Happy 2019, everyone! Can you believe it? We’re almost out of the teens in this young century! Some things don’t change, though. For instance, I’m sure, on New Year’s Eve, you promised yourself a change in your life. Perhaps you resolved to quit smoking or lose some weight. Maybe this is the year you told yourself you would finally get back to the gym or begin eating healthier. Regardless, most New Year’s resolutions usually revolve around some form of self-improvement. There are some things that do change, however, like the way we go about making those changes. Typically, we like to focus on health or well-being in January, because that’s usually on everyone’s mind. But, this year, we wanted to find some new and inventive ways to look or feel better. Therefore, this issue is entitled, Not Your Mom’s Fitness Routine. This month, we’ll visit with Lori Kelley, ringmaster at Cirq-U. She’s teaching physical fitness in a unique and fun way by instructing even the most novice of athletes on circus acrobatic skills. If flying high in the air isn’t your thing, how about working out some aggression while getting fit at i Love Kickboxing? Finally, let’s examine the world of CBD oils. What are they? Why are they legal? What is in them that is helping young and old alleviate chronic conditions? There are very few of us who aren’t looking for some way to look and feel better, so perhaps this issue has something for you! By the way, this edition also marks our 18th anniversary of bringing you this publication. Please allow me to take a moment to thank each and every one of our readers, subscribers and advertisers for their support throughout the years. We look forward to continuing our mission to provide informative and entertaining editorial content to the people of – and visitors to – Cabarrus County!

Happy New Year!

Lori Kelley trains – and spots – circus arts students of all ages on the Corde Lisse.

Hanging Around at Circus University WE’RE NOT TALKING SITTING IN A CLASSROOM OR BEING A SPECTATOR. WE’RE TALKING FLYING THROUGH THE AIR WITH THE GREATEST OF EASE…AND A SPOTTER.

Cirq-U – or Circus University – is the brainchild of Lori Kelley, official ringmaster. Starting out taking gymnastics at the age of four, she laughs that she was booted out of ballet. “I grew up all over the place because my father was in the Navy,” she shares. “I continued on with it throughout our travels, and then we lived in Utah for a while and I picked up some other fun stuff, like baton, horseback riding and figure skating. They all kind of tied in together because they’re related to balance.” After her family settled in the Charlotte area in 1979 – she now lives in Kannapolis – Kelley kept on competing in gymnastics. That is, until she often found herself to be the only one older than 18 standing on the winners’ podium. “I said, ‘Why am I competing? What do I have to prove? There’s got to be something else that I can do.’ Then a friend of mine invited me to a festival called the PlayThink Movement & Arts Festival in Berea, Ky. I said, ‘What on Earth is that?’ It’s a circus, flow, and art and creativity festival. It was wonderful and I’d never done anything to do with circus arts before.” While traditional circuses are having to re-vamp their acts minus large animals like elephants, lions and tigers – or they’re disappearing altogether – circus arts is still a skill in high demand thanks to entertainment companies like Canada’s Cirque du Soleil and acrobatic performances on Broadway. In fact, according to circustalk.com, “To the layperson, it might seem as if circus is a dying art – but to those who still work in the ring, to circus educators,

directors and producers, things look quite different. Recreational and preprofessional circus participation and social circus initiatives are at an alltime high.” Nik Wallenda, who’s found his own fame as a daredevil on the highwire, comes from generations of family circus performers. “Circus is an age-old art form,” he says. “My family started in the 1780s –

that’s over 200 years, and Ringling was 146 years old. So, circus will continue on no matter what. There are very few, if any, circuses in the United States, including the biggest there are or were, that are still primitive in the way they run their circus. Cirque du Soleil has been incredibly successful because they have adapted to the times in every sense of the word.” That adaptation comes in the form

