People power has again won out this week with the Ombudsman announcing she would conduct a review into the procedures of Airservices Australia as they made their decisions on the Sunshine Coast Airport's proposed flight paths.

Residents across Noosa rallied last month when they became aware flight paths from the Sunshine Coast Council's new international runway would cross the skies across Noosa daily in areas not previously accustomed to air traffic.

Sunshine Coast Council rejected calls from Noosa Council to conduct environmental impact studies in the proposed areas, saying Noosa would benefit financially from the airport. It might take some time for the outcome to be determined but the Ombudsman has promised to keep the community informed of the progress of the review.

There's plenty happening in Noosa this weekend. Buskers will take up positions along Gympie Terrace on Saturday for the Australian busking championship with finalists performing on Sunday as part of the Come Together Festival which will provide an array of activities and entertainment at Lions Park Noosaville. ● - Margaret Maccoll

THIS WEEK WE’RE TALKING ABOUT…

ROOF TOP JUST TOO HIGH A roof top terrace has become a major sticking point for a new dining and entertainment and shop development at a former convenience store at 6 Heron Street, Peregian Beach Village that is a topic of discussion at a Special Meeting called by Noosa Council on 5 June.

On 7 June 2012, Council approved a Development Permit for a two-storey building with a mixed restaurant & shop on the ground floor, and office tenancies on the

first floor. At the time a roof top terrace was also approved for the use of tenants only and specifically prohibiting the use of the terrace for any restaurant or shop use.

Council officers have recommended the current application submitted to Council last December by Andema Pty Ltd be refused.

Officers say the proposed development exceeds the required 2 storeys and 8 metres in height and consists of a roof top terrace which is to be used in conjunction with the

entertainment and dining business.

"Whilst acknowledging that there is an existing approval which permits redevelopment of the site the proposed height and built form of the current application is not consistent with surrounding development and the informal character of the Peregian beach village," they say. Council cites the lack of additional car parking as another reason for the refusal of the application. ●

OLD HEADS ON YOUNG SHOULDERS It was in 2018 that four young boys, at the ripe old age of 13 and 14 years, decided to undertake a project that was not just something of concern to their school and school friends, but also their parents. And this was not just a problem of local concern for it is indeed nationwide and of the utmost importance.

The four boys Charley Fraser, Luca Dadzio, Lachy Sandford-Bell and Xavier Hargreaves all students of St Andrews Anglican College decided that despite their youth they would form up into a group and attack the problem, the School Yard Bully, head on. The aim of the group which they named the Bully Buddies is to educate fellow students and develop a self-belief program for the school. This grew into a Community Problem Solving Project

and after many months of planning and organizing they submitted the end product into a nation- wide project known as the Future Problem Solvers Competition.

Having won the Queensland division they proceeded to Melbourne to contest the national final which they won.

As a result of their win, on Tuesday the boys flew to America to represent Australia at the Future Problem Solving International finals to be held this month at the University of Massachusetts. To have four young boys, at such a young age, not only confrontingbut also act on such major problem is indeed something in which our community should take pride. Proud to say they are OUR BOYS. ●

Break and enters have been in the news lately but figures show the number of home break and enters in the Noosa Shire has been on a downward trend over the past 20 years hitting its lowest level this year while the police are recording higher rates of crime solving than the state average.

Noosa senior sergeant Ben Carroll said while there had been a spate of break and enters over the past four weeks they were still three per cent down on last year and the "clear up" rate by local police was 31 per cent which was seven per cent higher than the state average.

Snr sgt Carroll said police suspect drugs fueled the majority of property crime and expected the downward trend in home breakins to be the result of a number of reasons.

"There's better security, no-one has any money in our cashless society, things are not as valuable anymore - TVs are as cheap as chips and hard to get rid of - and forensics has improved," he said.

Shop break and enters are on the rise, however, with a 33 per cent increase, but police are fighting against them, having cleared 60 per cent, compared to the state rate of 35 per cent.

CCTV, good investigative work and the linking of crimes through forensics has been the key to police success in the region, snr sgt Carroll said.

Noosa police are also ahead of the state when it comes to stolen cars and stealing from cars. Police in Noosa are solving 48 per cent of car thefts compared to the state average of 46 per cent and cleaning up 20 per cent of the thefts from cars compared to 15 per cent around the state. ●

THE IMPACT OF ART

BY ABBEY CANNAN

A

rt can create conversation, generate joy and stimulate creative thinking, reflection and awareness.

And if necessary, art has the ability to inspire change.

Inspiring change is something long-time Sunshine Beach resident and artist Yanni Van Zijl hopes to do with her environmental art works.

"I believe art can inspire a grass roots movement, from the individual, to corporations, to government to create change," Yanni said.

Yanni spends her days creating art in all forms from photography, ceramics, three-dimensional pieces, ephemeral work, sculptures and installation work.

Most recently, Yanni had three entries into the Australian Wearable Art Festival in Eumundi, pushing the boundaries of fashion into the realm of sculpture.

Yanni's daughter Sophia modelled Yanni's garments which were made from resourced or discarded materials.

"I enjoyed the challenge to make something beautiful from things that otherwise would have gone to landfill," she said.

The first piece, called 'Fashionista' was made from Clean Up Australia and weed bags that Yanni uses each week when volunteering with bush regeneration.

"The woven texture reminded me of canvas, always having longed to paint I enjoyed the creative process of spray painting the bags prior to the garment construction. The head dress was made from old picture frames," Yanni said.

The second garment, called 'Great

4 NOOSA TODAY

|

Australian Bight BLIGHT' was made from bicycle inner tubes and an old tennis net which resembled fishing nets.

"My inspiration was that due to oil and gas exploration, deadly seismic blasting has recently been approved in the whale rich waters of the Great Australian Bight.

These sonar cannons fire loud explosions every 10-15 seconds 24 hours a day seven days a week which have a deadly impact on zooplankton. It damages whales hearing and keeps them from feeding and breeding grounds," she said.

