juana’s medical potential and allows doctors to prescribe it for some patients.

Senate Bill 669, known North Carolina Medical Cannabis Act, would legalize medical marijuana; its primary sponsors are Senators Nickel, Murdock, and Marcus.

Senate Bill 646, known as the Marijuana Justice and Reinvestment Act, would fully legalize weed. The primary sponsors are Senators Chaudhuri, Woodard, and Foushee.

It is also supported by Senators Nickel, Murdock, and Marcus.

Later that day, Brunswick County Republican Senator Bill Rabon, the powerful chairman of the Senate Rules Committee, introduced Senate Bill 711, known as the NC Compassionate Care Act that recognizes marijuana as having medical potential and allowing doctors to prescribe it to patients under certain circumstances. Its primary sponsors also included Republican Senator Michael Lee and Democratic Senator Paul Lowe and is supported by Senators Nickel and Woodward.

An Elon University Poll asked North Carolinians about potential impacts if marijuana were to be legalized. The poll used an online opt-in sample marketplace of 1,455 adult residents of North Carolina and was conducted Jan. 29-31 and was conducted in partnership with The Charlotte Observer, The Durham Herald-Sun, and The Raleigh News & Observer.

The poll’s results showed growing support among North Carolina residents for See MARIJUANA, Page 5A

Downtown KM businesses and property owners

Awning grant available The City of Kings Mountain, with the support of the Kings Mountain Main Street Program, has established a Downtown Awning Grant Program to provide financial assistance to downtown businesses/property owners, located within the established Downtown District, for the purpose of installing new awnings on the exterior of their buildings.

The administration of the Downtown Awning Grant Program is carried out by

the Main Street Department, in accordance with the procedures and guidelines outlined here. The administration and operation of the Grant Program shall conform to all federal, state, and local codes. Funding for Downtown Awning Grants will come from the General Fund of the City of Kings Mountain.

Awning grants will be offered on an ongoing basis each fiscal year (July 1st to June 30th) until all funding

has been expended for that year. Grants are available for up to 50% of the total cost of the improvement project and therefore must be matched at a ratio of 1:1.

One awning grant per business/property owner per visible façade is allowed within a three year period and a tenant must have the property owner’s signed approval of the proposed awning. The amount of the grant fund reimbursement See AWNING, Page 8A

US District Court finds in favor of the Catawba Indian Nation

By Loretta Cozart O n Friday, US District Judge James E. Boasberg ruled in favor of CHIEF BILL HARRIS the Catawba Indian Nation and determined that the taking land into trust for the Catawba Two Kings Casino Resort was done so legally.

In a ruling filled with gambling metaphors, Judge Boasberg wrote, “To the un-

doubted relief of the reader who has made it thus far, the Court is out of gambling metaphors. It will, therefore, simply restate its conclusions once more: Interior did not violate the Settlement Act or IGRA by taking the Kings Mountain parcel into trust for the Catawba; the agency properly applied its IGRA regulations; it did not act arbitrarily by failing to consider the background of Wallace Cheves; Plaintiffs lack standing to press their NHPA claims and those NEPA claims that overlap; and their remaining NEPA

claims fail. The Court will accordingly enter summary judgment on all counts for the Defendants. An Order so stating shall issue this day.”

Judge Boasberg also concluded that: “Interior did not violate the Settlement Act or IGRA [Indian Gaming Regulatory Act] by taking the Kings Mountain parcel into trust for the Catawba; the agency properly applied its IGRA regulations… .”

He further held that “Plaintiffs [EBCI] lack standing to press their NHPA [National Historical See CATAWBA, Page 5A

Spring cleanup time for some downtown business owners

By Loretta Cozart After removal of the trees along Battleground Avenue and Mountain Street, City of Kings Mountain Main Street Program has announced a spring cleanup for some downtown businesses where trees were removed.

The city is making a onetime offer to help clean up the front of their building.

If an awning or front of

a building needs pressure washing, let the city know after getting two estimates for the work. If, after inspection, the Main Street staff agrees that it is a good project, the Main Street Program will pay half of the cost once the work is

complete.

If you awnings need replaced and are beyond cleaning, please be aware that the Main Street Program will pay for half of the cost of replacement, up to $2,000. See Page 1A for more information on the city’s Main Street Awning Grant Program. For grant applications or additional information, contact Main Street Coordinator Christy Adkins at 704-730-2197.

CDC pauses Johnson & Johnson

COVID-19 vaccine As of April 12, more than 6.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (Janssen) vaccine have been administered in the U.S. CDC and FDA are reviewing data involving six reported U.S. cases of a rare and severe type of blood clot in individuals after receiving the J&J vaccine. In these cases, a type of blood clot called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was seen in combination with low levels of blood platelets (thrombocytopenia).

All six cases occurred among women between the ages of 18 and 48, and symptoms occurred 6 to 13 days after vaccination.

Treatment of this specific type of blood clot is different from the treatment that might typically be administered. Usually, an anticoagulant drug called heparin is used to treat blood clots. In this setting,

administration of heparin may be dangerous, and alternative treatments need to be given.

CDC will convene a meeting of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) on Wednesday to further review these cases and assess their potential significance. FDA will review that analysis as it also investigates these cases. Until that process is complete, we are recommending a pause in the use of this vaccine out of an abundance of caution.

This is important, in part, to ensure that the health care provider community is aware of the potential for these adverse events and can plan for proper recognition and management due to the unique treatment required with this type of blood clot.

Right now, these adverse events appear to be

Commissioned by City of Kings Mountain, KM Tourism Development Authority and KMLT Theatre Board of Directors

Hometown Hero Jimmy Wayne to be honored with mural Muralist Scott Nurkin To Begin Work On Kings Mountain’s Historic Joy Performance Center, May 15 Jimmy’s Mural will Mark 10th Stop On The North Carolina Musician Murals Trail The City of Kings Mountain, in partnership with the Tourism Development Authority and the Kings Mountain Little Theatre Board of Directors, have commissioned artist Scott Nurkin, founder of the North Carolina Musician Murals Project, to create a mural honoring hometown hero — author, singer, songwriter, musician — Jimmy Wayne as part of an art installment celebrating art and artists from North Carolina.

Jimmy, who was born in Kings Mountain (Cleveland County), is a former foster kid turned award-winning country recording artist and New York Times bestselling author, whose songs and story highlight his mission to raise awareness for children in foster care.

