Library kicks-off Summer Reading On your mark, get set, read! Readers of all ages will explore all things fitness and exercise this summer as the Mauney Memorial Library presents, “On your mark, get set, read” during the annual summer reading and fun program. All ages are invited to explore a variety of ways to read, have fun, exercise, eat healthy and explore our community with programs.
School is out for summer break so parents and children will want to stop by Mauney Memorial Library (or visit mauneylibrary.org) for information about how to keep their children engaged in reading and learning. Studies show that students who do not read during the summer can experience “summer set-back or summer slide,” losing ground in learning and re-
Liberty Mountain is growing up By Bob Inman Our third season of the Revolutionary War drama opens on Friday, June 24 for the first of 17 performances BOB INMAN at the Joy Performance Center in downtown Kings Mountain, and to no one’s surprise, it’s bigger and better than ever. Here’s why: There’s a lot that’s new in the 2016 edition of Liberty Mountain. New scenes, new music – including a rousing theme song, “Climb That Mountain” – and an exciting sense of commitment to bringing our audiences a thrilling and memorable theatre experience. As the playwright, there’s one new scene in particular that I’m enthused about. Without giving away the plot, I’ll say that it goes to the heart of the story of how settlers came from Northern Ireland to the Carolinas in the 1700’s to start
new lives, raise sturdy families, work hard, and – especially – worship as they pleased. Many were Presbyterians, and back in the old country, they were persecuted because they refused to bow to the official religion, the Church of England. Here in the new world, they could form their close-knit congregations and express their faith as they wished. A fine old Presbyterian hymn begins the scene and speaks of a New Jerusalem. It resonates deeply with folk who are embarked on new beginnings. Another aspect of our storytelling that will impress audiences is the quality and energy of our cast. We’re fortunate to have a core of dedicated local actors, many of whom have been with Liberty Mountain since its premier in October, 2014. Several are in new roles this year. To that core, our terrific director, Caleb Sigmon, has added a host of theatre professionals who bring their characters to life with talent and spirit. Their dedicated work raises all of us to a new level. And then there the folks who come to see our play. See LIBERTY MTN., Page 7A
turning to school less ready for the next year than when they began their summer break. “While school is out for the summer there is no better place to be inspired and to stay in the learning mode than at our local public library,” said Library Board chair, Jeff Mauney. “Our library offers terrific summer programs to inspire and enlighten students of all ages. See LIBRARY, Page 7A
City breakfast Thursday The annual Kings Mountain State of Community breakfast will be held Thursday, June 16, at 7:30 a.m. at H. Lawrence Patrick Senior Life & Conference Center. Mayor Scott Neisler said local officials will focus on the issues concerning Kings Mountain and discuss challenges and successes facing their respective areas of local government. The Chamber of Commerce is inviting sponsors for the event and are taking reservations for breakfast tickets which are $10 for Chamber members and $12 for non-members. Call 704487-8521 for reservations. The public is invited.
Public hearing on the city's proposed $45 million budget for 2016-17 will be conducted by City Council Thursday night at 6 p.m. at city hall. The proposed budget calls for a three cent increase in property taxes, from 40 cents to 43 cents per $100 property valuation. The 40 cent tax rate has been unchanged except one time in 26 years. During one administration the rate was lowered three cents but the next administration passed the 40 cent rate again and it had prevailed with succeeding administrations. City officials say higher insurance costs is the main contributor for the pro-
month. An increase in tipping fees from Cleveland County landfill is expected in the 2017-18 budget year. The basic facility rate for natural gas is expected to rise from $6.50 to $7.50 with the average household expected to see a 10 cents per day increase. Basic facility charges for commercial customers should drop from $30 to $17.50 during summer months. Out-side city residents will see an increase in cemetery rates with cost of a plot increasing from $1750 to $2,000 and opening and closing of graves from $530 to $1500. Inside-city residents will see no increase. The current rate is $350 for lots and $375 for opening and closing of graves. See BUDGET, Page 2A

