Here’s a list of upcoming meetings and events for area nonprofit community and gov-ernmental organizations:

by Leah Justice

The top stories in the Thermal Belt in 2010 were similar to those in the rest of the country: the weather, elections and the recession.

The Thermal Belt area experi-enced an exciting and unusual year in weather, with a major ice storm, several wind storms and more than average snowfall, including the first white Christmas since 1963.

The area was also greatly af-fected by the recession, with higher than normal unemployment rates that reached 10 percent. Organi-zations such as the Thermal Belt Outreach Ministry made headlines several times throughout the year, as they sought more funding to meet the exceptional rises in numbers of people seeking financial and food assistance.


Editor’s note: With another memorable year winding down, the Bulletin chose to reflect on those stories that kept the community talking. Over the next several issues, we’ll present highlights of those stories.January

• Upgrades to Tryon’s water plant were more than halfway complete. The town erected a new building for processing water.

The new building is one of many upgrades to the plant required be-cause the facility, which went online in 1988, was no longer going to meet updated state regulations. The upgrades will cost approximately $3 million. The upgrades were 99 percent complete in December.

• Restaurants and bars in North Carolina were forced to give up their smoking sections as of

midnight Jan. 2, when a statewide smoking ban became law.

• Tr y o n E l -ementary School students returned from Christmas break to new play-ground equipment,

thanks to funding from the Tryon Kiwanis Club, the Polk County Community Foundation, Tryon Elementary PTA, Carolina Foot-

On Sept. 15 members of the staff and board of directors of St. Luke’s Hospital visited the Tryon Kiwanis Club. Meshelle Colvin, new executive director of the St. Luke’s foundation, was introduced by Norm Powers, board president. A video of stories from patients at the hospital was shown, illustrating the care they had been given. Ken Shull, CEO, gave club members a report stating that over $5 million in community benefits was given by the hospital in 2009. Community benefits encompass such things as providing charity care for the uninsured and underinsured and offering vital healthcare and education programs for the community. Kathy Woodham and Jennifer Wilson of the public relations/marketing department also assisted in the presentation. Shown above (left to right) are Jennifer Wilson, David Little, Kathy Woodham, Meshelle Colvin, Norm Powers and Ken Shull. (photo submitted)

The 2010 local election topped the news for several months over the year. Ten candidates ran for the three open seats on the Polk County Board of Commissioners. The pri-mary narrowed the race to six can-didates (three Democrats and three Republicans), and two Unaffiliated candidates added their names to

the list for an eight-candidate race. The top winner this year was Ted Owens (R), with incumbent Ray Gasperson (D) and Tom Pack (R) also securing seats.

The sheriff race also had a few contestants, with a primary being held for Republicans. Donald Hill (D) won the sheriff election over Nathan Shields (R). Hill was ap-pointed sheriff in 2008.

Former Polk County Sheriff

Chris Abril continued to be in the news during 2010 after being ar-rested for driving while impaired in October, 2009. Abril, who resigned in 2008 prior to pleading guilty to felony solicitation to take indecent liberties with a minor, was convict-ed of driving while impaired while on supervised probation. Abril ap-pealed his DWI district court con-

The Jay Clark V murder case was also wrapped up this year. Ida Hayes Clark’s jail sentence was suspended and she was placed on probation for accessory after the fact of murder.

Other notable news in 2010 was the canceling and reorganization of the Blue Ridge Barbecue festival. The Foothills Chamber of Com-merce announced in January that it had canceled the annual event because profits were not enough for the tremendous effort and resources it takes to put on the event.

A public outcry over the can-celation ended with 75 residents and businesses each making $1,000 pledges to place in the festival’s rainy day fund. The festival, which is North Carolina's annual barbe-cue championship, was held in a slightly scaled down version.

Also locally noteworthy this year was Tryon's 125th anniver-sary. The town celebrated with a festival in early September and other events throughout the year.

In local government news this year, the Polk County Board of Commissioners completed reno-vations to a new adult day care center to be run by Rutherford Life Services. The county also began constructing a new department of social services building off Wolver-ine Trail in Mill Spring.

The building size and location

were topics of controversy through-out the year, especially during the elections. The new building will be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified.

