Clyde Ledbetter, 69, retired after 27 years with the North Carolina Department of Transpor- LEDBETTER tation, filed Friday as an unaffiliated candidate to run against two-term Incumbent Sheriff Alan Norman in the November general election. Norman, a Democrat, was running unopposed.
As an unaffiliated candidate, Ledbetter was required to collect signatures of four percent of registered voters in Cleveland County. That meant Ledbetter needed 2,561 signatures May 8 to have his name on the November ballot. Cleveland County Elections Director Clifton Philbeck said Ledbetter collected 2,604 valid signatures. ‘If I am elected Sheriff of Cleveland County I will not be one of the “good old
boys,’’ Ledbetter said in a filing statement. I have no interest in a buddy system and no personal connections or arrangements within the current law enforcement community. I don’t believe the sheriff should be a partisan position and I have no special interests other than a special interest in our citizens.’’ Ledbetter said it’s rumored that he might not have enough law enforcement experience and in a See LEDBETTER, Page 7A

Nine cancer survivors are “putting the pieces back together” in LIVESTRONG at the Kings Mountain Family YMCA. The women have completed six weeks of a 12week program offered free by the YMCA with the LIVESTRONG Foundation. “Many people facing cancer find that it fragments the physical, emotional, spiritual and financial aspects of their lives and leave them holding the pieces,’’ said YMCA Wellness Director Daron Dwyer and
one of the instructors for the program, adding, “But this Spring at the YMCA a group of survivors is putting the pieces back together.’’ Dwyer said the nine women have turned their collective strength toward a new horizon of holistic health and taking charge of their lives to put the pieces back together. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA participants get to enjoy cardiovascular conditioning, strength training, balance and flexibility exercises all facilitated by
certified instructors including Stephanie Wilson and Lee Sherrill. Evaluation includes fitness and quality of life assessments before and after participation. In addition to the physical benefits the program focuses on the emotional well-being of survivors and their families by providing a supportive community where people affected by cancer can connect during treatment and beyond. The program has served more than 30,000 cancer See SURVIVORS, Page 7A

10th District Democrats at convention Saturday T h e Saturday annual convention of U. S. Tenth Congressional D i s t r i c t BETSY WELLS Democrats was the sixth presided over by District Chair Betsy Wells of Grover, and she’s as energized as ever. “I really believe what we taught in civics classes,” says the retired teacher. Elections and voting are fundamental to democracy, and politics provide ways for like-minded folks to work together for positive change.” The “like-minded folks” at the May 5 convention in Shelby were delegates from the eight counties of District 10, which comprises all of Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Polk, and Rutherford counties, and parts of Catawba, Iredell, and Buncombe countie The convention was held in the auditorium of Shelby Middle School, decked out in red, white, and blue. The convention focused on ballot success for Democratic candidates in the November general election. Speaker David Wilson Brown
of Gaston County sounded the call: every vote for positive change will make a difference. He is the flag-bearer candidate for Tenth District Democrats. He is challenging Republican Patrick McHenry for the U. S House seat. “We need a Washington that works, and one works for us,” he said. In addition to the several candidates from across the district recognized, two statewide judicial candidates were in Shelby to greet convention-goers. Attorney Anita Earls of Durham is an announced candidate vigorously campaigning for a seat on the N. C. Supreme Court. Incumbent John Arrowood of Charlotte is seeking a full term on the N. C. Court of Appeals, having been previously appointed to fill a vacancy by Gov. Roy Cooper. Before the convention began, candidates had the opportunity to learn more about campaign strategies and communications, in a workshop led by Doug Wilson and Andy Millard. Wilson, also a convention speaker, is deputy executive director of the N. C. Democratic Party. Millard, a former candidate himself, now offers coaching and counsel for other Dems
seeking office. During the convention business session, delegates approved resolutions to forward for consideration at the N. C. State Democratic Convention in June. Dealing primarily with polity and party organization, the resolutions grew “from the grassroots” of Democratic precinct meetings and county conventions. Making their way forward, such resolutions eventually help share the Democratic Party’s platform, Wells said. The Cleveland County Sheriff’s Department presented the flags in ceremony as the convention began. Shelby Mayor Stan Anthony welcomed convention visitors, encouraging them to enjoy the city and county. The Cleveland County Democratic Party, chaired by Nick Carpenter, was host for the event, and its volunteers helped with logistics including bagged lunches for early arrivals. An auction of donated items provided fun and funds for the district’s campaign efforts. “We came away motivated, energized, and ready for the campaign ahead,” Wells said.

