The City of Kings Mountain got approximately four inches of snow on Sunday, January 16 during the overnight hours into the day on Sunday. With days of advance notice by local weather teams, citizens prepared for the weather and buying groceries for the days ahead. Luckily, the following

Monday was the Dr. Martin Luther King observance, so many in the community already had the day off. “I estimate we got about four inches of snow, said Mayor Scott Neisler. “With winds up during the day, most of the tree branches and power lines were blown free of snow, so we hopefully won’t have many problems with that. And we didn’t have any major
power outages, either.” Citizens took to heart warnings to stay at home, and most followed those directions unless they had to go out for work. Once the heaviest of snow fell, families ventured out for an afternoon of playing in the snow or enjoying scenes of Kings Mountain blanketed in snow.

School Board accepts $ 750,00 bid on Central School upset bid process begins By Loretta Cozart On Monday, January 10 Cleveland County School Board met in closed session before announcing acceptance of a sealed bid of $750,000 for Central School. At the boards October 11 meeting, the board voted to sell the school and its 5.5 acres of land as surplus property. According to
Cleveland County GIS, the property is valued at $1.6 million dollars. The timeline for the initial sealed bid process took just 19 days, after Cleveland County School’s listed the property on their website on October 15, four days before Cleveland County Commissioners officially declined to take the property. According to the surplus property notification, all sealed bids had to be received by 4 p.m. on No-
vember 3. At Cleveland County’s school board meeting on November 8, the board voted to table the decision on the sale of Central School for 60-days, until January 10. School policy is to afford the board of county commissioners the first opportunity to obtain any real property at the fair market price or a price negotiated between the two boards. County Commissioners met on October 19 and voted to
CENTRAL SCHOOL decline the opportunity. Kings Mountain resident Michael Smith spoke during the school board’s November meeting and asked, “What’s the hurry?
The school board has asked for 12-months to vacate this building that sits at the heart of the historic district. Citizens nearby should be given the opportunity to have
input regarding what happens with Central School.” The upset bid process has begun for this property and the next deadline for bids is January 21 at 4 p.m.

Tired Souls opens in Montgomery, Alabama on December 1, 1955 – the day Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a city bus to a white man. Her determination was the catalyst that inspired Montgomery’s black citizens to abandon all travel on city buses until they were no longer forced to sit in the back or stand when a white person boarded. But there were others who came before Mrs. Parks and laid the groundwork for this pivotal moment. Tired Souls introduces audiences to Jo Ann Robinson, Clau-

On January 12, Governor Roy Cooper announced plans to help combat staff shortages in K-12 school districts across the state during the current surge of COVID-19 cases. The policy will allow state employees to use volunteer days with supervisor approval to work in North Carolina public schools as substitute teachers, bus drivers and cafeteria staff. “It is critical that we keep children learning in the classroom safely,” said Gov. Cooper. “This policy will encourage state employees to lend a helping hand to our students at a time of severe staffing challenges for our public schools.”
For much of the 202122 school year, many school districts have experienced a greater need for substitute teachers, bus drivers, cafeteria staff and other support personnel who can fill in for employees who need to isolate or quarantine due to COVID19. To help combat the staff shortages, Gov. Cooper’s new directive will allow state employees to use paid leave to serve as substitute staff in schools while also keeping any compensation they earn as substitutes. The State Human Resource Commission’s Community Service Leave Policy states that full-time state employees
are eligible for 24 hours of paid community service leave each calendar year. This leave may be used by state employees with supervisor approval and will not interfere with or delay state government operations. “State employees always step up to help our state in challenging times and this policy gives our talented employees yet another way to serve their communities,” said Barbara Gibson, State Human Resources Director. “We appreciate Governor Cooper’s willingness to move quickly to address the current staffing crisis caused by the omicron variant,” Guilford County See SCHOOLS, Page 4A
Gaston County’s second confirmed Rabies case On Wednesday, January 12, 2022, at 10:58am, Gaston County Police Animal Care and Enforcement received a call regarding a positive rabies specimen from Griffin Animal Disease Laboratories Monroe, NC. Griffin Laboratory received this raccoon specimen from Carolina Wildlife on January 09, 2022. Animal Care and Enforcement Specialists investigated the incident. The raccoon was observed wondering around by citizens near the 100 block of Antelope Drive Mount Holly, NC 28120. Carolina Wildlife picked the raccoon up in the 100 block Ante-
lope Drive Mount Holly, NC 28120. Carolina Wildlife determined the raccoon was too sick to rehabilitate. The raccoon specimen was sent to Griffin Laboratories and on Wednesday, January 12, 2022, the raccoon specimen tested positive for rabies. Animal Care and Enforcement completed a neighborhood canvas near Antelope Drive Mount Holly, NC to notify the community of the positive rabies result and verify rabies vaccinations for family animals in the area. Gaston County Animal Care and Enforcement also notified the Gaston County Depart-
ment Health and Human Services, so they could follow up with Carolina Wildlife and their associates involved with this sick wildlife. The Gaston County Police Department Animal Care and Enforcement Unit stresses the importance of having a valid rabies vaccination for all your pet’s health and safety as well as the health and safety of animal owners and community. This represents the second confirmed rabies case in Gaston County this year. No further information is currently available.

