John Connet - Helping
Others Soar Like Eagles
Astronauts Charles Duke and Neil Armstrong, former Press
Secretary to Ronald Reagan - James Brady, adventure
novelist Clive Cussler, President Gerald Ford, Governor Rick
Perry of Texas, film producer and director Steven Spielberg
and Michael Moore, Musician John Tesh, Charles McGee and
Percy Sutton, both Tuskegee Airmen, and Dave Moody of the
Moody Brothers; despite their varied careers and interests
these rather famous men all have one thing in common;
they are all Eagle Scouts.
Since it was first awarded to Arthur Rose Eldred in 1912, the
Eagle Scout Award has been given to more than 2 million
young men. It is the highest rank that a Boy Scout can attain;
and once awarded, the title Eagle Scout is held for life. “Once
an Eagle, always an Eagle”.
Webster’s dictionary describes an eagle as a large bird of prey with sharp vision and powerful
wings, famous for their strength, size, grace, and keen vision. It is the national emblem for the
United States. Though the eagle is found throughout the world, it is never found in abundance; it
is always rare and it is always a superb specimen.
In Scouting, the eagle stands for strength of character and for knowledge of all phases of Scouting.
The eagle represents an understanding of community and nation, and a deep respect for same.
The eagle is a symbol of what a young man has done as well as

The North Carolina Department of Transportation, in
conjunction with the Small Business Center at Sampson
Community College, will host a workshop on Wednesday,
April 3, 2013, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 noon, to assist
anyone who would like to register to become a qualified
bidder, contractor, or vendor for any NCDOT projects.
According to NCDOT District 2 Engineer Lin Reynolds,
this will be the second year that this workshop has
been offered. Last year’s workshop saw 53 participants,
and this year is expected to be even more successful.
Reynolds states, “We had 53 participants last year, and
the difference from last year’s class is that we are going
to actually sign contractors up online and in some cases
with hardcopies.”
Reynolds explains that last year, in NCDOT District 2,
“We contracted out about 1.5 million dollars locally
in maintenance work. In resurfacing, we contracted
out over 10 million dollars with about 5 percent being
designated for Minority Business and 5 percent for
Women’s Business. And we spend about 10 thousand
per year on supplies for our offices.”
In addition, the Hwy 24 DOT Project is fast approaching,
and bids for this project will be opened in May of this year.
Reynolds states, “The total TIP projection (budget) is 180
million for sections A thru D.” Bids for sections A and B
will be opened in May, and there could be opportunities
for vendors and contractors to be involved with the
construction of this major project.
Reynolds explains, “The purpose of the workshop is to
assist contractors with signing up and to advise on new
upcoming contracts. Local contractors would want to
attend to learn about upcoming bidding opportunities and
actually sign up online at the class.

Local Civitans Share Easter for Over 25 Years
For more than 25 years, the Sampson County Civitans
have hosted an Easter Egg Hunt for some very special people in our community. And next Wednesday, March 27th,
that tradition continues. 128 special needs children from
Sampson County are expected to gather 2,000 Easter Eggs,
and according to Civitans President, JC Oates, the Easter
Eggs go quickly while the memories last a very long time.
Oates says, “This is a fun day out for the kids that will start
with a movie, popcorn and a drink at East Park Cinema.
The kids then head over to Royal Lane Park for lunch and
will get to meet the Easter Bunny. After that, the hunt begins. And if the weather is nice the kids will likely stay and
enjoy the afternoon out in the park.”
The Sampson County Civitans Club was started in 1974
with the mission to serve individual and community needs
with an emphasis on helping people with developmental
disabilities. The annual Easter Egg hunt is just one of
many events held throughout the year designed to give
these special children an opportunity to enjoy a special day
filled with fun and fellowship. JC Oates said, “Many of
these kids will only see each other a few times during the
year, like at the Easter Egg Hunt, but they develop friendships that last a lifetime. Many of these children will look
forward to seeing each other throughout the year, but once
reunited it’s as if they see each other every day.”
Oates goes on to explain, “A movie and Easter Eggs may not
seem like much to some, but to many of the kids we serve at
Easter it will be the highlight of their year.” And not just for
the kids, because Oates says that once you’ve volunteered
you just get hooked on the delight and happiness you see
on the children’s faces. There will be nearly 50 adult volunteers helping at this year’s annual Easter Egg Hunt, and
many of them will be busy placing eggs while the kids enjoy
the movie. But the several hours of placing eggs will all be
erased in a matter of minutes once the kids are set free to
find them.
All of the events hosted by the Sampson County Civitans
are funded by 2 primary fundraisers held each year. Each
member of the Civitans Club pays monthly dues that cover
100% of all national and district club dues, as well as other
expenses. That means that 100% of the money raised by the
Civitans through their fundraiser efforts goes directly to spe-
Weekly Gas Give-Away Continues To
Bring Excitement To The Community
Over 750 gallons of gas given away at a cost of $2,625 and
35 winners ranging in age from 18 to 85, the Gas-GiveAway has generated both excitement and fun for the local
community!
Margaret Jackson, a recent winner has a great big smile
each time you pass by her. Jackson said, “Thank you for
the opportunity, Thank you, thank you, thank you”! Iris
Kennedy of Clinton beamed, “This could not have come at
a better time!” Employees at both GOGAS locations say
that customers come in on Tuesday’s hoping The Sampson
Weekly hasn’t collected the registrations yet, hoping to
get theirs in for this week’s drawing. Hanna Nix, Ford of
Clinton eagerly counts each week’s entry forms, “42 this
week 72 last week.”
There are only five more weeks remaining in this winter’s
Ford of Clinton-GOGAS Gas Give-Away. The gas giveaway continues to generate excitement at Ford of Clinton
and both GOGAS locations in Clinton. With five weeks
left in the second series of weekly gas give-ways, there
have been approximately 12,500 individual entries delivered to the registration boxes.
Ford of Clinton located on Southeast Blvd in Clinton attributes more than 200 individuals visiting their lot weekly
as a direct result of their marketing efforts presented in
The Sampson Weekly during the second week of March.
Larry McPhail, President and General Manager, Ford of
Clinton stated, “There has been a noticeable increase in the
number of visitors to the dealership since starting the gas
give-away. Several winners have made purchases from Ford
of Clinton in parts, service or sales. I personally have really
enjoyed meeting new people from the community and having my picture made with these fine folks. The entire staff
enjoys every opportunity to share information about Ford's
exciting product line with each visitor. It has truly been a
rewarding opportunity for us. We are so appreciative of the
support from the Clinton and Sampson County communities
and will continue to do all we can to serve them.”
Reggie Stanley, Chief Operating Officer GOGAS Corporation commented on the overall excitement generated by
participating in the Gas-Give-Away saying, "We have been
extremely pleased by the excitement the Weekly Gas GiveAway has created, and we at GOGAS could not be more
pleased with the results. It continues to be a pleasure to be
part of giving back to a community that has given GOGAS
so much through the years, and we look forward to continuing that effort in Sampson County. GOGAS began in Sampson County, and because of that we have always felt a sense
of community. We are grateful for the loyalty our customers
continue to show us; and look forward to giving back and
serving them even more in the future."
The current Weekly Gas Give-Away, has five weeks remaining. Remember you can’t win if you do not do two
things. First fill out an entry form; next drop it in a registration box at The Ford of Clinton or either location of GOGAS
in Clinton. We have $375.00 in gas cards ready to give away
and the next winner could be YOU!

