of Beer/Wine on Sunday
At the September Garland Board of
Commissioners meeting, citizens
of the town of Garland showed
up in large numbers to voice their
opinions concerning the sale of
beer/unfortified wine on Sunday.
Even though most in attendance
seemed to be in opposition, commissioners passed the ordinance
with a 4-1 vote in favor. Commissioner Denise Toler voted in opposition to the proposal.
The new ordinance will repeal Sec.
6-2-26 of the 1980 Code of Ordinances that states, “It shall be unlawful for any person to sell or offer
for retail sale within the town any
beer or wine from 1:00pm on Sunday until 7:00am on the following
Monday.”
Garland resident Gene Hart speaks in opposition
to Sunday beer/wine sales.
The new ordinance states, “The Board of Commissioners of the Town of Garland desires to repeal
any prior Resolution or Ordinance adopted by the Board of Commissioners prohibiting the sale of
beer and wine on Sunday and to allow the lawful retail sale of malt beverages and unfortified wine
from 12:00 noon on Sunday until 2:00am the following Monday.
Ten citizens signed up to voice their opinions in favor and in opposition of the repeal with well
over a hundred citizens in the audience. First to speak was Mr. Rog- BEER ON SUNDAY, see P3
Kyle’s Farm
Fun in Southern Sampson County
This will be the 2nd year that Kyle and
Blake Smith open Kyle’s Farm for fun in
the southern end of Sampson County. In a
time when many young men are looking
to leave the farm, the Smith brothers
from Harrells are actually encouraging
others to take pride and have respect for
an American Staple, the Farmer. Kyle
says, “The big motivational factor to
start Kyle’s Farm was to educate younger
generations, as well as people that didn’t
grow up on a farm, on the importance
of agriculture then and now in today’s
society.”
“No matter what, farming will always
be needed; then, now, and forever. Our
business will help show the people how
Blake and Kyle Smith, owners
much work is involved and the joy one
of Kyle’s Farm
gets from growing their own crops.” That
business will include of course a working farm, but will also offer fun for the whole family. “…
our goal is to educate the people who may not know about the importance of agriculture, and for those
that do we want them to appreciate what the farmer does for them. We take this as a big role to teach
the people a little and also have fun as well.”
The fun starts September 22nd at 4:00 PM. Wood-cooked BBQ and hotdogs will great those attending,
and new this year on the farm will be: A Tractor Hay Fort, Kiddie Sorghum Maze, Duck Race,
Tube Swing. And returning from last year’s farm will be the popular Corn Maze, Corn Hole, Kyle’s
Farm Stables, Barrel Train, Hay ride, Super Slide, Pumpkin Sling-shot, corn pit, and an even scarier
Haunted Acres.

Sampson County
History Museum
Excited About New Donation
Now On Exhibit
David King shows off new gun donated to history
museum by county.
At the September Sampson County Board of Commissioner’s meeting,
commissioners voted to donate seven firearms/weapons to the Sampson County History Museum. The weapons, according to Finance Manager David Clack, had been in the vault as long as he could remember
and the manager’s office was not sure where they originally came from.
The weapons included a range in age from 1918 to a Modern CapChur rifle. Makes included: 1918 German ERFURT rifle; 1898 model US
Springfield Krag Bolt Action; 1873 model US Springfield 45-70 Cal. rifle;
1200 model Winchester 12 gauge; S&W Harrington & Richardson Arms
pistol and holster; and 2 Cap-Chur dart guns.
According to David King, President of the Sampson County History Museum, “These weapons have been stored in the county vault for years.
Some were believed to have been in the courthouse display back in
the 1950’s.” King continued to explain that he had discovered through
some friends that had seen inside the county vault, that these weapons
were inside, long since forgotten about. He started inquiring about the
possibility of the county donating the weapons to the only plausible
place, the Sampson County History Museum.
King stated, “We do not know for a fact if any of these weapons were
used by any person from Sampson County or in any wars. However,
some of the rifles were the same type used by General Custer in the
1800’s. Actually one of the rifles, the Krag model 1898 rifle was the first
smokeless powder repeating firearm adopted by the United States.”
“The impact this donation has on the museum is great. Some of these
weapons are rare and need to be displayed in a proper place such as a
museum. We are thankful to the county for the gracious donation. The
county works hand and hand with the museum, helping to make our
museum one of the largest of its kind in our state. It attracts people
from all over the state and country. No one leaves the museum disappointed.”
The History Museum is currently in the process of making proper display cases for the guns that will be housed in the Law Enforcement Museum and in the Cabin Museum.
To view the newly donated pieces, visit the Sampson County History
Museum located on 313 Lisbon Street in Clinton. Hours are Tuesday –
Saturday from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
The Sampson County History Museum is intended for promotion
and understanding of the historical and material culture of Sampson
County and its unique heritage. Through collections and historical interpretation, this museum promises to encourage visitors and citizens to
explore pages from the past; to reflect as they search through their own
lives and their place in history; and to preserve local history for generations to come.

Abandoned Homes- Roseboro Pro-Active
by asking, “What are the procedures for having
these homes declared Unsafe and a Health
Issue?” Attorney Poole restated the procedures
as, “The County will have to inspect the structures
and deem them unsafe to the safety and health of
the community.”
At Tuesday night’s Roseboro Board of
Commissioners meeting, Katherine Pare, a
new resident of Roseboro, spoke before the
commissioners about her concerns surrounding
two abandoned homes within her block.
Ms. Pare explained, “One home located at
301 Park St and the other home located at the
corner of S. Pearl and E. Howard St. have been
abandoned for many years, the windows have all
been busted out and the doors are open. There
appears to be mattresses on the floors of the 301
Park St home.”
Commissioner Hall spoke up and said, “There
may be a quicker way to accomplish boarding up
the 301 Park St property. The property owner tells
me he is going to tear it down. I will make contact
with him and see if the owner will board it up and I
will get back with the board and let you know what
I find out.”
Pare stated that she was concerned about

