Sampsonians respond in a big way It has been said that the things we have in common are far greater than the differences that often separate us.
That is never truer than when one looks at the way this community gives back to those who are less fortunate. No matter the cause, Sampsonians respond, and they respond in a big way.
Last weekend’s U.S. Postal Service-led Stamp Out Hunger campaign is the latest in a string of examples we could use of that giving.
On Saturday, ...

Recycling success Recycling fever has caught on in the city of Clinton, and the growing participation rate can mean nothing but good things for the environment.
The city’s recycling program has gone through its share of growing pains over the past few years, but this latest effort has the mark of success written all over it, and that’s thanks to the hard work of city staff, including public works director Jeff Vreugdenhil, and the hundreds of residents who a...
The power of prayer It was a wonderful sight to behold Thursday as people from every walk of life came together, held hands, bowed their heads and lifted their hearts in prayer, a community pouring out its hopes for healing to a power far greater than themselves.
They came from every denomination and many races — men and women, young and young at heart — forgetting differences to celebrate the now annual National Day of Prayer service held in downtown Clinton,...
Poor decisions change lives, and often take them In less than a week, two Sampson County residents have had their lives snatched from them at the hands of alleged impaired drivers.
One was a mere 7-year-old; the other 49. Both had much life left to live and, we feel certain, much left to give to family, friends, strangers that perhaps that not yet come in contact with in their short time here on this earth.
Both are tragedies, made sadder because of the possibility that their lives were...
Visit Farmers’ Market often New life is being breathed into the Farmers’ Market, and hopes are high that the venue — and the vendors who will be offering up their products — will find much success at Wednesday’s grand opening, the mark, we hope of great things to come.
But the market’s success can’t happen without residents willing to give it a try, not just this Wednesday, but as often as one is willing to venture to the Lisbon Street site to browse, buy and enjoy — ...
We wish Connet the best It was unexpected — and surprising news — earlier this week when long-time Clinton city manager John Connet announced that he’d be stepping down from his post and moving to the western part of the state to take a similar job in a larger city.
While hard to believe that Connet will be bidding his 11-year job at the city’s managerial helm goodbye, it’s harder still to fathom that he’ll be leaving his beloved Clinton, a place he’s not only cal...
Some things just don’t make sense It’s a tragedy no one can understand — the death of a 7-year-old as she was returning home from school. And it’s a horrific event, witnessed by so many, young and old, that won’t easily slip into the recesses of memories, allowing for the healing that is so desperately needed in the Union district and beyond.
Prayer is needed, for the family; for the 25 or so youngsters aboard the school bus when first-grader Alyiah Morgan was struck down b...
