20 RIDE performs July 4th By Loretta Cozart America’s # 1 Zac Brown Tribute Band, 20 RIDE, will be performing on the Neisler Stage at ‘Red, White, and Boom’ at the Deal Park Track on July 4th. The first tribute of its kind, they are good enough to make Zac Brown’s tour manager Paul Chanon look twice. When he saw him, he said, “I had to do a double take... I thought it was really Zac.” This is not a wig wearing, lip syncing, pretending to play tribute. These are real players, making the
great music like Zac does at all his concerts. From traditional country, to Caribbean rhythm, to sultry ballads, 20 RIDE brings all the best Zac has to offer. There is something for everyone. Whether you love their mega hits like “Chicken Fried”, “Colder Weather”, “Free, “Toes”, “Highway 20 Ride” or many more, 20 RIDE will play all your favorites and some cool covers too.

Liberty Mountain shines brightly By Loretta Cozart Friday, June 29th, ‘Liberty Mountain” opened for its fifth season at the Joy Performance Theater to a packed house. Patrons gathered in the lobby, buying T-shirts and commemorative programs before being shown to their seats. Folks gathered at the concession stand to buy soft drinks and converse with friends. Everyone was giddy with excitement in anticipation. Two young boys were introduced to playwright Bob
Inman, who greeted them warmly and shook their hands. This may be their first-time attending Liberty Mountain, or maybe just the first time they’ll remember. They’ll never forget how welcomed Bob Inman made them feel. Artist Thomas Kelly Pauly spoke with patrons and talked about his portraits on display at the theater this year. Six of the nine pieces are new portraits in his Kings Mountain Commander Series. Folks made their way through the crowd to greet him.
As we were seated, I couldn’t help but notice how nice the theater looked. The theater we knew in the 70’s is long gone. It is tastefully redone and is a proper showplace for performances in Kings Mountain. The preshow began with an ensemble signing traditional tunes to get us in the mood for the drama about to unfold. They welcomed patrons from Georgia, South Carolina, and Eastern North Carolina and recognized the veterans in attendance before singing “My Country See LIBERTY, Page 7A