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one. –Hans Selye
Are Americans Crazy?
Doyle and Anita Campbell welcome guests to the Henry Howser House at Kings Mountain National Military Park.
Unique piece of history open to public Saturday The Brigade of Friends of the Kings Mountain National LORETTA Military COZART Park invite the public to the Henry Howser House on Saturday, May 12th from 11 am until 4 pm. If you haven’t seen this unique piece of history you are in for a treat. This 1803 stone dwelling is only open to the public only two times each year. This is a wonderful opportunity for the public to explore the house and grounds. The grounds are unique because they have tiers for farming, which wasn’t a common feature in farms of that day. The house was built
by a Revolutionary War veteran, stonemason, and distiller Henry Howser, Sr. The thick stone walls and stonework convey prosperity and affluence at a time when most were living in log houses. The home remained in the Howser family for generations and was one of the more prosperous farms in the region. It is now owned by the Kings Mountain National Military Park. The Brigade of Friends will host the open house. Members dress in period clothing and help tell the story of the Howser House. Activities for children will be available. Artist Thomas Kelly Pauley will show his display his Revolutionary War Generals collection,
discuss his research in choosing a subject, and share the details on some of his new projects and exhibits. The Howser House is not handicap accessible and parking is limited. Visitors may reach the house from Rock House Road, off SC 216 (Battleground Road). Parking is available. A shuttle service from the parking area will be provided to the house. Good walking shoes are recommended. The event is free and open to the public from 11 am to 4 pm on Saturday, May 12th. In the event of inclement weather, the house will not be opened. For more information about this event, call 864-936-7921 or visit www.nps.gov.
Looking back (Looking back from the Thursday, May 7, 1992 edition of The Kings Mountain Herald) After a year’s worth of work and preparation Rick Gage’s Crusade comes to Kings Mountain May 10-13 at John Gamble Stadium. Retired N. C. State Patrol district supervisor E. T. Van Hoy was the clear winner among 11 Democratic candidates for three seats up for grabs on the Cleveland County Board of Commissioners Tuesday as a light turnout of voters went to the polls. Joe Cabaniss and
Cecil Dickson could face a run-off if either fourth runner incumbent Jack Spangler or fifth runner Sam Gold call for a run-off within seven days with the Cleveland County Board of Elections. Veteran Kings Mountain Legislator J. Ollie Harris won the Democratic nomination for the new 37th District Senate seat created by redistricting Tuesday. Harris and Republican Dennis Davis, Crest High School teacher and a political newcomer, will face -off in the general election in November. Harris has built a rep-
utation for expertise in mental health programs during 20 years in the North Carolina Senate.

other nations away in the depression factor, leading some to suggest that depression is a “luxury disorder”. There is a zero cure for mental health issues. However, here are some suggestions for improvement. Have a daily schedule. Get up and go to bed routinely. Get adequate sleep but you don’t need more than seven to eight hours. Engage in meaningful activity daily. Work a job. Work in a garden. Clean your house. Mow grass. Pull weeds. Go to school. Have some type of daily exercise. Breaking a little sweat every day is healthy. Engage in meaningful relationships at church, a club, work or with friends and family. We all need real people in our lives. Limit your technology, television and social media time. Too much can drain and depress you. If you have mental illness or family members suffering from mental illness get it out on the table and start talking about coping, a strategic plan, counseling and working together to make life manageable. Ignoring it only results in everybody going crazy. Credits: World Health Organization and The Atlantic. (Dr. Glenn Mollette is the author of 12 books.

