Bed bug complaints infest school board

Concerned residents confronted the Duplin County Board of Education at the Nov. 5 meeting about bed bugs being found recently at Kenansville Elementary School. Three individuals signed up for public comment to address the board on the topic. Marissa Phipps had several items to address. She started off by stating that she was both nervous and angry as she began addressing the board with her concerns. “This is a big immediate concern. We cannot keep asking our children and staff to report to work to risk bringing it home to our environment and spreading it worse,” she said. “Why not let us go remote, do it for a week, and come back to a clean environment? Yes, we cannot stop it from happening again, but we can stop it from spreading.” She also brought up bullying in schools, stating that it was a major issue. “If you look at the suicide rates in Duplin County, it’s the highest because bullying has not been handled,” she asserted. “Instead it’s being brushed to the side — saying to a child that’s not nice or handing out a stay away agreement. When a child is stuck in a classroom with 30 other kids

Two PCHS grads receive scholarship honoring Michael Higgins

Two East Carolina University students have received the Michael Steven Higgins “Changing the World” Scholarship. Tyler Gregory and Elizabeth Conway both graduated from Perquimans County High School and are majoring in criminal justice at ECU. According to a Perquimans Schools Foundation press release, both students hope to use their education and careers to serve others, reflecting the spirit of the scholarship’s name. Gregory, a sophomore, plans to pursue a career with the N.C. State Bureau of Investigation after completing an internship with the agency and graduating from ECU. His community service has included work with Camp Cale, the high school’s sports camps and the Dream Hunt and Fish program. Conway, a senior, is scheduled to graduate in December. She has interned with the SBI, the Pitt County District Attorney’s Office and the Perquimans County Sheriff’s Office. Brenda Lassiter of the Perquimans County Schools Foundation said that by supporting Gregory and Conway, the scholarship helps encourage the next generation of criminal justice professionals.

High school football: Herdman leading big-play Vikings into second round

Given his defensive prowess, it figures that D.H. Conley’s Ben Herdman would know how to exploit an opponent’s weakness — repeatedly. The Vikings’ senior linebacker blocked two punts and added an interception in the first half Thursday in D.H. Conley’s 63-38 victory over East Wake in the first round of the NCHSAA Class 7A football playoffs at Hollywood Crossroads. The win advanced D.H. Conley, the No. 9 seed in the East 7A bracket, to a second-round matchup on the road. The Vikings are scheduled to square off against eighth-seeded Cape Fear, located just east of Fayetteville in Cumberland County, on Friday. Given that Herdman is D.H. Conley’s leader in tackles with 120 — 11 of those for loss — going into last Thursday’s game, it’s not exactly a surprise that he can break down the Xs and Os of an opponent and describe it like a coach who spends countless hours in the film room. “We knew their schematics on punt. We took a lot of time practicing,” Herdman said. “We saw that if we overloaded one side that they didn’t have enough bodies over there, so that’s where we took advantage of it.” One of Herdman’s blocked kicks occurred
