Aug 22, Pennywise – Castlegar, Slocan Valley

John Norman Mackle 

June 7, 1954 - July 31, 2022 

It is with the greatest of sadness we announce the 

sudden passing of our brother, father, grandfather 

and friend John Mackle. 

John was a very kind and giving person. 

He was born in Red Lake, Ontario. He often 

spoke of summers in “Lake of the Woods” and 

Kenora area, and his grandfather’s beautiful 

Chris-Craft boat. 

John lived in Kitsilano and East Vancouver, he 

was the middle brother of three - younger brother 

Geoff and older brother Pat. They all moved to 

Kaslo in 1977. 

The Mackles were quickly liked in Kaslo. John 

worked as a mill worker, rock quarrier, miner, 

driller and blaster. In 1998 he started a drywall 

and stucco apprenticeship and for many years 

worked in the commercial drywall industry in 

BC and Alberta. As well as many residential drywall 

and stucco projects in The Kootenays until 

his semi-retirement in 2013. He worked casually 

after that on local projects. 

John loved to laugh and joke, read a good book, 

helping others and old cars from the tires to the dash. 

John wasn’t the kind of person you liked... he was the 

kind of person you loved because of who he was. 

He is predeceased by his parents Joe and Joyce, 

younger brother Geoff and partner Janice Heis. 

Survived by his brother Pat, daughters Malaika 

(Richard) and Emma (Steven) and granddaughters 

Mailey and Sophie, and many friends. 

Thanks for everything John! And thanks for 

being you! 

Register for Fall Art Courses 

Oxygen Art Centre (OAC) expands its educational offerings this 

Fall offering seventeen courses in a myriad of disciplines including 

writing, film, photography, singing, acting, and digital and visual arts. 

The semester is longer than in previous years running from September 

to December allowing for a variety of different course formats 

from one-day intensives to 8-week courses with outdoor, online, and 

in-person options. 

“Oxygen is excited to be expanding the educational opportunities 

available at the Centre” says Education Coordinator Natasha Smith 

“after spending the summer with our families and in our gardens, the 

Fall is the perfect time to nurture creativity” says Smith. Practice the 

art of drawing en plein air, learn the fundamentals of drawing with 

ink, build your painting skills, try out lino printing, bind some books, 

record your life story, photograph your artwork, get creative on your 

iPad, learn 16mm low-tech film processing, add your voice, be an 

actor, be a clown, and write it all down! There’s no doubt there’s an 

OAC class for you! What’s your creative calling? 

For more information on courses, Oxygen Gift Certificates and to 

register: www.oxygenartcentre.org, education@oxygenartcentre.org. 

It is with profound sadness that the family of 

Gary Conrad Clausen announce, after a courageous 

battle against cancer, with his loving wife by his side, 

he passed away at home on August 6, 2022. 

Gary was born on December 2, 1946 in Vancouver, BC. 

At an early age he moved to Dryden, Ontario where he 

met the love of his life 

Patricia “Pat” Moody. 

Gary and Pat married 

on July 19, 1967 and 

then started building 

their life in Fruitvale, 

BC. Together they had 

three children, Cathy 

(Blair), Dary, Kerry 

(Tom). 

Gary started his career 

in BC at Cominco 

and then retired after 

30+ years. During the 

summers Gary and Pat 

made many trips to 

Ontario and Vancouver 

Island to visit family. One of his biggest hobbies was 

creating and building beautiful woodworking projects. 

Countless of his creations were for his family, but many 

went to others in the community. He took great pride 

in taking care of his chickens and kept them on a tight 

schedule. Some of his grandchildren’s fondest memories 

are the many camping trips they did, especially to Garland 

Bay and Lost Ledge. The family will be forever grateful 

for all the quality time Gary and Pat spent with the greatgrandchilden 

in the most recent years. 

He will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 55 years, 

son and daughter, 7 grandchildren, 6 great-grandchildren, 

and many nieces and nephews. Sadly 20 short days prior 

to his passing he was predeceased by his daughter, Cathy. 

A small private family service will be held at a later date. 

As an expression of sympathy please make a donation to 

the Trail Oncology department.

Native Plant Gardens 

You may have seen the photos of goats and sheep 

munching on vetch earlier this summer on the 

grounds of the Kootenay Gallery. The goats will be 

discussed, along with other interesting details in a 

public talk on August 27 at 2:00 pm. 

