Level 5 water restrictions from 4 November Water

Level 5 water restrictions will take effect in Molong on Monday 4 November.

Molong Creek dam is currently at 37% capacity.

It is estimated approximately 10% of this total capacity is considered as silt and unusable volume,

equating to the volume of available water within the source being 27%.

The trigger point for introduction to level five water restrictions is 30% available capacity. Level four water restrictions are currently in place, with a goal of maintaining use to 200L/person/day. However, the volume of water through the Molong Water Treatment Plant is equivalent to 320L/person/day, which is well above the goal set with level four restrictions.

The target water consumption for level five water restrictions is 160L/person/day.

Water use restrictions in residential properties during level five include: • Watering of Lawns: Not permitted • Watering of Residential Gardens: Watering

systems, non-fixed sprinklers, hand-held hoses, microsprays, drip systems, soaker hoses, not permitted at any time.

• Bucket / watering-can - watering only between 6 pm - 8 pm on Sunday only.

• Three (3) minute showers Businesses that access the water network have been sent templates to develop water saving action plans.

The response to these has been positive so far.

The Council is also making arrangements for rural domestic water needs.

A number of projects are underway in order to boost the reliability of Council’s reticulation network, as well as ensure alternative sources of water supply are available in the case that water storage reaches zero.

2019/20 Bowls Brag off to good start

Halloween events in Molong Page 7

Some 54 players in 18 teams hit the green at the Molong Bowling Club last Friday evening for the start of this year's "Bowls Brag" - one of Molong's most popular regular summer social events.

Once again organised by Molong's "Brag Queen", Bron Trethowan (with Ben Brown, right) and not to mention Perry on the BBQ, players of all ages and abilities (or lack of - it doesn't matter) filled nearly both greens.

Going ... Going ... Gone!

Quinns Stables hits the dust Bouquets to the organisers of last Saturday’s Molong Colour Fun Run, their excellent organisation, to the sponsors, supporters, volunteers and the many children and families who ventured out to the golf club to have ‘colourful’ fun together.

Boots to the way some use facebook to damage the lives of others.

The Express responded this week to a facebooker’s comment about a new locally owned home-based small business - a fabulous initiative - asking the facebooker (who lives in the Western Suburbs of Sydney) to please re-consider his damaging critique of that biz.

“The people in this drought affected area are battling to create their own enterprises and selfemployment for survival ... as well as jobs for others. - Could you please consider in order to positively help our community - by stating what you explicitly did not like about the business, products and services so that we can do it better ... and survive.” No response thus far. Facebook can be a fabulous social media tool - but can fall into the hands of serious non-thinkers!!

Bouquets to Halloween (Thursday 31st October) See P.7 organisers in Molong.

Your town is set to have a big night for local families to enjoy.

Thanks to the efforts of Tracey Harvey who has created a marvellous night where over the past 5 years families have dressed up in all kinds of outfits to visit houses and businesses who have applied through Tracey’s formalised ‘channels’ - to hand out lollies, cakes, fruit to the ‘trick or treaters’.

Take a look at Tracey’s ‘Halloween’ decorated home in Wellington Street - and Lou Johnson’s family ‘witch’ nearby who is suspended in the winds. The good news is that this year Tracey’s initiative will continue (you must register your home/business with Tracey for the Halloweeners to call)- followed by the St John Cadets Halloween Disco at the Molong RSL Club - designed for all ages, families etc.

Marvellous!.

The following Saturday (2nd November) the Freemasons Hotel will be holding their annual Halloween family party. This is a great night for families, adults, party-goers in a safe and fun environment. Decorations are always amazing.

Take a look - enjoy a meal with family and friends- or a delicious cold drink. Have fun!

Note: For those worried about the cost of handing over $$’s of lollies to Halloween kids on the 31st October - they really don’t expect much - one lolly or whatever householders can afford is fine by the kids. It’s about dressing up and having fun together with their family and friends that counts to local Halloweeners.

by Rozzi Smith Last week’s strong winds appear to have decided the fate of Quinn’s Stables, a fabulous stone and timber structure built during the 1800’s the architecture style of which would have Kevin McCloud of Grand Designs and millions around the world standing in a line for the rebuilding opportunity.

But no, not in Molong it seems.

The current owner bought the site to live with his family in the gorgeous stone building at the front of the block facing Molong Street. Whilst there have been a number of owners of the property before - the lack of maintenance and repair initiatives on the stables - accompanied by weather patterns over the past 150+ years - has slowly brought about the demise of this proud example of Molong’s heritage story.

There has been a continuing safety issue for the adjoining Molong Early Learning Centre with the west wall of the stables forming a significant part of the dividing fence between the two properties. This came about when the paddocks surrounding Quinn’s was subdivided to allow for housing.

