MATTHEWS – Officer Hoza Scott was heading home from the night shift Jan. 23 when he encountered a stranded driver on I-485. The driver was expecting roadside assistance to arrive in three hours to help with his flat tire. Even though the driver was outside of the town’s jurisdiction, Scott decided to help him so he didn’t have to wait in 20-degree weather. This example of an officer going above and beyond the call of duty earned him the honor of Officer

of the Quarter. The Rotary Club of Matthews recognized Scott on May 2 at the Levine Senior Center. “This is the kind of work he does
on a regular basis,” Maj. Roy Sisk said. “Daily, he carries himself like that and we’re just really happy to have him with us and surround him with other officers that do that kind of work.” David McGuirt works with uniformed officers like Scott as operations services bureau commander for the police department. “We look at the caliber and the character of the people we hire,” McGuirt said. “This is one of those examples right here that on the regular we hear great things about.” Scott earned Officer of the Month for May 2021 for helping an impaired motorist enter rehab.
We speak an international language called peace. We're dealing with Ukraine right now. We have people in Rotary that are major peace-builders between countries and what they've done in times of crisis would absolutely amaze you. • Pam DeMaria on the role Rotary Club plays locally and abroad

Boys State and Girls State are seven-day hands-on experiences in the operation of the democratic form of government, the organization of political parties, and the relationship of one to the other in shaping local, state and federal government. “The various contributions of between $50 and $500 that our Post 235 has been receiving from post

CHARLOTTE – The Mecklenburg County Board of Commissioners voted May 3 to accept grant funding for the Four Mile Creek Greenway tunnel project in Matthews. The project involves building a 14foot tunnel under South Trade Street at Four Mile Creek. County Manager Dena Diorio explained to commissioners that the project originally received grant funding from Diorio the N.C. Department of Transportation and Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization in 2016 for $1,114,000. “As we went Blodgett through the design process, 75% of the design cost estimate revealed that there was a deficit for the construction project," Diorio said. "The county requested and received additional discretionary funds for the shortfall from the CRTPO and NCDOT." The deficit for the $2,582,020-million project totaled $666,220. The NCDOT/CRTPO has approved $499,000 in discretionary funds, which required a $147,220 match from Mecklenburg County and $20,000 match from Matthews. The Town of Matthews endorsed the grant in an October 2021 letter from then-Town Manager Hazen Blodgett to the CRTPO. The Matthews Board of Commissioners also approved the $20,000 local match. “Four Mile Creek Greenway is heavily used in the Town of Matthews,” Blodgett wrote. “This extension under the greenway will provide much-needed bicycle and pedestrian connectivity to the neighborhoods, the MARA sports area and downtown Matthews.” Town officials expect the project to start in summer 2022 and conclude in a year. Commissioner Vilma Leake was pleased by the prospect of the project creating more construction jobs.
Beck Aesthetic Surgery planning move to much bigger office CHARLOTTE – After two years in the Charlotte market, Dr. Joel Beck of Beck Aesthetic Surgery anticipates breaking ground in May on a new office in Ballantyne that will increase space by more than 500%. The building, expected to be open to the public in the first quarter of 2023, will be a 11,000-square-foot new construction at 11210 Golf Links Drive, Suite 100, adjacent to the Rea Farms development on Providence Road. The structure will include an ambulatory surgery center with two operating rooms and two 23 hour/overnight observation rooms for post operative monitoring. It will also house the new office for Beck Aesthetic Surgery and Med Spa, with plans for consultation lounges, surgical follow-up suites,
dedicated aesthetic and laser rooms and quiet space for patients to relax before and after treatments. There are also plans for a boutique-style retail area for curated aesthetic health and skincare products. “We are grateful for the growing number of patients seeking a truly personalized coaching-based approach to medical aesthetic care,” Beck said. “We are at the point now to meet our growing patients’ needs, we need more space and staff. It is the perfect opportunity to have a location that reflects our vision for aesthetic and regenerative medicine.” For years, Charlotteans have thought they needed to travel to places like Miami and New York for results. That is not the case.
With the combination of Beck’s West Coast ideals and progressive approach, there is a tremendous amount of potential. “Charlotte is a growing market for medical aesthetics and plastic surgery,” said Beck, who practiced for 18 years in California before moving to North Carolina to be closer to family. “People move to Charlotte from all over the country and the city is changing in so many ways. We’re ready to be part of that change.” Beck Aesthetic Surgery is providing full surgical and med spa services from inside a 1,900-square-foot office at Novant Health Matthews Medical Center. Beck operates at the hospital down the hall and sees surgical patients in just two exam rooms and a minor procedure room that doubles as the Med Spa.

