Cars impounded CARRUM Downs Police impounded two cars off the roads last week. Night shift police members first impounded the car of a 29-year-old Seaford woman. She was allegedly driving without a license. Police pulled the woman over after seeing her exit a McDonalds drive through on Ballarto Road. The car was impounded just two days after being released from its prior impound, police say. “She will have some additional charges added to last month’s driving offences,” a police statement read. Night shift officers also impounded the car of another 29-year-old Seaford woman last week. Police allege that she was pulled over on Lyrebird Drive for a routine license check, and found to have a disqualified license. Police also said they found drugs in the car. The woman was arrested and her car was impounded for a month.
Beach blocked TREES brought down in the 29 October storms are still blocking public access steps to Daveys Bay Beach, Mount Eliza. The trees were growing on private property, but the steps are on public land and maintained by Mornington Peninsula Shire. Commodore of the Daveys Bay Yacht Club Leigh Cummin said club members had been given the use of a private access to the beach, but members of the public were struggling to climb over or through the fallen trees. He said the steps had been blocked during one of the club’s busiest times with “hundreds of schoolchildren visiting for summer sailing programs”. Mr Cummin said several trees had come down during the storm and that a survey would need to be done of the cliff before the steps could be repaired. Cr Steve Holland said the clean-up by the shire after the shire “has not met community expectations and people are understandably frustrated”. He said 64 per cent of the shire’s “programmed works” had been completed by late last week. “The destruction of the Daveys Bay staircase is particularly disruptive,” Cr Holland said. “I hope access is restored as soon as possible. “I will continue to work within council to ensure resources are appropriately allocated to the services the community reasonably expects us to deliver in a timely fashion.” The shire has been contacted for comment.

More than a dance dynamo. Haileybury students are connected to their community and are always looking for ways to best serve them. Like Braya, who aside from having a strong love for dance and music — leading the School’s Pipes and Drums band — loves the fact she can help train Guide Dogs as part of her passion for Social Justice. She exemplifies all that we love about our students, spreading that goodness beyond the school grounds.
