N.C. Senate seeks to

eliminate driver’s education requirement Experts weigh in on potential consequences

Senators hope to eliminate the unfunded mandate in place of a higher passing score on the written test for the learner’s permit.

With the learner’s permit, a teen driver then will be required to complete 85 hours of parent-supervised driving, instead of the current 60 hours.

“Driver’s education is primarily a rulestraining program, so the argument (for and against retaining driver’s education) can go both ways,� said Janice Williams, safe communities coordinator of Mecklenburg County for Carolina Center for Injury Prevention.

Heat wave sends area residents indoors Record-breaking temperatures sweep the region

by Josh Whitener josh@unioncountyweekly.com

“Driver’s education does not teach (students) to drive.�

Williams said parents teach adolescents how to drive, but driver’s education is the initial stepping stone to ensure parents understand that driving is a learned skill and should be taught carefully. “Driver’s education gives (professionals) the ability to introduce that to parents and help them understand the role that they play,� Williams said.

Williams hopes the state retains some form of driver’s education, particularly classes for parents to learn better techniques to teach driving and help their drivers gain experience.

She supports increased supervised driving because it gives young drivers more practice and guidance on the road, but feels the increased test score wouldn’t reap any benefits as a student would need to memorize the rules of the road – with or without driver’s education.

No data has found knowledge of road regulations leads to fewer crashes, she added. “The problem is, in reality, a lot of states

The effects of a mid-June heat wave were pervasive throughout the Charlotte and surrounding areas, as record-breaking temperatures swept the region last month.

From farmers to utility workers to everyday citizens of all ages, area residents fought to beat the heat when temperatures neared or hit triple-digit figures for nearly two consecutive weeks.

May 30 to June 28 was the third warmest 30-day period on record for the Charlotte area, according to the State Climate Office of North Carolina. The average daily temperatures were 5 degrees above the normal average for the area in midJune (91.5 degrees), with the maximum highs at 6 degrees above normal. “Generally, looking over the past month, the lows haven’t gotten below 70 degrees,� said Corey Davis, applied climatologist with the State Climate Office of North Carolina.

Davis said the heat was even “more impressive� when zeroing in on the second, third and fourth weeks in June.

June 8 to 28 was the warmest period on record for the Charlotte area, with several

Fifteen-year-old students across the state could legally be able to hit the road without any previous behind-the-wheel training due to a recent North Carolina Senate budget provision.

The state Senate added a rider to the state budget that would eliminate driver’s education classes as a requirement for a Department of Motor Vehicle learner’s permit.

That means on average 120,000 North Carolina teens per year would no longer need 30 hours of classroom instruction and six hours of behind-the-wheel training before taking steps toward getting their driver’s license.

The North Carolina General Assembly already eliminated state funding for driver’s education at the end of the current budget year, leaving parents to foot the bill, which would amount to at least $300. School systems are currently required to offer driver’s education to their students, even without any state financial backing, and the state only allows districts to charge up to $65 per driver for the course.

Local cyclists ride to raise to Type 1 Diabetes research

by Gabby Hubert news@unioncountyweekly.com

Area riders strapped on their helmets and manned their bikes all in the name of finding a cure for Type 1 diabetes.

The Junior Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) held a 30-mile bike ride on June 25 to raise funds for Type 1 diabetes (T1D) research, and to sponsor the 32 local riders participating in the crosscountry JDRF Ride to Cure Diabetes.

The event, hosted by TrySports in Blakeney, raised more than $3,000 and drew more than 50 participants, including 17-time Tour de France participant George Hincapie.

JDRF focuses on “turning Type 1 into ‘type none.’�

Kelly Tant, senior manager of corporate development for JDFR met her husband and stepson with Type 1 diabetes, while working with JDRF. “JDRF is the world’s largest funder of research into Type 1 diabetes,� she said. “Our ultimate goal is to find a cure. Until then, we are working on different therapies that will improve the day-to-day life of those living with T1D and working to reduce long term complications."

Type 1 diabetes, also known as “junior diabetes� because of its prevalence in individuals 20 years old and younger,

JDRF International Board Member Pat McFeeley (center) is a JDRF rider and has two daughters living with Type 1 diabetes.

affects nearly 1.25 million Americans – 200,000 of those who are younger than 20 years old. The number is expected to increase to 5 million by 2050.

Those with Type 1 diabetes also have a reduced life expectancy by up to 13 years, and the disease has no known triggers or cure.

