Haverstraw police are warning residents in the Garnerville area to keep a
close eye on their children and small pets. There have been a number of
coyote sightings in the area of Kinsman Lane. The folks at
CoyoteSmarts.org say coyotes are naturally timid animals and will usually
flee when they see people. They say not to turn your back and run away,
but make noise by banging pots and pans or use an air horn to scare them.