Finally, the third garment called 'High Viss-uals' was made from discarded roadside barrier material.

"I hand cut formations into the existing plastic to create a lighter lacier design. The hair cuff and matching bracelet were made from a traffic cone," Yanni said.

Being creative seems to have always been a major part of Yanni's life, as a child you would find her outdoors playing with whatever she could find.

"I was a master mud cake maker, I guess things haven't changed all that much, now I play with clay and making things from waste which brings great satisfaction," she said.

"I had always wanted to study art but my parents thought it a waste of time, getting a paying job straight out of school was more important to them."

Yanni was born in Melbourne and first moved to Queensland at the age of 13, before eventually moving to Sunshine Beach with her husband.

"Peter and I decided to move to Sunshine Beach 22 years ago despite warnings from people who lived here at the time saying, 'don't come as there isn't any work.' Thank heavens we didn't take their advice," she said.

Thursday, 6 June, 2019

Yanni certainly found work for herself doing something she loved, after studying a Diploma of Photography she became a selfemployed photographer.

"It was terrific as it gave me the ability to be a stay at home mum. 13 years later I studied a diploma of Fine Art at Tewantin TAFE," she said.

"I now pursue art full time but haven't yet found my 'one' thing. I studied the diploma of art as I have always longed to paint, photography is painting with light, but it was getting my hands dirty that I enjoyed most, hence ceramics, 3D and ephemeral work. I explore form and dream of building huge sculptures. Often my ceramics are maquettes for these ideas.

"I also love installation work, several years ago I met Pam Walpole and we started to collaborate under art forARTsake as we felt there was a lack of art locally. We make installations that bring about awareness to environmental issues. We began making large installations from HDPE - recycled milk bottle plastic, we use it to highlight the issues of recycling and plastic in the ocean."

Plastic and other marine debris is a globally recognised environmental issue of increasing concern.

CSIRO conducts world-leading research into marine debris in Australia and beyond, on land and at sea, to help protect ecosystems and wildlife.

A recent study by CSIRO surveyed rubbish at 100km intervals around the Australian coastline and found threequarters of it was plastic, as was most floating debris. The study found the density of plastic ranges from a few thousand pieces of plastic per square kilometre to more than 40,000 pieces of plastic per square

kilometre. Globally about one third of marine turtles and nearly half of seabird species have likely ingested debris, the study found. CSIRO predicts plastic ingestion by seabirds may reach 95 per cent by 2050.

In 2017 a consortium of 47 environment groups nationwide chose Noosa as the pilot area in Queensland to test plastic-free living through a campaign by environmental group the Boomerang Alliance.

The latest figures released by Plastic Free Noosa revealed that at the end of March the amount of plastic saved is 2.7 million pieces. That's the number of pieces of plastic that would have been used by businesses and organisations had they not decided to switch away from plastic.

Yanni hopes to inspire more people to take the plastic-free initiative with her art installations.

"We have one planet, it nurtures and provides for us, and we need to nurture it in return if we expect it to continue to do so," she said.

"You cannot repeatedly take without giving something back.

"I applaud Noosa Today having gone plastic free, it is one thing to talk about plastic, however actions speak louder than words, that is what Noosa Today has done."

Change often starts with the youth, and Yanni is working on an initiative called eARTh-ed to engage kids with creative sustainability workshops, with the help of environmental educator Kylie Moses: art 4 eARTh. "With eARTh-ed education I tell the kids that they have the power to make change, imagine if every child refused a straw, would fast food chains still provide them? They have a voice and a responsibility," she said. noosatoday.com.au

''Murtle the Turtle'' by Yanni, made from beach flotsam collected from the NNP. Being surrounded by nature is what Yanni loves most about Noosa and the hinterland.

"We are extremely fortunate to back onto the Noosa National Park, having the bush at the back door and the beach in walking distance makes me grateful each and every day. What we noticed when we first moved here was how friendly everyone was, I put it down to the fact that we all feel so lucky to live here," she said.

Yanni is currently working on a range noosatoday.com.au

of projects, starting off with an entry for Sculpture on the Edge (SOTE) in Maleny which will be a living sculpture.

"I created the forms and am currently coaxing moss to grow onto them. It is a work about the health of forests and how we need to nurture and protect the smaller components if we desire optimum health for a forest, same applies for the ocean, micro plastics are as damaging as big pieces of plastic. We need to take care at a micro level then the bigger issues will follow," she said.

"It's very exciting, this is the first year there will be work in situ in the Noosa National Park. Art in the landscape, a perfect combination for me," she said.

The artistic pair have also been accepted into SWELL on the Gold Coast, where they are making a 15-metre installation made from milk bottles.

And it doesn't stop there, Yanni is also

taking part in Noosa Open Studios, where she will be displaying her ceramics and sculptures on Friday 16 August.

"Noosa Open Studios is another fantastic initiative showcasing the brilliant local talent we have here in spades," Yanni said.

MORE REASONS TO CHOOSE TINY

BY MARGARET MACCOLL When Fred Schultz visited Noosa last weekend to run his DIY tiny house workshop it was filled with a diverse group of people wanting to declutter, survive living on a pension, reduce financial burdens or live an alternate future in their old age.

The weekend workshop held at the Tait Duke Cottage at Tewantin provided participants with the practical information they needed in their consideration of a tiny house either on or off wheels.

Topics from design and materials, the pros and cons of building on trailers to going off grid and the variety of council legislation across the country were covered in the workshops.

"It's a clarifier for people," he said. "It takes a certain tenacity and boldness to build a tiny house. You just have to be a bit handy or have handy friends you can call on."

Fred and his wife started building a tiny house in 2010. They outgrew it with their second child and bought a family house.

Fred said the tiny house had enabled them to save for their home, a factor which was a popular reason for younger people to own tiny houses, he said.

He said the workshops attracted a variety of people with older women becoming a group showing increasing interest in tiny houses.

