Thousands pack KM for July 4 Sky Show An estimated 5,000 people packed the Kings Mountain Walking Track and surrounding areas Monday night as they celebrated with a sky show of fireworks that Mayor Scott Neisler called the “best” he has presented in a number of years. “Liberty Mountain performers did a fantastic job and playwright Bob Inman introduced them in a mock battle scripted to a voice track,'' said the mayor. “I was just so pleased with the participation and with the people on the program
who contributed so much to our celebration of Independence Day,'' he said. The opening of the city's 4th of July at 9 p.m. included three city councilmen, mayor pro tem Mike Butler, Tommy Hawkins and Curtis Pressley presenting the welcome, the flag pledge and introducing Vietnam veteran Jim Medlin who presented the impressive, “Toast to the Flag.” Jaiden Huffman sang “The National Anthem,'' and the Loch Norman pipe band presented a patriotic medley. Members
of Kings Mountain Boy Scout Troop 93 advanced and retired the colors. Festivities got underway at the walking track at 6 p.m. with a concert of country music and Southern rock by the Chris Marks Band. Food vendors were on site and families started arriving early with their folding chairs and blankets to enjoy the event until after the fireworks extravaganza. Kings Mountain police reported no incidents during the holiday event.

Marker to African Americans Council Reappoints Gordon, Moore By Loretta Husky Cozart L i f e has a funny way of teaching us lessons as we pass through. In 2010, COZART when I thought of placing a marker to African American patriots at the Battle of Kings Mountain, I had no idea the monumental task I was undertaking. The paperwork alone was daunting. Next came the job of moving and preparing the stone for the plaque. One would think that’s a pretty easy task, right? What I learned is that moving a stone requires a ballet of heavy equipment, creative thinking, and hard-working folks to get the job done. Finding a good rock took time. We searched several local “rock dealers,” but none seemed to have what we were looking for to properly honor these men. I shared my concern with Mayor Neisler and he took on the mission of finding our rock. Scott was a life saver. The mayor reached out
to Martin Marietta and Brandon Weimer invited us to the Kings Mountain Quarry to take a look. Boy, they sure have a lot of rocks in there! So many so, that at times it felt as if we were looking for a piece of gravel in a rock pile. The hunt took several visits by Mayor Scott Neisler, Chief Park Ranger Chris Revels, and me. A few weeks
ago, we found our “perfect rock”. An even bigger challenge was moving the rock. You see, rocks seem small, but they are very, very heavy. Ours weighs exactly a ton. And, Mayor Neisler came through again, offering the City’s services to get the rock to our stonemason. So, on Thursday, June 23rd, See MARKER, Page 8

Winds brought gas smell to KM The telephones started ringing at city hall Friday morning at 9:30 a.m. “We're smelling gas,'' the callers said and wanted
to know why. At 9:30 a.m .Mayor Scott Neisler was touring the NTE site off Dixon School Road. “It was overcast and a low wind and NTE workers were working on the bridge which runs over the Transco pipe line and we started smelling gas,'' said the mayor. Turned out that the wind
was bringing the smell of gasoline from Gastonia construction where workers were purging a new gas line, the mayor reported. The mayor also reported that Duke Power 's transmission line was down Friday morning and power was out in Kings Mountain about an hour.
By 5-2, Kings Mountain City Council Tuesday night reappointed Ward 4 Councilman Rodney Gordon and former Ward 5 councilman Rick Moore GORDON to a third term on the Kings Mountain Tourism Development Authority. The acMOORE tion took a resolution amending the consecutive term limits from two consecutive terms to three consecutive terms. Both Gordon and Moore have served four years on the Authority of which the city's former Events Director Ellis Noell is executive director. Their third term will expire
in June 2018. Voting against the amendment were AtLarge Councilman Curtis Pressley, who asked that the item be removed from the consent agenda and be discussed by the full board, and At-Large councilman Keith Miller. Councilman Howard Shipp made the motion to amend the term limits to six years and approve the reappointments. Councilman Tommy Hawkins seconded the motion saying that “I second because our mayor recommends it and I value his opinion” and also voting in favor were mayor pro tem Mike Butler and councilmen Rodney Gordon and Jay Rhodes. “It takes time to develop relationships on the state level,'' said Gordon. Director Noell said that he worked with the Authority in his former position with the City of
Kings Mountain. He said the Authority, which is a five member board, also includes a representative from both the Holiday Inn Express and Quality Inn. He said the Authority's goal is to position itself both regionally and nationally to push tourism for the Kings Mountain area and to pursue and make grants in reaching those goals. A second item pulled from the consent agenda was the consideration of reestablishment/reactivating the 1967 Urban Development Commission. Council members questioned city attorney Mickey Corry, Planning Director Steve Killian and city planner Jessica Trotman aboout powers of the commission. “We thought the old commission had been dissolved but it is still registered in the Secreary of State's office,'' said Mayor Scott Neisler. The old See COUNCIL, Page 8