of contemporary, artistic storytelling as a theme to gravity-defying theatre. Many in the circus industry see history as one obstacle in the U.S. moving on to – and embracing – these new circus arts. Ringling Bros. Barnum & Bailey has left an indelible, stereotypical impression on the minds of those who remember big circus tent shows. However, it’s time to move on – and up – and after taking part in PlayThink, Kelley attended a national convention of circus entertainers. Still, nothing really suited what she envisioned doing. “What I wanted to do was build a community circus,” she says. Tenacity paid off because Cirq-U is now housed within a former cotton warehouse at 284 Ann Street in the Gibson Mill neighborhood of Concord. “It’s great; we can keep adding and adding. And there’s another small bit we’re hoping to get because it has 50foot ceilings.” Kelley refers to her current 12,000 square feet of space, plus the 18,000 square feet she’s taking on. “It’s raw space right now but we plan to unveil it in time for summer camp in June. It’s come a long way from 1,200 square feet,” she says. What sets Cirq-U apart from other circuses is its performers. “A lot of the people that come to us are fighting some sort of different ability – I don’t like to say disability – or they’ve been marginalized by other sports. If they go to the gym and someone is leering, they’re self-conscious and don’t want to go back,” Kelley explains. “What we do is, we take what is physical fitness and training and we turn that into something beautiful that is an art form that you can take out into the community. “We perform at the Mint Museum, Discovery Place, Joy Prom, the Sandbox Prom, Autism Speaks, local parades, and we’re also an Autismfriendly sport. We have many kids that are on the spectrum,” she adds.


“We’ve also had kids with epilepsy that have been able to discontinue physical therapy. I dare you to pick autistic children or epileptic children out of our crowd of relatively able-bodied people. “Most of the people that come to me, in whatever state they come to me – overweight or terrified to go upside down – I can have them ready to go out and do one of our ambient performances within three weeks. They’re properly matted, properly spotted, if they’re not comfortable bearing their weight, we have modifications we can make that do that for them.” This speaks volumes to the benefits that parents see when their child uses muscles they didn’t know they have. The art infuses aerial yoga, acrobatics and gymnastics with aerial silks, the lyra (aerial hoop), static and swinging trapeze, tightrope, slackline (similar to a tightrope), juggling, acrobatics, the unicycle...and Kelley has plans to add an indoor flying trapeze in 2019. “We have the three major classifications of aerial apparatus, which are the lyra, the silks and the hoop. We have a couple of interesting aerial apparatus. We only have one of each of these because they’re kind of strange but they’re still fun to play with and are even more fun to perform. We have the aerial cube, which is an aerial box that’s made out of steel. It’s basically four trapeze bars and tubes, all welded together. And we have just gotten a Corde Lisse (vertically hanging rope) and Spanish web (performance using apparatus similar to Corde Lisse). Participants aged five to 12 enroll in Cirque 101. “Every week you will learn three different varieties of activities. There is no pressure and everyone progresses at their own pace. You move into your next skillset when you feel comfortable,” Kelley explains. “The 101 class allows both adults and children to explore many different aspects of circus arts, later discovering which

one best complements them and then being able to focus on that particular art form as a performance.” Those who are older than 12 and want to continue in the circus go into Cirque 101 Adult. “It’s a university, so it goes on and on. You don’t get a degree, but we teach everything and learning is a process. We’re always learning, always evolving, adding new equipment, always terrifying ourselves,” Kelley laughs.” A lot of people that came to us for fitness

purposes have stuck with us longterm.” Taking Cirque 101 for about six months typically is enough preparation for a person to then perform a specialty. “We’ve got a couple girls that are trapeze ninjas, and when we go perform that’s what they do. I’m really good on the lyra and on the sidewinding tightrope, so if I have to perform, which I don’t like to do, but if I have to, those are the things I gravitate towards,” Kelley says.

that kind of sneaks up on you. You don’t really know what you’ve done until you wake up the next morning and look for the truck that hit you. But it’s a good sore.” Kelley emphasizes that Cirq-U is free-willed. Participants come when

they can and pay as they go; there’s no monthly commitment or fees. “I offer a lot of free practices because we’re geared towards performance,” she adds. Cirq-U is also a non-profit organization, one reason why Kelley is able to keep pricing low. “We’re all over the spectrum. We’re going to start a parent and child class for kids three and under; we have a four- and five-year-old class right now. We have a home school PE program, which is available for $5 a class during the day. And your first evening class is free!” In addition, tickets for Tundra, CirqU’s Winter Cirq Opera, are on sale. At $5 each, all proceeds go toward Kelley’s homeschool program fund. With a cast of 65 performers, Tundra takes place January 25 and 26 at 7:00pm at Cirq-U.

