Had Percy Sledge arrived on time and wooed the crown with
his #1 hit, When a Man Loves a Woman, who knows what
might have been. But according to Honeycutt the next week
saw a dismal 100 people at Williams Lake. Honeycutt says,
“It just faded away after that.” The Tams would make a final

19 years later, in 1957, Robert Honeycutt would go to work
for Clayton Williams. And in 1965 Honeycutt would lease
Williams Lake from the ailing Clayton Williams. In April of
that year, Honeycutt would open Williams Lake with Bob
Collins and the Fabulous Five. The first live show at Williams
Lake would see a massive crown of over 1,250 and would
usher in a new era of teens dancing to live music.
Sadly, just a few years later the music would be turned off…
the dance was over. 1969 would prove to be, to borrow a
phrase, the best of times, the worst of times. The year would
start on a high note for Williams Lake. March shows would
draw record crowds with headliners such as Soul Searchers
featuring Billy Walker, The Tams and Jackie Wilson, but May
would spell the doom. “In May of 69 we had Percy Sledge
booked,” remembers Honeycutt. “We had over 1,000 teenagers just dying to see the show, but Sledge didn’t show up until
11:30 that night…they all just went home disappointed.”

Almost 76 years ago, a jukebox running off of a generator
ushered in the first dance steps at Williams Lake; the year was
1936. Two years later in 1938 a pavilion was built which included a dance floor. Back then, according to Robert Honeycutt, “Owner Clayton Williams would have no idea just how
big an impact Williams Lake would have on our community.”

Small Town Main Street Program Co-Coordinator, and Bob Murphrey, Eastern NC Small Town Main Street Program Co-Coordinator.
Strategic and well thought-out planning is echoed in downtown Clinton’s Vision statement, “Downtown
Clinton is a destination rooted in its rich agricultural heritage. Anchored by the Court Square, our
downtown is the center of opportunity for social, cultural, commercial, and governmental activity in
the heart of Sampson County.”
MAIN STREET, see P3
2008 would mark the first Williams Lake Reunion at the AgriExpo Center in Clinton. A sold out show drew people from
near and far as 550 people relived memories on the dance
floor. “I planned to just do the first year”, states Honeycutt,
“but it has done so well and there has been such a demand,
that we are now just a month away from our 5th reunion
show.”

Sampson County School Board Members Sworn-In

From The Desk Of
Sheriff Thornton
Several weeks ago, I told you about an effort to upgrade the
Sheriff’s Office computer server and records management
software using surplus revenue generated by the Detention
Center this past fiscal year, which would not impact
county tax dollars. The purpose of this project was to
allow for better use of existing personnel, enhancement
of investigative efforts, sharing of information between
law enforcement agencies, enhancement of officer safety
relating to traffic stops, and to ensure that the Sheriff’s
Office is able to address the stringent requirements of
the ever-changing “discovery laws” as they relate to law
enforcement reports. The server and software replacement
is critical in ensuring that the citizens receive quality service,
criminal prosecutions are not jeopardized, and personnel
are used to their maximum potential. Unfortunately, I have
encountered hurdles and opposition to this project from
Commissioner Jarvis McLamb and Commissioner Albert
Kirby.
To give you a little history, the Sheriff’s Office made a
presentation to the Board of Commissioners in February
outlining the server and software needs. The presentation
included informal quotes from several reputable software
dealers that ranged from $272,000 to around $800,000, not
including the server and security software. A company
was identified that could meet our needs, had a strong
reputation with other jurisdictions in North Carolina
of similar size, and had more economical maintenance
options. The records management software, computer
security software and server equipment proposal that
was presented totaled approximately $400,507.00. Since
the Detention Center was projected to bring in well

Glenn Tart, the Oath of Office for the Sampson County
School Board. Pictured is Dora Copeland and school

over $600,000.00 in surplus revenue, I felt this one-time
additional, unencumbered revenue would best be used to
fund the project without having to use taxpayer dollars.
Commissioner Kirby indicated that he had reservations
about the price and wanted to see a software demo. No one
on the Board of Commissioners at any time authorized the
solicitation of formal bids. The Board agreed not to take
any action until their monthly meeting in May, allowing a
demo to be set up for Commissioners Kirby and McLamb
to attend.
an advertisement announcing the Request for Proposal was
placed in the newspaper. Only one additional company
that was not previously identified requested a copy of the
specifications. One records management software proposal
was submitted and opened on the deadline date by the
County Finance Officer, which happened to be the North
Carolina based company we originally recommended.
A software demonstration was set up in March at the County
Administration conference room. Commissioner Kirby
attended and viewed the software however Commissioner
McLamb did not attend. Commissioner Kirby indicated
that he understood the uses of the software however he
still thought the product cost too much. Once again, there
wasn’t anything mentioned about obtaining a formal bid.
During the Board of Commissioners May Meeting, the
Sheriff’s Office was placed on the agenda to request that
the software and server project be funded using surplus
detention center revenue generated by housing inmates
for other jurisdictions. During the meeting Commissioner
Kirby indicated that he felt the price was too high and that
someone else could do it cheaper. The informal quotes
obtained from various law enforcement records management
software companies were again presented to demonstrate
that we were recommending the most economical solution.
Commissioner Kirby argued that the prices presented were
not formal quotes, and he was correct since we had never
been authorized by the Board of Commissioners to advertise
for a formal quote. When Commissioner Strickland
indicated that consideration should be given to funding the
project, since the Detention Center generated the additional
revenue, Commissioners Kirby and McLamb turned the
discussion regarding how the Sheriff’s Office had been
looked after “handsomely” during the past few years but
indicated that “enough was enough.” Commissioner Kirby
indicated that the money could be used for better things,
such as giving the deputies a pay raise, however he never
made a motion to give a raise. The presentation ended with
a motion to obtain a formal “Request for Proposal,” with the
results to be opened and presented to the Board.
One of my employees spent the better part of several
workdays, writing the technical specifications to be sent out
in the Request for Proposal. The specifications were sent
to the software vendors that had already been identified and
On June 13th, during a Commissioners’ budget session,
the results of the Request for Proposals were presented to
the Board of Commissioners. Commissioner Kirby again
indicated that he felt that someone could do it cheaper and
felt that a “world-wide” search should have been done.
Commissioner Kirby indicated that he didn’t think that the
Request for Proposal was done the way he thought it should
have been done, while Commissioner McLamb wanted to
know how many employees we could get rid of if we bought
the software. Commissioner Strickland made a motion to
fund the project and Commissioner Lockamy seconded it,
with Commissioners Kirby and McLamb voting against it.
Since the vote was a tie and Commissioner Blanton was
unable to attend, the motion is essentially in a stale-mate
until Commissioner Blanton can attend and vote.
Throughout additional budget sessions, Commissioner
McLamb has fought to eliminate the Sheriff’s Office
Criminal Interdiction Team, which has made numerous
drug and cash seizures. Unfortunately, he will not accept
that the only way to stop drug shipments is through the use
of motor vehicle law enforcement techniques.
During the Board of Commissioners July regular meeting,
the Commissioners were given a presentation on new
software for the Tax Office, which would run around
$600,000.00, which was needed. The Tax Office is
essentially trying to do the same fundamental things that
we wanted to do such as improving efficiency and allowing
for better use of personnel. The funding for the tax software
will be footed by the taxpayers. I have no problem with
this purchase, however I have a problem for the “double
standard” and obvious personal agendas that I perceive
against the Sheriff’s Office by Commissioners Kirby
and McLamb, especially since Kirby made the motion to
purchase the tax software and McLamb seconded it. Why
couldn’t they have supported the records management
software, since the price of the software alone was less
than half of the cost of the tax software and was being paid
for by other counties, not the taxpayer, especially since we
followed the same procedures as the Tax Office?