plate fundraiser selling over 2,200 plates. And during the
summer the Civitans sponsor “Seven Nights Out”. Civitans
President JC Oakes says, “We really want to thank everyone

these fundraisers that we are able to give back to these special members of our community.”

The EAGLE SCOUT AWARD represents many years of dedicated
effort and the successful completion of a long process which started
when the young man became a Boy Scout. It is a demonstration of
how people, working together, can truly help mold a young man
with a solid sense of leadership, citizenship, and responsibility.
Clinton’s City Manager, John Connet, earned the rank of Eagle Scout
at the age of 14, and while John is no longer an active scout, he
will forever be an Eagle Scout. Connet has previously served on the
Troop Committee for Boy Scout Troop 27 at Graves Memorial Presbyterian Church, and for more
than 10 years now, John has taught as many as 75 Boy Scouts in our community that have worked to
receive their merit badge for Citizenship in the Community.
Connet credits his experience in the Boy Scouts for much of his own success, and encourages others
to soar to the rank of Eagle, “Scouting has been extremely valuable to me. Scouts taught me how to
work with large groups of people and helped me develop the social and leadership skills I needed
to be successful in my career. I would tell young people who are considering leaving scouting that
the leadership skills you learn in scouting will benefit you the rest of your life; and listing the rank
of Eagle Scout on your resume could very well separate you from other college or job applicants.”
Mr. Connet explains, “A young man who reaches the rank of Eagle Scout understands what it takes
to set and obtain difficult goals. A young man who reaches the rank of Eagle Scout realizes that
‘nothing worthwhile comes easy’; and this scout has learned how to persevere through difficult
times to reach his goals.”
Reaching the rank of Eagle Scout requires dedication, hard work, demonstrated leadership, and
perseverance. Connet says of his experience, “The hardest part of reaching the rank of Eagle Scout
is having the perseverance to obtain the twenty-one merit badges and do all the paperwork that
is required for your Eagle Scout project. Fortunately, I was part of a great Boy Scout Troop. In the
mid-1980s, Troop 27 had forty members and we all seem to motivate each other to reach the rank of
Eagle Scout. I am proud to say that there were at least 8 to 10 scouts who joined Troop 27 within a
couple of years of each other who reached the rank of Eagle Scout.”
The final requirement for a Boy Scout to reach the rank of Eagle Scout is completion of an Eagle Scout
project. The rigorous nature of this required service project is a major step in the completion of the
Eagle rank. Very often, the Eagle Project is what highlights the full impact of the Scouting program
to the community at-large. The National Eagle Scout Association has researched the total volunteer
hours of the Eagle service projects ever done and it came to a total of more than 100 million hours of
service; and each year new Eagle Scouts are adding more than three million more hours.
Connet, whose own Eagle Scout project consisted of cleaning and painting 100 fire hydrants in
Clinton, says that mentoring and motivation play a key role in helping a young man become an
Eagle Scout. “I had several mentors, but I think what motivated me the most was the fact that I had
two older cousins who were Eagle Scouts. I really looked up to these men and was impressed when
I saw their Eagle Awards hanging on the wall. I wanted to be the next Eagle in the family. Other
mentors include Eagle Scouts in GMPC Troop 27 such as Rainey Parker, Jay Faison, Jamie Royal and
Warren Sinclair.”
Mr. Connet concluded, “For every Eagle Scout there are a group of people who have helped him
achieve this award. These people include parents, scout leaders, mentors and friends of scouting.
Obtaining this award would not be possible without this group of people. So, for everyone who has
helped a young man to reach the rank of Eagle Scout, I say thank you! We could not have done it
without you.”

