Fire Marshals Encourage Cardiac Health & Prevention Following Heart Attacks

Kannapolis Fire Marshals Shane Pethel and Don Gray have a lot in common – they are firefighters, have a great sense of humor, love their families – and both had heart attacks in their early 50’s.For Shane, it was Summer 2018, and the City was having a weekend concert with fireworks, and he had been to the fireworks site to inspect it and ensure everything was properly setup. “I was hot and had put out an electrical box fire and after inspecting the fireworks I felt like I had pulled a muscle in my back.

Kannapolis Fire Marshals Shane Pethel and Don Gray have a lot in common – they are firefighters, have a great sense of humor, love their families – and both had heart attacks in their early 50’s.

For Shane, it was Summer 2018, and the City was having a weekend concert with fireworks, and he had been to the fireworks site to inspect it and ensure everything was properly setup. “I was hot and had put out an electrical box fire and after inspecting the fireworks I felt like I had pulled a muscle in my back. I decided to lay down on the lawn where we had the fireworks setup and just rest for a minute. Eventually, I felt a little better and got into my truck, picked up a coworker and took off to return to City Hall when the back pain returned. My coworker recognized that something besides back pain was happening and took me to urgent care,” Shane recounted. When doctors examined Shane, they found he was having a heart attack and he had an artery that was 99% blocked. He was transferred to a hospital where he received a stent and was able to go home 48 hours later.

Two years ago, Don had just completed the firefighter’s annual agility test – in eight minutes you run stairs, secure fire hoses, drag test dummies, breach a door, raise a ladder, and ventilate a roof. Once he completed the test Don said, “I could not catch my breath which is usually not a problem for me.” Fellow firefighters helped him get out of his fire gear and began to check his vital signs. The AED heart monitor showed he was having a heart attack. He was transported to the hospital and taken to the cardiac cath lab. “I remember the doctor telling me that I had a 100% blockage of what everyone calls the ‘widow maker’ artery and then everything went lights out.” Don coded and had to be shocked numerous times by doctors before his heartbeat was restored. He was also given a stent and amazingly was able to go home within 48 hours.

They now jokingly say you cannot work in their office unless you have had a heart attack. But all joking aside both men want you to pay attention to your health.

Looking back Shane had symptoms but ignored them. Shane said, “I had a couple of dizzy spells and light chest pain a couple of months before the heart attack, but I brushed it off as being overheated and tired. Don’s family has a history of cardiac issues, and he knew he had high blood pressure, but he decided to try to take care of it himself with exercise and diet. “I never had any chest pain beforehand.”

“Do not ignore your body and what it is telling you. Get a physical. Tell your doctor about your symptoms even if it may seem like something minor,” Shane further commented.

They feel blessed to have been around people who knew the symptoms of a heart attack, how to quickly respond, and how to get them to hospitals quickly. “Both of us were fortunate to be at work and not somewhere alone. Our coworkers recognized something was wrong and worked quickly to make sure we received immediate care,” Don said.

They are now on medications to prevent any further heart issues and receive regular checkups. “We are fortunate that we are still here and able to enjoy time with our families. We encourage everyone to take time to know the symptoms of a heart attack and to learn CPR.”

City of Kannapolis Approves Agreement for Purchase of Land for United States Performance Center Project

The Kannapolis City Council has approved additional steps in the process needed to bring the United States Performance Center to the City. The United States Performance Center (USPC) will partner athletes and researchers with the N.C. Research Campus together to prepare athletes for the rigors of Olympic and professional competitions.

The Kannapolis City Council has approved additional steps in the process needed to bring the United States Performance Center to the City. The United States Performance Center (USPC) will partner athletes and researchers with the N.C. Research Campus together to prepare athletes for the rigors of Olympic and professional competitions. The proposed facility would include utilizing technology, athletic fields, and research to provide testing and training for athletes, developmental programs for coaches and youth, sports medicine rehab, tournaments for youth and developing athletes and more.

The City Council approved an agreement that would allow the USPC to purchase 24 acres of property the City owns on 8th Street for $755,862.66. This location would likely be used for athletic fields.

The agreement also provides USPC with an option to purchase the former 15-acre Plant 4 site which is located at the intersection of Vance and Dale Earnhardt Boulevard. This location would be the headquarters for the USPC and is proposed to include indoor competition and training facilities and offices. Athlete dormitories might be a part of the overall project plan. USPC will have six months to provide the City with a site development master plan which will include specifics regarding the proposed development on the Plant 4 site, a financial plan for the project and a timeline for the project to be completed. If the City deems the plans to be sound the City will have the option to move forward with selling the Plant 4 property to USPC at the property’s fair market value.

Lastly, USPC has agreed to provide the City with a deposit of $1,133,793.99 that will be paid back to the City in increments as the plans and purchases of property move thru the due diligence and closing processes. This is the same amount of funds that the City had previously granted USPC as an incentive to move the project forward in Kannapolis. This amount does not include the purchase price for the Plant 4 property.

“This project has many moving parts, and we remain committed to getting it across the finish line. Our goal is to have the USPC headquarters and as many athletes as possible in Kannapolis with decentralized athletic facilities and competitions located throughout Kannapolis, Cabarrus and Rowan counties and greater Charlotte region. This will be another major anchor in our downtown and bring jobs, tourism and private investment to our City, “said Kannapolis City Manager Mike Legg.

The City of Kannapolis has been named one of the Top 15 Cities in the U.S. for Corporate Headquarters Relocation.

We have made significant investments in our infrastructure, public amenities, infrastructure, and city facilities. We have a bold strategic visionary plan for our City that is coming to fruition. We have already welcomed numerous companies and small businesses and we are just getting started. We welcome corporations to come and join us,” commented Kannapolis City Mayor Darrell Hinnant.

Rod Crider, President and CEO of Rowan Economic Development commented, “This ranking by two of the nation’s top site selection professionals is more evidence that Kannapolis is a premier destination for businesses. With its strategic location in the Charlotte region along the I-85 corridor, its available workforce, and a business-friendly environment, it is clear why it's been identified as a desirable location for corporate headquarters. Development is booming in Kannapolis and this recognition will surely help to spur additional high-quality growth in the future.”
