MIKE'S COMMENTARY AND SOME BITS OF WISDOM:
There's a time each year
That we always hold dear,
Good old summer time;
With the birds and the trees'es
And sweet scented breezes,
Good old summer time,
When you day's work is over
Then you are in clover,
And life is one beautiful rhyme,
No trouble annoying,
Each one is enjoying,
The good old summer time.
"In the Good Old Summertime"
-- Lyrics by Ron Shields

KCNET CLASSES STARTING SOON:
KCnet invites the public to a one-hour primer on “Internet Safety” for families, Monday August 13 at 7 PM. The program is for parents and guardians but the whole family is invited.
Parents can be the key to safe and rewarding online experiences for the whole family.
A digital divide exists between parents and their children when it comes to the use of technology. In most cases, the kids know more about the Internet and new technology than their parents.
The Internet is a marvelous, wonderful source of information and entertainment. But we all should know that the power of the Internet doesn’t come without dangers and risks. You take a risk every time you log on. Internet predators, cyber bullying, pornography, piracy, spam, and identity theft are a handful of crimes currently infecting the cyber world today.
There are over 50 million students from ages 5-17 using the Internet. Keystone Community Network (KCnet) believes there is no better time to get the message out to students, family members, and other people in our community about how they can protect themselves when surfing the ‘Net.
Sue Foust, KCnet Executive Director, will present the one-hour program for parents and children to learn what to do and what not to do on the Internet. By becoming smarter Internet users, you can avoid some of the most common pitfalls that can cause serious problems.
Students and parents all across the country are taking action by educating and empowering themselves and others to act safely and responsibly online. Call KCnet at 893-8111 to make your reservation for the one-hour program. Cost is $5 per family. The presentation will be in the KCnet Community Room, 18 East Main Street, Lock Haven.

The starting time is 9:00 AM and we meet in Computer Lab 1 (The Big Room). Leadership is Mike Foust and anyone that wants to jump into the fray. Quite a day these past two Wednesdays. We got rollin' with some pics sent by Advanced User viewers and others gleaned by Mike. We then settled into our seats and took another wild tech ride. Among the many 'puter topics covered we... 08/01

 Parents,
grandparents, guardians and child care providers can be the key to safe
and rewarding online experiences for children.

Call KCnet at 893-8111 to schedule a time for the one-hour program for your group or organization. We have a nice community room for programs such as this, or we can bring the program to you. Get smart! Until next time… KCnet Board Of Directors Officers:
