Tornado, rain, and wind make a mess in southern parts of the city By Loretta Cozart The National Weather Service (NWS) confirmed an EF-2 tornado touched down in the Dixon community of Kings Mountain on Thursday morning. Kings Mountain Police Department responded quickly, directing traffic through the area. During a week of tumultuous weather, starting with sunny 75-degree days followed with rain and high winds, tornadoes, floods and then a light snow, this has been a week many won’t soon forget. According to the NWS’s report, the tornado began near the intersection of Battleground Road and I-85 at 10:55 am on Feb. 6. Trees were snapped and uprooted along the path as it moved east near the intersection of Dixon School Road and Bethlehem Rd. Near that location, a couple homes were damaged. Just east of there, the
strongest damage was found, and four high tension electrical transmission towers were blown down. The damage suggests wind speeds of 130 mph, according to the National Weather Service. The tornado weakened as it moved east as it snapped and uprooted trees as it crossed York Road and the Gaston County line. More snapped trees were found as the tornado moved east and crossed the Kings Mountain Pinnacle and Sparrow Springs Road. The damage near Freedom Mill Road, with snapped and broken large tranches. The tornado lasted about 10-minutes, the NWS concluded. Reading the report is much like watching the radar, you can understand where the tornado traveled thanks to satellites monitoring from 22,300 miles above the Earth. But, from that distance, you can’t see See TORNADO, Page 7

MAIN STREET From Page 1A building, it was a bit scary, because I was one of the first to rehab an entire building.” she said. “I felt sure I could rent it if I took on the project. Edward Jones now leases the street level space and the two second-floor apartments have a waitlist of tenants. If more owners converted their second-floor space to apartments, I’m sure they’d have no trouble leasing them to young professionals.” Property owners know that to draw tenants, they must offer a destination of shops consumers want downtown. Within the last year, three such owners have invested both time and money to bring their buildings back to life and attract new businesses downtown. Gregg Johnson and his wife Sherry purchased 213 S. Battleground Avenue and have made what was old new again. During the renovation of this 10,000 sq. ft. piece of Kings Mountain history, the Johnson have upgraded the power with 600-amp service, added a sprinkler system, replaced the roof and windows, and added six bathrooms. With separate entrance options, the space can be divided, upstairs and down. During its history, the building is known as the first store in the downtown district, first remaining brick building in the city, first post office, first Mayor’s office, W.A. Mauney and J.S. Mauney’s Store, Keeter’s Department Store, Rose’s, and a gym. Through the Johnson’s efforts, this Kings Mountain landmark has been saved. Johnson doesn’t have a specific use in mind for the store. “I feel the space would be ideal for a restaurant or brewery. We’ve been approached by a hair salon, too,” Johnson said. “The alleyway next door and ample parking in-front and behind the building will be an asset for anyone who are interested in the space.” Around the corner, at 133 W. Mountain Street, Shelby native Iris Hubbard and Chef Jim Sexton, are prepping the space for their new venture named 133 West, a restaurant featuring Southern food with a twist. Framing and electrical are coming along for the upfit, including the wiring for two 42-inch televisions. Theirs will be the first restaurant with patio dining downtown. Hubbard traveled the world but started her career in the restaurant industry in Wilmington, NC at Elijah’s and the Pilot House. She later moved on to an export firm and lived in Dubai for seven years. “I got a feel for the world and cuisine, because I traveled extensively with my work,” Hubbard said. Chef Sexton adds, “Currently we have fourteen appetizers, seven entrees, and seven salads for our menu. We continue to work on our lunch menu with several different sandwich items so far.” When asked what those items were, Sexton replied, ‘We’re keeping the menu secret just a little while longer.” 133 West will offer vegan options and seating for 54 indoors and 36 on the patio. While a firm opening date has not been established, the restaurant could open late Spring to early Summer, depending upon permits and construction. Next door to 133 West is a property purchased by Jimbo Thompson and his wife in January 2019. What had been the

