    IT TOOK years of negotiations for Somerville to fi nally getting a new avenue of honour and just minutes of senseless vandalism to tear it down.

    The vandals struck last Friday night, uprooting trees and pickets planted along Station St less than a month before.

    Cr Lynn Bowden expressed dis-gust and disappointment and called for witnesses to contact Hastings po-lice. On Saturday, members of Hast-ings RSL helped Cr Bowden replace the trees that had been in the ground since 16 May.

    It was very distressing to fi nd out that a number of the trees and pickets

    had been ripped up and strewn around the area, Cr Bowden said.

    Fortunately I was able to get the support of Hastings RSL members who came out early on Saturday morning to help me tidy up and re-plant the trees.

    Cr Bowden hoped the culprits would be caught, so that the signifi -cance of the avenue of honour could be explained to them.

    You have to wonder if they even know what the avenue of honour stands for, Cr Bowden said.

    Its despicable to think someone could vandalise such an important reminder of the sacrifi ces Australians

    made in war to protect the freedom we enjoy today.

    If anyone noticed any suspicious activity in the area on Friday night, I would encourage them to contact the Hastings police station.

    The original avenue was planted in 1917 and stretched about 600 metres from the roundabouts, past the pri-mary school and down to Alfred St, which runs through to Guelph St.

    Plane trees were also planted in Station St, on the other side of the railway line. Some still exist. Under each trees was a plaque honouring the 82 Somerville men who served in the First World War.

    When Eramosa Rd East was wid-ened and modernised for the grow-ing shopping centre in the early 1970s, the Shire of Hastings removed the plaques and chopped down the trees.

    Cr Bowden said the avenue of hon-our would start at the corner of Sta-tion St and Eramosa Road West, ex-tending along Station St into Jones Rd to the corner of George St.

    Re-replanting: Ellen Taylor, Lynn Bowden, Hastings RSL president Keiren Gallagher, committee member Gary Tay-lor and past vice-president Ken Barley replant some of the uprooted trees at the Somerville Avenue of Honour.

    GROWING opposite Hastings foreshore, this unusual looking fungus could easily be mistaken for an octopus.

    However, Vicki Davis knew better. The holder of a Certifi cate 3 in horticulture and a keen home gardener, Ms Davis in-vestigated and discovered that what ap-peared to be a decomposing sea dweller was, in fact, Anthurus archeri, or octopus stinkhorn.

    It was growing among tanbark next to a power substation near High St.

    However, its resemblance to rotting fl esh is not lost on the fl ies, which are at-tracted by its smell of rotting fl esh.

    Offi cially a mushroom, the eggs of the fungus are said to taste and smell like rad-ish but is recommended eating only in a wilderness survival circumstance when no other food is available. In other cases, it is considered inedible.

    The unwitting fl ies carry and spread its spores, helping spread the octopus stinkhorn and ensure its survival.

    The fungus is indigenous to Australia and has been introduced to Europe and the United States.

    Its fi rst appearance in France was at-tributed to spores carried in bales of wool from Australia.

    Ms Davis, raised on a farm in New South Wales, said she had not previously seen the fungus although she was familiar with different plant species.

    She sells several kinds of potted native plants including grevilleas, correas and calistamons and can be contacted on 0405 547 860.

    By Tony DuboudinSOMERS Yacht Club was turned into a full-blown command post for the national Sea Dragon 2 pollution pre-paredness exercise on Tuesday and Wednesday last week.

    The exercise involved about 200 people from Victoria, New South Wales, Canberra and South Australia and was designed to test national read-iness to deal with major oil and other pollution spills.

    Sea Dragon was conducted by the Australian Maritime Safety Author-ity and the Victorian Department of Transport with support from the Aus-tralian Marine Oil Spills Centre.

    A mock marine pollution scenario saw wooden replicas of penguins and other marine birds placed on the beach in front of the yacht club before being treated to a clean-up process.

    A helicopter tracked an imaginary oil spill and dropped dispersant. Boats were also involved and they were brought in from their base at Stony Point.

    The yacht club boatyard had an in-fl atable hospital set up complete with its own generator to drive the air-conditioning while nearby was a ani-mal cleaning station.

    The cleaning station a converted shipping container purpose-built in New Zealand and the only one of its kind in Australia was driven on its special crane-equipped truck from Sydney. It is owned by the NSW De-partment of Transport and operated by Sydney Port Corporation.

    It is equipped with special tables and overhead water hoses that disperse a

    mix of warm water, heated by the sta-tions own self-contained equipment, and cleaning agent that is used to clean affected animals, which are then moved to another section of the sta-tion to be dried off. The station retains all its own waste liquid, which is then properly disposed of after an operation is completed.

    The yacht club provided volunteers to assist in the running of the exercise while the clubs chef, Vic Crust, feed participants with breakfast each morn-ing from 7am as well as lunch.