CHARLOTTE – Blanket Pancakes and Syrup, a Black-owned, all-natural food company, announced its products are now being sold at Walmart, Food Lion and World Market stores. Founded in 2017 by married couple Marquita and Deven Carter, the company is also celebrating its five-year anniversary as this week marks National Small Business Week. “We are excited to have our products sold in three national retail stores,” said Marquita Carter, who married Deven Carter in 2011 before they founded the company and had two chil-
dren. “Blanket Pancakes not only provides healthy meal alternatives for families, but also through our work, allows us to help build legacy.” Blanket Pancakes and Syrup recently launched in 500 North Carolina Food Lions and last month began carrying products in Super Walmart stores in the Carolinas. The brand is also carried in 250 World Market stores across 39 states. The product line includes buttermilk, honey butter, chocolate chip and vegan pancake mix as well as original, vanilla and cinnamon syrup flavors.
Born out of a desire to bring healthier ingredients to modern day cooking, the Carters went on the mission to package the recipes of their family, which meant creating product with no preservatives and no high fructose corn syrup. “We wanted recipes that went back to the basics,” Deven Carter said. “We wanted it to be great-tasting, real food that doesn’t take long to make. Once we found the perfect blend of taste and time, the rest was history, and we are excited to observe our fiveyear anniversary during such a pivotal time.”

Walkway offers haven for parents CHARLOTTE – Our Children’s Memorial Walkway held a remembrance event May 1 in memory of children of all ages at the gardens outlined with bricks at Frazier Park, 1201 West Fourth Street Extension. Parents, grandparents, family, and friends were invited to write their children’s names on a rock
and place it in the gardens. The walkway and gardens are a place to remember loved ones in a positive setting and to reflect as a “place of life.” The walkway is a public venue managed by Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation. Our Children’s Memorial Walkway is home to more than 1,800
engraved bricks memorializing children of all ages including adults, such as those in the military who fought for our country in the “Fallen Soldiers” section and first responders. Other sections are KinderMourn, Hospice, Kristen Foundation for families who have a missing loved one, Atrium Levine Children’s
Hospital, M.O.M.O.-Mothers of Murdered Offspring, H.U.G.S. (Healing and Understanding of Grief from Suicide) and the St. Jude affiliate at Novant Health. Families from 20 other states and two countries, Canada and England, have engraved bricks in the walkway. Our Children’s Memorial Walk-
Giving children a voice Child advocate provides avenue for healthy expression CHARLOTTE – Carla A. Carlisle, child advocate and trauma expert, will launch her latest book, “My Big Notebook,” on May 7. Carlisle co-wrote the children’s book with her 12-year-old son, JC, as a tool to help elementary school-age children express their feelings in a healthy and positive way. “I created the book as a fun and healing way for children, particularly those who’ve experienced trauma, to talk about their feelings,” said Carlisle, an adoptive parent and IT professional. “Too often they remain silent because no one gave them the tools or a safe space to express their feelings, which can often lead to self-destructive behavior.” In her first book, “Journey to the Son,” Carlisle recounts her emotional and challenging eight-year battle to gain custody of JC. Through her parenthood journey, Carlisle realized that providing a safe, loving and stable home wasn’t enough to help children overcome toxic stress and trauma. As a result, Carlisle sought help from child therapists and psychiatrists. She became an active team member with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department’s Crisis Intervention Team training program. Carlisle frequently serves as a panelist and guest speaker at local community forums to share her and JC’s experiences to champion the welfare, stability and safety of children. Since becoming an adoptive parent, Carlisle has partnered with organizations including Mental Health America of Central Carolinas, National Alliance on Mental Illness and Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute to bring awareness about trauma and its impact on children. “My Big Notebook,” affectionately called the “buddy in a book,” includes real stories, healthy coping mechanisms, positive affirmations, coloring and journaling pages and mental health resources. The book was intentionally designed as a composition notebook to keep children’s feelings as discreetly as they choose. The book can also be used with a trusted adult in a classroom or family setting. “I’m excited about the healing and transformation this book will bring to the lives

