WHAT'S HAPPENING IN & AROUND TOWN

FORTNIGHTLY

As you all may know this time of year is a bit hectic around town. We have more cars on the road (traffic jam parties on Dempster), businesses are flooded with foot traffic (so great to see) and the coastline is swarming with salty beach babes. So it is a great time to bring attention to an increasing issue - our waste.

This fortnight I would love to see more people getting pro-active by picking up rubbish they see around town and on our beautiful beaches. Go to page 5 for a list of easy to follow of tips on how to keep our town clean & reduce our waste. If you are around town on the 5th of Feb, why not lend a hand in the ‘Keep Esperance Beautiful day’ which starts at 9am at the car park next to the skate park. More info page 5!

Australia Day is jammed full of events, pages 10 & ll have you sorted with a list of everything that’s on.

Photography credit: georg hildner If are interested in participating in the Open Water Swim Thru make sure to register by the end of the day (Wednesday 25th). I highly recommend everyone head down to the Whale Tail to watch the finish line, there will be breakfast for those who get in early, catered by the amazing ‘Bread Local’ - I hear bacon & egg sangas are on the cards. In the evening head to the Fringe World Circus Spectacular for some solid entertainment for the whole family.

Taylor’s Beach Bar are hosting the Vol. 2 of ‘Beach Dazed’ on Saturday 28th, a live music event which starts at 2pm and continues on into the night finishing up at 10pm. The line-up includes local bands & DJ’s - more info page 8.

I hope everyone enjoy’s their Australia Day and the rest of the upcoming fortnight. Sunscreen is a must in the next couple of days, and so is a couple of fresh brews, prawn’s on the BBQ & the Triple J Hot 100 in the background.

MERIVALE RD TIPPING POINT A number of major concerns around the suitability of the Shire’s proposed replacement tip site fronting Merivale Rd and adjacent to Stonehenge have been expressed by the Merivale Tip Action Group (MTAG). Pressure is on the Esperance Shire Council to replace the Wylie Bay Waste Facility by August 2019 when the current licence expires.

Local hydrology experts believe both surface and ground water issues make this site completely unsuitable. Water runoff drains into natural springs used by neighbouring farmers for stock and water courses that eventually find their way into nearby wetlands listed in the RAMSAR international treaty to protect migratory birds.

The site selection criterion completely omits a fundamental consideration to the existing and future land use around the proposed tip site – tourism. Stonehenge is adjacent to the proposed site. Future tourist development in the Cape Le Grande gateway stands to be thwarted not to mention land value to some of Esperance’s prime rural and lifestyle real estate by the operations and stigma of a landfill.

The Shire’s Consultants, Talis, offer a rubbish tip facility operating in best practise with no smell, visual, noise, litter or ground water impact which takes some believing given experiences recounted from neighbouring residences to similar facilities. Current world’s best practise requires incineration of non-recyclable waste.

Establishing a waste facility using superseded technology and expecting it to last the planned 50-100 years is not a lasting solution.

We have experienced significant weather and fire events in recent years that would challenge if not entirely compromise the outdated technology proposed that could result in irreversible environmental consequences impacting farming, tourism and above all our pristine and most valued asset, our environment.

The Shire Council faces an unenviable task as no-one wants to have landfill in their backyard for all the obvious reasons, least of all in an area where the risks outweigh any short term benefits. This decision will go a long way to defining who we are and what we stand for and value at a local, state, national and international level. There are alternatives available; will an end date for the Wylie Bay site force a regrettable decision?

Revegetate, Rehabilitate, Rejuvinate

Create a coastal biodiverse, ecological ecosystem in your backyard by using local native plants that are already in your landscape. Plants growing in coastal areas perform important functions - contribute to the nutrient cycle of the system, anchor the soil and act as a buffer against wind and water erosion, provide habitat for native fauna, and protect vegetation inland by trapping sand, wind and salt.

We are the biodiverse hot spot of the south east of Western Australia with a large range of unique species that are resilient to the harsh conditions of our exposed coastal position.

These plants require no fertiliser, are drought tolerant, fast growing and look great!!

The classics are: • Lepidosperma gladiatum (Coastal sword sedge) • Carpobrotus viescens (Pigface) • Rhagodia baccatta (Berry saltbush) • Olearia axillaris (Coastal daisy) • Atriplex istidea (Coastal saltbush) • Leucophyta brownii (Cushion Bush) • Ficinia nodosa (Knobby club rush) • Pamela ferruginaea • Scaevola crassifolia (Fanflower) • Templetonia Retusa (Cockies tongue) • Westringia damper (Coastal rosemary) Check out Southcoast Natural Resource Management for free native seedlings for your Revegetation project.

Keep updated on all things bush by following @esperancefarmtrees on Instagram or go to www.esperancefarmtrees.com.au to place an order for native plants available in Esperance.