Time for Digital Spring Cleaning! Spring in full swing and while clearing clutter is an annual ritual for many PAGE households, the CASTRODALE National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) and Better Business Bureau (BBB) have teamed up to remind all consumers not to be digital hoarders. By conducting a digital spring cleaning and taking care of overdue online maintenance, you will be safer and more secure against losing personal information and becoming a victim of identity theft. In September of last year, a single breach affected nearly 148 million Americans by exposing Social Security numbers, birthdates, addresses and other personal information. Unfortunately, the average consumer is doing very little to protect their data, but there are easy ways to
Published by Community First Media, Inc. Lib Stewart - Managing Editor lib.kmherald@gmail.com 704-739-7496
change that. First, keep a clean machine. Ensure all software on internet-connected devices is up to date to reduce risk of infection from malware. As for your login information, your usernames and passwords are not enough to protect key accounts like email, banking and social media. Begin your spring cleaning by fortifying your online accounts and enabling the strongest authentication tools available, such as biometrics, security keys or a unique one-time code through an app on your mobile device. Don’t forget about your mobile devices! Most of us have apps we no longer use and some that need updating. Delete unused apps and keep others current, including the operating system on your mobile device. An added benefit of deleting unused apps is more storage space and longer battery life. Actively manage your location services, Bluetooth, microphone and camera – making sure apps
use them appropriately. Perform a good, thorough review of your online files. Copy important data to a secure cloud site or another computer or drive where it can be safely stored. Clean up your email by saving only what you need and unsubscribing from emails you no longer want. Review the privacy and security settings on websites you use to be sure that they remain set to your comfort level for sharing. Recent surveys have indicated that half of Americans still have not checked their credit reports since the previously referenced breach. A digital refresh is a relatively simple process and now is a great time to start.

Hapstudy of the fruit of the piness is temporary; God’s Spirit. Remember, we must joy is eternal. In the world, view the fruit of the Spirit however, it is a struggle through the lens of God’s to keep our focus on God
in our day to day business. For me, too often I let my circumstances dictate, direct, and control my emotions. Instead, I need to look deeper and keep my eyes on God. If I rely on my circumstances or worldly accolades to bring me joy, I will forever be disappointed. If I rely on God’s presence in my life, I will find joy in Christ. I have heard people use the phrase, “God wants me to be happy.” Though perhaps well-intentioned, God does not want you to be happy. God wants you to be holy holy and set apart for God’s glory. However, when you seek to be holy, you will find wholeness in God. Then, you and I will dis-
cover joy beyond anything the world can produce. When Christ is living in us, we can find joy in a sunrise or in conversation. We find joy in the ordinary because the joy of the Lord is living inside of us. When you and I allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, cultivate us, we will produce a harvest of joy. Please understand, trials will come, and we will experience disappointment. Worry, depression, and frustration can set in and cause us to lose focus on God. We must hold fast along with the Psalmist, “When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” (Psalm 94:19) Do not allow
the world to rob you of the joy in Christ Jesus. This week, spend time with the Lord in prayer. Thank God for the fruit of the Holy Spirit and how he offers us joy. Recognize, God gives us joy, not for spiritual highs. Rather, joy is a gift and should be a consistent response of our lives. This week, find joy in creation and in the creator. Find joy in knowing God is all-sufficient. Take joy in serving others. Find joy in your personal worship time and resting in God’s presence. As we journey together this week, look for opportunities to let God renew your joy.

Said one survivor “Cancer sapped me of my strength, energy and self-confidence. Livestrong at the YMCA and its instructors helped me challenge myself, working through the diversity of the Y’s programs. I may not be 100% yet but I’m getting there. Thank you for prodding me to do more and making it a lot of fun too.” Another participant said, “After a cancer diagnosis, during treatment and for a along time after a person is often weakened, not only emotionally, but physically as well., Treatments can knock a person

