Merredin DPIRD upgrade heralds
next generation of dryland
agricultural research
Upgraded agricultural research,
development and innovation
facilities in Merredin are set to boost
the long-term profitability and
sustainability of dryland farming in
the Wheatbelt.
DPIRD Director General Ralph Addis, Agriculture and Food Minister
Alannah MacTiernan, DPIRD Farming Systems Innovation Manager
Intelligence and Adoption Renee Manning, and DPIRD Research and
Industry Innovation Managing Director Mark Sweetingham
The McGowan Government has
invested $1.8 million to upgrade the
Department of Primary Industries
and Regional Development's
Merredin site, after it was damaged
by a severe storm two years ago, to
ensure it has the scientific capacity to
remain at the forefront of agricultural
research.
Agriculture and Food Minister
Alannah MacTiernan officially
opened the renovated facility today,
which has also had its roof and
ceilings replaced, offices refurbished
and landscaping refreshed.
"We have taken the time and
opportunity to not only repair but
substantially improve the scientific
resources at the Merredin facility so
it is equipped with the tools and
infrastructure required to support
advances in dryland research.
"The rebuild includes purpose-built
laboratories that feature a new soil
preparation and processing area, with
additional room for pathology work
and a new near infrared machine to
enable our grains scientists to
improve efficiencies and expand the
breadth of their work.

By JAMIE CRIDDLE
The recent COVID-19 pandemic
has placed an enormous strain on
the Local, State and National
economies and the Shire of
Westonia sees local businesses as
an important part of the COVID
recovery process.
As a result, the Council has
reprioritised some spending within
its current budget to assist in
stimulating our local economy in
order to protect our highly valued
local businesses in these unusual
and difficult times. Council are
providing all residents, who are
over the age of 18 and who are
already on the Electoral Roll for
Westonia, with five (5) $10
vouchers, redeemable at any of the
businesses within Westonia.
This program runs for a limited
time which started Monday 28 June
and finishing on Monday 14
September 2020.
In addition, the Shire of Westonia
has agreed with the Wheatbelt
Business Network (WBN) to fully
subsidise the next full year of WBN
membership for all existing
Westonia businesses who will
obtain all the benefits that the WBN
has to offer.
Shire President Karin Day recently
stated “I am pleased to report that
the current Westonia Dollars
programme is tracking well. If you
are a Westonia resident or ratepayer
on the Electoral Roll, and have yet
to collect and spend your $50 of
vouchers - please do so soon - as
the last day you can spend the
money is strictly 14 September. I
wish to stress that this project is
primarily about putting the monies
into the affected businesses - and
the ‘multiplier effect’ that, in doing
so, it creates.”
The Council has worked hard to
bring this project to fruition because
of their strong belief that assisting
in stimulating the local economy
will do a lot towards saving small
businesses in Westonia. The
initiative is funded by looking at the
Shire’s operations and using the
savings in expenditure, and
increasing revenue generated
throughout the year. This has given
Shire of Westonia—COVID-19
“Recovery @ Westonia”
Campaign
Council the opportunity to assist our
Westonia-based businesses at a time
of great need.
Our hope is that you will use local
businesses that you believe have
been most impacted by the current
COVID Pandemic. We want you to
spend your vouchers at the business
of your choice but spend it soon and
spend it now. Local businesses are
waiting, and they need your help
NOW!
Other measures as part of the
Shire’s COVID-19 Response and
Strategy include:
Zero percent (0%) rate increase,
essentially a freeze on the rate in
the dollar;
Zero percent (0%) increase in
Councils fees and charges,
(remain as per 2019/20);
2020/2021 Non-payment of rates
penalty interest not apply until
March 2021;
No Instalment administration fees
on all instalment options for
2020/2021;
Instalment interest be reduced to
5% on all instalment options for
2020/2021;
Upon request, a waiver of interest
on outstanding rates for those
businesses/individuals directly
affected by the Commonwealth/
State Government’s decision to
close various businesses between
23 March and 31 July 2020;
Upon request, a waiver of interest
on outstanding rates for those
businesses/individuals directly
affected by the State Governments
decision to close Western
Australia’s borders, between 23
March and 31 July 2020;
Shopping local, not just during this
pandemic but consistently will
ensure the ongoing strength of our
local economy and will enable our
local businesses to grow.