Builder Rob Doran who travels the country in his own converted van has plans to build tiny houses for women over 50 years of age which he has identified in his travels to be a growing market.

"Most of these women can't get a mortgage. They have family with land they can put it on. If they built a traditional granny flat they can't move it. If you're independent you can pack it up and move it if you need to," he said.

"I see an opportunity to make some money and I can do something at a reasonable price," Rob said.

Rob said he expected he could build tiny 3-4 houses on trailers a year for about $50,000 each and had received positive response when testing the market.

Ute Schulenberg is approaching retirement, has little superannuation, owns

Roger Everett, Ute Schulenberg and Lucas Skelly.

Fred Schultz passes on some practical skills at his tiny house workshop.

Builder Rob Doran with his mobile tool shed. no property and is currently renting for $300 a week.

"Rents are expensive. I see this as a way of living off the grid with a big financial outcome on the pension," she said.

Ute said friends had already offered her a space on their land to park her tiny house and she had hit upon a rate of about $80 a month.

"It's an awesome opportunity to have a

life after work," she said.

Carpenter Lucas Skelly was soon to finish his final course of chemotherapy to treat cancer. He said his illness meant he could no longer work as he had done and a tiny house provided him an affordable housing option.

Former business man Roger Everett said he and his wife were both in their seventies currently lived in a remote location on their farm and saw a tiny house as a way of gaining

mobility and more support as they aged.

Roger envisaged a future with tiny house villages where the couple could move in with like-minded people of all ages. "People going for tiny houses are not pursuing a big house. They value lifestyle," he said.

He said having visited several retirement villages the couple knew that lifestyle was not for them.

"You'll find (tiny house) villages being in desirable locations with longer term tenancies. They're already talking about it in Melbourne and Coffs Harbour," he said. "It offers a different approach to old age than aged care homes."

SUICIDE SURVEY SHOWS NEED FOR SKILLS TO SAVE LIVES A USC survey has found that one in five Sunshine Coast participants admitted they would not tell anyone if they had depression while most would discuss mental health concerns with family and friends but they didn't believe they had the skills to help them.

The survey of 800 Sunshine Coast residents aged from 16 to 86 years was led by postdoctoral research fellow Dr Amanda Clacy and conducted by USC's Sunshine Coast Mind and Neuroscience - Thompson Institute as part of its community partnership initiative The Alliance for Suicide Prevention - Sunshine Coast.

Dr Clacy said the findings highlighted the need for the public to increase their awareness of mental health issues, and gain the skills needed to support those close to them.

She said three in four people said they were likely to talk to their doctor about their mental health, which was a fairly positive statistic.

"But there is still a quarter of the population that isn't confident that a doctor noosatoday.com.au

can help or has the skills to identify mental health concerns and provide them with support," she said.

"GPs obviously have a vital role to play in reducing suicide rates, so there is a need to increase doctors' confidence to act to help their patients and also increase the willingness of people to seek that help."

Perhaps the most concerning find of all, Dr Clacy said, was that one in five people wouldn't tell anyone at all if they had depression.

"This could be due to perceived stigma and personal shame around mental illness," she said.

"Sixty-three percent of people believe stigma prevents people from seeking help, and findings indicate that unhelpful beliefs, such as that mental illness is a sign of weakness, still exist."

Dr Clacy said one of the surprising findings of the survey was that there wasn't a significant difference between the attitudes of males and females. Also surprising was the mistaken belief by people that depression was contagious and people with

depression were dangerous.

The Alliance hosts free suicide awareness training every month, so people can learn how to identify when a person might be struggling and connect them to professional help and has also developed a program that integrates this training into workplaces.

Dr Clacy said signs of depression that people should look out included changes in behaviour such as not sleeping, changes in diet, a loss of passion for work or hobbies, or a lack of commitment or purpose.She said people with depression often perceive themselves to be a burden on others.

On average, one person per week dies by suicide on the Sunshine Coast, which is higher than the national average.

"Understanding how our community reacts to or manages mental illness is so important because we know that depression is a precursor to suicide," she said.

Dr Clacy said the survey would be further analysed and information would be used to inform activities and develop future programs. â—?

AIRPORT PLAN RELEASED FOR PUBLIC SAY The draft Sunshine Coast Airport Master Plan 2040 has been released by Sunshine Coast Council for community engagement until Friday 9 August with an information display at Peregian Springs shopping centre from 12-2pm on Friday 7 June.

The Sunshine Coast Airport Master Plan 2040 incorporates the infrastructure being delivered by Sunshine Coast Council under the Sunshine Coast Airport Expansion Project (SCAEP) including a new 2,450m

runway, with an associated 1,300m taxiway and other facility upgrades.

The SCAEP promises to increase passengers to the Sunshine Coast per annum from 1.2 million to 3 million, contribute to the annual GRP from $75m to $170m and increase the regional population from 350,000 to 500,000.

The Draft Master Plan outlines that Sunshine Coast Airport will operate with the one runway - runway 13/31 - following

its inauguration at the end of 2020 and accommodate all current aircraft operators as well as wide-body passenger aircraft, which cannot use the existing runway. It will also enable aircraft to carry full passenger and freight loads, which the restricted nature of the existing runway prevents.

With the new runway in operation, the existing runway will be fully decommissioned.

Sunshine Coast Council, which is

responsible for delivering the new runway, announced late last year that the southern section (approximately 1,000 metres) of the existing runway 18/36 would be permanently closed and re-purposed as a taxiway providing access to the southern apron.Sunshine Coast Airport CEO Andrew Brodie said feedback was encouraged from across the community.

PLASTICS STUDY FINDS SIZE DOES MATTER FOR MARINE LIFE A study measuring the size of plastic rubbish ingested by seabirds in Australia and New Zealand has found 90 percent fall within the "danger zone" of getting trapped in the bird's gut.

The joint research by the University of the Sunshine Coast, CSIRO and the University of Tasmania is one of the first to measure the dimensions of rigid plastic items ingested by various species of petrels, the world's most threatened bird group.

