Officials will discuss how to minimize attracting bears to your property, as well as what to do and not do if you see a bear. The meeting, which is open to the public and does not require registration, will include a question and answer session.

A few bears have been spotted in Princeton and Montgomery in recent weeks.

Black bears tend to be wary of people. If you encounter a black bear in your neighborhood or outdoors while hiking or camping, follow the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife Management offers these tips:

• Never feed or approach a bear

• Remain calm if you encounter a bear.

• Make the bear aware of your presence by speaking in an assertive voice, singing, clapping your hands, or making other noises.

• Make sure the bear has an escape route.

• If a bear enters your home, provide it with an escape route by propping all doors open.

• Avoid direct eye contact and never run from a bear. Instead, slowly back away.

• To scare the bear away, make loud noises by yelling, banging pots and pans or using an air horn. Make yourself look as big as possible by waving your arms. If you are with someone else, stand close together with your arms raised above your head.

• The bear may utter a series of huffs, make popping jaw sounds by snapping its jaws and swat the ground. These are warning signs that you are too close. Slowly back away, avoid direct eye contact and do not run.

• If a bear stands on its hind legs or moves closer, it may be trying to get a better view or detect scents in the air. It is usually not a threatening behavior.

• Black bears will sometimes “bluff charge” when cornered, threatened or attempting to steal food. Stand your ground, avoid direct eye contact, then slowly back away and do not run.

• If the bear does not leave, move to a secure area.

• Report black bear damage or nuisance behavior to the state Department of Environmental Protection’s 24-hour, toll-free hotline at 1-877-WARN DEP (1-877-927-6337).

• Families who live in areas frequented by black bears should have a “Bear Plan” in place for children, with an escape route and planned use of whistles and air horns.

• Black bear attacks are extremely rare. If a black bear does attack, fight back.

A federal law enforcement officer walking near the entrance of the Nassau  Inn noticed an unattended bag near a structural support to the building just before 6 p.m toight.  The officer checked the area for an owner and learned that the luggage piece had been left unattended for more than an hour.  Witnesses had not seen anyone leave the item and an owner could not be located.  Surveillance footage was checked and inconclusive to when the package was left or who left the package.

Upon notification to the Princeton Police, officers continued unsuccessfully to check the area for an owner.  While the investigation continued, the area immediately surrounding the object was restricted.  A canine unit from the New Jersey State Police was requested to assist at the scene.  In consultation with the state police, investigators raised the level of the package from unattended to suspicious given the proximity to the hotel and an eatery near the location and the fact the bag had been unattended for so long.

The state police then requested explosive technicians respond to the scene to examine the package and Palmer Square East was closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic at 6:18 pm. Explosive technicians arrived on scene at approximately 7:02 pm and examined the package from a distance.  They ordered an immediate and full evacuation of all Palmer Square East buildings including restaurants, stores and the Nassau Inn before they would be able to examine the package.

The evacuation was done in conjunction with Palmer Square Management and the management staff of the Nassau Inn.  The evacuation was completed by 7:30pm. By 8:22pm the bag was deemed safe.  The area was immediately reopened to all pedestrian and vehicular traffic as well as occupants of the building. The bag belonged to a customer at the Nassau Inn who has not been located at this time.

The scare marks the third time in less than a week that officials have had to do a search in the Princeton area for potential explosives. Princeton University received a bomb threat, and Montgomery High School also had a bomb scare this week.