When I told my friends that I had
applied for a job in the Wheatbelt I
was confronted with a lot of hurtful
questions. “Why would you want to
live in the Wheatbelt?” “Surely
there's nothing out there for you?”
“Wouldn’t that be a bad move for
your career if you get it?” I must
admit, hearing things like these made
me doubt my decision to apply.
When I told my friends that I had
received an interview for the job in
the Wheatbelt, I was met with more
hurtful statements. “Why would you
drive 3 hours just to do an
interview?” “Why are you even
considering moving?” “You have a
good job here in Perth.” I must say,
hearing things like these made me
doubt my decision to attend the
interview.
When I told my friends I had been
offered the job in the Wheatbelt, I
was greeted with coldness. “But
you’re not going to take it, right?”
“Why would you even consider that,
how selfish.” I can confirm, hearing
things like these made me doubt my
decision to accept the job.
When I accepted the job in the
country, I decided not to tell my
friends. Knowing what their
comments would be, I left the city
unnoticed and started a new life in
Why wouldn’t I want to live
in the Wheatbelt?
the country. To my surprise, the
locals made me feel welcome and
were happy to lend a helping hand.
Though I was nervous to be the
newbie in town, I quickly settled in
and made it my home.
So now I ask, why is it that my
friends back home questioned my
decision to move to the Wheatbelt
when every day I get to wake up to
fresh air, friendly faces and beautiful
scenery? It seems the perception of
country living to city folk is that its
hot, muddy, and there's nothing to
see and do unless you’re a farmer –
if only they knew just how wrong
they are.
I only wish more people were as
open as I was to trying something
new, because I know that once they
experience living in the Wheatbelt,
they will never want to leave.

CEACA Units opened in
Official Ceremony
By KOHDEE HALL
The 27 independent living units
Central East Aged Care Alliance
(CEACA) development in Merredin
was officially opened in a ribbon
cutting ceremony at 2pm on Friday,
24 July 2020, at Unit 2 located on
Margaret Lane. The ceremony was
attended by state politicians,
representatives from the Shire of
Merredin, Local Governments from
around the Wheatbelt, as well as
CEACA residents and Merredin
community members.
The ceremony was opened by Shire
President Julie Flockart who
welcomed those in attendance before
calling upon Marika Hayden to
perform the Welcome to Country.
Councillor Flockart thanked Marika
for her touching Welcome to
Country, and introduced the Chair of
CEACA, Tuck Waldron, to the
podium.
Mr Waldron spoke on behalf of
CEACA CEO Nicholas Hopkin, who
was unable to attend the ceremony
and acknowledged the success of the
project and the quality of the unit
development. He then welcomed the
Minister for Regional Development,
Hon Alannah MacTiernan MLC who
gave a speech and performed the
cutting of the ribbon. Honoured
guests, residents, and elected
members gathered in front of the
CEACA unit for a group photo
before being invited inside for
afternoon tea.
The Merredin CEACA units were
completed in 2019 as part of the
CEACA Senior Housing Project
which has seen the construction of
71 independent living units over 11
Wheatbelt Shires. The Merredin
units are located at the old North
Merredin Primary School precinct
adjacent to the Merredin Regional
Library.
The completion of this high-quality
housing project will assist in
enabling many of our towns ageing
community members to remain in
close proximity to local connections,
services and support.

