Siouxland Initiative posts big membership gains DAVE DREESZEN

Business Journal editor‌

SIOUX CITY | Nearly 80 businesses and other organizations joined The Siouxland Initiative in the last year, boosting membership in the private tri-state economic development group by 55 percent.

The number of “investors’ in The Siouxland Initiative, or TSI, now stands at 123, up 79 from the 44 individual investors last year, TSI President Chris McGowan said.

McGowan announced the

rapid growth rate during TSI’s annual luncheon Oct. 28 at Country Celebrations i n S i o u x McGowan City. He attributed the increase to the efforts of the organization’s board of directors and past chairman Jim Jensen, who last year challenged more employers to invest in the organization.

The tri-state area’s robust

economy also played a role in the expanded membership rolls, he said.

“I think people have Perley recognized our efforts to grow the economy and our contributions to the overall region,” McGowan said in an interview after the meeting, Founded in 1988, the organization receives 100 percent of its budget from

voluntary donations. About 75 percent of its funding comes from the private sector, while the remaining 25 percent is generated from contributions from local governments and other public sector bodies.

Skip Perley, the new chair of the TSI board, highlighted the region’s economic successes. The $2 billion expansion of CF Industries Port Neal fertilizer complex has given a huge boost to scores of area businesses. With the thousands of temporary

construction workers assigned to the project gradually leaving town, the level of business activity is returning to a more normal level.

“But it will be a new normal, better than when they came,’’ he told the audience. Perley, CEO of Sioux City-based Tec Corp., cited a number of big-ticket projects that remain to be completed, such as the new Seaboard Triumph Foods pork plant in Sioux City and a major expansion of the Royal Canin pet food plant

in North Sioux City.

More than 100 business leaders attended the luncheon, which was sponsored

by Western Iowa Tech Community College. TSI’s annual meeting rotates among sites in Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota.

The keynote speaker for the TSI was Gene McNaughton, president of Elite Concepts Business Growth Consulting. McNaughton’s 20year career included over a decade at North Sioux Citybased Gateway Computers.

LE MARS, Iowa — The Iowa Economic Development Authority Board recently awarded financial incentives for three expansion projects in Northwest Iowa.

Le Mars-based Wells, makers of Blue Bunny ice cream and frozen novelties, is planning a $40 million upgrade and modernization project that will include a 6,000-square-foot addition and two new production lines to its South plant.

The expansion will create more than 80 news jobs, all of which will be incented by the state tax relief and

therefore must pay at least $16.09 per hour.

The state economic development board awarded the privately-owned, family business a $3 million tax relief package, the vast majority in an investment tax credit.

The South plant currently boasts 39 production lines. The company also operates another plant in the self-proclaimed “Ice Cream Capital of the World,” where it employs more than 2,000 people.

VT Industries was awarded more than $690,000 in tax refunds and credits toward the company’s expansion in Holstein.

VTI plans a $21 million, 184,500-square-foot expansion at its Holstein facility, which produces wood doors. The project is expected to create 60 new jobs, although only four will be incented by the state tax credits and thus be required to pay at least $16.26 per hour.

Bruening Eye Specialists in Sioux City was awarded nearly $99,000 in tax credits for a new complex in Sioux City.

Bruening, which has an office in Dakota Dunes, plans to build a $1.6 million, 7,000-square-foot office in Sioux City to serve as its primary location. The project is expected to create 13 new jobs, six of which will be incented and thus must pay at least $18.72 per hour.

Sioux City unveils downtown park Regina Roth to donate $500,000 for project IAN RICHARDSON

Business Journal staff writer‌

SIOUX CITY | A first-ofits-kind downtown park will be coming to Sioux City as early as 2017, thanks to a local donor who has contributed $500,000 to the project.

The halfacre Pearl Street park will be located at 620 Pearl St. in Salvatore the space b e h i n d the current KCAU Channel 9 building.

According to preliminary Scott designs, include green space, trees, a “sensory garden,” seating areas and tables.

