With the discussion of goal line technology after the weekend, I wondered what the cost of that is.

The BBC reported in 2013 it cost £250,000 to install at each ground, then around £4,000 cost per match. La Liga more recently stated a reason for no goal line technology in the league was that it would cost €3,200,000 to install. They have 20 teams, so roughly €160,000 per stadium which is roughly £133,000. So presumably the cost has gone down since 2013; however, there is also variation in the quality/features available which affects the cost.

If we take that La Liga figure, in the WSL it would cost around £1,600,000 to fit out the league. If the cost per game is still £4,000, that's £24,000 per game week. It could be less than that given that the cost of the technology is now lower, so we'll call it £16,000 for the sake of this post.

If you've ever been to Chigwell Construction Stadium where West Ham Women play, you won't be surprised to read that I doubt the club would pay for their women's team to install goal line technology there at those costs. And West Ham women don't make enough money to shoulder the cost themselves yet. I'm sure West Ham are not the only ones in that situation either.

So, could the cost be met by the new company running the WSL and Championship? Well, probably not; I just don't think there's enough money there yet. The FA gave them a £20,000,000 loan to help with start-up. Installing and running goal line technology over a year would take just under £2,000,000 of that loan, or 10%. And only the WSL would be getting it there, you'd double it if we included the Championship teams. However, each year after would, of course, be cheaper.

While goal-line technology has made errors, I don't think there is anywhere near the same level of controversy with it as there is with VAR (which is even harder to find costs for, estimates in different leagues around the world seem to be around 3-5 million for installation, 1-2 million per year after). So I don't think from a gameplay point of view, introducing goal line technology is particularly an issue. But the cost...

I don't know if that ball went over the line during the Chelsea vs Tottenham game. Like so many things, without the right angle or perspective, it's so difficult to tell. I've been at games where the people around me are furiously declaring that a tackle was "never a yellow card" and the referee is incompetent; you watch it on the highlights later and think "it definitely was a yellow card and the referee was spot on". It's an inherent bias, I suppose, for when someone supports one specific team. People presumably see their team more favourably than other teams, or else they won't be their team! What we can be fairly sure of is that goal line technology would have answered that dilemma of was it in or not on Sunday.

I'm just not sure the WSL can afford the cost of all teams having goal-line technology yet. That's without considering the calls from some people for VAR or this upcoming automated offside technology due to come into the men's game in the next few years. Women's football is growing, but so much stuff that is wanted and needed to facilitate that growth (like getting the stats, which I discussed in another post) just costs so much. It'll get there, I'm sure. I'm just not sure how long that will take. I suppose it depends on the cost vs benefit the new company sees compared to everything else that also needs investment.

The Ghosts of Kentucky Camp

"Deep in the heart of the Santa Rita Mountains lies a ghost town called Kentucky Camp.  It was once a bustling mining town, abandoned after a freak accident that killed the lead mining engineer.  Some say the town is now haunted by the ghosts of the lead engineer and miners who lost their lives.  The locals say that on quiet nights you might hear the sound of pickaxes and shovels coming from the hills, but be warned, if you hear the sound of a lone miner's whistle, you certainly are not alone."

Dave Baugher, a regular contributor to this website, started his multi-year thru-hike of the Arizona Trail this year. Dave estimated that 30 percent of those on the Arizona Trail had either left the PCT or altered plans to walk the PCT because of the epic snowpack on the PCT. This story is based upon a stop early in his Arizona Trail walk.

Ever see a ghost fly?  No?  How about a man about to become a ghost as he "flew" off the third story of a newly constructed hotel in Tucson, AZ?  No?  Neither have I.  However, my buddy Ed and I spent some time in the old gold mining town of Kentucky Camp.  Let me tell you about the "Ghosts of Kentucky Camp."