Kenny Richardson welcomes the tour group to Trackside Wine and Spirits, the last stop of the Main Street unveiling. Griffin Drug Center, located at 129 W. Mountain Street, will soon become a brewery called Ungrateful Colonial. In keeping with Kings Mountain’s revolution theme, brewery owner Bobby Sawyer explained that he took the name from a t-shirt he once saw that read, “Happy Treason Day, Ungrateful Colonials.” Ungrateful Colonial is planned to open this summer, offering pizza and salads, along with their signature beers in a family-friendly atmosphere. Upstairs they will offer shuffleboard and video games, Sawyer said. “We’ll also make our own root beer for the kids. And, for those who wish to take our beer home with them, we’ll also
offer growlers.” When asked about the cabinetry that once spanned the left side of the space, Sawyer replied, “We have saved those cabinets and plan to use them in some way in the brewery’s decor.” The downtown tour ended at Trackside Wine and Spirits, a venture between Kenny Richardson and Bobby Horne at 212 S. Railroad Avenue. The shop officially opened on Dec. 21 but had a soft opening at Thanksgiving. Horne and Richardson welcomed the tour saying, “All downtown business owners need to work together for all of
us to be successful. We need to support each other, because the only way we can be successful is by working together.” When asked about his shop, Richardson said, “We offer quality wines, beer, craft beer, and spirits.” Susan Matheson, Main Street Director, wrapped up the evening and thanked everyone for attending.

SHERIFF NORMAN SWITCHES POLITICAL PARTY – On Thursday, February 6, Sheriff Alan Norman switched his political affiliation to Republican. In a phone interview, Sheriff Norman said, “The Democratic Party left me, I didn’t leave it. The National Democratic Party has become anti-military, anti-law enforcement, anti-2nd amendment, and anti-prayer. These are items I strongly believe in and the party does not, so it was time for me to make a change. This will not impact the Sheriff’s Office and our day-to-day operations. We will continue to do our jobs in a professional manner serving the citizens of Cleveland County.” Sheriff Norman is pictured above with Tim Moore, Speaker of the House.