"We discovered that size does matter, with 90 percent of the plastics ingested by these sea birds falling within the range of 2-10 mm," USC marine biologist Dr Kathy Townsend said.

"These sizes are much smaller than we originally thought, and worryingly, fragments of plastic less than 10mm are the most abundant floating litter in the ocean," she said of the findings, published in the latest edition of the Marine Pollution Bulletin.

"Items of this size are small enough to make it past the first part of the gut into the stomach but are too large to make their way out through the rest of the small intestine, causing blockages that can result in death."

The research team measured 1694 rigid debris items from 348 carcasses of 20 species of petrels, collected from Australia and New Zealand over a five year period from 2013.

Plastic debris ingested by dead petrels.

Species includes short-tailed shearwaters, fairy prions and white-faced storm petrels.

The largest piece of plastic was over 5cm long - the size of a USB stick.

The findings come as another USC research project uncovered further evidence of the dangers of plastics pollution to marine turtles and sea birds - including an almost intact shopping bag dating back almost 50 years found in mangroves near Moreton Bay. Dr Townsend said the Coles Farmland bag was one of several old plastic bags and item rubbish collected during marine debris surveys along the SE Queensland coastline by a University research team.

"The logos on the plastic packaging are crystal clear allowing us to determine how long the items stay polluting our oceans and

"As we can see, plastic debris can last a very long time, increasing the ingestion risk to sea turtles and sea birds," she said.

The Coles Farmland logo was used between 1971-79, making one of the bags found up to 48-years-old.

"A Woolworth's plastic bag containing rubber gloves and a sarsaparilla can was found on the beach near Hervey Bay that

we could date back to between 1976-1987 making it at least 32-years-old."

Seabirds are particularly susceptible to ocean pollution, commonly mistaking ?oating plastics for food, with studies showing that half of petrel species regularly ingested plastic waste.

Dr Townsend said these findings and earlier studies into the impact of ocean debris on marine life highlighted the need to reduce single-use plastic production and usage, increase recycling and prevent plastic from making its way to the sea. ●

In her letter which was sent to all residents who contacted her office in relation to the flight paths and posted on the Flight Path Forum Facebook site Ms Bell acknowledges the serious concerns of residents about the flight path proposal and its potential aircraft noise ramifications.

"Like you, I want to see the matter addressed as quickly as possible. However, I know from experience that it can take some time for information and documentation to be gathered and for issues to be properly and thoroughly examined," she said. ● noosatoday.com.au

TAKE ON THE COASTREK ADVENTURE

BY DI WESTAWAY - CHIEF ADVENTURE CHICK AND FOUNDER OF COASTREK We all know there is a compelling list of reasons to exercise, from increasing longevity to improving mental health, lowering risk of chronic illness to maintaining healthy bones and muscles.

Yet we often still struggle to make it our priority, especially as working mums with a never-ending to-do list.

Coastrek is a 30km team trekking challenge for fun, fitness, friends and philanthropy.

Di Westaway, Founder and Chief Adventure Chick, has inspired over 30,000 people to get off the couch and into hiking.

She's sharing some tips to help prioritise getting active outside, especially for working mums. #1: You need to find out WHY you want to fit fitness into your life.

If you're struggling to prioritise fitness into your busy schedule, it's really important to work out your why, because that is a powerful motivator, and something to come back to whenever you're struggling to fit exercise in between the deluge of daily tasks. #2: Find a friend Working out on your own is boring.

Working out with friends is super fun! And it motivates you to exercise even when life threatens to get in the way. You might cancel on yourself, but most of us won't cancel on a friend.

#3 Get a goal ... A big fat one!

Having a goal makes motivation so much easier. It doesn't need to be too big, but it needs to feel just out of your comfort zone. Whether it's running 5km, walking the 30km or 60km Coastrek, or hiking to Everest Base Camp, it needs to be slightly scary but also feel achievable - with a bit of training. #4 Lend a helping hand Some people feel a bit guilty when they skip a workout. In my experience, working mums feel the opposite - they feel guilty when they do workout!

One of our Coastrek ambassadors, former Olympic swimmer Susie O'Neill, commented on how much she loved Coastrek because the fundraising element alleviated the guilt she felt for leaving her kids to go have a beautiful walk with her friends.

Coastrek has the immense power of bringing people together, lifting mood and healing hearts. It isn't just about fitness; it's about friends. And it isn't all about health; it's about hope. So grab your girl squad or someone who needs a little extra love, get in your activewear and do something with a powerful purpose - to make the world happier, healthier and more connected.

Join us on July 26 and explore the magic of the Sunshine Coast and complete this incredible adventure challenge with your friends whilst changing lives by supporting The Fred Hollows Foundation. Register now at www.coastrek.com.au. â—?

ago). Overall the earth’s geomagnetic field is becoming weaker. The deterioration corresponds to a 15 per cent decline over the last 200 years and has accelerated in the past several years. It would be logical to assume that concomitant with the rapid weakening of the Earth’s magnetic field more solar and cosmic radiation reaches the Earth’s atmosphere and surface, and along with the additional warming that would cause there is an increase in the amount of damage to the layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. The Earth’s magnetic north pole moved approximately 10 kilometres per year between 1900 and 1980 but it’s really accelerated in the last 40 years and is currently moving away from Canada towards Siberia at an unusually high speed of approximately 50kms per year. The speed of movement of the south magnetic pole is not as dramatic as the north pole but it has moved off the coast of Antarctica and is currently moving outside of the Antarctic circle. The magnetic field is particularly weak over a huge expanse of the southern hemisphere extending from Chile to Zimbabwe. The weakening intensity and size of this anomaly (called the South Atlantic Anomaly) is growing and is the cause of many satellite ‘hiccups’ as the satellites are exposed to strong radiation over this area.

the ozone layer and the production of the most important of greenhouse gases, water vapour. By analogy with those who believe the Earth is is reaching a catastrophic ‘tipping point’ or point of no return caused by the build up of man-made CO2 in the atmosphere, many believe the Earth’s magnetic field may be careering towards a ‘flipping point’ (or at least an excursion). Why hasn’t the same enthusiasm been shown for other potential contributors to global warming than there has been for man-made CO2? A major point of difference I see is that we can do nothing-zero-zilch about natural processes affecting climate. In the case of both the accelerated weakening and changes to the Earth’s magnetic field there is nothing we can do but sit on the top of Mount Sinai and wait for the end of the world as we know it. In contrast, being the control freaks that we (humankind) are, there is plenty we can do to reduce and eventually eliminate manmade CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.