S. patent and published a book with Amazon.com, “The Search for Truth’’ which includes his thoughts on political and religious controversies with the bottom line that Jesus Chris is the answer to all the world’s problems. Ledbetter was among the last graduates of the Class of 1967 at No. 3 High School before merger with Crest High and was student body president. He earned his B. S. in Civil Engineering from NC State in December 1972 and went to work full time for the Department of Transportation. He retired in 1999 after 27 years in full time employment and four years summer employment. In August he and his wife, Janet Hester Ledbetter, will celebrate their 47th anniversary. Their four sons are Brian who runs the family farm in the Mt. Sinai
community, Stephen and wife, Audria, and the late Andy Ledbetter, who died at age 15 in a car crash in summer1995 on the last day of school. A deacon in Mt. Sinai Baptist Church, he puts his construction hobby to work on various church projects. Construction work and writing are his hobbies. Ledbetter’s campaign committee will include both Democrats and Repub licans as well as Independents. His goal is to start a dialog with both parties and close the divide between the parties. “I’m not running for a Party, I’m running for the people,’’ he says. Ledbetter believe a Sheriff’s job is to be an administrator. Elected officials, he said, earn the trust of others to get their votes.
down. For me, my stamina, range of motion, flexibility and weight have all been dramatically affected. The Livestrong program recognizes this knock down that the body takes following a diagnosis, but not in a condescending “let’s feel sorry for the cancer people kind of way.” They pushed but not hard. They encouraged but not in a patronizing manner. They accepted each person’s ability level without judging. They were just really nice and more importantly helpful in trying to help each participant achieve his/her personal goals.” Research from the Yale Cancer Center and Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Institute confirmed that Livestrong at the YMCA participants experience improved fitness and quality of life as well as significant decreases in cancer-related fatigue. The 12-week program is two 90-minute sessions
per week, which includes a wellness program suited to the individual ability level. In addition to the initial benefits, it has been shown to lessen the odds of certain types of cancer returning. Funded locally by the Cleveland County Family YMCA and community partners, the program is currently offered at no cost to participants and includes a family membership to the Y for the session’s duration. LIVESTRONG at the YMCA is recommended for those recently finished with cancer treatment, but enrollment is handled on a case-by-case basis. Potential participants must be a cancer survivor, age 18 or older, consult their oncologist or a hospital oncologist representative for medical clearance before joining the program. They must have a strong personal desire and commitment to participate in the program and must attend a minimum of 80% of classes.

