Veteran’s organizations Back the Blue Monday Back the Blue, a cookout honoring law enforcement, first responders, rescue squads and firemen, attracted a large crowd to American Legion Post 155 Monday from 5-8 p.m. “We want you all to know that we appreciate you,'' said Post 155 Commander Claude Pearson. Pearson's remarks were echoed by Mayor Scott Neisler and by Legion Rider and Legion officer Rick Hamrick. The barbecue and hotdog cookout was hosted by the American Legion, the American Legion Riders, and the Sons of the American Legion with American Legion Auxiliary members assisting in serving the dinner. Hamrick said the event
was planned as an appreciation for the services and sacrifice of those who protect and serve our community. “We are a Legion family and we are honoring you folks who serve our community,'' said Hamrick. Mayor Scott Neisler also thanked law enforcement, firemen, and first responders for their service to the community and the Legion groups for hosting the event. City councilmen Rodney Gordon and Tommy Hawkins, Sheriff Alan Norman, Captain Jerry Tesenair, Sgt. Lisa Proctor, Fire Chief Frank Burns, numerous police and fire department members and first responders were among guests.

City vs. Duke win, win for all Negotiations between the City of Kings Mountain and Duke Energy have been ongoing for the last 12-18 months regarding the city's electric

settlement and it was finalized with the assistance of the Federal Energy Regulation Commission judge overseeing the negotiations.

New CHCS service cuts wait time at urgent cares A new service announced Monday by Carolinas Health Care System will cut wait time at all 28 urgent care locations, including area locations in Shelby and Gastonia. Patients will electronically reserve a spot in line by clicking on their smart phone, computer or tablet. Once they select an urgent care reservation time and opt in to receive text message updates, they will receive alerts when the reservation time is approaching. For decades, urgent cares have been built as walk-in facilities, with no way of reserving a time to see a pro-
vider. Now, patients can treat an urgent care visit the same way they treat checking in for an airline reservation and then wait from a convenient place – whether it's on their c ouch or at a coffee shop- and still get in to see an urgent care provider. “One of my biggest concerns was bringing my daughter into the doctor and sitting in the 'sick room' for an indefinite amount of time. I always preferred to stand outside, no matter the weather,'' said Karen Sullivan, a Carolinas HealthCare System patient. “After I started reserving a spot in line, I haven't waited more than five minutes in the waiting room. It takes a lot of stress off our family.” “Our top priority is to
give our patients the best care possible so they can get back to their daily lives feeling better as soon as possible,'' said Steve Jones, vice president, Carolinas HealthCare System's urgent care division. “Through the new online reservation system, a parent tending to a sick child at home doesn't have to leave home until it's close to their urgent care reservation. We're cutting down on inefficient uses of time and accommodating everyone's busy schedules, while creating a more seamless experience for our urgent care patients.'' Urgent care locations nearby are at 1010 E. Dixon Blvd., Suite B, Shelby, NC 28152 and 603 Cox Road, Gastonia, NC 28054.

