Source: The Times Leader, Wilkes-Barre, Pa.文件倉Oct. 02--POCONO MANOR -- The Pocono Mountains is becoming a water park haven, but it has a long way to go to match Wisconsin Dells, Wis. and its 18 such attractions.Pocono Mountains Visitors Bureau Executive Director Carl Wilgus said he believes there's room for all of the venues in Northeastern Pennsylvania, and he is excited about another major development for the region.Once complete, Kalahari, which broke ground on its third water park/resort that's slated to open in Monroe County in the early summer of 2015, will join other area indoor water parks including those at Great Wolf Lodge in Scotrun and H20ooohh! at Split Rock Resort in Kidder Township. Camelbeach in Tannersville and the water park on Montage Mountain in Moosic offer outdoor water parks.So too will Blue Mountain Ski Area and Resort in Palmerton, which is building a $30 million Summit Splash water park with a 2015 opening date, too. There are also discussions about at least one more indoor water park on the drawing board for the Tannersville area."There's plenty of room for everybody," he added with a smile.Wilgus said the region was once known as a honeymoon destination."After the honeymoon phase, what comes next?" Wilgus said. "The family and that's what these resorts attract."He said he believes that the water parks can coexist and thrive thanks to the large populatio存倉 within a day's drive from the Poconos. It's something that was also noted by the resort's founder and CEO Todd Nelson."We never become the destination, we become part of an existing destination," Nelson said. "I couldn't think of any place I'd rather be than right here right now."He said locating a water park requires certain demographics already in place and the Poconos meets them."We need a minimum of 20 million within a four-hour drive, the Poconos has roughly 44 million people," Nelson said. And having the other water parks already here shows the market is a good one.Great Wolf Lodge, it should be noted, also has resorts in Kalahari's two other markets in Sandusky, Ohio, and Wisconsin Dells, Wis.Gov. Tom Corbett said the addition of Kalahari Resort continues to build on the Pocono Mountains' legacy as it shifts from a honeymoon attraction to a four-seasons, family-friendly tourism destination."Kalahari's selection of the Poconos for its first East Coast location is a testament to the area's draw as one of the premiere vacation destinations in the country," Corbett said. "We are thrilled to have Kalahari Resorts become the latest addition to Pennsylvania's already impressive list of tourism attractions."Copyright: ___ (c)2013 The Times Leader (Wilkes-Barre, Pa.)

