Community wellness was added as the fifth primary focus area of Cleveland County Commissioners at the recent strategic planning work session.

Since 2013 commissioners had identified fiscal sustainability, economic development, community education and customer service outreach and public safety as four primary areas.

Assistant County Manager Kerri Melton said that over the past 13 months the board has been highly involved in community prosperity projects, ensuring equitable access to health care and developing strategies to combat the opioid epidemic.

Dorothea Wyant, Health Director, said “There ae many environmental factors that can contribute to the health of a community such as employment, housing, transportation, education, and access to affordable health care to name a few. It takes a community effort from many partners to improve these complex issues. We are very fortunate to have the support from our board of county commissioners to recognize this and to make community health a top priority. Several community prosperity projects

have already been initiated and we are excited to see how they will continue to expand and improve health in local communities that need it the most in the years to come.’’

Commissioners used the five focuses as the guide to their priority setting discussions and identified workforce development, industrial product development, job creation and community health as top priorities in the 2018-19 strategic plan.

Chairman Eddie Holbrook said “commissioners have put an emphasis on new business recruitment and job creation over the last 10 years and I’m proud that we have been very successful in our efforts.” He added, “While those traditional economic development efforts will continue to be a top priority, workforce development and talent attraction areas that the board of commissioners and staff will place more emphasis on in the coming budget year. Our Economic Development team recently launched Charlotte’s Backyard NC, which is a creative talent attraction initiative that will have a synergistic connection to the innovative workforce development strategies that we are focused on.”

Black Americans, the American Revolution B l a c k Americans whose families have lived in this country for hundreds of years find LORETTA many obstaCOZART cles in genealogy research. Prior to 1870, most blacks were only enumerated by age and gender. In some states and counties, slave tables were kept for determining taxes. These “tables” listed all the slaves someone owned and may be the only remaining proof of an individual’s existence.

Setting aside the disdain for people treating fellow humans as property, I realize these records are important, giving us a glimpse into a window of time. We cannot deny that slavery was the norm in the south, nor should we. How can a people learn from their mistakes if they don’t face them?

While attempting to honor three Black Patriots who participated in the Battle of Kings Mountain, I learned firsthand the challenge many genealogists face. The research was painfully slow, taking years to find the necessary proof of their service.

In time I made acquaintance with descendants of both John Broddy and Esaias Bowman. The Broady family was searching for information on their patriot ancestor’s service and fate brought us together on this project. I gladly shared what information I had.

On October 7, 2016, I met the families of these patriots on the battlefield where their ancestors fought at the Kings Mountain National Military Park. It was fitting these descendants unveiled the marker honoring their patriot ancestors.

Since then, I have kept in touch with Arthur Broady by correspondence. We were unaware of it at the unveiling, but Mr. Broady had been accepted as a member of the Sons of the American Revolution just days before the ceremony, on October 4th.

I contacted Mr. Broady for assistance in writing an article regarding his ancestor’s participation in the American Revolution. What he shared was far more insightful than I could have imagined. He shared the struggle Black Americans face regarding this point in our nation’s history.

While it is interesting to learn of an ancestor’s role during the American Revolution, many Black researchers are flooded with conflicting emotions and struggle to reconcile them. To understand your family member was enriverhillmonuments.com

slaved, with no hope of freedom, is difficult to bear.

Mr. Broady was blessed to have his Uncle Jim Broady, who did a tremendous amount of research he later inherited.

He knew that his ancestor was an educated slave of Col. William Campbell. He was given responsibilities on the plantation prior to the war.

And, when Col. Campbell was called to serve, his slave John Boddy served as his aidde-camp. For this service, John Broddy was promised his freedom after the war.

This promise was recorded in Col. Campbell’s Will.

Unfortunately, Col. Campbell died on his way to Yorktown and John Boddy witnessed the British defeat before returning to the plantation. Emancipation of slaves was a difficult task in late 18th century in Virginia and it took 13 years for John Broddy to be emancipated.

According to Arthur Boady’s research, for a period Virginia law prohibited “freed” slaves from living in the state. He theorizes that “John may not have urged his freedom if it meant leaving southwest Virginia, his home for most of his life.

