Anyone passing through downtown Clinton in recent months has certainly
noticed all the sidewalk construction and general beautification going on; and the
obvious intent is of course to revitalize the downtown area. One hope is of course
to encourage people passing by to actually stop, perhaps mill around a bit and visit
one of the great local shops or eateries in downtown Clinton.
In conjunction with the current construction going on is another project
designed to encourage more milling around. Described by artist Heidi Lippman as
“Modern Art meets Folk, the “Milling Around” public arts project is an innovative yet
entertaining approach to strengthening both community spirit and the community
in general.”
The public art piece, titled “Milling Around” is a 25’ L x

Clinton Mapping Moving
into the Digital Age?
The Clinton City Council held a special
meeting Monday night in the City Hall
Auditorium, where it approved a grant
resolution to apply for Rural Center
funding. Jeff Vreugdenhil, Director for the
City of Clinton’s Public Works and Utilities
Department, said the grant would be used to
locate fire hydrants, sewer manholes, storm
water manholes and water valves with GIS
(geographic information system). “Currently
they are not all in the road or in the right of
way; some are on private property or in grass.
Our current maps are old, but they are not
tied to a survey grid. They simply illustrate
approximate locations of lines, manholes,
hydrants and valves. There is no convenient
way to quickly find some utility features if they
are off the right of way or covered by soil.”
Vreugdenhil stated that one problem
that could be solved or even eliminated by
using the GIS mapping would be the ease of
locating water cutoff valves which have been covered over by dirt and or debris. “In
some instances,” stated Vreugdenhil, “we have had multiple city employees searching for
cutoffs losing valuable water and time. The grant is provided by

The NC Highway 24 four lane project is fully
funded from Cumberland County into Sampson
through Moltonville, according to Lin Reynolds, District
Engineer for Sampson and Duplin County and Allen
Pope, Highway Division 3 Division Engineer for NC
DOT.
Allen Pope stated, “After 30 years of planning,
this project is so close to actually turning some dirt
and paving. I am really looking forward to seeing this
project completed. It will be a great asset for the people
of Cumberland, Sampson and Duplin Counties.”
The dream of a four lane highway running through
Sampson County and into Clinton has been in the
plans since the early seventies. Four lane highways
bring much needed commerce into rural areas as well
as making travel safer and quicker.
Pope stated that there would be 6 stages or
sections of construction bringing the four lanes through
Sampson County at a cost for the entire project of
$414,300,000. The project description is East of I-95
to I-40, going through Cumberland-Sampson-Duplin
Counties.

and hauled the items from Bonnetsville to Salemburg.
Rhonda Carter holds up the next items for
bid at her Tuesday night auction in Salemburg.
Carters’ Auction Comebacks
The bang of the auctioneers gavel brings smiles to
more and more faces on Tuesday night in Salemburg.
For several weeks now, Carter’s auction on Main
Street has become the new face of The Treasure
Chest store of Bonnetsville that was destroyed
in the April Tornado. The Carters had spent their
life collecting items others would want to collect. A
customer from Clinton said that she had bought so
much from them she ought to rename her house
“The Treasure Chest.”
Even though the tornado delivered a direct hit on the
store in Bonnettsville, the Carters were still able to
salvage loads of collectibles, thanks to the men and
women who were volunteers of the NC Baptist Men’s
Disaster Relief team. They loaded trailer after trailer
Oddly enough, the Carter’s had to store the salvaged
goods in Salemburg in the very place they had started
a successful auction just two weeks before the
tornado. This move hampered the Sunday afternoon
auctions. The second Sunday of the auctions, Jim
Carter had counted 120 people present. But the
evening before the third Sunday, the tornado hit
hard and destroyed the Treasure Chest store in
Bonnetsvile and a lot of the contents. At this point,
they had to work hard and long to salvage what they
could.
Top that off with the destruction of Rhonda Carters
parent’s home in Fayetteville by another one of the
Tornado’s. They were in the center of the house
and it caved in around them, but they were not hurt.
Rhonda’s husband Jim gave this interview because
Rhonda wasn’t yet ready to talk about the tornado.
There are plenty of old and new items from tools to
dishes to furniture that you can bid on. You can see
a lot of the items that will come up for future bid off
to the side of the seating area, but much more is still
packed away in boxes. If you don’t see something
you want out this week you may soon. If you have
never been to an auction, get ready for the nail
biteing excitement when someone else is bidding on
what you want. The doors open at 6 PM so you can
look at the merchandise, register and relax before
the auction starts at 7 PM. Snacks and soft drinks
are available.
While the Carter’s have had other auction businesses
in the area for decades, Rhonda had settled into The