There is no better vehicle for those with an academic, political, commercial, green or socialist agenda to strut their stuff, and this may be why this whole anthropogenic global warming circus is spiralling out of control.

I notice in the ‘Opinion’ page of your newspaper, (NT 30/5) that Steve Hall, Cooroy, has offerred $10,000 to anyone who can produce evidence of anything ‘that exists that could influence climate to the degree that carbon dioxide is’. The following is my response.

Steve Hall can donate the $10,000 to a charity of Noosa Today’s choice. Among the many natural processes that have caused warming and cooling of the planet in the past I would like to single out the role the earth’s magnetic field might play in influencing climate.

The earth’s magnetic field protects the earth from the full force of solar and cosmic radiation that would otherwise strip away the atmosphere (as happened with Mars when it lost its magnetic field four billion years

of the Earth’s magnetic field reverses every few hundred thousand years, the last reversal (‘flip’) was approximately 780,000 years ago, so we are well overdue for a magnetic reversal. Since 780,000 years ago the Earth’s magnetic field has almost ‘flipped’ 15 times (excursions), dropping in strength significantly but not quite reaching the threshold needed to ‘flip’ before rising again. As the Earth's magnetic field decays before recovering again the strength of the magnetic shield protecting the earth against solar and cosmic radiation is at its weakest and we are most at risk. The last excursion occurred 40,000 years ago. The strength of the magnetic field is decreasing at such an alarming rate that a number of scientists suggest we are heading that way again. The weakening and changes to the Earth’s magnetic field has been a 200year trend in the making. This time scale mimics the rise in man-made CO2 following the Industrial Revolution, and what better trend for a ‘hockey stick’ than the rapid weakening and the changes that have been observed in the magnetic shield protecting us from over exposure to solar and cosmic radiation, the ultimate source of energy and heat on Earth. In addition solar and cosmic radiation have a role to play in breaking down the atmosphere including changes to

12416070-FA16-19

Just who do the likes of Viv Forbes (NT 30/5) and Tony Abbott think they are fooling when they proclaim that we shouldn’t worry because climate has always changed?

Yes, climate has always changed. The reason we know this is that generations of climate scientists have gone out into the field and developed some pretty nifty techniques to actually measure those changes.

They tell us that in the past there have been some gradual and some more rapid changes in climate. They have identified the causes of most of these changes. All of the abrupt changes have resulted from sudden releases of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, often from enormous expanses of volcanic activity.

During most of these abrupt changes, life on earth has been decimated.

But the same community of climate scientists also tells us that none of the past causes is operating now, and that the rate of change far exceeds any in the past. Global temperatures are presently increasing at 20 times the rate of increase at the end of the last ice age, and that was one of the fastest warmings in the earth’s history. The only explanation for the present release of greenhouse gases is human activity, principally the burning of fossil fuels. And because the rate is so fast, the consequences will be serious.

What motivates climate deniers like Forbes and Abbott to cherry-pick only part of the scientists’ work? Is it ignorance, or is it that the full picture doesn’t fit with their politics?

In his letter, Viv Forbes calls for “hard science education”, which is ironic coming from a climate-denier. The hard science has been telling us for a long time that we face a climate crisis if we do nothing. Those who deny it, based on misplaced political ideology, are delaying action and making the situation worse.

CELEBRATE COMMUNITY TOGETHER Noosa Together Festival this weekend aims to bring the community together to celebrate our diversity, our oneness and our 'place'.

Now in its fourth year, the Noosa Come Together Festival has donated almost $42,000 to fund sailing, surfing and horse riding for locals with disabilities. And locals have given generously and wholeheartedly to support the event each and every year.

"Firstly we have a committed bunch of sponsors ... some who have donated money from day one, like Laguna Real Estate and Coast2Coast Earthmoving, and others who have jumped on board more recently," spokeswoman Kate Gardiner said.

"Secondly we run an online auction, and well over a 100 local businesses and individuals have donated products, services

and vouchers to help our fundraising. I am overwhelmed with local businesses who come straight back and say ... of course we will contribute. In return we ask our local followers to support them all year round ... shop local whenever you can.

"Thirdly we have locals who come to the Free festival every year" Many love the busking competition which starts on Saturday. The shortlisted buskers will perform on the Betty Wallace Stage on Sunday from 11am, kicking off a full day of musical entertainment across three stages.

An online auction is already live at https://app.galabid.com/noosa and will accept bids from now till 4pm on Sunday 9 June. It includes offers for VIP experiences, everyday purchases, collectibles, local

products and even puppy training by a local and international expert. If you choose to buy something you will not only be thanking locals who support what we do; you will be rewarded ten times over if you can imagine how much joy is had by those lucky enough to access sailing, surfing and horse-riding because of your contribution.

At 7pm, when the sun has well and truly set down on the river's edge the skies over the festival will light up with Noosa's Largest Laser Show, sponsored by RJS Accounting and will close the event.

"We have done away with fireworks as we recognise the trauma to wildlife and domestic animals that fireworks cause," Kate said.Make sure you have this event in your family diary ... a once a year opportunity to thank locals for locals. â—?

THE BEST LINE UP EVER FOR THE FEST Noosa Come Together Festival on this weekend will pay tribute to two local legends, Betty Wallace and Mark Davidson, who were known for their kindness to others, with the naming of the festival stages in their honour.