Swofford signing books at Red, White, and Boom
Goin’ South: in search of equality By Lib Stewart & Loretta Cozart Rev. Dale Swofford is a story-teller at heart, a man who loves history and people. But, don’t call him Reverend, just call him Dale. “I started writing in Kings Mountain when I was driving back and forth to Hood Theological Seminary in Salisbury in 2004 and shared copies of four chapters with my professors who said they couldn’t wait to read the ending,’’ said Swofford, former pastor of Grace United Methodist Church and son of Ruth and Roy Swofford of Kings Mountain. Last year Swofford expanded the story and the book will be on the Amazon shelves this month. He will also be in Kings Mountain for a book signing, during Red, White, and Boom at the Deal Park Walking Track on July 4th. Swofford inherited his love of history from his great grandfather Grier McDaniel, who told him stories about the Battle of Kings Mountain. His book is laced with historical facts along with a fictional story of 12-year-old boy who goes to visit his grandparents in Birmingham, Ala. in 1963 and experiences racism, hatred and prejudice. He was there with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and was in the group of protestors locked up in animal stalls. His journey took him to Washington, DC where he heard the “I Have A Dream” speech. The story is told through the eyes of a young black boy who never witnessed discrimination, but while it is fiction it is based on historical facts. “Goin’ South’’ lays bare the viciousness of bigotry and the evil that man can do to man while still holding hope that trust and belief in God may change the dark vitriol and fear that some hold in their hearts against others of a
different color to peace and goodwill without regard to the color of a man’s skin. Swofford loves to teach and searches for opportunities whenever he can. So, when he needed a cover for his book, he thought it would be an excellent opportunity for a student. He reached out to Cleveland County Schools and asked permission to approach the art departments at all four of the high school in the district. He was given permission and the search was on. He narrowed his prospects by requesting art submissions and saw promise in the portrait art of 15-year-old Myla Athitang, a freshman at Kings Mountain High School. Through collaboration with Swofford, Athitang added flesh and bones to the characters in Swofford’s story. “After M y l a read my book, I described one character to her, Aunt Philomena, and she brought my vision to life. She nailed it!” As a result, she illustrated the book and painted the cover. “One requirement of the publisher is that they retain the rights to the illustrations and artwork books they publish. But this remarkable young woman did a great job. So, I told them that was a deal breaker. They reconsidered and eventually agreed to take out the clause, as long as the art isn’t used for another book,” said Swofford. Swofford is an artist himself. I enjoy working in clay, stained glass, leather
Rev. Dale Swofford presents Myla Athitang her framed and matted artwork. Photo submitted (he teaches at the Tryon Art Center), carving, paint, sculpture, and photography. “But, I can’t draw the human form to save my life,” says Swofford. So, it is only natural that he admires the skill of Myla Athitang. “She did a wonderful job and deserves all the recognition,” he said. Swofford is writing two more books: “Colonial Patriot” and “Gold” and both are fiction but contain historical content. “Colonial Patriot” is the story of a young boy growing up in the hills of Pennsylvania in colonial times. He strikes out on his own at age 16. The Great Wagon Road brings him to Salem, NC. He spends the winter with the Cherokee Indians. He joins the Allentown Settlement in Jonesville and meets with Cleveland and
fights in the Battle of Kings Mountain. He has outlined a third book, “Gold” which recounts the first gold rush in America in California and the first gold discovered in Kings Creek, SC and mined at Kings Mountain Mining Co. In 1961, and the US Government's ’opening of a mint in Charlotte which is now the Mint Museum. “I hated History in school,’’ says Swofford, adding, the dates were not important as the stories of people.” Swofford’s goal is to volunteer and share history with history classes. Swofford graduated from Crest High School, earned his B. A. degree from UNC at Charlotte and his Master of Divinity from Hood Theological Seminary. He is married to Karen Marie Black Swofford and they have two sons, Christopher, 22, and Benjamin, 17, a junior at Crest High School. They live near Boiling Springs.
Artist Pauley displays portraits during run of Liberty Mountain Starting on Friday, June 29th, Thomas Kelly Pauley will display his American Revolutionary portraits at the Joy Performance Center, throughout the production of Liberty Mountain. Of the nine pieces displayed, six are new portraits in his Kings Mountain Commander Series. “After receiving a Graphic Design degree Art Institute of Pittsburgh, I came home to the South and worked for over a decade as a Graphic Designer in Charlotte, NC,” said Pauley. “I left the corporate world some years ago, deciding to make a living at my first love, Fine Arts. I work full time as a portrait artist from my home studio. My work can be found in private collections and in Historic sites and Museums in eight states. “I'm a member of the Art's Council of York County, the Southern Arts Society Inc., The Kings Mountain "Brigade
of Friends", The South Carolina Historical Society and The New England Historical Society. I'm also proud to be a "Friend of the Fort" at Old Fort Wayne, in Fort Wayne Indiana.” Pauley is known for his Contemporary, Civil War, and American Revolutionary War portraits.

