Two former state administrators are suing the Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice, saying they were scapegoated and unfairly demoted in 2021 after the Lexington Herald-Leader reported on problems inside the state’s juvenile detention center in Bowling Green. The plaintiffs, who are Black women, also claim discrimination, alleging the Department of Juvenile Justice paid them less than it paid others who held equivalent administrative jobs around the state. Tina Crowe was superintendent at the Warren Regional Juvenile Detention Center from Dec. 1, 2020, to Oct. 11, 2021, after two decades of climbing the ranks at the department. Rondesia Whitlow was a regional facilities administrator, supervising several detention centers, including the one in Bowling Green, until Oct. 11, 2021. Crowe and Whitlow are suing the Department of Juvenile Justice and its current and former commissioners, Randy White and Vicky Reed. The women say they were demoted on Oct. 11, 2021, after the Herald-Leader published a series of stories on problems within the state’s juvenile detention centers, including a riot and extended lockdown in the Warren Regional Juvenile Detention Center. The man who replaced Crowe as superintendent was paid more than her despite having less experience with the Department of Juvenile Justice, according
A ham cured in Kentucky now sits in a ham museum in Spain. Yes, a ham museum. Spain takes its cured pork very seriously, so that honor still makes me grin. That museum spot isn’t a fluke, either. Kentucky families have been salting, smoking, and patiently aging hams for generations.

Everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before freshman Emily McDonald made an splash for the Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team . They might not have known what would happen on Wednesday night in game four of the season, though, when she would set a record, and lead her team to a 98-30 rout of Evansville. McDonald didn't check into the game until late in the first quarter, but she immediately hit her first three-pointer. By night's end, she had made nine shots from behind the arc, a new team record, and scored a team-leading 27 points. Though McDonald was the story, she wasn't the only Wildcat to excel. Me'Arah O'Neal also had a big game, shooting 6-of-7 from the field, and recording 18 points and 8 rebounds. Ajsa Sivka added 12 points. Clara Strack had 11 points and 3 blocks. This was a game against an less talented team that Kentucky was supposed to win, so it was more about finding a rhythm, and gaining valuable experience together. For McDonald, it was a breakout party, and the first of what will likely be many big games. This article originally appeared on UK Wildcats Wire: Kentucky WBB

Kentucky residents spend more of their income on groceries than the majority of states, according to a recent analysis, with inflation driving costs further up. Consumer Affairs, a for-profit consumer research publication, reported in its Oct. 27 analysis, “ Where Are Americans Most Burdened by Grocery Costs? (2026) ,” Kentucky ranked No. 10 in the nation. Arkansas was named the No. 1 state for the highest grocery cost burden, while Oklahoma was in 50th. “The same grocery bill can be manageable for a family in one state and a financial strain for a family in another, depending on household income,” the Consumer Affairs report said. Consumer Affairs reported the average Kentucky household spends about 10.6% of the commonwealth’s median household income on groceries. Kentucky’s median household income is $64,526, and average estimated annual grocery spending amounts to $6,854 . To compile the analysis, Consumer Affairs used grocery sales data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture as well as household size and income data from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey . Grocery costs increased by 1.8% from September 2025 to September 2026, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, with steeper hikes for produce, nonalcoholic beverages, cereals and bakery