All Aaron wants All Aaron Evans wants is “to be normal again.” “I've got mad, cried, and lost my hair after radiation and chemotherapy but God has carried me through and I'm ready to give my family my Make A Wish trip to the Bahamas,'' Evans, 14, said this week. The young man has maintained an A/B in his inhome studies and is ready to move up as a high school freshman next school year. He was on the A/B honor roll and received the Scotty Strong award. Next year he wants to be back in the
posed increases in the budget. The proposed budget calls for no electric rate increase, no water rate increase, no waste water rate increase, no storm water rate increase, no increase to inside-city residents in cemetery fees, and slight changes in the sanitation, recycling and natural gas rates. The increases for a typical citizen using all city services with a house valued at $100,000 and a vehicle valued at $25,000 would be $105.92 for the year or $8.83 per month, including the 3 cents property tax increase. The sanitation fee is expected to go up from $7.63 per month to $9.54 per month and the recycling fee from $2 to $2.75 per

First Presbyterian Church changing affiliation The Elders and Rev. Greg Martin announced this week in a news release that First Presbyterian Church has joined ECO, a Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians, a rapidly growing denomination that exists to serve the local church and “reclaim a sense of covenanted biblical community.” The action was effective June 10 after an almost unanimous vote of the congregation. Previously affiliated
with Presbyterian Church (USA),”the congregation feels that ECO is more closely aligned with our beliefs and values,'' according to the news release. Clerk of Session Stella Putnam said that ECO has four main priorities, to lift up the centrality of the gospel, grow with an emerging generation of leaders and prioritize a wave of church innovation and create an atmosphere of accountability.

WIN AWARD – Ingles Market of Kings Mountain and Fashion Corner of Lawndale officials were presented awards by the Cleveland County Board of Education for community partnership with children.
Two businesses honored by county school board Ingles Market of Kings Mountain and Fashion Corner of Lawndale were both recognized and awarded by the Cleveland County Schools Board of Education on May 23 for their community partnerships with schools. Both local businesses play a part in helping students reach the required 225 hours of work-based training needed to graduate with an Occupational Course of Study (OCS)
diploma. These hours can take the form of job shadowing, internships, tours of local businesses, situational assessments, and job sampling. Students are placed at different job sites every nine weeks, where they discover career interests and develop various occupational-specific skills in their rotations. “The students in Cleveland County Schools are pursuing a high school
diploma through the occupational course of study, and they’re lucky to have a wide range of supportive businesses that care about their success,” said Dr. Nellie Aspel, director of exceptional children in Cleveland County. Ingles is the 2016 recipient of the Cleveland County OCS Employer of the Year Award. Fashion Corner was the recipient of the county-level award last year, which led Laura
Tharrington, EC teacher at Burns High, to nominate Fashion Corner for the state-level Employer of the Year Award this year. The local business was chosen as the winner by the North Carolina Division of Career Development and Transition (NC-DCDT). Tharrington recognized Gwen Champion, owner of Fashion Corner, for creating opportunities for OCS students to receive community-based instruction and
for getting to know them on a personal level. “Gwen is not only their manager while they are there, but she also becomes their friend, their mentor, and their role model," Tharrington said at the meeting. "She teaches our students all aspects of running a retail business, but more importantly, she teaches them life lessons." She said Champion taught students customer service and occupational
skills, such as hanging up clothes, dressing up mannequins, and pricing items. “Our students are and will be productive members of society as they transition into life after high school,” said Ms. Tharrington. “It is people like Gwen and businesses like the Fashion Corner that provide the community-based instruction and teach the life skills that will help them to be successful.”