his staff for the increased and improved visibility and services
for our town and its citizens. As we continue to increase
economic development, it is very important that our law enforcement officers remain visible,
vigilant, and responsive. Sheriff Thornton and his staff are a vital part of our community and
also participate and provide coverage for special functions such as the NC STEP Celebration
and the Rotary Fair.”
Mayor Pro tem Ralph Smith responded, “Job well done! It is the best Department we have had
in years.”
The town of Garland entered into the contract with the sheriff’s office in 2010, closing the
local police station. The cost to the town is currently $7,262.00 per month for the contracted
services with the Sheriff’s Department.
According to Mayor Murphy, “Sheriff Deputies provide the town with police coverage on a daily
basis. In addition to responding to 911 service calls, the deputies actively patrol the streets of
Garland in residential and business areas. Details include traffic violations, business checks,
escorts, investigations, patrolling, and crime control.”
The Sampson County Sheriff’s Department has made numerous improvements over the course
of the last year. Mayor Murphy commented on the changes, “The department has increased
visibility and communication. We are excited about the new Sheriff Annex that recently
opened in downtown Garland.”
Murphy continued, “During the last year, the town asked the sheriff deputies to make a report
at each town board meeting. Officers verbally report, answer questions, and provide a written
activity report. Officers were asked to check in with town staff on a daily basis to increase
communication between the town and the sheriff’s department. We also asked our deputies to
help eliminate speeders on Highway 701 to increase vehicular and pedestrian safety.”
According to Sgt Jay Parsons, “We are currently updating all our businesses and churches
contact information for after-hours emergencies. Our job is monitoring traffic, controlling each
city street, checking businesses and churches, answering any citizen’s complaints and/or calls
for assistance.”
Parsons continued, “Currently we have two radar certified officers, Chris Hardison and myself.
Radar is used as a tool to confirm and/or rule out a motorist’s speed. The individual officers
judge and monitor particular motorist and based on the training they have received they have
the skills to take any enforcement action to more accurately pinpoint the violator. Being able to
accurately track motorist speed has made motorist more aware of their surroundings and their
speed. This makes traveling through town safer for them and the motoring public because the
motorists are traveling closer to the posted speed; which also in return, provides great results
in lowering any traffic crash. It also makes it safer for pedestrian traffic in Garland. Because
our patrols have increased, we are more visible, and overall most motorists comply with the
recommended speed.”
According to Sheriff Jimmy Thornton, “I feel as if the Sheriff’s Office and the town of Garland
have a great relationship with one another. We are always looking for a way to improve our
services to not only Garland but all Sampson County citizens. We are very much engaged in
the town’s monthly meetings, where we give them a monthly report as well as accept feedback
from the town.”
“Thanks to the town of Garland,” stated Sheriff Thornton, “we now have an annex for the officers
assigned to work there. This allows the officers assigned to the town an opportunity to stay
in the town and work without having to leave to complete paperwork and other task. The
Sergeant can also now pick up and deliver any paperwork to and from the town and officers,
allowing for officers to stay put in the town. This has been a great asset to both the Sheriff’s
Office and the Town. Sergeant Parsons has been a great communicator for myself and the
Town. He continues to build on a great relationship between the both of us.”
The Sheriff expressed, “The Deputies that patrol Garland are responsible for enforcing all State
and local laws, as well as answer calls for service. While on patrol the deputies also conduct
business checks and communicate with citizens on a daily basis to address any needs or
concerns they may have. I feel like there has been a significant decrease in crime since we have
taken over patrols in Garland. I hear nothing but praises from the citizen’s on how we have
helped to curtail crime and drugs in their community.”
In closing, the Sheriff stated, “I am grateful for the opportunity to have my officers serve the town
of Garland. I am glad that my office is able to provide the citizens with the law enforcement
service they expect and need. I encourage citizens to continue to become engaged in their
community and report any criminal activity they may see.”

Mr. Royal also spoke of “The early days when the hardware store was founded by his grandfather C.S. Royal in

outgrew. In 1912 C.S. Royal added on a brick building.
In 1932, C.A.’s father C.A. Sr. joined the business. Later,
during the Great Depression, there was bartering. Farmers would bring in meat or vegetables and trade them for
clothes or other items they needed. I’ve seen a lot change

Current owner Jim McGuirt continues, “We still strive to

AN ACCIDENT
H.W. “Sandy” Sanderson Jr.
Holland, Poole, Holland & Sanderson, P.A.
Most people think that
if they are injured while
doing their job, they
are entitled to Workers’
Compensation benefits.
Unfortunately, not all
work related injuries
entitle the injured worker to Workers’ Compensation
benefits. With a few exceptions, injured workers are
only entitled to Workers’ Compensation benefits
if they are injured as a result of an accident while
doing their job.
There are exceptions to the accident requirement
for injuries to the back and hernias. Both of them only
require only a specific traumatic event, basically the
ability to pinpoint the injury to a specific time while
working. The other exceptions are for occupational
diseases such as carpal tunnel syndrome or even
brucellosis.
An accident in Workers’ Compensation terms is
anything out of the ordinary that causes the injury.
The injury itself does not qualify as the accident.
For example, if a worker is walking across the floor
in a plant doing his job, trips, falls, and the fall injures
his knee, then the knee injury is compensable

and he is entitled to Workers’ Compensation.
The fall constitutes an accident for Workers’
Compensation purposes.
However, if the same worker is walking across
the floor, feels something pop in his knee, feels
a burning pain and goes down as a result of
the injury, then he is not entitled to Workers’
Compensation. There is an injury, but no accident.
The key in handling one of these cases is going
through the details that led up to the injury.
Anything at all out of the ordinary may meet the
definition of accident and allow the injured worker
to receive Workers’ Compensation benefits.
It is very rare for an employee to be injured at work
without anything out of the ordinary happening. It
is, however, vital to know how important it is to
point out the “accident” aspect of your case when
reporting your injury to your employer.

Sampson County Manager, Ed Casuey, was contacted by The Sampson

was from Mr. Jefferson Strickland on Wednesday. Mr. Jefferson Strickland
said, according to the family, Mr. Jarvis was improving ever so slowly, but was
making improvements.” Causey continued, “Mr. Jarvis McLamb is a strong,
and resilient man with fortitude. He is the kind of person with drive and determination to overcome. If there is anyone I would expect who could recover
from this incident, it would be him.”

Precious Memories
This week’s devotional reflection is dedicated to my mother,
Bethel “Mudear” Williams. It has been nearly fourteen years
since complications from Alzheimer’s disease silenced her
voice and took her away me, but cradled in the stillness of
the dawning of a rainy day, the sound of her laughter ushered in the morning. Oh, what a welcomed greeting that
was! One of the greatest fears I have had about losing my
Mother is the fear of forgetting the sound of her voice, but
there in the quietness of my bedroom, I remembered.
Afraid that I would interfere with the sacredness of the
priceless moment, I did not move. I simply allowed myself
to be swept away by God’s faithfulness to me. If only for
a split second, God led me to a Secret Garden in which to
remember. A flowing fountain of memories about who she
was and what she enjoyed came to mind. I remembered
her smile. I remembered her laugh. The tender sound of
Mudear’s voice against the soft rhythm of falling rain was
a grand blessing. What an awesome gift from the Lord! A
friend once said to me, “Some gifts from God come in the
form of dreams. If the beautifully wrapped gift is a memory
of someone special, celebrate.” And so I will.
What I will celebrate most though is the majestic revelation
of God. It is amazing how his love for us is experienced in so
many unexpected ways –the sound of a mother’s laughter,
the hug of a small child, or tender grasp of elderly grandparent. My heart wanted to stay in the moment, hoping that