KMHS students visit Spain By Loretta Cozart
On June 18, sixteen 10th – 12th grade students and 2 chaperones departed Kings Mountain High School for a 10-day educational excursion to Barcelona and Madrid, Spain. Students participating were Grace Bolin, James Carroll, Samara Cole, Chloe Cooke, Allison Dennis, Edward Freeman, Randall Horn, Alissa Hunter, Olivia Martin, Clyde Morrow, Gabe Stroup, Jordana Velez, and Josh Visoso. The chaperones were Liza Dellinger and Lisa Rose. “I have been interested in starting a global travel program at KMHS because other high schools in our county have been going on similar international trips,” said educator and trip organizer Liza Dellinger. “I wanted our students to have the same opportunities. “We have had several meetings throughout the year to discuss what to do to be ready to travel (how to get passports, how to pack, how cell phones work abroad, what to use for payment, how to convert money to Euros, etc.,” Dellinger said. To prepare for the trip, most students acquired, or
renewed, their passports, bought proper sized carry-on luggage, and converted currency. Gabe Stroup took extra steps “not to over pack to make sure my trip is enjoyable and stress free.” Allison Dennis shared that she was, “most looking forward to seeing how people live their lives outside of the US and to experience their culture.” When asked what challenges they anticipated before the trip, the students gave varying answers “Food and language. I’ve been reading about the differences in American food versus the food in Spain,” said Allison Dennis. James Carroll replied, “I think the hardest adjustment will be the language barrier. Even though I have taken Spanish classes in High School, I’m not sure if I’ll be able to have a conversation with a native speaker.” When they arrived in Barcelona, the group joined with 4 other high school groups from across the country to travel together. In Barcelona, students toured las Ramblas, Parque Guell, la Sagrada Familia, and the Gothic Quarter. On their way to Madrid, they
made a stop in Zaragoza and visited El Pilar Basilica. In Madrid, they visited the Gran Via, Calle Mayor and Puerta del Sol, ending at the Royal Palace for a guided visit. Later that evening, the attended a lesson in Flamenco dancing and enjoyed a traditional show. On their last day, the students had a walking tour of Madrid, ending at the Prado for a self-guided visit. These students and their chaperones prepared for their trip, unsure of what to expect while traveling to abroad. Their fears were now in the past and they have returned home with a lifetime of memories about a people and culture far different from their own. They have gained the experience this trip gave them to confidently prepare for whatever trips lay ahead of them.

