They are truly great schools with dedicated teachers and the students are in good hands indeed.

The weather was interesting last week with multiple waterspouts spotted and surfers surfing the big waves at the Narooma bar crossing.

It’s always great to receive photographs from our readers on these and other happenings, so make sure if you see something interesting to snap away and send us the photos.

A double visit to Bermagui by the Snowy Hydro SouthCare rescue helicopter, as well as a rescue of a sailor from the tall ship Endeavour by the Westpac Lifesaver chopper that we covered online, shows how important these aerial services are.

If you ever approached to help financially for these two helicopter services, feel free to donate.

Finally, it is great to have a cartoon from our old cartoonist Mike Badman who now lives in Orange.

He sent in the cartoon about the knighthood controversy just as I was putting the letters page together, so great timing!
