Coyotes in the Neighborhood
- Details
- Created: 30 December 2011
Coyotes, both alone and in pairs, are being seen regularly throughout our subdivision. Their howling is often heard late at night. While it can be a bit unnerving to spot a coyote in your yard or encountering one while out for a run or walking the dog, Dublin officials want to dispel the fear that residents are in danger.
Coyotes rarely attack humans, unless directly provoked or threatened. The animals are curious of people, but they are shy and cautious and generally go out of their way to avoid human contact. Across the US and Canada there are an average of 3 coyote attacks in any given year. Your risk of being attacked by a dog is far greater with hundreds of such attacks occurring in Franklin County annually.
Domestic cats and dogs can be in danger from our coyote residents, however. While coyotes are carnivores, pets are not usually considered a food source for the coyote, but rather a threat to the coyote's territory. Don't leave small pets outside unattended or let them run free, off leash. For added protection, carry pepper spray, vinegar in a spray bottle or carry a walking stick when walking in areas where coyotes have been seen.
If you see a coyote, wait for it to leave first. Never leave before the coyote. Throw rocks or other items in the coyote's direction, spray water from a garden hose, wave your arms, yell and try to look as large as you can. This is a safe way to remind coyotes they should stay away from humans. Never coax the animal closer with food or a soft voice.

Hilliard Schools Calendar Change
- Details
- Created: 14 December 2011
The change was made as a result of feedback the district received from parents concerned that school would resume on the date the federal government and most companies are recognizing as the official New Year's Day holiday, causing students to miss family holiday observances and creating child care issues.
As a result of the change, the school year will be extended one day. School will now end on Monday, June 4, 2012.

Pranksters Post (Un)Deadly Warning...
- Details
- Created: 13 August 2011
Halloween arrived early as some clever pranksters hacked a City of Dublin traffic information sign on Rings Road, changing the message to ZOMBIE OUTBREAK.
The sign just happened to be right next to the Sandy Corners cemetery, which dates from 1845. None of the occupants appear to be missing.
The electronic sign previously warned drivers of a much-less-intriguing repaving project. WCMH-TV 4 featured the sign on their 11 pm Saturday newscast. Click on the image for a larger version.
