Battle of Bentonville Site Recalls Civil War Era

Leading the charge, literally, is the Battle of Bentonville. From March 19-21, 1865, the Confederate Army mounted what would be its last full-scale, tactical offensive in the largest battle fought in North Carolina. While the Confederates failed to stop Gen. William T. Sherman, their efforts over that three-day period bring visitors to the site every year for reenactments, reunions and other events

commemorating the battle. The site is also part of North Carolina Historic Sites, a program of 27 sites around the state that highlights various aspects of its history.

Tobacco Farm Life Museum Recalls Area’s Agricultural Roots

Many of those soldiers went on to be farmers, and even today tobacco growing is synonymous with North Carolina. While many are now raising other crops, the cultural tapestry created by tobacco here is celebrated at the Tobacco Farm Life Museum in Kenly.

The museum is a combination of modern facilities and a restored, early 20th century farmstead. A

4,000-square-foot gallery showcases eastern North Carolina farm life; the remainder of the facility is given over to permanent and rotating exhibits on everything from Southern medicine to social life. Permanent exhibits include Cultivating Minds, a look at education in rural North Carolina; From Chores to Church, which explores textile manufacture and use in this part of the state; Community Caregivers, a tribute to the rural doctors who served many vital roles in small communities; and The Tobacco Warehouse, which explores the buying and selling of tobacco and the industry surrounding the golden leaf after it left the farm.

Out on the property, the farmstead features a smokehouse, log tobacco barn, milk shed and more in a

Johnston County heritage Center, benson Museum of Local history keep Local Lore Alive

All this and more is revisited at the Johnston County Heritage Center, which acts to preserve all aspects of the county’s history and culture.

The center was formed in 1997 as a department of the county government, and is operated by the county and an 18-member commission. It opened in 2000, in the renovated former First Citizens Bank in downtown Smithfield, and has exhibit space, artifact storage and, as its centerpiece, the Johnston County Room, a varied and compre-hensive collection of local history and genealogy.

Preserving all things local is the mission of the Benson Museum of Local History as well. The museum, established in 1987, features a collection of railroad memorabilia, antiques and quilts, as well as a diverse and growing array of farming and hardware artifacts. The museum’s pictorial and newspaper collection, at its new downtown Main Street location, chronicles the lives and events of significant local families.

Lifelong learning is more than a catchphrase in Johnston County, where the youngest citizens are set on a high-

quality educational path that leads them through elementary and high school to college and beyond.

Partnership for Children Aids Johnston County’s youngest

The county’s youngest learners benefit from the programs run by the Partnership for Children of Johnston County. It administers state Smart Start

and More at Four funds for the county, and also actively solicits private donations to provide additional programs and services for families and young children.

“We understand that our young children are a big piece of the economic development of the community,” says Dwight Morris, executive director. “Children who arrive at school prepared are much better students, and they eventually will be a more effective and more productive workforce.”

That preparation includes playtime and social interaction as well as

learning, and so the partnership’s current f lagship project is building an inclusive playground that will include a “miracle field” ballfield and play area for children with special needs.

Johnston County Schools opens new Facilities, Posts Top Scores

When these young people head into Johnston County Schools’ classrooms, their educational enrichment continues. The district has more than 32,000 students in 44 schools, including two brand-new high schools, says

Terri Sessoms, public information officer.

“We continue to be in the top 20 percent of the state in terms of student performance,” Sessoms says. “Our SAT scores are at 1022, which is eight points above the national average, and 14 points above the state average.”

neuse Charter School Focuses on international Studies

Academics are just as rigorous at the Neuse Charter School, the county’s first charter learning center. Neuse serves students in grades K-8, and offers an international-studies focus. Neuse Charter School is a free public school,

and works to keep class size around 20 students.

Johnston Community College Expands to Meet growing Enrollment

Local graduates don’t have to cross the county’s borders for an outstanding college education either.

Johnston Community College posted a record 4,183 students in fall 2010, and it continues to offer quality training in facilities like the 12 specialized labs in the new 23,800-square-foot addition to the Health Science Building. It also is putting the finishing touches on the new Learning Resource Center, a 33,000-square-foot facility that will

house the college’s library and distance-education programs and is the college’s first LEED-certified building.

JCC also has received a $200,000 grant from the Golden LEAF Foundation to begin development of a virtual hospital on campus, a facility that will work with both students and the college’s regional health-care partners.

“Johnston Community College is growing by leaps and bounds, and we are doing our absolute best to accommodate the needs of our unprecedented number of students during a climate of declining resources,” says Dr. David Johnson, president.

In recent years, Johnston County has stepped up its efforts to bring in new businesses while also helping its existing companies

grow. As a result, the local economy is emerging from the recent national downturn more robust and diverse than ever.

Talecris biotherapeutics, becton, dickinson Add to biotech Sector

Local economic development officials have high-end biotech firms on their radar, most recently helping to grow Talecris Biotherapeutics, which develops and manufactures critical-care treatments for individuals with life-threatening disorders. The firm, which will expand its manufacturing facilities near Clayton, will invest almost $270 million over the next seven

Custom Assemblies, inc. in pine level has more than 20 years of experience in the medical manufacturing industry.


years. The plant expansion will create at least 259 new jobs, with an average annual salary of around $51,000.

