Thought you might want to let everyone know that the bears are out in full force. Last evening between 7:00 and 7:30, we received a knock on the door from a fellow neighbor. I am very sorry I do not know her name a very pretty woman with long red hair who walks every evening. I believe she lives on Headquarters Road in the white cape just before it turns to dirt. She told us that the bear had drug our garbage across the street. [That would have been Toby McKinnon. JB]

This particular one was not afraid of people and sat across the street and ate our garbage for at least 40 minutes. My sister Gayleen and her husband Leigh Pont arrived on their bikes and they watched him from our yard for another 10 minutes. As they rode away, they saw a second bear walking up the Watson’s driveway. I saw one of them again this morning at 8:00 as I was leaving for work.
