Grizzly shot in Summer Sub home
Niki and Mark Traverse wake up at 4:30 a.m. find grizzly eating dog food C AROLYN GR ANT Bulletin Editor
In what Conservation Officer Jared Connatty says should be a wake up call to everyone, a grizzly bear was shot in a Summer Sub home (just on the edges of Kimberley, above Meadowbrook Motors) early Sunday morning. Mark and Niki Traverse were awoken at 4:30 a.m. on Sunday to noises in their kitchen and found a grizzly boar eating dog food.

“We have an air conditioner in the bedroom and it drowns out any sound,” said Niki Traverse. “But our dog was going nuts. He’s just a little dog, about 20 pounds, but he was outside the bedroom door barking the house down. “I got up to check. Mark stayed in bed. He just said, don’t let the dog out, because there are coyotes. “I came around the corner to the entry way where we have the cat and dog food. I see this huge black mass. I booked it back to the bedroom screaming, ‘there’s a bear in the house!’ Mark’s like, ‘really?’. ‘Yeah, really.’ “We have a gun cabinet in the bedroom, so Mark unlocked the gun. See GRIZZLY, page 3

On the agenda tonight is a visit from Chamber Manager Mike Guarnery, who will deliver an update on JulyFest. Other than that, it is a fairly short agenda, but Council has received some correspondence which could provoke some interesting discussion. Council has received two letters questioning their granting of a business license in Marysville for a coffee shop constructed of C Cans. See COUNCIL page 3