Cancer Council WA is urging the
Wheatbelt community to support
the Daffodil Day Appeal this
August by making an online
donation to help fund life-saving
cancer research.
Cancer Council WA Wheatbelt
Regional Education Officer ,
Melissa Pickering said that while
many of us have had our lives put
on hold due to COVID-19, cancer
doesn’t rest, so Cancer Council
WA’s vital work in cancer research
must continue.
“Daffodil Day has traditionally been
Cancer Council’s biggest
fundraising event, however this year
we are asking the Wheatbelt
community to please consider
jumping online and making a
donation to the Daffodil Day
Appeal,” Ms Pickering said.
“Money raised by West Aussies
will provide more than hope to
people affected by cancer; it will
fund vital cancer research that is
saving lives every day.”
Ms Pickering said that despite
advances made in research and
improving survival rates for many
cancers, every four minutes another
Australian is diagnosed with cancer.
“Every day 33 Western Australians
Daffodil Day goes virtual due
to COVID-19
hear the words ‘you have cancer’,”
she said.
“Unfortunately less funding will be
available for research due to the
current climate, so it’s more
important than ever to ensure we
support the work of our
researchers.”
Daffodil Day celebrates 34 years of
turning Australia yellow in 2020,
with Cancer Council aiming to raise
$2 million for cancer research
through online donations.
Cancer Council and its research
partners direct almost $60 million
annually to research grants for vital
research projects across Australia,
making the organisation the largest
not-for-profit funder of cancer
research in Australia.
Thanks to investment in research
over many years, significant
advancements have been made in
cancer prevention, screening and
treatment - helping to increase
survival rates from 49 per cent in
the 1980s to 69 per cent today.
You can support the Daffodil Day
Appeal by donating online before or
on Friday 28 August.

Police Report
By Acting Sergeant TYLER
WINTER
Police have recently attended a
number of motor vehicle crashes,
most have resulted in injuries
requiring hospitalisation. A family
travelling near Mukinbudin towing a
caravan rolled over, a motorcyclist
crashed near Westonia and a vehicle
crashed at the Narembeen turn off in
Merredin. It is a timely reminder that
all road users take extra care at this
time of the year and drive to the
conditions. Numerous roads have
been affected by the rain and we
have had heavy fog that reduces
visibility.
Our St John Ambulance and Fire &
Rescue Volunteers continue to assist
Police in dealing with these
emergencies and we strongly urge
motorists to take extra care. If you
are approaching any scene where
Police, Ambulance, Fire or Recovery
vehicles have their beacons activated,
drivers must Slow Down to 40km/hr
and obey all directions given by
Emergency Services.
If you are travelling, please take
regular breaks and do not drive tired.

By NEVILLE MIDDLETON
I joined the Volunteer Fire & Rescue
Service in January 1985. I remember
my first meeting in the old Fire
Station. One big table and benches
around the edge of the room and
being asked to be at the Running
Track for training. I thought “what is
the running track”?
My intro to firefighter training was a
week long course at the Belmont
Training Wing.
When I joined we had the Bedford
1960s model fire truck, then the
Mazda to the HSR. Our first Light
Tanker and taking on the Road Crash
Rescue role was during the 80’s. The
new communication system which
meant we could talk to comms from
out at the incident especially when
dangerous goods were involved.
I held the positions of Brigade
Secretary, Senior Coach and Junior
Coach for many years and was made
a life member in July 1999.
I remember a couple of funny
incidents. First, being called to a
Dry Cyanide tablet spill out at
Carrabin, heading out in the Bedford
on a cold evening with everyone
concerned for our safety. We fought
hard to get gas suits on at the station
due to lots of dangerous stuff being
transported through town. It turned
out to be onions all over the
highway. Secondly, a fire one
evening at an old railway house on
Allbeury Street. Leading up to this
incident, the Shire had contracted a
company to put down sealed paths
around town, which included paths
in Allbeury Street, where they had
sealed over the hydrants. So while a
crew were digging up the path, a
long line of hoses were laid out from
a hydrant in the next block and
around the corner, which enabled us
to save the house, only to find out it
was scheduled for demolition by
Westrail.
One of the most memorable and
talked about incidents was the Hines
Hill Rail disaster in 1996. From
memory, we spent about 18 hours
out at the incident.

Seven members of the Merredin
Volunteer Fire & Rescue Service
were recognised with awards
presented by DFES Assistant
Commissioner Paul Ryan and Area
Officer Jeremy Willis at their

Neville Middleton was presented
with his 35-year service award. In
addition to his 35 years of active
firefighter service and participation
in the sporting side (known as
“running”), he has served as both
brigade Secretary and Junior running
coach for over 20 years each.
Skye King was presented with her 15
-year service award. Skye is a
committed firefighter, attending
nearly every fire call, and has also
served as Apparatus Officer, Senior
running coach and Social Secretary.
Judy Briggs, Mark Briggs, Sheree
Lowe and Tarlisha O’Donnell-
Thomas also received their 5 year
service awards.
Phil Van Der Merwe, brigade
Captain and owner of Merredin
Glazing Service, was also presented
with a DFES Volunteer Employer
Recognition Gold Award. Nominated
by DFES Station Officer Aaron
Cuthbert, these awards recognise
employers of emergency services

role these employers play in
protecting the community.