The Council of the time allowed this heritage site to be ‘hemmed’ in with the stone wall forming the dividing fence effectively removing an opportunity for Quinn’s Stables to be saved.

Council planning in the 50’s, 60’s, 70’s, 80’s was, as locals are aware, ‘haphazard’ with an industrial building allowed to be sited on the east of the site, and residential sited on the north, south & west.

Last week’s damaging wind should not have been allowed to sound the death nell for Quinn’s Stables. Past local Council planning of this area (Watson Street, Molong Street, Riddell Street) could have made better decisions - and achieved better vision for the township.

Unfortunately, through this planning regime at the time, Quinn’s Stables

remained on privately owned land.

There are few funding/grants (if any) available for improvements to safeguard Molong’s heritage buildings which are, unfortunately, sited on privately owned land. Fair enough. But if the owner is not able to maintain or preserve these buildings - they will continue to be lost. The fabulous Round House building was another lost due to being located on privately owned land.

What can be done to preserve Molong’s heritage buildings? We’re all at a loss and looking for Council (visionary) leadership to show us the way.

The current owner of Quinn’s Stables ‘inherited’ an unaffordable renovation/ rebuild, said to require an investment of up to $250,000, to fix the building to a safe standard - and to address the critical duty of care problems facing the Molong Early Centre. (Luckily when the roof of the stables came down last week there were no children or staff of the centre in the playground area).

Apparently, Cabonne Council is addressing the problem with the suggestion (could it be in the ‘dreamtime’) that the owner dismantle the stables - stockpile the stone and building materials in the hope that a future owner might rebuild. Unlikely!

Locals have seen many a heritage building ‘lost’ to never return.

However, we can take heart that

Hill St. Molong - Ph: 6366 8393 2 MOLONG EXPRESS, Thursday 24 October 2019

A doctor vacationing on the Riviera met an old lawyer friend and asked him what he was doing there.

The lawyer replied, "Remember that lousy real estate I bought? Well, it caught fire, so here I am with the fire insurance proceeds. What are you

two other derelict buildings in town did survive back in the 1970’s when a small group of visionary community members, with community and Council support - and funding - restored the old house, stables and grounds. The Molong Yarn Market, Coachouse, Village Green, Yarn Market units and grounds stand proudly today on the corner of Gidley and Bank Street - attracting locals, visitors, travellers and tourists to town.

These buildings were once sited on privately owned land - however, what stands today was able to be achieved?

How? There has to be an answer to keep Quinn’s Stables - but first and foremost the safety of the children, families and staff of the Molong Early Learning Centre has to be the first consideration, decision made and outcome achieved.

My opinion is that due to past planning approvals from the local Council of the time - it is up to the expertise of Cabonne Council (today) and their heritage/ planning area to find a better way forward for Quinn’s Stables and other buildings in town to survive and remain.

There are other heritage building issues.

Example: What will happen when the bank building in Bank Street (the half painted one) deteriorates further? The Molong Railway Station? etc. The local community cares - but is in a quandry about ‘what’ and ‘how to’.

Cabonne Council has to lead the way.

The lawyer looked puzzled. "Gee," he asked, "how did you start the flood?"

IN BRIEF

Tickets now on sale for inaugural Young Farmer Business Program Conference The NSW Department of Primary Industries is encouraging young farmers and fishers to book their spot at the inaugural Young Farmer Business Program Conference, with tickets now available to purchase online.

To be held in Dubbo on Friday 7 February 2020, the conference will include a full day of expert speakers with an evening networking event, with an optional farm and business tour the day before the conference.

Young Farmer Business Program team leader Alex Hicks said the conference will provide greater access to the skills and knowledge required to enable the next generation of primary producers to be successful.

“Participants will have an opportunity to learn critical business, communication and planning skills while being inspired and motivated by speakers and the passion of other young people,” Ms Hicks said.

“We’ve lined up an exciting array of speakers for the event, including the headline presentation from business magnate Mark Bouris, star of television shows The Mentor and The Apprentice Australia.

“Other speakers include former Wallabies captain Stirling Mortlock AM, and best-selling author Chris Helder.

“There will also be a wide range of trade exhibitors on hand to answer questions, a panel session with young farmers sharing their stories and insights, and an opportunity to network and share experiences with around 200 other participants.”

Mindful of the need to minimise the cost to young people, an early bird discount for the conference is available, with tickets for the conference and evening networking event only costing $99 instead of the $149 full price.

The optional Orana region farm and business tours on Thursday 6 February will cost an additional $49.