歐洲央行昨日如期維持利率不變，迷你倉亦如期未落實任何注資計劃。歐央行行長德拉吉重申，若有需要該行將會長時間維持貨幣寬鬆政策，亦準備考慮使用所有可行工具，應付貨幣市場變化。隨�歐元區經濟擺脫衰退，歐洲央行周三議息後，決定維持利率於歷史低位不變，再融資利率第5個月處於0.5厘，存款利率維持零厘不變。議息結果符合市場預期。分析料今年底注資歐洲央行一如市場預期，維持再融資利率及存款利率分別於0.5厘和零厘不變。歐洲央行多月以來一直維持低利率政策，目的為推動歐元區經濟復甦。行長德拉吉議息後於記者會上說，未來一段長時間，將會維持現時的利率或更低水平，歐洲央行政策將繼續保持寬鬆，近期數據顯示逐漸由低水平好轉。德拉吉又稱，歐洲央行準備在有需要時運用所有可行工具，應對貨幣市場變化。他上月曾經提到，已準備一切，隨時可在有需要時向銀行體系注入資金，這引起市場揣測可能有新一輪長期再融資操作（LTRO）行動。瑞士信貸等大行經濟分析員預測，今年底或明年，歐洲央行或會向銀行體系注入更多資金。分析估計，歐元區經濟活動繼續復甦，不過歐洲央行相信下調風險仍然存在，所以德拉吉可能透過再融資操作，盡量向市場注入更多資金。自從文件倉次9月會議，歐洲委員會的歐元區經濟信心錄得第5個月上升，工廠產出第3個月攀升。歐洲面對信貸崩潰時，歐洲央行分別於2011年底及2012年，發行超逾1萬億歐元3年期貸款，自始歐元區金融體系過剩流動資金接近2000億歐元水平。不過，歐洲央行及歐洲委員會周一表示，西班牙經濟疲弱及借貸活動縮減，對該國銀行業造成風險。與此同時，意大利政局出現不穩，引起市場關注歐洲央行可能有新一輪長期再融資操作。分析指出，歐洲央行一般不會公開介入類似意大利的政局危機，新的長期再融資操作目的是向銀行體系注入資金，紓緩銀行的融資情況，為2014年歐洲央行資產質素檢討作準備。歐銀行業狀況勝美歐洲央行公布議息結果前，英國《金融時報》周三引述歐洲央行副行長康斯坦西奧稱，歐洲的銀行業狀況不是市場普遍認為般壞。康斯坦西奧表示，歐洲銀行業情況較市場預計為佳，以歐洲大型銀行與美國同業相比，就會發現歐洲銀行業普通股權一級資本的中位數水平，略為高出美國銀行業的水平。歐洲央行預期在一年內監管歐洲的銀行業，2015年一個銀行解決機制將跟隨出台。在此之前，歐元區17成員國央行將進行資產質素檢討及壓力測試，確保銀行業以良好狀況納入監管之內。存倉

昨日是國慶假期第二天，儲存受高速公路國慶長假小型車免費通行政策的影響，湧入深圳的自駕遊客井噴，以珠三角自駕遊客居多，各景區迎來首個客流高峰。留守的市民又是如何過節的？南都記者走訪發現，不少假日期間免費的體育場館爆棚，有游泳池門前需要排長隊，甚至限制客流。而市政公園更是不少市民避峰出游的首選，不用花錢，人少，舒適，正好享受假日的悠閑。國慶第二天，深圳各大景區迎來了首個人流高峰。南都記者從世界之窗、歡樂穀等景區瞭解到，比起國慶第一天的“冷場”，昨天各景區人流量均大幅提升。景區方便表示，受高速公路國慶長假小型車免費通行政策的影響，自駕游井噴，以珠三角自駕遊客居多，也不乏從桂湘鄂浙等地開來的自駕車。遊客人數增幅最高四成據悉，截至昨天晚上6時，世界之窗接待遊客5 .6萬人次，較國慶當天增長27%；歡樂穀接待遊客4 .2萬人次，較國慶當天增長40%；東部華僑城接待遊客4萬多人次，與國慶當天持平；深圳動物園接待遊客2 .5萬人次，較國慶當天增長25%；小梅沙海洋世界接待遊客2 .1萬人次、較國慶當天增長40%。此外，各景點的人流量與去年長假第二天人流量基本持平。“世界之窗在十一迎來開門紅後，遊客量保持增長趨勢。據統計，當天景區接待中外遊客5 .6萬人次，與去年同比增長15%。”世界之窗相關負責人表示，由於是國慶第二天，遊客的旅遊需求得到釋放，加上昨天天氣較好，最終導致昨天各景點達到今年國慶假期的第一個人流高峰。據悉，不少景點負責人表示，按往年慣例，長假第二天到第五天，景點人流量均將處於高位。各景點提醒遊客，可錯峰出行，一般入園高峰出現在上午11點至下午2點。提供服務保障遊玩快樂隨著人流量的到來，各大景點也做好了應急準備，確保遊客玩得開心。“世界之窗增設12個購票通道，在購票區域和動感參與項目排隊區域增加人手引導遊客按次序排隊，開設了網絡門票預訂、酒店等服務。同時，景區安放300多個垃圾桶供遊客使用，近100名保潔員分片包幹，第一時間現場清理垃圾。”世界之窗負責人表示。據悉，世界之窗景區在�動備用停車場的同時，加強了對停車場的管理和對車輛的疏導。為迎接國慶黃金周的旅遊高峰，世界之窗還調整了景區開園時間，即提前至8︰30，閉園時間推遲至23時。此外，南都記者從東部華僑城瞭解到，東部華僑城大俠穀售票處上午11點還聚集著很多前來購票的遊客，全園覆蓋的W iFi讓遊客在等待過程中也能享用無線網絡。體育場館市民排隊入場 泳池限制客流全市30家體育場館免費開放，不少場館爆棚十一黃金周期間，除了四處遊玩，你可曾想過鍛煉身體？今年，市文體旅遊局繼續推動市民參與體育活動，全市有3 0家體育場館免費開放。南都記者走訪發現，不少場館都出現了爆棚的情況，有游泳池門前需要排長隊，不過也有場館收費比平時更高。游泳池冷熱兩重天昨日下午3時，在福田體育公園游泳館外，透過玻璃窗，游泳池里的人早已密密麻麻，此外，岸上還有一些遊客在休息。在場館入口處，早已排起了長隊，目測約有50人。工作人員介紹，按照規定，人工游泳池內人均游泳面積不得小于2.5平方米，所以泳池內只能容納420人，“當前的人數已滿，只能限制客流，出來一個進去一個。”到下午4時，南都記者注意到，游泳館入口處排隊的市民只見增加不見減少，隊伍約有100人，不少市民仍然陸續到達，不少人都是一家幾口齊齊出動，大人帶著孩子在隊伍當中等候。工作人員也豎立欄杆方便市民排隊，現場人數雖然比較多，但是仍然很有秩序。工作人員介紹，昨日下午2時泳池一開放，很快就滿員了，相比之下，上午的市民會少一點，建議遊客可以避開高峰期，早上前往游泳。同樣是游泳館，昨日下午，在深圳灣體育中心，這裡並沒有出現人員爆棚的情況，相反顯得頗為安逸，除了三三兩兩的參觀者之外，難見節日氣息。在游泳館中，南都記者注意到，淺水區人員稍多，深水區人數則很少，self storage口處也沒有人排隊。乒羽場館多被訂滿昨日下午，在深圳灣體育中心羽毛球館，並無大量人群圍坐等場。據瞭解，深圳灣體育中心于國慶長假前3天對市民免費開放，包括籃球場和羽毛球場。工作人員介紹，截至昨日下午，3天的免費場地已經全部被預訂了。在福田體育公園，南都記者注意到，羽毛球場地和乒乓球場地都是滿滿當當，19片羽毛球場地和6片乒乓球場地上全部有人在活動。不時有市民來到櫃台詢問是否能夠訂場，工作人員告知，當天和第二天的免費場地已經全部被訂滿。在足球場，雖然下午陽光很刺眼，戶外的溫度是一天最熱的時段，但兩片場地上都有人在踢球。潘先生介紹，平日里足球場很難預訂，只能跑到很遠的地方踢球，雖然下午天氣比較熱，但國慶假期能夠對市民免費開放是一個好事情，可以方便市民鍛煉身體。福田體育公園免費開放時間持續到10月7日。據工作人員介紹，每天早上9時可以電話開始預訂第二天的場地，市民可以在早上9時之後進行預訂，一般到上午10時就會預訂完畢，如果晚了就很難訂到場地。有場地比平時反而更貴昨日下午，南都記者來到光明新區體育中心、光明新區群�體育中心兩家場館走訪發現，部分在國慶長假期間免費開放的場地其實在平時一直都是免費開放的，而部分平時免費開放的場地卻開始收費。光明新區體育中心位於公明辦事處振明路，其在國慶長假期間免費開放的項目包括田徑場和門球場，不過南都記者瞭解到，這兩個場地平時一直就是免費開放。位於光明辦事處觀光路的光明新區群�體育中心共有14片網球場。國慶長假期間，這裡每天下午3時至晚上10時優惠開放，持有光明新區公安機關頒發的居民身份證或居住證的市民可享受場租原價8.8折優惠。不過，據網球場服務中心工作人員稱，工作日上午8時至15時免費開放，15時至18時為每小時40元，18時至23時則為每小時60元。昨日適逢法定假日，全天取消了免費時段，8時至18時每小時60元，18時至23收費標準則高達每小時80元。