OPINION
TODAY’S QUOTE:
Wednesday, February 12, 2020
Love is the greatest refreshment in life. –Pablo Picasso
Pieces of Kings Mountain History A few weeks ago, I walked through Mountain Rest Cemetery admirLORETTA ing all the COZART wreaths the DAR placed on the graves of veterans last December. As I walked along, a flood of emotion came over me as I realized the many names of families I knew there. When you come from a place, names give you comfort and a feeling of belonging. I know it sounds strange, but it is true. I happened to walk past a marker for the Cheshire family and noticed for the first time, two small plaques placed at the grave of Angelique Rabe Cheshire. The first reads, “Here rests Angelique Cheshire, wife of John and mother of John Jr. Great lady of the finest traditions, the Congress of the United States. Born Dec. 6, 1891 – Colmar, Alsace-Lorraine, France, Died Sept 7, 1966 Kings Mountain, NC. This bronze placed here in honor of Angelique by her husband John.” Interesting, I thought. Who was this woman? I know Lyn Cheshire. Certainly, the two must be related. I thought I knew about most of the families in Kings Mountain, but this story has eluded me. So, I searched for info on Find-A-Grave and found a second plaque I missed at the graveside that was even more intriguing than the first. “Angelique Cheshire, a proud daughter of France who loved her adoptive land and did so much to strengthen the ties between our two countries. The Re-
public of France. Charles Lucet, Ambassador. Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary.” I immediately Googled Plenipotentiary. According to Dictionary. Com, it means “a person, especially a diplomat, invested with the full power of independent action on behalf of their government, typically in a foreign country.” I still can’t figure out how to pronounce it though. My next step was to find what I could about Angelique Rabe Cheshire. In an article written after her death, it says she grew up in Switzerland and Freinberg, Germany where her family moved when she was 12. Her mother was French and her father, a Germain artist. She and Mr. Cheshire met in this country and they were married in New York City in 1921. By 1930, the family lived in Cameron, TX with son, John Allyn Cheshire, Jr. Angelique also had an older son by a prior marriage named Frederick Sloan. Then I stumbled across an article online about John Allyn Cheshire, Sr., a retired newspaperman who was interviewed in a 1949 article in the Greensboro Daily News while he lived in Chapel Hill, NC. He and his wife, Angelique owned a self-service laundry. On the advice of his doctor, he retired due to health. Cheshire was involved with the newspaper business for 30 years and said he worked at 56 papers in his lifetime. They purchased the Rosemary Automatic Laundry on Rosemary Street in Chapel Hill when he was 52-years old. During his career, he was the circulation manager for the Raleigh News
and Observer and also worked at the Greensboro Daily News. During the last year of WWII, he was a special investigator and held the rank of major. He even went to Mexico and followed rebel Escobar’s army as a freelancer. What does all this have to do with Angelique Cheshire, you might ask? Well, I’ll get to that in a minute. Eventually, Cheshire found his way to Greenwood, SC where he founded his own paper, the Plain Dealer, which he published for eight years. During that time, he wrote a syndicated column called “Along Life’s Highways and By-ways.” Ah, now it makes sense how a 30-year newspaper veteran could work for 56 newspapers. His column was syndicated. Around 1955 John Allyn Cheshire, Sr. and wife, Angelique, moved to Kings Mountain to be with their son, John Allyn Cheshire, Jr. who owned and operated Patterson Oil. Another interesting thing the article shared was that Cheshire was a man of distinction, being named an honorary Texas Ranger, cited for distinguished service during the war by the Red Cross, commended for spirited leadership at the Plain Dealer in a letter written by President Roosevelt, and the recipient of an invitation to attend the forth inauguration of President Roosevelt. Armed with all this knowledge, I called Lyn Cheshire to get the scoop. Why did Angelique Cheshire have two plaques with accolades from the US Congress and the French government? Lyn Cheshire explained that his Grandfather was

a ‘Kentucky Colonel’ who loved his wife. After her death in 1966, Cheshire had a lot of time on his hands and missed Angelique so much, he wrote to Congress and the Ambassador of France and received quotes her could use to honor her. The truth was that Angelique Rabe Cheshire was a devoted, hard-working woman, who loved her husband and followed him across the country. She was the wife of a newspaperman. After her death in 1966, John Cheshire, Sr. missed his wife so much that the worked gathering quotes and honoring her during the remaining seven years of his life.

in the class got a card. Sometimes people would not receive as many as others and some cute girls and guys always got a few more. That may or may not have been so good. Maybe this Valentine’s Day, while you are being romantic toward your spouse of significant other, you can pass some kindness and love out to some others. If you can get to the cheap boxes of candy early you can buy several people a box. I’ve found that my coworkers love getting a small box of candy as do children and friends. It never hurts to pass the love around. I was taught to love God and my fellow man but I can’t love Hitler, serial killers, ISIS terrorists, and a few other evil people. God has a kind of love that I don’t always understand or grasp, especially when it comes to me. Why would he ever love me? It befuddles me. This year think about befuddling a few people as Valentine’s Day gives you a perfect opportunity to do so.

