By Jean Gordon J Talk Robert McDowell— The weekend is over and all the grands are gone home. Bob Brown — During Bible Study with my wife each Monday morning we get to look at the calendar and see the different church activities for the week and what all we can do. April Blanton — Get- ting to start a brand new week. Clark Phillips — The good Lord let me live and get up and have my coffee. Chellen Park — All the kids go back to school. David Briscoe — I got rested. I think. The N.C. Department of Transportation wants to remind drone operators that there is only one right way to fl y a drone: Safely. Without proper training and adherence to safe fl ying guidelines, unmanned aircraft systems can be dangerous. NCDOT utilizes drones for multiple tasks ranging from bridge condition assessments to emergency response surveys, which improve not only operational effi ciency, but also safety for our staff. "Drones are innovative tools that can keep our teams safe when performing mission- critical tasks, from surveying disaster scenes to inspecting project sites and hard-to-reach infrastructure, if operators follow basic safety protocols when using them," said Becca Gallas, interim director of the NCDOT Division of Aviation. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), more than 15,000 recreational drones and more than 9,500 commercial drones are registered in North Carolina. Both numbers are growing. It is imperative that every operator considers safety fi rst, not only for National Drone Safety Day, but each time their aircraft takes to the skies. Every owner of a drone is encouraged to: • Register their drone at FAADroneZone- access.faa.gov • Join an FAA community-based organization • Know where you can and can't fl y using resources, such as the FAA B4UFLY app and be familiar with the state and federal laws governing drones • Have a safety plan, inspect your drone and evaluate weather conditions prior to fl ying • Take the recreational unmanned aircraft systems test Additionally, NCDOT's Division of Aviation offers the following guidelines to help pilots ensure they're fl ying safely and legally: • Always fl y no more than 400 feet above ground level. • Always keep the drone within your visual line of sight. • Respect people's privacy. • Avoid fl ying over events or crowds; never fl y directly over people. • Never fl y near or above prisons or airports. • Don't fl y at night without proper training and equipment. NCDOT Encourages Prioritizing Drone Safety Article Provided By: ncdot The Community Foundation of Western North Carolina has released their 2023 regional scholarship winners and Lake Lure Classical Academy (LLCA) announces that senior Maija Zidek was selected as a recipient. Maija was selected as LLCA's school nominee based on her academic achievement, extracurricular activities, community involvement, and strong moral character. She then competed against other nominees from high schools in 29 counties in the WNC region and participated in a panel interview. Maiji was selected as a recipient of a $5,000 per year award for four years ($20,000 total) from the Clyde and Mildred Wright Endowment Fund. This fund was established in 1995 to assist students throughout the WNC mountain region with the soaring costs of higher education. The Wrights created these scholarships to encourage and assist students motivated to reach their full potential through education. Maija is the daughter of Tarja Pollari of Rutherfordton. She plans to attend the University of Miami in Florida to study Marine Biology and Ecology at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.
