When to Intervene?
One of the most difficult issues for
families is estimating how to allow
for maximum autonomy, yet
maintain safety and comfort for
people with dementias.
What are the critical
behaviors that indicate
living alone is a risk?
A Weight loss of greater that 6
Ibs. in 6 months; falls with
injuries; repeated calls to families
asking what to do next; poor
grooming or wearing same clothing all the time; socially
isolated behavior; neighbors or others complain of unwanted
or unrealistic dependence on them.
0 What are the early losses seen in any type of
dementia?
Kristi Hickson Anthony,

Executive Director
Summit Place
Assisted Living®
A Ability to plan things and carry them through in the
right sequence; loss of ability to structure day (what to
do next); loss of sense of time, risk, safety; loss of reading
comprehension; chronic worry; unsafe driving.

The decision to reimburse
Goforth for the cash came
under fire from City
Councilman Jerry Mullinax
who said the State Bureau of
Investigation should investi-
gate.
Goforth called the situa-
tion “ a political game.”
“If people of power of this
city would spend more time
looking after the well being
of the city instead of indi-
vidual department heads
and department personnel.
Some folks can’t leave well
enough alone. They've got
to keep messing with us,”
Goforth said.
Mullinax denies his ques-
tions are politically motivat-
ed.

G. Litton has assumed com-
mand of the 25th Flying
Training Squadron, Vance
“I can see no way it can be
political, a theft or a loss is a
theft or loss. It cannot be
political,” he said.
Mullinax stands behind
his request for an SBI
inquiry.
"We would have a clear
and better understanding of
what happened. At this
point we don’t know if any-
one is guilty,” he said.
Mullinax said he cannot
ask for the SBI investigation
himself but plans to ask
District Attorney Bill Young
to do so. Young could not be
reached for comment.
While Goforth would not
name names, he did say he
had some “hunches” as to
who or whom was behind
the issue.
“I would like to see the
citizens of Kings Mountain
do more homework, dig in
the backgrounds of who

he said.
Since the reimbursement
was made public, Goforth
said he had received several
phone calls. During a recent
weekend fishing trip to
South Carolina, he saw
someone from Kings
Mountain who had read
about the issue.
“I've got to where I hate
to walk in anywhere. I want
to put this situation behind
me. I'm tired of the newspa-
pers and all this publicity,”
Goforth said. “It seems to
me I'm getting jumped on
