Tim Moore exonerated in inquiry

By Loretta Cozart Wake County District Attorney Lorrin Freeman announced Monday that an inquiry into attorney’s fees paid to N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore by two private clients who had matters before the legislature found no wrongdoing.

“Following this review, we have determined that these fees were for legal services paid to Mr. Moore in his capacity as an attorney. This review found no misuse of public office for private gain or other wrongdoing as to these payments and we therefore are closing the inquiry into this matter without further action.”

Following the announcement, Moore commented. “I appreciate the careful and professional way the District Attorney and the SBI handled the anonymous allegations that were made against me. I also appreciate the confidence that the voters have placed in me, and I will continue working to maintain their trust.”

Speaker Tim Moore is congratulated as he enters the North Carolina General Assembly House Chamber in Raleigh, NC. (Photo provided)

For Dental Implants Locally Here In Kings Mountain

Baker Dental Care Preventative, Restorative & Cosmetic Dentistry

Griffin’s Drug Center was a staple of Kings Mountain for 98 years until it closed in 2016. This drug store played a vital role in Kings Mountain’s past, not only as a place to fill prescriptions and purchase everyday health items, it was also a spot for friends to gather after watching a movie or shopping downtown. Students often met there after school for a cherry coke at the soda fountain.

In his book, “Tracks Through Time,” Dave Baity shared the story of Griffin Drug Company and E.W. Griffin, Sr., “Griffin bought the Carpenter Drug firm on Mountain Street in 1919. The first location for the store was adjacent to the present site, and organizations such as the Knights of Pythias, Woodmen of the World and the Infinite Order of Redmen met in a large room on the second

floor of the building.”

The Woman’s Club also met in Pythian Hall and held their first Fall Festival there. Kings Mountain’s first library, with 85 books, was in what was referred to as the “Pythian Club reading room”.

According to the 1919 Sanborn Map, the drug store was located just east of its current location on Mountain Street. Next door was a grocery. This location was confirmed when Baity wrote, “In 1953, Griffin bought the old Patterson Grocery next door and moved there.”

E.W. Griffin had owned a pharmacy in Marshville before moving to Kings Mountain. For a time, he worked in a drug store in Gastonia. He earned a degree from the Southern College of Pharmacy when state law began requiring a license.

Folks in Kings Mountain called him “Doc Griffin, See GRIFFIN, Page 2A

FCA US LLC is recalling an estimated 159,740 U.S.-market vehicles, nearly one-third of which are still in dealer hands, to tighten a fastener linked to reports of power-steering loss. FCA US LLC distributes vehicles under the Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, FIAT and Alfa Romeo brands.

The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents.

An FCA US investigation discovered certain vehicles produced before Oct. 25, 2018, may have a battery ground-circuit fastener that was not secured properly. Accordingly, the connection may become loose enough to intermittently create an open circuit.

Should such a condition occur, the vehicle would retain steering capability. However, it could lead to inconsistent steering feedback, which may contribute to oversteer or understeer, increasing the risk of crash.

Affected are certain 2019 Ram 1500 pickups.

Additional vehicles will be subject to recall in Canada (est. 18,682), Mexico (est.

407) and a few markets outside the NAFTA region (est.

3.409).

Customers with questions or concerns may call 1-800-853-1403.

DAR to continue wreaths project in 2019

Rick Helms in front of the Cherryville Little Theater’s new sign.

Cherryville’s Rick Helms has plans to restage “Godspell” Auditions slated for Feb.9 and 16

by MICHAEL E. POWELL Special to the Herald Heads-up all lovers of 70sera musicals: Cherryville’s Rick Helms is planning to restage the hit musical “Godspell” at the Cherryville’s Little Theater.

Rick will be having an audition class on Feb. 9, 2019 from 1:30 to 3 p.m., at the Cherryville Little Theater on W. Academy Street, in Cherryville. Auditions will then begin the following week on Feb. 16, 2019, again from 1:30 to 3 p.m., he said.

The play opening itself is planned for the weekend of Friday, May 17, Saturday, May 18, and May 24 and May 25. Helms said he is looking for actors/actresses in the age range of 16 to 30.

Helms said he is hoping they can have, during the first weekend production, some of the new and former cast members do a couple of songs together.

