In a press release dated May 20th, 2015 from the Office of the District Attorney Ernie Lee,
DA Ernie Lee has concluded that the officer involved shooting death of Jason Lee Evans
was justified due to the circumstances of the case. Below is a copy of the entire press release and findings of facts of the investigation.
“On Sunday, April 12, 2015, Jason Lee Evans, age 32 years, of Harrells, North Carolina
was shot and killed by Sampson County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Louis M. High, Jr. This
occurred on Highway 242 near Salemburg, North Carolina. After reviewing the investigation with the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation, it is clear that Evans’ death,
while tragic, was justified because Evans’ actions caused Deputy High to reasonably believe it necessary to use deadly force to protect the lives of Deputy High and Sgt. Edward
Vann of the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office. The investigation revealed that prior to the
shooting; Evans had committed robbery with a dangerous weapon of the Han-Dee Hugo’s
convenience store located at 19 North Ingold Avenue, Garland, North Carolina, was armed
with a sawed-off shotgun, had fired the shotgun at the Han-Dee Hugo’s, and had engaged
in a high speed chase traveling in excess of 100 mph

Sampson County Emergency Medical Services receives
American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline EMS Recognition
Sampson County Emergency Medical Services has received the American
Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline®
EMS Gold Award for implementing
quality improvement measures for the
treatment of patients who experience severe heart attacks.
Every year, more than 250,000 people
experience a STEMI, or ST Elevation
Myocardia Infarction, a type of heart
attack caused by a complete blockage
of blood flow to the heart that requires
timely treatment. To prevent death, it’s
critical to restore blood flow as quickly as possible, either by
surgically opening the blocked vessel or by giving clot-busting medication.
sponse system that alerts hospitals. We applaud Sampson County EMS
for achieving this award that shows it meets evidence-based guidelines
in the treatment of people who have severe heart attacks.”
Unfortunately, a significant number don’t receive prompt
reperfusion therapy, which is critical in restoring blood flow.
Mission: Lifeline seeks to save lives by closing the gaps that
separate STEMI patients from timely access to appropriate
treatments. Mission: Lifeline’s EMS recognition program
recognizes those emergency responders for their efforts in
improving STEMI systems of care and improving the quality
of life for these patients.
“Sampson County Emergency Medical Services, along with our partner volunteer rescue organizations, are dedicated to providing superior
pre-hospital emergency care to the citizens of Sampson County. The
American Heart Association’s Mission: Lifeline program is helping
us accomplish that by implementing processes for improving STEMI
systems of care, and thus improving the quality of care for all STEMI
patients,” said Ronald Bass, Director of EMS. “We are pleased to be
recognized for our dedication and achievements in emergency medical
care for STEMI patients.”
Emergency medical system providers are vital to the success of Mission: Lifeline. EMS agencies provide access to
12-lead ECG machines (devices that measures the electrical
activity of the heartbeat and can help medical personnel determine if a heart attack has occurred), and follow protocols
derived from American Heart Association/American College
of Cardiology guidelines. The correct tools and training allow EMS providers to rapidly identify the STEMI, promptly notify the medical center, and trigger and early response
from the awaiting hospital personnel.
Agencies that receive the Mission: Lifeline Gold award
have demonstrated at least 75 percent compliance for each
required achievement measure for two years and treated at
least eight STEMI patients for each year.
“EMTs and paramedics play a vital part in the system of
care for those who have heart attacks,” said Nancy Brown,
Chief Executive Officer of the American Heart Association/
American Stroke Association. “Since they often are the first
medical point of contact, they can shave precious minutes of
life-saving treatment time by activating the emergency re-

Intermediate, were the three person team that represented Sampson County
Emergency Services for this year’s competition. The competition scenario consisted of four patients, (two were critical, one was DOA, and the other was
not critical). The team had to complete a rapid trauma assessment, manage
life threatening bleeding, breathing, give medications and perform other advanced life support skills while continuing to manage the patient until further
help could arrive.

from Garland to near Roseboro. After using
stop sticks to cause Evans to stop his vehicle on
Highway 242 between Reeda Branch Road and Corinth Church Road, Evans exited his
vehicle in the presence of two deputies with his sawed-off shotgun. Evans appeared armed
and dangerous. Sgt. Vann warned Evans to drop his shotgun but Evans kept the shotgun in
his right hand toward his own head and refused to follow the commands of law enforcement
to put the shotgun down. Deputy High fired his law enforcement issued 9mm handgun
hitting Evans four times. Although tragic that a life was lost, the shooting death of Evans
is found to be justified to protect the safety and lives of Deputy High and Sgt. Vann from
potential harm as perceived by Deputy High.
SHOOTING, cont. from 1
On April 13, 2015, I was contacted by Sheriff Jimmy Thornton of the Sampson County
Sheriff’s Office in reference to a shooting incident involving an armed robbery suspect that
occurred on April 12, 2015. Sheriff Thornton indicated that the SBI had been contacted
to investigate this officer related shooting. The deputy was placed on paid administrative
leave pending the investigation. The SBI dispatched agents to Highway 242 to investigate
the shooting.
On April 14, 2015, SA Bradley Williams of the SBI made his initial contact with me. After speaking with Deputy High on April 22, 2015, SA Williams met with me in Clinton at
the District Attorney’s Office on April 27, 2015. On April 27, 2015, SA Williams briefed
me on the shooting incident and after being briefed, I requested additional information
be provided to me, specifically any reports related to the armed robbery of the Han-Dee
Hugo’s convenience store that occurred on April 12, 2015 as well as other information.
The afternoons of April 27, 2015 and April 29, 2015, I was in telephone contact with SA
Williams about this investigation. The Han-Dee Hugo’s had a video surveillance system
and on May 8, 2015, I viewed the video of the armed robbery at the Han-Dee Hugo’s. The
Sampson County Sheriff’s Office patrol vehicle of Sgt. Vann had a video camera on the
vehicle that recorded the high speed pursuit and shooting incident and I viewed the video
on May 8, 2015 at the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office and the Sampson County Sheriff’s
Office. On May 12, 2015, May 13, 2015, and May 14, 2015, I was in telephone contact with
SA Williams about the investigation. On May 19, 2015, I met with a family member of Jason
Evans and informed him of the evidence from the SBI investigation and my findings based
upon the evidence and the law. I further informed Sheriff Thornton of findings based upon
the evidence from the SBI investigation and the law.
The evidence shows that on April 12, 2015 at approximately 11:30 p.m. Evans entered the
Han-Dee Hugo’s convenience store in Garland, North Carolina armed with a sawed-off
shotgun. The shotgun was a single barrel 410 Revelation shotgun. The shotgun was unlawful to possess in North Carolina due to the length of the barrel and is deemed by statute to
be a weapon of mass destruction. At the time of the robbery, there were two clerks present
at the store. A video camera system in the store captures the robbery in progress. As Evans
entered the convenience store he fired one shot from his shotgun into the ceiling and told the
clerks he wanted the registers emptied. Evans reloaded the shotgun while in the store. Evans obtained money including both cash and change during the robbery. At approximately
11:32 p.m., one of the clerks was able to activate the silent alarm. At approximately 11:34
p.m., Sampson County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the scene. The exterior video
camera system at the convenience store shows Evans leaving the convenience store. The
video records him leaving the business in a white four-door Chevrolet Malibu.
At approximately 11:41 p.m., Sgt. Vann of the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office observed
the white four-door Chevrolet Malibu on Highway 411 and began his pursuit. He observed
the white Chevrolet Malibu as the Malibu passed him in the opposite direction. Sgt. Vann
radioed that he observed the Chevrolet Malibu and turned his vehicle around to begin his
pursuit. Speeds of the vehicles were in excess of 100 mph. The pursuit is recorded on a
camera mounted on Sgt. Vann’s patrol vehicle. At approximately 11:43 p.m., Deputy High
placed stop sticks in the highway in an attempt to stop Evans’ vehicle. Evans’ vehicle struck
the stop sticks and eventually one of his tires began to shred. Deputy High and Sgt. Vann
continued their pursuit of Evans. Evans was seen reaching into his backseat by Sgt. Vann.
The tire on Evans’ vehicle continued to shred and he was eventually riding on the exposed
rim. Evans finally stopped between Reeda Branch Road and Corinth Church Road. This
was approximately 20 miles from the convenience store in Garland.
Upon stopping, the in car camera video shows Evans exiting his vehicle with his shotgun
in his right hand. Sgt. Vann repeatedly yelled at Evans to put the weapon down. Evans
continued to move away from his car and in the direction of the deputies. Evans pointed
his shotgun at his own head and refused to follow law enforcement commands. Evans did
not fire his shotgun. Deputy High told SA Williams that he observed Evans moving toward
Deputy High to interfere with his cover behind the patrol vehicle. Deputy High said he felt
threatened by Evans movements. Evans failed to follow the law enforcement commands.
At approximately 11:49 p.m., Deputy High fired his law enforcement issued Sig Sauer P226
9mm service handgun at Evans firing six rounds. Evans was struck four times. High’s
handgun had a total of 15 rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber. A total of six
rounds were fired by Deputy High. Sgt. Vann pulled his service handgun but did not fire his
weapon. Evans was killed at the scene. Both deputies cautiously approached Evans. They
both checked his vehicle and there were no other persons in the Chevrolet Malibu. Six 9mm
shell casings were recovered at the scene. The sawed-off shotgun was found next to Evans
and was loaded with one shotgun shell.
On April 14, 2015, Dr. F.C. Barr, Jr., M.E., conducted an autopsy upon Evans at Sampson
Regional Medical Center. The autopsy showed that four of the six shots fired by the deputy
struck Evans. Two of these gunshot wounds were superficial with one grazing Evans’ right
forearm and the second was a through and through gunshot wound of his left arm. Neither
of these wounds were life threatening. One gunshot wound was to Evans’ right neck and
another gunshot wound was to his head. Dr. Barr indicated that the gunshot to the head
was lethal. Dr. Barr determined the cause of death to be a gunshot wound to the head. Two
bullets were recovered from Evans during the autopsy. The bullets were provided to law

