Bass continued, “In order to distribute the coats, we reached
out to a variety of businesses and organizations that have
community outreach, and they have submitted requests. As
we begin to collect coats, we will begin to fulfill those requests as best as possible, in a first come, first serve basis.
Currently we have had requests for over 300 coats and the
majority of those have been from within elementary and
middle schools throughout the county. We are currently
taking requests for those in need or if you know of someone
in need, please call the Chamber office, 592.6177. Once we
are able to fulfill your request, we will bring the coat(s) to
the Chamber office and ask that the one who placed the
request pick up the coat(s) to distribute if needed.”

WEEKLY VERSE
2 Corinthians 4:4
In their case the god of
this world has blinded
the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them
from seeing the light of
the gospel of the glory
of Christ, who is the
image of God.
Janna Bass, Executive Director of the Clinton Sampson
Chamber of Commerce stated, “The kickoff event for the
3rd Annual Coat Closet Kick Off was held today November 1st from Noon to 6:00pm at the Clinton City Market.
The kickoff event was filled with local entertainment as
the community was able to bring their coats to be donated.
Coat collection will continue throughout the month of November at the over 30 drop off sites throughout Sampson
County. Our goal is to have all of the coats distributed prior
to Christmas. We do ask that the donated coats be new or
gently used. We are in need of a wide variety of sizes, from
infants through adults.”
Election officials hard at work registering voters at One Stop Voting
With the November 6th Election date fast approaching, many Sampson
County voters have taken advantage of the Early One Stop Voting this year.
According to Donna Marshburn, SC Board of Elections Director on Tuesday
of this week, “We are continuing to have a steady flow of people voting one
stop. We voted 13,739 one stop voters in 2008. We have not
reached that total as of today, but we have five more
VOTING, see P3
days to go.”
“The Coat Closet Project began in 2009 as a program in
order to assist those in need. With this being the 3rd year
of this signature community project, the majority of the
families served will be residents of Sampson County but
we will assist any family that requests a coat from this initiative. Our goal is to meet the needs of families who are
not financially able to provide warm coats for themselves
and their children.”

5K Charity
Run - Success

The First Annual “5K- Run Like You’re Guilty” marathon was

weather, community, runners, walkers and the North Carolina
Justice Academy were all well prepared for this charity event.
According to Alice Butler, coordinator of the event, “We had
91 entries that competed on Thursday, however over 150
registered. The event raised $3,000.00 for the Hope For The
Warriors.”
Mark Strickland, NCJA Director, was very pleased with the
event. He stated, “It just goes to show what happens when
everyone works together. It took a lot of people to make
this event happen. All I have heard is positive comments
and ‘When will you be doing this again?’ Hopefully, it will
become an annual event.”
The Winning Runners were:
Top 3 female winners: Jennifer Oliver (24:43); Sandy Carson
(26:53); Anna Peele (27:34)
Top 3 male winners: Malik Cooper (21:34); Jeffrey
Zimmerman (21:45); Tony McAllister (22:28)

Ms. Butler said, “This was the first time NCJA has held a
Charity 5K. We could not be more pleased with the support
from the Town of Salemburg and the community. The whole
community of Salemburg was excited about the event. The
owners of Merritt’s Grill said that it was what everyone was
talking about in the restaurant.”
Walker, Marcella Bonner exclaimed, “The most interesting
thing that I learned from the 5K race is that I gained more
knowledge about the mission of ‘Hope For The Warriors’.
They are dedicated to restoring the quality of life for post
9/11 service members who have suffered psychological and/or
physical wounds. I have always had respect for people in the
military and my heart goes out to the sacrifices that they make
on a daily basis so that I can have the freedoms that I enjoy so
much and have taken for granted for so many years.”
Devin M. Peterson commented, “The Run Like You’re Guilty

walk/run had a great turn-out. Close to 100 participants ran or
walked to support those who serve through the ‘Hope For the
Warriors’ charity organization. An event such as this has never
taken place before in Salemburg. The town of Salemburg
along with many local small businesses pitched in to to make
this event possible. Many participants ran for fitness. Some
participants ran for fun. All the participants ran in recognition
of servicemen and women. The event gave people a chance to
socialize and reconnect for a good cause.”
Butler concluded, “It took a team of many people for this
event. We could not have done it without our sponsors: Town
of Salemburg, Friends of NCJA, Ace Services, Jim’s Pawn
Shop, Joe Warren Service Center, Merritt’s Restaurant &
Grill, NC Law Enforcement Training Officers Association
and Salem Pizza. Also the staff of NCJA, Tarheel Challenge,
Sampson County Sheriff’s Office, and Sampson County
Emergency Medical Services were all integral parts in making
this a successful event.”

2:00.”
Marshburn continued, “Our Early Voting locations are Sampson County Board of Elections, 335
County Complex Road, Clinton, N. C. Hours of
Early voting are Monday, Wednesday and Friday
8:00 A. M. till 8:00 P. M. Tuesday and Thursday
hours are 8:00 A.M. till 5:00 P.M. On Saturday,
November 3, all sites will be open at 10:00 A. M.
and close at 2:00 P. M. This will end early voting.
If a person has not registered by the end of early
voting they will not be allowed to register and vote
on Election Day. This could only be done at Early
Voting.”
“Our other off-site locations are the Roseboro Municipal Building at 101 W. Pleasant Street in Roseboro, Garland Rescue Building at 20 Rich Road in
Garland, Newton Rescue Building at 301 W. Weeksdale Street in Newton Grove. They are all open
on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 3:00 P.M.
According to Ms. Marshburn, once a person votes
during Early Voting, the person’s vote is recorded in
the data system and the system will not allow them
to vote again. This is done at all locations, ensuring
that registered voters who vote during the Early Voting cannot attempt to vote again on Election Day.
Regarding voter registration numbers, there are
37,635 registered voters in Sampson County that
could potentially vote in the 2012 election. With the
2010 US Census numbers indicating that 63,431
people live in Sampson County, and considering
25% of these are under the age of 18 and therefore unable to vote, approximately 47,500 people
in Sampson County are of voting age. With 37,635
registered voters nearly 80% of Sampson County’s
eligible voting population has participated at some
level in the election process.