Said Helms, “We will see how the closing performance comes together before deciding on what songs will be reprised to close the evening. I have a feeling that everyone in the original cast will be wanting that mic! I’m sure it will be an evening not to be missed!”

Helms noted he originally planned on trying for the restaging last fall but it didn’t come together.

“Now, I just want to see it happen,” he said.

The back-story on this is that way back in 1974, Helms and a group of kids

from Cherryville, Shelby, and other nearby towns all came together for what Helms called a “serendipitous moment” in August of 1974 to put the then-wildly popular John-Michael Tebelak/Stephen Schwartz New York stage musical on in Cherryville.

By all newspaper accounts from that time period, from sources as diverse as the Cherryville Eagle (the hometown paper), to the Shelby Star and the Lincoln TimesNews, the play was a rousing success.

Helms, 66, is a resident of Cherryville, graduating from CHS in 1970, and attending Gaston College and Central Wesleyan in South Carolina.

After working and living in Charlotte for 35 years and retiring from Belk in 2013, Helms returned home to Cherryville because, as he said, “I wanted to come home.”

Helms said he went to Charlotte in 1973 to see Godspell at Ovens Auditorium.

“I fell in love with it (the play) and wanted to do the play in Cherryville. The Little Theater had only been open for a little while and I had been involved with some of the plays, and I just wanted to see if we could do it here,” he said. “Also, it’s the first time I ever wanted to be in a play.”

Helms said he then came home after seeing the play and set to work to make his wish and hopes come true.

“I went right to work to make that happen!” he said.

Helms noted that within a month’s time after an initial call to New York to see if the music and play might be available to small companies wishing to stage it, he said it

CLIP THIS COUPON FOR 15% OFF FEBRUARY 2-8 M-F: 10-5 and 1st Saturday: 9-2

became available.

“It was the first musical Cherryville Little Theater ever made,” Helms said.

Helms has many fond memories of the Little Theater, as well as many fond memories of the Godspell cast and crew.

“All of us were Cherryville actors and crew except for Elizabeth (Williams), and Chris (Hudson), who were from Shelby,” noted Helms.

Others of the cast then were: Debbie Bowman, Chuck and Marcia Lindler, and Gina Van Dyke. Music was provided

by Teresa Williams (piano/ keyboard); Billy Hayes (percussion); Wayne Mauney (bass); Dan Randall (guitar); and Betty Blake (guitar and banjo). Production staff included: David Warlick (lighting); Rick Bacon, Jeff Hutto; Jim Booker (then CLT President); Pansy Dellinger; Terry Fisher; Claudia Harrelson; Helms; Homesley; Dwight Smith; Margaret Smith; Rote Smith (then CLT Treasurer); Butch Sneed; Wanda Sneed (then CLT Secretary);Brenda Stroupe; and Sharon York.

Marveta McGinnis was the CLY Vice President at the time of the play.

The feeling they were growing to be like a family while the play was starting became prevalent to all who were a part of it, or watched the practices.

Helms agreed, adding, “Oh, I think we definitely felt it (becoming close, like a family)! Yes! The day of auditions in May of 1974 at the Presbyterian Church fellowship hall, we were almost complete strangers, with the exception of Marcia and Chuck Lindler, who were married to one another.

“We may have known someone’s name or had a casual knowledge of who they were, but none of us knew anyone else in the cast well enough to be called friends or even acquaintances.

“And none of us, to my knowledge, had theater experience. It was simply serendipity that put the nine of us together at that place, at that time. The closeness and caring we felt for one another

TODAY’S QUOTE:

Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others? Martin Luther King, Jr.

Pieces of Kings Mountain History

By Loretta Husky Cozart To say I have a soft spot in LORETTA my heart COZART for Kings Mountain would be an understatement. I enjoy scanning old Herald issues to learn more about our past, because day-to-day items are often recorded in its pages.

For years I’ve been trying to find a history of the “Old Park,” located one block west of North School near the intersection of Gantt and McGinnis Streets. I grew up nearby and walked by the remnants of the Old Park when I attended North School. It had the best sledding hill in the neighborhood and kids flocked to it when it snowed.

Try as I might, I could

find no record of an “Old Park” anywhere.

So, I turned to Facebook.

There is a page titled, “If you lived in Kings Mountain from 1960 to 1985” that has many followers.

I asked if anyone knew of the Old Park.