Scott Neisler, Mayor of Kings Mountain, North Carolina, says, “The City of Kings Mountain is proud to honor Jimmy Wayne with this special mural at the Joy Performance Center. Jimmy’s story, from his birth here in Kings Mountain, to his path to country stardom is remarkable. He deserves to be recognized in his hometown.”

Jimmy shares, “When Mayor Neisler called to share this news with me, I was deeply honored. I hope the mural is a reminder to anyone who sees it, ‘no matter who you are, your dreams can come true — and it’s okay to give God all the credit for your success.”

“Jimmy is a shining example of the power of music; but more than that, he’s never forgotten where he came from and is always giving back,” says Angela Padgett, Special Events Coordinator for the City of Kings Mountain “It’s part of why we’re honored to have his profile grace the Joy Performance Center. As soon as you top the hill on your way into Kings Mountain, you’ll see Scott Nurkin’s rendering of Jimmy. We can’t wait to see it completed.”

Scott Nurkin is no stranger to creating murals to honor

North Carolina musicians. In collaboration with Backdrop, a Raleigh-based consultancy, Nurkin has created nine murals from John Coltrane on the historic Opera House in Hamlet to Earl Scruggs on Newgrass Brewing Co. in Shelby. Jimmy’s mural will be the 10th stop on the North Carolina Musician Murals Trail.

“When I first heard about Jimmy Wayne, I'll admit I was not very familiar with his work,” says Nurkin. “After doing a little digging I found out that he is an incredibly accomplished singer-songwriter with several Top Ten hits. But what impressed me most was learning about his dedication to raising awareness for children in foster care. As a foster kid himself, Jimmy walked halfway across America (from Nashville to Phoenix) to raise awareness for kids aging out of the foster care system. He wrote a movie and a best-selling book dealing with the subject of children in foster care. This is a guy who deserves recognition not for just being an amazing musician but for also being an amazing human being and humanitarian. I'm honored to paint his picture.”

Nurkin will begin work on

Jimmy’s songs and story highlight his mission to raise awareness for these forgotten youth.

Jimmy’s hits include “Stay Gone,” “Paper Angels,” “I Love You This Much” and “Do You Believe Me Now,” which earned BMI’s prestigious Million-Air Award for receiving more than one million radio spins in America.

In 2009, Jimmy toured with Brad Paisley and recorded “Sara Smile” with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame duo Daryl Hall and John Oates.

OPINION

TODAY’S QUOTE:

With self-discipline most anything is possible.

–Theodore Roosevelt

Pieces of Kings Mountain History

As we witness changes coming to downtown in the next six months, take note. Kings LORETTA Mountain has COZART the potential for positive growth, offering a variety of new stores and restaurants for our citizens’ enjoyment. City of Kings Mountain is investing $1.5 million in the streetscape project and owners of the properties will need to invest in their buildings to bring them to current standards so they will be attractive spaces for business owners.

This isn’t Kings Mountain’s first renaissance. A similar reclaiming of properties occurred in 1914 and again in 1945, the year First Mountain National Bank of Kings Mountain expanded upward, adding a second story to their property at Mountain Street and Battleground Avenue. That building has anchored the corner for 76 years and, thanks to its new owner, it will probably last another 100 years.

In 1974, the city demolished several buildings in

the downtown district prior to the town’s centennial.

Several buildings had fallen into disrepair and no longer contributed to commerce in the downtown business district. In just three years, Kings Mountain will celebrate its sesquicentennial, and it is likely that upcoming anniversary has spawned new interest in the area.

Reading a 1914 Kings Mountain Herald newspaper on DigitalNC.com, I learned that G.G. Page was the editor and owner of the paper then; he was quite a character as evidenced by his writing. On the front page of the July 30, 1914 edition, Page reports on improvements downtown in a story titled, “Some Improvements.”

“Kings Mountain can boast of a few nice looking stores. R.R. Houser has painted his café building front and inside and it looks nice and new. Mr. Wm. Putnam’s new brick building which joins the café is a credit to the town and then joining the Putnam building is the handsome new café building of J.R. Reynolds.

The Herald man anticipates no danger of perishing with

so much good eating right in front of the sanctum.”

“Other improvements are being made also. Lots of painting is being done in various parts of town and other new buildings are to go up and repairs to be made on old buildings”.

“The large store of Mauney Brothers will soon have a nice new glass front.

Work will begin at an early date on the rebuilding of the Mauney building that was burned early in the spring.

Mr. W.A. Mauney is erecting two new brick residences.

The interior of the Herald office is undergoing a change and will soon look much better.” From that comment, one could gather the Kings Mountain Herald office was also housed in the Mauney Brothers Store building..

“The Mauney Drug Store has been provided with a metal ceiling and other marks of improvement are in evidence. The Barnes-Finger drug store has had its interior renovated and painted.”

“The folks are wide awake and moving things along. Let’er (sp) roll.”

In the October 15,

Looking Back

In the 50th anniversary edition of the Kings Mountain Herald that ran on March 20, 1939, Haywood Lynch wrote, “More Recognition from Railroad: Herald readers remember our recent account of the new parlor car on the Southern which was christened ‘Kings Mountain.’ Now the Southern proposes to further recognize Kings Mountain by placing in the reading room of the car a leather folder containing photographs of Kings Mountain, Crowders Mountain, and a sketch of the Battle of Kings Mountain, these however to be furnished by the town of Kings Mountain. The matter has been taken up by city council.”

1914 edition of the Herald, Publisher Page reported, “The installing of glass fronts in Mauney Brothers stores is about completed.

These fronts add greatly to the appearance of the stores and when they are properly displayed will be splendid drawing cards for the business. The building is two-story and is well finished. The rooms are large, light, and airy. H. T. Fulton will occupy his old stand.

The side formerly occupied

by J. B. Rhyne has not been engaged.”

As we are witnessing today, change in downtown is continuous. The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said, “Change is the only constant in life.” He was right.

In Kings Mountain, storekeepers occupy certain

After the trees along Battleground Avenue were removed, pieces of our town’s history can be seen again. In the building once occupied by Ditto’s Consignment, you can see a brick in the façade above the display window that reads, “Baker.” No doubt this is a tribute to the man who either built or once occupied the building. Mr. Baker chose to put his name on this building, obviously proud of his accomplishment. In doing so, he also claimed his place in history on Battleground Avenue.