Places are limited so we urge people to get on board and register their interest early. To purchase tickets, go to www.bit.ly/yfbpconference2020

Live Broadcasting of Blayney Council Meetings After a couple of months practice operating the new audio visual recording system, Blayney Shire Council will implement a live stream function for Council Meetings via our YouTube channel from the October Council Meeting on Monday 21 October at 6pm.

Blayney Shire Council meetings will be recorded and made available to be viewed after the meeting on Council’s website under the ‘Your Council’ and ‘Council Meetings’ tabs.

NSW Labor will give communities a vote on council mergers Labor Shadow Minister for Local Government Greg Warren has promised that Labor will give communities across NSW the option of holding a plebiscite on the forced mergers inflicted on their local councils by the Liberals and Nationals.

Labor will continue to oppose any more forced council mergers or demergers.

The Liberal and National Government’s support for forced council mergers has angered communities across NSW who were forced to merge, including Cootamundra and Gundagai, Tumbarumba and Tumut, Gloucester Shire, Great Lakes and Taree, and Boorowa, Harden and Young.

Mr Warren said that the return of genuine democracy to local communities was long overdue.

Forum on business rates suggested CONCERNS from the business community about the cost of rates would need further discussion before any changes could be made, according to Orange’s Mayor.

State government figures posted rates at $6336 in Orange compared with $3751 in other regional cities on average, prompting the Orange Business Chamber to respond that the cost did not help businesses in an already competitive market.

The Central Western Daily reports Cr Kidd said the council could reconsider business rates if business groups sought a meeting.

“I would suggest what we need is a proposal to Council from those bodies representing the businesses so we can sit down - perhaps we can have a forum to discuss if this is a major issue,” he said.

Planning a holiday?

Before you travel locally, interstate, or overseas - take the time to chat with the professional team at Sue Wild’s Molong Pharmacy who have plenty of healthy travel tips to help you and your family enjoy your time away.

“There can be health risks for people of all ages linked with distance and overseas travel” said Sue Wild who together with husband, Cameron have travelled extensively around Australia and overseas. No doubt picking up plenty of helpful tips along the way from their own holiday experiences which they are happy to share with others.

“There are many stories of bad travel experiences” said Sue. “But there are ways to help prevent these - and we are happy to help by recommending and supplying medications, first aid and personal safety and care items for the whole family”.

Where has Rozzi been?

“Well, ‘not to London to visit the Queen’ said the Express Editor who ventured to the Blue Mts to look after family some 6 weeks ago - and ended up hospitalised due to what was thought to be a white tail spider bite.

“Jenny from Penrith arrived in emergency at the same time” said Rozzi “with what was diagnosed to be a red-back spider bite.”

“Jenny’s wound was really nasty requiring two operations to remove the poison. Mine was not as bad - although it has taken that many weeks of antibiotics and pain killers to relieve my hand. Jenny had been bitten in her garden whilst scooping up dry leaves - mine could have happened in my shed sorting through old boxes or digging in the garden”.

“Nepean & District Hospital was marvellous - but I was very glad to return to Molong to Dr. Zambo, Dr. Williams and the wonderful team at the Molong Health Services. Jenny? Still recovering - avoid redbacks!

“Always wear protective gloves we both learnt from our experiences”.

(Left) Sue Wild with helpful travel items available from the Molong Pharmacy’s ‘Globite’ range - designed by travellers for travellers.

Health Risk: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

This condition occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein in the leg. It can move through the bloodstream to other organs, causing serious problems. Sitting or lying still for a long time while travelling increases the risk of DVT. Factors that increase the risk of DVT include Age over 40 years; Smoking; Recent surgery or injury; Inactivity; Pregnancy; Family history of DVT; Overweight; Blood Clotting Disorders; Hormone Medicines (e.g. contraceptive pills); Some medical conditions (e.g. heart disease, cancer).

“There are ways to reduce the risk of DVT” said Sue who recommends compression socks or stockings to those who could be affected (see ‘Globite’ Compression Flight Socks above left available at the Molong Pharmacy).

(Above) Check out the range of ‘Globite’ travel accessories at the Molong Pharmacy - including travel adaptors required in USA, Canada and European countries.

Worried about tummy bugs, drinking water, immunisations, money belts etc? Seek Sue’s advice.

Jim and Anne Neil of Molong (both great writers and wonderful community members) have extended their family home to accommodate one of Molong’s much loved woman who has returned to town after a few years travelling. ‘Welcome back home’ to Trini Brogden (far right) one of the Neil’s best friends and a long-time Molong favourite.

Letters

Got a story to tell ?

Jim and Anne Neil of Molong have been contributing some great stories to the Express. Before we run some more, Jim has penned the letter below asking if there is anyone else out there who can have a go.