enforcement as evidence.
On April 22, 2015, Deputy High was interviewed by SA Williams at the Sampson County
Sheriff’s Office. He voluntarily provided an oral statement consistent with the video
recording of the pursuit and the shooting. Deputy High told SA Williams that he felt
threatened by Evans as he moved from the white Chevrolet Malibu across the road and
in a direction towards the deputies. Deputy High felt that his cover by his vehicle was
being compromised as Evans moved in his direction in the road. Deputy High stated that
he felt threatened by the actions of Evans and was afraid of harm to himself or Sgt. Vann.
Pursuant to North Carolina General Statute 15A-401, when making an arrest a law enforcement officer is justified in using deadly physical force upon another person to defend
himself or a third person from what he reasonably believes to be the use or imminent use
of deadly physical force. Furthermore, the general rules of self-defense and defense of
others in North Carolina allow for the use of deadly force when the individual actually,
or honestly, believed in the need to defend himself or others from death or great bodily injury and the individual’s belief is reasonable in light of the circumstances as they
appeared to him at the time. Clearly, from the facts and circumstances of this case, the
officer was justified in using deadly force to defend himself and others from death or great
bodily injury.
A federal judge in North Carolina has ruled that “it is the duty of a law enforcement
officer to stand his ground, carry through on the performance of his duties, and meet
force with force, so long as he acts in good faith and uses no more force than reasonably
appears necessary to effectuate his duties and save himself from harm.” Law enforcement officers are required to instantaneously evaluate and employ force against possible
criminal suspects to thwart apparent dangers to citizens and themselves. Officers must
perceive, evaluate, decide and then act often in a matter of seconds.
The perceived danger to the officer must be only apparent, not actual, in order to justify
use of deadly force. Apparent danger is such that it would cause a reasonable person to
believe that he was in danger of death or great bodily harm. Although there is evidence
of actual danger to Deputy High, under the law there was also apparent danger. From
the evidence, it reasonably appeared to Deputy High there was sufficient basis for self-defense and defense of third persons, his fellow deputy. The facts in this case demonstrate
the presence of apparent danger to Deputy High. A person may exercise such force if he
believes it to be necessary and has reasonable grounds for such belief. An officer acting
in self-defense is presumed to have acted in good faith. Federal courts have held that
“The Constitution simply does not require police to gamble with their lives in the face of
serious threat of harm.”
Based upon my review of the facts of this case, I have determined that the shooting of
Jason Lee Evans on April 12, 2015 was justified to protect the safety and lives of Deputy
High and Sgt. Vann as the threat appeared to Deputy High. Deputy High perceived an
apparent threat, evaluated the situation in split seconds, made a decision and acted.
Deputy High’s actions appear reasonable under all the circumstances of this case. From
all the evidence, Deputy High initially exercised restraint in the face of imminent danger
as Evans exited his vehicle with a loaded weapon in a manner that could reasonably be
deemed as threatening. Deputy High faced apparent danger as perceived by him. As
tragic as this incident is with the loss of life, Deputy High nonetheless was justified in
defending himself from death or great bodily injury and in defending the life of fellow
officer, Sgt. Vann. There is insufficient evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to show that
Deputy High acted in a manner that was not consistent with his perception of an apparent
threat.
I appreciate the thorough investigation by the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation and the assistance of the Sampson County Sheriff’s Office. ~ District Attorney Ernie

Clinton Budget Proposes Slight Rate Increases
As part of the annual budget debate for the City of Clinton,
city administrators have proposed slight rate increases for
both Water and Sewer and Garbage collection fees. And while
those rate increases will have little impact on households, it
will boost revenues for the City of Clinton by a projected
$77,000 per year.
loss of single stream recycling revenue that was accounted for
when the city implemented curbside recycling. “There is no
changes in the commercial rates.”
Clinton City Manager Shawn Purvis explained, “Our
commercial rates are already at the high end of the spectrum.
We haven’t adjusted them in quite a while. If you compare
them to nearby rates we are in the middle to upper side, while
our residential rates are on the low side compared to others.”
Total impact for an average household in Clinton for both
rate increases (Water and Sewer combined with Garbage) is
projected at $1.22 cent per month, or $14.64 per year. For
larger households the effect of both proposed rate increases
would equate to $1.62 per month, or $19.44 per year on
average.
While not yet final, the proposed rate increases presented at
a recent budget workshop would be expected to be presented
to council for final review by May 29th, with a public hearing
set for Tuesday, June 2nd prior to official adoption of the
budget June 16th.
The rate increase proposed for Water and Sewer is set at 1.5%.
Accounting Operations Manager Kristin Stafford explained,
“The effect on small water users (<300 cf) is just 47 cents per
month, which equates to $5.64 per year.”
Council members Steve Stefanovich and Marcus Becton,
with Mayor Lew Starling discuss budget issues with City
Manager Shawn Purvis
“The average household using 800 cubic feet,” added
Stafford, “is 72 cents per month or $8.64 per year. And the
large household at 1600 cubic feet (usage) is a difference
of $1.12 per month, meaning a $13.44 increase per year for
those users.”

