American Eagle, a regional carrier of American Airlines, on April 13 began offer two daily, non-stop flights between Sioux Gateway Airport and Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Eagle, which flies regional routes for its parent airline, replaced Delta Air Lines as the lone carrier at the Sioux City airport. Delta flew its last connecting route to Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport on the morning of April 13.

American: Chicago flights begin FROM PAGE 4 Having direct service to one of the nation’s largest commercial hubs should help Sioux City’s efforts to recruit new or expanding businesses, Mayor Bob Scott said. “We’re excited about what this will do for economic development in the community,” Scott told more than 35 local officials who gathered in the airport terminal for a ceremony to mark the start of Eagle’s service. The city hosted a public reception in the terminal, treating guests to iced tea, lemonade and cake decorated with a miniature American jet and local landmarks that included the Sgt. Floyd Monument. The first passengers also received certificates and ommemorative baggage tags bearing American’s name and logo and Sioux

Secret of bringing ‘blue chip’ acts to the Tyson Events Center BY EARL HORLYK
Business Journal staff writer
By day, Aran Rush may be the executive director of the Sioux City Convention Center and Tourism Bureau. But by night, is he a “Rocket Man” fan? Could be, since Rush calls landing Elton John to play a May 3, 2011 soldout Tyson Events Center show one of the proudest moments of his career. Rush attributes the booking of the singing legend into the 8,000 seat Tyson to timing and patience. “We started working on bringing Elton to Sioux City a year-and-a-half before it happened,” Rush remembered. “We made a good run for his (“Greatest Hits”) tour, put in a bid and was initially passed over.” Then, as Sir Elton was coming back from the April 29, 2011 wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, the entertainer added Sioux City to

Tyson: Sporting events abound FROM PAGE 7 If hockey and indoor arena football aren’t your thing, the Tyson has also brought the CNOS Basketball Classic and the NAIA tournaments to the region. Which isn’t bad for the arena, which will be celebrating its 10th anniversary in Dec. 2013. “The Tyson is gaining a reputation for being able to put people in the seats,” Rush said. “Bottom line, that’s what every event and every entertainer ultimately wants.” Yet Rush acknowledges Tyson concerts tend to lean heavily towards country entertainers. “2011 was the exception in that a pop act (Elton John) was our top concert,” he said. “Ordinarily, concerts featuring country acts are our biggest moneymakers.” Rush said booking country acts are easier because “the Midwest is their natural audience base.”

As it prepares for its 10th anniversary in Dec. 2013, here are some interesting facts you may not know about the Tyson Events Center. There are more than 1 million linear miles of wiring in the events center. More than 80,000 square feet of concrete was used in the construction of the events center. There are 259 doors in the facility. It took more 3,500 gallons of paint to cover the events center. Seven colors were used.
Snagging “blue chip” acts of other genres require more persistence and greater support from the community. “For country stars, we’re fishing in a smaller pond,” Rush said. “For all other acts, the pond becomes much larger.” That’s why Rush recommends people to list acts
they want to see on Tyson’s Facebook page. “We always have our eyes on acts that people want to see at the Tyson,” he said. “If there’s popular support, we’ll do what we can to bring them here.” All it takes is timing and a little patience.

St. Luke’s Health System works to make back pain fade away How many of you have children, and love to pick them up after a hard day’s work to give them a hug? Have you ever noticed how this can melt away your stress and improve your attitude? Personally, my own daughters – Abbigail and Maelynne – help alleviate my stress level as they greet me at the door when I return from work each day. Unfortunately, picking up your children can be a challenge if you’ve ever suffered a lower back or shoulder injury. These injuries affect the way you are able to perform your daily lifestyle tasks at work, home and play. Your sleep can be affected as can your ability to sit and drive or work at your desk by a back or shoulder injury. I’d like to educate you on the importance of “switching” your daily work and posture habits so you use a staggered stance. Staggered stance, an athletic ready posture, means having one foot in front of the other instead of having your feet shoulder width or narrower apart and with your feet directly across from each other. With a staggered stance, your body is in an athletic ready posture (think your favorite sport), allowing you to reach and move in any direction quickly and safely. Your balance and stability will improve with the staggered stance and protect your lower back

