Newport, Vermont - April 13, 2009
A warning for parents and children in Newport: Police say black bears have been spotted on the East side of the city again.
At this time last year, several bears were spotted around Newport Elementary and East Main Street. They lingered for months looking for food.
Police are asking residents to bring in all bird feeders, cover garbage cans and they're urging folks not to leave garbage outside for extended periods of time.