To begin the show, JW Simmons asks Shawn Purvis to let everyone know how many people
are employed by the City of Clinton, and what the average annual budget is for the city.
Purvis replies, “We have, on average, 170 to 175 employees, and about 50 of those are
part-time or seasonal. We have part-time fire fighters, and we have a few other part-time
permanent positions. And then we have some seasonal employees such as life guards or
others in Parks and Recreation.”
“But we have 125 full time employees with 25 of those on the Water and Sewer side and 100
on the general fund side. Speaking of the budget, general fund budget, we recently put a
balanced budget before city council of about 8.7 million dollars; and Water and Sewer about
4.7 million dollars. So you’re looking at 14-15 million dollars by the time you count some
other small funds here and there.”
Purvis explains that there is to be a public hearing on June 2nd one the proposed budget,
and he hopes the city council will approve the budget by mid-June. “We feel it’s a responsible
budget,” adds Purvis. “It keeps everything in line with the trends we’ve been following. And
of course there’s no tax rate increase, which everyone likes to hear.”
“We’re doing what we can to manage our resources properly,” say Purvis, “and be effective,
fast fair and efficient. Now we face challenges in that, and I think we’ll end up talking about
some of those today.”
JW Simmons explains that the City of Clinton operates under a council/manager form of
government, and he asks Purvis to explain that. “In North Carolina,” explains Purvis, “you
have two basic forms of government. You can have mayor/council or council/manager; and
that’s typical across the country with a few modifications here or there. Not quite half the
cities and towns in North Carolina operate as council/manager.”
Purvis goes on to say, “Basically what that means in a nutshell is the council - think of them
as the board of directors for a company - and the manager is appointed by them to run the
company. So in effect, the manager would be the CEO of the organization. They set the
policy and say what direction they want to go, and I work with staff and the community to
put practices in place to fulfill those policies, make sure council is happy with it and carry out
the day-to-day management of the city.”
Next, Simmons asks Purvis to discuss his feelings on the ETJ (Extraterritorial jurisdiction).
Purvis begins, “The ETJ or extraterritorial jurisdiction, there are different levels across the
state. For our size we are allowed to go 1 mile past our city limits, and all it is, is planning
control. It’s only planning control, no other city ordinances. And it serves several purposes.
One, as I said is planning – the long range planning as the city grows. The other part is that
it’s important to protect the citizens’ right at the city lines; to make sure their rights are
protected and their concerns are taken care of.”
“The flip side of that,” says Purvis, “is what about the people just outside the city limits. Well
the city is making decisions for those just outside the limits… One, that’s why there is a
restriction. A town can’t just go out as far as they may want. We are restricted to 1 mile. Two,
our planning and zoning board is required to have at least two members from the ETJ.”
“So there is representation from the actual extraterritorial jurisdiction on our planning and
zoning board. They are there to express concerns for those people living in the area as well
as vote on recommendations that go before council,” adds Purvis.
Purvis explains that most ETJ areas are made up of residential and agricultural areas.
“Most of the time those are areas that you are trying to protect. For instance, if you have a
neighborhood right on the city limit lines, and there is some land in the ETJ just beyond it, if
the city doesn’t control the ETJ and someone comes along and wants to put a nuclear waste
facility there, the process would leave out those people just at the line.”
“We are fortunate in Sampson County that zoning is there,” adds Purvis. “But there are a lot of
places where county zoning doesn’t exist. Those citizens have lost that right of protection for
safeguarding their property, the rights on property values and public health and safety. So it
is as much to protect those citizens at the city limit as it is to prepare for growth for the city.”
Purvis also explains that annexation is a difficult process for a city. “It’s almost always
completely voluntary where businesses or residents petition to be brought into the city
limits. Involuntary can be done, but it is extremely difficult. You have to do it on a two year
cycle with elections, and referendum with a certain percentage of people voting to approve.
So it’s not just the city wanting to grow, grow, and grow.”
Purvis adds, “You have to make business decision about that as well. Density is a lot more
efficient and effective. You look for infill before annexation, but there are times when
annexation makes sense. When you have neighborhoods or industry that want services
extended to it. The ETJ helps prepare for that growth.”

WHICH OF THESE
Neuropathy SYMPTOMS
SUFFER FROM?
DO YOU
Reduced Blood Flow
Damaged Nerve
If you suffer from a Single one of these
Tortuous Symptoms - Numbness,
Tingling or Sharp Nerve Pain
- Then the Facts Below may be the
Most Important You have ever read in
YOUR LIFE
Call TODAY for Special Offer,
First 25 Callers!

Neuropathy affects every
part of your life walking,
sitting, and even sleeping.
Maybe you’ve had multiple tests, only to find out
no one has any idea what you have. Maybe you’ve
even been put on a drug with heavy side effects.
My name is Dr. Tim Kosterman, owner of Kosterman Chirorpractic Center. I’ve been helping people
with neuropathy and nerve problems for years.
More than 20 million Americans suffer from peripheral neuropathy, a problem caused by damage
to the nerves that supply your arms and legs. This
painful condition interferes with your body’s ability
to transmit messages to your muscles, skin, joints,
or internal organs. If ignored or mistreated, neuropathy can lead to irreversible health conditions.
Why not get help by those trained to correct
the major cause of peripheral neuropathy?
Data from the National Board of Chiropractic
Examiners’ Job Analysis of Chiropractic lists arm
and leg neuropathy as the second most common
nerve problem treated by chiropractors. Often
neuropathy is caused by a degenerating spine
pressing on the nerve roots. This can happen in
any of the vertebral joints from the neck all the
way down to the tail bone.
The Single Most Important
Solution To Your Neuropathy:
By using gentle techniques, I’m able to release
the pressure that has built up on the nerve. This
allows the nerve to heal and the symptoms to
go away.
It Promotes Rapid Healing
You should seriously consider an approach called
spinal decompression combined with laser
therapy.
Non-surgical spinal decompression is a new
technology that can improve disc herniations. It
creates a vacuum effect on the disc, which pulls
the disc back into its normal position and brings in
a fresh blood supply to promote healing.
Spinal decompression treatments are very
gentle. In fact, every once and awhile I even
catch a patient sleeping during sessions. You’ll
simply lie on your stomach or back, whichever is
comfortable, and then a specialized belt is gently
put around your waist. We’ll set the machine to
focus on your problem area – then the advanced
decompression computer system will do the rest.
Most patients feel better with just a few treatments, and best of all there will be no dangerous
drugs, no invasive procedures, and no painful
exercises.
The Class IV Therapeutic Laser is an outpatient,
non-surgical procedure, often used in physical
therapy and sports medicine to accelerate the
healing process. It offers non-invasive treatment
to promote healing for those who suffer from pain
in muscles, nerves, and joints, like that associated
with chronic pain. This same laser is used by
professional sports teams including the New York
Yankees and Cincinnati Bengals.
This pain-free, non-surgical approach works by
stimulating the body’s natural healing processes,
providing pain relief and reducing injury damage.
This leading edge technology has an impressive
success rate of returning patients to work, sports
and competitive activities, as well as everyday life.
Patients treated with Laser Therapy often show a
higher level of function, both during and after the
treatment period. The therapeutic laser provides a
tremendous alternative for those facing surgery.