Treasure Chest business because of her husband
Jim’s health problems. She had even increased the
volume of her business by learning how to sell on the
internet. Then the Tornado landed a bulls-eye directly
on the Treasure Chest in April.
Most of the roof caved in, the front room on the left
with collectible glass was shattered along with the
back rooms contents. Rhonda estimates that 75% of
her inventory was destroyed. Then it rained for three
days and a lot of water had to be wiped off of the
merchandise that was left.
Jim related that he was with Rhonda the day of the
tornado.
He said she never closed before 5 PM on Saturday,
but 15 minutes before the tornado hit at about 4 PM
she said she had a bad feeling, closed and went
home. That saved them.
Jim believes that must have been divine intervention.
Mr. Carter also stated that it was fortunate that
Rhonda had been taking the courses for her
auctioneer license. She completed them in the spring
of last year. Jim said a lot of what you have to learn
is NC law. When asked how you learn to conduct an
auction, Rhonda spoke up and said, “One way is to
count telephone poles as you ride along. One, one
and a half; Two, two and a half; Three, three and a
half; Etc. Each number represents a dollar amount. It
could have been ten dollars, do I hear ten and when
you get a bid on the ten you check to see if someone
else wants it enough to offer more. Do I hear eleven,
eleven, eleven”. She said that’s called “The chant.”
They will be glad to demonstrate it for real next
Tuesday evening in Salemburg.

Section F—West of SR 1920 (Moltonville Road) in
Sampson Co. to I-40 in Duplin Co. Construction scheduled for Post Year (unfunded
until after 2020).
“At the present time there is no construction in progress but Utility relocation
should begin soon to clear the path for the construction. Construction will begin
with a successful award of the bid on the project. The construction will begin at I-95
and moving toward NC 24/US 701 Faircloth Freeway. Once the project is awarded,
the contractor is in charge of planning their attack. Typically, first order of business
is to put up construction signs throughout the project, install erosion control devices
and then clearing and grubbing.”
“In order to begin the construction project, the Right of Way has to be deeded
and assigned to the DOT,” Pope said. He also added that he was not aware of any
problems getting this Right of Way needed for the four lane highway. ”Based on the
Record of Decision, there are 201 residents and 22 businesses to be relocated for
the entire project. Sections A through D have 146 residents and 22 businesses to
be relocated.”
“Construction in our county
will also bring new employment
opportunities,” according to Pope.
“However, the NC DOT will not be
adding significant numbers for these
projects. The majority of the work is
being done by contractors that have
been awarded the contract after the
‘Let Date’. The contractor will also be
utilizing specialized subcontractors
to help accomplish this construction.
My suggestion is once the project is
awarded that prospective job seekers should contact the contractor directly.”
Lin Reynolds commented on the project by saying, “NC 24 has been in dire need
of being built as a 4 lane. Traffic should move smoothly and safely from Cumberland
County to Clinton with the additional lanes, alignment upgrades and bypasses
around our towns. The next local mission is to secure funding for the remainder
of NC 24 from Clinton to I-40. This would tie together two major Interstates. This
should help with safety as well as attract industry to this region. It would also be a
great benefit to our local military bases. There will be growing pains as construction
takes place, but the end result should be well worth it.”

of $40,000.00.”
Vreugdenhil
stated that he expected the cost of the
system to be $80,000 of which the City of
Clinton would be required to match the
other $40,000.
Vreugdenhil commented on the need
for the City to replace their current maps
which are from the 1940’s, 50’s and 60’s
“Our current maps are old, they are not
tied to a survey grid, they simply illustrate
approximate locations of lines, manholes,
hydrants and valves. There is no convenient
way to quickly find some utility features if
they are off the ROW or covered by soil.”
“The information on the maps are not
out of date, just the methodology to
use modern day location devices (GPS)
is not available because we do not have
Latitude and Longitude locations for the
features. Actually, the mapping is ok, but we do need the information converted to a
GIS (geographic information layer) so that features may be illustrated on a computer
accurately. Once valves for the water system are located by latitude and longitude, a
portable device such as smart phones could make locating features much quicker in the
field. It would also help to only valve off the minimum amount of customers in the event
of a break in a water line.”
If the grant is approved, Vreugdenhil stated that he would estimate a 6 month process
to completely remap the system with exact longitude and longitude locations. The new
system would also save the City money. “Surely, this function would be used every day
in the Water and Line Maintenance department. It will help in saving water loss during
certain situations, but the primary point of the grant is to reduce the vulnerability of the
City by depending on the historical local knowledge of just a few employees.”