still under investigation and no further information is available.”
project began under the direction of Jeff Shipp when he
was the Chamber President. This was an idea that he presented to the board as a way for the
Chamber to give back to the community.”
This is the third bomb threat that the courthouse has received this year and Lakewood
High School received a bomb threat a couple of weeks ago as well on October 16th.
The Sampson County Courthouse was the target of another Bomb Threat earlier in
the year on April 18 with a call coming in from a pay phone in Goldsboro. The second
bomb threat occurred on Monday October 15th with the call coming in from Duplin
County to the Duplin County 911 Center. According to sheriff’s department officials,
“all three incidents are still under investigation.”
“Last year, 1028 coats were collected and distributed. We hope that with the community’s
assistance, we are able to assist just as many as last year, if not more. While this year we
will be leaning more on the communities help with donations, in that we will not be able
to purchase as many coats as we have in years past. I encourage each resident of Sampson
County to take the challenge to donate 1 coat to this project in order to give the gift of
warmth this winter.”
Captain Eric Pope stressed after the October 16th threat that the investigation is ongoing and the department should have no problem identifying the suspects. This is a
felony crime punishable by criminal prosecution, fines and even jail time. According
to sheriff’s department officials, the person could also be subject to restitution for all
people that were impacted including wasted government employee time and county
and state resources used during the evacuation and investigation. Captain Pope stated, “Judges do not like it when you put them and their staff in danger. I would not like
to go before a judge that this might have impacted. Ultimately, it is putting a threat
on a judge’s life.”
“The Coat Closet Committee is a group of Chamber Members that wanted to help in this
initiative. The 2012 Coat Closet Committee Chair is Marie Daniels from Liberty Home
Care and Hospice and the Co-Chair is Sherri Smith from Patriot State Bank. Our signature
sponsor this year is Four County Electric with their Operation Round up and Kiwanis and
Butterball are Belt Sponsors $500.”
According to Sampson County Clerk of Court Norman Wayne Naylor, “This is getting
ridiculous. I hope they catch whoever is doing this. I am always concerned for my employee’s safety and of course the threat has increased that concern. From our understanding the call came in from Goldsboro again this time. All people attending court
were safely evacuated including the Clerk of Court, DA’s office, probation, Superior
Court Judges office, and District Court Judges office.” Naylor continued, “Fortunately,
nothing was found and we were allowed back in around 1:30pm.”
Bass concluded, “There are over 30 drop-off locations throughout Sampson County. We
tried to pick a variety of locations in order to make it easy for the community to donate
coats as well as get a variety of businesses and organizations involved. For more information about drop off locations, we encourage you to visit our website at www.clintonsampsonchamber.org. The Coat Closet is yet another way of “working together for total
community development”. While through this project, we are not only helping others stay
warm this winter but we are also reminding those that receive the coats how important they
are in Sampson County. Through partnerships, community involvement, and donations, this
project is possible. We thank each of you for your involvement, your donations, and your
willingness to help others this winter season. “
The Sampson Weekly will bring our readers more details as they become available.

Warsaw Remembers Our Vets - For 92 Consecutive Years
proud to call them Hero’s.
Warsaw’s Veterans Day Celebration started in November
of 1921 by Judge Henry L. Stevens Jr. and at that time
was known as the Armistice Day Parade. It later became
the Warsaw Veterans Day Celebration and is now the
longest continuous Veteran Day commemoration in the
United States. In 1995 during the 75th Anniversary, The
Veterans Day Commemoration was dedicated to Judge
Stevens’ memory as Warsaw’s “Native Son”. And since
that first celebration in 1921 it has never been cancelled
or postponed.
Veterans Day in Warsaw has been a day of family and
friends for many years. Rouse recalls, “Veterans Day was
a very important day in our family. It was a day that the
whole family would gather on Front Street in Warsaw to
watch the Parade; to see all the Marching Units and their
equipment, the bands and clowns and of course the candy.
We all got to go the Carnival. My father served in the
Army and the local National Guard unit.” Rouse goes on
to say that Veterans Day, “…means a time of celebration
of freedom, and to honor those who gave us this freedom.
Also a time of remembrance for those that gave it all so
that we can enjoy the freedoms that we have.”
Mayor Batten states, “As a veteran, I am very proud of
the things we do to honor and thank our veterans. I know
that ‘freedom is not free’ and we need to take every opportunity we have to say ‘Thank You’ to our veterans.”
Titled “Celebrate Freedom”, Warsaw’s 92nd Consecutive
Veterans Day Celebration will take place Saturday, November 10th beginning with a Pancake Breakfast at Warsaw’s Masonic Lodge at 8:00 AM. The rest of the day will
be packed full of festive events, including a Memorial Service at 10:00 AM and Veterans Day Parade at 11:00 AM
with a Fly Over and Special Forces Jump. The celebration
will end with a Street Dance at Warsaw’s Veterans Park
wrapping up at 4:00 PM.
Warsaw, which sits just 12 miles east of Clinton, holds
claim to our nations “Oldest Consecutive Veteran’s Day
Celebration”. Mayor Win Batten of Warsaw remarked, “I
think the people of Warsaw are very proud of the record
(Oldest Consecutive Celebration of Veteran’s Day ) and
we do many things in our community to honor and thank
those who have served plus those currently serving. As
you know, we have the Duplin County Veterans Museum
here in Warsaw and we also have a celebration each Memorial Day to honor those who died while serving their
country.”
The Duplin County Veteran Museum was established as a
tribute to all Duplin County Veterans who served whether
in war time or peace time. Museum Curator, Earl Rouse
says, “Our current Honor Roll list 4,610 veterans from the
Voluntary war to current times. We invite everyone that is
attending our celebration to come by and visit the Museum
located at 119 E. Hill Street Warsaw. The Museum is located within walking distance of all Veterans Day Activities.
The Museum will be opened from 1 to 4pm on Veterans
Day. All other times the Museum will be open each Thursday and Friday from 1 to 4pm.”
Rouse, himself a veteran, says of the Veterans Day Celebration, “The people of Warsaw and its surrounding community are very proud of our Military Personnel; those that
have served and those that are now serving. To say that we
have the oldest and longest continuous Celebration shows
the dedication and pride for our Servicemen and Women
and most of all this is our way to say THANK YOU. There
was a time when our servicemen and women returned home
without a hero’s welcome. Here in Warsaw we are very

