Cleveland County officially became home to one of the cleanest and most efficient power plants in the nation Tuesday, as NTE Energy’s Kings Mountain Energy Center (KMEC) formally began operations. Officials from NTE Energy joined with city, county, and state leaders Tuesday to cut the ribbon on the $500 million facility. The 475 MW natural gas-fired plant is providing clean energy to more than 400,000 homes through long-term agreements with nine municipalities in the Carolinas. “We are extremely proud of this milestone and offer our thanks and congratulations to everyone who had a hand in bringing this state-of-the-art facility to completion,” NTE Energy CEO Seth Shortlidge said. “We have enjoyed building long-lasting relationships with the City of Kings Mountain and our customers as we work to bring significant power cost savings and economic development opportunities to the Carolinas.” Mayor Scott Neisler com-

Kings visit Reagan Library By Loretta Cozart Earlier this month, Noah King, his father Wayne, and grandfather Joe visited the Ronald Reagan Library in Simi Valley, CA as the guests of Michael Reagan. Noah’s father is Representative Mark Meadows’
Deputy Chief of Staff and he recently had opportunity to speak to Reagan. According to Wayne King, “During that conversation, Reagan invited Noah for a visit, so he could introduce him to President Ronald Reagan. President Reagan died in 2004, but Michael still loves to teach people about his father’s life. “The tour was unreal,” King said. “He took Noah See KINGS, Page 7A
Shelby Amateur Radio Club (SARC) will host its 62nd Annual Shelby Hamfest this Labor Day weekend, August 31 through September 2 at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds. Shelby Amateur Radio Club began hosting this event in 1957. Shelby Hamfest is an event where Amateur Radio vendors and manufacturers set up to show their latest products. There is also a flea market for folks to sell their used equipment, antique radios, crafts, etc. Campers begin arriving a week ahead of time to visit and fellowship with each other. The first Hamfest was held at Brackett’s Cedar Park in 1957 with about 300 in attendance and over the years it outgrew the park moving to the Cleveland County Fairgrounds in
1979. In the mid 1990’s the attendance had grown into the 10,000s. In 2008, the Hamfest moved temporarily to Dallas Park in Dallas, NC and returned home to the Cleveland County Fairgrounds in 2013. While attendance has dropped in recent years, the attendance is still considered one of the largest hamfest on the east coast and is the largest in the ARRL Roanoke Division (North & South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia). Some of the proceeds from the Hamfest go towards maintenance and upkeep of the club’s 6 repeaters. These repeaters are available for service to the Cleveland County Emergency Management and other served agencies See HAMFEST, Page 8A

Austin Christopher Chowdhury
Remembering Austin By Loretta Cozart On June 9, 2017, Tammy and Nazural Chowdhury faced the unimaginable. Their son, Austin, had died of a drug overdose at their home during the night. Less than a month before, on Mother’s Day, Austin earned his master’s degree in public policy and urban planning from UNC Chapel Hill. Three days after his death, Austin’s diploma arrived. According to Austin’s father, they discovered through phone records that Austin had drugs delivered to their home the day he died. What Austin thought was heroin was nearly 100% fentanyl, a lethal dose. “When he took it, he was gone,” Nazural said.
But, Austin’s addiction didn’t start at the university, it began after a dental procedure when he was just 16 years-old. “The doctor prescribed hydrocodone for pain and he took it for a few days until he felt better,” Nazural said. “His mother put the pills in the medicine cabinet, but a few months later she discovered the bottle in Austin’s room. When confronted, he admitted he was ‘experimenting’ and that it was nothing more. They talked about it and she flushed the pills and thought the matter was settled. The Chowdhury’s have since learned that some brains are wired differently and can almost instantly become addicted to opioids. See AUSTIN, Page 7A