Following Symptoms?
• Pins and needles feeling
• Numbness in the hands or feet
• Tingling or burning sensations

Sincerely,
Dr. Tim Kosterman, D.C.
P.S. At our office, we have
specialized treatment programs
for treating patients who suffer
from neuropathy. Why suffer
with years of misery?
That’s no way to live, not when there could be an
easy solution to your problem. Don’t live in pain
when we may have the solution you’ve been looking for all along.
Here’s what our patients have to say:
“One day while walking into a restaurant, I started
to experience pain in my feet, and when I was finished
eating, I could barely walk back to my car. I hurt
for four days, and the pain started going into my legs
and knees. I also started experiencing numbness in
my toes and was worried I was going to fall. My good
friend told me to call Kosterman Chiropractic to see
if they could help and I did. Within 3 visits, I could
tell a difference. My feet didn’t hurt as bad, I started
getting the feeling in my toes again, and my legs quit
hurting. By the time I was finished with my treatment
plan, my feet felt great and I was able to walk around
easier”. - S. Hunter
“I’ve been having pain, tingling, and burning in
my toes, feet, and legs for years. I’ve tried medicine
and injections with no help. My feet and legs would
hurt me so bad at night I couldn’t sleep. I had to move
my legs constantly to get some relief. I had been to Dr.
Kosterman years ago with my back, with great results,
and decided to come and see if he could help me. He
did a thorough evaluation on my feet and legs, and
made a treatment plan especially for me. Within a few
visits, my feet and legs started feeling better. I am now
sleeping through the night, without any pain in my
feet and toes. I would definitely recommend coming
to Kosterman Chiropractic for any of these problems.”

Memorial Day Celebration
To Be Held In Clinton
Sampson County To Remember Those
Who Have Served To Keep Us Free
The Sampson County Veterans Service Office and Veterans Council are getting ready
to hold its Annual Memorial Day Celebration on May 25, 2015 at the Sampson County
Veterans Memorial Park located at 200 Northeast Blvd. in Clinton. The event starts at
10:00 AM.
Posting of Colors will be presented by the VFW Post 7547 Color Guard which includes
Alvin Herring, Russell Raines, Andrea Goodman, Marshall Thornton, and Walter Raynor.
Service Flag Bearers include Army: Willie Mitchell, Navy: James Britt, Air Force: Jonathan Gardner, USMC: Darryl Price, and USCG: Avon Jones. According to Ann Knowles,
Veterans Service Officer, the keynote speaker at this year’s event will be T/SGT Charles
Curtis (Retired). The “Laying of the Wreath” and “Calling of the Names” will be presented by Tex Howard, President of the Sampson County Veterans Council and Darryl Price,
Vice President of the Sampson County Veterans Council. The Firing Squad will consist
of Glenn Bass, James Britt, Daryl Price, Avon Jones and Willie Mitchel and Renee’ Deramus. The Closing of “Taps” will be performed by Charles Curtis, Commander VFW
Post 7547.
Mrs. Knowles noted, “We will lay a carnation for each name that is called that gave their
life for their country. It is a time that our family and friends can visit in the park and remember their soldier or loved one.”
“We have had a Memorial Day celebration in Clinton since 1977,” stated Knowles. “We
have not always had the event we have now. Sometimes it was just a wreath laying at the
county courthouse monuments or at a cemetery or the community college. But we always
remember those who did not come back and gave their all.”
“We usually have a good turnout, anywhere from as many as 200 to as few as 75. But they
are there to give honor. No matter how big or small, the program is always great. This is
a way that Sampson County citizens can show their respect to the ones who lost their lives
for their County and Country. It tells all who live here, that our Soldiers and Veterans are
important to us. We stop on Memorial Day to remember the sacrifice they made, so we
can go about our lives each and every day as free people; with the right to worship in our
churches and not be afraid of being taken prisoner. Even to the ones who protest our service, spit on our flag or burn our Bibles, the soldier fought to give them the right to express
themselves. On Memorial Day, the citizens of our county know that there is going to be
a memorial service to honor our soldiers that gave their lives. They know that this is their
service and they are welcome. We want the families of our soldiers who lost their lives
to know we mourn with them and care for the family left behind.”
Mrs. Ann explained why this day is so important to her, “Memorial Day to me is a day
to stop and remember the service member who lost their life from the Civil War to the
present War. It is a day to remember their mother, father, spouse, children, sister, and
brother that does not have their loved one home with them to celebrate a holiday, to go
swimming, fishing or shopping or to just have a family day. It is a day that we tell these
families we are sorry for their loss. It should not be one day a year but every day. It is a
day that I think about the wars that have called our men and women to go to a foreign land
to fight, and the hardship and suffering that they endured. I think about the veterans today
who still morn for their brothers or sisters that lost their life in service and who carry the
images with them daily and how it affects their life. I think of our leaders of this great nation who get so wrapped up in power that they forget it was the soldier that fought to keep
our country the home of the free and the brave. I think we forget that our freedom is not
free but is paid for by the price
of blood from our soldiers. They
forget that we have an obligation
to our servicemen and women
who died for our freedom to continue the fight. We have an obligation to maintain our freedom
for our children and the future
generations.
To me, it is a day for me bow my
head and pray for those lost and their families. and May God Bless the Widows and Orphans.
We will never forget the sacrifice that your loved one made to keep us free.”
Refreshments will be provided by Ladies Auxiliary, VFW Post 7547 for all that attend and the
organizers urge, “Please spend a few minutes with us in the park to remember those who gave
their lives to make this country free. We share your sorrow in the loss of your loved one and
share your pride in their service to our country.”
Whatever your plans are on Memorial Day, whether to spend time with friends and family or to
attend a Memorial Day Celebration, make sure you take a moment to remember the servicemen
and women that gave the ultimate sacrifice for your freedom.

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy
and regenerate itself or “charge up” to its healthy state.
When our cells don’t do the functions they are supposed
to, they decrease in their ability to heal injured tissue in
the body.
By Dr. Tim
Kosterman
of Kosterman
Chiropractic
Center of Clinton
All energy in the world
is
electromagnetic
in
nature, and our body uses
electromagnetic signals to
communicate with other parts of the body. It is estimated
that we have 70 trillion cells in the body, and each one of
those cells talks to each other through electromagnetic
energy. Disruption of these energy fields can lead to
decreased cellular health, which may lead to a decrease
in bodily functions.
Are you suffering from physical or mental fatigue?
Do you have a chronic health condition that is decreasing
your ability to do activities you enjoy?
Do you have an acute or chronic injury that has become
inflamed?
If you answered yes to any of the following conditions,
pulsed electromagnetic field therapy could be what
you need to help improve the quality of your life and
achieve better health. The cell has many different tasks to
perform in the body depending on what type of cell it is.
However, all cells have fundamental tasks that every cell
must do. The cells basic function is to generate energy
to eliminate waste, repair damaged areas of the body,
An exciting new approach to cellular health is called
pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, also known as
PEMF. This has been used successfully for nearly 50 years
in European countries and has recently been introduced
to America. PEMF therapy provides benefit for many
problems found in the body. Since all cells can gain from
this therapy, PEMF therapy helps increase circulation in
the body creating more oxygen and nutrients. It also
helps to decrease both acute and chronic inflammation.
PEMF therapy can enhance muscle function and decrease
pain in the body. Some other positive benefits include:
slows the progression of arthritis, boosts the immune
system, improves sleep, reduces blood pressure, helps
liver and nerve function, increases bone healing, and
many other healthy effects.
Since PEMF therapy is natural, it can actually be used to
help restore the proper energy of the cell that electric
smog destroys. Electric smog is created in our bodies
from power lines, cell phones, computers, microwaves,
and other electronic technologies we have created.
You may have heard that some of these magnetic fields
are bad for you and these low level magnetic fields can
damage the body. Research has shown these harmful
energies create electric smog which modify our genes
and damage healthy cells.
The exciting news about pulsed electromagnetic
field therapy is most people can benefit from it, and
many people use it to help improve overall health and
eliminate pain and inflammation. Our clinic has invested
in this technology and we are seeing patients respond
favorably to PEMF therapy.

