At White House Egg Roll
Noah and Wayne King at the White House Easter Egg Roll.
Egg Roll Exciting for KM’s Kings His third time at the 140th White House Easter Monday Egg Roll was exciting for eight-year-old Noah King. The North Elementary second grader and his Dad Wayne King were in the early morning group of about 2,000 who gathered on the South lawn of the White House in the nation’s capital Monday and what a great day in 80-degree weather to be on Spring break. The youngster rolled eggs, participated in an egg hunt, enjoyed other activities like painting and enjoyed refreshments. Young King also listened as First Lady Melania Trump read a story. President Donald Trump also greeted party-goers in a crowd estimated at 20,000. The thousands of people ex-
pected for the traditional event are entertained in groups throughout the day. While Noah enjoyed the activities, Wayne King visited with Steve Bannon, White House strategist, who had issued the invitation to the Kings and with whom King had worked with in the 2012 GOP Presidential campaign, chatted with US Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer. Wayne King is Deputy Chief of Staff for Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC). The Kings also attended both the 2015 and 2016 Easter Monday egg rolls at the White House and young King was looking forward to attending again this year.

Magazine features City’s ’38 Fire truck The Kings Mountain Fire Department’s 1938 Ford/ American LaFrance Pumper which served the city for 36 years is featured on the cover, story by Candace Brown and photos by Jack Harrison, in a recent edition of Vintage Fire Truck & Equipment. The fire truck shares space in the Kings Mountain Fire Museum with the first truck the city purchased, a 1931 ALF, as well as other treasured pieces of apparatus, equipment and memorabilia. According to Fire Chief Frank Burns, the 1931 fire engine retired only after the department upgraded again in 1960. The 1938 Ford stayed in service as the newer truck’s working companion for another 14 years. The hours of donated fire
department labor, during a six-year period to restore the Pumper totaled 3,500 or about 600 hours per person. Local businesses contributed to its beautiful exterior – Weaver’s Paint & Body Shop did the painting, and Thunder Valley Sign Shop did the gold leaf lettering and ornamentation. All firemen, including volunteers, worked on it. Firemen apparently feel a deep fondness for the old truck as do Kings Mountain citizens who support the Fire Museum to store special history. A couple of the firemen have used the Ford during their weddings, to ride in it when leaving the church. The American LaFrance Pumper is a conversation piece for visitors at the museum, 106 Spruce Street, close to the city’s walking track. Burns has served 42 years in Kings Mountain’s Fire Department, 27 years as Chief.

■ MEDITATION
Easter: Lessons Learned vs. Lessons Applied I t ’ s Wednesday, three days now removed from Easter Sunday. As a minister, I must Rev. Jeff Wilson Lead Pastor admit that First Church of I am exthe Nazarene hausted. Because of the sheer amount of preparation for our Holy Week and Easter Sunday celebrations, I think we are at risk of missing the impact of what actually took place thousands of years ago. Over the next couple of
weeks, I would like to focus our attention on the lessons applied—not just lessons learned—through the quiet moments of reflection since Easter. In Luke 24:5, the women who came to the tomb early that Easter morning were asked, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” While this is a famous verse used for reflection during our Easter celebrations, we often forget to continue reading: “Remember how He told you, while He was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised
again.’” These women were with Jesus, living life in his circle. They saw the miracles, ate meals with Him and heard His teachings directly from His mouth—yet they still managed to forget that He promised to defeat death and rise from the tomb. So my question, three days removed from Easter Sunday and our shouts of “He’s risen, He’s risen indeed”, would be this: do we remember that the tomb is still empty? It’s one thing to celebrate during the pageantry of Easter Sunday, but it is completely different to remember the fact that the tomb is still empty when we are three days removed
from Easter. As the woman approached the tomb early that morning, grief had settled in. The reality of life hit hard and in those moments, the women forgot what Jesus had promised. There is no doubt that for many of us, even since Easter Sunday, the reality of life is sinking in. Do your remember what Jesus promised while in Galilee, proved that Easter Sunday morning and has proved day in and day out ever since? The tomb is empty, He’s risen and we serve a living Savior! Lesson Learned: He is risen! Lesson Applied: Celebrate the fact that the tomb is still empty and serve the Living God.