Council okays changes Small Business success lauded in roadside collection
Twelve downtown businesses were signaled out by Mayor Scott Neisler last week for their small business success project. The mayor said that Mauney Memorial Library, Main Street, and the city's Planning and Economic Development department partnered together and received a Library Services and Technology Act grant to hire Business and Technology Outreach Librarian Heather Sanford and other partners to work with busi-
nesses in the municipal service district to improve their confidence, skills and abilities. The mayor noted that their work is evidenced through more than 83 consultations with the Business Librarian that total more than 93 hours, 15 small business seminars, 12 security and secret shopper reports, nine new logos, nine retail interiors consultations, seven new business Facebook pages and the ongoing development of multiple

City committees appointed by Mayor, Council
A large crowd attended the Liberty Mountain Gala last week prior to the opening night of the drama.
Industrial incentive By unanimous action, city council last Tuesday approved an industrial incentive for Project FAB and authorized Mayor Scott Neisler to submit a Community Development Block Grant for $500,000 to assist two small properties in downtown Kings Mountain to rehabilitate vacant buildings that need extensive renovations.

the properties for four years. If they do decide to sell the properties, then they must repay a prorated amount of the CDBG funds allotted to them. The total project budget includes $500,000 in CDBG funds, $27,000 in local matching funds and $211,000 in private funds provided by the property owners. Any additional costs would be provided by the owners and any additional costs would be the responsibility of the two property owners. Steve Austin, Community Development Administrator, said the application Family Owned & Operated Since 1957
for funds must be made to the NC Department of Commerce under the Downtown Redevelopment Program. Austin said these funds are available to local governments to assist Main Street communities to address slum and blight by providing funds to rehabilitate vacant, obsolete downtown buildings through rehabilitation and bringing them up to current building codes. The industry involved in the industrial project with the code name FAB is in the metal fabrication sector with up to 143 existing jobs and up to 44 new jobs involved. The project site involves existing industrial buildings. The project site is served by city water, sewer and gas. Cleveland County commissioners have also voted an incentive to project FAB.

source to pull from during emergency situations that require the need for additional help to supply and maintain electrical service to city customers. Currently, the city has mutual aid agreements with ElectriCities, Chattanooga, TN, First Energy and Duke Energy.

never sink, but then your feet are always in the water.” I like that – the image of our nation as a raft, all of us sitting on it together, all getting our feet wet. Ben Franklin and Fisher Ames were telling us this republic of ours isn’t a spectator sport. We grant ourselves great individual freedoms, but in return we assume great individual responsibility. The republic doesn’t work unless we debate and vote and participate in its business. Unless we get our feet wet. It doesn’t work unless we all work at protecting its freedoms, even when – especially when – they

