Hays recent Youth Festival, organised by the High School with support from Hay Shire Council, has been crowned a great success. Students from all schools enjoyed art workshops, jumping castle, an obstacle course set up by the Rural Fire Brigade and Hay Shires inflatable climbing wall. There were also performances by a duo from Wagga Wagga, local band NuffSaid, and young Victorian band Uprising. Uprising were a very popular attraction, after recently making their television debut on “Australia’s Got Talent” The evening of the 29 July saw our local version “Hay’s Got Talent” hosted, with a great line-up of local artists. Emma Dowling was awarded first place, followed by a drama act featuring Lara Woods, Tori Oliver and Sean Towler, and a dance duo of Jamilla Pynor and Myla Bisset. Hosted by charismatic Sean Towler, the evening was a great success, and featured encore performances by NuffSaid and Uprising.

Uprisings latest releases are previewed on YouTube, along with an entertaining documentary of their trip to Hay.

Hay Public School Trent Barratt Shield Teams competed in Leeton in August. The girls League Tag team consisted of Lillian Ives, Ellie Hicks, Holly Headon, Gemma Tassell, Emily Headon, Katies Schiller, Abby-Jean Doyel, Kate Simpson, Gemmalee Miller & Maggie Biggs. They played three games, defeating St Josephs Leeton 3-0 and St Josephs Narrandera 6-2, before meeting Leeton Small Schools in the semi-finals. They lost to a very experienced team 7-3. Try scorers for the day were Lillian Ives (6), Holly Headon (3), Ellie Hicks (2) and Maggie Biggs. The result was amazing considering the girls were playing their first competition games. The team wishes to thank the Stage 3 girls who trained them during their lunch breaks, in preparation for the competition. The boys team consisted of Jack Miller, Simon Darlow, Jaykeb Cowdrey, Noah Hey, Sam Curtis, Sam Martin, Charlie Hurst, Sam Loveridge, Monte Barnes, Callum Canning and Darcy Cullenward. Their first game against Parkview showed the experience of the Hay boys winning 11 to nil. Against Leeton Public in game two the winning streak continued 7 to 3, and the boys then went on to meet St Josephs Leeton in the semi-final. Hay Public played well but were defeated 7 to 3.

St Mary’s League Tag team competed in Griffith in August in the Trent Barratt Shield. In a strong start the girls beat Goolgowi 6 to 1, and great defence in game 2 saw St Mary’s victorious against Griiffith North 6 to 1. The girls met Coleambally in the Final, a team of experienced players, however St Mary’s stars blitzed the field winning 7 to nil. Their win sees the team move to the nect stage to be played in Wagga in September.

So... why is it that we all ache to grow up so fast? Everyone under 18 is saying “I cant wait ‘til I'm 18”. The 18 year olds are too drunk to think, and everyone over 18 soon starts to wish they were still 18 (or even better, 17. Why the extra year I will never know.) I choose that year myself because it was the year I was in love for the first time. And I was a tad cute then. You know, all I have learned in growing up is that I should have taken advantage of the lack of responsibility that parents/carers gift you with. Coz I'm telling you now, adulthood aint that crazy wonderful. Teens, you think taking the bin out is painful, so is paying bills, holding down a steady, well paying job, watching the welfare of your family 24/7, cleaning and cooking and washing. I want you all to realise something. Our minds are the way they are, from birth. Yes our brains need to learn how to form words, how to write and all the other useless stuff we learn. But essentially, we are the same person. You don't feel old when you age, your body does; it fails us and punishes us for all the life we have lived. But our consciousness is an un-aging entity of knowledge. Basically... I see our souls as being contained by a vessel, that will eventually crack and become weaker, and let our life essence slip into the unknown. We are who we are. We are not better than any other person. We should judge no-one by the vessel that contains them. And the essence of life is having loved and being loved in return, truly. (I sound like i have taken that straight from Disney..). We find supreme knowledge in the happinesses that carry us through hard times and terror and the last dying thought that you have done everything 'humanly' possible to experience both of these things.

