Kourtney’s parents, her older sister Heather, and her grand- parents, Humes and Dot Houston of Kings Mountain, were among her cheering fans. She is also the granddaughter of Louise and Gene Roberts of Kings Mountain. “Kourtney is tough”, says Commissioner Houston, explain- ing proudly that she has done more than merely travel down the weary worn out comback trail. Just under a year ago, the teenager was hobbling from a severe ankle injury that was agitated in a warm-up routine just days before she was to com- pete in the N.C. state gymnastic meet. Houston, a favorite to pocket the state title in her class, battled the pain during the tough two day competition, and thoug finishing the top 10, she was prevented from displaying her true gymnastic talents that have been developing through years of strenous practice. Her grandfather said that shortly after her performance, Kourtney underwent extensive reconstruction surgery but her determination, coupled with a rigid practice schedule and ex- pert guidance in the field of sports medicine, enabled her to complete a near miraculous recovery. She was in a cast for six weeks and in rehabilitation for another two months. Just two ints separated Houston from the re- cent state championship.

Aquatic Program Offered “Come on in, the water's fine!” That’s what you're likely to hear if you sign up for the Ar- thritis Foundation/YMCA Aquatic Program, beginning in Spe at the Gaston County YM- “Physicians and therapists often recommend water exer- cises for people with arthrisis,” said Sandy Cook, of the Founda- tion’s North Carolina Chapter. “The Buoyancy of the water reduces the effects of gravity, making it easier for the people to move painful joints. So the Ar- thritis Foundation and the YMCA teamed up to develop the Ar- thritis Aquatic Program, a popular social and recreational program specifically for people who have arthritis.” The Arthritis Aquatic Pro- gram provides participants the opportunity to do gentle ac- tivities in warm water under the guidance of trained personnel. The water is kept at a warm temperature, which also helps relieve pain. Although these ac- tivities do not replace prescribed therapeutic excersies, they may help decrease overall pain and stiffness. ‘“This program is an excellent way for people to make new friends while doing something good for their bodies,” said Sandy. ‘“‘Any adult can join, and it’s not even . necessary to know how to swim! “Regular exercise is an impor- tant part of an overall treatment plan for someone with arthritis,” Sandy continued. ‘It can help maintain a person’s renge-of- motion and reduce stiffness. Many people with arthritis find it easier to exercise in warm water than ondry land. And, it’s always more fun to exercise with others!” The next class will start on June 6, and run for 10 weeks. It will be held each Monday and Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. For more information con- tact the Gaston County YMCA at 865-8551.
