Black bear spotted in Greenville. 450 sighted in Upstate in 2024, how to report a sighting
A black bear was twice spotted near downtown Greenville, according to several social media reports on June 19 and June 20. Rep. Chandra Dillard posted about the sighting on social media. "Everyone loves Greenville; even the bears," she wrote in her post. The bear was spotted in the Poe Mill, James St., Southern Side neighborhoods, according to her post. "Don't engage. Call SC DNR 1-800-922-5431," she advised. WYFF 4 reported that "a black bear was spotted twice in 24 hours near downtown Greenville." The first sighting occurred on the night of June 19 on 6th Avenue near the Poe Mill area, and the bear was spotted again on June 20 on James Street, according to WYFF. Black bears are roaming in the Upstate, and they're on the prowl for food. Last year, there were 450 black bear sightings in the region, according to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources. Sightings are on the rise due to increased human activity and development in bear habitat and the use of technology like doorbell cameras, which allow for more sightings to be captured. But is this reason to be worried about black bears? Not exactly. "Black bears are so timid today partly because they evolved alongside such powerful predators as saber-toothed cats, American lions, dire wolves and short-faced bears, all of which became extinct only about 12,000 years ago," said the North American Bear Center. "Black bears were the only one of these that could climb trees, so black bears survived by staying near trees and developing the attitude: run first and ask questions later. The timid ones passed on their genes to create the black bear of today." Here's what to know about black bears in the state. Black bears are omnivores that eat both plants and animals. Their diet generally consists of berries, nuts, insects, fish, and meat. Because black bears are opportunistic, they will devour anything that is readily available, including human food and garbage. The black bear diet is also highly dependent on season and location. Offensive black bear attacks are rare and usually occur in remote areas where bears come in contact with humans the least, per the North American Bear Center. "The 750,000 black bears of North America kill less than one person per year on average, while men 18-24 are 167 times more likely to kill someone than a black bear," the center said. When a human is attacked by a black bear, it is typically a defensive reaction to the person being too close ― a situation that is easily avoidable. Injuries that occur are usually minor. Since most black bears in the wild today are timid, they are more likely to run away to a tree when frightened. "By contrast, startled grizzlies may charge and occasionally attack, making grizzlies over 20 times more dangerous than black bears," per the center. According to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources, there has never been a fatality or even an attack attributed to a black bear in S.C. In the eastern U.S., only two human fatalities attributed to bears have occurred over the last 100 years. Current sustaining black bear populations exist in the mountains/upper Piedmont and northern coastal counties. Never feed or approach bears. Intentionally feeding bears or allowing them to find anything that smells or tastes like food teaches bears to approach homes and people looking for more. Secure food, garbage and recycling. Food and food odors attract bears, so do not reward them with easily available food, liquids or garbage. Remove bird feeders when bears are active. Birdseed and grains have lots of calories, so they are attractive to bears. Removing feeders is the best way to avoid creating conflicts with bears. Never leave pet food outdoors. Feed pets indoors when possible. If you must feed pets outside, feed in single portions and remove bowls afterwards. Store pet food where bears cannot see or smell it. Clean and store grills, smokers. Clean grills after each use and make sure that all grease, fat and food particles are removed. Store clean grills and smokers in a secure area that keeps bears out. Alert neighbors to bear activity. See bears in the area or evidence of bear activity? Tell your neighbors and share info on how to avoid bear conflicts. You can report a black bear sighting to the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources by visiting this link, For black bear emergencies, call 911 or 1-800-922-5431.

