I recently read that in Australia, it’s estimated that 45 per cent of people will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime.

Mental Health Week is coming up this October 7 - 13, get in touch with either BOICO or Hope Community Services to find out what’s on this year. I’ve been told there will be free yoga sessions as well as other great activities bringing the community together to educate and bring awareness of mental health.

Attracting about 10,000 visitors to the two-day event, the Agricultural Show provides a wide exposure for commercial exhibitors. Chuck on some sunscreen, get down there early and make the most of it.

Here’s what’s happening…. (next page)

Entertainment

Shearing

Get ready for some whip-cracking action as Walter Whip will be headlining the entertainment this year. Walter has earned quite the reputation for exciting live shows across Australia. He will be performing throughout the weekend so keep those eyes peeled.

Blade shearing is making a comeback, and if your not sure what that is, you’ll just have to wait an see. Esperance Spinners will be spinning the wool and turning it into a cozy knit jumper which you can bid for in an auction at 4pm on the Saturday. Bidding starts at $130 and all the proceeds go to NSW Farmers Drought Fund.

Fireworks Our absolute favourite event is back again, the annual fireworks spectacular which starts 8pm on the Friday evening. Organisers have asked to remind all that all alcohol shall be left at home! In fact, all drinks must be left at home as a precaution, except for anything medically required.

A bit of me-time Mums, don’t worry, we have not forgotten about you. Whilst those sugar-filled buggers are doing our absolute heads in with more energy than a crate of Redbull, you can now relax with a express signature facial at B Naturally You’s stall in the main pavilion. I know where I’ll be.

If your legs are feeling wobbly cos it’s the first time you’ve spent two hours walking in a long, long time, jump on the free Clydesdale and buggy rides and explore the unknown. You may end up down at the hockey field trade section, which, this year, is going to be full to the brim.

Tractors everywhere.

Activities for the kids

The classics

MERVE GUID E

Spring has sprung. Long, lazy days of lying on the beach are just around the corner. I can’t wait to sip on a Chardonnay, watch my mates fall off their surfboards, and only get up to reapply the kids’ sunscreen and tell Lil’ Tommy to stop eating sand. I can’t wait to check out that fish Dazza just caught. On’ya Dazza! We’ll be around for fish on the BBQ tonight.

FLOWERS

But before we get ahead of ourselves, we must remember spring is famous for jardinería (that’s Spanish for gardening). I mean, everything is growing. Look out the backyard, the grass is probably so high that small children could get lost in it.

Now that you think of it, you haven’t seen the dog in a while. Before you don the gardening gloves and straw hat, here’s a few tips on how to keep your garden looking tip top.

Unless you’ve just built a brand new house, chances are you’ve already got geraniums growing in the front yard. Where do they come from? No one really knows. They’re probably planted by squads of ninja grannies operating under the cover of darkness.

Does your house look like an abandoned meth lab? You could renovate, paint, and redecorate, or just plant some flowers!

Here are some that you can try. Otherwise, just plant whatever Costa from Gardening Australia recommends. The man is a genius, even if he does look like a giant garden gnome that has come to life.

GERANIUMS

BOUGAINVILLAEA I’m fairly certain that one-day bougainvillaea will take over the world. It’s inevitable. It won’t even be a sad day when we succumb to our bougainvillaea overlords, because it’s such a beautiful plant. Just don’t plant it too close to the front door, or it will seal you inside the house and you’ll never get out.

ME RV E G UID E

SUCCULENTS

KALE

Succulents are all the rage now, taking over from the ‘colourful grasses’ trend of a few years back.

They’re like magic! Just pinch a piece of a succulent from someone else’s garden, and put it in the ground. In a few weeks, the succulent will have moved into your house, done all your dusting, and sorted out your taxes.

What a plant! Kale is a must-have veggie in every garden, for two reasons. Firstly, you can make kale chips (yum!). Secondly, you can give everyone that comes to your house a big bunch of kale. If someone you don’t like suggests a visit, just tell them you have plenty of kale to give them. You might find that they suddenly have other plans.

VEGGIES

RADISHES

What Australian backyard is complete without a veggie garden? Homegrown tomatoes, zucchinis as thick as your thigh, and enough pumpkins to supply the entire neighbourhood, if only they weren’t all growing pumpkins too. It’s the Aussie dream.