Warsaw is a Veterans Day Regional site again for 2012,
and Mayor Batten credits the community for Warsaw’s
nationally recognized Veterans Day Celebration, “Our
Veterans Committee and the Warsaw Chamber of Commerce are the leaders in putting together our celebration
each year and they do a fantastic job in finding new ways
to improve our events. This year will have some new
things, including a street dance, following the parade. I
would like to thank the many businesses, community organizations, our schools, and citizens who put together
floats and other entries in the parade. It is truly a “Home
Grown” effort and one that deserves our support.”
Batten concluded his comments by expressing hope for a
peaceful world. “I hope and pray that we can end the war
that currently puts out troops at risk and that we can work
to develop a peaceful world where everyone can live in
peace and harmony.”
There will be many opportunities to celebrate and dedicate November 10th, and Warsaw welcomes all to celebrate with them.

worked with Friday, got to know him very
well. McCullen says that to many that worked
with Friday, he was a mentor on a personal
level.
“The passing of 92 year old William Friday is a
real loss for North Carolina,” states McCullen.
“The historical significance William Friday
has played in North Carolina,” according to
McCullen, “especially regarding progress
in the university system, will not be fully
recognized for some time.” Friday’s UNC-TV
show aired for 42 seasons, and as McCullen
recalls, “Even in his frail state over this past
Kelly McCullen with JW Simmons host of “We Should Know”
summer, Friday said he wanted to do one more
season.” Friday’s last show was recorded in
Tuesdays from 2:30 PM until 3:30 PM, J.W. Simmons hosts a July with guest General Hugh Shelton, retired Chairman of the
radio show on 1170 AM called “We Should Know”, and The Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Sampson Weekly will feature portions of the transcripts in
our continuing efforts to bring you more coverage of what is McCullen says that Friday was very well respected with a
happening in our community. The guest for this week’s show bipartisan political appeal; and was active in contributing to the
was Kelly McCullen, senior correspondent & state political discussion of North Carolina until the end. “William Friday was
reporter for UNC-TV’s North Carolina Now and host of an absolutely brilliant gentleman,” states McCullen,” sharp as a
tack; and North Carolina is going to miss him.”
North Carolina Legislative Week in Review.
Kelly McCullen was born and raised in Clinton, NC and is a
graduate of Clinton High School. Kelly started his career, in
radio, at Clinton’s WRRZ-AM. He attended North Carolina
State University and launched his television career at UNCTV as an intern in the audio department.
Kelly’s on-camera career started in Greenville, Mississippi,
with WXVT-TV’s news department where Kelly eventually
became a nightly news anchor and assistant news director.
Kelly is now the host of UNC-TV’s North Carolina Legislative
Week in Review and is also a senior correspondent & state
political reporter for UNC-TV’s North Carolina Now.
McCullen is currently traveling the state of North Carolina
covering feature stories, or “slice of life stories”, as McCullen
calls them, for UNC-TV. These are the stories McCullen
says he most enjoys. McCullen is also getting ready for the
political season and the NC Legislative “Long Session”,
which he states should run, in theory, between January 9th
and July 1st.
JW Simmons begins the show by asking Kelly McCullen to
speak a little about the special segment McCullen recently did
on the late William Friday. McCullen says that the segment
can be found on UNC-TV’s website as well as YouTube.
McCullen states that William Friday was in fact a very
approachable person; and that he knew people who, having
Next JW Simmons asks McCullen, speaking about history, to
comment on the sense that we rarely see that much in way of new
events; but are most often seeing things again that have played
out in the past, particularly in government and politics. McCullen
says that history typically repeats itself on a whole host of issues.
He goes on to reference that people of a generation who may have
experienced a situation will eventually start to die out, such as is
now happening with the generation that experienced the Great
Depression; and as a society, loses the wisdom and experience
of a generation, that society will begin to re-experience events.
McCullen says that most likely, in 60 or 70 years, something
similar to now will happen and his grandchildren will realize
that when old man Kelly said times were hard, he was right.
That is what we’ve experienced over that past 5 years or so says
McCullen, and it sets a tone for the future.
Simmons, stating that there is now a wealth of programming
choices with varying levels of depth of reporting, asks Kelly
McCullen to discuss the recent political debates, and the role that
a moderator plays during those debates. Kelly, stating that he did
watch all 3 gubernatorial and presidential debates, suggests that
the main role of a moderator during a debate is to keep the debate
participants within the agreed format, maintain the agreed time
restraints and stay on topic. McCullen says that each campaign
agrees to the rules of the debate well prior to ever reaching the
studio; and that those rules typically imply that one participant
is allotted a specific amount of time to answer a question,
and the other participant is allotted a specific amount of
time for a rebuttal.
McCullen says that during North Carolina’s gubernatorial
debates, moderated by UNC-TV’s Shannon Vickery, the
debates were well moderated and remained within the time
restraints agreed to prior to the debates. McCullen says that
while moderating, Vickery would state to the participants
that their time was up. “Even though that may seem a bit
rude or forceful,” says McCullen, “that is the appropriate
way to moderate a debate.” McCullen reminds readers that
both campaigns agreed to a laundry list of rules before the
debate began.
On the other hand, the presidential debates became very
interesting, especially as McCullen says, because Jim
Lehrer received a lot of criticism for letting President
Obama and Mitt Romney go back-and-forth with each
other. McCullen says that he found the first debate with
Lehrer to be very entertaining and that he felt Lehrer
did a good job as moderator. The second debate, with
Candy Crowley as moderator, is as McCullen says when
allegations of referring came up. McCullen says that
Crowley jumped in on a fact that left doors open for both
the right and the left to argue semantics over “act of terror”
versus “Terror Attach” in Benghazi. McCullen says that
he would not have jumped into that foray. McCullen says
that it’s not the moderator’s job to pick the brush job, and
that Crowley should have allowed the candidates to paint
the picture.
McCullen says that many people expect journalist to not
have an opinion, but that is actually a fallacy. Journalists
are human and have personal opinions just as everyone else
does, however that opinion should not be apparent through
the work that a journalist is doing. McCullen states that
there is a lot of money being made, particularly on cable
news channels, in opinionated commentary, but that is not
real journalism. Opinionated commentary is very lucrative
because people enjoy the partisan back-and-forth that it
offers, but says McCullen; people need to separate those
shows from the straight news reporting before making
their judgments.
The next “We Should Know” hosted by J.W. Simmons
will air next Tuesday from 2:30 to 3:30 PM on our local