and shoulders from injury. In addition, it will help you find further enjoyment in your daily activities and allow you to safely pick up your children for a big hug at the end of your workday. A WorkSmart staggered stance can benefit your lower back and shoulders from injury in three ways: • When you stand in a staggered stance, your balance significantly improves. When your balance improves, you have reduced biomechanical “wear and tear” and forces to your lower back and shoulders. Have you every lifted a box that was stored in your garage or closet and something in the box shifted and pulled you off balance? This posture will help prevent a loss of balance from occurring. • The staggered stance posture forces your legs, hips and calves to increase their workload thus sharing the load between more muscle groups. This helps to reduce the load and awkward forces to your lower back and shoulders. The more muscles, body parts and joints you have helping in any task, the less stressful and forceful the task is. More help equals less work for all body parts involved.
I’d like to educate you on the importance of “switching” your daily work and posture habits so you use a staggered stance. Staggered stance, an athletic ready posture, means having one foot in front of the other instead of having your feet shoulder width or narrower apart and with your feet directly across from each other.
The staggered stance posture will allow you to lift groceries out of the trunk of your car or get your infant and young children into and out of their car seats with much less stress and force to your lower back and shoulders. • The staggered stance posture significantly reduces any rotational forces to your lower back and shoulders, by making most of the rotational forces transfer through your hips and not your lower back. It can also benefit you greatly when competing in any sport activity such as running a 100 meter dash, throwing a ball from the outfield to second base, having more power to swing a bat in softball or
baseball...the list goes on. The staggered stance allows multiple parts of your body to share a load, meaning you have less force, stress or risks for sprain and strain injuries. I challenge you, your spouse, co-workers and friends to use a staggered stance when picking up your children, putting groceries into the trunk of your car, lifting at work and picking up toys. Your body will thank you! Erik Nieuwenhuis is St. Luke’s Health System WorkSmart Ergonomics Injury Prevention Specialist and Wellness Consultant. Contact him at 712-2791842 or Nieuween@stlukes. org

Dan Maher stands in a room that will be enlarged and converted into an extended stay apartment at the Sioux City Hotel and Convention Center in downtown Sioux City.
Landmark downtown hotel gets a facelift By John Quinlan
Business Journal staff writer
SIOUX CITY - Extensive renovations being made to a landmark downtown hotel mark a concerted effort to bring the venerable place back to life again and return it to its former glory. So says Dan Maher, sales director for the Sioux City Hotel & Conference Center, the 12-story downtown building that was originally part of the Hilton chain when it opened in the 1970s. After falling on hard times, it was sold at auction in 2004 to owners who converted it into an independent hotel named the Plaza. The following year it became a Clarion, a top-of-the-line brand for Choice Hotels. Then last year, the local ownership group, Choa Hope LLC, decided to make it an independent property to gain more flexibility, and
the new name was affixed, Maher said. “We really want the people to know that the owners now are here for the duration,” he said. “We’re here to bring this hotel back to life again. Just from what they have done so far, it is not just a Band-aid to flip it. We want to be a stable part of downtown Sioux City and we want this hotel to be back where it was in the ‘70s when it was the hotel of Sioux City.” After cutting ties with Clarion, the South Koreabased ownership group – CHOA stands for Christian Hotel Owners Association – discussed different names, then decided on Sioux City Hotel & Conference Center as a positive move for the city. The Clarion signs were replaced and renovation began in the hotel’s lobby. A new reservation system was
created due to the loss of the Clarion brand, and a new website launched which allowed the renamed hotel to start showing up on such online travel sites as Expedia and Travelocity.
aPaRTMEnT ConVERSionS
The biggest changes are the conversion of floors 8, 9 and 10 into apartments for extended stays, “Sioux City right now does not have an extended stay facility. For somebody who’s coming into town for a month or two months or a year, they pretty much have to stay in a hotel room,” Maher said. “So we felt there was really need for an extended stay, which is basically kind of an apartment type of hotel room with a small kitchenette, living room and a bedroom that people can live there for more than a night or two or three nights.”