I am someone that is pouncing eternally on all those fleeting moments of happiness with people I barely know at all. It may make me seem strange and stalkerish (hahaha) but I am a collector of memories; of all the different versions of happiness, and satisfaction, because its the most revealing thing about someone. It is the things that make them smile, laugh or forget hard times. If I experience happiness with someone, I am akin to something deeper inside them. I know then if there is a similar love concealed within them. A similar fire. So with all that in mind, each and every moment is a lesson, why would anyone want to skip such important lessons and discoveries or muddy them with petty gossip or jealousy? You end up rushing through life or missing the real meaning of love (not life, coz in all reality there is no meaning to life, we are but simple mammals), wishing you could rewind, and dying in terror of all the things left unsaid and undone. Why not take your time? Walk slowly, take in the surroundings, take advantage of the moments that arise, don't fight things that feel right because if something is going to happen, well its going to happen. One way or another. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD IT IN MY MIND THAT AS MUCH AS IT PUTS OTHER PEOPLE OUT, MY PENCHANT FOR SAYING WHATS DEEMED AS 'TOO MUCH' IS ONLY TOO MUCH FOR SOME PEOPLE, NOT ALL OF YOU.. THE THOUGHT OF MOVING THROUGH MY LIFE AND LEAVING ALL THE THINGS I THINK ARE IMPORTANT, UNSAID, LIKE I USED TO WHEN I WAS YOUNG, IS MORE STALLING THAN ANY OTHER HURDLE IN MY LIFE. STOP, CHILDREN, RACING THROUGH THE LEARNING YEARS, FOR YOU WILL FIND THAT AT THE END, YES FASTER YOU WERE, BUT STUPIDER AND MORE SCARED YOU WILL BE WHEN THE LAST BREATH IS DRAWN. WHEN DEATH COMES IT DOESNT STOP TO RECOGNISE YOUR CAREER, YOUR MONEY, OR THE SEX YOU'VE HAD, THE ONLY THING THAT FIGHTS AN EMPTINESS ETERNAL IS THE KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE LIVED A FULL AND LOVING LIFE AND THAT YOU HAVE PASSED ON ENOUGH OF YOURSELF IN YOUR FAMILY, TO LIVE FOREVER..

Micks Passion for Prospecting Unearths

Fascinating Finds

Local prospector, Mick Morris has an extensive collection of historic treasures from his travels. His hobby developed in the 1980s, and since then Mick has travelled extensively across the Hay region, and other parts of Australia. His sweeps of the sites of old pubs or towns have uncovered old pennies, Chinese coins and on one occasion a button form the Red Coat uniform of the British Army. These buttons were in use from 1760 to 1855, when they were replaced by a new style of uniform, so the mind boggles as to how it came to be found on the Hay Plains!

This Month... Can AssistThis Month... Can AssistThis Month... Can AssistThis Month... Can Assist

Can Assist is a cancer assistance network in NSW which has been running for over 55 years. The local Hay branch has been running for approx 18 years caring for country cancer patients. Today there are 50 branches in country NSW with 2,400 volunteers raising funds - the Hay branch has 28 committee members all volunteers working together to raise funds. Each year $1.8 million goes directly to supporting people with cancer in rural NSW

Can Assist has a vision to provide assistance and care to cancer patients and their families, financial assistance for travelling and accommodation. Assistance is also available for any other costs associated with cancer treatment. Accommodation is available in Sydney and Wagga. Lilier Lodge in Wagga is a beautiful 20 double unit facility very similar to a motel, with tea and coffee making facilities in room linen and towels provided. There is a large modern fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals, Gas BBQ in courtyard, large lounge room with TV, DVD & music system, laundry and ironing facilities, Lilier Lodge is a home away from home while receiving cancer treatment.

Hay local branch meet on the 2nd Wednesday of each month, and is a great committee raising funds locally to support our local cancer patients. Some of the best known fundraisers are the annual Hell of a Walk, and Garry May’s infamous head shaves. The committee also organises raffles, has donation tins spread throughout town and is available for catering. All funds raised in Hay stay in Hay.

Secretary of Hay Can Assist Sue Vitucci says “We are unable to approach patients to offer assistance, but if anyone requires assistance they can get info from their Doctor, Hay Hospital, our Community Nurse or any member of Can Assist committee. Our President is Margaret Dodson and Treasurer is Robyn O'Brien.”

The Committee encourage anyone wanting to get involved come along to a meeting, or volunteer your time at a fund raiser or Host an event. They are in the midst of a new publicity campaign, with information segments being aired on 2 HayFM

Top 10 Complaints from Dogs

1. Blaming your farts on me - Not funny 2. Dog sweaters - Hello? Notice the fur? 3. Yelling at me for barking - I’m a damn dog! 4. Taking me for a walk, and then not letting me check stuff out. Whose walk is this anyway? 5. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose - Stop it! 6. Haircuts which involve bows and ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff when you’re not home 7. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog - wooohooo. Great moment for the top of the food chain 8. Taking me to the vet for ‘The Big Snip” then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back 9. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry - I haven’t mastered the handshake thing yet 10. Acting disgusted when I lick myself. C’mon - we both know its jealousy! Please! Lay off me on some of these things - we both know whose the boss here. You don’t see me picking up your poop, do you?