    Somers Yacht Clubs safety offi cer and former commodore Norm Dewar said the exercise was an eye-opener for many people.

    The amount of equipment and the skills of the various organisations tak-ing part was impressive. I also think that they learned a lot from the ex-ercise and members of the club were able to provide the organisers with a wealth of local knowledge, he said.

    The Federal Minister for Infrastruc-ture and Transport, Anthony Albanese, said that vigilance and preparedness was the best protection against any pollution threat.

    Australia has some of the most pristine coastal waters on the planet and oil spillage from damaged ships has the capacity to wreak massive en-vironmental damage, he said.

    Exercise Sea Dragon is a great ex-ample of cross-agency collaboration as we test our ability to handle a pollution spill.

    Ports Minister Denis Napthine said: It allows us to test our preparedness and identify areas for improvement.

    the national plan to combat pollution of the sea by oil and other hazardous

    and noxious substances.

    By Mike HastTHE Solomon Lew pool saga is near the end after the Department of Sus-tainability and Environment last week approved plans for the pools removal.The works will also see remediation of Crown land on which the horizon pool, a retaining wall, fence and landscaping had been placed.

    The $400,000 pool was built on the foreshore adjoining the Lew family holiday property in Osprey Ave, Mt Eliza, in 2010 and 2011 with neigh-bours being told by workmen they were installing water tanks.

    The pool area has a spectacular view

    of Port Phillip and Mornington har-bour in the distance.

    In late May the existence of the pool was revealed by the Sunday Age, which reported Mr Lew and his daugh-ter Jacqueline Lew, through a family company called Shuttlehall Pty Ltd, had been given 14 days to explain to Mornington Peninsula Shire why the horizon pool had been built on Crown land without a planning permit.

    Last August, the shire ordered the demolition of the pool within 21 days under the Building Act. It was drained on Friday 12 August.

    Then followed months of negotia-

    tions, with Mr Lew fi rst trying to buy the Crown land from DSE, which was refused after lobbying by Mornington MP David Morris among others, and then offering to lease the land from the shire, which manages it on behalf of DSE.

    The land along the cliff tops of Moondah and Sunnyside beaches was rezoned by the council in 2006 to public use and residential.

    It was reported that Mr Lews law-yers, Schetzer Brott and Appel, offered the shire an initial lease payment of $250,000 with annual instalments of $50,000 for 19 years.

    Last September, the Building Ap-peals Board refused a retrospective building permit for the pool after cracks were discovered in the retaining wall. The shire closed parts of Moon-dah Beach over fears the land would subside.

    Last week DSE approved plans for the pools removal that had been sub-mitted by Mr Lews engineers.

    Mt Eliza Ward councillor Leigh Eu-stace said it was a win for rate payers, the shire and the people of Victoria who own Crown land.

    The work will be done at no cost to ratepayers, he said.

    Cr Eustace confi rmed reports the Lew family would pay the shires legal fees of about $150,000 and $50,000 to a registered charity of the shires choosing.

    The matter was due to go to Frankston Magistrates Court on 14 December, but a deal was struck be-forehand.

    It has taken since then for the shire, DSE and the Lew family to agree terms on the pools removal and reme-diation of the land.

    Last Thursday, David Morris issued a coy press release headed Mt Eliza foreshore. In it he stated: Morning-ton MP David Morris has welcomed the decision of the Department of Sustainability and Environment to pro vide Coastal Management Act con-sent to the land manager (Morn ington Peninsula Shire Council) in relation to Moondah Reserve.

    The decision brings to a conclusion an unfortunate episode, and ensures that the construction of a private build-ing or other asset on public land does not provide an excuse for alienation of that land for private purposes.

    On Tuesday, the shires communi-cations manager Todd Trimble said a schedule for the demolition and reme-diation had not been set.

    KEEN members of the public and ob-servers from the Mornington Peninsu-la Astronomical Society had a stellar view of the transit of Venus across the face of the sun last Wednesday.

    Victoria was regarded as being in a perfect position to witness the entire rare phenomenon, while many places on Earth missed out.

    You could say we were lucky enough to watch a goddess on the mountain top, society secretary Peter Skilton said.

    Mr Skilton and other members of the society watched the event from Mt Martha through a battery of solar telescopes.

    In Roman mythology, Venus was the goddess of love and is usually a planet that most people know as be-ing a very bright object shining in the dawn or dusk sky, he said.

    This time it was in broad daylight and over a period of almost seven hours, with the dark silhouette of Ve-nus silently creeping across the sun.

    At the societys observatory at The Briars Park in Mt Martha, specialised solar telescopes watched and photo-graphed the phenomenon.

    From the crack of dawn, members eagerly awaited Venus taking its fi rst tiny bite out of the side of the sun, Mr Skilton said.