KM’s Mr. Soccer Dan Potter to be inducted into Sports Hall of Fame (The Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame dinner and induction ceremony is Saturday, May 12 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. You are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance at $15 each at Paul Ingram’s Barber Shop downtown or Kings Mountain High School. If the event is not sold out in advance a limited number of tickets will be available at the door.) It would be a stretch of the imagination to say that Dan Potter was born with a soccer ball at his foot. But, it’s very accurate to say that for most of his life one has been there. As a high school player in St. Louis, to a four-year college career at the University of South Carolina, and 25 years coaching in Kings Mountain he has spent a lot of time at a soccer field. Potter, who built the soccer programs at Kings Mountain Middle and Kings Mountain high schools and despite retirement from Cleveland County Schools last year, is still very active in Kings Mountain soccer. If anyone deserves the title of “Mr. Kings Mountain Soccer” it’s Potter. Potter is the winningest varsity coach ever at KMHS with a career record of 346-188-21, including 213-55-9 with the Lady Mountaineers. His men’s team won back-to-back conference championships in 1991 and ’92 and his women’s team won championships in seven of his 11 years at the helm and had one team play for the state championship. It all got off to a slow start, though. “I started with the boys varsity in 1989,” Potter recalled. “I remember sitting in the principal’s office for an interview with Mrs. (Jackie) Lavender and Athletic Director (Dennis) Hicks. Coach Hicks was looking at me like I was a crazy guy. I had to reassure him I wasn’t after football players. He had a look on his face like he was saying ‘I can’t believe I’m having to put up with soccer.’” Soccer, like many other
Dan Potter, left, talks with athletic director Mark Latham during a Mountaineer practice session. sports, evolved after Title IX required equal number of sports for girls and boys. Before that most schools only offered boys and girls basketball, baseball, football, boys golf, boys tennis and boys track. So, when a new sport began there were usually growing pains. “I coached the boys for eight years,” Potter noted. “One of the real highlights was that for our first game my first year we scrimmaged Ashbrook on the middle school soccer field, which is now the football practice field. They came over here on a charter bus and got off with bags and sweat shorts. We didn’t even have jerseys yet. They looked like they were going to the World Cup finals. It was a big loss but a great introduction to what soccer really was. “During my time at the junior high the first year, we played three teams each and won every game. The guys thought they were fantastic. When Ashbrook took us behind the woodshed the kids were in shock. “But in four years we beat Ashbrook on our field 1-0. I will never forget it. It was incredible. It was one of the highlights of my career. The growth our program took in such a short time was incredible. For those guys that started out at the junior high won the conference their junior and senior years, it was a great learning curve and a lot of
success.” After eight years with the Mountaineers, Potter switched to coaching girls because his daughters were wanting to play soccer. He began the girls program at the middle school and stayed there two years, then started the girls program at the high school. “I started when my daughter Meghan was a freshman and I had them for 11 years, from 1999 until 2009. “I gave it up because my mother-in-law was ill. Two years later I came back to assist with the girls and serve as head coach of the boys. I transitioned with Coach Erik Price and I stayed with the boys team six years the second time.” Potter’s best year with the girls was his last. They set a record for wins (24-2), won the Western Regional championship and lost to White Oak in the state championship game. “They won the state four years in a row and had a bunch of seniors,” Potter recalled. “Eleven of their players played Division I soccer, so it wasn’t that shameful. It was just bad timing for us. One of their players was the State Player of the Year. They had a dynasty. We were only down 1-0 with 20 minutes left but they got a handful of goals at the end.” Potter’s ladies won conference crowns in 1999, 2002, 2003, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009. He had four teams win over 20
Dan Potter is congratulated by a fan after a big win at John Gamble Stadium. games. “When we went to the state finals we didn’t have that many seniors,” he noted. “Most of the main players were juniors but all of them were super talented. Ramey Kerns (who went on to lead the nation in scoring at East Tennessee State), was a junior on that team. We also had people like Megan Reynolds and Megan Loftin, Ashley Witherspoon, Alex Edwards, Brooke Hayes, Mallory Mansfield and others. That was the most talented junior class I ever had.” Potter also enjoyed his time with the boys team. His last two years the Mountaineers won 18 and 19 games, respectively, which at the time were the most ever in a single season. “We had the two most successful seasons ever at that point,” he said. “I hated to give it up because I knew the next year we were going to be better.” In all, Potter spent 25 years coaching in KM before retiring last summer and taking a position at Clover, SC Alternative School. But, don’t think that’s the end of Potter’s involvement in soccer. He and his son-in-law, Tyler Deaton, and numerous assistant coaches have started a youth soccer club to teach valuable skills to five- and six-year-olds in the area. The program is paying great dividends for the YMCA program and in
from the Hall of Fame Committee. She said, ‘You got in?’ and I said yes. My brother-in-law said, ‘they had to put you in. You coached longer that anybody.’” Potter said the KM soccer programs could not have been successful had it not been for the hard work of his players and assistant coaches. “I had so many unbelievable coaches that helped me,” he said. “One was Conrad Martin. He was my first assistant coach and he was so much fun to be around. He’s a great guy. “One of my assistant coaches later in my career was one of my very first players, Sirimaha Rithipong. One of my great joys in coaching was to see guys come back home to give back to the sport. He’s a super guy and he’s also working in the KM Soccer Club. “Another assistant coach who was very important in my taking on the guys a second time was Ted Trahan. He is a ray of hope. He put all of his military training to good use to get the kids to produce. He’s incredible. “Another one is Su Sidavong. He helped me a countless number of years with the girls program. “These are four coaches in particular who did outstanding work and were a big part of the success that we had. The kids deserve to have those kind of people working with them.”
the not-too-distant future the middle and high school programs will see the benefits. “It is a developmental league that started in January,” Potter noted. “We have over 20 volunteer coaches and it’s age appropriate drills and it’s only $39 a year and that includes Gatorade for 28 sessions and a T-shirt. We have a couple of sponsors that help out with the cost so we can provide kids an opportunity. “We have 48 kids that started in January and the Y’s numbers have more than doubled. Now, there are over 300 kids playing at the Y. We’re real excited about what’s happening.” Potter sees this as an excellent opportunity for youngsters to develop their talents without having to pay the high cost of travel ball. “A lot of parents pay a big chunk of change to put their kids on travel teams and sometimes it can be a burden,” Potter said. “My daughter Susie had to go to Charlotte and she developed greatly, but we wanted something for young kids that wouldn’t be so expensive.” Potter said going into the Hall of Fame is humbling. “I smiled for a long time” after being notified, he said. “My brother-inlaw was here and when I got off the phone my wife asked me who I was talking to and I told her someone

