Daily News for Friday, July 4, 2025
Bear sightings can increase during summer Frankfort, KY - As young male black bears disperse from their primary range in eastern Kentucky during summer months, biologists and game wardens with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources want to remind the public that sightings are possible across the state. "We typically hear about sightings of black bears in unusual areas in early summer as they roam out of mountain counties," said John Hast, Bear Program coordinator. "These juvenile bears can easily wander into populated areas, even city centers, because they don't yet know any better. Confused and scared, they may hide during the day and exit the area at night. Residents should keep their distance, remove all food sources and let the bear move on when he feels safe to do so."

Carol Perkins: The Fourth of July Previous Column: They come out of the woodwork By Carol Perkins On this 4th of July, most of us will place our flags on our porches, join friends for picnics, light firecrackers, watch fireworks, and be grateful for living in a country of choices. Guy and I will watch the celebrations from the Capitol in the cool of our den. Churches, like ours, often host picnics featuring hot dogs, watermelon, and potato salad. We fan off the flies, watch the children play, and sport our red, white, and blue outfits. This is a tradition. Recently, a poll reported that only 35% were proud of the United States, so I looked online for some interesting information about why we should be proud to live in our country. From the list of ten, I choose to tell five. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2025-07-04 08:54:33 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Carol Perkins