a volunteer basis, and around their
paid employment. On one occasion
earlier this year, members attended a

where an LPG tanker had collided
with a fence, and the Mason's
Shopping Centre fire in Bruce Rock,
all in the same day - while also
working a full day for their
employers.
Members were also deployed to
One of the highlights for me in my
35 years has always been the
running, great for team building and
a good social outlet away from the
seriousness of duties, and for me, it
has always been a great way to meet
members from around the state when
we all come together for the State
Open and State Championships at
Fremantle every year.
Leading up to the State
Championships, Merredin also held a
dry work competition with Southern
Cross every year, which was
sponsored by life member Herb
Smith.
The Junior Competition was the
pinnacle of my enjoyment, seeing
young kids developing their skills
and teamwork which they have taken
into their adult life. All three of my
sons and my two step daughters
competed in this competition.
One of the biggest fears for any
volunteer or career emergency
person is to attend a fatality
involving one of their own family.
The night of my son Wayne’s
accident is etched in my memory
forever. I relive this memory often, it
was a turning point for me as I have
found it hard to attend incidents
since that night.
Being involved in the Fire and
Rescue as a volunteer has given me a
lifetime of memories and stories.
Reflections of past 35 Years

The Dolls’ House
By SANDRA ROBARTSON
The dolls’ house was rescued from
destruction by Malcolm Robartson at
South Merredin Primary School.
Before the buildings were
demolished, teachers had been
instructed to bring the essentials only
to the new school because “two into
three quarters” was an
impossibility!!
The bulldozers had been busily
knocking down sheds/storage rooms
when Malcolm, school gardener at
that time, noticed the dolls’ house
through a gap in the shed wall, which
had been partially flattened by the
bobcat. Knowing how much the
children enjoyed playing with it, he
retrieved it and took it to the Men’s
Shed for restoration. That was
nearly ten years ago!
One of our members, a modelling
enthusiast, Campbell Lawson, asked
if he could use his skills to assist
Malcolm in the restoration project.
It was reinstalled in the Pre-primary
classroom at Merredin College at the
beginning of June 2020.
Malcolm and Campbell presented the
expertly restored mansion to the
Principal, pre-primary staff and
students.
They were delighted to have it
returned.

Local Member Mia Davies MLA is
encouraging young people aged
between 16 and 22 years living in
the Wheatbelt to enter the latest
round of the ABC’s Heywire
competition.
She said the competition was an
important platform for young
people giving them an opportunity
to share the challenges and
opportunities they experience
living and working in a regional or
remote part of the State.
“Heywire is an opportunity for
regional youth to express their
thoughts and opinions about issues
that matter to them,” she said.
“It puts a spotlight on the thoughts
and opinions of our young people
by bringing them to a national
forum.
“If you are selected to tell your
story you then get to work with the
ABC to professionally produce
your story.
“It’s a fantastic learning experience
and if you have an issue you’d like
to raise, highlight or build
momentum for then this is one
Davies encourages local entries
into ABC’s Heywire
avenue to explore.”
The Heywire competition has been
running since 1998 and aims to give
a voice to young people and the
issues that impact them.
Each year, every ABC regional
station selects a winning Heywire
Competition entry to represent their
part of Australia.
The winner gets to work with ABC
staff to professionally produce their
story either through audio, text,
photo or video. The story is then
featured on ABC Radio or the ABC
website.
“Our youth are our future and it’s
important to make space for their
opinions and concerns,” Ms Davies
said.
Previous winners from the region
include Kassidy Fuller (Bullfinch)
Ebony Thompson (Karlgarin),
Tiffany Davey (Konnongorring)