Are you ready to help reclaim downtown Kings Mountain? Just as the city

and property owners are investing in the downtown, so should the citizens. With wider sidewalks, beautiful lighting, and better parking, shoppers will find downtown an attractive place to spend time with friends and do business. Where shoppers go, shopkeepers will migrate. As new shops open, be sure to make a point to visit patronize those businesses and help them grow.

If you want a vibrant downtown, citizens must invest in it just as the city, business, and property owners are doing. When you shop, think Kings Mountain first. It takes everyone doing their part to support the businesses in downtown and, by doing so, making a concerted effort to keep them there.

Kings Mountain’s rich gold history

By Hayne Neisler Today, with the price of gold soaring to over $1,600 per ounce, it's interesting to know that the town of Kings Mountain was once gripped by gold fever. In 1877, a new corporation called Kings

Mountain Mining Company was organized. The purpose of the new corporation was to explore for gold in an area just south of town on York Road near the old city water lake.

Shares of the new mining company were offered to the public for $100 per

share. In the stock prospectus, the organizers informed prospective shareholders that samples of deposits, called tailings, near the proposed mine were mailed to noted geologist. Dr. F.A. Genth who was the chief chemist See HISTORY, Page 5A

PUBLISHER’S PEN

You can Walk Away from hypocrisy

by BILL BOWMAN

It's becoming outright depressing to witness the gross hypocrisy taking place in America and permeating our daily lives. Many of us try to avoid this disorder, but to no avail, falling victim to mass depression, overeating, alcoholism and untimely suicides. It's horrid, devastating, and it's everywhere! Hypocrisy is present at all government levels, our local communities, our educational systems, businesses and even our churches.

With no end in sight, it's spreading unbridled at epidemic proportions.

The sad truth is that here in America, we have only ourselves to blame. Slowly over the decades, we allowed politicians (both Democrat and Republican) to become much too powerful and greedy, allowing subversive and self-serving corruption to prioritize serving their country and the American people with fairness, justice and even humanity. Our entire political system is corrupt and vile. Americans' welfare and safety are no longer a priority or concern of most wealthy and elite elected political operatives. This is evident in law enforcement's weakening and the disregarding our Constitutional rights and the rule of law. Justice is not being served, and it is evident in the neglect we see in addressing many serious issues such as the southern border crisis, the advocacy and defense of criminals over victims' rights, condoning the inhumane treatment of women and children in the hands of known criminals who beat, rape, abuse, and sell them into sexual slavery.

The Americans who support and encourage this despicable and inhumane behavior are not third-world despots.

They are wealthy, fat and arrogant bureaucrats that we elected and are staying in power by changing, manipulating and ignoring the rule of law. These people

CATAWBA From Page 1A Preservation Act] claims and those NEPA [National Environmental Policy Act] claims that overlap; and their remaining NEPA claims fail.”

In the ruling, the judge also confirmed that the Catawba are eligible to open a gaming facility at the Kings Mountain site in accordance with IGRA and that Interior had the authority to take the site into trust status and add it to the Catawba reservation under the Indian Reorganization Act. Following the judge’s decision, the Catawba Nation sent out a press release saying that it “applauds the ruling of the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia that the U.S. Department of the Interior acted properly in taking 17 acres of land into trust status in Cleveland County, North Carolina, for the

are the richest amongst us and can ignore the laws that we have to abide by.

This situation will not have a happy ending for future generations of Americans unless we come to our senses and start calling out those basking in this hypocrisy. I'm talking about regular everyday citizens in our community. The ones that sit on non-profit organizations and advocate for women's rights, protect them from abuse, support right to life or choice agendas, advocate for children, or any of the dozens of social service

programs created to serve the poor and underserved.

These same people actively support the agencies, parties, people responsible for the policies and actions that are causing these atrocious inhumane acts.

Acts that are tearing America apart one Constitutional Article at a time.

Here's my message: In the end, that uneducated child, that sick and infected migrate worker or MS13 gang member or similar undocumented criminal, child molester, rapist, or murderer will suddenly and without notice change your life forever, and not in a good way.

America is in a deep state of denial.

Nothing good is going to come out of our current situation. So, while we collectively romance the criminals, attempt to disarm the innocent, dismantle our laws, embrace and defend policies of inhumanity on the southern border as the Mexican cartel gangsters continue their reign of terror by throwing six-month-

Catawba Nation”.

“This is the right decision and the one we anticipated from the court to reject the litigation of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians,” Catawba Chief Bill Harris said. “We hope this exhaustive review of the facts and emphatic 55-page decision means the Eastern Band will not seek a frivolous appeal and that our two tribes can now work together for the betterment of our people.”

Harris continued: “This decision reaffirms the clear historical record of the Catawba’s ancestral lands and cultural ties in North Carolina and the rigorous process of review undertaken by the U.S. Department of the Interior in taking the land into trust.

The Interior Department righted a historical wrong, allowing the Catawba to achieve the promise of self-determination through economic development.”

To The White Oak Manor Families of Kings Mountain Thanks for welcoming the Queen Harrison family as part of your family 3 years ago.

We have had a loss, but it doesn’t mean that the families of Queen Harrison will forget our families at White Oak Manor in Kings Mountain. You are forever in our prayers and hearts.

We want to thank the past and present staff so much for the strength, kindness and gratitude that was shown to us each and every day. Thanks so so very much.

May God continue to bless you and your families.

HISTORY From Page 4A and geologist at the University of Pennsylvania.

After receiving the samples, Dr. Genth traveled to Kings Mountain and inspected the site of the proposed mine south of Kings Mountain. Dr. Genth stated that is his opinion the mine could reach a depth of one thousand feet and would yield fifty-six thousand seven hundred pounds of ore, which at the current price of five dollars an ounce which would return $283,500.00 to the shareholders.

Another geologist, John Stevenson from the California Bureau of Mines, stated that

MARIJUANA From Page 1A legalizing marijuana for recreational use and continued strong support for medical marijuana legalization in its more recent survey.

Nearly two-thirds of the state’s adults say they do not believe marijuana use is morally wrong and support reducing penalties for marijuana possession, saying that legalization would boost the state’s economy.

The study found that Democrats are more likely to support the legalization of recreational marijuana than Republicans, but Republicans are more evenly divided on the issue between support and opposition.

Fifty-nine percent of Democrats support the legalization of recreational marijuana use while 29 percent oppose it. That is similar to those who belong to neither party, with 57 percent supporting legalization and 27 percent opposing.

