MATTHEWS – There’s a new restaurant opening in Matthews dedicated entirely to chicken salad… and now we’ve officially seen it all. Chicken Salad Chick, a Southern-inspired, fast casual restaurant serving up 12 types of chicken salad, will open Sept. 11 in Sycamore Commons on Matthews Township Parkway. The first guest in line on opening day will receive one large “Quick Chick” of chicken salad per week for an entire year, while the next 99 guests will get a free large “Quick Chick” of chicken salad per month. Any guest not part of the first 100 in line can make a purchase and enter to win free chicken salad for a year. There will also be other giveaways and specials throughout the week. Not a fan of chicken salad? Owner
Jennifer Dennis says don’t knock it ‘til you try it. The menu offers a dozen original flavors from Classic Carol (all white meat shredded chicken, finely minced celery, mayo and secret seasoning) to Kickin’ Kay Lynne (chicken salad with buffalo sauce, ranch, bacon, shredded cheddar, jalapeños and Sriracha). There’s also egg salad, pimento cheese, broccoli salad, grape salad, mac and cheese, soups, salads, desserts and signature sandwiches like the pimento cheese BLT and the turkey pesto. Dennis likes the Fruity Fran (chicken salad with Fuji apples, seedless grapes and pineapple), while her assistant manager, Robin Boulware, likes the grape salad (red and white seedless grapes covered in a sweet cream cheese mixture and topped with brown sugar and crushed pecans).

Matthews reps visit sister city MATTHEWS – Mayor Paul Bailey, Commissioner Barbara Dement, Commissioner Jeff Miller and Town Manager Hazen Blodgett recently traveled to sister city Sainte-Maxime, France. “We enjoyed a terrific visit to Sainte-Maxime and appreciated learning more about their culture and traditions, as well as honoring the 75th anniversary of D-Day,” Bailey said. “It is important to continue the strong partnership between us.” During their visit, Bailey, Dement and Miller signed a declaration reaffirming the partnership. The original declaration was signed in 2015 when Sainte-Maxime officials visited Matthews. The group marked the 75th anniversary of the Allied landings in the area by paying tribute to fallen soldiers. The group also attended a parade of restored wartime vehicles through the streets of Sainte-Maxime. Town representatives paid for their own travel and accommodations.

CHICK (continued from page 1A)
“Most people never heard of grape salad, but it’s really good,” Boulware said. Dennis learned about Chicken Salad Chick from her husband, Mark, who tried it on a business trip in Alabama. He thought she would like it and took her to the nearest location at 7617 Pineville-Matthews Road in south Charlotte. She was instantly obsessed. “I’m very particular about chicken salad and it was amazing,” Dennis said. “He didn’t think when he took me out to lunch that I was going to be like, ‘Wow. This is something we could do.’ He was literally just taking me to lunch.” The Indian Trail couple is well versed in franchising. They own a premier early education and childcare concept called Primrose School at Austin Village, located at 5407 Potter Road in Matthews. Dennis said they were interested in diversifying their portfolio into the fast-casual foodservice industry and opening a Chicken Salad Chick franchise “just felt right.” “It’s not just a quick service restaurant,” she said. “Our customers feel happy, feel welcome and we deliver their food in a way that makes them feel special and I think that’s the difference. I believe the meal is not only the food – it’s the experience.” The Chicken Salad Chick concept was started in 2008 by Stacy Brown, a stay-athome mom from Auburn, Alabama. As the story goes, Brown had always been on a quest to find the perfect chicken salad. One day, she set to work perfecting her own recipe, recruiting her family and neighbors to taste-test, before arriving at “the one.” She dropped off samples in teachers’ lounges and hair salons, and then started selling door-to-door. Orders poured in and Chicken Salad Chick was born. Brown eventually stopped cooking out of her home kitchen and opened a small takeout restaurant. In 2015, Eagle Merchant Partners purchased a majority stake in Chicken Salad Chick and now there are more than 125 Chicken Salad Chick restaurants in 15 states. The Matthews location is the brand’s third Charlotte-area restaurant and fifth overall in the state. An additional location in Wilmington is slated to open later this year. Dennis’ restaurant is nestled between Massage Envy and Qdoba, in the former home of Grapes Wine Bar. She said she chose Sycamore Commons because of the