Sure. Plant radishes, why not? They grow like Jack’s beanstalk. You’ll have about 756 of them ready to eat in two days, and if you wait until the third day, they’ll be too big and misshapen to eat. But they’re fun to laugh at. Yes, that one does look like Uncle Bob’s nose!

TOMATOES

STRAWBERRIES

TIDE / A U G U ST

Now you’re talking! Herbs are easy to grow and are so useful. Of course, you’re going to need a lot of mint, as it’s coming into Mojito season. You’ll need rosemary for your roast lamb, lemongrass for that tasty Thai dish, and oregano and thyme just to pretend that you’re fancy in the kitchen.

ESPER A N CE

It’s backbreaking work, and you’ll end up with enough potatoes for one bowl of potato salad, but at least the kids will know where potatoes come from. They won’t care, but at least they’ll know.

HERBS

/

POTATOES

Yes, plant strawberries. Your kids, partner, and neighbours, as well as some blue tongue lizards, your pet dog, flocks of birds, and that rabbit that turned up mysteriously in the backyard yesterday, will absolutely love it. You might get to eat one or two if you’re lucky.

7

Plant as many as possible. A homegrown tomato tastes like freshly picked sunshine. You’ll end up with hundreds of tomatoes covering every surface in your house, and then you’ll forever dream of tomatoes. You’ll give them to Aunt Maude, and she’ll give back jars of homemade chutney, which you’ll feel guilty about leaving to go mouldy in the fridge.

201 8

Follow these handy tips, and your house will be the envy of the neighbours. You’ll delight at dinner parties, and people will run from you in the streets to avoid being given more of your abundant produce. And what’s more, you’ll always have mint for your Mojitos.

WORDS BY JEAN-MARIE VAN SCHALKWYK This rapid growth brought farmers, investors and tourists to Esperance, and with them came the need for additional housing, a new school, new roads, new harbour and a grain terminal.

There was just one problem. Freight costs for transporting fertiliser to Esperance were extremely high. The solution: a local manufacturing plant.

Chemical building extension – July 1973, Esperance

To discover the story of Esperance take a closer look at the soils, where the rich history of this once sleepy town lies hidden.

It all began with the discovery of gold in Coolgardie and the Murchison in the late 1800s.

The development of the port soon followed, with Esperance declared a township in December 1893.

In 1962, an agreement between Albany Superphosphate Company, Cuming Smith & Mount Lyell Farmers Fertilisers Limited, Cresco Fertilisers and the State Government gave the green light for the construction of the Esperance Fertiliser works.

Small farming operations emerged, but the development of agriculture in the region was hindered by unproductive soils featuring low levels of nitrogen and phosphorus, as well as being deficient in the trace elements – copper and zinc.

The race was on to solve the problem. Throughout the 1940s and 50s scientists from the Esperance Downs Research Station ran experiments with different fertiliser types, enriched with the necessary trace elements.

The site was selected, comprising the entire block south of Shelden Road and soon construction of the 150,000 square foot structures was underway. Most materials required were sourced from Esperance and greater Western Australia. In 1964, a full 12 months ahead of schedule, the Esperance Fertiliser Works, now CSBP, was open for business.

The company employed over 50 permanent staff and more than 70 employees during the peak fertiliser season, bringing valuable jobs to the region.

Production soared to 180,000 tonnes at its peak in 1975. Such was the demand that the plant was in full production for 11 months of the year. But the bushland encompassing the site perfectly muffled the noise and dust of the rock crushing, leaving most locals unaware of the constant hustle and bustle.

The ideal fertiliser mix was developed, finally providing the means to sufficiently improve the soils for cropping and grazing livestock.

Fuelled by this breakthrough, farming activity flourished. The number of farms increased from 40 in 1951 to 600 by the end of 1963. At the same time, the area under pasture increased from 8,500 acres to 328,000, and the acres under crops jumped from 9,000 to 75,000. Livestock numbers also increased dramatically. The number of sheep rose from 19,000 to 347,000 and cattle from 450 to 70,700.

