    317 in 2011. Most weapons and explosives oences in the year to September 30, 2015 involved people possessing prohibited or controlled weapons. Prohibited weapons include swords, knuckle-dusters and capsicum spray, while controlled weapons include items such as kitchen knives and machetes.

    Fires might be started from discarded cigarettes from cars - Geraldine Porter

    By Samantha Walker

    Hume is the number one municipality in the state for arson, weapons and explosives, and stalking oences, according to newly released Crime Statistics Agency gures.

    ere were 217 crimes involving arson in Hume in the 12 months to September 30 last year, 860 weapons and explosives oences, and 632 oences involving stalking, harassment or threatening behaviour.

    e number of arson cases in Hume in the same year was 30 per cent higher than the

    second-closest contender, Greater Geelong, which had 165 oences.

    Broadmeadows polices Acting Inspector Geraldine Porter said the high rate of arson could be partly explained by Hume being a high re-risk area, with major roads passing through leafy suburbs such as Sunbury.

    Fires might be started from discarded cigarettes from cars, but then youll get the ones that will be intentionally lit, Acting Inspector Porter said.

    Weapons and explosives crimes have almost tripled over the past four years, climbing from

    ere were also 69 cases where people with no gun licence, or those prohibited from holding one, were found in possession of a rearm.

    Oences involving stalking, harassment or threatening behaviour surged in Hume over four years, with the most recent annual gures showing an 80 per cent jump on the 354 oences in 2011.

    Across the state, crime was up six per cent on the year before. In Hume, drug use and possession crimes have almost doubled since 2014: up to 942 oences from 512.

    Arson, weapons a Hume scourge

    Hume was the only municipality in the state where no one was caught driving under the inuence of drugs or alcohol during a police blitz on drivers over the Christmas holiday period.

    e crackdown ran from December 13 to January 3, with police conrming Hume had experienced among the highest policing levels in the state.

    Broadmeadows police acting inspector Geraldine Porter said the Hume result was good news.

    We got great results and thats something were working hard on in relation to road trauma, she said.

    Across Victoria, 914 people were caught driving above the legal blood- alcohol limit, while 606 were caught with drugs in their system during the Christmas period.

    Four people blew over the legal blood- alcohol limit in Whittlesea, but no drivers were caught with drugs in their system in the municipality.

    Statewide, the most common oence in the holiday period was speeding, with more than 7500 motorists exceeding speed limits.

    In Hume, 29 people were caught speeding during the police blitz and three were apprehended in Whittlesea.

    Victoria Police assistant commissioner Doug Fryer said the number of people caught speeding in Victoria in the holidays was a concern.

    Its always disappointing to see people caring more about getting somewhere quickly than getting there at all, he said.

    He said 12 people died on Victorian roads during the course of the blitz.

    Sober Hume drivers impress

    An electrical fault in a tractor is believed to have started the large re at a tyre dump in Broadmeadows that blanketed the area in black smoke.

    e re last week incinerated about 150,000 tyres, which was about 80 per cent of tyres at the sites 100-metre long, 30-metre wide and four-metre tall tyre dump on Maygar Boulevard.

    Fireghters gave the all-clear aer extinguishing the re last ursday and handed the Tyre Crumb tyre dump back to its owners.

    Tractor factor in Broadmeadows ree blaze started just before 9am on January

    11, sending up plumes of black smoke, which could be seen as far away as Mornington, 80 kilometres distant.

    At the res peak, reghters were pouring 10,000 litres of water and re retardant a minute onto it and using water-bombing helicopters usually reserved for ghting bushres.

    A lake in nearby Jack Roper Reserve remains closed due to run-o from the re-ghting eorts. Melbourne Water has warned residents to avoid all contact with the water and at this

    stage its unclear how long the lake may remain unsafe.

    Smoke from the re was considered to be toxic. e Environment Protection Authority monitored air quality in the area but is yet to release the results.

    e Department of Health and Human Services has released a fact sheet related to the re that states, a single exposure to tyre smoke is not likely to cause long-term [health] eects.