heavenly MANIFESTIONS –Your presence on this morning
covered me with recognition of a divine love that surpasses what I had once thought to be the greatest love of all …
the love of my Mother.
By Vanessa W. Polk
John 14:1 – Let not your heart be
troubled. Trust in God.
my mother’s presence would linger with me, but my soul took
refuge in a sanctuary of praise. I was in the midst of a love far
greater than the love of family or friends. Caught up into a spirit of worship, I felt no sadness or pain; and there were no tears
dancing on the edge of my eyelids. I felt a peace that surpasses all
human understanding. Gratitude welled up inside as I expressed
my thankfulness to God for giving me such a wonderful Mother.
As a child I never thought about not hearing her voice when
I woke up each day, but now as I reflect on those days I am so
grateful for every morning I did get to hear it. And because I did
hear her voice, I have the capacity to bring those memories back
to mind –like the smell of coffee, hearing the ruffling noise of the
newspaper as she sat at the kitchen table reading the “Times-Picayune,” the tenderness of her touch upon my face as she combed
my hair for school, the brilliant flash of her smile as she listened
attentively to my long accounts of what I learned in Sunday
School or seeing the sheer joy on her face as she sat on the porch
talking to her sister.
Thank you God for MEMORY - the mental capacity to store past
experiences. Thank you God for MEMORIES – those priceless
Life Focus: Bereavement is an intimate spiritual journey;
none of us will travel its winding road quite the same way;
our emotional responses will vary greatly. Grief is personal
and delicate. Honor your loved ones and embrace your
memories of them. In as much as you emotionally able
to do so, spend time ‘celebrating’ the seconds, minutes,
hours, days, weeks, months and years of their living; not
solely ‘concentrating’ on the heartbreaking impact of their
demise. Although nothing can take away the pain of losing the ones we love so dearly, we do not have to cry or
suffer through it without hope. As you wrestle with God
through your season of sadness, let his wondrous grace
gently lead you to your own Secret Garden of remembrance, relief, resolve, and release. And like the dew in the
mornings, let his presence anoint your memories, quietly
nourishing your soul with his sweet peace.
“Precious memories, how they linger, how they every
flood my soul. In the stillness of the midnight, precious
sacred scenes unfold. Precious memories, unseen angels sent from somewhere to my soul. How they linger,
ever near me and the sacred past unfold. Precious Father,
Loving Mother fly across the lonely years, and old home
scenes of my childhood in fond memory appear. As I travel, on life’s pathway, know not what the years may hold, as
I ponder, hope grows fonder, precious memories flood my
soul.” (Gospel Hymn credited to J.B.F. Wright)
“The Sufficiency of the Scripture”
Part 4
Rodney Phillips
Carolina College
of Biblical Studies
Fayetteville, NC
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, outstanding preacher
of the 19th century gave a challenge to those who
oppose the Bible: “Come, search, you critics & find a
flaw; Examine it from Genesis to Revelation and find
an error. This is a vein of pure gold.” In that last
statement, the value of God’s Word is declared.
How valuable is the Bible? David said in Psalm 19:10
that the Bible is “more desirable than gold.” The Bible
is the greatest possession. This is the immeasurable
value of God’s Word. We should agree that God’s
Word is worth more to us than thousands of pieces
of silver & gold (Psalm 119:72).
National Geographic chronicled Mel Fisher’s 23 year
search for gold on the Atlantic Ocean floor. He paid
a high price in his discovery of a golden carpet, as it
claimed 4 victims including a son and daughter-inlaw. Is it worth it? There is something of far greater
worth. The Bible is the greatest possession.
If we own a copy of God’s Word, we already own
the greatest possession. The riches we enjoy from
God’s Word are eternal, offering the way of eternal
life & God’s plan for a fulfilling life. Spiritual treasure
should be desired and sought after with greater
eagerness than material treasure. God’s Word is
that valuable. This is the sufficiency of Scripture!
Easter Comes Alive at the Roseboro
Park Thanks to Mintz Baptist Church
Home Town Care From Home Town Folks
On Easter Sunday, Christians celebrate the resurrection of the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is typically
the most well-attended Sunday service of the year for Christian churches. Being a Christian,
Easter is the most important holiday for us because according to Scripture, Jesus came back
to life, or was raised from the dead, three days after his death on the cross. As part of the Easter season, the death of Jesus Christ by crucifixion is commemorated on Good Friday, always
the Friday just before Easter. Through his death, burial, and resurrection, Jesus paid the penalty for sin, thus purchasing for all who believe in him, eternal life in Christ Jesus.

On March 30 from 7-9pm, Mintz Baptist Church will hold its annual Easter Scene, however
this year instead of being a “Drive Thru” event, it is going to be a “Walk Thru” Easter Scene.
The venue has changed as well, with this year’s event being held at the Downtown Roseboro
Park.
According to Brian Jackson, Youth Pastor at Mintz Baptist, “The difference in this year’s event
will be that in the past the drama was performed on church grounds. The audience would
be loaded up on trailers pulled by tractors that drove the people to a designated scene portrayed. They would start at the first scene at the Garden where Jesus prayed and driven to the
last scene which was the Ascension. For people that couldn't get out to ride around by the
guides, they could drive their own vehicles to view the scenes. This year groups will be guided by members of the church by walking to each scene. They will have a program that will
explain each scene to the viewer. We are doing this at the park to hopefully share the Easter
message to a wider area of people.”
“The costumes, props and people are prepared to share a powerful production,” states Jackson. “I expect this to work better because I am expecting the audience to be more connected
as they are walking through the drama. I believe it will add a more intimate setting for the
viewer. I think that it will reach more people that in the past. Being that it is being held at
the park, we wanted to evangelize into the community and reach people who might would
attend this event that normally wouldn't go to the church to see it.”
Scene 1 will be the “Garden of Gethsemene” (Jesus Prays Unto The Father & Apprehension);
Scene 2 will be Pilate's Court (Jesus Judged By Pilate); Scene 3 will be the Whipping Post (Jesus Flogged By Soldiers); Scene 4 will be Calvary (Jesus Being Crucified With Thieves); Scene
5 will be the Tomb (Jesus Risen From The Grave); and the final Scene 6 will be the Ascension
(Jesus Returns To Heaven). At the end there will be a prayer area and evangelism team to
counsel those who would like to become a Christian.