Are You One of the Six Out of Ten People? More than 12 percent of the world’s population will develop a thyroid condition in their lifetime, and 60 percent of all persons with a thyroid condition are not aware.* The thyroid gland is relatively small, (but) it produces a hormone that influences every cell, tissue and organ in the body. Thyroid hormone helps the body use energy, stay warm, and keep the brain, heart, muscles and other organs working as they should.* I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition in my early 20s. Throughout college, I had so many unusual symptoms that would land me in the doctor’s office, but no one could pinpoint what was going on. The reality is that an abnormal thyroid function can show itself from the top of your head to the tips of your toes, but there is no rational explanation. It can be easy to secondguess all of your symptoms because none of them seem to be related. It was only after a referral to a gastroenterologist that I realized there was a real issue, and all of the symptoms I was experiencing were common symptoms (collectively) of a thyroid problem. For a complete list, visit www.thyroid.org. Left untreated, thyroid diseases can place people at risk for serious conditions such as cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and infertility.* Simply put, the thyroid condition can have a complex range of symptoms, but it can be determined through a simple blood test at your yearly checkup. Once I was diagnosed and went through steps to remedy the thyroid condition, I manage it easily through

medication and regular blood tests. Don’t let a thyroid condition prevent you from feeling at your best. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist today about

CBD Oil: Hemp for Health WITH THE LEVEL OF SYNTHETIC DRUGS BEING PRESCRIBED OR MISUSED, THERE ARE THOSE LOOKING FOR A NATURAL MEANS TO ALLEVIATE CHRONIC CONDITIONS.

Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, legalized in the U.S. for medical purposes in 2014, is a component of the cannabis plant. It shouldn’t be confused with illegal marijuana, though, which contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive component that delivers a high. According to Ministry of Hemp, CBD was first extracted from cannabis by chemist, Roger Adams, in 1940. However, he didn’t know what it was or how it would be utilized until he and other researchers started testing years later. In 1946, doctors Walter S. Loewe and Raphael Mechoulam found no mental/ psychotic effect from CBD use on laboratory animals and also identified its chemical structure. In 1980, a study conducted by Dr. Mechoulam found CBD to be valuable in treating epilepsy. CBD has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has categorized CBD as an antioxidant and neuroprotectant (limiting neurological damage following stroke, trauma, etc.).

In Her Own Words My name is Nanette Bowman. I’ve been married for nearly eight years and we have two children. I have been diagnosed with problems people get in their 50s: fibromyalgia, inflammatory arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in my hands. I have bad inflammation Nanette Bowman and problems with my hands working properly. I took heavy medications until I found CBD oil. In a day, it changed my life. I began looking into CBD oil about six months ago and found a company that I trust and love. I take drops and also use lotion. The lotion I use mostly for my hands, with my severe swelling and pain. This and the drops help me keep up with my kids and life itself. When asked what benefits it provides for me personally, I start to tear up. I call what I take liquid gold. It provides everything the other medications did without the harsh side effects. It allows me to live a mostly normal life. Without it I would be a 27-year-old who couldn’t run, play or be happy. I have not had any side effects at all. It’s amazing! This is natural medication. Do your research of companies. If it’s the real thing, it will help you. The drops are the best way to go, I think. They work quickly. If you have a problem spot like I do with my hands, look into lotions also. They work wonders. CBD oil works. There are different strengths and, depending on what problems you deal with, pick the strength that works best for you.

The U.S. Congress and President Barack Obama’s passing of the Agricultural Act of 2014 – the Farm Bill – ushered in the research and manufacture of hemp products like CBD. While there is still a handful of U.S. states that do not recognize or allow industrial hemp, North Carolina is not one of them. For clarity, the definition of industrial hemp in North Carolina is a product that contains 0.3 percent of THC or less and, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures (NCSL), “State legislatures have taken action to promote industrial hemp as an agricultural commodity in recent years. A wide range of products, including fibers, textiles, paper, construction and insulation materials, cosmetic products, animal feed, food and beverages all may use hemp. “The plant is estimated to be used in more than 25,000 products spanning nine markets: agriculture, textiles, recycling, automotive, furniture, food/nutrition/beverages, paper, construction materials and personal care.” To go along with that, the list of potential CBD oil benefits as a supplement has broadened widely and includes treatment of epilepsy and multiple sclerosis; pain relief; reduction of anxiety and depression; aiding in cancer-related symptoms and treatment side effects; lowering blood pressure; even reducing acne. Deborah Mohrman, ND, is a naturopathic doctor and owner of Concord’s Genesis Herb Garden (genesisherbgarden.com; 704-7821650), which she opened in 1992. “The Endocannabinoid System (ECS) is both the ‘newest’ bodily system (not discovered until the late 1980s) and the oldest in existence,” she says. “The ECS is made up of a network of receptor sites (CB1 and CB2) on cell membranes, with the