We thank Jim for his kind letter and heartily endorse his call. Don’t think you can’t write - we can fix it up if needs be. It doesn’t have to be an epic - our readers enjoy a quick yarn from real life.

Hope to hear from you soon Over the year's they used to have books on working dog stories, which for anyone who has had any experience on the land could relate to.

There were a lot of amazing and funny thing's that were exellent reading especially for people that had that sort of experience and could relate to the particular story.

I asked Rozzi if we could give it a try in the local paper which I thought would put a bit more enjoyment into things rather than just news about things that a lot of us would rather not hear about.

Have a laugh occasionally rather than suffering from depression every time we hear of the things that are going on in the world.

I am not into writing at all, a big part of my working life was rural related. Station Hand, Shearing, Droving, station manager etc. It is only the last few years that I had to change my lifestyle because my back told me it was about time I pulled my head in.

The only reason I have been putting a few things in the Express is that I was asked by Rozzi if I could tell a few stories about shearing and it has just gone on from there.

The drought we are in has caused a lot of stress on a lot of people and farmers in particular

have been recieving a lot of help from different souces ,so how about we return the favour and try and help some of the people that have been behind you 100% and could use a little bit of help themselves.

Rozzi has not been well and Paul has been trying to do most of it on his own. Anyone of us would have a funny story they could tell from one of lifes experiences or as I said, working dog stories, horses, anything at all to help make it easier for two people who have stood up for the Molong community for years.

We are a country community which in my opinion should be about everyone in this comunity not just a part of it.

There are people out there that are older and wiser than me and it would be great to read stories of the way things were back when people literally busted there guts to make a living in these country areas.

All I'm asking is how about having a shot at it.

It would be a great thing for the local paper and give the readers a reason to have a laugh now and then. As I said before If I can do it anyone can.

Jim Neil

P.S. We are always hearing opinions from all over on local issues - but we rarely get letters to the Editor. If something is making your blood boil or you want to promote a cause, drop us a line, email or drop it in to the office (Mon-Wed).

Daphne Bollinger's Special Birthday

Happy Birthday to a special Molong lady, Daphne Bollinger who recently celebrated her 89th birthday with a family lunch at Barnseys.

Daughter, Nerida, travelled from Tamworth to be with her mum on the day with grandson Elton and his family travelling from Queensland to celebrate with their nan.

A long-time resident of this area - Daphne was born into the Windus family of Gumble/ Manildra - marrying local man, Bob Bollinger.

Together they raised their family in Molong with both Bob and Daphne playing significant community volunteer roles to help build the town to benefit the local community, then and in the future.

Bob, with Daphne by his side, worked tirelessly to lead the commencement of the Prunus Lodge buildings in Bells Lane. With full community support - Bob led the committees and years of community fundraising for Prunus to become a reality - which continues to benefit residents today as the centre will for tomorrow's

residents.

Daphne was popular with her gardening skills and her stunning floral arrangements which many brides from the past remember of their special day.

Today, Daphne is a well loved resident of Prunus Lodge and the Molong community who is often seen on her gopher in Bank Street, shopping, enjoying a cuppa with friends at Barnseys - and taking the time to give warm cheery smiles accompanied by a friendly 'hello' to both residents, traders, travellers, visitors and tourists.

Such a role is important in this (and any) community where seniors (like Daphne Bollinger) willingly give their time to stay involved, take an interest in others, and in doing so - make a difference to all of our lives.

Happy Birthday to Daphne from the Express and the Molong and district communities - a beautiful 'gem' loved and respected by all.

MOLONG CROQUET

CRICKET

Millthorpe Lone Leaders

After two rounds of the Oilsplus Senior Cricket Competition Millthorpe remain the only undefeated team, whilst Country and Canowindra registered their first wins.

At Canowindra the home team batted first and most of their batsmen got starts. J Austin (44no), A Fisher (26) and the Traves brothers Nick (21) & Ben (22) led the way but the hosts were bowled out in the 34th over for 163. Jacob Evans doing the damage for Magpies taking 5 for 39 from 8 overs. In reply Magpies could only muster 89 with Tim Milne (25) top scorer. Good win for Canowindra.

At Milthorpe Cudal batting first were dismissed for 131. In reply Milthorpe lost only one wicket before passing Cudal and registering their second straight win.

A confident Lydnhurst travelled to Molong looking for their second win but soon came crashing back to earth against premiers Country.

Batting first they were dismissed for 88. Jock Haynes was unplayable taking 6 for 24 from 6 overs. T Ferson scored 30 of Lyndhurst’s runs.

In reply Country only lost two wickets (Joe & Sean batting at the wrong end of the order) in 18 overs to pass Lyndhurst and record their first win of the season.