Jessica Lynn-Lato, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes during her first pregnancy at 28 years old and now serves as chair for a local outreach

New

group for adult Type 1 diabetes sufferers, said the diagnosis “completely and unexpectedly� changed her life. “I was routinely tested for gestational diabetes in my seventh month of pregnancy and they found that my blood sugar was ‘off the charts,’� she said. “I was put on insulin immediately, and ever since, managing my diabetes has been a 24-hour job. I can never not be thinking about it."

The race on June 25 is only one of

JDRF's extensive ride programs, which includes seven destination rides of up to 100 miles.

This year’s race was particularly unique, however, due to Hincapie’s participation. Hincapie became involved with JDFR through a friendship with local JDRF Chair Pat McFeeley.

Hincapie also will participate in one of JDRF’s major 100-mile rides and will host his own ride in Greenville, South Carolina, on Oct. 24 to continue the fight against Type 1 diabetes.

Although his participation was the main draw for some registrants, more than 40 percent demonstrated a direct connection to someone with Type 1 diabetes – a figure that, according to Tant, sets this ride apart from others. “All of our cyclists are a mix of skill levels and connection to the cause,�

Tant said. “The beauty of the JDRF ride program is that it is purely based on passion; it has nothing to do with your riding ability. It ranges from professional and competitive cyclists to novices who haven't gotten on a bike in 20 years."

days boasting record-breaking high temperatures. Temperatures measured at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport reached 100 degrees on five different occasions – June 18, 22, 23, 24 and 26 – and other areas in Charlotte, such as the Arboretum, reported temperatures that peaked higher than 100 degrees.

The area experienced similar warm periods in June in 1944, 1986 and 1998, Davis said. The last time the Charlotte area experienced a period of intense heat – albeit, for a shorter amount of time – was in late June 2012, Davis said.

“We’re emphasizing since 2012, we’ve not seen a period quite as warm as the last week or so,” Davis said. “Not a lot of people are used to it. (Charlotte) got just within a few degrees of the all-time record (high temperature of 104 degrees). It’s definitely extreme heat for us here.”

Though temperatures have cooled down a bit over the past week, Davis said there’s no guarantee the heat is over. The Charlotte region only received 1.95 inches of rainfall during the last three weeks in June, which he said contributes to the higher temperatures.

As the jet stream has remained over the mid-U.S. for the past several weeks, it’s “kept us in that pattern of not a lot of rain coming through here,” Davis said. “We’re not having the normal summertime showers that we usually see … That keeps us in this dry, hot pattern.”

Heat gives farmers trouble The heat coupled with a lack of rain has made it difficult for area farmers who grow crops, maintain livestock or both.

Andy Anderson, co-owner of The Hunter Farm in Weddington, said the high temperatures were detrimental to the farm’s strawberry crops at the end of strawberry season.

Though his own farm doesn’t grow corn, Anderson said corn farmers are likely reaping the negative effects of the heat. Anderson grew up on a corn and soybean farm in Illinois and said heat and dry weather are never good for those crops.

“High temperatures can be really tough on corn and soybean – 95 (degrees) is kind of a magic number when it comes to pollination of those plants,” Anderson said. “…

We were always concerned anytime a long heat spell came at a time when corn or soybeans should be pollinating. Corn requires a lot of water, too, much more so than some crops do.”

The Hunter Farm maintains a number of animals, including about 15 head of cattle – both Black Angus and dairy cows – as well as horses and goats. Anderson sent his horses to an Amish farm in Pennsylvania to avoid the heat, but said the rest of the animals have handled the heat well.

“All of our petting barn animals are under cover. Our cows have enough timber on the property, plus one barn they can go

into to get in the shade,” he said. “Some of them get in the ponds to swim in and cool off. They’ve been able to manage the heat pretty well.”

Anderson said he’s concerned, though, about the dryness of his fields, as he prepares to plant strawberries in the fall.

“There’s not much moisture right now – we’re hoping for an August or early September rain.”

Staying healthy in the heat Extreme heat also can be detrimental to individuals’ health, with heat stroke as the most common and serious heat-related injury.

Though not technically a “stroke” – it doesn’t involve a hemorrhage or blockage in the arteries – heat stroke, or sunstroke, can generate a number of health concerns, ranging from a mild increased heart rate to more severe seizures, according to retired Mint Hill nurse Diane Petro.

“Usually what you’re going to see is people start complaining about their heart racing,” Petro said. “They can have confusion or anxiety as the heart rate increases.

If it gets too bad, it can cause unconsciousness.”

Heat stroke occurs when the body doesn’t regulate heat correctly, somewhat similar to a fever. People experiencing heat stroke might sweat profusely, or they might not sweat at all, but both are a problem, Petro said.