The State Financial Officers Foundation (SFOF) recently commissioned a national Google Consumer Survey asking Americans, “Who do you believe is the most trustworthy source of information about state financial matters and public funds?” The results showed an overwhelming majority trusting State Treasurers over Governors and legislators when it comes to financial matters with their respective states. 66.9 percent of those surveyed said they trust the State Treasurer when it comes to state financial matters while only 18.2 percent said they trusted their Governor. Only 14.9 percent of those surveyed said they trusted their legislator regarding state financial matters. The online survey taken between May 17 and May 19, 2016 had 761 responses from a national adult internet population. “Americans have made it clear that on state fiscal matters the people trust their state treasurer more than any other state elected office,” said Derek Kreifels, President of the State Financial Officers Foundation. This puts State Treasurers in a unique position to have a major impact on public policy.
“When a state treasurer talks – the people listen,” said Kreifels. State Treasurers are acting as financial watch dogs holding governors and legislators accountable to how public funds are being managed and spent. Some have even been referred to as their state’s “fiscal hawk.” “In addition to serving as the states’ Chief Financial Officer, State Treasurers from coast to coast are becoming an implementation strategy for many who desire to impact financial public policy. Many of them sit on boards of public pension funds, various investment funds, administer unclaimed property and 529 college savings programs,” said Kreifels. The SFOF’s motto encourages its supporters to “look to the states.” With continuous gridlock in the halls of Congress in Washington, DC, never has a time in history been as important to pay extra close attention to these races for state treasurer. “State Treasurers and other elected financial officers are in the trenches evaluating their state’s fiscal health on a daily basis. The issues they deal with are typically pretty cut and dry. There’s no gray when it comes to public finance,’’ said Kreifels. StateTreasurers are up for election this November in nine states. Those states include Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Utah, Vermont, Washington and West Virginia. DEREK KREIFELS State Financial Officers Foundation
TRUMP
CLINTON
To read Clinton’s entire position on military veterans issues and national security, visit www.hillaryclinton.com/issues Trump proposes “to make our military so big, powerful and strong that no one will mess with us.” If he is elected the Commander-In-Chief, his proposal for VA reform includes increasing funding
for mental health resource for veterans, better care for women veterans, and modernizing VA Centers with better 21st Century state-of-the-art technology. To read Trump’s position on VA reform, visit www. donaldjtrump.com The American Legion is the world’s largest wartime veterans service organization with 2.2 million members in more than 13,000 posts in communities across the nation. The Legion was instrumental in getting the original GI Bill through Congress and the creation of the Department of Military Affairs. The Legion, the Auxiliary, and Sons of the Le-
gion comprise nearly 4 million members nationwide. For security reasons we will be standing in security lines, then sitting in a convention hall for an hour or more before the candidate comes in and then sitting another hour after the candidate leaves the building. When candidates come to our conventions schedules are changed drastically but one perk, if you want to call it that, for past National President like me is a seat on the platform where I, and other past Commanders and Presidents, get a real good luck at the candidates.
Looking back from the Thursday, Aug. 25, 1994 edition of The Kings Mountain Herald Dr. Scott Mayse made it official today that he is closing his 15-year medical practice. He will join the practice of First Charlotte Physicians, a large Internal Medicine Group in Charlotte, affiliated with Presbyterian Hospital and will be working in the Branch Office at University Medical Park near UNCC and admitting his patients to Charlotte Presbyterian Hospital.

Lucille and husband, George, chose to vacation in St. Petersburg, Florida. “This Bud is for You” was the headline on a story on the sports page. Bud Bumgardner, a popular

Stereotyping Is Never A Good Idea We often hear about the crimes and homicides that take place in Chicago and in particular the south side of Chicago. The murder and overall crime rate is frightening. Glenn Mollette I wouldn’t want Guest Editorial to walk around the streets of Roseland, Englewood or a number of Chicago neighborhoods at night. Actually, I don’t think I would want to walk around them during the day. However, that is not to say that all or even a large number of people in South Chicago are hoodlums. I think just the opposite; most of the people are good and decent. Last Sunday, I spoke at a church in Roseland and spent almost five hours with a group of very sweet, kind people who live in this neighborhood and 99.9% of the group was African American. My wife and I had a beautiful time with these people. I asked the pastor who lives in the neighborhood if he felt safe and he replied no. He went on to tell me that he never lets his grandkids out alone to play in his own yard. He occasionally hears shots in his neighborhood and even had some bullet holes in his car some months back. He went on to tell me I was in
one of the most violent neighborhoods in Chicago. Sadly, there is horrific violence on the Southside of Chicago. Tragically, there are criminals and hoodlums in this incredible city. However, most of the people living on the Southside are not bad people. They are good people trying to survive and overcome the minority of criminals, hoodlums and gang members who make their community scary. I was raised in Martin County, Kentucky. President Lyndon Johnson began his campaign on poverty in our hometown in 1964. He visited Tom Fletcher about three miles down the road from our family. The Fletcher family became the poster family for Johnson’s war on poverty. We didn’t appreciate the stereotyping of all Martin county people as poor, ignorant hillbillies. I’m sure the Fletcher family didn’t appreciate it either. However, with the history of the Hatfields and the McCoys along with television programs like The Dukes of Hazzard, many of us got the media’s drift about how they viewed Appalachian people. Yes, just like Chicago, Appalachia has enough ignorance and poverty. President Johnson’s war on poverty just created more poor people. However, lots of people from Appalachia complete college or conduct successful businesses, work hard and meaningful