In addition, younger residents are more likely to sup-

old babies in the river and throwing three- and five-year-old little girls over a fourteen-foot border wall then running away. You may be curious as to why they would do such a hideous act when they could have walked those youngsters into American through an unguarded opening just a few hundred yards away.

Well, here's why: first, it was an intentional act of hostile aggression by the Mexican cartels who wanted to send a pointed message to America. They intended those children to die from the fall so America would have blood on their hands, giving the anti-border wall folks more talking points.

Second: the cartels were sending us a pointed message that they were in control of the border and had the power and wherewithal to do anything they wanted, including murdering children at will.

Those of you who are reading this and still have control of your conscience but are having trouble sleeping at night may want to know of an organization that feels your pain and anxiety.

This organization professes that if you think you cannot support the kind of policies and hypocrisy taking place in America, they encourage you to WALK AWAY from it. Walk away from the people, policies and politics that conflict with your American values. There is peace of mind when you surround yourself with people who value others' rights, the Constitution, and American values. Color, creed or ethnicity doesn't matter. Everyone is welcome except the hypocrites. Check it out at www.walkawaycampaign.com.

Everyone 16 and older eligible for COVID-19 vaccine Appointments available with Cleveland County Health Department Effective April 7, the NC Department of Health and Human Services announced everyone sixteen (16) and older who wants a safe and effective vaccine is now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine in North Carolina.

The Cleveland County Health Department is currently scheduling first dose appointments for the Pfizer vaccine. The vaccine is free for everyone regardless of income or insurance. No photo ID is necessary and there are currently no residency restrictions. Anyone sixteen (16) and older may schedule an appointment by calling the COVID-19 Vaccine Appointment Line at 980-484-6019 Monday – Friday from 8:00 am – 5:00 pm. Individuals under the age of eighteen (18) must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at their appointment to provide consent for the vaccine.

“Our supply is very good, and we have seen a decrease in the demand for the vaccine as more people have gotten vaccinated and as more providers are now offering the vaccine,” says DeShay Oliver, Deputy Health Director, Cleveland County Health Department.

“As a result, scheduling has become very simple and is no longer a competitive process.

See VACCINE, Page 8A

he felt the new mine in Kings Mountain could easily yield $500,000 of gold ore. The Charlotte Democrat newspaper on September 26,1877 wrote this article soon after mining began in Kings Mountain: ''One of the richest gold mines ever opened in North Carolina has just been opened in Kings Mountain. Some of the best mining experts in the country state that the mine will be the richest east of the Mississippi River. Dr. F.A. Genth, who has had much experience in the mines in Colorado and California, informs us that the specimens are the richest he has ever seen.''

At today's price of gold at $1,600 per ounce

the gold mine would be projected to yield over 90 million dollars, easy to see why gold fever gripped the citizens of Kings Mountain.

What happened to the mining company and the mine? An ad in the June18,1881 Gaston Gazette tells the sad tale: '' Kings Mountain Gold Mine For Sale. By virtue of a Deed of Trust executed by the Kings Mountain Mining Company yesterday afternoon as Register of Deeds Gaston County, I declare a public auction for cash will be held on Saturday July 2 at the Kings Mountain Gold Mine.

For sale will be 485 acres of land, five buildings, all mining equipment including pumps,

machinery, tools, mules, wagons, carts, horses and over forty tents will be auctioned.-- A.G. Curtin.''

The costs of obtaining gold ore with the crude methods of the day made the mine unprofitable. Since gold was then only five dollars and ounce deep mining was not cost efficient. In the 1950's the town of Kings Mountain suffered a severe shortage of water at the old City Lake. Business and homes were forced to ration water. Trying to find more water, a drilling company from Shelby was hired. In the drilling process the old gold mine shaft was flooded and destroyed.

port and less likely to oppose recreational marijuana legalization. Sixty-two percent of those 18 to 24 percent and 65 percent of those 25 to 44 percent support legalization, while 52 percent of those 45 to 64 years of age support legalization and just 32 percent of those 65 or older support legalization.

On the flip side, more than half - 56 percent of those 65 or older oppose legalization compared to 38 percent of those 45 to 64, 22 percent of those 25 to 44 and 23 percent of those 18 to 24.

According to the study, The N.C. Task Force for Racial Equity in Criminal Justice, a group formed by Gov. Roy Cooper and headed by Attorney General Jeff Stein, recommended in November that the state decriminalize the possession of up to 1.5 ounces of marijuana. The task force cited data showing that North Carolinians of color are disproportionately arrested for marijuana possession and recommended that possession still be a civil offense.

Decriminalizing mari-

juana possession received the most support from residents who have higher levels of educational attainment, Democrats, White residents, and men. 72 percent of those with a bachelor’s degree or more support the change compared to 65 percent of those with less than a bachelor’s degree.

Seventy-one percent of Democrats would like to see the laws changed compared to 60 percent of Republicans and 69 percent of those who belong to neither party.

Breaking down the results by race, the change generated the most support from Whites (70 percent), followed by Blacks (65) and those of other races (56 percent). Men were slightly more likely to support a change in the law (69 percent) than women (65 percent).

Interestingly, support for changing the laws was lowest among the youngest residents and the oldest. Among those 18 to 24 years old, 62 percent said the laws should be changed and among those 65 or older, 63 percent supported the

change. That compares to 68 percent of those 45 to 64 and 70 percent of those 25 to 44.

All three senate bills are slated for discussion during the 2021-2022 session. Time will tell if North Carolina lawmakers choose to decriminalize marijuana, allow those with certain conditions to use it, or prevent the sale of marijuana in the state altogether.

In Virginia, marijuana will become legal on July 1, but retail sales won’t begin until 2024. The legislation allows for legal possession of up to an ounce of marijuana for people 21 and older.

While adults can possess it up to an ounce of the drug, they can’t buy it there until 2024. However, the legislation does allow gifting of an ounce of the drug to any adult.

Virginia is the first southern state, and the 16th state in the nation, to approve the sale of marijuana, an action will bring the sale of marijuana right to North Carolina’s doorstep very soon.

Loving Me As the reality sunk in that I was a human b e i n g with limitations, I could not help but feel Pastor Greg Neely a certain Chestnut Ridge degree of Church helplessness. If I could not help all those I loved then what would they do? And if my identity was not found in being able to solve all the problems then how would God’s plan be carried out and what would happen to all those in need?