只有辦理會員卡才能獲得5-8.8折優惠。市民意見：場館免費 宣傳還不夠對於體育場館在國慶假期免費開放，市民多數持讚成意見。不過，昨日下午陳先生抱著兒子在福田體育公園游泳池入口處排隊，據他介紹，自己並不知道泳池免費，本來就打算過來付款游泳的，沒想到遇上了免費，反而要排隊，無形中增加了等待的時間。此外，市民胡先生也反映，此前他並不知道泳池在國慶長假期間免費對市民開放，不知道場館方面通過什麼渠道來公佈這一消息，他建議今後可以加大這些惠民信息的發佈，“如果早知道是免費開放，自己可能很早就會過來排隊。”市政公園市民避峰出游 大贊安靜免費國慶每個旅遊景點都是下餃子，好容易有了個長假，窩在家里又不甘心，出去旅遊吧，又不想當“餃子”，不少家庭陷入了兩難。昨日南都記者在深圳灣公園發現，不少市民逆向思維，選擇了身邊最熟悉的公園，人少，安逸，一家人拉開餐布來個野餐，很快樂。南都記者昨日在深圳灣公園發現，遊客數量與一般周末無異。與媒體廣泛報道的各個景區相比，深圳灣公園遠遠談不上擁擠，而應該用休閒、愜意來形容。來自湖北的王先生在深圳灣體育館參觀，他表示，一點也不擁擠，反倒是欣賞一座城市的好地方。遊客和市民交流，在體育館內的展覽前駐足，偌大的體育館，三三兩兩的行人，不時奔跑的孩子，“這才是假日出游嘛”，王先生感嘆道。陸先生家在外地，不過在深圳工作，他沒有選擇出游，原因一是旅遊耗錢，景點門票貴，另一個原因則是擁擠，他和妻子選擇了到海邊走走坐坐，聊聊天。“這裡不需要門票，一點也不擠”，陸先生對自己的安排很滿意。國慶並非所有去處都人滿為患，有地方爆棚，自然就有地方人少。昨日有不少市民向記者表達了類似觀點，展現起了逆向思維，稱大量市民去外地旅遊或者回老家與家人團聚，反而使得城市裡的公園、公共場所顯得安靜。統籌：南都記者 劉穎採寫：南都記者 汪小漢 韓志強 劉穎 見習記者徐龍晨迷利倉

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.mini storageM.Oct. 02--Day One of the first federal government shutdown in nearly two decades made its mark on New Mexico on Tuesday with workers furloughed, national parks roped off and concerns deepening about the state's oil and gas industry.At Bandelier National Monument near Los Alamos, Giuseppe Arena and Monica Limon were saddened to find the monument's famous cave dwellings closed to the public.The two had come from Switzerland and Poland, respectively, to tour the western United States and had chosen Bandelier as one of their must-see stops on the trip."What can we do?" Limon asked. "We could go to Las Vegas (Nev.) and play. At least that will be open."At Kirtland Air Force Base in Albuquerque, 1,074 civilian employees were placed on furlough Tuesday, base spokesman John Cochran said. A total of 997 Kirtland workers were exempted from the order.At Holloman Air Force Base near Alamogordo, 422 civilian employees were furloughed, said 1st Lt. Stephanie L. Schonberger, the chief of public affairs at Holloman.Also due to the shutdown, Holloman's F-22 Raptor fighters and T-38 Talon jet trainers had stopped flying operations.About 20,000 workers at Sandia and Los Alamos national laboratories, the state's two largest federally funded employers, were instructed to report to work Tuesday despite the federal government shutdown.Independent contractors run the labs for the government, and in both cases they have carryover funding left from previous years' budgets to keep working for at least a short period of time, management of both labs said last week in memos distributed to their staffs.New Mexico has historically had a high rate of government employees, and roughly 24 percent of the state's nonagricultural workers were employed in 2012 by federal, state or local governments, according to the University of New Mexico Bureau of Business and Economic Research.Meanwhile, Albuquerque ranks 17th nationwide for its percentage of workers on the federal and military payroll, according to The Washington Post. Its roughly 21,000 federal workers make up about 5.6 percent of the city's total workforce.It was unclear how many of those 21,000 workers were furloughed Tuesday due to