DOT selects incumbent carrier American Airlines over United DAVE DREESZEN
Business Journal editor
SIOUX CITY | American Airlines will keep flying subsidized routes between Sioux City and Chicago for at least two more years. The U.S. Department of Transportation recently awarded American a twoyear extension of its Essential Air Service contract at Sioux Gateway Airport. American, currently the airport’s lone carrier, beat out the only other bidder, United Airlines. Both airlines proposed to offer at least 13 flights per week to Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. The EAS is a federal program that ensures air service to small, rural airports. In an order posted on its website, the DOT cited American’s performance during its first two years in Sioux City and community support for the carrier. The determining factor, the federal agency said, was American’s bid, which came in nearly $1.6 million less than United’s over the life of the contract. “At Sioux City, we are confident that either carrier would provide excellent service, “ the DOT said in the order, signed by Susan Kurland, assistant secretary for aviation and international affairs. “The civic officials did not endorse one carrier over the other. As the airport trustees indicated, the difference in requested subsidy is decisional here, and we will, therefore, reselect American.” Local officials repeatedly praised American’s performance, but also were pleased that United showed interest in returning to the Sioux City market after

nearly a two-decade absence. American, whose current EAS contract runs through April 30, agreed to ut its annual federal payout nearly in half, from $1.51 million to $611,334. United proposed a subsidy of is $1.41 million per year. American Eagle, a regional carrier for the Fort Worth, Texas-based carrier, started serving Sioux Gateway on April 3, 2012, replacing longtime carrier Delta Air Lines. Delta, which flew daily connecting routes to MinneapolisSt. Paul International Airport, also applied for the EAS contract. During its first two years at Sioux Gateway, American’s 50-seat regional jets have been about 80 percent full on average. Local officials said the high load factors are matching results of earlier studies that showed Chicago as the top destination for
Siouxland leisure and business travelers. In the middle of the EAS selection process, Frontier Airlines announced it would restart service to Sioux Gateway without federal subsidies. Frontier is scheduled to offering three flights per week to Denver, beginning June 12. The DOT said Frontier’s entrance would have no effect on the EAS program in Sioux City.
Passengers exit an American Airlines flight at Sioux Gateway Airport in March. The U.S. Department of Transportation has awarded American a new two-year contract to fly connecting routes between Sioux City and Chicago. American beat out United Airlines for the Essential Air Service subsidies.

Strive to make better food choices Whether at work or at home it can be a struggle to make better food choices. There are so many choices out there, but it can be difficult to determine which one is the better choice. Eat breakfast: There is no better way to start your day than with a healthy breakfast. Be sure and include lean protein, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Try some steel cut oats with low-fat milk, sliced almonds and berries, or top a toaster waffle with greek yogurt and fruit. Fruits and vegetables: Make two cups of fruit and two and a half cups of vegetables your goal each day. Those who each more vegetables and fruits as part of an overall healthy diet are likely to have a reduced risk of some chronic diseases. Pack your lunch: Fix your lunch the night before so it is ready to go in the morning. Try a whole wheat tortilla filled with chicken, mushrooms,

onions, and tomatoes. Pack some carrots and celery to munch on at break. Keep lunches safe with tips from http://homefoodsafety.org. Dining out: Yes, it is possible to dine at a restaurant and make healthy choices. The key is to plan ahead, ask questions and choose foods carefully. When choosing lean meat, fish or chicken, look for grilled, baked, broiled or steamed items. Add vegetables and fruits. Family Meals: Research shows that family meals promote healthier eating. Plan to eat as a family at least a few
times weekly. Set a regular mealtime. Turn off the TV, phones, and other electronic devices to encourage mealtime talk. Allow kids to be involved in meal planning and cooking and use this time to educate them about good nutrition. Watch portion sizes: Get out the measuring cup and see how close your portions sizes are to the recommended serving size. Using smaller plates can help with portion control. Make half of your plate fruits and vegetables, and the other half for whole grains and lean meat, poultry, beans or seafood. Eat green for eye health: As part of a healthful diet, eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, particularly the leafy green variety. According to the American Optometric Association, the following six nutrients have been identified as helping to protect eyesight and promote eye health: antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin,
essential fatty acids, vitamins C and E, and the mineral zinc. Since the body doesn’t make these nutrients naturally, it’s important that they are incorporated into a daily diet and, in some cases, supplement with vitamins. Give your plate a taste lift: Consumers will choose taste over nutrition to buy one food over another. We are human, we eat the foods we enjoy the most. So make taste a priority when preparing nutritious meals, suggests Joy Dubost, speaking on behalf of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. She offers this cooking advice to enhance flavor. ■ Choose high-quality ingredients at their peak of quality. ■ Intensify the flavors of meat, poultry, and fish with high-heat cooking techniques such as pansearing, grilling, or broiling. ■ Pep it up with peppers. Use red, green and yellow of all
varieties—sweet, hot and dried. Or add a dash of hot pepper sauce. ■ Try grilling or roasting veggies in a very hot (450 degree F) oven or grill for a sweet, smoky flavor. Brush or spray them lightly with oil so they don’t dry out. Sprinkle with herbs. ■ Caramelize sliced onions to bring out their natural sugar flavor by cooking them slowly over low heat in a small amount of oil. Use them to make a rich, dark sauce for meat or poultry. ■ Simmer juices to make reduction sauces. Concentrate the flavors of the meat, poultry and fish stocks. Reduce the juices by heating them—don’t boil. Then use them as a flavorful glaze or gravy. ■ For fuller flavors, incorporate more whole grains such as brown rice or quinoa, or experiment with amaranth and wild rice.