Jackson emphasizes the power of the event, “This is important because it's doing what Jesus
commanded us to do in Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come
upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the
end of the earth.” Jerusalem is your community (region) you live in. We are trying to use this
to witness and declare God's plan for salvation for humanity through Jesus.”
The “Walk Thru” Easter Scene is being done by the youth department of Mintz Baptist Church
as one of its evangelistic outreaches for 2013. Pastor Jackson responds, “However there will
be much needed help from the adult membership at Mintz Baptist Church as well. Members
from other fellowships will be involved and we are expecting over 100 people involved in
presenting this drama.”
Mr. Jackson urges, “I would like to invite and challenge believers to mark this date on their calendar. First- for Christians to pray for this evening and that someone would come to a saving
relationship in Jesus through this drama. Second- To challenge everyone to get the word out
about this not only in their church, but also to those outside your church as well. Invite your
friends, associates at work, members of your family and your neighbors you live beside in
your community. This drama is important to remind converted believers of the sacrifice that
God made so that we all could be forgiven of the sin in our individual lives. This also is a time
to join together in worship to our Lord for his love for all of us. However, the most important
reason this is being done, is to share Jesus with those who are lost and need Jesus in their life.”
Please come out and celebrate Easter during this event. The cost is free to the public and we
want everyone regardless of age, color, denomination and nationality to attend. The “Walk
Thru” Easter Scene will be held on March 30, 2013 at the Roseboro Downtown Park from
7-9pm.

Have I Got A Story To Share With You!
by Debra Joy Wallace
‘current issues’ in today’s society. Raise up Yourself a
people who will not fear what man or government may
do…but will instead live their lives in accordance to Your
Word. Raise up a people who will use Your Word and
Your Word only as their moral compass. Enough with the
blind (spiritually) leading the blind.
All I’ve got to say is that I am so very thankful God’s
faithfulness does not depend on my faithfulness.
Because I’m telling you there are times when I flake off.
And I’m not talking about going out and doing the ‘wild
thing’ like I used to do before committing my life to Jesus
Christ. No, what I’m speaking of are the times when I
allow ‘other things’ first place in my life and I slide Jesus
on the back burner. Please don’t start pointing your
finger at me in an accusing way, because if the truth be
told, you’ve probably been known to flake off too. Am I
right? (Wink-Wink)
Actually there’s a Scripture that talks about God being
faithful when we’re not. It’s found in 2 Timothy 2:13
and it goes like this, “If we are faithless [do not believe
and are untrue to Him], He remains true (faithful to His
Word and His righteous character), for He cannot deny
Himself.” I’m telling you God’s got the answer for every
situation and need in life. And it’s really not surprising is
it? Even when we feel guilty for being flaky…God’s Word
encourages, comforts, and strengthens us. And that’s
because God loves us and He’s for us.
I find it unbelievable that some people have the audacity
to say God’s Word is not relevant (applicable, significant,
important) for today! Dear God, what are these people
thinking? Father God, raise up godly men, women,
boys and girls who will refuse to compromise with the
My goodness…I seemed to have gone down a rabbit
trail. It’s just that I’m very concerned over what I see
happening to our country and to our rights. I hope
I’m wrong about this, but it sure doesn’t look like very
many Christians have taken notice. Or else, they don’t
really care. And to me, that’s a crying shame. Certainly
you don’t need me to tell you that there’s a spiritual
battle going on. Even non-believers recognize what’s
happening. Call it what you want, the Good versus Evil
Battle or if you prefer, the Light versus Darkness Battle.
But make no mistake about it…war is raging. How sad
that people who call themselves Christians won’t budge
off the pews. It’s time we stop flaking off. It’s time for
God’s Army to arise and to follow His commands.
Now back to this week’s story. Don’t you just love it when
the Holy Spirit speaks to you? A couple of days ago I was
sitting in my car in the field behind my house, praying.
(I love to watch the beautiful colors of the early morning
sunrise as I pray) While praying, I accidentally dozed off.
I woke with a start when my head dropped toward my
chest. The instant, the very instant my eyes opened…
the Holy Spirit spoke to my spirit, “The sun comes up.
The sun goes down. Great is God’s faithfulness.” I
won’t go into the details here, but I knew that God was
reminding me that He was with me and that no matter
what situations I encountered…I could trust Him to have
my back. Likewise, you too can trust God’s faithfulness.
Following are the words to Thomas O. Chisholm’s hymn,
“Great Is Thy Faithfulness”. Please, do yourself a huge
favor and resist the impulse to speed-read the lyrics.
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee,
Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not,
As Thou hast been,Thou forever wilt be. (Refrain)
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above;
Join with all nature in manifold witness,
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. (Refrain)
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own great presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside. (Refrain)
Refrain:
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!

“Unbelieveable!” These are
just a few of the remarks
Thomas Jefferson makes at
the accomplishments that
the United States has made
in the twentieth century. To
which Alex Ravenna, who
is trying his best to work,
replies, “Will you cut it
out?” These are just a minute amount of the hilarious lines that Aaron Batts
(Alex) and Chadwick Lewis
(Jefferson) rehearse as we
prepare to bring you the
mature comedy “LOST ON
THE FORTH OF JULY”. The
show’s director Tom Wilbur has the cast going over
the lines 5, 6, 7 times every
night in order to bring you
this great show. Mr. Wilbur
is certainly no stranger to
this show. He has not only
performed in this play, he
is also very good friends
with the show’s writer, Rick
Harlowe. There is still a lot
of work to be done, but rest
assured that come opening
night you are going to be
treated to one great show!!

Spiced Grilled Ham
with Citrus Glaze
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 1/2 to 2 hours
Yield: 12 to 14 (4-ounce) servings
6 to 7-pound fully-cooked bone-in
ham, trimmed
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/4 cup lemon marmalade
(or other citrus marmalade)
2 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Preheat gas or charcoal grill to mediumhot (375°F to 425°F). Prepare grill for
indirect cooking: For gas grill, turn off
center burner; for charcoal grill, bank
coals on either side; place a drip pan
under grate between heat sources.
Score a diamond pattern into ham,
about 1/8 inch deep into any fat. In small
bowl, combine coriander, paprika, cumin,
cinnamon and cloves. Rub spice mixture
over all sides of ham. Place ham, flat side
down, in center of grill over drip pan.
Cover and cook, adding briquettes as
necessary to maintain heat, until internal
temperature of ham reaches 140°F, 1 1/2
to 2 hours or 15 to 18 minutes per pound.
Meanwhile, in small bowl, combine
marmalade, orange juice and sugar.
Brush marmalade mixture over ham.
Cover and grill 5 minutes, until glaze is
lightly caramelized. Remove ham from
grill, transfer to cutting board, and let rest
15 to 30 minutes.
(Oven-roasting instructions can be
found at www.porkbeinspired.com.)
GRILLING TIPS
from the National Pork Board
n
n
n
Grill over indirect heat. This allows the ham to heat
evenly, without burning.
Score the ham. Scoring (diagonal cuts about 1 inch
apart on the surface of the ham) not only looks more
appealing, but it allows both the natural juices and
the glaze to penetrate and flavor the meat.
Use an instant-read thermometer. Heat pre-cooked
(or cured) ham until the internal temperature reaches
140°F. Cook fresh uncooked ham until the internal
temperature reaches 145°F, followed by a 3-minute
rest. When inserted into the thickest part of the meat
(without touching any bone), the temperature should
register within a few seconds.
FAMILY FEATURES