Cleveland County could receive $1.2M in opioid settlement More Powerful NC released how much each North Carolina County or municipality could get from the settlements with the drug distributors and Johnson & Johnson between 20222038 if all 100 counties and all municipalities with populations over 10,000 join the settlements. Cleveland County could receive $7,214,766, Gaston County $19,958,960, and City of Gastonia $1,660,558, according to More Powerful NC. Smaller municipalities, like Kings Mountain, do not receive direct payments under the settlements benefit because their respective counties will use settlement payments to provide treatment, recovery, harm reduction, and other life-saving programs and services to municipal residents. The More Powerful NC campaign was created by Attorney General Josh Stein and the North Carolina Department of Justice and Secretary Mandy Cohen and the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services. Opioid-related overdose deaths in North Carolina have doubled in the past ten years alone, and the problem only continues to grow and devastate lives. Created by the North Carolina Department of Justice and the Department of Health and Human Services to raise awareness of the scope and danger of the opioid crisis, and as a call for action that North Carolinians can rally behind, the More Powerful campaign is anchored in the message that together, we are more powerful than opioids, and we can all help play a part in ending the epidemic. The campaign outlines real, actionable steps for the safe storage, use and disposal of pain medications, as well as resources for finding treatment and recovery support. After years of negotiations led by the Attorney General and others, two proposed nationwide settlement agreements have
SCHOOLS From Page 3A Schools Superintendent Sharon Contreras said. “This is one more tool we can use to keep our classrooms and schools open for our students.” Under the updated policy, state employees are eligible to use community service leave for time spent training to be a substitute teacher, substitute teacher’s assistant or other substitute staff at a school or school district. State em-
been reached that would resolve all opioid litigation brought by state and local governments against the three largest drug distributors, McKesson, Cardinal Health and AmerisourceBergen (“distributors”), and one manufacturer, Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and its parent company Johnson & Johnson (“J&J”). The proposed settlements require that the distributors and J&J pay $26 billion over 18 years, with approximately $22.7 billion available to state and local governments to address the opioid epidemic through treatment, recovery, harm reduction, and other life-saving programs and services. The settlements also include new rules to prevent diversion of prescription opioids and make sure nothing like this ever happens again. The State of North Carolina has already signed the settlements, making North Carolina local governments eligible to participate. North Carolina’s share of settlement funds will be distributed among state and local governments pursuant to a Memorandum of Agreement that the state and more than 120 local governments have already agreed. North Carolina stands to receive approximately $750 million through these settlements if every county and every municipality with a population over 10,000 participates. These funds will be available starting in 2022 to support treatment, recovery, harm reduction, and other life-saving programs and services. The settlements are the fastest and best way to get these funds to where they are most desperately needed – to communities from the mountains to the coast hit hard by the opioid crisis. Under the NC MOA, 85 percent of settlement funds
go directly to 100 counties and 17 municipalities – the most favorable state-level arrangement for local governments in the United States. Local government participation in the settlements is critical. If there is not sufficient local government participation, the settlements will not be finalized, the billions of dollars in abatement funds will not flow to communities, and more than 3,000 cases may be sent back to their home states for trial. These trials would take many years and – even in the best-case scenario – would result in a slow and inefficient distribution of funds. The extent of local government participation also determines how much money North Carolina will receive under the settlements, because approximately half of the abatement funds are in the form of “incentive payments.” The higher the participation of counties and municipalities, the greater the amount of settlement funds that flow to our communities to address the epidemic. Attorney General Stein strongly supports these settlements and urges North Carolina counties and municipalities to join the settlements. Likewise, the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee (PEC) – charged with leading the opioid litigation on behalf of more than 3,000 cities, counties, and others – has unanimously endorsed the settlements. Members of the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee are listed here. The campaign is funded by the NCDOJ, the NCDHHS, their partners and donors.