Marketing helps

The remodeled front desk and lobby is shown at the Sioux City Hotel and Convention Center in downtown Sioux City.
The renovation work began on the 10th floor, where the 22 rooms are being “gutted out” into 11 extended-stay apartments with 800 to 900 square feet of space each, at a cost of between $15,000 to 20,000 per unit that includes new carpet and furnishings. When the 10th floor remodeling is completed, the same work is expected to be done next to the ninth floor, converting 22 more rooms into 11 apartments. Eighthfloor conversion would follow this. They will mostly be 1-bedroom apartments, but a few will have doors that open to a second bedroom if one is needed for extendedstay families.
the 21st century. “It’s just the image,” Maher said. “If people come in and the elevator looks nice, then they get up into their rooms, they’re expecting the rooms to also be nice. if they come in and their elevator’s not nice, then they don’t know what they’re going to get when they get upstairs. That was a major thing that we did. We had a lot of people who didn’t like our elevators very well.” The old lobby lighting, appropriate for a bowling alley, he said, was replaced by a new chandelier offeringsofter lighting Another addition to the lobby was a small convenience store adjacent to the
Aggressive marketing has also helped to turn the fortunes around for the Sioux City Hotel & Conference Center. Sales director Dan Maher said he has worked with Sioux City’s Musketeers, Explorers and Bandits to provide lodging for visiting teams. The hotel recently inked an agreement with the University of South Dakota to serve as the host hotel for the big-name football teams coming to Vermillion, S.D. to play now that USD has become a Division 1 school. Schools like Colgate University and the University of Northern Iowa bring in 80 to 100 players along with coaches, staff members cheerleadaers, a number too large for Vermillion motels to accommodate, he said. “They bring the followers here with them. They spend their money in town. But if we hadn’t been proactive, it would all be going to Sioux Falls,” he said. The Republican Presidential Debate in Sioux City before the Iowa Caucuses proved to be a watershed moment for the hotel. The Sioux City Hotel & Conference Center converted its second floor ballroom into a media center to service the 200-plus media members overing the event which was next door at the Sioux City Convention Center.
front desk which provides candy, sandwiches, water and soda and other common guest items, some of which were provided by vending machines on the various floors that have since been removed. And no guests have complained about the lost vending machines. They much prefer the always-open first-floor store with its microwave oven, he said. “Just the makeover of the lobby has made an incredible difference, especially those who have see it before.
This is what a downtown hotel is supposed to look like,” he said. Cosmetic changes are also being made to the 12th floor, which once housed the Christopher’s restaurant. The space there is used for wedding receptions and meetings, serving as a smaller auxiliary to the second-floor ballroom. “It’s a great space and it’s used a lot. There’s nobody that has any better views than we’ve got. That hasn’t changed in 40 years,” Maher said.
Visitors to the hotel will no longer feel that they are stepping into a 1970s-era museum due to extensive renovations last year to the hotel lobby. The front desk was redone and the Sioux City Hotel name put on prominent display behind it. More seating was added, and a wall separating the lobby from the adjacent bar was removed, except for a large X-shaped support beam which had to remain; and the bar itself was completely renovated, Maher said. The elevator interiors were also completely refinished, bringing them into

Consultants present findings of three-day visit to Sioux City By Lynn ZerschLing

SIOUX CITY – One hour free parking at meters. Additional two-way streets. More parks. Those are some of the suggestions for downtown Sioux City raised by six members of the Washington, D.C.-based International Economic Development Council. The panel, comprised of municipal and development officials from across the country, spent three days meeting with community members, looking at business growth and examining city services to develop several broad suggestions for the area. The report is meant to help guide city officials, community leaders and downtown stakeholders in reviving the area. Preliminary findings were presented March 28 during an event at the Sioux City Convention Center. A final report is expected this summer. The consultants said a key

SLOAN, Iowa – With the recent opening of a new resort-style hotel, WinnaVegas Casino says it now offers the “full package.” The 78-room hotel features non-gaming amenities such as a gift shop, salon, indoor pool and hot tub, exercise room and arcade, keeping guests busy long after their gaming or concert wraps up. Previously, the closest hotel was the WinnaVegas Inn, just off Interstate
29 at the Sloan exit, three miles from the Native American casino. Convenient enough, but not quite the “wow factor” the casino needed to become a real destination in the world of casino resorts. “In order to be seen as a real competitor in this market, you have to be able to offer great amenities, along with comfortable settings conducive to productive meetings,” said Catherine Colsrud, general manager at WinnaVegas Casino Resort. “Many companies plan meetings at these facilities and the attendees need to have some fun between day one and two of their productive sessions.” An adjacent conference center, seating up to