‘We have a lot to be thankful for': Ruidoso rebuilds after fire and flood devastation
Life is beginning to return to the scorched hills, dotted with charred tree trunks, in the charming mountain village of Ruidoso. Colorful butterflies lilt among snapdragons, heavy machinery clears the foundations of torched homes and carves out larger banks along Rio Ruidoso, and a hum of energy resonates from the community's main drag. A year after twin fires and repeated floods ravaged the historic village, Ruidoso has made significant strides toward rebuilding what was lost and repairing what survived. It's a journey that will continue for some time to come. "Even though to the locals here it seems like it's been very slow, a lot of progress maybe hasn't been made in their area … when you look back at the total body of work, it's been remarkable," Ruidoso Mayor Lynn Crawford said. "A year later, we've made a lot of progress, but still have a long way to go." That community spirit was on display as locals gathered at Wingfield Park to recognize first responders and celebrate their community's resilience on Tuesday, June 17. Crawford recalled the day flames began stretching into Ruidoso: it was a Monday, June 17, and it started like any other day. The South Fork and Salt fires, which began on the nearby Mescalero Apache reservation, torched roughly 25,000 acres and destroyed around 1,300 structures, leaving behind a bald landscape that made the water from the torrential downpours that followed rush into the city without impediment. The blazes also caused two deaths — 60-year-old Patrick Pearson was found dead near the Swiss Chalet Hotel and a second unidentified victim was found in a burned car on Ranier Road. And though the fires were eventually extinguished, the land they ravaged only sets the stage for more flooding as the Southwest prepares for monsoon season, another issue Crawford and village leaders must contend with, along with rebuilding their town. But none of that appears to overwhelm Crawford or, by all accounts, the roughly 7,600 people he represents. "A lot of it is rebuilding and maintaining," he said. "That's one thing about Ruidoso … we're very optimistic people. We always have a good plan, and they say that plan works until you get hit, but we got knocked down and through the subsequent nine floods, we got up every time." "When we have so much support from the surrounding communities, the people that support our (tourism) industry, it really helps us get out of bed in the morning and make sure we're ready to go to work for the people that come to see us." Ruidoso Fire Chief Cade Hall was just a firefighter when the blazes broke out around Ruidoso last year. The Ruidoso Fire Department includes about 27 firefighters, with only seven or eight on duty each day. On June 16, 2024, Hall was off when he got a call from the Smokey Bear Hot Shot crew saying, "We lost it." Hall did not even know there was a fire in the area, but he immediately looked outside and could see the dark plume of smoke rising over the horizon. The whole fire department was then called into action. "I hit all-call and brought in every firefighter in Ruidoso to try to help mitigate the problem," he recalled. "We were fighting fire, fighting fire — there was 100-foot, 150-foot flame lengths, we had a house torch here and then you turn around and it's wrapping around you — and the next thing you know, the rain came and we went from fighting fire to having people floating down the creeks, houses and all that stuff." Ruidoso's firefighters immediately pivoted to rescue efforts as state and federal agencies continued fighting the fires, getting swift water crews into action. Ruidoso native Leland DeFord was there when the fires and flooding began, opting not to evacuate from his home. A former El Paso firefighter and forensic photographer, DeFord began documenting the destruction but changed course after only a few days. "It just got so depressing, the damage," he remembered, "so then I started photographing the relief effort." Immediately after the fire and flooding ended much of the work for Hall and the rest of the village has been on make sure the kind of devastation seen last year is never seen again. Flood mitigation efforts such as expanding culverts, installing barriers around riverbanks and thinning areas to create defensible space around homes and other structures continue to be a large part of the recovery effort. Despite mudslides still being a concern for Hall, he applauded the resilience of the people in Ruidoso, who, he said, were anxious to reclaim their hometown. "This place is second to none," he said. "They came back with a vengeance. They wanted their place to be back." "Minus some trees, and some houses in areas that we can't build back due to flooding, it's just resiliency," Hall added. "These guys are resilient." For Heather Kinney, who is opening her shop, Feather and