Chad Gunter, Jr. wows the crowd By Loretta Cozart Last Thursday Chad Gunter, Jr. walked into Kings Mountain’s Life Enrichment Center and with that, “Elvis” had entered the building. Since he was 9 yearsold, Chad has impersonated Elvis Pressley and brought smiles and happiness to those who have seen his performance. He lip-synchs the music and mesmerizes the crowd with Elvis’ signature moves. His parents are overjoyed with their son’s accomplishments. But, when he was born, doctors didn’t give Robin and Chad Gunter, Sr. much hope for baby Chad’s prognosis. “Doctors told us that he probably wouldn’t walk or talk,” said his mother. You see, Chad was diagnosed with Downs Syndrome. “I was miserable over the news, but Chad has beaten all the odds! He graduated from Grace Christian Academy on May 19th. He is the first student to finish K – 12 at the school, and two-hundred friends came to see him graduate,” she said. Chad, Sr. is equally proud of his son. “I get choked when I try to talk about it. Chad doesn’t meet a stranger; he enjoys mak-
ing others smile. It brings joy to the folks who see him perform. I wish I could be like him.” “Chad’s grandfather, Paw Paw “Honey” Gunter, loves Elvis and I guess that it rubbedoff on Chad,” his dad added. When Chad, Jr. was nine, he attended a special needs camp in Burnsville. The program had a talent show, so he decided to perform in it as Little Elvis. And he won! Well, all the kids who perform - win, but that was all Chad shows off Elvis’ signature moves. it took for Chad of attention. to get the perforWhen Elvis impersonmance “bug”.

Back-to-school for teachers By Loretta Cozart Teachers return to school today, Wednesday, August 15 and another school year has begun. The first day of class for students is August 27. Students will notice some staffing changes at both Kings Mountain Middle School and Kings Mountain High School this year. Dr. Dustin Morehead Morehead is the new principal at KMMS and Tandra Ramsey is the new Assistant Principal of Discipline at Zuniga KMHS. While Ramsey is the new in her role at the high school, as a 1992 graduate, she is very familiar
with the facility. She earned her BA in Liberal Studies from Limestone College and her MA in School Administration at Gardner-Webb University. She has served as Assistant Principal at both James Love Elementary and Graham Elementary in Shelby. When asked what makes her most excited to go to work every day, Ramsey responded, “If you've ever sat down and talked to a young person, you'll realize that they're creative, intuitive, passionate and FUN! Who wouldn't want to be around that everyday? People talk about going into education to inspire our youth, but for me, it's so that I can be inspired. It is a privilege to serve in a community with such deep traditions of excellence. I am truly humbled to be at KMHS.” Two new classroom teachers at the high school include Natasha Zuniga and Sarah Gaddis. Zuniga teaches Spanish and received her B.A. in Economics and Spanish from Smith College in Northampton, MA. Zuniga explains her unique background saying, “For a year I taught overseas at an English-immersion
kindergarten in Seoul, South Korea. I also developed and ran a sensory-motor program at River Gate Elementary School in the CMS school system. Last year I served as an interim teacher at Kings Mountain Middle School.” Sarah Gaddis is the new Athletic Trainer at the high school and teaches Physical Education and Health. She is a graduate of Gardner-Webb University, where she earned a BS in Athletic Training in 2010. Since then, she has served as an Athletic Trainer at various schools, including Ashbook, Southpoint, and East Gaston. “I tore my MCL in my junior year of high school playing soccer. As a result, I missed 17 of 21 matches that season. My high school Athletic Trainer made sure I understood what was going on during every step of my rehab. I was fascinated with anatomy and how the human body can fix itself. “It makes sense that I went into an Athletic Training career, because I have a nurturing side. I want the kids to know that I’ll be there for them on the sidelines. I want them to know someone will be there to take care of them,” Gaddis said.