and for putting yourself in harm’s way. We are allowed
to celebrate our heritage because of the sacrifices you
have made for us and our nation.”
The 43rd Annual Coharie POW WOW was held
Saturday September 7th and 8th at the Coharie Tribal
Center located on Hwy 421 north of Clinton. The hot
temperatures were not enough to keep large crowds
from around the state gathering, both Friday evening
and Saturday, to honor and remember the heritage of
the Coharie Indian nation.
During Saturday’s ceremony young and old were
dressed in their finest traditional outfits for the Grand
Entrance. They were led into the arena by a Color
Guard, with Alex Brewington carrying the Coharie
Tribal Staff, Coral Brewington with the POW Flag,
Andrea Goodman carrying The North Carolina Flag
and Eric Brewington the Stars and Stripes. Following
the Color Guard was Tribal Chief Gene Jacobs and
Tiny Tots
the Elders, followed by men, women, children and
dancers.
As a tradition at the annual Coharie POW WOW, all
veterans were honored by being led into the arena for
recognition of their service to our country. JD Moore
stated, “We thank you for your service to our country
A special presentation was held by Chief Jacobs as he
passed an eagle feather to Alex Brewington, stating,
“Alex, I was presented this feather more than 35 years
ago. It is worn and tattered. I am now passing it to
you. You are a leader and you will be a future chief.
See the wear in the feather, I ask you to carry it with
pride.” Chief Jacobs next presented a feather to Gary
Pallin from Supply North Carolina. Chief Jacobs
continued, “Gary Pallin, carry this feather with pride.”
The last presentation went to WWII veteran, 89 year
old Elmer Carter, who he thanked for a life of sacrifice
and service to his nation and his people. “Elmer may
the Great Spirit always be with you.”
BEER ON SUNDAY cont. from P1
ers Clark, President of Handee Hugo and Sampson Bladen Oil
Company. Handee Hugo is currently in the process of building a
new convenient store and Subway on 701 in Garland. Mr. Clark
commented, “I am certain in my heart that the world would be
better if there was no alcohol in it. You can back as far as the Old
Testament and there was alcohol back then. It’s the charge of this
Council to look after its people and after their business. Alcohol is being sold now and it is being sold on Sunday afternoon.
However it is not being sold in Garland on Sunday afternoon
which means you are exporting these dollars and customers out
of Garland to Elizabethtown, Roseboro, or Clinton to purchase
their alcohol on Sunday afternoon and people are going to drink
on Sunday afternoon, if they drink. So what I am saying to you
is that I think it is unfair to the citizens of Garland, the town and
the taxpayers of Garland. That is the way that I would look at it
if I had to vote on it. I believe it should be voted in.”
Mr. Marty Tew, pastor of Garland Pentecostal Free Will Baptist Church spoke on behalf of his large congregation that was
present. “I want to stand up against the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday. You can go back and look at the history of
these so called Blue Laws and we can look back through history and find in the commandments “To keep the Sabbath Day
Holy” and many Christian organizations over the years have
recognized Sunday as a special day of worship and these laws
were put in place to recognize the Lord’s Day and every day is
the Lord’s Day. The argument has been made in favor of allowing
the sale of alcohol on Sunday because of revenue. I think that
is backwards thinking. The scripture says, ‘Blessed is the nation
whose God is the Lord.’ I think we could say Blessed is the state,
Blessed is the county, and Blessed is the town who God is their
Lord. The way to prosperity and blessings is to put God first and
that goes for our town. Since I have been here for the last 4 and
a half years, the gambling establishments have been allowed to
come in. I think to allow alcoholic beverage sales on Sunday
would be another step in the wrong direction of a downward
moral slide. The argument has been made that people going to
the lake on Sunday when they stop to buy their beer, they are
upset because they can’t buy it. Well, let them know that there
is one place in Sampson County that does not go the same way
as the rest of the world and still honors the Lord’s Day. Let the
choices that we make and the choices that the town of Garland
make honor the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.”
Gene Hart, former principle and SC School board member
spoke out in opposition of the sale of beer/wine on Sunday stating, “I want to thank you for the opportunity to address this issue. I am opposed to the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday.
If I had my choice, I would say that I was opposed to it period.
If you will go home tonight and look at your Bible in Exodus the
16th chapter, when the children of Israel were being brought in
from Egypt to the promise land, God said to gather their Manna
fresh each day, enough to supply you for that day. On the sixth
day, gather enough for the Sabbath and it would not spoil. He
told them to honor the Sabbath by not working and I believe we
should honor the Sabbath by not selling alcohol. I have heard

someone say that we are in need of tax revenue but I hope we
are not going to be looking for tax revenue at the expense of
younger people who we need to be setting an example for. I have
also heard that the merchants in town want it because of that
extra revenue but what about all the other people in town that
don’t want it, which far exceed the number of merchants, who
have spent their entire lives in this town. We need to consider
those wishes too.”
that has in the center of its town a marker for its Veterans that
fought and died for the freedoms that I enjoy and the freedoms
that you enjoy. To deny that same solider when he came through
the town, if he did not have the same moral feelings about alcohol
to stop and buy it. Would I do it, NO. It is his right as an American. We need to let the church do their job and let the government do their job. I personally want you guys as the government
to stay out of my business as a church.
Mrs. MaryAnn Johnson stated in opposition, “For anyone that
wants to drink on Sunday, let them plan ahead. Just because
other towns are doing it, does not justify that we should do it.
This is one thing that makes our town unique-it stands out from
others. Make a stand for something that is right and do not allow
the sale of alcohol on Sunday. Do not let the love of the almighty
dollar rule your decision. Our rewards will come in other opportune ways.”
Mr. Register continued by remembering his brother whom he
stated had died as a direct result of alcohol, “Was killed in an
alcoholic brawl.” He stated this his brother had spent 26 months
in Vietnam fighting for the rights of every citizen of this country
to have the freedoms to do what they thought was right and not
have the beliefs of others forced down their throats. “These same
ones that will cry out in November ‘we don’t want the government to be involved in our lives, we need less government,’ yet
will stand here tonight and say to you as the government ‘do our
job for us so we won’t have to worry about converting the folks
over at our church. Because the truth of the matter is if we do our
job as a church, we won’t have to worry about beer and wine sales
on Sunday because there won’t be anybody to buy it.”
Garland citizen Sally Cannady stated, “You cannot be on both
sides of the fence. Either you’re for God or against him, which
are you? Let’s do what’s right and vote it out.”
Remarks were made in favor concerning the repeal that it would
prevent bootleggers and cut down on drinking and driving
when people have to drive long distances to get their beer and
wine on Sunday.
Several in favor of the repeal included Randolph Smith and Arthur Williams. Mr. Smith remarked, “I have heard a lot about
scripture and a lot about church; a lot more of that than I have
heard about beer sales. I am a firm believer in separation of
Church and State on any level. I think the board’s sole purpose
should be to promote the economic development for the town of
Garland. Mr. Clark is making a huge investment out here and I
think it is not fair for him or his company to keep us in the 20th
century because of someone’s personal or religious beliefs. I am
fine with religion, but I don’t think it should run our board or
government on any level.”
Tim Register commented, “I have a different take on the real
matter that is before the town board and I don’t think it has
anything to do with revenue for the town of Garland. As so
many people have said tonight, it is a religious matter. It would
be presumptive of me for me to stand before you, even though
I am a Baptist minister and don’t speak for my church, to tell
you that I know the truth for you. Just because I may believe
that the consumption of alcohol or the sale of alcohol is wrong,
that does not mean it is wrong for my Episcopalian Christian
brother. It doesn’t mean it is wrong for my Christian Catholic
brother or any other religious denomination that does not hold
my same view. What this issue is about is about religious freedom. There is perhaps no other issue that has divided religious
groups more than the issue of alcohol. It is time that we as the
church stop passing off our responsibility to convince our members and members of our community of what is right and wrong
and expect the government to make laws to set morality. I do not
believe that is the case and it would be ashamed to me for a town

