Removing Kermodes from |

-My informants tell: me
of four white bears in and
around Terrace this month.
[.am‘not a liberty to say

where, except for one ~ the ,
Dumpster Bear. The bear .

was causing a stir in the east
end of town.

And what was the reac-
tion of the ordinance peo-

ple? Catch him quick. Get.

him out of town. Hurry.
Move him up north where
he can’t cause any. harm.
So that happens.
Today a ‘tourist from

~ Tennessee comes to the info

center, and the dialo Bue goes.

‘like this.

“Hi. I’m from Tennessee,
come to see your white bear. .
Where i is he?”

Staff: “Weil there was

_ one here last week, but he’ S-

gone now.”

Tourist:

go?” .
Staff: “Well, he really

“Where ‘did he

didn’t go: We caught him in

a dumpster and moved him
from town.” ’
Tourist: “You moved
him. I come 4,000 miles; my
rig gets four miles.to the gal-

_lon,.and gas here is five dol-.

lars a gallon, and I want to
see a white bear.”
Staff: “Well you might

see him. We moved him up
north, to the Cranberry, 120 .
miles up #37. You might see

-him there. There are ‘only
400,000 square miles to look

in.
Tourist: “Well, I suppose

could try. He likes dump-
sters. Maybe | could use one

of them for bait.”

Staff: “Oh, no sir. I’ snot
legal to set bait for a bear.
You can’t even leave lunch
outside the: door. That's ‘a
bear attractant, same as ap-
ples under a tree. That's not
legal.”

Tourist: “So, how do I get
to see a white bear?”

Staff: “You might want to

see the Mayor, or the cham-
ber. They are the ones that -

did the advertising. Or you
can go to the Cranberry and.
whistle. He might come:”

’ Tourist: “You know, I
don’t think you even have a
white bear. This is like our
side hill gouger. We've got
a side hill and we gouge the
tourists.”

Staff: “Oh, no sir, we re-
ally have them.. Only they
are not allowed in town.
Black ones are, but not the
white ones.

- Tourist: “Yeah, sure.”

Yvonne has been a tire-

So what did Roger do for
the cause? I suspect noth-

I’m _ssure Mr. Austin

that stretch the.truth and are. ,

“opportunistic”.