GARLAND, cont. from P1
According to Mayor Winifred Murphy, the Mayor Pro Tem Ralph Smith had asked that
the subject of Sunday Beer Sales be added to the agenda for the board to discuss.
Murphy commented, “They (meaning the Board of Commissioners) may be thinking that
the revenue should be kept in Garland. If people are going to buy beer on Sunday, they
are just going to other towns to buy it. It would obviously increase Garland’s tax revenue
from Beer/Wine Sales.”
When contacted, Commissioner Smith commented on the decision. “I had businesses
that had requested for the board to look into a referendum, so I decided to ask that it be
put on the agenda. Selling of beer on Sunday is all around us-in other towns such as
Clinton. In Cumberland County, the selling of beer on Sunday is county-wide.” According
to Smith who has lived in Garland since 1959 and lived on the outskirts the remainder,
“Garland has not held a Special Referendum in at least 15 years, with the last one being
the actual Selling of Beer/Wine. I believe that this is something that we need to move
along with. White Lake does not have the selling of beer at all. With all the lake traffic
that comes through Garland, it would make it easier for them. I have been at Piggly
Wiggly on any given Sunday and people from White Lake would be there to buy beer,
not realizing that we do not sell beer on Sunday. We are losing a lot of revenue.” Smith
continued, “We (Garland) could not even think about bringing in a Class ‘A’ restaurant
without it.”
A3
The Sale of Beer/Wine is allowed in Roseboro, Clinton and Newton Grove with no alcohol
being sold in Harrells, Turkey or Autryville.
Smith also noted that the discussion of the referendum would also be brought up at the
next board meeting, “We may want to add some amendments to it. I don’t believe that
it would be possible to hold the referendum this year. It will probably be sometime next
year. We will have to look at the time table to see.” The time table for a Special Referendum states that it cannot be no more than120 days before a General Election and no
less than 60 days.
But the final decision will be in the hands of the voters. The small town of Garland has a
population of 625 people according to the 2010 Census with an estimated median household income in 2009 of only $23,903 well below the North Carolina average of $43,674.
According to Sampson County Board of Elections official Donna Marshburn, Garland has
443 registered voters with a breakdown of 306-Democrat, 87-Republicans and 50 Unaffiliated. With an extremely low turnout of Garland voters in the 2011 Municipal Election,
with only 139 voters casting their ballots (101 Democrats, 3 Republicans and 6 Unaffiliated). According to Marshburn, she did not know exactly how much it would cost the
town for a Special Referendum Election. “If they just added it to the 2013 ballot, it would
not be as expensive. With a special election, you have to do all the same things such as
the printing of ballots, etc.”
Downtown Clinton has a vision statement which is consistent with
the past history of our beautiful county and city and with excellent
prospects of a continued bright future for many generations to come. Over the past thirty years, downtown
Clinton has re-invented itself, revitalized itself and remade itself into a vital and attractive destination for
its citizens, community members and visitors. The completion of the parking areas and the center piece
art work “Milling Around” caps off nearly thirty years of planning, designing, excavating, bricklaying,
paving and co-operation between many local business owners, property owners, local, city, county, state,
and federal agencies and citizens.
The good news is that this is not the end of bringing downtown Clinton into the 21st century. According
to Mary M. Rose, Planning Director Clinton-Sampson Planning and Development, “The focus may
change from construction and beautification and to more on the organization, volunteers and committees.
This change will help develop more planning in order to get the community more involved in the future
and in the vision for downtown.”

area. Commenting, “The art work is on par with the caliber of art you would see in New York City or
London. Also the team commented on the cleanliness of our town. Noting that first impressions are
hard to over-come and their first impression of our town was one of cleanliness, showing pride in our
community.

WILLIAMS LAKE, cont. from P1
“I’m just amazed” says Honeycutt, “that after 40 years this thing is still as big as it is.” The Saturday August 18th Williams Lake Dance Club Reunion is already sold out, but Honeycutt says
he has just a few reserved tickets left. “I get such a great wealth of support from Bob “Boogie
Shoes” Stroud who will be the Dee Jay, and John Moore, the Master of Ceremonies.” When
asked why he still does this Honeycutt smiled and said, “I just really enjoy it. Music got in my
blood back in high school, and it’s been there ever since.” Honeycutt says that it’s never been
about money, but about “entertaining the people…it was always about entertaining people.”
The Williams Lake Dance Club Reunion and the Williams Lake Society are a 501(c)3 nonprofit, with proceeds from the show going to the Sampson County Shriners, Relay for Life,
Scholarship Funds, Wounded Warriors, The Meth Task Force, and the Department of Aging.
This year’s reunion gets started at 3:00 PM on Saturday August 18th with a social and free pig
picking. There will be live entertainment with The Ginger Thompson Band, and Bob “Boogie
Shoes” Stroud will be spinning hits. The stage show and dance begin at 7:30 PM and will end
when the dancing does. The Legends of Beach with Jackie Gore and Kent Helser, along with
Angel Rissoff and Harry’s Band from Dunn will supply the music. “Harry’s Band hasn’t played
together for 8 years,” says Honeycutt. “This will be a reunion for them too…and it could be the
last time you get to see them play.”
When asked how long he plans to keep going, Robert Honeycutt just grins, “As long as the
people keep coming and they leave happy; as long as they are entertained.”