Leader of The Nationals WA and
Member for Central Wheatbelt Mia
Davies says a new Department of
Fire and Emergency Service’s
(DFES) code of conduct gagging
volunteers from communicating with
State and Federal Members of
Parliament must be ditched.
The mandatory code of conduct was
announced earlier this month by the
Emergency Services Commissioner
and requires all the State’s 26,000
emergency services volunteers to
sign up to it within four weeks.
Ms Davies said preventing
volunteers from communicating with
Members of Parliament was
undemocratic and may stop them
seeking support for equipment,
infrastructure or any other challenges
they may face.
“Preventing volunteers, who play a
vital role in Wheatbelt communities,
from engaging with Parliamentarians
will be detrimental for their
organisations and individuals,” she
said.
Volunteer gag order on
Central Wheatbelt volunteers
unacceptable
“Blocking their communication
channel to raising issues impacting
them or their brigade, group or unit
essentially renders them voiceless in
State and Federal Parliament.
“That could have negative
consequences in the communities
they serve, because one of their key
pathways for raising concerns has
been blocked.”
There are dozens of emergency
service groups, brigades and units in
Central Wheatbelt whose members
regularly put their own safety on the
line to protect others in the
community.
Ms Davies said the code of conduct
was a severe overstep and needed to
be addressed.
“Quite rightly many in the volunteer
community are boiling mad about
this and I don’t blame them for
feeling the way they do,” she said.
“The Nationals WA have been vocal
on behalf of volunteers and the need
for the Premier to step in and
intervene with this draconian code.”
Students at St Mary’s School are
excited to return to school for fun
and learning in Term Three. Staff

their school holidays and are looking
forward to the new challenges and
tasks presented to them throughout

Sir John Teasdale
Remembering Sir John Teasdale
By SAM TEASDALE
Sir John Teasdale initially came to
Western Australia, from
Cumberland, with his brothers in
1911 where he and a number of his
brothers settled to farm in the Bruce
Rock area.
Among his first interests was the
Farmers’ and Settlers’ Association,
which was founded in 1911. It has
had many name changes over the
years, such as the Farmers’ Union
and Primary Producers Association,
it is now known as the Western
Australian Farmers Federation. In
1916, Sir John was elected to the
executive committee and in 1922, he
became President.
He was a loyal member of the Belka
Co-op, and his personal attributes of
good judgement, willingness to take
responsibility and astuteness made
him a prominent person in the
movement.
He was involved in the formation of
the Wheat Pool in 1922 and became
Chairman in 1938. Sir John attended
the Wheat Pool at the first
International Pool Conference in St
Paul, USA.
A serious problem in the 20’s was
the loss of wheat between the port of
loading and its destination. Sir John
travelled overseas in 1924, 1925 and

Nobody goes into a marriage
thinking that it will end in
separation or divorce, however
many blokes find that when their
marriages do end, that separation
and divorce are among the toughest
experiences they will ever have to
face. Blokes go through a range of
intense emotions during this time,
including loneliness and sadness;
shock, hurt and bewilderment;
anger and frustration and
sometimes relief that differences
are finally out in the open. These
responses to distress are all
perfectly normal. Thankfully, most
blokes can face these challenges
and go on living fulfilling and
happy lives, keeping in mind of
course that this does take time.
Separation is complex and can
involve feelings around the loss
of:
your partner
family structure and routines
involvement or reduced contact
with children
family home
friends and social life
meaning and identity
Separation, A Time Of Change
These losses are particularly
difficult to come to terms with if:
you didn’t want the separation in
the first place
the separation is sudden or
unexpected
you’re still hanging on to hope that
it will all go back to how it was
you feel betrayed by your former
partner
you lack a support network or are
ostracised by your friends or others
in the community
you have reduced or limited time
with your children.
The cumulative situational distress
that separation contributes to, may
test your strength and capacity to
look after yourself properly. It may
stir up memories and feelings you
thought you’d put behind you. You
might grieve the life you previously
had. Therefore it is important to
acknowledge that grieving is
personal - we all do it differently.
Some blokes may find comfort in
focusing on activities like sport and
hobbies, work, or planning a path
forward. It’s not a one size fits all
scenario so, it’s important to find out
what helps you.
There is a temptation at this time to
cut yourself off from others. Your
circle of friends and family
networks may change now that you
have separated. Even if you’ve
maintained contact, you may be
reluctant to lean on them for
support. However, withdrawing
socially will limit the number of
people you can talk to and won’t
help you to overcome the grief and
loss of separation. Social isolation
may increase the risk of
depression, reliance on drugs and
alcohol, and even suicide.
If you have ongoing negative
thoughts or find it difficult to cope
with your circumstances, it’s
important to seek help as soon as
possible. Us blokes need to
remember that when feeling
overwhelmed or down, it is quite
often the result of unresolved
ongoing situational distress, and a
chat to someone is always helpful.
A GP or another health
professional will be able to help to
decide whether any treatment is
needed and what may be suitable.
There are many other men who’ve
had similar experiences and they
do get through it.
Reach out to those you trust, and
remember …before it all gets too
much…Talk to a Mate!!®.
1928, in an effort to find a solution
to this. As a result, a separate
outturn superintending company was
formed, CBH. Sir John was then
chosen as one of the Directors and
ten years later was appointed
Chairmanship.
When the Australian Wheat Board
was formed in 1939, he became a
member and in 1950 became
Chairman, a position he held until
his death in 1962.
In 1948, Sir John travelled to
Washington as a representative of
Australia, to attend a conference,
which led to the first post-war
International Wheat Agreement.
Other items of note include in 1947
Sir John became Chairman of the
Royal Commission on Wheat
Marketing in Western Australia and
in 1948 he was on the New Year’s
Honours List and was appointed
Commander of the Order of the
British Empire. In 1951 he was
Knighted (Bachelor).
In July 1962, Sir John Teasdale, one
and among the greatest West
Australian pioneers of co-operation,
of farming and of farmer
organisation, died.
His passion for farming and years of
hard work will remain with the
Wheatbelt farming community.

