The contract will go out for bids this week or next, then they will wait to see what happens. They anticipate funding 5 days of lifeguards and asking Ocracoke for 10K to pay for two more days. <br />This was a decision made locally by the Cape Hatteras National Seashore superintendent. Most of us on Ocracoke believe that NPS can and should pay fund the lifeguards. Ocracoke Civic and Business Association started an online petition to keep pressure on Supt. Trimble and encourage him to do the right thing: http://www.change.org/petitions/save-our-lifeguards-put-lifeguards-back-on-our-beaches<br /><br />Thanks to Philip for keeping the lifeguard issue in the news!

Why would it be foolish to think that this is indeed a viable solution to the problem. A Libertarian would think the government has no role in saving someone that doe not know how to swim but chooses to go into the rough seas. Why is it foolish to board a boat without life jackets. Why is it foolish to get in a car and choose not to use seat belts. Why is it foolish to text and swim ? And why would visiting teenagers be worried about a drone seeing them ? All one has to do is follow them on face book or read their tweets... wait do you think they make stuff up and put it on face book or lie when they tweet....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559692.post-55707238272599637672014-04-01T09:38:15.101-04:002014-04-01T09:38:15.101-04:00Gotcha!!