OPINION
Wednesday, July 4, 2018
TODAY’S QUOTE:
Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you’ll start having positive results. – Willie Nelson
We are from Kings Mountain and proud of it I’ve been writing for the Herald for three years on a regular LORETTA basis. Some COZART of you have noticed I write a bit more lately. That is because my friend, Lib Stewart, wasn’t well and I offered to help until her health returned. In Kings Mountain, we do what we can to help each other. I’ve known Lib since I was 17, as best as I can remember. I’m sure I knew of her before that time, but in 1977 I began taking
pictures around town and submitting them to the Herald in exchange for a by-line. I fancied myself budding photojournalist at the time. As I’ve spent more time in town sharing the news of the community, I’ve fallen in love with Kings Mountain all over again. Being from this city is a unique experience; one that stays with you no matter where you go. It is hard to describe and anyone I’ve ever met from this place is quite proud of that fact. While living in Austin, Texas, I met a man who
described his hometown as “a small city just outside of Gastonia”. I paused to note his use of the term “city” and said, “You wouldn’t be from Kings Mountain, would you?” To which, he replied, “How do you know about Kings Mountain?” I told him, “I’m from Kings Mountain, and proud of it!” During the last few weeks, I’ve spoken with countless residents about everything from high school graduation to why they think Battleground Avenue should keep its name. We share a common heritage and a love of
this place. I’ve witnessed countless people doing good for each other here, growing community gardens, taking young people on trips, mourning the loss of public servants, feeding veterans, honoring our heritage, thanking customers for their patronage with ads in the paper, performing historical dramas of epic proportion, welcoming friends, celebrating birthdays, and representing our community at the state and national levels. People are proud of our town and what we do for each other.
I’ve attended two City Council meetings and am encouraged by those who make the time to work so hard for our citizens. On Tuesday of last week, I witnessed something unique. Mayor Neisler paused to have City Council, and the audience, sing Lib Stewart a happy birthday. We are from Kings Mountain and we do things a little differently here. We celebrate July Fourth with great pride and take time to honor our veterans. We have the largest fireworks show between Charlotte and Asheville. We embrace the
red, white, and blue and don’t apologize for doing so. We are Americans first, but never forget we are from Kings Mountain. And, we take time for each other. Life is a precious gift and we should celebrate it with those we love. I’m glad to report that Lib is feeling better and I hope she’ll be home by the time this paper hits the newsstands. I’m sure other cities are great, but they aren’t Kings Mountain. Here we support our friends and celebrate them whenever we can. We are from Kings Mountain, after all, and we are proud of it.
Liberty Mountain Border pain off and running and our children by Robert Inman After our first weekend of shows and our special presentation on July 4, we INMAN can safely say that “Liberty Mountain” is a roaring success. In this, our fifth season at the Joy Performance Center in downtown Kings Mountain, our audiences are enthusiastic and complimentary. We are truly bringing history to life in our story of the settling of the Carolinas and the 1780 Battle of Kings Mountain that turned the tide of the American Revolution. We have three more weekends of performances – 7:30pm Fridays, 3:00pm and 7:30pm Saturday, and 3:00pm Sundays. This critical piece of history happened right in our backyards, and everyone in our area, especially young folks, should know about it. The liberties we enjoy today are the direct result of the brave Patriots who won the battle and set the Revolution on its way to conclusion. In any stage production, what happens behind the scenes is vitally important and makes the on-stage action possible. We are fortunate to have members of our company who are expert in such things as costumes, wigs and makeup, sound, lights, music and dialect coaching. During each performance, our stage manager and her assistant are the ones who make all the elements of the play come together, accurately and on time. Our crew members don’t always get the credit they deserve, but we couldn’t do the play without their energy, talent and dedication. This year, for the first
Savannah Willis (left) and Faith Custar, Kings Mountain High School interns for “Liberty Mountain.” time, we’re fortunate to have with us two interns from Kings Mountain High School. Faith Custar is a recent graduate who will be moving on next Spring to the excellent theatre program at UNC-Greensboro. She’s been involved in the theatre program at the high school since she was a freshman. Along the way, she had to choose between her two great career interests, theatre and criminal justice. The longer she worked in theatre, the more she knew that is where she wants to spend her creative life. In “Liberty Mountain,” Faith is an assistant in the upstairs booth where all of the technical parts of the show are controlled. She helps with lights, sound and projection, something she hasn’t done before. So with us, she’s learning a lot of important new phases of the theatre experience. Savannah Willis is a rising senior at Kings Mountain High. She started working with the theatre program in the tenth grade, and quickly learned that her primary interest is in theatrical wigs and makeup. After graduation, she wants to attend the North Carolina
School of the Arts, and has already gotten wisdom and encouragement from one of the professors there. In our show, you’ll find her backstage working to make sure every actor has the right makeup before they go on stage. The show has a lot of fight scenes, so the makeup is vital to making things realistic. Our actors also wear wigs in many scenes, and Savannah makes sure each has the right thing at the right time. Faith and Savannah give a lot of credit to their high school theatre teacher, Logan Canipe. He encouraged them to seek internships with “Liberty Mountain” as a way to expand their range of talents. They say he’s a terrific teacher who supports and encourage his students, shares a vast fund of theatre knowledge, and nurtures their development. Three weekends to go, so come see our play – the drama onstage, and the good work of those behind the scenes who make things happen on time.

Lots of outrage has been seen and heard around America over the treatment of families illegally entering the United States. President Trump has signed an executive Glenn Mollette Guest Editorial order to keep the families together. I’m not sure where Americans want to keep these families who took a great risk to enter our country hoping to gain entrance quickly and illegally. It did not work out for them. I know quite a few people who live in our country who have moved here from Mexico, Myanmar and other parts of the world. They are working very hard and are very supportive of the laws of America. Breaking the law always has some
penalty or repercussions. I’m all for keeping border families together. I would never want to see children ripped away from a mother or father. Those crossing the border for the most part are very desperate people in search of a better place. Every day people fill out the necessary paper work, go through the proper channels and enter our country. Millions of them are now working a job that many Americans no longer want to work which is very sad for our country. However, it’s good for those who want to work it seems. What do we do with these border families now? Do we keep them in full service hotels or house them at a resort property in Disney World? They have left third world countries where conditions apparently were not very good. See CHILDREN, Page 7A
Looking back By Loretta Cozart On July 5, 2945, Plonk Bros. & Co. ran an ad in the Kings Mountain Herald sharing their history and memories about Kings Mountain during their 46 years in business, “Since 1899… On July 1, 1899 Plonk, Kiser, and Company opened for business. There were three clerks and the food on the shelves were what we now know as staples. Kings Mountain was really small then, with only a few other business firms, a hotel, a railroad depot in the heart of the town, and a few manufacturing plants. Mountain street, like the others, was unpaved