Dire situation facing blood supply
National blood crisis may put patients at risk The American Red Cross is facing a national blood crisis – its worst blood shortage in more than a decade. Dangerously low blood supply levels are posing a concerning risk to patient care and forcing doctors to make difficult decisions about who receives blood transfusions and who will need to wait until more products become available. Blood and platelet donations are critically needed to help prevent further delays in vital medical treatments, and donors of all blood types – especially type O − are urged to make an appointment now to give in the weeks ahead. In recent weeks, the Red Cross had less than a one-day supply of critical blood types and has had to limit blood product distributions to hospitals. At times, as much as one-quarter of hospital blood needs are not being met. Pandemic challenges: The Red Cross continues to confront relentless challenges due to COVID-19, including about a 10% overall decline in the number of people donating blood as well as ongoing blood drive cancellations and staffing limitations. Additionally, the pandemic has contributed to a 62% drop in blood drives at schools and colleges. “Winter weather across the country and the recent surge of COVID-19 cases are compounding the already-dire situation facing the blood supply,” said Dr. Baia Lasky, medical director for the Red Cross. “Please, if you are eligible, make an appointment to give blood or platelets in the days and weeks ahead to ensure no patient is forced to wait for critical care.” Over the next month, about 75% of donation appointments remain unfilled in the Greater Carolinas Red Cross Region. Make an appointment to give bloods or platelets as soon as possible by using the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visiting RedCrossBlood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800733-2767). The Red Cross and the NFL are partnering this January, during National Blood Donor Month, to urge individ-
uals to give blood or platelets and help tackle the national blood shortage. Those who come to give blood, platelets or plasma in January will automatically be entered for a chance to win a getaway to Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles. As an extra thank-you from the Red Cross, those who come to donate will also be automatically entered to win a home theater package and a $500 e-gift card. Terms apply; visit RedCrossBlood. org/SuperBowl for more information. Volunteers needed: In addition to blood donors, the Red Cross also needs the help of volunteers to support critical blood collections across the country. Blood drive volunteers play an important role by greeting, registering, answering questions, and providing information to blood donors throughout the donation process. Blood transportation specialists – another volunteer opportunity − provide a critical link between blood donors and blood recipients by delivering blood to hospitals in communities across the country. To volunteer to support Red Cross blood collections, visit redcross.org/volunteertoday. Blood drive safety: Each Red Cross blood drive and donation center follows the highest standards of safety and infection control, and additional precautions – including face masks for donors and staff, regardless of vaccination status – have been implemented to help protect the health of all those in attendance. Donors are asked to schedule an appointment prior to arriving at the drive. Save time during donation Donors can also save up to 15 minutes at the blood drive by completing a RapidPass®. With RapidPass®, donors complete the pre-donation reading and health history questionnaire online, on the day of donation, from a mobile device or computer. To
complete a RapidPass®, follow the instructions at RedCrossBlood.org/RapidPass or use the Red Cross Blood Donor App. To donate blood, individuals need to bring a blood donor card or driver’s license or two other forms of identification that are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age in most states (16 with parental consent where allowed by state law), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger also must meet certain height and weight requirements. Health insights for donors: At a time when health information has never been more important, the Red Cross is screening all blood, platelet, and plasma donations from self-identified African American donors for the sickle cell trait. This additional screening will provide Black donors with an additional health insight and help the Red Cross identify compatible blood types more quickly to help patients with sickle cell disease who require trait-negative blood. Blood transfusion is an essential treatment for those with sickle cell disease, and blood donations from individuals of the same race, ethnicity and blood type have a unique ability to help patients fighting sickle cell disease. Donors can expect to receive sickle cell trait screening results, if applicable, within one to two weeks through the Red Cross Blood Donor App and the online donor portal at RedCrossBlood.org.

