The Aveley Avengers club currently offers Auskick and Footy Fundamentals programs to more than 100 youngsters aged between two and nine. Next year the club will expand its involvement in the Swan Districts football competition with a junior boys and girls team. This year 46 of the juniors got the chance to play halftime during the final between Fremantle Dockers and Port Adelaide.
Aveley Avengers vice-president Natasha Cheung said the funding from the WA property developers will have a huge impact. She said it will help lift the profile of the club and allow them to keep expanding. Some of the money will go towards purchasing a range of equipment and jumpers for the 2015 season.

A local Aveley family really get into the spirit of things at Halloween (pardon the pun!)
And they bravely invite every-one to join them. An exert from their facebook page reads;
“Join the Marshalls with their family and friends for a fun Spooktacular evening consisting of Spooky Haunted House, Boiling Cauldron Ball Pit, Pass the Pumpkin, Sausage Sizzle and drinks served right out of a Graveyard! Oct 31st Yearly. Games and Haunted House are for 10yrs and under. Trick or Treat!
We are located at Dryden Crescent, Aveley. Trick or treating starts at 5:30pm as does the games and BBQ until dark on the 31st of October. The haunted house will run from 5:30pm to 9pm.
This year one of our rooms is designed for our under 4’s which can be accessed on the side that doesn’t have any of the scary’s! The child age group for the haunted house is aimed at children from 5yrs to 12yrs Parents can go in with their children if they want to. No child will be permitted in the haunted house unless a parent or guardian is here on the night. Feel free to ask any questions.”
What a fantastic community event. I will be taking my two monsters to enjoy the fun. My understanding is that a $10 entry fee is charged and these proceeds go to charity. The Marshalls really do go all out with the decorations. See photos from their website for proof…

An Ellenbrook woman received a death threat in her letter box from a neighbour claiming they would ‘take matters into their own hands’ if her dogs did not stop their continuous barking. The neighbour was caught on camera delivering the note which threatened to kill the dogs if they didn’t stop barking.
The contents of the note was reported to Ellenbrook police. The woman caught on camera was then cautioned by police. The note writer claims the dog owner had taken no notice of written warnings from the City of Swan. The dog owner has stated she did not receive the warnings and that her dogs are good dogs.
City procedures for neighbours to deal with dog complaints can be lengthy. An information pack is provided to the complainant, who can then tick boxes to describe the time and length of the nuisance, after which a letter is sent to the dog owner. If the problem persists, complainants can maintain a logbook, which the City can use to act. The RSPCA encouraged owners to seek training courses if their dog’s barking had become an issue.

The good news is that there is a 90% survival rate for people with CGD who get bone marrow transplants from a suitable donor. So Alex’s father Rob is on a mission to find a suitable donor for Alex and others. He has organised a bone marrow donor drive, with a goal to educate and ask suitable donors to register on the day.
Representatives from the Australian Bone Marrow Donor Registry and a local Elllenbrook bone marrow recipient will speak at the information session to be held at 33 Comserve Loop, Ellenbrook from noon to 4pm on October 26th.
Let’s do what we can to spread this message about a local boy in need of the communities assistance.
