New System update from Adair County Clerk From Lisa Greer, Adair County Clerk The new state system for vehicle registration is running; however, there are still numerous glitches that must be worked out by the State programmers. They are working continuously to solve these issues. Most transactions we can process at this time, but there are some transactions that it will not allow us to process. Due to these glitches in the system, we will not be open on Saturdays in January. We will reevaluate the situation the first of February. Hopefully, these issues will be quickly resolved. I would like to personally thank everyone that has been though our office this week, for their patience and understanding. It is very much appreciated. We ask for your continued patience as we learn, and state gets their glitches resolved. Please allow extra time when you come to our office.

KSP: Don't drive as usual in winter weather There are three actions you do most when you drive: accelerate, turn and brake. In winter weather, you should only do one of those actions at a time. Attempting more than one of these actions at once can cause slide-outs or spin-outs says the KSP. When traveling downhill, if possible, switch to a lower gear and gently tap your brakes. This helps to avoid burning your brakes, and in winter weather, it helps keep traction. 2024-01-18 09:08:22 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for January 18 Happy Birthday, Andrea Curry (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brandon Curl (2006) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Charles Greer | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Chris Bauer | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, David Begley | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Donald Hare | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jeff Hadley (1961) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Josephine Wilson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kathy DeRossett (1965) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Krystal N.
