Reporter and her family climb Africa's tallest mountain By Kirby Adams, Louisville Courier Journal At 16,000 feet above sea level, with a cold relentless wind battering the orange nylon walls of our tent, I watched a guide carry the ailing hiker off and disappear into the cloud line below. In that instant I found myself questioning my decision to bring the three most important people in my life -- my family -- on this mountaineering expedition. Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the famous Seven Summits -- the name given to the highest point on each continent. It is also the tallest free-standing mountain in the world. To get to there, my husband John Grantz and I traveled to Tanzania in East Africa with our daughters, Elliott, 21, and Jordan, 19. At the age when our daughters have become busy with their own adult lives, we saw this as a last opportunity to experience an epic family adventure.

Kentucky 1 of only 5 states to cut money for Higher Ed this year By Morgan Watkins, Louisville Courier Journal Kentucky was one of only five states that slashed funding for higher education this fiscal year, putting more pressure on public universities to save money and raise revenue without overburdening students with skyrocketing tuition rates. The fallout from the 2008 recession hurt governments and public colleges across the country, but most states have finally stopped making cuts to the schools relying on their support, according to Grapevine, a joint project that involves Illinois State University and annually compiles data on states' higher education appropriations. In Kentucky, however, budget reductions have become the new normal for publicly funded schools like the University of Louisville and Eastern Kentucky University.

The Bloody Harpes: Part III Previous columns in this series: The Bloody Harpes, Part I | The Bloody Harpes, Part II By Mike Watson Judge Rollin T. Hurt, native of Adair County, attorney, businessman, judge, and historian, wrote a series of articles for the Adair County News early in the last century on the early history and people of the county. Several articles dealt with the Harpe Brothers. Several years ago these articles were edited and published as Hurt's History of Adair County, containing the following in the words of Judge Hurt, with footnotes by the editor. On their way to join their wives, when the Harpes had arrived near Steuben's Lick, in the present county of Hopkins, they stopped for the mid-day meal at the residence of a pioneer, whose name was James Tompkins. Since our first acquaintance with them, they had become very much improved in personal appearance. Each of them now wore a black cloth coat and pretended to be a Methodist preacher. One of them, very reverently, returned thanks before the commencement of the meal. They were armed with rifles and each had a pair of holsters at his saddle.

Celebrating the life of good friend Judy Wallace Irvin Carol Myers writes: What a beautiful tribute to a beautiful lady! Yes, Carol and Judy were best friends for as long as I can remember. She knew Judy like no other. I grieve for Judy and also for Carol. We who knew her will be grieving for a long time. She was my friend, too. I saw her three times during her last days. She could still whisper, and I told her I loved her many times each time I saw her. She always replied with, "I love you, too," but in a faint whisper." I will forever treasure her friendship, but my memories of this precious lady will always be some of the sweetest.Comments re photo 82650 No crying I want a celebration 2019-02-18 06:56:02 | Comments | Printable version
