Lane ropes & opening times at the pool First came the double white lines down the middle of Bank Street. Now there is the sudden appearance of lap swimming lanes down the middle of the Molong Pool.

Not everyone is happy (See letter page 4). As well as lap swimmers the pool is frequented by those who wish just to cool off or, often, wish to exercise - walking / wading across and back at a constant depth or doing aqua exercises etc.

Lane ropes (seemingly permanently in place) and lap swimmers in the middle of the pool will make wading trips very short.

News of opening times (initially no early morning or before work swimming), concerned some.

However, the Council has been quick to respond.

The pool will open Wednesday and Friday for lap swimming from 6 to 9 am - on a trial basis for three weeks. Opening hours may be reviewed depending on feedback.

It does seem hard to comprehend why lane ropes have to be in the middle of the pool all the time. (Dawn Fraser and other Olympians coped with swimming in lanes 1 or 2).

The pool is under new professional management this season and no doubt there will be some teething problems.

Council and pool operators have promised a response to our questions and we'll bring them to you next week.

The city to Molong drought ride

45 city cyclists paid $1,000 each to participate in last weekend's two day 'Drought Ride' which commenced (and finished) in Molong continuing through Manildra to Parkes, Forbes and Grenfell and the towns and villages in between.

The cyclists came together through the initiative of former Forbes farming resident Shane Mattiske who came up with the idea as a way to visit drought affected rural communities buying accommodation, meals, supplies, shopping to help.

Arriving in Molong last Friday evening, the cyclists

booked in to the Molong Motor Inn and Telegraph Hotel before heading to the RSL Club where Mario served what the cyclists said was an "amazing meal".

Paula and Brenden and the team at the Molong Bakery served breakfast - orders were placed for meat packages to take home from Trent and Sharni at the local butcher shop - before the cyclists headed off enroute to Grenfell to spend the night.

Returning to Molong on Sunday - the cyclists were greeted at the Rec. by a BBQ afternoon tea served

by Molong Rotary Club before heading off back to the

city.

"The cyclists commented on how friendly the people in the towns were towards them - welcoming them warmly - and taking the time to meet and greet them".

Fundraising continued along the way between the cyclists which will be donated back to Central West rural communities.

In all, the goodwill gesture has helped local business in the area through their generous donations.

Molong Fairbridge walkway proposed

Orange residents hear update on council drought response

Wth the $1m Fairbridge Memorial Park under construction on the Mitchell Highway at the Amaroo turnoff - and with thinking caps on for projects eligible for grant funding - here’s an idea bound to be popular.

Residents like Molong's Mary Iffland love the town they live in ... and love to share their ideas with other creative and 'can do' minds.

The Express has become the place where creative minds come together to talk about good ideas for Molong. We get equally enthused about all things Molong ... and creative ... and love helping people to progress their ideas to the next stage - where MAG, growMOLONG, or Cabonne Council become involved.

Many people are looking to do more walking and/or cycling.

It would be amazing to be able to walk or ride from Molong out to the new Fairbridge Farm Park.

On the way you could stop and have a picnic at the Old Molong Weir (some maintenance and picnic tables would be ideal.)

Following the Molong Creek would create a nice ambience and create what would undoubtedly become a popular local and tourist activity.

Orange residents have heard how Orange City Council has spent around $90 million on water infrastructure since the last drought. The tally includes state, federal council-funded projects on enlarging Suma Park Dam, the Macquarie Pipeline and the Orange to Carcoar pipeline.

The update came at two community water forums staged this week to keep residents in touch with details of the latest drought initiatives.

Around fifty people came to a forum in the Civic Theatre foyer on Monday evening while around thirty people attended a forum on Thursday at noon in the council chamber.

The program included a welcome from Mayor Reg Kidd, presentations from council staff and opportunities for residents to ask their questions.

Orange Mayor Reg Kidd was delighted by the quality of the questions from members of the community.

“The people of Orange are doing a fantastic job when it comes to our community water restrictions,” Cr Reg Kidd said.

“Orange’s long journey with responsible water use, has shown how it’s possible to get down to 140 litres per person per day.”