make us uncomfortable. We insist on the right of people to say and write things we don’t like, to have ideas and religious beliefs and lifestyles we don’t agree with. In short, to be different. We dare to be different in America, and that’s the great engine that drives our national vigor and creativity. We sometimes get things done by disturbing each other, by shaking each other out of ruts, by each of us contributing our diverse viewpoints to the whole. If we ever stop that, if we ever insist that every American be the same, we’ll turn this raft of ours into a prison.
DALLAS, N.C. – The growing demand for qualified truck drivers led three members of one local family to enroll in the Truck Driver Training Program at Gaston College. Steven A. Cook was one of 19 students who graduated from the Truck Driver Training Program on Tuesday, May 24. When he enrolled in the program in March, he followed the route his mother, Debra Knox, and his older brother, Dontavious Cooper, had taken before him. Debra had enjoyed her office jobs, but wanted to try something new. She learned that the trucking industry is increasingly hiring women to fill the shortage of qualified drivers and she decided to enroll in the Gaston College Truck Driver Training Program. She graduated in 2011 and soon began working with G&P Trucking in Gaston, S.C. She currently is employed as a driver with MDI. “The Truck Driver Training Program is the best thing I’ve ever done,” said Debra. “It’s been a great experience.” Dontavious Cooper graduated from the Gaston College Truck Driver Training Program in 2014. He had been working in the warehousing industry but, with the encouragement of his mother Debra, he decided to set his sights on a career in trucking. He is working at Premier Trucking. Steven, who also had been working in warehousing, saw the opportunities that the Truck Driver Training Program opened up for both his mother and brother. Now that he has graduated, he is joining them in this rewarding career. He is currently going through

Freedom to be different By BOB INMAN One of my favorite books is Miracle at Philadelphia by INMAN Catherine Drinker Bowen, the story of the making of America’s constitution in 1787. It was indeed a miracle, especially since so many people had a hand in it. I dare say our constitution is the best work ever done by a committee – anytime, anywhere. When the delegates left Independence Hall on September 17th after finishing their work, a woman in the crowd asked Benjamin Franklin, “What have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” And Franklin answered, “A republic, if you can keep it Eight years later, in a speech to Congress, Fisher Ames talked about the difference between a monarchy and a republic: “A monarchy,” he said, “is a merchantman which sails well, but will sometimes strike on a rock and go to the bottom; a republic is like a raft which will

MY ARUBA-DOO! And, oh yeah, did I mention? By the time I like it! you read this, Now I know there are dear reader, we some that don’t like it. They will be in Aruba, probably thought that wave Lord willing. In in the front was cute. (Don’t anticipation of the know if you can say, “the paswarm weather and tor looks sexy with that wavy almost daily trips hair.”) And maybe it wouldn’t to the beach, (I JAMES know, it’s a dirty LOCHRIDGE, JR. feel so good in the winter in 29G, Kamay, NC. But we will be where the job, but someone Noord, Aruba temp is around 90 degrees all has to do it) I got year long. It cools down into my wife to give me a haircut. We used the one the 80s at night, but the trade eighth inch, #1, clipper guard on winds blow across the island conour clippers. No more combing. stantly making even the midday No more hair tonic and/or styling heat quite pleasant in the shade. Besides it’s my hair, so why gel. And it feels great when you rub it against the grain. And no should I care whether other peomore stupid wave in the front. ple think it looks good or not.
Like so many things in life, this made me think of a Scripture verse. 1 Samuel 16:7 says, “But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. (Samuel was looking for a king for Israel) For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” Now that’s scary. I mean I can take a bath, use underarm deodorant, comb my hair, (well, I used to could) dress in my finest Sunday-go-to-meetin’ clothes and pass myself off as a decent, repectable, and to some, not so bad looking guy. “But the LORD looks at the heart.”
Now that’s an altogether horse of a different color. I find cleaning my heart a harder task. In fact, in Genesis 6:5, we read, “Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” And unfortunately, time doesn’t heal a sinful heart. And cleaning up the outside doesn’t cleanse the inside. Only Jesus was able to offer a fix for my sinfulness; for your sinfulness. The perfect Lamb of God took our sin upon himself and suffering in our place, died the death we deserve for sinning against God, rose in victory, conquering sin, Satan, and the grave so that he could offer us eternal and abundant life. Then when we receive His free gift of salvation, He forgives our
sin and cleanses us from all unrighteousness, He gives us His Word to guide our lives which when obeyed results in the continual cleansing of the inside and major improvements on the outside. I got rid of that awful wave, the wind blown look, hat - hair, and several other unsightly problems with a haircut. Any improvements are simply a matter of taste and personal preference. But only Jesus could turn my evil heart to one that seeks after Him and reflects His presence in me to the world. I am not all that concerned about your hair-do or mine, but I do care about your heart, because my LORD does. Surrender to Him. I know you’ll be glad you did. I am. And I like my Aruba-doo too!