OPINION

TODAY’S QUOTE:
Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible. –Tony Robbins
Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Husky Cozart Sometimes it is easy to take for granted the LORETTA place where COZART you’re from, because you think you know all there is to know about it. And, then you find out something that surprises you. A year ago, I met Scotty Price via Facebook. Scotty spent a good bit of her early life a little farther north on Gantt Street than where I grew-up. Unfortunately, the section of the block she lived on is now the Hwy. 74 Bypass.
Scotty shared that we had a couple celebrities from our town, neither of whom I was aware. I’ll share one of those celebrities with you today. Hal (Harold) England was from the area known as “the Western Front” back in the 1940’s. According to the 1940 Census, his parents were Franklin and Irene England and they lived with Hal at 14A Poplar Street, a neighborhood nestled between Kings Mountain Manufacturing and C.E. Neisler and Ida Pauline Mauney Neisler’s home. When their family got more established, they moved to a brick house on Fulton Street near Alexander.
England’s obituary, from the Time Wire Reports dated November 10, 2003, included his connection to our town. “Hal England, 71, veteran actor of stage, film and dozens of television shows from “Bewitched” to “Quantum Leap,” died Thursday of heart failure at Providence St. Joseph Medical Center in Burbank. “Born in King’s Mountain, N.C., and educated at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, England began his acting career on stage. On Broadway, he understudied Robert Morse in “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” and starred in “Love Me Little” and “Say
Could a North Carolina novel be the country’s best-loved? The Great American Read, a PBS series, is in the process of selecting America’s DG MARTIN best-loved novel. Is there a chance it could be a North Carolina book? Maybe. I will explain in a minute, but first a little about the process. The Great American Read is an eight-part broadcast series. The opening broadcast in May revealed 100 novels that are in contention for selection as America’s bestloved. The series resumes on Tuesday, September 11, and will air each week until October 23, when the final selection will be announced. These programs will, according to PBS, investigate “how and why writers create their fictional worlds, how we as readers are affected by these stories, and what these 100 different books have to say about our diverse nation and our shared human experience.” From where did this 100-book list come? First, PBS got suggestions from than 7,000 people. Then, with the aid of an adviso-
ry panel of literary industry professionals, the 100book list was developed. All were fiction. Books from other countries, such as “Don Quixote” and “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” were eligible if they had been published in English. Popular series, such as “Harry Potter” and “Lord of the Rings” were treated as a single volume. Not everyone is happy with the 100-book list. Writing in The Wall Street Journal earlier this month, Adam Kirsch noted that none of Philip Roth’s highly praised books made the list although they “would feature on many experts’ lists of the greatest American fiction.” “But then,” Kirsch continued, “he is in good company. Among the American novelists missing from the list are Nobel Prize winners like Sinclair Lewis, William Faulkner, and Saul Bellow; legendary names like Flannery O’Connor and Edith Wharton; and living greats such as Joyce Carol Oates and Jonathan Franzen.” North Carolinians looking for Thomas Wolfe, O. Henry, Reynolds Price, Ann Tyler, Charles Frazier, and our state’s other favorite literary giants will
be disappointed. These authors did not make the list. I found only three North Carolina-connected books on the list. Betty Smith wrote “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” while she was living in Chapel Hill. Armistead Maupin, author of the “Tales of the City” series, grew up in Raleigh. The only book on the list that is set in North Carolina is Nicholas Sparks’s first novel, “The Notebook.” That book was released in 1996 and immediately made The New York Times best-seller list and remained there for more than a year. The movie based on the book grossed more than $100 million. Therefore, the story is still widely remembered. Set in New Bern, there are really two stories. In one, Noah and Allie, a teenage couple, have a passionate summer love affair. But Allie’s wealthy parents discourage the connection. Her mother intercepts Noah’s letters causing him to lose touch with Allie. Years later, when Allie is engaged to a prominent Raleigh lawyer, she reads about a house Noah has restored in New Bern. She makes an quick visit, See NOVEL, Page 7A

Actors Studio and Theatre West, where he earned a Times reviewer’s praise for his appearance in, among other plays, the 1985 ‘Blind Faith.’ He was also an original member of Joseph Papp’s first season of Shakespeare in the Park in New York, appearing in ‘Romeo and Juliet,’ ‘Two Gentlemen of Verona’ and ‘Macbeth.’ While England moved to California early in his career, the fact that his hometown was mentioned in the obituary shows he had a strong emotional connection to this place, enough so that it warranted the attribution.

