Almost As Good As New

In this Aug. 4, 2014, file photo, a female bear cub with badly burned paws who had been named Cinder is put into a crate before a flight from East Wenatchee, Wash., to Lake Tahoe, Calif. Now healed after stints at a California wildlife center and the Idaho Black Bear Rehabilitation center near Boise, she weighs about 125 pounds. Washington state Fish and Wildlife officers plan to release Cinder near Wenatchee, Wash., toay. She’ll be released with a buddy, a male cub she befriended in rehab.