Cherry explains, “In 1998 I purchased my first table top
embroidery machine and found that I absolutely LOVED
embroidery. I have owned a sewing machine since 1973
and have always loved sewing. Embroidery proved to be
another added pleasure and while working at SRMC my
friends saw some of the items that I was embroidering. They
began asking me to embroider for them. It was fun and I
was able to make some extra money, so it was profitable as
well.”
“In 2002 Ann Oliver, of Ann’s Sew N Vac, invited me to
join her and I rented a small corner of her shop where I
brought my 2 embroidery machines. Later, in the fall of
2002, I purchased my first Commercial machine.” Cherry
Naylor would stay at Ann’s Sew N Vac for two years,
working part-time at SRMC and building a customer base
and business that would soon call for its own space. “I had
the opportunity to purchase an existing nursing uniform
business and in March 2003 I combined my embroidery
business with the nursing business and the rest is history!!”
“I am currently working Part time in the Emergency
Allcare is more than just a uniform store. “When I shop
the Atlanta Market I am constantly looking for something
new and different that can be embroidered easily. We have
“Bella Taylor” fabric handbags and totes and accessories as
well as Mud Pie totes and accessories. Both of these can be
embroidered with either Monogram or Name (called Name
dropping). Stephen Joseph Backpacks for kids have a great
window of opportunity for embroidery as well. Pendergrass
offers cosmetic bags, bath wraps, and bath robes ready for
embroidery. There are many other items that we offer for
personalization.”
“We sell Davinci interchangeable bead jewelry too. Nurses
come into the shop to purchase uniforms and often are
pleased when they find such items as Davinci and Bella
Taylor and other products.” Cherry also says, “Of course
we offer scrubs (uniforms) too! Designs by Landau, Urbane
Scrubs, Cherokee, Cherokee Workwear, Peaches, Koi and
Dansko. We have shoes by Dansko, Alegria, Cherokee,
Nursemates and Scrub Works (Landau); and we also offer
medical accessories by Prestige Medical, Littmann, MDF
Medical Instruments.”

of the comfort of this shoe, other professionals began

also to teachers, restaurant workers, and others who are on
their feet 8 – 12 hours a day.”
“As a nurse I have the opportunity to talk with the Sampson
Community College students when they come into my shop
to look and purchase the items that they need for school.
I am excited for each and every one of them and offer
as much encouragement as I can for their career choice.
Students come from surrounding counties to purchase
uniforms and supplies from Allcare. It is not unusual for
students enrolled at Johnston Community College, James
Sprunt Community College, Southeastern Community
College and Fayetteville Technical Community College to
shop at Allcare. I am a vendor with several local agencies
including Employment Security Commission, HarnettSampson Youth Program, and Sampson Community
College Job Link (WIA) in supplying uniforms and
supplies to students enrolled in various programs at the
above mentioned Community Colleges.”
Barbara Herring is a customer at Allcare, “I usually shop
there every couple of months and I like the service I
receive from Cherry. I mostly buy uniforms and Dansko
shoes.” Ms. Herring is also a coworker at SRMC, “I have
known Cherry for almost 11 years and have worked with
her in the emergency department when she would fill in
part time.”
Ms. Herring says, “It has been a pleasure to know Cherry.
She has always followed through with her commitments.
I enjoy working with her as a nurse and visiting with her
at Allcare.”
Phyllis Goodman is another co-worker and customer. “I
have worked with Cherry Naylor at Sampson Regional
Medical Center (SRMC) as a Registered Nurse in
the ICU for over 10 years. She brings experience and
compassion to our healthcare team”. Ms Goodman says,
“I enjoy shopping at Allcare for my uniform and nursing
accessories. Her prices are always competitive, and she
features uniforms that exhibit the latest trends in nursing
fashion. I have been a customer since she opened her
business; and I especially enjoy the payroll deduction she
graciously instilled for the employees at SRMC. Shop
now and pay later is always a bonus especially in these
economic times!”
Naylor commented, “I absolutely love embroidery
and the creative opportunity it offers. Several Interior
Decorators use my services doing pillow tops, curtain
toppers, bed coverings and shower curtains as well. One
of my customers even drives from Whiteville to bring
embroidery pieces because she cannot get the embroidery
selections done locally.”
Ms. Naylor concluded, “I need to thank each customer
who shops with me; they don’t know just how much I
appreciate their patronage.”
“This Spring I brought in
Sanuk. Sanuk is a very
popular casual shoe that
comes in a loafer style called
“Sidewalk Surfer” and a
flip flop called “Yoga Mat”.
Customers have appreciated
the fact that they can purchase
Sanuk locally!! We sell

