Tony Allen Simons Glen Leroy Daniels Man injured by bear near Creswell; victim treated, released CRESWELL — A male black bear injured a man after encountering him and his dog in an incident that happened Sunday on private industrial timber- land west of Creswell, Ore. The incident happened at about 12:20 p.m. May 10 about five miles west of Creswell near Camas Swale Road, which is in a semi-rural area with a mix of rural residential and pri- vate timberland properties in Lane County. The 72-year-old man was able to walk home af- ter the incident and seek medical attention. He was treated and released from the hospital Monday. According to an Oregon State Police interview with the victim, he and his dog had hiked from his proper- ty to the adjoining timber company property. While walking a forest road, they encountered a bear in the road only 20 feet away. The dog barked and ran at the bear. The bear knocked the dog down and was on the dog when the victim approached yelling and waving his arms in an attempt scare the bear from the dog. The bear turned from the dog and redirected to the victim. The bear charged, knocking the man to the ground. The man fought back and after a short time, the bear left. The man and dog, both injured, hiked approximately one mile back to his residence be- fore being transported to receive medical care. The man suffered lac- erations and punctures on his forearm as well as lacerations to his torso and head. He was released from the hospital yesterday after receiving treatment for his wounds. His dog was treated by a veterinarian. Both the man and his dog are expected to fully recover. The man described the bear as mature, black in color with a “cream” col- ored muzzle. He did not see any other bears at the had previously self-iden- tified on social media as having the virus.

We also want to express our appreciation to her for contacting us for the clarification. — Ned Hickson, editor DEATH NOTICES Tony Allen Simons, 50, of Cottage Grove, OR passed away on January 20th 2020.
