Another woman out walking her dog attacked by bobcat in Parkland
A Calgary woman was sent to hospital after being attacked by a bobcat on the morning of June 23 in Parkland. A second bobcat attack has occurred in the southeast Calgary community of Parkland. Fish and Wildlife said it's possible it was the same animal responsible for the first attack. This latest incident happened at roughly 4:40 p.m. on June 29. 'An individual reported that they were walking their dog off-leash when they first noticed a bobcat kitten,' Fish and Wildlife said in a statement. 'As they began to leash their pet and move out of the area, an altercation with an adult bobcat occurred, which resulted in some superficial scratches to the victim.' Fish and Wildlife noted the area where this occurred was not an off-leash area. The authority said it has been unable to find the bobcat and that it won't be easy to do so. 'Locating and trapping a free-roaming wild cat with kittens and access to an abundant food source can be extremely challenging,' the authority said. Fish and Wildlife said it will 'continue to monitor the situation in this area and remains ready to respond to any further incidents as they are reported.' Calgary police confirmed it also received word of the latest incident. Police said the woman's injuries 'were not life-threatening' and that 'she was treated at hospital.' This incident is similar to another that occurred in the neighbourhood of Parkland around 10 a.m. on June 23. On that day, a woman was attacked by a bobcat while she was walking her dog in front of her home. The woman was taken to hospital for minor cuts and scratches. Fish and Wildlife spent hours setting up traps but were unable to capture any bobcats—big or small. Area residents said the adult bobcat has been in the area for months and had a litter of four kittens living under a deck for the past five weeks. The two attacks occurred about two kilometres from each other. 'While officers are unable to confirm the same bobcat was involved in both incidents, the proximity suggests it is possible,' Fish and Wildlife said. With files by Jordan Kanygin

Driver charged with impaired driving in Fort McMurray hit-and-run
A Fort McMurray man has been charged with drunk driving and for not staying at the scene of a collision in a Saturday hit-and-run in the northern Alberta city. Wood Buffalo RCMP said in a Monday media release that a 60-year-old man faces charges including failure to stop after an accident and driving a vehicle while impaired. The charges come after police answered a 9-1-1- call of a collision between a white Pontiac Grand Prix and a Toyota Sienna on Saturday morning at 10:30 a.m. at a four-way stop in a downtown intersection at Manning Avenue and Centennial Drive. Police say witnesses to the collision said the driver of the Pontiac looked to be impaired, and gave officers a description of the driver and the car. Police found the man at his home shortly after and arrested him without incident, they said. The man provided breath samples that exceeded the legal blood-alcohol concentration limit of 80 mg three times, police said.

‘I lost everything': Pointe-Calumet man reeling after tree-cutting mishap destroys his home
A 65-year-old Pointe-Calumet man is devastated after a tree-cutting operation went wrong and destroyed the home he had rented for years. A 65-year-old man in Pointe-Calumet, about 45 kilometres northwest of Montreal, is devastated after a tree fell on his home during a pruning operation that went wrong. 'When I got home the tree was on top of the house. It was utterly shocking to see. I have cried so much since then, and I am still crying about it,' Daniel Delisle recounted during a recent interview. Delisle, who had been renting the $950-a-month house for many years, was not home during the June 23 incident. He found out after his son called to deliver the upsetting news. 'I told him to stop messing with me because he is a jokester. And then he said 'No dad. The tree actually fell on the house.'' 'It's a total loss. I lost everything. Everything. The second floor collapsed onto the first,' said Delisle choking up. He has since rented a small trailer near his former home for $300 a month. Delisle's neighbour, Steven Henry caught the entire incident on camera. In a recent interview, he said he watched as workers cut down the tree from the base of its trunk. 'It was supposed to be a single operation to take down the tree outside of the house, with a loader pulling up a cable so the tree could go on the other side. But I think there was a miscommunication or something, and the tree went on the wrong side,' Henry explained. Henry said the blame is now being passed from the tree removal workers to the landlord, and then to the insurance company. 'I have known Daniel for many years and he's a really nice guy. He worked so hard to renovate that house,' he added. 'We have had many floods since 2017. So, I jacked up my house. And they were willing to do it that [for Daniel]. That's why they were going to cut off the tree because it was in the way. They wanted to lift the house at least five feet.' To make matters worse, Delisle has not been able to retrieve any of his belongings from the home because the tree remains on the house and the property has been fenced off for safety. Friends and family have started a GoFundMe to help Delisle, who has been disabled since he was 18 and lives on a monthly pension with no savings. 'I really need help. This trailer is so small. I have a small fridge, and a small gas stove. Food is also so expensive. I'm still on edge and crying all the time. I really hope they rebuild the home because I was good there,' Delisle said. Henry said a demolition crew is expected to arrive in the coming days to begin the cleanup process. With files from Daniel J. Rowe