This talk will highlight the progress on the development 

of native plant gardens. The gardens are 

designed to attract and support native pollinators 

at the Kootenay Gallery. The space, located behind 

the gallery, is being transformed into a suite of 

garden spaces showcasing different approaches to 

native plant gardening, often called rewilding, and 

include a butterfly garden, pollinator meadow, and 

flowering shrub hedgerow. 

More garden space is being added to these gardens 

this year and will feature interpretive signage 

following an EcoGarden approach, a program 

developed by the Central Kootenay Invasive Species 

Society (CKISS). Olga Hallborg, Castlegar 

Butterflyway Rangers Coordinator and Bren Beckwith, 

PhD, Owner, KinSeed Ecologies have been 

driving forces behind the native plant gardens 

located on the grounds of the Gallery. 

Olga Hallborg will share her inspiration for 

developing a Castlegar chapter of Butterflyway 

Rangers and passion for building a public space for 

native plants and their pollinators. 

Bren Beckwith, the gardens designer, will 

describe the transformation of the space into pollinator 

habitat, highlight some of the key plant species 

in the gardens, and link this project to others in 

the 

the region, as well as provide information on how 

people can continue to learn and get involved. 

Most of the plants that are growing in the Kootenay 

Gallery gardens have been provided by Kin- 

Seed Ecologies, Bren’s Nelson-based company that 

specializes in wild seed and plants that are truly 

native to the West Kootenay region. 

The Kootenay Gallery Native Plant Demonstration 

Gardens are a proud partnership of the Kootenay 

Gallery, Castlegar Butterflyway Rangers, 

Castlegar Communities in Bloom, KinSeed Ecologies, 

CKISS, and the Kootenay Native Plant Society 

(KNPS). Entry to this event is by donation and 

is free to Kootenay Gallery members. This talk is 

being presented as part of the programming for the 

exhibition Transcience by Janet Kabatoff. The exhibition 

opens August 26 at 7:00 pm and continues 

until October 29. 

The Kootenay Gallery and the Native Plant Garden 

are located at 120 Heritage Way. For more information,

Code Red 

It’s been over a year since the heat dome in British Columbia 

killed 619 people within just one week. It was the worst 

weather disaster in Canadian history. In Central Europe a 

heat wave with record temperatures soaring above 40 degrees 

Celsius has claimed more than 1,000 lives in Portugal alone. 

On World Health Day in April 2022, Doctors for Planetary 

Health – West Coast (D4PH) issued a report titled “CODE 

RED for British Columbia: Time to declare a climate and 

ecological emergency and make peace with nature.” The 

intention was to ensure a copy of this document gets into the 

hands of every MLA in B.C. 

On July 21, Kootenay West members of Doctors and Nurses 

for Planetary Health -Kootenay Boundary (DNPH-KB) were 

delighted to have the opportunity to discuss the importance 

of the document and pass it on to Kootenay West MLA and 

Minister of Forests, Katrine Conroy. The extreme urgency of 

the climate crisis we are in cannot be overstated. It is the biggest 

threat to our health, and at the same time, our greatest 

opportunity for improving global health. We know how busy 

healthcare workers have been since the start of the pandemic. 

But those of us involved in Doctors and Nurses for Planetary 

Health in the Kootenays and on the coast see the urgency 

of the climate crisis and have prioritized our efforts to work 

towards climate action and a just recovery. 

The Code Red report is based on a document published last 

year by The Lancet medical journal which demonstrated the 

relationship between health and climate change. This BC-Focused 

Code Red lays out the extent of damage human-generated 

greenhouse gas emissions are causing all beings and the 

planet. It also shows how five climate and ecological actions 

“will have clear benefits for all people and natural ecosystems, 

offering a path to a more prosperous, just, and equitable 

society.” 

