Education

Frida Kahlo, born in 1907, was an artist whose works, mostly self-portraits, reflect the pain she experienced in her life.  
There was plenty of it. When she was six, she contracted polio, leaving her right leg thinner than her left. She was also thought to have spina bifida which affected her spinal cord and leg development.  

Icy, snowy weather has arrived in LaRue County earlier than in previous years, causing schools to be dismissed several days in December.

With January and February, usually the area’s coldest and snowiest months approaching, chances are good that more days of school will be dismissed.            

What's the best way to find out?

Phil Fulkerson, LaRue County Schools' director of transportation and maintenance, offered some options.

Campbellsville University's 136 undergraduate and graduate students were told to seize opportunities when they come their way at commencement Dec. 10 at Campbellsville Baptist Church.
