Awareness Seminar attracts small crowd A Community Awareness Seminar for local business leaders at the Senior Center attracted a . sparse crowd Monday but Director Monty Thornburg says that the Center invites participation by all senior adults from the area. Thornburg presented a short video and distributed pamphlets explaining the services provided for senior adults. Light refresh- ments were served by volunteers from the Center. Thornburg pointed out that ac- cording to the 1990 Census that 3,300 senior adults 60 and older live in the Kings Mountain area. Of this number, 1,014 are active in various programs at the Center. He said that in order for clients to be eligible for Senior Center ser- vices they must be at least 60 years old. The City of Kings Mountain contributes 70 percent of the funds to support the activities. In 1991. the older. adult. popula: tion 65 years and older in the na- tion was 12.5 percent or 31.8 mil- lion. Included in the local services is a nutrition site where meals are provided daily for seniors by the Cleveland County Department of Social Services. Home delivered meals are also available. Seniors enjoy daily transporta- tion to activities at the Senor Center and the nutrition site pro- gram through a special arrange- ment with Transportation Administration of Cleveland County. The annual Health Fair, fitness and health promotions, we- ight/blood pressure clinics, senior games, legal services, Senior Health Insurance Information, spe- cial workshops and fun programs are included. : Senior adults may receive a Tar. .

Unless the City Council over rules the Commission, the action means that no resident of Moss Lake will sit on the Commission as it was suggested by a Moss Lake resident at a recent meeting. Councilman Dean Spears sug- gested at the January City Council meeting that the board consider an amendment to the Moss Lake ordi- nance to include a resident of Moss Lake with business ties to Kings Mountain for membership on the Commission. City Council delayed appoint- ment on the Lake Commission's recommendation for the vacant position. Evelyn Hamrick's motion to rec- ommend to City Council again that their nominee be approved died for a lack of a second, members saying they would leave an appointment to the discretion of City Council.