Code Red urges our government to act now to: 

• Declare a climate emergency 

• Take action on climate change 

• Protect and restore nature 

• Create broad transformative change focused on human 

well being in balance with nature 

• Ensure a just transition 

Doctors, Nurses and health researchers are sounding the 

cry; we are seeing the impacts in our patients and around 

the world. Code Red concludes that we have the opportunity 

to vastly improve our world. BC is positioned to be a global 

leader in climate and ecological policy and action. The Clean 

BC road map is a start, but it will take every person, business, 

industry and government to play a role in implementing 

these plans. The connection between planetary and individual 

health and climate change is undeniable. As climate scientist 

Katherine Hayhoe says, “It’s not our planet itself: it will 

orbit the sun long after we’re gone. What’s at stake is literally 

us.” 

Code Red can be read at doctorsforplanetaryhealth.com.

Would your acreage benefit from soil amendment? 

Mercer Celgar is looking for landowners with 2 or more acres within 55 km 

that would benefit from using their Celgrow soil amendment. Pastures and 

hay fields are good options. 

Mercer Celgar will cover the costs of a Qualified Professional performing 

soil sampling, obtaining government authorization and delivery costs of Celgrow 

soil amendment based on access with a large truck/pup combination. 

Acreage should be able to accommodate at least 6 truck/pup loads. The two 

major components of Celgrow are individual wood fibres lost from the pulping 

process and surplus bacteria from the wastewater biological treatment 

facility. Wood fibres enhance soil moisture retention and bacteria are a good 

source of soil nutrients. The landowner is responsible for spreading and incorporating 

Celgrow into their soil.

Cycling in epic cancer fundraiser 

Anouschka Riverin, finance manager with the Regional District 

of Kootenay Boundary, will be swapping her calculator 

for cycling when she takes on the ‘Tour de Cure’ 100km fundraising 

bike ride in Chilliwack later this month. 

Her team, ‘Just Beat it’, hopes to complete the epic, in-person 

cycling challenge in under 5 hours and has raised nearly $2000 

to help the BC Cancer Foundation break down the disease 

through lifesaving research and enhancements to care. 

Three of the Rosslander’s closest outdoor adventure buddies 

will join her on BC’s biggest cycling fundraiser when she saddles 

up on Saturday, 27 August. Together they will be fuelled 

and motivated by the ‘generosity of colleagues at the RDKB’ 

who have been donating to it throughout her event training. 

“Helping to change the stigma around cancer has been a 

learning experience filled with constant personal growth,” says 

Anouschka, who is a cancer survivor and openly shares her 

story when prompted by colleagues and friends. Diagnosed 

with advanced Stage 4 colon cancer metastasized to her liver 

in November 2020, the BC Cancer Foundation played a major 

role in her recovery. It takes a whole team to break away from 

cancer and the players in Anouschka’s have been vast: The 

oncology team, Dr. Scotland and Dr. Schumacher at Kootenay 

Boundary Regional Hospital; her nurses and Dr. Eeason 

at Kelowna General; the radiation team and Dr. Liu at Vancouver’s 

BC Cancer Agency and her family doctor Dr.Jonas 

Sandstrom. 

“I’m so grateful to everyone who has supported me over the 

last couple of years as well as the kindness and generosity of

my colleagues at the RDKB. This cause is very personal to me 

but it affects everyone - nearly 1 in 2 Canadians will be diagnosed 

with cancer, and 1 in 4 will die from the disease,” adds 

Anouschka. 

Looking the picture of health, you wouldn’t expect Anouschka’s 

journey to have involved 12 rounds of chemotherapy, 

short-course radiation therapy and three surgeries in 2021 

alone. Apart from a small bump just below her right clavicle, 

beneath which lies a power port tube to her heart, there is little 

evidence on the outside of her scuffle with cancer. Her chemo 

tube is flushed monthly, and it remains in place as a constant 

reminder that remission is unlikely to last. She is very upbeat 

about it all and the team will be celebrating the fundraising 

event at the Waterpark afterwards. 

“My biggest concern is for my butt! I’m going to be on that 

saddle for a long stretch,” adds Anouschka who has been clocking 

over 100km

Winter fishing 

Lake Fishing The winter season is prime 

fishing time. Because of the depth of Kootenay 

Lake and the flow of the cu rents in the A row 

Lakes (both lakes are like widened areas of 

the Columbia River system), the water never 

freezes. Some people claim that wintertime 

fishing on the lakes is the best. You need an 

assortment of lures. Bucktails, plugs, apexes, 

Bi l Normans, and flasher/hoochies. That should 

Ice Fishing If you have a sled you can 

acces some of the sma l alpine lakes that do 

freeze. Many of these are stocked courtesy 

of the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. 

