officially has a home of its own. On Saturday, October 12 at 10:00am, the Sampson County Sports
Club along with a large crowd of Sampson County citizens and sports enthusiasts witnessed the
ribbon cutting and unveiling of the completed Hall of Fame.
Located at the Sampson County History Museum, 313 Lisbon Street in Clinton, according to Col.
Tommy Macon, “A permanent home for the Sports Hall of Fame was the vision of Fes Turlington
and Coach Nathan Gay back in 2004”. Work began in 2012 and was completed earlier this year.
Saturday, October 12th marked the official ribbon cutting and opening of the Henry “Fes” Turlington Sports Hall of Fame and Nathan Gay Reliquarium.
Fes Turlington’s and Nathan Gay’s families were both present to commemorate the ribbon cutting
and to honor the memory of their loved one.
The ribbon cutting and opening coincided with the Court Square Street Fair & BBQ Cook-off
which gave plenty of people the opportunity to visit the dream-come-reality of Turlington and Gay.
Everyone in Sampson County needs to take a moment and visit the newly opened Sports Hall of
Fame located at the Sampson County History Museum at 313 Lisbon Street in Clinton.

improvements. After hearing a presentation by Lee
Cannady, SC Public Works Director and Sharon Crawford
of Ratio Architects, commissioners came to a unanimous
conclusion that simply building a connector between the
main courthouse and the courthouse extension building
would not fix the apparent problem that the county has in
providing courthouse security.
was offered as a means of improving safety. In July the
county also sent out security questionnaires to local offices
that use or access the courthouse facilities-including
attorneys, law enforcement officers, judges, probation and
parole officers, the clerk of court and other courthouse
personnel. Many surveys were returned voicing serious
security concerns.
According to Sharon Crawford of Ratio Architects of
Raleigh, the firm that has been doing the security study
for the county, “Based upon our opinion, the Courthouse
Connector would not be an appropriate solution given
the security concerns and knowing that county funding
is limited. We are happy to proceed with the design and
feasibility study but there are some challenging issues.”
Ratio Architects has met and discussed security issues and
Courthouse processes with Judge Parsons, Commissioner
Kirby, Sheriff Jimmy Thornton, DA Ernie Lee and Clerk
of Court Norman Wayne Naylor. All were present at
Tuesday’s meeting except DA Ernie Lee.
Crawford noted that the challenges included:
1-Connector links two courtrooms only: The Annex
houses the most dangerous (violent) court that would not
benefit from security upgrades (child custody, family and
domestic issues).
2- Technology/security equipment upgrades are necessary
regardless of a Connector addition. These would include
entry screening, security cameras and intrusion alarms as
mentioned in the report.
3-Security Personnel is necessary regardless of a
Connector addition. One is needed to screen at a main
entry point and ideally two minimum are needed in the
courtroom. Courtroom requires 1 for inmate supervision
as necessary; 1 for courtroom and judicial security; 1 for
escort to cashier office and incident control.
Crawford also noted other design considerations
(challenges):
1-Accessibilty due to grade change from the Extension
building to the Courthouse.
2- Co-mingling of attorneys, judges, inmates and public.
3-Parking security.
4-Inmate transfer to courtroom and holding cells.
County Manager Ed Causey has stated in previous
meetings, “This is one of the most important issues
facing the county right now. Protection and security for
employees and citizens who use the courthouse is very
important. Right now we have limited financial abilities.
Everyone loves the courthouse. At the same time, the
age of the building makes it difficult for security. I don’t
expect to build a new courthouse, but as we talk about
renovations and costs, we know what we are dealing
with.”
In May of 2010, the US Marshalls conducted a security
survey that pointed out many security concerns. The
needed addition of more security personnel and equipment
Architect Sharon Crawford stated, “We didn’t want to
spend the counties money if in fact we would have to go
in a completely different direction. The light went on
after meeting with everybody. We are just not sure that
a bricks and mortar connection piece is the answer to the
community concerns.”
Crawford continued, “I just really did not want to proceed
spending money if it is not the right solution especially
with the county not having the money right now. It did not
feel right to proceed with a design that in the end might
not help us. We are happy to proceed with this connector
or whatever direction you want us to proceed in. You
could be looking at an addition that could cost as much
as $500,000. Why bother with that bricks and mortar
piece, why not deal with technology piece and the needed
personnel.”
Lee Cannady, “Reality is that if we were in real good times
and the surplus money was there, we need to build a new
courthouse, but we know that is not an option at this time.
I don’t think that there is a cheap alternative to what has
been suggested. We are looking at a 1904 courthouse that
at some point in time you have maximized your possible
use for that building. The bang for your buck, would be
man power and technology in place.”
“My hats off to the firm for not spending our money,”
stated Cannady.
Billy Lockamy expressed his concern of the public entering
the courthouse with no security at all. Crawford said that
she thought through cameras, screening, deputies at the
entrances and closing off all entrances but one would help.
Judge Parsons stated, “There are three different buildings
and connecting two doesn’t help the security situation.
Ideally, would be building a new Courthouse building
and the repurposing of existing facilities would be the
best case scenario. I have been in 50 county courthouses.
The Sampson Weekly

