Guest Column: A Family’s Remarkable Record of Coast Guard Service

When I think of my family’s more than 400 combined years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) and its predecessor, the U.S. Life-Saving Service (USLSS), I think first of the people behind that number. I think of my great-grandfather, Joseph Hall Berry, serving at Pea Island, and of my father and his twin brother, who enlisted at age 16. Their stories give a human face to a remarkable record of service.

Council tables costly firefighter schedule change

A growing trend among regional fire departments to shorten firefighters’ workweeks by restructuring shifts has Elizabeth City Fire Chief Chris Carver concerned. Fire departments in Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Greenville and other area cities have moved to a 24/72 schedule, or 24 hours on duty followed by 72 hours off, according to Carver. The change would reduce the average firefighter’s workweek from 56 hours to 42 by moving from three shifts to four. If Elizabeth City doesn’t adopt a similar schedule, Carver worries a department already struggling with recruitment and retention could lose more firefighters over time. Making the switch, however, would take several years and cost the city more than $1 million. Several Elizabeth City Council members said that money may not be available, given the city is also considering a new $12 million fire station. Carver pitched the plan to the council during an Oct. 26 work session. He acknowledged it was a “big ask” but said a number of firefighters had asked him to bring it to the city for preliminary consideration. “My guys asked me to bring this to your attention,” he said. “Their concern, along with mine, is recruitment and retention. It’s already hard out there
