Of Electric Fences, Trash Pits and Hooligans
Here is a fun little metal detecting hunt I recently went on. In it, I find a Civil War trash pit, examine the sounds of an electric fence and relate the story of how I became a Hooligan. ...

Sadler's Risk made an impressive winning debut over fences in the Follow Us On Facebook Beginners Chase at Roscommon on Monday evening.
Useful on the Flat and rated 143 over hurdles, all eyes were on Henry De Bromhead's six-year-old and there was never a worrying moment for those who backed him at 9-4.
He put in a nice round of jumping to come home six lengths clear of Busty Brown.
Rathpatrick (12-1) showed the benefit of his debut experience when recording a length and a quarter verdict over Bosman Rule in the Kepak Flat Race.
The mixed card began with four Flat races and Gentry (2-1jt-fav) narrowly held the late challenge of Benny Blanco in the opening Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. (C & G) Median Auction Maiden.
John Oxx's charge took it up in the home straight but Jessica Harrington's charge was soon in pursuit and Declan McDonogh's mount was all out to score by a short head.
Connor King gave Abby Cadabby a fine ride as Andrew Oliver's three-year-old completed a hat-trick in the Roscommon Handicap.
The 3lb claimer stole a march on his rivals when sending the 9-2 shot to the front entering the run in and she had enough in the tank thwart the strong finish of Kabjoy by three-quarters of a length.
Toe The Line (4-6fav) was a warm order for the Irish Stallion Farms E.B.F. Fillies Maiden and didn't disappoint his supporters.

Sadler's Risk makes impressive debut over fences
THE time for talk is over its time for the Queensland government to bite the bullet and put the funds for vermin control provided as part of the federal governments drought relief package into hard infrastructure.
Thats the opinion of federal Member for Maranoa Bruce Scott who said that other wild dog control strategies were failing and that physical barriers were becoming increasingly relied on to manage the problem.
I have made representations to see if we can get something lasting with the money allocated, something like the fencing projects at Morven and Tambo.
I think we could look at a dozen cells or so.
They worked in the past and I see no reason why they wouldnt again.
Western shires have indicated their support for fencing as a control measure, giving in principle support to the proposed erection of wild dog fences around the regions mixed breeding country when they met at the recent Western Queensland Local Government Association conference at Tambo.
The motion from the Barcoo shire originally concentrated on support for the 1300km fence proposed to enclose sections of Blackall-Tambo, Barcaldine, Longreach and Barcoo shires, but was altered when delegates questioned the size and effectiveness of it.
Barcaldines deputy mayor Jenni Grey said her shires wild dog advisory group supported the honeycomb or cluster approach to fencing.
We feel this might encourage more landholders to get involved, she said.
Flinders mayor Greg Jones told the conference his shire had recently increased its levy to rural producers thanks to an increasing wild dog problem, and urged councillors to support the motion.

Near the shore of Lake Ontario lies a mystery. Twenty massive limestone sculptures vanished from public view without a city noticing.
The sculptures, which weigh as much as six tonnes, havent moved in decades but now a fence enclosing a three-acre patio at the exclusive Muzik nightclub, which has hosted the likes of Justin Bieber and Mayor Rob Ford, blocks them from view.
Its outrageous. My dad would be turning over in his grave, said Kathy Sutton, daughter of the late Toronto artist, E.B. Cox, who created the sculptures. Initially, 17 sculptures were trapped, but after the nightclubs patio expanded last year all became fenced in.
But just how the fence went up around them is not clear. City staff in charge of public art say they were never consulted. There are no applications for a patio at Muzik on file with Municipal Licensing and Standards, which would have triggered a public process.
Now family and friends of the artist have taken notice. E.B. Cox envisioned his pieces, known as the Garden of the Greek Gods, to be a source of joy for children, not clubgoers and celebrities, they say.
He loved the fact that kids could climb on his art because its pretty much indestructible. Hed never like the idea of someone using it for an ashtray, Sutton said.
Its scandalous that a nightclub can just put its arms around these public works of art.
What the family wants is simple, said her sister Sally Fogel: The gods in a proper garden, not a beer garden.
Coxs work can be found across the GTA, including outside Victoria College, the Park Hyatt Hotel, McMaster University and a school in Milton.
Before his death in 2003, Cox hung around with author Farley Mowat and members of the Group of Seven, even carving the epitaphs for their granite tombstones. His own memorial service was held at the foot of Hercules. It now stands three metres tall amid patio tables.

The latest dispute over federal control of land and water in the West has erupted along the banks of the Agua Chiquita, a small spring-fed stream in the mountains of southern New Mexico where the federal government has installed metal fences and locked gates to keep cattle out.
The move has enraged one rural county, where the sheriff has been ordered by the county commission to cut the locks. The U.S. attorney for the district of New Mexico hoped a meeting Friday would ease tensions enough to avoid an escalation like the armed standoff last month over grazing rights in Nevada.
The discussion resulted only in more frustration and disappointment.
Otero County Commissioner Ronny Rardin said after the meeting that the dispute was far from over.
"Ultimately, it is incumbent upon the commission, the sheriff and the citizens of Otero County to stand up for our constitutional rights," he said.
In a statement, U.S. Attorney's Office in New Mexico said no resolution was reached during the meeting and that the office will continue to monitor the situation "to ensure that public safety is preserved" in Otero County.
"To that end, the U.S. Attorney's Office will make every effort to facilitate a dialogue between county officials and the Forest Service," the office said.
Decades in the making, the dispute in Otero County centers on whether the Forest Service has the authority to keep ranchers from accessing Agua Chiquita, which means Little Water in Spanish. In wet years, the spring can run for miles through thick conifer forest. This summer, much of the stream bed is dry.
The Forest Service says the enclosures are meant to protect what's left of the wetland habitat. Forest Supervisor Travis Moseley said the metal fences and gates simply replaced strands of barbed wire that had been wrecked over the years by herds of elk.
The Otero County Commission passed a resolution earlier this week declaring that the Forest Service doesn't have a right to control the water. Ranchers say they believe the move is an effort by the federal government to push them from the land.

Rural County, Feds Locked in Water-Rights Dispute
ST. LOUIS Downtown a few years ago at Hobo Park, homeless people sipped beers, sat on old benches and rested on bedding unrolled on a grassy incline. Open bidding for cigarettes started at 50 cents a piece.
Last week, the benches and homeless people were long gone. The comfy incline was fenced off, covered with new plants and mulch.
A young boy darted across thick green grass where a littered pool used to be. He passed a long row of fuchsia roses in full bloom, all the way to a new set of monkey bars on a far side of the park.
Its a nice little oasis in the city, said his mother, Valorie Helt, watching from a distance.
For nearly two years, the nonprofit group Friends of Lucas Park invested about $150,000 worth of donations and countless hours of time into sprucing up the park, which covers one city block at 14th and Locust streets.
Its the latest attempt to reclaim the 150-year-old park between the Central Library, Washington Avenue loft district and the Rev. Larry Rices large homeless shelter.
People will gather at 8 tonight for a viewing of The Princess Bride to celebrate the parks reopening.
Its just greener, cleaner and more inviting and usable for those who live and work in the area, Friends of Lucas Park board member Daniel Flynn said of the changes.
There are organized monthly cleanup days and events, such as outdoor Pilates classes and a childrens bike rodeo. Theyve been patient and disciplined to stay off some areas to allow new vegetation to take root.
But a more obvious challenge remains. The area is ground zero for the regions homeless population.