None have 3 courtrooms in three different buildings. We
have to address it somehow. We have a nightmare that you
guys did not create.”
Judge Parsons stated that he was not concerned for his
safety, “I can be replaced. I am worried for the jurors and
the people in the audience.” He continued to say that he
wanted to see the windows of the Courthouse Extension be
bricked up for juror safety. This has got to happen soon.”
He went on to discuss his concerns for the jurors being so
close to the windows. “You take a juror out, you declare
a mistrial. With such a violent world out there. We have
a nightmare trying to secure all three buildings. We, like
most eastern counties, are broke. All I want is whatever it
takes to keep people safe and from being killed and to keep
us from being sued. I don’t want anything fancy. It does
not have to be aesthetically pleasing, just keep everybody
alive. Whatever the cheapest way is to do this.”
Lee Cannady reaffirmed Parson’s request to brick in the
windows and stated that it was in the process now. Parsons
reminded commissioners about the Barber Shop shooting
five years ago when they rode by the barber shop shooting
with semi-automatic pistols less than a block away from
the police station. “I can assure you they will turn that
corner there and shoot into the old bank (Courthouse
Extension building).”
County Manager Ed Causey, “We are at a crossroads and
we need to know how we are going to proceed once we get
to the end of this.”
Other discussion were brought to the table by Commissioner
Kirby that possibly one entire courthouse building could
be cut out from use, utilizing the other two courthouses
and possibly rescheduling some courts in order to just use
two courtrooms. Clerk of Court Norman Wayne Naylor
stated that he did not think that would work at all.
Everyone agreed that one courthouse building would be
the answer. County Manager commented that down the
road a new courthouse would have to be looked into.
Commissioners agreed to have Ratio Architects continue
the design for security and the feasibility study of having
only one entry point at each of the three courthouse
locations with a cost of the changes. Commissioners also
instructed Sheriff Thornton to bring forth the previous
proposals for courthouse security and equipment needed.
Commissioner Strickland asked Lee Cannady to keep the
commissioners updated on what has been done and what
is being done. An update will be given at the November
commissioners meeting.

BBQ Pig cooker to be given away as well as a

Kim Johnson remarked about this year’s Grand
Marshall’s, “Mrs. Maomi Jones is a lifelong resident of Harrells and she has worked every Harrells
Community Day Benefit as Cake Coordinator. Mr.
Willie Johnson is a lifelong resident/farmer, former
town alderman of Harrells.”

The small, yet close-knit community of Harrells
is in full swing, planning and organizing for the
upcoming Harrells Community Day which is
scheduled for October 26th beginning at 10am.
The event draws out hundreds of attendees from
Harrells and the surrounding areas. According to
event coordinator and long-time Harrells’ resident
Kim Johnson, “The event started originally over
40 years ago as a Fish Fry Fundraiser. That was
soon changed to a BBQ and continued on for
many years. The Fire Department began hosting
the Truck and Tractor pull several years ago and
that became their major fundraiser so the Annual Day in the fall stopped and was started back
around 7 years ago after a group of community
citizens wanted to bring back the event.”
The small Harrells Community puts on many impressive events throughout the year including
the famous Harrells Tractor Pull. It is hard to believe that a community of this size is able to do
so much. According to Kim Johnson, “This day
allows the Harrells community, past and present to
come out and support the Harrells Volunteer Fire
Department. It is a way for the community to give
back to the Fire Department for the dedication and
protection they continue to give us each and every day. Harrells is a small community but it has a
fire department that surpasses many in this area.
The department has worked very hard to purchase
equipment, trucks, and continue training, all in an
effort to help them keep our town safe. If the community can have a small part in helping them do
this by raising funds, then Harrells Community Day
is and will always be a success.”
According to Ms. Johnson, “The parade will start
at 10:30. Every year the parade keeps getting bigger and better. We will have the Dunn Clowns and
the Sudan Mini-roadsters. We will have a DJ for a
street dance. We will also have local entertainment
beginning at 12noon with the Black River Bluegrass
Pickers taking the stage at 3pm. These local entertainers were featured in “Our State” Magazine. We
And if you love good ol’southern food, there will be
plenty of that. According to organizers, “We will
have famous wood cooked BBQ with all the trimmings, plates and sandwiches for sale. There will
be desserts of all kinds, hot dogs, peanuts, cotton
candy and much more.”
The Little Miss Harrells competition will be open
for ages 1-8. Contestants will raise money to support the Volunteer Fire department. All contestants will be in the parade and then the winner will
be announced at 12noon. The reigning Little Miss
Harrells – Katie Whitman will be on hand to crown
the new Little Miss.
All proceeds from the day’s festivities will go to
benefit the Harrells Volunteer Fire Department.
Monies raised will allow equipment, parts, and
training for the department to continue to keep the
Harrells community safe.
Kim Johnson concluded by noting, “We invite everyone to come out for a day of good fun, food,
and fellowship. We guarantee the best BBQ
you’ve ever had.”