Peoples Baptist Church will hold the Mother/ Daughter banquet on Saturday, May 6, at 10 a.m. Minister Dora Roberts Houze of New Hope Missionary Baptist Church will

Mauney Library to present ‘Titanic: Ship of Dreams’ Experience the world of courage, fear, love and cowardice as Dr. Melinda Ratchford, a North Carolina Humanities Council Roads Scholar, presents ‘’Titanic: Ship of Dreams.’’ This free program will be held in the Mauney Memorial Library Community Room, 100 Piedmont Ave., on Tuesday, April 25 at 6 p.m. "The people we study in history were once as alive as we are this very minute." Nothing holds truer than the 2228 stories to be found on the RMS Titanic. This presentation is a glimpse into the world of 1912 and the amazing people who boarded the most luxurious and largest ship in the world and sailed off into immortality. Having traveled to all the sites that have Titanic connections (Belfast, Southampton, sinking site in North Atlantic, Halifax, NS et al.), Dr. Melinda Ratchford will take audiences on a voyage in time to learn about the Titanic, as well as to see her extensive collection of Titanic memorabilia. She will "intro-
duce" listeners to the young Robert Spedden and his Stief bear, Polar; the world's richest man and his beautiful new wife who had to leave New York society under a cloud of shame; and the elderly man and wife who tested the vow of "till death do we part". This presentation will offer the chance to experience the world of courage, fear, love, and cowardice that is still alive over one hundred years after the Titanic's sinking. This project is made possible by funding from the North Carolina Humanities Council, a statewide nonprofit and affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Metal sculpture on display by Southern Arts Society The metal sculpture of Gaston County native Rudy Rudisill remains on exhibit at Southern Arts Society in Kings Mountain through April 28. The show “Farm Buildings to Follies” consists of architecturally based metal sculptures created primarily from galvanized steel and copper. This series was inspired when Rudisill was driving through Texas and saw an abandoned grain elevator, with an open door swaying in the wind near the top of the structure, reminding him of a door to a house. Thus began a fascination with farm buildings and a new direction in his sculpture, all abstracted and altered with his own personal interpretation. This period led to exploring Architectural Follies, structures with no real function or purpose, expanding his work even further. Born in Gastonia, Rudisill conjures a building lost and abandoned, excavating it from memory. The illusion of change arises via galvanized steel and copper brushed with acid, yielding a corrosive effect. The work is simultaneously contemporary
OUR TEACHERS ARE TOPS
iSkills This week we highlight our iSkills teacher at KMIS, Mrs. Sherry Smith. Mrs. Smith helps to give students experience in information, computer, and research skills. Mrs. Smith’s classroom is a computer lab where students learn to code, build presentations, and complete research that supports teachers’ classroom activities. Mrs. Smith also sponsored a coding club this year where students interested in learning to code stayed after school to gain hands on experience in that area. KMIS is fortunate to have Mrs. Smith serving our Pioneers.
METAL SCULPTURE BY RUDY RUDISILL and traditional, industrial and pastoral as Rudisill explores the relationship of physical elements to their symbolic implications. By bringing together various textures and architectonic forms, personal, cultural and historic elements bring together an homage to the changing landscape. Each anthropomorphic piece carries with it a narrative and a particular relationship – sometimes familial, other times structural. A working artist for over 30 years, Rudisill’s fabri-
cated sheet metal sculpture has won international awards and can be found in public, corporate and private collections in North America, Europe and Asia. Rudy’s education includes Penland School of Crafts, Arrowmont School of Crafts, Appalachian Center for Crafts and workshops with the Florida Guild of Goldsmiths. He is retired from the Schiele Museum of Natural History in Gastonia, NC, as an Exhibits Consultant. Also on exhibit in the Founders Gallery are paintings by Brenda Beard Bostian, Rosie Little, James L. Norman and Ronald Shepard. Admission is free.