Like a Thief in the Night While vacationing with our children and grandchildren recently in Florida, Pastor the Lord Jeff Longwell Penley’s Chapel reminded Church me to be watchful for his return. After spending a long day (almost 14 hours) at Disney, we looked forward to sleeping in the next day. A weather app on my wife’s
phone alerted us early, however, with a tornado warning in the area. I wish I could say that I was the one who took it seriously, but I wanted to stay in bed. My wife Trish sprung into action. “We have babies upstairs,” she said, as she began to head upstairs and wake everyone up. She brought them downstairs and proceeded to determine which room would be the safest place in the event the tornado came our way. Thankfully, the tor-
nado never materialized as a direct threat to us, but the Spirit of God immediately began to speak to my heart. “Your attitude reflects the way most people see my return.” Then He reminded me of what the apostle Peter said: “Knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, ‘Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation.’”
(2 Peter 3:3-4) Just as I wanted to remain in bed with a potential tornado ready to overtake us, Peter said there are those who continue “walking according to their own lusts.” This means they are living their lives without any thought of God or His soon return, when all men will give an account to their Creator. Jesus promised that He would return for those who belong to Him. “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself;
that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:3) He also said that, “Of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.” (Matthew 24:36) The apostle Paul said, “That the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.” (1 Thessalonians 5:2) Since we don’t know when He will return, we must always be ready, looking for His return. My thoughts on that morning were to ignore the tornado warning,
thinking that it’s very rare to actually see a tornado touch down. Later on, I reflected on those who might have had similar thoughts on December 10th of last year as a tornado ripped through towns in the midwest, causing massive destruction. We need to be ready for the sure return of our Lord, and just like my faithful wife, we need to warn everyone we love and make sure they are ready as well.

Gardner-Webb Archives and Earl Scruggs Center Collaborate on Bible Exhibit Sponsored by O. Max Gardner Foundation, Display Features Different Roles of Bibles in Society BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—By the late 18th Century, Bibles had become treasured family heirlooms—not just for the spiritual aspect, but because the pages were used to record marriages, births and deaths. In recognition of the secular ways the Bible was used in the 19th and 20th centuries, Gardner-Webb University Archives and the Earl Scruggs Center of Cleveland County have created an exhibit: “Bound by Faith: The Bibles of Cleveland County.” The exhibit, sponsored by the O. Max Gardner Foundation, will be featured through March 31 in the Ali Pouryousefi Gallery at Tucker Student Center. The formal exhibit opening and reception will be held Feb. 17 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. The idea was proposed by Earl Scruggs Center Curator Zach Dressel, who approached the University Archivist Dr. Natalie Bishop, with the possibility collaborating on an exhibit that utilized artifacts held in both the Gardner-Webb University Archive and
SUCCESSFUL SEED STARTING WITH JUDY FORD - Do you want to save money, have more variety in your garden, and tastier produce, too? Join gardening expert Judy Ford to learn how to be successful starting your own seeds. The Mauney Seed Library will be available so you can take home free seeds to get your garden started. This hands-on workshop will take place in the library Community Room on Wednesday, February 23, from 10:00am - 12:00pm. Registration is required.
Bible Exhibit Cleveland County Historical Collections. “I noticed that we had all these old Bibles in the Cleveland County Historical Collections, and I really wanted to find some way to display them,” Dressel noted. As Dressel and Bishop reviewed their collections, they decided to create an exhibit that examines how the Bible has been used in society outside the scope of Biblical or spiritual study. The exhibit focuses on the role of the Bibles as a tool for family record keeping, historical research, political ceremonies and in the military. Included in the exhibit is a range of Bibles
RECIPE CORNER (Ed. Note- The recipes in today’s’ Cooking Corner’ are from ‘’’ Monumental Recipes’’ Vol 2 published by Kings Mountain Woman’s Club,)
dating from 1648 through the early 1900s. Visitors can enjoy seeing the actual Bibles on display in protected cases and get a glimpse of the inside by viewing high-resolution scans of the pages. The Bible used by O. Max Gardner when he took the oath of office as North Carolina governor in 1929 is included in the exhibit. Also featured is a scanned page from the family Bible of James Milton Webb, with notations by his great-granddaughter Fay Webb Gardner (wife of former N.C. Gov. O. Max Gardner and Gardner-Webb namesake). Bibles of interest to genealogists include the Hamrick,
Whitworth, and Young Bibles, all of which contain extensive family history pages. The Hamrick Bible includes a rare feature in family Bibles—several pages of tintype photographs, which are also included in the display. Panels also describe the importance and process of preserving Bibles for future generations. Included are videos demonstrating how artifacts, such as Bibles, are scanned and made available online. Visitors can learn about how to transcribe historical, handwritten family history pages and participate in transcribing Bibles in the exhibit.

