Elon students, faculty and staff members must decide whether they should go to Campus Rec or Gold’s Gym to workout.

Most students go to Campus Rec because of its on-campus location and the lack of a monthly or yearly fee. However, other students and faculty members go to Gold’s Gym because of the easy availability of equipment and the variety of group fitness classes that are offered.

Addictions haunt successful woman

Krista Naposki/ Special Projects Editor

Jill Mackin planted her first tomato and cucumber garden this spring. As she swings on her front porch bench on a Saturday morning, she reflects on her newfound interest. She grew up in the North and never expected to be in this North Carolina community, deadheading flowers and waiting for the tomatoes to turn red.


A year ago, Mackin wasn’t concerned with plants, gardening or relaxing on a bench outside. She was constantly occupied with her addiction to alcohol and drugs. When she came to Residential Treatment Services, she “felt like this old woman. I have never been suicidal, but I was ready for God to just snatch me up,” she said.