have been working with their project since at least June, competing at several county fairs.
Many parents find that traveling to & preparing for shows is a great opportunity for family
bonding, while also teaching responsibility & building confidence in their child.
Sampson County had many highlights during the fair. Exhibitors at the state level included Will and Hunter Mercer, Owen Flock, Chase Piercy, and Chasen Matthis. Finalist for showmanship included Hannah
Horne- cattle, Colbey Matthis- sheep,
and Shane Kendall- pigs, sheep, and
cattle. First year pig showman Wyatt
Kendall was awarded Reserve Champion Junior Showman. Carlie Piercy
appeared to have a natural bond with
her heifer, placing first at six Eastern
Circuit Shows. This all led up to her
being named the Champion Intermediate Cattle Showman at the State level.
Heather Goodrich has been showing
lambs for fifteen years & her hard work
paid off as the judge named her lamb

Billy Graham Looks Forward To 94Th Birthday-Evangelist
Never Thought He Would Live This Long
As evangelist Billy Graham prepares to celebrate his
94th birthday on November 7, he has been reflecting
on the previous year and preparing for what God has
in store for him during his 95th year on the planet.
“I never expected I would live this long, outliving my
beloved wife Ruth as well as many friends and loved
ones,” Mr. Graham said. “I believe God must still have
a purpose for keeping me here, and I look forward to
seeing what that might be.”
Mr. Graham continues to be called upon to provide
perspective on world events and the spiritual state
of our nation, especially heading into a presidential
election. He has encouraged all Americans to join
him in praying for our country and its leaders during
this critical time. He regularly prays for the President,
those who are currently in office, and those who are
seeking to lead our nation into the future.
This includes presidential candidate Gov. Mitt Romney,
who recently visited in the evangelist’s western North
Carolina home while on a campaign stop in nearby
Asheville. During their 30-minute meeting, which also
involved Mr. Graham’s son, Franklin, the men discussed
a wide range of topics, including broad issues of faith,
the moral decline in our country and the importance
of emphasizing biblical values amidst the cultural shift
of America. At the close of the meeting, Mr. Graham
offered a prayer for the Governor, his family and our
nation and committed his ongoing prayers and spiritual
support for him and his family.
With the election falling one day before his birthday,
Mr. Graham will be watching the results closely, as well
as praying for those who are elected. He keeps up with
world events and has a great concern for our nation as
he’s observed a decline in respect for biblical values.
Currently, the evangelist is working diligently to finalize
the manuscript for his 31st book summarizing the
Gospel message of God’s love and forgiveness that he
has faithfully preached
for more than 60 years.
Mr. Graham is excited
about the book’s release
sometime next year and
is considering additional
writing projects as there
is still much on his mind
that he would like to
share.

project and hopes to be able to participate in some

Earlier this year, Mr. Graham authorized Chicken Soup
for the Soul to create a special hardcover anthology
documenting his life and legacy, Chicken Soup for the
Soul: Billy Graham & Me, to be released February
2013. This compilation will contain 101 personal and
impactful stories from influential leaders – including
the last six presidents – as well as Mr. Graham’s
friends and family documenting his influence on their
lives and the impact of his worldwide ministry over
more than six decades.
As in years past, Mr. Graham plans a quiet birthday
celebration at home with his family, and looks forward
to spending time with his children, grandchildren and
great-grandchildren. “I love them all and can’t wait to
see them again,” he said.

