Bears are BACK — and they’re HUNGRY!

Spring is here and bears are waking up from hibernation with one thing on their minds: FOOD. And they’ll go wherever it’s easiest to find it — even your backyard.

The good news? You can prevent unwanted bear encounters by being BearWise and removing attractants before bears find them first.

This spring, take action:
✔️ Lock up trash, recycling, and compost
✔️ Bring in bird feeders when bears are active
✔️ Keep pet food indoors
✔️ Clean and store grills after every use
✔️ Never feed or approach bears

Once bears learn to rely on an artificial food source, it can put both people and bears at risk.
Recently in the Southcentral Region, State Game Warden Clark responded to a repeated conflict involving livestock. In this case, he was able to safely trap and relocate the bear to a less rural area, but that’s not always the answer.

Let’s keep wildlife wild and our communities safe by making smart choices today.

Blakely Police Department, Scam Alert

The Blakely Police Department is advising residents of a scam involving letters being mailed claiming unpaid Pennsylvania Turnpike toll violations.

These notices are made to look official. They may reference a court, list a judge, and even include a QR code for payment. This is done to pressure recipients into paying quickly without verifying the information.

⚠️ Important Reminders:

• The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission does NOT send payment demands through municipal court notices like this
• Do NOT scan any QR code included in unsolicited mail
• Do NOT send payment without verifying through official sources

If you receive a letter like this:

✔ Do not respond or send payment
✔ Verify your account directly through the official PA Turnpike website
✔ Contact the Blakely Police Department if you have concerns

If you already scanned the QR code or provided payment or personal information, report it immediately and monitor your financial accounts.

Please share this post to help protect others in our community.