    Hume council is facing a dilemma about what services and projects may need to be chopped from its next budget, aer the state government passed legislation capping rate increases last month.

    e government will peg rate rises to the consumer price index (CPI) from this year, with increases beyond this needing a green light from the Essential Services Commission.

    In May last year, the council said it would lose $37 million over four years if rates

    31 to do so. But Sunbury Residents Association president Bernie OFarrell said the groups members wholeheartedly supported capping rate increases and would be violently opposed to council raising rates above CPI.

    We believe they should be able to cut their costs to suit the circumstances, Mr OFarrell said.

    In a submission to the ESC last August, Hume council said it would seek an exemption from rate-capping measures for two years.It said at the time this was due to the resourcing constraints and uncertainty the

    were capped to the CPI. Hume mayor Helen Patsikatheodorou said the cutbacks to future revenue had the potential to impact infrastructure projects and services with ongoing expenses.

    Its going to be really dicult to decide what we can do without, Cr Patsikatheodorou said.

    Were in a bit of a dilemma, but whatever decision we make is going to be the best we can for our community, she said.

    Cr Patsikatheodorou said the council had not yet decided whether it would apply for a rate increase above the cap; it has until March

    possible formation of a new Sunbury council had caused. But the ESC told Star Weekly it had Star Weekly it had Star Weeklynot received any applications for a higher rate rise from Hume council as yet.

    Mr OFarrell said blaming budgeting diculties on the costs of Humes potential split with Sunbury was a cop out.

    I dont see what the relevance is of possible separation of Sunbury from Hume for their ability to make these decisions, he said.

    Hume chief executive Domenic Isola said the council would contemplate its options with respect to rate capping.

    Council dilemma over service cuts

    Doreen resident Hayley Tuck hadnt ridden a bicycle for almost 20 years until a few months ago.

    But last ursday she nished a gruelling 840-kilometre ride from Torquay to Adelaide to raise money for a childrens charity.

    Ms Tuck said the rst day of the ride was quite tricky aer she injured her shoulder falling from her bike the day before, during a pre-ride tour of Torquay.

    I was really quite depleted on the rst day, thinking, if its going to be this hard for the next ve days, I just dont know that Im going to be able to get there.

    But aer nishing the marathon six-day ride last week, Ms Tuck said it was denitely all worth it.

    She was inspired to take on the challenge aer watching a woman who walked with a cane complete it last year.

    I thought to myself, if she can do it, I dont

    really have an excuse not to try. For the past few months, Ms Tuck trained three to four times a week for the event, tting in her cycling around her three-year-old daughters schedule.

    I leave some mornings around 5.30 and train for three hours to get back home just as shes waking up.

    Ms Tuck said the 30 riders taking part this year had raised at least $40,000.

    e money will go to the Herbalife Family Foundation, which helps charities provide healthy food and accommodation to children in need.

    Fellow Doreen resident David Biondo also took part in the charity ride.

    Families may be dropping their kids o in the dark of winter if a proposed school bus route connecting Mernda to Diamond Valley College becomes permanent.

    A new Public Transport Victoria bus is due to replace the charter bus that ran through the area until the end of the last school year, with the new service starting on January 28.

    A potential route for the new bus was released, but parents were told the route may still change aer negotiations with the bus company.

    A Mernda mother, whose daughter attends Diamond Valley College and who asked not to be named, said her child would have to be at the new bus stop two kilometres away by 7.15am.

    e bus wont come through Mernda village at all and itll be an hour earlier, so the kids will have to get up an hour earlier, she said.

    I also have a younger child, so do I have to get that young child up, do I have to get him in the car, or can I leave him at home for the ve to 10 minutes it will take me to go down there and come back?

    e mother said about 15 students in her daughters year level alone also lived in the Mernda area aected by bus route changes.

    Sixty-one students used the charter bus service last year en route from South Morang to the college.

    e introduction of the new route, which will use myki ticketing, follows the

    announcement of capped annual fares of $480 on school buses operating under the governments School Bus Program.

    Under the old ticketing system, parents whose children didnt attend their closest government school paid a bus fare based on the distance to the school they attended in some cases as much as $1240 a year.

    e new PTV-run bus will require parents to pay a myki fare of $526.50 a year for each child, instead of up to $1240 a year per child under the old system.

