Restore your body’s Packing a better vitality and well-being with dynamic stretching lunch every day How many of you would like to have more energy within seconds? Would you enjoy the benefits of having less stiffness and pain, or muscle tension in your upper back, neck, or shoulders each day? Would having less stiffness and pain to your lower back, knees, or wrists improve your daily well-being and productivity? Do any of you suffer from frequent headaches or pain making it difficult for you to be productive and concentrate, or even control your temper at work or at home? By performing a Blue Zone Project® recommended worksite principle, the UnityPoint Health – St. Luke’s Dynamic Stretching Program, one to three times daily or up to every hour, you will see your daily vitality and well-being be optimized! Your body is a unique, one of a kind masterpiece, and it was created to move! You must choose to stay physically active daily for 30 or more minutes, which will energize your body, bring focus and creativity to your mind, and allow your spirit to soar over and through the difficulties and challenges of life. Moving your body frequently, improving your posture and work habits, and adding the occasional dynamic stretches with a three to five second hold, are very important for the reversal of our daily awkward, repetitive, and prolonged postures used throughout the day at work, at home or at play. Some common awkward posture habits observed which are leading musculoskeletal risk factors for stiffness, pain, or musculoskeletal injuries overtime are; 1) Lifting, forward bending, or reaching away from your body with your feet close together (shoulder width or narrower apart and directly across from each other) and not in a WorkSmart staggered stance athletic ready posture 2) Sitting with legs crossed, pulling your legs back underneath your chair, sitting on

your feet, or sitting with your hips spread wide apart and slouching 3) Reaching or lifting above shoulder level with your arms fully extended 4) Using your fingertips (awkward pinch posture with high forces), instead of your whole hand to operate your mouse 5) Prolonged awkward forward head posture (looking down) > 30 degrees while texting, using your smartphone or tablets, while walking, or playing video games and cradling the phone between your neck and shoulder Over time if these awkward and high force posture habits are not corrected and dealt with pro-actively, they may lead to excessive discomfort, stiffness or pain, increased stress and muscle tension, or even a musculoskeletal injury. When performing the St. Luke’s dynamic stretches one to three times daily you will reverse the daily awkward, repetitive and sustained postures which also encourage the reduction of daily stress and muscle tension. By reducing muscle tension, stiffness and pain, your body and mind will receive that energy boost needed to perform at your best and will even help improve your daily rest and recovery. Dynamic stretches should be performed one to three times daily or you may perform three to five of your favorite dynamic stretches up to every hour (as needed) by

Are you looking to make a healthy lifestyle change in your daily lunch? If you make your homemade lunches tasty, nutritious, satisfying and filling, you will have less temptation to eat out. Use the time you save on your lunch break to take a walk and enjoy the weather. This may sound simple but remember to take time to prepare. Wash your hands with warm, soapy water before you prepare or eat food. Plan ahead, this means shopping, washing fruits and vegetables, then store in a grab-and-go container. This will be key to your success. Build a better sandwich: ■■ Use whole wheat bread instead of enriched white or wheat breads, read the labels. ■■ Layer your sandwich with flavorful vegetables such as cucumbers, tomatoes, spinach, kale and bell pepper slices. ■■ Enjoy leftover home-cooked meats such as chicken breast or lean pork. ■■ Skip the high-fat mayo, mustard is a much better choice. Add some pickles. ■■ Keep condiments and wet ingredients in a separate container to avoid soggy bread. The Institute of Food Technologists offers some guidance for parents as they pack lunches: ■■ Start each day with a clean box or bag. Insulated, vinyl lunch bags are popular and do better at keeping foods cool than paper bags or metal lunch boxes. When kids come home, clean out lunch bags using warm soapy water and allow to dry completely overnight before packing the next day. This helps deter the growth of bacteria in the bag. ■■ Choose secure packing materials, such as sealable, single-use sandwich bags that can be disposed of when used, or reusable plastic wear that is dishwasher safe. ■■ As much as possible, opt for foods that are not perishable, such as peanut butter sandwiches. Single –serve fruits in prepackaged containers, such as natural apple sauce with no added sugar are also great options because they’re less perishable.
Home & Office DEB TWYFORD
■■ Encourage older kids to assemble lunch on their own at school. Pack bread in one container and place fillings like meat or cheese separately with a cold pack. Having kids assemble the sandwich themselves ensures the freshest possible results. ■■ Cold packs are designed to keep food cold, not cool it down. If you make the sandwich in the morning with roomtemperature ingredients, it’s unlikely the cold pack will be able to cool the food sufficiently. Instead, make the sandwich the night before and refrigerate the whole thing, or use refrigerated ingredients to ensure the sandwich starts out, and stays, cool. ■■ Always use a cold pack when you are packing anything perishable, like a sandwich with meat or fresh-cut fruit with a yogurt-based dip. Place the perishable food right against the cold pack in the bag. Wash the cold pack in warm soapy water after every use before returning to the freezer. ■■ For hot foods like chili, soup, or stew, use an insulated container. Before storing the food, fill the container with boiling water, let it stand for a few minutes, empty, and then add the hot food. Keep the container closed tightly until lunchtime to help minimize the risk of germs. Source: Health-e headlines August 2015 Don’t just eat, enjoy your lunch, and think about the good fuel you are giving your body. Your key to success is whether you are ready to make a change.