Letter To Editor
Orlando After Dawn To all the families that lost loved ones in the mass shootings at the Orlando night club my condolences go out to you. To those wounded and their families, I am sorry you went through this and pray you all recover quickly. To the wounded first responders, God Bless you. I felt compelled to make that statement since I have so strongly opposed the agenda and the lifestyle of homosexuals. I will continue to stand up for one man-one woman marriage and against transgender choice of restrooms and against the pride of sinful activity, yet I will never condone violence against any of these persons or groups, except keeping a pervert away from my wife, daughter or grandchildren. It is my hope that a few good things can come from this horrific attack. One being that the homosexual people will now realize how bad Islam hates them. (Yes, I hate the gay lifestyle but not them individually). Another is that this will give the homosexuals that survived and those around the country a wake up call that they might come to know God, ask forgiveness and change. A third is that no one blames this killing on guns, yet I already see that happening from President Obama and the liberal press. One comment I heard and agree with is that this was a hate crime and would have been carried out by knife, bomb, poison or some other method of killing even if guns were not available. Keep in mind as democrats tell you Islam is a
peaceful religion that all these type acts have been committed by muslims. Our President is calling it domestic terrorism! Sure it happened on our soil and maybe our law enforcement may never find a direct communication from ISIS to the killer, yet they admit he has several times said he was doing it for ISIS. That makes it terrorism from ISIS. Strange too, that at the first law enforcement press conference a muslim was allowed to speak as an authority on the killings. Be mindful too that President Obama continues to use the term ISIL instead of ISIS to talk about terrorism. ISIL is a broad term covering virtually all of the middle-east including Israel and we all know Israel is not involved. It is time to realize and understand that muslims, particularly ISIS hates everything about our country including homosexuals, Christians, the fact that women are considered equal and children are being loved and nurtured rather than exploited. Based on our current situations I firmly believe that we have to support Trump for President because of the policies he has said he will set in place for our protection as a country. Hillary Clinton has said openly time and time again that she will continue Obama’s policies and that is a really scary thought. Stay vigilant, stay strong and pray that God may Bless.

Boy Scouting in Kings Mountain Introduction to Series I have been a Scout Leader in Kings Mountain for over 30 years and over 5 years in Chattanooga, TN. I was a Cub Scout and Boy Scout for 10 years as a youth. Understandably Scouting is a big part of my life. Last year, I had the enjoyable opportunity to write short biographical sketches of Eagle Scouts Among Us. The Herald is now allowing me to start a new series on Boy Scouts in Kings Mountain. Activities, camping trips and recognition our local scouts and leaders will be reported. Additionally areas and aspects of Scouting will be presented.
What Are the Mission, Aims, and Methods of Scouting? By JIM FEREBEE This article is based on and excerpted from BSA Troop Leader Guidebook. It explains these topics better that I could express. Scouting isn’t just a fun outdoor program. As Lord Baden-Powell (the founder of scouting) said, it’s a game with a purpose. BSA Mission Statement “To prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law” Aims of Boy Scouting • Character Development • Citizenship Training • Physical, Emotional, and Mental Fitness Methods of Boy Scouting • Adult Association During adolescence, boys begin looking for guidance from adults other than their parents. Boy
Scouting offers Scouts positive role models in the form of Scoutmasters and other adult leaders. As boys move into leadership positions in the troop, adults become their colleagues, assisting them in running the program. •Advancement Boy Scouting’s ranks, merit badges, and special awards recognize Scouts for learning skills and taking on responsibilities. • Ideals The ideals of Boy Scouting are spelled out in the Scout Oath, the Scout Law, the motto, and the Scout slogan. The Scout measures himself against these ideals and continually tried to improve. Incorporating the ideals into their daily lives is showing Scout spirit. •Leadership Development Through formal training, informal coaching, and on-the-job See BOY SCOUTS, Page 7A