Take time to stand up for your well-being Did you know that the average American spends 55 percent of his/her waking time sitting? According to a Vanderbilt University study, published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, more than half a person’s day is made up of sitting-related activities such as eating meals, watching TV, siting at a desk, driving, etc. This can be a risk to a person’s health. People with “sitting jobs” have twice the rate of cardiovascular disease (high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart attack, and stroke) as those with “standing jobs.” Shockingly, the sitting disease is estimated to affect 88 million people (about 1 in 3) who are sedentary in America. According to James A. Levine, a Mayo Clinic endocrinologist who specializes in the study of energy expenditure, if those people would become even moderately active, the yearly medical

costs could be reduced by as much as $76.6 billion. Lack of daily movement and prolonged sitting leads to low enzyme activity which contributes overtime to weight gain, weak abdominal muscles, very tight hip muscles, high triglycerides (bad cholesterol), metabolic syndrome, diabetes, heart attacks, stroke and even many cancers. Not only that, but sitting for longer than 1 hour also slows down overall brain function and one’s ability to focus, meaning lower productivity. The enzyme Lipoprotein
Lipase eventually shuts off after 60 to 90 minutes of inactivity. A person that adds physical movement into 50 percent of his/her workday creates enzyme activity that can help improve metabolism. Functional daily movements also reduce triglycerides levels (bad cholesterol), raise HDL level (good cholesterol), and help regulate blood sugar levels throughout the day. In turn, improvements will be found in daily energy level, focus, and overall well-being. The American Medical Association (AMA) adopted a new policy on sitting in the workplace on June 18th, 2013, citing mounting evidence that sitting for extended periods of time without moving (greater than 1 hour) can lead to many health problems such as; high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, musculoskeletal pain and stiffness, heart attack, stroke,

and many cancers. The AMA is also encouraging work places to offer employee’s alternatives to sitting all day such as sit to stand workstations, isometric ball chairs, treadmill desks, and simple policy changes to encourage workers to stand and stretch more frequently. To further substantiate the effects of sit to stand workstations, The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) performed a study on the effectiveness of these workstations. The 2011, “Take-a-Stand-Project” was conducted over 7 weeks with 34 subjects. The results were transformational. Employees today can achieve these results by standing for one additional hour daily (or in 4 increments of 15 minutes). Results are as follows: ■ 1. 87 percent felt more energized and comfortable at work. ■ 2. 75 percent felt healthier overall.
■ 3. 71 percent felt more focused and 66 percent felt more productive by being able to easily adjust from sitting to standing throughout the workday ■ 4. 100 percent reported feeling better from being allowed to choose between sitting and standing daily! ■ 5. 54 percent felt reduced upper back, neck, and shoulder stiffness and pain
Sit to Stand Workstation Visual Example: Did you know both Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin knew that standing for work was a good thing to do? Both of these great Americans had stand up workstations, and just look at what they accomplished during their careers. So consider the benefits of a sit to stand workstations, and remember to manage good posture habits of a KNOW-HOW, page 22