TOP TEN TIPS

HOW TO KEEP OUR TOWN BEAUTIFUL & CLEAN 1. Find great alternatives to using plastic There are always alternatives! For example the Bee Green Wraps are an affordable alternative to plastic cling film and plastic zip-lock bags, that can be purchased from Naturally Esperance - and they look great in the fridge!

2. Purchase reusable bottles & coffee cups Bottled water produces 1.5 billion tons of plastic waste each year. By simply refilling your bottle, you can reduce this figure significantly… but only if we all do it.

3. Say no to straws.

Straws provide a purpose for a very short time and are then discarded. Is that little bit of ease when drinking really worth it?

4. Purchase reusable grocery bags & leave them in the car for when you go shopping About 1 million plastic bags are used every minute, and a single plastic bag can take 1,000 years to degrade.

The Great Ocean Drive meanders past some of the most incredible beaches in Australia; West Beach, Twilight and 10 Mile Lagoon to name just a few. The perfect picture postcard blue waters vs white sand are a sight for sore eyes and one that last long into the dusky sunsets that regularly appear during night fall. When your feet hit the warm soft sand and plunge deep into the crystal waters, its difficult to imagine or feel anything but complete relaxation.

But. At closer inspection, those whitest of white sands and sapphire blue waters are slightly tainted, by ‘us’ and from afar. The litter, that lines these shores may not jump out and slap you in the face, however it is there. I sat at Fourth Beach one afternoon and within 10 minutes of looking, I had found pieces of plastic, fishing wire, polystyrene, straws and general rubbish. (some in the picture shown below) Now some of this was indirectly put there; the high tides and strong currents would have brought this in from foreign countries I’m sure. However the cans, cigarette ends and fast food wrappers put there bus ‘us’ are directly and deliberately destroying the natural beauty. Take it home with you, you took it there and it doesn’t belong.

Generally the Shire of Esperance is beautifully kept, clean and tidy. If we all spent two minutes of out of day to pick up some rubbish that we see, it would help us and the ecosystem immensely.

By Anonymous

5. Get the kids involved Next trip to the beach, encourage the kids to help clean up the rubbish you may see that people have left behind. It creates a healthy habit from the get go 6. Buy food in bulk Whole food shops in particular even sell certain products in bulk bins, without all the unnecessary packaging. Re-use old jars & containers if you want to separate bulky items!

7. Preplan for parties & events If your having a large party/event with lots of drinks flowing, there is likely going to be a lot of glass bottles and plastic cups (unfortunately). Separate all the plastic & glass whilst cleaning so when you get to the tip you can sort them into the right areas for recycling.

8. Use matches instead of lighters Lighters sit in landfills for years and even end up in birds’ stomachs.

9. Give up chewing gum Gum is literally made from synthetic rubber.

That’s not something you should be chewing on, anyway.

10. Never walk away from a piece of rubbish It shouldn’t matter if it’s not yours. Pick it up and help keep our beautiful town clean!

GOT SOMETHING TO SAY? Send us your thoughts on anything at all & we will publish it in the next issue! go to www.esperancetide.com/chappyspoint

5th of February, 2017 Meet at the new skatepark car park at 9am.

There will be vegan goodies and refreshing drinks for everybody that brings back their full rubbish bags!

There is also a ‘Clean up Esperance’ day on the 5th of March (which is the official Clean Up Australia Day) at twilight beach.

Gloves and bags will be provided for people to collect rubbish, but if people have their own we would love for old bags to be used first.

(January 21 - February 19)

A person from a different background will dye your thoughts a new shade that’ll inspire and motivate you.

The details will start to seem wacky as you take on a new perspective.

Pisces

(February 20 - March 20)

Strive to achieve balance in your life today. It could be time to replace the sausage rolls and cocktails with a commitment to fitness and a diet birds would love.

Aries

(March 21 - April 20)

Today is perfect for indulging your altruistic side, so find a new way to make someone smile. It can be as insignificant as treating your coworkers to coffee or something really huge like volunteering for a good cause.

Taurus

(April 21 - May 20)

Gemini

(May 21 - June 21)

Cancer

(June 22 - July 23)

There’s no need to go overboard, but it’s a good time to expose yourself to a new culture. You’ve got the itch to head out to a museum, see a performance or indulge in some other kind of art.

A big grin sticks with you all day. Energy floods you and you have no wish to let it drain away, so you’ll be running up stairs instead of taking the elevator and volunteering to do the heavy lifting around the house.

Even if it feels like you’re sailing on rough, choppy seas, keep your head down and stay active. The more you get done today the more fun you can have tomorrow, so don’t let your timbers be shivered, matey.

Leo

(July 24 - August 23)

Jokes and hilarity surround you all day as if your infectious good mood has turned your normally wonderful friends into extraordinarily amazing clowns and jesters. You’ll be head of the court, of course.

(August 24 - September 23)

Whether it’s a feather boa or Kurt Cobain sunglasses, so much enthusiasm courses through you today that you’ll have to let it take physical form. So start kicking up your heels, you thrilled creature you.