6’6” H freestanding curved glass wall of various colors
with a millstone design. Lippman, the artist who designed
the piece, said the millstone represents the diverse agricultural history of Sampson
County and Clinton’s history as a center of commerce. Lippman explained that
her concept for the piece grew from the large interest in a millstone abandoned
along Cattail Creek. The millstone motif is “timeless” and is a metaphor for how a
community is shaped from stone.
Kara Donatelli, Executive Director of the Sampson Arts Council, explains the
motivation for the downtown arts project, “The Milling Around public art project
aims to strengthen the Clinton community on two levels, economically and
culturally. Business owners and community leaders have joined together to bring
economic prosperity through the downtown revitalization project which includes
physical improvements and an increased emphasis on culture. It is our hope that
the public art project will generate interest in downtown and help spur economic
development. The public art will also help generate interest in the support of other
cultural events downtown, such as the ‘Alive After Five’ Summer Concert Series,
Sampson Community Theatre and other annual festivals.”
The “Milling Around” project is to be built where the parking area currently sits at
the corner of College Street and East Main Street. The glass wall will be constructed
on the upper elevation of the current parking lot nearest the stop light, and the area
around the wall is to be landscaped to create a public park. An artist representation
of the finished area can be viewed at the artist’s website at www.heidilippman.com.
At Ms. Lippman’s website you can also view many of her other public art pieces as
well as some of her studio sculpture.
Heidi Lippman is a talented artist who has created many public art pieces with
a focus of bringing people together in a communal space. Ms. Lippman grew up
in New York City and studied at both American University in Washington DC and
the California College of Arts and Crafts before earning her Masters of Fine Art at
Claremont Graduate University in California.
Downtown, cont. from 1
After teaching at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, Ms. Lippman was
awarded a Ford Foundation Grant. She is a founding member of the Washington
Sculptors’ Group and Ms. Lippman has lectured and taught at colleges and
universities throughout the United States. Ms. Lippman’s work has been featured
in dozens of publications throughout the country and her art has appeared in
numerous one person exhibits in Germany, Italy, New York and Washington.
Ms. Lippman explained the concept for “Milling Around” came from a walking
tour of downtown Clinton. “We were invited to research possibilities for a former jail
site adjacent to the town center and we began our study with a walking tour led by
City officials and the Arts Council leader, Lisa Turlington. As discussions progressed,
we realized the primary site for an intervention to enliven and create new interest
in the city center was both a former mural wall directly facing the main corridor,
College St. and a large parking lot which holds the town hostage to its black tar
surface.”
The artist continued her explanation of the concept by describing its intent,
“This approach expands upon elements of the Towns initiative with a proposal
suggesting converting a portion of the parking area at this main thoroughfare with
a town square. We believe a complete rehabilitation of this area would regenerate
interest in the shops and amenities the town has to offer. This first phase includes
redesign of the park focused around a unique glass wall and seating area.”
Efforts to discover a motif representative of the history of the town involved
reaching back through history and out to a strong vision for the future, centering on
discussions with the public art committee and Senator Faircloth. Libbman explains,
“These revealed an interest in a millstone abandoned along Cattail creek adjacent
to the original designated public art site. Its existence seemed universally known,
though its origins were vague. Research revealed that a graphic of millstones
reflects a theme rooted in the early founding of pre-revolutionary Clinton settled
by John Sampson, who had acted as judge and also provided the land for the first
courthouse, and now the County seat. His gristmill was located nearby and it is
believed his millstone is the base for a cemetery monument for John Bizzell, located
in the nearby town cemetery.”
Lippman concludes, “With these references in mind, the millstone, with its
inference of cooperation, community, hard work, the land and productivity became
the natural motif for a monumental glass installation. Communities historically
evolved near mills by necessity. Utilizing this motif of the millstone, in glass, refers to
not only to how essential tool mills were, but also the communities which gathered
around them as well as the technical evolutions “wheels” represent. The city of
Clinton seemingly has followed in the path of its original founders, John Sampson
and his adopted son Richard Clinton, with good will, generosity, affection and
forethought.”
Director of the Sampson Arts Council, Kara Donatelli explains the cost of the
project and how the money is to be raised. “The total project cost is $138,000 with
funding of $25,000 from a NC Arts Council grant, $30,000 from a grant from the
National Endowment for the Arts, and a $75,000 grant from the Stewards Fund.”
“We have all the funding to undertake this project”, continues Donatelli, “with the
exception of $8,000 that has been budgeted for unforeseen items that may arise
during final installation. We will be working with the Public Art Committee to raise
the final funds, and we are confident this goal will be met.”
Of course you don’t have to wait until the project is complete to enjoy downtown
Clinton. With great shopping opportunities, very good food, and inspiring
community theater, downtown Clinton offers ample reason to come downtown
and mill around.

14th Annual Sorghum Festival
A Great Success
The 14th Annual Sorghum festival which was held last Saturday October 15th was a
huge success drawing thousands of people from all over North Carolina and the United
States. According to event directors John and Annie Matthews, “The event just keeps
on growing and growing. We would most of all like to thank the people of Sampson
County for their support and all the volunteers that help to make this event possible.”
There was something for everyone at the festival. The young were excited about the
home-made ice cream, the snow cones, the unbelievable train exhibit and of course
the pony and carriage rides. Older (but young at heart) people enjoyed the antique
farm equipment, antique automobiles, the great Blue Grass music, and simply the
great memories of their childhoods. One could not help but remember their childhood with the smell of the sweet sorghum cooking, the old general store and the old
school house museum set up with vintage scenes from the past.
There were also a few new exhibits this year with a few ladies making lye soap, a
Calvary soldier making bullets and displaying antique firearms, and a blacksmith set
up showing off his talents.
The Matthews want to make sure that everyone marks their calendars for the 15th
Annual Sorghum Festival which is scheduled for next year on October 20, 2012. You
don’t want to miss it!

