Within hours of the sighting on Wednesday, Frank van Manen caught word that there was a grizzly sow with five cubs in tow spotted in Yellowstone National Park. Five cubs following mom is so unlikely that van Manen, who leads the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team, pondered an explanation.

Virginia fans of The Young and the Restless have asked where Elena Dawson (Brytni Sarpy) has been. She has not been seen or mentioned in Genoa City for quite a while. There is nothing online about Sarpy's status, and Y&R spoilers for next week do not mention the character, so fans wonder if she has been let go.

Oak Grove, KY

Oak Grove, KY — Country Squire (Keystone Velocity) took top honors in the United States Harness Driving Club (USHDC) event on Monday (July 1) at Oak Grove Racing and Gaming. Superbly handled by Shae Vandervort for owner-trainer-breeder Roni Vandervort, the 4-year-old gelding overcame the second tier 10 post and closed fastest of all to splice through the wire in 1:53.3, a lifetime best. Shes A Fireball, driven by Cassidy Whitton, cut all the hot fractions (:27.1, :55.3 and 1:24.3) but had to settle for second, less than a length away, while Rockin Ella Mae, with Zyler Maxwell handling the lines, was next.

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.

WyoFile has acquired a photograph of a lynx in Wyoming, a landmark observation of a species currently considered absent from the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Star Valley resident Jason Reinhardt, an avid houndsman , came across the animal while mountain lion hunting the southern Gros Ventre Range in February 2022. There was no doubt in his mind what it was: a tom lynx, judging by its blocky head.