5 Star Safety Awards – Esperance Works 1989

Over the years, advances in technology and manufacturing saw many changes to the way things worked on site. Dawn adds, “When I first started, we wrote letters using a typewriter and triplicate paper. On Thursday afternoons, the siren went five minutes early so that everyone could line up to receive their weekly pay, cash in a small orange envelope.

Later everything became electronic.”

The manufacturing process was labour intensive. Up until the 1990s, fertiliser was transported in 87kg bags requiring bagging crews of six to seven men to fill, seal and load the bags onto trucks by hand. Brian White, with the company since 1989, clearly remembers the technique for man-handling the weighty bags for 8 hours a day.

“It was very different then; everything was done by hand. But there was a trick to handling the bags without hurting yourself.”

The maintenance and servicing of the plant and equipment were equally labour intensive. A full workshop, paint shop and chemist’s laboratory supported the efficient production and quality assurance of the fertilisers.

NEXT MONTH We’ll discover how the Esperance Works and CSBP have evolved to keep up with the changing face of agriculture and their continued role in the local community.

201 8

But it was not the end of the Esperance Works, or its support of the local farmers and the region, merely a new leg of CSBP’s journey.

The safety rating program, one of many progressive initiatives, was introduced to ensure everyone remained safe at work. “We were recognised for our achievements. They had the safety rating program in place, and there were generous rewards for achieving five stars,” says Dawn.

So began the transition of the Esperance Works from a manufacturing site to a distribution centre, which included a reduction in the workforce.

TIDE

Dawn Montgomerie, the secretary and customer service officer for over 23 years, says, “I loved working there, there was such a good culture, and we were always looked after. My boys still remember the Christmas tree and celebrations on site every year for staff and their families.”

Like many others, Ross was trained

by Rob Horan, the staff electrician, trainer and later workshop supervisor from 1976 and 2000. Rob fondly remembers his 24 years at the Esperance Works, especially the extremely high standards and demand

The commitment to the company and appreciation for the culture, training and opportunities is obvious when talking to staff, both past and present. Rob adds, “They were good to me, providing a great deal of training which really helped when I moved into other jobs.”

The production dropped dramatically, bagging of fertiliser made way for bulk handling and transportation, using earthmoving equipment.

Subsequently, the bagging crews were no longer required. The plant was decommissioned and demolished in 2002, with manufacturing moving to the Kwinana Works.

Ross Kennedy, still with the company today, took advantage of the apprenticeship program 33 years ago and qualified as an electrician.

for quality and consistency.

This diversity of duties created the perfect environment for an apprenticeship program. With up to eight apprenticeships at any given time, young locals had the opportunity to acquire valuable, and some very unique, trade qualifications – from electricians and fitters, to lead burners and acid plant operators.

The early 1990s brought more changes, a new era for the Esperance Works, as the fertiliser market collapsed.

4 hero ingredients to add to your summer skincare routine

1 0

PHOTO CREDIT: @ALEXANDRACAMERON_

Being that summer is right around the corner (yay), it is time for a warmweather shift in our daily skincare routines. Geared towards UVprotection and post-sun hydration, the new season requires a beauty arsenal loaded with restorative summer-ready ingredients.

Here is B Naturally You’s summer skincare ingredients checklist.

Vitamin B While we're well-versed in the glow-worthy benefits of vitamin C, vitamin B is another supercharged skin enhancer.

Whilst working as a natural barrier function, helping to repair and defend the skin against sun damage, vitamin B also promotes collagen production, smoothing lines and wrinkles to give the skin a supple, dewy and more youthful appearance.

SPF You heard! Our favourite summer ingredient, SPF which stands for Sun Protection Factor, measures the amount of UVB radiation transmitted to the skin after sunscreen has been applied, compared to the amount of UVB transmitted to the skin without sunscreen. UVA rays play a major part in photodamage and skin ageing whilst UVB rays are the chief cause of skin reddening and sunburn. Adding SPF is the essential last step in your skincare regimen. TBH, even in winter, you should be wearing a sunscreen daily.

11 / E SP E RA NCE

If you have any questions about any of the ingredients above, head to B Naturally You’s stall at the Esperance & Districts Agricultural Show where you can receive a free skin care check.

Find us at the Esperance Show and meet Melissa from Ultraceuticals!