and when it rained it almost literally became knee-deep in mud. Fat-back meat was five cents per pound, and calico (there were no prints) was the big item for women’s dresses. You could get a month’s board for $7.50. White shirting was five cents a yard too. In the 46 years since this firm was opened, much has changed in Kings Mountain. The little crossroads town at the turn of the century has become a thriving city, with much industry and business. During these years we have seen one war successfully concluded, a ravaging depression, and another war. While many of our
customers today are those who visited us in 1899, the majority of them are sons and daughters and grandchildren of those who first did their buying at Plonk’s. As we enter our 47th year, we wish to state our appreciation to those who have made our business successful, and those who have been our friends through good times and bad, war and peace, happiness and sorrow. And as we state our appreciation for the kindnesses of the past let us say that we are looking forward to the future of Kings Mountain as a retail business which specializes in good merchandise and a fair price.

Living in true freedom... As citizens, neighknow, those negative borhoods and towns outcomes (or consearound the country quences) can weigh prepare to celebrate us down and over the Fourth of July, time, we become we collectively recprisoners of those ognize our freedoms consequences as a reas Americans. Howsult of the choices we ever, I cannot help but have made. wonder how many How can we exJeff Wilson of us are truly free? perience and live in Pastor Countless brothers, freedom? One answer sisters, neighbors, Kings Mountain to that question is to coworkers, etc. are Church of the make good choices Nazarene held captive in menor wise decisions. In tal, emotional, relaGod’s Word, James tional, financial, vocational and 3:13-18 tells us, “Who is wise even spiritual prisons. More and understanding among you? often than not, these prisons Let them show it by their good are a direct result of choices we life, by deeds done in the huhave made. Many choices we mility that comes from wismake have positive outcomes dom. But if you harbor bitter while many have negative envy and selfish ambition in outcomes. As you and I both your hearts, do not boast about
it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.” This Fourth of July, do not confuse the freedom you have as an American with freedom that you can have in Jesus. Remember, our own decisions can create negative consequences that ultimately bind us, robbing us of true freedom. However, when we seek wisdom from
heaven like James writes, we not only experience freedom, but we also reap a harvest of righteousness. Freedom sounds sweet, but I believe that reaping a harvest of righteousness sounds even sweeter. Let’s all try moving forward from today making godly choices. In the long run, the true freedom that comes from God’s plan will definitely be something to celebrate! I pray that this Fourth of July will be a day filled with reminders of how much God loves you. I also pray that you will be reminded today about the sacrifices that so many men and women made on our behalf, so that we can experience freedom as Americans. God bless you all, and Happy Fourth of July!