Have I Got A Story To Share With You!
by Debra Joy Wallace
“The Christian faith is
my compass for how
I live my life. My
passion is teaching
and coaching others
on how to integrate a
mind, body and spirit
approach to healthy
living from a biblical
perspective.”—Dale
Fletcher, M.S.
Readers, I am thrilled
to welcome back Dale
Wellness
Dale Fletcher, Wellness Coach Fletcher,
Coach and Course
Developer of “Pathway 2 Wholeness Bible Study” a
study that connects the dots between biblical principles
and whole-person health. Contact information is listed
at the end of this article for those who are interested in
participating or leading a Pathway 2 Wholeness Bible
Study in your neighborhood or church.
Readers, please join me in a short prayer. Father God, I
realize that I need to take better care of my physical body.
Lord, as I read Dale’s article may Your Holy Spirit speak to
my heart those things that I need to begin applying to my
life. Lord, help me break the habit of overeating. In Jesus
name I pray and ask. Amen.
“Overweight? Find Freedom from Overeating”
Have you lost hope in your weight loss efforts? Do you
lack self control in your eating or are you an emotional
eater? Is your willpower to sustain your exercise program
waning? If you struggle with these issues to maintain a
healthy weight you’re not alone. Read on to see how your
faith can help.
What the Bible Says:
I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never
be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be
thirsty.—Jesus in John 6:35
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it with good things.
But I would feed you with the finest wheat. I would satisfy
you with wild honey from the rock.—Psalm 81: 10, 16
For there is only one God and one Mediator who can
reconcile God and humanity—the man Christ Jesus.
He gave his life to purchase freedom for everyone.—1
Timothy 2:5-6
As pressure and stress bear down on me, I find joy in your
commands.—Psalm 119:143
I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your
commandments.—Psalm 119:45
What You Can Do: When turning to food to cope with
emotions or stress becomes a habit and continued in excess
it can contribute to weight challenges. God tells us in the
Bible that if we turn to Him and follow His ways that
He’ll take care of our emotional and spiritual needs. When
we’re stressed or upset, God does not want us to go to the
refrigerator and eat foods that might temporarily soothe us.
Instead, He wants us to go to Him to meet what really may
be a spiritual or emotional need. God wants us to have the
“best of foods.” A candy bar, piece of cake or a bowl of ice
cream will do little to satisfy an emotional or spiritual need
but God can, as the verses above tell us.
The Hebrew word for rock in verse 16 of Psalm 81 is sur
meaning a place of security and safety. That’s what God
wants to be for us. When we need a place of security
of safety He wants to be that place for us. When we are
stressed over a life situation and are looking to feed the
temporary emotions like loneliness, fear, anxiety or pain
God does not want us to turn to food to be satisfied. He
wants us to turn to Him. He wants to “feed” us in a way
that really satisfies our deep needs.
It’s not necessarily what or how much we’re eating that
may be the main issue with food but rather it’s what’s
eating us deep on the inside. The next time you have a deep
need because of a situation or event in your life, try turning
to God instead of food. Put on a favorite CD or start up
your MP3 player and listen to songs that remind you of
God’s nature. Open up the Bible and read your favorite
scriptures. Or humbly get down on your knees and pour
out your heart to God. Ask Him to meet that deep need.
Perhaps you’ve lost hope in your efforts to lose weight.
A deepening of faith in God and in the promises found in
the Bible can provide you hope. Do you find that you lack
the self control to limit the amount and type of food that
you’re eating? The deeper your faith and the more time
you stay connected with God, the more self control you’ll
likely develop. (Galatians 5: 22-23) Or maybe you’ve lost
Speechless
Romans 8:26-27 – In the same way, the
Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not
know what we ought to pray for, but the
Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans
that words cannot express. And he who
searches our hearts knows the mind of the
Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the
saints in accordance with God’s will.
By Vanessa W. Polk
I woke up very early the
other day. I slipped out
of bed and knelt down
beside it, my head
rested gently against
folded hands. It was
quiet.
Darkness still
covered the morning
sky and only a hint of
illumination from nearby
street lights peeked
through the window.
A deep breath and
the gasp of a simple
sigh were the only
sounds I uttered. Soon
thereafter, and without
any warning, I felt a wet
trickle lodge itself in the
corner of my eye.
I remained motionless.
I could not talk.
I
could not cry. Majestic
silence
overwhelmed
me.
It ushered in
God’s divine presence
and
His
Shekinah
Glory filled the room.
The
tear
remained
stationary; waiting for
a command to flow
freely or a demand to
dry up or return to its
duct. I could give no
such instructions.
I
simply waited. Then,
from somewhere deep
within my soul, I
heard the melody of a
beloved hymn, Sweet
Hour of Prayer. God’s
manifested presence
was real, his comfort
secure, his grace so
amazing. I spoke not
a word, yet he knew
my heart’s desire and
heard everything I had
not said.
“Sweet hour of prayer,
sweet hour of prayer,
that calls me from a
world of care. And
bids me at my Father’s
throne, make all my
wants and wishes
known! …And since
He bids me seek His
face, believe His word,
and trust His grace, I’ll
cast on Him my every
care, and wait for thee,
sweet hour of prayer.
William W. Walford/