Stone Emporium, on Sudderth Drive in Ruidoso next year, evidence of the village's slow but steady recovery is everywhere — from the constant hum of traffic to, most notably, the local farmers' market. "We had more people attend the farmer's market, as vendors and patrons, than we ever did before," she said as she moved along the stones and jewelry at her shop. "So, people are ready to get back to normal for sure." While a new normal might be in the offing for the people of Ruidoso, as Crawford noted, the expansive rebuild in the village leaves room for a new vision to take root. Something he's calling "Ruidoso 2.0." "We have plans and we're working with access to the community to let them know that they can have their input," Crawford said. "But the village, we're a bunch of planners here, so we have a very robust comprehensive plan, a master plan, strategic plans and then, indeed, tactical plans for every aspect of the community, so we have buy-in from all parts of the community." The first step to reimagining Ruidoso is housing. Crawford said "well over" 100 families are still not in their permanent homes, taking up residence in nearby towns like Capitan or Tularosa, and many will never be able to return or rebuild as their former properties are now in extended flood zones. "We need to continue to invest in affordable and, primarily, workforce housing," Crawford said. "People that are working, they need nice, safe, secure homes that are hardened, and by that I mean that we make sure the lots are thinned, that maybe the roofs are made out of metal or some other material that has a lot of fire resistance, making sure that we have different aspects that have been pointed out during our thinning process by the local forestry (department)." By the end of the month, the village will finish construction on a housing development that will include 10 modular homes and village leaders recently broke ground on a 72-unit apartment complex. Additionally, Crawford said he is working with federal agencies on a buy-back program for residents who cannot rebuild as a way to avoid piling financial devastation on top of already-traumatized residents. The site of the iconic Swiss Chalet Motel, which was destroyed, may also be a future site for new housing in the village, Crawford said. While housing remains at the top of the community's list, Crawford also has an eye toward securing the village's economic future by protecting water resources and bringing businesses back to town. The fires caused half a billion dollars in damage. "Our water resources and assets are in full tact, we check those constantly, but it's rebuilding our economy, it's doing the rebuilding of homes, structures in the community where most the people who work in our shops live, that the majority of the homes that we lost," he said. The people of Ruidoso appear committed to bringing their village back to its former glory. "A year later," Crawford mused, "we have a lot to be thankful for."

Now I Have to Plan My Kid's Perfect Unplanned Summer?
Sign up for the Slatest to get the most insightful analysis, criticism, and advice out there, delivered to your inbox daily. All through elementary school, I attended not a single summer day camp. To use today's parlance, we spent our summers 'rotting.' We rambled around our little town to find friends who were free to hang out, visited the corner store to buy ice cream sandwiches, played board games if it was raining. But mostly, on fair days, we set up camp at the small beach club on the little lake 2 miles from our house, read books, played for hours in the water, got someone else's mom to drive us home so we could stay a little bit later. My sister and I used to compare 'summer legs,' covered with bug bites, scrapes, and the permanent dirt that combined with our tans to leave ghostly impressions of our Teva straps on the tops of our feet. Am I nostalgic? I am. Even at the time, I was nostalgic. I saw myself experience these summers as if looking in from the outside; during long New Hampshire winters I pined so much for the last day of school that it sometimes made me a little bit sick. I favored chapter books published before I was born, depicting the childhoods of the turn of the 20th century, and so viewed my own experiences through that gauzy lens. Winter was for flute practice, overheated classrooms, the less friendly groups of kids that school forced me to be around. Summer was when I could have the rambling adventures children my age were supposed to have, with my actual kindred spirits. We packed picnics, like Betsy, Tacy, and Tib. Canoeing across the lake, clambering on rocks by the shoreline? Some real Swallows and Amazons behavior. This year, my feral old-school childhood summers became a debate, a fad, a little bit of a status symbol. 'Why not let your kids have a 'wild' summer?' asked the Cut in late May. 