Baby Brown Bear Sighting Near Lone Pine Elementary!

So...I'm on my morning walk with my lovely wife Colette this morning, and all of the sudden, a car comes to a screeching stop, we look up and see a baby brown bear galloping (or whatever bears do) across the road.  So cool I thought, then I realized we are about 200 yards from Lone Pine Elementary School, in Medford Oregon.  Immediately I think, we have to notify authorities.  I call 911 as I don't know the phone number for animal control and I identify the location of the bear for them.  The man in the car, backs up, gets out of his car and says "did you just see what I saw?"  Yes!  Upon looking at the man closer, he is in a uniform, yes, a police uniform, on his way to work.  I ask him if I should go notify the school administration, he says he'll take care of that.  Then, an official police car pulls up and they make a plan. 

Meanwhile, a neighbor comes running out of their yard, "Did you see that?  Was that a bear?  I thought I was dilusional?" 

We continue our walk.  Another nearby neighbor stops at a nearby stop sign, "Did you just see a bear run by?"  I reply, "yes."  She goes on to say that she got a call from another neighbor and the bear had been sitting in her driveway.

What an exciting way to start off the day!  It looks like everyone will be safe and sound as the police force continue to be on top of the situation.
