Solitary Groundhog



2024-08-13 - Clarksville, IN - Photo by Pen.
We stopped by the George Rogers Clark Homesite over the weekend, and had the place mostly to ourselves, except for this groundhog, who seemed a bit upset to no longer have the park to himself. He retreated into the brush to watch as we explored.

Clark's Homesite, located at the lower end of the Falls of The Ohio just across the Ohio River from downtown Louisville, has a commanding view of the Falls and the river as it bends toward New Albany.

Indians win over Garrard County football

By Trey Stephens
Columbia Magazine Staff Writer


The first half was marked by slow offensive production for both the Indians and the Golden Lions.

Adair lead 12-7 in the half, as they managed to punch in two scores while limiting Garrard County to just one touchdown. Adair County did fail on both of their point after attempts, one being a missed extra point, the other a failed two point try. Those two failures limited the amount of momentum that the Indians were able to pick up throughout the first half.

The Indians continued to hold Garrard County defensively through the second half, add that with another touchdown and a 19-7 Indians win was the result.

In his pastime, he enjoyed going to church, and spending time with his family and friends.