Journal Business editor
S I OUX C I T Y | T h e Children’s Museum of Siouxland, which started as the dream of young mothers a decade ago, is now destined to be a reality. The independent, nonprofit agency on April 19 secured a $900,000 state grant. The Vision Iowa award means the $6 million project in downtown Sioux City is nearly fully funded, with only $100,000 to $200,000 left to be raised, said Kari Kellen, the museum’s executive director. “These are really the final dollars that we need to begin construction,” Kellen said. The work is expected to begin by this fall, with the opening anticipated for next
year. The Vision Iowa Community Attraction and Tourism, or CAT, grant is awarded to projects that provide recreational, cultural, entertainment and educational attractions to a community. Kellen said Vision Iowa CAT grants are highly competitive, so receiving the award shows the heft of the museum project. “It is very telling of the caliber of this project,” she said. The Children’s Museum projects 50,000 visitors in its first year of operations, producing a $2 million economic impact for the city. Kellen said the attraction, which will sell local memberships, will belong to an association of more

Spread of stink bug a future crop threat Hanna Russmann
Spencer Daily Reporter
SPENCER, IOWA | In 2011, the first reports of the brown marmorated stink bug in Iowa came from Linn and Johnson counties. Since that time, the invasive insect has spread to nine other counties in the state: Black Hawk, Des Moines, Dubuque, Muscatine, Polk, Pottawattamie, Scott, Story and Warren. According to Robin Pruisner, state entomologist with the Iowa Department of Agriculture, the brown marmorated stink bug is a future threat to crops. “The stink bug is what we call an actual insect because it has the sucking and sticking beak mouth,” Pruisner explained. “It uses that beak mouth to stick into plants and feed on the juices. The
Associated Press
The brown marmorated stink bug has found its way into Iowa. The pest can damage both farm crops and vegetable crops.
brown marmorated stink bug will stick its mouth all the way through corn husks or soybean pods to reach the undeveloped kernels and beans of the plants and suck out the juices.” The way the BMSB feeds can also transmit diseases to
the crops and cause kernels and beans to be deformed and unusable. “In rural crop situations, the good news for Iowa farmers is, unlike on the East Coast, the stink bugs are what we call edgers,” Pruisner said. “They stay
on the edges of the field and don’t move very far inward. What this means for farmers is they will only need to concentrate on spraying on the edges of fields.” It is unknown how much the BMSB will cost farmers in the future. Pruisner said it is hard to determine potential costs because the insect is resistant to pesticides and it will take multiple applications to control. “It has not been an issue yet (locally),” Paul Kassel, ISU Extension and Outreach field agronomist, said. “We don’t have good way to estimate when it will be a problem, but it is a good idea to start checking their fields to make sure it doesn’t become a problem.” According to Pruisner, it is only a matter of time before the insect reaches all
corners of the state. “They are a highly mobile insect,” Pruisner said. “They can fly good distances on their own and they are also good hitchhikers. They find their way into boxes and they are really good at clinging to vehicles. Stopping this insect is virtually impossible.” She continued, “The stink bug starts as a nuisance pest in our homes and then they build up their population. If you’re familiar with box elder bugs, the stink bug is similar to how those insect behave. In the winter, they migrate into homes and garages.” The stink bug is not only a nuisance pest because it makes its way into homes. Like its name suggests, the insect does stink. The odor the bug emits is described
as a mixture of cilantro and burnt tires. “Right now the stink bug is just in the population building stage. Once they build up their population, it won’t be long before we start to see an economic impact on agriculture,” Pruisner said. “Some stink bugs in the southeastern United States have been a real problem, and experts think that this brown marmorated stink bug could turn out like that in Iowa,” Kassel said. “We just have to wait and see.” Individuals can report findings of brown marmorated stink bugs to the ISU Plant Diagnostic Clinic. These reports are used by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship to track the insect across the state.