    One mother from Mernda said that although the new PTV bus would be cheaper for her child to use than the one she paid for last year, the new route would be inconvenient.

    Its still denitely cheaper, but its a public bus and its not coming through the estate, she said.

    A spokesman for the Victorian government said the charter bus service was only ever intended as a short-term measure.

    Parents will be informed of the changes in late January ahead of school returning, he said.

    e charter bus may run alongside the new PTV service at the start of the year to ensure no kids miss out on getting to school.

    Bus cheaper, but too early

    Zinc up like Andrew Symon, whack on an Akubra like Harry Butler, dust off the

    green-and-gold trackie top, wave the Aussie ag and tuck a lamington in your pocket. Yep,

    all over the land people are choosing these symbols, a mix of ofcial insignia and other

    humble items, to capture essential Aussie-ness on Australia Day.

    How did lamingtons become the days iconic food? We know their recipe was rst published

    in the year of Federation (1901) so that sounds like a promising answer. But it could as

    easily be that they were something the worst (or busiest) home cook could manage, so trays

    of the chocolate-coconut-smothered square cakes began to turn up at every bring-a-plate

    function. It may be that no function was complete without a plate of lamingtons. And

    then perhaps good cooks got competitive and top lamingtons started winning prizes. Their

    subsequent ubiquitousness went on to cement their place in the Aussie psyche, serving subsequent ubiquitousness went on to cement their place in the Aussie psyche, serving

    perhaps as a nostalgic echo of simpler days.perhaps as a nostalgic echo of simpler days.

    Our Goal Is To No Longer Be NeededVictorian Dog Rescue & Resource Group Inc (VicDRG) has been proactive in animal welfare since 2006. We are a not for prot organisation and registered charity whose goal is to stop the killing in pounds and shelters, by helping our companion animals in need, and promoting responsible pet ownership. Every eort is made to retrain dogs and cats that have been unfortunate enough to have a neglected background. We will keep a dog or cat in our care for as long as it takes. If we do not have a suitable foster carer we will hold them at commercial kennels until one is found. Please help our organisation continue doing what we do by adopting these beautiful pets.

    As adoption of our beautiful furry friends is a lifetime commitment, there is an adoption process which includes a meet and greet, a property check and an adoption fee.

    Are you a senior, have a health problem and cant keep your pet? There are alternatives to the pound please contact us

    SPORT

    Plenty Valleys womens cricket program is one that shows playing sport is sometimes more than just results.

    While they have struggled to put together wins in Premier Cricket in the past few seasons, the Bats have excelled at ensuring junior talent gets opportunities to play against the best in the state and country.

    Captain Kirsty Lamb is at the forefront of that, playing for Vic Spirit and now the Melbourne Renegades in the inaugural Womens Big Bash.

    Following in her footsteps is a talented group of youngsters.

    Five of those girls, Tayla Vlaeminck, Hope Irvine, Rhiann ODonnell, Jessica Karamoshou and Sophie Van De Heuvel have been playing in the under-18 national championships in Canberra.

    Senior Bats player Claudia Fatone said it was no surprise to see the girls succeeding on the national stage.

    Its a fantastic opportunity to get away and compete against the best in the country in their age group, she said.

    e girls are really excited and its good for their cricket and they can bring what theyve learnt back to Plenty Valley.

    Being able to represent their state will give them condence to perform across the board.

    Fatone, the rst woman elected to the Cricket Victoria Board, said that having the likes of Lamb and English international Danni Wyatt helped develop younger players.

    Its always good to have role models for the girls, she said.

    Danni has been fantastic working with the young girls.

    e girls have loved having an international player in the side.

    e development in the Bats hasnt just been in the top side, but across the board.

    Our First XI hasnt been getting the results, but theyve been close, Fatone said. eyre missing that little bit of experience.

    e Second XI has done really well and has got more wins than last year.

    Its the second year weve had three teams and were lling them comfortably. Girls want to play cricket.

    e Bats challenge now is to continue the progress made in the last couple of years.

    Each year it is about getting the best coaches and doing the right training, Fatone said.