Looking back, I cannot believe just how arrogant that actually sounded.

I honestly don’t think I intended for it to turn out that way. I believe like many other caregivers, I was just trying to be Christ to the world. It took exhausting myself of everything that God had given us in our natural bodies to realize that the life of Christ in us is a supernatural work.

In John chapter 4, Jesus encounters a Samaritan woman at a well where He is looking for a drink to quench His weary body’s thirst, and she is coming to get through another day of inward emptiness by com-

(Part 2)

pleting her chores for the day. Jesus allowed us to see through His incarnation that the flesh of this world has limitations which transcend to all people, teaching us that we can also grow physically weary on our journey.

This lady that Jesus met was not only limited by her physical body, but she was burdened down by consequences that had accumulated from failed relationships and bad decisions over the course of her life. When Jesus mentioned to her that He had a source of water that would provide something she had been going without, it caught her attention. She

had never heard anyone speak with a promise of abundance like He did. She challenged Him by asking, “Are you greater than our father Jacob that gave us this well?”

When the greatest resource in our life is what another person provides, we are running on empty, even if that person is you.

But God loved us so much that He sent Christ to redeem us so that we might have His life in us. He did not ask us to love others at our expense. Jesus wants us to come be filled to overflowing so that His life would overflow into others. His fountain never runs dry!

Museum presents story of Pirate Jean Laffite on July 15 Join Kings Mountain Historical Museum for a local author talk and book signing with mother-daughter team Beth Yarbrough and Ashley Oliphant and dive into their research on the Pirate Jean Laffite connection to Lorenzo Ferrer in Lincolnton, NC.

One of America's Longest-Running Mysteries takes a fresh look at the various myths and legends surrounding one of the last great pirates. Beginning in 1805, the book traces Laffite through his rise to power as a privateer and smuggler in the Gulf, his involvement in the Battle of New Orleans, his flight to Texas, and his eventual disappearance in the waters of the Caribbean.

With stunning revelations, this book picks up the trail

his complicated life. They also give us a history lesson about the times and places surrounding the unfolding drama. A fascinating read!”

This event will adhere to social distancing protocols and guidelines in place at the time of the event. Masks and temperature checks will be required upon entry.

NC House introduces bill to provide firefighters cancer coverage and disability benefits State House lawmakers Rep. Destin Hall (R-Caldwell), Rep. John Bell (RWayne), Rep. Jason Saine (R-Lincoln), and Rep. Jon Hardister (R- Guilford) have filed HB 535 Firefighters Fighting Cancer Act of 2021 which would provide supplemental insurance for firefighters diagnosed with cancer.

This bill would provide a lump sum of $25,000 to $50,000 upon initial cancer diagnosis of an eligible firefighter and annually provide

$12,000 for out-of-pocket medical expenses. HB 535 would also include disability benefits for firefighters unable to work due to a cancer diagnosis.

“Firefighters risking their lives and long-term health for us need to be protected if they fall ill. This bill will provide a much-needed layer of security for our brave firefighters and give them some extra peace of mind should they find themselves in a serious health crisis”, said Rep. Destin Hall

(R-Caldwell).

Firefighters have a nine percent higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14 percent higher risk of dying from cancer than the general U.S. population.

“This recognition of the dangers that the men and women who bravely respond to our emergencies each and every day is long overdue.

It is my hope we can get this bill signed into law as quickly as they respond on our behalf”, said Rep. Jason Saine (R-Lincoln).

Currently, North Carolina is the only state without any presumptive cancer coverage. When attempting to receive workman’s compensation, many firefighters diagnosed with cancer are unable to prove their disease resulted from their occupation or are not able to do so quickly, leaving them with little time to deal with their disease. This can leave firefighters diagnosed with cancer in a dire financial situation and render them unable to pursue the best

RIA approves $562,500 Swedish manufacturer to create grant for City of Shelby 22 new jobs in Gaston County City of Shelby received a $562,500 grant from the North Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA) that will help the city with the construction and installation of sewer infrastructure at a 62-acre industrial site, which will support activity at a future shell building. The new sewer capacity will give the City additional inventory to help attract employers to the site.

The Industrial Development Fund – Utility Account provides grants to local governments located in the 80 most economically distressed counties of the state, which are classified as either Tier 1 or Tier 2. Funds may be used for publicly-owned infrastructure projects that are reasonably expected to result in new job creation. The IDF – Utility Account is funded through a process tied to the state’s signature Job Development Investment Grant (JDIG) program. When JDIGawarded companies choose to locate or expand in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 county, a

portion of that JDIG award is channeled into the Utility Account.

The North Carolina Rural Infrastructure Authority (RIA) approved 11 grant requests to local governments totaling $3,702,500, Governor Roy Cooper announced Thursday. The requests include commitments to create a total of 486 jobs, 40 of which were previously announced. The public investment in these projects will attract more than $32 million in private investment.

“Rural Infrastructure grants help speed up recovery across our state,” Governor Cooper said.

“Stronger, more resilient buildings and water and sewer systems attract good jobs for North Carolinians and greater investment by innovative companies.”

The North Carolina Department of Commerce’s team of rural economic development professionals supports the RIA’s work.

RIA members review and approve funding requests from local communities.

Funding comes from a variety of specialized grant and loan programs offered and managed by N.C. Commerce’s Rural Economic Development Division, led

by Assistant Secretary for Rural Development Kenny Flowers. Grants can support a variety of activities, including infrastructure development, building renovation, expansion and demolition, and site improvements.

“Through these new grants, we will help support the resiliency of North Carolina’s rural areas, so that they can attract jobs and build for the future,” N.C. Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders said. “Our Rural Economic Development Division and the RIA are proud to continue working with local communities to create the conditions for economic growth.”

A Special Supplement Inside

Polykemi AB, a Swedish manufacturer of plastic compounds, will create 22 new jobs in Gaston County, Governor Roy Cooper announced today. The company will invest $11.8 million to locate its first U.S. production facility in the Gastonia Technology Park.

“We are pleased to welcome another global manufacturer that has selected North Carolina for their North American operations,” said Governor Cooper. “Polykemi’s decision emphasizes our state’s world-class talent and affirms the strength of our economy in the global market.”