KM Shutter Light group Photo Scavenger Hunt Kings Mountain's local camera club, the ShutterLight Group, met downtown at Gateway Brew to participate in a “Photo Scavenger Hunt.” Members were given a list of 10 items to photograph. Each photographer was encouraged to interpret the list as they chose. The most important thing was to take the images in a creative way by thinking “outside of the box” and using their knowledge of composition, lighting and camera setting. Members posted their photos for each category on the ShutterLight Photo Club Facebook page. During the following week members chose their favorite image for each category. All photos were taken in downtown Kings Mountain. Top photos in each category are pictured. The ShutterLight Group meets the third Tuesday of each month at the Southern Arts Society. For more information on the meetings call the Art Center at 704739-5585 or email Ellen Devenny at shutterlightgroup@gmail.com

Buzzard on power line cause of outage Friday A buzzard electrocuted on Duke Energy's 44 Kv Transmission line is the culprit that probably caused a power outage at Delivery No. 2 on Friday about 11 a.m. Electricity was only out one hour and 20 minutes. City Manager Marilyn Sellers said that Duke is in the process of verifying the problem that happened. Sellers said the city will be working with Duke Energy to mitigate these issues in the future.

MARKER: to African Americans From Page 1 the process began to turn a rock into a marker honoring men. I’d like to thank the employees of the Martin Marietta Kings Mountain Quarry for their help on this project. Brandon Weimer shared his sentiment best when he wrote, “We are thankful that you chose us to be a part of memorializing the men who fought for our independence!” The City of Kings Mountain provided the equipment and manpower to get the rock to the stonemason. Reece Lovelace and Josh Bowen helped get the stone from the mine, onto the pallet, and then to Icon Stone Masonry to prepare the stone for the plaque. These guys did a great job and were pleased to be a part of the project, even on one of the hottest days of the year. Reece even told me, “It makes sense to get the rock
from the Martin Marietta Kings Mountain Quarry, because their quarry is so close to the site of the Battle of Kings Mountain.” I would like to thank the National Park Service, especially Superintendent John Slaughter, and Rangers Chris Revels, Katherine Lynn, and Leah Taber for their assistance over the years working on this project, too. Our local sponsors helped raise the $1,100 we needed to qualify for a DAR matching funds grant. The citizens and businesses of Kings Mountain have embraced this project and shown so much support. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart, because without everyone’s help this couldn’t be done. Finally, I’d like to thank Mayor Scott Neisler and the City of Kings Mountain for all the support in getting this project “off the ground”. It truly takes a City and its citizens to see a project like this
through to completion. And, our Kings Mountain community supported this project 100%. What started out as an idea in my mind, resulted in many people making significant sacrifices to make it a reality. Together, we will place the only marker installed at the Kings Mountain National Military Park in nearly 70 years. We should take pride in this accomplishment as a community. Two hundred thirty-six years after the battle, we can properly thank these men for helping win for us our seal of independence. The DAR grants program was started in 2010. Funding is awarded to support projects in local communities which promote the organization’s mission areas of historic preservation, education and patriotism. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote patriotism,
COUNCIL: Reappoints Gordon, Moore From Page 1 commission had more powers than is currenctly authorized by the state and the city planning department, with the city attorney's help, will outline the new powers for the current commission. The mayor said the reactivation of the urban development commission is necessary for the city to receive two downtown grants to rehab buildings in addition to working on more grants for future buildings elsewhere in the city. Trotman said that the reactivated commission would include one member appointed by each of the seven council members with staggered terms. No compensation would be offered for their service. A memorandum to council members listed examples as follows: Ward 1 term, ending June 30, 2019; Ward 2 term ending June 30, 2018; Ward 3 term ending June 30, 2017; Ward 4 term ending June 30, 2019; Ward 5 term ending June 30, 2018; At large No. 1 ending June 30, 2017; and at large No. 2 term ending June 30, 2019. Planning staff said four to six meetings would be held each year to get quarterly updates and additional meetings in case of decisions necessary for the implementation of the redevelopment plan by city council.
Killian said it's important for council to make appointments as soon as possible to get Community Block grant monies released in October. The draft redevelopment plan has to be approved by city council and council asked the planning department to bring back recommendations to the July meeting. The Kings Mountain Tourism Development Authority(KMTDA) was formed in 2002 with the help from the North Carolina Legislature and the late Kings Mountain City Council member, Carl DeVane. Since its’ inception, the KMTDA has collected 6% Occupancy Tax, split with Cleveland County, to be used primarily through grants for Kings Mountain non-profits in advertising and promotion of events. “In addition to the grant program supporting non-profits, we’re also in the business of destination marketing and do so regionally, statewide and nationally to encourage visitors to discover Kings Mountain. The battle that was the turning point of the Revolutionary War was fought here, and is a great historical event to embrace to help market our city. You’ll see the historical aspects of Revolutionary War theme in such efforts like “Liberty Mountain”, the “Turning Point: The Battle
of KIngs Mountain” exhibit at the Historical Museum, the “Revolutionary 4th” and the Gateway Festival. All have elements of this connection to our nation’s history in their programming. Designated by our National Park Service as the Gateway City to all of our three area parks, we also reach out to those park visitors (now approaching 1.5 million this year) to visit and stay awhile in Kings Mountain. With those visits come room nights booked at local hotels, restaurants being visited and shoppers that enjoying and exploring our downtown. There is strong economic impact from travel and tourism for the city”, said Ellis Noell, KMTDA Executive Director. “Tourism is one of North Carolina’s largest industries, with visitor spending over $21 billion in visitors spending and employing over 200,000 North Carolina residents”, added Noell, “and, the many other events, the “Real to Reel” film festival at the Joy Performing Arts Center, the National Watercolor Show at the Southern Arts Depot, the Christmas Train Exhibit at the Museum, events at the Gateway Trail draw thousands to Kings Mountain every year. We’re fortunate to have so many great partnerships”.

