"The science that Willie Soon does is almost pointless." - NASA climate scientist Gavin Schmidt, to the New York Times
Recent revelations regarding Smithsonian scientist ...read more
This is a guest post by Juanita Constible, Science and Solutions Director of The Climate Reality Project, cross-posted with permission.
As a scientist, I know how important it is for our kids to get a top-notch science education. So it's extremely significant that a new set of national science standards – the first to be released in over a decade – explicitly ask our schools to address climate change.
The Next Generation Science Standards lay out core ideas K-12 students should understand about the basics of science – from biology, to physics and chemistry, to earth science. The last national standards were released back in 1996, and manmade climate change wasn't mentioned. However, the new standards recognize that students need to know human activities are changing our climate. They also recognize that schools are training the next generation of engineers and scientists who can help solve the problem.
In the standards for middle school, for example, one of the core ideas is that "human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the current rise in Earth's mean surface temperature ('global warming')." The standards for high school note that "changes in the atmosphere due to human activity have increased carbon dioxide concentrations and thus affect climate."
This is welcome news after a disheartening couple of months in the science education world. In February, news broke about the industry-funded Heartland Institute's plans to push misinformation about climate change into schools. (Yes, the same Heartland Institute that compared people who believe in climate change science to mass murderers. Many schools already avoid teaching about climate change because some teachers (and parents) view the topic as too controversial. (Of course, there's nothing controversial about the underlying science.)
The standards are now out for public comment and will be finalized late this year or early next. States can choose to adopt part or all of the standards … or not. But at least they'll have something better than the so-called "science" curriculum from the Heartland Institute. They can choose the new fact-based standards, which address the reality of the climate crisis – and which just might inspire a new generation of science and engineering superstars to solve it.
Originally published by The Climate Reality Project
Democracy is utterly dependent upon an electorate that is accurately informed. In promoting climate change denial (and often denying their responsibility for doing so) industry has done more than endanger the environment. It has undermined democracy.
There is a vast difference between putting forth a point of view, honestly held, and intentionally sowing the seeds of confusion. Free speech does not include the right to deceive. Deception is not a point of view. And the right to disagree does not include a right to intentionally subvert the public awareness.

HELENA, Mont. (AP) — Montana became the only state in the nation that does not ban at least some drivers from texting when a new law took effect in South Carolina this week.
Montana is only state without driver texting ban
State Department of Transportation Director Mike Tooley said Wednesday that while he believes Montana needs such a ban, the state has never led the charge for new laws regarding highway safety, leaving it to municipalities.
"I am disappointed that once again we're last to take something regarding highway safety seriously," Tooley said, noting the state went without a statewide law on child safety restraints for years.
About a dozen ordinances in Montana cities and two counties ban texting behind the wheel, according to the department.
Driver cellphone usage contributed to 1,614 crashes from 2004 to 2013, Montana Highway Patrol data shows.
Forty-four states, including South Carolina and Washington, D.C., ban texting while driving for all ages, AAA said. A handful of others, such as Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas only outlaw it for young and/or inexperienced drivers and for some bus drivers. In Arizona, cellphone use while driving is only illegal for bus drivers.

Unfortunately - This game comes with absolutely NO info, readme file or installation instructions. It is double compresed leaving files for various operating systems with no executable or setup files or installation info ! Executing the Daemon (not reccomended for unknown downloaded files) starts the online game connection after a few glitches but then reports that there is no game server or account to log onto ! [If one is needed then info should be provided]. What no one needs is another "Steam" controlling all game sales and activities from a central Big Brother server. Cannot be reccomended despite nice looking graphics. A LOT more work is needed - starting with some INFORMATION.

... out that this circular area enables you to stand and talk without being heard by others outside of the circle but you can hear yourself at a far higher volume!

A stay in OKC
Today we woke up and ate breakfast at my aunts house. we ate biscuits and gravy and it was delicious. Then we all got together as a family and ate lunch then we all had just a great time talking with each other and getting to know each other more and more. Then we ate dinner which consisted of ribs, mashed potatoes and salad then we went to bed.

