A bear and her cubs have been spotted around the south end of Easton from the Banks Road area to the Gate Ridge Road area over the last few weeks.  Easton Police say these bears live in the area and move frequently, especially this time of the year. They will pass through, stopping occasionally along the way. Residents are encouraged to bring bird feeders and garbage cans inside, to clean grills after use and not to leave pet food outdoors.  If a bear is spotted, people should not approach it and should make noise or wave arms to make presence known.