■ MEDITATION
What are you afraid of? (4 Part Series - Part 3) As I begin part three of my four part series on fear, I am glad to say “tooth watch 2016” has come to an end. My son overcame his fear last DR. JONATHAN week and asM. BUNDON sisted in pulling Worship Pastor his tooth. No First Baptist Church doubt, he was still nervous and scared. Nevertheless, he gave me the okay to pull it. Why? Because his love and trust in me was greater than his fear. I asked my boy, “Do I love you and do you love me?” “Do you trust me?” He answered “yes.” In the end, his love and trust was greater than his fear. I didn’t tell
him it wouldn’t hurt. I knew pulling the tooth would hurt a bit and it would bleed too. I didn’t lie to him, but what I did tell him to do was to trust me. In much the same way, God asks us to trust Him even though we may be afraid. In John 16:33, we see Jesus talking with his disciples concerning matters yet to come (His arrest, trial, death, burial, resurrection, and the work of the Holy Spirit). Jesus didn’t sugar coat what was about to take place. Jesus knew life would be difficult for them, and they would suffer greatly. With this in mind, Jesus comforted them, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Tradition holds that only one disciple died a “natural” death,
while the rest suffered martyrdom. Regardless of circumstance, the disciples remained faithful to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. You and I can and will face fear. The tragedy in Orlando reminds us of that fact. We scan the headlines only to read about another shooting or senseless act of violence. The evidence of a fallen world is all around us. Jesus, therefore, reminds us to take heart. He has overcome the world. I pose a similar question I asked my son, “Do you love and trust Jesus? Do you believe He loves you?” If you answered yes, take heart and let the love of Christ overcome fear. Be encouraged, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self-control.” 2 Timothy 1:7

LIBERTY MOUNTAIN: growing up
LIBERTY MOUNTAIN – Darrell King, who portrays Rev. McKenzie, Director Caleb Sigmon, Rotarian Shirley Brutko, and Jake Duval-Early as Major Patrick Ferguson, of the cast of Liberty Mountain, were guests of Mrs. Brutko at the June 9 meeting of Kings Mountain Rotary Club. Along with their enthusiasm for this year’s production of Liberty Mountain, the actors shared their impressions of Kings Mountain and its citizenry. KM ROTARY PHOTO From Page 1A
Early tickets sales indicate that the appeal of Liberty Mountain is reaching an ever-widening audience, geographically and demographically. The word is getting out about this story, its importance to American history, and the quality of the production. A lot of people come back year after year because they know they’ll see something fresh and exciting. And more are coming from across the Carolinas and the Southeast. Liberty Mountain is growing in importance as an economic boost to Kings Mountain and Cleveland County. When people come to see the play, they need meals and accommodations. They shop in local stores. They make a significant and growing economic impact on the community. For that reason alone, it’s worth supporting and nurturing by local folks, businesses, civic organizations and government. When our theatre company feels that support, it makes us want to
work even harder to put on a production the community will be proud of. Another well-known historical drama, The Lost Colony, is celebrating its 75th anniversary this year on the North Carolina coast. That’s what Liberty Mountain aspires to. We want to be around for generations in the future to enjoy and appreciate. We work toward that goal one year at a time, and we measure success by how well we entertain and inform our audiences. The Battle of Kings Mountain in 1780 was the turning point in America’s struggle for independence from Great Britain. It continues to have a profound impact on the America we know today. So to quote our motto, come “Join The Revolution” with us in our 2016 season. Everything you need to know about the production – dates, times, online ticket ordering -- is available on our website: www.libertymountaindrama.com. I’ll see you at the show.
LIBRARY: kicks-off Summer Reading From Page 1A “We have seen a significant increase in participation for all ages in summer reading programs at our library in the past 10 years,” stated Sharon Stack, Mauney Library Director. Stack continued, “We are looking forward to another record breaking year and have over a 1000 children, teens and adults registered.” One of our most exciting features is that you can participate on any mobile device. Just find us online register and play! We kicked off our program with Flow Circus, a juggling and magic program that teaches the benefit of practice with 270 in attendance. Anthony
Vagnozzi led his Eagle Scout project supporting Operation Gratitude with the making of paracord bracelets for our military troops. Nearly 50 children and parents helped Anthony with this project on Monday night. ''So take a book along to the park, an audio book along on a long car trip, or even break out the comic books. In fact, people of all ages can have fun reading and earning prizes from your public library,'' said Stack. Jacob S. Mauney Memorial Library is a municipal library founded in 1936 and funded by the citizens of Kings Mountain.

