2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2016 Black bears seen in Warrenton Four sightings, all at night Gloria Ziak DeGroote Two large adult black bears stand on a street in Ilwaco’s Sahalee neighborhood in 2014. Black bears have been spotted recently in Warrenton and Hammond. By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian WARRENTON —It’s rare to see black bears in Warren- ton and Hammond, but in the last few days residents have reported multiple sightings as well as tipped over and destroyed trash cans. So far there have been four sightings total, all at night, two confi rmed by police offi cers. One recent night, a War- renton P olice offi cer spotted a bear running down the road and followed it in his squad car. Video from his patrol car (which can be viewed on the department’s Facebook page), shows the bear skitter- ing down the road, the under- side of its paws fl ashing in the gleam of the patrol car’s lights. Eventually it crosses in front of the car and ducks into OBITUARIES Stevenson, Washington July 25, 1924 — Oct. 16, 2016 Natalie St. John/EO Media Group the brush alongside the road, disappearing from sight. The sightings could indi- cate multiple bears in the area. Or, said Warrenton Police Chief Mat hew Work- man, “It may be one black bear that can really cover a lot of ground.” In Workman’s eight years as chief , he can only remem- ber one confi rmed black bear sighting. Usually, he and other police offi cers are more worried about cougar sight- ings in the area. The depart- ment contacted the Ore- gon Department of Fish and Wildlife to get guidance on what to do about the bear, or bears, but hasn’t heard back yet. “Four sightings in a few days, that’s a little concern- ing to me,” Workman said. Bears don’t typically set out to hurt people, he added, but he worries what could hap- pen if bears start to make a habit out of visiting Warren- ton and Hammond’s garbage and recycling cans. Any bear that becomes trapped while foraging in human territory, or thinks it is trapped, could be dangerous.
