2 THE PERQUIMANS WEEKLY, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 20,2017 HURRICANE Continued from-1 asking for personal hygiene projects, non-perishable food, water, diapers/wipes and cleaning supplies. People can drop items off at any of the Perquimans County Schools through Fri day. Wallace Trucking, 164 Winfall Blvd, across from Perquimans Central School will be collecting from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Friday. On Saturday workers will be collecting at Walmart in Elizabeth City from 10 a.m. until 2p.m. Bagley Swamp Church will also be taking donations at the church, 402 Bagley Swamp Church Road, on Sunday. Tire plan is for the truck to leave on Sept. 25. De pending where the truck is going, it could take 12 or 13 hours. Spaugh is working on finding out just where the donations will be need ed most, he said. Stallings is offering a 48-foot trailer and a truck and a driver to go Florida. It could haul 24 tons, but he doesn’t think the local drive will collect that much but he hopes it does. He said his heart was touched by watching cover age of Irma. “These folks need some help,” Stallings said. “It could be us.” He also likes that school children will have a chance to help. “It’s going to teach kids you’ve got to help others,” Stallings said. Albemarle Screen Print ing is printing a banner to put on the trailer going to Florida, Stallings said. About 80 percent of Stall ings Farms Trucking’s busi ness is to haul feed-grade food to areas as far away as Michigan to Florida. The company employs about 30 people and has 20 trucks and a repair shop in Win fall. Craig Craft could get some basic supplies there quicker. Given his profession and skill as a pilot, Leslie said Craig doesn’t need a big place to land. “He can land on short fields and county airports.” When he flew out one thing he could have used more of are tarps. The ini tial call was for things like non-toxic cleaners, brooms, mops and battery-operated fans. Mickey’s Sales and Ser vice was able to help a lot, she said. That included a lot of bottles of OBX Skeeter Beater, Also helping out were Mr. and Mrs. Dwayne Proc tor, Mr. and Mis. Bryson Cooper, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Norman, Farm Bureau In surance, Mr. and Mrs. Adam Lassiter, Lassiter Farms, Mr. and Mrs. Stan Winslow of Tidewater Agronomics, Mr. and Mrs. Joey Byrum and Bryum Farms. Craig Craft said his plane makes up for a lack of ca pacity with speed and the ability to get to areas cut off by flooding. “My plane would only haul about 800 pounds of supplies. Many of the re mote airports either didn’t have fuel available, or if they did, there was no elec tricity to pump it, so our payload was reduced by the requirement to carry enough fuel for a round trip. What we could, and were in fact able to do was to have supplies in the hands of the needy very quickly. In many instances, the time from do nation to consumption was measured in hours. He said “Operation Airdrop” sprung up in re sponse to Hurricane Har vey in Texas. “Their idea is to use pri vate aircraft to move small amounts of supplies very quickly to the areas where the need was the most acute. In Texas, I think they moved something north of 250,000 pounds of sup plies in less than a week. As time marched forward and the water receded, trucks could more efficiently reach those areas and the airlift was rolled back. In Florida they hauled water, food, blankets, tarps, medicine, diapers, cleaning supplies, and medical teams to hard to reach areas. “Most of the areas we served were either islands, or isolated communities in the flooded Everglades re gion. Those areas were not accessible by truck until the end of the airlift. One thing that also affected those ar eas was that virtually all of the fuel was consumed by evacuees prior to the storm, so there was no fuel left for those remaining, or anyone trying to travel down to help after the storm.” BOSTA Continued from 1 Wednesday. The missing woman’s 1997 Lincoln Continental was found in a parking lot behind an Edenton apart ment complex a few days after she disappeared. The locked car was found in a parking space. Her keys, which she kept on a butter fly key ring, were not with the car. Eric Tilley, White’s pre decessor as Perquimans sheriff, said surveillance video from a store Bosta visited didn’t show any thing unusual. “It just shows her walking in by herself. Nobody else was with her. It shows her walking in the front door by herself just as a normal customer. She didn’t look distraught, didn’t look hke she was in any problem. Nobody forcing her to do anything,” he said. Tilley also said money that went into Bosta’s bank account on June 1, 2015 had gone untouched since her disappearance. Authorities have de scribed Bosta as a white female, 5 foot 3 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds. They said her eyes were blue and her brown hair was shoulder-length and curly with highlights. She also had a butterfly tattoo on her lower back and a small red strawberry tat too between her shoulder blades. She was last seen wearing a white T-shirt, white shorts, slip-on shoes and a pink quilted pocket- book with paisley print. Local authorities have said they believe foul play was involved in Bosta’s dis appearance, and Cooper’s office has classified her disappearance as a murder case. The reward is for in formation leading to the ar rest and conviction of the person or persons respon sible for her disappear ance, according to a news release from the governor’s office. White said Bosta’s fam ily reached out to the gov ernor’s office to offer the reward. The family was already offering a $5,000 reward for any information on Bosta’s whereabouts. White said the sheriffs office has not given up on finding Bosta, but is run ning out of options. “We’re actually trying something different to at least hope to bring closure for the family. I wish some body would tell us some thing,” he said. He declined to say what the “different” thing is. A Smithfield bounty hunter-turned-private in vestigator who’s working the case said he’s pretty sure he knows what hap pened to Bosta and has a general idea where her body may be located. “There’s a small group of people I have my eye on who had something to do with it,” David Marshburn said. “Throwing money at the case may get them to talk, but you never know the breaking point.” The Perquimans Sheriffs Office is leading the inves tigation with the help of the Edenton Police Depart ment, the Chowan Sheriffs Office and the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation. Anyone with information can contact the Perquimans Sheriffs Office at 426-5615- or the SBI at 919-662-4500. Recycle.