FAITH
Have I Got A Story To Share With You!
I’m not the sharpest knife in the
drawer. On the other hand, I’m
not a birdbrain either. Yet I’m
having trouble finding an answer
to this question. “Is a chicken a
bird?” Even after going online
in search of the answer, I’m still
baffled. So dear reader, if you
know the correct answer, please
tell me. In the meantime, here
is this week’s story.
… the fact is, our chickens love being as free as a bird!
Being set free has energized the chickens to the point
that now they all strut around with their heads held high
and several of them have started ‘talking’! Nowadays
whenever I go outside I’m usually greeted by at least one
of the chickens. Yes, I said greeted. And I talk right back
to them as I scratch their little heads or stroke their little
backs. I never knew that chickens could interact so much
with humans. It used to be that only the dogs followed me
around the yard. Now the chickens follow me too. It’s like
they’re feathered dogs. (Smile)
In 2013 I wrote about Miss Izzie …
my grandson’s ‘talking’ chicken.
Perhaps you recall the story. If
not, here’s an excerpt. “With her
deep red and burgundy colored
feathers Miss Izzie is certainly
a beautiful Rhode Island Red
chicken. And she knows it too.
Like a diva, Miss Izzie holds her
head up high and struts around the chicken coop like she
owns it. There’s no doubt about it, Miss Izzie rules the roost.”
Two years ago when I wrote the story about Miss Izzie I
thought she was an exceptionally outgoing and intelligent
chicken. But since setting the chickens free … since
allowing them to live “free range” style … it’s plain to see
that all our other chickens were, and are, just as “special” as
Miss Izzie. Freedom is liberating. Freedom is empowering.
Freedom is wonderful. I make these statements not

of the change in me. You see I used to be cooped up,
caged, and imprisoned by sin. As a captive of sin I lost
sight of myself, of my value, and of my specialness as

A LITTLE HELP PLEASE!
There is so much dishonesty in the world today.
Technology makes our lives easier, so it is said. It also
opens another avenue for dishonest people to find ways to
steal what is not theirs.
I could not if I tried come up with the things thieves
find to do to steal. You can’t help but wonder what they could
accomplish in their lives if they used all that brainpower to
better themselves.
We must constantly be on the look out for scams,
identity thieves, etc. We have to be extra careful with all of
our personal information. Even something simple can have
dire consequences. We have to be on guard and question
everything.
So it was with an incident that occurred with me
recently. I received a phone call that I suspected might be a
scam. So I called my phone company and told the pleasant
lady that answered the phone that I wanted to speak to
someone concerning a possible fraudulent phone call. She
put me through to another lady.
I explained to this new lady why I was calling. I
asked her if they could check the phone number that had
called and see if it was listed with a legitimate business.
“No,” she said. “We have no way to do that.”
Surprised at her answer, I reminded her nicely that
we live in a day and age of fraudulent scams, and that I could
scarcely believe that my phone company had no way to help
in that kind of situation.
“No, Mam, we don’t. You can call the N.C. Attorney
General’s office and talk to them,” she said. She didn’t seem
particularly concerned or even very interested. “Fine,” I said.
“Do you have the number?”
“No, it’s listed in your directory,” she answered.
Shaking my head in disbelief, I hung up.
I cannot believe that my phone company at the
bare minimum does not at least have information at the
ready to advise their customers what to do if they receive a
suspect all. Something like: You need to report this call to
the N.C. Attorney General’s office at this number and ask for
this department - or SOMETHING. The response I received
was unbelievable. I do pay this company a monthly bill after
all.
But, to beat it all, I called a friend and told her what
happened. She is very good with a computer. She asked
me for the number that called me. She went to her computer
and in less than two she told me the name of the company
the phone number was listed to, and that the company was
located in Los Angeles, CA.
She then read me several comments people
had written about this company. All of them saying how
annoying they were, calling back-to-back several times in a
Hospitality
Hebrews 13:1-2 – Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have
entertained angels without knowing it.
If you have not eaten at
Alfredo’s in downtown
Clinton, you are missing quite
an experience. While known
By Vanessa W. Polk
for its tasty authentic Italian
foods, what’s also endearing
about Alfredo’s is their service. The staff epitomizes the biblical
meaning of hospitality –“welcoming strangers.” From the
moment customers walk into the establishment to the moment
they leave, each staff person creates a connection and build
relationships with patrons that sends the message: “You matter
to us and we are here to serve you.” This spirit of kindness at
Alfredo’s is no chance occurrence. It’s intentional. It is the
seasoning they use to flavor everything they do. Whether it’s
through offering fine cuisine with quality service or exceptional
service recovery when a mishap occurs, they understand
that hospitality [kindness, friendliness, attentiveness] drives
consumer satisfaction –repeat customers and referrals.
Okay, so you’re reading this and thinking, “I don’t own a
business what does hospitality has to do with me?” Well, I
am glad you asked. According to the text, the Hebrew writer
is not giving a presentation to a group of business owners at a
conference or staff development retreat. The writer is speaking
to individuals, second generation believers, who did not have a
full understanding of the biblical truths of love and kindness. As
critical as hospitality is to building relationships, it seems odd
that Christians, back then and even now, must be admonished to
be loving, kind and welcoming to others, especially strangers.
Sure, we preach about it and listen to training sessions about
service excellence, but are we serious, diligent practitioners
of hospitality or customer-centered service? Are our homes,
workplaces, schools and faith communities better because of the
way we treat others?
The Spirit of Hospitality opens doors that produce true
community. In the ancient African philosophy of Ubuntu, it
forms a human connection that says, “I am, because we are.”
It creates a healing atmosphere and produces tangible acts of
kindness, respect and compassion. When someone comes in
your presence, it is just like they have come into your home,
Church, business or office. The space within an arm distance
of you and another person is the space that welcomes or rejects.
How individuals or businesses treat others determines whether
people will experience them as a cactus or a comforter. Every
human being is important to God and when we are dismissive,
disrespect or unkind to any of God’s creations, we are being
dismissive, disrespect and unkind to God. People want to feel
valued, and they (we) tend to go to places and connect with
people who make them (us) feel special.
The heart of hospitality is more than the hospitality industry or
church welcoming projects, as Christians we are obligated to
practice it as a spiritual discipline, as an expression of our faith.
Our God is a God of hospitality; God extends to us his grace
and gives us new mercies for each new day, the very less we can
do in return is to offer genuine kindness to others. In the words
of Henri Nouwen, hospitality is the offering of a space where
change happens, a space where strangers can enter and become
friends, and a space where people remember your face, know
your name and are glad to see you. As Alfredo’s offers a space
for dining and building relationships, our individual presence
should offer others a sacred space where healing, comfort,
empowerment, happiness, encouragement, confrontation and
transformation can happen. Offer hospitality to one another
without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gifts you
have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace
in its various forms. – 1 Peter 4:9-10
Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; the
fellowship of kindred minds to that above. We share our mutual
woes, our mutual burdens bear; and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear. - John Fawcett, Hymn #358, The New
National Baptist Hymnal

