Advertisement Among other things, Ann Taylor tossed snails and slugs into her neighbor's garden in the Manchester area after her neighbors, Tom and Nita Window, objected to Taylor's trellis being attached to their fence, The Daily Mail reported Tuesday. But now Taylor could be jailed if she violates a restraining order barring her from contacting the Windows. She also was ordered to pay $500 after being convicted of harassment and criminal damage. "The only thing we were ever guilty of was saying we didn't want (her) trellis on our fence," Nita Window said. Taylor has since moved from the area. Naked golf outing claims to help shelter Advertisement ATLANTA, Nov. 6 (UPI) -- Officials at an Atlanta women's shelter say a charity golf outing featuring exotic dancers used the shelter's name without permission. Some of the dancers at the Wolf Creek Golf Club were naked, WSB-TV, Atlanta, reported. Others were wearing outfits that left little to the imagination. The fee for the event was $175, while those who wanted a dancer as a caddy had to pony up another $300. Signs on the course warned the dancers to wear a bikini in areas within view of roads, but some of the nude women were visible from nearby houses, the TV station said. Organizers claim that the golf day was to benefit the Atlanta Day Shelter for Women and Children. The television station showed the director, Shirley Baker, some pictures. "That's a naked lady ... oh my gosh she is naked," Baker said. "I can't even believe they would do this. We are a Christian-based ministry and there is no way ... oh wow." Rock hound almost misses diamond find MURFREESBORO, Ark., Nov. 6 (UPI) -- A rock hound said he's found about 80 diamonds at an Arkansas state park since he moved to the state but he almost missed his biggest find -- a 4.38-carat gem. Advertisement Chad Johnson, who moved to Murfreesboro, Ark., in February, stowed his equipment after sifting for diamonds at Crater of Diamonds State Park during the weekend, so he didn't notice the cube-shaped rock until Monday, Fort Smith, Ark., television station KHBS reported. What he plucked from his sifters was a 4.38-carat, tea-colored diamond, the second-largest gem uncovered at the park this year. In June, a Louisiana man found a 4.8-carat diamond. The park is the world's only diamond-producing site open to the public and visitors can keep the gems they find. The largest was the 16.37-carat Amarillo Starlight, a white diamond found by a Texas visitor in 1975. Little boy stumbles on big mammoth tooth ST. JOSEPH RIDGE, Wis., Nov. 6 (UPI) -- To find a woolly mammoth tooth once in a lifetime could be considered lucky, but a man in Wisconsin has done it twice. In 1998, Gary Kidd unearthed a mammoth tooth from the bottom of the Mississippi River while clamming and thought it was a fossilized clam shell, the La Crosse (Wis.) Tribune reported. The Mississippi Valley Archaeology Center set him right about his find -- a water-soaked woolly mammoth that had fallen apart. Advertisement That knowledge helped him identify what his 3-year-old grandson found in a field near St. Joseph Ridge. They took the find to the archaeology center at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse, which confirmed it was a woolly mammoth tooth. Connie Arzigian, laboratory director at the center, estimated the fossil could be from 10,000 to 30,000 years old.