Mayor Winifred Murphy remarked to the large crowd of citizens,
“Thank you for being here and expressing your view points. It
is the commissioner’s time to think about all that you have said
and make decisions that will impact all of Garland’s citizens. We
certainly value your comments. Decisions have to be made based
on what is in the best interest of the town of Garland.”
Murphy then called out to commissioners to remember the state
of Garland’s finances and economic conditions. “In 2011 out tax
collection rate was 94%, compared to statewide (97.2%) we were
down. “ She stated that the fund balance available for Garland in
2007 was 32.95%, in 2008 it was 38%, in 2009 dropped to 22.96%,
in 2010 dropped to 19.65%, and 2011 down to 17.64%. It is like a
savings account. It is how much money is left over in case of an
emergency. Garland is very, very low. The state average is 39.53%.
Other towns the size of Garland have fund balances of 113.42%.
We don’t have any money. If we have any kind of major emergencies there is nothing. Everything is aging and this is something
that you have been looking at for the last few months. I seriously
feel that the year 2012 will drop even more. We are trying to get
things on tract. I just want you to look at all the facts, in order to
make an informed decision, you have to look at all the facts and
listen to your public. Look at everything; you have to look at all
pieces of the puzzle.”
Commissioner Ralph Smith made the motion to adopt the ordinance to repeal the prior ordinance to allow the sale of malt
beverages and unfortified wine from 12 noon on Sunday until
2pm the following Monday. The motion was seconded by Haywood Johnson. The motion needed a 2/3 majority vote to be
passed on the first reading which it received with a vote of 4-1;
Commissioners Ralph Smith, Matthew Register, Mike Toler, and
Haywood Johnson all in favor and Commissioner Denise Toler
in opposition.

Jason Faircloth Plays In the Disabled British Open
“As with anything, if it’s important to you,
nerves factor in for a brief moment…and
then it’s just golf and the job at hand. It’s
just like anything else, you’ve prepared for
it.” That’s how Jason Faircloth described
his first tee shot at the 2012 Disabled
British Open played at East Sussex
National Golf Club in England.
Jason, a Sampson County native who
lives near Clinton, was the first American
to play the Disabled British Open (DBO)
when he made the trip last year. This year
Jason finished 28th overall and 2nd in his
flight. But runner-up and 28th in a field of
110 golfers from 15 countries is not why
Jason flew half-way around the world. “I
still have goals I didn’t reach this year. I
wanted to win my flight and I wanted to
finish in the top 20 overall. I have a lot of
work ahead of me; lots of goals both on
and off the course. But for now the clubs
are put away for a couple of weeks.”
be in the best shape to compete. Charles
Ray Knowles has helped me with that
part this year and I do thank him for this.”
Jason Faircloth Prepares to Tee-off at the Disabled British Open at East Sussex National
Golf Club in England.
and confidence. I am not finish yet. I made a commitment
to play as long as I think I can compete and get better.”
East Sussex National Golf Club is a challenging
championship course set in historic Sussex County,
England. As the host course of this year’s Disabled
British Open, East Sussex National presents a daunting
task for any golfer because the Robert E. Cupp course
was designed with challenging golf in mind. The course
has played host to two European Open Championships
and some of the world’s top golfers including, Nick
Faldo, Ernie Els, Vijay Singh, Nick Price and John Daly.
Jason graduated from Lakewood High School in 1998,
where he played golf for 4 years. He states that he has
always been a competitor and still enjoys baseball, tennis
and basketball. At 33 years old Jason is reaching an age
when many people start to slow down a bit, but as he
states it, he is still “very active and competitive”. And
while many people allow obstacles to slow them down,
Jason doesn’t let Cerebral Palsy limit him at all.
“As competitors, we always dream about being on a
national stage, and this tournament is as big as it gets in
golf,” Faircloth states. “Not many people will ever get to
play in the UK (home of golf), and not many will play in
a tournament with cameras rolling. It was an opportunity
that not many people will ever have and I am thankful
for the committee for coming up with this tournament.
The DBO has giving me a renewed sense of direction
Jason laughs as he says, “I’m not sure the CP has had any
effect with my schooling. I took regular classes, didn’t
study, and passed tests.” He goes on to say, “I played golf
at Lakewood and had many friends in school. As far as
golf limitations, of course I am unable to get the club in
the proper position to hit it out there like the pros do, but
then again 95% of golfers can’t either. So I don’t really
worry about that a whole lot. I just work out and just try to
“Dragons in the Path”
To Take The Stage
This Weekend
On September 14-16 at
the Sampson Community
Theater, the curtains will rise
on “Dragons in the Path,” a
new play by Justin Lockamy based on the novel “I Knew
3,000 Lunatics” by Dr. Victor R. Small. (The Victor R.
Small house on College Street serves as the home to the
Sampson Arts Council.) “Dragons in the Path” will be
presented by the Old Bluff Theatre Company and directed
by Lucy Lockamy.
The play takes place in a mental hospital in the early
1930s, modeled on Dr. Small’s time and staff at Dorothea
Dix Hospital in Raleigh and an epileptic hospital in Ohio.
It follows the lives of the hospital staff and patients, as
they wrestle with changing professional and personal
fortunes. Despite its 80-year-old setting, the audience will
find much in the play that resonates with society today.
According to Kara Donatelli, Sampson County Arts
Council Director, “80 years ago, Dr. Small’s novel was
first adapted into a play called “All the Living” (in the
1930s), and was presented at the Fulton Theatre in New
York City. We are so proud and excited to bring Dr.
Small’s play to the Sampson Community Theatre in its readapted form!”
The Old Bluff Theatre Company was created in 2011 when
Lucy Lockamy was awarded a Regional Artist Support
Grant from the North Carolina Arts Council. “It was a
long-time dream of mine to start a theatre company, and the
grant really helped jumpstart that process. The Old Bluff
Theatre Co. is committed to producing thought-provoking,
powerful theatre in Clinton, North Carolina, and dedicated
to highlighting the talents of local artists. “Like” us on
Facebook to keep updated on upcoming shows and events.”
According to director Lucy Lockamy, “The cast comprises
thirteen local actors, both veterans and newcomers to the
stage. Clay Boney plays Dr. Virgil Gilbert, a young and
tireless doctor who also happens to be hopelessly in love.
Nurse Stalling, his sweetheart is a no-nonsense, hardworking woman, played by Audrey Whetten. The two,
however, must keep their relationship secret. Nicholas
Ziolkowski assumes the role of Dr. Henry Fisher, a new
and self-assured doctor at the hospital, who undergoes a
series of struggles, both inner and outer, including one with
patient Hazel Webb, played by Alison Bradshaw. The cast