Do what you enjoy I started out thumping on a mandolin and then a guitar when Glenn Mollette Guest Editorial I was child. My brother had a mandolin and so I learned a few chords and then eventually learned a few chords on a guitar. My first cousin James Webb, across the road where I was raised in Stidham, Kentucky, taught me G, C and D, E and A and I was on my way. I played music and basketball as a kid and not always in that order. Music was something I could do regardless of the weather and basketball was just great exercise and fun. I only had one television channel and watched plenty of TV but my hobbies of music and ball were clean and entertaining. My father found things for me to do to like mowing grass with a
push mower and cutting bushes on hillsides. Life was good. I had some friends I played music with growing up. We weren’t that great but we played music together and had a lot of fun. Music or playing ball never got us in trouble. Our energy was focused on being creative and having good fun. I put my guitar down when I was about 16. I had played for about eight years and was getting better. I had a cheap electric guitar and James; an instrument craftsman today, eventually made me one. At age 18 I gave up music and traded that guitar to my brother for an eight-track tape player. I started speaking in church when I was 16. I was too young but youth always excels. Churches and organizations are starved for youth who stand up and demonstrate leadership. By 17, I had an old car and was driving everywhere
preaching sermons, speaking to church groups. Several small churches called me to serve as their pastor. I enjoyed it and still do. After 40 years I still am thrilled to talk about God’s grace and love in most any pulpit in America. I haven’t found any place that isn’t starved for grace and love. For 15 years I have been privileged to work with men and women around the planet who train for Christian service and ministry. As I said many years ago I had laid down my guitar. Most of the church people were glad because I didn’t play traditional church songs. Over the years I lost my ability to sing in front of people. I tried a few times and was a nervous wreck. I had lost it. They say, “if you don’t use it you will lose it.” That’s true. To get better, keep trying. Over the last five or so years I’ve sung in front of several groups; See ENJOY, Page 7A
Looking back Tim Greene shared another historic item. This is a “Presidential Reviewing Stand” seat pass for Colonel J.G. Wardlaw. President Hoover and his wife watched the parade pass-by from that same stand in 1930, prior to attending the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Kings Mountain. While we aren’t sure of the stand’s exact location, the pass identifies it as on Mountain Street. According to a bio about Wardlaw, he attended

The Road of Forgiveness ness.” Forgiveness, like patience, doesn’t come easy. There are four things that are true for all of us: 1. Everyone has been hurt in one way or another. 2. These hurts can turn into bitterness especially when we rehearse and relive them over and over. 3. God tells us to respond to these hurts with grace. 4. Dealing with these hurts is not a one-time act but an exercise that must be repeated every time the hurt “springs up.” The apostle Paul presents these words to us in Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another; tenderhearted, forgiving one another; even as God in Christ forgave you.” Jesus said in Mathtew 6: 14-15:
Last week I wrote about the rewards which come to us when we are patient. Impatience comes naturally. Patience on the Pastor Ron Caulder other hand Eastside Baptist Church KM Ministerial does not. Association, President But when we learn to be patient there are great rewards in store. I’m so glad all my prayers were not answered in my timing. I’ve learned that waiting on the Lord to meet my needs is always best. This week I want us to think about the “road of forgive-
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” How can we do this? What enables us to be a “forgiver?” I believe this comes as we exercise our faith as we study God’s Word, as we pray, and lean upon God to guide us and to act in a way we know would be blessing to Him. I really think that most of us know how we should act or conduct ourselves. The problem is we, too often, follow the flesh instead of the Spirit. When we follow the Spirit, we will find peace along with the heart of forgiveness toward others. Now, I realize this is easier
said than done especially if you didn’t do anything wrong to the person who has hurt you and doesn’t apologize for the way they have wronged you. Here’s a question to ponder: Who takes the initiative in forgiving? The one who caused the hurt or the one who was offended? Here’s a couple of biblical responses to this question: First, from the words of our Lord from Matthew 5:23-24: “Therefore if you bring your gift to the altar; and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar; and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother and then come an offer your gift.” In this case, the offender is to take the initiative to make things right.
Even if I haven’t done anything wrong, but he thinks I have, then go make it right even before we worship God in church or give our gifts at the altar. Now the flip side of this in Matthew 18:15: “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.” In this case, the offended brother is to take the initiative to make things right. Bottom line: As Christians, we are to be in the habit of meeting one another on this “road of forgiveness.” This “road of forgiveness” has been paved with blood of the Lord Jesus Christ and built in the shape of a cross.