Again check www.sitesandtrailsbc.ca Another 

exce lent source is www.gofishbc.com 

For ice fishing, it is important to go to areas 

of the lake where the fish are most likely to 

concentrate. Fo rainbow trout and eastern 

brook char, the best fishing is often done in 

water less than five metres deep; in many 

situations, fishing in depths of three metres

Hunting & Fishing 

PAL, RPAL, and CORE courses 

The Nelson District Rod & Gun Club is again sponsoring 

a suite of training courses for folks interested 

in the safe handling of firearms for recreation and / 

or hunting. 

The Canadian Firearms Safety Courses (PAL for unrestricted 

long rifles and shotguns and RPAL for restricted 

firearms like pistols) will be offered during 

the period September 10 - 25, 2022. These are one 

day courses, including testing time. Minimum age 

for PAL is 12 and RPAL is 18. Safe handling of all 

common firearms and safe shooting techniques are 

taught. Cost $125 for PAL and $90 for RPAL. Classes 

are limited to 12 persons per instructor. 

The Conservation and Outdoor Recreation 

Education (CORE) two-day course includes practical 

firearms handling and a written examination 

on conservation, ethics, Indigenous peoples and 

hunting in BC, BC law and regulations, first aid 

and survival, firearms safety, and animal and bird 

identification. This course is required for hunting. It is 

open to minimum age 10 at a cost of $150 and will be 

offered September 17-18 and October 1-2. 

For further information and registration in any of 

the above, contact Alan Bond @ 250-352-2289. 

The Essentials 

As is the case with many hobbies and pastimes, hunting requires some unique gear. Hunters need to bring some essential gear 

along on each trip to ensure their safety, while other gear and gadgets are all about convenience. 

• Proper clothing: Hunting clothing comes in two main varieties: camouflage and blaze orange. Camo patterns mimic 

real-life foliage or use a digital pattern of natural colors to trick the animals’ eyes, preventing them from detecting the hunters’ 

outlines. Blaze orange hunting gear, from coats to hats to coveralls, is designed to make hunters visible to other hunters. Some 

game, like whitetail deer, cannot detect the orange color spectrum, so hunters need not worry that they will be compromising 

their hunting efforts. Depending on the hunting area and its specific regulations, camo or orange clothing will be required. Hunting 

clothing also should be comfortable for the weather and the conditions. Waterproof or water-resistant clothing can protect 

hunters from the elements as well. In cold climates, layer up and wear insulated materials. 

• Weapon and ammo: Hunters should always look for ammunition details for the animals they will be hunting so they 

choose the correct weapon and ammunition type. Weapons should be maintained and cleaned for safety, and all hunters should 

consider taking a course in the proper handling of weapons. 

• Knife: Knives are a staple for every hunting trip and can be used for multiple purposes. Most hunters prefer a dedicated 

knife for field dressing the animal, which includes gutting, boning, skinning, and butchering. Some knives fold and others are 

fixed blades. 

• Legal documents: Hunters should always carry their hunting licenses and have game tags on hand to mark their kills 

appropriately. Depending on where one lives and hunts, licenses may need to be visible on the person. 

• Calls and scents: It may be possible to lure game closer with special calls or scents. In addition, hunters may want to 

utilize scent killers, which are sprays and washes that remove human scents from clothing and gear so game are unaware that 

hunters are present. 

• Binoculars: While one may be able to use the scope on a weapon to spot game, binoculars are more efficient. 

• First aid kit and other safety gear: Hunters should stock a first aid kit, emergency phone, water and snacks to stay 

hydrated and fed, and a foldable paper map in the event cell phone signals fade or prove unreliable. 

Hunting requires patience, dedication and essential gear. With the right supplies, a hunting venture is that much more 

enjoyable.

Try Like Terry 

When Terry Fox 

told his mom and dad 

that he was planning 

a cross country Run, 

beginning at St. John’s, 

Newfoundland, his 

mom Betty asked why 

it couldn’t just be across 

BC. Terry’s answer: 

“because it’s not just 

people in BC who get 

cancer.” He knew that 

the only way he could 

reach his enormous 

fundraising goal of $1 

million was to take on 

our huge country, one 

Canadian at a time. 