the partial government shutdown.Oil and gas industryMeanwhile, oil and gas outfits were keeping an eye on the partial shutdown after the federal Bureau of Land Management temporarily halted its processing of drilling permit applications.A lengthy delay in the permitting process could lead to a slowdown of the state's oil and gas industry, particularly in southeastern New Mexico, said Wally Drangmeister of the New Mexico Oil and Gas Association.If the shutdown is not resolved quickly, the BLM permitting freeze could impact New Mexico more than some of its neighboring states, due to large amount of federally owned land, he said. Roughly 35 percent of New Mexico's total acreage is owned the federal government, according to the Congressional Research Service."The last thing we want to have happen is for there to be enough of a delay that rigs from the New Mexico side of the Permian Basin move to the Texas side," Drangmeister said.Were such a shift to occur, the state's coffers could suffer. Taxes and royalties generated by oil and gas drilling make up a sizable chunk of the state's revenues -- an estimated 17 percent in the current fiscal year.Mixed impactsIn Albuquerque, FBI agents and personnel seemed nonchalant about the partial government shutdown, showing up for work as usual Tuesday while knowing that they will not receive paychecks until the federal budget fight is resolved."This is not the kind of job that you can s迷你倉ay home and take off from," said Frank Fisher, FBI media coordinator.The FBI employs about 200 people in New Mexico at its headquarters in Albuquerque and its five satellite offices throughout New Mexico.While post offices, border checkpoints and federal law enforcement agencies continued to work, the impact was felt immediately Tuesday in other areas.At the Office of the Special Trustee for American Indians in Albuquerque, a few white vehicles with U.S. government plates were parked outside in a nearly empty parking lot. Janel Manuelito, a private security guard, said that normally about 500 people work in the building that houses other government employees as well, but only about 30 "essential" workers were there Tuesday."It's really funny -- it's so quiet today," Manuelito said. "All these buildings around here have government offices, but they're all closed."A few blocks down the street in Albuquerque, the U.S. Department of Agriculture building had signs posted advising visitors that the offices were closed and would reopen "once Congress restores funding."A woman leaving the building with a small suitcase said angrily, "Oh, we're furloughed, all right."Outside the Social Security Administration on Cutler Avenue in Albuquerque, a young man with an expired driver's license from Illinois was trying to get a federal form printed with his Social Security number so he could get a New Mexico license. Chris Faison said he had lost his Social Security card and was at the office on Monday, but was given only one page of the two-page document he needs for the New Mexico Motor