Tales from the Farmers Market “In 1837, the farmers had had enough… They revolted – refusing to plant, sell.” Panic had ensued across the nation. Although not as radical, our farmers market today embraces the same spirit of change as those farming pioneers almost 180 years ago. While this is not a new approach, it is organized and full of fresh ideas for our community. A food and craft inspired revolution has come to town and in more ways than one. Last Thursday in the blazing late afternoon sun, the farmers market in Patriots park was transported back to the Battle of Kings Mountain in 1780 by characters from Liberty Mountain, who appeared in full period costume. The Fultons sang from the gazebo, entertaining parents watching their children play in the splash pad and those members of the community who came to peruse goods exhibited by farmers and artisans alike. The farmers market has come to town, so please join the Thursday revolution. This week I would like to share one of my favorite recipes, Turkish Green beans. All the ingredients have made their appearance at the market so shopping for them could not be easier. Essentially they are stewed green beans. I have found with soups and stewed vegeta-

I think it’s the olive oil, I could bathe in it. My parents visited Turkey in the 1990’s and brought back a recipe book for me to drool over. Though some of those recipes are for special occasions, I cook these green beans frequently because they are so easy and always taste good. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
bles, that time is the most important ingredient, where the true flavor develops. With this recipe and others to follow, measurements are not always given, but like ‘the force’ this is something you feel and develop with practice. This recipe is from Turkey, I absolutely love middle eastern cooking,