The trick to applying sunscreen is to not stop, and as much as we try to remember, sometimes it’s just too easy to forget. You apply once and spend the rest of the day lazing around in the sun, take one look in the mirror an realise you're as red as a bloody tomato. It happens! Using DNA Recovery ingredients such as Vitamin E and berry extracts which will help soothe and repair your delicate skin, as well as hyaluronic acid, which aims to get your skin back into hydration mode.

A UG UST

Once the warm weather hits, you’ll see me spending a lot more time outdoors, exposing my skin to different environmental aggressors such as dirt, cigarette smoke and air pollution. The use of sunscreen alone doesn’t provide enough protection against these aggressors.

Introducing antioxidants into our regime can provide the protection from our environment that sunscreens can’t, reducing the effects of premature ageing. Not only does this ingredient come in a wide range of serums and creams it also comes in drink form.

9 bangin’ Board GameS to play with your mates WORDS BY DEMI BARKER

The weather in Esperance is just way too unpredictable. And when the rain hits (yay for harvest), what a great excuse to stay inside, light the fire, get out your long forgotten Snuggie and play some classic board games with the fam.

1. Monopoly This game has ruined friendships, caused arguments over who wanted to be the car and taught us all how to save for every railway property there was. If you want to kill about 3 hours, Monopoly is the game for you.

2. Snakes and Ladders The old faithful. I’m sure we all have childhood memories of Snakes and Ladders. Like, getting so close to the end, yet unfortunately, rolling a six and landing on that one really long snake, knocking you back at least 7 rows and costing you the game. Such a simple, yet well-loved game.

4. Connect 4 One of the biggest rivalry games, everyone had to stay on high alert when playing, as we couldn’t afford to let your opponents fourth colour in a row slip. Although half of us had no idea what we were doing, we just knew that it made a cool sound once the coin fell in.

5. Twister This game was the game you played if you wanted to prove to someone how talented you were, by deliberately choosing difficult spots to put your arms or legs. I would assume this game gets more difficult with age, though, I guess there is only one way to find out.

6. Pictionary Artists careers were sculpted from this game, and if you couldn’t draw, you were always the last one to be placed on a team.

Although, whip this bad boy out on a boring Saturday night now, and I guarantee it’ll score you hours of fun. Don’t let the memories of the past stop you from drawing the best cat you can.

7. Scra bble Scrabble was always frustrating to play as you were constantly getting stuck with the letters that hardly made up any words, like “x or z.” While your cousins, on the other hands seemed to always be blessed by the Scrabble gods, receiving countless numbers of vowels.

8. UNO The ultimate tantrum throwing card game, the friendship destroyer and the family feud maker. We all love it, we all hate it. We can all relate to that feeling you get when you think your safe and on the home stretch, yet you’re hit with another plus four. UNO is such an addictive game and everyone seems to have their own slightly different set of rules they use to get them out of trouble.

Want the recipe to the ultimate games night? One word… UNO.

9. Codenames Now, some of you may not even know this card game existed, but I assure you once you start, you can’t stop. This game is filled with spymasters, agents and assassins, everything from that inner 10-year-old’s dreams. I strongly recommend hunting the Codenames pack of cards from eBay, getting your most competitive friends together and giving it a crack!

10. Cards Against Humanity This is a slightly offensive, slightly crude card game, that appeals to those with a slightly twisted sense of humour. Once you start playing, you won’t know where those four hours of “party time” went, but I can assure you that you will enjoy every second of it.

THE BRIDGE Touring is an epic proposition for musicians. There are so many obstacles to getting out on the road. In a perfect world Comfort Inn, Ibis or one of these chain accommodation type setups would offer discounted rates for musicians, and big fuel companies would do the same.

Unfortunately, this reality isn’t just around the corner.

Musicians and artists will continue to head off into the great unknown with no strong support structure, and usually within the belly of a van that struggles to see one hundred kilometres. Supportive performance venues play a great role, if their able to offer up accommodation and dinner, they greatly negate the costs associated with touring. You never really know what you’re getting with venue managers, and they seem to change from week to week. Great relationships mean very little when someone new strolls into town, and all the work an act has put in developing positive relationships washes away. Regional networking is of the utmost importance, musicians supporting other musicians is essential and learning how to roll up a swag and sleep on one will see you reach the furthest corners of Australia.

