Kings Mountain Senior Center has two valuable assets in Chapter V workers Bill Adams and
Vergie Farris. Adams puts his handyman skills to good use and Farris runs the Whistlestop
Boutique as part of the program that gives seniors part time work.
Employment program
helps seniors stay active
BY ALAN HODGE
Staff Writer
For many senior citizens, sit-
ting around doing nothing is
unthinkable. However, the job
market is often geared towards
the younger set. Coming to the
rectification of that situation is
the Senior Community Service
Employment Program- also
known as Chapter V.
Designed to provide subsi-
dized part-time employment
opportunities and a moderate
level of supportive services for
persons with low incomes who
are 55 years old or older, -
. Chapter V also gives work ex-
perience and skills that enable
participants to secure unsubsi-
dized employment.
Chapter V enrollees are em-
ployed in assignments which
contribute to the general wel-
fare of the community and
which provide services related
to publicly owned and operated
facilities and projects or projects
sponsored by organizations oth-
er than political parties, exempt
from taxation under the IRS.
One organization that makes
good use of the Chapter V pro-
gram is the
Kings Mountain Senior Center.
Current Chapter V workers at
the Senior Center include Bill
Adams and Vergie Farris.
Besides using the Chapter V
program to earn some extra
money, both Adams and Farris
are considered vital to the over-
all operation of the center.
Chapter V pays 85 percent of
their wage, Kings Mountain 15
percent.
Anyone who has visited the
Kings Mountain Senior Center
can’t help but notice that there
is a railway caboose sitting in
the parking lot. More than a
relic, this caboose operates un-
der the watchful eye of Farris as
the Whistle Stop Boutique. In
addition to keeping track of the
items available in the consign-
ment shop, Farris helps cus-
tomers select their purchases
from the wide variety of hand-
made crafts and other goodies
available. A typical workweek
for Farris is about 25 hours.
“The job gives me some extra
money’and helps me buy the
medicine I need ,” Farris said.
“Sometimes it’s not easy to get
up in the morning, but I enjoy
it- especially the people I meet
in the shop.”
A former night watchman
and assembly line worker,
Adams has drawn on his vari-
ous talents in his role as the
current Senior Center handy-
man. On the job for about two
years now, Adams does every-
thing from landscaping to
plumbing repairs to helping
load the daily lunch truck.
Adams works about 20 hour
per week and has lived in Kings
Mountain most of his life.
“Besides the financial re-
wards of being part of the
Chapter V program at the
Senior Center, I also enjoy being
around the people here,”
Adams said, “If it wasn't for the
program, I'd be out hunting
something to do.”
Sharon Eaker at the Senior
Center is just one of the staffers
that appreciates the good things
Adams and Farris do.
“They are good employees
and always on time,” Eaker
said. “They are rarely out sick
and will do anything we need.
They are a tremendous asset to
the center and, and, community.”
Currently, the Kings
Mountain Senior Center is look-
ing for a clerical assistant to
work for them under the
Chapter V program. Applicants
must be 55-years-old or older,
unemployed, and meet certain
income guidelines. Apply at
the Senior Center or call 734-
0447 for more information.