Joe King replied that he had played there. “We kids would play in those brick huts and drink from the spring. We thought it was a cool place to hang out. There were 2 little brick buildings down the hill to the left of property and one near the right,” he recalled.

Donna Myers Williams had the best recollection of the park, “I remember it well. I only remember swings, slides and see saws. It was called the Old Park; never knew anything different. I crossed through the park each day walking home from North School.

I also remember the brick building. Think it was a

pump.”

Last week I searched the Herald again and found an article about the “Old Water Works Park” that opened on June 6, 1954 and was located near the intersection of Ramseur and McGinnis Streets. Finally, I found it! The city had converted the old Water Works into a park, adding swings, picnic tables, and benches. It even had a wading pool. Eventually, folks just shortened the name to the “Old Park.”

In time the park was abandoned, and apartments were built on the property. We had two other parks and this facility wasn’t needed anymore. You might think this would be the end of the story, but it isn’t.

Sixty-three years later, the city built a new park near the Old Park’s location. The new facility has swings, a ball field,

Looking back Old Water Works Picnic Area – Pictured above is a scene of a part of the city picnic area located at the former city water works site.

The area was officially opened on June 6, 1954 and work was practically completed Wednesday.

The wooded area features 3 barbecue pits, 12

picnic tables with seats attached, 20 long benches, four sets of double swings, a wading pool, and plenty of sand. The area, which is lighted, is to be open until 10:30 p.m. A concession stand will be located there, and toilets are available.

The area is located at the north city limits near the

intersection of McGinnis and Ramseur streets and may be reached from Cherryville road (north Piedmont Avenue) and from North Cansler Street (Herald photo by Carslile Studio.) Taken from the June 7, 1954 Kings Mountain Herald. Later citizens referred to the area as “The Old Park.”

■ MEDITATION

New, Abundant, Eternal Life! “eternal life?”

Throughout this In John 17:3 first month of the new Jesus offers a defiyear, we have considnition of eternal life ered what it means to as He prays to His have “new life,” not Father: “And this through resolutions, is eternal life, that but through faith in they know you, the Jesus Christ. Jesus only true God, and refers to this new life Jesus Christ whom as “abundant.” But Rev. you have sent.” By He also refers to this Rob Patrick, this, we can undernew life as “eternal.”

Pastor What does it mean to Boyce Memorial stand that we are “born again” into have “eternal life?”

ARP eternal life when Eternal means “of we come to know infinite duration,” and infinity is unbounded by Jesus Christ. We might say we beginning or end. The Bible “enter in” to this life through teaches that God alone is eter- faith.

The eternal nature of the nally existent. Every one of us has a beginning point, a date of Christian life is, at one level, conception and a date of birth. based upon God’s promise that So, again, how can we have when our bodies may die, our

souls are immediately received and perfected in His presence.

(Ecclesiastes 12:7) Coupled with this is Jesus’ promise that, when He returns, our decomposed bodies will be resurrected, as was His, and glorified like His, joined to our souls so that we might live with Him in glory forever.

(John 5:25-29, 1 Corinthians 15) This beautiful promise brings hope at any age, condition of health, or circumstance for all who believe in Jesus!

But if eternal life is defined as knowing God through faith in Christ, it is not just something we will receive in heaven; Christians have eternal life now! Eternal life refers not just to duration, but quality of life. It is knowing

God’s love and fellowship now, which will only increase to fullness when He receives us in heaven. As noted last week, this brings peace with God, assurance of salvation, and promise of heaven, all through the forgiveness, righteousness, and new life received on the basis of Jesus’ death and resurrection to glory.

Whatever goals or expectations you have for this new year, there is nothing greater than having eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ! It informs every accomplishment, and even disappointment, with eternal significance. May you know Jesus, and have new, abundant, eternal life in Him!

According to Andrew Lloyd Webber’s website, “In the summer of 1967, he was asked by Alan Doggett, head of the Music Department at Colet Court, St Paul’s Junior School to write a ‘pop cantata’ for the school choir to sing at their Easter end of term concert. Andrew immediately approached his friend Tim Rice to ask if he would write lyrics for the project.

After toying with ideas about spies, 007′s and the like, Tim suggested the story of Joseph. “Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” was released as a concept album in 1969.

According to Webber, “It was the success of Jesus Christ Superstar that enabled Joseph to continue to grow. The album of Jesus Christ Superstar was a massive success in America and when Joseph was released there, with a

1919 Sanborn Map of Kings Mountain showing Mountain Street near Battleground Avenue. In that time, Battleground Avenue was named “Railroad (East Side).”