We Should Know...
Tuesdays from 2:30 PM until 3:30 PM, J.W. Simmons hosts
a radio show on 1170 AM called “We Should Know”, and The
Sampson Weekly will feature portions of the transcripts in
our continuing efforts to bring you more coverage of what
is happening in our community. Tuesday’s guest was Pat
McCrory, former Mayor of Charlotte, NC.
Pat McCrory was one of the youngest mayors of Charlotte,
NC, the second largest banking center in the United States.
Pat grew up in Jamestown, NC and graduated from Ragsdale
High School before attending Catawba College in Rowan
County. In 1978 Pat accepted a job with Duke Power where
he attended a management trainee program in Charlotte.
It was about 10 years later when Pat became involved with
public service, running for a city council seat in Charlotte. Six
years later Pat ran for and was elected Mayor of Charlotte
where he served for 14 years. Mr. McCrory says that for him
public service was just in his blood and as a result he wanted
to make a difference.
Pat McCrory still considers Jamestown his home, and has
many family members who live in the eastern part of North
Carolina. Pat has been married for 24 years to his wife Ann,
who credits with great resolve to have stood by him through
his public service and life in politics.
Pointing out that Charlotte is seen as a trend setting area
in finance, J.W. Simmons asks Mr. McCrory to discuss the
current financial situation in our country and region, based
on his particularly lengthy experience leading one of the
nation’s largest financial cities. Pat starts by explaining that
our current financial situation is actually extremely serious.
“Looking at our economy, whether it is in Sampson County,
our State, the Nation, or the World, we live in a time when the
economy is an international concern. Even in an agricultural
area like Sampson County, everyone is impacted by the
dollar. Everyone is impacted by exports and imports, by how
well the European economy is doing.”
McCrory says that in today’s economic crisis you have
to look at the big picture; and that we need leaders who
understand the economy. McCrory states 3 lessons that we
need to learn; first, “we can’t live off of debt. Whether you’re
a small business person, a family, or even a government, you
cannot live off of debt and a credit card. You don’t get out of
debt by getting another credit card. That’s true in business
and when we try to teach our kids, and we’re learning that
it’s true in government as well.”
The second lesson McCrory feels we must learn is that
we cannot have a sustainable economy if the vast majority
of our jobs are in government and service sectors. McCrory

says that we need to have an
economy that grows things,
makes things, produces
things, or innovates things.
If we don’t have those 4 job
sectors, then government
and service sector jobs will
also disappear. McCrory feels
that our leaders at both the
national state levels have
forgotten these jobs.
Pat McCrory states
the third lesson is one
more of a political lesson.
That whoever we put in
leadership, at both state and
national levels, needs to have
Pat McCrory former Mayor of Charlotte, NC with
leadership experience. “We
JW Simmons: Host of “We Should Know”
can’t just get by on slogans
to elect our leaders. They need to have an understanding of for it, and I (McCrory) want everyone to have an education,
economics, of how to make decisions; they’ve got to have but not everyone needs a four year college degree. In fact,
a resume. If we elect our leaders based off of commercial there are a lot of farmers here in Sampson County who don’t

This is true in local, state, and federal government. We must than some of the lawyers out there, and they are smarter
do a better job examining the people we elect as mayor, too. They understand how to make a living and balance a
budget… so yes, I understand your question. We better
governor, and president than we’ve done in the past.
Simmons next asks McCrory if we have grown an make some changes soon because the numbers just don’t
“Entitlement” society, to which Mr. McCrory answers, add up.”
Simmons follows his previous question by asking next
absolutely. In fact, McCrory says, “we’ve grown a society that
does not reward production. We just pay too many people if there is actually enough understanding of economics by
not to work, and that’s making America non-competitive in our leaders to make these changes, or if we need to get
back to some very basic civics lessons. McCrory says that
our world economy.”
“If we’re not making things, if we’re not producing as he agrees that there is a need for some basic civics lessons;
individuals, from the ages of 18 to much older than 50, and economics too. “Maybe economics even more so than
then we are in trouble. Right now we’re paying far too many civics,” McCrory states, “because the fact of the matter is, if
people, with entitlement money, who just are not producing no one is working, then who pays for our fire and police?
anything. If you don’t produce anything our economy will go Who pays for our judges, our roads, and our airports?”
“You cannot run a sustainable economy with service and
in the tank, and I think that’s a lot of the problem.”
“I don’t think anything we ever get should be free. We government sector jobs alone. If there is not a larger sector
should always pay something for everything, so that it of the economy working in production and innovation
becomes our responsibility to shop around for the best cost. sectors than in service sector jobs, there simply is no one
Even with medicine, if we pay for it (even just a little), we’ll left to pay the service and government sector employees.”
The next “We Should Know” hosted by J.W. Simmons
look for the best alternative.”
McCrory continues by explaining that our current Governor will air next Tuesday from 2:30 to 3:30 PM on our local radio

