Christian captain joins to talk about the warnings from the Health Officials about that bat and rabies. Good morning. Reporter good morning, guys. That bat discovered on a path. The animal taken to lindsey Wildlife Hospital where it later died and the diagnosis of rabies was confirmed. The park goer discovered that bat on sunday in clayton. They scooped the animal in a box and transported it to the Wildlife Hospital careful not to touch it. It was a very smart move since the animal was diagnosed with rabies. The bat was reportedly scared and sick and died about a week after it was brought to the hospital. Officials say it was not the first rabid bat discovered. There was two other bats bringing the total number of confirmed is cases of rabies in contra costa to three. Seeing a bat is neat but we want to remind you they may be rabid and if your beaten you could develop rabies. Officials stressing that bats pose no risk to humans if they are healthy but if you confront one do not approach it especially fit is exhibiting unusual activity like laying on the ground during daily. If you do encounter a bat and it breaks the skin you need to be tested for rabies, if untreated rabies is fatal in humans animals. The treatment is five shots in the arms but not in the stomach as we have heard about but five shorts in the arm can be an ordeal, the take home message is bats are fun to observe and watch and see and people are intrigued by them, do not approach and if you see one picking those unusual behaviors like lying on the ground during the daylight, do not touch or approach but call wildlife officials and let them know. Great advice. I was going to say. Good stuff. All right. Thank you, christian time is 7 05. Palo alto Police Investigating a string of fires.

Reporter thats right. You might have caught me looking over my shoulder here to make sure the congressman has not started out. You can see the large crowd over here, the east bay congressman in the middle, leading the mike. Its about a twomile like. Theyll go down the path here at the lake, and this is an opportunity for him to meet with some of his constituents and address theissues. We spoke with some folks out here and they say, while they are interested in what is going on in washington, d. C. , they are very interested in a lot of local issues that are going on so they will talk about that, but with everything thats going on in washington, d. C. , you can bet hell be answering a lot of questions about everything from russia to north korea to the recent healthcare bill, a lot of issues coming up. We talked with the congressman when he arrived here and he said, theres a lot of issues going on in washington, d. C. That certainly will affect people here in the bay area. Im worried about north koreas continued testing of iicbms and their abilities. We need American Leadership. Over the course of history, its been American Leadership that has confronted the most dangerous threats. Reporter you can see that that crowd getting ready to leave, and its supposed to leave here at 8 30 so theyre going to be heading out at any moment. Well bring you more sounds from the congressman, in particular about the issues we have heard about this morning, russia, north korea, you heard him talk about north korea and the thought that he believes that north crew represents in particular with their most recent missile test, and we talked to him about the week in the white house, what it means for the average citizen and what it means in washington, d. C. , so certainly a lot of interest on what is going upon in washington, d. C. And how it affects us here in the bay area. Our local politicians have talk bad how the town Hall Meetings have really grown in the last year or so as people become more engaged. Im impressed by how many people are there. Reporter yes. Keep in mind, were talking 8 30 on a saturday morning and i have not counted but theres more than 60 people here who are ready to go on out with the congressman. Perhaps all the issues that are going on in washington, d. C. Are encouraging people to come out. They want to hear from their representative. But, again, interestingly, while people are interested in what is going on in washington, d. C. , we talked with two women in morning who told me they really want to know what is going on here in the bay area, everything from education to law enforcement. So a full plate and a lot to talk about this morning here with the congressman on this i think frank said, said it well earlier, part hike, part town hall, and as you can see, its very wellattended. Its a good idea. It looks like they are heading out behind you. Nothing like a good hike to kind of clear your head. A way to motivate people to come out and rub elbows with a member of congress. Reporter absolutely. Order fairly wed walk with them. I even have my walking shoes on, if i needed, but due to technical limitations well stay on up here. Well bring more sound to you, more interviews from the congressman so you can get a sense of what hell talk about on the hike and we hope to get a debrief from you after about what they asked him, what people wanted to hear from him and hopefully get feedbacks from the constituents, and find out how they feel the congress Peyton Manning addressed about how it went.