SECRET From Page 4A of Swiss and German Palatines at the mouth of the Neuse River was thriving, expansion up the Neuse seemed a real possibility.”

Therefore, Lawson and Graffenried made a trip up the Neuse, through Tuscarora lands to scout sites for future settlements.

“All the while, the Indians grew more worried and angry as the abuses against them escalated and their complaints fell on deaf ears. That spark came in mid-September 1711,” according to La Vere, with this trip up the Neuse.

The local Tuscarora king or chief, offended and threatened that his territory had been invaded, captured Lawson and Graffenried and put them on trial for their lives.

When one of the more radical Indian leaders berated him, Lawson

lost his temper. “He argued back, his anger and sarcasm apparent to all.”

Lawson was doomed and shortly executed.

Graffenried remained in custody while the Indians planned and carried out their first attacks on September 22, 1711, appearing at first as friendly visitors to the settlers’ farms and then striking suddenly from ambush when the defenses were down.

North Carolina’s efforts to beat back the Tuscaroras were unsuccessful. The colony had not enough manpower, firepower, or money.

Help finally came from the wealthy sister colony to the south. South Carolina sent two expeditions to relieve its northern neighbor.

Hold on, we are close to the dark secret.

The first expedition led by John Barnwell set out with a force of about 700 men. Only 35 were regular militia.

The rest were Indians.

The results were mixed, and the Tuscaroras

remained a threat. The second expedition led

by James Moore, made up of 113 militia and 760 Indians, wiped out the Tuscarora at their stronghold at Neoheroka, near present day Snow Hill in Greene County, and unplugged the Tuscarora “cork” on settlement in the interior of North Carolina.

Why did South Carolina so enthusiastically aid its neighbor?

Why did South Carolina Indians provide the critical manpower?

Writes La Vere, “Above all, it was a chance to enrich oneself by looting the Tuscarora towns and taking slaves, which they could sell to waiting South Carolina traders for guns and merchandise.”

North Carolina’s early colonists secured their colony by facilitating and participating in the enslavement and sale of captured Tuscaroras by South Carolina Indians.

That is history’s dirty secret.

not simply because he dispensed medicine their physicians prescribed. He was a well-known for his ability to care for livestock and pets as his pharmacy business,” son Wilson Griffin, Jr. shared with Baity.

Wilson Griffin followed in his father’s footsteps. After his second year of Pharmacy School, he took a leave to join the United States Navy during WWII. After the service, Griffin intended to work for Abbott Laboratories in Chicago but found that a pharmacist at Griffin Drug had resigned, so he joined his father in running the business. He continued the business until his retirement in 1985.

Dr. Harold Bolick bought the drug store and retained the firm’s name.

(File photo) He served the citizens of Kings Mountain for 27 years before he retired and closed the store on August 4, 2016. The building stood vacant for more than 2 years.

On January 14, Dr. Harold and Lucy Bolick sold the Griffin Drug building to Vicki and Jim Thompson. The couple have already begun construction and renovations on the main floor of the Griffin building, and a new chapter begins.

Commercial realtor Russ Putnam was the dual broker on the sale of the Griffin building. “Having the opportunity to sell one of the most historic buildings in Kings Mountain was very nostalgic. I

remember as a young boy walking across the street from Neisler Brothers Inc. to get a milkshake and grilled cheese sandwich at Griffin Drug. There are a lot of memories in that building for a lot of people in Kings Mountain, North Carolina,” he said.

As buildings along Railroad, Battleground, Mountain and Gold Streets are purchased and renovated, the business district will change to meet the needs of the community. One by one, new life being breathed into these century old buildings as a new generation of entrepreneurs step forward to build their dreams in Kings Mountain.

Mountaineers sweep Cramer Kings Mountain High’s basketball teams opened the second half of Big South 3A Conference play Thursday night with a sweep of Stuart Cramer on the Purple Storm’s home court.

The first place Lady Mountaineers and Mountaineers began a rugged three-game stretch against the other first division teams in the conference last night at home against the North Gaston Wildcats.

Friday, they travel to Hunter Huss and Tuesday to Ashbrook against two other teams that are hot on the chase for the regular season championship. After that, the Mountaineers return home against Burns and Forestview before rounding out the regular season at Crest on February 15.

