Bear could have been looking for snack WARRENTON — It’s been several days since the last bear sighting in Warrenton, and, after talking with state wildlife ofﬁ cials, local police hope the multiple trash can raids were the animal’s last big snack before bedding down to nap through the winter. Despite the Oregon C oast’s mild winters, black bears here do enter a kind of hiberna- tion period, according to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife. And right before they enter that period, they spend the last few days gorg- ing. Male black bears hiber- nate later than female bears and cubs, so wildlife ofﬁ cials theorize that the bear (or bears) spotted multiple times in Ham- mond and Warrenton recently was likely male. Bears’ regular food is scarce this time of year so they are “looking for anything easy to eat, like garbage,” War- renton Police Chief Mathew Workman said wildlife ofﬁ - cials told him. The state has no plans to come up and look for the bear right now. That would change if the bear sightings start up again and the bear becomes a “prob- lem animal,” trying to get into houses, hurting pets or having interactions with people. Bear sightings in Warren- ton and Hammond are rare, though both black bears and cougars are known to roam Clatsop County’s forests. On the Long Beach Penin- sula in Washington state, res- idents are very familiar with bears. During the spring months as well as the months leading up to winter, reports of bears walk- ing down roadways or spotted getting into trash are common. In 2014, the Washington Department of Fish and Wild- life brought a legal suit against an Ilwaco woman, Doris Parks, who, they said, was feeding bears from her back porch. Over the years, the state has had to capture and kill or relocate several bears near the woman’s home. Oregon is believed to have 25,000 to 30,000 black bears. They are smaller than griz- zly bears (though size can vary among bears of both species) and are omnivores, eating every- thing from berries and grass to, sometimes, other animals. Though they are called “black,” these bears can be brown, cin- namon or even blond in color. According to the Department of Fish and Wildlife , attacks from black bears are “unlikely.” They seem to prefer avoiding humans, and the state recommends giv- ing any bear encountered a way to escape. ON THE RECORD Assault • At 12:20 a.m. Friday, a woman called 911 to report she was being assaulted by her boyfriend, but when a Clatsop County Sheriff’s Ofﬁ ce deputy arrived at a residence on Westlake Lane in Warren- ton, the woman was arrested. Michelle Lynn Cov- entry, 45, a transient from Seaside, was arrested for fourth-degree assault and post-prison supervision.

The combined daily bag limit is two adult salmon. Only one hatchery steelhead per day may also be kept. Passage of salmon at Bon- neville Dam Aug. 1 through Monday totaled 439,650 adult fall C hinook. Recent daily pas- sage dropped to around 200 adults, with the run essentially complete. An advisory committee set up by the state and fed- eral governments to replen- ish salmon runs met Oct. 17.