Your Destiny
Have you ever been asked to join a special group?
The “in” crowd? A special club? A sports team? What
were you willing to give up to be a member of the
special group?
Early in Jesus’ ministry, he began choosing his
disciples. He traveled from the desert west of Jericho
to Galilee in the north and as he was walking by the
Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers fishing. Jesus
did not offer Simon and Andrew an invitation to follow
him; instead he gave a command for them to follow
him. Jesus gave this command in terms these men
could understand. Jesus asked them to become
fishers of men. Simon and Peter immediately
abandoned their nets, their homes and occupation
and followed Jesus.
Further down the shore the scene is repeated. The
other two brothers are James and John, the sons of
Zebedee. Both of these scenes unfold without a long
drawn-out negotiation and without Jesus explaining
who he was. He made a command on their lives.
These four men were willing to sacrifice their careers
and the security of home and family to follow Jesus.
What are we willing to sacrifice to follow and pursue
our career? There is a relationship which makes life
complete. Without that relationship, there is a void,
a vacuum in life. Many people, even those who are
well-known, can attest to that void.
For example, H.G. Wells, famous historian and
philosopher, said at age 61, “I have no peace. All life
is at the end of the tether.” The poet Byron said, “My
The Help
By Vanessa W. Polk
Psalm 46:1 (NRSV)
– God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help
in trouble.
days are in yellow leaf,
the flowers and fruits
of life are gone, the
worm and the canker,
and the grief are mine
alone.” The literary
genius Henry David
Thoreau said, “Most
men live lives of quiet
desperation.”
Ralph Barton, one of
the top cartoonists of
the nations, left this
note pinned to his
pillow before taking his
own life: “I have had few difficulties, many friends,
great successes; I have gone from wife to wife,
from house to house, visited great countries of the
world, but I am fed up with inventing devices to fill
up twenty-four hours of the day.”
Barton’s first caricature was of Thomas Hart
Benton; his last, of Charlie Chaplin. In between he
knew everyone and drew everyone in the social
and culture scene of New York. Some of his most
famous works were group drawings, and perhaps
the most noted was a stage curtain created for a
1922 revue, depicting an “audience” of 139 faces
looking back at the real theater-goers. Barton had
sacrificed everything to be part of the celebrity incrowd of the time.
Jeremiah 1:-5-9 - God’s has a plan for our lives; He
has called us into His club. The plan to call us came
before we were born.
In February 1980, the U.S. Olympic hockey team
walked away with a gold medal at Lake Placid, New
York. The young collegians had shocked the world
by upsetting the powerful Soviet team, and then
they grabbed the championship from Finland while
the crowd chanted, “U.S.A.!” Before his team’s
victory over the Soviet Union which advanced them
to the finals, the coach of the U.S. hockey team told
his players, “You are born to be a player. You are
meant to be here at this time. This is your moment.”
You were born to be a disciple of Christ. You are
meant to be here at this time. This is your moment.
And, although we may have reason to fear for our
economic sustainability and national security; Psalms
46 reminds us that in God there is fullness of hope
and comfort. When tough times seem to be neverending, our unchanging God is a God of justice and
he waits to be gracious to us. He hears and longs
to respond to the moans and wailings of his people.
The world may appear to be quaking around us, but
God is in the midst of his people and He will show his
mercy.
As Christians, we know that our Help is not ultimately
in the stewardship of our individual politics or
pocketbooks, but the problems that politics can
create have caused even the strongest believers,
both rich and poor, to become concerned about the
future. As we practice good stewardship of our civic
responsibilities, we know that it is in the lifting of our
eyes unto the Lord that will bring Help, not in looking
to Capitol Hill. Anxiety, panic, fear and frustration may
be crouching at the door of our hearts, but it will be
the word of God dwelling in us richly that will sustain
us.
The real Help we need in the world today won’t come
from any one political party; it will come from the One
and Only True and Living God. [We} will lift up [our]
eyes to the hills –from where will [our] help come?
[Our] help comes from the Lord, who made heaven
and earth. (Psalm 121:1-2)
The Challenge: When facing your life’s challenges,
to whom will you look for help? As a blind person
places her trust in a guide dog or people who lead her
as she walks, we must rely on our Sovereign God. Life
will always have its troubles but we can thank God for
being our HELP –the One who will do that which needs
to be done. We can also be thankful for the Holy Spirit
being our HELPER –the One who comes along side
us to comfort and counsel. Hold on, my Sister! Don’t
lose your faith. Hold on, my Brother! Don’t lose your
hope. God waits to be gracious to you; he will rise up
and bless his people.
“I will not leave you orphaned; I am coming to you. …
but the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will
send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind
you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with
you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the
world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do
not let them be afraid.” -John 14:18, 25-27 (NRSV)
The Link: Go to YouTube and listen to The Brooklyn
Tabernacle Choir singing the song, I Never Lost My
Praise. The words of the second verse say, “I’ve let
some blessings slip away; when I lost my focus and
went astray. But thank God I didn’t lose everything. I
lost possessions that were so dear; I lost some battles
walking in fear. But in the midst of my struggles, in
my season of pain, one thing never wavered, one thing
never changed. I never lost my hope. I never lost my
joy. I never lost my faith. But most of all, I never lost
my praise.”
LIFE • HOME • CAR • BUSINESS
The title of the movie, The Help, was the inspiration for
writing this meditation; however, after listening to the
hard sobs and heartbreak in the voice of someone who
lost more than a million dollars in the Stock Market free
fall, the reflective focus that I initially had in mind quickly
changed. The depth of this woman’s pain sent me to
my knees in prayers –interceding for others who faced
similar circumstances and for the financial advisors who
are trying to provide wise counsel during these chaotic
financial times. I may never know what it is feels like to
make millions of dollars, let alone to lose millions, but
I do know a little bit about suffering loss –in health, in
love, in relationship, in work, in finances, in dreams, etc.
C.S. Lewis said, “God whispers to us in our pleasures,
speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains:
It is His megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” With all
the uncertainties and struggles in our Nation, and
around the World, I think we can safely say that God
is indeed shouting to every people, tribe and tongue.