“As strange or as difficult as this may sound, maybe Sarah and Francis (Preston, Col. Campbell’s daughter and son-in-law who took ownership if John Broddy after Campbell’s death) felt delaying the emancipation (50 years prior to the Civil War) was the lesser of the two evils” wrote Mr. Broady.

“I think Col. Campbell’s death may have been very painful for John. They grew up together and I have found no accounts where Col. Campbell mistreated him.

And, in an uncustomary way for that period, Col. Campbell emancipated a slave...or maybe his friend...or maybe his half-brother. “ Beyond this, Arthur Broady shared a much more powerful story of his own challenges as a Black American struggling with the reality of slavery in our nation’s history… in his own family.

I could paraphrase what he wrote but find them as honest an account as I have ever read. I want to share his words with you.

Broady writes, “Admittedly, I have been poorly educated on this early American history…even worse is the lack of education about early Black History associated with the American Revolution.

It is telling how numerous books or accounts regarding the American Revolution, avoid the very complex implications of the war with See REVOLUTION, Page 7A

KINGS MOUNTAIN - Jack Sims of Sevierville, TN passed away Wednesday, Feb. 14, 2018.

Born September 1934 in Kings Mountain, NC, he was the son of Charlie Young Sims and Annie Reba Carpenter Sims.

He had one brother, Charles Major Sims who was four years older.

Jack attended school in Kings Mountain. During his high school years, Jack worked for a pharmacy delivering medications to customers. Orders would come into the pharmacy for medication and Jack would deliver the medication to the customer’s home on his bicycle.

On October 1, 1952 Jack quit school and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, where Jack spent 22 ½ years serving his country. His first assignment was to Parris Island, South Carolina for basic training. He then served at several bases in the United States and overseas. He was stationed in Beaufort SC, Yuma AZ, Jacksonville FL, Korea, Vietnam, Spain and Japan. Jack attended several schools in the Marines to advance his career, eventually attaining the rank of Captain.

Jack was home on leave in the spring of 1959 when he went to a restaurant to get something to eat. There he met a cute little waitress. It was love at first sight, but Jack had to leave and return to the base. A week later, Jack went back home and on April 8, 1959 married Virginia Dare Rathbone. They were married for 35 years.

Jack retired from the Marine Corp April 30, 1975 and moved home to Kings Mountain. He earned a degree in business management and spent the next 20 years managing apartments.

Virginia had to go to the hospital for open heart surgery on February 15, 1995. She passed away that day due to surgical complications. Jack and Virginia had four sons, Jack Venson Sims, Gregory Scott Sims, Charles Curtis Sims and Michael Dale Sims.

In February 1996, Jack was introduced to Marilyn Buckner who was living in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. They dated for a year and were married February 22, 1997. They resided in Gatlinburg until November 28, 2016. Their home was destroyed in a major wildfire.

They relocated to a Sevierville, TN retirement community.

Most importantly, Jack was a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. He attended the Parkway Church of God in Sevierville, Tennessee and volunteered as a faithful usher and greeter for many years.

Jack was preceded in death by his first wife and mother of his children Virginia Rathbone Sims; parents, Charlie and Reba Sims and one grandson, Joshua Sims.

Survivors are his wife, Marilyn Sims, children, Venson Sims (Mary), Greg Sims (Lourie), Michael Sims (Sandy) and Curtis Sims; Stepchildren, Ken Buckner (Karen), Beverly Tarver (Chip), Jill Marquez (Chris), Ronnie Buckner (Samantha); 38 Grandchildren and 37 Great Grandchildren.

■ MEDITATION

Escape the Couch When I was a little girl in the 70’s there was a thing called “A round tuit.”

The one’s I saw were either a Rev. round butJill Rhinehart ton, pot Pastor holder, or Central United Methodist Church keychain that had the word “TUIT” written in the center. If a person owned some form of a tuit, that person could say to whoever needed something

from them that they had gotten a round “tuit.”

In a recent discussion I was having with someone, the individual was explaining that their spouse had tried their best to coerce them to get off the couch, stop watching TV, and join them outside to experience the beautiful day.

Their spouse told them to “Escape the Couch.”

We both realized how great that phrase would be for an out-of-doors store.