A new cornea was second chance for KMHS teacher Chris McKay (Ed. Note – Sydnee Radford, a KMHS senior, is encouraging organ donations as her senior project. She interviewed Chris McKay, KMHS teacher.) Chris McKay, American History teacher at Kings Mountain High, is a believer in organ donation. Four years ago he was diagnosed with keratoconus of the left eye and underwent transplant surgery. “I had no options, go blind or seek a donor for a transplant,’’ McKay said. His right eye will need a new cornea soon. McKay said he contacted an eye bank in Charlotte and a donor was secured. “That transplant truly gave me a second chance at a good and comfortable life and I wish that
CHRIS McKAY I could thank the donor,’’ he said. Chris, 46, has taught in Kings Mountain since 2004. He and his wife, Kami, and daughter, Paisley, live in Gastonia. McKay loves his job and “looks forward to many more years educating students.”

PICKLEBALL
Saturday, April 29, 2017 10am
From Page 1A
Executive Director Kevin Osborne who said a tournament like the one played this week attracted onlookers as well as players. Including men and women from the Patrick Senior Center. Pickleball can be played as men’s doubles, women’s doubles and mixed doubles and the paddle sport is created for all ages and skill levels. Osborne says rules are simple, and the game is easy for beginners to learn, but can develop into a quick fast-paced, competitive game for experienced players. It’s a fun sport that combines many elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong. Observing the sport from the sidelines, one woman noted, “Pickleball is a very interesting name, but I don’t see any pickles.” The prospective player got a history lesson from another player who had searched a website and learned that the late Joel Pritchard and Bill Bell had shared the history and the
Keeter Furniture & Hardware 101 Mulberry St. • Grover • NC 28073
reasoning behind many basic rules of the game. In the early years, no official name was assigned to the game but about a year or two after its invention the Pritchard’s purchased a cocker spaniel and named it Pickles. As the game progressed, an official name was needed and ‘pickleball’ was it The USA Pickleball Association, a non-profit corporation, was organized to promote the growth and development of pickleball on both a national and international level. This organization provides players with official rules, tournaments, rankings and promotional materials. There are over 15,000 indoor and outdoor courts in the United States and at least one location in all 50 states. “Players enjoy the social aspects of the game and the ability to stay active in their own towns and communities and the Y offers them the opportunity to do that,’’ said Osborne. Adds Osborne, “Pickleball is a game for everyone.”

Danny McDowell, builder of champions, going into Kings Mountain Hall of Fame (Fifth in a six-part series on the 2017 Kings Mountain Hall of Fame inductees. The ceremony is Sat., May 6 at 6 p.m. at Central United Methodist Church. Tickets are $15 and are available at Kings Mountain High School, from members of the Hall of Fame committee and at the door). Danny McDowell has coached basketball in a lot of places, but says nothing can compare to coaching in his hometown. “It doesn’t get any better than that,” says McDowell, who will be inducted into the Kings Mountain Sports Hall of Fame on May 6 at Central United Methodist Church. McDowell, who grew up in the Galilee community off York Road, coached in Kings Mountain on the AAU, junior high, JV and varsity high school level. Since retirement he has coached in Charlotte and is now at Bessemer City High School. Because of health problems as a youngster, McDowell could not play basketball at Compact and Kings Mountain high schools, but he got the coaching bug by being associated with good coaches like John Blalock and Don Parker. After graduating Appalachian State University, he accepted a teaching job at Bethware School where he taught for 25 years. He won numerous teaching awards, including North Carolina Math Teacher of the Year for two years in a row. He was also a Regional finalist. “I just loved teaching at Bethware,” he said. McDowell coached at KM Junior High, and was head JV coach and varsity assistant at KMHS in the late 1970s and early 1980s. His teams won championships on every level. “Any time you get to coach in your hometown, it doesn’t get any better than that,” McDowell said. “I knew everybody. I’d see them in the community and church. It’s the greatest feeling you can ever have. You have to be born and raised right here in this town to know how that feels.” At the junior high, McDowell built teams that would later become the #1 ranked high school team in the state at KMHS under head coach John Blalock. “I was fortunate that I started my coaching career at the junior high because I could build teams that would go on to be good on the high school level,” he said. “I had
