CHARLOTTE – The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education considered launching a national search to replace Clayton Wilcox, but opted instead to offer a three-year contract to Earnest Winston to become the next superintendent. The school board suspended Wilcox on July 15 for undisclosed reasons and accepted his resignation four days later. The school board announced Winston’s promotion on Aug. 2,
citing his experience, dependability, commitment to children, collaboration and a “leadership style that puts listening first.” “We are called at this moment in our district’s history to keep moving forward confidently while providing the surety of experienced leadership,” according to a statement from the board. “In the end, we prioritized a strong, steady guiding light already here in our community, saving all of us valuable time and resources. We believe this decision reflects the see SUPERINTENDENT, Page 2A

CHARLOTTE – After claiming four consecutive all-state selections while starring for the Charlotte Latin girls golf team, Alexis Sudjianto hasn’t simply ridden off into the sunset as one of the top players to ever play for the Hawks. This summer, Sudjianto has climbed to the top of the Carolinas Golf Association’s Women’s Tour North Carolina rankings with an exhaustive schedule that has her playing some of the best golf of her young career. “I feel like I play better when I play more and do so in a competitive setting as opposed to just going to the range or working on one part of my game,” she said. “I think it helps me play better. I enjoy going out there even though it’s 100 degrees and super humid.” It seems strange that a girl who never played golf until she was 11 and didn’t start training with swing coaches until she was 13 would be in this position, but here she is, leading the state’s top junior circuit and playing great golf. Most recently, Sudjianto checked the final goal off her summer list wish when she shot a 5-over par, two-day total of 149 in stroke play at the U.S. Juniors, which advanced her to the match play portion, which may be her biggest accomplishment to date. Sudjianto said she first got into the sport after

What can be done? Readers offer ideas on ending violence
Mass shootings over the weekend in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio killed at least 29 people, prompting a lot of speculation into the motives of the shooters. We asked Facebook followers, “What can be done to stop violence?” Here are a few of the responses: Lynn Bargine Timon: Well I guess we need to ask ourselves why WE, the USA has more mass murders than the rest of the WORLD... and the obvious answer is..the frickin’ AK47s and other assault weapons that the 2nd amendment had nothing to do with..given that was musket time. NOBODY NEEDS ASSAULT WEAPONS UNLESS THEY’RE SOMEWHERE FIGHTING A WAR. Edward McKeown: So its the guns, it has always been the guns in all 250 slaughters in this 3/4 of a year. It’s not the video games and its not the music and the movies-they have those all over the rest of the planet. It is to some degree a culture that honors violence (without examination of consequences.) see VIOLENCE, Page 4A

MATTHEWS – Novant Health and GoHealth have partnered to unveil refurbished urgent care centers that not only look different, but also provide patients with more convenient customer experiences. Their network of urgent care centers has expanded to five locations in the Charlotte market, including Matthews (9600 E. Independence Blvd.) and Waverly (11840 Southmore Drive) as well as 10 more locations in North Carolina. GoHealth CEO Todd Latz said during the grand opening of the Matthews location in May that these refurbished urgent
care centers allow customers to control their own experiences. “Once they enter these doors, the entire design of the center is built around that patient,” Latz said, “taking that friction out of the experience that all of us have had over the years in healthcare, whether that’s the front end and how they approach us or whether that’s the paperless discharge piece at the end when you complete your visit.” With this new model, patients can go online to see wait times and choose a location to visit. Or they may register online, grab a coffee nearby and receive a text message when the doctor is ready see NOVANT, Page 4A

community’s desire for stability, for calm guidance and clear focus on what matters most – our students and their teaching and learning.” Winston is the sixth superintendent to lead CMS during this decade. He’ll make $280,000 annually, the same salary as Wilcox when he was hired two years ago. Following a journalism career, Winston joined CMS in 2004 as a teacher at Vance High School. He moved to the district’s
communications department in 2006 and served as chief of staff from 2011 to 2017. He’s served as community relations director since 2017. In an interview released by CMS, Winston mentioned his experience as a non-educator as a strength because it brings a different perspective. He also brings the perspective of a parent with two children enrolled in the district. “What I will want to do is to reassure our families, our students, that CMS continues to move forward uninterrupted,” Winston said during the interview. “We’re preparing for the first day of school on Aug. 26.”