jobs and pay lots of taxes, just like many people do in Chicago. Like all the people on the Southside of Chicago we don’t like to be stereotyped either. We stereotype in a multitude of other ways. Stereotypes freeze us into time. They limit our ability to communicate, understand and move forward. When we stereotype we make a generalization that limits productivity and success. I’m so grateful I got to spend a Sunday on the Southside of Chicago. The next time I hear about a Chicago crime, murder or other violent acts I will have some lovely people on my mind and I will be praying and thinking with them about how we all need to work together to rise above the stereotypes and the problems and make this world better.

New season new life Now is the time for reinventing yourself. As teachers eagerly (or begrudgingly) await the arrival of this year’s students, preparations have been made for the new se- DR. JONATHAN M. BUNDON mester. New Worship Pastor semesters bring First Baptist Church new expectations and aspirations for students and teachers. They may ask themselves “who do I want to be? How do I want to be remembered?” For me, my transition from school to school and university to university allowed me time to evaluate who I was as a person and who I wanted to become. In other words, I decided whether or not I was satisfied with my choice of
friends, direction of study, and future hopes. Throughout this process I came across a quote attributed to Albert Einstein. “Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.” Each self-evaluation improved my self-awareness (conscious knowledge of my own character, feelings, motives, and desires). Furthermore, it convicted me of sin I needed to confess and ask forgiveness for. It is beneficial to take a step back from our life and evaluate our current course of action. Too often, we can be overwhelmed with work and urgent tasks which prevent us from gaining perspective. We fail to ask ourselves, “Is this conversation edifying? Is this action fruitful? Is God pleased with my quality of work, choice of friends, love of my spouse?” The apostle Paul reminds us to “Walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all
goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.” Ephesians 5:8-10. We all need to surrender ourselves to God’s purpose each day. To do so, we must die to self. Admittedly, dying to self can be rather…difficult. Scheduled and consistent time with God is paramount. Jesus Christ himself withdrew from others to spend time alone with God the Father. Thus, how much more do we need to spend time with God? Today can be a turning point for you. Spend time with God, study His word, and gain a heavenly perspective. Consequently, you will find peace and direction you did not know before. Furthermore, when you are fully surrendered to Christ and his will, you will be transformed into who Jesus has created you to be. “And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” (Micah 6:8)

Local donors ensure success of annual Museum benefit Kings Mountain Historical Museum's 13th annual reverse raffle and auction, which also offers a $10,000 top prize on September 10, is successful through contributions by local artists and entrepreneurs, some first time and by longtime supporters of the benefit. A variety of one-of-a kind items will be the prizes for raffle prizes plus a live, silent and cake auction. “We try to focus on 'local' for this event,'' said fundraiser chairman Priscilla Mauney. “We know our community members appreciate and want to support local businesses, artists and manufacturers as do we,'' she said. One in five ticket holders will win a raffle prize and there will be a “final five finale” with prizes increasing in value up to the $10,000 grand prize to the last ticket drawn. Ticket holders do not have to be present to win. Each $125 ticket includes a catered dinner for two. Tickets are still available at the Museum at 100 E. Mountain Street. “This is one of the best ways people can support their local history museum, and in turn, the community,'' said Museum President Susan Champion. “The event is very exciting, it's lots of fun, and everyone walks away with something – dinner with friends, a raffle prize or auction item and especially the satisfaction of supporting a good cause.” Sustaining the museum ensures the future of our