guys like Carl Smith and Butch Blalock over there. They built a great rapport at the junior high.” Coach Blalock saw that McDowell was an outstanding coach and asked him to join his staff at KMHS as head JV coach and varsity assistant. McDowell’s JV teams won the conference championship in all three of his years as head coach. During a five-year period, Blalock and McDowell built two championship teams which featured Carl Smith, Demetris Goode, Terrance Blalock, Paul Ingram and others and put an end to defending state champion RS Central’s 43-game winning streak in 1981. When Coach Blalock retired, McDowell was disappointed that he did not get the head coaching job. He resigned and organized the Kings Mountain Boys Club which was based at Central School. He organized and coached AAU Junior Olympics basketball teams there that won 10 straight state championships, a National AAU Junior Olympic championship in 1995 in Memphis, TN, and two national runners-up. People came from as far away as Greensboro and Wilkesboro to play for McDowell. “Starting the Boys Club was one of the best things I ever did,” McDowell said. “We played top competition from all over the United States. I knew then that I could be a head coach at the high school level. “We started with little kids and just kept building. We played our home games at the old Central Gym, which we called the Match Box. I had some of the best players in the area who went on to play for major colleges.” The KMHS coaching job came open again in 2000, and this time McDowell was the choice. He coached the Mountaineers for five seasons, becoming the first basketball coach in school history to win three consecutive conference championships. “We were able to compete there because those kids knew those good players from the 1980s and wanted to be like them,” McDowell noted. “We had 10 or 12 players that could really play so you had to practice hard just to get playing time. Guys like Derek Smith, DJ Byrd, Gabe Blair, Tae Tae Roebuck and others. You had to work
hard every day.” The Mountaineers made it to the sectional championship game three years in a row, winning two of them to qualify for the Western Regionals. “It hurt when we lost that sectional game,” McDowell noted. “The kids knew the next two years we wouldn’t lose. If we’d won those two Regional championships, I know we would have won the state because we were much better than the eastern teams that lost the state championship to West Rowan and Trinity, the teams that beat us to get there.” During his time at KMHS, McDowell produced one All-Regional player (Gabe Blair, who went on to start for NCAA power Wichita State) and one All-State and Conference Player of the Year, Derek Smith. “When I retired I wasn’t going to do anything,” McDowell recalled. “But I got a call from Charlotte Christian. We had played them. I always played the toughest non-conference competition I could find. They wanted me to come over there.” McDowell did, and in just one year turned the girls basketball program from a loser to a third place finish in the state. Christian was 6-20 the year before McDowell came on the scene. With McDowell at the helm the following year, Christian went 20-8 and finished third in the state with only eight players. “That was such a long drive,” McDowell noted, “so when I got a call from Bessemer City I went over there. I’ve been there for seven years and just love it.” Before McDowell joined the Yellow Jackets, they had never won the Cherryville Holiday Tournament which draws some of the best teams in the area, and on occasion some from out of the country. The Yellow Jackets have won the tournament three of the past five years. During his time at BCHS he has coached numerous outstanding players, including the Conference Player of the Year for the past three years. All three made AllState. “I enjoy it over there,” McDowell said. “I don’t have to drive too far. They have a great staff that does all the scheduling. I just coach.” McDowell said going into the Hall of Fame is great. “Anytime your peers think you are worthy, it is an honor,” he said. “You can get
DANNY MCDOWELL all kinds of coaching awards, but when you get to represent your hometown it can’t be topped. “I was able to build a good rapport with the kids and parents,” he said. “When they call you and tell you they’ve heard the news and congratulate you, you know you’ve done something right. It doesn’t get any better than that. “Going in as a guy from Kings Mountain, you’ve seen it all and you’ve done it in steps. I came from Galilee to all of this. I’ve been fortunate just being a basketball coach. “Seeing guys succeed in sports and in life is the biggest reward you can get,” he added. “I am so proud of the Hall of Fame fraternity that’s already there and thankful that I am going to be one of them now. “It all started with my parents (Annie and William McDowell) who were at every game.