BOY SCOUTING:
AARON From Page 1A
headache for the teen last October was a life-changing experience. Braces or growing pains was thought to be the cause of his persistent headaches in which he screamed at pain that would not go away. He was diagnosed with a growing tumor the size of a grapefruit, a low grade Giloma or a highly aggressive brain cancer. Aaron has undergone two brain surgeries. The second tumor biopsy showed a grade 2-3 Anaplastic Actrocytoma, a malignant tumor. He continues chemo treatments ( 5 days on and 23 days off) until the end of the year and MRI scans every three months to make sure all is well Evans' medical bills continue to mount but
luckily he was chosen as WBTV's Molly Grantham's Molly's Kids, and LAMA Kids Fund has helped out with hospital medical expenses. The family travels on a regular basis to Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte for Aaron's doctor appointments. Aaron is active in the youth group Oak Grove Baptist Church and the church family will host a fundraiser for him from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. on June 25. Hotdog and hamburger plates will be available for $6. The public is invited. Aaron is the son of Charlie and Jennifer Evans and he has a brother, Tavis, and two sisters, Carley and Keira. His grandparents are Carolyn Evans of Kings Mountain and Allen Evans of Blacksburg, SC and Michael Smith of Charlotte.
CHURCH: changing affiliation From Page 1A
values, she pointed out, are that “we believe that Jesus Christ must be at the center of our lives and making disciples of Jesus at the core of our ministry. We believe that the Bible is the unique and authoritative Word of God, and that it shapes our priorities. The unrivaled authority of the Bible directs our attention to be in concert with Christ's very best for our lives.” Putnam said that one very attractive part of ECO to First Presbyterian Church “is the relational accountability, which requires us to partner with other ECO churches to share our values and expand our strategies to further these goals.” She added, “We are Presbyterian. We are Reformed.
Salt and pepper to taste Heat the olive oil in a medium sauce pan. Sautee onions and peppers until translucent. Add green beans and tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat until green beans are very tender and the tomatoes have broken down. If there is not enough liquid add a little bit of vegetable broth or water. May cook anywhere from 30 min.-1hour. Like I said, they only get better over time. Serve with new potatoes or a side to your favorite meat.
We are committed to Kings Mountain. We are committed to build a flourishing church that makes disciples of Jesus Christ. Please pray for us as we strive to remain faithful to God and His Word.” Bobbi White, General Presbyter of the Presbytery of Western North Carolina, said the Presbytery stands ready to support the seeking of dismissal in a constitutionally appropriate manner and looks forward to a prompt meeting with the session of First Presbyterian. “Come join us on Sunday mornings for breakfast at 9:15, Sunday School at 9:45 a.m. and worship at 11 a.m., said the Elders and Pastor in the release.
In Kings Mountain From Page 4A experience, Scouts learn and practice how to lead others and manage projects. •Outdoors Boys don’t join Scouting to have their character developed. They join to camp, to hike, to get dirty, and to have fun. The program is built around outdoor activities. • Patrol Method Each troop is made up of patrols: groups of about eight Scouts who camp together, cook together, play together, and learn together. Scouts learn citizenship and practice leadership at the most basic level. •Personal Growth While this sounds like and aim of Boy Scouting, it is actually a method. Troop leaders ensure opportunities for growth. These include: Good Turns, patrol and troop service projects as well as
Scoutmaster Conferences and Boards of Review. Leaders look for ways to encourage each Scout to grow and stretch. Another aspect of personal growth is the religious awards program in which Scouts and receive recognition for growing in their faith. •Uniform The Boy Scout uniform does several things: It demonstrates unity with the troop and the larger Scouting movement. It minimizes the racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic differences between Scouts. It reminds the wearer that he is a Scout and is expected to act like one. And it serves as a sort of wearable trophy case where individuals can display the badges that symbolize what they have achieved in Scouting. OMHIWDMB, Jim Ferebee
Horrific Orlando, America’s Battlefield From Page 4A America get drugs. Bad guys will get weapons. Essentially, the people at Pulse night club in Orlando, Florida were stripped of weapons. Approximately 300 people were in this night club and as far as I know no one had a weapon to defend them. The bad guy had a gun. The innocent people all mourn with Orlando and the 49 families devastated with grief. This one lone shooter shot over 100 people. All of these people and families will never emotionally get over this massive rampage. We must eliminate ISIS. We cannot coddle, and embrace these people. We cannot coddle rattlesnakes and cobras. They will bite
and the result is death. I do believe in a God of love and truly people do change. However, evil and the devil do not convert to good. Poisonous vipers do not convert to playful pets.

Panthers Play 60 Camp opens for kids June 28 The camp is an effort to increase interest in team sports and inspire a healthy and active lifestyle. The non-contact camp features eight stations, which focus on keeping kids active while also incorporating football position techniques. Each camp contains a quarterback, running back, wide receiver, linebacker, special teams and other stations that focus on game-like skills. Junior sized footballs, pop-up dummies, cones, high-knee ladders and step-over dummies are utilized to present the authentic feel of a real NFL training camp. The free non-contact camp serves as an outdoor classroom which demonstrates kid’s football drills and essential life skills such as teamwork, respect, self-confidence, sportsmanship, discipline and encouragement. The event is closed to the public. No Panther players will be in attendance.
Carolina Panthers Play 60 Camp will bring the excitement and experience of an NFL training June 28 at 9 a.m. to Kings Mountain High School. Registration for the camp will be conducted at Kings Mountain Family YMCA. Call Amanda Little at 704739-9631. The grassroots camp is designed for children ages 8 to 14. It is a non-contact camp and the eight stations operate simultaneously. The clinic can accommodate up to 200 kids and lasts two hours. Elementary and/ or middle schools, youth organizations, YMCA, Boys & Girls Clubs, Boy/Girl Scouts, after school programs, church/ civic groups, etc. and youth football leagues are logical fits for the camp. However, the simplicity and mobility of the camp allow it to be incorporated into virtually any controlled environment where there is space for kids to play football.