Polk County and the towns of Columbus, Tryon and Saluda also agreed to once again hold joint meetings in an attempt to consoli-date some services. The main topic has been joining water forces by creating a joint water authority. Joint meetings several years ago on the same topic ceased after the county and towns could not come to an agreement. The next joint meeting is Jan. 11.

Chocolate Drop development was also in the news several times in 2010, especially following heavy spring rains. Erosion problems on the mountain caused the Town of Columbus to close a road because of safety concerns.

Seven lot owners sued the de-velopers, claiming they were sold property that wasn’t buildable. The State of North Carolina also sued developers for not correcting ero-sion violations.

The area also lost several no-table residents in 2010. The area mourned the passing of former Polk County commissioners Sue Cochran, Earl Foy and Bill McK-aig.

Former Columbus Town Man-ager Glenn Rhodes also passed away this year, as did several other well-known community members, including Tom Mosca and recently Chuck Ross, both of whom were both instrumental in the Tryon Riding and Hunt Club and Block House Steeplechase.

A gate blocked vehicles from entering the Chocolate Drop subdivision in Columbus in March, 2010. Several inches of mud washed into a low point of the road entering the subdivision, and a portion of a road was eroding along a steep slope farther in the subdivision. (photo by Chris Dailey)

Mr. and Mrs. Johnson didn’t like their house anymore;So they got a “For Sale” sign at the hardware store.The first couple looking said, “The kitchen’s too small.”So Craftsman Services came in to remodel and bump out a wall.The next couple looking said, “The bathrooms are old.”So Craftsman Services came in to help get it sold.

With sparkling new baths the Johnsons resumed;Their efforts to sell a house, seeming doomedTo hang 'round their necks like the old albatross;But they kept their resolve not to sell at a loss.

Then a third couple came to look at the place;But the entryway “lacked proportion and grace.”So Craftsman Services came to the rescue once moreWith a neat portico and a beautiful door.

Now people are always offering to buythe Johnson’s “new” home with offers sky high.But the Johnsons so love their house, now so nice; They’ve decided against selling at any price!

Leonard Rizzo

Receiving the greatest giftA few years ago I told the tale

of Allie, the Boxer I adopted from F.H.S.

Allie had been used as a teaser for fighting dogs and has the scars to prove it. At first she was a chal-lenge, wary of anything that moved and my three cats were my biggest concern.

At that time I still had Monty, my doggie angel, who along with Tony, my audacious tomcat, were the great teachers for her. Allie soon learned and has since become a sweet and loving addition to my furry family. Allie is now the heart and soul of my personal kids, as was Monty before her. I love all of them equally, but I’ll admit that I love Allie just a little more equally.

At her first annual check up, I told Dr. Maria she was between 4 and 5 years old. Maria disagreed explaining she was more likely

between 6 and 7. I jokingly scolded Maria and said, “You just stole two years from me.”

By this time I had lost Monty and had taken on Bruno as her companion.

Allie is now approximately 8 years old, has arthritis and lately has developed incontinence. The medicines she is on help greatly with both these problems and she is still an active and loving girl.

A few weeks ago while play-ing with Bruno and Pablo she fel l down in our driveway and was having

trouble getting up. We assumed it was her arthritis and gave her an anti-inflammatory pill and she was fine the rest of the day.

The next morning the boys dart-ed by her chasing some imaginary ghost they thought was invading my property. Allie rose from the couch

to join them and began wobbling and drooling from her mouth.

I thought she was having a sei-zure and as I held her in my arms, I whispered, “Poor baby, it’ll be alright,” while inside my heart was breaking. I then scooped her up in my arms and placed her in my car.

The trip to Landrum vet was a blur as I tearfully whispered as-surances to her. I brought her into Dr. Raines and explained what was going on.

“Please Donna, run whatever tests needed and let me know what’s going on.”

I then leaned over and kissed Allie, said a silent prayer and left. When I returned Donna’s face looked grim and my heart sank.

“It’s not good, Lennie” she said as she walked me toward her x-ray. “She’s severely anemic and her red blood cell count is way low.”

At the x-ray, Donna pointed out

allie (phoTo suBmiTTeD)

that Allie’s spleen was overly en-larged and there was a tumor. “As things are right now, she won’t last much longer,” Donna went on.