“It’s a sign of how much local residents are taking the Level 5 package seriously, that they came to these information forums with thoughtful questions about problems they are wrestling with.”

“It was good too for the community to see that councillors and council staff were putting a lot of time and effort into our response to the drought. It’s an approach that can give the community confidence.”

“It’s important to remember that the success of this package of measures won’t mean that we’ll be able to go back to some unsustainable level of water use, or that droughts will never happen.”

“What’s going to get us through

this drought is a suite of effective water infrastructure, alongside a community where residents have learnt how to be water-wise, and water-responsible.”

Among the information presented at the community events : • The key elements of Orange’s expanded water infrastructure are designed to either store more water or to access sources of water during a drought.

• Raising the height of Suma Pak Dam wall increased the storage capacity of the dam by 10% • Orange’s stormwater harvesting scheme sourced water after rain events which didn’t otherwise add any flow to Suma Park dam. e.g. Two rains events in September totalled 56 mm of rain. While there was no runoff from parched paddocks, the stormwater harvesting system produced enough water for eight days’ use.

• The Macquarie pipeline connected a dam with a small catchment area (179 sq kms) to a river with a much larger catchment area (8,000 sq kms) • A positive response by the State Government to approaches by the council to lower the trigger point for pumping from the Macquarie could significantly increase the contribution the pipeline makes Orange’s water supply.

“Operating the pipeline with a trigger point of 119 megalitres a day before we can pump has been a real obstacle,” Cr Reg Kidd said.

“We’re asking the government to let us work with the originallymodelled trigger-point of 38 megalitres a day as an ‘emergency’ measure while the dam is below 50%.” “We’re keen to get a decision from the government in the coming weeks. “Our very conservative modelling suggests even if this drought continues, there will be enough water in the river to maintain the ecological health of the river and let us get enough water to prevent us going into Level 6 water restrictions.

Clean, healthy and well maintained Public Toilets required in Molong

Local residents thought they were ‘on a dunny winner’ when Cabonne Council finally opened their wallet (maybe bank account) for a long overdue refurbishment program for the Bank Street public toilets.

So bad had these toilets become the word ‘Yippee’ buzzed around Bank Street the community, local traders and visitors to the facility were thrilled beyond belief. At last, a clean, safe, healthy toilet block had become more than a possibility!

Cabonne Council, through the efforts of Crs. Jamie Jones, Paul Mullins, Libby Oldham and Peter Batten - and years of complaints from the wider community had - finally - been heard by the budget decision makers at Cabonne Council.

Unfortunately, complaints about Molong’s 3 public toilets (Bank Street, the Rec., Rotary Park) continue. To the point where today, the Express and the wider community, visitors,

travellers and tourists are often questioning whether these facilities comply with public health requirements.

The Express has now sent yet another ‘rocket’ to Cabonne Council, in the interest of public health and safety. We have asked Council to 1) Provide us with the cleaning roster for all three public toilets in Molong and across Cabonne including school holidays and community events.

2) Provide us with the 2019/2020 budget allocation for the refurbishment, cleaning, and supplies (soap, paper etc) for Molong’s 3 toilets - and those across

Molong Pool

I am disgusted with the way the pool is being run at the moment .

I used to love going to our local pool but I will not go now because they have put the lane ropes in permanently.

I and other people walk across the pool and cannot do this anymore .

When I asked the manager of the pool why the lane ropes are there he said that the council had got a lot of letters of complaint from lap swimmers not being able to do laps.

I feel these people are targeting me as I am down there most days at opening time at 10.30am for 1-2 hours a day. A fair bit of that time I am by myself - there would be less than four lap swimmers at any one time - and I have never had a complaint to me from any of the lap swimmers.

Farmers technology workshop

In a changing agricultural climate, hands-on technology workshop comes to Orange to help farmers make better informed decisions.

On Monday 25th November at 3 pm, AgriWebb and Xero will be hosting a free interactive workshop for local farmers at The Greenhouse of Orange (Ex-Services Club), supported by local accountants YBM. As the first event of its kind in the Central West for livestock and mixed farming operations, the session will explore options to simplify record-keeping and gain key insights to improve farm productivity.

