Letter: another take on the dying groundhogs Comments re article 84676 Unnerving Mysterious groundhogs die off on Johnson School Rd: By Linda Waggener Pamela-the-outrageous came to mind when I read your letter about dying groundhogs in greater Fairplay. The memory that popped to mind was from a seminar with a group of six or seven women around the lunch table. One of the women introduced herself and shared that she was in a continuous state of grieving, having lost three husbands in a row, the most recent just a few months ago. The respectful silence was broken by P-T-O who listened, shook her head and said, "some people have all the luck!" After the round of reactions to her statement she introduced herself as having been left to raise two children on no income after her rat of a husband she'd supported through medical school ran off with his nurse. The connection is, "some people have all the luck". There are groundhogs here on the little Town Creek that flows through downtown Columbia and they are beady eyed and mean. I hear they can kill a dog in a second -- and many a time I've wished them gone. Several summers ago, our youngest and I decided we'd live trap and release them to a forest somewhere. Experts at Jeffries Hardware advised about the trap, google advised about the foods to place in them and we were in business. They can't resist fresh apples from Jeff Scott's Sparksville orchard and cherry tomatoes from the Farmers Market. A groundhog, even in a trap, is a mean and powerful streak of fury that no one wanted to touch. The groundhog won. The plan was scrapped. Perhaps hunters can take them on someday when we vote in an ordinance declaring groundhog season open. I hear they make excellent bbq. This story was posted on 2016-07-30 08:38:14