highest concentration in the brain and central nervous system. The role of the ECS is the regulation of everything from appetite, energy metabolism, fertility and immunity, to sleep, mood, pain perception and memory. “There is virtually no function in the human body that does not benefit from a healthy Endocannabinoid System. In fact, Cannabidiol (CBD) is being touted as a magical elixir, a cureall now available even in bath bombs and dog treats.” Other forms include tinctures (liquid extracts); capsules; topicals; suppositories; water, beer, coffee and tea; shampoos and lotions; dried buds, flowers and leaves that can be smoked; vape juice; concentrates; sprays; fresh leaves in salads or juices; and edibles like cookies, brownies, butter and honey. “The most preferred method of taking CBD is in the oil form (drops), probably because it is in the system in as little as 20 minutes,” Mohrman shares. “Capsules are available for those who do not like the taste of CBD oil. In addition, we also offer creams for topical pain relief.” Ken Rodell is a local CBD entrepreneur with World of Hemp LLC. His introduction to CBD oil was actually for his German Shepherd, diagnosed with dysplasia as a puppy. Rather than put him down, Rodell sought a “quality of life” solution. He has Johann and his two older dogs on a daily CBD maintenance program and says, “He’s doing fine. His dysplasia will never be completely cured but once he’s up and stretches, he’s 100 miles an hour all day long.” Rodell has since dug deep into the information that’s out there about CBD. Since industrial hemp is a facet of business in its infancy in the U.S., keeping up with the ever-changing laws and levels of regulation is dizzying. Mohrman and her staff actually followed the legal progress of CBD when its usage passed in 2014, but

didn’t put it into practice until January 2016. “We wanted to spend time researching the use and side effects before we were comfortable suggesting it to our clients,” she says. As of this writing, it was expected that President Donald Trump would sign revised Farm Bill wording with regard to hemp production. It basically points to overall use of the hemp plant for product manufacture, and scaling back on the ban against convicted drug felons who want to take part in the business of industrial hemp. Prior to this, President Obama’s 2014 Farm Bill allowed farmers to grow hemp in conjunction with/overseen by a state program – in North Carolina’s case, N.C. State University. While we’ll address potential side effects of CBD, Rodell’s passion is product purity. He says not all CBDs are created equal. “Purity is an important issue,” he says. “Soil conditions, growing environment, processing methods and storage are some that can impact the quality of the final product. For example, in the extraction process different options exist for the solvents being used, such as CO2, ethanol,

alcohol, hexane, propane and butane, which is dangerous. “The label won’t necessarily say what the processes were. If anyone says it was grown in China, walk away. Hemp is very fibrous – the most fibrous plant – and it sucks up everything in the soil like metals, toxins and contaminants. There are many European companies offering their products on the Internet and partnering with U.S. businesses. You don’t really know if it’s grown in Chernobyl or France,” he adds. Mohrman agrees. “Be careful where you purchase because there are various ways in which CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant to create CBD oils, and not all these methods are created equal when it comes to the

purity and quality of the final product. Some companies that cut corners and produce cheap CBD products may use harmful solvents such as propane or butane to render their extracts. “It is very important that you choose your product from a reputable company or practitioner who has researched the product extensively. Factors such as the extraction method, the soil quality, where it comes from and whether it has been diluted and with what are extremely important factors to consider; therefore, do not purchase based on price alone.” Rodell says there is a “buy local” movement here in North Carolina that he believes is important.

Or you can take too little and it won’t have an effect. You really need to monitor your intake. And it’s a cliché, but less is more. Taking too much can’t hurt you, but you’re going to negate the positive effects,” he shares. Rodell offers some advice for those looking into trying CBD: • Is the maker of the CBD oil accountable to anyone? • Ask if the product is laboratory tested (certificate of analysis). • Find out how the CBD was extracted. • Where was the hemp grown? • Don’t choose a product from China! “You can take CBD forever,” he adds. “I advise people that once they start it and start feeling the effects, they can cut down on the amount they take and find their own level. Then continue with it because it’s a beneficial preventative tool.” He predicts that, by 2022, CBD will be a $3- to $4-billion industry. Visit worldofhempnc.com, call 704-3612196 or send an email to Rodell at info@worldofhempnc.com for more information. There are writings all over the Internet both advocating and denouncing CBD.

