PARK RIVER, N.D. -- The
day of the big homecoming game
in Park River on Sept. 6, Park
River Area School was making
some last minute adjustments to
the field with the addition of a
brand new scoreboard.
The old scoreboard was taken
down by late morning and the
new one was up not long after.
The three-piece Daktronic score-
board went up on the old posts
with time to spare. Park River
Area School Superintendant Kirk
Ham said that the old score-
board had been in place for prob-
ably around 40 years and it was
time for an update. The Park
River Class of 2013 donated
$4,000 dollars to the $15,000
project and Aggie Boosters and
the school contributed the rest.
Class of 2013 alumna Kendall
Slebodnik said that their class had
extra funds available and after
presenting a few ideas to Ham
about what the money could be
used for, the scoreboard project
was chosen.
The timing could not have
been better as the scoreboard
proudly displayed the Park Riv-
er/ Fordville-Lankin Aggies' 20
to 12 homecoming win over the
Lakota-Edmore-Dakota Prairie
Raiders.

women and is focused on muscle
endurance using several repeti-
tions.
"I believe we need to resistance
train," Robideaux said. The week-
ly class schedule focuses on re-
sistance training at its core with
cardio options such as Zumba,
kickboxing, and WAR, a combat
move cardio class, offered in be-
tween.
Robideaux explained that your
muscles are your armor and by do-
ing resistance training you are
helping to protect your body and
increase your metabolism.
Her hope is that by bringing in
these new classes it will help to
bring new people in as well.
The schedule includes:
Monday at 6 a.m. WAR, and
5:45 p.m, BodyPump
Tuesday at 6 a.m. cardio kick-
box, and 5:45 p.m. beginner's
BodyPump
Wednesday 6 a.m. Body-
Pump, and 5:45 p.m. Tabata
Thursday 6 a.m. beginner's
BodyPump, and 5:45 p.m. Zumba
Friday 6 a.m. BodyPump
"We can accommodate for 40 in
a class," she said of her lifting
classes.
She said that they try to change
the schedule every few months to
offer new options. She also offers
one-on-one nutritional consulta-
tions and she said they help to
track fitness goals through meas-
uring body fat and inches.
She said that she had one class
participant, Sarah Arndt, who re-
cently celebrated her 1-year an-
niversary at Peppi's Group Fitness
137 pounds lighter.
Since the gym opened, Ro-
bideaux said, they have had all
kinds of people come through the
doors including those with fami-
lies and full-time jobs who are
working hard rather than making
excuses not to.
She said that one of her favorite
things to do is look for inspira-
tional quotes and she recently
came across one she wanted to
share.
