It was on tv news last night.
Now what do we do?
Is this the bat's revenge against us for giving them white nose?

First it was vampire bats heading to the U.S.
And now it's bat flu!
Think I'm going to run and hide in a cave!
Oh, wait...

For those interested in White-Nose Syndrome, Craig Stihler
recently gave an overview of the status of bats in WV. The one
bright spot is that Virginia big-eared bats seem to be immune to
WNS.

We need to cross breed those immune bats with the non-immune ones. Produce
a Super Bat!

For anyone in the San Antonio area, tonight on the Ch 4 WOAI 10:00pm news is a
story about the Cave Mass Spectroscopy project that some colleagues and I at
work did last fall. Most of the filming for the story was done at Robber Baron,
which we used as one of our study caves.
Thanks,
Joe

Dear Texas Cavers,
Schoharie County in upstate New York is the prime caving area in the
northeastern region (NRO-NSS). The county was hit badly by Hurricane Irene
in 2011. NRO Cavers have contributed a great deal so far in physical help
with the clean up and in fundraising. The NRO caving community has fostered
a wonderful relationship with the local folks over the years and especially
now in responding to their needs. For example the Fall NRO meet saw many
cavers helping in the cleanup rather than going caving that weekend.
Additionally, last weekend the NRO and Howe Caverns sponsored a special
off-tour caving trip at Howe Caverns for cavers that raised over $2100.
You may have attended the 1991 NSS Convention in Cobleskill, New York. That
was in Schoharie County. Also, Schoharie is home to Speleobooks and Emily
and Mike are highly involved in helping the local folks in their time of
need.
Here is how cavers can help the small county high school in their efforts to
help the community. Please read the email below and cast your vote. We can
make a difference. This is a national contest, open to public voting.
Check out the 12 videos on the site and especially the one by the Schoharie
High School students. There is not a finalist from a Texas school, so Texas
cavers should have no conflict of interest.
Thanks,
Ernst Kastning

Schoharie is still ahead; help keep it that way.

A message from a friend that I think it would be great if we could all
support
This is very important for a local high school. As you know Schoharie
suffered terribly last fall in that flood. Samsung has sponsored a contest
for high schools - 1500 schools entered and 12 were selected as finalists
for the People's Choice Award. Schoharie high school is one of them. Each
school made a video of a science project - Schoharie is testing the soil
to see if the farmers can plant again where the flood hit or if the soil is
contaminated.
Please go to www.samsung.com/solvefortomorrow
<http://www.samsung.com/solvefortomorrow> to vote for Schoharie. Right now
it is a tight race between a California school and Schoharie.
None of the other schools are close. You can vote once a day until March
12th. The first time you vote, you may get a window asking that you confirm
your e-mail address. If it doesn't seem to work, you will get an e-mail
back asking you to confirm and then each day afterwards, there will be no
problem.
There is a great deal of money involved and it would be great
if little Schoharie High School could win.
I have been checking the results and we are losing ground - CA
is catching up to Schoharie. Someone checked and the CA school is very
large and affluent and Schoharie is only 850 kids and the equipment they
would receive would mean a great deal to them.
Please, please take the minute each day to vote.