Think about how many times we make up an excuse or blatantly decide to

put off the important things in our life. We think we have plenty of time to save for our retirement, save for our college, make a will, or plan and organize our estate affairs. Yet time marches on and before we know it our children start college, we are years, months, or days from retirement, or we can’t retire because we can’t afford too. As for our will, we pass away and now our family is forced to sort our problems we left behind.

Owning a round “tuit” will not solve our problems. We must “escape the couch” and do something

more than procrastinate or make excuses. For some individuals, procrastination allows them to be more creative but for others procrastination just becomes a crutch for not getting done the things that desperately need to be done.

Matthew 8:19-22 tells of the story of possible would-be followers. These individuals said they would follow Jesus anywhere yet Jesus explains that following him will not be an easy task. One of the possible disciples asks to first be able to bury his father before leaving. Jesus says “let the dead bury the dead.” For years this scripture always bothered me because I wondered why Jesus would seem to say what I considered a callous

statement. Then I began to wonder if the statement was said by Jesus because Jesus was so tired of hearing so many excuses for not being a disciple of a God. We can make every excuse in the world for not following Christ but in the end the essential point becomes that we put everything else before our relationship with God. When we make excuses for the lack of a spiritual life with Jesus Christ we are no different than those would be followers. Our priorities are everything else, even time spent on the couch, over the choice to be the Christian or even possible person we could be. “Escape the Couch” and get around to it.

Lenten services are continuing First Presbyterian Church will host today’s (Wednesday) Lenten service at 12 noon and Mallory Brown, Director of Children’s Ministry and Christian Education at Central United Methodist Church, is speaker on the subject “Were You There as a Spectator?’’

Boyce Memorial ARP Church will host the Lenten service next Wednesday, Feb. 28, at noon and Rev. Ron Caulder, president of the sponsoring KM Ministerial Association and pastor of Eastside Baptist Church, will speak on the subject, “Were you there as a confessor?”

The services are short followed by light lunch. Offering is for the Kings Mountain Crisis Ministry.

BIBLE VERSES OF THE WEEK Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ?

Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate?

Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others.

Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves.

Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.

REVOLUTION From page 2A England from the perspective of the enslaved and freed slaves.

“The most common connection between Blacks and the American Revolution is too often Crispus Attucks.

History has credited Attucks as the first to die in the name of freedom for our country. It is interesting that the reference to Attucks points to one dying for independence while there is little or no reference to other Blacks who lived, endured, and eventually survived the war for independence.

“Those choosing sides in the war were often neighbors and at times even relatives.

And, as they began to wage war against each other, slaves would be called on to support their masters…to fight and protect. I struggle with the following: • It is impossible to imagine being a slave and expected to defend your slave owner, his family and property.

• It is difficult to imagine as a slave, being expected to show loyalty to those who did not consider you or treat you as human.

• It is difficult to understand the emotions of a Patriotic slave taking up arms against other slaves who decided to fight alongside the Loyalist for the promise of freedom.

“My personal struggle only starts here as I try to comprehend the significant challenges of living as a slave during war when living as a slave during peacetime is incomprehensible.

“The promise of freedom by the English had to be an extremely powerful incentive and opportunity for slaves to consider. To have been captured, kidnapped, transported, sold, separated from family, and treated with much cruelty, the promise to return home could not be more enticing and attractive. Consequently, many slaves escaped from their owners and joined forces with the Loyalists.

“We should know and understand the consequences these slaves faced when victory by the English did not materialize as many where captured and returned to their slave owner.

“On the other hand, it is a similarly perplexing decision many slaves made to remain with their slave owners.

Many of those who remained committed to their slave owners were distrusted and feared. Many had even more harsh conditions imposed on them to prevent or avoid behavior akin to treason. And finally, those slaves allowed to fight were often not pro-

KMLT SHOW vided weapons in fear of slaves turning on their slave owners.

“John Broddy’s life of 100 or so years covered time before, during, and after the war. I can piece part of John Broddy’s life together only because he was a slave owned by a famous American Revolutionary War military leader.

Reconstructing John Broddy’s life during the American Revolution takes me on a journey through Black History I never knew existed.

And, today I fear most Blacks do not know this history.

