The body of a missing Grayson County man was found after an extensive multi-agency search.
Grayson County Emergency Management said in a Facebook post the body of 83-year-old Eugene Logsdon of Snap was located at approximately 4:50 p.m. on June 18th.
Grayson County EMA said emergency personnel were notified the previous day of a possible water rescue operation in the area of 9700 Grayson Springs Road. Family members of Logsdon told Grayson County Dispatch that Logsdon “had gone fishing near the bridge and had last been seen around 10 a.m.” Logsdon’s vehicle was found at the scene but he could not be located.
Multiple local, regional, and state agencies assisted in the search for Logsdon and faced challenging weather conditions in the search. Grayson County Emergency Management thanked all involved for their assistance and support.
Baptist Health Hardin President Rob Ramey says the upcoming facility on Centennial Avenue in Radcliff is an innovative medical solution for residents on the northern end of Hardin County.
“You can come in and remove a little bit of the uncertainty of ‘should I be going to an emergency room or should I be going to an urgent care center?’” Ramey said. “We’re going to help you to understand how sick you are and then we’re going to put you into the appropriate path for care when you’re at this location.”
Ramey was the speaker at the Hardin County Chamber of Commerce’s Business at Breakfast event last week. He said the project is on pace with the original construction estimate, with the freestanding emergency room and urgent care facility set to open in mid-September and the primary care office opening later in the fall. Ramey said Baptist Health is anticipating 60 to 70 new employees will work at the facility.
Ramey said the operations of the Radcliff ER will be of the same level of care as the hospital ER.
“It is a department of the hospital,” Ramey said. “It will have CT. It will have ultrasound. It will have the technologies, many of the technologies, that we have at our hospital emergency department.”
Ramey said the facility is the product of Baptist Health Hardin’s evaluations of what the growing community needs.
“Do I think we’re gonna go from 75,000 patients at our hospital emergency department down to 60?” Ramey said. “No, I think we’re going to continue to be incredibly busy at the emergency department, but as I see the growth within our community, this is critical to continue to meet the changing needs and the continuing escalation of needs of our community.”
An additional ambulance and ambulance crew will be stationed at the Radcliff facility in the event that a patient needs care available at the hospital.
May unemployment in Kentucky is down slightly from where it was the previous year.
The Kentucky Center for Statistics says the state unemployment average for May was 4.5 percent. While that is slightly above the average reported in April of 4.3 percent, it is down .2 percent from the May 2025 average of 4.7 percent.
Kentucky’s unemployment average for May came in slightly above the national unemployment rate, which the U.S. Department of Labor says at 4.3 percent is even with the rate reported in May 2025.
The Kentucky Education and Labor Cabinet says the state’s civilian labor force, which includes people currently employed and people actively searching for work, saw a decrease of 556 people from April to May, bringing the total civilian labor force to 2,097,040 people.
The Government, Professional and Business Services, Leisure and Hospitality, and Mining and Logging sectors saw increases from April to May. Numbers in the Educational and Health Services and the Information Services sectors were unchanged. Decreases were seen in the Financial Activities, Construction, Other Services, Manufacturing, and Trade, Transportation, and Utilities sectors.

If a bonfire is part of your summer nights, or you are clearing property and using a burn pit, make sure you are taking steps to reduce fire hazards.
“Number one, make sure you know what your local ordinances are, what you can and can’t do, especially if you’re out at a campground,” said Radcliff Deputy Fire Marshal Tommy Crane. “A lot of the campgrounds, especially the state parks and everything, they have rules, and most of them already have set up areas, little pits you can use.”
The recommendations for fire pits are similar to the recommendations for grills.
“Keep it about 15 feet away from your house at least, and make sure you’re using only good, clean wood,” Crane said. “In the cities of Radcliff and in Elizabethtown, you’re not supposed to burn grass clippings and leaves because they smolder.”
Keep kids from getting too close to the fire, and have materials ready to put out the fire when necessary. Keep an eye on the weather conditions to keep the fire contained.
“Sometimes in the summer it gets dry, and we want to make sure that you’re careful there so that the fire doesn’t spread, and then also make sure that you’re watching the wind conditions,” Crane said.
If you will be doing outdoor burning, contact your local fire company ahead of time so the burn doesn’t result in unnecessary emergency responses.