Chris Brittain gets off a big run after catching a short pass in Friday’s game in Shelby.
Day Day Wilson scores the Mountaineers’ final TD in 20-0 win over Berry Academy Wednesday night in Forest City.
With jamborees behind them, Mountaineers work on opener While other area teams begin their season this week, Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers have the next 10 days to prepare for their August 24 opener against the South Caldwell Spartans at Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers drew their open date for the first playing date of the season when they joined the Big South Conference last year. South Caldwell also is open this week so neither team will have the opportunity to scout the other. Coach Greg Lloyd of the Mountaineers believes the Spartans will be much stronger this year than last. Their new head coach last year installed a wing-T offense and they didn’t have it down pat when the Mountaineers demolished them in the season opener. “South Caldwell will be improved,” Lloyd said. “They have a lot of people back and will be a much better test for us this year. We can’t compare them to their team from last year. They will be better.” Kings Mountain hopes to be better as well. The Mountaineers participated in jamborees last week at East Rutherford and Shelby and they will spend
the next several days correcting the problems they experienced. Kings Mountain started strong at East Rutherford against Berry Academy of Charlotte, scoring two early touchdowns. But, they bogged down somewhat after that and added a late score to win 20-0. Kobe Paysour caught a screen pass and turned it into a 50-yard score, and Quinten Davidson hauled in another for a 40 yard catch and run to give the Mountaineers a quick 13-0 lead. Linebacker Day Day Wilson entered the game on offense in the second quarter and capped off the final touchdown drive with a five-yard burst. Friday at Shelby, the Mountaineers posted a 21-0 win over the Newton-Conover Red Devils. Paysour again turned a screen into a 50-yard score, Holden Turner caught a screen and went 15 yards for another, and Ricyalen Mack broke through the right side of the line for a 40-yard TD. Austin Browning kicked three extra points to go with the two he booted through the uprights in the rain at East Rutherford. Coach Lloyd was pleased, but saw a lot of
room for improvement. “I’m glad we got to go against somebody else,” he said. “We got to look at a lot of players. We liked what we did in some areas; other areas we have to improve. We have to improve on both sides of the ball.” The Mountaineers tried to keep things simple. As time goes on, Lloyd said they will add more formations and more plays. “We played well,” he said. “It’s just so early. We just did a lot of formations. We will add some things to our scheme as we go along. We will continue to practiced hard with our special teams.” Kings Mountain had some players out, some to minor injuries and some because they have not had the required number of practice days. The Mountaineers are without their tallest receivers, John Harmon Melton who is out for the season, and Eli Paysour who had wrist surgery last week and will probably miss the first half of the season. The Mountaineers began this week working to develop their defense against South Caldwell, and working in the areas they need to improve on.
It’s a Pack Sack. KMHS linebacker Michael “Pack” Pruiksma sacks the Red Devil QB in Friday’s 21-0 Mountaineer win over Newton-Conover in the Cleveland County Jamboree at Shelby. “We do have a lot of experience and the players know what they’re doing,” Lloyd said. “We just have to work into game shape and get ready for the long haul.” The Mountaineers will
basically be in their usual one-back offense starting out. “We have a good running back (Ricaylen Mack), and a good quarterback (Kaylon Wade) running it,” he said. “Right
now we’re basically just trying to find out who the number two back will be. We have a lot of good prospects. Taking care of the football is going to be the main thing.”
Holder Turner scores on a 15-yard catch and run in Friday’s 21-0 Mountaineer win over Newton-Conover in the Cleveland County Jamboree at Shelby High.

BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Officials at Gardner-Webb University are thrilled to announce that Dr. Sydney Brown has been appointed as the new dean for the Gayle Bolt Price School of Graduate Studies beginning this month. Brown replaces Dr. Jeff Rogers, who resigned from the post earlier this summer. “I'm looking forward to