Polykemi AB, part of the Polykemi Group, has been providing custom plastic compounds for the automotive, furniture and household industries for more than 50 years. The plastic compounds are formulated into granules to be melted and injection molded for automotive components, household interiors and more. Polykemi is a third-generation family-owned company with sales offices worldwide and factories in Sweden and China, including a recycling operation and innovative packaging company. The new Gastonia manufacturing plant will be the company’s first North American operation and represents Polykemi’s single largest investment to date.

“Since creating our subsidiary Polykemi Inc. in 2012 our aim has been to establish a production site in the US and we are very

happy to announce that this project is now becoming a reality,” said Johan Hugoson, CEO of Polykemi Inc. “Being present with our own production will enable us to get closer to our customers and to explore the many opportunities we see in the US market.”

“When international companies choose to expand, they are often attracted to our strong manufacturing workforce,” said Commerce Secretary Machelle Baker Sanders.

“In addition to our talent, growing companies like Polykemi appreciate North Carolina’s robust infrastructure, market access, and affordability to increase their global success.”

The North Carolina Department of Commerce led a team of partners in supporting Polykemi’s decision to establish a manufacturing plant in North Carolina. New positions include operations, maintenance, finance and managerial personnel. The average annual salary for all new positions is $59,132, creating a potential payroll impact of more than $1.3 million per year. Gaston County’s overall average annual wage is $42,018.

A performance-based grant of $50,000 from the One North Carolina Fund will help with Polykemi’s expansion to North Carolina. The One NC Fund provides financial assistance to local governments

to help attract economic investment and to create jobs.

Companies receive no money upfront and must meet job creation and capital investment targets to qualify for payment. All One NC grants require a matching grant from local governments and any award is contingent upon that condition being met.

“We are thrilled to welcome another international company to Gaston County,” said N.C. Representative John Torbett.

“Polykemi’s new addition to our business community is just the beginning of a strong partnership to grow our global reputation as a great place to do business.

We welcome them to their new home.”

“Polykemi’s investment is a win for everyone,” said N.C. Senator Kathy Harrington. “With a strong, capable workforce and great infrastructure, the people of Gastonia are ready to support the company for many years to come.”

Joining the North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina were key partners in the project that included the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, Gaston College, Gaston County, Gaston County Economic Development Commission, City of Gastonia, Two Rivers Utilities, and Charlotte Regional Business Alliance.

Tough Monroe team at KMHS for round two

Jaylen Mims is too quick for the Robinson defense in first round of NCHSAA 3A state playoffs.

Mountaineers rout JMR 49-6 Kings Mountain dominated in all three phases of the game to defeat Jay M. Robinson 49-6 in the opening round of the state 3A championship playoffs Friday night at John Gamble Stadium.

A large home crowd saw the Mountaineers build a quick 21-0 lead before the visitors were able to score, then KM broke the game open early in the second half and played the entire fourth quarter under the running clock rule.

While the Mountaineers were running up 369 yards total offense, the defense except for one catch and run 65-yard touchdown by J-Rob’s Joshua Grant Jr. was holding the visitors to three-and-out on most of their possessions.

“We played pretty well, but it wasn’t one of our best nights,” noted head coach Greg Lloyd. “It wasn’t bad but we have to play much better.”

Robinson was successful in stopping a Mountaineer touchdown bid on the game’s opening drive, forcing a punt from the Robinson 37. KM’s Jamie Wilson downed it inside the visitors’ one and they had a hard time getting out of the hole.

With AJ Richardson

making tackles on the first two plays, and DayDay Wilson on the third, the KM defense forced a punt from the Robinson seven and it was downed on the 33. Six plays later Caleb Holland scored from 10 yards out and Jaylen Ellis kicked the point-after and the rout was on.

Another three-and-out followed by another short punt put the Mountaineers in business at their own 43 and a 43-yard catch and run

by Jaylen Mims put them on the J-Rob 15. Holland carried twice for 14 yards to set up an Ethan Reid sneak for the TD and a 14-0 advantage.

KM forced another 3-and-out, and this time the Mountaineers took over at the visitors’ five after a botched punt attempt. A couple penalties set them back to the 21 but Reid hit Chance Cannon wide open across the middle for a 21-0 lead.

The visitors rallied for their only TD, moving 82 yards in five plays, the last one a 68-yard catch and run TD by Joshua Grant. That would be one of just two serious threats by the visitors as the KM defense, led by the likes of AJ Richardson, DayDay and Javari Wilson, Chris Ruffalo, Trey Craww-

ford and others kept the heat on all night. Pass interceptions by Marcus Odums in the end zone to end the first half, and Deandre Hoyle early in the fourth quarter were big.

The Mountaineers went up 28-6 when Mims broke a 26-yard TD run to cap a 63yard drive that was aided by a pass interference penalty on Robinson.

Robinson got the ball to open the second half and picked up a first down before having to punt from its own 47. The short kick was downed at the KM 35. Reid hit Odums with a 65-yard bomb for a 35-6 lead.

After tackles by Jake Lloyd and Javari Wilson for minus 13 yards forced a J-Rob punt, it took just two plays to score with Holland going right up the middle of the field for a 41 yard TD and a 42-6 lead.

KM took possession again with 2:13 to go in the third, and on the first play of the fourth quarter Reid hit Cannon with a 24-yard touchdown pass to put the running clock rule into effect.

“I thought our offensive line did a great job and the defense tackled well,” Lloyd said. “The backs ran hard and Ethan (Reid) threw the ball well. We were a lit-

tle undisciplined and had some untimely penalties that can get you beat against a good team. But we played good in all three phases and were glad to win.

“The defense played well. They’ve been good all year. Other than that one touchdown play we dominated them. We have to keep that up.”

HOW THEY DID IT FIRST QUARTER 6:46 – KM – Caleb Holland 10-run (Jayden Ellis kick).33-yd. drive after short J-Rob punt. Mims 1-5 rushing, Holland 5-28 rushing.

3:13 – KM – Ethan Reid 1-run (Ellis kick). 57-yd., 5 plays following J-Rob 3 and out. Key play 43-yard catch and run by Mims to J-Rob 15.

0:26.1 – KM - Chance Cannon, 21 pass from Reid (Ellis kick). Third play after tackling J-Rob punter on five, followed by two KM penalties for 15 yards.

SECOND QUARTER 10:05 – JMR – Joshua Grant, 65-pass from Monroe. (Run failed).

6:58 – KM – Jaylen Mims 26 run (Ellis kick).

