Rants of the Island Free Press

Of late, EyeonDare has been paying some attention to a Hatteras Island oriented website by the name of Island Free Press. And, quite frankly, EOD thinks the site's editor, Irene Nolan, should wake up and realize there's another world outside of that which exists south of the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge and north of Ocracoke Island.  Can life exist on Hatteras Island without the never ending plight for "ORV beach access"? EOD wonders.

Recently, editor Nolan seems to have gotten "out of sorts" because someone erected a large sign on the island which supports the Romney/Ryan Presidential campaign. The sign, according to Nolan, says that Romney is for "beach access". However, Nolan says, "No way, Jose!"

In taking exception to the above, Nolan points out that the size of the sign "probably" violates Dare County's sign ordinance because it exceeds 6 square feet. EOD thinks Nolan should ride across the Bonner Bridge once in a while, where she can enjoy the hodgepodgery of political signery on the northern Outer Banks. Perhaps then, she will notice the humongous signs (exceeding 6 square feet)  erected by local candidates Paul Tine and Stan White, both of whom are running for the state legislature. But, wait!  Hatteras Island needs friends in Raleigh, so why would Nolan want to alienate Tine or White?

Back to the Romney/Ryan issue. Nolan wants to hang Romney in effigy because he (she says) gave a political appointment, when he was governor of Massacheutts, to a man named Douglas Foy, whose distinguished career touched, among a zillion other things, upon the fact that ORV's were banned on some federal beach in Massacheutts. This, according to Nolan, makes Romney "no friend of Hatteras Island".

Perhaps, someday, Nolan and the Island Free Press will tell the residents of Hatteras Island about all the wonderful things that the Barack Obama administration has done for the folks that live south of the Bonner Bridge.  Until then, EOD will continue to drop in on the Island Free Press, hoping that one day it will inform its readers that Hatteras Island is not really the " Heartbeat of Dare County, or the USA.