Kickboxing: Power in Movement IMAGINE PUTTING ON THE GLOVES AND PUNCHING OUT YOUR STRESS. PEPPERED AMONG THOSE JABS AND UPPERCUTS ARE ROUNDHOUSE AND SIDE KICKS. THE RESULT MAY BE O.K.D.: OBSESSIVE KICKBOXING DISORDER.

i Love Kickboxing has come to Cabarrus County and franchise owner, Dana White, is excited about what it brings to the community. Kickboxing is a high-intensity hybrid martial art derived from karate and boxing, so it uses both your arms and legs. Burning some 350 to 450 calories per hour, it’s amped-up cardio that targets areas of the body like the core, arms and legs, and the buttocks. In conjunction, balance, flexibility, coordination and strength are improved. According to i Love Kickboxing, what they bring to the table is relief from the boredom of working out, getting people motivated to keep coming back to the gym. “Boredom is the number one reason people stop working out,” White says. “So we get to work creating a workout that is never boring…and always fun, engaging, challenging and exciting. We do a DJ night-themed class each month where we have a live DJ come in for the classes. Our members have a blast. We also do challenges and contests consistently throughout the year to keep them engaged and motivated as they crush their fitness goals.” Class sizes at i Love Kickboxing typically fall between 15 and 30 people (90 percent of which are women), and classes are offered six days a week for those 13 and older. Most members work out one to three times weekly.

Warm-up exercises to loosen up the body include squats, lunges, jumping squats, double lunges, push-ups, burpees and abdominals.

“Our classes are designed to allow our members to train ‘at their own pace’ while, at the same time, giving the advanced student the opportunity to challenge themselves,” its website notes. “We have created a tight-knit community among positive, inspiring men and women who fight every day to make their bodies and their lives better. It’s a place for accountability where passionate instructors really do care about you and your goals,” White adds. An i Love Kickboxing workout begins with the warm-up. Exercises to loosen up the body include squats, lunges, jumping squats, double lunges,

push-ups, burpees (squat thrusts) and abdominals. Bag work is next and embodies hand and foot work with the bag. Then partner drills see members teaming up. “This part of class always gets tons of laughter and smiles. You’ll team up with a fellow member and have fun with exciting drills that get you both burning calories and having a blast,” the i Love Kickboxing website says. Classes finish with conditioning exercises and the cool-down. “Our class is not a ‘follow the leader/ punch the air’ cardio class,” White explains. “It is a well-balanced workout consisting of cardio training and resistance training to help you burn


fat and tone muscle in a short amount of time. Cardio can be an important part of a fat loss program, but you need to develop lean muscle tissue to really turn your body into a fat melting machine. The only really effective way to do that is through resistance training.” Studies.com says, “Kickboxing involves lots of rapid movement and can easily increase your heart rate to a similar pace as running. Kickboxing often uses interval training, where participants exercise at peak output for 30 seconds to a couple of minutes and then rest. This type of training is called high-intensity interval training and has been shown to be especially good for burning calories and increasing cardiovascular fitness. “Studies have shown that after only five weeks of kickboxing, cardiovascular health can be greatly improved. Participants increased their VO2 max, a measure of the maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during physical activity. A greater VO2 max means your body is more efficient at getting oxygen and using it, so you can generate more energy and, thus, more movement.” Nutrition is a vital component of kickboxing. “What you eat certainly plays a crucial role in hitting your fitness goals,” White says. “We realize this can be the toughest part for most. Having to go grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, eating the same meals every week...it can really hold us back from getting the body we truly want. That being said, we have partnered with Fresh Meal Plan (freshmealplan.com/code/ likesouthconcord). Livestrong.com says, “Kickboxing is an anaerobic activity, made up of short bursts of intense activity followed by short rest periods. Anaerobic activity requires far fewer carbohydrates and more protein than aerobic activity. “There is no magic food for kickboxing. Success comes from a complete diet. Your carbohydrates

should be complex, as opposed to refined products like sugar and white bread. Protein should come from natural sources as much as possible. If you can’t get enough protein from lean meats, consider supplementing your protein intake with whey powder shakes. Look for nuts rich in monounsaturated fats, and sources of omega-3 fatty acids such as fish and grass-fed meats.” You don’t need to already be in peak physical shape to take on kickboxing but physical therapist Ross Brakeville says, “You can expect a physically demanding workout, especially if you go all-out for an hour-long class. Not ready for that? You and your instructor can modify kickboxing to meet your needs. Work at your own pace. Start slow and drink water before, during and after your workout. Listen to your body and don’t overdo it. White adds, “The result is a baghitting, adrenaline-flowing workout that anyone can do – no matter your

