Last week, KGVO published a story about several homeowners in the South Hills behind Cold Springs Elementary School, flooded basements and a small flood plain designation in the area.
Nearly every day this week, Bear Manager James Jonkel with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks says he has received between five to six calls about bear sightings in urban areas in western Montana.
A school parent in the South Hills neighborhood notified school officials that they had spotted a bear on Monday, October 7, so the district sent out a message to parents about the sighting.