The first step of alleviating a heat stroke is removing the person from direct sunlight and into a cooler place. If the person is alert, it’s important to have them drink water or other cool liquids; however, if a person is experiencing a lack of consciousness, drinking fluids can put them at risk of aspiration.

People also can use ice packs under their arms and in their groin area to alleviate the symptoms of heat stroke, Petro said.

Those at highest risk for heat stroke are children and the elderly, Petro said, and all people should take several precautions to prevent heat stroke if they know they’re going to be outside in the heat. People should make sure they’re well hydrated before going outside, and also try to limit outdoor activities – such as yard work, exercise and sports and games – to early morning or evening hours.

Both residents and pets should avoid sitting in parked cars when it’s hot, Petro said, and people also can take extra precautions by wearing a hat to shade the head and face, and lighter clothing that repels heat.

“In other words, sweatpants are not the best thing to wear this time of year,” she said.

What’s next?

Davis said it’s too early to determine if the extensive heat is over for the summer and what residents can expect.

“It’s a little too early to say that we’re done with the heat yet for the summer, (but) it’s definitely fairly unusual heat – something we haven’t seen in a while,” he said. www.unioncountyweekly.com

Allen Tate dies, legacy lives on

by Hannah Chronis hannah@unioncountyweekly.com

H. Allen Tate, Jr., founder and chairman of the Allen Tate Company, died at his home in Charlotte on June 22 at 84 years old.

The loss is a great one for Charlotte, as Tate’s fingerprints are across the entire state in the form of his two passions – real estate and economic development.

Tate was born on April 23, 1931, and raised in Gaffney, South Carolina. The real estate mogul opened the Allen Tate Company’s first location in 1957 at 112 S. Tryon St. as a “one-stop shop” for homeowners.

Since, Tate has grown the company to become the No. 1 real estate and homeownership company in the Carolinas and No. 7 in the nation among non-franchised, independent real estate companies.

While his burgundy and gold signs can be spotted in lawns across the area, Tate’s sphere of influence extends beyond the realms of the real estate market; Tate helped lead the effort for the completion of Interstate 485 and the widening of Interstate 85 in Cabarrus County.

The final segment of I-485’s outerbelt was named in Tate’s honor in March.

But his biggest accomplishment is summed up by Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) President Dr. Tony Zeiss: “he had a wonderful heart.”

Zeiss met Tate 23 years ago when he came to Charlotte to begin his role as CPCC President and Tate served on the college foundation board.

On May 28, Tate joined Zeiss on the campus to celebrate the installment of the Allen Tate Tower – a gift to the college from Tate. The tower stands 48 feet tall with a 144-square-foot-base and is constructed of cast stone and brick with a four-sided clock face at the top of the tower.

Zeiss said the gift echoes Tate’s generous spirit.

“Allen said to me, ‘Tony, I want to do something really nice for that Central campus,’” Zeiss recalled. “He said, ‘I went to Chapel Hill and we have the Old Well. People know it. We don’t have anything like that at Central Piedmont. Think of something and I want to do it.’” (see Allen Tate on page 8)

Novant donation to launch new degree program at CPCC

Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) will begin offering a biomedical equipment technology associate degree program during the fall semester as part of a $150,000 donation to the

college on behalf of Novant Health.

The program will instruct students in basic engineering principals and technical skills to install, operate, troubleshoot and repair sophisticated devices, according to a news release.

Students who earn an associate degree will be on track to become certified biomedical equipment technicians.

“The use of high-tech, sophisticated equipment in the U.S. health care industry is evolving and expanding at an exponential pace,” said Mike Hogan, CPCC associate dean of STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) programs, in the release. “The need for highly skilled and well-trained technicians to maintain such equipment is growing just as quickly.”

CPCC also is looking at developing an apprenticeship with local healthcare providers.

“Allen didn't shy away from big obstacles,” he said. “If it was growing his company into the largest residential real estate firm in the Carolinas, he was going to do it. If it was figuring out how to build a 66-mile outerbelt, he was going to work the legislators, the bureaucrats, the business community

and the citizens to get it done.”

The H. Allen Tate Jr. Highway runs from Old Statesville Road to I-85 and stretches nearly six miles.

It opened after much anticipation on June 5.

Tate’s legacy will continue as residents pass Allen Tate “For Sale” signs across Charlotte aresa neighborhoods or drive down his highway on their daily commute. But, both Zeiss and Curran said Tate’s legacy extends well beyond those boundaries.

“Allen will certainly leave a mark in Charlotte by the buildings and roads that bear his name,” Curran said. “But what may not be so obvious… is that his legacy will also be imparted in the literally thousands of people that he touched through his employees, his customers and the civic engagements he was involved in for decades – those people will be fully engaged because of the inspiration they found in him.”