KM softball finishes second in Big South, enters state playoffs The Big South 3A Conference softball tournament went “according to Hoyle” last week with the regular season champion Crest Lady Chargers defeating second place Kings Mountain for the championship. The tournament finale, though, was much closer than the two teams’ regular season games as the Chargers had to hold off a Kings Mountain comeback bid to win 5-3. Crest jumped out to a 5-0 lead before the KM ladies came back to make a nail-
biter out of it. Home runs by Cassi Melton and Jozie Nail cut the lead to 5-2 in the fourth inning, and it could have been more if not for an outstanding catch in right field that saved a run Kings Mountain scored its final run in the sixth inning on Nail’s RBI single. With runners on first and third base, Crest pitcher Sydney Kale struck out the next two batters to end the inning. She then retired the Mountaineers in order in the seventh to nail
down the win. Kale finished with nine strikeouts and gave up only five hits, two each to Melton and Nail. Summer Deaton went the distance for Kings Mountain, scattering seven hits while fanning five. The Lady Mountaineers advanced to the championship game with a nail-biter against Stuart Cramer on Wednesday, 8-7 at KM’s Lancaster Field. Cramer, which was the only BSC team other than

Cassi Melton came to the plate with two teammates on the bases and crushed one over the fence to account for the winning margin. Kings Mountain will enter the state 3A playoffs Wednesday at 6 p.m. at home against West Caldwell. The Lady Mountaineers go into the game as the 13th seed with a 16-7 record. West Caldwell is seeded 20th and is 16-8. The winner will advance to a second round game against the winner of the Carson-Stuart Cramer contest. Carson is seeded #4 with a 16-6 record and Cramer is #29 with a 16-8 mark. If Kings Mountain and Carson both win, the second round game would be at Carson. If KM and Cramer win, the game would be at Kings Mountain. Parkwood is the #1 seed with a perfect 20-0 record.
Kings Mountain Middle’s tennis team continued to struggle in matches last week, losing to Crest 9-0 and Shelby 6-3. The Patriots have had some tough breaks as two of their top players, Adam Guy and Ben Bridges, have been lost to injuries. Against Crest, Aydin Roper moved up to number one and lost 8-0.

Kings Mountain’s Rece Guy works the ball downfield in last week’s game with Stuart Cramer at Gamble Stadium.
Force edges Fayetteville Kings Mountain Force jumped out to an early 20-6 lead at halftime but had to hold on to defeat the Fayetteville Commandoes 26-22 Saturday. The Commandoes came back in the second half to take a 22-20 lead with nine minutes to play. The Force was not to be denied,
though, as quarterback Michael Roberts took the team downfield to reclaim the lead with 2:45 left in the game. Fayetteville made it interesting as they drove the ball to the Force 22 yard line before giving it up on downs with just over a minute to play. A few kneeling
plays proved to be enough for the Force to claim their sixth win of the year and maintain second place in the Coastal Alliance League. This week Kings Mountain travels to Durham. The next home game will be a first round playoff game in three weeks at Shu Carlton Stadium.
Goff one back after first round of state 3A golf tournament Kings Mountain High senior Alex Goff was one stroke out of the lead after the first round of the NCHSAA 3A golf tournament Monday. Goff shot a two-overpar 74 to trail Garret Clark
of Williams with a oneover 73. Tied with Goff for second was Sam Davidson of Asheboro with a 74. Logan Costner of Crest was another shot back and tied for fourth with a 75.
Kings Mountain’s Tyler Withers shot an 8-over-par 80 and was tied for 35th. The final 18-hole round was being played Tuesday but was still underway at The Herald’s press time.
By JIM MILLER Editor
‘Extra Help’ Program Helps Seniors With Their Medication Costs Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any special Medicare programs that help seniors with their medication costs? My 74-year-old mother, who lives primarily on her Social Security, takes several highpriced drugs that sap her income even with her Medicare drug plan. Looking for Assistance Dear Looking, Yes, there’s a low-income subsidy program called Extra Help that can assist seniors on a tight budget with paying for their premiums, deductible and co-payments in their Medicare (Part D) prescription drug plan. Currently around 10 million people are receiving this subsidy, but another two million may qualify for it and don’t even realize it. They’re missing out on hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars in savings each year. Changes in the law make it easier than ever to qualify for the Extra Help program. Even if your mom
applied and didn’t qualify before, she may be eligible now. The amount of additional assistance she would receive depends on her income and assets. If she qualifies for help, she’ll pay no more than $3.35 for a generic drug and $8.35 for a brand-name drug in 2018. To get the subsidy, your mom’s assets can’t be more than $14,100 (or $28,150 for married couples living together). Bank accounts, stocks and bonds count as assets, but her home, vehicle, personal belongings, life insurance and burial plots do not.
How To Apply There are three ways to apply for Extra Help: online at SSA.gov/prescriptionhelp; by calling Social Security at 800-772-1213; or by visiting her local Social Security office. The application form is easy to complete, but you’ll need your mom’s Social Security number and information about her bank balances, pensions and investments. Social Security will review her application and send her a letter within a few weeks letting you know whether she qualifies.
Also, your mom’s monthly income can’t be more than $1,538 (or $2,078 for married couples). If your mom supports a family member who lives with her, or lives in Alaska or Hawaii, her income can be higher.
If your mom doesn’t qualify for Extra Help, she may still be able to get help from a state pharmacy assistance program or a patient assistance program. Visit BenefitsCheckUp.org and click on “Medications” to search for these programs.
In addition, the government won’t count any money if your mom receives help for household expenses like food, rent, mortgage payments, utilities and property taxes.
Other Medicare Assistance If your mom is eligible for Extra Help, she may also qualify for help with her other Medicare expenses through her state’s Medicare Savings Program.
State Medicaid programs partner with the federal government, so income and asset qualifications vary depending on where she lives. Medicare Savings Programs will pay her entire Medicare Part B premium each month. Some also pay for Part B coinsurance and copayments, depending on her income. Contact your mom’s state Medicaid office to determine if she qualifies for benefits in her state. You can also get help through her State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free one-on-one Medicare counseling in person or over the phone. To locate a SHIP counselor in your area, visit ShiptaCenter.org or call the eldercare locator at 800-677-1116. 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.

