Roberts is so enthused that he asked anyone with questions to call him at 704- . 739-4203. “I would love to help any- body,” he said. Alicia Guinn quickly dropped 14 pounds after she joined the YMCA in late November but now has plateaued. The weight isn’t coming off as fast so Guinn spent the weekend reading about calories. She’s now cutting back on starches and sweets and eating more fruits and vegetables. Guinn started her routine after finding herself exhaust- ed from everyday tasks. She credits the YMCA with pro- viding structure. Guinn had purchased exercise equip- ment to use at home but says now she is more faith- ful to her workout routine. Before beginning her pro- gram, Guinn got the okay from her physician. Then a YMCA staff member demon- strated the machines. Guinn has taken an aerobics class and works out with weights and on the treadmill, bike and step machine. She’s gone from 10 min- utes on the treadmill to 30 minutes. Guinn started out only using the step machine for two minutes. Now she is up to five minutes. After dropping her chil- dren off at school, Guinn visits the YMCA Monday through Friday. Headphones and a latge supply of maga- zines help her avoid bore- dom while lifting, biking, stepping and walking. The magazines also cover the digital display telling how long she has been on a machine. Guinn finds her workout goes faster when she doesn’t watch the dials. Danny Shirah, 53, has lift- ed weights for 30 years. “It’s just part of my life now, maintaining,” he said. Shirah credits working out with helping him avoid Danny Shirah has been lifting weights for the past 30 years. chronic illnesses affecting many people his age. He also believes the fitness rou- tine helped him recover faster from knee surgery. Shirah also includes exercis- es which improve his cardio- vascular function. 3 “It makes me feel better,” he said. Shirah finds exercise helps him have the energy to play with his grandchildren. Despite his enthusiasm, Shirah admits he doesn’t enjoy the workout itself, just the benefits. He advises would-be gym goers that the hardest part is getting there. Shirah says he has had to make it a top priority. For Shirah, the importance of exercise is also reinforced by a higher authority. Hearing a biblical passage as a child calling the body a temple has stuck with him. “I grew up with that in mind,” he said. As he ages, Shirah says he will switch from free weights to machines if he experiences joint pain. “I'll doit till I can’t do it,” he said. “If you haven't got your health, the rest is mini- mal.” The Patrick Senior Center is partnering with the YMCA to offer two classes at the senior center. Instructor Ginger Deaton uses bands, tubes, balls and small weights for the sit for fitness class. The class is accessible for people with limited mobility. This class meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. Wilma Halsey leads the more aerobic Fit For a King class on Wednesday and Friday at 2 p.m. ANDIE BYRMER / HERALD Registered Nutritionist Denise Danley from Gaston Memorial will present a pro- gram on healthy heart eat- ing Jan. 11 at 11 a.m. She'll talk about Parkinson Disease on Feb. 1.

ALLEN From 1A During his career Allen has watched the patrol add full time accident recon- struction specialists and hel- icopter units. The General Assembly recently merged the patrol and the Division of Motor Vehicles enforce- ment division. People are the best part of the Highway Patrol for Allen. “I'm a people person first and foremost,” he said. Allen views his work as a way to make a difference in the community. The hardest part for Allen and most other patrol offi- cers is making a death noti- fication. “There is no good way to tell someone,” he said. Allen remembers the first one. He had to tell a man his wife had died. Allen says he is still carrying around memories of most of the other notifications as well. The officer looks to his reli- gious faith to help him deal with those conversations. Allen is active at First Baptist Church and has served as a deacon. “I'm here today because of my Lord and my wife,” he said. Allen and his wife Beth Allen have three sons, Andy, Jake and Noah. They live in Kings Mountain. Allen sits on the Highway Patrols interview board. His advice to young people con- sidering a law enforcement career is to be truthful dur- ing the interview process - applicants are given a poly- graph and a background investigation - and to remember “your actions fol- low you the rest of your life.” In addition to family, work and church, Allen plays golf, serves on the Kings Mountain Planning and Zoning Board and is pursuing a masters degree at Western Carolina University. 20/20 From 1A jobs and assist small busi- nesses. ~ Stuart Gilbert and Bill Evans will address the council during the 2 p.m. meeting which is open to the public. “It’s time to have an open discussion about monetary commitment,” said Mayor Rick Murphrey. Murphrey described 20/20 as a more aggressive form of economic develop- ment. “Economic growth, pros- perity is what we want to do for all our citizens,” he said. The Chamber hopes to get support from municipalities and private entities across the county. Last year Kings Mountain budgeted $30,000 for Chamber efforts.
