Blue Bunny parlor debuts in new home Historic building offers more seating, ice cream selections BY DAVE DREESZEN Business Journal editor

LE MARS, Iowa – An employee at the new Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor pressed a scoop of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream into a chocolate-dipped waffle cone. She then handed the delicacy to Eric Isebrand, who was waiting patiently behind the glass counter. “This is one of the new flavors,” the 10-year-old boy said as he licked the cold treat. “I really like it,” he added, after using a napkin to wipe melted chocolate off his face. Eric, his mother, Nancy Isebrand, his older sister, Amy, and two of Amy’s friends, Crystal Epppling and Katrina Engebretson, were among the first customers at the old-fashioned ice cream parlor and museum, which made its debut in downtown Le Mars on June 17. The new parlor and museum is located in a historic building that Wells Enterprises, the Le Marsbased makers of Blue Bunny ice cream and frozen novelties, extensively renovated. It replaces a smaller parlor Wells had operated since 1999 at the intersection of Highways 3 and 75. For the grand opening, Wells hosted a free concert by Tonic Sol Fa in front of the parlor at 115 Central Ave., N.W, and sold some 1,000 ice cream cones at the reduced rate of 50 cents each. The celebration was held in conjunction with the annual Ice Cream Days festival in Le Mars, the self-proclaimed Ice Cream Capital of the World. The new parlor, which boasts nearly 12,000 square feet of space, features an open grand staircase, which allows guests on the second floor to look down at the lower level. “It really produces that open feel,” Dave Smetter, Wells’ senior director of corporate marketing and communications, said. Next to the staircase entrance on the first-floor is a gift shop, where guests also can buy various Blue Bunny-themed merchandise.

‘The river didn’t win:’ YMCA returns home Six-week relocation comes to close beginning Monday

A LiteForm barrier protects the Norm Waitt, Sr., YMCA in South Sioux City from the Missouri River, after water had been drained from the parking lot. After being displaced by flooding for six weeks, the Y on July 18 starting moving back its own building.

BY MICHELE LINCK Business Journal staff writer

After nearly six weeks of making do in the Long Lines Family Rec Center across the river, the Norm Waitt Sr. YMCA has headed back to its home on the Missouri Riverfront in South Sioux City. “We’ve gotten the all-clear from those responsible for making sure it’s safe,” Faithanne Molineaux, the YMCA’s marketing director. “The gas, water and electricity is up and running as it was the day we left.” The Y is moving back to its riverfront home in phases. It began July 18 with the opening of the swimming pools for lap swimming, water aerobics classes and open family swims. CEO Kevin Engel-Cartie said land-based classes at the facility will begin July 25. The Y’s presence at Long Lines Family Rec Center will end completely July 29-30. The entire YMCA facility in South Sioux City will be back in operation by Aug. 1. Molineaux said the Y’s staff has been monitoring the river levels carefully over the past six weeks and the levee protecting the facility is also monitored. In addition, the Y has gotten the groundwater out of the parking lot by walling off the drain where the water has been coming up into it.

“It’s a pretty ingenious thought process,” she said. In addition, about a month ago they built a secondary, LiteForm wall near the adjacent public boat ramp to keep back water from that direction. Molineaux said the only thing compelling YMCA leaders to make the move now is homesickness, not any need by the Long Lines Family Rec Center for the space the Y

is using there. “They have been more than wonderful hosts,” she said. “But it’s always been in the back of our mind that we want to return home as soon as possible.” Molineaux recalled how hectic the June 4 move from the YMCA to the rec center was. “It was a struggle to get everything done and a lot of us were in a panic,” she said. “We’re glad to show a return to normalcy and that the river didn’t win.”

Vitamin D and your health V

itamin D has been the vitamin ‘du jour’ as of late garnering much attention. Why all the fuss? For starters, vitamin D is needed for health and to maintain strong bones. It does so by helping the body absorb calcium from both food and supplements. People who don’t get enough vitamin D may develop soft, thin, and brittle bones, a condition know as rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults. Additionally, vitamin D has many other important functions. Muscles need it to move, nerves need it to carry messages between the brain and every body part and the immune system needs it to fight off invading bacteria and viruses. Vitamin D is found in cells throughout the body. How much vitamin D you need depends on your age. Recommended amounts are determined by the Food and Nutrition Board, a national group of experts and measured in International Units (IU): Birth to 12 months 400 IU Children 1-13 years 600 IU Teens 14-18 years 600 IU Adults 19-70 years 600 IU Adults 71 years and older 800 IU Pregnant and breastfeeding women and teens 600 IU Where or how do we get vitamin D?