“What can we do?” I asked. “All her other organs seem fine

but we’ll have to take her spleen, the problem is she couldn’t survive the procedure without a transfusion.”

“Would that prolong her life with a reasonable amount of quality?” I asked.

“Barring unforeseen problems,” D o n n a a n -swered, “most definitely.”

“ O k a y let’s do it,” my hopes ris-ing a little. “I’ll go get Bruno, he’ll be happy to give blood for his sister.”

“One more thing,” Donna said pointing to the x-ray. “That white dot below her spine is a BB that she’s been hit with.”

The news struck my heart like a lead weight as two large tears

fell unobstructed from my eyes. With all that this poor girl has been through, she also had to endure this aimless abuse.

Poor Donna was fighting hard to control herself as I hugged her and asked her to do her best.

Two days later I went to visit Al-lie, who came through her operation beautifully. By the way, Bruno did his job great and was the hit of the vets office. What a ham!

Donna approached me with that wonderful smile she possesses.

“She’s a trooper Lennie, things are looking very good.” I wrapped my arms around her and gave her the biggest hug I could. “Thank you Donna, you just

gave me back my two years.” This made the poor Doc cry, I didn’t mean to do that, I was just so happy.

Allie is coming along beauti-fully, getting that Boxer spring and wiggle back in her step. We’re watching her closely but our hopes are high.

Merry Christmas everyone, I’d like to share with you my Christmas prayer:

“Heavenly Father, I know that Your Beloved Son was our great-est gift and You know through my prayers how grateful I am. This Christmas You’ve again heard my prayers and granted me more time with my precious Allie. I promise I will cherish each and every day You allow me to have with her.”

Thanks for listening.

Scherping and Miller visit Tryon Kiwanis Club to speak about China trip

On Wednesday, Sept. 29, Dave Scherping and Bill Miller from Polk County Schools Administration spoke to the Tryon Kiwanis Club about their visit to China.

Scherping and Miller were par-ticipants in a partnership between the Center for International Understand-ing at UNC Chapel Hill and the Col-lege Board. They recommended two books, “China in the 21st Century” and “The Post-American World,” as resources for understanding China.

As a result of their visit and the partnership, Polk County Schools was chosen to host a Chinese teacher, Fung Lay. She began teaching Oct. 11 and is spending time in the el-ementary schools telling students about Chinese culture.

Lay’s primary job is at Polk Middle School where a few students will learn some Mandarin language. Lay will also spend six weeks at a time with a large group of students

giving them exposure to culture, history and some Chinese.

A children’s book will be do-nated to a local school in honor of

Scherping, Miller and Lay.– article submitted

Lady Cards beat Chesnee to reach Border Shootout finalsA trio of Landrum seniors led

the charge for Landrum as the Car-dinals beat Chesnee 63-44 to reach the Battle at the Border Shootout finals on Wednesday night.

Chesnee had no answer for Lan-drum’s Jordan Jenkins. The senior center is aver-aging a double-double and she didn’t hinder that Wednesday night as she led her Lady Cardi-nals to victory.

The senior scored 10 points and dominated the paint with 11 rebounds and four blocks. She was on a mission.Right: Landrum senior ashley Hartsell brings the ball up the court on Wednesday night in the Battle of the Border shootout in Landrum. Hartsell was one of three seniors to score in double digits to lead Landrum to the 63-44 victory. Hartsell scored 15. (photo by Joey millwood)

“We were hot tonight. Defensively, we got after them.”

-- Landrum head coach Roy Parton

“I just wanted to get all the rebounds,” she said. “It really did (open up our perimeter shoot-ers).”

Those perimeter shooters were seniors Ashley Hartsell and Amber Whiteside. Hartsell chipped in 15

points and Whi-teside scored 18 points.

For the Cardi-nals, it may have been the best game they’ve played all season.

“We were hot tonight,” head coach Roy Parton said. “Defensively, we got after them.”

LHS loses to Riverside in 2nd round of Border Shootout

The Landrum boys’ basketball team felt the sting of disappoint-ment again on Wednesday in the second round of the Battle at the Border Shootout tournament of which they are the host.

The Cardinals lost to Riv-erside 71-60 in the consola-tion side of the brackets.