ANC elite hoodwinking poor - Moeletsi Mbeki
05:27 (GMT+2), Fri, 25 May 2012
South Africa is being de-industrialised and turned into a welfare state because of an alliance between the black political elite and the poor, political economist Moeletsi Mbeki said last night.
''There is an alliance between the black middle-class and the poor. This tells you how the poor are being bought off . they are grant recipients,'' said Mbeki, brother of former president Thabo Mbeki.
He was delivering a lecture at Wits University on what the ANC had achieved over the past 18 years.
''There are two primary political controllers of South Africa. The under-class are the single-largest voting block of South Africa,'' he said.
Political power rested between the black political elite and the black poor.
Mbeki said: ''There is something very wrong with South Africa ... with how the political elite are managing South Africa.''
Under the ANC, three social groups had emerged. They were capitalists or bourgeoisie, the political elite or bureaucratic bourgeoisie and the under-class or unemployed.
''We have a unique political system in South Africa.
''It's controlled by the black-middle class [political elite] but it has an alliance with the poor or the under-class,'' he said.
The objective of the political elite was to maximise consumption of the black middle-class and to retain the monopoly on political power.
However, its weakness was that it depended on the vote of the under-class, which did not own productive assets, he said.
''The ANC has been driving a consumer revolution at the expense of production.''
Mbeki said the political elite's private consumption was being funded by state revenue and had become a burden on taxpayers.
''It's becoming clear where the bottleneck sits and where the problems are,'' he said.
"The consumption of the black elite is unsustainable and has to be reversed.''
The capitalists needed to be brought into the loop.
''This group of society was defending itself by moving capital out of South Africa.
''We need a new politics in South Africa, a more inclusive politics, not just a black elite and a black poor.
''As long as they [capitalists] are out of the political loop, we'll never have economic growth. They control the productive assets of the country,'' he said.
In 2007, more than $20-billion (about R166.7-bn), which was 20% of the gross domestic product, was moved out of South Africa by these capitalists.
''When you moving 20% of the GDP out of the country, there is no way of developing your country,'' he said.
Mbeki said the solution for South Africa was to promote entrepreneurship and develop science, maths, engineering and management education.
''Without that, we're going nowhere.''

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Penguins coming to Assiniboine Park Zoo
Assiniboine Park Zoo just got a polar bear, and now it's getting some more special visitors.
The zoo will, for the first time, be host to a group of African black-footed penguins, the zoo announced Friday.
The penguins will be at the park for a limited time this spring and summer, as part of the HUB Horizon Insurance Penguin Cove.
"This is something completely new for Winnipeg and the Assiniboine Park Zoo so we're very excited about it," Tim Sinclair-Smith, director of Zoological Operations said in a release.
The exhibit will also talk about conservation efforts underway for penguins in the wild. It will be a self-contained ecosystem for the penguins, according to the release, and visitors will be able to see the approximately 40 cm tall animals above and below water.

A close relative of the 'Clevelend Steamer' and the 'Hot Carl,' the 'Minnesota Foot Soldier' is a sexual act wherein a partner defecates then steps barefoot in their own defecation. The other partner then licks the first partner's feet and sucks their toes.

Two men charged
in guns, drug case
BURLINGTON — Two Vermont men are facing federal charges stemming from the theft of firearms from a Hardwick gun store and the trading of some of those guns for drugs.
The U.S. attorney's office said 26-year-old Larry Garrow and 29-year-old Albert Torres-Morales, both of Richford, made initial appearances in court Wednesday and were ordered held pending another court appearance.
Prosecutors said Garrow burglarized the Rite Way Sports Shop in Hardwick on April 19 and stole 32 firearms.
It was later determined he kept some of the guns and gave the rest to Torres-Morales in exchange for money and drugs.
The two were arrested Tuesday.
Police have recovered 11 of the stolen guns. The rest remain missing.
Garrow's attorney had no comment.

Block Of Duty Survival War
Save the World from Disaster...
A tedious peace existed between two great and powerful nations until a massacre during a diplomatic mission leads to the kidnapping of the diplomat. From this plot a great and terrible war was born. The dangerous political waters are riled like a typhoon and the hostile environments it breeds leave little room for whys and only that of strategy and action. Newly arrived to the scene from Special Mission Force Sniper Team One, a solo unit specializing in infiltration of dark defenses, you have not only a theory, but proof of a terrorist rebel campaigning to bring down the block nation and ambush his own capitol to assume his authoritarian rule after the fall of the two nations. The ambush on domestic soil was a setup, not executed from one side, but an attack from a brutal dissenter. As the bloodshed increases and the battlefield becomes a veritable necropolis, communication between leaders is nonexistent. It is up to you to track down this terrorist, find the perpetrator, recover the kidnapped official and bring the bloodshed to an end.
The battlefield is ripe with information if one knows where to seek it. Assuming the role of soldier, you blast through these attacks, using your elite training to uncover the secret agents stationed throughout both sides who are acting as the eyes and ears of this despot.
Take on epic enemies in this vast and dangerous terrain. Strike hard and fast, the battlefield is unforgiving and will claim your life if you continue. The time to act is now. Battle the armies and survive in this treacherous and forbidding landscape as you make your way to the rendezvous point.
The dungeon of the bleak prisoner of war camp is a hideout for this master terrorist. Men on both sides of the battle are swallowed whole by this imposing fortress, never to be seen again. Amid the blood spattered torture room you will need to navigate a myriad of dangers both obvious and hidden. Stalk the prison cells and hunt down the cohorts of this dangerous rebel. Survive explosive mobs of enemy warriors as you venture deeper into the dark heart of the dungeon. This impossible structure is a stronghold of nearly impenetrable defenses... for most. This cruel prison camp is no match for your skills. So long as you can survive, you will succeed in this mission. No map is too intense for you.