Women of St. Matthew’s send care packages to local troops deployed overseas
Patsy Rountree (right) honored as NC ALA member of year.
Patsy Rountree honored as the NC ALA member of the year On Friday, Patsy Rountree was honored as the North Carolina Department of the American Legion Auxiliary (ALA) member of the year at their 2018 Convention held at the North Raleigh Hilton. Rountree was nominated by Warren F. Hoyle ALA Unit 82, Shelby, after being named their member of the year. In her nomination, she was recognized for service to the Unit, serving as Sergeant-at-Arms 2015-2016, as well as offering her talents in baking and crafting in support of various activities throughout the years. After teaching in the classroom for 21 years, Rountree finished her 30year career at Kings Mountain Schools serving as the Child Nutrition Director. She is eligible for American Legion Auxiliary membership through her husband, Joel Rountree, a retired Colonel with the
North Carolina Army National Guard. They have three grown children and five grandchildren. Rountree has a daughter who is a Senior member of Unit 82 and granddaughters who are Junior members of Unit 82. She is an active community servant, volunteering at the Kings Mountain National Military Park’s semi-annual opening of the Howser House, local nursing homes, and is a frequent visitor of the Kings Mountain Life Enrichment Center. Linda Quinlan, President of the Post 82 Auxiliary describes Rountree as
“a woman who is sincerely dedicated to the service of others, particularly veterans, those currently serving in the military, and children; a woman of great compassion. If we could clone a member, it would be Patsy Rountree!”
Summertime often signals different things for different people. For many of us, we spend our days filled with fun at the pool, cookouts, trips to the lake, and no school for the youngsters. But, for some, this isn’t the reality. In fact, for 158 of our Kings Mountain men and women, they’ll spend their summer deployed overseas. They’ll trade their days at the pool for long hours in intense conditions. Instead of a cookout surrounded by friends and family, they’ll tear open a prepared meal in a pouch known as an MRE. And, instead of spending the day at the lake, they will work tirelessly in countries where they know no one or nothing about that culture. In response to the great sacrifice of these men and women, the Sisters in Christ at St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church felt led to begin a campaign to raise money and supplies that our soldiers need. Judy Wilson, a life-long member of St. Matthew’s, and a resident of
Kings Mountain, has spearheaded the project and led the effort to begin the hard work of preparing care packages for the 158 troops of the 878th Engineer Company of the National Guard who have recently deployed. Judy has begun the hard work of gathering the needed supplies and raising money to send the packages. During this fourth of July, and all summer long, the congregation of St. Matthew’s will continue to gather supplies and prepare these care packages to send to our troops. Our goal is to send these packages by the end of July. This is where you can help. We are asking the residents of Kings Mountain to join with us as we gather these supplies and in raising money to send them overseas. If you can, we welcome your donation of supplies, prayers, and money. There is a list of supplies on the St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church website: http://www.stmatthewskm. com, or you can stop by the
church located at 201 N. Piedmont Ave. and view the list of needed supplies on the doors of the church. If you can’t bring supplies, please feel free to send a monetary donation or donate online via our Go Fund Me page. Your donation is tax-deductible and will be greatly appreciated. In fact, we could really use the monetary donations, because we can purchase supplies in bulk and it is costly to send the packages. Each package costs nearly $18.00 to send, so your monetary donation will greatly help this project. Please consider how you may be called to help these men and women who sacrifice so much to keep our country and community safe. As you enjoy your summer days, remember that these men and women are deployed for a minimum of nine months and could be asked to stay longer if their deployment is extended. The people of St. Matthew’s wish you a Happy Fourth of July!

CHILDREN
five years in daycare and then are raised essentially by the school? It’s a tough day for America’s families who are trying to financially survive. However, money, things and attainments never take the place of time with children and families. It’s easy to see this looking back. I’m glad there are Americans who have verbalized their pain concerning the importance of children and parents being together. It’s important. Maybe there will be some outrage down the road on the state of America’s families who enjoy the privileges daily afforded to our families but for different reasons don’t treat their children very well.

From Page 4A How much can we be expected to do for people showing up demanding entrance to America? What would you do for people showing up at your front door demanding lodging and meals and even health care? It’s hard for most people when family shows up unannounced. I found in interesting watching the outcry of demonstrators and different media personalities. I have wondered where are the daily cries over how America treats our children and unborn children? Right now while I am writing this there will be about 3000 legalized abortions in America. Add that number times 365 days in our country. There were 652, 639 legalized abortions in 2014 according for the Center for Disease Control. Seven thousand children are abandoned each year in the United States. China is said to have over twenty million orphans. How many babies and children spend their first

