MONROE – Filming for a new original teen drama, “Salem High,” will start March 8 throughout the Charlotte region. The show is about Conner Byrne and his circle of powerful friends. Conner is a witch who craves normalcy, but his friends, the Keepers of the Earth, must protect the planet and its magical vortex gateway from being taken over by the dark ones. They must use their powers to push back the evil while finding time to go to Friday night football games. KP Films in Monroe is producing the series, which will film at a home on Franklin Street and Forest Hills High School in Monroe, Carrigan Farms in Mooresville and Winthrop University in Rock Hill. Show writer and creator Eric Glawe said “Salem High” has elements of shows such as “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Charmed,” which use supernatural elements to explore everyday life and issues, like breaking down gender roles and racial stigmas. “When you get into high school, at some point, your family isn't who you thought they were. And so your friends start becoming your family,” Glawe said. “I love supernatural ideas. And with science fiction, horror and supernatural shows, it's so easy to be able to talk about everyday life, growing up and social issues.” The show also takes from Mesopotamian mythology, paganistic

When things aren’t going well in our community, our first impulse has traditionally been to get upset. Our second impulse has been to look for someone to blame. Typically, we may point the finger at government: Why, we demand, aren’t they making progress on ___ (insert the painful issue of the moment here)? This approach is counterproductive – and communities are realizing there is a much better way. There really is no they; there is only we. Getting angry at “them” solves nothing, and the community continues to hurt. When citizens get engaged and take ownership of the issues, big progress happens and it happens fast. Struggling communities can’t wait on government to fix their problems. This is true even in the best of times, and with the highly complex issues today’s communities face, it’s even more so. Elected officials are short on resources; plus, they move in and out of projects due to the election cycle. If there’s to be sustainable progress, it must be driven by private citizens. In other words: Don’t get enraged. see ENGAGED, Page 4A

by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

WAXHAW – Trey Kavanaugh has always just wanted a chance. After growing up in Atlanta, his parents got divorced and he moved to Boone to stay with his grandparents. There, he had a “decent” high school football career that he parlayed into a fouryear career at Appalachian State. Straight out of college he got an assistant job at East Carolina, but when Ruffin McNeill was fired, Kavanaugh was out of work. He took a corporate sports job, but knew his heart wasn’t in it. Kavanaugh soon sent out resume letters

to most area high schools, but only one replied. Despite not having a full-time job – he was substitute teaching wherever he could within Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools – Kavanaugh jumped at the chance to be a receiver coach at Ardrey Kell. “I wasn’t even getting a stipend that first year, but I sacrificed that job where I was making pretty decent money to do what I loved,” he said. “And it turned out to be a great thing.” Kavanaugh called the JV’s offense his first season in 2016. The next year, he got a job at Ardrey Kell and began calling the varsity’s offense. Last season, he called some plays and coached the JV team. see KAVANAUGH, Page 3A

INDIAN TRAIL – The second annual Common Heart Hunger Walk raised more than $33,000 to feed hungry families in the community. That's enough to provide a week's worth of groceries to more than 1,320 local families in need, according to Kara Lopp, fundraising manager. The nonprofit typically feeds 800 family each month through its seven food pantries.

Union Academy was misidentified in last week's feature, “Union County's 50 Most Powerful Women.” The school's headmaster, Ann Walters, was recognized for her leadership.

1A play since going 24-3 last season with their nucleus of Mya Manivanh, Savanna Brooks and MiKayla Smith. Last season, they bowed out in the second round, but vowed to make this their year. After losing their third game of the season to Cuthbertson, the Cardinals reeled off 21 consecutive wins before getting tripped up by LangTree Charter in the PAC-8 conference championship. The loss may have refocused the Cardinals, who have looked impressive in the playoffs. They steamrolled Andrews 72-40 in the opening round, blew past Pine Lake Prep, 61-45 in the second round and defeated Gray Stone Day 24-15 in the third round. However, they lost to East Surry 64-47 in the Elite Eight to finish the season 27-3.

Indian Trail Founders Day honors Vickery family INDIAN TRAIL – The Indian Trail Town Council recently recognized the work of the late Lane Vickery, her husband, Larry, and her family to make the town a better place. The former councilwoman, who passed away in 2017, championed the arts and literacy in the community. She also worked to protect the appearance and beautification of the Indian Trail cemetery and served in numerous civic groups, such as the Union West Rotary Club. The council read a proclamation in her honor as part of Founders Day 2019, which celebrates Indian Trail's 112th birthday.

