That amounted to 654 gallons stolen in only about eight minutes. The Battleground BP on York Rd., which was closed at the time of the heist, didn’t notice the crime until around mid- night the next night. That’s when employ- ees conduct a daily audit of the store’s fuel holdings. “We ruled out human error; we ruled out mechanical error and that’s what prompted us to check the security tapes,” said Kevin Burton, the store owner. It was then that store personnel — and later police — observed two men pull up in what looked like a home heating oil truck at 3:15 a.m. Thursday and proceed to tap into the station’s large reserve of diesel fuel, which retails for about $4 a gallon. Burton said the whole operation took less than ten minutes and little of the suspects’ identity was visible due to the late hour. “They probably picked diesel because of its low volatility,” Burton said, adding that the insurance claim is still pending. “They were very professional. These guys were good. Real good.” There are reports of the same kind of gas or diesel theft occurring in Charlotte re- cently. And last winter in Florida, thieves retrofitted a minivan to steal and hold 250 gallons of gasoline from a Tampa area con- venient store. That attempt fell apart when a sheriff’s deputy pulled onto the scene, prompting the thieves to scatter in a differ- ent vehicle. It was the third time in less than a month that the convenience store has been the scene of serious theft. On October 1, a regular customer parked his pickup truck in the parking lot and moments after he reported a suspicious character loitering in the area, he noticed his vehicle had been stolen. Police were immediately called to the scene and as they were investigating the missing truck about 45 minutes, its owner spotted it being driven by the thief at the MecDonald’s across the street. Apparently, Burton said, the thief got turned around or lost and inadvertently returned to the scene of the crime. He was apprehended. A week before that, the store was bro- ken into in the middle of the night and thieves made off with $700 in cash. “They say it comes in threes,” said Bur- ton, who’s owned the store for four and a half years. “I hope that’s it for me.” Hwy. The vehicle’s operator then left the scene. The esti- mated damage to the Kia was $1,000. OCT, 6: Officer B.M. Black said that a 2003 Chevrolet operated by Bruce E. Collins, Jr., rear-ended a 2010 Jeep operated by David A. Cutler while travelling north on I-85. The collision triggered a chain reaction of rear-end collisions involving three additional vehicles, in- cluding a 2012 Nissan oper- ated by Elizabeth A. Miller, a 2013 Chevrolet operated by Raymond Giles, Jr, and a 2012 Kia operated by Jim Dae Yoon. The estimated damages to the 2003 Chevrolet, the 2010 Jeep, the 2012 Nissan, the 2013 Chevrolet and the 2012 Kia were $800, $800, $2,000, $6,000 and $3,000, re- spectively. A passenger in the 2013 Chevrolet was trans- ported to Kings Mountain Hospital for possible head and neck injuries. Oct. 26: Officer: B.C. McGinnis said that an unoccu- pied parked 2012 Honda owned by Loren E. Everhart was struck by an unknown ve- hicle in a parking lot on Rail- road Ave. The vehicles operator then left the scene. The estimated damage to the Honda was $1,000. + Dear Savvy Senior, I understand that there are a number of different flu vaccines being offered to, adults this flu season. What can you tell me about them? Seeking Protection Dear Seeking, Depending on your age, health and personal preference, there are six differ- ent ways to get immunized against in- fluenza this year. Just as they do every year, the Cen- ters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends a seasonal flu shot to almost everyone over the age of 6 months because it’s still the best protec- tion against the flu. If you get a flu shot, you're 60 per- cent less likely to get the flu. And if you do happen to get it, you're likely to have a milder case if you’ve been inoculated. The flu puts more than 200,000 people in the hospital each year and kills on av- erage about 24,000. Here's the rundown on the different vaccines that are avail- able this flu season: Standard flu shot: This tried-and- true shot that’s been around for more than 30 years protects against three strains of influenza, and is recom- mended for everyone 6 months and older. This year’s version protects against the two common Type A strains HINT and H3N2, and one strain of Type B influenza virus. Quadrivalent vaccine: New this year, this vaccine that protects against four types of influenza — the same three strains as the regular flu shot, plus an ad- ditional B-strain virus that primarily af- fects kids. Available to everyone 6 months and older, the quadrivalent shot will be available in limited supply this year, therefore it’s primarily recom- ‘mended for children. Fluzone High-Dose: Designed for seniors age 65 and older, this vaccine contains four times the amount of anti- gen — the part of the vaccine that prompts the body to make antibody — as a regular flu shot does, which creates a stronger immune response for better protection. The manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, says its research shows the shot By JIM MILLER Editor to. be 24 percent more effective in sen- iors. Fluzone Intradermal: If you're squeamish about needles, the intrader- mal shot is a nice option because it uses a tiny micro-needle to inject the vaccine just under the skin, rather than deeper in the muscle. like standard flu shots. This year’s version will protect against three strains of influenza, and is recom- mended to those ages 18 to 64. FluBlok: Created for people who are allergic to eggs who have had to skip their yearly flu shot. FluBlok is the first egg-free flu vaccine developed through cell technology from three flu strains cultured in caterpillar cells. This shot, however, is only recommended: to younger adults between the ages of 18 and 49. FluMist: This nasal spray vaccine protects against four strains of influenza, just like the quadrivalent shot, but it’s only recommended for those between age 2 and 49.

Insuring WHAT MATTERS MOST Medicare Supplements, Home, Auto, Life, Business, and Annuities Davidson PERI T hos Many flu shot options available to adults this season these options, ask your doctor or phar- magcist, or check the online flu-shot lo- cator at flushot.healthmap.org. Most chains like CVS, Walgreens, Safeway, Kmart, Walmart, Rite Aid and Kroger will offer the standard and high-dose shots, along with the flumist nasal spray. But because of limited supply, it may be a bit more difficult to locate the intrader- mal, quadrivalent or flublock vaccines. You’ll also be happy to know that most health plans and Medicare will cover the cost of a flu shot. But if you're not covered by insurance, you can ex- pect to pay around $25 to $35 for a stan- dard, intradermal or quadrivalent flu shot, or $50 to $60 for a shot of the high- dose or flublock.
