Beware of the black bear

Township. An earlier sighting that day had himaround the County Road 19 area, known to locals as Nine Mile Road, between the villages of Wendover and Curran. The OPP is keeping track of sightings. The latest information they have is that the bear seems to be missing a leg and so, its progress eastward through the area is slow. It also seems to be trying to avoid encounters with humans. Residents in the rural areas along the bear’s likely route are advised to make sure nothing is left out in their yards, which could prove attractive to the animal.That includes not leaving pet food outside or any kind of

household garbage that includes leftover food, which the bear might scavenge. Keep pets indoors also. Report any bear sightings to police and stay indoors. If left alone, the bear will move on to wherever its destination is. Police are not equipped with bear-con- tainment traps or tranquilizer guns. If they are forced to deal with the bear to protect human lives, they will shoot to kill.

A black bear is making a slow journey through the fields andwoods and along the back roads of Prescott and Russell counties. The bear was first reported seen in the vi- cinity of the village of Bourget, within the City of Clarence-Rockland’s municipal bounds. As of last Friday afternoon, before the May long weekend, the most recent report is a sighting of him seated beneath a tree in the woodlands around the Concession 2 road neighbourhood, in Alfred-Plantagenet