Vehicle Division."They dropped the ball," he said. "I'm trying to do the right thing, so I can drive around legit. But they won't even let me in the building."Bandelier bluesAs at New Mexico's 10 other national parks and monuments, most of Bandelier's workers had been furloughed, said spokeswoman Chris Judson, who was off-duty but responded to a Journal telephone call."The law enforcement guys are on duty throughout the shutdown," she said. They are patrolling parking lots and other points of entry to the monument and its trails, she added.At the Forest Service's Black Canyon Campground on the road leading up to Santa Fe's ski area, about a half-dozen campers were preparing to vacate the premises.Ian Bellinger of Albuquerque went to Black Canyon Campground with his girlfriend, intending to stay one night.Because facilities were open and they'd be gone by today, their camping trip wasn't affected by the shutdown.But Bellinger was frustrated."The government is ridiculous," he said. "Someone needs to figure something out."Off-duty Bandelier spokeswoman Judson said the monument's law enforcement staff of four normally would be patrolling the park at this time of year for hunters anyway, and are broadening their efforts to check for other unauthorized people crossing its borders.Two maintenance people will work a couple hours a day to make sure the pipes and buildings are all right, she said, as well as a person in the ecology section who needs to take an air quality reading once a week.At the nearby White Rock Visitor Center is a guest book where people can sign in and comment about their experience."Last chance to see Bandelier. Thanks U.S. Gov't!" wrote someone who signed their name as "We the People."Journal staff writers Jackie Jadrnakin Santa Fe, Charles Brunt, JolineGutierrez Krueger, Mike Bush andPatrick Lohman in Albuquerquecontributed to this report.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 Albuquerque Journal (Albuquerque, N.M.)

統一超旗下7-ELEVEN超商與鴻海（2317）昨（1）日宣布，迷你倉合作推出OPEN小將7吋平板電腦和50吋大電視，並預告還有五至十款3C新品年底前陸續推出，包含智慧型手機和80吋電視都在計劃中。市場估計，「OPEN小將」國民機系列今年將為7-ELEVEN超商帶進5億至6億元營收。統一超與鴻海乘勝追擊，OPEN小將50吋電視以19,999元挑戰市場同規格產品最低價，推出黑、白雙色，其中白色限量2,000台，黑色持續供貨，希望年底前再創1.5萬台的業績。值得注意的是，過去鴻海與7-ELEVEN合作的60吋電視，因為是特殊規格產品，由於日商價格高貴，價格下降空間大，鴻海採取破盤價切入電視市場；但在50吋電視和7吋平板電腦市場市場競爭激烈，價格再下殺空間有限，因此未再祭出超低價搶市。昨日發表會7-ELEVEN展現與鴻海合作的樂觀氣氛，簡報上形容統一超與文件倉海首次合作大尺寸平面電視「以為只是天雷勾動地火的一見鍾情」，沒想到三個月創下1.5萬台銷量，因此「統一超與鴻海天長地久的人生於是展開」。首款合作的OPEN小將7吋平板電腦採和影音分享棒初期不單獨販售，採組合型式銷售，價格為6,990元，透過影音分享棒可將平板畫面同步到電視螢幕，是目前國內同規格中最低價平板組合。統一超網路購物事業部部長劉鴻徵表示，商務簡報、家庭視訊娛樂需要透過平板分享到電視或電腦螢幕，透過影音分享棒即可快速實現，過去雖有類似產品但卻未能普及，主要是消費者不知該如何應用，藉著搭售將有助擴大影音分享棒未來獨立銷售的可能性。目前市面上有宏�Iconia A1-810 和華碩的MeMO Pad HD7 售價都是5,990元，OPEN小將平板並未再創新低價，不過其隨機配備魔法影音分享棒，可將平板的畫面上傳到電視上播放，新功能成為最大賣點。存倉

【本報訊】綜合共同社、中央社10月1日消息：日本明年4月將提高消費稅率，儲存倉有旅遊業者表示，因外國人在日本購買奢侈品都有退稅，消費稅率提高，對民眾赴日旅遊影響不大。外國遊客在日本辦理離境手續前，在免稅店購買電器、相機、箱包、工藝品、動漫及周邊產品等，只需填寫姓名、護照號、入境地等信息即可免繳消費稅。但食品等消耗品因無法判斷是在日本國內使用還是作為旅遊紀念品帶回國，目前一律徵收消費稅。在歐洲，很多國家對外國遊客購買的全部商品一律實施免稅政策。現在，日本政府轉換思維將「外國遊客購買的土特產商品」作為出口商品，參考海外制度簡化免稅手續，加快推進免稅制度實施。日本觀光迷你倉最平上月基本確定了將在2014年度稅制改革中要求改進的方針，計劃把食品、化妝品等納入外國遊客在免稅店購買旅遊紀念品時免徵消費稅的對象，同時簡化免稅申請手續。此舉意在吸引赴日購物遊客，同時也希望防止消費稅稅率上調造成負面影響。具體來說，新的免稅政策以外國遊客在日購物總額超過1萬日圓（約790港元）免除消費稅為方向。日本政府考慮以「返還方式」，在外國遊客離境時，統計其購買物品支付的消費稅，等額返還。日本政府擬在數年內實現吸引外國遊客1000萬人目標，力求在不久的將來能夠吸引2000萬名外國遊客。因此，業界人士表示，即使日本提高消費稅，對民眾赴日旅遊意願的影響應不大。儲存