Union Academy’s MiKayla Smith leads the Cardinals in points (19.9), assists (5.2) and steals (5.0) per game. She tallied 25 points, nine rebounds, seven assists and five steals in the opening round of the playoffs. Andrew Stark/UCW photo

rituals and of course, the Salem Witch Trials. “I have a whole season one arc that brings in elements of the Salem Witch Trials,” Glawe said. “Because that's what started my inspiration, about what happened in Salem and how people can accuse anybody of anything is just horrible.” “Salem High” will be Glawe's first show. He has been working on the story for three years as a graduate student at the University of California in Los Angeles. While attending a writers workshop in North Carolina, Glawe met with KP Films co-owners Patti Price and Michael Klug. “We loved the script,” Price said. “We said to ourselves, 'Oh my gosh, this needs to be made.' The writing was so good, and I couldn't wait to see what happens next.” Since opening what they thought would be a simple office space to hold their daughter's film equipment, the husbandand-wife duo has filmed three short films and a music video that was recently accepted to a film festival. This series will be not only a first for Glawe but also KP Films, as well. After meeting with Price and Klug, Glawe partnered with the studio along with production associates in Los Angeles. “There are about 30 people in our film crew,” Klug said. “It's technically a bi-coastal crew because of his connections in the LA area coming in and mixing with the North Carolina people.” The budget is estimated to be $20,000. Klug believes they might need to go over the budget after factoring in travel and special effects. If the pilot is accepted, Glawe is hoping season one will have roughly eight to nine episodes. “We doing a combination of practical effects, pyrotechnics, and we are combining that with computerized special effects,”

So, at 26 years old, the Cuthbertson job is his first, but it seems like the perfect fit for him. “It’s not a lot different here than it was when I first started at Ardrey Kell,” he said. “ I think that’s helped me in this process and why I was hired because of the similarities we have. Two years ago we were in the dumps – and even last year we started 0-5 – but our kids battled through adversity and we won out and won our conference championship. “Here at Cuthbertson, nobody was OK with the results, but it’s not a program in shambles. It’s not a broke-down village. Coach (David) Johnson did a great job, the kids all liked him and the transition has been smooth because of the job he did.” As for those who think a coach less than 10 years older than his players would be too inexperienced, they don’t know his background. When Kavanaugh moved in with his grandfather in Boone, he was living with Jerry Moore, Appalachian State’s long-time head coaching legend who won three national titles with the Mountaineers and orchestrated the famous win at Michigan. “I would tricycle around the field house, be in meeting rooms and was always around the game,” he said. “I don’t know if there are any younger than me, but I think the coaching game is a youth movement right now ... You look right up the road and Andy Capone was 26 or 27 when he took the Weddington job and he just won a state championship. You don’t want to get age confused with experience. “My high school years weren’t like a regular kid. My Saturdays were spent in film rooms with coaches who have backgrounds most high-schoolers don’t have. My years on Earth have been a little different than most people.” While Kavanaugh is full of energy, youth, knowledge and more

Price said. “There's so much talent in the Carolinas, and we want to show that and bring that back. A lot of things have left to go to Georgia. We want to keep people here. We want to keep producing here to help the economy in North Carolina.” A few of the many talents in the Carolinas, includes the drama students who are attending Winthrop University. These students

will portray the central circle of friends. Glawe said he's open to any network accepting the pilot; however, he admits the show leans more toward networks such as Free Form and The CW. If a network accepts the pilot, audiences can look forward to plenty of tongue-in-cheek dialogue, as well deeply emotional moments.

THE TAILGATING EVENT OF THE YEAR!

experience than it would appear, there is still the issue of playing the Southern Carolinas Conference that includes state champion Weddington and Charlotte Catholic, among other powerhouses. Last season, the Cavs went 3-8 and will graduate their top passer, top four receivers, three leading tacklers and top two running backs. “That is going to be tough right now filling this team, but it’s also a blessing,” Kavanaugh said. “We’re establishing the youth movement and will have to have young guys step up. We play in the toughest conference in the state, we play with two state champions and you look at all of these things that make it seem like a challenge and negative, but it's really opportunities. Everything that can be turn into negatives, we’re going to turn into positives ...We’re going to try relentlessly hard to be positive in everything that we do.” He knows winning may not come immediately, but it’s all about a process. Kavanaugh said he hasn’t fully filled out his coaching staff yet, but likes some of the current Cav assistants and anyone who is positive and can buy into what he’s trying to do. Although he expects to improve upon last season immediately, one thing Kavanaugh is particularly excited about is the middle school program, which unlike CMS, is all in one location. Once they start filtering onto varsity is when Kavanaugh said the biggest differences will be felt. “Once you see those middle-schoolers and JV kids start developing on the varsity is when you’ll really see my footprint,” he said. “You want instant results, but in three to five years we want to at least be in the discussion of winning conference championships “Obviously you have Catholic who has been doing their thing since before I was born. In five years, we’re still going to be a young program – it’s only 10 years old right now – but we want to be going the right way and have that momentum showing.”

