* * * IMPORTANT CLARIFICATION - AMY PIERCE WELCH * * *

In last week's Woodford Sun, Nov. 20, 2025, we reported in the "News of Record," under "District Court, Misdemeanors," that a woman named Amy Nicole Welch pleaded guilty to several crimes, including domestic assault with injury. HOWEVER, there is another, different, Amy Welch who lives in WoFoCo, and whose middle name is Pierce.

Amy PIERCE Welch is a public servant and was appointed by Governor Andy Beshear as the Commissioner of the Interstate Compact for Juveniles, and is employed by the Kentucky Justice Cabinet. This is a significant position.

Since last week, Ms. (Pierce) Welch has had several people ask her about this. Given her bad luck to share the same last name of a convicted criminal in her home county. we thought this clarification needed to be made. If you meet her, be sure to say "THANK YOU" for the terrific and important job she does for all of us.
