Mark Ternent, Pennsylvania Game Commission black bear biologist, noted that, as fall progresses, bears will begin to increase their food intake to prepare for the upcoming denning season, which begins in mid- to late-November. For some bears, the search for food may lead them closer to people or homes.

Ternent offered suggestions on how to reduce the likelihood that your property will attract bruins and how to best react when a bear is encountered.

\”Bear activity can increase during the fall as bears try to consume as many calories as possible from any source they can find in preparation for denning,\” Ternent said. \”As a result, sightings of bears can increase, particularly if natural nut and berry crops are below average.

The only complaint I’ve heard (said with a smile) is everyone wants to stay longer. This seems to be another important step by our mayor James and our city council to bring life and fun back to the waterfront.

So many of the older people have wonderful memories that center on the park area. It’s lovely to see it come to life again.
