bc bears. (Sorry for the ~delay~ on this, but we were real busy early this week. Here’s the Prouty story. Maybe we will include a special “caption this” question in the next Lucky 7 News Quiz …)

A three-year-old female black bear yawns while waiting for several hours about 50 feet above the ground in a large maple tree in the lawn of the SAE fraternity in Hanover, N.H., on July 14, 2018. The day’s activity from the Prouty and campus tours made the bear nervous to come down, said Hanover Deputy Fire Chief Michael Hinsley. (Valley News – Geoff Hansen) Copyright Valley News.

This year’s #cycling-focused event, which also included #rowing and #golfing, included some 4,100 people and raised more than $2.6 million for the Norris Cotton Cancer Center, according to event official Kiki Keating. 2️⃣ Steven Leach, director of the cancer center, right, speaks with Doug Lewis, of #PomfretVT, after both finished cycling in the Prouty. Lewis formed Team Hoss in 2006, a group of about 100 cyclists, golfers, rowers and walkers who raise money in the #Prouty in honor of Lewis' brother Dale "Hoss" Lewis, who died of #cancer in 2005. This year, they reached an accumulated $1 million. 3️⃣ A 3-year-old female black #bear yawns while waiting for several hours about 50 feet above the ground in a large maple tree in the lawn of the SAE fraternity in Hanover.

Photos: Backyard bear on Forest Avenue in Lebanon

A reader sent in these photos of a bear behind a home on Forest Avenue (a neighborhood behind The Little Store).

Remember, lock up your trash and take down your bird feeders so that bears keep on movin’ like this one did, because a fed bear is a dead bear.