Tales from the Farmers Market The market last week started out like an old country song, with bad things getting worse. Weather conditions decreased crop output, family emergencies, sickness, falling roofs, and even a broken down truck could not stop our dedicated farmers from bringing a variety of products to the Kings Mountain market that included peaches, eggplants, squash, tomatoes, peppers, eggs, beef, and pork. This market shows what a farmers’ market is about, supporting and sharing in the farmer’s crops success and failures. Farmers markets are like a marriage with the community in which they must partner with each other for better or for worse. Our market was a success this past week. Chil-

‘What’s up with this,?’ North Gaston quarterback Jadon Wooten (left) seems to be thinking while motioning with his arms, as Kings Mountain’s Nathan Lease (34) picks off an errant pitch attempt and rambles 25 yards to set up a KM touchdown in Friday’s season opener in Dallas.
Mountaineers skin the Cats Kings Mountain got touchdowns from the offense, defense and special teams in a 54-10 opening season win over North Gaston Friday night at Trudnak Stadium in Dallas. Senior standout Kavin Mosley got the season started in style when he took the opening kickoff 91 yards for a touchdown. Later in the game, he picked off a pass and returned it 70 yards for a touchdown. Coach Greg Lloyd was able to work all of his players into the game. The final
one and a half quarters were played with a running clock which is required when a team gets 42 points ahead. “It was a good start to the season,” noted Coach Lloyd. “We had big plays on offense, special teams and defense. When you do that you have the chance to put up points.” North Gaston did a decent job running the ball on the Mountaineers, but the Wildcats turned the ball over five times.

KM and Draughn in battle for first Kings Mountain High’s volleyball teams are undefeated after the first week of action, and have a big battle coming up at home today that could have a huge bearing on who wins the South Mountain Athletic Conference. The JV and varsity teams won two more contests last week to run their record to 2-0 in the SMAC and 3-0 overall heading into a conference game Monday at Shelby.

The Lady Wildcats have also won their first three games, including a come-from-behind 3-2 win over another strong SMAC contender, RS Central, on Thursday. In home games last Wednesday and Thursday, the Lady Mountaineers swept Burns in conference matches and Stuart Cramer in a non-conference twinbill.