Undefiled Exiles If, as Psalm 24 declares, “The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it, the world and all who live in it,” why are Christians called “sojourners” and “exiles” in ScripRev. ture? Shouldn’t we Rob Patrick, Pastor be right at home in a world belonging Boyce Memorial ARP to our God? The answer to this question is rooted in the corruption of the world through the sin of Adam and Eve, recorded in Genesis 3. As a result of their breaking covenant with God, even the ground is cursed, and God has given Satan a limited
reign over the earth. That is why Jesus calls Satan “the ruler of this world,” and Paul refers to him as “the prince of the power of the air.” Be sure of this: Jesus reigns at the right hand of His Father in heaven, having been given all authority in heaven and earth! But until the appointed day of His return, the devil is granted power to work in the world. Peter says he “prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” Thus, God’s people live as “exiles,” waiting for the coming of Jesus and His eternal kingdom, to which we belong as citizens. How do Christian exiles live in a world corrupted by sin, facing the realities of temptation and spir-
itual opposition? Peter instructs in 2 Peter 3:13,14: “But according to His promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.” Peter calls Christians to diligence in living undefiled lives! This was Daniel’s concern as an exile in Babylon. Daniel 1:8 declares that Daniel, “…resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food or with the wine that he drank.” God blessed Daniel in learning all the literature and wisdom of the Babylonians. But Daniel would not become a Babylonian in his heart, appetites,
or behaviors. He would not defile himself. Is this not our concern as Christian exiles today? Education, politics, and social engagement are all important for Christians. But we must guard against defilement. In Paul’s words to Titus, we are to, “… renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, Who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for Himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.” This is the call to live, like Daniel, as undefiled exiles!

Sneak-peek last Friday
Catawba Indian pottery exhibit opens Feb. 11 Kings Mountain Historical Museum hosted a sneak preview of their newest exhibit, Language of Clay: Catawba Indian Potter and Oral Traditions, on Feb. 7 from 5:30 - 7:30 pm. Guests enjoyed drinks and snacks at the museum. In addition, Chief Harris, of the Catawba Nation, attended and explained the methods used to create lovely pottery pieces. Mayor Scott Neisler honored Chief Harris and the Catawba Indian Nation by proclamation as the program began. Guest, novice and expert alike, could talk with Chief Harris about the Catawba Indian method of working in clay. Chief Harris is an expert in the subject of Catawba pottery. Harris's Catawba roots are deep, and he is proud of his heritage. His father is Floyd William Harris. His grandfather, Douglas Harris, was a Chief of the Catawba Nation and his grandmother, Georgia, was a talented potter who was instrumental in preserving the Catawba people's fourthousand-year-old art form. She passed her love for the art form to Chief Harris, who is now an accomplished traditional potter in his own right. Chief Harris was born and raised near the Catawba reservation in upstate South Carolina. He worked as a self-employed craftsman for most of his adult life. In his limited spare time, Chief Harris uses the opportunity to practice the craft of making his Nation's pottery. In doing so, he feels bound to his ancestors, and he becomes another link in the chain that connects the Catawba people's past to their future. Based on collections at the University of South