Executive Director of Children’s Homes announces retirement Margie Christopher, the only Executive Director the Children’s Homes of Cleveland County has ever had, has announced her retirement. Christopher plans to retire sometime after the completion of CHCC’s new facility, currently under construction. A Cleveland County native, Christopher began working with the Children’s Homes in December of 1987, before the “Children’s Homes” even existed. At that time, she worked with one houseparent operating an Emergency Shelter, first opened in 1969. She played an integral part in the construction of the James Home in 1989 and Aaron’s House in 1990. In 1991, James Home and Aaron House merged to form Children’s Homes of Cleveland County with Christopher as its Executive Director. In the late 1990s, Christopher helped CHCC diversify by expanding services beyond residential with the addition of Social Services to Families and Supervised Visitation. The agency has continued to grow by adding more services for the benefit of children. In 2005, adoption services were added and outpatient therapy was added in 2007. In 2003, the agency sought accreditation by the Council on Accreditation. Accreditation is proof of quality and CHCC was the smallest agency in the country to be accredited at that time. A dream of Christopher’s for many years has been the addition of an Independent Living Program, which will
Margie Christopher include transitional living apartments for youth that are aging out of the foster care system. The CHCC Board approved the concept and embarked on a capital campaign in 2016. The facility, which includes CHCC offices, is expected to be complete in November of this year. Kathy Wilson, who has served more than 20 years on the CHCC Board and completed three terms as Board President cannot say enough about Christopher’s contribution. She says, “Margie’s compassion for children, her insistence on excellence, and her vision for what is possible has changed Children’s Homes from a struggling foster care home to a multi-dimensional, nationally-recognized model of caring for children. It is a unique privilege to be associated with her in this work.” Reflecting on her time at CHCC, Christopher says, “In 1987 I was hired to do a job which quickly became my passion. I am very grateful for a supportive board of directors, a generous community, and dedicated co-workers; however, my
real inspiration comes from the resiliency of the young people that we serve every day. They have suffered in ways we will never understand and I believe they deserve every opportunity we can provide for them to be successful.” Christopher is involved in the national childcare community of as well as the local community. She is a peer reviewer for the Council on Accreditation, a member of Shelby Rotary Club, Child Protection Team, Child Fatality Team, Juvenile Crime Prevention Council, Alliance for Health, and Double Shoals Baptist Church, and is a Paul Harris Fellow. She is married to Stephen, and has one grown daughter, Elizabeth Sibley. CHCC, now with 24 employees, is currently searching for Christopher’s replacement. According to Justin Merritt, current Board Chair and Co-Chair of the CHCC Right of Passage capital campaign, “Margie Christopher has done a remarkable job building CHCC into a highly respected, financially stable, quality agency. While she cannot be replaced, she will be leaving CHCC in excellent shape for the next Executive Director. I feel truly privileged to have had the opportunity to serve this agency with Margie and wish her all the best in her retirement.”

TODAY’S QUOTE:
The education of a man is never completed until he dies. –Robert E. Lee
Pieces of Kings Mountain History By Loretta Husky Cozart
In 1978, just before the end of the school year, Gary StewCOZART art wrote the following article about a prank at KMSHS as only he could: “Who Was Masked Rider? “Return with us to those thrilling moments of last Thursday. From out of the bus parking lot comes the guttural sound of a Kawasaki. The Masked Rider rides again… “It was like a scene out of ‘Smokey and The Bandit’ but it really happened at Kings Mountain Senior High last Thursday. “According to the numerous witnesses the incident took place about 8:35 am, shortly after school convened.
An unidentified youth decided to let the good times roll as he rode his Kawasaki through the hallowed halls of KMSHS. “Later in an assembly program, Principal Forrest Wheeler referred to the youth as “The masked rider.” “The youth wore a white crash helmet with goggles over a face mask, a green shirt jacket, dark pants and black riding boots. He gunned his bike out of the bus parking lot, climbed two flights of stairs, roared down the halls and out another door to disappear in a cloud of dust. “The students thought it was hilarious. “The teachers didn’t. The Masked Rider had forgotten to register at the office. “Joel Rountree, Bud Bumgardner, and Dean Westmoreland quickly went into a
huddle while the masked rider cut wheelies in the hallway. They formed a vigilante committee and set out on shank’s mare to run the masked man down and bring him to justice. But, he got away. “It just goes to show you that you can always tell when the end of school is near.” This prank occurred during my senior year and word spread through the student body faster than wildfire that one of our classmates was, in fact, “the masked rider.” Today, the story has gone down in KMHS history. Ten years ago, a photograph was shared of “the masked rider” to add to our class website. The image was fuzzy, but real. While hard to see, it was Randy Hord who drove his motorcycle up the steps from the bus lot, though the
Randy Hord commons area, past the cafeteria, gym, and band room. He paused only for a moment for this photo before racing off into school history. You might wonder why it took me this long to share
this story. Since many of our teachers have access to our class website, most already know the rider’s identity. And, last I checked, the Statute of Limitations has finally run out. Ride on, Randy, ride on.
Labor Day – Deal with the stuff