The majority of the cost for the $517,500 park will be financed by a $500,000 donation by Regina Roth, a community leader and cofounder of Dakota Dunesbased Beef Products Inc. “I do hope this will be the first of many pocket parks,”

Roth said at a Oct. 20 news conference. “When you think about young people coming with their families to look, where do I want to settle, they look at things like bike trails and parks and green space.”

Construction could begin in spring 2017 and be complete by the end of the year.

Open green space in the downtown area has long been a desire of the city, Mayor Bob Scott said.

“Having space downtown, green space that would be a public green space, has been a real priority of the City Council,” he said. “This is a very exciting day in Sioux City.”

Parks and Recreation director Matt Salvatore said he believes the park will become a popular downtown destination for families and other users. He said its proximity to the LaunchPAD Children’s Museum directly across the street will make it an ideal spot for families. Its downtown location will also be in the vicinity of Food Truck Fridays and city offices for those wishing to enjoy an outdoor lunch.

Salvatore agreed that green space downtown has been a priority for several years.

How to practice mindfulness in a multitasking world

No matter what size business you own, MidAmerican Energy Company has rebates for many of the energy-efficient systems you need. And with EnergyAdvantage® programs, you benefit from the incentives, assessments and expert advice that are available. The power is in your hands with MidAmerican Energy.

Whether you work in a busy office or are a stay at home mom you will most likely experience stress from trying to accomplish too many things at one time.

Mindfulness is not just a corporate trend, but a proven method for success. Mindfulness is being focused and fully present in the here and now. Mindfulness is good for individuals and good for a business’s bottom line.

According to Dr. Romie Mushtaq, a neurologist with expertise in mind-body medicine, “you can replace multitasking habits with more directed practices to reduce stress and increase productivity.”

To clear away distractions and live in the moment, Dr. Mushtaq offers these tips for practicing mindfulness in a multitasking business: Focus on a single task for an allotted amount of time. You might say, “For 15 minutes, I’m going to read through my emails, and then for one hour, I’m going to make my phone calls.” If your job comes with constant interruptions that demand your attention, take several deep breaths and then prioritize them. Resist the urge to answer the phone every time it rings—unless it’s your boss. If someone asks you to drop what you’re doing to help with a problem, it’s okay to say, “I’ll be finished with what I’m doing in 10 minutes, then I’m all yours.”

When you get “stuck” in a task, change your physical environment to stimulate your senses. Sometimes we bounce from one task to another because we just don’t have the words to begin writing that strategic plan, or we’re staring at a problem and have no ideas for solutions.

That’s the time to get up, take a walk outside and look at the flowers and the birds or turn on relaxing music. Offering your senses pleasant and different stimulation rewires your brain for relaxation and reduces the effects of stress hormones, which helps to unfreeze your creativity center.

Delegate! We often have little control over the external stresses in our life, particularly on the job. Have compassion for yourself, and reach out for help. If you can assign a task to somebody else who’s

Home & Office DEB TWYFORD

capable of handling it, do so. If you need to ask a colleague to help you out, ask.

“Practicing mindfulness, whether it is simply taking deep breaths, or actually meditating or doing yoga, has been shown to alter the structure and function of the brain, which is what allows us to learn, acquire new abilities, and improve memory,” she said.

Dr. Mushtaq states “advances in neuroimaging techniques have taught us how these mindfulness-based techniques affect neuroplasticity,” Multitasking, on the other hand, depresses the brain’s memory and analytical functions, and reduces blood flow to the part of the right temporal lobe, which contributes to our creative thinking.

In today’s marketplace, creativity is key for innovation, leadership, and sustainability.

While it’s possible to practice mindfulness in a hectic workplace, Dr. Mushtaq said she encourages business leaders to make it part of the company culture. Stress-related illnesses are the number one cause of missed employee workdays.

“Offering mindfulness training and yoga classes or giving people time and a place to meditate is an excellent investment,” she said. “Your company’s performance will improve, you will see a reduction in stressrelated illnesses, and you will be a more successful businessperson.”

Source: health-e-headlines We all want to be sharper, more efficient, and more creative so let’s practice mindfulness in the workplace and at home.

