A lone grizzly bear made a brief appearance in the Pineridge Estates area, up from David Thompson Secondary School, on Friday, September 28th at about 8:30 a.m.We saw tracks in someones lawn in the frost, but we never actually saw the bear, said Invermere conservation officer Lawrence Umsonst, who was joined by two RCMP officers in his search. Umsonst believes the bear likely wandered up through the Toby Creek gully and ended up in the neighbourhood, where morning traffic probably scared it back into the woods. Photo by Dave Liddell