Speedway Children’s Charities (SCC), in a special grant distribution ceremony last month, announced that the non-profit’s Charlotte Motor Speedway chapter distributed $1,040,350 in grants – a record annual amount – to 100 charitable organizations located throughout the Charlotte region. More than 250 children were joined by Santa Claus and Lug Nut – the world’s fastest mascot – for the grant reception in the Speedway Christmas presented by Disconnect & Drive infield village at Charlotte Motor Speedway. The Charlotte chapter’s 2018 contributions represent a sizable increase of more than $88,000 from last year’s mark. Since its inception in 1982, the Speedway Children’s Charities Charlotte chapter has raised more than $13 million through a variety of annual fundraising events to support children with everything from educational support to the basic need of a coat or meal. “It’s a true privilege to distribute these funds to 100 local charities who work hard year-round to make a major impact on the lives of children in need,” Speedway Children’s Charities Vice-Chairman and Charlotte Chapter President Marcus Smith says. “These area non-profits are so dedicated to serving our community. We are proud to play a part in supporting their efforts with financial contributions for their programs.” For more information on Speedway Children’s Charities or to learn how to volunteer or donate, visit speedwaycharities.org.


Town of Harrisburg Launches New and Improved Website

The Town of Harrisburg has launched its new website, replacing the previous site at harrisburgnc.org. The new site is designed to be more user-friendly and engage residents. The site is also mobile responsive, allowing users to view it from any device, and a mobile app version of the site will be available in the near future. From the homepage, visitors can browse menus with information on Town Government, Services, Community, Doing Business and “How Do I.” Residents can pay their utility bills online, learn about current projects, view Town Council meeting minutes and more. The Notify Me module on the site allows residents to sign up to receive email and text notifications regarding job opportunities, news items, alerts, calendar postings and meeting agendas. The Town contracted with CivicPlus to create the new site, which was a year-long effort that involved every Town department. The new website can be viewed at harrisburgnc.org and is best viewed using Google Chrome.

New Year, New Power Source The new year brings a new source of cleaner, more efficient energy to residents of Concord. January 1 marked the beginning of a 20-year power purchase agreement between NTE Energy and Concord that local officials say will generate significant wholesale energy cost savings for the city. “Concord Electric Systems has a long history and a reputation in our community for reliable hometown public power,” Concord Mayor Bill Dusch says. “In addition to celebrating 115 years of providing this service to the community, 2019 will mark a new chapter for our customers and the professionals who keep the system running every day.” Seth Shortlidge, NTE’s chief executive officer, notes that NTE’s natural gas-fired, combinedcycle facilities produce up to 50 percent more energy from the same amount of fuel while producing far less emissions than plants that run on coal or other less efficient fuels. “NTE’s facilities are among the cleanest and most efficient energy sources in the Carolinas,” Shortlidge says, “and that efficiency translates into tangible economic benefits for the local communities we serve. Through its agreement with NTE, the City of Concord will enjoy reliable electricity with significantly increased economics for years to come.” Concord Electric Systems Director Bob Pate adds, “We have been looking forward to January 1, 2019, since entering into the agreement with NTE in 2014. Our customers will benefit from more efficiency and the ability to invest more resources into our local power grid.”

Town of Harrisburg Adopts Official Town Flag Harrisburg Town Council has approved a resolution to adopt an official town flag. The flag’s design was submitted anonymously and selected by residents via online voting methods. In March 2018, Hickory Ridge High School student, Jonathan Andrus, proposed that the town hold a contest to select an official Town of Harrisburg flag. More than 50 entries were received from graphic designers, schoolchildren and other Harrisburg residents. Town Council, Town staff and Andrus reviewed the entries, reduced the pool to the top five designs and opened online voting for residents. The Town received 1,124 votes on the five flag designs, with Flag Design #2 receiving the most votes (357). This design was hand-drawn when it was submitted, so the Town used a graphic designer to convert the design into a digital format and make minor tweaks, like add color. Railroad tracks, waves representing area rivers, naturally wooded and agricultural areas, residential/suburban characteristics, Harrisburg Town Hall and the skyline of Charlotte are componetns of the flag’s design. From Flag #2’s designer: Harrisburg having the small town rural characteristics of rolling farmland, but also the developed residential areas and close proximity to the Charlotte metro area, make it one of the most desirable places to live in North Carolina, and I think this flag represents all of those elements.