of so many children who are scared to talk about their feelings or don’t know how,” Carlisle said. “So far, we’ve had close to 400 copies purchased and donated to organizations like KinderMourn, Safe Alliance, Atrium Health Levine Children’s Hospital, Charlotte Angels and Alexander Children’s Foundation. My goal is to have 500 books committed to donation by May 7.” The book launch will take place on May 7 from 1 to 4 p.m. at Studio 229 on Brevard in Charlotte, in honor of National
Children’s Mental Health Awareness Day. The event includes a VIP reception, entertainment and guest speakers followed by a book signing. Parents, caregivers, teachers, social workers, medical professionals, therapists and child advocates are encouraged to attend. Tickets range from $25 to $40 and are available on Eventbrite.

Author shares motherhood experiences CHARLOTTE – Busy mother of five and Warren Publishing author, Shari Franklin has released a collection of essays titled “Here’s What I Need You To Know” ahead of Mother’s Day. Inspired by life’s daily antics, Franklin seeks to share her wisdom and knowledge with other women in the hopes of acknowledging and Franklin inspiring them. Bringing together humor, honesty and solidarity, Franklin’s collection of stories is meant to make readers laugh – and maybe shed the occasional tear – as they relate to and reminisce with her sharp prose. Franklin expounds on the various challenges of being a mother, such as feeling inadequate and experiencing new-mom anxieties. She firmly believes, however, that having adult children who have turned out better than she dreamed is “when she realized all the hard work and investment was worth it.” Franklin hopes that by reading her book, women will see how all they do makes an impact, whether it comes to raising children or being successful business women. Presented in short essays and anecdotes, this book is arranged by topic so busy mothers can skip around and read what speaks to them at any given moment. “Moms are all dealing with the same struggles, feelings and situations. I want us all to know that we are not alone and that what we feel is normal,” Franklin said. “It’s totally OK to feel like we are failing at it all. What’s important – when we realize we all deal with the same things is – that we can encourage each other to keep pressing forward.” Franklin’s collection emphasizes that women are in this life together and are meant to support one another.

She has three teenage children and two adult children.
Advocacy center launches series on body safety CHARLOTTE – Pat’s Place Child Advocacy Center in Charlotte is helping adults start discussions about body safety with a new series of webinars for parents and children, kicking off at 11:30 am. April 30. CEO Andrew Oliver said starting a dialogue with children is the number one form of child abuse prevention. The Pat’s Place Coffee + Conversation series is to help answer the questions that often are roadblocks: When should you start the conversation? How do you start the conversation? According to the Mecklenburg County Department of Social Services, 17,323 children (6.8%) were reported abused or neglected in
2019. DSS substantiated maltreatment or determined that additional services were needed in 13.2% of those cases. In more than 90% of child abuse cases, the child knows and trusts the abuser. In a series of free (registration required) online discussions, Pat’s Place is enlisting members of its staff to lead discussions for parents and specific age groups of children. Among those that will take part include Shawna Pagano, Pat’s Place education and community engagement director, who oversees training and education and human trafficking initiatives and serves as the co-chair of the Charlotte Metropolitan Human Trafficking Task Force. Coffee + Conversations sessions are scheduled as follows:
Parent + Child: Talking to Your Child About Body Safety This informal session will empower children with the knowledge that gives them the right to make decisions over their bodies, and caregivers with the knowledge to support them.