our challenges.” Brown has worked for Gardner-Webb for 14 years and is a professor of education. In 2012, she was named the coordinator of the Doctoral Program in Curriculum and Instruction and she also serves as dissertation chair for the School of Education. She is executive editor of “IMPROVE: Instructional Modules for Professional Learning Responding to Opportunities and Valuing Educators.” Prior to her work in higher education, Brown served as an elementary school teacher in various school settings from 1991 through 1999. “I am thrilled with the experience and energy that Dr. Brown brings to the Dean
role,” said Dr. Ben Leslie, GWU provost and executive vice president. “As the faculty coordinator of the University’s doctoral program in Curriculum and Instruction, she has already established herself as a proven leader in the Gayle Bolt Price School of Graduate Studies. Her commitment to quality scholarship, her love and support of students, as well as her exceptional organizational skills are a recipe for success that can only help advance the programs of the School.” She is a Quality Matters certified peer reviewer and online facilitator. In 2013, she received the Outstanding Graduate Faculty Award and was named Students’ Choice Award winner five separate
times. She also is a recipient of the President’s Award for Community Engagement. In addition, Brown has co-authored several publications, including “A Perspective on Readiness from the Kindergarten Classroom” (2002), “Taming the Children: The Social Construction of School Readiness” (2012), “Coffee Talk: Negotiating/Disrupting the Hidden Curriculum of Graduate School” (2009), and “Music Matters: Asking Questions, Fostering Agency, and Building Community in Arts-Based Educational Programming” (2004). Brown’s extensive education and degrees include a Bachelor of Arts in K-6 Education, a Master of Education
in K-12 Literacy Studies, and a Doctor of Philosophy in Culture, Curriculum, and Change—all earned at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She resides in Shelby, N.C., with her husband, Kevin Jennings, daughter, Ella Brown, and her parents, Fred and Linda Brown. “Working together with my colleagues within and across disciplines, I hope to facilitate the improvement of processes for faculty and students,” Brown reflected. “I also hope to connect graduate students to additional opportunities for deeper learning through research and engagement in advanced experiences related to their chosen field.”

tion to the conservancy’s Smith Cliffs/Henry Fork River Preserve in Burke County. Landowner Tim Sweeney donated the property to Foothills Conservancy, along with a generous contribution to cover stewardship costs associated with the project. Conservation Trust for North Carolina also contributed $20,000 via its Mountain Revolving Loan Fund Mini-Grant Program to cover remaining transaction costs. The land, known as the Overstreet Property, is made up of undeveloped forest bordering three quarters of a mile of the Henry Fork River. Conservation of the property
will ensure continued protection of the Henry Fork, which the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality has designated “Outstanding Resource Waters.” The property is separated from the conservancy’s Smith Cliffs/Henry Fork River Preserve by a single parcel of land, increasing the possibility of connecting them in the future. “With continued thanks to Tim Sweeney, Foothills Conservancy’s efforts to acquire and conserve important natural areas and rural lands along the Henry Fork River are growing in impact,” said Tom Kenney, the conservancy’s land protection director. “From
25 acres at Smith Cliffs in 2014 to 226 total acres today, we are honored to protect and steward one of North Carolina’s highest quality rivers, which flows to Charlotte’s Lake Wylie and the Catawba River.” Foothills Conservancy of North Carolina is a nationally accredited, nonprofit regional land trust based in Morganton. The conservancy works cooperatively with landowners and public/private conservation partners to preserve and protect significant natural areas and open spaces. Focus areas include watersheds, forests and farmland across the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and

Big Bad Voodoo Daddy a swingin’ time By Loretta Cozart Big Bad Voodoo Daddy rocked the crowd Friday night at the Don Gibson Theater. Lovers of jazz, swing, and big band music poured into the theater to hear the Grammy nominated group perform. Friday, the band played to a packed-house of avid fans. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy singer and songwriter Scotty Morris spent the last two and a half decades writing and performing original and classic American jazz and swing music. The band, formed by Morris in Ventura, California in 1989, was named "Big Bad Voodoo Daddy" after Scotty met the Texas blues guitar legend Albert Collins at one of the latter's concerts. "He signed my poster 'To Scotty, the big bad voodoo daddy.' I thought it was
the greatest name I had ever heard on one of the greatest musical nights of my life. So, when it came time to name this band, I didn't really have a choice. I felt like it was handed down to me," he explains on the band’s website. “From our very first show at a backyard party, until today, nearly 3000 shows later, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy’s unending goal has always been to play good music and have fun while doing it.” Chris and Sarah Cole, Kip and Loretta Cozart, and Scott Neisler were among many delighted by the band’s toe tapping rhythmic beat, often referred to as Jump Blues. This style of music is considered the forebear of rockn-roll and RnB. Among the songs performed were the band’s hits, “Go Daddy-O,” “You, Me
and the Bottle Makes 3 Tonight” — both featured in the 1996 movie “Swingers” — and “Mr. Pinstripe Suit,” all from “Americana Deluxe.” They also played Louis Armstrong’s “Basin Street,” Cab Calloway’s “Minnie the Moocher,” and "I Wan'na Be like You" by Louis Prima. “The performance was just phenomenal,” said Loretta Cozart. “I’ve seen them several times. Every time they perform they just get better and better. It was one of the fastest concerts I can remember; the music was just that good. “I appreciated the beautiful venue and wonderful acoustics. I most appreciated that the crowd stayed seated during the performance. Thanks to that, we all had the ‘best seat in the house,” she said.