Life
Focus:
Pray
without
ceasing,
worship
the
Lord
in reverent silence,
linger in His presence;
and, like the dew
in the morning, He
will gently rest upon
your heart. God will
engage the waiting
soul.
One ordinary
moment,
one
daily
ritual, or one everyday
occurrence
can
be
instantly
transformed
into an incredible Divine
experience with the
Lord. These ‘thin places’
occurrence are times
when the ‘ordinary-ness’
of a day reveals the
‘extraordinary Glory of
God’ upon the earth. It
is within these moments
in life where heaven
and earth meet; and,
time, space, and speech
seems to fall away.
When Solomon finished
praying,
fire
came
down
from
heaven
and
consumed
the
burnt
offering
and
the
sacrifices,
and
the glory of the Lord
filled the temple. The
priests could not enter
the temple of the Lord
because the glory of the
Lord filled it. When all
the Israelites saw the fire
coming down and the
glory of the Lord above
the temple, they knelt on
the pavement with their
faces to the ground, and
they worshipped and
gave thanks to the Lord
saying, “He is good; His
mercy endures forever.”
-2 Chronicles 7:1-3
the willpower to sustain the necessary changes in your
physical activity or healthy eating patterns. Once a person
has accepted Jesus as their Savior, the Holy Spirit takes
up residence in their body. In a mysterious way, the Holy
Spirit then gives them special power that they’d otherwise
not have to make and sustain these important behavior
changes when they ask God for help.
Finally, an aspect of your challenge to lose weight may
be your thinking patterns. As long as you think and feel
you’re defeated your behaviors will probably reflect
a defeatist attitude. The last thing that the devil wants
is for you to feel a sense of freedom and liberty from
your weight issues. As long as you
continue your negative thinking and
feel defeated you’ll be less effective
at being all God wants you to be.
Reading regularly from the Bible
and understanding and believing
its truth can help to transform your
thinking and your resulting behavior.
The more we grow in love with Jesus
and follow the principles of the Bible
out of a personal faith, the more emotional and spiritual
freedom we’ll experience. This freedom will likely help
reduce the use of food to meet emotional needs and help
you to lose weight. ©2008 Dale Fletcher, M.S.

Psalms for the Soul
The Bible speaks to us but the Psalms speak for us. Psalm
62:1-2 says, “Truly my soul waits upon God: from him cometh
my salvation. he only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defense; I shall not be greatly moved.” Having been saved by faith
in Christ, we express our love and gratitude through devotion to
Him. Regular Bible study and prayer will be a part of our daily
lives. Our commitment to the Lord
will be revealed through a passion to
obey, a spirit of humility, and a servant’s heart. This man after God’s
own heart was devoted to his Lord.
He sought to know Him and longed
to carry out His will. David’s actions
reflected His humble attitude of servanthood and his longing to please
his heavenly Father. Each day take
steps to be sure your life expresses
commitment to Jesus. Do not let the
stresses of the day steal your Psalm.
Have a blessed week and remember
God loves you. Contact me at [email protected].

“Don’t you think that video
games like this encourage kids to kill?” This
question was posed to
me while playing Call of
Duty: Black Ops recently.
I took time out of my 7
kill streak to answer their
question with another
question.
“When you
watch the evening news
and they show images
of a traffic accident, does
that give you the urge to
go wreck your car?” After awaiting a response,
and losing my streak right
before I got my Chopper
Gunner reward, I decided
to answer it for them. “Of
course not, because you
are a sane individual.”
In a study done by
Walsh(2000), the two
main factors that were
linked to video games
and increased aggressiveness in teens are 1)
no time restrictions
on game play, and 2)
that parents were unaware of the content
of the games their children were playing and
that they did not know
about the ESRB (Entertainment Software
Rating Board) ratings
of the games. Don’t
get me wrong, there
are some very violent
images in some video
games that are on
the market today, but
how hypocritical is it
to blame a company
for selling a child a
product when the parents have not taken
any amount of time to
sit down and educate
themselves concerning said product? Of
course your 10 year
old shouldn’t be playing Grand Theft Auto,

ter how much your kid
cries for it, if you buy
that game and they do
something stupid with
a gun one day, who’s
really at fault? Is it the
company that created
a mature game for a
mature audience, and
clearly labeled the game
as not being for anyone
under the age of 17, or
the parent who caved to
their ten year olds immature desires?
That said, there is no
simple solution to the
violence that occurs in
our society today. It is a
multi-faceted and growing problem that stems
from many things that
have gone increasingly
wrong with mankind.
Maybe what’s wrong is

S
tarting off the day with a latte isn’t just a way to get a quick morning pick-me-up —
it’s a way to get a quick boost of nutrients. A latte can deliver a full serving of milk’s
nine essential nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D and potassium. It also has eight
grams of high-quality protein in eight ounces — even more than an egg.
Being your own barista lets you customize your morning latte — and save money. Here
are some tips and latte recipes to help you get the day off to a great start.
Tips for Steaming Milk
n
Always start with cold milk.
n
If using a steam wand, experiment with the depth of the wand and how close it is to the edge of the milk
container. Where you place the wand affects the milk’s texture.
n
It takes practice to get an even texture, so be patient and enjoy your experiments.

