NATIONAL NIGHT OUT IN THE<br />

CITY OF MAULDIN<br />

This year’s National Night<br />

Out event was a resounding<br />

success, bringing members<br />

of the <strong>Mauldin</strong> community<br />

out to the Cultural Center<br />

for fun, food, and music.<br />

National Night Out is an<br />

annual community-building<br />

campaign that promotes<br />

police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie<br />

to make our neighborhoods safer, more caring places to live.<br />

National Night Out event was held in conjunction with the <strong>Mauldin</strong><br />

Farmers Market at the <strong>Mauldin</strong> Cultural Center outdoor


NATIONAL NIGHT OUT IN THE CITY OF MAULDIN<br />

amphitheater. Guests enjoyed watching performances by students of T-Motion Dance Studio, a K-9<br />

demonstration, live music by My Girl, My Whiskey and Me, and shopping at vendor booths at the<br />

Farmers Market. The <strong>Mauldin</strong> Police Department, who organizes each year’s National Night Out in<br />

the city, provided free hot dogs and drinks to the crowds.<br />

<strong>Mauldin</strong> is one of more than 50 areas in South Carolina committed to forming police-community<br />

partnerships through the National Night Out event. The National Association of Town Watch (NATW)<br />

is a nonprofit, crime prevention organization with works in cooperation with thousands of crime watch<br />

groups and law enforcement agencies throughout the country. NATW introduced National Night Out<br />

in 1984. The first annual National Night Out involved 2.5 million neighbors across 400 communities<br />

in 23 states. National Night Out provides a great opportunity to bring police and neighbors together<br />

under positive circumstances.


POLICE YOUTH ACADEMY PROMOTES SAFETY<br />

AND GOOD CITIZENSHIP<br />

The <strong>Mauldin</strong> Police Department held its Police Youth Academy in late July for boys and early <strong>August</strong><br />

for girls. The program, which has been held every summer since 2007, promotes good citizenship<br />

through education and law enforcement experiences. Middle school-aged students learn about<br />

goal setting and self esteem, conflict resolution, peer mediation, violence and substance abuse,<br />

and the law. The mission of the Academy is to provide the student cadets with the social skills<br />

needed to make them more productive students and members<br />

of our community.<br />

School Resource Officers from both <strong>Mauldin</strong> High School and<br />

<strong>Mauldin</strong> Middle School, <strong>Mauldin</strong> Police Officers, and volunteers<br />

from the community teach the daily curriculum, and educational<br />

field trips are planned for Academy participants.<br />

Each division of the <strong>Mauldin</strong> Police Department gives instruction<br />

and equipment demonstrations to the cadets, including the<br />

K-9 program, tactical warrant team, traffic enforcement team,<br />

detective division, and dispatch center. The Academy also<br />

included a day with the <strong>Mauldin</strong> Fire Department where cadets<br />

learned CPR, physical agility standards & first aid skills.<br />

For more information on this and other programs organized by<br />

the <strong>Mauldin</strong> Police Department, please visit mauldinpolice.com.

Ray Hopkins Senior Center<br />

The summer brings day trips and dance parties to the Ray Hopkins Senior Center. A 50’s-themed<br />

party was a big success, with ladies in poodle skirts and everyone bringing their best moves to the<br />

dance floor.<br />

This month, members enjoyed trips to cool off at Lake Jocassee, taste wine at City Scape Winery,<br />

enjoy a baseball game with the Greenville Drive, and listen to speakers at the Younts Center and<br />

the Kroc Center.<br />

The SilverSneakers program is now fully integrated into the fitness program. The staff and instructors<br />

welcome new members almost every day. New fitness equipment has been added for the instructors<br />

to utilize, with additional machines on the way.<br />

Plans for renovation at the Senior Center are moving along. The Greenville County Redevelopment<br />

Authority will put the project out to bid in the coming weeks, with hopes to begin construction in<br />

late fall or early 2019.<br />

Sports Center<br />

The fitness floor has six new elliptical machines for members to enjoy! These wonderful and easyto-use<br />

machines replaced other machines that were more than a decade old. This addition gives<br />

the Sports Center the most up-to-date elliptical machines on the market.<br />

The SilverSneakers program continues to grow. The Sports Center’s <strong>August</strong> schedule features<br />

more than 30 classes that are SilverSneakers approved, with more than 100 new members thanks<br />

to SilverSneakers.<br />

The Summer Fun camp program brought healthy fun to the Sports Center this season. The eightweek<br />

camp ended with a trip to Carowinds. The camp succeeded thanks to enthusiasm and hard<br />

work by its organizers and participants, including Stephen Dyar, Jorge Santos, and Caitlin Harris.<br />

Adult basketball registration opened this month, and will close on <strong>August</strong> 31st. Those interested<br />

can visit the <strong>Mauldin</strong> Sports Center front desk for more information.<br />

Fire Prevention Education/Training<br />

In July the <strong>Mauldin</strong> Fire Department trained on the new<br />

personnel accountability system, which was placed in service<br />

on all front line apparatuses. This system helps with firefighter<br />

accountability on emergency scenes as well as interoperability<br />

between various fire agencies within the county. Personnel also<br />

trained on positive pressure ventilation using a new batterypowered<br />

fan, and on three new portable gas detection meters,<br />

which expand capabilities for toxic air monitoring. This month,<br />

fire personnel completed nearly 800 hours of shift training.<br />

MFD participated in six events this month, including Beachin’<br />

Fridays, the City Job Fair, a puppet show at <strong>Mauldin</strong> Christian<br />

Academy, a fire extinguisher class at Kuehne + Nagel, two car<br />

seat installations, and the Heritage Lake Subdivision Fourth<br />

of July parade. Firefighters also assisted with the Police<br />

Department’s Boys Youth Academy, where students were<br />

taught CPR, how to operate a fire extinguisher, and more. MFD<br />

reached approximately 2,100 children and adults in July.<br />

GIRLS SOFTBALL TEAM RECOGNIZED AT<br />

COUNCIL MEETING<br />

At July’s City Council meeting, <strong>Mauldin</strong><br />

recognized the 10U <strong>Mauldin</strong> Softball All-Star<br />

Team for their representation of the city in the<br />

<strong>2018</strong> Dixie Softball District Tournament. This<br />

was the first <strong>Mauldin</strong> Softball All-Star team<br />

assembled in more than ten years.<br />

The softball program contributes to the growing<br />

numbers for the Recreation Department’s<br />

youth sports programs, bringing more interest<br />

to the city and its community. This opportunity<br />

gave the players and coaches a chance to<br />

compete and look at how other local teams<br />

play and grow, and how <strong>Mauldin</strong> can improve<br />

to meet higher standards of sportsmanship.<br />

Players on this softball team included Elena<br />

Aponte, Isabella Aponte, Taria Booker,<br />

Rayna Curtis, Emma Haddock, Mattie Kellett,<br />

Vivian Law, Jaycie Santana, Karmyn Simpson,<br />

Madyson Turner, and Skylar Wright. Their team<br />