CHARLOTTE – QuikTrip is bringing back pumpkin-flavored drinks and snacks to stores. Snacks include the Pumpkin Pie Bismark, Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffin and Pumpkin Pretzel, a warm, soft pretzel topped with a cinnamon and sugar blend and stuffed with pumpkin filling. Soft-serve options include the Pumpkin QuikShake and Pumpkin Twister. Seasonal coffee items include the Pumpkin Frappe, Pumpkin Lattes and Cold Brew Coffee.

high vehicle and foot traffic, plus Matthews has the right demographics of chicken salad lovers, which are mostly women. “This is a great community and there’s nothing else like that here, so I thought it’d be unique to the community,” Dennis said. “Matthews is growing, but it still feels like a small town. It’s not so commercialized, so to speak,” Boulware added. “This is a great additive to the area because it’s something different.” Construction on the restaurant started in July, and crews are working hard to get it up and running for opening day. Boulware said it’s been a lot of hard work, but she’s excited for all the pieces to finally come together. “When I saw the pictures going up on the walls the other day, I almost had tears,” she said.”
As a general manager at Zaxby’s for 10 years, Boulware hopes to bring her networking, customer service, organizational and management skills to Chicken Salad Chick. She said she’s looking forward to finally serving everyone in the community who she’s met over the summer while spreading the word about the grand opening. “People are really excited, and we are too,” she said. Want to go? Chicken Salad Chick is located at 2233 Matthews Township Parkway in Matthews. It will be open Monday through Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.chickensaladchick.com or follow @chickensaladchick on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

YMCA of Greater Charlotte wants to ensure kids stay active this fall CHARLOTTE – September marks Childhood Obesity Awareness Month, and as a leading voice for youth development and healthy living, the YMCA of Greater Charlotte offers ways to prevent and combat this serious health issue. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one in five children in the United States is considered obese, putting them at a higher risk than their peers for serious health conditions and growing into adults who are more at risk for type 2 diabetes, heart disease and many types of cancers. “Childhood obesity has generational impact that extends into adulthood and impacts families and communities,” said Adrianne Hobbs, executive director of youth development for YMCA of Greater Charlotte. “At the Y, we’re committed to teaching and showing kids and families the power of healthy habits, including diet, positive food choices, outdoor time, exercise and more. Healthy kids grow into healthy adults.” While healthy habits begin at home, families often need community support to be successful. The Y aims to make healthy living approachable, affordable and accessible. The sooner kids start developing healthy habits, the more likely they are to avoid obesity-related health problems and grow into healthy adults. The following tips are some great ways to incorporate healthier eating habits and more physical activity into your daily family routine: • Eat & Drink Healthy: Make water the drink of choice and encourage everyone to fill half their plates with fruits and vegetables by offering two or three colorful options at every meal. As a family, choose a new fruit and veggie every week to taste together. Place a full pitcher of water on the table during meals and allow children to pour their own water. Keep water bottles available in the car and back packs. • Play Every Day/Go Outside: Children should have at least an hour

a day of unstructured play outside (when possible) and break a sweat at least three times a week by getting 20 minutes or more of vigorous physical activity. Join your children in games that get your hearts pumping and bodies moving. • Get Together: Eat as a family as frequently as possible. Involve kids in meal planning, preparation and clean up. In addition, adults should take a break from electronics and spend one-to-one time each day with their kids, enjoying one another’s company. • Reduce Recreational Screen Time: Time spent in front of a television, computer, tablet, cell phone or video games should be limited to two hours or less per day. Make a family plan to reduce screen time at home (i.e. turn off screens during meals, charge electronics in the kitchen overnight, go for a walk after a meal). • Sleep Well: Kids and adults need

to keep a regular sleep schedule; unwind together in the evenings by reading a book or listening to soft music to ensure the body is preparing for sleep. Kids are growing and need 10 to 12 hours of healthy sleep per night and seven to eight hours for adults. September means back to school and as kids return to the classroom, it can be challenging to keep up the level of activity they had during the summer. The YMCA of Greater Charlotte is aiming to keep kids moving during out-of-school time, through both afterschool and sports programs that provide exercise, create healthy habits and build confidence. With afterschool programs that support kids with homework, healthy snacks and a wide array of activities, kids get guidance for living a balanced life outside of school.