300 people for business meetings, conferences, wedding receptions and other events, is scheduled to be completed in May. WinnaVegas, owned and operated by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, showed off its new hotel to the public at a “Big Launch Party” on April 12. The festivities included food and drink and appearances by Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe tribute artists. “The Winnebago Tribe believes in the local communities and the strength of the local people,” Colsrud said. “Therefore, this is not only an investment in WinnaVegas, but also an investment interest for the entire local area.”
WinnaVegas Casino Resort’s “Big Launch Party” on April 12 featured appearances by Marilyn Monroe and Elvis Presley tribute artists. The party celebrated the opening of the casino’s new hotel.
The celebration was a long time in coming. Construction for the project began in December 2010. WinnaVegas slogged through record overflowing of the MIssouri River last summer. Tribal officials even turned to duck boats to get workers and customers to and from the front door as the waters from a 500-year flood began to subside in July. The hotel resort will create about 50 new jobs, raising WinnaVegas employment to nearly 400. The new jobs include sales coordinators, housekeepers
and hair stylists. The casino, opened in 1992 on tribal land just west of Sloan, Iowa, attracts about 500,000 visitors per year. With the added amenities, casino officials hope to add to those numbers. “While people already enjoy the fast pace of the casino and the big live entertainment, we want to be sure the hotel is completely prepared to give each guest a relaxing experience. That’s why we give them lots of extras that you just don’t get in a casino or hotel alone,” Colsrud said.

Downtown: Panel offers advice
FROM PAGE 12 boosting marketing for events at the Tyson Events Center and developing more market-rate condominiums and apartments. The panel said the community should embrace its existing mix of businesses in the central business district and build more interest. Jane Jenkins, CEO of Downtown Oklahoma City, said downtown has found a niche in home furnishing, antique and furniture stores, which number about 20. “The reason this is so valuable right now is that people are thinking about lifestyle choices,” she said. Eduardo Santana, a senior associate with Robert Charles Lesser and Co., of Los Angeles, said the city should build on the momentum and resist the urge to hold back for a better economic climate to take hold. He pointed particularly to
an effort to build a landbased Argosy Casino and a plan to construct the $110 million Hyperion Energy Center refinery in Union County, S.D. “You should build on what you have,” he said. “Don’t wait for some external savior – like a Hyperion or the casino.” Regarding a proposal to move the Argosy Casino from the Missouri Riverfront to land, the panel stressed it is important to place an expanded casino downtown. They declined to select a location. Chris Bogenrief, president of Downtown Partners, which represents downtown business owners and promotes the downtown, said he’s happy that the casino was mentioned. He said the city should work with the casino developer to make sure it gets built. He said the casino could jumpstart growth.
“The biggest thing is that people have to understand is the kind o f re t u r n you can get from pub- Chris lic invest- Bogenrief ment, which leads to private investment. I think we can use the casino to do that,” he said. “It has to be in the core of downtown, not out on the edges.” The preliminary presentation did not include information about how to fund the projects. The city and Downtown Partners each paid $15,000 for the study and MidAmerican Energy Co. paid $10,000. A federal grant provided $40,000. Similar reports have been compiled for officials in St. Louis, Dallas, Louisville, Ky., and other cities.

Orange City event center nears debut $5 million facility envisioned as major destination BY DAVE DREESZEN
Business Journal editor
ORANGE CITY, Iowa – More than 100,000 visitors from around the globe flock to Orange City for the annual Tulip Festival, a threeday celebration in late May that showcases the town’s rich Dutch heritage. With the scheduled opening of a $5 million event center this spring, local leaders hope to build on their past tourism success, turning the Northwest Iowa city of 6,006 into more of a year round destination. The 17,000-square-foot Prairie Winds Event Center, designed in a combination
of old-world European and historical Northern Plains architecture, is under construction on the west side of the city, at the corner of Iowa Highway 10 East and Lincoln Circle. Scheduled to open on May 31, the towering structure and grounds are expected to attract a wide range of public and private events – from large conventions to business meetings to wedding receptions. The 1 1/2-level building will seat nearly 400 guests for a dinner. An outdoor area adjacent to the pond and walking trail will accommodate another 200 guests. “It provides a facility that
has the size to handle a lot more events than what we can in the community right now,” city manager Duane Feekes said. The event center name was chosen in a recent citywide contest. The winning entrant, who asked to remain anonymous, wrote that the style and interior architecture reflects Orange City’s location on the prairie and the plains. “The Dutch harnessed the power of nature in their windmills, and we live in a place where wind is a regular part of the landscape. Wind moves the prairie grasses like waves in the Journal photo by Dave Dreeszen sea,” the entrant wrote. Prairie Winds Event Center, above, is under construction in Orange City, Iowa, and scheduled to open on May 31.
