With the sun at his back, Las Vegan Paul Harris hunkered down and began his final stalk on the large Alaskan black bear that stood feeding in one of “Bear Valley’s” open meadows.

The clock ticked quietly before. Now you can hear it from Summerlin to Henderson and beyond. Don Logan officially welcomed the Toronto Blue Jays to town Monday, but far more important than any two-year Triple-A affiliation agreement is the next three to six months.