Letter To Editor
St. Matthew’s completes project for National Guard We did it! St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church, and the generous people of Kings Mountain, were able to complete the Care Packages Project for the deployed men and women of the Army National Guard unit who are deployed from the Kings Mountain and Forest City areas. The congregation received a letter from SFK Kim Brooks with the 878th Engineer Company of the National Guard, wherein she thanked everyone involved with the project. Additionally, she sent us pictures of the soldiers receiving their packages. They were delighted
to receive the packages, and having something from home was reassuring that they are thought about and looked after. As a member of the community of Kings Mountain, St. Matthew’s Lutheran Church again thanks everyone who participated or contributed to the project. We continue to pray for our deployed men and women, and we wish them a safe and quick return home.
Labor Day Weekend gives Americans across the country a three-day weekend to rest, Glenn Mollette travel and Guest Editorial celebrate our freedom to labor. Our jobs increased by two million people in 2017 and have continued to climb in 2018. Hourly wages have seen gains and the stock market has seen 20 months of phenomenal growth. Not everyone will travel on Labor Day and I would like to suggest an activity of labor that will be mentally good for you and your entire family: clean out your closet, basement, attic and garage. For years Americans cram “stuff” into closets, basements, attics and garages. After all of these are filled to capacity we build storage barns in our yards. Next, we rent storage units to store more stuff. Have you noticed how many storage units are being built almost everywhere? They are a big business. People that own storage units make big money because there is such a demand for them. The richest man in Kentucky is in
the storage space business. We are talking about a state that has been rich in coal, natural gas and bourbon whiskey. I inherited my mom and dad’s old house. It was my home growing up and it has been a delight. However, after 11 years I’m still throwing stuff away. My family took what they wanted years ago, and a lot of clothes and things were given away or divided up but still yet there were lots of things that mom, and dad in particular had stored up over the years. My wife’s parents recently passed and left a house of four bedrooms, and a basement and garage filled with 76 years of “stuff.” We gave away, had yard sales, divided and divided among family and gave away more and literally had to throw a lot of things in the trash. Emptying a house of an entire life of collected items is hard work but emotionally draining. Every item has memories and it’s tough to just throw it away. Why do we collect and store so much “stuff?” Most of it is socked away in a closet or space and hardly used. Why do we do this? Because we think our children or grandchildren will want it? It’s amazing See LABOR DAY, Page 7A