Playing with a purpose Sudjianto said she played the best golf that she had to any point before last summer, but so far the summer of 2019 has far exceeded that. And it’s coming at an unexpected time. Sudjianto is committed to Carnegie Mellon University, where she’ll pair her gift for both academics and athletics, but more on that later. Unlike most committed seniors who take the summer before college off to rest after competing for years on the local tours, Sudjianto circled a few tournaments on her calendar that looked fun. Before she knew it, she had a full slate and had set a few goals for herself, including winning a CGA championship, qualifying for the USGA Junior championship and, hopefully, playing well enough during the stroke play portion to qualify for the USGA Junior match play tournament. All of those boxes mostly got checked off during a particularly strong one-week stretch in late June. After an already torrid start to her summer schedule, Sudjianto found herself playing in the U.S. Girls qualifier on Monday, a practice round for another tournament on Tuesday and playing in a third tournament on Wednesday and Thursday in Monroe. Sudjianto qualified on Monday, played well on Tuesday and came back from a deficit to win the Twin States Junior Girls’ Championship at Rolling Hills Country Club by one stroke. “That was a pretty exciting week,” she said. “I parred my last hole and won by a stroke at that tournament in Monroe. It was funny because I had told my playing partner that I expected to finish around fourth. I didn’t even know I was in competition, but I was able to win that tournament. It was pretty special.” Keeping the game fun Sudjianto was already a two-time all-state player at Charlotte Latin when she entered the biggest summer of her life if she was to be a college player. During the sophomore and junior season is when coaches can start contacting recruits, and some were already reaching out to the rising star. But something wasn’t right. As well as she
was playing, Sudjianto felt like she wasn’t improving and may have capped her potential. With the help of her coach, she remade her swing. “It was stressful because that’s when recruiting really starts to amp up, but I knew I wasn’t improving playing the way I had and this was the only way it could improve,”she said. “I feel like this year it’s really paying off.” The swing change took some time to get used to and was frustrating at times. Like her busy 2019 summer schedule would indicate, Sudjianto doesn’t like to take time off but at times, the results were slow to come. “It was hard because golf is one of those sports where the results aren’t going to be instantaneous,” she said. “I had to be patient and I had to believe in myself and also everything that my coach had taught me. I think overall it worked out well because it helped keep golf refreshed in my mind. I felt like a new player because there were magic moments where I felt like I just started playing because the change was so drastic.” Finding a home Sudjianto had plenty of suitors even with the swing change. Although she had totally reinvented her game with a new swing, Sudjianto didn’t take long to get back in form. In her junior year, she finished fourth at the NCISAA tournament and she was third this year, earning all-state honors both times to become a rare four-year all-state winner. “I’ve worked really hard over the past four years,” she said. “The fact that I was able to keep doing it really encouraged me and told me I’m doing the right thing and should keep going with golf.” But Sudjianto has other interests, too. She’s never made anything lower than an “A” in a class at Charlotte Latin, even with taking advanced classes. Sudjianto said she wants to major in mechanical engineering and earn a minor in computer science. Carnegie Mellon was the only place that fit her desire to play golf, receive an education at a great school and major in mechanical engineering. Sudjianto said she one day wants to work at a tech company or for a golf manufacturing company where she can apply her love of the game with her understanding of engineering and design. While that is in her future, and even with college golf on the horizon and her game clicking, Sudjianto said she doesn’t want to follow her cousin into professional golf. That’s not to say she won’t give it her best for the next four years. “I hope I can continue to improve, play well and play consistently, put up some good scores and win some college tournaments,” she said. “I’m ready to see what I can do.”