Psalms for the Soul
Written by
Linda Herring
The Bible speaks to us
but the Psalms speak
for us. Psalm 22:19
says, “But you, Lord, do
not be far from me. You
are my strength, come
quickly to help me.” My
most often used prayer is Lord help me,
please. Psalm 22 predicts the suffering of
Israel’s Messiah, when He took these words
upon His lips. This does not mean that the
words had no emotional value for Him. It is
clear from the scriptures that Jesus had a
rich and intimate prayer life. He often secluded Himself for the purpose of prayer.
His prayers leading up to the moment of
suffering were both intimate and frank. Jesus provides a model to follow when we
feel forsaken. When we pray to the Father,
we should express ourselves truthfully. He
already knows what is in our hearts and is
aware of our words before they are spoken.
He will not be shocked by our honesty. Just
tell Him all about it. You will feel better and
He will answer. Psalm 22 begins with a cry of
despair and concludes with an affirmation
of faith. Faith in God. Do not let the stresses
of the day steal your Psalm. Contact me at

n ancient grain with roots that trace back as far as 8000 B.C., sorghum is seeing a resurgence
as demand for non-GMO and gluten-free food grows.
Sorghum is an excellent substitute for those with Celiac disease or gluten intolerance, and can be
used to make both leavened and unleavened breads, various fermented and unfermented beverages
and can be steamed, popped, flaked or consumed as a whole grain or syrup.
“Sorghum is light in color, has a pleasing texture and tastes similar to wheat, which makes it
perfect for use in gluten-free baking,” said gluten-free expert and cookbook author Carol Fenster.
Sorghum also provides iron, calcium, potassium, as well as polycosinol, which research has
shown to lower serum cholesterol and may improve heart health.
Contrary to the perception that some grains lead to a spike in blood sugar, research has indicated
that sorghum offers slow digestibility and a lower glycemic index. Foods with a lower glycemic
index are believed to increase satiety, which means people feel fuller longer, aiding with weight
management.
White, food grade sorghum can be milled directly into whole grain flour to produce foods such as
cookies, cakes, breads, pizza dough, pastas, cereals and more. Whole grain sorghum is also a healthy
addition to salads. Sorghum’s natural attributes make it possible to enjoy deliciously healthful and
gluten-free versions of some of America’s favorite foods, thanks to these recipes.

Memorial Day inspires memories of the Greatest
Generation and the roar of racing engines
Atlanta Motor Speedway
Memorial Day weekend, for many, is about the roar of racing engines,
beginning with the Monaco Grand Prix, continuing through the Indianapolis 500 and concluding with the Coca-Cola 600.
But far from that noise, Memorial Day weekend is about the sound
of silence in cemeteries and remembering those members of the armed
forces who made the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America.
For some, the Greatest Generation comes to mind, and a time when
young men and women left small towns and farms only to die on faraway battlefields in Europe and the Pacific theater.
And there are those who remember NASA astronauts, many of whom
were military pilots before joining the space program, where they died
trying to lead the race into space.
Art Pollard drove the No. 76 Pure Firebird for owner Gus Grissom
in 1966.
Gus Grissom was one of those NASA pioneers — one of the Gemini
Seven astronauts, better known to many as “The Right Stuff” astronauts because of the 1973 Tom Wolfe book and 1983 movie.
Grissom also was one of those who appreciated the roar of racing
engines on the Sunday before Memorial Day.
While stationed at Cape Canaveral in Florida, he and most of his
fellow Right Stuff astronauts found their way to Daytona Beach — the
home of NASCAR. There they were welcomed by NASCAR founder Bill
France Sr., who, being the promoter he was, recognized the value of
having household-name astronauts in attendance at his races.
Greg Favre was the assistant to Bill France when Grissom and his
fellow Gemini Seven astronauts — all of them except John Glenn —
were bitten by the racing bug.
“They were all speed freaks,” Favre recalled last week. “It was a
natural thing to embrace racing.”
France took astronauts, including Grissom and Gordon Cooper, to the
Daytona 500, NASCAR’s biggest race, but he also took them to short
tracks, like Bowman Gray Stadium in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Favre, who now heads CALmatters, said France’s relationship with
the astronauts was just one example of his promoting genius.
“Bill Sr. was the greatest promoter that ever lived,” Favre said.
Grissom and Cooper, who was an accomplished SCCA racer, also had
an interest in IndyCar racing, and according to reports from that era,
had plans to enter the 1967 Indianapolis 500 with NASCAR star Lee
Roy Yarbrough doing the driving.
That would allow Grissom to achieve both of his major goals — to
lead the first expedition to the moon, and to win the 500.
They teamed with former Indianapolis 500 winner Jim Rathmann,
who served as their team manager, and bought a car from Fred Gerhardt, the leading car builder of his time.
In June of 1966, Grissom and Cooper ran a race at Atlanta International Raceway, now Atlanta Motor Speedway, with Art Pollard driving.
From all accounts, Grissom, rather than playing the role of celebrity
owner, worked on his car alongside the crew. It was much like his reputation at NASA — he was just a regular guy.
Pollard qualified the No. 76 in fifth place, but the car caught fire on
pit road at Lap 64, relegating the team to a 22nd-place finish.
Grissom never got a chance to achieve either of his major goals. On
Jan. 27, 1967, he and fellow Apollo 1 crew members Ed White and
Roger Chaffee died when a fire broke out during a test of their module.
Like many heroes who are remembered each Memorial Day, Grissom
was well aware of the risks, but did his duty anyway.
In an interview just after Grissom’s death, Favre said he and Grissom
had discussed the risks of the space program at that time.
“He used to say we could get [to the moon] now, but might not be able
to get back,” Favre said. “He mentioned a lot of times we’d lose some
people on the way.
“I’m sure he never thought it would happen like it did — 216 feet off
the ground.”

Kyle Busch returns; places sixth in Sprint All-Star Race
Kyle Busch had a successful return to
the Sprint Cup Series in the All-Star
Race, driving for the first time since
suffering injuries in a crash during
the Xfinity Series race at Daytona in
February.
Kyle Busch said “everything felt good” in his
return to Sprint Cup, where he drove his No.
18 Toyota to a sixth-place finish in the All-Star
Race.
Busch, who had not driven a car with
the current rules package before All-Star
practice, was among the faster cars in the
race, and wound up sixth at the finish.
“All in all, it was a good evening,” Busch
said. “We were clicking off some spots,
moving ourselves forward. Felt really
good about things. Real fortunate just to
get back in the race car, get out there and
feel things out.
“Otherwise, everything felt good, and
getting to pit road, all that — everything
was fine.”
Busch did say it will take him a few
weeks to get back to 100 percent.
“I’ll be sore for a couple days, just muscles that haven’t been woken up like this
in a little while,” he said. “It’s nothing
new. Typically, I get that in the beginning
of the year anyway. It takes a few weeks
to kind of get warmed up to things, your
body to kind of settle in.
“Being out of the race car the longest
I’ve ever been in my career — it’s a wakeup call for myself to get back rolling.”
Next up is a major challenge — 600
miles on Sunday night at Charlotte.
“As far as endurance goes, for next week
… the plan is to go the full distance,”
he said. “We’ll just hope that the rest of
these guys run about 50 percent for the
first 200 laps, I can keep up. Maybe at
the end, we’ll all go after it. But I doubt
that will happen.”