Faircloth credits his parents, Hicks and
Mylinda Faircloth, for his ability to
cope so well with an obstacle that many
others might stumble over. “We handled
it probably the best we could have. Mom
and Dad kept every single doctor’s
appointment; lots of physical therapy in
Fayetteville, Clinton and UNC Chapel
Hill.” Faircloth goes on to say that his
biggest obstacle has actually come from
people and not his disability. “Most
people have a stigma about people with
disabilities. Unfortunately it’s not a good
stigma either. Lack of knowledge and
education is a big factor in all of this. I
hope I have helped people understand
a little more about what we can do if
giving an opportunity.”
“We all face obstacles in life; it’s just part of life that
makes you who you are. It molds us to make us a stronger
and better person.” Jason goes on to say, “For me it took
lot of guts, a little stubbornness and a hard head to get
to where I am. It took all three and I’m proud of that.
For the young people who are reading this, my lesson for
you would be to never underestimate what you can do.
Move those people out of the way who get in the way,
and laugh at those people who didn’t give you a chance.
These things will go a long way to living a fun fulfilling
life.”
Jason concluded, “I would like to thank all of the people
who have supported me the last two years…most of these
people have been with me throughout my life. Lakewood,
Timberlake, and Coharie Golf Club, the people at
Immanuel Baptist Church, Fear Systems (Charles Ray
Knowles) and my boss Jeffrey Spell. I cannot thank you
enough.”
is rounded out by stellar performances by Justin Lockamy,
who plays the stern hospital Superintendent; Felesia
Buczynski, who plays the effervescent patient Martha
Washington Gardy; Kevin Kiernan, who portrays the
larger-than-life Governor; and B.J. Lockamy, who is Kate
Selks, a humorous, fiery patient. Gary Wayne Melvin, as
patient Gimme Hickle, Ashley Hartsoe, Shekinah King,
Steve Hylan, and Bruce Creech also grace the stage as
other patients, doctors, and nurses.”
“For the inaugural show of my new theatre company,”
states Lockamy, “I wanted to produce a show that would
really draw people in and involve as many local people,
organizations, ideas, etc. as I could. So I teamed up with
the Sampson Arts Council to help produce the play. I had
my husband Justin, a local attorney, write the script, which
featured a plot originated by a local figure, Dr. Small. So
in other words, I wanted to focus on the soul of Sampson
County, and that is what I did.”
The show will run from September 14 - 16 at the Sampson
Community Theatre. The show times are 7.30 pm on
Friday, 7.30 pm on Saturday, and 2.30 pm on Sunday.
Tickets are $8 for students and seniors and $10 for general
admission. The Sampson Arts Council is also hosting a
reception showcasing Dr. Small memorabilia and history
on Thursday, Sept. 13 from 5.30 - 7.30.
“Dragons In The Path” is intended for adults and older
teenagers. This play is supported by the North Carolina
Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Cultural
Resources, with additional funding from local arts councils
in Cumberland, Moore, New Hanover and Robeson
counties.

That discovery led to the arrest of Michael Jenkins on 3
Bennett says that another method of target selection for
scammers is called Affinity Fraud. This occurs when someone
uses a commonality with others to prey upon them. Bennett cites
an example where a “soccer dad” used the occasion of
soccer games to befriend and make associations with other
parents to later defraud them. Affinity Fraud can happen
within any group such as religious affiliation, ethnic
communities, or members of other identifiable groups.
The fraudsters who promote affinity scams are frequently
members of the group or pretend to be members of the
group, and often will enlist other respected members in
the group to unknowingly assist in the fraud.
Bennett says that these scammers will use the commonality
of a group to make others feel more comfortable with
them. Once someone feels they have something in
common with someone else, they are more likely to feel
a sense of connection, and are more likely to drop their
guard. Bennett goes on to say that unfortunately the most
common occasion for affinity fraud is within faith-based
communities.
Another growing issue in securities investment and fraud
is the use of the internet. Bennett says that the recent
ZeekRewards scam by another North Carolina resident
used both affinity fraud techniques and the internet to
promote a classic ponzi scheme. Bennett explains that in
cases like these the scammer will target someone looking
for an investment opportunity. Once they secure an
investor they will use money from new investors to pay
dividends to original investors. The original investors,
having received a dividend will then unwittingly lure new
investors by telling their friends and family about their
good fortune. The Ponzi scheme often has the appearance
of even greater credibility because it uses the internet.
Websites often give a scam artist a look of legitimacy and
dupe others into a feeling of security.

McIntyre Holds Business
and Economic Development Summit
Washington, D.C. -- U.S. Representative Mike McIntyre
just held an business and economic summit that
approximately 150 key business leaders and Chambers
of Commerce officials from Eastern North Carolina
attended. The “Taking Care of Business” summit was on
September 10-11 in the nation’s capital. Approximately
300 business leaders from all over North Carolina
participated in the summit to discuss key economic issues
for our state.
Congressman Mike McIntyre, General James F.
Amos, Commandant of the U.S. Marine Corps,
and The Reverend Patrick J. Conroy, Chaplain of the U.S. House of Representatives at
the “Taking Care of Business” Summit. Reverend Conroy delivered the opening prayer at
the summit and reflected on the lives lost on
September 11. General Amos spoke about the
importance of the Marine Corps to North Carolina and our nation. McIntyre hosted this business and economic summit for business leaders and Chamber of Commerce officials from
all across North Carolina.

on the North Carolina business climate, economic
opportunities, and sound business practices. Participants
then heard informational briefs from North Carolina U.S.
Representatives.
Speakers at the seminar on Tuesday the 11th included:
General James F. Amos (Commandant of the U.S.
Marine Corps), John Boehner (Speaker of the U.S.
House), Joel Klein (Former Chancellor of the New York
City Department of Education), J.C. Watts (Former

(Acting Secretary of Commerce), and Congressman

Representative McIntyre said, “We are doing all we can
to promote jobs, help small business, advance workforce
development and economic development improvements!
This was an important opportunity to have local business
leaders and Chamber officials in Washington to gather
information and offer input to public policy officials. The
resources, contacts, and information that these businesses
and individuals gathered will assist all of Eastern North
Carolina.”
This is Representative McIntyre’s sixteenth annual
summit. Joining him as co-hosts for the event are his North

Bethany PFWB Remembers 9-11
On Tuesday 9-11-12, members of the Bethany PFWB
Church came together for a special service called by Pastor
Charles Ray Jernigan, “A Call to Prayer”. Approximately
100 people came and shared as they remembered the lives
that were lost on that eventful day. The service opened with
praise and worship led by Tyler Jernigan. Rev. Jernigan
talked with the congregation about 911 meaning “trouble”.
However, he shared from the Bible several scriptures
Genesis 9:11 which offers Assurance; Jeremiah 9:11
which offers deliverance; Job 9:11 assurance of God’s
Presence; Psalm 91:1 which represents refuge/safety; 2
Corinthians 9:11 meaning Provision and most importantly,
Hebrews 9:11 representing Salvation. A touching video
was shown with the song “God Bless the USA” playing in
the background. The service ended with the congregation
around the altar praying for our Nation, Leaders and our
Churches.
Reverend Jernigan stated, “It is important that people