“I was im-pressed with o u r e f f o r t , ” Landrum coach Lyn Smith said. “We were in it till the last few minutes.”

The Cardinals were up 19-16 at the end of the first quarter before a push by the Warriors in the second quarter found the

Cardinals down one at the half. Landrum jumped back out front by the end of the third quar-

ter led by Mark Wilson who had eight points . Wilson finished the game as the leading scorer for the Cardi-nals with 15 points.

In the fourth quarter, how-ever, Riverside outscored the Landrum 24-12 en route to vic-tory. Landrum has hosted the Battle at the Border Shootout for ten years.

“I was impressed with our effort. We were in it till the last few minutes.”

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINAUTILITIES COMMISSION

RALEIGHDOCKET NO. E-100, SUB 128

BEFORE THE NORTH CAROLINA UTILITIES COMMISSION

IN THE MATTER OF INvESTIGATION OF INTEGRATED RESOURCE

PLANNING IN NORTH CAROLINA – 2010

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGNOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that

the North Carolina Utilities Commis-sion (Commission ) has scheduled a public hearing in conjunction with the Commission’s review and evaluation of Integrated Resource Planning (IRP) in North Carolina. The purpose of the review and evaluation is to ensure that each regulated electric utility operat-ing in North Carolina is developing reliable projections of the long range demands for electricity in its service area, and is developing a combina-tion of reliable resource options for meeting the anticipated demands in a cost-effective manner. IRP is intended to identify those electric resource op-tions which can be obtained at least cost to ratepayers in North Carolina consistent with adequate, reliable electric service. IRP considers conser-vation, efficiency, load management, and other demand-side program alter-natives in the selection of resource options. In addition, electric power suppliers are required to include their plans for meeting customer electric needs via renewable energy resources and energy efficiency programs by submitting a Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard compliance plan (REPS compliance plan) as part of the IRP filing.

During the public hearing to be held in this docket, the Commission will receive testimony from nonexpert public witnesses with respect to the most current IRPs (including REPS compliance plans) filed for 2010 by Carolina Power & Light Company d/b/a Progress Energy Carolinas, Inc.; Duke Energy Carolinas, LLC; Virginia Electric and Power Company d/b/a Dominion North Carolina Power; North Carolina Electric Membership Corporation, Piedmont EMC, Ruther-ford EMC, EnergyUnited EMC, and Haywood EMC. In addition, during the public hearing the Commission will receive testimony from nonexpert public witnesses with the respect to the REPS compliance plans filed by GreenCo Solutions, Inc., Halifax EMC, and EnergyUnited EMC. (GreenCo filed a consolidated REPS Compliance Plan on behalf of Albemarle EMC, Brunswick EMC, Cape Hatteras EMC, Carteret-Craven EMC, Central EMC, Edgecombe-Martin EMC, Four County EMC, French Broad EMC, Haywood

EMC, Jones-Onslow EMC, Lumbee River EMC, Pee Dee EMC, Piedmont EMC, Pitt & Greene EMC, Randolph EMC, Roanoke EMC, South River EMC, Surry-Yadkin EMC, Tideland EMC, Tri-County EMC, Union Power Cooperative, and Wake EMC.)

A night hearing for the convenience of public witnesses and solely for the purpose of taking nonexpert public witness testimony is hereby scheduled as follows:

Raleigh: 7 p.m., on Monday, Janu-ary 24, 2011, Commission Hearing Room 2115, Dobbs Building, 430 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina

Anyone wishing to review the IRPs and REPS compliance plans filed by the utilities may do so either at the Commission’s website, www.ncuc.net, by selecting the Docket Informa-tion tab and entering Docket No. E-100, Sub 128, or at the Office of the Chief Clerk of the Commission, Dobbs Building, 430 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina. Upon request, the Chief Clerk will place copies of the IRPs, compliance plans and any other documents filed in this proceeding in centrally-located public libraries where they may be copied without prohibition. Such a request may be made by writing to the Chief Clerk, North Carolina Utilities Com-mission, 4325 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-4325, by giving the name and address of the library to which the information is to be mailed.

Letter to the Editor

Scoops serves up community To the Editor:

This time of year seems to me to be for reflection, past and present.

Having moved here eleven years ago from a busy metrop-olis, on the West Coast, we treasure each day the rhythm of a small town.