The main stage will be named after Mark Davidson, an avid supporter of the festival, who passed away two years ago in the middle of the two-day festival.

When the first festival was held Mark was the last person to leave the event.

Despite being in a lot of pain at the time he stayed into the night to make sure every bit of rubbish had been cleaned up after the festival.

The other stage will be named after Better Wallace who recently passed away. Betty became a Noosa icon for her infamous $1 burgers which fed a generation of local youth. The stage will be opened at 11am by Betty's daughter Kim Lentz.

Festival organiser Oz Bayldon said the festival celebrated being local and was very proud to be associated with these two legends for as long as the festival was alive.

The festival will begin on Saturday 8 June with the Noosa Busking Championship organised by Rotary Noosa Heads. Part of an Australia-wide competition the Noosa busking championship will bring together buskers to play at hotspots along Gympie Terrace and compete for a range of prizes, including the People's Favourite, which is awarded as a result of votes cast by attendees on the day.

On Sunday a lineup of entertainment has been organised. Headlining the event is festival favourites, The Hill Billy Goats who were finalists in the Golden Guitar award in three of the past four years and have performed at pretty much every festival in Australia. Noosa Yacht and Rowing Club has provided a stage this year, with local legends Bob Abbott and Phippsy presenting.

Additionally, there will be food stalls, a train, bouncing castle, climbing wall,

petting zoo, and representatives from Queensland Reds, Noosa Dolphins and Eumundi Dragons will be there. There will be all day kids activity passes for $5 and a chance to try sailing for a gold coin donation. New additions this year include Laser tag and a reptile enclosure.

HIGH ENERGY ROCK AND BLUES Make your way to The Imperial Hotel Eumundi on Friday 7 June for what will be an awesome double headline gig with Little Billie and Jesse Redwing.

Little Billie is a four-piece band with a distinctive sound that is rooted in the blues, with a gritty rockabilly edge, and a pumping live vibe.

Featuring killer blues lead guitar, strong female vocals, punchy double bass, and hard-hitting drums, Little Billie takes no prisoners, and their energetic live performances are undeniably powerful.

Originally formed in 2015 by lead vocalist Tahnee Sarah, the band has evolved from their traditional 50's Chicago blues and rockabilly roots by mixing it up with an original modern twist, to produce a highenergy blues, rock and rockabilly fusion.

With upcoming international shows including a Mediterranean Blues Cruise 'Keeping the Blues Alive at Sea' with Joe

one of the most soulful and authentic blues players in the business.

He's played extensively in venues across Australia, completed two USA tours over the past couple of years, and has supported acts such as Cold Chisel, Nic Cester (Jet) and Ana Popovic.

"I wasn't born to the blues, but it found me somehow and now there's no turning back," he said.

2016 was a big year for Redwing, signing a worldwide publishing deal with Big Deal/ Mushroom Music and having his song Crawlin Up The Walls featured in hit Netflix series Shooter.

Jesse is currently putting the finishing touches on his second album due for release later in the year.

TICKETS: $20 (+ booking fee) through Oztix or at the Imperial Hotel (Ph: 5442 8811). Doors open 7.30pm. â—?

Little Billie.

Bonamassa and Peter Frampton, Little Billie is definitely a band to catch. They'll be launching their new EP 'Slow Burn' at the

Eumundi gig.

Joining Little Billie is Jesse Redwing and his full band. Hailing from Sydney, Jesse

COMMUNITY FILM FESTIVAL SHARING A WORLD OF STORIES To celebrate Refugee Week the Sunshine Coast Refugee Action Network is coordinating a Community Film Festival.

Five different films will be screened at seven venues across the Coast, sharing stories of refugees and people seeking asylum.

Throughout Refugee Week, 16 - 22 June, there are films screening in Maleny, Caloundra, Buderim, Sippy Downs and Nambour, as well as Eumundi and Noosa.

The award winning documentary "Mary meets Mohammad" is screening at The J, Noosa Junction on Wednesday 19 June, hosted by Noosa Welcomes Refugees.

The film gives us a view of the refugee detention centre in Tasmania through the eyes of local knitting club member Mary as she connects with Mohammad via the gift of a knitted beanie. The event is free, refreshments will be available and the film will be followed by discussion.

On Thursday 20 June, World Refugee Day, Berkelouw Books in Eumundi is hosting a free screenings of "Border Politics" with the help of Starry Nights movies.

The film follows leading Human Rights barrister, Julian Burnside, as he explores asylum seeker policies around the world and considers what they mean for Western democracy. There will be a short discussion and Q&A session after the film and light refreshments will be provided.

Film Festival coordinator, Gillian Duffy,

said "Four of the five films in the Festival are documentaries by Australian directors and one is an Australian comedy. There are stories of courage and resilience, and the films are variously heart-warming, inspiring, uplifting or challenging, but all of them are thought provoking".

Refugee Week is an initiative of the Refugee Council of Australia. It has been celebrated nationally every year since 1986

40%= 2337% %2( 8)) 94 % 092', 74)'-%0

IMPRESSIVE PERFORMANCE AT NATIONALS Two gymnast from the Cooroy Gymnastics Club impressed when they competed recently at the 2019 Australian Gymnastics Championships in Melbourne.

Having trained under head coach Jeff Ferrer gymnasts Dean Chandler and Finlay Jones worked hard to prepare for the event in their preferred apparatus of pommel and vault for Dean and Finlay focusing on rings, parallel bars and the all around award.

The duo travelled with the eight-member Queensland team who came from five clubs to the event which featured almost 1500 of Australia's best gymnasts over the six gymnastics disciplines, including artistic gymnastics, trampoline, acrobatics and aerobics.

The first day of competition was tough for the Cooroy competitors who had falls on apparatus.

Both gymnasts fell twice on pommel and Finlay fell again on one of his best events, the parallel bars.

The Queensland team was victorious in the event on the first day with the best three scores from the team on each apparatus.

Taking full point deductions for falls on the first day the Cooroy boys all around score was below their expectations, with Dean 21st and Finlay 10th.