“I continue to look for answers about John Broddy’s life and I look forward to making it a study of Black History as I proceed. He was a fascinating figure in history whose origin of birth is still in question. And, I am seeking explanations why John Broddy’s life and treatment was not typical of slaves in general.

“Not understanding the history and the world around John Broddy during his life, limits my ability to appreciate and value the existence of John Broddy.”

After reading Arthur Broady’s note, I realized that I can sympathize with the challenge he and many Black Americans face. However, I cannot truly understand what Black Americans had to deal with during that time or in the years that followed.

It is not my history … and yet it is.

What I have come to understand is that we are all Americans and the history of one of us is the history of all of us. We need to begin the dialogue and discuss the social and economic implications of slavery then and now. Decisions were made for many that, had they been given a choice, they wouldn’t have chosen for themselves.

Things that appear now to be a simple decision, never really were.

As Arthur Broady so aptly concludes, “I encourage others to explore Black History beyond the era of the Civil Rights Movement. In fact, be bold and go back further than the period of Lincoln and the Civil War. Our Black History began in America much earlier than Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and the first battle of the Civil War. All Americans would be well served knowing about this obscure history. I fear we spend much of our energy calling out the horrors of slavery while spending far too little time celebrating the amazing and ironic story about slaves fighting for independence. An independence that would take close to 100 years and another war to achieve.

cast of local talent. Many members of the cast have had theater experience and a number of newcomers round out the cast.

The play “Amelia Earhart: Flights of Fancy” concerns elements of the life story of this famous American iconic woman. It deals particularly with her famous solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in May of 1932.

She was the first woman to solo the Atlantic. She was in a small and cramped cockpit for 15 hours and endured storms, equipment failures, icing problems and visibility issues. A stressful flight! During this time, the play shows her ‘flashbacks’ to her girlhood in Kansas, dealing with an alcoholic father and a loving mother and sister. Theater-goers see her meeting famous figures, such as President.

Herbert Hoover and movie star Charlie Chaplin. Some of the vignettes are quite funny, as she imagines a ‘Keystone Cops’ type chase between Chaplin and a rude male pilot. Theater-goers meet famous women pilots who knew Amelia and who

were great pilots in their own right. The audience sees how she was wooed

by American millionaire George Palmer Putnam, who financed her solo Atlantic flight and became her husband.

The play is a DRAMADY, since there is drama and comedy interwoven throughout. The cast of 20 ranges from a 13- yearold old who idolizes Amelia and has no idea that her heroine will land in the main street of her little New Mexico town, changing her life forever The centerpiece of the play is a recreation of a Lockheed Vega aircraft.

This is the type of plane flown by Amelia over the Atlantic. It was built by Jim Champion and Jeff Wallega and has a working propeller and aircraft wing and tail lights as well as ocean lighting effects…The aircraft sound effects are almost worth the price of admission.

A note to theatergoers.

Strobe lights are used in one scene, as well as sound effects, such as the firing of a machine gun during a flashback sequence

Mountaineers open state tournament Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers opened the state 3A basketball tournament last night at home against Piedmont High School of Monroe but the Lady Mountaineers’ 13-12 overall record was not good enough to make the field.

The Mountaineers went into the 32-team field as the seventh seed, and if they are successful would play at least their first two games at home.

Piedmont came to town with a 16-9 overall record and the #26 seed. Kings Mountain went in with a 22-5 overall record and champion of the Big South 3A Conference that has four of their eight men’s teams in the tournament.

The winner of the Kings Mountain-Piedmont game will face the winner of the North Buncombe-Concord game Thursday night. North

Buncombe went into the tournament as the 10th seed with an 18-7 record and Concord was seeded 23rd with a 14-13 mark.

Other Big South teams in the field are #24 seed North Gaston (17-8) which was scheduled to open at #9 Freedom, which is 23-3; #13 Hunter Huss (17-8) which was hosting #20 Southern Guilford (17-9); and #27 Ashbrook (16-10) which was facing #6 A.C. Reynolds (21-4) in Asheville.