Late comeback lifts KM girls over Crest Kings Mountain centerfielder Brittney Reynolds gunned down Crest’s Sidney Kale, who was trying to go from first to third on a single in the top of the seventh, to preserve a 7-6 win for the Lady Mountaineers in SMAC action Wednesday night at Lancaster Field #3. The final out ended a roller coaster ride for the Lady Mountaineers, who came from behind twice to edge their county rival after leaving eight runners stranded in the first four innings. The speedy Kale had gone from first to third in the top of the first inning to spark a two-run rally that gave Crest the lead going into the fifth. The southpaw Kale and a good Charger defense got out of several early jams to hold off the Lady Mountaineers early. Kale struck out two batters with the bases loaded to end a potential KM rally in the second. KM loaded the sacks again in the third, but Kale got Jozie Nail on a pop-up to first to end that threat. Crest pushed across another run in the top of the fifth to go up 3-0, before Kings Mountain rallied with two out and one runner on base in the bottom of the inning for a 4-3 lead. With Catie Payne on first after a force out at second base, Kameron Marr got the rally going with a single. Nail followed with a single to left that drove in Payne, and Jessie Oehler parked a Kale pitch over the left-center field fence for a three-run homer and a 4-3 Mountaineer lead. It didn’t last long, though, as Crest rallied in the top of the sixth to go up
5-4. Kale got things going with a triple and tied the game on a single by Emily White. The go-ahead run came home on an error on a Mountaineer double play attempt. Kings Mountain answered the bell and put up a three-spot in the bottom of the sixth for a 7-5 lead. Reynolds was hit by a pitch to get the inning started, and was sacrificed to second by Kassidy Hamrick. Ashton Withers singled to right and stole second to put runners at second and third. Melton squeezed home Reynolds to tie the game, and Payne and Nail produced run-scoring singles for the winning runs. Abbie Davis led off the top of the seventh for Crest with a single to left and raced all the way to third when the ball was mishandled. She scored on an infield out. Kings Mountain shortstop Ashton Withers guns down a Crest runner.

KM falls to Draughn, Crest The final week before Easter break did not go well for Kings Mountain High’s baseball team as it fell to Draughn 6-2 and Crest 14-1 in a pair of SMAC games. The Mountaineers couldn’t do anything with Draughn ace Nick Jodway Tuesday night in Valdese. Jodway hurled a two-hitter and struck out 14 KM batters, and also led the Wildcats at the plate with 3-for-4, including a home run. He had half of the Wildcats’ hits off KM pitchers. Kings Mountain’s only run came in the seventh inning on Steven Russell’s RBI double. Thursday night at Lancaster Field, the Mountaineers battled back from an early 1-0 deficit to tie Crest at 1-all in the bottom of the third when Palmer Davis singled, stole second and scored when John Bell reached base on a throwing error. But the KM defense fell apart after that. Crest was able to wrap the game up before it ever
scored an earned run. The Chargers’ first inning run against KM starter Madisyn Bolin was unearned, and in the fourth the visitors went up 4-1 without benefit of a hit as the Mountaineers booted three straight ground balls in the infield. Bolin got the Chargers in order in the top of the fifth, but after he walked leadoff batter Luke Scism in the sixth and then went to a 0-2 count on CJ Mayhue, he was relieved by Daniel Bagwell. A dropped fly ball in the outfield, followed by Lawson Harrill’s single that was also muffed in the outfield opened the floodgates. Crest ollected five of its six hits on the night in the sixth, and Mayhue came on to pitch in the bottom of the inning in relief of starter Riley Cheek. He struck out three KM pinch-hitters to end the game on the mercy rule. The Mountaineers collected only four hits, with Palmer Davis getting two of them.