maintenance and they are local employees paid with county
dollars. There are also 4 teachers within the ROTC program
that are paid by the county. Most employees however are paid
for with either state or federal dollars, including bus drivers.
Dr. Lenker also says one of the things he
likes about Sampson County has been how
approachable each of the School Board members
has been to the community. Lenker explains that
because these board members are prominent
members of local communities they are much
more approachable by others within their
community.
Next JW Simmons asks Dr. Lenker to discuss the use of
Lottery funds. Lenker states that most lottery funds are
designed for school buildings either as debt service (paying
for loans) or for direct use to build or maintain buildings.
“Sampson County has done an incredible job with some of
our new buildings here in Sampson County. We have some
incredible high schools and a couple of new elementary
schools that just opened up… but we’re still paying off
those buildings.” Lenker says that all the money that comes
in to Sampson County from the lottery goes to the County
Commissioners for debt services. “We truly get no dollars in
the school system…and most school systems are that way.
You can’t use lottery funds to buy teachers.”
Dr. Ethan Lenker with JW Simmons host of “We Should Know”
Tuesdays from 2:30 PM until 3:30 PM, J.W. Simmons hosts a
radio show on 1170 AM called “We Should Know”, and The
Sampson Weekly will feature portions of the transcripts in
our continuing efforts to bring you more coverage of what is
happening in our community. The guest for this week’s show
was Dr. Ethan Lenker, Superintendant of Sampson County
Schools.
Dr. Ethan Lenker has been the Superintendant of Sampson
County Schools for 4 years now. The Sampson County Schools
system includes over 8,600 students at 17 schools. The system
also offers an Early College program as well as an Alternative
program.
Sampson County Schools are overseen by an elected Board of
Education made up of 7 members, the newest member, Sonya
Powell, was recently just sworn into office. Dr. Lenker explains
that it is from this board that he takes his direction. “They have
really allowed me to handle the academic side of the school
system, and push things, as Sampson County Schools continue to
grow”. Dr. Lenker states that they (the school system) have had
great results again this year, and that he has been very pleased
with the past year’s performance.
JW Simmons begins the show by asking Dr. Lenker to explain
the process used to elect members to the Sampson County Board
of Education. Dr. Lenker says that Sampson County Schools are
organized into 4 attendance zones or districts. They are: Midway,
Hobbton, Lakewood and Union. However, members of the Board
of Education are elected by an “At Large” vote. This means that
as a resident of Sampson County, a citizen can vote for 1 of any of
the candidates running for election to the board during that term.
The candidates receiving the highest number of votes are thereby
elected to fill board membership. For example, if there are 3 seats
up for election to the Sampson County Board of Education, and 5
Dr. Lenker further explains that members of
the Board of Education knowingly undertake a
very big commitment. The Sampson County Board of Education
typically meets twice each month, once for a board meeting and
once for a work session. But Lenker explains that the commitment is
actually much larger than that. Dr. Lenker says that he will typically
meet with or speak with board members several times each week.
“Current Chairman GH Wilson and I will talk a couple of times each
week about the direction of what we’re doing in the school system.”
Lenker goes on to say, “You’re involved everywhere you go…As
Superintendent of Schools, you’re never ‘Not the Superintendent of
Schools’. I don’t ever walk into a school and I’m just Ethan. That’s
just not what happens… (It’s) the same way with board members.
You are someone who sets policy and sets the direction of the school
system as a board member, so you have a very pivotal role. It’s not
just a couple of hours, a couple of times a month; it’s a full time job.”
Next JW Simmons asks Dr. Ethan Lenker to discuss the relationship
between the School Board and the Board of County Commissioners.
Lenker explains that the primary relationship revolves around
school funding. “The school board will get together and come up
with its local budget. We will submit that to the County Manager and
the County Commissioners. They will work through it over the next
several months and decide how much money they are going to fund
us.” Lenker says from that point the School Board will prioritize
spending and go forward from there. “They are the keepers of the
funds,” says Lenker. “They set how much money Sampson County
Schools is going to receive.”
JW Simmons next asks Dr. Lenker to explain where the money comes
from to pay school employees. Dr. Lenker says that about 96 to 98%
of Sampson County School employees (teachers, administrators,
councilors, etc.) are actually employees of the state. The funds
for their pay will come from the state budget. There are some
employees however, who work directly for the local school system.
The jobs that these employees do are typically related to facilities
FURNITURE
JW Simmons next asks Dr. Lenker to discuss the social
network in the lives of children, and how the school system
plays a part in developing that network. “Here in Sampson
County, like most school systems I expect, you are always
challenged to figure out ways to get from parents the support
you need…and also, ways to support the parents so they can
help with the kids at home. That’s part of the whole process.”
Dr. Lenker explains that just this past year the school system
started some bullying sessions at some of the middle schools;
and brought in parents to have parent nights. “We are going
to continue that process”, says Lenker. “I know the schools
are very adamant in trying to get parents to come to schools
and be part of that process…A lot of people might say that
schools don’t want parents there, but that’s certainly not true.
What we do need is help.”
Dr. Lenker also says, “There are always things that we can do
with a kid, to move a kid forward, but we have a kid for 7 ½
hours a day. They (students) still spend most of their time at
home, so we do need that parent support.” Dr. Lenker suggests
that there is much the school system can do academically if
they are able to get the needed support from parents. “When
you look at the parents who are involved, you can see those
kids really blossom. But it is a challenge because people are
working and people are busy.”
The next “We Should Know” hosted by J.W. Simmons will
air next Tuesday from 2:30 to 3:30 PM on our local radio
station WCLN 1170 AM. If you would like to reach “We
Should Know” you may call them at 910-592-8947 or email

South River EMC marked its 15th year of fundraising or 4-H programs in Sampson, Harnett and
Cumberland counties through its annual golf tournament.
for the top honors. Other businesses sponsored
hole signs on the course, all of which brought a
total of $6,900. Each 4-H organization received
about $2,300 for their agency.
Each year, the Cooperative invites vendors and
business associates to participate in the shotgun
start tournament at Cypress Lakes Golf Course in
Hope Mills. The day is filled with fun, fellowship
and stiff competition.
Last year, many teams showed up to play, but
sadly, the tournament was rained out. Bad for
players, but great for the 4-H agencies! The
tournament raised $10,500 that year and South
River EMC raised the highest amount of money
for North Carolina cooperative 4-H tournaments
in 2011.
During the tournament, drinks and snacks are
available to the golfers; many of the snacks are
handmade by the 4-H organizations who receive
funding. At the conclusion of the game, a hot meal
with homemade desserts is served up by the 4-H,
while scores are being tallied.
This year, the sunny day brought 2 teams to play
“This tournament has been a great partnership
between South River EMC and the 4-H program,”
said Catherine O’Dell, manager of member and
public affairs at South River EMC. “Over the past
15 years, South River EMC has raised $112,500
through this event.”
Guardian ad Litem Program Needs Volunteers
The North Carolina Guardian ad Litem Program has a serious need for volunteers from Sampson County to train as court appointed special advocates for abused
and neglected children.
A Guardian ad Litem volunteer is appointed to a case by a judge only after the Department of Social Services has filed a petition in court alleging abuse or neglect. The job of
the volunteer is to investigate the circumstances, and to write a comprehensive report
to the court with recommendations for helping children to reach safe and permanent
homes. Judges use these reports to help them make fully informed decisions concerning
the best interests of the children.
Currently, more than 115 children are involved in Sampson County juvenile court
through no fault of their own. However, there are presently only 17 Sampson County
volunteers.
The plight of abused and neglected children is not an easy matter for anyone
to deal with. Unfortunately, however, it is a reality and the need is great. To be sure, it
is a unique volunteer opportunity, and not for everyone; but those who do find it to be a
richly fulfilling experience.
To become one of these “champions for children” requires that you be able to
pass a background check and undergo 30 hours of training and court room observation.
To volunteer in Duplin or Sampson Counties call 910-296-2307 or email
[email protected]. Also visit the web site at www.gal4kids.org.