What’s In Your Suitcase When you go on vacation? By Caromont Health, Gastonia Special to The Herald
screens with the purchase date to avoid confusion in the future.”
GASTONIA, NC— Summer is finally here! For many, this means leisurely mornings, afternoon naps and putting the final touches on your summer vacation plans. Just as important as remembering to pack your bathing suit and flip-flops is making sure to include some less obvious items that can help you stay safe on your next vacation. Apply sunscreen! There’s nothing worse than starting off your first day of vacation with a painful sunburn. Not only are you dealing with sensitive, damaged skin for the duration of your time away, you’ve now raised your risk for skin cancer. Whether your vacation plans involve a day at the beach or hiking, it’s important to protect yourself from the sun. Load up on sunscreen with SPF of 30 or more. An adult needs to use 2 ounces (about the size of a shot glass) every time they apply. Look for lotions labeled “broad spectrum” and water-resistant, and for toddlers and children more than six months of age, sunscreen containing titanium dioxide and zinc oxide tend to be less irritating to young, sensitive skin. Be sure double-check the expiration date on your sunscreen. Lotions or sprays that are out of date lose their effectiveness. “If the expiration date is not determinable, discard sunscreen if you’ve had it longer than three years,” recommends Dermatologist Ashley Walker, MD, CaroMont Dermatology. “Changes in the color or consistency of the sunscreen may also indicate expired or ineffective sunscreen. When in doubt, throw it out. A good tip is to label your sun-
Wear protective clothing! For additional coverage protection, it’s a good idea to throw a hat and sunglasses in your travel bag. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to cataracts or macular degeneration later in life, so good sunglasses are important to protect your eyes. Widebrimmed hats are not only a great accessory item, but they help shield your face and eyes from the sun. There are also many clothing choices that offer sun protection – these are available at most sporting goods stores and the SPF will be listed on the tag. Pack your antibacterial wipes and hand sanitizer! Ask any parent, you can never have enough antibacterial wipes or hand sanitizer. Keep travel size packs of wipes and sanitizer handy that you can pull out at a moment’s notice. Wipes are perfect to wipe down surfaces in restaurants and on airplanes. Keep hands germ-free using small bottles of hand sanitizer, which are great for travel and everyday use. Grab a water bottle! Staying hydrated is especially important when it’s hot outside, and drinking lots of water will help make sure you feel your best and avoid the fatigue, dizziness and headaches that can be associated with dehydration. Pack a few bottled waters or reusable water bottles to use throughout your trip, rather than having to haul around a heavy 24-pack everywhere you go. Not only will this save you money, but it’s great for the environment too. One exception to this is if you’re traveling to an area that may not have drink-