John Fargher, co-founder of farm management software app AgriWebb, says sheep and cattle farmers in the Central West region are at a historic period of transformation.

“Red meat farming is more complex than ever with increasing pressures posed by weather, regulations, commodity prices and consumers.

This pace of change results in a need for farmers to be sustainable and adapt the way they’ve run the business for generations.”

Mr Fargher believes that, until now, record keeping has demanded a huge amount of farmers’ most precious resource - their time from mislaid paper notebooks, data duplication from wrestling with spreadsheets and difficulty

Letters

accessing historical records.

“As a result, decisions are more often based on gut instinct than data as it’s so difficult to get an accurate picture of how the business is performing. Fortunately, technology has evolved so now farmers can get operational insights from their device whilst standing in the paddock, even without any phone service.”

The time saved can be better spent with the family, exploring ways to grow the business or even succession planning with your farm accountant.

The workshop is designed for livestock farmers and will explore: ● Making data-driven decisions in real-time on-farm; ● Improving productivity across your operation; ● Saving time thanks to easy-to-implement on-farm accreditation and biosecurity forms Afternoon tea and BBQ will be provided.

the only one that walks across the pool.

People with physical limitations or rehabilitating benefit greatly by going back and forth across the pool.

As I feel this is a go at me I will not be going to our pool. It was a great place for me to go and try and exercise. I saw a facebook comment that people who walk across the pool are a pain in the neck to lap swimmers and the pool is a better place without us.

I am taking this as a personal attack on me as I was there most of the time much of which I was there by myself. I used to call the pool my happy place. Now it is a disgrace.

I would like to know how many complaints the Council really has had and if the lanes will be taken out.

Anthony Bennett, “Bruno”, Molong.

Emergency radio - fire bans

The extent and ferocity of the current fires, and the certainty that “catastrophic conditions” will soon be the new norm should be galvanising governments at all levels into doing whatever they can to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis and to prepare for the inevitability of extreme weather events. Even the smallest of things can make a difference.

One small leaf that might be worth taking from the USA’s book is the emergency radio. In that country people can buy inexpensive radios that run on batteries or mains power and broadcast only one station.

Twenty-four hours a day, 365 days a year, that station broadcasts weather forecasts and updates from NOAA, the USA’s BoM equivalent, and during extreme weather events – tornadoes or blizzards for example – citizens can tune in to receive minute by minute warnings for their local area. Local “spotters” and radar stream information to the regional NOAA office and it is immediately fed into the system.

During tornado season, you might hear: “The violent storm two miles east of Minorsville has produced a tornado heading southwest towards Peaks Mill. Residents between Minorsville and 368 take shelter immediately; residents south-west of 368 and near Peaks

Mill should take shelter within the next 10 minutes.” If the storm were to change direction, that would be broadcast as soon as the report came in.

These storms can affect satellite and cable TV and other communications, making the radios an invaluable resource – especially in rural areas. Perhaps something like that might be useful in Australia?

And do we need to revisit the way we implement fire bans? With the fire season beginning earlier and lasting longer, and sudden weather changes becoming more frequent, there might be a case for issuing total bans at the first onset of hot, dry weather. The bans could stay in place until, say, late autumn, only being lifted if weather conditions allowed it – the opposite to the system we have in place now.

Permanent aerial fire patrols could also be introduced. Admittedly, it would be an inconvenience and put a bit of a damper on many cherished activities, and it would also be costly. However, insurance costs are going to rise and perhaps insurers and banks could be persuaded to contribute; it would be in their interests to do so. And surely it is now a case of “better safe than sorry”.

... and the girls played too!

Many thanks to Molong resident Kevin Howell who answered the Express recent question about the ladies football match on 9 July 1961.

Kevin, a former Magpie player and Rugby Union enthusiast brought in some of his local footy book collection to not only name the team members of the Pill Hill Gazelles - but also the other team, the Town Snobs and details of the match. Back then, it was unusual for women to play Rugby - or footy other than against brothers in backyards.

How times have changed!

