Show Sheep Creek cave access requires permit Dave Bull, Flaming Gorge District ranger, Oct 4 announced a change in the management of Sheep Creek cave by reconstructing the gate at the cave entrance to allow al-low for unrestricted bat access and to manage recreational access to the cave. Access will be allowed by permit only from April 1 through Sept 30. Permits will be available at the Flaming Gorge District office in Manila. The cave will be closed to recreational use from Oct. 1 through March 31 during sensitive bat use periods. An interpretive program (signs, brochures and guided tours) to increase public awareness of bat and cave ecology will also be initiated. The purpose of and need for this management is to protect Townsend's big-eared bats during sensitive use periods (Oct. 1 through March 31), achieve the objective ob-jective of the Federal Cave Resources Protection Act of 1988, minimize vandalism by managing human access, and to increase public pub-lic awareness of bat and cave ecology, ecol-ogy, said Bull. These measures will be monitored annually to determine their effectiveness. Further recreational access may be more or less restricted depending on the monitoring results. Public involvement in-volvement will be key prior to changing the recreational access noted in this decision.

The following is some information that might help you keep up with the fast-paced lifestyle of surfing the 'Net. (The computer equivalent to flipping TV channels with your remote. Now, wasn't that easy?) The Internet or 'Net was originally origi-nally developed in the early 1960s as a Defense Department project to protect vital computer data in the case of a nuclear war. Over the years, educators, scientists sci-entists and students joined the national computer network to exchange information, "meet" each other, and collaborate on projects. Information available ranges from entertainment to theoretical research, from free software to the text of Shakespeare's plays. People often turn to the Internet for information they cannot find anywhere else. The World Wide Web is a global, glob-al, loosely organized collection of information. Using a mouse and icons on their computer screens, viewers of web pages can "point and click" their way around. Repeat after me: The Web is part of the Internet, but there are still parts of the Internet that are not on the Web. The Web is, however, howev-er, the fastest growing area of the Internet, and its size is doubling every six months. Right now, the Web is estimated to have as many as 20 million users worldwide.

And this ad alone. ' That concentration, very simply, is the power of newspaper. Radio and television wish they could command that kind of attention from their listeners. But, too many times, radio and television commercials become little more that background noise. When people turn to their paper, they turn there with interest. Which means that's where your advertising message needs to be. With all the choices available, it's difficult deciding how best to advertise your business.

Seekers look for something specific specif-ic while surfers look for anything that strikes their fancy. There are two ways to be on the Web as a user and as a publisher, pub-lisher, one who creates sites and provides information. To explore the Web, you need an Internet connection, which is a combination combina-tion of hardware and software, and a Web browser, which allows you to view Web pages. The simplest way to connect with the Internet is through a direct network connection. The advantage to this is that it's ten times faster than the highest speed modem. Perhaps the second most-popular connection option is the dial-up dial-up account which uses a modem to call an Internet server and provides pro-vides unlimited access for a monthly fee, usually less than $50. The downside to dial-up connections con-nections is that they are slower than the direct connections.