The #1 seed in the Western bracket is Cox Mill (233). Others seeded above Kings Mountain are #2 Ben L. Smith of Greensboro (23-3), #3 Hickory (24-2), #4 Jesse Carson (23-2), #5 Charlotte Catholic (23-3) and Asheville Reynolds. If the Mountaineers are later matched against any of those six teams the game would be on the road.

Patriots still have shot at playoffs Kings Mountain Middle School’s boys basketball team was playing at West Lincoln yesterday with a chance of qualifying for the Tri-County Conference championship playoffs which begin Thursday.

The Patriots, 6-3 in the Eastern Division and 6-7 overall heading into that game, can qualify with a victory. If they do, they will travel to Western Division first place Crest for a first round battle while Shelby will travel to Eastern Division first place North Lincoln.

The Patriots stayed in contention Thursday with a 41-30 victory over Burns.

Kings Mountain started out strong, scoring off the opening tip as Kassim Turner fed the ball to Isaiah Tate for a layup.

Kings Mountain played outstanding defense and ended the first quarter up 9-6.

The second period saw the teams trading baskets until the Bulldogs closed

the half on an 8-0 run to go up 18-17.

Kings Mountain turned up the defensive intensity in the third quarter, using a full-court man-to-man defense and held Burns to seven points to take a 26-25 lead into the final quarter.

The Patriots outscored Burns 15-5 in the final quarter to win going away.

Tate led the Patriots with 25 points, seven rebounds, three assists and four steals.

AJ Richardson had six points, four rebounds, two steals and a block; DeAndre Hoyle four points, seven rebounds and two assists; Zeke Cannedy two points and two steals, Rashaard Brooks four points, and Turner three rebounds.

Last Tuesday, the Patriots lost a heart-breaker to first place North Lincoln 51-46.

The first period saw North jump to a 10-5 lead before the Patriots closed the gap to 12-9 at the quarter break.

Mountaineers add tournament crown to regular season title Before a packed house that included Kings Mountain’s High School All-American basketball stars George Adams and Otis Cole, the Mountaineers rallied in the second half to defeat Hunter Huss 72-64 for the Big South 3A Conference tournament championship Friday at Donald L. Parker Gymnasium.

It took a spectacular second half effort by the Mountaineers to overcome the fired-up Huskies after the Gastonia visitors dominated the first half and went into halftime with a 34-30 lead.

Mountaineer senior star Adrian Delph and freshman Kobe Paysour keyed a second half comeback that produced the team’s 22nd victory heading into a first round state playoff game last night against Piedmont.

Delph scored 16 of his game-high 26 points and Paysour 12 of his 14 in the second half, and both played key roles for the defense that held the Huskies at bay.

Huss led most of the first half by dominating the offensive boards. Most of their points came as their inside players got great position for second and third shots. The Huskies’ Saveon Falls, who would lead them with 17 points, got seven of his 11 rebounds off the offensive board and his tip-in at the buzzer gave Huss a 13-12 first quarter lead.

Blake Wilson, who finished with 15 points, collected half of his 10 rebounds off the offensive board.

The Huskies’ margin went to 21-15 on a Falls tip-in with 5:40 left in the half before KM rallied to tie the game at 27-27 with 1:47 remaining.

Huss, though, got a big three from Daneil Mackins, a tip-in from Jahleer Black and a driving basket from Kaderius Nash to go into halftime up 34-29.

Kings Mountain made some adjustments at halftime, and in the final two periods the Mountaineers dominated the boards and limited the Huskies’ extra shots. Delph scored 12 points and Paysour eight and the Mountaineers outscored the Huskies 24-14 to go up 53-48 after three.

Huss got its biggest lead at 36-29 on its first shot of the second half – a twopointer by Wilson. Kings Mountain caught up at 44all on two Delph free throws at the 3:47 mark and the two teams exchanged buckets to make it 46-all with 2:44 left.

A charging foul against the Huskies gave KM possession, and Delph took matters into his own hands, scoring KM’s final seven points of the quarter for a 53-48 advantage. He drove the lane for an old-fashioned three-point play to put KM up 49-46, swished the nets on a long three-pointer, and hit a follow shot to make it 53-46 before Huss managed a bucket at the end by Wilson.