CF’s Port Neal plant mechanically complete DAVE DREESZEN
Business Journal editor
SERGEANT BLUFF | The $2 billion expansion of CF Industries’ Port Neal fertilizer complex is nearing completion. The new ammonia plant is mechanically complete, CF announced on Aug. 3. The 2,420-tons-per-day plant is expected to start production late in the third quarter, which ends Sept. 30, or the beginning of the fourth quarter, the publicly-traded company said. Construction continues on the 3,850-tons-per-day urea synthesis and granulation plant, which is expected to start up “closely thereafter,” the ammonia plant, company said. Deerfield, Illinois-based CF, one of the world’s largest producers of nitrogenbased fertilizer, updated the status of the Port Neal construction in its earnings report for the second quarter ended June 30. The company had earlier said it expected the ammonia plant to be completed in the second quarter. CF broke ground in the fall of 2013 on the mega expansion in rural Woodbury County, just south of Sioux City and Sergeant Bluff. At the time, it was the largest single private capital investments in Iowa history. After peaking at around 5,300 earlier this year, the number of construction workers at the site has gradually declined in recent weeks, as laborers finish their portion of the mega project. As of July 24, about 4,300 workers remained at the sprawling site, according to a CF report. While a reduction, that’s still more than double the original estimates at peak construction. Through July 24, more than 18.5 million man hours

After the completion, the hotel name will change to one of Marriott’s full-service brands, which will be announced at a later date, Gleeson said. Marriott International operates 19 brands internationally, including luxury, upscale, extended stay, and limited service brands. Full-service brands in the U.S. include Marriott, Ritz-Carlton, J.W.

water collection and purification, power generation, the wastewater system, the fire water system, cooling towers and various other functions. The new ammonia plant will triple the Port Neal complex’s daily production of ammonia, the basic building block for nitrogenbased fertilizers. The urea plant will produce granular urea, a solid nitrogen fertilizer that has not been produced at Port Neal in two decades. The expansion added 125 new full-time jobs, more than doubling CF’s Port Neal workforce. The new workers have been hired and have gone through training. Provided

