Residents, earlier today there was a bear sighting in the area of Grandview and Floyd. The bear fled into the woods and evaded capture. All of the appropriate authorities were notified, including our local schools. As we enter the summer months please remember to keep all garbage cans covered, not just to keep away bears- but other wild animals as well.