JV soccer wins opener Kings Mountain High’s JV soccer team opened its season last week at Gamble Stadium with a 9-1 victory over West Lincoln. West took an early 1-0 lead but it didn’t take long for the Mountaineers to begin firing on all cylinders. Mark Atilano had two first half goals from storming runs into the box, and
Owen Patterson’s leftfooted shot beat the keeper for a 3-1 halftime lead. West Lincoln came out determined in the second half, but it was the Mountaineers who continued to score with goals from Cesar Hernandez and Kevin Smith. Atilano scored his third goal to post the first hat trick of the season.
Late in the second half Leighton Harris scored three goals for a hat trick of his own. First-year head coach Patrick Bradey said the defense of Jalen Callister, Patrick Burton, Gage Baugham and Cameron Strickland stayed compact and gave up very few opportunities to the opposition.
“This game was won in our midfield and our defense those players put in a shift,” Bradey said. “They came out here ready to play from the first whistle and pressured the opposition so much that they made it difficult to get an attack down the field. They should be very proud of themselves.”
KM/NG: Mountaineers top Wildcats in season opener From Page 1B have a turnover. The Wildcats managed only 44 yards rushing in the first half, but improved to a game total of 215 after KM’s starters left the field. In the first half, the Wildcats were tackled in the backfield 10 times. “I thought our defense played pretty solid,” Lloyd said. “The offense did okay but we needed some more running plays.” Kings Mountain had 117 yards rushing on just 20 carries, and senior quarterback Darren Burns hit 7-of-10 passes for 106 yards. After Mosley’s opening kickoff return, KM sophomore Kaylon Wade intercepted a pass to set up a 48-yard march capped off by a five-yard TD run by Darian McClain. A 32-yard reception by TJ Camp was the highlight of the drive. North Gaston’s only points against the first string KM defense came on the ensuing drive when they kicked a 35-yard field goal which cut the margin to 14-3. Kings Mountain went on to blow the game open by halftime. Mosley made an outstanding one-handed reception from quarterback Darren Burns at the nine. McClain scored on the next play to make it 21-3. On its next possession, North Gaston coughed up the football and Jerdon Pressley recovered it at the Wildcats’ 17. Freshman running back Ricaylen Mack, who led the KM Middle Patriots to the TriCounty championship last year, scored his first high school touchdown from two yards out to make it 28-3 . Outstanding catches by Malik Phillips (12 yards), Mosley (16 yards) and JT Cash (nine yards), set up a one-yard sneak by Burns to make it 34-3 with 4:49 left in the half. The Mountaineers kicked off to North to start the third period, and on the fifth play Mosley picked off a pass and made some brilliant moves around and through the North defense for 70 yards to make it 41-3 at the 9:32 mark.
Kings Mountain running back Quentin Zanders (32) follows the blocking of big fullback Trevon Wilson (7) for a 34-yard touchdown run in Friday’s 54-10 victory over North Gaston. “I knew when he intercepted that ball he would have a chance to score,” Lloyd said. “He is dangerous in the open field. He can make you miss. He’s a lot stronger this year and is in really good shape. Both of his touchdowns were big plays and a good way to start the season.” The running clock kicked in at the 4:06 mark after reserve running back Quinten Zanders followed the blocking of big fullback Trevon Wilson around left end for a 34-yard touchdown run to make the score 47-3. One of the best defensive plays of the night came on the final play of the third quarter when defensive lineman Nathan Lease got between the North quarterback and running back and picked off a pitch out attempt and rambled 26 yards to the eight yard line. Phillips picked a hole on the left side and raced into the end zone from 10 yards out for the final KM touchdown. “All in all, it was a good start to the season,” said Coach Lloyd. “We had some good blocks, good throws and catches, but way too many penalties (95 yards). “We looked pretty good for a first game, but have to get better as we go.”
Kings Mountain defensive back Kavin Mosley (2) returns a pass interception 70 yards for a touchdown in Friday’s season opening win at North Gaston. Mosley also returned the opening kickoff 91 yards to get the Mountaineers started toward a 54-10 win. (Photo by Gary Smart)
KM spikers beat Shelby Kings Mountain High’s volleyball teams remained undefeated Monday with a sweep of Shelby. The varsity won 25-12, 25-9, 25-7 after the JVs defeated the Lady Lions 25-13, 25-23.

Kings Mountain’s Lannden Zanders returns a punt in opening season game with North Gaston Thursday at Gamble Stadium.
Page 3B
KMHS quarterback John Harmon Melton rolls around the coverage to score a two-point conversion in opening season win over North Gaston.
Opening KO return sparks JVs over Wildcats Kings Mountain’s JVs opened the 2016 football season in style Thursday night at Gamble Stadium when Shyrone Reid took the opening kickoff 78 yards for a touchdown to spark a 30-12 victory over North Gaston’s Wildcats. The victory was KM’s 10th straight going back to last season when they ran the table in the South Mountain Athletic Conference after dropping the season opener to private school power Charlotte Christian. John Harmon Melton threw a two-point conversion pass to Christopher Brittain following Reid’s run, which actually began after Brittain took the open-
ing kickoff and handed it off to Reid. Kings Mountain put up good effort in all three phases of the game, but did suffer a letdown in the third quarter after building an early 16-0 lead. Lannden Zanders’ pass interception on North Gaston’s first possession set up a 42-yard KM scoring drive which ended on Qua Brooks’ five-yard run at the 5:30 mark of the first quarter. Melton again passed to Brittain for the two-point conversion. Kings Mountain left points on the field on its next two drives, turning the ball over on downs at the NG 11 and six yard lines.