The Raleigh Report
From the Office of
Representative Larry M. Bell
The General Assembly continues to move closer to the 2013
session and I have been busy preparing for our return by
meeting with constituents and interest groups here at home
and in Raleigh. My focus remains job creation and economic
development and the required systems such as education and
infrastructure improvements needed to support our economy.
I welcome your ideas about how we can put people back to
work in our community, even as more of our teachers and other
vital public servants continued to be fired as a result of the
misplaced priorities of the majority party in Raleigh. Our state’s
unemployment rate remains the fifth-worst in the nation under
their leadership.
This week, I wanted to share some of the new laws that will go
into place Oct. 1, many of which I supported. These laws will
improve public safety in our state.
Thank you for your interest in state government. Please contact
me if I can be of assistance to you or your family.
Public Safety
forget the feeling of togetherness everyone felt immediately
in the days that followed. I think it heightened the awareness
of how quickly disaster can come hidden behind the invisible
enemy of terror.”
Kelly Boyette, a member of Bethany remarked, “9-11, the day
that my father called me after years of not speaking and the
beginning of healing for our relationship. It reminds me that
all grudges are petty and life is too short and loss can come
in the blink of an eye. My prayer for the Country is that all
Christians will be bold and spread the word more than ever
to win as many as possible because I believe the end is truly
near. I was encouraged by the service and was eager to look
up more “9/11” scriptures.”
Allyson DeMay commented, “9-11 reminds me that you
never know what tomorrow holds and how important it is to
let the people that we love know that we love them every day.
I pray that our government would be humble, turn to God and
realize that we can only flourish through Him and that all the
glory belongs to Him anyway.”
_ The General Assembly modernized its emergency management
laws (HB 843) this past year, laying out the responsibilities of the
governor and local authorities in the event of an emergency or
disaster. The law also includes prohibitions against price-gouging
and details what steps officials are permitted to take in the case of
an emergency.
_ Motorists must now attempt to move over a lane on the roads so
that workers in highway maintenance vehicles and utility vehicles
who are working beside the road can operate safely. Previously the
law only required motorists to move over for public safety vehicles,
such as police cars or ambulances. (HB 345)
_ Street gangs and the property on which they operate can now be
declared public nuisances under a new law (HB 673) approved this
year.
_ The Metal Theft Prevention Act (HB 199) strengthens laws against
the theft of precious metals by requiring permits for purchasers
of certain metals and making it a specific crime to harm property
during the theft of precious metals.
_ The names and addresses of minors involved in school bus crashes
can now only be disclosed to the public in certain circumstances.
(SB 227)
_ A new law creates the crime of unlawfully selling, surrendering
or purchasing a minor. The law also requires the North Carolina
Conference Of District Attorneys to study what other measures may
be needed to stop this type of crime. (SB 910)
_ A wide-ranging law approved this past session creates a new first-
Pastor Jernigan, Bethany PFWB
degree trespass offense. The law (SB 141) also requires the
Department Of Public Safety to continue to assist offenders
trying to successfully reenter society and gives local crime
labs and certain forensic scientists more time to obtain
accreditation and certification.
_ Probation violators who abscond or try to avoid arrest will
no longer be eligible for public assistance until they surrender
to the courts. (HB 1173)
Miscellaneous
_ Our nation this week marked the 11th anniversary since the
terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. I continue to stand
behind the members of our military who were called upon to
defend our country after that attack and my thoughts remain
with the victims and their families.
_ Next week is Constitution Week, a commemoration of
our nation’s founding document. Activities will be planned
across the state. For more information, contact your local
chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.

Psalms for the Soul
The Bible speaks to us but the Psalms speak for us. Job was a
man who certainly knew trouble and temptation and yet he boldly
claimed, “Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.” That is commitment. Psalm 37:4-5 says, “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he
shall give you the desires of your heart, commit your way unto the
Lord; trust also in him, and he shall bring it to pass.” Unwavering
commitment to trust the Lord in all situations is a cornerstone of
unshakable faith. It is easy to be distracted by circumstances and allow
them to dictate our emotions. But if
that is the case, then when life is good,
we are happy; when times are tough,
we are frustrated; and when hardships
pours in, we are miserable and looking
for escape. The unchanging Lord and
Savior is committed to caring for you in
all circumstances and will never leave
or forsake you. Do not let the stresses
of the day steal your Psalm. Contact

Have I Got A Story To Share With You!
by Debra Joy Wallace
A dog-tired Dakota Red Wallace (Red-Bone)
Her question came out of the blue. It was a simple question,
yet so unexpected that it totally caught me by surprise.
Speechless, I simply stared at her for a few moments
as I tried to gather my thoughts. Moments earlier my
Christian friend had listened intently as I shared with her
how newspapers in WV, KY, SC, GA, and TN as well as
numerous newspapers throughout NC are now publishing
my stories/column.
In an attempt to change the subject and thereby avoid
answering her question, I began chatting away about
various and mostly insignificant topics. However, my
friend was much too wise for this strategic maneuver of
mine. With a pleasant smile on her face, she listened as
nervously I chatted away… and then… she slowly and
deliberately repeated her question, “Debra, do you ever get
weary in fighting the good fight of faith?”
Seeing the genuine concern in my friend’s eyes and
knowing she had a purpose for asking the question, (we
pray for each other’s needs) I replied, “Yes. I do get weary.
As a matter of fact, I feel dog-tired today. And to say
otherwise would be a lie.
Readers, “Do you ever get weary in fighting the good fight
of faith?” If so, are you getting enough sleep? The reason
I ask is because I’ve learned that I’m much more inclined to
spiritual and physical weariness when I’ve not had adequate
sleep. And that’s the main reason why in the past couple of
weeks I’ve been sleeping at least four hours per day. And
this is quite an accomplishment for someone like me, who
often ‘gets by’ for weeks at a time on only a couple of hours
of sleep per day (as my family can vouch). So readers I
recommend that if you’re one to ‘get by’ on as little sleep
as possible…make some changes starting today so that your
body can get sufficient sleep and rest. Likewise, I encourage
you to recharge yourself spiritually by drawing near to God
and immersing yourself in His presence during prayer, in
readying His word, and by praising and worshiping Him.
We in ourselves are weak; and that’s why it is of utmost
importance that we wait upon God, and receive His strength,
so that we might continue to do the work He has called us
to do.
And as far as being dog-tired…let’s leave that for the dogs.
“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come
to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll
show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work
with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms
of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and
lightly.”—Matthew 11:28-30 [The Message]
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper
time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.—Galatians
6:9 [NIV]
Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners,
so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.—Hebrews
12:3 [NIV]
Wait and hope for and expect the Lord; be brave and of
good courage and let your heart be stout and enduring. Yes,
wait for and hope for and expect the Lord.—Psalm 27:14
[Amplified]
Why would you ever complain, O Jacob, or, whine, Israel,
saying, “GOD has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what
happens to me”? Don’t you know anything? Haven’t you
been listening? GOD doesn’t come and go. God lasts.
He’s Creator of all you can see or imagine. He doesn’t get
tired out, doesn’t pause to catch his breath. And he knows
everything, inside and out. He energizes those who get tired,
Listen to Abigail
Sitting with the text in I Samuel 25, we are told of
David’s desert experiences just prior to the fulfillment
of God’s divine purpose in life. He and his men
camped on land owned by a rich man named Nabal;
and while there they protected his flock from thieves
and wild animals. After they had eaten most of their
food supply, David sent a few of his men to ask
Nabal for food. However, instead of being kind and
hospitable Nabal was rude and refused to give them
anything to eat.
Upon hearing the report, David became enraged with
Nabal for refusing to show generosity toward his men.
Without one minute of hesitation, David gathered his
posse; and with swords in hand 400 men followed
him to avenge Nabal’s disrespectful actions. In the
heat of the moment, David lost sight of the big picture.
He wanted to handle the situation himself! Had it not
been for wise counsel from Nabal’s wife, Abigail, he
may have done something he would have regretted
later. At times when you want to take matters into
your own hands, stop yourself. Count to ten, sing,
do something to distract yourself. Wait for Godly