Caution flag gives Buescher break

laps from victory, when a caution flag
flew and gave Chris Buescher the break
he needed to overtake Elliott and win
the 3M 250.
Buescher, who pitted for fresh tires

Roush Fenway Racing teammate Darrell
Wallace Jr. to surge past Elliott for the
victory, which gave him the series points
lead by eight over Ty Dillon.
“It was exactly what we needed to get

Midway Playing Solid Post Season Ball
Midway’s second round game of the state playoffs at Raider’s stadium Saturday
night, May 16th against North Pitt, had solid game on both offense and defense.
Matthew Barefoot pitched 7 innings in Saturday’s game striking out 14 and allowing
only one run. Final score 4-1.
“Defensively we played solid and were able to get enough hits for the win,” stated
Coach Jason Fussell. “Tyler Pope was 2 for 2.”
Fussell continued, “North Pitt had a very good team and we were able to stay focused
and do what we had to do to win. It is always great to advance to the next round.”
Fussell concluded by saying, “Jordan Matthews, although their record doesn’t show
it, has been playing some great baseball the last few weeks. They are definitely on a
hot streak with some big wins during the first two rounds. We will have to continue to
play solid defense and move runners around the base paths to be successful.”
Moving to the third round Tuesday evening, Midway again played a solid game
against Jordan-Matthews. The Raider’s shutout their opponent by a score of 6 to 0
sending themselves into the fourth round of the state playoffs.
Coach Fussell stated, “It was another good win. We played well in all aspects of the
game and hopefully we can continue to play the way we have been playing.”
The Raiders stand at 21 and 2 on the season and will face the Fairmont Tornadoes
Friday night May 22 in the fourth round of the State 2A championship on the Midway
Raider field.
Lady Darkhorses Close Season with a Disappointing Loss
On Saturday, the Lady Darkhorse varsity soccer team faced a disappointing loss in the
third round of the 2015 Women's Soccer Championships - 2A. The Darkhorses faced
off against North Carolina School of Science & Math and were shut out with the final
score being 3-0.
The Ladies have had a great year of winning with a Conference record of 14-0 (unde-
feated) and 19-3-1 Overall.
Clinton will be losing two very valuable seniors next year, Emily Valenti and Grace
Reagan. But with a mostly young team, we can bet to see the Lady Darkhorses back
on top next year.
Great season, Darkhorse Ladies!!

HCA Hurler Michael Smith Sets His Sights on Success
When Harrells Christian Academy senior Michael
Smith was told he was named this week’s
Performance Auto/Sampson Weekly Star Athlete, he
was shocked.
pull someone to the side and ask for a prayer and
someone will be there for you. Whatever you need,
someone will help you and look out for you. The
same with sports ... to see all of the supporters we
have up there - we always love seeing that.”
“I had no idea I was even nominated by my
coaches,” the 18-year-old Christian Crusader
baseball standout said. “It really is pretty neat ... I
am just really proud that my coaches thought of
me.”
An ‘A-B’ student, who says his favorite subject is
English Literature, says he will attend Wake Technical
Community College, before moving on to a larger
two-year college.
“I want to study Criminal Justice and hopefully walkon the baseball team,” Smith said. “Then I would like
to move on to N.C. State University for two years.”
Smith recently led the Crusaders from the mound
in a 4-2 victory over No. 1 seeded West Chester. In
that game, Smith delivered 5Ks and helped his own
cause by going 2-4 with a double, a single and an
RBI at the plate.
Smith said that it would be his dream to get drafted
to play Major League Baseball.
Despite his excellent game, Smith passes praise to
his teammates.
“That is the ultimate dream come true for me,” he
said. “Because my dad was born and raised in
Philadelphia, I am a Phillies fan. So, if that dream
came true, I would want to play for the Phillies.”
“I can tell you that our defense came up big in that
game,” he said proudly. “That team (West Chester)
hadn’t lost a 2-A playoff game in the last four years.
For us to win that game was really special. We were
all very excited.”
The win solidified Harrells Baseball in the NCISAA 2-A
State Championships - that were held last weekend.
“We played well Friday night,” Smith said Monday.
“But we lost Saturday and were knocked out ... we
didn’t play too well.”
Sports was something that always came natural to
Smith.
Born and raised in Kenansville to Lisa and Chris
Smith, Michael began playing recreational sports
around the age of 4.
“I played everything when I was little,” he said. “I
played baseball, football, soccer and basketball ...
after a while, I dropped the soccer and basketball.”
He has attended Harrells Christian Academy his
entire educational career and has played football
and baseball for the Crusaders as well.
In his freshman year, he tore his right anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) during football season. Ironically, in
his senior year on the HCA football squad, Smith
tore his left ACL and was out for the season.
“It was hard to sit out,” he said. “The thing about it
was, it happened in a scrimmage game and I was
out my entire senior season.”
It took him a long seven months to recover.
If that doesn’t happen, Michael said he will join the
U.S. Coast Guard.
“Dr. (Alexander) Huff and his team in Clinton did
both of my surgeries,” Smith explained. “He just did a
great job. I did all the rehabilitation and I have had
no problems since. I feel really good.”
There are no signs of any problems watching Smith
go to work from the hill or in the shortstop position. His
love of the game is evident.
Which is why it is going to be hard to walk off the field
for the last time.
“It is going to be difficult,” Smith said. “Not just to
finish my high school baseball career, but to actually
leave Harrells Christian Academy.”
Smith noted that is because of the family atmosphere
that has been provided at the school.
When asked about his favorite motto, Smith said
that he goes by the often quoted one by Michael
Jordan, “The harder you work, the luckier you get”.
“If I had to give someone coming up (to high school
sports) I would tell them to never give up,” Smith said.
“I would also tell them to always chase their dreams.
You never know what tomorrow might bring.”
In his free time, Smith likes to hang out with his
friends, go to the movies, bowling and the beach.
“Basically, I like to stay out of trouble,” he said with
a laugh.
In addition to his family, Smith said he wanted to
say thanks to his coaches for nominating him for the
POW award.
“It will be tough to leave because of all of my friends
and, really, family here at Harrells,” he said. “I have
been going here the whole time. I know that a lot of
the friends I have - we will be leaving each other as
well. Hopefully, we will all stay in touch. It is going to
be a big challenge. But I am excited to move on
too.”
“My coach Winfred Johnson has been great,” he
said. “I would also like to thank Dr. Huff, and my
grandma and grandpa ...”
When asked specifically about Harrells’ staff, Smith
said that the support in and out of the classroom has
been second to none.
“We all grew up together,” he said, “and they have
always been there for me. Especially last year. My
mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and all of
them came together to play in a ‘Pink Out’ game to
honor her. She is good now and all clear, but that is
something that I will never forget.”
“They have made an impact in my life,” he admitted.
“I mean you can come in at 7 a.m. and work on
your math and someone will help you; you can