Here are my picks for Week 3 matchups across the region Marvin Ridge (1-0) at Ardrey Kell (1-1) Ardrey Kell looked like they put it all together in a blowout win over East Meck, but this will be a much bigger test.

Young Butler team gaining experience, confidence by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
MATTHEWS – The Butler volleyball team opened the season with a 3-0 win over Olympic, but the Bulldogs have encountered a tough schedule, dropping five in a row and four of their past five games without winning a set. It looks bad, but better times are on the way. At times, it feels like you can literally see it coming. Take Butler’s home match with regional power Providence on Aug. 29 for example. The Bulldogs didn’t win a set, losing all three by scores of 25-11. The Panthers are

more talented and dominated for the most part, but there were glimpses where loose balls were turned into spectacular saves and big-hit putaways sparked mini-runs. There were other times, though, where the ball would drop in between players, sets would be ineffective and too many unforced errors plagued the Bulldogs and crushed any momentum. But for second-year coach Sarah Robertson, it’s a work in progress for a team that starts two sophomores and lost five heavily counted on starters from last season. “I saw effort tonight and I cannot ask see VOLLEYBALL, Page 2B
Charity founder realizes soccer dream 24 Hours of Booty founder inks one-day pro contract CHARLOTTE – Spencer Lueders is known for founding the 24 Hours of Booty charity cycling and walking event, which along with 24 Foundation’s other events, has raised more than $22 million to impact the lives of those affected by cancer. But the lifelong soccer player always had a dream of playing at the professional level. “I’ve known Spencer for years through his work with 24 Foundation and other community initiatives,” said Casey Carr, Stumptown Athletic president and general manager. “And while I knew he played in college at South Carolina, I didn’t know until recently that he dreamed of playing at the professional level.” Lueders realized part of that dream Aug. 29 when he signed a one-day contract with Stumptown Athletic, the Charlotte area’s new professional soccer

club. He participated in the team’s tryouts in early August. “I started playing soccer when I was 4 years old and have played for my entire life,” Lueders said. “I love great soccer and I’m excited about a new professional team coming to the area, especially with its focus on developing young players and investing in the local community. I couldn’t pass up the chance to try out for a pro team.” Stumptown Athletic held the official signing ceremony at Freedom Park. Lueders signed the contract and received the team’s first official jersey. Although Lueders participated in a tough round of tryouts, he realized taking the pro field as a seasoned adult may not be the best idea. After talking see SOCCER, Page 3B

Charlotte Christian (1-1) at Pace Academy (1-1) Charlotte Christian doesn’t get blown out and embarrassed at home the way they were last week, although starting quarterback Matthew Tuomala and running back Henry Rutledge missed the game. They’ll head to Atlanta to get back on track this week. Winner: Charlotte Christian Hammond (1-1) at Country Day (2-0) Quentin Cooper has run for over 100 yards in both Country Day wins, Stephen Payne has an interception on defense and is averaging 25 yards per catch, Andrew Wilks is leading the D and the Bucs are 2-0, although they’ve had little resistance. Hammond likely won’t provide much either. Winner: Country Day Charlotte Latin (2-0) at Catawba Ridge (2-0) Catawba Ridge is the feelgood story of S.C. as Fort Mill’s newest school is 2-0 and playing well. Latin is 2-0, but lost starting QB Jake Helfrich for the year. Playing in a hostile place in your first start isn’t the spot to break see PICKS, Page 3B
Super 7: Week 3 serves as redemption period for region’s top football teams 1. Myers Park (1-0) Last Week: Bye This week: Providence (1-1) The Mustangs put 42 points on Olympic and shut them out on the other side of the ball. Last week, they sat back and watched some carnage fall below them in the Super 7, even further strengthening their stranglehold atop these rankings. Talk is already starting to brew around the city of this maybe being the historically good team that finally gets coach
Scott Chadwick the state-wide recognition he so deserves. Time will tell, but Providence is in the way this week with the Mustangs coming off a bye. Good luck. 2. Charlotte Catholic (1-1) Last week: Lost, 7-0, to Good Counsel This week: Archbishop Rummel (La.) (1-0) Holy cow, the Cougars lost! That in it of itself is news as it’s been awhile
– over a calendar year since they lost to Charlotte Christian. This one was a slugfest as Charlotte Catholic battled Good Counsel, a team ranked No. 39 in the nation according to Maxpreps. com, to a 7-0 near draw. A third quarter TD proved to be the difference. The defense is certainly good once again, but if Catholic can’t throw it better, they at times can be exposed by elite defenses. They should rebound, see SUPER 7, Page 2B
Butler’s offense, led by quarterback Parish Metzger (9), struggled early in Butler’s loss to Mallard Creek last week. This week, they have a short turnaround as they travel to Richmond, a team that’s outscored its opponents 81-2 so far this season. Andrew Stark/MMHW photo

