Keep coyotes at a distance this winter gŏđŏ
editionap.ca
So far the incident appears to be an iso- lated case. There were reports in the Ca- naan Road/Joanisse Road areas of a coyote, described as “mangy and sick-looking” seen wandering through the area. Soon after the Vision posted a warning on its website a reader reported on the news- paper’s Facebook page seeing the carcass of a dead coyote alongside Canaan Road. Whether this is the same coyote responsi- ble for attacking and killing the dog is not known. Coyotes are native to the Prescott-Russell area and there are sightings in other mu- nicipalities but no calls or complaints of at- tacks involving either humans or pets have come in. In both The Nation Municipality and Al- fred-Plantagenet Township there are hunt- ers who are licensed to trap or track down and shoot coyotes during the designated provincial hunting season and subject to Ontario hunting regulations. Coyotes, like ravens and crows, are one of the species of animals that has adapted well to living close to human settlements. While the coyote is a predator and packs are ca- pable to taking down animals as large as a deer, themain source of food for coyotes are small animals like rabbits, mice, and voles. Coyotes are also willing to scavenge road- kills or any scraps they can find in house- hold garbage left out overnight. Homeown- ers in rural areas should make sure to wait until the morning of garbage collection day to put their bins and bags out for pick- up. They should also avoid leaving any pet food outside during the night as that might tempt coyotes to linger near a residence. The warm January temperatures may be making some winter sports a little bit more risky. The OPP and the Ontario Federation of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC) issued a joint advisory about ice conditions on lakes and streams in the province at the beginning of the year. The extreme cold of early January has giv- en way to a thaw situation that may be cre- ating some rotten ice conditions on lakes and streams. The weakened ice may not be strong enough to support the weight of ei- ther a snowmobile or even a person stand- ing on the ice. Snowmobilers and ATV users with tires suitable for winter travel are urged to stick to the land-based OFSC-prescribed trails for their activities. Anyone who does go out on either a frozen lake or stream for either snowmobiling or ice fishing should wear a floatation suit or a buoyant snowmobile suit and carry a pair of ice picks with them. Stick with marked stake line trails on riv- ers and lakes rather than going “off trail” into areas where the ice thickness is un- known. Always check ice conditions when and do not travel alone or at night. Avoid slushy ice or ice near moving or open water or dock bubblers. The South Nation Conservation Authority (SNC) is also monitoring ice conditions in the South Nation River as part of its flood control warning program. 0 5ŏ 3 5ŏ from ice

ROCKLAND | One Rockland family is mourning the loss of a beloved family pet after a fatal encounter with a coyote. Homeowners in the rural parts of Clar- ence-Rockland are urged to make sure their pets are kept safe inside for the winter. A family on the east side of town lost their dog after it was attacked by a coyote while outside on the front porch. The dog did not survive the encounter.
