Spokeswoman for ODNR says bear would likely head through Loveland, according to Dayton Daily News

“Most likely, he has gotten in the river corridor and is following it back south,” Garza-Behr said. Read on...
Both Channel 5 TV and Channel 12 TV are reporting that the bear was spotted at Camp Butterworth at 8551 Butterworth Road, just north of Loveland along the Little Miami River. (Map)
The Girl Scout's sent a memo to parents of girls attending the camp that read in part:
As a precaution, last night all staff and girls at camp were moved to secure lodges to sleep. In addition, during camp activities, the girls were kept together in large groups, were encouraged to sing when walking from one unit to another, and food and garbage guidelines were followed. The bear was seen again this morning at camp and the police and ODNR have agreed to continue to monitor camp. We will continue to assess the situation with the assistance of the Hamilton Township Police and ODNR.