CITY OF KINGS MOUNTAIN CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING TUESDAY, JUNE 28, 2016 INDUSTRIAL INCENTIVE FOR PROJECT FAB CASE NO. IIG – 1-6-16 The City of Kings Mountain City Council will conduct a public hearing, in accordance with G.S. 158-7.1, to solicit comments regarding the industrial incentive grants being proposed for an economic development project. Subject to public comment at the public hearing for which the notice is hereby given, the City Council proposes to officially offer an industrial incentive grant to Project FAB. In keeping with the City of Kings Mountain Industrial Incentive Grant Program, the grant is being offered for the creation of approximately 44 new full-time permanent employment positions. The anticipated net new value for the project’s industrial investment will be approximately $5,500,000. The investment and job creation are to take place at 133 Industrial Drive, Kings Mountain, NC.

Other economic benefits expected from this industrial project are the creation of 44 new full-time permanent employment positions over the next 60 months.

Simple Smartphones for Seniors Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend some smartphones that are specifically designed for seniors? My 75-year-old mother is interested in upgrading from a basic cellphone to a smartphone, but will need one that’s very easy to operate. Inquiring Daughter Dear Inquiring, I wrote about this topic just last year, but in the fast changing world of personal technology devices, there’s a new crop of simplified smartphones that have recently hit the market that are better than ever for tech-shy seniors. Here are my three top options. Doro 824 SmartEasy: Offered by Consumer Cellular, the new Doro 824 SmartEasy is one of the best, simplified smartphones available today. It starts with a bright, 5-inch high-resolution touch screen display that offers large icons and text, and customizable volume settings. Its simplified design pairs down the options, providing uncluttered, easy access to key contacts and frequently used features – such as the phone, text messages, the camera email and the Internet – right from the home screen. And, it provides help as
you go along from the built-in coach. It also offers a unique pre-installed My Doro Manager app that can also be downloaded by family or friends. This app provides a number of tutorials showing your mom how to enjoy her phone, and gives her trusted contacts the remote ability to help manage and adjust her Doro smartphone from their smartphone no matter where they are. And for added convenience and safety, the Doro 824 provides three physical buttons on the front of the phone for quick, one-touch access to the home screen, recently used applications, and a back button that returns to the previous screen. And an “Emergency Alert” button on the back of the phone that will automatically dial one, predetermined contact in the event of an emergency. The Doro 824 is sold online at ConsumerCellular.com, over the phone at 888-532-5366, or at any Target or Sears store for $200 with no contract. Jitterbug Smart: Offered by GreatCall wireless, the new 4th generation Jitterbug Smart is much bigger than
previous GreatCall smartphones. This phone is actually an Alcatel smartphone that’s been rebranded and loaded with GreatCall’s simplified user interface software. It has a big, bright 5.5-inch high-definition touch screen, and a simple single-list menu on the home page that provides easy access to only frequently used features, along with one-touch access to contacts and other apps. It also provides convenient voice typing for emails and texts, and offers a variety of optional health and safety features, like MedCoach, that sends medication and prescription refill reminders. Urgent Care, which provides unlimited access to registered nurses and doctors to answer health questions. And a 5Star medical-alert service that lets you speak to a live emergency-alert agent around the clock. These trained agents will confirm your mom’s location via GPS tracking technology and dispatch help as needed. Available online at GreatCall.com, or at Best Buy, Rite Aid, Sears and Walmart stores for $150 with a onetime $35 activation fee and no contract.
Samsung Galaxy Note5: While this smartphone isn’t designed specifically for seniors, its large size (5.7-inch screen) and unique “Easy” mode setting that boosts the icon and font sizes and simplifies the home-screen layout, makes it a good option. With the Easy mode turned on, the Note5’s home screen will display only the time, date and local weather, and six frequently used functions. To access your 12 most important contacts, you would simply swipe the home screen to the right. And to access your 12 favorites apps, swipe to the left. The Note5 (see Samsung.com/galaxynote5) is available with 32 and 64 GB of storage from the major carriers (AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, T-Mobile) and some smaller carriers at prices ranging between $615 and $840 without a contract.
