 | | The Southeastern Cave Conservancy, in cooperation with the Huntsville Grotto of the National Speleological Society, is proud to recognize Lonnie Carr, of Sparta, Tennessee, as the recipient of the third John Van Swearingen IV Stewardship Award. |
 | | The NSS pays a reward of $250 to $1,000 for information leading to the conviction of any person (or persons) convicted of vandalizing, damaging, or destroying caves, cave wildlife, cave gates, cave artifacts, etc. Many southeastern caves, including several owned by the SCCi, have suffered attacks by vandals. |
 | | The NSS and SCCi encourage all cavers to report vandals and acts of vandalism so that they can be prosecuted under state cave protection laws. |
