Adair Co. Clerk Lisa Greer: Retiring at end of 2026 By Lisa Greer I am pleased to announce my retirement, effective at the end of this term in December 2026. It has been an honor and privilege to serve the people of Adair County. I want to take a moment to sincerely thank the wonderful people of Adair County for your support, encouragement, and kindness throughout my term as County Clerk. Serving Adair County has been more than just a job for me. It has been a profound honor. Each day brings its unique challenges, but the drive to work for the betterment of our county and its citizens has made every hurdle worth overcoming. The skills I acquired, the bonds I fostered, and the impact we collectively made have been some of the most gratifying aspects of my professional life. I deeply value the unwavering support and encouragement I've received from Adair County. The memories and lessons from this journey will remain etched in my heart as I step into the next phase of my life. First, I want to give Praise to God, for without him as my Savior, this journey would have been impossible. To my family, friends, and supporters during the years of my service--thank you for standing beside me and believing in the vision of service and integrity we shared. I also want to from the bottom of my heart thank my awesome staff for their hard work, dedication, teamwork, and commitment to the citizens of Adair County. In my tenure as clerk, they have overcome and adapted never-before-seen challenges (COVID) and numerous hurdles and changes. I wish our next County Clerk "2027" great success. From the bottom of my heart--thank you Adair County for your trust, your kindness, your support, and privilege to serve Adair County. I look forward to serving you for another 14 months. Your friend, Lisa Greer, Adair County Clerk 2025-11-06 15:02:04 | Comments | Printable version

Carol Perkins: Hats make a grand day out Previous Column: Farewell to the Beach Carol Perkins As I was leaving the house, Guy insisted on taking a picture. "The kids need to see this." The kids are now in their fifties. "You know," I said. "I'm really only twelve inside." He insisted I was maybe only five. The child within us is always present, but because of life and living, it becomes increasingly suppressed. I try to keep mine handy on occasions like this one. A few weeks ago, one of my friends passed out witch hats to our lunch group and asked us to decorate them for our Halloween lunch, which fell on Friday, October 31. She offered a fifty-dollar gift certificate to the winner.