*Amass a collection of hidden weapons
*Ammo, health, and varying speed pickups
*Choose weapons easily or battle it out hand-to-hand

Sara DeLuca reads from "The Crops Look Good: News from a Midwestern Family Farm"
03/18/2015 7:00 pm
This intimate biography of a Wisconsin farm family eloquently chronicles a past way of life, one which, though arguably simpler, was not necessarily easier.
When Margaret Williamson left her family's rural Wisconsin farm to work in Minneapolis in 1923, her mother, Olava, wrote regularly with updates about daily activities: laundry, bread baking, plowing, planting, and harvesting the crops. Sometimes she enclosed a note from seven- year- old Helen, who reported on school and shenanigans and how she longed to see Margaret again.
So begins decades of stories recounting the personal joys and challenges of a family broadly representative of the countless small farms that dotted the midwestern landscape in the early twentieth century. As Margaret's niece Sara DeLuca weaves together family tales gleaned from letters and conversations, we learn of births and deaths, of innovations like the automobile, radio, and telephone that drew rural communities together, and of national and international events that brought home stone-hard truths. Depression-era farmers struggled to keep their land and feed their livestock. During wartime, this family made do just like everyone else.
The tale that emerges is one of fierce devotion to family and work, of a changing landscape as smaller farms became part of conglomerates, and of the comforting daily rhythms of life shared with those who know us best.
Poet and writer Sara DeLuca grew up on a dairy and sheep farm near the Williamson "homeplace" in Polk County, Wisconsin. She is the author of the memoir Dancing the Cows Home and the poetry collection Shearing Time.

Paul Mohrbacher reads from his novel "Brothers"
02/26/2015 7:00 pm
"Brothers by Paul Mohrbacher is truly a gem of a story.... I loved it."--Mary Logue, author of Lake of Tears
Paul Mohrbacher's novel, Brothers, delves into the relationship of two sixty-something siblings who have been estranged for several years. Once close, Ben and Nick's different life choices drew them apart, with Nick moving to California and Ben staying in their Midwestern hometown in North Dakota. Nick's choices--complicated by his drug and alcohol addiction--result in shattered health and ultimately homelessness.
Brothers opens at their first meeting in several years when Ben travels to visit his brother, now a resident of a California board-and-care home, driven mostly by his need to know if Nick was involved in his wife's death six years earlier. Nick's outrageous style and the brothers' intellectual sparring make what could be a dark tale a captivating, entertaining lark.
Brothers is Mohrbacher's second novel. His debut novel, The Magic Fault, is a tale of modern crusaders and the Shroud of Turin. For more than 30 years, Mohrbacher played key roles in public and community relations at the Science Museum of Minnesota.
Read The Book Before You Read The Book
There's no shortage of sequels in the summertime. In fact, a few of our staff's favorite novels are soon to pick up right where they left off...
Enon (Now in Paperback), Paul Harding's follow-up novel to his Pulitzer Prize-winning Tinkers, explores the grief of protagonist Charlie Crosby (grandson of Tinkers character George Crosby) over the loss of his daughter. Peter Recommends
10:04 (Available 9/2), a meta-sequel to Ben Lerner's breakout debut (winner of the 2012 Believer Book Award) Leaving the Atocha Station, finds our unnamed author/narrator under contract with a major publisher, but no more certain how to face the future and the prospect of fatherhood in a city that might soon be underwater. Colin Recommends
Lila (Available 10/7), the last of three novels by Marilynne Robinson set in the fictional plains town of Gilead, Iowa, tells the hardscrabble story of Lila, wife of minister John Ames. Robinson's preceding novels Gilead (2004) and Home (2008) received the Pulitzer and Orange Prizes, respectively. Jean Recommends
Bad Want: Interview with Sean Bishop
"Writing did give me a means to grieve publicly, to make others aware of my loss, in a way that wouldn't have gone over so well if I had just randomly stood up in the middle of a cafe once a month and proclaimed, 'hello, strangers, allow me to tell you about my dead father and how sad I am about it!'"
Sean Bishop talks about life, death, and Carson Daly. Bishop reads from The Night We're Not Sleeping In on Friday, November 21, with poets Su Smallen and Kara Condito. Click here for more information. Click here for the complete interview.