KM girls first, boys second in CC track Kings Mountain’s girls finished first and the boys second in the annual Cleveland County track meet Wednesday at John Gamble Stadium. The Lady Mountaineers tallied 120 points to outdistance Crest with 68, Shelby 35 and Burns 23. The Shelby boys finished first with 100.5 points, barely edging Kings Mountain with 94.5. Crest was third with 43 and Burns fourth with 31. The Lady Mountaineers won 10 events, led by Macie Sims in the high jump (4’6”) and the triple jump (31’8.5”). Others finishing first were Aleenih
Carter-Kee in the 110 hurdles (17.70), Ja’Myiah Pressley in the 100 meters (12.50), Alexis Browning in the pole vault (9’), Denysia Blakeney in the 300 hurdles (53.40), Conner Calhoun in the 1600 meter run (6:27.19) and Clark in the 800 meters (3:12.27). Kings Mountain’s boys got wins by Malachi Wingate in the 1600 meters (5:17.43), David Parsons in the discus (107’8”), Kaleb Estridge in the pole vault (12’), Orlandus Gamble in the high jump (6’2”), Zeldon Roberts in the long jump (20’4”) and Thai Tuttanon in the triple jump (39’).
KMTD Club golf tourney slated May 12 The 10th annual Kings Mountain Touchdown Club Golf Tournament will be played Fri., May 12 at Kings Mountain Country Club. The majority of the proceeds will go to the KMTD Club’s building fund. The club has completed the first two phases of its massive building program at KMHS – the new field house and concession stand – but still owes $27,000 on the concession stand. The golf tournament format is four-person captain’s choice and is limited to the first 30 teams that apply. Golfers are urged to apply early because the field usually fills up fast. Application forms are available at Warlick and Hamrick Insurance on West Mountain Street. The cost is $70 per player and includes one mulligan per player, one red tee per player and one string per team (hole #15). Several prizes will be given for closest to the pin on par 3 holes (four total), and longest drive for men, women and seniors on #2. The tournament will be flighted at the end of play with first place prizes in each flight. A highlight of the tournament will be a post-tournament raffle which will include prizes such as golf equipment, tickets to major sporting events such as Panthers and Hornets games, etc., and other great prizes.
The grand prize will be a football signed by Coach Dabo Swinney of the national champion Clemson Tigers. Tickets for the football only will be $10 each. All raffle tickets are available from Warlick and Hamrick, Dellinger’s Jewelry, Parker Amaco, Bethlehem Volunteer Fire Department, Scism Body Shop and Touchdown Club members David Brinkley, Greg Dixon, Mark Dixon, Jeff Dixon, Larry Hamrick Jr. and Mike Harris. You do not have to be present to win the football or any other raffle prize. Through the years the Touchdown Club golf tournament has been one of the most popular and most successful tournaments in the region. Last year’s tournament set a record with over $37,000 raised and a net of $32,000 that went toward the construction of the new concession stand at KMHS. Sponsorships are available to area businesses and individuals and can also be purchased at Warlick and Hamrick or by sending checks to Kings Mountain Touchdown Club, PO Box 2017, Kings Mountain, NC 28086. The cost of sponsorships are $50 for bronze, $100 silver, $250 gold, $500 platinum and $1,000 diamond. The names of sponsors will be permanently displayed on a board in the KMHS weight room.

SOFTBALL: Mountaineers come back to beat Crest 7-6 From Page 2B Laura Henderson walked and was erased for the second out when Kale hit a grounder back to Payne on the mound. The Chargers’ most dangerous hitter, Jenna Wacaster, came to the plate
and smacked a bullet to center field. Kale didn’t slow down rounding second but Reynolds’ throw to Oehler at third nailed her short of the bag for the final out. Withers and Nail had three hits each to lead the KM plate attack. Oehler
added two and Reynolds, Melton, Deaton, Marr and Payne one apiece. Payne went the distance on the mound for the Mountaineers. Kale worked the first five innings for the Chargers and was charged with the loss. She left two
runners on base when Madison McSwain came on to pitch with Crest up 5-4. Both ended up scoring. White led the Chargers with three hits. Wacaster, Kale, Anna Kate Warlick and Abbey Ramsey had two hits each.
A night earlier, the Lady Mountaineers dropped a 14-7 decision at Draughn. The Lady Mountaineers battled back from an early 5-0 deficit to tie the game at 7-all only to see the Lady Wildcats put up seven more runs in their final two at-
bats. Reynolds, Nail and Hamrick led the KM plate attack with 3-for-4 each. Melton was 2-for-4 and she and Nail both drove in three runs. Megan McQueen, Marr and Payne added one hit apiece.

