SI Mentioned on Deal or No Deal

Apparently a contestent mentioned the dump on Deal or No Deal. I did not see the show, but the woman was from Bayonne and she stated "least we don't have a dump like Staten Island."

The forum at SILIVE.com is taking many comments on this. It just never ends with the Staten Island Dump jokes.

I WANT A YOUTUBE CLIP IF ANYONE KNOWS WHERE I CAN FIND ONE.

Calling all Bloggers!

We are looking for Island bloggers. The task is simple, we need write ups about your neighborhood. One initial post that gives the readers a real feel for the area, and then updates a few times a year is all we are asking. No daily work needed.

If you are interested, please contact us at savestatenisland@yahoo.com

We launched STATEN ISLAND 2008 yesterday. Today the Advance ran a story on the project on the front page. Next week, I will be speaking at the Community Board 1 meeting on the 8th.

We have high hopes for this project. We need a huge response to make it work though and we need a lot of people behind us to get it all accomplished.

Hopefully we will get enough in the first few months to show it is capable of holding it's own.

In addition to the yearbook, we have a list of ideas that will be taking off each month in 2008. It is going to be a big year. Little by little we hope to engage the entire Island in Staten Island 2008!