■ MEDITATION
What the World Needs Most Over the past several weeks I have addressed such topics as patience, forgiveness, and kindness. These are certainly great Pastor Ron Caulder Eastside Baptist Church qualities to KM Ministerial have. As I Association, President close out our devotions for August, I want to share with you the greatest of our qualities—love. We certainly need to have love toward one another today. However, this has been a need throughout the history of man. Permit to go into
the music vault of the 60’s again. Jackie DeShannon’s hit “What the World Needs Now.” This song was a number 1 hit in 1965 in the midst of the Vietnam War and as racial tensions were at a boiling point. I remember those days. Love was something we needed then and certainly something needed now and always! The noted lyrics of the song still ring in my ears: “What the world needs now Is love, sweet love It’s the only thing That there is too little of What the world needs now Is love, sweet love Not just for some But for everyone” Throughout the Bible we read
about love…the love of God for us and the love that we are to have toward one another. The apostle Paul often wrote about love in his letters to the churches in his day. None is more notable than what we read in First Corinthians chapter 13 which is often referred to as the “love chapter” in the Bible. He begins this chapter in the following words: “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I
give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.” (NIV). In this passage, the apostle Paul is talking about agape kind of love. This kind of love is a commitment of the will to cherish and uphold another person. This is the word that is used to describe the love of God. It is a word that is addressed to the will. It is a decision that you make and a commitment to treat another person with concern, with care, with thoughtfulness, and to work for his or her best interests. This is what love is. This is what Paul is talking about in this Corinthian passage. This kind of love, however, is possible only to those who first love God Who is the Source of love. The apostle John gives us
the simplest, yet most precise understanding of who God is…. “….God is love.” (I John 4:8). In Matthew 22, Jesus presents His listeners to two great commandments. The first is to love the Lord with all your heart. The second is to love your neighbor as yourself (vv. 37-39). It is impossible to love our neighbor as ourselves if we don’t have love for God. Paul informs us in Romans 5:5 that “the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit.” When you love God your capacity to love other people is awakened. God alone can give you this kind of love. I pray that the gift of love will be made manifest in your life today.

Beauty for Ashes is an event for all women, college age and up. As women, we tend to walk in the days of our past and let them define us. We carry our baggage like it’s a trophy that we should be proud of. But the truth is, we aren’t. Most of the time, we beat ourselves up with shame and regret. We let our past weight us down so much that it’s hard to move forward. This will be a night of worship, story-telling, en-
couragement, door prizes, cupcakes and more, where we can join together and learn ways to move forward in our callings. We hope you’ll join us and surrender those things you’ve had a hard time laying down. Saturday, September 22, 2018 What: Engage Service “Beauty For Ashes” When: 5:00-8:00 pm, September 22 Where: First Wesleyan Church, 505 North Piedmont Avenue, Kings Mountain, NC

yard sale. Whatever is left, you will know more about what it is and where to find it. Later, your children will be able to rest on Labor Day and not spend their weekend cleaning out all your old stuff. There is something really nice about having a closet where you can really see and know what is in that closet. Or a garage or attic where most of it has been cleaned out and organized. When you get it done sit back and give thanks for the things you have and enjoy now.
From Page 4A how very little of our things they want. Some people do of course but most is thrown, or given, away than handed down; used by future generations. Do yourself and your family a favor. Start cleaning out your storage spaces now and give it away yourself. You’ll know where it’s going. Do your giving while you are living then you know where it’s going. Haul the junk to the dump.

Hydrocodone taken in normal doses works as it should. However, in unregulated doses, it creates feelings of euphoria and peace. Once a person becomes addicted, they lose the ability to feel happy and can only feel normal when taking the drug. More recently, opioids have come under greater scrutiny, so doctors are careful in prescribing. Even if prescribed, hydrocodone now costs $80 per dose. In the past, it cost only $10. So, addicts turn to heroin purchased off the street to feel normal. Like hydrocodone, fentanyl is a synthetic opioid akin to morphine, but it is 50 to 100 times more powerful. According to Austin’s mother, Tammy, “We are still learning how the brain works, especially in children. In a young person 12 – 20 years-old, drugs strongly impact the brain. The brain remembers that euphoria and wants it again. It becomes an obsession. If the addicted person doesn’t get what the brain wants, it goes into a depression.” Despite all they have learned about their son’s drug addiction, it doesn’t change the fact that Austin is gone.

August 31st is International Overdose Awareness Day and the Chowdhury’s are sponsoring a gathering at Floyd & Blackie’s at 137 8th Ave in Cramerton at 7:30 p.m. This will be a Gathering of Community in remembrance of loved ones lost to overdose. They ask that those who attend to bring a picture or symbol of remembrance and a candle. They will have a small memorial set up. There will also be Naloxone / Narcan training.

Remove the stigma. Because of the loss of a loved one, or that a person’s kid or family member is still doing drugs, they don’t want to talk about it. We are doing this because we NEED to talk about it. Folks need to come forward, so they know they are not alone. We are all
suffering. We are all going through it and, we are not alone,” he said. “We must tell people not to judge, we must treat this like any other disease.