North Gaston’s flexbone offense began moving the ball in the second half. Isaac Watson’s fumble recovery stopped a good Wildcat drive of the second half kickoff. After taking over on downs at their own 46, the ‘Cats scored on a one-yard run by McClellan to cut the deficit to 16-6. The ‘Cats recovered an onside kick at the 47, and four plays later Lattimore scored on a 46 yard catch and run and after a two-point conversion the score was suddenly 16-12 with 8:14 still left to play. Kings Mountain regained the momentum, though, and marched the ensuing kickoff 56 yards
From Page 1B ing save on that had to be cleared off the line by a defender. “We had tremendous pressure on their defense in the first half but could not find the net but once in the first half,” said coach Dan Potter. “Our defense was so outstanding that John Harris, our keeper, did not have to make a single save.” The half would end with a slim 1-0 lead. It didn’t take West long to knot the score as they were awarded a penalty kick just one and a half minutes into the second period. The Mountaineers reapplied the attacking pressure and would take the lead off a goal by Nolan Raby with 30 minutes left in the match. Mason Nguyen played a
great pass out wide to Josue Molina who played a perfectly paced back up crossing ball to Raby. Chase Yow, Luke Rikard and Brian Lysek would all ding shots off the crossbar in the second half but were denied the goal. The Mountaineers had seven corner kicks to West Lincoln’s zero for the match. Brandon Quevedo-Johns had several long throwins that provided many good scoring opportunities throughout the match but never ended in goals. “Our offensive pressure was incredible for most of the match and if it wasn’t for the play of the West Lincoln keeper, we could have scored a dozen goals,” said Potter. Will Robinson would supply some added insur-

ance as he took a pass out on the left flank from Brian Lysek and slotted the ball past the diving keeper for a 3-1 lead with 10 minutes remaining in the match. West Lincoln did not roll over as they scored off a quick counter with 6 minutes remaining in regulation. The match ended with the host
team up 3-2. “We had so many chances to put this game away and I know we will improve on our finishing as we go throughout the season. We also learned a good bit about some of the tactics we want to use in our next match,” said Potter.

KM/EG: Mountaineers face Warriors Lloyd looking at 60 wins as KMHS coach From Page 1B Lloyd has won all five of the KM-East Gaston games during his tenure here. He was 1-1 against KM when he was the Warriors’ head coach in 2005-06. He is impressed with his former team, but is confident his Mountaineers will make the home opener an exciting contest. “East Gaston is very versatile on offense,” he noted. “They run a spread/wing offense and run a lot of option at you. Their quarterback is a really good athlete and a dual threat.” Lloyd expects the War-

riors to have a lot of momentum coming into the game. Both teams put up a lot of fireworks last year in Mount Holly with the Mountaineers prevailing, 61-42. “We hope to do a lot better defensively this year,” Lloyd said. “But, obviously, they have some motivation and they expect to score a lot of points.” Although they were impressive in last week’s win over North Gaston, Lloyd wants to see the Mountaineers improve each week in all three phases of the game. “Obviously, we have to cut down on penalties,” he said. “We need to sustain
our blocks better. We didn’t tackle badly, but we can improve there too.” The Mountaineers just have three non-conference games before they open what shapes up to be a very competitive eight-game South Mountain Conference schedule. To date, the Mountaineers have experienced only one major injury. Senior guard William Quinn has an Achilles tendon issue but is hoping to be ready to play by the time the Mountaineers begin their conference schedule.