been fiscally responsible for a long time.” Dunn said the town could have paid for the building out-right, but chose to finance it and pay the debt off quickly. The town hall will be 4,953 square feet, and the new Public Works building will measure 2,675 square feet. Dunn said the extra space was needed for expansion. “The town has grown, population-wise, 13,000 to about 17,000. I’m not a big fan of building government buildings to house government, but we implemented a public works department, we expanded a lot of services that the town does and needs. So when you do that, you need space.”

Get engaged. I’ve seen more and more communities come to realize revitalization is the job of ‘we the people. It’s a big trend, and it’s taking place all across the country. And the first step is a mindset shift. Citizens start to think: What can I do to reinvent my community, to make it a great place to work, live, and play? Here are 10 ways you can get more engaged in your own community:

During the March 3 ceremony, Town Manager Alex Sewell talked about the importance of the project. Dante Miller/UCW photo

1. Shift your mindset to one of ownership. The first step in getting engaged is to make this your mantra: “My community is my responsibility. Every child is my child.” This mental shift changes a lot of things. You’ll stop thinking only about things that directly affect you and your family and start thinking about the needs of others. You’ll start feeling a sense of responsibility for the well-being of all citizens. This mindset is crucial for a vibrant community. 2. Educate yourself on your community. Maybe you’ve never paid much attention to your community’s economic conditions, culture, demographic trends, social networks, or political and power structures. It’s time to change this. Brush up on the local history. If you don’t already read the local paper, start. As you’re doing your research, write down a list of questions you have and seek out the answers. Understanding the forces that are impacting your community will help you formulate smart strategies for change. 3. Make sure your information is accurate. This is key to good decision-making. Do your homework and bring in experts if necessary. Also, know that there’s almost always misinformation floating around about community issues. This may sway people to oppose needed changes, so correct it whenever you hear it. 4. Educate yourself on the processes through which decisions are made. Know how your local government works and what you can do to effect change. In Pensacola, the Center for Civic Engagement teaches citizens how government works and how to advocate for change. The center offers courses for local leaders and citizens who want to be a part of creating a vibrant community, but the hope is to expand to attract regional and national participants. 5. Join your neighborhood association. This is a great way to get to know your neighbors and their issues. You’ll instantly become

part of an engaged group of citizens who care about the community. If you can join the board or some other leadership group, so much the better. Generally, if you’re willing to step up and work hard, the group will be grateful to hand over the responsibility. 6. Build relationships with the other deeply engaged and committed people. Don’t just focus on formal leaders who have the “right” title. Informal leaders – often business leaders, educators, physicians and others who are highly visible and respected in the community – are a powerful group. By leveraging and mobilizing these leaders up front, you’ll be far more likely to get the momentum you need to create change. 7. Show up. Look for meetings you can attend. Research when and where your local government meets. Find causes and groups in your community that are important to you and find out when they meet. Most of us have limited time and must pick and choose carefully, but almost everyone can find time to attend a meeting or two a month. 8. Partner with other groups. Are there any strong national groups that share your common interest? Connect with them to see if you can establish a local branch in your community or at least benefit from some helpful tips or best practices. This can make your job much, much easier. Collaboration between groups is no longer a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have. 9. Ask politicians the tough questions and keep on asking. Why are neighborhood groups sometimes the last to know when government makes changes or funds projects that impact them directly? Or what is the process for establishing a city or county budget, and how does that budget process support or exclude the public? In the same way that you seek to be transparent, so should elected officials. Most will want a chance to explain the decision-making process. 10. Don’t underestimate the power of small acts of engagement. Look around your own neighborhood. Is there an elderly homeowner who needs help with yard work? Could you organize a cleanup day with other neighbors? Is there a sick or homebound neighbor who needs help with meals? Perhaps a few neighbors could take turns cooking for him. This is a great way to engage the people who live around you. About the Book: “Building a Vibrant Community: How Citizen-Powered Change Is Reshaping America” is available at Amazon.com.