Brandi Lea Snyder shared this photo of a house crushed by a tree in the Dixon community.
TORNADO From Page 1A the damage inflicted. When the tornado traveled through the Dixon community, it toppled four high tension electrical transmission towers. Electrical service was not interrupted, because these are not lines for local service. It took a large team working to address the issue and their numbers alone garnished much attention. At Dixon Presbyterian Church, the hurricane toppled trees, ripping them from the ground and throwing them into the roof. A member of the church who wished not to be named, said she heard water running and went to the kitchen only to find it running down the wall. She then went upstairs to find a gigantic hole and huge limbs from a fallen tree had come through the roof. There was a lot of damage to both the church and fellowship building, which is the old Dixon School. At the end of a small parking area beside the church, a power pole was broken in two and left dangling as powerlines lay strewn on the pavement. A once lovely home at the intersection of Dixon School Road. and Bethlehem Rd.
that was surrounded by huge shade trees was heavily damaged. Those large trees were uprooted, and limbs snapped, tearing off the porch and crushing the chain-link fence as the trees crashed to the ground. Another home was destroyed when a tree crushed it. Several homes lost their shingles and debris was scattered in trees and across fields in the area. At Lake Montonia, Marti Nicholson Anderson shared, “Tornado went right over the house. Took out a bunch of trees and power is out.” Mayor Neisler reported that the Police Club had three trees on their roof. Due to saturated ground and high winds, trees were down all over town and kept crews at the city busy on Thursday and Friday. Pucky Nantz saw large trees laying across Alex D. Owens Drive near Kings Mountain City Lake Number 2. She also said large trees were knocked down and had fallen toward and into the lake. “It’s a real mess out there,” she shared. Heavy rains Wednesday night into Thursday caused several roads and bridges in the area wash out. The bridge along the access road to Veronét Vineyards & Winery
sustained damage when the railings were washed away by the rising stream. By Friday afternoon, the bridge was repaired, and access restored. The Love Valley Bridge was washed out by flooding water, also. Tracy Stewart shared a photo of the water pouring across Love Valley Road. It did the same on Marshall Wolfe Road. Rushing water washed out the bridge on Lavender Road taking two sections of the bridge with it. No dates have yet been shared for repair, causing inconvenience for residents of that area. Until then, residents will have to go through Patterson Springs. Locals can take Roseboro Rd. from Lavender Rd., to Hwy 226 to Grover, and I-85. Retired KMHS Principal, Jackie Lavender, shared “My daughter, Betsy, was coming home from work in Charlotte after 6 pm, well after dark. Thank goodness a man who lived on Lavender Rd. blocked the road with his truck and had his lights on to alert drivers. The highway crew got there a little later with signs and barriers. The center two sections of the bridge are gone, and water was high. Had that man not taken it upon himself to warn others, it would have been deadly!’

Kobe Paysour puts up a runner in win over Ashbrook.
Mountaineers roll over Green Wave 96-68 Kings Mountain’s men kept their Big South championship hopes alive, but the Lady Mountaineers’ dream of a second straight league title went down the drain in a doubleheader with the Ashbrook Green Wave last Tuesday at Parker Gym. The KM teams were scheduled to resume BSC play last night, and if they can win the rest of their conference games could assure themselves of a home first round state playoff game. Ashbrook’s girls, who finished second to the champion Lady Mountaineers last year, regained their status as the best team in the conference with a 71-25 victory before the Mountaineers avenged an earlier season loss to the
Green Wave, 96-68. The Mountaineers were exceptional on both offense and defense in demolishing a very good Ashbrook team. After an 18-all tie at the end of the first quarter the Mountaineers outscored their visitors 28-11 in the second quarter for a 46-29 halftime lead, and continued to pile up the points with a 50-point second half. Isaiah Tate had one of his best games of the year, swishing the nets for 30 points. A former Ashbrook player, Greg Brockington, also had a super outing with 18 points and nine assists. Rasheem Hughes with 12 points, and LT Thomas with 13 joined them in double figures. Kings Mountain had one of is best all-around shooting nights of the season,
hitting 46 percent from beyond the arc and 49 percent inside of it. Tate had five of the Mountaineers’ 11 threepoint goals. The Mountaineers’ defense came up with 18 steals. The Ashbrook girls were unbeatable on this night as their defense dominated the Lady Mountaineers. Sophomore Saniya Wilson, coming off several spectacular games when she averaged well over 20 points, was held to 12. CoRey Simpson scored four and Alayna Patrick, Khalia King and Essence Houser three each. Ashbrook got off to a blazing start, outscoring the KM ladies 17-2 in the first period. Zoey Ward led the winners with 21 points, Shay Portee had 19 and Emerald Butler 12.