Thursday 15th September 2011

Thursday 15 September, 2011 is R U OK?Day. It’s a national day of action which aims to prevent suicide by encouraging Australians to connect with someone they care about and help stop little problems turning into big ones. On that day we want everyone across the country, from all backgrounds and walks of life, to ask family, friends and colleagues: "Are you OK?". Staying connected with others is crucial to our general health and wellbeing. Feeling isolated or hopeless can contribute to depression and other mental illnesses, which can ultimately result in su ic ide . Regu lar , m e a n i n g f u l conversations can protect those we know and love. It's so simple. In the time it takes to have a coffee, you can start a conversation that could change a life. R U OK? Day enjoyed tremendous success in its inaugural year in 2009. More than 1 million Australians took part in R U OK? conversations and independent research tells us that over 650,000 conversations took place as a result of R U OK?Day. Moreover, 280 workplaces participated in the workplace initiative. In 2010, R U OK?Day generated more than 2 million conversations (AMR Interactive, 2010) and over 700 organisations took place in the R U OK? at Work initiative, including Commonwealth Bank, Rio Tinto,

Queensland Police and Centacare. R U OK? is an independent, not-for-profit organisation whose purpose is to provide national focus and leadership on suicide prevention by empowering Australians to have open and honest conversations and stay connected with people in their lives. More than 2,100 Australians suicide each year and men are around four times more likely to die by suicide than females. R U OK? aims to inspire all Australians to help reduce our suicide rate by reaching out and making contact with others. Most people don't openly share their feelings, particularly when they're struggling so don't wait

for a sign and trust your instincts. A conversation could change a life. The best thing we can all do is regularly ask the people we care about: "Are you OK?"

regardless of whether they are at risk because connection is good for us all.

‘First Aid’ by St John Ambulance Australia is undoubtedly the easiest to use First Aid app on the market. Included in the app are 13 of the most common and critical conditions that require immediate life saving First Aid.

Great FREE games to pass the time. A modern twist on the classis games of S c r a b b l e a n d Hangman, which you can play with both friends or random opponents. Trust me - Very addictive!

Aries Bad luck has been following you like a rogue bean-bag bean. Do not despair. This

month your luck will change dramatically for the better and you will be bored with

nothing to whinge about. For this your friends will be grateful.

Taurus You will have to organise meals this month. This is not unusual, however this month if

you stir everything counter clockwise it will contain less calories. Enjoy this solar

influence on your food as it will soon pass through your sign, leaving it slightly bland.

Gemini Flowers will attract your eye this month, I think this is due to a retrograde presence of

Jupiter in your sign, but I can’t be certain. Neither can you. Are you sure about

anything? Question everything, even the flowers. Someone is out to get you.

Cancer Your emotions will be on high this month. Stop crying over spilt milk and just mop it

up. No one likes a cry baby. Take a deep breath and hold it for as long as you can.

Breathe away all of your stress and hop on one leg. You will look ridiculous but that

serves you right.

Leo This month will see you at your darkest hour. Turn on the light and you will solve the

problem yourself. Keep a supply of light globes handy so you have certainty. Do not

use regular light globes, manufacture your own. You will enjoy the sense of fulfilment.

Virgo It’s your birthday Virgo! Kick off your shoes and dance but do not indulge in birthday

cake. You can’t afford to. You’ve been doing a bit too much indulging and not enough

dancing. Dance, dance, dance like it’s your birthday, your skinny jeans stitching will

love you for it.

Libra It’s time for a change. You’ve been feeling this way for a while now but you’re too

cowardly to step out of your comfort zone. A teaspoon of concrete in your skim

mocha latte will cure this. Be daring and get that piercing you’ve been wanting.

Scorpio Your snap is usually sharper than your sting, but not this month. Calm down before

you hurt someone’s feelings. But if you still feel the need to be a bully, be prepared

for someone to squish your ego like an ant. You will deserve it but you will still act

hard done by. Look inside yourself. You won’t see anything but look anyway.

Sagittarius Romance is in the air, but not at your place, it is next door. Your neighbours will

experience a sensational surge in passion and they will rub it in when you go outside

to check the mail. Request electronic billing to avoid this awkward situation and vent

on Facebook.

Capricorn You’ve been a little cagey Capricorn and it’s time to come clean. Vacuum the crisper in

your refrigerator, it is long overdue. Wipe vegemite under the handle, this will create

a diversion for your family as they will avoid the fridge and therefore messing it up.

They shouldn’t be getting away with it.

Aquarius A mysterious stranger will fill their car with petrol at the same time as you this month.

Do not make eye contact with them, instead twitch and mutter to yourself so they

don’t approach you. Heed this advice or you will pay extra for your petrol. Remember

to reset the trip metre.

Pisces Something has been raining on your parade Pisces. So what? Let it hammer down and

hammer down good, all gardens need water no matter how drought tolerant. If you

are concerned about an issue that has been plaguing your dreams, I can’t help you

with that.