Doran Mill being demolished Spring Building ing from approximately $500,000 to $2.5 Million with the lowest bid being from Safeco Environmental, Inc. at $493,832. Low bid due diligence was completed which resulted in the award of the project to Safeco Environmental. “Citizens have voiced concerns to Commissioners that this dilapidated property, located in a gateway corridor, does not reflect to visitors all of the positive things happening in Cleveland County. Just miles from Shelby’s central business district and the Washburn Switch Industrial Corridor, its connection to walking trails and proximity to the future
Highway 74 bypass, make this property ideal for development”, said Chairman Eddie Holbrook. Included as part of the overall project, Cleveland County has hired ColeJenest & Stone to complete a highest and best use analysis of the property. A highest and best use analysis looks at the reasonable, probable and legal use of land that results in the highest return on investment. The contribution to the community and community development goals, as well as the benefits of that use to individual property owners will be taken into account. Removal of the water tank located on the property was
not included as part of the demolition project. ColeJenest & Stone will determine if the water tank is structurally safe and how it could potentially be used in the future use of the property. Work is expected to begin within the next two weeks and is expected to be complete by mid-fall. Traffic along Highway 226 will be diverted on Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 8:00 pm - 6:00 am throughout the duration of the project. The contractor will follow all traffic control and signage requirements by the NCDOT.
AND
Cleveland County Commissioners voted unanimously last week to award the demolition and removal of the former Doran Mill on Polkville Road to Safeco Environmental, Inc. As a result of an initiative that began in 2015, last November, Commissioners directed county staff to develop a request for proposals for site remediation and clean-up of the Doran property. Over the next several months, a bid package was developed, site due diligence and permits were obtained and interested contractors attended a mandatory site visit. In February, staff received nine bids rang-

The Good When we work together, great things happen. Like the creation of Levine Children’s Hospital, ranked as one of the best in the country for pediatric cardiology and heart surgery by US News & World Report. A transplant program comes to life, with survival and rejection rates that beat national averages by 10%. Clinical quality improvement measures, like the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery Program (ERAS), deliver improved patient safety, better outcomes and cost savings, and draw international recognition. Orthopedic pain control protocols improve patient care and help prevent opioid abuse.