community.” But apparently the news traveled and that first
year the Old School Sorghum Festival would be attended by
large numbers of people, some as far as from Fayetteville. So
as soon as that first year was over the two Matthews’ set about
at what they do, making things better.
It’s been 15 years since the first annual Old School Sorghum
Festive in 1998, and the festival continues to grow each
year. Attendees get to watch sorghum being cooked, listen to
live music, and tour the McDaniel’s School museum which
houses a collection of vintage kitchen utensils, farm tools and
equipment, radios, and other home and farm collectables.
You can also tour an old General Store from the early 1900’s.
The General Store, which once served the Mintz community
and also housed the post office, was moved to the McDaniel’s
School site in 2002.
The Old School Sorghum Festival is free to the public and
offers fun for the whole family. It is a wonderful opportunity
to experience a glimpse of the past while spending time with
friends and family. And you can take home a bit of the old
sweet syrup that many still remember from breakfast and
even an after school snack.

Saturday’s 27th Annual Court Square Street Fair
and Barbecue Cook-off Brings Out Thousands
This past Saturday, if you were anywhere near downtown
Clinton, you would have smelled a pleasant, alluring
scent rising up into the heavens. Upon driving, walking
or by whatever chosen mode of transportation- reaching
downtown, you would have also been greeted with the
friendliest bunch of people this county can produce.
Barbaquer’s, craftsmen and women, booths galore and to
top it off- The best collection of antique cars and trucks
assembled to amaze the car lover’s and enthusiast this side
of 95!
In my opinion-Our Community has one of the best annual
Street Fair’s in the country. According to Mary Rose,
Planning Director Clinton-Sampson Planning Department,
“The 27th Annual Court Square Street Fair and 20th annual
Barbecue Cook-Off, held in Downtown Clinton on Saturday,
October 12, 2013 owes its success to many. Thanks to
several new partnerships and the strengthening of several
existing partnerships, the event was bigger than ever before.
The Clinton Main Street Program brings this event to you
in partnership with the Sampson Regional Medical Center,
the Sampson Arts Council, BCCCP, the Sampson County
Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Sampson County
History Museum, the Downtown Dash 5k Committee, the
Ol’ Lightnin’ Rods Car Club, Celebrando la Raza – Festival
de la Calle and the City of Clinton. In addition to these
partners, we are also very appreciative of our sponsors for
the Barbecue Cook-off this year. Our Gold sponsors are
Murphy-Brown, Prestage Farms and Smithfield and our
Silver sponsors are Hog Slat and Williamson Gas.”
“Our barbecue cook-off teams began setting up Friday
evening with the pigs delivered at 9:00 pm. Activity on
the Court Square started early, with Bake-Off registration
on Main St from 8-9 am. An event which was very well
received last year, the 2nd Annual Downtown Dash 5k
& Fun Run started at 8:30 am from the new Vance Street
parking lot. This year the SRMC Care Fair was moved to
the Clinton City Hall in order to be closer to the heart of the
street fair. The annual Breast Cancer Awareness Rally began
on the Main Street side of the Sampson County courthouse
at 9:30 am. The walk ended at the Sampson Center, 808
Barden Street, where the rally continued until 12 pm.”
The Street Fair wound its way up Lisbon Street to the
Clinton City Market, where the Ol’ Lightnin’ Rods Antique
Car Show was held. Just past the City Market, the Sampson
County History Museum Craft Demonstration Day provided
fairgoers with a variety of free demonstrations and exhibits.
“An exciting addition to our Street Fair for the second year
in a row was the Celebrando la Raza-Festival de la Calle,
a Hispanic Cultural event which was held in the parking
lot across form the First Baptist Church at 408 College
Street. The Court Square Street Fair is an event provided
by the Clinton Main Street Program and its partners for the
enjoyment of not only the citizens of Clinton, but also of
Sampson and surrounding counties.”
Rose continued, “The street fair started as a craft fair back in
the 80’s and has turned into a wonderful community event
with many partners who assist us with drawing several
thousand visitors to downtown Clinton each year”.

Mr. Lee’s uniform and duffle bag have been donated to the Sampson County History
Museum in Clinton. It is a reminder of his service for our great Country. He was
shot at by the enemy while taking cover in a fox hole. By the grace of God he was
not injured.
After his military career, Mr. Lee worked at Dixie Motor Parts of Clinton for 20 years
and later retired with 27 years as co-owner/operator of City Auto Parts.
The Clinton-Sampson Chamber of Commerce celebrated with a ribbon cutting