    This unmistakeable fi rst contact soon after 8am was clearly visible and sparked a fl urry of activity as the sun was merely a few fi nger widths above the east horizon.

    Half an hour later, Venus reached the point of being fully immersed. Un-

    Up close: Peter Skilton, above, observing the transit of Venus across the sun at The Briars in Mt Martha. Picture: Brett BajadaAs Venus began exiting the bottom left side of the sun, left, it was captured in this image by Mornington Peninsula Astronomical Society member Paula Ritchens at Cranbourne as the planet just kissed the side of the sun, leading to theso-called tear drop effect in the tiny gap. Her close-up photograph also shows a group of smaller sunspots.

    Sightseers drawn to VenusSightseers drawn to Venus

    fortunately cloud and even drizzle en-croached around this point of second contact, although members in Frank-ston, Cranbourne and Dandenong re-ported seeing it unimpeded.

    Good views of Venus were had throughout the morning from The Bri-ars site, until heavy cloud interfered around midday, preventing witness-ing Venus leaving the face of the sun before 3pm, not to return again for an-other 105 years.

    Mr Skilton said some members of the society went to the NSW border

    just to increase their chances of get-ting clearer skies.

    Historically, transits of Venus are well known. James Cook sailed to Tahiti in the Endeavour in June 1769 to witness the one predicted that year, then after that opened Admiralty orders that set him on a voyage of discovery to Australia, he said.

    His observations of Venus crossing the sun were vital for scientists to cal-culate the size of the solar system for the fi rst time.

    In our region there has been a long

    association with Venus transits. In 1874, Professor William Parkinson Wilson of the University of Melbourne led a small team that observed the event from near his home in Morning-ton.

    It was recognised that the weather on the Mornington Peninsula was of-ten very different to that experienced at the observatory in Melbourne, so a far-fl ung output in the distant country-side was a precaution against missing the event altogether if cloud or rain in-terfered in the city.

    Whether he was a casualty or not of witnessing a Venus transit with all its excitement and danger, sadly he sud-denly died two days later.

    Mr Skilton said that as far as I know, all of our observing members were safely accounted for after wit-nessing this particular Venus transit.

    The societys next public telescope night will be from 8pm at The Briars on Friday 6 July. Bookings: 0419 253 252 or [email protected]

    THE Emus are aghast. Emu has rarely seen his bride aghaster. It is an emotion to which he himself has never previ-ously been martyr.

    Phlegmatic, stiff upper beak; thats more his mtier. But now he is aghast, because Mrs Emu told him he is.

    They have just read the shire coun-cil plan to ban backyard burning, as well as proposing enormous fi nes on people who light up anyway, as well as to heavily fi ne dog owners who dont pick up after their pets, or fail to report a loose wheel on their shire waste bins.

    Mrs Emu is reduced to a strangled squawk. So much for our nest egg, she wheezes heavily. She knows she will fall foul of these laws. And she knows he knows.

    Emu calculates the possible fallout from her cavalier approach to walkies with the two retrievers. Fallout indeed. She routinely ignores her duty to re-trieve on the retrievers behalves.

    At $1250 per dog per bodily func-tion, thats $2500 for a start, he thinks, and shes barely left the property. Good thing Fido and Frou-Frou wont be fi ned for peeing on posts.

    A faulty bin, at $2500 an offence, doubles the dog fi ne, and her pyro-maniacal penchant for a nice little au-

    tumn leaf blaze (another $2500) brings the total to $7500. Thats just the fi rst morning of the fi rst day.

    Emu plunges into a deep gloom. Shes right about the nest egg. His blushing bride will obliterate it in mere weeks.

    There is probably a bright side to the bin fi ne, though. If the thing is stolen it would probably be cheaper to buy a new one without troubling the shire. But then, not telling the shire is prob-ably an offence, too, attracting an even bigger penalty.

    Councillors apparently have also endorsed a $2500 fi ne for failing to destroy nests of European wasps, Emu notes, and for the heinous crime of videoing or recording a council com-

    mittee at work youll have to cough up another $1250. And, whatever you do, abstain from taking alcohol to the beach.

    Emu wonders if the shire will fi ne itself in the case of wasps found nest-ing on its land and trespassing on to private land.

    These fi nes are stiffer than being convicted of causing an affray or driv-ing dangerously, Mrs Emu huffs in-dignantly, just for a faulty council bin. You can start a punch-up at the MCG and be fi ned less. Have they gone mad down at the council?

    Emu nods sadly. He can only con-clude that the shire, in its desperate search for money, has found several new rich veins of revenue pooches

    have become cash cows and a single unroadworthy bin will reap more than a glovebox full of parking fi nes.

    So be warned: stay alert for suspi-cious idlers eyeing off your rubbish receptacles or searching the air around your house for wasps and plumes of smoke. Soon theyll be lurking every-where.

