Community Watch programme

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 05:00:07 +0000

Are you interested?
This initiative has been suggested by members of the new Warradale Community Action Association Inc. to cut down on crime and anti social behaviour. It is a program to be run by the community which means YOU.
YOU have to call the police Emergency 000 St Marys police 9677 7499
YOU have to watch and gather information and descriptions of vehicles, offender,and the offence.
YOU have to write the information down and give to the police. This can lead to the arrest and charging of people responsible for crime and anti social behaviour.
The group will support you if you are a witness, victim or informant. This means being with you during police interviews, going to court with you if it gets that far, talking or visiting you if you are afraid and just helping,
This is not a vigilante group – it is a Community Watch Group
The group needs ideas and suggestions to make it work. If you are interested in helping to cut down on crime and anti social behaviour, please contact 0407 674 478 or 0414 868 535

Yet another cemetery planned for Greendale

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 04:58:57 +0000

Residents in Greendale, Wallacia and Bringelly were very concerned about the proposal to to build a multi denominational cemetery on Greendale Road with 70,000 graves, a flower shop and a cafe. Stage 2 includes a crematorium.
However yet another application has been made for a crematorium on Greendale Road with a temple, facilities for meditation, and dormitary accomodation, with parking for 191 cars.
The first application for a burial ground at the Bringelly end of Greendale Road is still being considered and there are two other outstanding applications for cemeteries at Rossmore, making 5 new cemeteries in the area.
Local residents are concerned about the traffic, pollution of the environment and the change in lifestyle from rural living to commercial enterprise.
A Rural Residents Rights group has been set up and there is a meeting at Wallacia Church Hall (next door to the Fire Station) in Park Rd Wallacia Wednesday 16th June 7.30 pm
It is to inform residents of progress and explain the council system, to discuss current submissions and a planned mass attendance to Liverpool Council Meeting on 21 June where they intend to lobby the meeting.
Councillors have been invited. Submissions can be emailed to:
nogreendalecemetery@hotmail.com for forwarding on to council.

Watoto Children’s Choir

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 04:39:18 +0000

On 27th May the students of Holy Family school were treated to a wonderful cultural experience when the Watoto Children’s Choir visited.
The Watoto Choir is from Uganda in Eastern Africa and is made up of children who have been orphaned through war, poverty and disease.
The motto for Watoto is Rescue, Raise and Rebuild which refers to the way the child’s lives are rescued, they are raised in a loving family and then they can go on to rebuild their lives and ultimately their country.
The children from the choir performed two songs for the students of Holy Family and our school choir sang a song of welcome to the choir.
The Watoto group performed a spectacularly colourful and very memorable concert for an enthusiastic audience during the evening in the Holy Family Catholic Church. The concert was a message of hope for all people and a triumph of the human spirit.
Many of the children spent the Thursday night with sponsor families from the school community, which further added to the cultural experience for these families.