But the second day offered a chance to come back.

Starting on rings the boys put in a solid day of competition with Finlay putting in a rings routine that couldn't be matched.

Both boys impressed, improving scores over the previous day and lifting on almost all apparatus. Finlay put in a solid performance on parallel bars winning silver. Dean had an almost flawless pommel routine before clipping his feet near the end finishing 4th. Finlay improved his pommel by staying on to finish 3rd.

Dean lifted his all around position to 18th place and Finlay improved 5.2 points from the first day to win the all around title.

Dragons took on an impressive Noosa team at Brothers this weekend. It was a fast game and both teams were working hard.

The forwards had been working hard on their scrums and it showed again this week.

Our boys have some lessons to take from the game and they will continue to improve.

Standout for the game, all over the field and into everything, was Max who was awarded Man of the Match, and Tom was awarded Most Improved Player.

It was a pleasure to play Noosa, and they deserved their win.

U7'S MATCH REPORT BY TEAM MANAGER JERO MANSELL The Dragons U7's had two great games against Noosa and Saints on Saturday

at the Brothers ground at Kawana. The team showed excellent improvement in passing through both games. The coach implemented more structure into the team which improved the passing and resulted in really good participation across the whole team. A standout performance from Zach Eaton in running on attack and in defence and some good passing earned him player of the week. Special thanks to our helpers from the U6's, we couldn't do it without you. ●

OFF TO THE NATIONALS Five Noosa water polo players were selected to represent Queensland at the national competition to be held at the Doone Kennedy Aquatic Centre in Hobart from 6-12 July.

The players, Juliette Painter (U14 Girls), Auguste Korac, Indra Kelly and Smith Connors (U14 Boys) and Thomas Neal (U14 Development Team) were all nominated into Queensland Squads last month and have been travelling to Brisbane up to three times a week for training and to secure a place in their respective

teams. Four of the students school at Good Shepherd Lutheran College (Augie, Smith and Thomas hail from the same core class) and one is from St Teresa's Catholic College.

GSLC water polo coordinator Meagan Oakley is thrilled by the selections and excited for the upcoming Term 3 Sunshine Coast Schools Competition. "Noosa has a great track record of producing elite water polo athletes and this year is no exception, we wish players all the very best in Tasmania," she . ●

DIARY DATE SET FOR NOOSA GIFT Mark it in your diary, Saturday 23 November 2019 will be one of Noosa's biggest sporting events of the year. The Noosa Gift. This track and field event, will this year celebrate its 10th year and all indications are it will be the best ever.

Run by the Noosa Little Athletics Club, the carnival will be held at the Girraween Sports Complex and will feature a wide range of events. The first ever running of the Gift was held at Reid Park in Tewantin on 10 October 2010 and since then the club has gone from strength to strength, producing over the years, several champions at both State and National level. It also had athletes chosen to represent Australia at International meets. Definitely a club with a future.

Speaking of a future the Noosaville Sunshine Coastal Martial Arts Dojo continues to not only teach the art of Shotokan Karate in the strict traditional form, but also to produce winners at competition level. At the Queensland Invitation Championships held in Brisbane the club once again came home with many gold medals but most important received the award, the Club of the Tournament.

"We are happy with these results," said Head Sensei (teacher) Bryan Dukas, "it is great preparation for the Australian

Championships and the World Shotokan Karate Federation Titles (in Tokyo) both of which will be held in August."

Saturday was a big day for the Dolphins Rugby Union Club; it was their annual Sponsors Day, the day when the club acknowledge the importance of these organisations plus the incredible support shown by Wide Bay MP Llew O'Brien.

To mark the occasion the Dolphins played host to a visit from Caloundra Rugby Union club with games between the Colts, the Ladies, Reserve grade and

the importance of good conduct and their place in the community and also good community skills."

Major sponsors whose contribution has been outstanding are Madills, Ray White Real Estate, Doonan Sand and Gravel and Kannards Hire with many other smaller sponsors in support. On the field of play it was a good day for Dolphins, three wins from four games; a win for the Colts 64-3, Reserve grade 19-7 and in the match of the day the Seniors won 38-12. Unfortunately the under strength Ladies, went down to Caloundra 34-5.

Saturday evening members and invited guests attended the Sunshine Beach Surf Life Saving Clubs Annual Dinner and Presentation of Trophies. Held at Noosa Springs it was well attended. Amongst guests was Llew O'Brien who now stands with John Madill as Club Patron.

Club president Scott Summers welcomed all and congratulated the members on their patrol and competition achievements. Major awards went to Doug Gould Lifesaver of the Year, Patrol Captain Simon Thompson and Surf Sports Freya Wilson. Also in attendance were nine who proudly wore the badge Life Member. "This is the biggest number we have ever had in attendance," said a proud club captain James Ross. ●

Seniors. Dolphins President Donald McKill thanked the sponsors when he said, ''without your support it would be very hard to run a successful club. Your support has been unbelievable. The work of our Federal Minster Llew O'Brien in obtaining a government grant that will enable us to build a new machinery shed; this is indeed a major step forward."

Also In his welcome Junior President Rob Frey said, "Our sponsors are the life blood of our club. Juniors are not just about football, but above all teaching our youth

HOOK, LINE & SINKER

JACK MANGROVE

WILD BASS SEASON HAS BEGUN - CLEAR SKIES, LIGHT WINDS With a change in weather we are now looking at clear skies and lighter winds. The offshore brigade have been making the most of the calm seas and lighter winds. Sunshine reef continues to be a favourite with trout upward of 7kg reported, with livies the most effective method. Spanish mackerel are still about and having a free swimming gang hooked or live bait rig bait can work very well. Off the reef some cracking sweetlip, red throat and small snapper have been landed, especially around North Reef. You can target these on baits, but a great way to do it is by using slow fall jigs. These sink slowly and flutter, causing big vibration that mimics a dying baitfish. Soft plastics are a must if you are in a slow drift. Keep an eye on your sounder and create waypoints as you drift. You can also burn your plastic up should you see a decent show several meters off the bottom.