    You might ask the shire if it is sell-ing pooper-scoopers to help save you money (unlikely).

    Also ask for information on where it is locating doggie doo receptacles in which to deposit doggie deposits. And ask if they can recommend a mechanic to roadworthy your wheelie bins.

    If all that fails, ask for time to pay.

    Unroadworthy bin? Thats a Unroadworthy bin? Thats a $$2500 fine, thanks2500 fine, thanks

    Digital art to light up a citys nightDigital art to light up a citys nightBUILDINGS in Frankston are about to take on a new, transforming light.

    Each night from Saturday 23 June to Saturday 7 July digital artworks will be projected onto the outside of some struc-tures while others will be transformed from within.

    Other digital images will be visible from smart phones through a special app.

    Free guided tours will be available for the exUrbanScreens exhibition or viewers can make their way along the route to see the art for themselves.

    This will be an extraordinary experi-ence that all the community will enjoy and be proud of a fi rst for Frankston. exUr-banScreens is an opportunity for families

    and people of all ages to experience and enjoy our great city at night, the mayor Cr Brian Cunial said.

    The exhibition curated by Vince Dziekan and Matthew Perkins is a collaboration by Frankston Arts Centre, the council and Monash University, and produced by Mer-ryn Tinkler.

    The digital galleries at the arts centres Cube 37 are the hub of the exhibition (Is there) Light in outer space? with other locations across the city centre, including along Young and Wells streets.

    A major projection by Ian de Gruchy will transform the east and north sides of the Peninsula Centre, turning what is gener-ally seen as an ugly building into a three-

    dimensional work of art.Other works are by international artists

    who have exhibited at the Venice Biennale as well as younger artists who have been participating in Saturday workshops dur-ing the year.

    The free guided tours that start from Cube 37 (next to the arts centre in Davey St) are at at 6pm on Saturday 23 June, Thursday 28 June, Thursday 5 July and Saturday 7 July. For bookings call 9784 1060.

    Light waves: Digital art depicting the tsunami that hit Japan in March 2011 by British artist Kit Wise uses images taken by the American military to explore the relationship between disaster, spectacle and the viewer.

    After several visits to the hospital with his eld-erly mother, Mr McDonald returned with fl uffy pillows.

    Frankston Hospital has really fantastic staff, who are fl at out caring for patients and doing a great job. I just thought that a few extra pillows here and there would really help out, said Mr

    McDonald, managing director of Frankston-based Market Metrics.

    Clinical director of emergency ser vices Dr Helen Hewitt said the pillows would help in busy times.

    There will be many purposes for the pillows and the more we have the better.

    The donation by Joe McDonald and his staff is a heartfelt one. Their enthusiasm to make a differ-ence is inspiring.

    Western PortWHEELS ONHOLDEN will expand its SUV portfolio with the launch of an all-new small sport utility vehicle, the Holden Trax, in 2013.

    With room for fi ve passengers, plenty of cargo space and class-leading technology, Trax is a global car that will be sold in more than 140 markets around the world.

    Executive director of sales, marketing and aftersales John Elsworth said Trax would be an important entry for Holden into the increasingly popular small SUV segment, which had grown 57.3 per cent year to date over last year.

    Trax will deliver the fl exibility, great fuel economy, advanced safety features and car-like handling that more and more customers are looking for in todays SUVs, Mr Elsworth said.

    This is another example of Holden bringing the best new vehicles from GMs global portfolio to Australia. With cars like Trax we continue to deliver world-class vehicles that meet the changing needs of customers.

    He said Trax combined SUV toughness and small car

    convenience with a muscular exterior design and wide athletic stance.

    Eagled-eyed car enthusiasts may see a number of Trax models on Australian roads in the near future as Holden engineers complete development work on the global program.

    Holdens director of powertrain engineering Simon Cassin said the compnays engineering know-how had been called on to work on this important model.

    Holden is well recognised within the GM world for its expertise in engine and transmission calibration and we were very pleased to be involved in the development of this vehicle, Mr Cassin said.

    We are working closely with head offi ce on global calibration work and of course making further refi nements to ensure Trax will be well suited to Australian roads and conditions when it arrives next year.

    The global Chevrolet version of Trax will make its offi cial debut at the Paris Motor Show in September.

    Come and see meSET up more like a house than a unit, this surprising property is currently leased and is walking distance to shops and doctors. Internally there are features you would associate with larger homes such as vaulted ceilings with exposed beans and a supporting brick feature wall, which divides the kitchen from the lounge room, is quite impressive. On the kitchen side of the wall is a pantry cupboard and the modern kitchen has an under-bench oven and gas cook top. From here you can step out to a small courtyard garden. Two bedrooms share access to a bathroom and there is a separate laundry. The home comes with gas heating and air-conditioning. At the front is a well-paved area for an additional vehicle plus a single lock-up garage.