New Sabres football coach brings winning mentality terday forget about it, but you have to get better today. If you had a great day, well you have to be great again tomorrow. That’s the main thing - just getting them that mindset and giving them my personality, my mindset and my work ethic. Once they take it and run with it, it’s going to be a great season.
by Andrew Stark andrew@cmgweekly.com
On June 11, far after most area teams had began setting their depth charts, Joe Evans was hired to coach South Meck. He becomes just their eighth coach since 1979 and replaces Rocky White, a mentor a Evans’ who spent seven years with the Sabres and guided them to a 33-48 record, including going 5-18 over the past two seasons. While the Sabres have struggled of late, Evans has been an offensive coach at Myers Park, most recently serving as the running backs coach for a Mustang team that set a school record with 13 wins and a trip to the Western Regional final. This is the third head coaching gig for Evans, a former star at West Meck. He has previous stops at Independence (13-6 from 2013-14) and at Ardrey Kell (13-12, 201516). His best season was 2014, when Independence went 12-1 and won the Southwestern 4A with a 6-0 record. Sports Editor Andrew Stark caught up with Evans to see how it’s all coming together. Andrew Stark: I wanted to give you a little time to catch your breath and get acclimated to some of your players and things before I reached out to you, but how is everything going so far? Joe Evans: We’re going to be young, but we have a lot of good kids and a lot of kids who have bought into what I’m doing and bought into my weight room system. We’re going to win the weight room, and the kids are all in with it because they’re starting to see some results already. For me, it’s getting those kids to buy in wholeheartedly. AS: What do you see some of the challenges at South Meck? The past few years haven’t been great record-wise there, so you have to get them to believe and get them to see that winning is attainable and an attitude. How do you get them to see that? JE: Those are the challenges. You have to change the mentality a little bit and you have a little bit of a depth issue over there right now. I’m trying to go and recruit my own hallways because there are a ton of kids at that school that could be playing football. It’s just little things like that. I’m trying to teach them little things about football, but
AS: You talk about having about 90 guys come out in the freshman and sophomore classes and being excited about them. That’s got to be something really positive that you can build on from here, right? JE: Oh, that’s just it. We’re young, young. Last year when I was at Myers Park we played their JV and I looked over (to their sideline) and was like, ‘OK, they have some dudes over there.’ Once we get it all in and implemented and I get some time with them - and that’s the big thing since I got hired so late. It takes some time, but I have to have some urgency so it’s hard sometimes. AS: What have you learned from being at Myers Park for a few years now and being with coach Chadwick and away from being the head guy for a while? You’re still working just as hard, but what’s it like to maybe take a step back and enjoy all of that success? South Meck coach Joe Evans brings a high-energy style to the Sabres sidelines. A former star player himself, Evans comes to South Meck with three seasons as an assistant at Myers Park and head coaching stops at Independence and Ardrey Kell. Photo courtesy of Joe Evans
also trying to get them to have that winner’s a pretty high energy guy and they responded mentality and trying to get them better as to that really well. I run the weight room, I football players. They’re also learning my run practice, I run the meetings and I do all system, but the defense hasn’t really changed of that stuff and I do it all with energy so the so it’s only the offense. kids have already reThat helps, but it’s sponded to the energy just a culture thing. I’m a big self critic and I critique I bring. We talk about It’s a different men- myself all of the time. If we “The Standard” in evtality and a different have a bad practice, I think erything we do. Everyattitude I bring, but there was something I should thing I put on Twitter it’s not even that any- have done more or less of to is #thestandard. The thing was entirely bro- make us have a better practice. standard is about how ken but its me. It’s just I go and critique myself harder we prepare ourselves. me and I’m different. The standard isn’t gothan anyone else.” • Joe Evans ing to lower for you, AS: You are differso you have to rise to ent as a coach and I’ve meet it and the bar been around you enough to know your style has to be pushed up every single day. They and to know that you’re all with bringing do a good job of bringing it., but that’s a culenergy and effort everyday. How have they ture thing you have to fight for every single responded to that part of it? day because they’re high school kids. They’re gonna have good days and they’re going to JE: You’re right and you do know that I’m have bad days so if they had a bad day yes-
“
JE: What it really does is it gives you a different perspective. You’re not the guy that’s answering all of the questions, but you’re the guy that is helping hold up that culture and being totally bought into what somebody else is doing as a head coach. I’m a big self critic and I critique myself all of the time. If we have a bad practice, I think there was something I should have done more or less of to make us have a better practice. I go and critique myself harder than anyone else. When you step back as an assistant you see things you want to implement when you become a head coach again and things you might want to take out when you’re a head coach again. It can help you build your style within your personality. I’m not a very good coach when I coach outside of my personality, so it was good for that. AS: The conference looks pretty wide open this season. How do you approach that? JE: We’re trying to win the thing this year. I told the kids we’re trying to take it this year no doubt.