Morning Pick-Me-Up
Ooh La Latte
If you don’t have a steam wand or milk frother, you can steam milk on the stove top.
n
Put cold milk in a sauce pan — making sure there’s room for the foam.
n
Put the stove burner on low heat. (If you’re using an electric stove, heat the element before putting the pan
on it.)
n
Whisk the milk. Whisk faster as the milk heats.
n
Don’t let the milk boil.
n
Once you have enough foam, remove the pan from heat.
Create a Custom Latte
You can find flavored syrups at many grocery stores. Use a shot glass measuring cup marked with ounces to help
you get just the right amount of syrup.
You can also find great flavors in your spice cabinet. Try cinnamon, nutmeg, and even pumpkin pie spice in
your latte.
For a really decadent finish that won’t add fat, top your latte with a little nonfat whipped topping and a
sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Sampson Regional Medical Center’s Blood Donor Center
Has Relocated To The Outpatient Diagnostics Center
NEW LOCATION TO PROVIDE GREATER
CONVENIENCE AND ACCESS FOR BLOOD DONORS
Sampson Regional Medical Center recently relocated
its Blood Donor Center from the hospital’s laboratory to
the Outpatient Diagnostics Center, located just blocks
from the main hospital. The new location provides
greater convenience and access for the hospital’s current
donors. Also, by relocating the Blood Donor Center to the
Outpatient Diagnostics Center, the hospital hopes to grow
community awareness of blood donor services and attract
new donors.
The Sampson Regional Medical Center Foundation
helped fund the relocation of the Blood Donor Center.
Proceeds from the 2012 Golf Tournament provided nearly
$25,000 for the project, which included the purchase of
new equipment and necessary room renovations. “The
Foundation Board felt that this project would benefit both
SRMC and the community by providing more convenient
parking and easier accessibility for our blood donors, as
well as a beautiful facility to use,” said Brenda Warren,
Executive Director of the Foundation. “It is our hope that
it will encourage more community members to become
regular donors, which would be a win-win situation for the
hospital and the community in providing an ample blood
supply for our patients,” she continued.
According to Ann Cortes, Laboratory Director, the Blood
Donor Center will maintain its usual hours of operation:
Monday-Wednesday, 8:30 am-4:00 pm for walk-ins and
appointments. On Thursdays and Fridays, the Center is
open by appointment only because these days are when the
Mobile Blood Bank typically travels to businesses, civic
groups, schools, and churches for blood drives. The Blood
Donor Center will also open one evening per month to
provide after-hours donor service.
Sampson Regional Medical Center is one of just a few
hospitals in the state that provides most all of its blood
supply. This makes blood donor services at SRMC a vital
part of patient care. It’s important for the Blood Donor
Center to maintain an adequate blood supply at all times.
About Sampson Regional Medical Center Sampson
Regional Medical Center (SRMC) is a progressive
healthcare facility located in Clinton, NC. SRMC has
served the medical needs of the people in Sampson County
since 1950. The 146-bed facility offers a full range of
medical services—from outpatient surgery, radiology,
and nuclear medicine to cardiopulmonary and pediatrics.
SRMC provides comprehensive hospital and communitybased services that preserve and restore health, provide
comfort, and maintain dignity for all who seek care.
SRMC’s Natalie Oliver, RN, (pictured left) accepts 75 TY Beanie Babies for the hospital’s
pediatric unit. The Beanie Babies were donated by Junior Volunteer Jamison Kidd
(pictured right). Jamison spent the summer volunteering through the hospital’s Junior
Volunteer program. Her generous gift of the Beanie Babies will be used to cheer up
children in the Pediatric, Lab, and ER departments. Young adults ages 14 and older
may apply to be a part of Sampson Regional Medical Center’s Summer Junior Volunteer
program. For more information, contact Judy Naylor, Director of Volunteer Services, at

The Keys To An Affordable Home Automation System
security giant Honeywell. “Homeowners are now using the
same concept of connectivity to not only improves their
life security but their lifestyles as well, and they’re doing
it affordably, too.”
Honeywell, for example, recently introduced a wireless
controller that allows homeowners to control their lighting,
locking, heating and air conditioning and (of course)
security from a single touchscreen device. More than
simplifying control, however, the device (called Tuxedo
Touch) can help these systems work together. Tuxedo
Touch can manage security, door locks, up to four video
cameras, lighting, automated shades and temperature
controls. It can be managed and controlled within the home
through an iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry, Internet
TV or any other compatible wireless mobile device, using
either Wi-Fi or Ethernet - and literally at a fraction of the
cost of a typical home-automation system.
As a concept, the “connected home” probably sounds like
a wonderful idea to any tech enthusiast. As a reality, it also
probably feels very unattainable to the average homeowner
making the average salary.
While the benefits are appealing, the thought of installing
technology that can tie together things like lighting, heating
and air conditioning, and security sounds like an expensive
proposition that can only be afforded by homeowners who
live in the wealthiest neighborhoods.
Not true.
Recent advancements have made the prospect of affordable,
advanced home-automation functions much more realistic
for the average homeowner.
“The value of a home security system to improving safety
is well-known; a five-year study by Rutgers University of
Criminal Justice concluded that residential burglar alarm
systems did decrease crime,” says Robert Puric of home-
Additionally, home automation helps homeowners save
even more money by cutting back on energy consumption.
Automation systems can automatically reduce energyusing features like air-conditioning, heating, lighting or
shades whenever the system’s security function is armed
- which usually indicates the home is unoccupied. These
types of features can have a significant impact on energy
bills to save money.
This app-free, remote access provides homeowners
with multiple lifestyle benefits, not the least of which is
improved personal safety. Homeowners can:
* Manage their home’s energy efficiency. A home security
system not only keeps the home’s contents and people safe,
it can help control energy costs as well. These systems
allow homeowners to remotely change or set programmable
thermostats, lower or raise automated blinds, and turn lights
on or off. Or, users can set the system to automatically
reduce energy-using features like air conditioning, heating
or lighting whenever the system’s security function is
armed - which usually indicates the home is unoccupied.
* Access video cameras that function as part of a security
system. These cameras enable homeowners to not only see
who’s at their door, but also access real-time images or
view video clips of what’s going on inside the home. With
Honeywell Total Connect remote services, homeowners
can receive an alert that a child has arrived safely home
from school, keep an eye on their pet, or take note of when
a package has arrived on their doorstep.
* Prevent home-damaging crisis. By placing environmental
sensors in risk-prone areas like bathrooms, laundry rooms,
kitchens, utility rooms or unfinished basements with
exposed pipes, homeowners can monitor for leaks, floods
or extreme temperature changes. Used in conjunction with
a remote services product, environmental sensors can help
homeowners catch potentially costly problems. Knowing
right away that a pipe has burst or a leak has occurred can
give homeowners the opportunity to repair the problems
before they cause extensive damage.
“In the past, separate keypads controlled security, heating
and air conditioning, lighting and other systems,” says Puric.
“Wi-Fi technology has made the concept of the ‘connected
home’ a reality. Home security and communication in one
has never been easier or more affordable to achieve.”