naturally by the body after exposure to sunlight. Fifteen minutes in the sun a few times a week without sunscreen is plenty for many people to manufacture and store all of the vitamin D they need. Very few foods have a significant amount of naturally occurring vitamin D. Fortified foods such as milk, breakfast cereals, orange juice, yogurt, margarine and soy beverages provide most of the vitamin D in American diets. In fact, almost all of the U.S. milk supply is fortified with 400 IU of vitamin D per quart. Fatty fish such as salmon, tuna, and mackerel are among the best sources. As mentioned earlier, the body makes vitamin D when skin is directly exposed to the sun. Skin exposed to sunshine indoors through a window will not produce vitamin D. Cloudy days, shade and having dark-colored skin also cut down on the amount of vitamin D the skin makes. People who limit their exposure to the sun and/or who cover their bodies with sunscreen or clothing should include good sources of vitamin D in their diets or take a supplement. Vitamin D is found

Sioux City No. 2 on ‘Most livable Bargain’ list BY DAVE DREESZEN Business Journal editor

Living in Metro Sioux City is one of the best deals in America, according to a new online ranking. The metro area ranks No. 2 on MSN’s 2011 list of the Real Estate Most Livable Bargain Markets. The tri-state region trailed only Rochester, N.Y., in the rankings, which measured 10 livable areas, including unemployment, commute times and cultural and recreational diversions. “Most people rave about Sioux City’s polite and friendly residents and tolerate its weather,” MSN said on its Web site. “Overall, they say, it’s a good place to raise a family.” “Unemployment is a relatively low 6.4 percent, and there’s not much traffic to speak of. Crime is rare, and home prices are on the rebound, but still affordable.” The data used in rankings by MSN, a Microsoft Web portal, is somewhat dated. The metro area unemployment rate last month fell to an 18-month low of 5.3 percent. MSN also ignored some of Sioux City’s best known cultural and entertainment attractions, including the Art Center, Tyson Events Center, Orpheum Theater and newly opened Public Museum downtown. “If you’re not an outdoorsy person, however, you might get a little bored in Sioux City. While golf, hiking and biking are abundant in its gently rolling hills, museums, live

theater and galleries are scarce.” Among the cons of living in Sioux City, according to the site: “Wind, tornadoes, flooding and harsh snowy winters, a lack of culture and colleges, fewer direct flights into its airport and a somewhat unhealthy population.” The MSN rating is the latest national recognition for the metro area. Earlier this month, Forbes named Sioux City the nation’s 15th “Best Small Places for Businesses and Careers.” The publication’s annual rankings measure a region’s cost of doing business, projected job growth and education. Manhattan, Kan., home to Kansas State University, topped the 2011 list list of metro areas with populations under 250,000. Sioux Falls, South Dakota’s largest city, was No. 2. Forbes said Sioux City ranked No. 9 nationally in the cost of doing business, and 12th in economic growth projections. The local economy has slowly rebounded since losing one of its largest largest local employers, the 1,400-worker John Morrell plant, in April 2010. In 2010, the metro unemployment rate averaged 5.8 percent, Forbes noted. Metro Sioux City has a cost of living 14 percent below the unemployment average. The median home price is $87,600. The region, however, ranks just 106th in education, with 20.2 percent its the adult population attended college.

Farmers Market: Third day added to operations FROM PAGE 13 Wednesdays and Saturdays. Laura Kuennen of ISU Extension in Woodbury County, is staffing the Monday market. Dee Polak continues as the manager for the market, which is run by the local non-profit group Buy Local, Buy Fresh, Siouxland Inc. This year, the market moved to the other end of the parking lot from where they previously set up to allow for more space and better safety of pedestrians. Along with adding new vendors to the festivities, many of the existing ones expanded in booth size. During the morning hours, hot breakfasts also are served on site, and live music is featured on Saturday mornings. Although the market doesn’t tell the vendors where to set their prices at Polak said the prices are actually quite reasonable. “In terms of quality and product, it’s really not that much more expensive at all compared to grocery store prices,” she said. Polak enjoys the market atmosphere because she likes knowing where her food is coming from. “I’m not a farm girl, I’m a city girl,” she said. “There’s something about knowing how your food is grown. You can talk to the vendor and find out exactly what you’re getting.” Although only a few vendors are certified organic farmers (an

Snakebite away carpal tunnel, tendonitis pain

H

ow many of you remember giving your friend a “snakebite” as a child?

