HAWKESBURY | La Caisse populaire de Hawkesbury a remis un don de 10 000$ au Centre culturel Le Chenail et au Club de pétanque de l’Île du Chenail, dans le cadre du projet de forge et de toilettes publiques. «Cet argent vient de notre fonds d’aide au développement du milieu», a indiqué le di- recteur général de la Caisse, Lionel Renaud. Le projet a pour but la construction d’un bâtiment en bois, à l’image de l’ancienne forge de l’île qui était très importante au XIXe siècle, au temps de l’âge d’or des mou- lins. Ce bâtiment de 18 pieds par 16 pieds servira de local au club de pétanque et comprendra aussi des toilettes publiques. Ces toilettes sont attendues depuis long- temps par les plaisanciers et les visiteurs qui sont trop souvent du mauvais côté de l’île lorsque la nature appelle. Le Chenail pourra également utiliser le local pour diverses activités. La construction de bois à planches larges rappellera l’architecture de l’ancienne forge. Selon Paula Assaly, le clocher atypique de la forge du chenail sera recréé pour donner un véritable look d’an- tan. Les travaux de construction devraient débutés cet automne et le tout devrait être complété en 2015. 10 000$ pour la forge du Chenail STÉPHANE LAJOIE stephane.lajoie@eap.on.ca

and the natural eco-system. MNR is allowing farmers and other local lan- downers to kill any wild boars they see near or on their property. Hunters are also allowed to “shoot on sight”any wild boars they encounter as long as they have a small game hunting licence. Theministry’s memo recommends aiming for the shoulders of the boar when shooting. Residents are warned to be careful if they see a wild boar. It can be dangerous if cornered or injured or if it is a sow with young. Anyone who sees or shoots a wild boar is asked to report it to Mary Dillon, MNR management biologist, at the Kemptville office at 613-258- 8267. The breed is known for its ferocity when pro- voked. During medieval and later times in Eu- rope, wild boar hunting was a popular, but dan- gerous, sport for the nobility. Special boar lances and swords were designed that featured flared guards close to point of the lance or sword to pre- vent a wounded boar from pushing its way along the shaft of the lance so it could use its tusks to gore the hunter who had hurt it before it died. Wild boar hunting in season is still popular in some parts of Europe. Experts recommend either a 30.06 or .308 rifle for hunting the animal. The very smallest caliber deemed feasible would be a .243. Anyone in the area whose only firearm is a .22-calibre should not try to shoot a wild boar.
KEMPTVILLE | Wild boars are on the loose in Prescott-Russell and the provincial government wants farmers, hunters and private landowners to help corral and kill them. The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) has issued to landowners in the region warning them about the risk that wild boars pose to the local environment and public safety and asking for as- sistance in dealing with the problem. The United Counties of Prescott-Russell (UCPR) council also received a letter from Joy Sterritt, resources ma- nagement supervisor at MNR’s Kemptville office regarding the problem. “Wild boars have been observed in wooded areas and in adjacent farm fields in the United Counties of Prescott-Russell beginning in late summer of 2013,” stated Sterritt. “This letter is to inform you that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry would like to ensure that these es- caped farm animals are removed from the lands- cape as soon as possible.” Wild boars are not native to North America. They are a European breed of wild pig that has been imported to both Canada and the United States by various private breeding farms for the

exotic meats market or for pri- vate hunting preserves. Over the years there have been various incidents where wild boars have escaped from their pens andmade their way into the surrounding countryside. In 2008 there was a breakout of 16 wild boars from a farm near Embrun, but they were all believed killed either by local predators and hunters or through “roadkill” en- counters with local traffic. A $1000 fine was levied against the farmer who was keeping wild boars on his property for failure to notify local game officials about the escaped animals. The ministry has received no reports of any recent escapes of wild boars from any farms or breeding outfits in the Prescott- Russell region. But it has received reports of sightings of the animal. The concern is that, if left unchec- ked, the wild boars could cause damage to local farm fields, crops,