Isaiah Tate goes in for two of his game-high 30 points.
KM swept by Shelby Kings Mountain High’s basketball teams were swept by Shelby in a non-conference doubleheader Friday night in the county seat. The Lady Mountaineers stayed in the game with the powerful Shelby ladies in the first quarter, trailing by just 19-12 at the end of the period. But Shelby outscored the KM girls 26-10 in the second quarter to go into halftime with a 45-23 halftime lead, and then held the KM offense to just three points in the third quarter and four in the fourth to finish off a 74-30 victory. The loss dropped KM to 8-14 overall, but heading into last night’s game at Forestview the Lady Mountaineers were still in second place in the Big South and
can wrap up a first round home playoff game if they don’t drop another conference tilt. Saniya Wilson led the Lady Mountaineers with 11 points. Essence Houser scored eight, Khalia King six, Alayna Patrick and Kennedy Barnes two each and Tyasia Bell one. Kate Hollifield led the Lady Lions with 24 points, and Ally Hollifield added 17. Isaiah Tate had another spectacular game for the Mountaineers with 31 points, but they fell to the Lions 86-66. Despite the non-league loss, the Mountaineers were still in second place in the Big South heading into last night’s game. If they can

Kings Mountain stayed with the older and more experienced Lions for a half, going into the break with a 39-39 tie, but the Lions outscored the Mountaineers 25-12 in the third period to win going away. The Kings Mountain teams end their regular season Tuesday night at home against county rival Crest.

Kings Mountain Middle’s boys basketball team defeated East Lincoln and Lincolnton last week to run their division record to 5-0 and overall mark to 6-1. The Patriots defeated East 56-36 after jumping to a 19-8 lead in the first period. Bryson Brown and Zavian Smith combined for 11 points as all five Patriot starters got on the board. In the second quarter the Pats continued their offensive onslaught as the starters continued hot and ran the score to 34-20 at the half. KM continued to pressure East Lincoln and outscored them 14-6 during the period. Micah Ward scored 10 points during the quarter. KM finished the game behind the scoring of Bradley Floyd and Tucker Robinette. Micah Ward led the attack with 19 points, four rebounds, four assists and six steals.

All 16 KM players have scored this year. The second game matched two undefeated teams battling for sole possession of first place in the East. KM started cold as Curtis Simpson made the only field goal of the first quarter as KM trailed 7-6. The Patriots turned up their defensive intensity in the second quarter, outscoring the Wildcats 12-6 to take an 18-13 lead into halftime. The second half became

KM got its offense going as Nic Cole and Bardley Flloyd combined for eight points and three assists to lead a 12-1 charge that put KM over the top 43-32. Smith scored eight points and had five boards and three steals; Simpson added eight points, 12 rebounds and three steals, Micah Ward seven points, Bradley Floyd six points and two assists; Qua Sanders five points, seven boards and five steals; Bryson Brown five points and four steals; Nic Cole two points and 10 rebounds and Jack Toney two points, a steal and a blocked shot.