KINGS From Page 1A though the library and told him all about his dad. He got down on Noah’s level and showed him different things throughout the library. The whole tour lasted a couple hours and he shared ‘behind the scenes’ stories that the docents don’t know about. “Michael spoke to Noah about growing-up with famous parents and what it was like to have Secret Service protection all the time. Michael didn’t really like it and came to resent it during his teen years. “Near the end of the tour, we visited President Ronald Reagans gravesite. It was an emotional moment for Michael,” Wayne said. “But, this visit brought everything full-circle for me. Years ago, Sue Myrick asked me to attend on her behalf when members of Congress honored President Ronald Reagan, while he lay in state in the Capitol rotunda. On this trip to the Reagan Library, I was able to pay my respects again, but this time with my son and my father.” What did nine-year-old Noah think of the visit? “Michael was very nice. He told me some interesting things. When President Reagan was a boy, he kept his money in the fireplace. And, when he was President, he had a plaque on his desk that read, ‘It Can Be Done.’ It was his motto. We visited Reagan’s plane and it had different offices in it for people to work,” he said. Noah King is a fourth grader at North Elementary School. “The most interesting thing I learned is that when President Reagan was in office, the party’s color was blue. After his term, the party’s color switched to red,” Noah shared. When discussing his visit with Noah, Michael Reagan commented, “I love to walk with young people and introduce them to my father. Today’s generation only knows what they read about Ronald Reagan in history books. I enjoy tak-

He didn’t care who got the credit for doing something, as long at the desired outcome was achieved. He was willing to share the credit to do what was right for the people. That is what I want the world to remember about my dad,” Reagan said. “My dad taught me lots of valuable lessons. I was adopted and used to ride with dad out to the ranch. On the way, we would sing songs to pass the time. He knew the song for every branch of the military, so we often sang those.” “Once I asked for a bigger allowance. I got a dollar a week and dad explained that he had to take care of me and my mother and that taxes took a big portion of his pay,” he said. “He told me all the different things that were deducted, which took about ninety percent of his earnings. By the end of the conversation, I offered to give him half of my allowance back… he needed it more than me. But, he declined and said that he could afford a dollar.” When asked about the party colors story, Michael Reagan said, “Yes, that is correct. Noah is a smart young man. I’m glad he

Photos provided took the time to share that story with you.” If you’d like to read more of Michael Reagan’s stories about his dad, he has compiled a book, “Lessons My Father Taught Me: The Strength, Integrity, and Faith of Ronald Reagan” available online. While we can’t all visit the Ronald Reagan Library and Museum, we can learn more about President Reagan’s life and philosophy.
Michael Reagan loves introducing people to his father and he visits the library frequently. It is appropriate then that Noah, Wayne, and Joe King made this trip to the President Ronald Reagan Library as a family. Together, they will cherish these memories for generations to come and pass them down from father to son.

