In Oakhurst, John Tennant, a plumber, had taken to daily battles with geese that have taken over his neighborhood. Carrying a trash can lid as a combination shield, was drum and rain hat, he runs at the invaders, beating a pipe on the lid and shouting. " Mr. neighbor has it easy, all he has to do is clap his hands and the geese leave, " Mr. Tennant said. "I have to go out there and beat the lid till they take off. The geese really drive people here crazy.
