Janelle Clevinger
Janelle is the executive director of the Mental Health Association in Wilson County. (Please - no jokes about that one!)
She is the mother of one 7-year-old autistic boy (who continues to amaze her every day with his hard work, accomplishments and daggone cuteness) and a 5-year-old daughter who continues her reign as household diva.
Janelle is a graduate of the University of North Carolina's School of Journalism and misses the beauty and atmosphere of Chapel Hill. We won't tell you what year she graduated, but suffice it to say that they went to class via horseback and computers were unheard of then. Go Heels!
Her hobbies are learning everything she can about autism and autism therapies, keeping in touch with friends (old and new), horseback riding, photography, and not cleaning her house. Her musical tastes run from The Blue Nile to Josh Groban to Vivaldi. Comedy (and laughing in general) is her favorite medicine, but also she feels a great deal of gratitude toward the makers of Xanax.

Dr. Cameron Matthews
"Cameron and his beautiful wife, Rosie, moved to Rocky Mount in July, 2007. He began teaching political science courses at North Carolina Wesleyan College that August, just months after defending his doctoral dissertation, "The Fortunes of a President: Timing and Skill in Presidential Success". Dr. Matthews also has advanced degrees in both political science and public administration. He's a die-hard Denver Broncos fan and a long suffering Dodger and Astros fan. He has two cats, Meg and Addicus, as well as two dogs, Sirius (a lab-chow mix) and Fang (a Boxer-Great Dane mix). All were rescues."

Megan Hinkle
Megan is the Public Affairs Manager for the city of Rocky Mount. She co-hosts "The Spotlight" on Friday mornings. People often mistake her for Ally Sheedy. That's "Saint Elmo's Fire" Ally Sheedy, not "Breakfast Club" Ally Sheedy.
It took about a year of DP's prodding to get her to watch "My Cousin Vinnie." She is alarmed by anyone who has to ask what a "grit" is.
During her spare time, Megan likes to break out the old clarinet or bass drum from her high school band days just to see if she still "has it."