I greatly enjoy facilitating regional tours, they add spark to the local scene, inspire local musicians and songwriters, and allow established local acts important opportunities in regards to networking and professional development. Club 75 Vol.4 is set to take place on Saturday, October 13 from 6pm at the Cannery Arts Centre. These nights, so far, have been epic and truly show what can be done when a flexible space can be manipulated to best suit the required atmosphere. We have a fantastic line-up of acoustic artists with Grace Sanders and Ruby May making their way from Perth joining well established local musicians Rachel Vibart and Bec Schutz. To add some zap to the evening we will be showing silent movies in the main gallery alongside the CAC Art Collection. Gozlemes will be available to purchase from 6pm. Tickets are limited and can be found at canneryartscentre.com.au.

Following this evening we have another fantastic event, a classic Sunday session on Sunday, October 14 from 3pm at The Esperance Bay Yacht Club.

I really love this venue, views across the bay are spectacular and the lawned space on the oceanside is fantastic for the kids to rock around on. Grace Sanders and Ruby May will perform again joined by yours truly. This is a free event with all proceeds from food sold on the day going towards supporting the junior sailing program.

Swamp Thing are far from newcomers to the Esperance live music scene. The dynamic New Zealand based, blues duo having performed multiple shows over the last five years.

The more I go downtown and bump into friends in the streets, the more I realise how much the Esperance community is becoming rapidly aware and concerned for the environment. How good! It’s so interesting to hear the changes local people and businesses have made in their everyday life, whether it is reusable straws (or ditching plastic ones), keep cups, stainless steel water bottles and those awesome little veggie bags you take along with your normal reusable bags to BJ’s Fruit and Veg.

Phil Hogan Optometrist Examining in Esperance Monday, 15 October - Thursday, 18 October

I haven’t gone cold turkey on absolutely everything. But in saying that, the amount I have changed has already made an impact on my home and the environment, not to mention the gentle effect it has on my weak skin. I’m more aware of the toxins throughout the house and it feels good. If your ears are now pricked and you want more info on how to get your hands on the oils or even your own starter kit (they cannot be purchased off the shelf) contact via email (coastaloilsesp@gmail.com) or via Instagram (@coastaloilsesp).

ESPER A N CE

Oils on their own is something I had originally been interested in. As you may have seen, they come in little glass bottles ready to be added to any DIY product, or a diffuser (which is included in the starter kit). If you haven’t tried diffusing, don’t knock it. If you need help to get to sleep, there’s an oil for that.

If you fed your husband a little too much chilli for dinner and need to ‘clean the air’, there’s an oil for that too. If your hormonal 16-year-old daughter is stressing you TF out, would you believe there’s an oil for that too. It’s pretty safe to say

My attention was drawn to Thieves. An oil blend of Clove, Lemon, Cinnamon, Eucalyptus and Rosemary, and as I’ve discovered is a must for cleaning. I’ve now made up my own dishwashing liquid, all-purpose spray, laundry liquid, hand wash, linen spray and toilet spray, all with thieves and mixed into other ingredients such as vinegar and baking soda.

All my DIY products are put into reusable amber glass bottles. Not only does my house now smell like I’m standing in the middle of the Azores in Portugal, but I am also saving hundreds of plastic bottles from going to landfill, chemicals from going down the guzzler, and money.

/

Being a huge enthusiast for reusable products, I had yet to focus on our environmentally friendly methods at home, other than recycling/food wastage. Big guns like Woolies have made it so easy for us to grab a $3bottle of bleach, which can only work on

After copious amounts of research and chats with the right people, I purchased a starter kit from Young Living. Young Living is an Essential Oil company that farms 100% pure, authentic oils. They have manufactured concentrated cleaning supplies, ready-to-use skin & hair products, body products, kid’s personal care, nutrition products, and even animal products, all infused with their own essential oils and are completely toxin-free.

there is an oil for every household situation.

What I would really love to know, is how many of us are aware of what they are using at home. I’m talking the chemicals, the synthetic fragrances, bleach, Phthalates etc.