    Lyndall Daley has been fantastic, as has Laura Cros, who is from England, and Natasha Noblett. eyve all been really good for the girls development.

    We need to reassess at the end of each season and keep on challenging the girls.

    On Saturday, the Bats lost to Essendon in a T20 match at Maribyrnong Park.

    Needing 115 for victory the Bats could reach only 7-104 in their 20 overs.

    e Craigieburn Eagles will continue the sides recent focus on an injection of youth when they take on womens Big V division 1 basketball this year.

    e Eagles last year brought some fresh young faces in and will do the same this year aer several experienced players have indicated they will not return.

    Eagles coach Rod Sweeney said a few players had retired while others had moved away from the area.

    Eliza Stylianou, Jess Boyd and Jessica Piroski arent coming back, he said. ey are players out of our leadership group and players well miss. Last season our average age was 29. We will be back to the low-to-mid 20s. It will be a younger team and there lies the excitement for this season.

    Sweeney said that while the club was looking to bring a couple of players into the side from outside, a lot of the focus was on young players coming through the ranks.

    Rebecca Hassell has stepped up from youth league, as has Emma Pullen, who is an exciting shooter, he said.

    Maddison Campbell has college experience and is injury free so were looking forward to her taking the next step. She isnt even 21.

    Tahlia Prestia is another who will be able to play a more signicant role.

    While the Eagles have lost some experience, they regain one of their most experienced players, Kellie Bailey-Lynn.

    Bailey-Lynn, who was assistant coach last season aer having her second child, is one of two Eagles women players to have played 300 Big V games.

    Kellie is an amazing athlete, Sweeney said. She hasnt lost her speed and has a great deal of knowledge.

    Sweeney said that o-court, a tighter relationship between the clubs four Big V teams was a good sign for the future.

    Its exciting for us as a club to have the four teams working really well together, he said. ey are working together as one group for fundraising and sponsorship. When youve got players wanting to be involved like that it makes for an exciting future.

    Sweeney said making nals was the aim for the womens side, which nished 10th last year.

    If we dont it doesnt mean that it is a failure of a season, he said. e plan just might take another year.

    Youth to drive Eagles in Big V

    City looks to secure its futureBy Tara Murray

    Hume Citys 2015 season exceeded all expectations and the club is now looking to build on that in 2016.

    City made the semi-nals in all three competitions it competed in the NPL, the Dockerty Cup and the nationwide FFA Cup.

    But coach Lou Acevski said there was no expectation or pressure to achieve the same results this year.

    Im not looking to beat last year, he said. Im looking at trying to get the best out

    of this group. Dont get me wrong, last year was great making the semi-nals in each

    competition, but not winning anything wasnt fantastic.

    We want to cement our spot as a strong club and we still have a long way to go to achieve that. It was never a one-year plan.

    Citys success last year meant the clubs usual 10-week o-season was reduced to just over four weeks.

    Were used to having a decent break at this level, Acevski said. Weve come back in a short turnaround and weve had to alter our pre-season to ensure were right for round one.

    Its dicult to adjust, to make sure we have the right workload and to keep the boys as fresh as possible.

    Acevski said that despite the short turnaround the players were keen to get back into it.

    So far its been very good and I can see the boys who were with us last year are very excited to see where this year goes, he said.

    eyre working hard. e new players are tting in well and it will take them a little time to adjust to playing with us.

    City has been busy in the o-season adding several players to the squad, including Tom Cahill, Michael Trigger, Daniel Visevic, Fraser Chalmers, Ko Danning and Jeremy Waller.

    Weve got in a lot of attacking options, a couple of strikers and a couple of attacking

    midelders Acevski said. Its something weve been lacking since Ive been coaching.

    e signs are looking good at the moment. We have added some quality and were

    looking forward to watching them all. But there were also some o-season losses,

    with four key players leaving the club.Jai Ingham has joined A-League powerhouse

    Melbourne Victory, while Matthew Hennessey has joined the clubs youth side.

    Marcus Schroen has joined fellow NPL side South Melbourne and Shaun Timms isnt coming back from England.

    City plays its rst game of the NPL season against Richmond on February 20.
