Letter: I feel it is time for a change

Mary Bardin writes:

In response to Wm Feese' comments, I agree with Heather Spoon and agree Adair County so badly needs an Occupational Tax. I disagree with Wm Feese on the fact everyone wants change.

I attended the Fiscal Court meeting last night and could not believe the magistrates are so against bringing in extra revenue for Adair County. That tells me people do not want change.

Circuit Court Clerk's Office celebrates National Donate Life Month

Every April, Adair County Circuit Court Clerk Dennis Loy celebrates National Donate Life Month in partnership with the Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks' Trust For Life and Donate Life America.

"Donors are true heroes who provide hope and life to beloved dads and husbands, like Joey," said Dennis Loy, Adair County Circuit Court Clerk. "Over 60 percent of Kentucky's adults have registered their decision to be an organ donor after they have passed away by joining the Donor Registry. Yet the number of people in need of transplants continues to outpace the number of organs donated."

National Donate Life Month focuses on the importance of registering your decision to be a donor, honoring deceased and living donors, and celebrating the lives they saved. It is the generosity of donors and donor families that makes saving lives through transplantation possible.