You can find more Easter recipes, helpful tips and nutrition
information at www.porkbeinspired.com.
Roasted Potatoes with Bacon and Goat Cheese
Cook Time: 40 minutes
Yield: 6 servings
1/2 pound bacon, sliced
12 small red potatoes, halved
Olive oil
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup goat cheese, plain
4 tablespoons green onions, sliced
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3 tablespoons dill, snipped, plus dill for garnish
1/4 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Heat oven to 450°F.
In large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, turning to brown
evenly, until crisp. Blot bacon on paper towels, mince and set aside.
Brush cut surfaces of potatoes lightly with olive oil. Place
potato halves cut side up on a shallow rimmed baking pan; bake
until potatoes are tender and faces of potatoes are lightly browned,
about 20 to 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in small bowl mash together sour cream and goat
cheese, stir in minced bacon, onion, Parmesan, dill, salt and pepper.
Top each potato with a spoonful, about 2 teaspoons, of sour
cream mixture. Serve warm.
Make-Ahead Tip: Roast potatoes before guests arrive; keep warm
in the oven. Top with cheese mixture before serving.
Ham and Peas with Mint and Tarragon
Yield: 4 to 6 servings
4 ounces cooked ham, cut into 1/4-inch dice
3 cups peas, fresh or frozen
3 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/2 stick) cut into
4 to 6 pieces
1/4 cup fresh mint, coarsely chopped, plus sprigs
for garnish
2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, coarsely chopped,
plus sprigs for garnish
Salt and pepper to taste
Bring medium saucepan of well-salted water to a boil over high
heat. Add peas and cook until tender, 3 to 8 minutes depending
on size of peas.
Drain peas, reserving 2 tablespoons cooking water. Return
peas and cooking water to saucepan. Add ham, butter, mint, and
tarragon, stirring until butter melts. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer to bowl, garnish with mint and tarragon sprigs,
and serve.
Caramel Frozen Yogurt Pie
with Grilled Peaches
Yield: 8 to 10 servings
2 pints premium vanilla frozen
yogurt
1 9-inch prepared graham
cracker pie crust, or
8 individual graham cracker
pie crusts
1 1/4 cups caramel sauce, store-bought
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
6 ripe medium sized peaches,
halved and pitted
Transfer 1 pint of frozen yogurt from
freezer to refrigerator to soften for 30 to
40 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Bake pie crust
until lightly browned and crisp, about 10
minutes. Set aside to cool.
To assemble pie, spread softened
yogurt evenly over pie crust. Place in
freezer and chill about 1 hour. When firm,
spread about 3/4 cup caramel evenly over
frozen yogurt.
Return pie to the freezer, and transfer
second pint of frozen yogurt to refrigerator. Allow pint to soften for 30 to 40
minutes.
Spread second pint of yogurt evenly
over caramel, making decorative swirls,
if possible. Freeze until firm. Remove
from freezer 10 minutes before serving.
To grill peaches, prepare medium fire
in a charcoal grill or preheat gas grill on
medium. Melt butter and stir in brown
sugar until dissolved. Toss peaches with
butter mixture until well coated.
Grill peaches directly over medium
fire, cut-side up, until grill marks are
visible, about 5 minutes. Turn peaches
over and grill until grill marks show and
peaches are tender, about 4 minutes
longer. Set aside to cool. When cool, cut
peaches into thick wedges.
When ready to serve, cut pie into
wedges and serve with peaches on the
side. Drizzle a little of remaining caramel
sauce over top.