It has been a huge wake-up call for me recently, as I have Dermatitis, which (for those who don’t know) is an inflammation in the skin that becomes a blister, ooze’s puss, develops a crust and so on. I had what felt like all the ‘dermatitis’ creams in the world, what I didn’t realise for some time was that the products I was using at home where the main reason why my dermatitis was inflamed in the first place.

non-porous surfaces, meaning the mould root is still able to grow back. The biggest problem with bleach is that is does nothing to remove the mould. Instead, it bleaches colour giving the illusion of a mould-free surface. Which means you are just masking it. Not only that, the toxic chemicals are going down our damn drains... need I say more?

Wanna surf?

Woke up early for that good hour or two before the kook crowd hits the waves. I am so keen to get out there, the Magicseaweed app says its 5/5 stars!

Pack the four-wheeler with the sickest new stick.

Designed the art myself, got the idea from just sitting there watching the sun go down sinking a can of tooheys extra dry, it was beautiful, man. Apparently, this model is the new big thing and with those sick new fins, I am going to be unstoppable out in the surf.

Going to do the biggest air! Well, I should be able to?

Get to the beach and it’s a full wash out. So, the decisions been made, I am going to have to blow some diesel smoke on that hooded plover nest in the sand dunes. Stuff it, I need to surf, It’s a 5-star rating.

Right, I am on the path to shredding just need to find a bank. That’s it I got it! Perfect straight handers.

Look out punt doors. Once I get out of the car, I notice there is plastic all over the beach. No time to pick it up I need to hit those punt doors and maybe get a tube or ten. Stupid plastic pollution. I might just take a quick snap and upload it to my Instagram account. My people are going to love this shot. Sucked in for sleeping in and it’s going to make my Insta page look even more like a self-subscribed magazine.

There I am just riding the sickest waves and just enjoying nature. It’s something special man. It’s the sweetest taste when you get all the waves.

The crew are starting to rock up, better give them my best stink eye and totally just blow up the next wave.

Speed, power and flow are the judging criteria. I reckon I’d have that Brazilian dude in a competition.

I’ve got this. Right up until I bog the turn, fall off and just obliterate my ego into a million pieces, having the self-realisation that surfing is for fun, leisure, wellness and a damn right endorphin booster of the purest kind.

Next thing this set comes charging in like white horses running down a hill. It hits me harder than my mother should have done. I resurface, coughing and spluttering, choking on a mouthful of plastic! The plastic is choking me. I vow to always pick up plastic on the beach from now on. Oh no, my board is broken too! Why did I get that pro light glass job?

Finally, I get to the beach and this hooded plover just nails me. Did you know they are poisonous? Worst pain ever! I think it’s time for a kombucha…

Surf report for the week looks like it’s 2 ½ stars for the week if you check your favourite app.

Reading this book was a reminder that sometimes we can overlook our local plants because we see them every day, everywhere. But viewed in a different setting and displayed in a modern format they are quite remarkable.

Spring is in the air and some of you suffer from the dreaded hay fever from all the flowering grasses and crops. Bees are buzzing and 4mm of rain for September sure is drying the ground out quickly.

OVER THE FENCE

The canola crops are at seed development, where the flowers are getting less and the pods are filling up with tiny seeds that start green and then during ripening, turn to black. The barley and wheat crops are at the Heading stage, this is where a head emerges from the stem and begins to flower and self-pollinate.

On a recent visit to Kings Park, I ventured into the book shop to stock up on some botanical reading. I bought a book called ‘NATIVE Art and Design With Australian Plants’ with the thought of getting a few landscaping ideas with greater horticultural dexterity and more of an adventurous use of our native plants. The book showcased some of our great Aussie landscape designers and their work. What was wonderful about the book, from my perspective, was that a number of the plants used in the designs were our Western Australian natives. Plants like Banksia blechnifolia, Calothamnus quadrifidus, Acacia glaucoptera, Adenathos sericeus (woolly bush), Leucophyta brownii (cushion bush), and Kennedia prostata (running postman), all used in these very creatively sculptured gardens. Some of our local trees featured are E pleurocarpa (blue mallee), E tetraptera (square fruited mallee), E preissiana (bell fruited mallee), and E sepulcralis. These species are a stand out in landscaping and would have been selected because of their unique shape and most have spectacular flowers and unusual foliage.