ELDERLY ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO THE HEAT
Many people might choose a nice, hot day over a
blustery, cold afternoon. However, excessively hot days
can not only feel uncomfortable, but they can also prove
life-threatening. Elderly men and women, in particular,
are susceptible to the effects of hot temperatures.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, people ages 65 and older are more prone to
heat stroke and heat-related stress than those of other
ages. Seniors’ bodies are not able to adjust to sudden
changes in temperature as quickly as younger people’s.
A chronic condition that affects the body’s response to
heat, as well as taking certain prescription medications
also may play a role in seniors’ susceptibility to the heat.
The City of Sacramento Department of Parks and
Recreation says that around 370 deaths from heatrelated illnesses occur across the United States each
year. Nearly half of those deaths are people who are
65 and older. Prolonged heat exposure can take quite a
toll on the average person. Factor in the more delicate
health of many seniors, and the hot weather can be
quite dangerous.
Further compounding the problem is higher energy
costs. Seniors living on fixed incomes may not be able
to afford to turn on air conditioners because of the power
draw.
There are different types of heat-related injuries, though
heat exhaustion and heat stroke are the most common.
Here are signs that a person may be experiencing one
or the other.
Heat Exhaustion
* weakness
* tiredness
* heavy sweating
* paleness
* dizziness
* nausea
* vomiting
* fainting
* fast, weak pulse rate
* headache
* fast and shallow breathing
Heat stroke
* extremely high body temperature (over 105 F)
* red, hot and dry skin
* absence of sweat
* throbbing headache
* dizziness
* nausea
What to do
Friends or family members should check in with an elderly
relative or friend when the weather is especially warm to
ensure they’re safely handling the heat.
In addition, people of all ages can take the following
precautions to keep cool when the temperatures rise.
* Drink cool, nonalcoholic beverages. Water and diluted
fruit juices can help rehydrate the body quickly.
* Restrict physical activity.
* Take a cool shower or bath or wipe yourself down with
a damp cloth.
* Seek an air-conditioned environment. For those who
won’t or can’t turn on the air conditioning, visit a shopping
mall or library to keep cool. Some towns and cities also
make cooling centers available in extreme heat.
* Wear lightweight clothing.
* Try to remain indoors during the hottest hours of the
day.
* Wear hats or use an umbrella to shield your head from
sunshine outdoors.
* Eat cool foods, but avoid extremely cold foods.
Otherwise you risk the chance of developing stomach
cramps.
* Do not do laundry or turn on appliances that contribute
to extra indoor heat.
The heat is nothing to take lightly, especially when it
comes to seniors’ health.

FAITH
Have I Got A Story To Share With You!
by Debra Joy Wallace
taller of the two men told me there was no child in the
restroom. I responded with: “What? Are you sure? He
has to be inside the restroom!”
Seeing my panic-stricken face, the taller man said let
me take another look. He pushed open the restroom’s
door, looked inside, and said: “There just one other
person inside and from the look of his boots….he’s a
grown man.”
All types of disturbing images began playing across
the screen of my mind as I grabbed the man’s arm and
demanded: “From the look of his boots He’s a grown
man! What do you mean from the look of his boots?”
Things aren’t always what they seem. Here’s this week’s
story…which occurred early last year while dining at a
seafood restaurant with my mother and Jairus Luke my
grandson.
Midway through our meal Jairus Luke began
complaining with a tummy ache. Moments later, he
pushed his chair back from the table and made a dash
for the men’s restroom. Whenever my grandchildren
use public restrooms I am cautiously protective. In
today’s society, I don’t believe a parent or grandparent
can be overprotective in these matters. As the media
has reported “bad things” sometimes occur to children in
public restrooms. Oftentimes I have posted myself just
outside the entrance of the men’s restroom…well within
earshot. This particular restroom was located near our
table and the entrance was within easy view...so I felt
Jairus Luke would be safe without me chaperoning.
Nevertheless, I kept a careful watch on the men who
went in and out of the restroom.
About twenty minutes went by and still Jairus Luke had
not returned to our table. Concerned that his tummy
ache may have gotten worse, I decided to check on
him. While walking to the men’s restroom I saw two men
dressed in camouflaged clothing go inside. Standing
just outside the restroom, I waited for the men to exit. A
couple of minutes later they did come out and I explained
to them my concern for my ten year-old grandson. The
The taller man patiently explained: “There’s a man in a
stall and the only thing I can see are his boots.”
“Could you please tell me what his boots look like?” I
asked.
“But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: Where
we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”—Romans 5:8
“Sure I can.” Opening the restroom’s door once more,
the taller man looked at the boots worn by the person
inside the stall and then gave me a detailed description
of the boots. Upon hearing the description, I let out a
long nervous sigh of relief and then began laughing as
I informed the two men that my ten-year-old grandson
wore a size ten men’s boot and the boots just described
where my grandsons!
“Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love?
Does it mean He no longer loves us if we have trouble
or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or
in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures
say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are
being slaughtered like sheep.) No, despite all these
things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who
loved us.
Knowing Jairus Luke was alone in the restroom, I
pushed the door open wide and went inside just far
enough to see his boots beneath the stall. And what
a welcomed sight his boots were! Bless his heart; the
reason his visit to the restroom was taking so long was
because his tummy ache had become a full blast upset
stomach. And that’s all the description that’s needed to
get the picture.
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us
from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels
nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries
about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can
separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above
or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will
ever be able to separate us from the love of God that
is revealed in Christ Jesus
our Lord.”—Romans 8:35-39
(NLT)
I’ve thought back on this incident several times since it
occurred eighteen months ago. And I’ve learned from
it. It is indeed a fact, that things aren’t always what
they seem. There are times when life is going great
and it seems as though nothing can stop you. And then
suddenly, and oftentimes unexpectedly, you learn that
things aren’t as “good” as what they had seemed and
you find your “perfect” world coming apart.
On the other hand, there are times when it seems like

Preoccupation with thoughts
that
sabotage
spiritual
and personal growth is a
demonic hopscotch; every
box you jump into is filled
with quick sand. A mind
that clings to past mistakes,
emotional hurts, or painful
experiences
perpetuates
a state of bondage; and,
denies the freedom you have
in Christ Jesus.
The thoughts of God are
never burdensome. They
heal, refresh, and redirect.
If you are having trouble
changing the way you
think, seek wise counsel;
and then get busy doing
what needs to be done
to make it better. Don’t
continue to succumb
to
stinking-thinking;
thoughts of God send the
mind heavenward.
Sometimes it’s easy to
get caught up in negative
thinking; however, we
must choose to let our
minds be renewed and