Mountaineers face big test at Roberson Things will get a lot tougher for Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers Friday when they travel up the mountain to take on a very dangerous TC Roberson team. Don’t let TCR’s 0-2 record fool you. Those two losses were to mountain power Watauga and Cleveland County power Crest, and the Rams have one of the best passing quarterbacks in the state in 6-3 senior Ty Gossett who passed for 196 yards against the Mountaineers last year. They return a host of other starters from last year’s team, including wide receivers Kobe Miles and Shak Hill who teamed up with Gossett to score all three of the Rams’ touchdowns in last year’s 35-21 loss to the Mountaineers at Gamble Stadium. Those two are also weapons in the Rams’ defensive backfield with Miles at corner and Hill at free safety. “They’ve got pretty much their typical team,” noted Mountaineer head
coach Greg Lloyd. “They have a lot of size. They’ve struggled a little bit but they’ve got a very tough schedule. “Their quarterback is very big and mobile and he will spread you out and throw from sideline to sideline. He puts a lot of pressure on your corners. “Defensively, they run a 3-3 stack and blitz about every other play. They play a lot of man to man coverage. They are a very dangerous team and they have a lot of tradition. “We will be playing on turf for our only time this year,” he added. “This is going to be a good test for us.” This is the first of three tough non-conference games to prepare the Mountaineers for the upcoming Big South 3A Conference campaign. The Mountaineers will round out their non-conference schedule the following two Fridays against state powers Cuthbertson here, and Shelby on the road.
KMHS spikers entered BSC play with 6-0 mark Kings Mountain High’s varsity volleyball team defeated Shelby and East Gaston last week to remain undefeated heading into its Big South 3A opener Tuesday against Stuart Cramer. The Lady Mountaineers swept Shelby 3-0 and 2-0 Tuesday and split with East Gaston Thursday with the varsity winning 3-2 and the JVs losing 2-0. The varsity carried a 6-0 record and the JVs were 4-2 heading into yesterday’s matches. The varsity started and finished strong against Shelby, winning 25-8, 25-23 and 25-10. Kyann Crocker and Lindsey Deaver played well behind the service line and on defense. Abbie Harris had eight service points and eight kills, Kylie Bearfield nine service points, five kills and a block, and Makena Deaton 10 kills, five service points and a block.
The JVs won 25-23, 2517. Rylie Carroll and Mackenzie Dameron had three kills each and Lily Gold and Mary Bearfield each had eight service points. Rachel Johnson was strong on defense. Against East Gaston, the Lady Mountaineers won 23-25, 25-19, 20-25, 25-18 and 15-11. Deaton stood out with her overall offense and five service points. Lindsey Deaver had seven service points and played strong defense. Kyann Crocker also had a solid defensive effort and had 17 service points. Kylie Bearfield contributed 20 service points. East Gaston’s JVs prevailed 25-21, 26-24. Lily Gold and Rachel Johnson led the Lady Mountaineers with 10 and seven service points, respectively.

Mountaineers roll 42-6 in opener with Spartans Kings Mountain’s Mountaineers scored on six of their seven first half possessions and rolled over South Caldwell 42-6 in their season opener Friday night at John Gamble Stadium. The Mountaineers clicked in all phases of their game, rolling up over 400 yards total offense while holding the Spartans to minus seven yards on the ground and only two of eight pass completions and one first down. South Caldwell’s only touchdown came late in the game when a high snap over the KM punter’s head gave them possession at the KM 22. With the Mountaineers’ second unit on the field, Spartan quarterback Avery Raynor was able to find wide receiver Spencer Piercy alone in the back corner of the end zone for a touchdown. Kings Mountain’s offense operated by committee with eight players sharing the rushing duties for 175 yards, and senior quarterback Kaylon Wade hitting 10 of 13 passes for 255 more. Wade and his receivers had a field day. Wade threw two touchdown passes to Chris Brittain and one each to Kobe Paysour and Holden Turner. Wade and Brittain each scored a TD on runs. There was really only one time-consuming drive, and that was following the opening kickoff when the Mountaineers took almost five minutes to go 72 yards to score on a 15-yard jet sweep by Brittain. Along the way the Mountaineers were hampered by

However, the Spartans were offside on the play, giving the Mountaineers a first down at the South Caldwell 41. Penalties pushed them back to the 48. After a 29-yard run by Ricaylen Mack, which ended with him being helped off the field due to injury, Brittain swept left end for a 15yard touchdown and Austin Browning added the PAT for a 7-0 lead. Kings Mountain’s defense played lights out from the get-go, holding the Spartans to minus 21 yards and zero first downs in the first half. By that time the Mountaineers had a 42-0 lead, which put the running clock mercy rule into effect for the entire second half.
Aided by a 15-yard penalty, the Spartans’ defense was able to hold the Mountaineers to three and out on their second possession, but the home team scored in rapid fashion on its final five second quarter possessions to quickly turn the game into a rout. Brittain took a quick screen from Wade and rambled 25 yards to put KM up 14-0 on the first play of the second quarter. On their next possession, Wade threw a 54-yard pass to Paysour, and then Wade went off the right side behind a block by Nathan Bess to make it 21-0. Joe Ruffalo’s tackle on a third and nine forced a Spartan punt from their own 20. A 17-yard jaunt by freshman running back Marquis Adams set up a quick out
pass from Wade to Paysour, and he took it 38 yards for a 28-0 lead. Holden Turner took a pass across the middle, split two Spartan defenders and broke three tackles inside the five-yard line to complete a 52-yard catch and run and put the Mountaineers up 350. A third down sack by Day Day Wilson forced yet another South Caldwell three and out, and KM took possession at its own 30 yard line with 2:33 remaining in the half. Receptions of 26 yards by Brittain and 16 by Paysour along with a 15yard gain by Adams set up a 13-yard Wade to Brittain pass to complete the KM scoring with 17.7 seconds left in the half. “I think everything went See MOUNTAINEERS, Page 2B