'Tis of Thee”. Artistic Director Caleb Sigmon welcomed the audience and his excitement could barely be contained. He concluded his comments saying, “Let’s do this!” And, with that, the fifth season of Liberty Mountain began with a bang! I won’t go into the performance itself, because I expect everyone reading this has already seen it. If you haven’t, you should. And, if you have, you should see it again. It is a wonderful drama that evolves and matures with every season. This year, particularly, the story of the Martin family struck me as more poignant than it did in years past. What I noticed most particularly this year with the set and lighting. With limited set pieces, the scenery is mostly projected onto the stage. I learned later that a new brighter projector brought the stage to life, drawing your eye to every corner of the performance area. I marveled at the creative use of screens in one scene, as the actors performed vi-
gnettes of the overmountain march. The use of projection also added depth the stage, making it appear more realistic. Particularly enjoyable for me was sitting in the center aisle when Continental Congress was convened. I felt as if I were in Philadelphia on July 4, 1776. During the intermission, many didn’t leave their seats preferring to converse with friends. I heard several conversations between patrons, some of whom had performed in the cast in years past. Some were discussing history or the interchangeability of the terms Whigs and Patriots. It was then that I realized that ‘Liberty Mountain’ is more than a drama about a time in history. It is an opportunity to teach the next generation about an event that turned the tide of the American Revolution itself. Yes, ‘Liberty Mountain’ shines brightly and every citizen of this community should take the time to see it. For many of us who had ancestors at the Battle of Kings Mountain, this is our story. And by supporting this play, we can help ensure that ‘Liberty Mountain’ will continue to shine brightly in the future.

Can a Debt Collector Take My Social Security Benefits? Dear Savvy Senior, Can my Social Security benefits be garnished if I have some outstanding debts? I just turned 62 and would like to start collecting my retirement benefits, but want to find this out before I apply. Worried Retiree Dear Worried, Whether your Social Security benefits are garnishable or not depends on whom you owe. Banks and other financial creditors, for example, can’t touch your Social Security checks. But if Uncle Sam is collecting on a debt, some of your benefits are fair game. Here’s what you should know. Creditor Protections If you have credit card debts, medical bills, unpaid personal loans or pay day loans, you’ll be happy to know that your Social Security benefits are safe from your creditors. Section 207 of the Social Security Act prohibits debt collectors or a bankruptcy court from dipping into your bank account to take Social Security money for purposes of paying off what you owe.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI), veterans benefits, federal employee and civil service retirement benefits, and benefits administered by the Railroad Retirement Board Administration can’t be touched either. But be aware that your creditors can still take legal action against you to recover what you owe them, and depending on your state’s law, they may be able to garnish your wages and tap into other allowable assets, if you have any. Government Garnishment If, however, you owe money to Uncle Sam, it’s a very different story. The federal government can garnish a portion of your Social Security benefits for repayment of several types of debts, including federal income taxes, federal student loans, state-ordered child support and alimony, nontax debt owed to other federal agencies, defaulted federal home loans and certain civil penalties. (If you receive SSI, those benefits cannot be garnished under any circumstance.) How much can actually be taken depends on the type of debt you owe. In
most situations, the government can pull 15 percent of your benefits to cover your debt, but under the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996, it must leave you at least $750 each month. That is, unless the levy is for federal income taxes. In that case, the government isn’t required to leave $750 behind. The other exception is for child support or alimony payments. Depending on your state laws, the court may be able to take half of your benefits or more to pay your obligations to your children or ex-spouse. If you think your Social Security benefits might be raided to pay overdue bills, you need to address the problem – don’t ignore it. Most government agencies are happy to work with you so long as you’re willing to work with them. The government typically sends several letters about a debt before it takes action. The final letter will inform you of the intent to levy Social Security payments, and after that, you have 30 days to contact the agency and work out a payment plan.
Get Help To get a handle on your debt problems, consider contacting a nonprofit financial counseling agency, which offers free and low-cost services on managing financial problems. To locate a credible agency in your area, use the National Foundation for Credit Counseling website at NFCC.org or call 800-388-2227. You also need to make sure you’re not missing out on any financial assistance programs. The National Council on Aging’s website (BenefitsCheckup.org) contains a database of more than 2,500 federal, state and local programs that can help seniors with prescription drug costs, health care, food, utilities, and other basic needs. The site will help you locate programs that you may be eligible for and will show you how to apply. 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.