Customize cabinets
Replacing cabinetry can be cost-prohibitive. Plus it’s a
tough job to tackle for even seasoned DIYers. Fortunately,
there are easier ways to update the look of your cabinets.
Switching out dated hardware with something new and eyecatching is a great start. Wooden cabinets can be repainted
or stained. Outdated trim can be removed. Or, if you love the
open-faced look that’s in vogue in many upscale kitchens,
simply remove cabinet doors altogether.
Winning windows
When it comes to window treatments, most people have two
objectives: to create a great look and protect their privacy.
The kitchen, however, is one room where privacy is usually
less of a concern. That means you can lighten up on window
treatments, open your design options and create a lightfilled look. If your kitchen windows are currently covered
with blinds or heavy curtains, take them down. Next, add
decorative hardware and top it with a window treatment that
creates an attractive frame for the window without blocking
light or the view. Valances and sheers are great for achieving
this kind of look.
Outstanding accessories
Updating accessories is one of the easiest, most costeffective ways to change the look of a room. Accessories
like new upholstery on chairs in breakfast areas, patterned
towels and potholders or even a decorative holder for
kitchen utensils make it simple to redefine decor without the
commitment of a major change. Different color appliances
make varying design statements. For example, white
appliances will impart a country look. Changing the look
of your appliances doesn’t mean you have to replace them.
Many appliance makers now offer models with reversible
panels. Or, consider painting to match your design choices
for a truly customized look.

Chamber Chat
With Janna Bass
When I think of the holiday season, I think of
colder weather, the act of giving and helping others,
and family fun festivities. The Clinton-Sampson
Chamber is honored to be a part of the variety of
holiday festivities that are just around the corner.
Chamber Member of the Week
The 3rd Annual Chamber Coat Closet kickoff event
is here! We thank you for participating in the kickoff
event this past Thursday, November 1st, as we began collecting coats for those
in need. From Noon to 6:00pm we were at the Clinton City Market at 215
Lisbon Street enjoying vendors and local entertainment as we encouraged
the residents of Sampson County to give the gift of warmth this winter with
donating a new or gently used coat. If you missed us at the kickoff event,
the coat collection will continue throughout November with over 30 drop
off locations throughout Sampson County. We encourage you to visit our
website, www.clintonsampsonchamber.org to determine which drop off site
is closest to you. If you know of someone that would benefit from a coat this
winter, please call the chamber office at 592-6177. We thank the residents
of Sampson County in advance for being involved and proactive with this
project this year, as each of you have been the past two years as this event has
evolved.
The holiday festivities continue on November 29th with Christmas in the City.
The second Christmas in the City family fun event is filled with horse drawn
carriage rides, hay rides, gingerbread decorating activities for the children, a
reception at the History Museum and a silent auction in which the proceeds
go towards the Sampson County History Museum. Some of the silent auction
items include items from Butlers Gifts, Matthews Gifts, Sessoms Jewelry, The
Center for Health and Wellness, Sampson County Partnership for Children
gift wrapping certificate, and more. If you would like to donate a decorated
Christmas wreath or an item from your business, for the silent auction, please
give the Chamber office a call or e-mail [email protected].
The family fun continues with the Annual Christmas in Clinton Parade. Save
the date for Saturday, December 8th at 10:00am as the streets of downtown
Clinton are filled with local musical entertainment, dance teams, professional
floats, antique cars, and more. If you, your business or organization would like
to participate in the parade, give us a call at the Chamber office, 592.6177 or
visit our website at www.clintonsampsonchamber.org for more information.
As the weather continues to change and the holidays are quickly
approaching, we encourage each of you to get involved in all of the
holiday activities throughout Sampson County. To learn more about the
Clinton-Sampson Chamber’s upcoming events, membership information,
membership directory, and economic development, visit the website at www.
clintonsampsonchamber.org or give us a call at 910.592.6177.

SOCIAL SECURITY HELPS VETERANS (AND
ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY) EVERY DAY
By Brenda Brown
Social Security Public
Affairs Specialist in Fayetteville, NC
November 11 is more than just a national holiday;
Veterans Day is a time to honor the men and women
who risk their lives to protect our freedom. We at Social
Security ask you to join us in saluting the men and
women of the armed forces. Be sure to say “thank you” to
a veteran on this important day.
For those who return home with injuries, it will be our turn to help them. If you know
any wounded veterans, please let them know about Social Security’s Wounded Warriors
website. You can find it at www.socialsecurity.gov/woundedwarriors.
The Wounded Warriors website answers a number of commonly asked questions, and
shares other useful information about disability benefits, including how veterans can
receive expedited processing of disability claims. It is important to note that benefits
available through Social Security are different than those from the Department of Veterans
Affairs and require a separate application.
Claim Denied?

The expedited process is used for military service members who become disabled while
on active military service on or after October 1, 2001, regardless of where the disability
occurs.
Even active duty military who continue to receive pay while in a hospital or on medical
leave should consider applying for disability benefits if they are unable to work due to a
disabling condition. Active duty status and receipt of military pay does not necessarily
prevent payment of Social Security disability benefits. Receipt of military payments should
never stop someone from applying for disability benefits from Social Security.
A person cannot receive Social Security disability benefits while engaging in substantial
work for pay or profit. However, the work activity is the controlling factor and not the
amount of pay the person receives or military duty status.