100th year at Art Center includes Pollock ‘Mural’ in Sioux City BRET HAYWORTH
Business Journal staff writer
SIOUX CITY | The 100th anniversary of the Sioux City Art Center in 2014 will include the most influential exhibit ever in the city, when Jackson Pollock’s painting “Mural” will be shown in a secured first-floor gallery with an alarm system. “Mural,” which is insured for nearly $150 million, will be the most expensive piece to have come through downtown Sioux City. The 20-by8-foot painting is considered the genesis of the Abstract Expressionism, the first truly American art movement that made an international impact. “(Pollock) is basically the face of Abstract Expressionism,” Sioux City Art Center Director Al Harris-Fernandez said. “People are very, very enthusiastic. I am surprised by all the comments that I get. They know it is a major event.” “Mural” will be shown for nine months from late June through April 2015, making for a highly notable 100th year. The anniversary will be celebrated through a host of activities from May 16, 2014, through May 2015.
Harris-Fernandez was “looking for major projects to bring to Sioux City” for the centennial. The Pollock artwork fell into place through some contacts he knows. “You don’t know what you can do until you try,” he said. Back in May 1914 residents incorporated the Sioux City Society of Fine Arts, seeking to create a downtown facility to offer art classes and display local and regional art. Initial classes were held in various community buildings, as well as in Grandview Park during the summer months. In 1937, the Art Center Association of Sioux City began research into a standalone center, and the Sioux City Art Center opened on Feb. 20, 1938, at a downtown Pierce Street site that later became the Williges store. The existing facility at 225 Nebraska St. opened in 1997. Harris has been director for 12 years, and nine people work at the facility. Other artists are hired to teach a variety of courses. Harris-Fernandez is proud of the art, programs and classes available at the center. He said many people wouldn’t have access to highend art without the facility,
which is typically free to visitors, although people pay for classes and to see some special exhibitions. “We provide access to fine art,” he said. “Art is expensive, and fine art is even more expensive.” The 100th anniversary activities will include creation of a book documenting the permanent collections at the art center. Workshops on Pollock’s techniques will be available for people. Harris-Fernandez said Pollock’s work shifted the center of the art world from Paris to New York City. Pollock’s work didn’t result in substantial sales during his lifetime, but later interest exploded and his wife created a foundation directing tens of millions of dollars to established but under-recognized artists. “Mural” is usually housed at the University of Iowa Museum of Art. The painting is nearing the end of a conservation process at the Getty Conservation Institute in Los Angeles, before coming to Sioux City. The process means people will experience vibrant colors that have not been seen since the painting

Heartland Scenic, an Omaha-based firm, is overseeing fabrication of the exhibits, which include interactive displays about food, water, wind and construction, as well as an infant and toddler area and a stage.
A “Farm to Food” exhibit, which will be used to teach children about the importance of the food-production cycle, will be named for Tyson Foods, which donated $250,000 to the museum in March. The farm-to-food exhibit will be a great way for children to learn about the agriculture industry in the region, said Bruce Pautsch, vice president of human
resources for Tyson, the metro area’s largest employer with more than 4,000 employees. Pautsch said it will be an asset for children of the company’s Siouxland employees as well as children who haven’t ever been to a farm. Many children, especially those who live in cities, don’t know the milk their parents buy at a grocery store comes from a cow, he said.

The city of Sioux City pledged $250,000, and Woodbury County will donate $75,000 toward the museum, Kellen said July for the 16,000-square-foot project at 623 Pearl St. Construction is expected to begin in late summer and be completed about a year later. Bids for the 16,000-square-foot project are expected to go out in June. Construction is estimated to take about a year. The first work will be demolition of a large centuryold building. Officials originally had hoped to build the museum inside the former auto garage, but abandoned those plans when the cost to renovate became too prohibitive. The designs calls for constructing a new structure, but keeping portions of two of the original brick facades, along Pearl Street and Seventh Street. The new entrance will be from a parking lot facing Seventh and Water Street. “The front of our new building is actually going to be the back of the old building,” Kellen said.

Pollock: from page 16 was first commissioned in 1943. Pollock, who lived from 1912 to 1956, created the painting by dripping and flinging paint at the canvas. “It almost developed to him dancing back and forth,” Harris-Fernandez said. The painting has brought record attendance to other Iowa facilities, and Sioux City Art Center Curator Todd Behrens said is highly anticipatory about Siouxland people being able to see Pollock’s work. “He did things big and bold,” Behrens said. The art center is privately raising $250,000 to cover
security insurance and shipping the piece to Sioux City in a specialized truck. The University of Iowa Museum of Art is not charging Sioux City a fee to show the painting. After nine months in Sioux City, the painting then will go on a world tour, with stops still being finalized. Harris-Fernandez said big crowds saw a 2003 Rodin exhibit, with people from 48 states and 19 nations taking that in. “We would hope that we will have some pretty high numbers (with Pollock’s piece). It has broken records in other places,” Harris-Fernandez said.