How to Pick a Medical Alert System Dear Savvy Senior, I would like to get my 82-year-old mother, who lives alone, a home medical alert system with a panic button that she can push in case she falls or needs help. Can you recommend some good options to help me choose? Overwhelmed Daughter Dear Overwhelmed, A good medical alert system is an affordable and effective tool that can help keep your mother safe, but with all the choices available today choosing one can be quite confusing. Here are some tips that can help. How They Work Medical alert systems, which have been around for about 40 years, are popular products for elderly seniors who live alone. Leased for about $1 a day, these basic systems provide a wearable help button – usually in the form of a neck pendant or wristband – and a base station that connects to the home phone line, or to a cellular network if no landline is present. At the press of a button, your mom could call and talk to a trained opera-
tor through the system’s base station receiver, which works like a powerful speakerphone. The operator will find out what’s wrong, and will notify family members, a friend, neighbor or emergency services as needed. In addition to the basic home systems, many companies today (for an additional fee) are also offering motion sensitive pendants that can detect a fall and automatically call for help if your mom is unable to push the button. And mobile medical alerts that work when your mom is away from home. Mobile alerts work like cell phones with GPS tracking capabilities. They allow your mom to talk and listen to the operator directly through the pendant button, and because of the GPS, her general location would be known in order for help to be sent. What to Consider When shopping for a home medical alert system, here are some things to look for to help you choose a quality system: • Extra help buttons: Most companies offer waterproof neck pendant and wristband help buttons, but some also
offer wall-mounted buttons that can be placed near the floor in high fall risk areas like the bathroom or kitchen, in case your mom isn’t wearing her pendant. • Range: The base station should have a range of at least 400 feet so it can be activated from anywhere on your mom’s property – even in the yard. • Backup: Make sure the system has a battery backup in case of a power failure. • Monitoring: Make sure the response center is staffed with trained emergency operators located in the U.S., are available on a 24-hour basis, and responds to calls promptly. • Contacts: Choose a company that provides multiple contact choices – from emergency services, to a friend or family member who lives nearby – that they can contact if your mom needs help. • Certification: Find out if the monitoring center has been certified by Underwriters Laboratories, a nonprofit safety and consulting company. Top Rated Companies While there are dozens of companies that offer medical alert systems, here are some top options that offer both
home and mobile alerts: Bay Alarm Medical (fees start at $30 per monthfor a home landline system, bayalarmmedical.com, 877-522-9633); Life Station ($30/month, lifestation.com, 800-5544600); Medical Alert ($33/month, medicalalert.com, 800-800-2537); MobileHelp ($30/month, mobilehelpnow.com, 800-992-0616); and Phillips Lifeline ($30/month plus a $50 activation fee, lifelinesys.com, 855-681-5351). Most of these companies offer discounts if you pay three to 12 months in advance. For mobile medical alerts only, you should also see GreatCall’s Lively Mobile and Wearable (these cost $50 plus a $20 to $35 monthly service fee, greatcall.com, 866-359-5606) and Consumer Cellular’s Ally ($150 plus $25 per month, consumercellular.com, 888345-5509).

The City of Bessemer City was recently honored for its collaboration with Department of Health & Human Services on their efforts to advance human welfare in Gaston County. Bessemer City has become a City committed to providing a safe and
healthy environment for citizens, youth, and the visiting public. In August of 2016 City Council adopted a Tobacco Free, Smoke Free Ordinance that prohibits tobacco use in all municipal buildings, vehicles, grounds and parks. Additionally, the City has the most comprehensive Tobacco and Smoke Free policy in North Carolina. In an effort to further tobacco use prevention and support those that want to quit, as an affiliate of Tobac-
co Free Gaston Coalition, the City hosted the Coalition’s 1st Kick Butts Day in Gaston County. The event featured information and activities from CaroMont Health, American Cancer Services, The Gaston County Teen Wellness Center, Gaston Family Health Services, Gaston County Library, Gaston Outside, and Publix. For more information about the City with a heart visit www.bessemercity. com/tobaccoquitline.
