Alan Page to headline annual chamber dinner HILLARY ROSENCRANTS

Business Journal staff writer‌

SIOUX CITY | Former Minnesota Supreme Court Justice and Vikings standout Alan Page will be the keynote speaker at the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce’s annual dinner and meeting on Sept. 22.

Chamber officials revealed the speaker at a news conference on July 14.

Page served as an associate justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court from 1993 until

he reached the court’s mandatory retirement age of 70 in 2015.

While attending the Page University of Notre Dame, Page led the Irish to a national championship in 1966, and earned a degree in political science in 1967.

Page was a first-round d ra f t c h o i c e by t h e

Minnesota Vikings, and played in all four of the Vikings Super Bowl appearances. In 1971, he was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player. Page was the first defensive player in the NFL to receive this accolade.

While playing professional football, Page attended law school at the University of Minnesota and earned a Juris Doctor degree in 1978. He was the first African-American to serve on the Minnesota Supreme Court.

Page also founded the Page Education Foundation in 1988 with his wife, Diane, which provides financial and mentoring assistance to students of color looking to further their educations in return for volunteer services in their respective communities.

“Justice Page has distinguished himself as an athlete, an attorney and as a state Supreme Court Justice,” said Darrell Jesse, chairman of the Siouxland

Chamber of Commerce’s board of directors and a partner in t h e C ra ry Law Firm. “ H i s e x - Jesse traordinary accomplishments, both on and off the gridiron, coupled with his current efforts to address the complex and challenging issues related to race relations in this country, make him one of the most

remarkable and compelling figures on the nationals peaking circuit today.”

As usual, this year’s dinner will be held at the Sioux City Convention Center. Reservations are $80 per person for Chamber of Commerce members and $95 for nonmembers. Limited sponsorships, which include admission to a private reception with Page and premium event seating, are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Thank You To The Queen’s Court Sponsors!

Reverse and prevent Control blood pressure text neck, carpal tunnel syndrome, and tendonitis pain When using your smartphone or cellphone, do you have your head down? What happens to your posture after sitting down or standing up while working at your desk for 30 minutes or longer? Does your head tend to hang down in front of your shoulders as you lean forward towards your screen?

This is one of the most common awkward and high force posture habits. It is stealing your energy level, daily well-being, and is a leading musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) risk factor for headaches, shoulder tendonitis, tennis elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

This is a typical awkward posture and high force habit the majority of workers use daily.

STOP, and check your posture habits right now! Are you leaning forward or looking down to read this article? Or are you leaning forward with your head, shoulders, and lower back all slumping forward and down?

If you said yes, you aren’t alone, however my goal for this article is to raise daily awareness of this awkward and high force posture habit.

Awkward posture habits of the neck are the leading risk factors of headaches, neck stiffness and pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back pain, and tendonitis of the shoulders, elbows, wrists and thumbs. Take control of your musculoskeletal health and well-being, and to improve your daily vitality by improving your neck and shoulders posture habits.

Forward head posture (FHP) and slouched sitting or standing posture habit is the most common and damaging of all awkward postures. The great news is that you have the power to reverse and correct the forward head posture and slouched sitting or standing posture habits. It takes daily awareness and some work by you and your employer working together to reduce these ergonomic and postural risk factors.

FHP is a rounded shoulders posture habit.

This places the ligaments of the upper back on a sustained stretch, creating mechanical and nutritional stress leading to pain and swelling. It also reduces the normal curves of the neck and lower back leading

Business Know How ERIK NIEUWENHUIS

to increased time spent in a forward head posture and flat back posture of the lower back, which both increase risks for stiffness, pain or MSD injury overtime.

FHP places the neck muscles on the sides of your neck and shoulders to face an excessive workload and posture demands. Overtime, this awkward habit leads to compression of the nerves and blood vessels between the neck and shoulders (which excites the nerves) and greatly increases the risk of MSD problems. This is called “thoracic outlet compression”, and is a leading risk factor for tendonitis of the elbow, wrist/hand and thumbs, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

I have discovered a powerful recipe of WorkSmart Industrial Athlete posture habits and ergonomic principles, combined with musculoskeletal self-care techniques, manual therapy treatments, and lifestyle factors that help improve carpal tunnel syndrome, text neck, and tendonitis complaints.