Apple app helps veterans and others deal with stress Speaker Moore Three or four times a week, whenever he needs to calm his mind, Steve Mills launches the Healium AR app on his iPhone. His favorite spot to use it is in a park on the banks of the slowly churning Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee. The Healium app is free at the Apple Store. If you want to control the app with a wearable, there is a small additional charge. “Sometimes I walk down to the riverfront here and sit on a bench and look at the water,” says Mills, as he motions to the app, open on his phone. “And using this just puts me in a really good state of mind.” Mills starts one of Healium AR’s guided meditations by first syncing his Apple Watch, which transmits his heart rate to the app. As he takes deeper breaths, his heart rate slows, and a solar system of planets illuminates in front of him, thanks to the app’s use of augmented reality (AR). Healium AR blends storytelling, neuroscience and game design so users can harness their feelings to power virtual worlds and find a sense of calm. Healium AR uses neurofeedback to help users’ power virtual worlds and reduce anxiety. “It’s cumulative, it builds up over time, but you learn how to deal with it. I have several outlets. Healium AR is one of them.” In these moments, he says, he is able to clear his thoughts, and quiet his memories. “I’m not afraid of the memories,” says Mills, who
is a commander in the US Navy. “But I have to control them.” Mills has spent a collective 29 years in the military — 10 as an Air Force firefighter, and 19 in his current role as a Navy chaplain. His service has taken him all over the world, including deployments to Iraq, Afghanistan and long stretches on aircraft carriers where he helped counsel a floating city of thousands of military personnel. He supports families who receive news that their loved ones aren’t coming home, and sailors who are waging battles long after they leave the war zone. In 2008, Mills came back from Iraq and started working to complete his doctorate in ministry, which focused on combat stress. He took a group of Navy veterans through three months of counseling, using Bible verse as a healing tool. While studying how to help others cope with their trauma, he started having panic attacks of his own. Around the same time, in another part of the country, television journalist Sarah Hill was also confronting anxiety, beginning a chain of events that would lead her to develop Healium AR. The Missouri native had
been reporting on a never-ending stream of violence and tragedies for almost 20 years when her panic attacks began. “I lived by a police scanner,” Hill says. “Ultimately, consuming that much negativity made me sick.” She reached out to Dr. Jeff Tarrant, a family friend and licensed psychologist who was exploring what was then an emerging field: neurofeedback. He hooked Hill up to an electroencephalogram (EEG) machine, which uses electrodes placed on the scalp to map electrical activity in the brain. Tarrant paid particular attention to Hill’s anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), the part of the brain that is responsible for, among other things, focus and holding attention. “Anxiety is basically holding a thought or a feeling for too long and repeating it over and over again,” says Tarrant. “So, the ACC gets overheated because people are hyper focused on certain thoughts and feelings and they can’t let them go. And so we wanted to see, can we quiet this down?” Tarrant designed a program for Hill to use at home with a laptop and electrodes. She had to keep an animated airplane above a specific threshold on the screen. When she succeeded, it was because she was calming her frontal lobe brain activity, which includes the ACC. It worked. Over time, Hill was able to stop the panic attacks and start sleeping again. Inspired by the experience, she eventually left journalism and started working with a veteran’s organization that used virtual reality (VR)
and AR to transport those who were physically unable to travel to Washington, D.C. to visit the city’s war memorials. During those experiences, Hill started noticing a physical change in the veterans. “You would see it in their bodies,” Hill says. “[They] would relax, their bodies would soften, their breathing would appear to slow. Now I’m not a scientist, so that’s why I reached out to Jeff to say, ‘Can you study what these experiences are doing to [veterans’] physiology?’” Together, they started to explore the effects that VR and AR could have on mood and stress. They coupled that knowledge with the neurofeedback program Tarrant had designed to relieve Hill’s anxiety years before. The result: Healium AR. That comes as no surprise to Mills, who now counts Healium AR as one of the tools he uses to stay healthy — mentally and physically. “That same concept of using neurofeedback is what we built into Healium, combining [Tarrant’s] brainbased principles with our stories and game design,” says Hill. “But we stripped away all of the barriers to entry and made it easier to understand and more accessible, simply with an Apple Watch and your heart rate.” Earlier this year, Hill attended Apple Entrepreneur Camp, designed to help appdriven businesses founded and led by women. While there, the team workshopped and redesigned Healium AR to help it reach even more users, even more effectively. The updated app recently relaunched in the App Store.
to host town hall Potential airport road bridge over highway 74 bypass in Shelby State House Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) will host Cleveland County officials and residents on Tuesday, February 18, at 3:00 – 4:30 pm in the Commissioners’ Chambers of the Cleveland County Administration Building at 311 E. Marion St. in Shelby to discuss a potential overpass reconnecting Airport Road over the new Highway 74 Bypass. “The recent failure of the bridge on Highway 180 connecting Airport Road and Highway 150 in Shelby has exposed a serious transportation issue for Cleveland County,” Speaker Moore said, “affecting travel and emergency response times for businesses and resHealium AR was recently relaunched with new features after StoryUP CEO Sarah Hill attended Apple Entrepreneur Camp. Both Hill and Tarrant are quick to point out that Healium AR is not a replacement for medical therapy or medication. Over the last few years, Tarrant has published three studies with a fourth on the way showing that the app can reduce anxiety and increase a feeling of well-being for users in as little as four minutes. “Somebody asked me one time, ‘Chaplain how do you deal with all of that death, what do you do?’” Mills says.
idents that rely on Airport Road.” During construction of the Highway 74 Bypass, Airport Road was severed, and traffic diverted to Highway 180. When a Highway 180 bridge over the railroad was recently damaged, the already increasing traffic from the Airport Road detour pushed even more traffic to adjacent city and county roads, creating serious transportation mobility concerns for county officials, residents, and businesses. Speaker Moore and other General Assembly members will seek input from local residents, businesses, first responders, transportation officials, and county leaders on a plan to reconnect Airport Road with a bridge over the Highway 74 Bypass. “It’s cumulative, it builds up over time, but you learn how to deal with it. I have several outlets. Healium AR is one of them.”