Wilson on USA Baseball Collegiate National team, opens summer play today vs. Japan in Charlotte NC State sophomore shortstop Will Wilson of Kings Mountain has been named to the USA Baseball Collegiate National team, which will open its summer schedule Tuesday, July 3 at BB&T Park in Charlotte against the Japanese team. Wilson and teammate Patrick Bailey recently completed a tryout process and join the roster along with some of the collegiate greats in the U.S.
Wilson recently completed his second stellar season with the Wolfpack by making All-Atlantic Coast Conference for the second year in a row. He is a former four-year starter for the Kings Mountain Mountaineers. He was also All-American for the second year in a row. Wilson hit .307 for the Wolfpack this spring. He smashed 15 home runs and drove in 53 runs and was joined on the All-ACC
team by six of his teammates. Wilson became the first NC State player to be named ACC Player of the Week three times in a single season. He was named one of 35 semifinalists for the coveted Dick Howser Trophy, which is given annually to the best baseball player in the nation. Wilson was also named to the Brooks Wallace Award Watch List, which is presented to the nation’s
best shortstop. He was also named National Player of the Week twice. Bailey, a catcher from Greensboro, was named ACC Freshman of the Year, was on the ACC All-Freshman team and was a freshman All-American. He hit 13 home runs, the most ever by a Wolfpack freshman, and his four home runs against conference opponents led the ACC.
All-American shortstop Will Wilson of Kings Mountain and NC State and his USA Baseball Collegiate National teammates open play against Japan in Charlotte today.

State Fire Marshal Mike Causey urges firework safety as the holiday approaches everyone to leave the fireworks – even those that are legal in North Carolina – to the professionals.” According to the National Fire Protection Association, thousands of people, most often children and teens, are injured each year while using fireworks. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission’s latest figures, there were 11 deaths and an estimated 11,900 people who sustained injuries due to fireworks in 2015, the most recent data
Lackey wins two senior golf events Keith Lackey was the winner of last week’s Cleveland County Senior Golf Association tournaments at Cherokee National and Lincoln Country Club. At Lincolnton, Lackey took low gross with a 77. Allen Hall (89-25) was low net with a 64. Don Peeler was closest
to the pin on #17 and Doug Shuffler had the longest putt on #18. At Cherokee National, Lackey won with a 72. Mike Barus took low net with a 63 (76-13). Larry Rikard was closest to the pin on #2 and Dean Bowen sank the longest putt.
available. It shows injuries from sparklers, bottle rockets and small firecrackers accounted for 3,900 injuries requiring emergency room visits. A simple, handheld sparkler can burn at a temperature of 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit or more. To put that into perspective, water boils at 212 degrees, a cake bakes at 350 degrees and wood burns at 575 degrees. In addition, fireworks start an average of 18,500 fires per year and these fires cause an average of
$43 million in property damage. The NFPA offers the following fireworks safety tips: • Leave fireworks to the professionals: The best way to protect your family is to not use any fireworks at home. Instead, attend public fireworks displays and leave the lighting to the professionals. • If you plan to use fireworks, make sure they are legal in your area. • Be extra careful with sparklers: Little arms are too short to hold sparklers,

Expansion of early voting veto overridden by NC House Raleigh, N.C. – The state House of Representatives voted Wednesday to override Gov. Roy Cooper’s veto of legislation expanding the days, times, and locations counties can offer early voting in North Carolina. You may view on SpeakerMoore.com. Senate Bill 325 The Uniform & Expanded Early Voting Act would place early voting locations on a uniform schedule statewide of 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays, offering increased and consistent early voting hours during the week so North Carolinians have more opportunities to cast a ballot. The legislation requires all voting sites in a county be open uniformly during that county’s early voting hours to reduce confusion for voters about times and locations of early voting opportunities. It also adds an additional early voting day to provide 17 full days of early voting in North Carolina. For the 2018 general election, voters could cast early ballots between October 17 and November 2. On weekends, county board of elections can set hours for early voting locations provided they are open for the same hours uniformly throughout the county on Saturdays or Sundays. The legislation also requires county boards of elections to submit annual reports on voter list maintenance efforts.
