Frigid temps cause refreezing; motorists urged to stay off roads From Amber Hale Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 highway crews continue active plowing and treating operations across the district. Sunshine during the day has helped activate salt and promote some melting; however, temperatures remain well below freezing, and wet roadways are expected to refreeze quickly after sunset. As of 5pmET on Monday, January 26, 2026, priority A and B routes--including interstates, parkways, and major highways--are passable; however, slush remains in some locations. Rural roadways, designated as priority C routes, may remain snow-covered as crews continue plowing and grading operations. KYTC strongly encourages motorists to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary. If travel cannot be avoided, drivers should reduce speed, increase following distance, use major routes when possible, and carry an emergency car kit. Motorists are reminded to give snowplows plenty of space and never pass a plow on the shoulder. Kentucky's Quick Clearance Law requires vehicles involved in non-injury crashes to move to the shoulder when possible. In addition to snow and ice removal, crews have responded to multiple downed trees and power lines across the district. These hazards have restricted access and prevented the reopening of some routes until utility companies can safely clear the lines. 2026-01-26 19:07:42 | Comments | Printable version

TJSCH is first provider in US to offer BrainWatch From Stacey Biggs When patients arrive in the emergency department confused, unresponsive, or experiencing seizure-like episodes, time is critical. Worried families want answers quickly, and doctors need to understand what's happening inside the brain as soon as possible. At T.J. Samson Community Hospital, new technology is helping give doctors faster information for patients with potentially dangerous neurological issues. Recently T.J. Samson became the first hospital in the U.S. to introduce BrainWatch from Natus, a rapid electroencephalogram (EEG) system that delivers critical insights to suspected seizure activity in patients within minutes. Not all seizures show visible signs when they are occurring, and EEG acts as a window into the brain for doctors to provide diagnosis and treatment. Using a comfortable, wireless headband, BrainWatch begins recording brain activity almost immediately, giving doctors valuable insights right from the start. Dr. Kyra Schmidt, a Board-certified neurologist at T.J. Samson, championed the implementation of this exciting new technology. "Even in the best circumstances, a traditional EEG testing may have a wait time of up to several hours," says Dr. Schmidt. "For some patients, this is a crucial window for us to provide treatment. BrainWatch gives us the data we need to confidently diagnose and treat patients much faster."
