This story stirred up some bad memories for a woman in Beausejour I think ... brought back memories of having been severely mauled ... she'd commented about it being an awful way to go as well. She was pretty damaged physically and psychologocally and hasn't worked since ... but had been working in Corrections.

We did a sidebar story yesterday on the Beausejour attack, with quotes from Diane James: http://www.winnipegsun.com/News/Mani...90098-sun.html

Also today, a woman was mauled by grizzly in Alberta, but survived - she's on the Sunday front page.

My girlfriend is certain she scared off a black bear by barking at it when we were once canoeing in the Whiteshell, in the wilderness zone - all I heard was a bunch of heavy rustling in the bush near our tent. Never saw it, but I had the big spray can of Bear Guard ready. Last time we were out in the Whiteshell, we saw no bears around the remote cabin we were at, despite warnings from the camp operator, but we did see two of them along Hwy 44 (Beasejour area) when we were driving home.