This childhood game happens to be an awesome and very powerful musculoskeletal myofacialself-care technique to reverse, treat and prevent one of the primary causes of carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis pain. Carpal tunnel syndrome, lower back musculoskeletal injuries such as sprains and strains and various tendon disorders (DeQuervains’s Tenosynovitis or Blackberry thumb, wrist tendonitis and tennis elbow) are the most rapidly growing category of OSHA recordable cumulative trauma injuries and illnesses. This isn’t surprising considering our highly computerized and technology driven American culture, where texting is a way of life and Smartphones are always on and active. When your forearm muscles get stiff and tight overtime from repetitive and sustained use, the fascia which surrounds all muscles and connective tissues slowly compresses the blood vessels and nerves, increasing their irritability which may lead to increased muscle fatigue, numbness or tingling into your fingers, shooting or stabbing pains, dull achy throbbing pains when you pick things up or loss of grip strength. I have seen amazing and frankly quite shocking outcomes and results with the snakebite technique in my more than 13 years of treating patients with MSD injuries from across the Siouxland area. Within the very first snakebite technique, a worker’s grip strength improves, numbness or tingling symptoms into the fingers decrease and pain is greatly reduced. A patient’s

Within the very first snakebite technique, a worker’s grip strength improves, numbness or tingling symptoms into the fingers decrease and pain is greatly reduced.

symptoms are 85 percent to 100 percent resolved most often within one to two weeks after utilizing the snakebite technique. 1. Have the person suffering with the symptoms of pain or dysfunction detailed in this article hold their forearm with palm up. Start by gripping both of your hands (right next to each other) around their wrist at the end of their forearm. 2. With both hands, squeeze to compress the persons forearm and slowly twist your hands away from each other going in opposite directions for 4 to 8 seconds. Repeat for 1 to 2 repetitions at the same location. 3. While you are doing this squeezing, compressing and twisting of their forearm (i.e. the snakebite technique) have them slowly open and close their hand. This

creates a muscle pumping action and helps the forearm muscles to relax, improving blood flow and reducing pressure and stress off of the nerves in the forearm. 4. Then move both hands up the forearm and repeat again for 1 to 2 repetitions of the 4 to 8 seconds snakebite. Keep repeating until you get to the elbow. 5. If you notice a more restricted or tight area of the forearm, you may want to complete 1 to 2 extra repetitions before moving up the forearm. Typically you complete 6 to 10 repetitions before you are completed. 6. Perform this snakebite technique 2 to 3 times per week or as needed. 7. Make sure to contact myself, your physical therapist or primary care physician if you have any questions regarding this self-care technique or if this technique doesn’t get rid of your carpal tunnel syndrome or tendonitis symptoms of pain. Get bitten by “the snake” today. You and your body will be glad you did!

Dunes merchants look to rebound Traffic slows at some businesses due to ongoing Missouri River threat BY DAVE DREESZEN Business Journal editor

Fulfilling a longtime dream, Kris Pulscher opened her own bakery in Dakota Dunes in early May. The initial response to the small business, Cheesecake Creations and Sweet Senations, exceeded even Pulscher’s own lofty expectations. “It was unbelievable,” Pulscher said. “It took off faster than what I expected. The Dakota Dunes people were so welcoming, referring other people to us.” Then, the flooding hit. On June 1, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers began increasing releases of water from upstream Missouri River reservoirs to more than twice the previous record levels. The unprecedented flows sent the Missouri well out of its banks, up and down the river. In Dakota Dunes, more than 400 homes and 1,200 residents evacuated the southeast South Dakota community. With so many of her regular customers forced to live elsewhere, about 70 percent of Pulscher’s businesses quickly dried up. Like Cheesecake Creations, some other Dakota Dunes merchants that rely on steady vehicular traffic were hurt by the flooding threat, which recently entered its second month. “Our sales are down a little bit, but not drastically,” said Glenn McDonald, manager of Graham’s Grill & Pub at 201 Tower Road. “Anytime you lose that number of people in the area, you’re going to see a decrease.” Graham’s and some other Dunes businesses in close proximity to Interstate 29 have seen sales rebound since the South Dakota Department of Transportation reopened Exit 2 to the general public on June 14. “A lot of people have come back,” said Tara Tullis, manager of Bush

Dry Cleaners, which has a drop off and pick up location at Village Square, the multi-tenant retail center that houses Cheesecake Creations also. Beginning on May 31, only trucks and other contractor vehicles were allowed access to Exit 2, helping to avoid traffic congestion and speed up the construction of six miles of temporary earthen levees that are now holding back the rushing Missouri River. After the interstate exit closed, many Dunes businesses, though high and dry, fielded dozens of calls from people wondering if they were still open.