PORK PLANT ON SCHEDULE
www.siouxlandbusinessjournal.com
Seaboard Triumph Foods facility set to open in mid-2017 DAVE DREESZEN
Business Journal editor
SIOUX CITY | By this time next year, hundreds of workers will be slaughtering hogs and processing pork in Sioux City’s Bridgeport West Business Park. Construction of the Seaboard Triumph Foods pork plant remains on schedule for commercial production to start up around July 31, 2017, said Irving Jensen III, director of community relations and government affairs. “It means the plant will essentially be complete well before that,” Jensen said. “We’ve been very fortunate any delays we’ve had weather wise haven’t been terribly material.” Ground was broken in September 2015 at the 258-acre site, lying north of Sioux Gateway Airport, east of the Missouri River and west of Interstate 29. A steel and concrete structure housing the 400,000-square-foot production area has since been rising out of the ground. In early August, workers were scheduled to begin installing the steel roof, with a rubber membrane. Contractors also have begun putting in the footings for an indoor stockyards with 112,000 square feet to hold up to 9,000 hogs at a time and a 200,000-square-foot warehouse that will refrigerate pork prior to shipping. Combined, there eventually will be 850,000 square feet of connected space under a single roof. Jim Lee photos, Sioux City Journal
LEFT: Workers are shown in a lift on Aug. 9 as construction continues on the Seaboard Triumph Foods pork plant in Sioux City.
www.siouxlandbusinessjournal.com
Jensen said the goal is to enclose the structures by around Halloween, allowing electrical and mechanical work to progress through the winter. The installation of equipment and machinery also will get underway. Around 300 construction workers are now on site, with that number expected to peak at more than 1,000. Epstein is the managing contractor for the $264 million project, believed to be the largest private economic development investment within the city boundaries. The Chicagobased firm has extensive experience building similar meat factories, including the Triumph Foods plant in St. Joseph, Missouri. The majority of the subcontractors are based in Siouxland. So too are most of the workers assigned to the project. “We’re trying to use everybody locally that we possibly can,” Jensen said. The plant will start with a single shift of about 1,100
Siouxland Business Journal, September 2016 15
salaried and hourly employees. If demand increases and the community can support the labor, a second shift could be added, creating an additional $50 million in capital investment and about 900 more jobs. Hiring locally for fulltime positions also will be a priority, Jensen said. With local unemployment at a near-historic low, though, officials expect they likely will need to recruit outside the tri-state region to fill many positions. It’s still early in the hiring process, however, Jensen said. Job fairs and other hiring efforts for production jobs are expected to begin in January and February. So far, about 10 managerial staff have been hired. That number is expected to eventually grow to around 200. “We’re gradually hiring our front office team, managers and supervisors,” Jensen said.

Pork FROM 15
When up and running, the plant will have the capacity to slaughter 10,200 hogs per day, or about 3 million per year. That equates to about 620 million pounds of pork with a single shift. The plant will serve the market for independent pork producers in the region. “The hog industry in Iowa is a $7.5 billion industry. Iowa produces more hogs than any other state in the country,” Marty Dougherty, the city’s economic development director, said in an interview in May. “It’s a natural fit for Sioux City.” The new factory’s $48 million-a-year payroll and spending on economic materials, supplies and services is expected to ripple through the local economy, creating new sales for a host of ancillary businesses, from truck drivers to pallet makers to cold storage warehouses.
Construction continues at the Seaboard Triumph Foods plant in Sioux City on Aug. 9.
“Projects of this size, we think the capital investment and number of workers has a great impact on the regional economy,” Dougherty said. Landing the project essentially replaces the more than 1,300 meatpacking jobs the city lost when the John
Morrell & Co. pork plant closed in April 2010. That aging facility, which has since been demolished, had been the last major slaughter plant in a city that built its fortunes on meatpacking and once boasted the world’s largest stockyards.
Seaboard Triumph Foods’ state-of-the-art plant will employ technologies and techniques to keep odors to a minimum. The Sioux City plant is modeled after the Triumph Foods’ St. Joseph factory, which opened in 2006.

solid waste as fertilizer to farmers,” Seaboard Triumph Foods Chief Operating Officer Mark Porter said in an interview in May. The mega project is a joint venture between Merriam, Kansas-based Seaboard Foods and St. Joseph-based Triumph Foods. Seaboard Foods is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Seaboard Corporation, a global conglomerate that operates a number of agriculture and ocean transport businesses. Triumph is owned by five member-owned pork producers in Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kansas, Illinois and Oklahoma. Seaboard Foods owns hog farms in Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado and Texas and processes hogs at its Guymon, Oklahoma, plant. Seaboard markets and sells fresh pork processed by Triumph and plants to domestic markets under the PrairieFresh Premium Pork brand and international markets under the Seaboard Farms and St. Joe Pork brands.