able water. In this case, it’s best to buy bottled water or water that has already been filtered and is ready for consumption. Pack your first-aid kit! Be sure to think about where you’re going on your vacation and whether you will have access to health items and supplies. Play it safe and throw in a small first-aid kit when you travel. It should contain band-aids, antibacterial ointment, overthe-counter pain relievers, athletic tape, tweezers and other essential items. It’s good practice to keep a travel kit in your car at all times and not just when you’re on vacation. Make sure you bring your health insurance card and other information! Plan for the worst and hope for the best. Make sure you pack your health insurance member ID card along with photo copies in case you lose it while you are traveling. “Before you go on vacation, it’s a good idea to talk to your health insurance company to see if your benefits will cover you when you’re away and make sure you understand your coverage options if you or your kids get sick or injured,” said Donna Finley, Director of Patient Financial Services at CaroMont Health. If you’re taking any prescription medicines, pack enough to last for the entire trip and maybe a few extras in case your travel plans are prolonged for some reason. The U.S. Department of State recommends carrying copies of your prescription medicines and if you’re traveling out of the country, a letter from your doctor for these prescriptions due to different countries’ laws about over-the-counter medications.

Boy Scouts in Kings Mountain
Troop 92 Camps in Gorges State Park By Jim Ferebee Over the weekend of May 20-22, 2016, fourteen scouts and two leaders (David Estridge-SM and Aaron Simmons-Troop Committee Chair) backpacked into the Gorges State Park. After prepping all of the packs for the rain, they set out on the trail at 10:00 PM on Friday evening. It was pitch dark with a steady drizzle. Using flashlights and headlamps they hiked over five miles to the camp site and set up their tents. By the time all groups had arrived, it was around 2:00 AM. After “bear bagging” their food all turned in to sleep until the late hour 9:00 AM. There were Scouts working on Cooking Merit Badge and younger Scouts passing off requirements including hiking, camp site selection, and setting
up tents. During their free time on Saturday, they crossed two suspension bridges and played in the extremely cold water of the Toxaway River. That evening everyone enjoyed the warmth and comradery of the campfire. On Sunday, after hiking the five plus miles out, the Scouts enjoyed a pizza lunch and held a youth led religious service from the book of Joshua. This was the first backpacking trip for seven of the Scouts, ages ranged from 11 to 17 years old. Observations by the leaders were that, while hiking in the rain and dark were not the most desirable all Scouts handled it well. The most positive aspect was how the older scouts helped the younger boys and made the trip a memorable experience.
Scouter Jim Ferebee likes to feature activities of Boy Scouts in the community. This week Ferebee features Troop 92 of Kings Mountain back packing in Gorges State Park in Georgia. He said the Scouts learned lots and had a great time together.

KM student celebrates win by Chanticleers in Omaha Alayna Pearson had big reason to celebrate last week. As a rising Junior at Coastal Carolina University she watched as her Chanticleers won the College World Series in Omaha, NE. As an avid baseball fan, along with her Dad, Bobby Pearson, they went to Omaha tos upport the Chanticleers as they made their first ever trip to the CWS. Although they had to come back before the best 2 out of 3 Championship series with the University of Arizona started, they watched the final three games at
home. As the final out was recorded there was a celebration going on in the Pearson household. Alayna and her mom, Traci were at Springs Brook Stadium the following day as the team returned to a welcome home parade and celebration. Alayna has always been proud to be a Chanticleer but even more so now as the nation watched Coastal, with a student population of just over 10,000 students not only compete with the big boys but beat them to bring the National Championship home to Conway SC.

