Bats on the move<br />
Are you noticing more bats around your house or property?<br />
You are not alone! Mid-summer is the time when<br />
landowners typically notice more bat activity, may have<br />
bats flying into their house, and occasionally find a bat on<br />
the ground or roosting in unusual locations.<br />
These surprise visitors are often the young pups. “In<br />
July and <strong>Aug</strong>ust, pups are learning to fly, and their early<br />
efforts may land them in locations where they are more<br />
likely to come in contact with humans“, says Elodie Kuhnert,<br />
regional coordinator with the Kootenay Got Bats?<br />
BC Community Bat Program. As noticed in 2021, heat<br />

and smoke may also cause bats to use unusual roost<br />
sites. If you find a bat, alive or dead, remember to never<br />
touch it with your bare hands. Bats in BC are known to<br />
carry rabies at a low level; this is why it is important to<br />
avoid any contact. If you must move a bat, use a trowel or<br />
similar, and always wear leather gloves to protect yourself<br />
from direct contact. Talk to your children to make<br />
sure they understand to never touch, play or try to rescue<br />
injured or sick-looking bats. If you suspect a bite or<br />
scratch from a bat, immediately wash the area with soap<br />
and water for 15 minutes. Also contact your public health<br />
or your doctor as soon as possible, or go to the emergency<br />
department. For more information on rabies please refer<br />
to the BCCDC website http://www.bccdc.ca/health-info/<br />

Bats are often found in close association with humans,<br />
as some species (such as the Little Brown Myotis) have<br />
adapted to live in human structures, and colonies may be<br />
found under roofs or siding, or in attics, barns, or other<br />
buildings. Female bats gather in maternity colonies to<br />
have a single pup in early summer, where they will remain<br />
until the pups are ready to fly. Having bats is viewed as<br />
a benefit by many landowners, who appreciate the insect<br />
control. Others may prefer to exclude the bats. Under<br />
the BC Wildlife Act it is illegal to exterminate or directly<br />
harm bats, and exclusion should only be done in the fall<br />
and winter after it is determined that the bats are no longer<br />
in the building. If you have bats on your property, the<br />
BC Community Bat Project can offer advice and support.<br />
You can keep bats out of your living space by keeping<br />
doors and windows closed and ensuring window screens<br />
do not have any holes. If you find a live bat in a room<br />
of your home, open the window and close interior doors<br />
until the bat leaves, or follow the steps here: https://batworld.org/what-to-do-if-you-found_a_bat/#indoors<br />
.<br />
Always vaccinate your pets against rabies.<br />

to report bat sightings, landowners can visit the Got Bats?<br />

The Langham is honoured<br />
to present Of Light Itself<br />
showcasing the life and work of<br />
the eclectic Japanese Canadian<br />
artist Tsuneko Kokubo who<br />
was born in Steveston, B.C. in<br />
1937, and since 1994, has been<br />
living on the shores of <strong>Slocan</strong><br />
Lake in Silverton. Fondly<br />
known as ‘Koko’, her creativity<br />
and knowledge in several arenas of experience and study<br />
are reflected in her multiple bodies of work, both visual<br />
and in performance physical theatre.<br />
The exhibition is a 66-year survey of Koko’s creative life,<br />
which includes paintings from her earlier art school days<br />
to her current works in oils and acrylics. Parallel to her<br />
visual work, the exhibition includes sample video clips<br />
of past choreographed performances over the years,<br />
and interviews, expanding her dynamic vision through<br />
multiple mediums. Curated by Maggie Tchir.<br />
Well life is still not what we would call normal; but the Real Estate<br />
market is starting to normalize. The trend is starting to favour<br />
Buyers and more inventory is emerging. The Covid driven spike in<br />
the marketplace has settled down, and with rising interest rates and<br />
more inventory the market is adjusting. Prices that we saw in the first<br />
quarter of 20<strong>22</strong> simply don’t exist anymore. Sellers are looking at<br />
offers and considering their options, they may be able to buy their new<br />
home for a lower price; so this seems more relative. If you are thinking<br />
of selling, call Joni.<br />