How do astronomers locate things in
the sky? Just as it is done on earth,
so it is done in heaven, using a
system of ‘latitude and longitude’.
The sky is considered to be a hollow
globe with earth at its centre and the
stars and planets are points on the
inside surface of it. This ‘sky globe’
will have two points that are always
overhead at the north and south
poles, called the ‘celestial poles’, and
a circle that will always be overhead
at the equator, called the ‘celestial
equator’. The equivalent of latitude
is called declination, and is measured
in degrees North or South of the
celestial equator. Thus the sun will
have a declination of plus 23.5
degrees on the June solstice and
minus 23.5 degrees on the December
solstice. But how can we measure
celestial longitude, since the line in
the sky above the meridion of
Greenwich will rotate away from it
at the rate of fifteen degrees per hour
and be on the opposite side of the
world 12 hours later? Astronomers
have chosen a line that passes from
the North celestial pole to the South
celestial pole passing through the
Vernal equinox (the point at which
the sun passes from the southern
hemisphere to the northern
hemisphere in March) to be the
celestial baseline, the equivalent of
‘zero degrees celestial longitude’.
This point is currently in the
constellation of Pisces but 2000
years ago when this system was
invented it was in Aries. This is why
it is still called the ‘First point of
Aries’ and also explains why the
horoscope list usually begins with
the ram.
We have discussed before how the
precession of the equinoxes will
cause this point too slowly but
steadily move backwards over the
decades. Astronomers must
therefore specify which date they are
using to specify this equinox point if
their measurements are to be
accurate. They call this the ‘epoch’.
The epoch currently used is the 1st
of January 2000 on the Julian
calendar, usually abbreviated to
J2000. This system of celestial
longitude is called ‘Right
Ascension’. It is called ‘right’
because each line is at right angles to
the celestial equator and not to the
earth’s equator, in which case it
would be ‘oblique’ from our point of
view. ‘Ascension’ refers to the point
on the equator that rises at the same
moment as a star.
Unlike geographical longitude which
is measured in degrees East or West
of Greenwich Right Ascension is
always measured in hours minutes
and seconds after ‘the First point of
Aries’.
These two celestial co-ordinates
declination and Right Ascension are
usually abbreviated to dec. and R.A.
They seem complicated but they are
worth learning because they are
designed to make the calculations
necessary to point a telescope at any
celestial object as simply as possible.
Remember one hour equals fifteen
degrees. Thus in order to specify
exactly any point in the sky, one
needs only mention its declination,
its R.A., and the current Greenwich
mean time. Next fortnight we will
consider how to use these tools to
significantly enhance your stargazing
experience and perhaps even join the
many amateur astronomers who have
comets and supernovae named after
them. Until then keep looking up!

