Bear with us on this one. There once were three bears - Papa Bear, Mama Bear and Baby Bear - who were abandoned along Cove Road in South Franklin Township. A noble group of volunteers cleaning up litter along the road, which runs beside the No. 4 Dam reservoir, discovered the large stuffed toys in the woods and stacked them with bags of collected garbage. Sometime during that night, the bears apparently were rescued by a passerby (we'll call her "Goldilocks") who thought them not too big, not too small, but just right. (Photo by Alice Burroughs)