“Wear A Band-Aid Day” Domestic Violence Campaign
Sometimes we forget how important awareness can
be. As such, Pastoral Care Services initiated a” Wear
a Band-Aid Day” Domestic Violence campaign. In
partnership with the Emergency Department and
U Care, on Wednesday, October 12th employees
were invited to take a stand against domestic
violence and sexual assault. While most people
tend to concentrate on the black eyes and bruised
ribs, domestic violence also does great damage to a
person’s spirit. Wounds of Domestic Violence form
verbal, emotional, economic and psychological
abuse are hidden from view. No, wearing a Band-Aid
will not stop Domestic Violence but it helps to raise
awareness. Wearing the Band-Aid represents those
hidden wounds of the soul and offered employees
an opportunity to take a stand against abusive
relationships that are destroying lives.
In keeping with our continuing efforts to offer quality
medical care and service excellence to all who seek
our care, our Emergency Department now has a
Sexual Assault Nurse Examiners (SANE) Program
which offers comprehensive and compassionate
care to victims of sexual assault in the emergency
room. SANE
also educates those victims on their rights and
benefits of receiving an exam and treatment and is
dedicated to conducting and documenting skillful
forensic evidence collection with respect and
sensitivity. SRMC has three certified Sexual Assault
Nurse Examiner (SANE) Nurses. Two of these nurses

Origins of the Pink Ribbon
These days ribbons are worn for many different causes. Red signifies AIDS awareness. A yellow ribbon
has long represented support for armed forces. However, one of the most prominent ribbon colors is
pink, which aims to raise awareness of and support for breast cancer.
Pink is a color that is uniquely feminine, and it also represents a person full of health and vibrancy;
think of little babies pink with life. Pink is also a color that seems the complete antithesis of cancer,
and thusly inspires hope for renewed health and survival.
There is some controversy surrounding the origins of the breast cancer mascot, the pink ribbon. There are also suggestions
that the ribbon was intended to be peach and not pink.
In 1992, just about every organization started using ribbons to raise awareness. The New York Times actually dubbed
1992 “The Year of the Ribbon.” Alexandra Penney, the then-editor of Self magazine, wanted to create a ribbon for the
publication’s second annual Breast Cancer Awareness Month issue. The previous year she had worked with cosmetics giant
Estee Lauder. Evelyn Lauder, the senior corporate vice president, was herself a breast cancer survivor. Penney thought a
collaboration between the magazine and Lauder could see a ribbon on cosmetic counters across the nation, and help sell
a few magazines in the process.
The trouble was Penney had read a story about a 68-year-old woman, Charlotte Haley, who was producing handmade
ribbons in her home. Haley had a number of people in her immediate family who had battled breast cancer and her
handmade “peach” ribbons intended to raise awareness about the limited government funds being used for breast cancer
research. Haley’s message was spreading by word of mouth.
Penney and Lauder contacted Haley and wanted to further collaborate on the peach ribbon theme. However, Haley didn’t
want to be involved, saying the effort would be too commercial. She refused to turn over rights to the use of the peach ribbon. As a result, Penney consulted with attorneys who said to come up with another color, and pink was eventually chosen.
Pink had already been associated with breast cancer in the past. Just a few years earlier, the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer
Foundation had given out pink visors to its “Race for the Cure” participants. It had also created a pink ribbon.
The pink ribbon quickly took off by leaps and bounds. Millions were distributed by Estee Lauder. There are many philanthropic and commercial businesses who now use the pink ribbon in their breast cancer marketing plans. Every October,
women are urged to don pink for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One can find the pink ribbon adorning everything from
cereal boxes to cans of cleanser.
Many embrace the pink ribbon as a symbol of hope, one that has done its share of work toward spreading the word about
the need for more breast cancer awareness and research.