Medicare Coverage for Non-Working Spouses Dear Savvy Senior, Does Medicare cover spouses who have not worked? I have worked all my life, but my spouse worked only for a few years when we first got married but then quit to take care of our children fulltime. Will she be eligible for Medicare? Inquiring Husband
Dear Inquiring, There are plenty of couples in your situation when it comes to applying for Medicare. The answer generally is yes, your spouse can qualify for Medicare on your work record. Here’s how it works. Eligibility Rules Medicare, the government health insurance program for older adults, covers more than 55 million Americans age 65 and older, as well as those younger that have a qualifying disability or have End-Stage Renal Disease. To be eligible, you must have worked and paid Medicare taxes for at least 10 years to qualify for premium-free Medicare Part A hospital coverage when you turn 65. If you qualify, then your non-working spouse will qualify
too, based on your work record when she turns 65.
for your wife to apply for Medicare on your work record.
the marketplace through a private insurance company.
Divorced spouses are also eligible if they were married at least 10 years and are single, as are surviving spouses who are single and who were married for at least nine months before their spouse died.
If you are still working and your wife is covered by your employer’s health insurance, she may want to enroll only in the premium-free Medicare Part A until you retire or your employer coverage ends. Part B – along with its premium – can be added later without penalty as long as your employer’s group health plan is your “primary coverage.” Check with your employers’ human resources department to find out about this.
Other Medicare Options In addition to Medicare Part A and B, when you and your wife become Medicare eligible, each of you will also need to enroll in a Part D prescription drug plan if you don’t have credible drug coverage from your employer or union. And, you may want to purchase a Medicare supplemental (Medigap) policy too, to help pay for things that aren’t covered by Medicare like copayments, coinsurance and deductibles. Or, you may want to consider an all-inone Medicare Advantage plan.
In addition to Part A, both you and your spouse would also qualify for Medicare Part B, which covers doctor’s visits and other outpatient services, but requires a monthly premium, not a work history. The premium for most Part B beneficiaries in 2016 is $104.90 per month, while new beneficiaries pay $121.80/month and higher earning couples – those with incomes over $170,000 per year – pay even more. There are also a number of other caveats you should know about depending on your wife’s age. Older Spouse If your wife is older than you, she can qualify for Medicare on your work record at age 65, even if you’re not getting Medicare yourself, but you must be at least 62 years old. You also must have been married for at least one year
If your wife is more than three years older than you and has no health coverage, you can buy her Medicare Part A until you turn 62 and the premium-free benefit kicks in. The Part A monthly premium is $411 in 2016. Younger Spouse If your wife is younger than you, she will need health insurance until she turns 65 and becomes eligible for Medicare. This may be through your employer if you are still working, through COBRA (see dol.gov/ebsa/ publications/cobraemployee.html), or through the Health Insurance Marketplace (see healthcare.gov) or outside
For more information on Medicare choices and enrollment rules visit Medicare.gov or call 800-633-4227. You can also get help through your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (see shiptacenter.org), which provides free Medicare counseling.

Non-performing assets decreased to $5,046,000 at June 30, 2016 from $7,371,000 at Dec. 31, 2015. This decrease was primarily driven by a reduction in other real estate owned of $1,798,000 from $2,559,000 as of Dec. 31, 2015 to $761,000 as of June 30, 2016.

We have made significant progress by returning the company to profitability. We still face strong local competition and the pressures relating to interest margin compression, but we continue to focus on relationship banking and providing superior customer service. We believe that as our local and regional economies continue to improve. Alliance is well positioned for future opportunities and achieving deeper penetration in the markets we serve.”

nation of such factors, substantially impairing the sound growth of the community, is conducive to ill health, transmission of disease, infant mortality, juvenile delinquency and crime, and is detrimental to the public health, safety, morals, or welfare.
A public hearing for the Redevelopment Commission will be held on Tuesday, September 6, 2016 at 6:00 pm in the Fire Training Room in City Hall. The purpose of the public hearing is to obtain citizen input on the proposed Redevelopment Plan.
The mitigation steps include preservation and renovation of existing commercial buildings and homes, completion of downtown parking lot renovations, completion of parks in the downtown area, installation of bicycle and pedestrian facilities, renovation of sidewalks, installation of public facilities such as library learning centers, and the removal of debris that serves as a home for vermin. No acquisition of property by any public entity through eminent domain is proposed. The area can generally be described as limited portions of Cherokee, Battleground, Monta Vista, Railroad, Gold, Spruce, King, Lake, Wilson, Gaston, and Falls. Sources may include a combination of private and public funding. A copy of the plan may be reviewed at the Planning and Economic Development Department.
In part the plan is required by the NC Department of Commerce so the City can receive Community Development Block Grant funds for the preservation and restoration of two downtown buildings. The goal of the plan is to mitigate what is called slum and blighting conditions that may negatively impact an area or areas of the City. The plan describes an area or areas and some mitigation steps and where possible a source of funds. The plan must meet state statues which describes slum and blighting conditions as dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence, inadequate provision for ventilation, light, air, sanitation, or open spaces, high density of population and overcrowding, unsanitary or unsafe conditions, or the existence of conditions which endanger life or property by fire and other causes, or any combi-