Gold.  The yellow metal has driven men mad, sent conquistadores over the oceans, and even led to war between nations.  However, much of the gold on Earth is thought to have been incorporated into the planet since its very beginning, as orbiting debris formed the planet's mantle early in Earth's creation. 

About 55 million years ago, during earth movement and mountain building, hot solutions bearing gold and other minerals worked their way into the faults and fissures of folded and compressed rock.  Later, these mineral-laden veins eroded along with the host rock,  freeing the gold.  Long before any people arrived on the scene, water and gravity began the gold-milling process better than any human invention carrying and concentrating small particles of gold along the bottoms of streams and gulches.  These are placer deposits: water-laid sand and gravels that contain eroded and redeposited particles of valuable minerals.

Gold was discovered in the Santa Rita Mountains in 1874.  In the following years, up to 500 miners worked in what became known as the Greaterville Mining District.    Early on, the miners had to haul their pay dirt to the few running streams in the area or haul bladders of water to their claims on the backs of pack animals.  At first, this laborious effort was worthwhile, but by 1886 the easy pickings played out, and most miners moved on.

In 1902, a charismatic California mining engineer, James Stetson, had an idea to solve the water problem.  He believed collecting seasonal runoff into a nearby reservoir would be possible, thus creating a permanent water source and making placer mining again profitable.

Stetson sold his idea to investors and formed the Santa Rita Water & Mining Company.  Kentucky Camp in the Santa Rita Mountains was the Company's headquarters.  It was an attempt to get the land to give up its gold with placer mining.  That process, successful in California, uses water cannons to break up desert hillsides so gold can be washed out and recovered in sluices, a sort of industrial-sized gold panning.  Stetson believed the California process would work in Southern Arizona.  Californian George McAneny put up $150,000 to get things started in 1902 and was made president of the new Company, with Stetson as the manager.

Stetson designed a dam near three streams with over eight miles of pipe and ditches to get the water to the mining site at Kentucky Gulch.  A company office building, a house for Stetson, a barn, and two other buildings were constructed.  The 40 to 100 workers lived in a nearby tent camp, and the operation opened in 1904.

Unfortunately, it all washed out.  Only about $3,000 was repaid to McAneny, so a meeting was called in Tucson on May 22, 1905.  McAneny and several other stockholders were to meet at lawyer Samuel Kingan's office.  However, around 3 o'clock the afternoon before, a maid working on the 2nd floor directly below Mr. Stetson's room heard a thud on the windowsill of the room she was cleaning.  She went to investigate.  She leaned out her window and saw Mr. Stetson's dead body on the concrete sidewalk below.  Stetson mysteriously fell, jumped, or was thrown from a third-story window of the Santa Rita Hotel and died.  The truth of his death was never determined.

McAneny's health and finances fell apart after that day.  He got divorced and claimed that ghosts were ever after him.  He died in 1909.  The Santa Rita Water & Mining Company ended, and the land was used by ranchers.  Kentucky Camp was abandoned in the mid-1960s, and the U.S. Forest Service took it over in 1989.  

Renters around the ranch sometimes report ghostly noises, and a ghost-hunters group has spent time documenting the strange happenings in the cabins.  But seasoned visitors say it is mice in the place and skunks making a winter den under the house near the propane heater that account for the mysterious night sounds.  A resident jaguar living in Santa Ritas may also visit the area.

On the hot afternoon of Friday, March 31, 2023, Ed and I dropped our packs on the covered porch of Mr. Stetson's house.  There was water for us to fill our bottles, electricity to charge our electronics, and displays describing the past history of Kentucky Camp.  I'll be honest, we did not stay too long.  There were still miles of trail ahead before we could call it a day.  However, we enjoyed the shade, and several other visitors joined us on the deck to cool off from the sun. 