refers to Mrs. Lee, resides in Clinton with their pet cat.
We are honored to have Mr. Lee as a member of our Southwood Family.
From The Desk of
Senator Brent Jackson
Each year, after the
General Assembly
adjourns,
ratings
and reviews are
released by groups
that grade the work
of the legislature.
This week, I want
to bring a couple of
those reports to your
attention.
First, the North
Carolina
Free
Enterprise Institute,
a nonpartisan organization that promotes a positive business
climate in the state, released its annual Legislative Business
Ratings. These ratings are compiled using a confidential
survey of over 400 industry and government leaders across
the state and are meant to evaluate the business-friendliness
of both individual legislators and the General Assembly as a
whole. Overall, the 2013 session was considered to be very
positive for commerce in North Carolina. I was pleased
to hear that our business leaders are confident that the
measures we took to improve the business climate will have
the intended effects. I encourage you to look over the report
using the link above and feel free to email me your thoughts
and/or concerns. Please note, on page 5 of the slideshow, I
was ranked 3rd in the Senate. This rating was determined by
my voting history, how I conducted legislative business and
my willingness to sit down and “listen to all sides on an issue.”
Second, the Tax Foundation, a nonpartisan organization that
provides research and analysis on federal and state tax policy,
released its 2014 State Business Tax Climate Index. In Forbes
magazine’s review of that report, the General Assembly’s tax
reform initiative (House Bill 998) was expected to propel
North Carolina from the bottom third of states to the top
third for best business tax climate. They specifically cited
cutting tax rates, flattening brackets for individual taxpayers
and repealing the estate tax as positive changes for North
Carolina residents and businesses.
Two of our primary goals this year were to create jobs and
encourage new businesses to locate in North Carolina. By
passing legislation that dramatically improved the business
climate in the state, I believe we have taken a major step
towards laying the foundation for future prosperity.
As always, when you call or email my office, normally you
speak with a member of my staff. I want to assure you that I
read each and every email that is sent to my legislative account
and my staff provides detailed records of phone calls.

DISTRICT HEADLINES:
Duplin County Voluntary Agriculture District Plans Open
Meeting
The VAD Membership Program aims to encourage voluntary
protection of rural North Carolina farmland from nonfarm development by raising awareness of the agricultural
enterprises present in a community. An informational meeting
will be held at 7:00 p.m. on October 22nd at the Lois G. Britt
Agricultural Service Center in Kenansville. The meeting is
free and open to the public, and will feature guest speaker
Brandon King of the North Carolina Cooperative Extension.
This is an excellent and important initiative and I am sure that
any resident of Duplin County, farmer or otherwise, would
benefit from attending.
Sampson Schools Receive National Recognition for
Performance
Clement Elementary, Midway Elementary, Plain View
Elementary, Hargrove Elementary and Hobbton Elementary
have all been named “Title I Reward Schools for Performance”,
Fisher Recognized for Service
LOCAL NEWS
meaning that they ranked among the top 10% of all Title
I schools. Please join me in congratulating the staff and
students of these schools and thanking them for the time and
effort that earned them this recognition.
Two Bond Referendums on Johnston County Ballot
On November 5th, Johnston County voters will decide the fate
of two bond proposals. The first would provide $57 million
to Johnston County Schools, while the second would raise $7
million for Johnston Community College. If approved, the
bonds will be sold over three years and will be used primarily
to expand existing facilities to accommodate the nearly 700
new students that enroll annually. In the past, bond proposals
have enjoyed strong support, since they provide additional
money for schools without higher property taxes or risky
short-term borrowing. I encourage all Johnston County
residents to go out to the polls on November 5th and make
their voices heard.
DISTRICT 10 SPOTLIGHT:

HEALTH
Horse In Hoke County -First Case of EEE
(N,N-diethyl-meta-toluamide,) are recommended. Picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus are
other repellent options.
•
Drainage – Check around your home to
rid the area of standing water, which is where
mosquitoes can lay their eggs.
To reduce mosquito breeding areas around
your home and farm:
•
Remove any containers that can hold
water;
•
Keep gutters clean and in good repair;
•
Repair leaky outdoor faucets and
change the water in bird baths and pet bowls
at least twice a week;
•
Use screened windows and doors and
make sure screens fit tightly and are not torn.
•
Keep tight-fitting screens or lids on rain
barrels.
Although no cases of Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) have been identified in humans
in NC the first equine case in a horse in Hoke
County highlights the fact that the disease is
present and people should take precautions to
protect themselves and their horses.
EEE is a rare disease. In North Carolina, it is
more common in the eastern part of the state
than in other areas. The viral illness, transmitted by some species of mosquitoes, attacks
the central nervous system, causes inflammation of the brain and can be fatal to animals
and humans. Wild birds serve as reservoirs for
the virus. Mosquitoes bite the birds and then
can transmit the virus to humans and animals.
Symptoms can in people develop from a few
days to two weeks after being bitten by an infected mosquito. They include rapid onset of
fever and headache and can resemble a case
of the flu. Survivors of EEE infections may suffer from long-term effects to the nervous system. Therapy is limited to treating the symptoms of the disease, but there is no specific
cure. There is a vaccine for horses but not for
humans.
If you have specific questions pertaining to
your horse and EEE please consult your veterinarian or the NCDA&CS at 919-733-7601. Recently NCDA&CS stressed the importance of
vaccination for horses: http://www.ncagr.gov/
paffairs/release/2010/6-10Equinevaccinations.
htm. See http://www.aaep.org/core_vaccinations.htm for additional details.
While there is no vaccine to protect humans
from EEE, the disease can be prevented in
horses with the use of vaccinations. The health
department advises the public to remain diligent in their personal mosquito protection ef- For more information: go to the NC DPH webforts. These efforts should include the “5 D’s” site: http://www.epi.state.nc.us/epi/arbovirus/

The information on this page can help you prepare before
you apply.