Color, Texture And More: Vinyl Continues To Be
America’s Most-Installed Siding
as a cladding of choice in storm-prone and moisturerich coastal areas. Its durability, low maintenance and
limited lifetime warranty are factors making it popular
in locations such as Virginia Beach, the Carolina coast
and communities throughout Alabama.
Unlimited by geography, Foundry siding is found
nationally, from whole-house applications in Western
New York and South Florida to gable accents in the
Great Lakes and Mountain West.
While vinyl siding has historically been the most-used
siding material in the U.S., its continuing advancements
are allowing even more choice when it comes to two
critical qualities desired by homeowners: outstanding
curb appeal and low maintenance. Add to this to the
growing interest by homeowners to save energy and
the increasing green measures being taken by builders,
and insulated vinyl siding stands out as a versatile
choice.
More value is being created by marrying texture and
toughness, creating beautiful and extremely durable
homes. The toughest vinyl siding exteriors are codecompliant for hurricane zones and offer maximum
possible fire resistance ratings.
For example, with several new stone siding profiles in its
Foundry Stone Collection and the most comprehensive
color palette for cedar shake and shingle panels, Foundry
premium vinyl siding by The Tapco Group has emerged
“The Foundry has great looks and I like the fact that
it meets the strict Florida building code wind load
requirement,” says George Williams, owner of Precision
Homecrafters, Birmingham, Ala. “With the Foundry’s
cedar shake profile, until you walk up and touch it, you
don’t know that it’s vinyl.”
Foundry siding’s robust strength withstands the harshest
conditions. With a wind load exceeding 170 mph, it
also features highest-rating Class 1(A) fire resistance
and 60-inch per pound or more impact resistance. At
the same time, it is easily cut with snips and comes in
efficient 5-foot panels so a single installer can quickly
side the home.
Homeowner Marsha Wallace had 27 squares of
Foundry Siding installed on her Virginia Beach, Va.
home. “Everyone who has seen the house is amazed
when they get up really close and realize it’s vinyl siding.
They don’t believe it until they get up really close and
examine it. It looks like brand new shake and doesn’t
look like your typical siding job at all,” Wallace says.“The freedom from maintenance is very attractive,” she
adds.
Williams also appreciates the low maintenance. “I put
Foundry siding on my home,” notes Williams. “People
see it and they really like it.”
Manufactured from molds of real cedar and stone,
authenticity is built into these premium vinyl panels.
In addition to the easy-installing 5-foot panel lengths,
Foundry firsts include proprietary multi-tone Weathered
Collection colors and the only stone siding profile Foundry Stacked Stone - featuring the finely-tuned
detail of integrated grout lines.
“A very important aspect is being maintenance-free. The
last thing that many homeowners want to do is literal
“home” work. Time-saving products like The Foundry
that reduce maintenance can be a huge benefit for a lot
of people,” says Jonathan Wierengo, vice president of
marketing for The Tapco Group. “You have a versatile,
large-selection of warm and inviting colors that let the
house stand out - and you don’t have to worry about
painting.”
Today's Dream Home Utilizes Modern Technology For Increased Functionality
technology, like those found in the 2013 HGTV Dream Home,
can add ease and efficiency to everyday tasks. By allowingthe water flow to be activated with a simple tap anywhere
on the faucet, handle or spout, faucets like the Delta Cassidy
single-handle pull down kitchen faucet with Touch2O
Technology, help homeowners conserve water and -avoid
unwanted messes while entertaining.
The number of improving housing markets expanded for a
sixth consecutive month in January 2013 according to the
National Association of Home Builders/First American. With
this positive sign, it’s an interesting time for homeowners to
consider investing in high-tech home upgrades that not only
increase their home’s value and simplify everyday tasks, but
also create a dream home ambience for the entire family to
enjoy.
From lighting fixtures that turn on at your expected arrival to
heated bathroom floors that warm up just before your alarm
clock goes off, it can be surprising how one or two high-tech
luxury upgrades can transform the functionality of your
home.
According to Jack Thomasson, HGTV Dream Home House
Planner, to get the biggest bang for your buck, the key is to
start adding these updates where it matters the most.
“The kitchen is the perfect place to apply technology that
connects our home to our lifestyle,” says Thomasson, “When
applied properly, technology in the kitchen can have a
greater impact than when applied in any other room of the
house.”
For example, the simple addition of a new faucet with touch
This ease and efficiency added by touch technology is being
incorporated into new homes at rates never seen before, as
more and more consumers use the technology on a daily
basis to interact with smart
phones, ATM machines,
tablets, computers, printers
and other devices. It is now
possible to utilize touch
technology on tablets and
smart phones to remotely
adjust
lights,
monitor
room
temperature,
or
even summon a hidden
flat screen television. Not
only are these tools adding
time-saving solutions but
they are also providing new
energy-saving benefits that
can be felt on your water,
electric and natural gas bills
at home.

HEALTH
Are Expired Medications Still Safe?
It is 2 a.m. and that cough and stuffy nose you have been
battling is still keeping you up. You reach for the nighttime
cold relief medicine only to find it expired a few months
ago. If you take a dose to ease your symptoms, will you be
putting yourself at risk?
This situation is a relatively common occurrence. Many
medicine cabinets are stocked with over-the-counter drugs
as well as prescription medications that may be past their
expiration dates. It is a good idea to routinely discard expired medicines, but if you happen to take a drug that has
passed its expiration date, you will most likely suffer no ill
effects.
According to the Harvard Medical School Family Health
Guide, the expiration date on a medicine is not the dates
when a drug becomes hazardous. Rather, it marks the period of time after which a drug company can no longer guarantee the efficacy of the medication. Since 1979, drug manufacturers selling medications in the United States have been
required by the Food and Drug Administration to stamp an
expiration date on their products. This is the date until which
the manufacturer can still guarantee full potency of the drug.
Expiration dates also may be a marketing ploy. Francis Flaherty, a retired FDA pharmacist, has said drug manufacturers put expiration dates on products for marketing purposes rather than scientific reasons. It doesn’t make financial
sense to a company to have products on the shelves for years.
Therefore, most drug manufacturers will not do long-term
testing on products to confirm if they will be effective 10 to
15 years after manufacture.
The U.S. military has conducted their own studies with the
help of the FDA. FDA researchers tested more than 100 overthe-counter and prescription drugs. Around 90 percent were
proven to still be effective long past the expiration date -some for more than 10 years. Drugs that are stored in cool,
dark places have a better chance of lasting because the fillers
used in the product will not separate or start to break down
as they might in a warm, humid environment. Storing medicines in the refrigerator can prolong their shelf life.
Although a pharmacist cannot legally advise consumers
to use medication past an expiration date, most over-thecounter pain relievers and drugs in pill form should still be
fine. Certain liquid antibiotics and drugs made up of organic
materials can expire faster than others. For those who still
want to err on the safe side, routinely clean out medications
from cabinets once they expire. However, if an expired medication is taken by mistake, there’s little need to worry about
potentially adverse effects.
Hypoallergenic Pets More Hype Than Fact
Allergy sufferers are often advised to steer clear of
pets, as brushing up to a cat or dog can trigger an
allergy attack or a rash. Those with pet allergies may
be willing to spend any amount of money to get a pet
that is dubbed “hypoallergenic.” Although there are
some breeds of dogs and cats that are less likely to
trigger an allergic attack, some research indicates that
a hypoallergenic pet is a myth.
According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of
America, one out of every four people struggles with
allergies and asthma on a regular basis, and 15 to 30
percent of these cases are dog or cat-related. Those
with allergies may think a hypoallergenic pet will be
the answer to their watery eyes and sneezes. But a
study published in the American Journal of Rhinology
& Allergy raises issues about hypoallergenic dogs.
People who spend hundreds, if not thousands, of
dollars on a dog purported to be hypoallergenic may
just be wasting their money.
Researchers at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit took dust
samples from 173 dog-owning households, where 60
breeds were represented, including 11 breeds that are
considered to be hypoallergenic. What they discovered
was that homes with allegedly hypoallergenic pets
contained just as much of the prime dog allergen,
known as Can f 1, as those of the other breeds. According
to senior author and epidemiologist Christine Cole
Johnson, “There is simply no environmental evidence
that any particular dog breed produces more or less
allergen in the home than another one.”
That doesn’t mean that all dogs produce the same
amount of allergen as others. In fact, genetics and
environmental factors, including how often a dog and
a home is cleaned, can contribute to the dander and
allergens produced by a particular dog. Dogs within
the same breed may vary as to how much can one dog
create compared to another. In essence, one Labrador
may induce an allergic reaction, while the other doesn’t
even cause a person to sneeze.
The hypoallergenic label is often given to dog breeds
that have short fur or do not shed much. But allergens
are not attached to the fur. They are actually a secretion
from the skin that produces an allergic reaction from
dogs and the saliva of cats. Unless a geneticist is able
to create a cat without allergens in saliva or a dog that
does not secrete allergens from the skin, no pet will be
hypoallergenic.
That isn’t to say choosing a dog that sheds less may
be beneficial, since dander with allergens is generally