Mountaineers weather their first BSC ‘Storm,’ 88-82 Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers survived a tough battle from the Stuart Cramer Purple Storm in Big South 3A Conference basketball action Tuesday night at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium but remained undefeated in the conference with an 88-82 victory. After leading most of the game, the Mountaineers ran into foul trouble in the second half and saw Cramer come from behind to earn their first lead since early in the game, 70-69, on a Will Kelly basket with six minutes remaining. But Maddox James, who played one of his best games of the season with 19 points and numerous rebounds, put the Mountaineers back out front 74-72 and they were able to hold on for the victory. Cramer stayed within striking distance but, even with KM’s leading scorer
Zeke Cannedy on the bench with five fouls, the Mountaineers were able to survive behind clutch play by James, sophomore guard Zavion Smith and others. Cramer got to within 84-80 with 26 seconds remaining, but had to foul and Smith went to the line to go 4-for-4 and wrap things up. The Storm scored the game’s first points to go up 2-0 and led 15-14 with 1:25 left in the first period. Cannedy scored the last six points of the period to put KM on top 21-17. The Mountaineers built a 45-35 lead following a Cannedy basket with a minute left in the half, but the visitors rallied to cut the margin to 48-42 at the break. Will Kelly (24 points) and Francisco Vardezas (11) accounted for 35 of the Storm’s first half points. The Mountaineers were able to get their lead to
double-digits (63-53) on a bucket by James with just over a minute left in the third quarter, but the Storm began brewing again and cut it to 67-60 heading into the final eight minutes. The visitors scored the first seven points of the third quarter to knot things up at 67-all with 6:50 left in the game. Cannedy’s three put the Mountaineers up 72-70 and they were able to build a 78-72 lead before Smith was hurt and had to go to the bench with 4:05 left. Things got a little shaky in the final two minutes as a pair of technical free throws by Kelly brought the visitors to within four at 82-78. But, upon getting the ball out of bounds the Storm committed a charge. KM got a big bucket by James for an 84-78 lead. Cramer’s Talen Whitley followed a miss shot with a put-back to make it 84-80 with 26 sec-

from the charity stripe to seal the deal. Despite his time on the bench due to fouls, Cannedy still led the Mountaineers
with 32 points. He and James were joined in double figures by Linney with 12 and Smith and Simpson with 10 each.
Lady Mountaineers Mountaineers sweep Ashbrook to stay top BSC beat Cramer 67-48 Kings Mountain’s women’s basketball team rolled to its fifth straight Big South Conference victory Tuesday night at home, defeating the Stuart Cramer Purple Storm 6748. The Lady Mountaineers got another strong performance from all players, with four of them scoring in double figures.
Senior standout Saniya Wilson led the way with 19 points, six rebounds, five assists and four steals. Khalia King contributed 16 points and seven boards. CoRey Simpson had perhaps her best game ever as a Lady Mountaineer, scoring 15 points and grabbing 12 rebounds. It was her first career double-dou-
ble as a varsity player. Tyasya Bell was also in double figures with 12 points. She grabbed five rebounds. Jacie Jarvis had four points and three rebounds. Alayna Patrick contributed one point, two rebounds, three assists and two steals. Stuart Cramer’s Dasia Harris was the game’s
top scorer with 28 points. Hadley Womack added 17, Madison Lee two and Zoey Morris one.
Kings Mountain High’s varsity basketball teams went into last night’s game against the Crest Chargers atop the Big South 3A Conference standings. The KM teams swept Gastonia Ashbrook Friday night on the road with the girls handing the Lady Green Wave their first conference loss in more than two years, 45-41, and the boys rolling 81-50. The Mountaineers had a good 1-2 scoring punch with Zeke Cannedy stripping the nets for 32 points and Mad-
dox James 18. Zavion Smith added nine points and Curtis Simpson and Eli Osborne seven apiece. The Lady Mountaineers carried a 6-0 conference record into last night’s game while Crest came to town with a 2-2 conference mark. The Lady Green Wave fell into second place with a 5-1 BSC record. The KM men came in with a 5-0 mark and Crest 3-0. The Mountaineers still have a first round makeup game with Forestview.
Lady Mountaineer Coach Nicholas Inman got a great overall performance from all of his players. Khalia King had a super night with a game-high 20 points which included 4-of-7 from three-point land. Senior standout Saniya Wilson continued her fine allaround play with 16 points, four rebounds and five assists. Myracle Davis had three points and two boards, Austyn Dixon two points and See BSC, Page 3