but little is known of their out-of-state opponent this week. 3. Charlotte Christian Last week: Lost, 56-6, to Valor Christian This week: at Pace Academy (Ga.) (1-1) Holy cow, the Knights lost! That in it of itself is news as it’s been over two calendar years since they lost to Charlotte Catholic. But I could not believe my eyes when I saw that score. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that coaching staff would ever give up that many points, but accidents happen. Little is known of Atlanta-based Pace Academy. I hate that’s all they can schedule, but I’ll bet this team is laser focused no matter if they have to play another game without their starting running back and quarterback.
Independence made an emphatic statement in its home opener by blowing out South Meck, 42-7, a week after upsetting North Meck on the road. Junior quarterback Arnold Taylor (No. 4) threw 199 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another in the rout. Senior receivers Brian Morgan (1 catch, 32 yards) and Trevor Bryan (2 catches, 103 yards and two touchdowns) hauled in the scores. Junior running back Davion Nelson (right) ran for 62 yards and a score while sophomore reserve Khalil Morrison added 63 yards and a touchdown. Defensively, the Patriots overwhelmed South Meck in every facet of the game. The Patriots have a real shot at 3-0 when Olympic comes calling this week. Andrew Stark/MMHW photos

for more than that, especially against a very tough opponent like we faced,” she said after the Providence loss. “We’re starting to click and come together as a result of working together every day. They are so young, and they’re very coachable. They’re making changes to their games and are starting to see it transition into a game-type situation.” Butler has just nine players on the roster, but Robertson said that’s fine with her. She looks to shape the Bulldogs back into a team that finished 9-5 and third in the Southwestern 4A a year ago. This team is potentially taking a similar track to last year when the Bulldogs started 0-3, but rallied to win six of

their first seven conference games. “Our schedule is tough and we are packed with some of the powerhouse teams in the region and in the area and especially early,” Robertson said. “When it comes to conference phase, we should very much be prepared for the teams that are still in the developing stages like us. We need to handle the teams that are supposed to be a win for us and make sure they’re a win on our score sheet.” But, Robertson knows, to keep improving and winning when it matters is a process, and one the Bulldogs are improving every day. “One thing I’ve been promoting the past couple of games is working on consistency and our skills,” Robertson said. “Being consistent is our goal for the season, but consistency, communication and commitment to win-
ning have been our three things we’ve been talking about. Commitment to winning is things like not letting the ball drop. It means busting your butt to get to the corner to get that ball in the air. We’ve been trying to get those three things into one or at least make it very hard for them to put the ball down, and we’re getting there.” With stars Rebecca Ryan, Amanda Salas and Annabeth Teifer all playing well, Butler broke their five-game slide with a 3-0 shutout over Rocky River to earn their first conference win, a welcome sight for Robertson and her young team. “I’m really proud of the maturity of this squad,” she said. “We’re young and we’re learning, but doing it together. I have two sophomores starting … and our team is supporting that youth and are on board with what we’re doing.”