63-yd. drive, 6 plays. Key plays 16-yard reception by Orlando Odums and pass int. call on Robinson.

Kings Mountain football coach Greg Lloyd says his Mountaineers face their toughest test of the season Friday night when the Monroe Red Hawks come to town for a second round game in the state 3A playoffs.

Monroe brings a 6-2 record to John Gamble Stadium but Kings Mountain players and fans should not look at that record and feel comfortable. Those two losses were to two of the best football teams in the state, defending 3A state champion Charlotte Catholic and defending 3AA state champion Weddington.

“We have to play our best game this week,” Lloyd says.

“They are very dangerous.

This is the best team we’ve seen this year. They’re the most athletic team we’ve seen.”

Just like the Mountaineers, the Red Hawks have put up some big numbers. They’ve scored in the 30s and 40s in all of their victories.

And, needless to say, when a team scores big numbers it has a lot of players putting up big numbers as well.

“They’ll put a lot of great athletes on the field,” Lloyd said. “They’re much better than they were last year” when the Mountaineers had to come from 20-0 down to beat them 35-20 in a non-conference game.

“They run and pass very well and they are stingy on defense,” Lloyd noted. “This is a big test.

“They’re very impressive and I’m sure they will come to play,” he said. “They have some of the best players I’ve seen. Their number 1 (wide receiver/free safety Shalek Knotts) is one of the highest recruited players in the state.

He’s tall and he’s fast.”

Knotts has hauled in 20 passes for 422 yards and three touchdowns and is just one of three outstanding receivers on the team. Jordan Black has 17 See MONROE, Page 2B

MONROE

KM’s Big Nasty package of Blake Davis (67), Javari Wilson (5) and DayDay Wilson (10) lead Caleb Holland to the end zone in Friday’s playoff game at Gamble Stadium.

From Page 1B catches for 330 yards and Elliott Reid 24 for 388. That trio has the bulk of quarterback Khamoni Robinson’s 1,271 yards and 13 touchdowns passing.

The Red Hawks also have a strong and balanced running game led by Jack Crump with 89 carries for 679 yards and six touchdowns. QB Robinson is also a running threat with 283 yards and four TDs in 33 carries.

“We have to be disciplined,” Lloyd noted. “We

need to put pressure on the quarterback and not give up any big plays.

“Offensively, we have to establish the run and choose when we can pass the ball.

And, we have to have good special teams play.

“Monroe’s going to be a hand full,” he added, “and we have to play much better than we did last week.”

The winner of Friday’s game will meet the winner of the AC Reynolds-Charlotte Catholic game for the Western Regional championship and a spot opposite the Eastern champion for the state championship.

Green to receive Jack Kent Cooke Foundation scholarship The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation has selected Olivia Green as one of the 61 graduating high school seniors to receive the Cooke College Scholarship. This year’s recipients, who represent 26 states, will receive up to $40,000 annually to cover costs associated with their undergraduate education, as they go on to attend some of the nation’s top colleges and universities next fall.

As the pandemic continues to cause economic disruptions in the lives of American families, college application rates have seen a dramatic decline among low-income and first-gener-

OLIVIA GREEN ation students. According to the Common App, applications from first-generation students declined by one percent. The Cooke College Scholarship Program seeks to close the gaps in

higher education access for driven students with financial need. Cooke College Scholars will receive financial support, along with ongoing educational advising from Foundation staff and access to a network of over 2,800 active Scholars and Alumni. Scholars will also receive opportunities for internships, study abroad, and access to graduate school funding.

“The class of 2021 is incredibly inspiring -- they’ve persisted through a year of unprecedented trials as they navigated remote learning, rapidly changing family finances, and of course, deep concerns over the health of

their communities. Paying for college shouldn’t be another barrier,” said Seppy Basili, Executive Director of the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation. “At the Foundation, we remain deeply committed to ensuring that finances do not stand in the way of college success for the Scholars we are able to support. We know the resilience and accomplishments of these students will only add to our community of Scholars, and we are very excited to welcome them.”

This year, students applied for the Cooke College Scholarship from all 50 states, Washington, DC, Puerto Rico, Guam, North-

ern Marianas, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa. The Foundation evaluated each submission, and selected Scholars based on their academic ability, persistence, leadership, and financial need. Scholars will go on to study in fields such as biological science, engineering, computer science, and political science.

These 61 Scholars join the 43 current Cooke Young Scholars selected in February to continue to receive the organization’s support to form the 2021 cohort of 104 new College Scholars.

A full list of the 2021 Cooke College Scholars, including

the high schools and states they represent, can be found here.

The Jack Kent Cooke Foundation is dedicated to advancing the education of exceptionally promising students who have financial need. Since 2000, the Foundation has awarded over $222 million in scholarships to over 2,800 students from 8th grade through graduate school, along with comprehensive educational advising and other support services. The Foundation has also provided $115 million in grants to organizations that serve such students. www.jkcf.org

Olivia Poston signs with Lindsey Wilson College Four seniors at Pinnacle Classical Academy were offered a combined $1.3 million in four-year archery scholarships by all the colleges and universities to which they were accepted.

Morgan Bussert has signed with University of the Cumberlands, Kate Miller and Landon Standish have signed with Union College (Kentucky), and Olivia Poston has signed with Lindsey Wilson College.

"We are incredibly grateful for the work of Todd Tongel, our archery coach, who has built one of the best scholastic archery programs in the nation," said Dr. Shelly Bullard, the school's headmaster.

"These kids gave it their all from the first day of archery practice at PCA," said Lorie Poston, the mother of Olivia Poston. "For them to be able to continue that journey into college with sizable scholarships is just a phenomenal feeling."

"Archery has offered Landon the opportunity to gain

personal skills that he will now be able to use as he enters his collegiate years," added Shannon Standish, the mother of Landon Standish. "Shooting for S3DA (Scholastic 3-D Archery) also provided scholarship opportunities. As a parent I couldn’t be more pleased with the journey I have watched since Landon started archery in fifth grade."

"We have been incredibly blessed to attend Pinnacle Classical Academy, to earn a free two-year associate degree, and to have made the PCA Thunderbird's Archery Team with Coach Todd Tongel for Kate's fifth grade year, and winning at the national level," added the Miller family.

Founded in 2013, Pinnacle Classical Academy is a K-12 tuition-free public charter school located in Shelby. It attracts 1,083 students from five counties.