“The people who know him know that his fingerprints are on practically every road and neighborhood in Charlotte,” Zeiss said. “He’s the one who had the vision for the loop. People will remember him for that. Others will remember him as an entrepreneur in residential real estate. But those who really worked with Allen and knew him will remember him for his big heart. He had a wonderful heart..”

Education

Driver’s Ed (continued from page 1)

have done away with driver’s education because no one understand it’s real purpose,” Williams said. “We need to keep some form of young driver education in place; driver’s education is a great start and allows us a chance to make an impact on young drivers when parents are less involved or less familiar with modeling the correct rules of the road.”

Williams believes some parents sign off on the supervised driver, without actually driving the required hours with their children.

Many driver’s education advocates worry skipping driver’s education sets students on a path toward unsafe driving, as parents can often pass their own driving habits, some negative, to their children. Teen drivers also are in the midst into what’s often considered the “100 Deadliest Days” for teen – the time between Memorial Day and Labor Day – where teen crash fatalities historically climb.

“We’re now in the height of our summer driving season. You have more teens than ever on the road,” said AAA Carolinas Pubic Relations Manager Tiffany Wright. “…Teens aren’t in school – they’re not at home doing homework. They’ve got a ton of free time on their hands. What are they doing? Hopping in their cars. They’re taking their friends in their cars. They’re driving to the beach.”

Fatal crash rates for 16- to 19-year-olds increase five times when two or more teen passengers are present, as they can be distracted by other teens, AAA Carolinas reported.

Sandy Ridge’s team included 33 third-, fourth- and fifth-grade students, who competed in a series of hands-on, inquiry-based competitions. The events involve a range of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields, including biology, earth science, environmental science, chemistry and physics.

“Inattention is one of the Top 3 reasons for crashes in Charlotte,” Williams said, “which is more than just cellphones … people are just not paying attention to the task of driving.”

Dr. John Jones, UCPS assistant superintendent of instructional programs, believes the district’s driver’s education provides a “safety counteractive” for its student drivers.

“We are able to provide coaching and experience as students take driver’s education with 36 hours of classroom instruction and 12 hours behind the wheel,” he said.

Jones said he’s found various studies that show driver’s education decreases teen crashes and supports its effectiveness.

“We really feel it offers them the safety practice,” he said.

Jones said if the state were to eliminate the driver’s education requirement, that safety component would be eliminated with it.

However, if the House and governor don’t eliminate driver’s education requirements, school districts must still determine how to carry out the unfunded mandate.

Approximately 2,800 students will complete driver’s education this year, but Jones said no driver’s education classes would be conducted this summer until the department knows the General Assembly’s actions.

“We have to know about funding to know about what’s next,” he said.

by Rev. Tony Marciano news@unioncountyweekly.com

My daughter could never be kidnapped – she leaves drinking glasses wherever she goes. I can tell where she has been the night before because there’s a string of glasses litRev. Tony tered around the Marciano house. How she uses so many in one night is beyond me. To find her, I just follow the trail.

Now, if I were kidnapped, it would be a different story. If I were put on TV and forced to say something, you’d hear me say, “I feel like I’m in ‘The Ransom of Red Chief.’” That’s code.

“The Ransom of Red Chief” is a short story I read in 10th grade. The plot revolves around several men who

kidnap a rambunctious 10-year-old boy. When the kidnappers contact the parents demanding a ransom, the parents reply, “You keep him. In fact, if you want us to take him back, you will have to pay us.” The story continues with the various attempts on the part of the kidnappers to return the boy, all while he makes their life a nightmare. They finally return him, exasperated from having to take care of him.

The kidnappers in the story initially wanted the relationship with the kidnapped boy less than his parents did. They didn’t care about him – he was a tool to secure ransom money. When the parents told the kidnappers to keep their son, the tables turned. At that point, who wanted the relationship the least? The parents, and they owned the relationship.

In difficult family situations, there’s often one person who wants the relationship more. They are willing to sacrifice everything to help a loved one who is in crisis due to his or her bad choices.

The person causing grief wants the relationship the least, and owns it. Often,

My daughter could never be kidnapped – she leaves a trail wherever she’s been the caregiver works and sacrifices everything thinking the person in crisis will respond to the kindness of their efforts.

They believe the other person will see their sacrifice and respond positively to these acts of mercy and compassion.

Instead, the person in crisis disrespects the sacrificing person, who then sacrifices more thinking it will finally bring respect. Instead, the disrespect continues to increase.

