Mountain Home Mayor and Rotarian Hillrey Adams addressed the local Rotary Club on Feb. 11 as the invited guest of Rotarian Tom Kiley.
Last summer, the City of Mountain Home held its first Summer Concert Series at Hickory Park, which was a gift to the city from the Rotary Club of Mountain Home in 1954. In 2020, Adams approached his own club about volunteering to help set up and operate the concessions during the live concerts. Rotary board member Tom Kiley headed up that venture, which was highly successful for both the city and the local club.

Mountain Home Mayor and Rotarian Hillrey Adams addressed the local Rotary Club earlier this month as the invited guest of Rotarian Tom Kiley with an update on the city’s parks.
Mayor Adams provided information about proposed upgrades and additions to the local city parks. He discussed at length the prospect of a community and aquatics center at McCabe Park, saying it would include both an indoor and outdoor pool, which could be used for therapy and swim team activities and tournaments.

Nearly 9 million people a year are dying as a result of the burning of fossil fuels, a study has found, roughly twice the previous estimate by the World Health Organization.
In the United States, ingesting the fine particulate matter produced by burning fossil fuels kills an estimated 350,000 people a year, including more than 7,600 people in Massachusetts, according to the study by researchers at Harvard and other universities.