or download a relaxation playlist on your phone. Better yet, put your phone down. In all of our efforts to do more, produce better results and take on more responsibility, we have lives filled with some form of stress, even if we don’t always acknowledge it. Vacations have a good way of interrupting the stress cycle and temporarily allowing us a chance to press the reboot button. So, if you’re looking for permission to cut the cord, take a breath and disconnect from the world for a moment, here’s your ticket. It’s yours for the taking. Bon voyage!

Great Gadgets for Aging Golfers Dear Savvy Senior, Can you recommend any products that can help older golfers? I love to play golf, but at age 74, I have hip and back problems that make bending over to tee up or pick up the ball difficult. And I have arthritis in my thumbs that makes griping the club a problem. Ailing Eddy Dear Eddy, There are actually a wide variety of nifty golf accessories and adaptive equipment that can help older golfers who struggle with injuries, arthritis or loss of mobility. Here are several products for different needs. Bending Substitutes The game of golf requires a lot of repetitive bending and stooping that comes with teeing up the ball, repairing divots, marking the ball on the green, retrieving a ball or tee on the ground, along with picking up a club, sand rake or flag stick off the ground. For teeing up the ball without bending over, consider one of the Northcroft Golf Tee-Up devices. These are long-handled tools (1.5 to 3 feet long) that have trigger-style handgrips and a jaw that
holds the ball and tee for easy placement. They cost between $69 and $72 and are available at NorthcroftGolf.com. For other tee-up solutions, see the Tee Pal ($55, TeePalPro.com) and Joe’s Original Backtee ($15, UprightGolf.com). NorthcroftGolf.com and UprightGolf. com also offer a variety of stoop-proof ball pickup accessories, divot repair and magnetic ball marker products ranging between $5 and $12. Or, if you just want a great all-around golf picker-upper, consider the Graball GrabAll Jaw – sold through Amazon.com for $10 for a package of two. It attaches to the handle end of your putter and chipper and is designed to pick up golf balls, flagsticks, putters and green side chippers. Gripping Aids To help alleviate your golf club gripping problem, there are specially designed golf gloves and grips that can make a big difference. The best gloves are the Bionic Golf Gloves (BionicGloves.com) that have extra padding in the palm and finger joints to improve grip. And the Power Glove
(PowerGlove.com) that has a small strap attached to the glove that loops around the club grip to secure it in your hand. These run between $20 and $30. Another option is to get oversized grips installed on your clubs. This can make gripping the club easier and more comfortable, and are also very good at absorbing shock. Oversized grips are usually either one-sixteenth-inch or one-eighth-inch larger in diameter than a standard grip, and cost around $10 per grip. You can find these grips and have them installed at your local golf store or pro shop. Or, for a grip-and-glove combination fix, consider the Quantum Grip (QuantumGrip.com) that incorporates Velcro material recessed in the golf club grip and a companion golf glove that has mating Velcro material in the palm. Cost: $20 per grip, plus $35 per glove. Vision Helper If vision problems make finding the ball difficult, Chromax golf balls (ChromaxGolf.com) can make a big difference. These are reflective colored golf balls that make them appear larger and brighter. Cost: $10.50 for a three-pack.
Ergonomic Carts There are also ergonomically designed golf carts that can help you transport your golf clubs around the course. If you like to walk, the Sun Mountain Sports Micro-Cart, V1 Sport Cart or Reflex Cart are great options. These are three and four-wheeled, lightweight push carts that that fold into a compact size for easy transport. Available at SunMountain.com for $200, $210 and $230. Or, for severe mobility loss, the SoloRider specialized electric golf cart (SoloRider.com) provides the ability to play from a seated or standing-but-supported position. Retailing for $9,450, plus a $550 shipping fee, this cart is lightweight and precisely balanced so it can be driven on tee boxes and greens without causing any damage. Federal ADA laws require that all publically owned golf courses allow them. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org.