Kings Mountain’s girls, seeking their first conference championship since 1983, ran their record to 8-0 in the Big South and 14-2 overall Thursday with a 66-47 win at Stuart Cramer.

The Lady Mountaineers got a balanced effort on offense and defense. Cramer played them tough in the first half but KM still led 32-26 at the break despite Cramer’s Carley Womack’s 19 point scoring effort.

The Mountaineer defense took her out of the game in the second half, though, limiting her to just five points with three of them coming from a three-quarters court shot at the end of the third quarter.

KM led 58-33 going into the fourth quarter.

Freshman Saniya Wilson led the KM ladies with 19 points and also contributed five rebounds and four assists.

Senior standout Hannah Clark added to her career scoring record with 17 points and also pulled down six rebounds to go with four steals and three assists.

Zeke Littlejohn slams one home for the Mountaineers in last week’s win over Crest at Parker Gym.

Kings Mountain High’s wrestling team won two individual championships and finished in the top four in nine other weight classes to win the annual Big South 3A Conference tournament Saturday at Forestview High School in Gastonia.

The Mountaineers claimed the Big South championship after sharing first place in the regular season with Crest and North Gaston. North Gaston finished second in the tournament to join the Mountaineers in the state dual team playoffs which got underway last night with the Mountaineers facing the second place team from the Western Athletic Conference. The winner was to face the winner of a match between the first place team from the Northwestern Conference and the second place team from the North Piedmont Conference.

Dual team action continues on January 31 and the state championship is February 2.

“After big wins over Hunter Huss and Crest ear-

lier in the week to claim a share of the Big South Conference regular season title, the Mountaineers left little doubt as they won the Big South Conference tournament title and took the number 1 seed into the playoffs,” noted head coach Shane Short.

“As a team, we only have three goals each year,” he said. “We call them the 3C’s. We want to win our county, we want to win our conference, and we want to give ourselves the opportunity to compete in the dual team playoffs. We were fortunate to accomplish all three of our goals. This group is the youngest team I’ve coached but they fight and believe. The future is bright.”

Kings Mountain compiled 147 points to take first place over North Gaston with 135.5. Crest was third with 131, followed by Ashbrook 97, Hunter Huss 94, Stuart Cramer 86, Burns 60 and Forestview 58.

Mt. Holly Lamp Parade has an international angle

by Alan Hodge alan.bannernews@gmail.com

The bible urges folks not to hide their lamp under a basket, and that adage is certainly going to come true on Oct. 20 at 7pm when the Mt. Holly Lamp Parade steps off at Ida Rankin Elementary School, continues down West Central Avenue, turns right on South Main Street, and ends at the newly christened permanent trellis system for the Mount Holly Farmer’s Market. During the parade, folks will see over 20 dazzling and illuminated lamps marched through town.

The parade will be led by members of the official drumline of the Panthers, PurrCussion. Kathleen Doody of Toronto, Canada will be on hand to judge the lanterns for the prizes. Doody is an artist with over 20 years of lantern-making experience, and conducts lantern parades internationally The lamps will include such fanciful creations as the legendary flying horse Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress and Irish artist Olive Stack with the Pegasus lantern that will be Pegasus, a huge fish, a giant snake with hoisted at the Mt. Holly Lantern Parade.

by local students from schools like Ida Rankin Elementary, local artists like Diane Pike, and Awaken Gallery owner Emily Andress. They are made of wire and willow sticks with translucent paper stretched over the framework.

Pitching in to lend her expertise to the lamp parade project has been Irish artist Olive Stack who is a resident of and art gallery owner in Listowel, County Kerry, Ireland. Stack’s jaunt to Mt. Holly to work with the lantern parade was sponsored by the Mt. Holly Community Development Foundation.

“I love Mt. Holly,” Stack said. “The people are so warm and friendly. It’s a lot like home.”

During her stay, Stack has been working with other artists and Ida Rankin students as they craft their lanterns. She’s also making one that will represent the 1916 Mt. Island Mill bell that’s at the Mt. Holly Historical Society.

Stack and Andress met several years ago and are close friends.

“I got the idea for the lamp parade after seeing one in Paris,” said Andress.

