False
Payments
Recovered
Raleigh — More than
$333,000 was recovered dur-
ing the third quarter of 1987
when 183 people were con-
victed of filing false
unemployment insurance
claims with the Employment
Security Commission of
North Carolina (ESC).
In July, 41 people were
tried and 40 were convicted of
unemployment insurance
fraud. During August, 82 peo-
ple were tried and convicted,
and in September, 61 were
tried and convicted.
During the same period
last year more than $255,651
was recovered and 213 people
were convicted of filing false
unemployment insurance
claims.
Those convicted of filing
fraudulent claims, a misde-
meanor, could receive up to
two years of imprisonment
plus a $1,000 fine for each
week of benefits for which
false claims are filed. ‘This
means a person who files
false claims for eight weeks
could be sentenced to as
much as 16 years of imprison-
ment and fined $8,000,”’ said
John Lynch, ESC’s chief
fraud investigator.
Lynch said the majority of
false claims fall into two
groups. One includes people
who return to work and con-
tinue to file claims for
unemployment benefits. The
other includes those who file
claims while they work part
time, but fail to correctly
report their earnings.
The average period for
which false claims are made
is six weeks. Currently, the
maximum unemployment
benefits payments per week
is $204.
Any jobless worker may
apply for unemployment
benefit payments, which are
paid from the state’s
unemployment insurance
trust fund. The fund is main-
tained through taxes paid by
employers on their
employee’s wages.

CITIZENS OF
KINGS
MOUNTAIN
SCHOOL DISTRICT
I am seeking re-election to the School Board and I will greatly appreciate your vote.
It was four years ago that you elected me to be a member of the Board of Education of
Kings Mountain District Schools. This has truly been an enriching and rewarding ex-
perience for me. I am grateful for your having entrusted me with the responsibility of
working with other board members in shaping the character and direction or our
school district.
During these four years that I have been a member of the School Board, public
education has emerged 1s a national, state and local priority. Many exciting things
are currently taking place. In its recent session, the North Carolina Legislature ap-
proved a plan which could provide as much as 2.3 billion dollars for school facilities
during the next ten years. Our Legislators also approved an additional teaching posi-
tions and new programs as well as smaller classes. School employees have also
received generous pay increases during the past four years and the per pupil expen-
diture has increased dramatically. There is reason to believe that such progress will
continue in the future. I believe that we have excellent school administrators,
teachers and staff members who are committed to helping each child in our schools
achieve to his fullest potential.
I would like to review for you my background and other qualifications for this posi-
tion. I grew up and attended public schools in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. I received the
BA Degree from Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, Tennessee before serving
for four and one-half years in the United States Air Force, one year of which was in
South Viet Nam. I obtained the rank of Captain and was awarded the Bronze Star
Medal for Meritorious Service. I received the Master’s Degree from Tulane Universi-
ty, New Orleans, Louisiana. For the past fifteen years I have been affiliated with
McGinnis Department Store. For more than ten years I have been actively involved in
Kings Mountain District Schools. I served as both treasurer and president of the West
School PTO and as a parent volunteer and tutor. I was a member of the Blue Ribbon
Facilities Committee and served on the Vocational Advisory Board and the Health
Council. In our community, I have served for many years as a volunteer in the United
Way, Heart and Cancer Campaigns. I am a former director of the Chamber of Com-
merce. I am immediate past president of the Kings Mountain Little Theatre and the
Kiwanis Club. I am an active member of Resurrection Lutheran Church where I have
served in numerous leadership roles. I am married to the former Anita McGinnis and
we have two daughters, Anne, an eleventh grader, and Emily, an eighth grader.
I believe that my service of the past four years gives me a broad base of experience
which can enhance my continued membership on the School Board. I have a sincere
desire to continue to represent you and work to make our school district the best possi-
ble for our children. I will greatly appreciate your vote on November 3.
