8 Western Carolinian March 28,1996 Human Resources New Reid Fitness Center to Open Soon by John Bubacz Staff Reporter Whether or not fitness is for you, you might want to visit the new Reid fitness center, located inside the double-door entrance at Centennial Drive and Norton Road on campus. This fitness center, scheduled to open in mid-April, will be open from noon till 9 p.m. weekdays, Saturdays 9 to 5 (including graduation day), and Sundays 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Reid's fitness center has an impressive array of exercise equipment. Already in place are fourteen Cybex circuit training machines (Scott Sechrest of the National Academy of Sports Medecine called Cybex "the best equipment money can buy"), a cable pullover machine, four treadmills, and new free weights and benches. On the way are a wheelchair-accessible upper body er- gometer, two upright bikes, two recumbent bikes, and four stair climbers. The existing Schwinn Airdynes and Concept 2 rowing machines will be moved from the Camp Lab gym, behind the temporarily relocated University Center. The other weight equipment will remain in that gym through the spring semester, much of it being refurbished and moved to the fitness center in the summer. Plans for the future include Nordic Traks, a climbing wall, and downhill ski machines. The fitness center is truly state-of-the- art. One student described it as bright, spacious, and colorful. New fluorescent lighting has replaced the old incandescent type, the exercise floor space is approximately three times that of the old weight room (it can hold up to eighty people), and the curved lines and carefully chosen colors of the walls and carpet give the feel of a very modern, upscale fitness center. The weight training equipment, colors and architecture are not the only features new to the fitness center. Debby Singleton, the new fitness director, brings with her a master's degree in Exercise Physiology, five years experience as Fitness Director at UNC-A, Five years experience as a ski instructor at Cataloochee, and an attitude that "Fitness is a lifetime commitment." She feels that the new fitness center is not just a gym, but is for education. Singleton says she is here to serve the needs of students and faculty. Singleton has been busy in recent weeks, interviewing for the twenty-five to thirty immediately available positions, assembling equipment, and planning for the many workshops, clinics and trainings scheduled for the coming seasons. Available will be ski and kayaking clinics, aerobic classes, and weight loss and stress management workshops. Additionally, individualized fitness training clinics will be available. Before beginning to exercise, students will be required to complete an equipment orientation workshop and will have a sticker and motor learning lab (both of which were previously located in locker rooms). One major difference between the old and new Reid gym is that the whole building will be air-conditioned— good news to anyone who has sat through summer school classes in the sweltering heat. Reid gym and the fitness center, while being completed only slightly behind sched- Reid's new fitness center, featuring a variety of specialized exercis e equipment, will open in mid-April. Photo by Brian Bock placed on her/his ID card. Completing this orientation, according to Singleton, is for safety reasons, and will "improve success rate...and return rate [to the center]." Student activity fees, included in tuition, have been raised five dollars per semester to pay for the position of fitness director. The $3.5 million for the renovations to Reid Gym came from a state-wide bond referendum that paid for architects, construction costs, new equipment for classrooms and offices, and exercise and weight equipment. Full-time faculty and staff will pay five dollars per semester (compared to $45 at Appalachian) and $ 15 per semester for family members over 17 years. At this time, the fitness center will not be available to members of the community not affiliated with WCU. Dr. David Claxton, head of Health and PE, feels the fitness center is a welcome addition to the program, and stresses the academic improvements to the college as a whole. Renovations to Reid gym include two new conference rooms and two new classrooms, and will bring together the 18 faculty offices that were previously scattered throughout various buildings on campus. Other renovations include halogen lighting and new floors in the upstairs gym, refinished floors, painted walls, and new lighting in the downstairs basketball court, new lockers, and a new exercise physiology lab ule, will bring WCU into the health and fitness era of the 21st century. Those of us who are used to the old weight room may be amazed at the facilities now available to us. Anyone who is not fitness-oriented should take advantage of the opportunity to become educated about good health from knowledgeable, highly trained staff in a facility comparable to big-city, high priced health clubs. For information about thc fitness center or employment opportunities, call 227- 7069. The staff is friendly and more than willing to help. Parkway Opening Delayed for Maintenance by Dave Westbrook Staff Reporter The Blue Ridge Parkway has been closed for the winter but maintenance demands are inhibiting the reopening of the road for the public to enjoy. The section of the road between Cherokee and Balsam has been kept closed because of work being done on the bridge that passes over Hwy. 19. Ice and snow that built up on the bridge caused the concrete to crack. So maintenance crews have had to remove the blacktop and are replacing the concrete. Work that is done on the Parkway is usually done by seasonal employees and fur- loughed workers who help to remove trees and rocks that fall onto the road. The snow storm that came through in January knocked 415 trees onto the Parkway between Soco and Cherokee. Casualties included mainly Virginia pines and locusts due to the shallow root systems of these trees. In order to remove all debris, the Parkway maintenance crew has to access the areas in higher elevations but this year snow and ice have blocked entry to the more elevated parts of the Parkway. Salt is not used on the parkway to clear ice because it is detrimental to the road as well as dangerous to the environment so rangers must wait for warm weather to clear t e ice and snow. Officials stated that anoth factor that has contributed to the closing na been water seepage that has built up and no- zen to form ice in the tunnels. This ice c not be plowed because, unlike snow, it is ficult to break up and remove. Spring is an ideal time to view sights on the Parkway, but with leftover ^ age from the increased amount of snow year, there is doubt that the road ca opened before the middle of April be WCU's 12th Annual Tuckaseigee River Cleanup Several episodes of heavy rainfall over thc past year, including thc torrents that fell from thc sky as Hurricane Opal ripped through the region last fall, mean there is plenty of work to be done in the annual Tuckaseigee River Cleanup sponsored by Western Carolina University's Last Minute Productions.
