KENDALL – Ron Lasal had his driveway sealed yesterday on Kendall Road. This morning he went out to remove the barriers so his wife could head out on an errand.

Lasal was surprised to see muddy bear tracks on the driveway. A friend told him she saw a bear on Route 18. Lasal suspects the same bear wandered across his property last night.

He has never seen a bear before in Kendall, but saw them years ago in the Southern Tier.

“It’s in the area,” he said. “It doesn’t bother me any. I hunted in Southern Tier for 15 years.”