-Yourself
-Your spouse
-Your children who live with you, even if they make
enough money to file a tax return themselves
-Your unmarried partner who needs health coverage
-Anyone you include on your tax return as a dependent,

coverage.
Your household income is your modified adjusted
gross income (MAGI) (joint MAGI if you’re married),

money to have to file a tax return.
MAGI is generally your adjusted gross income plus
any tax-exempt Social Security benefits (except for

counted), tax-exempt interest, and tax-exempt foreign
income.
You don’t have to figure out your household income
or MAGI yourself when you fill out your application. It
will be done for you with the income information you
include on the application.

Have I Got A Story To Share With You!
discuss my problems, big or small, with God. But I didn’t
this time and I really don’t know why. But what I do know
is that the fretting and worrying left me feeling physically,
mentally, and spiritually drained. Yet I continued mulling
it over in my thoughts. By the time my son-in-law and
daughter arrived home I had it all figured out. I knew what
was wrong with my Jeep. The problem was the engine and
the only way to fix it, was to buy a new engine. And I
already knew the repair bill was going to be exorbitant...at
least a couple of thousand dollars.
I was so sure of my conclusion that I found it unbelievable
when my son-in-law said; “Mama Debbie, the Jeep’s
battery is dead.” I did all that worrying and the problem
was nothing more than a dead battery.
It can look good under the hood and still not run
One morning last week when I started my Jeep, I thought
there was a slight pause before it started. But then after it
started, I figured it must have been my imagination and
didn’t think anymore of it.
The next day when I turned the key to start my Jeep,
there was a definite pause along with a couple of clicking
sounds before it started. This time I knew it wasn’t my
imagination. All day long anxious thoughts filled my mind
as I worried about what the problem might be and how
much it was going to cost to repair it. Though I have no
knowledge whatsoever of auto mechanics, in my mind I
just knew it had to be a starter, generator, or transmission
problem.
The next day when I tried to start my Jeep it wouldn’t start.
It was as dead as a doornail. Under normal circumstances,
my son-in-law who does maintenance on his own vehicles
would have already checked my Jeep and told me the
problem. However he and my daughter were in Rwanda
on a mission trip and weren’t coming home for another
couple of days.
Fear had now crept into my thoughts and for the next
two days I anxiously fretted the hours away. Normally I
Readers, what things are you worrying about? Take it
from me, it’s not worth it. How I wish I’d shared my Jeep
worries and anxieties with God. Two days that I could have
enjoyed, I lost to worry. Two days that I’ll never get back.
This whole ordeal has taught me that I’m not ‘running’ at
my peak performance as a Christian yet. There’s still quite
a bit of work that needs to be done ‘beneath my hood’.
Father God, teach me by Your Spirit how I can become a
peak-performance, fully charged Christian. May I never
waste another day of my life. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all
your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him,
for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you
watchfully.—1 Peter 5:7
There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will
not be cut off.—Proverbs 23:18
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your
own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.—Proverbs 3:5-6
Yet those who wait for the LORD Will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles, They will run
and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary.—
by Debra Joy Wallace
Isaiah 40:31
Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about
you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will
help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right
hand.—Isaiah 41:10
And my God shall supply all your needs according to His
riches in glory in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:19
Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD And whose
trust is the LORD. For he will be like a tree planted by the
water, That extends its roots by a stream And will not fear
when the heat comes; But its leaves will be green, And it
will not be anxious in a year of drought Nor cease to yield
fruit.—Jeremiah 17:7-8
The LORD also will be a stronghold for the oppressed, A
stronghold in times of trouble, And those who know Thy
name will put their trust in Thee; For Thou, O LORD, hast
not forsaken those who seek Thee.—Psalm 9:9-10
We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed;
perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not
abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.—2
Corinthians 4:8-9
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and
I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn
from Me, for I am gentle and
humble in heart; and you shall
find rest for your souls. For
My yoke is easy, and My load
is light.—Matthew 11:28-30

