Oct. 22, 2002 – Innovative Telephone's temporary employees worked through the morning Tuesday to repair yet more damage inflicted on St. Croix telephone lines, this time late Monday night in the Negro Bay area near the Randall "Doc" James Racetrack.
On St. John at least a half dozen customers in the Coral Bay area said they were experiencing phone trouble on Tuesday, but Innovative Telephone spokesman Thomas Dunn said no acts of vandalism were reported there.
Dunn said Tuesday afternoon that the St. Croix damages had been repaired.
More than 8,000 telephone customers have been without service at some point since 310 Innovative Telephone and Innovative Cable employees went on strike three weeks ago.
While police and the FBI are investigating the sabotage, the vandals have left few clues as to their identity, St. Croix Deputy Police Chief Angel Santos said Monday. Santos asked that anyone with information about the matter contact police.

UVI TO HOST NASA AWARENESS DAYS
Oct. 22, 2002 – The University of the Virgin Islands will celebrate its partnership with the National Aeronautics & Space Administration and bring awareness of space administration to the community through the NASA Awareness Days, to be held Nov. 17 to 20 on both campuses.
The United Negro College Fund Special Programs is administering the three days of exhibits, panel discussions, workshops and speeches by NASA astronauts. NASA exhibits from the Ames Research Center, Kennedy Space Flight Center, Glenn Research Center, Goddard Space Flight Center, and the Langley Research Center will be displayed, as will UVI student research posters and science fair projects.
"NASA Awareness Days will be an excellent opportunity for local educators, students and professionals to receive updated information on space education, technology and research methodology," Dr. Rosenid Hernandez-Badia, program coordinator and UVI science professor, said. "Students will learn that there are no limits to their career choices, that they have opportunities to accomplish their goals with hard work."
A highlight of the NASA Awareness Days will be the grand opening of the NASA Educator Resource Center at the Etelman House, home to UVI’s space observatory on St. Thomas, from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 19. UVI President Dr. LaVerne Ragster will sign a memorandum of agreement with NASA for its support of the Educator Resource Center.
NASA has awarded grants to UVI’s Science and Math Division for many years, with the most recent being a $150,000 grant to support the Saturday and Summer Science Academies held on both campuses.
NASA Awareness Days are common at institutions around the world where NASA supports programs. It is the first time that NASA Awareness Days are being held in the Virgin Islands.
Other highlights of NASA Awareness Days include:

PROCUREMENT CONFERENCE SET FOR DEC. 3-6
Oct. 22, 2002 – Delegate Donna M. Christensen will host the territory's second annual Women- and Minority-Owned Small Business Procurement Conference, on Dec. 3-6 at the Divi Carina Bay Resort.
The conference has two objectives, Christensen said in a release: First, it provides a forum for informing small businesses owned by minorities and women nationwide about federal contracting opportunities. Second, it gives these small businesses an opportunity to explore expansion of their operations to the Virgin Islands.
"Two businesses that attended the conference last year have since begun to explore the possibility of opening offices in the Virgin Islands," Christensen said, calling the annual conference "part of my economic development plan" for the territory.
Christensen, a member of the House Committee of Small Business, said the first conference, held on St. Thomas, "was a huge success, and we want to build on it this year." The December event will include strategy sessions on business development, financing, and federal government and international opportunities.
The conference is being coordinated by Resource Network International, described by Christensen as "a successful 8(2)/HUBZone certified minority and woman-owned small business that has vast experience in coordinating this type of event." The V.I. Women's Business Center is working with RNI in putting the even together.
For more information on the conference, visit the Resource Network Web site, or call (800) 723-5922 and ask for Ms. Castillo Ford.