When Should Dementia Patients Stop Driving? Dear Savvy Senior, Is there a good rule of thumb on when dementia patients should stop driving? My 82-year-old mom has early stage Alzheimer’s disease but still drives herself around town just fine. Inquiring Daughter Dear Inquiring, Most doctors agree that people with moderate to severe dementia should never get behind the wheel, but in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, driving performance should be the determining factor of when to stop driving, not the disease itself. With that said, it’s also important to realize that as your mom’s driving skills deteriorate over time from the disease, she might not recognize she has a problem. So, it’s very important that you work closely with her doctor to monitor her driving and help her stop when it is no longer safe for her to drive. Here are some additional tips that can help you. Watch for Warning Signs The best way to keep tabs on your mom’s driving is to take frequent rides with her
watching out for key warning signs. For example: Does she have trouble remembering routes to familiar places? Does she drive at inappropriate speeds, tailgate, drift between lanes or fail to observe traffic signs? Does she react slowly or make poor driving decisions? Also, has your mom had any fender benders or tickets lately, or have you noticed any dents or scrapes on her vehicle? All of these are red flags. If you need some assessment help, hire a driver rehabilitation specialist who’s trained to evaluate older drivers. See AOTA.org/older-driver or ADED.net to locate one in your area. Transition Tips Through your assessments, if you believe it’s still safe for your mom to drive, you should start recommending some simple adjustments to ensure her safety, like driving only in daylight and on familiar routes, and avoiding busy roads and bad weather. Also, see if she will sign an Alzheimer’s “driving contract” (see ALZ.org/driving to print one) that designates someone to tell her when it’s no longer safe to drive.
You may also want to consider getting a GPS car tracking device (like MotoSafety.com or AutoBrain.com) to help you keep an eye on her. These devices will let you track where she’s driving and allow you to set up zones and speed limits that will send you alerts to your smartphone when she exits an area, or if she’s driving too fast or braking harshly. Time to Quit When your mom’s driving gets to the point that she can no longer drive safely, you’ll need to talk to her. It’s actually best to start having these conversations in the early stages of the disease, before she needs to quit driving, so she can prepare herself.
Hartford.com/Publications-on-Aging. Refuses to Quit If your mom refuses to quit, you have several options. First, suggest a visit to her doctor who can give her a medical evaluation, and prescribe that she stops driving. Older people will often listen to their doctor before they will listen to their own family. If she still refuses, contact your local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to see if they can help. Some states require doctors to report new dementia cases to the DMV, who can revoke the person’s license.
You also need to have a plan for alternative transportation (including a list of family, friends and local transportation options) that will help your mom get around after she stops driving.
If these fail, consider hiding her keys or just take them away. You could also disable her vehicle by disconnecting the battery, park it in another location so she can’t see it or have access to it or sell it.
For tips on how to talk to your mom, the Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence offers a helpful guide called “At the Crossroads: Family Conversations About Alzheimer’s Disease, Dementia and Driving” that you can get at The-
