Public Art Review

Two men (not kids!) have been arrested over the deliberate damage of two fiberglass goat statues in Hendersonville. The goats were part of the downtown art collection called “Kidding Around Downtown,” . The two goats injured were Groovy goat (who had his head knocked right off) and Mountain Goat (who lost an ear). They are yet to locate the ear. This isn’t Mountain Goat’s first time in the news, he was nicked along with “Connie-Mara” in July by two kids  who were later charged. Prior to the goats, the town had a five year run with decorative fiberglass bears. The decorative goats  eventually get auctioned off for charity, which makes this so sad because who wants a goat with no head or ear?

Name and shame them right here. The culprits for the latest attack on the fiberglass goats are Daniel Joseph Markel, 27, of Flat Rock, and Craig Owen Hensley, 29, of Hendersonville.They have both been charged with damage to personal property. One for the Billy goats gruff!

It seems the poor old 7ft ant sculpture, which was installed in Market Square, Portsmouth, has been vandalized again. Police Sgt. Kuffer Kaltenborn noticed that the ant had white antennae as he went to get his Starbucks fix. Nathan Walker, the sculpture, was notified about the recent attack. I bet he was relieved it was only white pint, last time the ant was decapitated by Theodore “Teddy” Mottola. “Teddy” was fined $500 ,had to perform 25 hrs of community service and publish a letter of apology for his troubles.Watch out who ever did the latest act. If caught you are going to be charged with a Class A misdemeanor count of criminal mischief/vandalism. Don’t mess with no ants in Portsmouth.