Just like in “The Ransom of Red Chief,” the relationship has to be reversed. I’ve learned that in difficult relationships, the “person who wants the relationship the least” owns it.

In my world of working with people with addictions, I’ve seen loved ones unable to say, “No,” to the person in their life who is in crisis. They continue to sacrifice while their loved one remains in active addiction. When they do learn to say, “No,” and learn that “no” is a full sentence, they can say, “No,” and still love the person in crisis. It is in saying, “No,” that the relationship is reversed.

Their loved one, whose world is spiraling

out of control, finally starts to seek the help they so desperately need.

A parent of a graduate of our Charlotte Rescue Mission said her response to her son in recovery has to be counterintuitive to what she would naturally do. Saying, “Yes,” and giving in to him to what he demanded seemed like love, but kept him in active addiction.

When she said, “No,” and allowed him to face the consequences of his destructive behavior he started to improve. I’ve watched this son thrive since his mother said, “No,” to him.

Remember, if I’m kidnapped, don’t send money. The kidnappers will have to pay my wife to take me off their hands.

I promise I’ll give them a run for their money.

I’ll be back in two weeks. Until then, live well, my friend.

Mavs complete epic season

by Ben Doster ben@unioncountyweekly.com

The United States Women’s National Soccer Team is heading to the finals of the World Cup. However, it may one day have to make room on its roster for future starts, a few of who may play for the Marvin Ridge Middle School girls’ soccer team that ran through Union County like a river that bursts through a levy.

Perfection is rarely attained in sports, or in anything for that matter, but Marvin Ridge Middle School’s girls’ soccer team reached it.

The Mavericks finished with an 11-0 record, and won the Union County championship after finishing as the runner-up the previous three seasons.

Marvin Ridge was dominant in every meaning of the word this season, which ended up being a record-setting one for Marvin Ridge this spring.

The Mavs made their hay on defense, where they were nearly flawless. They outscored their opponents a suffocating 36-1. Marvin Ridge averaged 3.27 goals per game, and yielded only 0.09 goals per game under the watchful eye of head coach Chris Araya.

He has been helping to build this program for five years. He just finished his

third season as the school’s head coach after serving two years as an assistant coach, and his hard work has paid off with the Mavericks finally getting over the hump.

“Marvin Ridge had an absolute exceptional team this year,” Araya said. “Each practice, each game I’d tell the girls it takes 11 players on the field at once to make it all happen. Whether you’re starting or coming off the bench it takes all of the team to make that happen.”

Araya had a roster chalk full of talent, which makes his job much easier.

However, the cream certainly rose to the top for the Mavs this season with emergence of defender Kendi Deveaux, striker/defender Lauren Araya,

WAXHAW – Marvin Ridge’s Clare Murphy is a passionate player on and off of the lacrosse field. Her drive to be the best gives her the edge she needs. Murphy is now the Union County Weekly’s Girls’ Lacrosse Player of the Year.

Murphy had an eye for the goal, as she netted 56 goals, and dished out 11 assists for the Mavericks. Her stellar play came with the opportunity to play college lacrosse at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) next year, which will be the program’s inaugural season.

One of the significant aspects to Murphy’s senior season success was her relationship with her new coach, Doug Little.

“I think my senior year was one of the better seasons that I’ve had,” Murphy said. “I think a lot of it has to do with Coach Doug coming in. Before, we

had a very laid back team style and then when he came in he kind of put us on a different gear and got us going.”

Coach Little’s philosophy going into the season was fairly simple.

“If you’re going to play, you might as well have a heck of a lot of fun doing it,” said Little.

Murphy was a senior captain on the Mavericks team, and took her role very seriously.

“I’m definitely a tough love kind of person,” she said. “I think everyone needs to earn their spot. You can’t just walk on a team and be the top dog.”

Murphy looked to Little often to help her hone her leadership skills as a captain.

“He was really big on putting it all out there for your team,” Murphy said. “As a captain I would tell the team that they need to do it for the team and nobody else. That way everybody goes a lot harder for each other.”

The defining moment of her Murphy’s tenure as captain occurred when tragedy struck the team. On March 25, 2015, assistant coach Jeff Aten died.

“I sadly was the one that had to tell all the girls,” said Murphy. “I just had to sit there and hold them. I had to be the shoulder to cry on. Coach afterward told me that I had to be the wall and when I was about to crash to go to him.

I just had to put on a face.”

As superb as Murphy was on the field, her work off the field as a captain was equally impressive. She believes her experiences with her teammates this year will help her in her future at VCU. “I’ve really learned how to be part of a team,” she said. “The Marvin Ridge community and the girls have taught me that if you love your team you’re going to do great.”