Transform your musculoskeletal wellbeing by following these recommendations: ■■ When using your smartphone or tablet, hold the phone or tablet out in front of you at approximately mid-chest height and 1012 inches away from your body, versus the awkward posture I see frequently which is holding your phone or tablet at waist level and almost right next to your body.

■■ Improve your computer workstation setup by making sure your monitor is at the correct height (approximately eye level for most people without bifocals or trifocals). If you use a laptop, set

According to the American Heart Association, about one in three U.S. adults has high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a major risk factor for life changing health problems such as: stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney disease.

Anyone can get high blood pressure and as we get older, the likelihood of developing high blood pressure increases. Being overweight or obese or if you have diabetes increases the odds even more.

Hypertension has been dubbed the silent killer, because there are usually no symptoms. Your numbers are your only warning.

What are “good” blood pressure numbers? Lower than 120/80 is considered a normal, healthy reading. Higher numbers up to 139/89 suggest prehypertension, this is when you need to start making lifestyle changes to avoid hypertension. A reading of 140/90 or higher is considered hypertension.

Which number is more important, top (systolic) or bottom (diastolic)? According to the American Heart Association, typically more attention is given to the top number as a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease for people over 50 years old. In most people, systolic blood pressure rises steadily with age due to increasing stiffness of large arteries, longterm build-up of plaque, and increased incidence of cardiac and vascular disease.

To protect your health, it’s important to have your blood pressure checked by a professional at least once per year. A blood pressure check measures the force of blood pushing against the artery walls as the heart pumps blood. This pressure normally rises and falls throughout the day, but when it stays high over time, it is called high blood pressure. This is a chronic condition that damages arteries and requires the heart to work harder than normal to circulate blood to the organs.

Steps can be taken to prevent and control high blood pressure: • Consult your health care professional.

Ask what your blood pressure numbers are and what they mean.

• Take medications as prescribed. If you need medication, make sure you understand what it’s for and how and when to take it.

• Reduce salt and sodium intake. Limit sodium intake to no more that 2,300 mg daily, or about 1 teaspoon’s worth, of salt each day, the general level the government recommends for most Americans. Speak with your physician about your salt intake.

• Lose weight if you are overweight and maintain a healthy weight. Studies have

Home & Office

DEB TWYFORD

shown that blood pressure numbers can drop by five points with a weight loss of just 5 to 10 percent.

• Eat heart healthfully. Follow an eating plan that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, and low fat dairy products and is moderate in total fat and low in saturated fat and cholesterol.

• Become more physically active. Work up to at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise--any activity that increases the heart rate and breathing, including gardening, walking, and swimming--every day.

• Quit smoking. Smoking increases your chances of developing a stroke, heart disease, peripheral arterial disease, and several forms of cancer.

• If you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation. For men, that means a maximum of 2 drinks a day, for women, a maximum of 1 drink per day.

A good way to check your own blood pressure can be done by purchasing a digital cuff. Make sure the cuff is properly positioned on the arm. Relax, with your arm supported on a table, when you take your readings. Digital arm cuffs typically cost less than $100.

Work with your physician if you have been prescribed medication for blood pressure. Different categories of medications can produce different side effects. It is important to find the right medication and take it as prescribed.

When checking blood pressures during wellness coaching or onsite nursing, I’m often asked the question, “when is a blood pressure too low?” According to the American Heart Association, although it is possible that low blood pressure can alert you to a problem, it is usually only dangerous if it causes notable signs and symptoms. These symptoms could be dizziness or lightheadedness, fainting (called syncope), dehydration and unusual thirst, lack of concentration, blurred vision, nausea, cold, clammy, pale skin, rapid and shallow breathing.

Royal Canin prepares for more growth in North Sioux New pet food plant set to open in 2019 in North Sioux City EARL HORLYK

Business Journal staff writer

NORTH SIOUX CITY | After more than five years of planning and negotiations, ground was officially broken June 27 for Royal Canin USA’s new $120 million pet food plant in North Sioux City.

“We knew there was a growing demand for our pet food back in 2011,” said Keith Levy, president of Royal Canin USA, which currently operates a 130,000-square-foot plant at 630 North Derby Lane.

“The time was now right for the company to reinvest (in southeast South Dakota).”

Levy spoke at a ceremony at the construction site that was attended by scores of state, regional and local leaders.

Gov. Dennis Daugaard cited South Dakota’s strong work force, high quality of life, no state income tax and reasonable governmental regulations as reasons why corporations move to the state as well as expanding their existing businesses.

