Now if the NC Gov budget is approved to fund the new positions summer runs would resume by 2010. Perhaps Obama's stimulus bill could provide training for these new employees Coast Guard calls for two additional employees to work the Ferry runsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-68409059507028031322009-03-22T00:15:00.000-04:002009-03-22T00:15:00.000-04:00I "lurk" all the time.

And there is no need to read my blog on our new radio station (www.wovv.org) since news generally travels fast on the island, and I am seldom the initiator of it. My audience? lots of off-island friends of Ocracoke, and more local islanders than I once thought.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01572532603071469799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-25246494391323518372009-03-20T05:25:00.000-04:002009-03-20T05:25:00.000-04:00Your blog is a valuable community service.

If residents routinely log on to read -- now, If someone visited the OI for the first time and knew nothing of your blog; would they leave the island knowing about your blog??
