There is news today about tire removal, seismic activity in Kentucky and nursing home inspections.

Our Toby Gibbs has that and more.

And this look at headlines around Kentucky.

More than 70% of Kentucky's nursing homes have gone for more than two years without an inspection, according to a special report by the Herald-Leader.

The newspaper reviewed data from the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and found as of June, 73% of Kentucky's 277 nursing homes were listed as going more than two years without a so-called annual inspection, far worse than the national two year backlog average of 11%.

The newspaper said a dangerous shortage of inspectors in the state is causing the backlog and putting patients at risk.

For an in-depth look at what's being called a system in crisis.

An official with Kentucky Power told regulators last week that the utility will not have enough power for both residential customers and a proposed crypto mining facility beginning in 2026.

That's according to Louisville Public Media.

Yvonne International, a Chinese owned company, proposed building a $250 million computing complex on 55 acres leased from Kentucky Power at the Big Sandy Generating Station.

Kentucky has been trying to attract cryptocurrency companies, including passing legislation that became law in 2021 that provides tax and sales incentives.

The City of Bowling Green has updated its injury leave policy for employees who've been hurt on the job, according to the Bowling Green Daily News.

Seismologists with the Kentucky Geological Survey are heading into a northeast Kentucky cave to monitor underground seismic activity.

WQ said earlier this year, a size monitor was set up in a cave in Mammoth Cave National Park to monitor the New Madrid earthquake fault activity.

Now the Geological Survey has launched a project at Carter Caves near Olive Hill to investigate rare earthquakes in a more stable part of the state.

The Geological Survey tells WQ the Carter Caves Project should be completed by the end of the year.

Several agencies are planning a massive tire removal event in Pike County at the lab.

It's a fork of the big sandy River, according to the Appalachian News Express.

Pike County officials said in the approximately eight miles of waterway, there are over 2500 tires.

The officials tell the newspaper the tires are not only an environmental concern, but cleanup is needed to promote adventure tourism.

They're asking for volunteers to help in the cleanup event on August 26.
