New Bear board members

Because of the stringent requirements to get on the Blue Ribbon Bear Board, only a limited number have made the cut thus far. It is our intention to keep the BRBB a "Lean, Mean, Sighting Machine." New members include:

Paul Turner, let on to the Bear Board because, he said, "I've always wanted to have a little authority."

Shorty Hamilton, friend of Gary Coomer's friend Mike Newton. Campbellsville and therefore eligible.

Mike Newton. Foreign agent, Campbellsville. Soccer arena site, LWC campus.

Sean Milligan: Has actually seen a bear in Adair County.

Linda Affolter, co-owner of Breeding Mall and preservationist.

Jeff Costello, who has seen a red fox in Dr. Webb's Russell Creek bottom.

Russell Hughes. In charge of the Hughes' House to Sulphur Well sector.

Blacky Lynn Nixon (foreign agent)-the identical twin brother of Red Glynn Nixon. At Adair County High School, we could tell them apart when they played basketball for John Burr. Red liked to shoot from 45 feet, whereas Blacky favored lay-ups. Blacky will cover Hillsboro, Indiana; Saw Mill Road, where he has land; the Wabash River Valley sector as well as Rocky Hill Schoolhouse zone. A committee is at working to recruit Mr. Nixon back to his ancestral homeland.

Dr. George Webb. Has Rowetown & Rupp Arena sectors.

Yellowhammer. (Code name for Jimmy Dale Bledsoe). Glens Fork Creek sector. No black bear will give Yellowhammer, Steve York, or Raymond Grant any sass.

Buck Campbell. Will patrol the Hooterville, Resurrection City, and Chestnut Corner sector, armed only with a bear knife.