Being an advocate for what you believe in is one way to improve your community. Here, residents participate in Common Heart Hunger Walk on March 3 at Crooked Creek Park in Indian Trail. Dante Miller/UCW photo

With 150+ camps, Country Day helps keep summer fresh Camps taught by faculty, cover sports, arts & science by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com

Kids who attend Country Day summer camps not only make new friends, but also create strong bonds with their counselors. Photo courtesy of Country Day

CHARLOTTE – Charlotte Country Day offers more than 150 unique summer camps running from June 3 to Aug. 9 and ranging the gamut of subjects, including sports, arts, drama, cooking, video game development, robotics and science. Many of the camps are instructed by Country Day’s most esteemed faculty members and include full-day and half-day camps with morning or afternoon options. “There is a club for mid-

dle-schoolers mostly, the Trailblazers and Adventure camps,” said Beverley Johnson, director of coordinate programs. “They just experience Charlotte in different ways. Those are two of the really great ones.” The Camp Summer Fest is another popular option, but Johnson said the school has added to some areas and improved others to make the offerings suited for any taste. “We have a lot more web programs, and we’re very excited about that. In the past, we’ve offered just a few, but this summer, we have offerings every single week during the

Muggsy Bogues reflects on special relationship with Queen City by Andrew Stark

CHARLOTTE – Former Charlotte Hornets great Muggsy Bogues is a special ambassador to the team, and played a huge role in the NBA All-Star Game. Bogues, who is 16th in NBA history in assists, is also holding his popular summer Bogues camps with the Town of Matthews. Sports Editor Andrew Stark recently caught up with Bogues to see what he’s been up to and share some nostalgia. Andrew Stark: Since retiring, you have done a number of things including coaching in the WNBA, at United Faith and currently serving as an ambassador for the Hornets. Aside from your role with the Hornets and your popular youth camps, how are you remaining involved in the game? Muggsy Bogues: I also actu-

ally serve as the ambassador for the NBA, where the game has become global in addition to my role with the Hornets.

Gone are the days of kids sitting on the couch, watching TV and aimlessly shuffling around the house until school starts again. The Town of Matthews is offering students in elementary and middle school the opportunity to combat the dog days of summer with camps that focus on sports, arts, cooking, math and science. While there are many to choose from, here are five summer camps that stand out:

AS: This is the 30th anniversary season. How fun has this been to see so many former teammates and have them celebrated? MB: It has been awesome seeing so many of my old teammates and friends. I am so grateful that the Hornets organization presented an opportunity for all of us to come together again. All-Star Weekend was a busy time, but it was a great experience hosting in my city. AS: Basketball has opened a lot of doors for you and given you a platform to inspire a whole new generation with your camps in Matthews. How important is it to you to give back to the kids and continue to be a big role model for so many people? MB: I am just following God’s plan by Him using me as a vessel to continue inspir-

six weeks of the summertime,” she said. “We are also offering more sports programs. We’ve always had the basic ones with football, basketball, baseball or whatever they were interested in, but now we’ve added a few more of those and we’ve also added a combination camp with football and baseball together for those interested in two separate sports.” Prices and times depend on which option is chosen, but there is a taste of everything sprinkled into the school’s extensive list of offerings.

COUNTRY DAY (continued from page 1B)

Here are a few that caught my eye: • Camp Summer Fest – The flagship camp that combines art, slime, crafts, science and so much more. In addition, there is a day for water fun, safari adventure, carnival days and even the crazy popular Wacky Wednesday. • Princesses and Superheroes – Save the world from evil-doers in this high-energy and interactive camp. Training combines cooperative games, team-building activities, literature, educational enrichment activities and craft projects. • Science Boot Camp – Designed for incoming ninth- and 10th-graders to get a leg up on upper school science, activities are focused on practical lab skills, the scientific method, how to analyze results and how to write lab reports. All materials are provided. • Middle School Sports Camp – This provides campers with the opportunity to participate in numerous sports, including basketball, flag football, baseball, soccer and track in a positive and fun environment.

• Camp Buccaneer – If fishing, sports, arts and crafts, a talent show and a trip to the water park sound fun, this is probably for you. Campers will also have theme days and special events that will make long-lasting summer memories while improving self esteem, self confidence and resilience. • Camp Trailblazer – Hiking, biking, rafting and kayaking are camp traditions, but other outdoor adventures, such as ropes courses, rock climbing, and zip-lining will be explored. The camp require moderate exertion and a sufficient level of physical fitness. • Thinking Feet: Website design – Campers build games, animations and applications using MIT’s Scratch platform and see creations come to life immediately in front of their eyes. Challenges are abound to keep both beginner and advanced programmers engaged and learning. Johnson said no matter which option is right for a particular family, all of the camps have a common theme. “We are looking for kids to enjoy the summer and learn a lot in what they participate in, make friends and remember the great experiences they have when they attend our programs,” she said.

