18/11/2008 The Star was on hand as Leongatha Police swung into action last Tuesday, impounding a car under the state's anti-hoon legislation. "This car will be impounded for 48hours. There's quite a few hoons around lately," Senior Constable Jeff Watsford told The Star, as Burchell Panels, Leongatha, loaded a blue Commodore sedan onto its tow truck. The car will be impounded for two days, because the 60m burnout was a first offence. The driver was hooning in the Leongatha Industrial Estate. "The message doesn't seem to be getting through to people. Young bucks think they're all Peter Brock and they've got the driving skills to match," Sen Con Watsford said.

18/11/2008 Les Boyd is one of the unsung heroes of the local cricket scene. Not that you'd ever hear him suggest it. But after more than half a century in the game and some 17 years as a local umpire, Les has an army of admirers. The reminder that Les was about to umpire his 300th club game in the B Grade Nerrena versus Phillip Island match this weekend came to us via a young cricketer and footy scribe, Isaac McCallum. "A lot of the boys think he deserves a bit of a story," Isaac said. The milestone is unprecedented in the LDCA competition. In addition, Les has also umpired about 50 inter-association games and been secretary and appointments officer of the LDCA umpiring association. Sadly for the LDCA competition, Les' career will wind up at the end of the season, as he has plans to spend more time with his wife, Julie. What is the attraction of umpiring? "The reason I umpire is that years ago we hardly had any umpires, and we always used to get into arguments. And you used to make lifetime enemies," he said. "I reckon that if you have paid neutral umpires, then the umpires cop it and not the players. You just have to have umpires." Les played "for a huge amount of years" with Foster and then Town when he came to live in Ruby.