“Royal Canin could’ve built a new plant anywhere in the country,” Daugaard told the audience, “but after thoughtful deliberation, the company chose to remain in South Dakota.”

Daugaard said about $60

million will be spent on constructing the new plant, and another $60 million will go toward state-of-the-art equipment.

The new plant is expected to begin production in early 2019. Levy said the old facilities will be used in the interim but likely will be demolished in the future.

At the present time, Levy said there are no plans to expand Royal Canin’s current local workforce of 185 employees.

Royal Canin is a subsidiary of McLean, Virginiabased Mars Inc. Founded by a veterinary surgeon in a French village in 1968, Royal Canin specializes in brands formulated for the dietary

needs of specific breeds of dogs and cats.

North Sioux City city administrator Ted Cherry said Royal Canin’s expansion plans may spur future development for the community.

“North Sioux City boasts a diversified workplace,” he said. “(Royal Canin’s) expansion means North Sioux City is a community on the rise.”

Northwest Iowa stores see sales rise during annual tax-exempt weekend

HILLARY ROSENCRANTS

Business Journal staff writer

SIOUX CITY | Some apparel stores in Northwest Iowa can expect a 30 percent or more increase in sales during Iowa’s annual taxfree weekend.

During this year’s weekend, Aug. 5-6, the 5 percent states sales tax and the 1 percent city and county sales taxes are waived on select clothing and footwear items priced under $100.

In Woodbury County, shoppers, for example, save 7 percent, or $7 on an item priced $100.

Deb Speckmann, owner of What Women Want Boutique in Sioux City, looks forward to the weekend as a local business owner.

“I think everybody’s just excited to save a little bit of money,” Speckmann said. “A lot of people think it’s just ‘Oh, I’ll get my kids school clothes,’ but it’s really for everybody – I have a lot of teachers and secretaries that take advantage of it.”

Speckmann said the tax free weekend is a great thing for the community, because “any little bit that we can help out our shoppers is a good thing.”

While What Women Want doesn’t run any additional sales promotions, Speckmann takes care to ensure that her store is ready for the increased foot traffic by stocking her shelves, adding an employee, and a special treat: “Sometimes we’ll have it so they can have a glass of wine while they shop, just to make it a little more intriguing, and make it kind of a fun adventure, too.”

James Clakeley, marketing director for Southern Hills Mall, said the tax free weekend is always huge for them. Though they don’t disclose information about foot traffic inside the mall, Clakeley said the weekend is always certain to bring full parking lots. Tax free weekend is the mall’s second largest shopping weekend of the year, behind Thanksgiving’s Black Friday.

“We continue to have great appeal to budget and style-conscious shoppers, so with the tax-free

incentive we do see a huge increase,” Clakeley said.

Over that weekend, Southern Hills offers a “sidewalk sale” with discounted items from their retailers, a vendor craft show, and a blood drive in conjunction with LifeServe Blood Center.

Clakeley said a lot of people go out looking for backpacks, although they are not covered by the tax free discount. “In anticipation of the new school year, people will be out looking for deals on clothes and shoes,” he said. “They’ll be at Buckle and Vanity and Famous Footwear and Journeys looking for the trendiest items, also Barnes and Noble looking for literature and school supplies – things like that.”

Torrey Wingert, vice president and chief financial officer of Sioux City-based Bomgaars, said the weekend is good for its chain of

stores in Iowa, too.

“Getting over the slow of spring and summer, it’s a nice little bump,” Wingert said. “People are just getting ready for fall, thinking ahead to what they’ll need to try and take advantage of the savings.”

While Bomgaars does not offer some of the traditional backto-school items associated with tax-free weekend, it does still see a surge in purchases during the weekend.

“We’re more of a work wear place and we don’t have a lot of fashion or kids clothing,” Wingert said. “A lot of people are coming in to buy the basics – blue jeans and leather boots, stuff like that.

That’s our big seller that weekend.”

A number of retailers offer additional discounts for tax free weekend as extra incentives to get people through the door and looking

around, Bomgaars included.

Bomgaars offers a 15 percent discount on all clothing and footwear during the tax-free weekend in all stores, including those in the rest of its seven-state region.

Britni Hilts, owner of the Morningside consignment shop Envy My Closet, said she feels

good about what her store has to offer shoppers and what Tax Free Weekend does for local business.

“It’s great sales days for us, and I’m sure lots of other people too,” Hilts said.