Many callers had no idea how to get to the Dunes with Exit 1 closed. They were directed to take the I-29 exit at North Sioux City, and then travel back south on Sioux Point Road to reach the Dunes. With Exit 2 back open, it’s easier accessing the Dunes business, but the traffic is still not back to normal. It probably won’t be for another month or longer. That’s because the corp is scheduled to keep releases from the upstream dams at elevated heights until at least late August. After the river recedes, it’s uncertain how quickly Dunes residents will be allow to get back into The Village Square at Dakota Dunes. their homes.

“We just want to let people know it’s not a war zone and we are still open.” MYRANDA KAZOS Schelm, general manager at the Country Inn & Suites, looks through room files. The ongoing Missouri River flooding has helped fill additional rooms at the Dakota Dunes hotel, which is currently hosting some South Dakota Air National Guardsmen who are assisting with flood control efforts.

Vivian Pulscher holds a turtle cheesecake at Cheesecake Creations and Sweet Sensations, a Dakota Dunes shop owned and operated by her daughter, Chris Pulscher. Ongoing Missouri River flooding threatening the Dunes has slowed sales at Cheesecake Creations and other local Dunes businesses that rely on steady vehicular traffic.

Myranda Kazos, a student at the University of South Dakota, and her parents are among the residents waiting to return to the Dunes. Concerned about her community, Kazos launched a local disaster relief effort aimed at helping out not only individuals and families, but also local businesses affected by the flooding threat. With her own money, Kazos bought gift cards at a local business, then raffled them off to raise money. Local businesses also have made donations, allowing her group to give away thousands of dollars in gift cards. Throughout the month of July, Kazos’ group has promoted the theme, “Keep Business in the Dunes.” “We just want to let people know it’s not a war zone and we are still open,” she said.

Boiled bagels are a featured item at Cheesecake Creations & Sweet Sensations, a new Dakota Dunes business that has lost traffic because of the Missouri River flooding.

Her group currently is offering free dinner at Graham’s on Tuesday nights to anyone who makes a donation of school supplies or money. Kazos, who works part-time at Graham’s, said she is trying to help out students at the Dakota Valley

school district, which may lose some enrollment this fall because district families were forced to live elsewhere during the flooding. Pulscher said she appreciates efforts of Kazos and other local residents who are supporting local businesses like hers. After experimenting with recipes for cheesecake at home, Pulscher started her business without the help of government aid or a Small Business Administration loan. Cheesecake Creations offers a variety of cheesecakes, as well as other baked goods, including begels, muffins, cookies, cakes and bread. The shop’s signature boiled bagels are patterned after the East Coast bagels Pulscher often ate during her frequent business travels for her former employer, computer maker Gateway. After her business slowed, Pulscher cut back her hours. Her mother, Vivian, who helps out with the business, said the shop stll has many loyal customers, a number of whom come in for morning coffee and baked goods. Cheesecake

After taking in a breath slowly Kory Zimney, PT, DPT exhale. You probably don’t realize it, but your heart has just slowed down a bit. Don’t worry; it will speed up again when you inhale. This regular-irregular beat is a sign of a healthy interaction between heart and brain. Each time you exhale, your brain sends a signal down the vagus nerve to slow the cardiac muscle. With each inhale, the signal gets weaker and your heart revs up. Inhale, beat faster. Exhale, beat slower. As your stress and anxiety levels increase you typically will take shorter and faster breaths. This is a useful mechanism to protect you in dangerous situations that may last a few minutes; the problem arises when you have chronic long-term stress that lasts days, months or even years for some people. Normally you should be breathing an inhale/exhale cycle about 8-10 times per minute in a quiet, relaxed state. Many people are in an increased stress response state and will breathe more cycles per minute. Also when stressed these short breaths are often mostly performed by the chest and neck muscles and not as much with

the diaphragm. When you work on taking bigger, slower breaths you get the diaphragm to work more, as it should. Increase stress can lead to increases in depression, anxiety and increase your susceptibility to disease (you are more likely to catch a cold when over stressed). It will also increase the sensitivity of the nervous system, so your pain will often times be greater when you are stressed. Your brain uses two different nervous systems to control your body. You have complete control over one of them, which tells you to move your arms, legs, mouth, etc. to do things. The other is automatic (that’s why it’s called the autonomic nervous system) it speeds up your heart rate, alters your digestion and other things that happen without your full conscious control. This autonomic system has a part to it that increases activity to tolerate stressful activity and another that slows things down to allow you to keep some balance and not have your heart race out of control along with other functions. The interesting part is that through conscious control of working to slow down and use diaphragm breathing, you can actually affect the autonomic system and promote increase relaxation. So yes by working slow diaphragm breathing you can decrease your stress!