What’s the point I’m trying to make with this story?
That you and I would do well to remember that things
aren’t always what they seem. And that it is dangerous
and defeating for us to live our lives and make choices
based on the appearance of things because things have
a tendency to change from one day to another.
Instead, we need to seek God and trust His unchanging
Word in all of life’s ups and downs. And keep in mind
that God loves you. As a matter of fact, whether it seems
like it or not…God has always loved you.
What’s on Your Mind?
God, prayer, praise, and
positive affirmations. We
must become discipline
enough to take the “small,
specific, and immediate”
steps that are necessary
to move us toward
eliminating self-defeating
thought patterns and
addictive habits.
things can’t get much worse for you…and then suddenly,
for reasons you really can’t explain, things do get
better. You discover that those situations that seemed
hopeless…are not what they seemed. That in life there
is always hope… whether it seems like it or not.
same; and also bring with
it a harvest of similar
behavioral actions. Don’t
continue to let your mind be
a landfill of bitterness, guilt,
depression, other-people’sproblems, failure, low-selfesteem, lack of confidence,
fear, discontentment, etc.
Stop! Make a U-turn; and,
get back on track. Let the
Holy Spirit take control of
your thoughts. The journey
towards a renewed mind
and a transformed way of
living can be one of the most
empowering and freeing
adventures you have ever
had.
Summing it all up, friends,
I’d say you’ll do best by
filling your minds and
meditating on things true,
noble, reputable, authentic,
compelling, gracious – the
best, not the worst, the

Psalms for the Soul
The Bible speaks to us but the Psalms speak for us. Does this sound
familiar? A worship leader reads Scripture and though he correctly
pronounces every word, his tone is flat and his face is expressionless. The congregation sings and listens to an three part sermon.
True words are preached and sung but everything seems geared
for the heads of the worshipers, not their hearts and certainly not
their bodies.
Psalm 149:1 says, Sing to the Lord a
new song.” We are invited to worship
God with our whole beings. While we
may not be a part of a congregation
that worships with tambourines and
harps and dance, we can still offer our
bodies as instruments of praise. Sitting, standing, singing, we can offer
our praise to God. God’s worshipers
acknowledge their utter dependence
upon the Lord. Surrender your life to
God and worship Him. Do not let the
stresses of the day steal your Psalm.
Have a blessed week and keep looking up, Jesus may come today.

I have been playing off
and on for the last month
or so. Most people today think of Battlefield 3
when they think of huge

correct, but let’s not forget about Battlefield and
Battlefield 2. The reason
I bring those games up
is because now you can
play some of the maps
from the earlier games for
free online at battlefield.

need is an email address
and a computer and internet connection capable of
running the software.
Just like the Battlefield series that we already know so well, there
are different soldier classes for players to choose
from with different weapon load outs. In order

free of charge for a predetermined time frame.
They do have prizes
that last forever (that’s
how I got the UMP45
I use now). Now this
may seem like a surprise
to some, but anyone
who has played any EA
games knows they don’t
exactly have a reputation
for just giving out stuff
to players with no strings
attached.
Weapon
upgrades aside, the game is
really fun if nothing else
because of the vehicles.
That’s why I personally
don’t stress too much
about the monetary upgrade system because
the vehicle upgrade system is completely free
and I spend most of my
time trying to find a vehicle in the play4free
version. The vehicles
are pretty quick to pick
up and maneuver if you
have any previous battlefield experience. If not,
just know ahead of time
the helicopters and jets
can be tricky.
It’s no Battlefield 3 by any stretch of
the imagination, but if
you’re bored, cheap, and
like online first person
shooters, give it a shot.
to upgrade to better
weapons you must first
unlock them by earning experience points
for the soldier you
are playing with. The
only downside is that
the game is PLAY for
free, not upgrade your
character for free. So
in order for you to actually acquire weapons
after you unlock them,
you must spend some
money on “play4free
funds”. This is the in
game currency that
players use to purchase
new weapons. Now if
you’re like me (cheap)
you can always hope
for the luck of the draw
each day when you log
in and play the random
card game “The Daily
Draw”. You randomly
pick an onscreen card
that is face down, the
card flips over and the
player receives a prize
ranging from supplies
to weapons and gear m a r t y @ t h e s a m p s o n that players can use weekly.com

“There is nothing like responding to other people’s writing to inspire you to do your own,” said adjunct English professor Thomas Clere. “Wordsworth and Coleridge, for a famous example, inspired
each other to write subjective and visionary poetry, with each poet finding his own distinctive style
and subject. As a writer responding to the work of others, you also develop a keener eye and ear in
editing for conciseness and clarity.”
Members of the Mount Olive College Chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the International English Honor
Society, meet faithfully every other week, even throughout summer, to present their creative writing
pieces to one another. The meetings are fairly informal; they sit at a large table, constructively critiquing each other’s work, laughing at jokes and discussing things as they come. They are referred to
as the Writers’ Group. Mount Olive College English major John O’Quinn is a published writer, and
a valued member of the group. “The Writers’ Group at Mount Olive College is a small assembly of
serious literary enthusiasts. We have stories to tell, and we help each other to tell those stories more
effectively.”
Leonard Moore, assistant professor of English and acclaimed poet, offers invaluable professional
insight to students and fellow professors in the group. “I like the fact that the Writers’ Group provides
greater opportunities for English majors and students who minor in creative writing.” Recent Mount
Olive College English graduate Sharon Mervin is proof of that greater opportunity. “Professor Moore
invited me to submit some of my writing to a journal that he was editing. I submitted the first flash
fiction story that I’d ever written, “The Invitation,” and it got published!”
Dr. Sarah Clere, professor of English, has been a vital part of the Writers’ Group since its inception.
“I think it has definitely helped students by giving them the discipline and incentive to write for the
group. I also think the feedback has been helpful.” Senior English major Rebecca Orta agrees. “Knowing that I am receiving genuine feedback gives me the self-confidence to submit my work to publishers. It also has improved my grammar and other areas we English majors thrive on.”
“While it can be a bit unnerving to have your writing broken down and every word scrutinized, this
is exactly what a writer needs,” explained junior English major Rebecca Moore, a new member of the
Writers’ Group. “Any artist does not need to be spoon-fed. We need truth and constructive criticism.
In the Writers’ Group we get both.”
There are no incentives for joining the Writers’ Group. Members meet because they enjoy writing for
writings sake, and they believe the input received from professors and fellow students can help them
improve. O’Quinn thinks the best advice any writer can take is to give their own work the benefit of
the doubt. “Be persistent. Maybe your story didn’t win the cash prize, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t
a great story. Let the reader decide. Never give up. If you are a writer,
you already
know.” Samps