Four arrested at Jail-A-Thon On Saturday, three elected officials and one city employee were arrested on nefarious charges, placed in manacles, and hauled by paddywagon to the ‘Jail House' at Patriots Park during Mountaineer Days.

The three elected officials arrested were Mayor Scott Neisler and Council members David Allen and Rodney Gordon. Each had to raise $200 bond within two hours. Due to rowdy behavior, Rodney Gordon had to raise additional bond money. Mayor Neisler implicated Karen Tucker who was subsequently arrested for "Impersonating the City Clerk." Tucker had to raise a $25.00 bond.

All funds raised benefit the Kings Mountain Historical Museum's history education boxes that highlight local history in Kings Mountain schools. Sarah Lunch, Museum Director, and Curator commented,

Fans of chickens, on the hoof, not fried or baked, in Belmont, have plenty to crow about.

At its last meeting, the Belmont city council approved an ordinance that will allow those so inclined to keep a small flock of chickens on their property- with provisions.

The approved ordinance will allow the keeping of up to four chickens in the rear yard area if all requirements can be met. Requirements include setbacks from side and rear property lines, chicken housing requirements, cleanliness, and permitting.

The city got involved in the chicken business by meeting with local residents who gave feedback on a draft of the ordinance. Lara Worden, area agent from the NC Cooperative Extension Service, also offered suggestions.

Keystone Powdered Metals’ employees see PINK in Breast Cancer fight

Community Revival

Both Terry L. Stutter, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Plant Manager, and Pam Crotts, Keystone Powdered Metal Company’s Human Resource Manager, take great pride in the fact their co-workers and staffs are seeing pink nowadays.

They’re not alone. Their co-workers do too as was evidenced by what they did to honor those who fight the fight.

So, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month they and a number of their day and night shift employees donned pink tee-shirts to let all know

they’re a team when it comes to the fight to battle and hopefully find a cure for the disease.

For plant manager Shutter it’s personal as his wife Donna is a breast cancer survivor.

“My wife and I have been supporters of the Susan G. Komen Foundation for years,” said Shutter in a recent interview at the Keystone plant.

“This is just another opportunity to come together and do this in out plant.”

Crotts agreed, adding, “And we love the camaraderie due to the shirts.”

Crotts, a Dallas native, has two kids and four grandchildren, said she was awed by

which are steel-toed for safety’s sake, to show how even tough items like that can be important in the fight against breast cancer!”, she noted.

Top 3 scams and how to avoid them Provided by BBB of the Southern Piedmont

The Master Gardener Group of Gaston County invite the public to attend their February program at the Gaston County Citizens Resource Center, 1303 Cherryville Hwy (NC Hwy 279), Dallas, NC, Thursday, February 21, 2019, 10:00 – 11:00 am. Mr. Jenks Farmer will discuss his garden design experiences with maintaining period gardens while meeting the modern needs of such gardens. Farmer grew up on an eighteenth-century family farm, and as a child he learned that plants serve specific purposes.

He holds a BS degree in Horticulture from Clemson University and a MS degree in Public Garden Management and Forestry from the University of Washington. His career has involved the design of major public and private gardens, operating a successful nursery, traveling to foreign lands to study plant life, authoring books

Topic #1: Online Romance Scams Many people set a goal to find love in the new year and dating sites report that the first Sunday in January is the busiest day of the year. Romance scams are different from other scams.

They prey on lonely people looking to connect with someone and can often take months to develop to the point where money changes hands. The emotional harm to the victim can be even more painful than the monetary loss.

The spread of online dating sites and apps has made this fraud even easier to commit. Victims in the US and Canada have reported losing nearly $1 billion over the last three years, and BBB estimates there may be more than a million victims in the U.S. alone. Because most people do not file complaints about romance scams with BBB or law enforcement, this may just be the tip of the iceberg. If you plan to join a dating app or site, consider the following: • Do your research • Determine what you’re looking for • Determine who you’re looking for

• Compare pricing/services • Be cautious https://www.bbb. org/article/news-releases/17057-online-romancescams-a-bbb-study-onhow-scammers-use-impersonation-blackmail-andtrickery-to-steal-from-unsuspecting-daters Topic #2: Social Security Scams A growing scam aiming to get peoples Social Security numbers and funds include individuals pretending to be from the Social Security Administration (SSA). In 2017, 3,200 people reported SSA imposter scams to the FTC equating to loses of roughly $210,000 but in 2018 that number has grown drastically to 35,000 people reporting loses of $10 million.

