Daily News for Friday, July 3, 2026
Joyous 4th of July from the Genealogy & History Research Center By Mike Watson A list of Revolutionary War veterans who are known to have lived in Adair County. Some lived and died here; some lived here for a time and moved away; some moved here near the end of life. Several resided in Russell County once it was formed. Some lived very near the county lines and are claimed by more than one county, and rightly so.

First Lady announce launch of Domestic Violence Dashboard From Scottie Ellis Frankfort, KY - On July 2, 2026, to further protect against domestic violence, combat human trafficking and support survivors, First Lady Britainy Beshear announced that Team Kentucky has launched an interactive data dashboard for the public to more easily view data; compare statewide statistics by county and area development district; and gather specific information on offenders, domestic violence shelters and support services, as well as law enforcement-related outcomes. The dashboard includes data from each of Kentucky's annual domestic violence data reports. "Every Kentuckian - and every person - should be safe from these heinous crimes and Team Kentucky is committed to making progress as we create a safer commonwealth for everyone," Mrs. Beshear said. "This new resource will help us better target services across Kentucky so every survivor knows they have the support needed to seek justice, rebuild their lives and move forward." "No one should have to experience domestic violence, which is why my administration has worked to increase support for services and make sure our people are safe," Gov. Andy Beshear said. "By working with partners across the commonwealth, we're making sure survivors and their families have the support they need to move forward." The interactive dashboard was built and will be maintained by the Criminal Justice Statistical Analysis Center, which has compiled the state's Domestic Violence Data Report since 2023 while managing grants to support law enforcement and victim services.

Resources for Cumberland and Metcalfe county flooding From Hailey Martin Kentucky House Majority Caucus Frankfort, KY - As Kentuckians recover from the recent flooding, it is important to remember the resources available to those in crisis. Cumberland and Metcalfe County, represented by State Representative Amy Neighbors (R-Edmonton), both declared states of emergencies over the past weekend. 10 inches of rain fell in Cumberland County and over 7 inches of rain impacted Metcalfe County. "In the aftermath of a natural disaster, I am especially grateful for programs and organizations dedicated to helping victims," said Neighbors. "I want to remind my fellow Kentuckians to stay safe and informed during flood recovery. It will take time, but our communities will be restored." Applying for FEMA assistance is the first step if you were impacted by flooding; to do so, click here: www.disasterassistance.gov. Kentuckians are also encouraged to complete the Disaster Needs Survey in order to help accurately recovery direct resources. It is important to stay up to date on local road conditions and other information through local news outlets. Avoid entering floodwaters and flooded structures, when possible, for your own safety and the safety of those around you. If your home, car, or property was damaged, contact your insurance providers and be sure to document damage for insurance claims.