FAMILY FEATURES
ake no bones about it — Halloween is
all about having some spine-tingling
fun. This year, why not share the
scare by hosting a Trick-or-Treat party
for school friends or even the neighborhood?
With these tips and ideas, you can throw a
monster bash on a budget that’s not frightening
at all.
Eerily Good Eats
For a super-simple, sweet treat both kids
and adults love, make Crunchy Ghosts:
n Pick up bags of mini-marshmallows,
popcorn and chocolate chips as well
as a stick of butter.
n Microwave about 40 minimarshmallows and 2 tablespoons of
butter in a bowl, until completely
melted.
n Pour the mix over popped popcorn and
toss well so all the popcorn is evenly
coated and sticky.
n Then, using hands that have been wellgreased with remaining butter, form
the popcorn into oval shapes with flat
bottoms and pop two chocolate chips
on your “ghost” for eyes.
For more Halloween recipes, visit
www.walmart.com/halloween.
Set a Spooktacular Scene
Whether you want to go all-out scary or keep it all
in good fun, you can combine store-bought decorations with homemade creations to save money.
n Line fake gravestones along your walkway. Buy
them pre-made, or make them yourself using
foam or cardboard and spray paint.
n Perch eerie, fake birds near your doorway, and
hang cobwebs anywhere you can reach.
n Place creepy-crawlies, like plastic spiders,
everywhere.
n Add scary inflatable figures to your yard — the
designs get more elaborate every year, and they
store easily when deflated.
n Turn an inexpensive, thrift-store stockpot into a
spooky kitchen-table centerpiece. Just add dry
ice and warm water for frightfully fun fog.
Always wear gloves when you handle dry ice
and always store it in a ventilated container.
n A jack-o-lantern is a Halloween classic. Easy
stencils make complex witch, werewolf and
scary-face designs a breeze.
n Use rechargeable outdoor tea lights and
Halloween-themed string lights as safer alternatives to candles.
n Build a scarecrow — all you need is wooden
garden stakes, pillows, straw and old clothes.
n Use unexpected items in a whole new way.
Spray paint branches or old lamps black and
orange and use them as centerpieces; make
spooky skeleton cut-outs with poster board;
use toilet paper to wrap someone up in a nifty
mummy costume; or bring the outdoors in with
hay bales and mums.
Halloween Safety
Set up a cookie decorating station and let guests create their own monstrously good goodies.
n
Frightfully Fun Games
Kids and grownups alike will get a kick out of
these Halloween games.
n Halloween Charades — Write down
Halloween characters, places and things on
pieces of paper. Fold the papers and put them in
a bowl. Then have each person, in turn, pick a
piece of paper and act out the written words
until the game’s audience guesses what’s being
acted out. Want more competition? Split the
group into teams and award candy prizes for
correct answers.
n
Pin the Nose on the Pumpkin — You’ll
need a pumpkin (either real or made out
of orange construction paper), pushpins
or tape, a blindfold and several pumpkin
noses (black construction paper will work).
Draw eyes and a mouth on your pumpkin’s
face, and hang it up. Blindfold a player,
spin them around, hand them a paper nose
(secured with a pushpin for adults and
tape for children) and direct them toward
the pumpkin. The player who attaches the
nose closest to the right spot wins. You
could also play Pin the Wart on the Witch,
or Pin the Smile on the Scarecrow.
Pumpkin Decorating Contest — Set
out markers, stickers, glue, construction
paper, buttons and other household items.
Give guests a pumpkin and a 30-minute
decoration time frame. Award prizes for
the “Prettiest,” “Scariest” and “Most
Interesting.” Don’t want winners or
losers? Let kids decorate and take home
their pumpkins.
Bewitching Costumes
If you don’t have the time or patience to sit down
and sew a costume, that’s okay. This is one of the
reasons Walmart has so many costumes in stock
at prices that won’t scare you. From a beautiful
princess to a creepy monster, you’ll find your
child’s favorite costumes at affordable prices.
If you want to go the extra mile and create
some gory additions to your costumes, whip up
some fake blood, wounds and face paint.
n Face Paint: Combine 1 teaspoon cornstarch,
1/4 teaspoon water and 1/4 teaspoon food
coloring with 1/2 cup of cold cream.
n Wound: Petroleum jelly makes creepy wound
shapes. Fill the wound with 2 or 3 drops of red
food coloring and a pinch of cocoa powder.
n Fake Blood: Mix 1 teaspoon red food coloring
and 1 squirt of dish soap with 2/3 cup white
corn syrup. Just be sure to keep your fake blood
away from your mouth and eyes.
For more Halloween party tips, decoration ideas
and activities, visit www.walmart.com/halloween.
To keep Trick-or-Treating fun and safe
for everyone, keep these tips in mind:
n Always test make-up in a small area
first. Remove it before bedtime to
prevent skin and eye irritation.
n Look both ways before crossing the
street. Use established crosswalks
wherever possible.
n Wear well-fitting masks, costumes
and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips
and falls.
n Never walk near lit candles or
luminaries. Be sure to wear flameresistant costumes.
n Children should carry a flashlight
and wear reflective or bright colored
clothing at night.
For other ways to help keep costumed
kids visible during evening Trick-orTreating, look for products that glow or
light up, such as:
n Light-up costumes
n Glow sticks
n Reflective stickers
n Light-up necklaces

“Rocking Chairs and Rainbows”
Harrells Christian Academy celebrated their 12th Annual Grandparent’s
Day on Friday. Each year the lower school students invite their grandparents to see a special chapel program and all the great things they have
been doing. This year the program was all about “Rocking Chairs and
Rainbows”. The children performed a wonderful program that included
singing and dancing. This year, the grandparents were able to participate
during “Grandparent Idol”. Several grandparents showed off their talents
as they sang, hula hooped and played the piano with their grandchildren.
After the program, the grandparents were able to visit the classrooms,
have their photo taken with their grandchildren and enjoy refreshments.
This was an exciting day for everyone especially the grandparents!