One ask at a time. One 

try at a time. Terry died 

knowing his try had 

touched the hearts of 

24 million Canadians. 

To date, his amazing 

strength, commitment, 

and legacy have raised 

over $800 million for cancer treatment and research. 

Terry said, as he dipped his artificial leg in the Atlantic 

Ocean, on April 12, 1980 “it all begins today!” 

On Sunday September 18, “it all begins AGAIN today”, in 

Nelson, as the community comes together once more in-person 

at Lakeside Park, to support Terry’s legacy for cancer research. 

The route will be marked at .5 km distance intervals, so that, 

rain or shine, everyone, be they old or young, be they walking, 

running, biking, or roller-blading, can participate. Registration 

can be done on-line or at the park, but everyone must check in 

at the registration table. 

To register on-line, go to https://run.terryfox.ca/nelson 

Registration and check-in at the Park begins at 8:30 am., 

near the gate, with speeches at 9:20 am., and the run starts at 

9:30 am. 

Don’t say cancer can’t be defeated. Say we have to TeRrY. 

Don’t say we can’t make a difference. Say we have to TeRrY. 

About The Terry Fox Foundation 

The Terry Fox Foundation is an international organization 

whose mission is to maintain the vision and principles of 

Terry Fox while raising money for cancer research through the 

annual Terry Fox Runs, School Runs and other fundraising initiatives. 

To date, over $800 million has been raised worldwide 

in Terry Fox’s name to fund the most promising and innovative 

research. The Terry Fox Foundation National Office is located 

in Burnaby, BC and has offices in nine provinces. Visit terryfox.

BE PREPARED: Grab-and-go bag 

An emergency plan is a playbook for how you and your 

household will respond to disasters, including wildfires. Knowing 

what to do will reduce anxiety and help keep you focused 

and safe. Part of that plan includes having a grab-and-go bag. 

A grab-and-go bag is a small emergency kit that’s easy to take 

with you, in case you need to leave right away. It’s a good idea to 

make grab-and-go bags for your home, workplace and vehicle. 

Include: 

- Food (ready to eat) and water (think of pet food too!) 

- Phone charger and battery bank 

- Small battery-powered or hand-crank radio 

- Battery-powered or hand-crank flashlight 

- Extra batteries 

- Small first-aid kit and personal medications 

- Personal toiletries and items, such as an extra pair of glasses 

or contact lenses 

- Copy of your emergency plan 

- Copies of important documents, such as insurance papers 

and identification 

- Cash in small bills 

- Local map with your family meeting place identified 

- Seasonal clothing and an emergency blanket 

- Pen and notepad 

- Whistle

Monarch Butterflies Return 

On June 

24, Tiffany 

Muncaster, a 

summer intern 

working for 

the Pollination 

Pathway Climate 

Adaptation 

Initiative, was 

surveying showy 

milkweed in the 

Pend d’Oreille 

valley when she 

caught a glimpse 

of a bright orange 

butterfly fluttering amongst the milkweeds. “The vibrant 

orange wings were striking, I couldn’t believe my eyes, it had 

to be a Monarch,” said Muncaster. 

Returning a week later, a Pollination Pathway team was 

delighted to discover at least 21 monarch larvae happily feeding 

on young milkweed plants. “This is the fourth confirmed 

breeding site for Monarchs in the West Kootenay, and the 

first time Monarchs have been seen here since 2018,” says 

Valerie Huff, program manager of the Pollination Pathway, a 

program of the Kootenay Native Plant Society (KNPS). 

The western Monarch population has seen precipitous 

declines in recent years, losing more than 95% of their 

numbers since the 1980s. Western Monarchs overwinter in 

California, unlike their eastern cousins who overwinter in 

Mexico. In the spring, they fly north over several generations, 

reaching Southern British Columbia. In late August, the 

Monarchs born here will fly all the way back to California. 

Numbers in California rebounded this year from an all-time 

low in 2021, a hopeful sign that there is still time to protect 

the species. “We are thrilled to celebrate the resilience of this 

iconic insect,” says Huff. “And we all have a role to play in 

supporting Monarchs in the West Kootenay.” 