Talecris benefits from the nearby Johnston County College Workforce Development Center, which trains biotech workers for the firm. The company will receive a $3.66 million Job Development Investment Grant from the state if it meets job-creation targets, and another $250,000 from the One North Carolina Fund if local governments provide matching funds.

Another medical technology firm, Becton, Dickinson and Co., also has tapped Johnston County on the shoulder. It will build its East Coast distribution center in Four Oaks, a $38 million facility that’s expected to

hire 187 workers beginning in 2012. Becton, Dickinson, which develops, manufactures and sells medical supplies and devices, is the first company to move into Four Oaks’ new 400-acre industrial park, and it also will receive state grants if it meets job-creation and investment targets.

northeast Foods, SonA, Pgi Showcase diverse new investments

All those workers will need to be fed, and if they want a Big Mac they’ll be glad to know that Northeast Foods Inc., a Maryland-based supplier of hamburger buns to McDonald’s, is building a new $25.4 million bakery in Clayton. The facility will create 84 jobs

at the outset, and will serve two Golden State Foods distribution centers in Garner and Lexington, S.C. The One North Carolina Fund was a factor in Northeast’s decision to locate here, according to company officials, as it will provide $350,000 in incentives. Northeast’s new workers can expect a starting salary of almost $42,000 a year, nearly $10,000 more than the county’s current $31,000 average annual wage.

In Selma, the SONA Group is expanding its facility. The company, formerly a division of ThyssenKrupp Technologies, has hired 40 new employees since October 2009. Now known as SONA BLW Precision Forge, the company says it will need at least 30 more hourly and salaried positions once

the expansion is complete. Expansion is also the order of the day at Polymer Group Inc. in Benson, which plans to invest up to $20 million in new nonwoven-product manufacturing equipment at its facility. The Benson site employees almost 300 people, and the new machinery will update and modernize the operation, making those jobs much more secure in a competitive industry.

Add the ongoing improvements and enhancements at such thriving local employers as Carolina Electronic Assemblers; Custom Assemblies, Inc.; Novo Nordisk and others, and it’s easy to see why businesses are looking at – and coming to – Johnston County to grow.

leading the WayprogrAM Continues to grooM leAders

kelly Wallace says several recent Leadership Johnston graduates

have volunteered to join the board of directors at Boys & Girls Clubs of Johnston County.

Wallace, director of operations with the Greater Smithfield-Selma Area Chamber of Commerce as well as facilitator with Leadership Johnston,

says the program not only helps participants become better leaders, but encourages graduates to become civically involved with their community.

“This program also allows participants to meet people they don’t already know from across the county, and they often form strong bonds,” she says. “Many become lifelong

friends, business partners and associates once they graduate.”

Leadership Johnston annually welcomes 20 participants, who meet in all-day sessions once a month from October through May and attend one weekend retreat. The day sessions occur on the first Wednesday of each month.

The mission is for participants to become better leaders in the workplace, and learn what they can do to better their community through volunteerism and perhaps even holding public office some day. The program is sponsored by the Johnston County Association of Chambers, which includes the individual chambers of Greater Smithfield-Selma, Benson, Clayton, Four Oaks, Greater Cleveland and Kenly. Johnston Community College is also part of the program.

“Our participants often come from companies that have identified people who have leadership potential, or a company might choose someone new to the community,” Wallace says. “We get a lot of bankers, financial advisors, real estate agents, school system officials, people involved with nonprofits and small-business owners. Individuals as young as 20 years old have been in the class.”

The monthly sessions feature expert speakers as well as field trips to various sites throughout the county.

“One month might highlight education, the next month health care, then local government … and participants hear from leaders of organizations, companies and public service groups,” Wallace says. “Speakers might talk about obstacles they’ve overcome, climbing the corporate ladder, and issues they had to address personally and in their professional lives.”

“Leadership Johnston also conducts a personality profile early in the program so that specific areas can be addressed to help a person become a good professional and community leader,” Wallace says. “This program builds our community’s future by building leaders.”

local flavor

sure, Johnston county has plenty to brag about when it comes to food. And these days, that menu’s more well-rounded than ever.

eastern Carolina barbecue brings ’em in from far and wide, and for good reason. The Pound Cake Co. has put Benson on the radar of dessert-lovers everywhere, while Johnston County hams take the county’s name into kitchens and dining rooms around the world.

here at home, local meat-and-threes serve up those products with side orders of vegetables that are as hot a commodity as the meats and desserts they complement.

agritOurism, pick-yOur-OWn OperatiOns grOWing

Agriculture has long been a mainstay of Johnston

County’s economy, and these days many farmers are

not only selling their crops at local farmers markets

like Clayton’s, they’re also opening their fields to a

growing number of citizens who want to pick their

own produce. Throw in some hayrides, add a few

seasonal lectures and workshops on healthier living,

and you’ve got a revamped local industry that

boosts the economy while also trimming waistlines.