4. Butler Last week: Lost, 33-17, to Mallard Creek This week: at Richmond (2-0) The Bulldogs came back late in their loss last week, but it was too little too late and only made the score look a little more bearable. Butler was beaten badly in all three phases of the game in a hostile environment at Mallard Creek, who has had the Bulldogs’ number in recent years. Unfortunately, the Bulldogs can’t come up for air just yet as a game originally scheduled for next week will be played now. And by the way, Richmond has outscored its opponents 81-2 this season. 5. Providence Day (2-0 Last week: Beat Rabun Gap 43-7

in a backup. Winner: Catawba Ridge Pine Lake Prep (2-0) at Covenant Day (0-2) Covenant Day got a week to regroup after a tough start against NCISAA Division II powers Country Day and Latin. The Pride love to run the football and will test David Billiard and the Lions’ line, but the 1A school has a history of success and will be a challenge. Winner: Pine Lake Prep Independence (2-0) at Olympic (1-1) Independence’s offense was supposed to be good and has been, but that defense is turning some heads – mine included – with the way they dominated South Meck. Olympic was smothered by Myers Park in Week 1 but got back on track last week. Winner: Independence
This week: Bye The Chargers mauled Rabun Gap last week and certainly look the part. However, I’m not quite ready to move them up into the Big Four just yet because I want to see them play somebody on their level. Unfortunately, the Chargers are off this week and then play Timberland the week after. It will be more than a month into the season until they are a proven commodity, but I like what I’ve seen so far. 6. Ardrey Kell (1-1) Last week: Beat East Meck 35-7 This week: Marvin Ridge (1-0) Congrats to Greg Jachym, a longtime Ardrey Kell assistant who picked up his first career coaching win in last week’s victory over hapless East Meck. Bigger tests await, beginning with Marvin Ridge this week, but there is plenty to like here. The Knights delivered after getting Weddington in Week 1. 7. Charlotte Latin (2-0) Last week: Beat Carolina Bobcats 50-6 This week: At Catawba Ridge (2-0) The Hawks have looked good in two schedule-filler wins, but a much bigger test awaits for the Hawks, especially after they lost quarterback Jake Helfrich for the remainder of the season. They’ll have to rally around each other and fast as Catawba Ridge is off to a 2-0 start as Fort Mill’s newest public school. This will be a test to say the least. Also receiving votes: Independence (2-0) Check back every week during the season for new Super 7 rankings.
Providence (1-1) at Myers Park (1-0) Providence came back down after an opening night win, but the Panthers have lots of talent. However, no team in the state may have as much talent and be as deep in their top dozen players as Myers Park. Winner: Myers Park Mallard Creek (1-0-1) at Rocky River (0-1) Defense was the name of the game for Rocky River, who held Huss to zero offensive points. However, the Ravens threw a pick-6 interception that did them in during the 7-3 loss. Winner: Mallard Creek Weddington (2-0) at South Meck (0-2) Weddington is the defending 3-AA champs and have come out rolling behind all-world running back Will Shipley, who will be worth the price of admission. The way South Meck played last week, they’re offense may not. Winner: Weddington

with Stumptown Athletic’s coach and other players, he announced plans to immediately retire and join the organization as its community ambassador. “It’s been a great run, and I’m proud of what I’ve achieved over my pro career,” he said with a laugh. “But it’s time to step down and focus on other priorities.” Although Lueders signed the pro contract, he didn’t expect to also take the field with the team. “Now that you’re on the team, I’m putting you to work,” head coach Mark Steffens said. “You’ll be a pro player for a few more hours, because you’re playing in our scrimmage Friday night.” Carr said he understood Lueders’ decision to retire from pro play, and was happy to keep him on the team as the community ambassador. “While we’ve spent time talking about the game, we’ve also spent a lot of time talking about the impact we could have together. This is an incredible opportunity for Stumptown Athletic and our local community.” Lueders donated his one-day salary to the 24 Foundation. Carr surprised him by adding an immediate donation from Stumptown Athletic in Lueders’ name. Stumptown Athletic will also donate 5% of all tickets sold for its inaugural fall season to the 24 Foundation.