had a shot to play basketball on a collegiate level? What was it about Wake Forest that swayed you? MB: I realized when I was in high school that I had the skill set to play in college. I chose Wake Forest because it was one of the toughest conferences and since it was the ACC, my mother would be able to watch my games from my hometown Baltimore. AS: Is there a single game or particular series of events that stand out to you about your college career? Or, what will you always remember about those years? MB: One game, in particular, stands out. It was the Wake Forest vs. N.C. State in 1985, sophomore year. It was a (nationally) televised game, and my opponent was Spud Webb. During that game, Al McGuire made a comment, ‘How a kid that’s 5’3 is dominating a game like he’s Patrick Ewing and Ralph Sampson – this game alone should put him in the Hall of Fame.’ AS: So, you make the league and are playing with the Bullets when you get selected in the NBA Expansion Draft by the Hornets. What were your initial reactions of returning to ACC country, but also so as a brand new franchise? At first, was that viewed as a good or bad thing and why? MB: Initially, I was upset because I felt that the Bullets franchise gave up on me too early. But then I immediately got excited to go to Carolina because this was a place that was familiar with my style of play. AS: I’m sure you’ve been asked this 1,000 times, but what was that like being in Charlotte and “Alive at the Hive” in the beginning of the franchise? And, is there a moment you can remember that exemplifies what it was like to be a player during that time? Especially as rock stars in an ever-growing city and NBA franchise that adored their team win, or more often, lose. MB: You knew it was a special place from the very first game. Losing by 40 points but at the same time getting a standing ovation after the game. But after our fifth year seeing the fruit of our labor by advancing to the first round of playoffs in 91-92 which allowed the players and the franchise and city have something to celebrate. A spectacular moment. AS: The Hornets drafted well (at the time, at least) and eventually were on the verge of

being a big factor in the East. If the team that included, among others, yourself, Kendall Gill, Larry Johnson, Dell Curry, Johnny Newman and Alonzo Mourning had stayed together, what was the ceiling for you guys and why? MB: You can always say what if but that was a good nucleus at the time. We had great chemistry and were on the rise. AS: If not the most famous shot in team history, the Alonzo Mourning jumper to beat the Celtics has to rank at or near the top. In looking at the video, Tony Bennett was actually in, but you stood right next to coach Bristow and jumped higher than anyone on the court when it went in What was that moment like for you, and is that the biggest shot you were a part of as a Hornet? MB: Coach had Tony in for the shot and as a teammate you’re supportive. That was one of the biggest shots being a part of my Hornets career, and you can see my excitement when the shot is in. It was a memorable moment. AS: Like many former players who have played in Charlotte, you decided to make your home here. What was it about this area that you have fallen in love with? MB: For one, it was the [hospitality people] have shown to me and my family [since the] first game. During my playing days in Charlotte, visiting other cities gave me more passion for the Queen City.

A YouTuber’s guide to summer camp

5 TO TRY (continued from page 1B)

by Karie Simmons karie@cmgweekly.com

In today’s world, we can get information from pretty much anywhere. YouTube is one of my favorite sources because I’m a visual learner, especially when it comes to hanging curtains, applying makeup, changing a flat tire and other “life hacks.” There’s a YouTube video for everything these days, so I figured there would probably be a few videos with helpful tips and tricks for summer camps. Here are the five best videos I found:

HeyItsAnna tells it like it is. Her honest take gives viewers insider info from a veteran camper’s perspective.

na delves into the many tips and tricks she’s learned from six years at sleep-away camp. Skip to 2:05 to get to the meat of the video, where Anna gives tips like don’t go to camp with a friend from home, don’t bring expensive clothes and it’s better to over pack than under pack. She also recommends putting clothes in ziploc bags and then pressing the air out to save space in your suitcase. • Release date: 2016 • Length: 10:03 • Link: https://youtu.be/C4TkdBicSuY

Nervous about camp? Julie Sams has great tips for parents with kids who are worried about their upcoming summer.

This reporter says even the most prepared parents don’t know everything when it comes to summer camps.

2. Five Things Summer Camps Won’t Tell You You may think you know what your kids need to bring, what they’ll be doing and what they’ll be eating at summer camp, but you could be wrong. In this video posted by the Wall Street Journal, MarketWatch reporter Jen Wieczner shares five things summer camps won’t tell you. For starters, getting in can be really competitive and bug spray is practically useless against bed bugs. She also says peanut butter and cellphones are a no-no at most camps these days. • Release date: 2013 • Length: 3:23 • Link: https://youtu.be/hQzD0bqyzq8 3.