to see them. The new model also incorporates connectivity to primary care providers in terms of electronic records and referrals, according to Dr. Michael Hogan, senior physician executive with Novant Health. “For years we have partnered with our urgent care providers to deliver that seamless experience to cover the times where my clinic or my office may not be available,” Hogan said. “It’s crucial that your information seamlessly crosses those venues.” Dr. Mark Collins, physician executive of the Novant Health Community Health & Wellness Institute, described these urgent care centers as an “innovative, personalized care model” with online checkin and shorter waits. “The access-minded, patient-first approach of our partnership with GoHealth Urgent Care brings quality care to our communities when and where they need it,” Collins said.
The answer is not a good guy with a gun. The good guys put down the maniacs in two of the last three in 60 seconds. That did not stop them from inflicting horrific casualties because they were armed with war guns with large magazines that have no place in a civilian culture. There are legitimate needs for weapons (I say as someone who likes to shoot) but they can be met with the same guns the Lone Ranger use. They were good enough for him, they are good enough for anyone else. We can reconcile the 2nd amendment with sensible laws if we the majority who believe that war guns should be reserved for wars - vote that way.

Mission34 kickball tourney honors fallen Latin grad Charlotte Latin will host a kickball tournament for special cause with the Mission34 match, which kicks off Saturday, Aug. 10 on the school’s south campus at 5 p.m. The championship match will be played on the Hawks baseball field at 8 p.m. Mission34 is a nonprofit established in the memory of former Charlotte Latin and Denison University baseball player Sean Bonner. Bonner took his own life in November of 2018 after a battle with mental health issues. “At his memorial service, Sean’s sister, Allison, and brother, Ryan, (Latin class of 2020) spoke about him and how much he meant to them,” said Charlotte Latin Sports Information Director Angel Trimble. “His father also spoke, and it was one of the most impactful, genuine, raw and courageous displays of human vulnerability I’ve witnessed. He confessed
that they didn’t know, they hadn’t seen it coming (and) that they were blindsided by the depth of emotion Sean was able to keep hidden from his own family.” Mission34 was founded by Peter Pitroff, a Country Day graduate and Denison lacrosse player who was Bonner’s best friend. The number “34” was Bonner’s baseball jersey number, with the tagline “A New Type of Tough,” which hopes to change the stigma and obtain a better understanding of mental health. The group made Mission34 T-shirts, which sold out in their first week of sale. They are working on the logistics of making more according to an article published in “The Denisonian,” the school’s student newspaper. “His [Bonner’s] dad said something that really stuck out to
me which was ‘Sean is the type of guy that can bring people together,’” Pitroff was quoted as saying. “Sean touched the lives of so many people, and I was lucky enough to have known him during his time growing up, and at Denison. Being able to bring these two communities together to both celebrate his life and raise awareness for mental health is very powerful. “Mission34 is raw and evolving. I think our main goal right now is to continue to build a presence, and to get as many people excited about what we have going on as possible. Mental health is a huge issue both on college campuses and our society as a whole. We believe M34 has the power to spread beyond Denison and we are hopeful to get as many people involved as possible” To keep up with Mission34, follow them on Instagram at @Mission34SPB.

As kids head back to school, it's important to provide them with the necessary resources to succeed. As a parent, you can take steps to put your kids on the path toward a successful school year. To help your children put the best foot forward, consider these suggestions from The Salvation Army, which operates hundreds of low-cost after-school programs for kids of all ages in low-income neighborhoods across the country and understands the importance of setting children up for success all year. • Get back into a routine. During the summer months, family routines tend to slide, especially morning rituals and bedtime habits. A few weeks before school starts, begin transitioning your way back to a normal school schedule. A gentle progression toward earlier bed and wake-up times is easier on kids physically and mentally. Try adjusting by 15 minutes each day until you reach the optimal schedule for your family. Remember that routines aren't just about the clock, though. If there are certain steps that are part of the school year routine, such as packing lunches and laying out clothes for the next day before bed, make those part of your transition plan, too. • Set a good example. Kids learn important behavioral lessons by watching the adults in their lives. The back-to-school season provides many opportunities to demonstrate compassion and social responsibility. For example, giving back to an organization like The Salvation Army helps provide funding for programs that support the educational needs of children who otherwise may not have access to the same resources. • Research resources for homework help. Discovering your child is struggling in school can be overwhelming. You'll want to be able to pull in help as quickly as possible, so it's a good idea to research resources in your area that can help provide support outside the classroom. Your school likely has some options available, but it's a good idea to also look into tutoring programs and other community services that encourage literacy and study skills as well as