Are you as excited about Monarchs as we are? Here’s what 

you can do: 

1. Protect, restore and enhance existing milkweed populations. 

Monarchs cannot complete their lifecycle without it, 

and milkweed is in serious decline here in the West Kootenay. 

Volunteer with KNPS and support the growing local network 

of monarch waystations. http://kootenaynativeplants.ca 

2. Create new habitat by planting showy milkweed (Asclepias 

speciosa) and other important nectar plants in your gardens 

from locally sourced seeds. http://kootenaynativeplants. 

ca/our-work/milkweed-for-monarchs/ 

3. Let KNPS know if you observe Monarch activity. 

• Do not disturb the Monarch (in any life phase) but take 

clear photos and write down a description of what you see. 

Send this information, along with the date and location, to 

info@kootenaynativeplants.ca, with “Monarch sighting” in 

the subject line. 

• If you have milkweed planted in your yard, watch for 

flying adults and leaf-eating by larvae. 

• Be a citizen scientist and go on a mission for the monarch. 

https://www.mission-monarch.org/ 

• Learn more about monarch butterflies by visiting the 

Monarch Joint Venture website. (https://monarchjointventure.org) 

About the Kootenay Native Plant Society: 

The Kootenay Native Plant Society (KNPS) celebrates 

the rich native flora of the West Kootenay region of British 

Columbia. We seek to foster an understanding and appreciation 

of our native plants and to preserve their diversity 

for future generations. The Pollination Pathway Climate 

Adaptation Initiative is a five-year KNPS project focused on 

enhancing plant-pollinator networks and building ecological 

resilience in the Lower Columbia Region of south-central 

British Columbia. 

KNPS gratefully acknowledges the financial support of the 

Columbia Basin Trust, Selkirk Innovates, and Mitacs.

New Long-Term Care Beds 

People in Nelson and surrounding areas will soon have 

access to high-quality long-term care in their community 

with the construction of 75 new publicly funded long-term 

care beds at 902 Eleventh St. in Nelson. 

The long-term care is a partnership between the Ministry 

of Health, Interior Health, Columbia Basin Trust, and 

Golden Life Management and is expected to be complete in 

September 2024. It will be part of the Nelson Health Campus, 

a new modern location that will include the amalgamation 

of existing local health services into one place. 

“Seniors and indigenous elders deserve safe, comfortable 

and high-quality care close to home,” said Adrian Dix, Minister 

of Health. “This new facility, which is part of the largest 

one-time increase in long-term care beds in the Interior in 

more than 16 years,

will ensure that older adults in Nelson and surrounding 

areas have access to care in their community when they need 

it.” 

After a competitive bidding process, the contract to 

finance, build and own the new development was awarded 

to Mount St. Francis (CBT) Enterprises Ltd., a partnership 

between Columbia Basin Trust and Golden Life Management. 

Interior Health will lease and operate the facility. 

The long-term care building and the Nelson Health Campus 

will be located on the old Mount St. Francis hospital 

site, which was built in the 1940s and operated by the sisters 

of St. Ann. The hospital closed in 2005 and the deconstruction 

will be complete in July 2022. Interior Health consulted 

with the sisters of St. Ann, the local heritage community 

and the City of Nelson before deconstruction. Anything of 

historical importance was preserved. 

“I am thrilled by the announcement of new long-term care 

homes and the Nelson Health Campus building in our community,” 

said Brittny Anderson, MLA for Nelson-Creston. 

“These projects will ensure expanded access to high-quality 

care for seniors in our community and is one more example 

of our government’s commitment to improving care for 

seniors in B.C.” 

The new long-term care building will feature a modern 

design and provide a warm and caring environment. The 

building features private bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, 

and dining and activity spaces for each small neighbourhood. 

Other amenities include secure outdoor courtyards 

and patios.

Apple Picking Tips 

For apples that are ready to eat (or dunk in 

caramel), pick from the outside of the tree. 

Apples on the outer branches ripen first, so 

work your way in as the season progresses. 

Remember, once you pick an apple it stops 

the ripening process—so for the best taste, 

make sure the fruit is ready to be picked. 

Pick, Don’t Shake 

To properly pick an apple, roll the apple 

upward off the branch and give a little twist. 

