Halloween has been POSTPONED until Friday November 2nd. 

The Ferry is attempting to run a normal schedule tomorrow, however the last boat may be cancelled due to water and debris conditions in the area.

The Electric Co. is attempting to energize a small area in the vicinity of Walsh Park and the Grocery Store.  Additional crews will be arriving on island tomorrow to assist in power restoration, they will attempt to have most of the island restored by the weekend but dont expect full restoration until after the weekend. Please do not call the utility office checking the status. 

We are asking people to stay away from downed trees and wires, there is still extensive damage.  Please keep your children off the roadways until everything has been cleared. 

We are asking people to avoid unnecessary travel to the island, so we can avoid people getting in the way of clean up and utility crews. 

We will have an update around noon tomorrow in terms of power restoration, clean up and ferries. 

Thank you for your patience.