Lorraine Oates (formerly Dr. Livingstone) remembers the Pill Hill Gazelles (Molong Hospital team) were led onto the field by Dr. Gerry Wilson and Sister Evelyn Johnston.

An auction was held before the game to add to the fundraising event which Lesley Lee of Molong informed the Express supported the purchasing of equipment etc at the Molong Hospital.

The report of the day in the Molong Rugby Union year book stated "A feature of the 1961 season was the first of a number of girls matches, when the Town Snobs played the Pill Hill Gazelles. The girls trained for some weeks prior to the match and result was a first class exhibition of genuine football. No quarter was asked or given, and the girls ran and tackled in a manner which would have put many men's teams to shame".

The winners of the day were the Molong Town Snobs in what was remembered as "a fun community event which attracted a huge crowd".

Note: Who remembers the coaches names? Some think one team was trained by Jack Brazier. The other?

Is there any truth in the rumour that the first try of the match was mistakingly scored over the opposition's try line?

The Pill Hill Gazelles - (Back l to r) Trish O'Shea, P. Nankaville, Judy Austin, Therese Johnson, Deidre Lyons, Noelene Dean (Middle l to r) Pam Sharpless, Eileen Mulhall, Dorothy Caldwell, Jeanette Smith.

ClearWater Tanks - Best in Cabonne

(Above left) In 2011 - Manildra residents, Ben and Sam Allcorn saw the opportunity to purchase an existing home-based tank building business in Orange. They took the risk, moved the business to Manildra, worked hard, diversified their product range ... employed locals including a marketing and sales team ... and grew as sales increased across rural NSW and interstate.

ClearWater Tanks gained the attention of the Daroo Business Award's judging team who named the growing business the 2019 Daroo Best Business in Cabonne.

(Above) The ClearWater Tanks team - Ben Allcorn, Wayne Sharpe and Tim Peschka (Production Team), Carol Allcorn (Administration Manager), Addie Eastwood (Marketing Co-Ordinator), Leah Hutchinson (Sales Co-Ordinator), Sam Allcorn. Missing from the photo Scott Allcorn (Production Team), Warwick Boers (Deliveries). by Rozzi Smith

It's encouraging to see two born and bred young local men make a move into helping to build Cabonne's business base. Particularly in the industrial hub of Manildra - creating employment opportunities for local people and helping other business to grow.

That's the courage of Ben and Sam Allcorn who purchased a small existing tank building business - moved it to Manildra - worked hard - and grew. "There's more to come..." said Ben who with brother Sam are prepared to continue growing their business.

Their story started in May 2011 when they saw the ClearWater Tanks business for sale in Orange. At the time both Ben and Sam were employed at the Manildra Flour Mill as shift workers.

Both married with children the Allcorns decided that it was time to look for their own business opportunity and time to spend weekends, Christmas day etc with their family.

With the support of their wives Renae and Sally and family members brother Scott, Mum Carol - Sam and Ben have worked hard to establish Clearwater Tanks as a quality product in the industry.

Modest to the core - Sam and Ben speak more about their team members rather than how they initially gained success.

With wisdom - they are happy to remain in their large workshop, covered in cement, building cement troughs or out in the field constructing their Steel Liner Tanks - while Carol runs the administration, Addie plans their marketing exposure and strategies, and Leah works the phones and online sales.

This is a smart, and perfect combination of skills and knowledge which will enable the ClearWater Tanks team and business to progress positively into the future.

CTLX cattle market report 12/11/19

AGENTS YARDED 3850 It was a good quality yarding with good numbers of young cattle to suit the feeders and processors. There were very large numbers of cows and grown heifers which were responsible for more than half of the yarding. There were also some good pens of grown steers. Not all the regular buyers were present with the absence of a couple of feeder buyers.

The few trade cattle were around firm with the prime heifer yearlings selling from 245c to 286c/kg. Feeder steers were 15c cheaper while the feeder heifers were 16c/kg cheaper for the lighter weights and close to firm for the heavier weights. Feeder steers sold from

275c to 315c while the feeder heifers sold from 241c to 287c/kg. Young restocker cattle were a little cheaper with the young steers selling from 230c to 279c while the restocker heifers sold to 272c/kg.

