People-Loving,
Basement-Hugging
Bear Scrams
HAINES, Alaska Ufi — Haines’
; people-loving basement bruin has
! departed the Blake Graham
\ home, leaving Blake and his wife
once again with a choice of more
than just having to grin and bear
it.
The drowsy black bear that
stumbled through a hole in the
concrete foundation of Graham’s
home last fall and proceeded to
bed down for the winter is gone.
The bear, a vast reservoir of
snorings and rumblings — when
his winter snooze was interuppted
by household noises from above—
apparently headed for the hills
when snow which had piled up
against the hole melted.
No one saw the Blackie go, but
his bed is still there, close to the
furnace in Graham’s basement.
It’s a bed of a tossing, turning
sleeper, fashioned from old sacks
and rugs, and, now, richly en
dowed with long, black bear hair.
Graham made it clear that the
bed will not be there next fall,
bear - sleeping time rolls around
again.
And, that hole in the founda
tion is going to be plugged.