Protect your knees daily with healthy posture and lifestyle habits

It's absolutely in our spirit.

pull your legs back underneath your chair, the tighter your hamstring and calf muscles will become. When you pull your legs back underneath your chair, you are typically on your tiptoes which shorten your calf muscles too. This awkward posture has the same impact that walking around on your tip toes would have.

From observing groups of people sitting, I believe that approximately 60% of us normally pull our legs back underneath our chairs when we sit. I notice this awkward and forceful posture increases while eating, with 80% to 90% of people. This posture increases the stiffness, pain and MSD risks for your knees and lower back over time. The more you flex or bend your knees greater than 90 degrees, the faster you may wear out the cartilage in your

back, and body healthy and flexible, with reduced stiffness and pain.

1. Calf Stretch - Stand facing a wall in a staggered stance with your left foot forward and right foot back (toes facing the wall to stretch your right calf). Have both hands reaching forward at shoulder height and lunge forward until you feel a stretch; then, hold for three to five seconds. Shift your hips to the right side and hold three to five seconds; shift hips to left side and hold three to five seconds. Repeat twice on each side. Then, look back over your right shoulder and hold three to five seconds.

Next, look back over your left shoulder and hold for three to five seconds. Repeat this twice on each side. To complete the stretch, repeat with the right foot forward and the left foot back to stretch your left calf.

2. Standing Hamstring Stretch - Stand up and extend your right leg in front of you onto a chair (without wheels and against the wall for stability) or the stairs, and gently pull the toes of your right foot back towards your head. Reach both of your arms in front of you towards your toes and hold for three to five seconds. You may want to

Crossing your legs and sitting on your feet compress the sciatic nerve that runs down the back of your leg. Overtime this may lead to sciatica nerve pain and burning that runs down the back of your leg, loss of muscle function over time, lower back pain and stiffness, or even an injury.

Working Smart Industrial Athletes sit with their feet flat on the floor or on a footrest when sitting to protect their knees and lower back. Ideally, if you are able, you should alternate between sitting with standing by looking into the purchase of a sit to stand adjustable desk.

When you are sitting or must sit, make sure to get up and move for 30 seconds to three minutes at least every hour if you are able. If you are not able to get up, try to fidget and rise up on your toes or heels, or tap your feet to kick start the blood supply in your lower legs when sitting.

WorkSmart dynamic stretches help protect your knees, reduce pain and stiffness and improve your quality of life. Perform the following dynamic stretches one to two times each day to keep your knees, lower

How many of you would enjoy having less stiffness or pain in your knees? Wouldn’t you love to be able to squat down to pick up your children and not pay for it later with aching knees? How many of you have stairs at home or work and avoid them because of the stiffness and pain in your knees?

How many of you limit your daily walking, running, or playing with your children or grandchildren due to knee pain?

Stay tuned everyone, because over the last 18 years as a physical therapist specializing in ergonomics and injury prevention, I’ve observed some of the most common awkward sitting posture habits that I believe are the leading causes of knee stiffness, pain and injury overtime.

The three most common awkward sitting posture habits that are damaging and aging your knees: 1. Pulling your legs back underneath your chair when sitting 2. Crossing your legs 3. Sitting on your feet When you pull your legs back underneath your chair, your hamstring and calf muscles are in a shortened position and therefore get stiffer and tighter overtime.

Perley takes helm of Siouxland Initiative board Jim Lee, Sioux City Journal

Skip Perley is the new chairman of the Siouxland Initiative. The CEO of TEC-Corp is a lifelong Sioux Cityan who wants to see the city move forward in attracting new businesses and developing the ones it has already.

TEC-Corp. CEO looks to build on region’s economic growth IAN RICHARDSON

Business Journal staff writer

SIOUX CITY | Skip Perley has called Sioux City home his entire life.

The 61-year-old CEO of TEC-Corp. said part of what’s kept him here so long is the love for the people and the opportunities the town offers to make an impact.

“It’s so easy in Sioux City to get involved and make a difference if you want to,” Perley said. “It’s a big

enough community where there’s a lot of things going on that you can help with, but small enough that individually you can make a difference.”

Now, Perley plans to continue making a difference in his new role as chairman of The Siouxland Intiative’s board of directors.