staff was friendly and helpful.
hot items in the free breakfast pretty much sucked
Great complimentary breakfast. Bed was comfortable.
Flatscreen TV had a terrible remote/guide system from circa 1990. At breakfast, msnbc was on the TV and staff refused to change it to Fox News. Not every guest is a raving liberal !!
I loved the pool. At this time of the year, I had it to myself quite a bit. I like that there are adult only times.
Hard to get luggage from car to room unless on the parking lot side.
I was here for a funeral and i was pleasantly surprised by value, staff, cleanliness, everything really, i would highly recommend it
Guests in the hallways were awfully loud (not the hotel's fault), though I couldn't help but think the doors were too thin. Everything else about the place was great.
Decent location, good value for the money. Rooms reasonably plain, but clean. Included breakfast adequate, staff was quite helpful. Hot Tub was also clean, and appeared to be well-kept. Bar appeared to be a nice little place, although didn't get to use it this trip.
Out of control kids!! Probably my mistake, as the Saturday night which we checked in was the last day of Mass Feb. vacation. I guess that I didn't realize how noisy it could be; additionally, being put in a room which was in the access hall to the pool made it almost unbearable. One would have thought that the staff would have put us in an out-of-the-way room. To be fair, the staff did post people in the hall in order to keep the ruckus down to a dull roar, and Sunday night was indeed much quieter, but I can't recommend this place to anyone who wants to be assured of a quiet stay. I don't think that I'll risk another night's sleep by staying here again on my next trip to the Cape.
Good location and clean. Nothing special but its just what you need. Beds and linens were clean, bathroom was spotless. Needs a facelift because its outdated but a good value overall.
The beds were comfortable and the location was convenient for our needs.
When I called reservations and asked for 2 doubles I was told a flat no. However when we arrived they switched the king with no problems.
nicely appointed rooms, comfortable beds, clean.
Modern bathroom,flat screen tv, clean room
Noisy walking on deck can be heard from the room all night, no vending machines
Conviently located to beaches, great restaurants and shopping
Pillows and comforter need updating
I liked the location and price.
The beds were too firm with too few pillows. Was a little dated.
The hotel was very clean. The room was a decent size. The beds were comfortable. For the price, I thought it was an excellent deal. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating.
The towels were small and rough. There wasn't a microwave in the room. The handle on the bathroom door was broken and wouldn't lock. But, for an economy hotel, I was pleased! We were only staying one night for a funeral, so weren't looking for frills!
Everything. Their website is highly misleading. The room was nasty and service was terrible. I was at a conference all weekend and was exhausted from virtually working all day and dreaded having to go back to that hotel.
I love the location and have stayed many times because I thinks its the best location in Hyannis.
As per usual, although it is amongst the most expensive places to stay in Hyannis, the bar staff treats you like they are doing you a favor by serving you. Extremely unfriendly and un-welcoming. We left during the day to find a place we would be treated better. Its unfortunate, if the staffs treatment and attitude towards customers matched the excellent location it would be the best place in town.
Location and ocean view room.
Service in restaurant for breakfast was extremely slow.
Love the staff from time we waled til the time we left. They made us feel like family.
Not a Thing
The whole place was junk. The walls are so thin I might as well be in the next room with neighbors. The bathroom door had a hole in it. The shower floor was so old it was peeling away. The toilet ran all night and the furniture was very used at best
Clean and great location
They charge 20$ a dog and when checking out they say that you didn't pay to get another 20$ out of you. Get receipts!!
perfect oceanfront location
Not a big deal but you had to go to sister property next door for bar and music
From the very beginning the staff made us feel welcome and they were extremely accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. The location is fabulous, too!
Parking at check-in was a little difficult, but nothing that detracted from the entire experience.
The views and the fact it's on the beach are great qualities.
As a young couple with no kids the resort can get loud at times in the pool areas.