Dontavius Hughes canned a long three to give the Mountaineers their biggest lead at 60-51 with six

minutes remaining in the game. It was 64-58 with 3:57 remaining but Huss rallied to trim the margin to 64-62 on a steal and lay-in from Wilson with 3:05 left.

Huss had a chance to tie or go ahead moments later but a traveling violation gave KM possession with 2:24 remaining. Zeke Littlejohn’s basket put KM up 66-62 but the Huskies’ Falls answered with a pair of free throws to take the difference back to two (66-64) with 1:27 left.

Huss turned the ball over again and KM held the ball until the 1:12 mark when the Huskies were forced to start fouling. Delph canned a pair, and Kobe Paysour had two big rebounds and converted four of six free throws to ice the game.

KM (72) – Delph 26, Littlejohn 13, E. Paysour 2, K. Paysour 14, Hughes 13, Melton 4.

Huss (64) – Falls 17, Davis 2, Nixon 6, Nash 2, Mackins 7, Wilson 15, Black 15.

KM 69, ASHBROOK 54 After narrowly escaping with a 62-60 win over Ashbrook in their previous meeting a couple weeks earlier, the Mountaineers led almost the entire game to beat the Green Wave 69-54 in the tournament semi-finals Wednesday night at Parker Gym. Cameron June, who hit 10 of 19 three-pointers to lead an upset bid in the two

teams’ earlier game, was held in check all night by great man-to-man coverage

by Dontavius Hughes and Kobe Paysour.

June’s basket off the opening tipoff gave the Green Wave a 2-0 lead, but the Ashbrook gunner was held to just five points the rest of the way with all five coming in the fourth period.

After June’s opening score, Zeke Littlejohn canned two straight three-pointers from the corner to put Kings Mountain up 6-2 and the Mountaineers never trailed again.

The Mountaineers’ lead increased to 24-11 after the first quarter ,36-18 at the half and 50-31 going into the fourth quarter.

Littlejohn led the KM scoring with 21 points. Eli Paysour added 15, Adrian Delph 14 and Kobe Paysour 11.

The Mountaineers hit 56 percent (18 of 32) from two-point range and 9-of-30 from beyond the arc, with Littlejohn hitting four of them.

Delph cleared 12 rebounds for the Mountaineers and also contributed five assists. Kobe Paysour had eight boards and four assists.

Byron Sanders, whose potential game-winning three at the buzzer missed in the earlier 62-60 loss to the Mountaineers, led the Green Wave with 11 points. James Dotson and Ja’Quil Brown added 10 each.

Clark’s 35 total ballooned her record to 1,405 in the loss to Ashbrook, but they weren’t nearly enough to upset one of the top basketball teams in the state.

Trinity Jones led Ashbrook with 22 points, and Evonna McGill added 21.

Ashbrook improved to 25-0 overall while KM fell to 13-12.

Kings Mountain continued its hot shooting in the third period, scoring 18 points to take a 10-point lead into the final quarter.

But in the fourth quarter, the Panthers attacked the rim and got KM into foul trouble.

By JIM MILLER Editor

Three Ways to Cut Hearing Aid Costs Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve heard that hearing aids will soon be available over-the-counter and will be much cheaper than they currently are. What can you tell me about this? My husband desperately needs hearing aids but we simply can’t afford them.

Searching Spouse Dear Searching, Unfortunately, for many years the high cost of hearing aids has kept millions of Americans with hearing loss from getting hearing aids because they can’t afford them.

Hearing aids – typically sold through audiologists’ offices – are expensive, usually ranging between $1,000 and $4,000 per ear, and are not typically covered by private insurance or traditional Medicare.

But there’s good news on the horizon.

Last summer President Trump signed the Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act of 2017 into law. This will allow people with mild to moderate hearing loss to buy hearing aids without

consulting an audiologist, and the devices could sell for between $250 and $300 at drugstores and other retailers.

The only problem is that it will be a couple more years before these OTC hearing aids are available to consumers. So in the meantime, here are some tips that can help you find some affordable options.

Check Your Insurance While most private health insurance companies do not cover hearing aids, there are some that do. For example, Aetna members can purchase aids at a discount through certain suppliers, and United Healthcare offers hearing aids to their beneficiaries through HealthInnovations for $799 to $999 each.