The Mountaineers play their first home game Thursday at 7 p.m. against the TC Roberson Rams. Several Mountaineers got into the scoring act in last week’s victory. Mark Thomasson’s five-yard touchdown run gave the Mountaineers an early 6-0 lead and Rashaard Brooks scored on a 48-yard pass from quarterback Blake Emory to run the score to 12-0 at the half.

Financial Aid for Family Caregivers Dear Savvy Senior, Do you know of any resources that help family caregivers monetarily? I have to miss a lot of work to take care of my elderly mother and it’s financially stressing me. Stretched Thin Dear Stretched, Caring for an elder parent can be challenging in many ways, but it can be especially difficult financially if you have to miss work or quit your job to provide care. Fortunately, there are a number of government programs, tax breaks, and other tips that may be able to help you monetarily while you care for your mother. Here are some options to explore. State assistance: Most states have programs that help low-income seniors pay for in-home care services, including paying family members for care. These programs – which go by various names like “cash and counseling” or “consumer-directed”– vary greatly depending on where you live and, in some states, on whether your mom is on Medicaid. To find out what’s available in your state, contact your local Medicaid office.
Veterans benefits: Veterans who need assistance with daily living activities can enroll in the Veteran-Directed Care program. This program, available through VA Medical Centers in 40 states, as well as in Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, provides as much as $2,000 a month, which can be used to pay family members for home care. Visit the “Home and Community Based Services” section at VA.gov/geriatrics for information. Also available to wartime veterans and their surviving spouses is a benefit called Aid and Attendance, which helps pay for in-home care, as well as assisted living and nursing home care. This benefit can also be used to pay family caregivers. To be eligible your mother must need assistance with daily living activities like bathing, dressing or going to the bathroom. And, her annual income must be under $14,133 as a surviving spouse or $21,962 for a single veteran, after medical expenses. Her assets must also be less than $80,000 excluding her home and car. To learn more, go to Vets.gov/pension.
Tax breaks: If you pay at least half of your mom’s yearly expenses, and her gross income is below $4,050 (in 2017) not counting her Social Security or disability, you can claim her as a dependent on your taxes and get a $500 tax credit. For more information, go to IRS. gov/help/ita and click on “Whom May I Claim as a Dependent?” If you can’t claim her as a dependent, you may still be able to get a tax break if you’re paying more than half her living expenses including medical and long-term care costs, and they exceed 7.5 percent of your adjusted gross income. You can include your own medical expenses in calculating the total. See IRS publication 502, Medical and Dental Expenses (IRS.gov/pub/irs-pdf/ p502.pdf) for details. Long-term care insurance: If your mother has long-term care insurance, check whether it covers in-home care. Some policies permit family members to be paid, although they may exclude people who live in the same household. Paid caregiver leave: A small but growing number of companies offer paid
caregiving leave as a way to recruit and retain their workforce. Additionally, some states provide caregiver benefits or paid leave to take care of ailing family members. Check with your employer to see what, if any, benefits are available to you. Family funds: If your mother has some savings or other assets, discuss the possibility of her paying you for the care you provide. If she agrees, consult with an elder law attorney about drafting a short-written contract that details the terms of the work and payment arrangements, so everyone involved knows what to expect. You should also check BenefitsCheckup.org, a free, confidential Web tool that can help you search for financial assistance programs that your mom or you may be eligible for. 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.