The Witchdoctors and tribal superstition are causing trouble for the Jungle Doctor once again - but armed with the truth, the doctor and his staff are about to open the eyes of the local people to what is causing their problems - and it isn't curses and spells.
There are dark and dangerous events at foot in Mvumi. The Jungle Doctor not only has to look out for the needs of his sick patients but he also has to keep an eye out for his staff. There is a prisoner on the loose and they are all in danger as Dawa, the witchdoctor has vengeance on his mind.
The Jungle Doctor has many challenges to deal with - for example running a surgical theatre in the middle of the African Jungle. There are urgent operations to perform and life saving surgery needed - but they don't always have all the tools necessary. However, that doesn't stop them. 'Do it yourself' could well be the motto of the Mvumi hospital. A football, some parts of a stethoscope, an ancient foot pump and an empty pickle bottle provide, for virtually nothing, an anaesthetic machine which prevents suffering and saves lives.
In the African jungle, short journeys can become life threatening when the weather takes a turn for the worse. But it's not only the weather that is against them, there are many other difficulties for the Jungle Doctor to tackle. Even small cuts can become serious infections - and infections can lead to sickness, even death if not treated properly.
However, this time the Jungle Doctor has help at hand with the new flying ambulance and the first radio phone to be operated at Mvumi Mission Hospital.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Another activist judge has intervened against the will of the people of the state of Alabama, blocking protections for children and women in that state.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
7/25/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in U.S.
Keywords: Alabama, law, women's rights, safety, abortion
MOBILE, AL (Catholic Online) - Judge Myron H. Thompson has blocked a key safety provision in the new Alabama health law that asks doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals in the event they cause serious injury to a mother during the course of an invasive abortion procedure. It's a common sense measure that doesn't actually restrict abortions.
Judge Thompson has blocked that provision of the law until March 2014.
Abortion proponents claim that basic safety measures such as these are unnecessary because abortion is considered "safe."
However, it is a medical fact that abortion isn't safe. Abortion kills children, scars mothers, both physically and emotionally, and has the potential to kill them Along with their babies. Despite the alleged safety of the practice, moms are killed in botched abortions. Few doctors choose to enter the abortion industry because of the danger and liability inherent in the activity.
Abortion mill advocates have screamed that paying for admission privileges would force them to shut down-a favorite lie of the industry. In other places where abortionists have admitting privileges, no clinics have shut down.
Indeed, abortionists claim that abortions are the least of the services they provide and are quick to claim that the bulk of their services have to do with women's health, such as breast cancer screenings and the distribution of contraceptives. These two claims, put together, do not even make logical sense.
The reality is that doctors who provide abortions make plenty of money and can easily afford the admission privileges . However, they do not want to pay for them because it would cut into profits.
This is very telling. Abortionists do not provide "services" because they care about their Orwellian concept of "women's health." Anyone who cared about women's health would not kill baby girls or subject adult women to chemicals, invasive procedures, and sterilizations, preventing them from experiencing the joys of motherhood.
Instead, these doctors are most concerned about their profits. How many abortion doctors drive the same cars most of us do, or live in our neighborhoods? Abortion providers are not exactly strapped for cash.
The most recent ruling in Alabama is just another in a string of setbacks for children and mothers across the nation. Despite the passage of protections that at least discourage the use of abortion as birth control, judges across the country are rolling them back.
The abortion lobby is very powerful and has gained support by indoctrinating the young into believing that abortion is a "right" and it is a question of "choice," rather than recognizing that it is actually a matter of life. Women are being convinced that children are inconvenient burdens and that it is normal to be libertine about sexual activity and that pumping oneself with chemicals that upset a woman's most fundamental biological functions is somehow safe and acceptable.
In reality, these women are victims of a satanic lie, perpetuated by a neo-patriarchy that treats women as objects rather than people, and convinces them that it alone has their interests in mind. Sadly, Judges, who should be wise to this, are victims of the lie too. And that makes hundreds of thousands of children and millions of women, victims in a very real and gory way.