Ghosts?  We did not see or hear anything that afternoon.  Later, camped by a small lake, Ed and I talked about the place, and we both thought it might be exciting to return to in the future.  Calling it a night, we dove into our tents as the cold chilly wind ran down from the Santa Rita Mountains high above our camp.  Tired, I did hear things in the evening twilight.  Shovels and pickaxes?  No.  Whistles?  You could say that the cooing of doves in waning light or the soft chirps of quail in the brush might resemble a whistle as I drifted off to sleep thinking about the ghosts of Kentucky Camp.

10 Questions to Ask Residential Construction Contractors Near Me Before Signing a Contract

When embarking on a construction project, whether it's a new home build, renovation, or remodeling, choosing the right contractor is crucial. The success of your project heavily depends on the expertise, reliability, and transparency of your construction contractor. To help you make an informed decision, here are 10 essential questions to ask residential construction contractors near me before you sign any contracts. These questions will ensure you select the best contractor for your specific needs and avoid common pitfalls.

1. What is Your Experience with Projects Similar to Mine?

Before hiring any residential construction companies near me, it's vital to understand their experience with projects like yours. Ask potential contractors about their background in handling similar projects. For instance, if you're planning a kitchen remodel, inquire if they have a history of successful kitchen renovations. The more relevant experience a contractor has, the better they can anticipate challenges and deliver quality results.

2. Can You Provide References and Portfolio Samples?

Reputable local construction contractors should have a portfolio of past work and references from previous clients. Ask for a list of references and take the time to contact them. Request to see photos of completed projects and, if possible, visit a few sites to inspect the quality of their work firsthand. This step helps verify their claims and ensures they have a proven track record of satisfying clients.

3. What is Your Project Timeline and How Do You Handle Delays?

Understanding the contractor’s timeline for your project is essential. Ask for a detailed project schedule and inquire about their approach to handling potential delays. Good contractors will provide a clear timeline and have strategies in place to manage unexpected issues. This will help you set realistic expectations and avoid unnecessary disruptions to your project.

4. What is Included in Your Contract and Pricing?

Transparency in pricing and contract details is critical. Ensure you receive a detailed written estimate that includes all aspects of the project, from materials and labor to any additional costs. Best construction companies in New York will offer clear and competitive bids without hidden charges. Review the contract carefully to understand what is covered and what is not.

5. Are You Licensed and Insured?

Verify that the contractor holds the necessary licenses and insurance. This is a non-negotiable requirement when hiring residential construction contractors near me. A valid license indicates that the contractor meets local building regulations, while insurance protects you from liability in case of accidents or damage during the project. Request proof of both and check their validity with the appropriate authorities.

6. What Are Your Payment Terms and Conditions?

Discuss payment terms upfront to avoid misunderstandings later. Many contractors offer flexible payment options, but it's important to understand their terms. Inquire about the payment schedule, deposit requirements, and methods of payment. Ensure that the terms are fair and align with your budget, and avoid contractors who demand large upfront payments.

7. How Do You Handle Changes and Additional Requests?

Changes and additional requests are common in construction projects. Ask how the contractor manages modifications to the original plan. A reliable contractor will have a clear process for handling change orders and will communicate any additional costs associated with these changes. This ensures you are informed and prepared for any adjustments that may arise.

8. What is Your Approach to Quality Control?

Quality control is crucial in construction. Ask contractors about their approach to ensuring the quality of their work. Top construction companies in New York will have stringent quality control measures in place, including regular inspections and adherence to industry standards. Understand their process for maintaining high standards throughout the project.

9. Will You Obtain All Necessary Permits?

Some construction projects require permits from local authorities. Confirm whether the contractor will handle permit applications and ensure that all necessary permits are obtained before work begins. This is essential to avoid legal issues and ensure your project complies with local building codes.

10. What is Your Warranty and Post-Completion Support?

A good contractor stands behind their work with a warranty and offers post-completion support. Ask about the warranty coverage for workmanship and materials. Additionally, inquire about their process for addressing any issues or concerns that may arise after the project is completed. A solid warranty and reliable support provide peace of mind and ensure long-term satisfaction with the results.