After the death of Moses the servant of GOD, GOD spoke
to Joshua, Moses’ assistant: Moses my servant is dead.
Get going. Cross this Jordan River, you and all the people.
Cross to the country I’m giving to the People of Israel.
I’m giving you every square inch of the land you set your
foot on—just as I promised Moses. From the wilderness
and this Lebanon east to the Great River, the Euphrates
River—all the Hittite country—and then west to the Great
Sea. It’s all yours. All your life, no one will be able to hold
out against you. In the same way I was with Moses, I’ll
be with you. I won’t give up on you; I won’t leave you.
Strength! Courage! You are going to lead this people to
inherit the land that I promised to give their ancestors. Give
it everything you have, heart and soul. Make sure you carry
out The Revelation that Moses commanded you, every bit
of it. Don’t get off track, either left or right, so as to make
sure you get to where you’re going. And don’t for a minute
let this Book of The Revelation be out of mind. Ponder
and meditate on it day and night, making sure you practice
everything written in it. Then you’ll get where you’re
going; then you’ll succeed. Haven’t I commanded you?
Strength! Courage! Don’t be timid; don’t get discouraged.
GOD, your God, is with you every step you take.—Joshua
1:1-9 [The Message]
because you have a Nabal somewhere around you
doesn’t mean you have to act like one. Listen to
Coach Abigail. Practice godliness; and keep your
head in the game!
1 Samuel 25: 23b-26 – Please let your servant
speak to you; hear what your servant has to
say. May my lord pay no attention to that
wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name
–his name is Fool, and folly goes with him. …
Know since the Lord has kept you, my master
from bloodshed and from avenging yourself
with your own hands, as surely as the Lord
lives and as you live, may your enemies and all
who intend to harm my master be like Nabal.
Have you ever done something that you wish you
hadn’t done? Have you ever wanted to take revenge
for an insult and just as you were preparing to attack,
an Abigail showed up? Rats! Anger is an important
emotion and can be good when it incites within us a
‘holy’ enthusiasm to seek justice for those who have
been treated unfairly or who have no voice; however,
when we unleash on others it can also lead to other
types of destructive behaviors. Impulsive reactions
can strike a tragic blow to all that God has purposed
for us to be –and to do, but Godly intervention can
keep us from losing our witness – from serving a
death sentence upon someone else. If it were not
for the grace of God that intervenes on our behalf
every second of the day, who knows what trouble or
heartache our unbridled emotions can cause.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, please forgive us for the
times we have not practiced Holy Anger Management,
have not listen to wise counsel, and have reacted
to others in an unholy rage. Help us to control our
emotions in a way that will honor you and show your
love; and when we have been hurt or angered by the
actions of others, help us to handle the situation with
dignity and to trust you for our healing comfort. Amen.

from November 9-11
and 16-18. The production is directed by Sandra Clifton, a veteran of
the SCT stage. Sandra
last appeared in “It’s a

Choplifter HD demo
ESRB: T (Teen)
Many moons ago, there
was a game put out by
Sega called Choplifter,
although it was not the
original Choplifter game,
it is the one I remember
most. The graphics were
horrible
compared
to
today’s standards, but the
fun in piloting a helicopter,
rescuing hostages, and
blowing up the bad guys
along the way is fun
regardless of the era.
That remains true today
and InXile Entertainment
has recaptured the fun
of blowing stuff up and
rescuing people with a
helicopter, and it looks
great now.
The newest Choplifter has
players doing more than
merely rescuing people
while shooting tanks and
airplanes.
There are
at
SCT
endars for a night of big
singing and bigger laughs
as this talented cast performs for you.
Our 4th production, “The
Carol Burnett Show,” has
come to a close and we
had many nights of laughter in the theatre. The
variety of cast members
and scenes from the actual TV show were enjoyed by hundreds, and
we are proud of the cast
and director, G. Wayne
Melvin’s, efforts in making
this a wonderful production.
Auditions for our final
show of the season, “A
Christmas Carol,” will be
held Saturday, October 20
at 10 am. This audition is
open to all ages and there
are multiple roles to cast.
This is the perfect opportunity for you to perform
with your entire family.
What a wonderful way to
secondary
objectives
in each mission, a big
variety of helicopters
for players to upgrade
to, different types of
enemies, from soldiers
to tanks and planes,
to even zombies. Yes,
you even have some
missions requiring you
to rid the terrain of
hundreds of walking
undead zombies. Be
careful while landing
close to zombies to
rescue survivors, or you
may find yourself wildly
shaking your helicopter
to throw zombies off that
have latched on to your
machine. Add to that
global leaderboards that
allow you to compare
your piloting skills with
the rest of the world,
and this is a game that
is sure to bring hours of
entertainment.
You may want to turn
the volume down as
bring in the holidays with
a production that your
whole family can participate in! The show dates
for “A Christmas Carol”
are November 30-December 2 and December
7-9. “A Christmas Carol”
is proudly sponsored by

directed by Dan Holland.

and remember you can always find us on Facebook

with you on these social
networks!
Thanks for supporting the
arts in Sampson County
and as theatre folks would
say “break a leg!”
Written by - Angela Martin
you are enjoying the
hours of fun as the
commentary from your copilot becomes an endless
parade of dry one-liners
and catchphrases as you
are constantly reminded
that you have enemies
ahead, although you can
clearly see them and are
probably already shooting
at them by the time your
co-pilot points them out
to you. It’s a pretty minor
complaint as the game is
very well made on most
other fronts.
The demo only allows
the player the privilege
of playing the first few
missions, but from what
I’ve seen so far this is
shaping up to be a very
good game. It is available
on the Xbox 360 and
PS3 as arcade games in
each consoles’ respective
online store.
Its $10
price tag is more than
reasonable although it
did start out at $15 which
is a bit of a stretch in my
opinion. If you’re looking
for a good arcade game to
pass a few hours with, this
may be a good option.

Packing Tips
n
n
n
Tables at established
campgrounds or parks
can get pretty grungy.
Bring a plastic tablecloth
with you and secure it
with duct tape so it
doesn’t blow away. Or,
pack some cloth napkins
that can do double duty
as placemats wherever
you decide to picnic.
Just because you’re
roughing it, doesn’t mean
you can’t add a little
panache to your portable
feast. For extra impact,
serve foods on nonbreakable plastic ware
in an array of vibrant
colors.
Packing wine bottles
for a picnic or camping
trip can be cumbersome.
To avoid breakage and
lighten your load, opt
for a three liter wine box
with its own pouring
spout. It holds the equivalent of four standard
size (750 ml) bottles,
making it an environmentally-friendly wine
choice that’s easier to
transport and serve by
the glass. Learn more at

On August 31, 2012, Mintz Christian
Academy hosted Grandparent’s Day. On
this day, the kindergarten through fifth
grade students had their grandparents
come to see the program called “Jesus,
Name Above All Names”. The musical
program was wonderful and was followed
by a guest speaker, Mr. Tony Walters. After the program, grandparents visited the
classrooms, had their pictures taken, and
ate lunch with their grandchildren. After the kids enjoyed lunch with their grandparents, everyone went outside to see the winner of the fundraiser called “Pucker Up.”
The teacher with the most money in his jar had to kiss a pig. That day Mr. Crawford
was the lucky winner! After Mr. Crawford kissed the pig, everyone went to the front
of the school to watch a balloon release. Grandparent’s Day was a lot of fun.