'Is it OK for your kids to 'rot' all summer?' queried the New York Times earlier this month. These articles feel fairly useless, or even frustrating, to any family without a nonworking summer parent, or to any parent whose child would seize on a planless summer as an excuse to stare at her phone for 14 hours a day. They seem downright bizarre to people who live outside the blue-state, coastal places where one kid's summer of camps—aimed at enhancing and enriching a developing mind—requires an elaborate sign-up strategy and $14,000 in fees. (Where I live, in Ohio, the most expensive camp in town sets you back $250 a week, and I've never had trouble getting my daughter a spot somewhere good enough.) But there's something fascinating about this newfound devotion to summer de-escalation, in search of a connection to a bucolic past. Sociologist Annette Lareau famously called the dominant ethos of upper-middle-class parenting 'concerted cultivation.' 'Summer kid rot' shows how part of cultivation is now, also, de-cultivation. We readers of many legacy-media parenting articles may not be MAHA, but we're certainly quite carefully antimodern. 'Giving your kids everything' has become 'Taking some things away'—day camp, structure, screens, your own overbearing cruise-director presence—in a carefully calibrated recipe meant to produce the very feelings I get when I remember running across the lawn at the tail end of a family friend's barbecue, at twilight on the Fourth of July. Yes, I know this makes it sound as if I grew up in a magic-light ad for a Republican gubernatorial candidate; in some ways, I kind of did. Surely some of my classmates were 'rotting' in the TV way, not the fireflies way. But it's too late: This is what a perfect childhood summer feels like to me. Edan Lepucki, a novelist and Substack writer, wrote a newsletter entry last year about her own plan to skip camp for her kids, making her an early adopter in the summer-rot space. Lepucki is a college lecturer who doesn't have to teach in summer, with a full-time remote-working husband, three kids (5, 9, and nearly 14), and relatives nearby for occasional child care swapping, located in a high-cost-of-living area. For her, the price of camp would have been exorbitant, so she saw the choice to skip it in 2024 as a pragmatic one. She's doing it again this year, with the exception of one week of camp and some family travel. How's it going? 'They're watching TV, reading, drawing, playing Barbies/figures, playing 'baseball' in the yard with a tennis ball and a wiffle ball bat,' she wrote in an email. She doesn't think of this as being the same as 'rotting,' and said she would not let her teenager sleep in super late every day or have the kids 'die on screens for hours.' (These particular kids don't have access to iPads or phones.) It was the way Lepucki talked about a no-camp summer in her Substack last year—'What is childhood if not long afternoons of sunshine and fun, your backpack cobwebbing at the back of the closet, homework a far off concept as you burnish an image of your brand new, back-to-school self? What paradise!'—that first made me wonder if I was doing enough to make my own kid's summers feel properly endless. This is the third year since my own child grew out of having preschool coverage for the summer months—the third year of her day-camp era. There are a few things that have made her summers very different from mine: She's an only child, like an increasing number of American kids. Neither parent is a teacher, like my dad was, with the summer off to drive kids around; our neighborhood is walkable, but until this year, she hasn't quite been old enough, by today's standards, to ramble around and look for kids to hang out with. Besides, most of the other kids we know are … well … at $250-a-week day camp. Despite all this, three weeks into summer, she's acquiring that spaced-out, blissful look; she's deep into piles of middle-grade graphic novels, discovering an affection for Nerds Ropes; she's running into friends at the pool when we go together on the weekends. I know, this is her life, and it's 2025, not 1900 or even 1983. I know it's ridiculous to put on a little Truman Show for her, to strip away just the right parts of modern life so she gets those good feelings I still return to at moments of unmoored anxiety. But even so, next year, friends and I are planning a 'rot camp.' We'll find a good week to leave our calendars mutually blank. One or two of us who work from home in a walkable neighborhood will serve as base. We'll text people we know, figure out what other kids are home; we'll give them some spending money so they can feel what it's like to choose what to do. Yes, we're trying to subtly plan out serendipity, a year in advance. Yes, we're concertedly cultivating. No, my parents didn't think nearly so hard about providing me with my own Happy Hollister days. So I promise that if the kids end up watching a little TV, I'll try to relax.