MOLONG GOLF

CRICKET Milthorpe, Cudal and Magpies all had wins last Saturday in the Oilsplus Senior Cricket competition.

Cudal go to the top of the competition table after disposing of Canowindra at Canowindra. Batting first the home side could only muster 117 before being dismissed. J Austin was the only batsman to make any real contribution top scoring for Canowindra with 25. Chris Sprattt (3 for 25) and Scott Barrett (2 for 11) were Cudal's chief wicket takers. In reply Cudal only lost 5 wickets chasing the small total passing Canowindra in the 24th over to record a comfortable win. However Lee Cornish was the only Cudal batsman to stand out scoring a rapid fire 74. J Austin backed up his good batting for Canowindra by also being their best bowler taking 3 Cudal wickets for 40 runs. A comfortable win for Cudal but two losses in a row for Canowindra, who will need to get back on track this weekend against Lyndhurst.

Mithorpe were home to Molong All Stars. The visitors won the toss and batted first. Opener Scott Twiss top scored with 28 but none of the other top and middle order batsman contributed and only number 9 Luke Miller with 26 saved the visitors from an embarrassing total. All out in the 37th over for 134. Most of Milthorpe's bowlers shared the honors with Pete Hellier 2 for 40 the pick. In reply Milthorpe cruised past the moderate All Stars total losing just three wickets on the way. Will Oldham top scoring with 62no.

Simon Badgery 32no also batted well. Another loss for the much fancied All Stars as they languish at the bottom of the table as the season nears the halfway mark.

After not winning a game for over a year last seasons wooden spooners Magpies have won their second game in a row with a comfortable win over Lyndhurst at the Rec. The visitors won the toss and elected to bat. A great opening spell from Tim Milne had Lydnhurst's gun opener Clint O'Brien back in the sheds when he bowled him for a duck. The very next ball Tom Ferson was

dropped after a regulation catch was put down.

That debacle cost Magpies 43 runs as Ferson top scored for Lyndhurst. Memories of Magpies 98 dropped catches last season were fresh in their minds however they recovered to bowl and field well to restrict the visitors to 7 for 140 after 40 overs. The only downside for Magpies was a significant injury to Gus Swamy as he tore his delicate hamstring walking in with the bowler. Gus will join Rod Jones on the sidelines for several weeks. Jones tore his groin blocking a ball whilst batting the week before. Both players have been sent to the Magpies High Maintenance Unit for obvious reasons. Tim Miilne bowled superbly taking 3 for 3. Tim is a much improved all round player and has progressed in leaps and bounds since leaving the dour surrounds that is Country.

Ben Brown also bowled beautifully mezmerising the Lyndhurst batsman with some fine leg spin with the remarkable figures of 2 for 5 from 8 overs. In reply Magpies got off to a good start with openers Les Hoppa (25) and Dylan Wilson (19) batting well and laying the platform for a win.

Veteran batsman Greg Pringle scored 54no with Magpies passing Lyndhurst's total in the 26th over 6 wickets down. B Mitchell bowled very well keeping Lyndhurst in the game for a while taking 4 for 31. A great win for Magpies and a real chance to make it 3 in a row this Saturday against the out of form All Stars who will be without their gun batsman David Hobbs who will be in Perth representing NSW in lots of things.

OILSPLUS POINTS TABLE Cudal 27; Milthorpe 24; Country 24; Canowindra 23; Magpies 20; Lyndhurst 16; All Stars16 This Saturday sees Magpies v All Stars @ the REC, Country v Milthorpe @ Hunter Caldwell and Lyndhurst home to Canowindra. Cudal have the bye.

Molong will challenge Parkes in the Grinstead Cup on Sunday 24 November. The team is in the process of being selected and will be named in next weeks report.

Well done the phantom walker who came in with a 46 off the stick.

Drew, consistent but could be better. Marty, could be better too - could give away the cart. Bro been playing long enough - should know better. Bruno had a 32 - but that didn't count.

Thanks for that injection, Quinny.

Great day - plenty of unprintable remarks - a bit of kicking the dirt thanks Les and thanks Bettsy - hope to see you on Sunday at Molong.
