Carrots
EATING PLENTY OF
carrots can help towards
cancer prevention. Interestingly
consuming leftover
carrots can even increase
this health benefit.
Not only does the
cooking process
immediately increase a
carrot’s level of antioxidants those levels keep
rising for a few days
afterwards.
So eat them as leftovers
and they will be even
better for you.
It doesn’t matter which
cooking method you use

NOT JUST TO MAKE YOUR
HAIR CURL! Carrots are
healthyfor you
the antioxidant levels will
rise regardless.
If boiling carrots for the
first time, a good tip is to
leave them whole and chop
them later. They will contain
25 per cent more falcinol, a
compound with anti-cancer
properties, than carrots that
are chopped before boiling.

YESS: Thanks to the cove
We do it all!
BY Wilma Greenway
IN 2013 A group of five North Arm
Cove women met to discuss how best
to utilise the very generous donation
of a framed Collector’s print depicting
Australian cricketing heroes.
The outcome of this discussion
was a raffle would be conducted, the
proceeds used to benefit the children
of North Arm Cove.
Each cove child
entering their first
year at high school
would receive a oneoff award of $100
toward their chosen
high school sporting
activity.
From this meeting the ‘seed’
was planted and the Youth
Encouragement Sport Support;
(YESS) project evolved.
It has proved an outstanding success
thanks to the enthusiastic response
from the cove community and we
have decided to continue the YESS
project.
Our aim is to hold one function,
possibly two, annually and use any
funds we have accumulated from our
various fundraising to promote and
encourage any sporting endeavours
undertaken by selected cove children.
We do have in mind contributing
towards playground equipment and
other sport-related facilities, ie cricket
pitch/nets, cycle track and climbing
equipment.
These are long-
term aims, as we are
mindful of the ‘red
tape’ and cost
involved.
We intend to
promote and
support other
organisers for the
cove’s 2017 Australia Day celebration
at Heros Beach. The YESS
committee will contribute towards
the day by funding the supply of ice
blocks, drinks and, perhaps, a sausage
sizzle. More details in future Cove
News.
We hope you will continue to
support the YESS Project. We, the
committee - Joan, Wilma, Annette,
Robyn and Mo - thank you all for
your marvellous acceptance of YESS.

to contribute to
future cove
sports facilities’

Cove News - October 2016
Live theatre at Hawks Nest: No matinee at
cove this year
THE AUTHOR OF the
comedy, ‘Just Do The Best You
Can’, Myall Coast Entertainers
(MCE) 2016 production, hopes
that it will bring out a lot of
emotions in different people.
The play may be a bit
confronting for some, and
may evoke different feelings
and emotions for others,
according to Allan Wilson,
President of MCE. This play will hopefully
include humour, fun, love, wit,
sadness, naughtiness, and even
controversy.
Allan recalls a verse in a
Hollies’ song with the same
title as this play:
Win again, lose again.
Don’t feel sad when things go bad.
You just do the best you can.
Do the best you can.
Finally, people may wish to bring
a hanky to wipe their tears of joy,
laughter and happiness.
The comedy will be performed at
the Hawks Nest Community only
this year - no Saturday matinee
at the cove.
Opening night, October 12, is sold
out, however, tickets are available
for Thursday, October 13-Saturday.

Setting up a New Printer Printers
When setting up a new printer it is important that you
DON’T plug in the USB cable until the software tells
you to.
When you install the software it will get to a stage and
say ‘NOW plug in your printer’ and won’t go any further
until it detects the printer.
If connecting by Wi-Fi, setup the Wi-Fi on the printer
to connect it to your modem first, using buttons on
printer then install the software.
I am surprised by people thinking you just plug in the
printer and it will install itself. This will rarely work,
although Windows 10 has more chance then previous
versions of Windows.
If you don’t have the disc for the printer DON’T
search the internet for a suitable driver. Go directly to
the manufacturer’s web site. On each site there will be a
driver / support section for you to download.
These are the correct websites.

The Fest will feature
demonstrations including
sauerkraut, cheese, sourdough,
Kimchee, Kaffir and Kambucha

ANYONE CONTEMPLATING
VISITING Broken Hill?
‘Now is the time to do it,’ is the
opinion of Cove Boulevarde’s
Colin and Joan Williams who
returned from their 35th visit to
‘The Hill’ September 20, 2016.
They said the countryside is
magnificent, and the best they
have seen it.
Joan taught there as a P.E.
teacher 1955/56. Colin grew up
and did his schooling in Broken
Hill.
This visit was to attend the
Golden Oldies’, a reunion of exBroken Hill High School students
held every year at this time.
There were four other students
of Colin’s 1st year high school
class of 71 years ago in
attendance.
Joan and Colin had a great time
with old friends, revisiting old
haunts and seeing the
countryside at its very best.