Scammers will say their SSN has been suspended because of suspicious activity or because it’s been involved in a crime. Sometimes, the scammer wants you to confirm your SSN to reactivate it or sometimes they will say your bank account is about to be seized, with what to do to keep it safe. And your caller ID often shows the real SSA phone number when they call – but they are faking that number. Here’s what to know:

• Your SSN is not about to be suspended and your bank accounts aren’t about to be seized • SSA will never threaten your benefits or tell you to wire money, send cash, etc.

• The real SSA number is 1-800-772-1213, if you’re worried about what the scammer said call that number to confirm with the real SSA • Never give your SSN to anyone or your bank account info Topic #3: BBB Tips for Joining a Gym in the New Year Deciding to a join a gym is just the first step in your fitness journey. Don't just sign up at the first gym you see. Before you sign on the dotted line, do your research! To get the most from your gym membership, consider these tips from BBB: • Determine your fitness goals • Figure out your priorities • Check bbb.org • Take a tour • Ask about free trials • Don’t feel coerced • Understand the terms and calculate the true costs https://www.bbb.org/ article/tips/13250-bbb-tipjoining-a-gym?bbbid=0473

By JIM MILLER Editor

How to Save Money on Your Medication Dear Savvy Senior, I take several medications for multiple health conditions and the prices keep going up, even with insurance. Can you recommend any tips that can help me save?

Price-Gouged Patty

insurance card. Once you have this information, share it with your doctor so, if possible, he or she can prescribe you medications in the lower-cost tiers. Or, they can help you get coverage approval from your insurer if you need a more expensive drug.

Dear Patty, The rising cost of prescription drugs is a problem that stings millions of Americans. While there’s no one solution, there are some different strategies and resources that can help reduce your drug costs, so you can afford what you need.

Here are several to consider.

You also need to find out if your drug plan offers preferred pharmacies or offers a mail-order service. Buying your meds from these sources can save you some money too.

If you have insurance, know your drug formulary: Most drug plans today have formularies (a list of medications they cover) that place drugs into different “tiers.” Drugs in each tier have a different cost. A drug in a lower tier will generally cost you less than a drug in a higher tier, and higher tier drugs may require you to get permission or try another medication first before you can use it.

To get a copy of your plan’s formulary, visit your drug plan’s website or call the 800 number on the back of your

Talk to your doctor: Ask your doctor if any of the medications you’re currently taking can be reduced or stopped. And, find out if the ones you are taking are available in generic form. About 80 percent of all premium drugs on the market today have a lower-cost alternative.

Switching could save you between 20 and 90 percent.

Ask for a three-month prescription: This can be significantly cheaper for drugs you take long-term. If you use insurance, you’ll pay one co-pay rather than three.

Split your pills: Ask your doctor if the

pills you’re taking can be cut in half. Pill splitting allows you to get two months’ worth of medicine for the price of one.

If you do this, you’ll need to get a prescription from your doctor for twice the dosage you need.

Find and use online discounts: Start by trying GoodRx.com, BlinkHealth.com or WeRx.org. They will ask for the name of the drug, the dose, the number of pills, and where you live. Then they will show you what you can expect to pay at various pharmacies if you use their discount coupons or vouchers, which you can print out or download to your phone to show a pharmacist.

Pay cash: Most generic medications cost less if you don’t use your insurance.

For example, chains like Target and Walmart offer discount-drug programs that sell generics for as little as $4 for a 30-day supply and $10 for a 90-day supply if you pay out-of-pocket. While some insurance companies charge a $10 copay for a 30-day supply.

Also ask your pharmacy if they offer a drug discount card program and compare costs with your insurance plan. You can

also find free drug discount cards online at sites like NeedyMeds.org, which can be used at most U.S. pharmacies.

Shop online: You can also save by using an online pharmacy like HealthWarehouse.com but be sure to use an online retailer that operates within the U.S. and is licensed. The site should display the VIPPS symbol, which shows it’s a Verified Internet Pharmacy Practice Site.

Search for drug assistance programs: If your income is limited, you can probably get help through drug assistance programs offered through pharmaceutical companies, government agencies and charitable organizations. To find these types of programs use sites like BenefitsCheckUp.org, PatientAdvocate.org, RxAssist.org and NeedyMeds.org.