Source: Star-News, Wilmington, N.儲存C.Oct. 01--Despite expectations for an influx of customers at their doorsteps, area social services agencies did not see a huge uptick in business Tuesday, the start of the open-enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare.Reta Shiver, director of the Pender County Department of Social Services, said she did see some increased foot traffic Tuesday, though it was marginal."By lunchtime we had five new people come in to apply for Medicaid," Shiver said, noting that is a little more than usual."It's going smoothly," she said.The state opted not to expand Medicaid under the Affordable Care Act to some half-million people. Still, state estimates project that roughly 70,000 new people may enroll in Medicaid because of the new law's mandate that most people have health insurance coverage by Jan. 1.The state estimates some 1.5 million North Carolinians may be shopping for health insurance in advance of requirements that most people have health insurance by the beginning of 2014 or face penalties.Lew Borman, spokesman for Blue Cross & Blue Shield of North Carolina, which is offering 26 plans on the exchange, said the company has seen a great deal of traffic Tuesday on the phone, online and at its retail sites.The company is the only one offering plans through the exchange in New Hanover, Brunswick and Pender counties; it doesn't have a local retail site."The mini storageuote volume has been a record day," Borman said. "As of noon, we were four times our normal volume. We've been cranking out a lot of quotes for people and helping them estimate subsidies."Christine McNamee, assistant director of the New Hanover County Department of Social Services, said a handful of people visited the agency Tuesday to find out if they were eligible for a tax credit or subsidy under the Affordable Care Act. A few people called as well, she said."It's been a little quieter than we thought it might be today," she said.Officials in Brunswick County did not return phone calls.To help people navigate the federal law, beginning Oct. 8, New Hanover Department of Social Services will have an outreach and enrollment specialist onsite every Tuesday. Two specialists, hired by Med North, formerly New Hanover Community Health Center, will rotate between DSS, the health department and the library downtown, said Med North CEO Anganette Young.On Tuesday, Gov. Pat McCrory released a video discussing implementation of the new law. He noted that he is opposed to Obamacare but sees it as the state's duty to be "as helpful as we can.""Navigating Obamacare is not expected to be easy," the governor said.Metro desk: 343-2389On Twitter: @StarNewsMollyCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Star-News (Wilmington, N.C.)