SUDOKU
Fun By The Numbers
Like puzzles? Then you’ll love sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle
will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen
your pencil and put your sudoku savvy to the test.
Here’s How It Works:
Sudoku puzzles are
formatted as a 9x9
grid, broken down
into nine 3x3 boxes.
To solve a sudoku, the numbers
1 through 9 must
fill each row, column and box. Each
number can appear
only once in each
row, column and
box. You can figure out the order in
which the numbers
will appear by using
the numeric clues
already provided in
the boxes. The more
numbers you name,
the easier it gets to
solve the puzzle!

WOMEN AND SOCIAL SECURITY
By Brenda Brown
Social Security Public Affairs Specialist
in Fayetteville, NC
March is Women’s History Month.
The Social Security program treats all workers — men and
women — exactly the same in terms of the benefits they
can receive. But women may want to familiarize themselves
with what the program means to them in their particular
circumstances. Understanding the benefits may mean the
difference between living more comfortably versus just
getting by in retirement.
One of the most significant things women need to
remember about Social Security is the importance of promptly reporting a name change.
If you haven’t told us of a name change, your W-2 may not match the information in Social
Security’s records and this could affect the amount of your future benefits. Not changing
your name with Social Security also can delay your federal income tax refund. To report
a name change, please fill out an Application for a Social Security Card (Form SS-5). You
can get the form by visiting www.socialsecurity.gov, or any Social Security office or card
center, or by calling Social Security’s toll-free number, 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-3250778). You must show us certain identity documents, including one recently issued to
prove your legal name change.
If expanding your family is in your plans, it’s a good idea to apply for a Social Security
number for your baby in the hospital, at the same time that you apply for your baby’s birth
certificate. Social Security will mail the card to you. If you wait, you must then separately
provide evidence of your child’s age, identity, and U.S. citizenship status, as well as proof
of your identity. Then, we must verify your child’s birth record, which can add 12 weeks to
the time it takes to issue a card.
When women start receiving Social Security retirement or disability benefits, other family
members may be eligible for payments as well. For example, benefits can be paid to a
husband:
•
If he is age 62 or older; or
•
At any age, if he is caring for your child (the child must be younger than 16 or
disabled and receiving Social Security benefits on your record).
Benefits also can be paid to unmarried children if they are:
•
Younger than age 18;
•
Between 18 and 19 years old, but in elementary or secondary school as full-time
students; or
•
Age 18 or older and severely disabled (the disability must have started before
age 22).
The family of a woman who dies may be eligible for survivors benefits based on her work.

Every Woman Should Know (SSA Publication No. 05-10127) or visit our special Women’s

Chamber Chat
With Janna Bass
I have the honor to be a full scholarship participant in
the 23rd North Carolina Rural Center’s, REDI Program.
REDI, Rural Economic Development Institute, is a
program designed to “equip rural leaders to be catalysts
for positive change in rural communities. The program
offers a comprehensive model of rural economic
development in which gains are equitably shared across
the community. The program shows how, through
inclusive planning processes, diverse groups can
combine their multiple strengths and complementary
perspectives to create a common future based on
sustainable growth”, as stated by the NC Rural Center.
Last Wednesday through Friday, I had the opportunity to be in Raleigh for the first 3
of our 9 sessions. Over the first three sessions, as a group, we explored each attitude
and definition about economic development and leadership development, major
social and economic conditions and trends that define rural North Carolina, the
Building Blocks of Economic Development and so much more. While I wish I had the
time and space to discuss each aspect that we studied over the first three sessions,
there is one point that I knew but had not truly explored. As we were discussing
the 4 building blocks of economic development, I realized, regardless of one’s
profession, age, culture, hobbies, etc.- we are all a part of economic development
for Sampson County.
The Four Basic “Building Blocks” for Economic Development consists of: Business
Development, Workforce Development, Physical Infrastructure, and Social & Civic
Infrastructure.
Business Development is about creating and sustaining profitable enterprises
that provide quality jobs in rural North Carolina. A quality job is categorized as
one that provides compensation in the form of wages, salaries, or benefits that
are acceptable for employees, their families, and their community in a working
environment that is safe, challenging, and fair. Second, we discussed Workforce
Development which consists of two major goals: providing the knowledge, skills,
and supports that enable individual workers to reach their potential and support
their families and two, build a skilled labor force that meets the needs of employers
and the economy. The third building block we discussed was Physical Infrastructure,
which is the tangible foundation required for economic development. The building
block includes transportation systems, water and sewer distribution, collection
and treatment systems, solid waste facilities, energy systems such as natural gas,
electricity, and telecommunications capacity. Lastly, we discussed Civic and Social
Infrastructure which refers to the way a community provides for meeting basic
needs and the way it includes and enables its diverse groups to participate in the
process of economic, social, cultural, and political development.
While I did not go in depth for any of these building blocks, the concept reiterated
to me that each of us play a huge role in the economic development, whether
purposefully or not. Each manager or business owner assists with Business
Development. The school systems, Community College, teachers, mentors, and
each person that has a positive impact in others’ lives to help prepare them for
their future is a part of Workforce Development. For Physical Infrastructure, each
business and employee that assists with building buildings, working on water lines,
providing energy and more is involved with economic development. Lastly, civic and
social infrastructure consists of each social group, civic club, volunteer, faith based
organization, recreation and others, again, each a part economic development.
Therefore, as you go forward each day, I encourage you to understand how your
everyday life and involvement affects and assist with economic development in
Sampson County. Ask yourself, how can I continue to leave an economic footprint.
Get involved with the programs and events that have such impact because
together, we can make a difference. If we can be of assistance to you, your business,
or organization, please visit www.clintonsampsonchamber.org or give us a call at
