Today is Go Red for Kentucky Women Day

By Beth Fisher

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) is encouraging all Kentuckians to "Go Red" on Friday, Feb. 1 to show support for National Wear Red Day, an observance created to highlight the dangers of heart disease among women.

Women and men of all ages will be wearing red blouses, sweaters, shirts, ties, shoes or other favorite accessories to show support for women's heart disease awareness.

"Though a small gesture, participating in National Wear Red Day sends a strong message about the importance of continued education, research and prevention of heart disease among women," said Cabinet for Health and Family Services Deputy Secretary Kristi Putnam. "Heart disease is one of the biggest threats to the health of women in Kentucky. I hope everyone will join us in taking part in National Wear Red Day."

THE BLOODY HARPES - Adair County history by Mike Watson

One, and probably two, of the most unnecessary and cruel homicides which was committed by them, occurred within Adair County...

THE BLOODY HARPES

By Mike Watson, editor of this series

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.

The bloody career of the Harpes, which stretches like a red line across the pages of the early history of southern Kentucky, had Adair County for the scene of its performance, in part. One, and probably two, of the most unnecessary and cruel homicides which was committed by them, occurred within Adair County.1