After six years of worshipping in a brush shelter, a log structure was
built and later destroyed by fire.
In 1878, a new church was built. The church was remodeled in 1965
and a new fellowship hall was annexed in 1976. The church was destroyed by fire on August 18, 1986. Services were held in the Old Big
Piney Grove School Building from October 1986, through December

people auditioned for a
part in our last show of
the year, “IT’S A WONDERFUL
LIFE”
(the
musical
version).This
show is based on the
beloved 1946 film starring the great Jimmy
Stewart.
This musical
faithfully follows George
Bailey’s life from his
childhood dreams to his
midlife disappointments
and beyond, as we all
take a journey to discover whether his life has
mattered at all. Cinematically scored and theatrically staged, this adaptation breathes musical life
into a familiar story, while
retaining the warmth, humor, and pathos of the
original. A new holiday
classic for devotees and
newcomers alike. This is
another “feel good” musical to see, and we hope
to see each and every
one of you in the audience to experience “IT’S
A WONDERFUL LIFE”.
“CRIMES
OF
THE
HEART” opened to an
enthusiastic and appreciative crowd last
weekend. Those attending, got to see both the
tears and jeers of the
four grand-daughters of
“Grand Daddy” as they
try their best, along with
the help of a doctor and
a lawyer, to keep one
of the brood from going to jail over shooting
her husband. I have a
good feeling that you
too, will enjoy both the
laughs and the tears of
this great “dark comedy” once you make the
trek to our little theater.

Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical

astronaut Matt Kowalsky (Clooney) in command of
his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly
routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is
destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely
alone—tethered to nothing but each other and
spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening
silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…
and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic,
every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is
left. But the only way home may be to go further
out into the terrifying expanse of space.

FAMILY FEATURES
utumn brings colorful foliage and perfect weather
for entertaining indoors and out. As you plan your
fall gatherings, consider stopping by your local
farmers market to pick up all the ingredients necessary for preparing a savory home cooked feast
that’s sure to please any crowd. See how local inspiration and
fresh ingredients led celebrity Chef Tim Love to create his most
recent recipes.
Every fall, Chef Love takes inspiration from the end of
summer harvest to create unique dishes, like his latest recipe
for Balsamic Turkey Meatloaf with Balsamic Mayonnaise. Ripe
fall vegetables are the inspiration for his Grilled Chicken Thighs
with Sweet Potato-Balsamic Salad and his Grilled Brussels
Sprouts with Balsamic Mayonnaise. All three recipes include
Hellmann’s® Creamy Balsamic Mayonnaise Dressing, which
combines the rich, great taste of Hellmann’s® that you love with
a touch of sweet, aged balsamic vinegar.
Whether you’re hosting a casual evening with friends or
having the whole family over for a relaxing Sunday afternoon,
these simple recipes are perfect for any occasion. Pair the dishes
with clean table decor and your favorite refreshing beverages
for an easy evening of entertaining. Carry a traditional theme
throughout the tablescape by using mismatched plates, cutlery
and glasses. Tie napkins and cutlery together with twine, and
then tuck in a little bouquet of fresh herbs from the garden to
add a dash of color and homegrown goodness.
For a daytime gathering, take the dining table outside to enjoy
the beautiful fall weather and final weeks of grilling season. Lay
out a blanket for the kids to picnic, and add a few games to keep
them entertained. Savor the season by enjoying delicious meals
and lasting memories in the company of your loved ones. For

Sixth Win On The Season

Clinton’s Kris Royal, #7, gets smashed by a Midway defender but not before picking up
enough yardage for another Dark Horse first down during the second quarter of Friday’s
game. The visiting Dark Horses held on for an exciting 21-18 victory over the Raiders
The Clinton Dark Horses went into Spivey’s Corner Friday, Oct. 11, and left with a 21-18
victory over the previously unbeaten Midway Raiders.
Clinton came into the game ready to play, scoring the first 14-points of the contest on
a pretty 43-yard touchdown run by Silas Herring. Dark Horse defender Kenneth Ford
effectively ended the beginnings of a Raider drive by picking off a pass and returning it for
a touchdown.
Midway finally got on the board before the half on a field goal from Junior Barajas. The
team came out in the third and put together an impressive drive ending on a short run by
Cody Baker, putting the Raiders back into the game, trailing 14-10.

North Raleigh Christian Academy
RALEIGH -The Harrells Christian Crusaders continued to remain perfect on the
road at 4-0 with a 72-35 stomping over the North Raleigh Knights Friday, Oct. 11,
pushing their overall record to 6-2.
Behind another impressive effort from the Crusaders on both sides of the ball, the
offense took a 56-21 lead into the half and never looked back.
On offense, Sammy Dixon (18 carries for 153 yards), Kelly Nelms (12 carries for
148 yards), Marcus Scarborough (14 carries for 104 yards), Channing Kelly (11
carries for 67 yards) and Luke Davis (4 carries for 40 yards) led the charge for the
Crusaders. Harrells offense added 16 points in the third quarter, but the game was
already over by the half.
Clinton’s Kris Royal delivered a beautiful kickoff return touchdown run, putting Clinton
up 21-10.
Defensively, Justin Smith led the way with 7 solo tackles; Ben Parker followed
with 6. Kelly Nelms and Cory Sutton, each had 3 solo tackles. Rooks Weeks and
Sammy Dixon each had 2.
Troy Spell returned the favor on Clinton’s kickoff, running back deep into Dark Horse
territory. Baker got in again, putting Midway behind 21-16. A successful conversion pass
put the Raiders down by just 3 with just a few minutes left in the third quarter.
The Christian Crusaders will host Mount Zion Christian Academy this Friday, Oct.
18 at home in a non-conference battle. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
Although both teams had opportunities to score in the fourth quarter, the rest was essentially
a defensive battle.
Both teams will hit the road this Friday night. The Dark Horses (now at 4-2) will travel to
Union this week to face the Spartans (2-5); Midway will travel to Wallace-Rose Hill to face
the (6-1) Bulldogs. Both games begin at 7:30 p.m.

