MONROE - State police want residents in the Town of Monroe to secure their trash cans, get rid of bird seed, and take other precautions to be sure they're not attracting bears.
Police say they've had to chase bears out of residential neighborhoods across Monroe several times last week. Friday was the latest sighting, close to Round Lake.
The bears have been rummaging through garbage pails, but have not posed a threat to residents, police said.
Environmental experts say you can prevent attracting bears by not leaving garbage outside before collection day, cleaning trash cans regularly with ammonia or Lysol, reminding children not to leave food or food wrappers outside, cleaning your outdoor grills, and by not putting out bird seed.

MONROE - Ace Egg Farms in the Monroe area has donated 15,120 eggs to a number of food banks in the Mid-Hudson in an effort to make Easter a little more egg-citing for families.

Ace Vice President Michael Grindrod said they have donated eggs for years.

This is the first time they have done it to different food pantries. In the last two years, the donated their entire allotment to the Food Bank of Westchester County, but this Easter decided to donate them to the local food pantries as well, "due to the economic times and we want to get more involved with the communities," he said.

This year, Ace Farms donated eggs to the Highland Mills Food Pantry, Montgomery Food Pantry, the Food Bank of Westchester and Monroe Food Pantry.

Grindrod said 15,000 eggs are valued at almost $1,200.