HEALTH
DHHS Reports Five Cases of West Nile Virus in North Carolina
Residents Urged to Take Precautions to Prevent Exposure
The N.C. Department
of Health and Human
Services reports that
as of August 29, five
cases of West Nile virus,
including two deaths,
have been reported in
our state.
Confirmed
cases have been reported
in Cabarrus, Forsyth,
Mecklenburg, Scotland
and Wayne counties.
State Health Director Laura Gerald urges residents and visitors
to take precautions to prevent mosquito-borne illness,
including regular use of insect repellant and eliminating
potential breeding sites around homes and businesses.
“While the Division of Public Health has only confirmed cases
of West Nile in these five counties, we want to encourage
everyone to protect themselves, especially at this time of year,
when mosquitoes are most active,” Dr. Gerald said. “West Nile,
and other mosquito-borne illness, can occur in any county in
North Carolina.”
Gerald added that about 80 percent of people infected with
West Nile, or four out of five, will not show any symptoms at
all. Approximately 1 in 5 people who are infected with West
Nile virus will develop symptoms such as fever, headache,
body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Less
than 1 percent will develop a serious neurologic illness such
as encephalitis or meningitis (inflammation of the brain or
surrounding tissues).
As of August 28, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control reports
that 48 states have reported West Nile virus infections in
people, birds, or mosquitoes. A total of 1,590 cases of West
Nile virus disease in people, including 66 deaths, have been
reported to CDC.
What is West Nile virus? West Nile virus is one of several
mosquito-borne viruses in the United States that can
infect people. The virus exists in nature primarily through a
transmission cycle involving mosquitoes and birds. Mosquitoes
become infected with West Nile virus (WNV) when they feed on
infected birds.
What are the symptoms of West Nile virus infection? The vast
majority of people that become infected with the West Nile
virus have no illness or experience only a mild flu-like illness
that includes fever, headache and body aches lasting only a few
days. Some persons may also have a mild rash or swollen lymph
glands. Less than one percent of those infected may develop
meningitis or encephalitis, the most severe forms of the
disease, which occurs primarily in persons over 50 years of age.
Symptoms of encephalitis or meningitis may include severe
headache, high fever, neck stiffness, stupor, disorientation,
tremors, convulsions, paralysis, coma and sometimes, death.
What can you do to protect yourself? The best way to protect
yourself is to keep mosquitoes from biting you. During
mosquito season (generally April through October), take the
following precautions: •Limit outdoor activities between dusk
and dawn, if possible, since this is the time of greatest mosquito
activity
•If you are outside when mosquitoes are prevalent, wear
protective clothing such as long pants, long-sleeved shirts and
socks.
•Use a mosquito repellant that contains DEET (the chemical
N-N-diethyl-meta-toluamide) and follow the directions on the
label.
What can I do around my home to help reduce exposure to
mosquitoes? To reduce mosquito populations around your
home and neighborhood, get rid of standing water where
mosquitoes can breed. Weeds, tall grass and bushes also
provide an outdoor home for mosquitoes. Any container with
over ½ inch of standing water for 5 – 7 days can hatch out
mosquitoes. You can take the following simple steps to reduce
breeding sites for mosquitoes:
•Dispose of, regularly empty, or turn over any water holding
containers on your property such as tires, cans, flower pots, or
trashcans.
•Drill holes in the bottom of recycling containers that are left
outdoors.
•Make sure roof gutters drain properly and water doesn’t stand
in them.
•Change the water in birdbaths at least once a week.
•Turn over plastic wading pools and wheelbarrows when not
in use.
•Keep swimming pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs clean
and properly chlorinated; remove standing water from pool
covers.
•Eliminate any standing water that collects on your property.
•Remind or help neighbors to eliminate mosquito breeding
sites.
•Fix any holes in your screens and make sure they are tightly
attached.

Bathroom Remodels That Look Like A Million Bucks - For $1,000 Or Less
The average cost of a bathroom remodel
tops $16,500, according to Remodeling
Magazine’s Cost vs. Value report. But
you don’t have to spend the average to
achieve above-average results when it
comes to updating a bathroom.
Generally, people renovate or remodel
bathrooms for two main reasons: to
boost their home’s resale value, and to
enhance their own enjoyment of the
room. A bathroom renovation yields a
62 percent return on investment at the
time of resale, Remodeling Magazine’s
report indicates. How much more will
you enjoy that ROI – and the improved
livability of your bath – if your initial
investment was just $1,000, rather than
tens of thousands?
Fortunately, the bathroom is one room
in the house where you can accomplish
a lot with $1,000. Here are four updates
and upgrades that cost less than 10 Ben Franklins, but can
leave you feeling like a million bucks when you step into
your new bath.
1. Redo walls and floors
The key to bringing this job in under $1,000 is to do the work
yourself. The actual materials – paint for the walls and tile,
stone or vinyl for the floor – can be purchased for a relatively
low cost. By doing the work yourself, you avoid high labor
charges. Most bathrooms require only a gallon or two of
paint, so you can easily stay on budget even if you purchase
a high-end brand. It’s also possible to find plenty of costeffective flooring options, from luxury materials like marble
to more economical ones such as ceramic tile or vinyl. After
the materials, your second biggest investment for this project
will be the time it takes to learn how to do the job right.
Fortunately, you’ll find plenty of educational material online
and many home improvement stores even offer free classes
Cracked, chipped ceramic tile or an
old, stained shower enclosure can
make your bathroom look tired,
dated and dirty. Replacing the shower
enclosure can give the room a whole
new look. Plus, if you only have a
tub and would like to add a shower,
an enclosure is a fast, easy and costeffective way to achieve your goal.
Or if a tub doesn’t suit your design
and lifestyle needs, you can replace it
with a shower enclosure.
Products like Sterling Ensemble
Curve shower enclosures are sized to
fit standard 5-foot bath alcove spaces,
and installation doesn’t require you
to move the drain location. Replacing
a tub with an enclosure makes for
a spacious, luxurious showering
experience. The Sterling products
start for less than $700.
in how to lay new floors.
2. Switch out the shower door
After the walls and floor, the shower door is probably the
third largest surface – and design element – in your bathroom.
Unless your home was custom-built, chances are your
shower door is bland and basic, albeit functional. Replacing
a plain shower door with one that features a design, pattern or
frosting can add personal flair to a bathroom. Manufacturers
like Sterling offer a variety of shower doors that are both
beautiful and functional, including patterned shower doors.
In addition, Sterling’s frameless doors feature the company’s
trademarked ClearCoat technology, which creates a barrier
between the water and glass to keep the door looking pristine
and new. Prices vary depending on the style of door you
choose, but you’ll find many budget-friendly options.
3. Swap out the shower enclosure
4. Update fixtures
Few bathroom upgrades have a greater impact on efficiency
and beauty the way changing fixtures can. Whether you opt
for a low-flow showerhead or a high-efficiency toilet that
requires less water to flush, replacing older fixtures can
update the look of a bathroom and yield long-term savings on
utility bills. With abundant color, shape and design options
in everything from commodes to sinks, faucets to shower
controls, it’s possible to find fixtures that suit every design
taste – and price point. Smart shoppers can find budgetfriendly options that will allow them to replace more than
one item, giving a bathroom a fresh look and feel.
Virtually any upgrade you make in a bathroom can enhance
the value – and your enjoyment – of the space. Fortunately,
with some do-it-yourself savvy and the right products, you
can make your bathroom look and feel like a million dollars
without spending a bundle.
Easy Ways To Boost Home Value
Though the housing
market might not be
booming, there are still
buyers out there looking
for a place to call their
own. Some potential
sellers might prefer a
patient
approach
to
selling
their
homes,
choosing to do so when
the market rebounds
and homes regain some
of their lost value. Other
sellers might not have a
choice and must make
due with selling in a
lackluster market.
a lush lawn and wellmanicured trees, it’s hard
to ignore that For Sale sign
out front. If landscaping
has proven an Achilles’
heel in the past, make an
effort to take better care
of your property in the
months ahead. It doesn’t
take long for even the most
neglected lawn to rebound
from disrepair. By the time
you feel confident to put
that for sale sign out front,
you might just be putting it
up in a lush lawn no buyer
can resist.
Regardless of which
category you’re in, there
are easy ways to boost
your
home’s
value.
Making minor changes to
a home can add to your
asking price, whether
you’re putting your home
on the market this week
or waiting for the market
to rebound. The following
tasks might not take
much effort, but they pay
dividends.
* Upgrade appliances.
Prospective buyers won’t
be thrilled if they walk into
a home and see outdated
appliances. Some might
even feel older appliances
indicate a homeowner
who cared little about
appearances and might
begin to wonder if there are
any additional areas that
might have been neglected
around
the
house.
Stainless steel appliances
in the kitchen and even new
fixtures in the bathroom
are aesthetically appealing
and tend to excite buyers.
Homeowners who aren’t
immediately putting their
* Work on the yard. An
appealing lawn is still
a great way to catch a
prospective buyer’s eye.
When a home boasts
property up for sale can
gradually upgrade their
appliances to lessen some
of the financial toll such
purchases take.
* Replace the carpet. A
clean carpet might make
a world of difference to a
home’s inhabitants, but a
new carpet will be more
appealing to prospective
buyers. Choose a neutraltoned carpet that will boast
a more universal appeal.
* Paint the home. A fresh
coat of paint or new siding
is always attractive to
prospective buyers. If your
home hasn’t had a new
coat of paint in awhile that
might make buyers feel the
home is musty or old. Many
buyers judge a book by
its cover, and sellers want
their home’s exterior to be
as attractive as possible.
Homeowners can also
paint rooms inside the
home to give it a fresh and
welcoming feel.
* Clean up around the
house. A cluttered house
will almost certainly repel
buyers. Buyers want a home
that’s roomy and well kept,