Lakewood’s Rashyda Parker Is Aces On And
Off The Court; Named Athlete Of The Week
Parker said she became interested in sports in
middle school. In addition to volleyball, she is
also a standout on the Lakewood High School
basketball squad.
Athlete of the Week Lakewood High School
Junior Rashyda Parker
Lakewood High School junior Rashyda Parker
said she is honored to be named The Sampson
Weekly’s Star Athlete of the Week for her work on
the volleyball court. The 16-year-old was nominated
by her coach Sheila Davidson.
“She was nominated for her consistent efforts at
practice and games,” the coach said. “Also for our
win against Spring Creek with her amazing play and
leadership to redeem the Leopards from an early
season loss.” In that victory, Rashyda had a doubledouble in the game and was in double digits in kills
and blocks
Davidson, who has been coaching Rashyda for
the past three years on the volleyball court, notes
that without her play in the middle of the court, the
Leopards could be another team altogether.
“She is a valuable member of this team,” she said
flatly. “We would turn from an ‘A’ team to a ‘C’
team very quickly without this domination in the
middle. The vertical jump on Rashyda is amazing
and overpowering. This is my third year coaching
Rashyda and with her in the middle, we have lost
only seven games in three years.”
For Parker, being honored by her coach was the
culmination of long hours on the court. “I was
very surprised that I was chosen because I wasn’t
expecting it,” she said. “But I also felt a sense of
relief and confirmation that all my hard work is
paying off.”
try to show good sportsmanship no matter what
the scoreboard shows,” she said. “I’m a hard
worker, a good team player and I’m dedicated.”
“I’ve been interested in athletics ever since I
began middle school,” she said. “I enjoy playing
volleyball because I’m a competitive person and
quite simply because I love the game.”
Parker’s parents, Derrick Parker and Tamekia
James, said they were proud she was honored.
“She never gives up,” said Tamekia James. “At
every game, we always tell her to play her best
and she does.”
For Davidson, Parker’s consistent play on the
court is one thing; her character only serves to
heighten her positive attitude.
And athletics runs in her family. Parker’s father,
Derrick, was a three-sport star in football,
basketball and ran track for Clinton High School.
“Rashyda is a dependable and responsible athlete
that I can count on - on a daily basis, on the court
during practice and games,” she said. “I can count
on her to carry a positive attitude at all times
no matter the situation - win or lose. The team
counts on Rashyda for her consistent power and
play in the middle. This season, no other player
has shown as much power and consistent play
as Rashyda. She has been unstoppable in the
middle for the Leopards this season. Lakewood
can count on her to hold positive character traits
on and off the court and into the community.
Rashyda is a mentor for her school and she even
mentors freshmen.”
Rashyda said that she would love to continue her
volleyball career in college. “I would like to attend
East Carolina University or WSSU to major in
nursing,” she admits. “But I would like to play
volleyball in college because it’s something that I
love to do and it would also be something that will
help keep me focused in school.”
According to Lakewood High’s Dr. David
Yarasheski, “Rashyda is a member of the Beta
Club, has been selected as an Academic All-Star,
and is a member of the “A” honor roll.”
“Rashyda stands out in class because she
genuinely gives her best effort at all times,”
Yarasheski said. “She offers to help others who may
be having some difficulty with the material. She’s
not very vocal, but understands the information
and catches on very quickly.” That unique ability
has helped her with teaching others, the educator
noted. “Her ability to quickly grasp the information
presented and the fact that she will ‘tutor’ others
who may not understand the material right away.”
It is a gift that leaves an indelible mark of those
she comes in contact with.
“Rashyda is really a quality young lady,” continues
Yarasheski. “She already understands that in
order to reach her career goal (pediatric nurse)
that she needs to apply herself and work hard in
high school. She is very mature for a junior and
has the intelligence and perseverance to achieve
her life’s goals.”
The humble Parker said that she gives 100 percent
in everything she does, especially on the court. “I
However, when she looks back on her high school
career, Parker said she will reflect with pride as
being a Leopard.
“The best part about playing LHS volleyball is
knowing that when you graduate, you will be part
of a tradition,” she said. “Lakewood has been
known for being at the top when it comes to
volleyball and I am proud of playing a small part
in that.”
She also will reflect on her coach. “Ms. Davidson
has had a huge impact on me as a player,” she
said flatly. “I would not be half of the player I am
today if it had not been for her.”
No matter what, Davidson said, she will always
be there for Rashyda.
“My hope is that she will always cherish her high
school volleyball memories,” the coach said.
“First and foremost my hope is that she achieves
all of her academic dreams and that she receives
a volleyball scholarship and gets into her college
of choice. Also my hope is for her to know that
I will always be here for her in reaching these
endeavors.”
For now though, both player and coach will focus
on her senior year.
Each week The Sampson Weekly and
Performance Automotive will feature a “Star
Athlete of the Week” from each high school in
Sampson County. Look for next week’s Star
Athlete.

