4:43 pm
she moved over from the mainland, and the locals have welcomed her perspective as an outside are managing and this year is a balancing act between preserving traditions and ensuring the island doesn't fall behind. the times the initiator is an outlying slice of irish rock holding strongly against the crushing waves of the atlantic ocean. yeah, 24 year old chloe, a molly has taken on responsibility. many people her age would shy away from. she came here to be the island manager. i don't find that city isolates or i'm a new c, i'm eco, for my mental health or world to be. i'd rather be in a place where you feel connected. and i think that's what's really strong about bernard ends on islands like this. the smallest of the 3 are in islands, is famous for it. shipwreck framed by the sweeping cliffs of mo, have on the mainland of islands west to the 345 irish speaking people who lived here. there's no permanent police, no court. no,
4:44 pm
i'm do this but there is close. you don't have anyone role of you might have time for the day was you know, you go in and something happens. it's a funeral, there's a missing task. whatever it's going to be, you're going to put the envelope for your sleeves and take purse hailing from islands. mainland chloe fault for head job 3 years ago, off to fooling and love with the island during a brief internship. she'd be cold, a blow in by the islanders. not someone who's lived here for generations. hey, 1st uh so agreeable. the whole machine will lady know who which i am um you doing for the this is hawaii and i guess just fall here around at 12, but that's what i've been doing since i was 10 years old trying to improve the delay. and i got from my dad now as a lot,
4:45 pm
howard you should do because there's so many rules and regulations when it comes to the dispute is over was and land chloe. you can play a mediating role. she's not from an issue and can stay out of the islands internal politics. and she manages the islands co op, which was set up in 1971 and is owned by the families. it turns money from selling fuel and pause and reinvest back into the community. every island comedy only has one vote, each on decisions affecting the island. the job requires chloe's clarity, diplomacy, and dexterity. i want to work for the lines and make sure it's the best place for them to live and for young people to come back to the island to say chloe's understanding of mainland probably means modernization. she's been able to pressure to sort of these to help access you on national funds for an issue. we're very