Sampson County Health Department’s Role in Communicable Disease
by Kathie Johnson, RN
Many people have no idea how being exposed to
a communicable disease can affect them until it
happens to them or their family, friends or loved
ones. Communicable diseases can be passed through
a variety of ways: person to person includes such
diseases as TB or Shigellosis; insects to persons
include West Nile Virus or Lyme Disease; or animals to
persons, such as Rabies or Hantavirus. Communicable
diseases can affect anyone, from newborn infants to
the elderly and often strike those who have the least
amount of defense against fighting off disease, such as
the infants that haven’t fully developed their immune
systems, the elderly and people whose immune
systems are not working properly, such as cancer
patients on chemotherapy. Suddenly, a person is very
sick and those closest to that person face consequences
as a result of being in contact with that person. The
Sampson County Health Department Communicable
Disease Programs are responsible for following up
on all reportable communicable diseases in Sampson
County. These programs include Tuberculosis (TB),
Communicable Diseases and Vaccine-Preventable
Diseases.
For example, Jane Doe has cancer and has been on
chemotherapy for five months. She develops a cough
that continues for the next 3-4 weeks. She gets up
one day and starts to cough up blood. She goes to her
doctor who sends her for an x-ray. The x-ray shows a
place on her lung called a “cavitary lesion,” a classic
sign of Tuberculosis, more commonly referred to
as TB, a communicable disease. She is admitted to
the hospital and put in the “Isolation Room” where
family and friends must wear a mask each time
they go to visit her. The hospital infection control
nurse will immediately notify the Sampson County
Health Department Communicable Disease Program
Coordinator that a TB suspect has been admitted to
the hospital. A health department nurse will visit
Jane in the hospital and begin an investigation. Every
one who lives in her house, including her two young
grandchildren, and every one who has had close
contact with her, including the cancer clinic nurses, get
a TB skin test provided by the health department. One
of Jane’s grandchildren and one of the cancer clinic
nurses test positive for TB infection and now must be
placed on preventive TB medications.
Another example of the need for health department
intervention includes infant John Doe, a 3 month
old, who has a cough that makes him lose his breath.
His mother takes him to his pediatrician, who orders
several tests. One of the tests is for Pertussis, or
Whooping Cough, and the results are positive. The
doctor immediately notifies Sampson County Health
Department and an investigation is initiated. The
health department nurse talks to the parents and
discovers that John attends a day care. The nurse then
visits the day care and screens the staff and children
for any symptoms of Pertussis or Whooping Cough;
there, two additional children and a staff member are
also positive for Pertussis. The health department
then provides treatment for all of the cases’ family
members, the day care staff, classmates and others that
were in close contact with the cases.

or 4247.
Under federal and state laws, any facility that confirms
a communicable disease case must report it to the health
department. This includes doctors, clinics, hospitals
and testing laboratories.

EXTEND SUMMER FUN WITH EXPERT OUTDOOR LIGHTING TIPS
From neighborhood picnics to kids’ play time, summer
means outside time. Much of that activity occurs during
longer daylight hours, but darkness is also a great time
to enjoy warm-weather days. How can you create an
environment that extends the fun of summer past sunset?
Fortunately, the right light can make evening hours safer
and more enjoyable, according to the American Lighting
Association. Whether for poolside parties, romantic dinners
on the patio or barbecues with neighbors, make your
outdoors more beautiful and pleasant with these tips and
tricks:
1. Improve navigation with outdoor lighting
Lighting is typically layered into a room or outdoor space
in three ways: overhead, task and ambient. Even outdoors
- where there are no typical boundaries and borders - those
three layers are necessary. Outdoor overhead lighting is
important for visibility of steps, paths and walking surfaces.
“You don’t have to light a path completely, but it’s good to
provide light where there’s a bend, an intersection or as you
turn a corner or approach steps,” says Jeff Dross, corporate
director of education and industry trends with Kichler
Lighting in Cleveland.
2. Enhance security with outdoor lighting
To improve visibility and security, combine a motion
detector with a sconce to illuminate dark corners or areas
near entrances, says David Kitts, a designer with Hubbardton
Forge in Castleton, Vermont.
Be sure to aim lights away from the door. “Wall lanterns
on either side of the door will give your home a warm,
welcoming appearance while ensuring the safety of those
that enter,” says Kim Mager, marketing director for Hinkley
Lighting in Avon Lake, Ohio.
3. Create outdoor rooms with lighting
“Creating outdoor rooms is more difficult because you don’t
have as many features on which to direct light to define or
enhance a space other than horizontal surfaces like a deck,
patio or lawn,” says David Martin with Hubbardton Forge.
Outdoor lighting at the borders of a space is a great way
to give people barriers, both vertically and horizontally.
“Lights in a tree create something akin to a chandelier hung
in the middle of the sky, and even accent lights in the general
area of the edge of a patio, deck or porch will glaze across
the space and provide enough of a comfort level for people
to understand where things are,” says Dross.
4. Reduce glare with well-placed outdoor lighting
Light along paths should be cast downward, with fixtures
such as Dark Sky-compliant versions, that are hooded. A
variety of lighting options will create layers, allowing you
to add or subtract as necessary. If appropriate, exterior-safe
dimmers can also provide flexible control over the level of
light, as can moveable fixtures that can be added to a patio
or porch as needed.
5. Add decorative elements with outdoor lighting
Just as arbors, pergolas, patios and other outdoor elements
help to enhance the style of an outdoor space, so too can
lighting contribute to a well-designed landscape. “Welldone outdoor lighting should not only serve the functional
purposes of safety and visibility, but also focus attention to
the architectural and natural details of the space,” says Kitts.
For example, step lights are essential for safe passage, but
can also highlight molding or trim details. For a pergola over
a deck, an outdoor-compliant chandelier can be a wonderful
accent to dinnertime and a way to spotlight the overhead
structure and flowering vines. Patio lights provide ambiance
as well as illumination for cooking outside.
6. Enhance inside views with outdoor lighting
It’s often an afterthought, but enhancing the views from
inside the house is a natural fit for outdoor lighting. “You
are able to enjoy your home’s landscaping and outdoor areas
from the inside, creating a cohesive space from both inside
and out, regardless of the season,” says Mager. To do that,
layer in a variety of lights - spotlights on trees, lights dotted
along pathways, accent lights on unique landscape features.
7. Conserve energy with outdoor lighting
If you get enough light, there are solar options for outdoor
lighting, as well as LED, Energy Star and Dark Sky fixtures.
Many options are available today to help you enjoy the
benefits of good area lighting in cost-effective ways.
Revive Your Bathroom Quickly, Easily And Affordably
origin. Switching out old hardware is relatively simple and a
great way to make a dramatic change in the look of your room.
Bring new life to your bath with these tips:
* Replace old tile. Outdated tile is a common problem that makes
bathrooms look old. Replacing it with fresh new tile that is in
style will instantly give the room a modern look. Tiling is a DIY
project that anyone can tackle, with the right tools. Rent the
necessary items like a tile stripper, a tile saw and a mortar mixer
to keep your project costs down.
Remodeling projects have increased in popularity over the past
few years as homeowners have decided to improve on what they
have, rather than take a risk in the real estate market. Whether
you’re hoping to sell your home or create a more enjoyable
living space, tackle home improvement projects that make a big
impact and add value.
One of the top return-on-investment remodeling projects is
updating a bathroom. Bathroom updates even outweigh kitchen
projects in terms of getting back what you spend, according to
CNN Money. And, if you take a cost-conscious approach and do
the project yourself, your investment return will be even better.
Renting tools is a key way you can cut costs and bring new life
into your bathroom.
There are plenty of remodeling tasks that are easily accomplished
by renting tools, versus the cost of buying expensive tools or
hiring someone else to do the work. Visit www.rentalhq.com to
find an American Rental Association member rental store in your
area.
* Refresh the ceiling. Ceilings
can become dingy over time,
and you might not suspect them
as the culprit that’s making your
room feel dull. You’ll notice a
dramatic change if you liven it up
with fresh new texture and paint.
Texture sprayers are an unusual
tool for most DIY warriors to
own, but you can easily rent
one to make the job quick and
inexpensive.
* Add personality with paint.
Another simple fix that can be
done is adding a new paint color.
It’s an easy, quick and cheap
project and can totally change the
look and feel of the room. Opt
for one of your favorite colors
or scour interior design websites
and magazines to find a trendy
color that gets your attention.
* Change hardware. Some
faucets and cabinet hardware
clearly show their decade of

