women on the job because most jobs is on the water and the dial is in again both ways there are many and you know they crap on they craves great. says so restaurants you can find a job a waitress and babysit for monsoon work. maybe storekeeper you know at the grocery store or at the ice cream places. some volunteer work at the museum but basically that's all the work related on the air. some people like to live by himself but that this is normal competitive that you have to get on with your parents you also fair with a room and. living by yourself can sometimes not be good it's become
9:36 am
and i say we don't want that to have a good time we want to have a good experience here first apartment this is very real you made it live there was a little solar. our island has limited occupations on it so therefore a lot of these children have interests with things that are not available on the island and therefore when they go off and get their college or training they will have to go to other areas to get into. a few of them may end up back on the island because of having a health center here or school here but other than that they are not going to be finding a job on the island they may come back and retire but they're not going to be working here when they're right out of college or trading. for
9:37 am
a. set of what they say and yet i don't blame them i can't that's what i think she writes here you can see. and see. but. there is no longer. there. and
9:38 am
all of you. just. i sailed into tangier on a fifty foot sailboat and david came alongside and it was very friendly and we invited him to supper and he came back with this good. night the belly of the boat and i was so overwhelmed his voice his beauty his charm. and i fell in love and when he left that night i said to the guys i was sailing with. there goes the man i'm going to marry. now. now.
9:39 am
for a piece of glass. for much time so. follow this trail. that's a pretty one. but it's sharp or all wood just that's a kind of went down in between two pieces of wood and then they they wrote it tight . and use it for spears. and for bone marrow. but when there's a lot of history and the arrowheads. we're not sure when we were settled but we were discovered sixteen away and we had our four hundred anniversary in two
9:40 am
thousand and eight and that was a big day on the island so that was really special but indians were here thousands of years before we all were. i don't find places like that very often. they just don't exist anymore you don't have these pristine beaches where you can just go in. and watch and learn from from what you see. it would be a real shame for this island to disappear there's a way of life here that's unique to. this country the the
9:41 am
crabbers the oystermen and so forth it's a very hard life and yet we get to enjoy the fruits of their labor but it's also special to me because there aren't very many places left where you can see the diversity of wildlife where the wildlife has a place to stop burbs come through here from south america heading up the bay heading towards their nesting grounds and a lot of them stop over here it's important for the survival of various species and we're losing more and more of this type of habitat part of it is sea level rise part of it is just the natural changes to it storms and so forth that just happens . but it would be a shame to see this totally wiped out. every time there's a hurricane of this place is always at risk it slides they try to evacuate people
9:42 am
lots of times people won't go because they want to stay with their houses but the bottom line is that creates problems coastguard and whatever has to worry about the island of the people who are living here and they would rather them leave the island shrinking every year it costs the government money they've got to worry about the people being here so they feel that really the people should leave and little the mainland. doesn't. believe. it was a terrible day and was very hard to take up. once again so long here is a plan why haven't you ever had sex with her rick perry nobody's. going to want.

a little blue. for they go. if the day is especially things involving children tend to drawl people lie. such a close knit community you high of you know it's a rare thing to have a family. as a mother and father and mandate have both sets of grandparents of sometimes great grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins and you know living right in the same community so my child may be taking part in doing something here a disadvantage day but my mother and father will come my wife's mother and father will come my wife scran father may come my wife's sister who is much eldon's so. the summer. is. panama and she's been hanging around for a couple years now goes down to for the winter fun in summer golf in fact here.

9:51 am
serious course for concern where young people link the island because we're aware of it. what's going to happen in the population so it's come on the side because we know that if we don't have people staying here then the way of light is to somehow dissipate and. so you believe we have a part of it that is more protected that is so what have you done to make sure that our her it is protected in the future or what have you done to ensure that we will
9:52 am
get us to the wall right each of you have written letters that's right you have written to our president your fridge to our governor you've written to our state and local and national officials as well and that of course is one of the greatest forms of patriotism not only is patriotism love for your nation or love for your state but patriotism is also for your small island tangier. the seawall that we're looking to get in the future in the next few years is going to be just across from this one this is the west entrance and your arbor. but it's such a great set such a wall at opening when we get storms and wind from the west from northwest swells ways roll right into the harbor so we're actually trying to. make it a smaller opening here so it'll protect. right and using boats and dollars as
9:53 am
you're coming in to the harbor here you can see over to your way out. off all the six that are crap shanties that stores have destroyed because there's no protection here. this is a graveyard. this is. my mom and dad over here as my brother in law are all. playing crocket fran plus cows and. horses boat and major murray. and they always want a crab. but. when i ask. some opposition i want to be a barrier she said yeah. we're away from the end but i tolerate she better bar i'm in a. lot of if i'm in a safe i told her i'm a twist entirely and i want a horror every other night. so we're we're at the place that used to be
9:54 am
used to be up for the small community was actually it was another community called a cs i hear in this direction which it's completely out in the water now. purges over here and yes now for more of the small mobile home is there was a lot to please out here and several homes in a small schoolhouse and. it was a thraldom community of one telling. right here or somebody had stones from the graves it were here and one of the graveyard you can sit in here. this is a true it's. one of the scenes from cain's year. and there were numerous graves here and there was also another brick. yard which went into water
9:55 am
a couple years ago. so when they were burying these folks they were well inland and on very all the ground and now there are odd interwar. that's that's what we don't want happen to change your all and we want to get some protection and make sure that we don't go into the chesapeake bay like uppers did in other communities. watch and. let. us. say.