Individuals or groups who would like to bring their musical instruments are invited to play for the crowd. The Hoyle Historic Homestead sits on land granted to German settler Peiter Hieyl in 1754. The home features a rare corner post log construction and is said to be Gaston County's John Jacob photo oldest home.
Lorri Bridges caught these close-up shots of the Eastern River Cooter turtles on a recent vacation to Horsebend Arkansas. These turtles are a subspecies of the Pseudemys concinna and are capable of growing up to 16.5 inches. They have the ability to breathe underwater through a sac called cloaca bursae which is based in their tail. This allows them to stay underwater for extended periods of time, and makes their behavior harder to study. Photos by Lorri Bridges

How Medicare Covers Diabetes Dear Savvy Senior, How well does Medicare cover diabetes? I’m 66 years old and was recently told by my doctor that I have pre-diabetes. If it progresses to full-fledged diabetes what can I expect from Medicare. Recently Retired Dear Recently, Medicare actually provides a wide range of coverage to help beneficiaries who have diabetes, as well as those who are at risk of getting it – but they don’t cover everything. Here’s a breakdown of what Medicare covers when it comes to diabetes services and supplies along with some other tips that can help you save. Screenings: If you have pre-diabetes or some other health conditions that put you at risk of getting diabetes – such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and triglycerides, are overweight, or have a family history of diabetes – Medicare Part B (medical insurance) will pay 100 percent of the cost of up to two diabetes screenings every year. Doctor’s services: If you’re a Medicare beneficiary, Medicare will pay 80 percent of the cost of all doctor’s office visits that are related to diabetes. You are responsible
for paying the remaining 20 percent after you’ve met this year’s $183 (for 2018) Part B deductible. Prevention program: Just launched in April, the Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program provides lifestyle change programs offered by health professionals to help you prevent diabetes. This is available for free to all Part B beneficiaries who have pre-diabetes. Self-management: If you have diabetes, Medicare covers 80 percent of the cost of self-management training to teach you how to successfully manage your diabetes. Supplies and medications: Medicare Part B covers 80 percent of the cost of glucose monitors, test strips (100 per month if you use insulin, or 33 per month if you don’t), lancets, external insulin pumps and insulin (if you use a pump), after you’ve met your deductible. If, however, you inject insulin with a syringe, Medicare’s Part D prescription drug benefit will help pay your insulin costs and the supplies needed to inject it – if you have a plan. Part D plans also cover most other diabetic medications too. You’ll need to check your plan for coverage details.
Nutrition therapy: Medicare will pick up the entire tab for medical nutrition therapy, which teaches you how to adjust your diet so you can better manage your condition. You’ll need a doctor’s referral to get this service. Foot care: Since foot problems are common among diabetics, Medicare covers 80 percent of foot exams every six months for diabetics with diabetes-related nerve damage. They will also help pay for therapeutic shoes or inserts as long as your podiatrist prescribes them. Eye exams: Because diabetes increases the risks of getting glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy, 80 percent of dilated medical eye exams are covered each year, but eye refractions for glasses are not. For more information, see “Medicare’s Coverage of Diabetes Supplies & Services” online booklet at Medicare.gov/ Pubs/pdf/11022-Medicare-Diabetes-Coverage.pdf. Other Insurance If you have a Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy, it may pay some of the costs that Medicare doesn’t cover. Call
your plan’s benefits administrator for more information. Or, if you’re in a Medicare Advantage plan (like an HMO or PPO), your plan must give you at least the same diabetes coverage as original Medicare does, but it may have different rules. You’ll need to check your policy for details. Financial Assistance If you’re income is low, and you can’t afford your Medicare out-of-pocket costs, you may be able to get help through Medicare Savings Programs. To find out if you qualify or to apply, contact your state Medicaid program. Also, find out if you are eligible for “Extra Help” which helps Medicare Part D beneficiaries with their medication expenses. Visit SSA.gov/prescriptionhelp or call Social Security (800-772-1213) to learn more. 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.