The Siouxland Initiative, or TSI, is a private economic development group that gets about 75 percent of its funding from

local businesses and other employers and 25 percent from donations from local governmental bodies.

The organization, which formed in 1988, is affiliated with the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce.

TSI membership increased by 55 percent just last year, which leaders of the initiative attributed to a strong economy in the tri-state area and the work

USS Sioux City crew visits namesake city NICK HYTREK

Business Journal staff writer‌

SIOUX CITY | Petty Officer 3rd Class Tony Dailey is thrilled to be serving on board a ship named for a city in his home state.

“When I first saw the orders, I was blown away,” Dailey said. “It brings home to me when I’m so far Snyder away.”

D a i l e y, who grew up in Richland, Iowa, near Ottumwa, will be the lone Iowan among the Dailey initial 53 crew members of the USS Sioux City. Dailey has family ties to Sioux City. His father attend- Shaw ed elementary school in Sioux City before the family moved to eastern Iowa.

During a recent visit to the ship’s namesake city, Dailey and nine other crew members so first hand many Sioux City landmarks and traditions while learning more about the city and the people who live here.

Justin Wan, Sioux City Journal

Cmdr. Randy Malone, center, and other members of the USS Sioux City talk to East High School students on Nov. 10. Ten members of the crew of the new Naval ship made a series of public appearances in Sioux City during the week of Veterans Day.

“We wanted to bring crew members out here so people get to know them.

Veterans Day weekend made sense. It allows us to get to know the city and the city to get to know us,” said Cmdr. Shockey Snyder, who will be the ship’s first commanding officer.

The USS Sioux City was christened and launched

Jan. 30 at the Marinette Marine Shipyards in northern Wisconsin, where construction is now complete and builders are conducting systems testing.

Crew members arrived in Sioux City Wednesday.

In addition to seeing some local attractions, the crew visited schools, helped serve lunch at the

Gospel Mission, dropped the puck at Saturday’s Sioux City Musketeers hockey game and provideded the color guard at the Veterans Day service at the Woodbury County Courthouse and for a Morningside College football game.

It will be a while before the USS Sioux City travels

abroad. Months of testing lie ahead. The current time line calls for the ship to leave Wisconsin and Lake Michigan next November and head for the commissioning site, which has yet to be determined, but will be on the East Coast.

A commissioning date has yet to be set.

While in Sioux City,

the 10 crew members attended a private luncheon at the Sioux City Convention Center sponsored by The Siouxland Initiative and Siouxland Chamber of Commerce. Attendees were encouraged to get involved with a local commissioning committee and to contribute to a fund that will cover expenses for a series of special events leading up to the commissioning ceremony.

Once commissioned, the USS Sioux City will go to its home base in Mayport, Florida, before it’s deployed. Snyder said it’s most likely to be deployed to the Middle East in the Arabian Sea and Red Sea areas, but “the ship could be deployed anywhere.”

The USS Sioux City and other ships in the new littoral combat class are designed to be used closer to the shoreline and be used for mine detection, clearing mines, anti-submarine warfare and surface warfare.

Petty Officer 1st Class Magalie Shaw said it’s an honor to be among the first crew to serve on board a new ship. The first crew determines many of the initial policies.

“You set the standard once you step on board,” Shaw said. “We’ll see what works and what doesn’t work.”

Skip Perley

EDUCATION: Graduated from Western Iowa Tech Community College’s Electric Apprenticeship Program, 1980. Graduate of Sioux City East High School, 1973.

AGE: 61 HOMETOWN: Sioux City POSITION: CEO of Tec Corp

FROM PAGE 12 of previous chairman Jim Jensen, who last year encouraged many businesses to join.

“I want to certainly continue the great work that’s been done by the board and the staff and previous chairman Jim Jensen,” Perley said. “We have a lot of really good things happening in Siouxland, and I believe the Siouxland Initiative is a key player in a lot of those projects. I’d like to continue that.”

Perley graduated from Sioux City East H igh School in 1973. A few years later, he entered an electrical apprenticeship program at Western Iowa Tech Community College, during which he worked fulltime at Thompson Electric Co. while attending classes two nights a week.

