December 9, 2004 The Kings Mountain Herald Page 5B BY ANDIE L. BRYMER Staff Writer Despite construction and a tiny, temporary lobby, Kings Mountain Hospital Auxiliary held its annual Christmas tree lighting last week. Auxiliary members, hospital staff and the public gathered last Wednesday to flip the switch on the angel covered tree. Each orna- ment is sponsored in honor or memory of someone. A special angel was placed on the tree honoring physical therapy department head Randy Howe. “The department has grown because of his leadership and special dedication to his patients,” said auxiliary member Collene Bennett. “It’s a happy place to be even if you're in pain.” “It’s the team. It’s not a one person shop,” Howe said. Bennett was honored with another special angel for volunteering 358 hours in the phys- ical therapy department since the spring. Kings Mountain High School senior Jason Carpenter was also honored with an angel for helping to set up the tree for the past four years. “Each of these ladies I've grown to absolutely love. You all have a special place in my heart,” he said. Rev. John Houze of People’s Baptist Church read from the Gospel of Luke account of the angels which appeared to the shepherds. “You're angels. You come to people in need,” he told the crowd. “Every time you comfort someone that’s no more than the glory of God you're giving.” Auxiliary members say they are looking forward to next year when renovations are complete. The Christmas tree will be in the new lobby. Funds raised by the angel tree support the auxiliary’s scholarship program for KMHS graduates majoring in health care. JOSEPH BRYMER / HERALD Rev.

It’s time to renew my ® insurance for my car ® and | want to know (2 what this coverage does as well as what you would recommend? This is one of the best A: times to look into ® changing your coverage and to make sure that you are adequately protected. Everyone in North Carolina is required to carry the “minimum limits” in liability coverage. This coverage is to protect other driv- ers on the road when you may be negligent. Minimum limits in North Carolina are $30,000 per individual and $60,000 per accident. The $60,000 per acci- dent limitation means that if a number of people are in a car that you negligently hurt, the total amount of coverage from your insurance company would be $60,000 to be divided by everybody that was injured in the wreck. How liability coverage you actu- ally need depends on what assets you actually have and how much you can afford to pay for the coverage. One inter- esting aspect about the payment is that the most of the cost of insurance is in the first liability minimum limits coverage and doubling your coverage would not double your premium. Talk to your insurance agent about costs for upgrading your policy if you have minimum limits. What you are protecting is your assets in that, if you cause injury to someone, you may be sued and found liable for those dam- ages, you would then be subject to having a judgement placed against you and assets potential ly taken by execution on that judgment. ; The next kind of coverage avail- pIHARRIS RAGAN .

This coverage pays only medical bills that you receive from an injury involving a motor vehicle. This coverage applies no matter who was at fault for the wreck and helps cover out of pocket med- be bought in different amounts and is also a fairly inexpensive coverage to add to your policy. This coverage would apply to all the individuals in your vehicle if you are involved in a wreck. It is typically available in amounts of $500, $1000, $2000, $5000 and up. for un-insured motorists and under-insured motorists cover- age. Un-insured motorists cov- erage protects you and the occu- pants of your vehicle or the members of your family living with you, if you are in a wreck and someone else is at fault who does not have automobile insur- ance. Under-insured motorists cover- age provides coverage is the other person does not have enough insurance coverage to cover all your damages from a wreck. This often is the case when someone has minimum coverage and causes significant injuries to one or more people. We have handled claims where people injured had medical bills in excess of $800,000 and only minimum coverage was avail- able. The defendant had no assets. This coverage is only available if you purchase more than the minimum coverage of liability insurance. These are the three or four main types of coverage that individuals should assess there risks and determine what type icy with their agent. Brent Patterson Attorney at Law