Experimental Opioid vaccine being tested The first experimental vaccine to be tested in the United States for treatment of opioid use disorder is being studied in a clinical trial led by researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. “We have good medications to treat opioid use disorder, but about half of the people who use these medications relapse after about six months,” says Sandra Comer, PhD, professor of neurobiology in the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and principal investigator of the trial. “A vaccine that lasts for several months, given in combination with any of these medications, could help many more people beat their addiction and
potentially protect them from an overdose death if a patient relapses.” The experimental vaccine—developed by Marco Pravetoni, PhD, professor of pharmacology and medicine at the University of Minnesota Medical School—is designed to prevent oxycodone from getting into the brain, where it causes a euphoric feeling, or “high,” and can impair the brain’s breathing centers and cause death if a user overdoses. Nearly 50,000 Americans died from opioid-related overdoses in 2019, and new data from the CDC suggest that drug overdose deaths surged to a record level of 87,000 in 2020 during the pandemic, driven largely by fentanyl and other synthetic opioids. “Vaccine development

has been a tremendous boone to humanity. This innovative work brings it to bear on the scourge of addiction with the hope of having a great impact,” says Jeffrey A. Lieberman, MD, the Lawrence C. Kolb Professor of Psychiatry and chair of the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. The vaccine is designed to generate anti-
bodies to oxycodone, a commonly abused prescription opioid. If an individual takes oxycodone after vaccination, the antibodies latch onto the drug and prevent it from crossing the blood-brain barrier. Since the opioid does not reach the brain, the user does not get high. The vaccine also may protect against death from overdose due to respiratory depression, which occurs when oxy-
codone acts centrally in the brain. In preclinical studies, animals that received the vaccine reduced self-administration of the drug and were protected from toxicity and signs of overdose, such as respiratory depression. Because the vaccine specifically targets oxycodone, it doesn't interfere with other opioid-based medications to treat opioid use disorder or with
naloxone, a drug used to resuscitate patients who have overdosed. The trial is enrolling volunteers who are opioid users but not receiving treatment with medications to combat opioid use disorder. One group of trial volunteers will be given a placebo; two other groups will receive either a low or high dose of the active vaccine. The primary aim of the See VACCINE, Page 5B

experience administering opioids to people in research studies. During the vaccine trial, the volunteers will be closely monitored by a team of physicians and nurses for several weeks in an inpatient unit to look for adverse events and determine their response to oxycodone after vaccination.

