02 Broadcaster Press September 16, 2014 www.broadcasteronline.com Plain Talk & Broadcaster announces Teen Gazette, Greek Revue Anytime Fitness By Alan Dale alan.dale@plaintalk.net It was time for a change and it wasn’t going to happen anytime without taking the initiative. So three-plus months ago, Anytime Fitness, 838 East Cherry Street, began an overhaul of its look and went about making the club a bit more snappy. Instead of running on a treadmill facing a wall, now members can look out a large, wall-length window, and take in the sights and movements outside. What was once a darker mood has now become brighter, popping with life and the movement of getting into shape. “The new ownership was the big change,” club manager Adam Ernesti said. “They really want to put something new into the business. We want to pretty much redo the whole club.” The majority of the remodel is complete, but the task of striving for near perfection isn’t as they still have to put in two flat screen televisions, a projector for the new classroom, and wrap up the finishing touches on a new bathroom, Ernesti said. “We made the gym a whole lot bigger so you can move around more,” Ernesti added. “I think everybody loves it. We are signing up new members. They like it because it’s clean and brand new.” Anytime Fitness member Grant Nielsen wouldn’t argue. “I love it because there is a lot more space, it’s open and with the classroom opening up it will be interesting to see what they have to offer,” Nielsen said. “There is a lot more space in the free weight area. It’s not as crowded as it used to be.” He also appreciates the ability to move around. “The machines were packed in and everything has its own area,” he said. “I tell people from work Are you becoming eligible for Medicare or looking to compare Medicare plans? See me as I represent many ?ne companies.

Ernesti said that the average sign-up cost is $90 so the opportunity is a “huge” one for anyone interested. “When I first joined I was just looking for a place to work out,” Ernesti said. “After I came here I started talking to the other members and we have created a community here. Like Grant, he’ll come in and he will talk to me every time he comes here. My goal as a manager is to make everyone feel comfortable.” Simply put, Anytime Fitness should be about being a good experience… anytime. “I am trying to make it comfortable for everyone and develop a friendship among the members,” Ernesti said. “Other gyms you see everyone is thrown together, packed in there, and there is no room to get on to machines.” For more information about Anytime Fitness contact 605-624-9250.

With the intent of creating a high school publication for the region, The Plain Talk & Broadcaster Press announces its intent to create the Teen Gazette within the next few months. The idea is to have a section dedicated to high school news, politics, sports, entertainment, and opinions, which is run solely by students, preferably in grades 1112. The Plain Talk staff would oversee the project and have final edit before going to print. “I was able to be a part of something like this and working for a major newspaper when I was 16, 17, 18-years-old and it really launched my career in journalism,” Alan Dale, The Plain Talk & Broadcaster Press general manager/managing editor said. “It was neat. I’d go out with my friends and they would introduce me to random other kids as ‘our reporter friend.’ I would love to give some talented students a chance to be able to create a career path at an earlier age like I was able to do.” The hope is to bring in an editor, a photography editor, a sports editor, and an opinion editor. All the work would be voluntary in the early stages, but Dale said that the hopes would be to eventually create a stipend for the editorial staff and the correspondents. Students from Vermillion, GayvilleVolin, Irene-Wakonda, Alcester-Hudson, Beresford High Schools and in outlying towns in Fall is Tree Planting Time! Nebraska are encouraged to pursue an opportunity with the Teen Gazette. Requirements include two letters of recommendation, a letter of permission to work by a parent/guardian and some clips of the prospective students’ work. No previous experience is required.

Greeks in the House Along with The Plain Talk’s plans to launch a Teen Gazette, it also expects to do something similar with the University of South Dakota’s Greek system. The PT is in talks with USD Greek life with the aim to begin The Greek Revue magazine. It would be dedicated to discussing all aspects of the fraternity and sorority life on the USD campus. It would consist of news, sports, entertainment, commentary, and house reports regarding Greek life at USD. Back in college Dale and three other college students ran a similar product as a largenumbered page monthly magazine and found the experience very beneficial. “I believe the same can be done here, but in small doses to start off,” Dale said. “The hope is for a minimum of four pages on a bi-weekly basis. If it takes off then we can see where we will go from there.” Dale plans to have meetings with members of Greek life administration in hopes of getting The Greek Revue prototype launched in the next few months.