Libra

(September 24 - October 23)

Real style means being comfortable in your own skin and what you’re wearing. So no matter how great those jeans fit, ask yourself if you can sit, stand, eat and stretch in them. If the answer’s yes, you have a winner.

Scorpio

(October 24 - November 22)

You’ll find satisfaction and joy in solitude and nature today. Get away from everybody to a quiet spot where you can stare, think and walk. The day’s beautiful and hot.

Spread out a blanket and doze in the sun.

Sagittarius

(November 23 - December 22)

You won’t be able to rev yourself beyond neutral today, and something as important as making breakfast may be too much work. But that won’t help your sluggish state.

Just a piece of Vegemite on toast will give you enough energy to at least spark the pilot light.

Capricorn

(December 23 - January 20)

When it comes to starting new projects, you’re a pro. But finishing is another story. Don’t be ashamed to call in some help if you’re overwhelmed.

By Kyron Smithson Ahhhh this trying to think of something to write can be rather melancholic at times. Fresh ideas seem so hard to come. I thought Id take a break from my regular scribble and attempt to engage the casual reader in an exchange of ideas.

Recently I’ve been considering what exactly is the logical evolution for our vibrant music scene.

Do any of you have a fresh idea you would like to explore? I know my limitations, I am useless at accounting and I find it exceptionally difficult to think outside the box when developing music-orientated events. Perth has seen a great evolution in music events with large-scale festivals making way for niche, underground, intriguing quirky happenings. I rather enjoy that quirkiness based in unique leanings. I’ve loved working with Rowan Donovan over the past years, where my imagination has failed me he has picked up the reigns. Simple things such as covering the stage in meters upon meters of fairly lights, has the ability to make an event something a little more interesting. Rowan has a fine selection of fairy lights. I implore you if you have an idea for an event, an interesting venue you would like to see come to life, or just an extra element that could add intrigue to an already great thing I would absolutely love to hear your ideas; you can contact me via email at kyza_s@hotmail.com or through my Facebook page.

...escape the ordinary

We can spend a lot of our time wondering why things never work out. Why we are given such bad luck and we never seem to succeed.

We persistently keep trying and hoping that things will change. We put mountains of effort into trying to achieve what we want, continually repeating the same thing over and over again. But sometimes we are so focused on the problem that it becomes the thing we are continually repeating. We are so set in our ways that we can’t see the need for change. We keep pushing ourselves harder and harder but nothing seems to budge.

We can become so desperate to move forward that we don’t see how we are actually digging ourselves into the ground. It’s not until we question why it is taking so long that we realise it may not be the amount of effort we are putting in but more to do with where our energy being directed.

VILLAGE LIFE The village is a collection of laid back cabins, chalets and shacks all individually styled - an idyllic hideaway located on the edge of town within walking distance to secluded beaches and nestled around mature trees.

FRANK FREEMAN DRIVE, BANDY CREEK (08) 9071 1861 INFO@ESPERANCECHALETVILLAGE.COM.AU

We often need to look past old habits, abandon old ways and discover something new. Let go of what we think we know and live life the way it is rather than spending so much time seeking control over what happens. We have to stop expecting things to turn out the way we want and holding the reins so tight that everything feels it will fall apart if we let go.

We have everything we need within us and life will unfold naturally in it’s own perfect timing. It may just be as simple as shifting our perspective, to change the way we see the world - looking up instead of down.

Adapted from the memoir “A Long Way Home� by Saroo Brierley, the incredible film Lion stars Dev Patel and Nicole Kidman. Lion tells the story of fiveyear-old Saroo who accidentally ends up alone on an empty train. Frightened and bewildered, he travels thousands of miles away from his home, and lands in chaotic Kolkata. Somehow, even without speaking the language, Saroo survives living on the streets. The young boy escapes all sorts of terrors and close calls before ending up in an orphanage that is not exactly a safe haven. Eventually Saroo is adopted by an Australian couple, and finds love and security as he grows up in Hobart. As an adult, not wanting to hurt his adoptive parents’ feelings, Saroo suppresses his past, his emotional need and his hope of ever finding his lost mother and brother. But a chance meeting with some fellow Indians reawakens his memories and starts him on the path of discovery. Armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination, and Google Earth, Saroo sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home.

The film is a beautiful tale full of emotion and incredible performances. We are taken on the horrifying journey of young Saroo, to his finally finding safety and love, on to adult Saroo being settled but still missing something, then being completely lost in a world trying to find home and we finally get the to the end and are emotionally drained and lifted up. You feel every moment and cannot wait to get to the hopefully happy ending and his finding of home.

From the first shot to the final fade to black you are completely invested in this amazing story and that is the mark of a true and rare, in this day and age, film.

I could not wait to get to the end to see if he finds his family at the same time being entranced, stunned and moved by that story playing out in front of me.
