Circuit Court Clerks help children in need of lifesaving transplants Despite the many challenges 2020 has brought to communities across the state, the Kentucky Circuit Clerks' Trust For Life has continued to grow the Kentucky Organ Donor Registry in an effort to save and heal the lives of those waiting on an organ, tissue, or cornea transplant, including the many children on the waiting list. "The continued support from our residents means a great deal to so many in need, including our children," says Dennis Loy, Adair County Circuit Court Clerk. "Since 1992 more than two million Kentuckians have joined the Kentucky Organ Donor Registry. Those registrations and support are critical for our ongoing efforts to save the lives of as many patients as possible on the transplant waiting list."

The actors, the videoing and the background music added to the good performances. Thanks to all for sharing your talent and time to research and memorize the stories that told about these people.

Deer-related accidents increase in the fall Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Frankfort, KY - The arrival of autumn signifies the approaching end of another year as nature prepares for winter dormancy. However, with beautiful fall colors also comes an increase in vehicles encountering deer in roadways. Drivers should be aware of deer throughout the year, but the months of October through December bring a spike in deer-related accidents. Shorter periods of daylight and cooler temperatures trigger the deer breeding season - known as the "rut" - putting whitetails on the move. "November is usually the top month of deer activity due to the rut," said Kyle Sams, acting deer and elk program coordinator for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources.

Letter: Not everyone was wearing a mask Carol Edwards writes: The day I voted, I was wearing a mask and was greeted at the main entrance by a worker who was also wearing a mask. She directed me to the basement to vote. When I was entering the room, another worker was exiting. She was not wearing a mask nor was she carrying one. A few moments later she came back to the voting room still without a mask, all the while laughing and talking with various people in the room. After many minutes, I noticed she had finally donned a mask. Would that person be one of the positives?Comments re: Judge's office closed today and tomorrow, 28-29 Oct 2020 Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2020-10-28 09:55:41 | Comments | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Judge's office closed today and tomorrow, 28-29 Oct 2020 By Gale Cowan Adair County Judge Executive The Adair County Judge's Office (only this office, all others staying the same) is completely closed today and tomorrow, October 28 and 29, 2020. I was notified late Tuesday night that we had someone in our office for a meeting on Monday morning that ended up testing positive for the COVID19 virus on Tuesday. Even though our building is closed to general public, we are continuing with county business and at times it is necessary for people to still be in our offices by appointment. Everyone in the office was social distancing and wearing mask, but I still want to go on the safe side and close until we can get the area fogged/disinfected on Thursday.

Spiders from Adair County, continuing the discussion By Miss Donna Rieder I was very interested in seeing Dr. Downen's spider photos, and was hoping you could post a couple photos of spiders I've spotted on my evening walkabouts in the Clifty Creek Farm. I wear a headlamp after dark, and enjoy seeing all those twinkling eyes of the wolf spiders shining like diamonds in the light! The woods are a wonderful place to be after dark! Clifty Creek Farm is located on White Oak Church Road in Adair County. Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2020-10-28 07:25:18 | Comments

Red Zones asked to prepare weekly COVID-19 Reduction Plan Each Thursday's incidence rate map published on kycovid19.ky.gov determines red zone counties for the following week. By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Tuesday, the Governor said that community, long-term care and school leaders and administrators, as well as Kentucky families in red zone counties, should prepare a weekly COVID-19 reduction plan based on each Thursday's incidence rate map. Thursday's red zone map, published on kycovid19.ky.gov, provides communities and families time to plan and accommodate the new red zone reduction recommendations and other existing guidance, including for schools, the following week (Monday through Sunday). The Governor said schools already follow the Thursday map for when a county enters the red zone. "If you're in a red county, anything you don't need to do, don't. Stay home as much as possible," Gov. Beshear said. "Schools shouldn't be the only ones that are taking these steps. When you coordinate these two responses, the schools and the community together, we can get the best result."
