Cat traps are laid

as posted here

THERE are cats in my local area of Beckenham, the whole area from Ladywell Street to Rochester Avenue to be precise.

I am laying traps for the cats that frequently come into my yard and use it as their toilet and hunt for the birds that I feed.

I will be using traps hired from the council and when I catch the offenders I will be taking them to the pound.

I am so fed up with chasing them off my property and picking up what they leave behind, which smells atrocious.

If I wanted to pick that up, I would have had a cat of my own.

Lately, there have been four cats: a large black and white fluffy one, a tortoiseshell patterned one, a large grey fluffy one and a black one; so not just the occasional one.

If your recognise any of these as your cat I suggest you keep it in your yard or, if it goes missing, this will mean it’s at the pound.

You probably say you love these cats, but you allow them to go to other people’s yard to mess, dig up the garden and kill birds that we feed. If you love them so much, then keep them at home.

Gosnells council has no cat laws. All it could offer me was the traps to hire at my expense to rid myself of these cats.

Irresponsible owners just let their cats roam where they want to.

But don’t say you were not warned. I have put up with this for years now and no more.

Perth Heat seraching for third straight title

as posted here

THE Barbagallo Perth Heat will be seeking a third consecutive Claxton Shield championship when the 2010 Claxton Shield season begins in November.

As a new national league edges closer, the Claxton Shield schedule has once again been expanded, with each of the five teams playing 24 regular season games, up from last season’s 16.

The Heat won 12 of their 16 games last season, before defeating the New South Wales Patriots two games to one in the Championship Series.

Former Heat pitcher and Baseball WA Events Manager Shane Tonkin has been promoted to the new position of Barbagallo Perth Heat General Manager and is looking forward to what promises to be an exciting summer of baseball action.

“The Barbagallo Perth Heat have an incredible opportunity to win three consecutive national championships for the first time in franchise history," he said.

"All the local-based players have been working hard with their respective clubs, and our US based players have returned ready to play following their 142-game Minor League seasons.

"Both on and off the field, the Barbagallo Perth HEAT staff and players are very much looking forward to another successful season.”

The Heat’s roster has remained largely intact from last season, with Canberra-based outfielder Nick Kimpton returning to the side and looking to replicate the form that won him last season’s Helms Award, for the competition’s Most Valuable Player.

Also returning is infielder and Morley local Luke Hughes, who is aiming for a spot on the Minnesota Twins roster for the opening of the 2010 Major League Baseball season.

The Heat's season begins this Thursday, when they take on South Australia in Kalgoorlie, before returning to Perth for games on Friday and Saturday at Baseball Park, Thornlie.

as posted here

AN associate of the God's Garbage outlaw motorcycle gang has been charged over a violent attack during a dispute about motorcycle repairs.

Police alleged that on Sunday the 24-year-old Armadale man attended the victim’s address in Maddington and demanded the victim pay for his motorbike repairs after an accident some weeks earlier.
When the victim refused to pay, the accused allegedly repeatedly punched and kicked him, causing him to suffer numerous cuts, abrasions and bruising which required medical attention.
Police will also allege that some weeks before Sunday's assault, the accused first attended the victim’s address and demanded money to repair his damaged motorcycle, which was involved in a traffic accident with the 49-year-old victim’s son.
The man allegedly made threats to the complainant and his family, telling the family of his bikie association.
The man is due to appear in the Armadale Magistrates Court on Friday to face charges of assault occasioning bodily harm and threats with intent to influence.