Chamber Chat
With Janna Bass
When thinking about the Christmas holiday, many
of us may imagine hot chocolate and the picture
of family and loved ones gathered around the fire
place laughing and sharing memories. Although we
may not have the cold weather, it’s Christmas in July
for the Clinton-Sampson Chamber of Commerce as
over the last week we have begun preparing for the
wide variety of family friendly events taking place
this holiday season with the Chamber’s Coat Closet,
Christmas in the City, and the Christmas in Clinton Parade.
Chamber Member of the Week
This year will be the 3rd year of the Chamber’s signature community event, the
Coat Closet. Last year, with the constant support of the community, sponsorship,
and community partners, together we were able to distribute over 1,000 coats
across Sampson County and surrounding counties to those in need. With this
year being the 3rd Coat Closet project, our goal is to continue to grow with
collecting and distributing more coats to support those winter needs throughout
Sampson and surrounding counties. In order for the project to continue to grow,
the Chamber needs the continued community support and partnership.
This year’s Coat Closet Kick Off Event will be November 1st from Noon-6:00pm
featuring a wide variety of local entertainment. The kick-off event will be a
fun day of local entertainment and the Chamber’s initial act in order to begin
collecting new and gently used coats. For the month of November we will focus
on coat collection while distribution will take place in December. Please keep
the Coat Closet and the Kick Off Event in mind as you have coats that you can
donate. Together, we can ensure this signature community event continues to
grow in order to continue to be helpful to Sampson County residents in need.
As Christmas in July continues, save the date for the 2nd annual Christmas
in the City. Clinton Main Street Program, City of Clinton, Sampson County
Convention & Visitors Bureau, Sampson County History Museum, Sampson Arts
Council, Sampson Community Theater, and the Clinton-Sampson Chamber of
Commerce are partnering to present the second annual Christmas in the City
on Thursday, November 29, 2012. The inaugural event last year received rave
reviews, and over 400 guests enjoyed the event’s activities, which included
museum tours, carriage and hay rides, gingerbread decorating activity, silent
auctions, a reception, and more. The proceeds of this event will support the
Sampson County History Museum and the Sampson Community Theater.

REPORT YOUR NAME CHANGE
TO SOCIAL SECURITY
By Brenda Brown
Social Security Public
Affairs Specialist
in Fayetteville, NC
This time of year, we see many weddings, and in
many cases, that means name changes. If you need
to change your name due to marriage, divorce, or any
other reason, you will want to report the change to
Social Security.
There are several reasons to report the change. First, IRS and Social Security
match computer records. If the name and Social Security number you report on
your tax return do not match the name and Social Security number in our records,
it could delay the processing of your return as well as any tax refund you might be
due.
The second reason it is important to make sure your Social Security records are upto-date is because your potential Social Security benefits are based almost entirely
on the earnings record we maintain for you. If your employer reports earnings to the
government under your new name, and your Social Security record still show your
old name, those earnings may not credit to your Social Security earnings record.
Missing earnings can lead to lower future Social Security benefits.
To change your name in Social Security’s records, you must apply for a new
Social Security card. To make the application process faster and easier, just go
to www.socialsecurity.gov/ssnumber/ and print out the form for a Social Security
card, “Application Form SS-5.” To apply for a replacement card, the same form is
required. The application form also tells you what evidence you will need to submit.
Complete the one-page form and bring or mail it to your local Social Security office
with proper documentation. All documents must be originals or certified copies and
must have information that clearly identifies you, like your date and place of birth.
The application includes information on what types of identity and documentation
for specific cases, and what sorts of documents we can accept.
The application process is easy, and described well (along with other things you may
want to know about your Social Security card and number) at www.socialsecurity.
