Dale Ham, the Director of the Smithfield Recreation and Aquatics Center just sent me an urgent email to say there are only ten days left to enroll in the center without enrollment fees. After that, you’ll have to pay an enrollment fee when you get your membership.
Get to the Parks and Recration office across the street from the Smithfield Middle School (it’s a white house with a bunch of cars in front of it - temporary until the center is built) and enroll.
I know, I know…you can’t be member #1 because I am. You’ll just have to live with that…but there is something you can do to get over it - get a membership at the SRAC. Your body will thank you for it. Get healthy Johnston County, join the SRAC today! Tell Dale that Jason Pedley sent you.
Here’s some more contact info for you:

If you’ve been down Booker Dairy Road in Smithfield, NC anytime in the past few months, you’ve probably noticed that there’s something big being built thanks to all the construction equipment. That’s the SRAC - the Smithfield Recreation and Aquatics Center. So, maybe you’re thinking “great, just another gym with a pool - big deal.” Well, it actually IS a big deal because there’s really nothing else like this in the area or in Johnston County. Take a look at what this center offers:
- An eight-lane competition pool
- Fitness room
- Strength training room
- Group fitness/aerobics room
- Indoor walking track
- Two racquetball courts
- A double-gym
- Splash pad
- Multipurpose rooms
- Concession area
- Banquet room
- Locker rooms
- Sitter service
- A place for birthday parties, crafts, personal training, camps, aquatics programs, senior activities and more…
And this is all in one place. As you can see, it’s WAY more than “just a gym.”
I told you it was important. The center is scheduled to open in January, 2009 and enrollment starts on September 8th. But don’t expect to be member #1 or member #2 because if you real the Smithfield Herald, 
you’ll know that the SRAC held a tagline contest that encouraged the public to submit taglines for the center’s brochures and other marketing material. The winner and runner-up from that contest are now currently members #1 and #2.
If you’re looking for a place in Smithfield to get in shape that offers more than “just a gym,” the SRAC is for you. There are affordable membership rates and plenty of amenities to make it worth your while. Enrollment starts September 8th, 2008, and for a limited time there is NO ENROLLMENT FEE. Also, the first 100 people to enroll in an annual contract get one free month.
Learn more about the SRAC through its blog. You can see construction photos, get answers to questions, contact info and more.
Oh, and the winning tagline entry: “The benefits are endless…”

Last week, it seemed like everywhere I turned I saw Miss Johnston County, Chelsea Ingram. Not in person, but online and in print. So I figured, why not blog about her since she has a very impressive, and personal platform.
Crowned in February, 2007 Chelsea’s has been on her current mission since she was 13 - the year her father (40 at the time) was diganosed with Coronary Artery Disease. With her classically trained voice and her platform already in place, Chelsea Ingram became interested in the Miss America program.
Winning the prestigious crown of Miss Johnston County in 2007 has given her the public attention she needed to get her message out to as many people as possible.
Since then, she has used her reign to teach people young and old about the number-one killer in America. Heart Disease. Chelsea’s father was her motivation for the healthy lifestyle she has today.
Summed up, Chelsea’s message is this: If you have someone in your family with heart disease, your chances of developing it in your lifetime increase. The same goes for your children. Take care of your heart. Eat well, exercise and visit your doctor regularly.
If you live in Johnston County, there are plenty of qualified doctors who can assess you and help you take care of your heart.