The term 'Slash and Burn' farming relates to an old agricultural practice that has historically been used throughout most of the world. It is a method which quickly creates open land through the cutting and burning of forests and woodlands to create fields for agriculture, or pasture for livestock.
Today the term is mainly associated with the dramatic loss of tropical rain forests, but the 'slash and burn' technique is still used by between 200 and 500 million people worldwide
The biggest problem of using 'slash and burn' in tropical rainforests is the large scale erosion that usually occurs afterwards. Since there are few active roots in the ground or a protective tree canopy to act as temporary water storage, there is no longer anything left to prevent the surface run-off of water. Therefore, any small remaining amounts of nutrients are washed away causing the phenomenon known as 'desertification' - this is when no further growth of any type may arise for generations.
The world's rainforests - and therefore the world at large - are already at risk from catastrophic climate change. In less than 50 years we have seen the destruction of over half of the worlds rainforest environment due to logging and 'slash and burn' farming. However the loss of the rainforest continues to progress at an alarming rate - equivalent to an area of two football fields every second!
It is these emissions of greenhouse gases that are causing global warming. In simple terms, if there were no rainforests to absorb CO2, the temperature of the earth would rise, and in turn so would global sea levels. That is the reality that the world is facing and why its effects should concern everybody.

Snow Causing Problems in OKC
By AP
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Emergency Medical Services Authority spokeswoman says an EMSA ambulance and a Canadian County sheriff's patrol car collided on a snow slickened Oklahoma City roadway.
EMSA spokeswoman Lara O'Leary says there were no injuries in the Tuesday morning accident in western Oklahoma City.
O'Leary says the ambulance was responding to a 911 call when the call was canceled. She says the ambulance was turning around to return to service when the accident occurred.
O'Leary says the ambulance service has responded to seven auto accidents and 12 people who have slipped and fallen since midnight and that 10 people have been transported to area hospitals. Their conditions were not available.

help in locating public gardens KY to MI
We will be returning from south-western Kentucky to the Detroit area on Memorial Day weekend. I'd love to visit public gardens on the way home. We will be driving thru Indianapolis to I-75 north. Any recommendations?
Later in the summer, we are planning another trip, perhaps to Ontario by car. Any favorites in south-east Canada or even good old Michigan that I should know about?
I can't help you with this and this is an incredibly underused board but there are lots of good regional guides to visiting gardens that you can find in bookstores-- I have "the complete guide to north american gardens" although I only have the northeast book. It is certainly not complete but it is a good guide nonetheless.
I live and work in the corridor you plan to travel. Louisville will be on your flight path, along I-65.
Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest is a fine stop, just a mile off I-65 in Clermont KY north of Elizabethtown. In existence since the 1930s, it evolved into a fine arboretum under the loving hand of horticulturist Buddy Hubbuch starting in the 1960s and its woody collection is probably one of the finest in the Ohio River valley region. Visit their website at www.bernheim.org and learn about their expanded emphasis on their natural areas mission, updated master planning, and "green architecture" for the new visitor's center.
Continuing north into Louisville, I'll put in a plug for Louisville Metro Parks (that's where I work) that are an easy hop off the highway. The historic core of the system was designed by Frederick Law Olmsted in the 1890s, linked by broad tree-lined neighborhood parkways, and we're proud to say that we are actively restoring and rehabiliting the design intent of this wonderful legacy. From the limestone ridges and Beargrass Creek valley landscape of Cherokee Park; to the wild scenic reservation of Iroquois Park's forests; to the broad vistas of the Ohio River valley in Shawnee Park, the Louisville Metro Parks offers something of interest for all and a respite from your hectic trip north. Sound like a chamber of commerce ad? There is also the relatively new Waterfront Park downtown on the river (not a Metro Park, but we are proud of it too) with ample brand new playground installations and huge waterplay areas for cooling down on what promises to be a hot Memorial Day weekend.
Also in the city is Cave Hill Cemetery, established in 1848. Not exactly what you'd term a public garden, but it contains the oldest collection of woody plants in Louisville and is a calming green space in the middle of Louisville's urban center. The architecture of the memorials is complemented by the plants, and is worth the visit.
Finally, I'd recommend a visit to Yew Dell Gardens in Crestwood KY, just 20 minutes up I-71 from Louisville. The estate of the late Theodore Klein, well-known midwest nurseryman, is a fabulous collection of plants assembled over the last 70 years and now under the guidance of horticulturist Paul Cappiello and the non-profit governing board. Mr. Klein was an avid plantsman with a keen eye for the extraordinary among the ordinary, especially in regard to native plants of the region. He was incredibly active in the holly and magnolia realms, and the plantings around his property illustrate that better than any words could. See their website at www.yewdellgardens.org for more info.
Enjoy your time passing through our region, and I hope you like some of these suggestions.
Not really a public garden... when I was in MI .. there is a school -- Cranbrook... it is a wonderful place to wander around.. lots of artwork in the gardens.. waterfalls.. and great spots to think and maybe a picnic on the greens..
I love the place... still have a gate photo on my wall... you would enjoy it I believe...
have fun on the trip