You’ll know the apple is ripe if the stem is easily 

removed from the spur of the branch. Don’t 

pull the apple straight away from the tree, and 

never, shake the branches. Why? Even a gentle 

shake can cause a heap of apples to fall to the 

ground. Without a net, this can give the fruit 

major bruises. Unnecessary food waste. 

Avoid Bruising 

Whether you opt for plastic bags, a reusable 

tote, or a wooden basket, be sure to store and 

stow your apples with care. Gently place them 

in your carrying container to avoid bruising. 

Bruised apples rot faster and will cause the other 

apples to rot as well.

Bats on the move 

Are you noticing more bats around your house or property? 

You are not alone! Mid-summer is the time when 

landowners typically notice more bat activity, may have 

bats flying into their house, and occasionally find a bat on 

the ground or roosting in unusual locations. 

These surprise visitors are often the young pups. “In 

July and August, pups are learning to fly, and their early 

efforts may land them in locations where they are more 

likely to come in contact with humans“, says Elodie Kuhnert, 

regional coordinator with the Kootenay Got Bats? 

BC Community Bat Program. As noticed in 2021, heat

and smoke may also cause bats to use unusual roost 

sites. If you find a bat, alive or dead, remember to never 

touch it with your bare hands. Bats in BC are known to 

carry rabies at a low level; this is why it is important to 

avoid any contact. If you must move a bat, use a trowel or 

similar, and always wear leather gloves to protect yourself 

from direct contact. Talk to your children to make 

sure they understand to never touch, play or try to rescue 

injured or sick-looking bats. If you suspect a bite or 

scratch from a bat, immediately wash the area with soap 

and water for 15 minutes. Also contact your public health 

or your doctor as soon as possible, or go to the emergency 

department. For more information on rabies please refer 

to the BCCDC website http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/ 

diseases-conditions/rabies. 

Bats are often found in close association with humans, 

as some species (such as the Little Brown Myotis) have 

adapted to live in human structures, and colonies may be 

found under roofs or siding, or in attics, barns, or other 

buildings. Female bats gather in maternity colonies to 

have a single pup in early summer, where they will remain 

until the pups are ready to fly. Having bats is viewed as 

a benefit by many landowners, who appreciate the insect 

control. Others may prefer to exclude the bats. Under 

the BC Wildlife Act it is illegal to exterminate or directly 

harm bats, and exclusion should only be done in the fall 

and winter after it is determined that the bats are no longer 

in the building. If you have bats on your property, the 

BC Community Bat Project can offer advice and support. 

You can keep bats out of your living space by keeping 

doors and windows closed and ensuring window screens 

do not have any holes. If you find a live bat in a room 

of your home, open the window and close interior doors 

until the bat leaves, or follow the steps here: https://batworld.org/what-to-do-if-you-found_a_bat/#indoors 

. 

Always vaccinate your pets against rabies. 

For information on safely moving a bat if necessary and 

to report bat sightings, landowners can visit the Got Bats?

The Langham is honoured 

to present Of Light Itself 

showcasing the life and work of 

the eclectic Japanese Canadian 

artist Tsuneko Kokubo who 

was born in Steveston, B.C. in 

1937, and since 1994, has been 

living on the shores of Slocan 

Lake in Silverton. Fondly 

known as ‘Koko’, her creativity 

and knowledge in several arenas of experience and study 

are reflected in her multiple bodies of work, both visual 

and in performance physical theatre. 

The exhibition is a 66-year survey of Koko’s creative life, 

which includes paintings from her earlier art school days 

to her current works in oils and acrylics. Parallel to her 

visual work, the exhibition includes sample video clips 

of past choreographed performances over the years, 

and interviews, expanding her dynamic vision through 

multiple mediums. Curated by Maggie Tchir. 

Well life is still not what we would call normal; but the Real Estate 

market is starting to normalize. The trend is starting to favour 

Buyers and more inventory is emerging. The Covid driven spike in 

the marketplace has settled down, and with rising interest rates and 

more inventory the market is adjusting. Prices that we saw in the first 

quarter of 2022 simply don’t exist anymore. Sellers are looking at 

offers and considering their options, they may be able to buy their new 

home for a lower price; so this seems more relative. If you are thinking 

of selling, call Joni. 

NO UP FRONT FEES! YOU ONLY PAY WHEN WE GET RESULTS!