All-County Production of ‘Shrek’ Delivers Smiles
** Show presented to county students today; Two shows for the public Saturday*
County elementary students (K-5) will get to enjoy a live theater production of “Shrek”
today thanks to the efforts of the Hobbton High School Drama Club. Two shows, which will
be held at the Hobbton High School Auditorium, will be presented to the public on Saturday
(May 23) at 2 and 6 p.m. Tickets for Saturday’s show will be $10 and can be purchased at
the door.
The show is coming off of the heels of last year’s successful all-county production of “Seussical”. The productions, like ‘Shrek’, features students from Sampson County schools, as
well as two home-schooled students. In fact, “Shrek” will feature a total of 53 students. In
addition to the two home-schooled students, actors and actresses from Hobbton, Midway,
Lakewood and Clinton High Schools; Hobbton Elementary, Sunset Avenue and Butler Avenue Schools will be featured in the musical.
The idea for the all-county shows was the brainchild of long-time Hobbton educator and
director Angela Martin. All the funding for the shows come directly from Hobbton High
School’s theater funds that are earned at previous shows. Which means all proceeds from
the Saturday shows of “Shrek” will go right back to the Hobbton High Drama Club to help
keep the shows available for the county children, as well as the public.
“I was very excited about the success of ‘Seussical’,” Martin said. “I have been teaching at
Hobbton High School for 10 years and directing productions at the Sampson Community
Theatre and I wanted to give students in the county another opportunity to be in another
production. My students at Hobbton are fantastic actors and I thought that giving them the
opportunity to work with other young people in the county would allow them to grow as
actors and students. I picked ‘Shrek’ almost immediately after ‘Seussical’ closed.”
Martin said that she was not surprised at the success of “Seussical”. “My goal for every
production is to create a show that people will love to perform and enjoy watching,” she
said. “If you create a quality show, you will see the success and benefits of your efforts.”
K-5 students, as well as the public, came out to support the show. Including local educators
and administrators.
Break. Students spent much of their free time learning the complex musical and dance numbers that tell the tale of the ogre Shrek and how he comes to fall in love with Princess Fiona.
Along the way, plenty of belly laughs come from Donkey and Lord Farquaad. There are
plenty of surprises too - including a host of fairytale creatures that show up for a visit. The
Three Bears, Pinocchio, the Wicked Witch, Peter Pan and many others make comical cameos
that are sure to put a smile on audiences’ faces.
“I auditioned everyone and casting is like a puzzle,” she said of her actresses and actors. “You
put the pieces together to make the right fit.” Martin said to produce “Shrek” this year was a
decision that was an easy one.
“I always like to do productions that will interest my cast and my audience,” she explained.
“’Shrek’ is a brand new musical and it is geared to young people. I like the music and characters and the story is familiar to our audience and cast.” Working with such a diverse cast of
young people, Martin said that it was important that everyone felt comfortable in their parts,
as well as with each other.
In fact, every student who tried out (from Hobbton and every other school in the county) who
wanted a role, received one. “It really doesn’t change how you direct an all-county production instead of one for your students (at Hobbton High),” she said. “Students in our county
are different but students in your high school are just as diverse. No matter where you attend
school, the mission and purpose of a production is to work as a team. It doesn’t matter what
high school you attend or what grade level you are or where you come from. We all have one
grand purpose and that is what makes any production great.”
During a full rehearsal earlier this week, Martin is all over the place - from working the
music, to walking through character choreography, to running lines with all the actors and
actresses, to taking the time to do one-on-ones with the child actors - she is a force to watch
in action.
When Martin is done with the full run-through of the play she is still not done. The director
stays late to go over more choreography with other minor characters to make sure they are
comfortable with their moves for the slate of scheduled shows this week.
“It was fun and educational and filled with energy,” Martin noted. “The administrators and
educators have come to expect great shows from my Hobbton High School theatre program
and allow their students to attend my productions yearly. This was just a continuation of the
success I have had at Hobbton.”
Although Martin is “unsure” about what show she will bring to the county during the next
school year, she, as well as her cast, is focused on making “Shrek” an even bigger hit than
“Seussical”. Whatever that show funding for the show will be directly from Saturday’s public
shows of “Shrek”.
The director wasted no time with “Shrek”, which featured open auditions to every high
school student in the county, as rehearsals for the hilarious musical began right after Spring
Saturday’s performances for the public will be at Hobbton High School’s Auditorium at 2 and
6 p.m. Tickets are $10 at the door.
*Midway High Student Hosts Community Gospel Sing On May 30*
** Benefit will help raise funds for building; Eagle Scout project*
Midway High School’s Stephen Carroll will be hosting a Community Gospel Sing to
help build a massive storage building that will be able to accommodate two utility
trailers - that will not only help his school’s marching band, but for future students
who hope to participate in that band.
The reason? The 16-year-old sophomore is in pursuit of the highest honor in Scouting - the rank of Eagle. The Community Gospel Sing will be held on May 30 at Central Baptist Church located at 6050 Plain View Highway in Dunn. Doors will open at
5 p.m. and the event will begin at 6 p.m. Tickets to the event are free; however, a
love offering will be accepted.
“There are 16 people/groups that have agreed to participate for a night of praise
and worship,” Carroll said Monday. “It is a ticketed event, the tickets are free. We
are using tickets to help people remember and to fill up the sanctuary of 1,300 for
a great night. We will take a love offering to benefit my project and to offset cost
of the event. We will sell
t-shirts at the event too.”

One of the main requirements to achieve Eagle
rank is to successfully
plan and execute a service project that benefits the community.
“My plans are to build a
much needed storage
facility at my high school
for the marching band,”
The member of Troop
41 said recently. “The
facility will secure equipment, trailers, props and
more.” The building project will be a 34x34 steelframed and will have
two opening doors that
will hold two trailers that
house cooking equip-
ment and some freezers that preserve the food served in the concession stands,
which is run by the MHS Band Booster Club. Plans for the building’s location will be
beside the two greenhouses behind the school. The building will contain electricity
and insulation and will cost approximately $45,000.
Carroll said that the idea for to host the Community Gospel Sing was an easy one.
He is reaching out for donations to help fund the project that would go to securing
and assisting future band students to pursue their goals and enrich their education.
“This will allow more of the money raised by our boosters to be used to help to fulfill
the dream of students who might otherwise not have the opportunity to participate
in a band program,” he
added.

HONORING OUR SERVICE
MEMBERS ON MEMORIAL DAY

Affairs Specialist

Congratulations
Chamber Member of the Week
On Memorial Day, we honor men and women who died
while courageously serving in the U.S. military. We also
recognize active duty service members, especially those
who have been wounded. Cities and towns across the
United States host Memorial Day parades to thank our
service members and their families for their sacrifices.
Policymakers put into place laws and benefits to protect our heroes and their
families. For example, Social Security provides survivors, disability, retirement,
and Medicare benefits. Not only does Social Security have benefits to protect
veterans, we also provide family benefits to protect service members’ dependents.
Widows, widowers, and their dependent children may be eligible for Social
Security survivor’s benefits. You can learn more about Social Security survivor’s
benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/survivors.
Wounded military service members can also receive expedited processing
of their disability claims. For example, Social Security will provide expedited
processing of disability claims filed by veterans who have a U.S. Department of
Veterans Affairs (VA) Compensation rating of 100 percent Permanent & Total
(P&T). Depending on the situation, some family members of military personnel,
including dependent children and, in some cases, spouses, may be eligible to
receive benefits. You can get answers to commonly asked questions and find
useful information about the application process at www.socialsecurity.gov/
woundedwarriors.
Service members can also receive Social Security, as well as military retirement
benefits. The good news is that your military retirement benefit doesn’t reduce
your Social Security retirement benefit. Learn more about Social Security
retirement benefits at www.socialsecurity.gov/retirement. You may also want
to visit the Military Service page of our Retirement Planner, available at www.
socialsecurity.gov/retire2/veterans.htm.
Service members are also eligible for Medicare at age 65. If you have health
insurance from the Department of Veterans Affairs, or under the TRICARE
or CHAMPVA programs, your health benefits may change, or end, when you
become eligible for Medicare. Learn more about Medicare benefits at www.
socialsecurity.gov/medicare.
Congratulations to the Chamber’s Member of the Week, Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church.
The mission of the church is to unite their members in Bible study, prayer, ministry
work, and fellowship. Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church located on 4442 Bonnetsville Road
in Clinton, was founded and established in 1875. This year they will be embarking
upon their 140th Church Anniversary which will be celebrated during the Homecoming
Service in October. They make an effort to develop a supportive environment that
touches the lives of their entire church family. Mt. Pleasant promotes mentoring
opportunities that lead to significant vital relationships among the community. Under
the leadership of the Pastor, Bishop Varnie N. Fullwood, Sr., Mt. Pleasant has become
a magnet for serving others and a resource for other church ministries.
For more information about Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church, please contact Elder
Dorcas Beatty at 910-564-6630, e-mail [email protected] or visit www.