Siouxland Business Journal, December 2016 21

Jim Lee, Sioux City Journal

TEC-Corp. CEO Skip Perley, shown Nov. 11 in his Sioux City office, is the new chairman of The Siouxland Initiative Board of Directors.

Perley said it was a family friend who worked as an electrician that inspired him to follow that career path, and it’s turned out to be a good choice. Following his graduation from the four-year program in 1980, Perley continued working at Thompson Electric fulltime and went on to work

every management position in the company.

He was promoted to president of Thompson Electric’s Sioux City-based parent corporation, TECCorp., in 1997 and took the reins as its CEO in 1999.

TEC-Corp.’s divisions include both Thompson Electric, one of the region’s

largest and oldest electrical contractors, and Electric Innovations, a division formed in 2000 that offers technical services like IT support, computer network hosting and the installation, testing and maintenance of fire alarms, security and surveillance systems.

The company in 2013 consolidated of all of its Sioux City operations under one roof, moving into renovated three-story building at 2300 Seventh St., tripling the companies’ space.

During his time in leadership, Perley has been well-connected with the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce. He is a former chairman of the Chamber

board and has been on the board of the Siouxland Initiative in years past, most recently as vice president and treasurer during the past year. He remains involved in other local community groups, as well.

Perley said right now is a unique time for Siouxland, with two major road projects providing better transportation in and out of the area that will be advantageous to local commerce.

“I believe in that adage that access, which in this case really means roads, means growth,” Perley said. “I think we have a unique opportunity right now with Highway 20 getting completed soon and Interstate 29 finishing up

soon, too, to where our ground transportation will be better than it’s been in a long, long, long time.”

Perley said he also thinks Sioux City has an opportunity to become known regionally for its manufacturing technology.

“I think we currently have manufacturers in our community using some pretty high-tech tools and machines, so we have a growing base of skill,” he said. “I would like to see us promote that and attempt to become known, at least regionally, as a center for excellence in manufacturing technology.”

Perley has been married to his wife, Cathy, for 27 years and has a grown stepson and stepdaughter.

We Care

for the Employees You Care For

An industry leader, our team of physical,

WHEN EXPERIENCE COUNTS. Count on the team that cares for your employees.

FROM PAGE 11 perform this dynamic stretch by a wall, another chair or by the railing of the stairs as this stretch does challenge your balance.

Roll your leg/foot to the inside and hold for three to five seconds, then roll your leg to the outside holding for three to five seconds.

Repeat this leg rotation for two to three repetitions.

Another way to tweak this dynamic stretch is by reaching with both of your hands the opposite direction of your leg/foot rotation. Note: It is very common for you to feel more stiffness or pain when you rotate across the front of your body because the hip internal rotation is typically very limited due to how much we cross our legs or stand in the toe out position.

3. Sitting P iriformis Stretch - This stretch is performed by sitting up tall and crossing your right leg over your left knee to stretch the right side.

Turn your body to the right and gently pull your right

knee up towards your left shoulder and hold for three to five seconds. Repeat two times. Then, repeat with your other side. You will want to perform this WorkSmart stretch more often to the side that you find to be tighter while performing this stretch. The side that is tighter is the side you tend to cross or sit with your knees apart and stand in a toe out posture for longer periods of time.

4. Hip Flexor Stretch - Stand in a staggered stance with your right foot forward and left foot back, with feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart.

You may put your front foot on a chair or on the stairs to increase this stretch, but I recommend beginning in this staggered stance posture. Now lunge forward and lean back with hands on your hips and reach with your left hand back overhead holding for three to five seconds. Repeat two to three repetitions.

Now, reach with left arm straight up and then sidebend to the right away from

your back leg and hold for three to five seconds for two to three reps. Finally, rotate and reach with your left arm across your body like reaching back behind you and hold for three to five seconds, and repeat two to three reps. Now switch stagger stance putting left foot forward and right foot backward and repeat above directions for two to three repetitions to stretch out your hip flexor muscle that gets shorter and tighter the longer you sit.

I’ll be looking forward to seeing you sitting up tall, or standing in a staggered stance with both feet flat on the floor or on and footrest and a huge smile on your face as your knee pain, stiffness and wellbeing improves!