The colorful Rainbow Snow stand is at home at the interesection of Morningside Avenue and Macomb Avenue. The stand has been a Peters Parkarea tradition for more than 20 years. Journal photos by Tim Gallagher

At the end of this ‘Rainbow,’ you’ll find ‘Snow’ BY TIM GALLAGHER Business Journal staff writer

At the end of Sioux City’s bestknown rainbow, you won’t find a pot of gold. What you do discover is sweeter. Colder. And maybe altogether better. It’s Rainbow Snow, a summer treat perking up Peters Park in Morningside the past two-plus decades. “I haven’t had a Rainbow Snow for 10 years,” said Joy Brouillette, a Sioux City native now living in

St. Paul, Minn. “I came back to see relatives and I had to have a Rainbow Snow.” Brouillette got a creation featuring cherry, peach and the “suicide” flavor that pours all into one. It was a feast for the eyes and taste buds, not to mention the body temperature on a day where the heat index rose well into triple digits. “Rainbow Snow isn’t super syrupy,” she said. “They’re soooo good. Spot-on delicious.” Rainbow Snow owner Sally O’Hern Sypersma is an insurance

agent by day. Six years ago, she bought Rainbow Snow. The reception she gets from customers is anything but “cool.” “I sell insurance and I always said that sometime in my lifetime I wanted to sell something that’s tangible and makes people smile,” she said. “I found it.” You find Rainbow Snow in its bright blue trailer at the corner of Morningside Avenue and Macomb Avenue, adjacent to the Story Time Preschool parking lot. On a day like today, look for the line of

customers. They range in age from 2 to 92. The owner said she vowed to keep the business in Morningside when she took over six years ago. “The business has moved around a bit, but it’s always been in the Peters park area,” O’Hern Sypersma said. “I’m was born and raised at Morningside and it needs to stay here.” While it’s open seven days per week, it’s not ALWAYS open. The place is open 1-10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 1-9 p.m.

Sundays. “We close on Sunday nights and three weeks ago we had just closed when a family drove up,” O’Hern Sypersma said. “The kids got out of the car and I said we were closed. The little boy, he had to be a toddler, started to cry.” The owner cranked up the ice machine to keep the tears from flowing. “We had some tears and I knew we couldn’t have any tears,” she said. The ice creations come in three sizes and 40-some flavors, ranging

www.siouxlandbusinessjournal.com

Siouxland Business Journal, July 2011

from basic strawberry to caramel apple to a Tye dye mix. A Pucker Powder can your Rainbow Snow if you wish. “It’s a sweet-and-sour powder that’s been a hit,� O’Hern Sypersma said. If there is one drawback to Rainbow Snow, it comes from a worker. Their hands can be freezing by the end of a shift, even on a 98-degree day.

That’s because workers must pack each treat beneath the ice maker. “The gloves aren’t only for sanitary reasons,� O’Hern Sypersma said. “Your hands get very cold. Our workers would wear mittens if I’d let them.�

Sioux City native Joy Brouillette, left, now of St.Paul, Minn., was ready to dig in to her first Rainbow Snow ice treat in 10 years. Brouillette was back to visit family and had to get a cold treat at the Morningside flavored ice stand. Syrups, right, are at the ready to create 40-some different Rainbow Snow flavors.

City presents award to Siouxland Women’s Health The Sioux City Economic Development Department recently presented its Growing Sioux City Business award to Siouxland Women’s Health Care P.C. The clinic at 1000 Jackson St. completed a nearly $1 million expansion and renovation of its existing facilities, including expanded exam rooms and office space. The clinic has increased staff to 30 employees, including six physicians, and plans to hire an additional physician and support staff in the near future. The project received aid from the city through the Targeted Jobs Program. “Siouxland Women’s Health is a major asset to the Sioux City medical community. Their contributions continue to enhance

the city’s outstanding quality of life,” Marty Dougherty, the city’s economic development director said. Dr. William Vereen and Julie Barto, practice administrator, were presented with a plaque incorporating the Sioux City skyline, a Sioux City wind shirt and a certificate to receive a complimentary tree to be placed on the company property, recognizing their commitment to growing the city. To date, the Targeted Jobs Program has created and retained more than 1,100 jobs and leveraged nearly $54 million in new investment in Sioux City. Twenty-three companies have utilized the program to assist with their expansions.