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!

IF 2013 IS YOUR LUCKY YEAR
TO RETIRE, PREPARE NOW
By Brenda Brown
Social Security Public Affairs Specialist

Chamber Member of the Week
Do you plan to begin receiving Social Security retirement
benefits early in 2013? If so, now is the time to prepare.
We recommend you apply up to four months before you want
your retirement benefits to begin.
These days, you no longer need to travel to an office or wait in line to apply for
benefits. You can do it from your home or office computer. The Social Security
website at www.socialsecurity.gov makes the process easy and convenient.
You can complete your application for retirement benefits in as little as 15 minutes.
In most cases, after you submit your online application electronically, that’s all you
have to do. You’re done. There are no forms to sign or additional paperwork to
complete. In rare cases where we need additional information, a representative will
contact you.
Not ready to retire yet? Perhaps you want to plan ahead and begin considering your
options regarding when to retire. In that case, you’ll want to visit Social Security’s
website to use our convenient and informative retirement planner at www.
socialsecurity.gov/retire2. Here you can find out just how close you are to meeting
your financial goals and then “bookmark” the website to apply for retirement benefits
whenever you are ready.
We encourage people at any stage in their working career to use the Retirement
Estimator for an instant, personalized estimate of future retirement benefits. Find it
at www.socialsecurity.gov/estimator.
Remember that you’re always first in line when you go online, to www.socialsecurity.
gov.
Here is to a lucky 2013. If you’re planning to retire and begin receiving Social
Security benefits in January, start the year off right by applying online now for Social
Security benefits.

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your

choose”. Dr. Seuss
This past week was filled with expanding our
knowledge and challenging ourselves in order to
“steer” ourselves in the direction, the direction where
the vision of the Chamber and Sampson County is prominent in our day to day
journey.
This past Sunday through Tuesday I had the privilege to travel with 13 others
from Sampson County in our mission to be the voice and represent Chamber
Members in Washington D.C.. We were able to hear from a panel of North Carolina
business owners about their advancements, opportunities, and challenges. The
Chamber and Sampson County is honored that one of those panelist, was from
Sampson County, Jerol Kivett from Kivett’s in Clinton. Mr. Kivett did a great job
representing all Sampson County businesses, discussing what is needed from
our leaders in Washington in order to create economic growth. We also were
able to network and listen to our North Carolina US Representatives including
our district leaders of Representative Renee Elmers and Representative Mike
McIntyre. The following day we heard from General James F. Amos, Senator
Kay Hagan, Representative John Boehner, and other leaders, again discussing
the opportunities in advancement but also the challenges each business,
organization, and individual faces on a day to day basis. I am excited to share
more with you about our journey in Washington D.C. soon.
As you know, the Chamber takes pride in our involvement with the community
and excited that the third annual Chamber Coat Closet project is coming into
place. This past Wednesday, the committee met to continue to discuss how we
can help those in need. We are currently receiving sponsors through 5:00 p.m.
Friday, September 28, 2012. Sponsorship opportunities are available at three
levels and receive recognition throughout the event on all marketing materials
including social media marketing, radio, newspaper, billboards, and more.
Contact the Chamber to sponsor the Chamber Coat Closet at 910.592.6177
We invite you to take the challenge and join with us as we steer in the direction
to continue to assist others. We will be collecting new and gently used/cleaned
coats in all sizes for infants to adults. The collection will begin on November 1st
with a Collection Kick-Off Event at Clinton City Market from 12:00 noon to 6:00
p.m. filled with local entertainment. Join us in this journey where your donation
will help someone in Sampson County and surrounding counties stay warm this
winter.
As we continue to expand our knowledge about other businesses and
organizations within Sampson County as well as grow each individual’s network,
we invited all Chamber Members to join us last night, Thursday, September
13th at our Business After Hours and our New Member Showcase hosted by
V.F. W. Post 7547 in Clinton. We have had 42 new members since last year’s
showcase in which each new member had the opportunity to have an area to
display promotional materials as well as speak to the group in order to highlight
their business/organization. The evening was filled with networking, door prizes,
appetizers, and creating new relationships in order to grow and expand each
chamber member’s presence within Sampson County. Thank you to all of our
members for attending last night and letting the Chamber work for you.
If you would like more information about the chamber, the educational and
networking opportunities we offer, membership, and how the chamber can work for
you, give us a call, 592.6177 or visit our website, www.clintonsampsonchamber.
