Recent wolf attacks raise concerns in Ely area Posted
Keith Vandervort
ELY - A dog out for a run with its owner near Burntside Lake last Thursday had an encounter with a wolf after the dog ran into the woods. The dog sustained injuries that required surgery.
The dog’s owner reported the incident to the Department of Natural Resources according to Chad Richardson, communications director for the International Wolf Center.
A second encounter occurred last Friday around noon on Little Long Lake with what was believed to be the same pack of wolves, Richardson said. Local residents Russ and Cathy Vanderboom reported their dog was involved in the second encounter.

When the coronavirus hit the U.S., hospitals issued strict limitations on visitors. Nurses and doctors started acting as liaisons to the sick and dying for family members not allowed at bedsides. As deaths reach new daily highs, that work is not getting any easier. The emotional toil of adapting to new dynamics with patients and families at one rural hospital in Livingston, Mont., is a case study of what health care workers are grappling with all over the country.
Framed by the rugged Absaroka Mountains in south-central Montana, Livingston HealthCare looks more like an upscale ski chalet than a medical facility. It s one of more than 1,300 critical access hospitals in the U.S., which are federally designated to increase health care access in rural areas. Here, the hospital has 25 beds and serves a huge region about twice the size of Rhode Island but with a population just shy of 17,000.