Interchanges will be pro vided at Davenport Road, Bear Swamp Road/Snug Harbor Road, Edenton Road Street, Church Street-Harvey Point Road, New Hope Road, Chapanoke Road and Old U.S. 17. The Chapanoke Road in terchange will be a partial cloverleaf. The others will be variations on diamond- shaped interchanges. DOT looked at putting an interchange at U.S. 17 and Ballaliack Road-Wynne Gate admission tickets is $8 for 36” and taller at the gate. Advance tickets sales end Saturday with prices at $6 per ticket. Advance tick ets can be found at local Duck-thru food stores and at the Fair office.

The federal DOT standards require at least two miles dis tance between interchanges. Instead, Ballahack/Wynne Fork will be an elevated “fly over” U.S. .17 at that point. Instead the proposed plans call for putting an in terchange at Edenton Road Street and U.S. 17.

When the project does start, York said it will be in 10 eight-mile segments at a time. He said the, segments that would get the highest priority would be those with high traffic counts and those with a lot of accidents. Normally large farm equip ment can’t use Interstate highways “But there is a precedent to allow farmers access as there as they are signs telling drivers they might encounter tractors.” While that would allow farm equipment on the Inter work, Sewing, Canning, Cakes, Candies, Breads, Pies, Dried Foods, Deco rative Plants and flowers, Herbs, Field Crops, Hor ticulture, Sheep, Poultry, Rabbits, Pigs, and Cows.

Miss Chowan For more information, e- state, it wouldn’t allow farm ers to drive over bridges. For that, they would have to be loaded onto the back of a trailer. “There is a concern about a truck barreling down at 70 miles per hour and finding slow-moving farm equip ment just around the bend, said Angela Welch, the trans portation planner for the Al bemarle Commission. While much of U.S. 17 Chowan and Pasquotank counties is at or close to Interstate standards, Per quimans is the issue, Welch said. “Perquimans and Hertford is the hardest area to figure out.” and resume to the Town Manager, Brandon Shoaf, at PO Box 32, Hertford, NC 27944.
