For more, visit www.perquimansarts.org Delays expected at fisheries offices From Staff Reports The state’s marine fish eries division is reminding fishermen that license of fices in Elizabeth City and Washington may experience unplanned, short-term clo sures due to a temporary shortage of personnel. The two offices will additionally close daily for lunch until further notice. A license position is cur rently vacant in each of the offices, leaving no backup for lunch or other unavoid ¬ FISHING Continued from 1 sanctioned by it. Leicester said some of the teams that compete don’t represent a specific school, but Bed dingfield High School in Wil son does have a team. Leicester, a teacher at PCHS, wanted to field a team to give students an opportunity to participate in a group activity. He said with one exception, none of the students on his team are involved in any other extracurricular activity, like sports. The interest was appar ently there. Leicester said there might be 15 or 16 two- person teams at any given tournament and four of those teams hail from Per quimans. The team consists of three rising 10th graders, Colton Meads, Luke Fuller and Kevin Spivey; two ris ing 11th graders, Austin Overton and Nick Foley and three rising seniors Da’Wan Skinner, Valousky and Es tep. “They have done amaz ing in such a short period of time,” said Teresa Beard sley, the spokeswoman for the school system. Beardsley said from a school district standpoint, the fishing team is consid ered the same as a club. “Like any other club, they do their own fundraising and able emergencies. Lunch typically runs from noon to 1 p.m., but the vacancies could potentially cause unexpect ed office closures at other times should the remaining staff call in sick or need to be off for other reasons. Those who wish to visit one of these license offices should call ahead to en sure the office is open. The numbers for the Elizabeth City office are 264-3911 or 800-338-7805; the numbers for the Washington office are 252-946-648lor 800-338- get their own volunteers.” Making it all possible are the adults who serve as boat captains. They provide the boats that students fish from and pay their own way to and from the tournaments. Helping out this year have been Bill Newbern, Chad Chappell, Wesley Forbes, Jamie Lacombe, Tommy Houlroyd and Calvin Wil liams. “I couldn’t be more proud of all of the teams,” Leices ter said. “They represented themselves, their sponsors, and Perquimans County with great dignity and re spect. These kids have been tremendous and blessed me with a ton of great memo ries.” Some of the tournaments are as far away as Charlotte, and that makes for a long day for students and volun teers. “It’s hard for them,” Leicester said. “I’d love to have one here locally. We have enough water out there we could create our own tournament trail right here with the right sponsor ing.” “I’d love to see it spur other schools from the area to do this,” Leicester said. “We’d love to see Edenton and Pasquotank do it,” Anyone interesting in pur chasing a t-shirt to support the team can contact Leices ter via the team’s Facebook page (pchsfishing) or by calling him at 252-340-2211. 7804.