You should also know that some federal workers, as well as residents of Arkansas, Connecticut, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island can get their hearing aids covered by health insurance, as can eligible veterans through the Department of Veterans Affairs.

Or, if your husband is a Medicare recipient, about half of all Medicare Advantage plans offer at least partial coverage or discounts on hearing exams and devices. So, be sure you check your husband’s insurance coverage to see if it offers any type of hearing aid benefit.

But these devices are very effective for people with mild to moderate hearing impairment, and typically cost between $350 and $450 each.

To find a wide variety of PSAPs see assistive listening sites like Harris Communications (HarrisComm.com, or call 866-476-9579).

Shop Around To help you save money, consider shopping at Costco, which offers nocost screenings at certain locations, as well as very competitive prices. Hearing aids there range between $500 and $1,500 each. You can also shop online at websites like EmbraceHearing.com and Audicus.com, which can save you up to $2,000 per pair. Then visit a local specialist to make any necessary adjustments.

Look For Assistance If your income is low, there is a number of national, state and independent groups that can help you pay for hearing aids or offer discounts.

To find them, visit the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association website at ASHA.org/public/ coverage/audfundingresources. Or, call the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders at 800-241-1044, and ask them to mail you their list of financial resources for hearing aids.

Another option worth a look is overthe-counter personal sound amplification products (or PSAPs). Unlike hearing aids, the Food and Drug Administration does not regulate PSAPs. And PSAP manufacturers are not allowed to call these products hearing aids or claim that they help hearing.

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.

From the moment you step through the door, you’ll feel right at home.

Heroes Among us

By C/M Sgt. Chloe Patterson Heroes come in all shapes, sizes, and backgrounds; for me, Cadet Chloe Patterson, John D. Borrero is one of these heroes.

Major Borrero was a guest speaker at the Shelby Composite Squadron Civil Air Patrol this past month.

Born in New York City, he is a second generation Puerto Rican born in the Contiguous United States. At the age of 17, he enlisted in the military, was selected to attend the Naval Academy Prep School, and later the United States Naval Academy, where he received a Bachelors of Science in Oceanography. Though he enlisted in the Navy, he pursued a career in the United States Marines.

Major Borrero shared some experiences of his military career which consisted of deployments to Iraq, the second attack of Fallujah, and transition of governance back to Iraq. His military assignments included 1st Tank Battalion, 3d Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion, serving as a Platoon Commander and a Adjutant, providing support within

the Operations shop and functioning a LAV25 vehicle. While Captain Borrero was deployed in Iraq as a linguist manager, his family began. Today, now a Major, Borrero is the proud father of three children and continues his service with the Marine Corp Reserve.

Major Borrero also shared with the Cadets stories of his most recent mobilization to support Hurricane Relief efforts in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Irma and Maria impacted the island. He shared with us how Honor, Integrity, and making good choices are important, even when no one is watching. Major Borrero is a good example of a hero because he sacrifices leaving his family and friends behind to help others in need.

When talking with him he said he just does his part, but when I was listening to him, I couldn't help but be amazed at how courageous and inspiring Major Borrero is.

We thank him for his service and taking the time to come out to speak to us.

Moore announces re-election campaign N. C. Representative Tim Moore (R) has announced his reelection campaign. He filed on the first day of filing last Monday.

“Serving my community in the North Carolina General Assembly as the Speaker of the House has been the greatest honor of my career in public service.

I hope my family, friends

and neighbors will allow me to continue working to improve their lives and well-being,’’ said Moore.

A life-long resident of Kings Mountain, Moore graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1992 with a B. A. degree in Political Science. He then attended law school at the Oklahoma City University School of

Law and received his Juris Doctor degree in 1995.

After passing the North Carolina Bar Exam, Moore returned to Cleveland County and began practicing law in Shelby. In 1997, Moore was appointed to the UNC Board of Governors.

He became a partner in the firm of Flowers, Martin, Moore, and Ditz PA and practiced there until 2009

when he opened his firm Tim Moore, Attorney at Law, P.A. in Kings Mountain where he currently practices.

“I am grateful for this opportunity to earn the right to continue serving the citizens of Cleveland County,’’ said Moore.

Moore has served as Representative from the 111th District for 10 years.