A lot of Funeral Homes have taken SERVICE out of Funeral Service
Living in the modern age of smart phones, lap tops, ipads and all the other things that we enjoy, some people might think that we are living in good times. I agree that all of
these things make our lives simpler. The only thing about this is that in the process we have lost a lot of the personal touch that generations before us enjoyed. One thing that
stands out in my mind, is how in years gone by doctors made house calls. This way the person that was sick just stayed at home and rested until the doctor arrived. Much in the
same way I don’t understand how we have gotten to the point in the funeral profession that funeral directors feel like the family that has lost a loved one and are grieving (sick),
should have to leave their home, while friends are stopping by to visit and pay their respects. Why should they have to come to your big office and sit across from you, sitting
behind your big executive desk, in your high back leather chair to make funeral arrangements, after all they are the ones hurting (sick), not you or I. For this reason I want people
to know that when they face the loss of a loved one, you do not have to leave your home to make funeral arrangements. I will be honored to come to your home at any time that
is best for you. So whether it is to make funeral arrangements for a loved one that has passed away or to make pre-need arrangements, I am as close as a phone call away. Like
the old doctors, I still make house calls. We have our own state of the art crematory on site to serve families that choose cremation. We honor pre- arrangements from other
funeral homes, usually at no cost to you.

Chamber Chat
With Janna Bass
The Clinton-Sampson Chamber of Commerce is honored to partner with the Small Business Center at
Sampson Community College for a variety of seminars
throughout each year. Seminars such as Social Media
Marketing, Investing Local, Tax Updates, SimplyMaps, and many more. We strive to offer seminars that
meet the needs of the community in order to educate
for economic growth within the business community. We are excited to announce
that the Chamber of Commerce, the Small Business Center, and Sampson County Economic Development Commission have partnered to host the First Annual
Hispanic Entrepreneurial Academy Series on the campus of Sampson Community College.
The Hispanic Entrepreneurial Academy will span 3 separate Saturdays, October
26th, November 16th, and December 7th and will include five seminars taught in
Spanish. At the conclusion of the Entrepreneurial Academy Series, each participate will be recognized and presented a Certificate of Participation.
All seminars are brought to the community at no charge. Our first two of the five
part series will begin Saturday, October 26th. From 9:30am to 11:30am a seminar led in Spanish will be on “How to Start a Small Business” in room O-140
at Sampson Community College. The second seminar from 12:30pm to 2:30pm
will be “How to Write a Business Plan” also led in Spanish.
The remaining three seminars will consist of “How to Market your Business” and
“How to finance your Business” on Saturday, November 16th and “How to Meet
your Tax Requirements” followed by the presentation of certificates on Saturday,
December 7th. Again, on behalf of the hosting partners, we are looking forward
to a great five part educational series led in the Spanish Language for the Latino
Business Owners within Sampson County.
If you have questions about this opportunity or other educational seminars, give
us a call at (910) 592-6177. We look forward to continuing to serve the Chamber
Membership and local Community with such educational opportunities.

CLINTON HIGH SCHOOL’S
MARKETING CLASS
THIS HALLOWEEN, DON’T BE
SPOOKED BY THE INTERNET
By Brenda Brown
Social Security Public Affairs Specialist
in Fayetteville, NC
Don’t look now, but it’s Halloween!
Halloween is time for kids of all ages to
dress up in costumes and go trick-ortreating. But it is also a time of visiting
haunted houses and watching those
scary horror films. Think of the movies
that frightened you the most, and they
usually have an element of fear of the
unknown.
Doing business online may also needlessly frighten people. When it
comes to Social Security, however, there is nothing to be spooked
about. We take all the fear out of doing business online.
The Director of the Clinton-Sampson Chamber of Commerce speaks
to Clinton High School’s marketing class about the role of the Chamber,
highlighting Sponsorships. Marketing Teacher at CHS, Venetia Mann, asked
Janna Bass to speak to her students about Sponsorship Objectives, Proposals,
and Agreements. Janna Bass stated “The Chamber is honored to be a part
of educating the youth within Sampson County and we look forward to
assisting any way we can. The youth within Sampson County are the next
generation of business owners and employees and the Chamber is honored
to assist with providing information and opportunities to these students.”
There are a number of things you can do online at www.socialsecurity.
gov, and none of them should send as much as a shiver down your
spine. Save yourself a trip to a Social Security office and transact
your business from the comfort of your home. No need to be afraid to
go online; it’s so easy and safe to do business at www.socialsecurity.