My husband and I enjoy

the Tryon-Columbus area, because of our horses, and the desire to return to a simpler way of life. We have been extremely happy here with that decision. but what we had not expected, was the warmth and gracious acceptance of the people who live here.

Having raised four chil-dren in the 50s and even the 60s, when life everywhere was slower, and moral values were the basis on which to raise them, we are more than pleased to find that they are

pervasive here. Alongside our neighbors

and friends, our bossiness here also cherish and promote the small town ambiance. no more so than at Scoops Ice Cream Parlor in Columbus, on the West side of downtown on Highway 108.

Ken, his Dad, and the girls, always have a smile, and a warm greeting for all who come to enjoy the deli-cious Hershey Ice Cream. But every bit as important, are their contributions to the

community, and their desire to give the children a positive place to hang out.

If you are not aware, be sure to check out, Scoops Holiday Party, 6 to 9 PM on New Years Eve.

They are providing once again a return to old fashioned values, with their prices and their place, for all our children to be safe and happy.

Many thanks to them and all. Here’s to a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

— Dee Black

weight or exercise more. While they are important

goals (I still need to lose weight and exercise more) I’m going to set my sights higher this year.

For 2011 my resolution is going to be spending more time with my family and friends. As an old Girl Scout song says “make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold.”

There’s a lot of truth in that saying. I’d like to add that family

is platinum and I’m blessed to have a very lov-ing family.

I asked our editor, Saman-tha Hurst, for

some ideas about good resolu-tions for our readers.

She suggested resolutions to help the community, such as at-tending city council meetings to stay in the know, donating one hour a month to visit people at a nursing home or purchasing $5 of extra canned goods each time you make a grocery trip to give to a food bank.

So, what is your New Year’s resolution for 2011? Have you decided yet? Better hurry the clock is ticking.

Betty Ramsey is the Publisher of the Tryon Daily Bulletin. Her email address is [email protected]

Today is the last day of the year and the eve of a New Year.

The day so many of us find ourselves reflecting on the past year, remembering those special moments that still bring a smile to our faces and wondering what our New Year’s resolution should be this year.

As I reflect on the last year, there are many things that bring a smile to my face.

Some of those things are small and personal like my granddaugh-ter Mady’s first bir thday, the smel l o f the f r e sh t u rned earth after my husband, Gary, tilled the garden and the expectation we felt as we planted the seeds.

Some of them big like THE move to Tryon, saying goodbye to old friends and hello to new friends.

But as I look back over the year what comes to mind most is that I don’t know where the time has gone.

I have been so busy getting this done and that done that the year has literally flown by. Just yesterday it was New Years 2010 and I can’t begin to tell you what my resolution was.

I really can’t remember, can you?

Typically it would be to lose

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Gifts

Q. should I use my applicable exclusion ($1million) during my lifetime or upon my death?A. Many people have the misconception that it is best to “save” their applicable exclusion amount until their death.However, a more powerful leveraging technique is to utilize it during your lifetime. If you use your applicable exclusion amount by making lifetime gifts, the value of the gifts will appreciate in the recipients’ hands and not in your taxable estate. Between investment growth and inflation, the value of the gift should be substantial. For example, assuming the value of your gift will double every 7.2 years, if your life expectancy is 21 more years, a $1 million gift will be worth $8 million in the hands of the recipients at the end of the time. assuming a 55% tax rate, you would have to leave over $17.7 million to provide your heirs with the same amount.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Q. My husband and I have an estate of $3 million, but his share of our property is only $300,000. Is there any way to ensure my husband’s estate will use the applicable exclusion amount if he dies first and ensure that my property will go to my children after we are both gone?A. YesAs it currently stands if your husband dies before you do, only $300,000 will be in his estate and the benefit of the full exclusion amount ($1million) will be lost. By using a lifetime QTIP trust, you can make a tax-free gift to your husband but control the use of that gift. The value of the QTIP will be included in your husband’s estate and not yours. You can provide that when you are both gone, the property remaining in the QTIP trust is to go to your children. This technique accomplishes both goals of reducing estate taxes and ensuring that your children receive the benefit of your assets.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Lee C. Mulligan, Esq.Corporate Trustee