Hilts said her store does about four times the amount of sales of a usual weekend, and they will make sure they are fully equipped before opening their doors that Friday. Hilts offers a 50-percent-off clearance sale, and a 20-percentoff summer sale on top of that.

“It’s a good increase in sales traffic because everybody’s stocking up on back-to-school items, and our goal is to make sure our shelves are completely full when shoppers come through on those days,” she said.

Hilts’ staff makes an effort to set out as much fall merchandise as possible in preparation for the weekend.

Know How From 7

your computer on a two to threeinch three ring binder to raise the monitor height and reduce FHP risks.

■■ If you use a laptop more than three to four hours daily, it would be highly recommended to purchase a laptop stand and external keyboard and mouse to improve ergonomic setup, and reduce

awkward posture risk factors.

■■ Purchase and use a document holder to prop any paperwork you are using upright, instead of lying flat on your desk.

■■ Sit with both of your feet flat on the floor or a footrest, and reduce awkward sitting posture habits such as pulling your legs back underneath your chair, crossing your legs, sitting on your feet, or spreading your legs wide apart.

■■ Avoid resting your wrist over the sharp edge of your desk

when working on your laptop or computer. This awkward posture compresses the median nerve and is called “contact stress”. This greatly increases wrist tendonitis and carpal tunnel syndrome risk factors.

■■ When operating your mouse, use your whole hand and not just your fingertips to pinch and operate your mouse, which greatly reduces the MSD risks to your elbows, wrists and thumbs.

■■ Perform one to three times daily the WorkSmart dynamic

stretching program from St. Luke’s to reduce stiffness and pain, improve your energy level, reduce stress and muscle tension.

■■ Perform the Snakebite technique two to three times each week up to daily, until your symptoms of tendonitis or carpal tunnel syndrome resolve.

■■ Perform ice massage one to three times daily for two to four minutes until numb over the inflamed and painful tendons or nerves to reduce inflammation and pain.

www.siouxlandbusinessjournal.com

■■ Drink at least 40+ ounces of water daily, working towards half your body weight in ounces.

■■ Perform strength or circuit training two or three times each week for your upper back, shoulders, core, and hips.

By Working Smarter daily as an Industrial Athlete and by improving your daily posture habits and following these ergonomic principles and lifestyle habit recommendations, this will allow you to improve your musculoskeletal health and well-being.

IS YOUR INTERNET ACCESS FUTURE-PROOFED? Making the Right Connections

A New Business Fast Lane

There’s an old axiom that goes, “Success is all about making the right connections.” In today’s workplace, that’s never been truer. Our reliance on the Internet, the cloud and vast volumes of data has become so complete that few of us can do our everyday work without instant access. Whether we’re working with applications, gathering and exchanging information, engaging with social media or interacting with employees and customers, our jobs demand that we be connected throughout the workday at speeds that allow us to share, send and retrieve anything in seconds. No matter what the industry, highperformance connectivity is no longer a luxury, but essential to remaining competitive.

How do you find a fast, reliable Internet connection today, with the speed and capacity for what’s coming tomorrow? Many are turning to dedicated fiber-optic solutions to deliver a reliable, scalable, high-bandwidth connection for their business needs.

Supported by their state-of-the-art, fiber-optic backbone, Cable ONE Business offers Dedicated Internet Access with scalable speeds up to 1 gigabit that is fit for businesses of all sizes and industries. With a partner that provides 24x7x365 proactive monitoring and an impeccable uptime of 99.99%, Cable ONE Business customers gain peace of mind knowing they’ve otimized their company’s Internet access for years to come.

The Other Traffic Jam While continuous Internet connectivity offers huge efficiencies to nearly every business and industry, it also brings difficulties. Current infrastructure can bog down under the strain of expanding data traffic. Increasingly, the technologies that made sense for business in the past have become performance and productivity bottlenecks. T1 lines and microwave networks simply weren’t designed for the skyrocketing speeds and volumes we now work with. Today’s routine activities—exchanging emails and large files, collaborating with voice and video or accessing information from the cloud—require more speed, bandwidth and uptime than ever before. This requires an improved infrastructure, one that’s scalable to increasing demands, yet affordable to limited budgets.

High-performance connectivity is no longer a luxury, but essential to remaining competitive.

Keeping up with today’s growing connectivity demands shouldn’t have to be a constant struggle. By making the right connections, business like success—becomes a whole lot easier.
