The Underground Movement Volume 18, Number 6 THE NATIONAL SPELEOLOGICAL SOCIETY June 2018 The National Speleological Society (NSS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the scientific study of caves and karst; protecting caves and their natural contents through conservation, ownership, stewardship, and public education; and promoting responsible cave exploration and fellowship among those interested in caves. Close to 200 regional member organizations (called grottos) make up the backbone of the NSS. Grottos are devoted to the training of both novice and advanced cavers, as well as to the continued development and refinement of equipment and tech- nique for safe underground exploration. Grottos conduct meetings, organize training programs, and sponsor caving trips on a regular basis. Interested beginners are welcome. Information on membership in the NSS and its various programs and ac- tivities can be found on the NSS website (www.caves.org/). Although membership in the NSS is not a requirement for joining the CCG, all CCG members are strongly encouraged to join the NSS. In terms of educational opportunities available, acquisition of caving skills and experience, and the po- tential for networking with other cavers on a local, regional, or even global scale, the benefits to cavers of NSS member- ship are incalculable. I would like to express my thanks to those who contribut- ed material―either articles, photographs, trip reports, or CAVE SOFTLY announcements―to the last several issues of The Under- ground Movement as well as to everyone who contributed Take Nothing But Pictures to this month’s issue. It is only through continued submis- sions from the membership and friends of the grotto that a Leave Nothing But Footprints viable newsletter can be sustained. Kill Nothing But Time Special thanks to Merrill Ann Gonzales for generously allowing the Central Connecticut Grotto and The Underground Movement to use her beautiful illustrations for the cover and page headers and as the backdrop for the cover-illustration description. 3

Brass On July 7, 2011, members of the Central Connecticut Grotto (Norm Berg and Danny Brass) accompanied scien- tists from the Division of Invertebrate Zoology, Yale Pea- body Museum of Natural History to Torys Cave in New Milford, CT. The purpose of the trip was an initial survey of the cave for invertebrate fauna. The presence of inver- tebrates in the cave has not previously been assessed. Lourdes Rojas, Richard Boardman, and Nicole Palffy- Muhoray collected samples from exposed ground surfac- es, from beneath small breakdown blocks, and from the Peabody Museum and Weantinoge Heritage Land Trust staff. shallow pool in the lower level of the cave.

The Underground Movement Volume 18, Number 6 OLD TIMERS REUNION 2018 June 2018 All of the OTR Caver Contests will have bigger prizes; and there’s a brand new overall Grotto Participation Prize ($250-bucks CASH―that’s a lot of beer!) that’s truly worth seeking, if not just for the bragging rights! That’s not to mention the Sunday night Awards Ceremony, where we honor selected OTR Caver Contestants and TRA folks (--we promise to keep it brief!). Bring a lawnchair, and stick around afterwards for the music of Buzzz City! The new Event Tent attraction was well received in 2017, and this year’s schedule already is filling-up with interest- ing presentations, discussions and activities about caves and caving-related topics. We’ve upgraded to provide a brand new tent with improved seating, lighting and a sound system, and it’s sure to please after a stroll down Vendor’s Row past all the cave and caver -related items available for your perusal, consideration, procurement and acquisition. Once again, located at the end of Vendor’s Row near the Event Tent will be a Cave/Activity Trip bulletin board for individuals and grottos to announce caving and other planned trips. Please consider announcing your trip at this site and invite fellow cavers to join you! Insurance does not allow OTR to have Event-sponsored trips, so I need your help in organizing and sharing cave trips. Go caving, take a stranger and make a new friend!

The Underground Movement Volume 18, Number 6 NEW REGULATIONS IMPACT THREATENED & ENDANGERED BATS June 2018 NEW REGULATIONS LIKELY TO IMPACT THREATENED & ENDANGERED BATS All Protected Species Now Required to be Actively Looking for New Habitat in Order to Receive Federal Funding WASHINGTON—In an attempt to ensure that the Federal Benefit Program is not taken advantage of, a new regula- tion announced by the administration on Tuesday will require all organisms facing extinction to be actively searching for a new habitat in order to receive funding for their protection under the Endangered Species Act. “Effective imme- diately, America’s at-risk species must prove that they are making a satisfactory effort to find a different ecosystem to live in if they wish to obtain government assistance for their continued survival,” said the Secretary of the Interior, adding that endangered creatures should not be allowed to just sit back and live on public lands at taxpayer expense unless they agree to take steps to better their own situations. “An ‘endangered’ status isn’t a free pass, and it’s im- portant that we put forth policies to encourage a culture of personal responsibility among our nation’s plants and ani- mals. We’re not doing species, such as the gray bat, the Indiana bat, or the northern long-eared bat, any favors when we allow them to live on the government’s dime, which can create a disincentive for them to secure a place in another habitat and become self-sufficient.” At press time, the Department of the Interior announced further regulations cap- ping the amount of time a species can remain on the endangered list at six months. Consideration is also being given to legislation requiring all invasive species to leave the country by year’s end. 12