With many new opportunities for grants, scholarships, and other financial aid you might even be eligible to attend Gaston College for free. If you graduated from a North Carolina high school in 2021, the recently announced Longleaf Commitment Grant could make your college education free by covering up to $2,800 per year for two years at Gaston College. Full-time students who meet the eligibility requirements are guaranteed to re-
ceive $700 to $2,800 per year, and partial awards are available for part-time students. You will be considered for a Longleaf Commitment Grant automatically after you complete the following steps. • Complete the NC Residency Application. • Apply to Gaston College • Complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) for 2021-22 The Longleaf Commitment Grant isn’t the only option for getting help paying for your education. Gaston College has a multitude of grants, scholarships, and other financial
aid opportunities to help you achieve your educational goals. Here are just a few examples: • The Governor’s Emergency Education Relief (GEER) fund directed federal dollars toward helping education-related entities, including Gaston College, address the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of our programs qualify for GEER Scholarships that help cover your tuition, fees, books, supplies, credentialing tests, transportation, childcare, and other costs associated with attending college. • Interested in pursuing a
STEM-related education and career? The Gaston College SPARC Scholars program is a scholarship initiative funded by the National Science Foundation and a private donor to help Gaston College Associate of Science students who plan to transfer to a fouryear university and major in a STEM program. • The GC Promise program will cover up to another $1,250 of tuition and fees not covered by financial aid or other scholarships for eligible Gaston or Lincoln County students that took College Now (Career and College Promise) classes in
high school. • The new Textile Technology AAS program, which prepares you for a career in the growing textiles industry, has scholarships available for full-time students and grants for part-time students. There are many other options the financial aid team can help you explore, including over 80 named annual and endowed scholarships distributed through the Gaston College Foundation. “Earning your degree without going into debt is possible, especially with all the scholarship and new aid opportunities available right
now,” said Ungina Perkins, Director of Financial Aid and Veterans Affairs. “This is a great time to come to Gaston College, and our team is here to help students identify and apply for the financial resources they need to start or return to school this Fall.” Don’t let concerns over costs deter you from your educational or career-training goals. If you want to attend college, Gaston College can show you the way to an affordable, high-quality education. If you have questions about financial aid, you can reach our team at 704.922.6227.

Tax Breaks for Caregiver of Elderly Parents Dear Savvy Senior, Are there any tax breaks that you know of for family caregivers? I help financially support my 82-year-old mother and would like to find out if I can write any of these expenses off on my taxes. Supplemental Sam Dear Sam, There are actually several tax credits and deductions available to adult children who help look after their aging parents or other relatives. Here are some options along with the IRS requirements to help you determine if you’re eligible to receive them. Tax Credit for Other Dependents If your mom lives with you and you’re paying more than 50 percent of her living expenses (housing, food, utilities, health care, repairs, clothing, travel and other necessities), and her 2021 gross income was under $4,300, you can claim your mom as a dependent and get a nonrefundable tax credit of up to $500. If you happen to split your mom’s ex-
penses with other siblings, only one of you can claim your mom as a dependent, and that person must pay at least 10 percent of her support costs. This is called a “multiple support agreement.” The IRS has an interactive tool that will help you determine if your mom qualifies as a dependent. Go to IRS. gov/help/ita, scroll down to “Credits,” and click on “Does My Child/Dependent Qualify for the Child Tax Credit or the Credit for Other Dependents?” Medical Deductions If you claim you mom as a dependent and you help pay her medical, dental and/or long-term care expenses, and weren’t reimbursed by insurance, you can deduct the expenses that are more than 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). So, for example, if your adjusted gross income is $80,000, anything beyond the first $6,000 of your mom’s medical bills – or 7.5 percent of your AGI – could be deductible on your return. So, if you paid $8,000 in med-
ical bills for her, $2,000 of it could be deductible. You can also include your own medical expenses in calculating the total. You should also know that your state might have a lower AGI threshold, which means you might get a break on your state income taxes even if you can’t get one on your federal income taxes. To see which medical expenses you can and can’t deduct, see IRS Publication 502 at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ p502.pdf. Dependent Care Credit If you’re paying for in-home care or adult day care for your mom so you are free to work, you might qualify for the Dependent Care Tax Credit which can be worth as much as $4,000. To be eligible your mom must have been physically or mentally incapable of self-care and must have lived with you for more than six months. To claim this tax credit, fill out IRS Form 2441 (IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/
f2441.pdf) when you file your federal return. Flexible Health Savings Accounts If you have a health savings account (HSA) or your employer offers a flexible savings account (FSA), you can use them to pay for your mom’s medical expenses if she qualifies as a dependent. But be aware that if you use an HSA or FSA to pay for your mom’s medical costs, you can’t take a tax deduction on those expenses too. For more information, see IRS Publication 969, “Health Savings Accounts and Other Tax-Favored Health Plans” at IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p969.pdf. Send your senior questions to: Savvy Senior, P.O. Box 5443, Norman, OK 73070, or visit SavvySenior.org. Jim Miller is a contributor to the NBC Today show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