Jonathan Staton inducted into Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi Jonathan Staton of Kings Mountain was recently initiated into The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi, the nation's oldest and most selective collegiate honor society for all academic disciplines.

Jonathan is a student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

He is among approxi-

mately 30,000 students, faculty, professional staff and alumni to be initiated into Phi Kappa Phi each year.

Membership is by invitation only and requires nomination and approval by a chapter. Only the top 10 percent of seniors and 7.5 percent of juniors are eligible for membership. Graduate stu-

dents in the top 10 percent of the number of candidates for graduate degrees may also qualify, as do faculty, professional staff and alumni who have achieved scholarly distinction.

Phi Kappa Phi was founded in 1897 under the leadership of undergraduate student Marcus L. Urann who had a desire to create a different kind of honor

society: one that recognized excellence in all academic disciplines. Today, the Society has chapters on more than 325 campuses in the United States and the Philippines. Its mission is "To recognize and promote academic excellence in all fields of higher education and to engage the community of scholars in service to others."

Celebrating the Gifts of Hospice Volunteers Hospice Cleveland County Honors its Volunteers during National Volunteer Week, April 18 – 24 National Volunteer Week provides the opportunity to recognize the millions of Americans who provide volunteer service in communities across the country. At Hospice Cleveland County, trained volunteers give selflessly to help people live as fully as possi-

ble, even when facing a serious or life-limiting illness.

Even now, when our volunteers can’t visit patients and their families in the home as they used to before the pandemic, they are making a difference by contacting patients and families by phone or by sending cards to offer both social and emotional support.

FORT GREEN RESTORATION ADVISORY BOARD (RAB) The former Fort Green (also known as Camp Green) is located in and near Charlotte, North Carolina in Mecklenburg and Gaston Counties. It was used from 1917 to 1919 by the War Department as a mobilization and training area of troops for World War I. The former Fort Green consisted of approximately 6,000 acres including a 2,179-acre cantonment (Area A; Mecklenburg County), a 3,263-acre artillery range (Area B; Gaston County) and a 781-acre tent camp (Area C; Gastonia, NC). Areas A and C have subsequently been developed into residential housing, churches, schools and commercial businesses. Area B is currently composed of rural residential, agricultural commercial and public land (which includes portions of Crowders Mountain State Park.

The US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is investigating and remediating the site under the Defense Environmental Restoration Program for Formerly Used Defense Sites (DERP-FUDS). Various site investigations have been conducted at the former Fort Green to determine the presence of various types of contaminants. USACE has worked closely with the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality and in conjunction with United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) guidance to establish and follow remedial actions protective of human health and the environment.

The Department of Defense encourages community involvement in the environmental restoration process. A Restoration Advisory Board is one of many methods the US Army Corps of Engineers may use to facilitate public participation at a Formerly Used Defense Site. RABs provide a collaborative forum for the community, government agencies, tribes and installation decision makers to discuss and identify the most efficient and productive means to restore the environment. RAB members are asked to meet regularly to review and comment on technical documents and plans relating to the ongoing environmental studies and restoration activities at the former Fort Green. Members will be expected to serve as liaisons with the community and be available to meet with community members and groups. RAB members serve as volunteers and provide individual advice to decision makers on environmental restoration plans for the former Fort Green.

The USACE Savannah District welcomes public feedback regarding interest in establishing a RAB for the former Fort Green no later than June 1, 2021. Inquiries or questions should be submitted to: Carl Dokter U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District 100 W. Oglethorpe Ave. Savannah, GA 31401 (912) 652-5673 Carl.H.Dokter@usace.army.mil An Information Repository, which documents the rationale for all remedial action decisions for this site, is maintained and accessible to the community at: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Savannah District 100 W Oglethorpe Ave. Savannah, GA 31401

By JIM MILLER Editor

Should You Prepay Your Funeral?

Dear Savvy Senior, My wife and I have been thinking about preplanning our funerals now so our kids won’t have to later, but we would like to find out if it’s a good idea to prepay. What can you tell us?

Living on a Budget Dear Living, Planning your funerals in advance is definitely a smart move. Not only does it give you and your wife time to make a thoughtful decision on the type of service you want, it also allows you to shop around to find a good funeral provider, and it will spare your family members the burden of making these decisions at an emotional time.

But preplanning a funeral doesn’t mean you have to prepay too. In fact, the Funeral Consumer Alliance, a national nonprofit funeral consumer protection organization, doesn’t recommend it unless you need to spend down your financial resources so you can qualify for Medicaid. Here’s what you should know.

Preneed Arrangements

Most funeral homes today offer what is known as “preneed plans,” which allow you to prearrange for the type of funeral services you want and prepay with a lump sum or through installments. The funeral home either puts your money in a trust fund with the payout triggered by your death or buys an insurance policy naming itself as the beneficiary.

If you’re interested in this route, make sure you’re being guaranteed the services you specify at the contracted price. Some contracts call for additional payments for final expense funding, which means that if the funeral home’s charges increase between the time you sign up and the time you sign off, somebody will have to pay the difference. Here are some additional questions you should ask before committing: • Can you cancel the contract and get a full refund if you change your mind?

• Will your money earn interest? If so, how much? Who gets it?

• If there is an insurance policy involved, is there a waiting period before it takes effect? How long?

• Are the prices locked in or will an additional payment be required at the time of death?

• Are you protected if the funeral home goes out of business or if it’s bought out by another company?

• What happens if you move? Can the plan be transferred to another funeral home in a different state?

• If there’s money left over after your funeral, will your heirs get it, or does the home keep it?

If you decide to prepay, be sure to get all the details of the agreement in writing and give copies to your family so they know what’s expected. If your family isn’t aware that you’ve made plans, your wishes may not be carried out. And if family members don’t know that you’ve prepaid the funeral costs, they could end up paying for the same arrangements.

Other Payment Option While prepaying your funerals may seem like a convenient way to go, from a financial point of view, there are better options available.

For example, if you have a life insurance policy, many policies will pay a lump sum when you die to your beneficiaries to be used for your funeral expenses. The payment is made soon after you die and doesn’t have to go through probate.

Or you could set up a payable-ondeath (or POD) account at your bank or credit union, naming the person you want to handle your arrangements as the beneficiary. POD accounts also are called Totten Trusts. With this type of account, you maintain control of your money, so you can tap the funds in an emergency, collect the interest and change the beneficiary. When you die, your beneficiary collects the balance without the delay of probate.

Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