Beach fishing has been hit and miss during the daytime but jewies continue to dominate during the low light nights of the new moon. The bigger tides this week

saw some cracking fish caught. Big dart were also reported from the various gutters during the daytime. Baits to use include fresh mullet, bonito and beach worm baits.

All of the baits have a great smell and oil content so load up those hooks and you never know. Around the river mouths some nice whiting have been caught using light 6lb lines and live beach worms or yabby baits. Don't forget to check your pump works well and be sure to pick up a spare washer if yours has perished.

The Noosa River is starting to clear up each day and the spring tides this week have certainly given it a good flush. Trevally, tailor, whiting, bream and flatties are all on offer. Lure anglers are still concentrating

the spring tides build.

Freshwater fish will be seeking warm water will be sitting deep so have sounders running down and side scan and be sure to pepper any schools with all you have to entice a bite. Small jigs bounced up and down on the bottom can annoy them into biting so persist if they are they and not feeding. Remember the closed season for wild bass starts from 1st June until Aug 31st which means fishing the Noosa Everglades is closed to angling. This makes now a great time to experience Lake MacDonald and Borumba. Don't forget your SIPPS permits and have fun on the water.

So on behalf of Jack Mangrove, best of luck on your fishing adventures! ●

their efforts along the ski run and Cooroibah Lake for jewies and flatties with soft plastics and scent the go. Further down toward the mouth bigger bream, golden trevally and flatties are found especially from the coastguard toward woods bay.

The frying pan is a great place to target fish in search of warmer waters during the daytime. These shallow sand flats can hold huge whiting and with that you can also expect to find a big flatties. Woods Bays are holding a mix of trevally and tailor showing up so use a range of grub and prawn style plastics and surface lures. Crabs are still moving around so check your pots are in good condition and be sure to keep them close to the edges and weigh them down as

LIFE OF BRINE

PHIL JARRATT

GORE OF GLORY AT THE BOX

BY MARGARET MACCOLL I have to admit I've been glued to the box quite a bit since returning home, what with Margaret River coming alive by day and the cricket World Cup kicking in each evening, but never more so than last weekend's "Super Saturday" at the terrifying Margie's slab known, fittingly, as "The Box".

As a certifiable world tour tragic, I'm all for watching the WSL decided in the most challenging waves on offer, but The Box on Saturday was not only next level (as the commentators said over and over again); in the latter stages of the round, as the tide backed off the reef, it was downright deadly.

How times change. The first time I went to Margaret River, in a previous century, Mainbreak was a left only, and that clump of reef at the north end of the bay that stood up when the swell got serious was an aberration not even on our radar. When I went back for the pro event a couple of years ago, I was amazed to watch what the best surfers could do at the virtual closeout of North Point, and stunned to see what they would take off on at The Box. Of course, world tour events have long been held at so-called "waves of consequence", notably the razor-sharp reefs of Pipeline and T'eahupoo, not to mention Big Wave Tour events at ridiculously lifethreatening breaks like Nazare in Portugal.

But there is something quite sinister about the thick, swirling death-trap monsters of The Box.

The writing was on the wall soon after dawn when the Italian stallion Leo Fioravanti struggled in from a practice session with his shoulder hanging from its socket. But there was no way the WSL was going to be denied the most exciting day of the entire tour. And for most of it, while there were plenty of spine-tingling wipeouts and oh Martha moments on the couch at home, there were also some incredible performances from the likes of Brazil's Italo Ferreira and hometown injury replacement Jack Robinson.

But as the day wore on, the tide drained off the reef and surfers were skating the thin line between the full force of the Indian Ocean and a clump of jagged rock. By the time Julian Wilson jumped off the ski for his heat against Jadson Andre, it was truly, deeply dangerous. As the ocean boiled around them, both surfers showed total commitment, pushing over the ledge to air drop onto the reef and hope for the best, but

clearly it was going to end in tears.

Andre took the drop on the biggest wave of the heat, got ferociously blasted off his board and onto the reef in a sickening "scorpion" back-fold. As Perry Hatchett rounded on the jet ski to pick up the pieces of the gutsy Brazilian, my mind went back to the middle of the night a few years back, in front of my laptop watching Julian waiting for the set to pass so he could see if Mick Fanning had survived the shark attack at J-Bay. Real time. WSL has got it right, you can't script this.

As it turned out, Jaddy was okay bruised and battered but no breaks. But no one wants to see surfers at risk like this.

I was on the beach at Pipeline one early December day in 2005 when Tahitian Malik Joyeux took an air drop on a monster and was knocked unconscious by his board. I'll never forget the fear and trepidation that filled the beach until the body was found washed into the rocks at Pupukea.

Malik was a fearless big wave rider at just 25, a funny, sunny kid who was a star member of our Quiksilver Europe surf team, representing the Gotcha brand. Like many of us who witnessed the frantic search and tragic discovery that morning, I knew Malik well and often surfed with him in France.

His loss was terribly painful for all of us, but it was a free surf. No one had told him to put on a rashie and get out there to win or die trying.

I just hope I never see that happen.

Ready, Wrecks?

There'll be no death-defying stuff at the 15th running of the Noosa Malibu Club's Wrecks and Relics comp this weekend, although you can be reasonably certain the Celebrex and the Nurofen will get plenty of use.

I've surfed in a lot of them and I love this annual gathering of old surf dogs, even though as I get older the Over 50s division is beginning to look like a pack of grommets who have no place surfing with their elders and betters! We've had some pretty fun waves for the event over the years too, and this weekend looks promising, hopefully for First Point but more likely the banks at Noosa West.

And when we've walked the plank, cornered left and right and kept it nice and tight, we'll be repairing to the Reef Hotel on Sunday evening to dance the night away to the only band in town of approximately the same vintage as us - the Surfin' SandFlys.

Cowabunga! ●
