How ‘bout them apricots?

Concerning the picture of the tree on the front page of the Aug. 20 edition: If you had looked closer, you would have seen that it was an apricot tree, not apple. In the 20 plus years that I have lived there, I have noticed that the bears don’t care for apricots, even in the lean years, which this year is certainly not.