Q. What is a corporate trustee and why would I use one.A. A corporate trustee is a bank trust department or trust company. They can help you build, manage and protect the assets you put in your trust. reasons to use a corporate trustee: Professional asset management. they can manage assets in your trust now and after you die as you instruct, buying and selling assets, paying bills, filing tax returns maintaining accurate records, and distribution income and asses. Corporate trustees give their full attention to managing trust assets and because of their resources and experience they often do so with better results. Wealth protection: Corporate trustees are regulated by both state and federal agencies. Courts consider them “experts” and expect them to meet higher standards than non professionals.Corporate trustees don’t become ill, die, get divorces or get distracted by personal problems.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Q. How do I evaluate a corporate trustee?A. Talk to several. ask how long the trust department or company has been in business, how many trusts do they manage, minimum and average sizes of the trusts and how much experience the staff has. Compare investment returns and fees. ask to see samples of statements or reports and see if you understand them clearly. Facts are important, so are the people. Do they seem to care? Do they listen? How comfortable are you that they will be there for your family when needed. remember, a corporate trustee need not be the sole trustee. If you are concerned about the “human” touch, you can always appoint a co-trustee who is a family member or friend.Call (828) 696 1811 for info on this or other planning techniques.

Dear Savvy SeniorWhat kind of help is available

to seniors who are facing fore-closure? My 76-year-old mother has fallen behind on her house payments and is very concerned about losing her home.

Worried Daughter

Dear Worried,With more and more Ameri-

cans carrying mortgage debt into their retirement years, the fore-closure rates among financially strapped seniors has become a big problem. Here are some things you can do to help your mom.

Foreclosure help

If your mom has fallen behind on her mortgage payments, or if she has already received a let-ter or phone call about missed payments, your first step is to contact the lender immediately to explain her situation and see if she can work out a payment plan.

Be prepared to provide her fi-nancial information, such as her monthly income and expenses.

You also need to talk to a foreclosure avoidance coun-selor.

These are HUD-approved, trained counselors that provide free advice and will help you and your mom understand the law and her options, and organize her finances. They can also repre-sent her in negotiations with her lender if you need them to.

To find a government-ap-proved housing counseling agen-cy in your area, visit findafore-closurecounselor.org, or call the Homeownership Preservation Foundation’s HOPE Hotline at 888-995-4673.

Another helpful resource you should know about is the Mak-ing Home Affordable program. Created by the Obama Admin-istration in 2009, this program offers struggling homeowners the opportunity to modify or refinance their mortgage to make

their monthly payments more affordable.

It also includes the Home Affordable Foreclosure Alterna-tives Program for those who are interested in a short sale or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. To learn more about these programs and their eligibility requirements see makinghomeaffordable.gov.

Consider a Reverse Mortgage

If your mom has some equity built up in her house, another option worth considering is a reverse mortgage.

This lets seniors (age 62 and older) borrow money against their home, which can be used to eliminate their mortgage pay-ments, and it doesn’t have to be paid back as long as they live there.

Reverse mortgages have also gotten better in recent months as many lenders have reduced or waived up-front origination or servicing fees making them a much better deal for borrowers.

But, be aware that reverse mortgages are complex and they aren’t right for everyone.

To learn more, or to contact a reverse mortgage counselor visit hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/hecm/hecmhome.cfm or call 800-569-4287.

Watch for scamsYou and your mom also need

to be aware of the many foreclo-sure and loan modification scams that are out there today.

These are con-artists that reach out to foreclosure victims via letter, phone call or email, or they may advertise their services on television, radio or in the newspaper, claiming they can stop your mom’s foreclosure or can negotiate a loan modifica-tion for her – if she pays them a fee first.

Or, they may try to get her to sign documents for a rescue loan that actually surrenders the title of her house. Never sign anything or hand over any money unless you run it by your HUD counselor first. You can learn more about foreclosure scams at loanscamalert.org.

Savvy Tip: Make sure your mom is not missing out on any financial assistance programs. The National Council on Aging’s benefitscheckup.org website contains a database of more than 2,000 federal, state and local programs that can help seniors in need.

The site will help you locate programs that your mom 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 www.savvysenior.org. Jim Miller is a regular contributor to the NBC Today Show and author of “The Savvy Senior” book.