At first glance, you might wonder how a viral
disease can change seismic activity worldwide, but
a new study in the Science journal has shown how
the lockdowns across the world have caused a
major reduction in seismic activity that is
generated by human activity.
Seismic activity is caused by a range of sources,
not just earthquakes, volcanoes and landslides.
Human sources such as explosions and mining
generate impulsive seismic activity, but also
everyday human activities such as road traffic,
trains, industrial activity, and even large sport
events cause a near continuous signal that is
detected by seismometers.
The study found that the seismic noise generated
by everyday human activity dropped by an average
of 50% in 77 countries between March and May
2020, and this was observed not just in urban areas,
but also in remote areas and very deep boreholes.
By using datasets from across the world, the
researchers were able to visualise the “seismic
lockdown wave” moving through China at the end
of January, to Italy in March, and then to the rest of
the world.
The reduction in seismic activity was
cross-checked against publically available mobile
phone data from Apple and Google, and this strong
Science Section
COVID-19 results in reduced seismic
activity across the world
match clearly showed the change in the amount of
human activity and movement.
Although the number of naturally occurring
earthquakes has not decreased in 2020, this
seismic quiet period is the longest and most
prominent world reduction in anthropogenic
seismic noise on record.
The lockdowns caused by coronavirus is giving
the researchers the opportunity to gather data to
help differentiate between human and natural
causes of seismic noise, and to monitor the effect
of different human activities. It also allows the
researchers to listen to the Earth’s natural
vibrations without the concealing noise of human
activities.
This study shows that even everyday human
activities have a major impact on the natural
world, including the very Earth itself.

22 THE PHOENIX Friday, July 31st, 2020
ARIES 21st March—19 April
You are currently in a dynamic period which
is full of enthusiasm and a sense of
adventure. Some challenges lie ahead, but
you are ready and able to tackle them, freeing
you to pursue your own interests.
TAURUS 20th April—20th May
Past disappointments in relationships and
also financial matters will soon be resolved.
Keep working towards your goal. There will
be an exciting feeling of new beginnings with
career and money-earning possibilities.
GEMINI 21st May—20th June
You will soon be emerging from the stormy
situations you have been dealing with. There
could be some intense interactions with
partners, who may be struggling and are
looking for your understanding.
CANCER 21st June—22nd July
There may be some feelings of stress in your
professional life which will bring closure to a
sharp disagreement with a pushy person.
Basically though, this is a period of growing,
enjoyment and pleasure. Enjoy!
LEO 23rd July—22nd August
You are entering an expansive time, when
you can realise your agenda and expand your
horizons. It is a great time to travel with the
family or with an enterprising friend, life can
be full of adventure and learning.
VIRGO 23rd August—22nd September
Issues that you have been dealing with come
full circle now, leading to a sharp resolution.
Don’t be put off if other people adopt an
extreme viewpoint, just be understanding in
your shared communications.
LIBRA 23rd September—22nd October
Choices may have been difficult lately, and it
could be that you need to accept that there are
some things you cannot control. Worrying
doesn’t take away tomorrow’s troubles, it
takes away today’s peace. When you
surrender, things go a lot more smoothly.
SCORPIO 23rd October—21st November
When it comes to beliefs and principles,
some people cannot be argued with. For you
though, there are growing opportunities when
you pursue your own agenda and battle for
what needs to be done.
SAGITTARIUS 22nd Nov—21st December
There is quite a lot of pressure in your life,
but as things turn full circle issues are put to
bed. You can expect interaction with people
on an emotional level to be particularly
intense, it is a good idea to avoid conflicts.
CAPRICORN 22nd Dec—19th January
Whilst you see conflicts around you, it is
important to provide a steady hand and settle
disagreements. A family feud can be
resolved, at least so people agree to disagree,
be as flexible as you can.
AQUARIUS 20th January—18th February
A stressful communication is resolved, be
open to suggestions and ideas at this time.
This is a good time to practice the science of
mindfulness, as there is an open window for a
deep transformation.
PISCES 19th February—20th March
Family issues that have caused considerable
unrest may culminate. The wise Pisces
appreciates the fact that people think
differently, and that that is OK. It’s time to
adopt a tolerant stance.