Buying A Fixer-Upper?
How To Make The Most Of Your Remodel
need credit to cover the
purchase price of the
house, but you’ll need it
for renovation expenses
as well.
The first step you should
take in your bid to buy a
fixer-upper is to check
your credit report and
score. Websites like www.
creditreport.com can help
you understand your
credit.
Understanding
your credit will help you
know whether or not you
can afford to buy a house
that needs work and if
you’ll be able to pay for
the needed renovations.
With home prices and interest rates still low across the
country, and inventories high, it’s a great time to be in
the market for a fixer-upper. By buying a house that
needs some work, you can achieve your dream home
for less than you would probably pay for a move-inready abode.
You
should
also
carefully research what
your options are for
financing your remodel. Learn what your options are,
from traditional fixed mortgages to home equity lines
of credit, and decide before you buy which type of
financing will be best for you. Getting a handle on your
financing before you buy can help ensure you stay on
budget when you’re in the middle of renovations.
To ensure you’re making the most of your investment,
however, it pays to take a look at your credit before
you buy and begin your remodel. You’ll not only
When you’ve got a clear picture of your credit status and
financing options, you can start looking at fixer-uppers.
When you find a good prospect, have your remodeling
contractor walk through the house with you so he can
give you a rough estimate of what needs to be done
and how much the work will cost.
If you’re buying a house that’s in basically good
condition but just looks dated, you’ll have to make some
decisions about where to invest your money. Focus
on improvements that will not only look good, but will
also enhance the value of your home. Resources like
Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value report can give
you a good idea of how much of your original investment
you’ll recoup on different remodeling projects at the
time of resale.
Once you’ve signed all the paperwork and the house
is yours, it’s time to get to work. If you’re handy, you
may be able to save money by doing some of the
renovation work yourself. Projects like painting, adding
crown molding and even putting down new flooring are
well within the skills of most do-it-yourselfers. More
complex projects like drywall, plumbing or electrical
work may be best left to professionals.
Whether you do the work yourself, or hire contractors,
you’ll need to carefully manage all aspects of the
renovation to ensure your remodel stays on budget.
The excitement of remodeling a house into your
dream home can make it easy to get carried away on
spending. Keep in mind that remodeling estimates are
just that - an estimate. The final tab is rarely exactly
what your contractor predicted it would be. Build in at
least 10 percent extra to cover emergency overruns,
and avoid making any unnecessary changes to the
plans while the project is underway.

HUNTING FOR A PRESCRIPTION
DRUG PLAN IS NO GAME
By Brenda Brown
Social Security Public Affairs Specialist
in Fayetteville, NC
It’s that time of year again.
“Open season” is right around the corner
for the Medicare Part D prescription drug
plan. Hunting down the best plan for
you is no game. Newly eligible Medicare
beneficiaries, and current beneficiaries
who are considering changes to their
Medicare Part D plan, should mark their
calendars for October 15. The “open
season” will run from October 15 to
December 7.
The Medicare Part D prescription drug
program is available to all Medicare beneficiaries to help with the
costs of medications. Joining a Medicare prescription drug plan is
voluntary, and participants pay an additional monthly premium for
the coverage.
While all Medicare beneficiaries can participate in the prescription
drug program, some people with limited income and resources also
are eligible for “Extra Help” to pay for monthly premiums, annual
deductibles, and prescription co-payments. The Extra Help is worth
about $4,000 a year.
To figure out whether you are eligible for the Extra Help, Social
Security needs to know your income and the value of any savings,
investments, and real estate (other than the home you live in). To
qualify, you must be receiving Medicare and have:
•
Income not over $16,335 for an individual or $22,065 for a
married couple living together. Even if your annual income is higher,
you still may be able to get some help with monthly premiums,
annual deductibles, and prescription co-payments. Some examples
where your income may be higher include if you or your spouse:
—Support other family members who live with you;
—Have earnings from work; or
—Live in Alaska or Hawaii; and
•
Resources not over $12,640 for an individual or $25,260 for
a married couple living together. Resources include such things as
bank accounts, stocks, and bonds. We do not count your house or
car as resources.
You can complete an easy-to-use online application for Extra Help
at www.socialsecurity.gov. Go to the Medicare tab on the top of the
page. Then go to “Apply for Extra Help with Medicare Prescription
Plan Costs.” To apply for the Extra Help by phone or have an
application mailed to you, call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213
(TTY 1-800-325-0778) and ask for the Application for Extra Help with
Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Costs (SSA-1020).
If you would like more information about the Medicare Part D
Prescription Drug Program itself, visit www.medicare.gov or call
1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227; TTY 1-877-486-2048).
So this open season (October 15 to December 7), after you track
down the perfect prescription drug plan for you, hunt for something
that could put about $4,000 in your pocket — bag the best Medicare
prescription drug plan for you and see if you qualify for the Extra
Help through Social Security

The Fairness Test
What type of company provides
services at cost, and offers a
return on surplus revenue?
a. A non-profit.
b. A cooperative.
c. A member-owned company.
d. All of the above.
South River EMC is that kind of
company, and the answer is:
d. All of the above.
South River EMC is here to turn things around and give you more than you
expect. Here are just a few good reasons to be excited about being a member
of South River EMC. Because we’re a non-profit, we can offer members
electricity at cost. As a cooperative, we have a strong network of support. And
as a member, your service payments entitle you to a percentage of ownership,
a vote in our business dealings, and a share in surplus revenue. In 2009 alone,
North Carolina’s Touchstone Energy cooperatives made statewide payments to
members of $31.3 million. We’re proud to deliver numbers like that.