provide one-on-one assistance with homework and school assignments. • Get organized. The first few weeks of school typically bring plenty of change and adjustment. You can help manage the stress by creating some structure. Use a wall calendar to keep track of school start and dismissal times, bus pick-up and drop-off times, after school activities and other appointments. Review lunch menus and plan ahead so you're not finding out at bedtime that you need to pack a home lunch in the morning. Stock up on breakfast foods and make time to catch up on laundry before school begins so hunger and wayward socks don't derail your mornings. • Explore extra-curricular programs. With the new school year comes numerous ways to enrich your kids' social and cognitive development. Extra-curricular activities let kids continue practicing skills even after the school bell rings, but in a
Ease kids back into classes with confidence There's nothing like a major milestone in a child's life to test a parent's confidence. Big changes like a new school or classroom can be trying for kids and adults alike, but tackling the transition a little at a time can make it easier on everyone. Most parents agree that being confident is important, but only about one in three parents feels confident on a typical day, according to KinderCare's Parent Confidence Report. However, experts say your own feelings can impact youngsters. Whether your child is making a big change like stepping up from pre-K into kindergarten or entering a new grade in the same building, there's likely to be some trepidation. However, each child is different, which means reactions to change can vary. Some kids show up ready and raring to go, eager to explore and meet new friends, while others can be a little clingy, tearful or even refuse to look at the teacher or take a step through the door. If you think your child might have trouble making the transition, consider these strategies from the experts at KinderCare to help ease both of you into a more comfortable place and build confidence for a successful school year. 1. Set up classroom visits before school starts. Sometimes fear comes from the unknown. By visiting ahead of time and seeing firsthand, your child can become familiar with the layout of the classroom, meet the teachers and know what to expect, which can help alleviate some of the anxiety and jitters.
fun environment so they may not even realize they're still learning and cultivating healthy, safe relationships with friends. In addition to sports and clubs, a wide array of music and art education activities may be available that focus on everything from choir, band and dancing to drawing, writing and acting. • Set goals. Begin the school year by encouraging your children to take ownership and pride in their learning. Talk about goals like reading a certain number of books each month or earning grades that reflect their highest potential. Get kids motivated by designing goal boards or charts that can serve as daily reminders and track their progress. For larger goals, consider setting milestones so they can celebrate progress along the way and stay motivated for a big finish. Learn more about educational and giving opportunities in your community at www.SalvationArmyUSA.org.
2. Talk with your child's teacher about the transition. Your child's teacher should be your partner, so be open and honest from the start. Talk about how your child handles change, what causes stress or what behaviors the teacher might expect. Don't be afraid to call and ask for updates on your child to see how things are going. Set up regular check-ins over the next few weeks to talk about any additional support your child may need. 3. Avoid sneaking away from your child at drop-off. Talk about what will happen ahead of time and create a consistent and predictable drop-off ritual, such as two high-fives, a hug and a wave from the window, to ensure your child feels secure and safe. Continue this routine every day to help your child get used to the classroom environment and make sure the process is a quick, happy one. While you're typically welcome in most classrooms, lingering too long can make it harder on your child once you do leave. 4. Be enthusiastic. Just like laughter, excitement is contagious. Rather than focus on nerves or uncertainty, share your own memories from school including how you felt at the beginning of a new school year and the excitement of learning and meeting new friends, which can help your child get hyped up, too. 5. Set up a work station at home. Creating a designated space at home for your little learner to do homework, read, write, draw and complete art projects can help set him or her up to develop good study habits. Stock this station with colored paper, crayons and markers, pencils, glue sticks, scissors, books, stickers and other necessary tools, and leave room for stowing a backpack. Encourage your child to spend time working on educational endeavors in the space each night.
