KY Afield Outdoors: Coyotes in the urban landscape By Kevin Kelly Frankfort, KY - An expansion from its historic range in the interior plains brought the coyote to Kentucky where as recently as the early 1970s sightings of these animals were still considered rare. Coyotes are now common across the state but their presence in urban and suburban areas can surprise residents. "People in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and Denver have grown accustomed to seeing a coyote strolling through a city park," said Laura Palmer, furbearer biologist with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "In Kentucky, people are still getting used to seeing them in urban areas." Reports of coyote sightings in residential areas increase in the spring and early summer as coyotes breed and give birth to pups.

Morgan School, Cumberland County, KY remembered Morgan School was located in the rolling hills between Columbia and Burkesville and is now restored as a museum. The little one-room school is remembered here by the Chowning brothers who had many family connections. Morgan School represents the backbone of public education, a bygone era way of learning that was repeated throughout Kentucky and across the nation in small, rural communities. Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Dr. John E. Chowning From talking with our late father and others in the local community years ago, I think Morgan School was constructed in the period right before the beginning of World War I. It was constructed on a piece of property that was then part of the "Morgan Farm." The Morgan’s were the family from whom our father purchased our farm when he moved to Kentucky from the Dale Hollow Lake area of north-central Tennessee. He and his mother and sister had been displaced by the impoundment of Dale Hollow in the early 1940s. My older brother, Joseph Chattin (Joe Chat as we know him) Chowning attended Morgan School during his first three years of grade school. At that time, like many rural one-room schools, grades one through eight were taught by a single teacher in a single classroom.
