SIOUX CITY | A Texas company would spend $1.1 billion and $820 million in Iowa and South Dakota, respectively, to build a crude oil pipeline across the two states, according to a new analysis of the project. Energy Transfer Partners has asked state regulators in four states for permission to construct a 1,134-mile pipeline to move 570,000 barrels of crude daily from the Bakken oil fields in western North Dakota to a major shipping depot in Patoka, Ill. In the four states, total project costs for the Dakota Access Pipeline are estimated at $3.8 billion. More than 32,700 construction workers would be hired at average annual salaries of $57,000. In Iowa, the construction would keep 7,600 workers busy for a year, while in South Dakota, 7,100 workers would be on the payroll during that time. Energy Transfer, based in Dallas, Texas, has pledged to hire at least half of the Iowa would reap $628 million in direct prepared for the company by Strategic construction workers from within the the skilled laborers, which would include economic benefits from the construction Economics Group of West Des Moines. states.

Sioux City employers sought for veterans initiative DAVE DREESZEN
Business Journal editor
SIOUX CITY | A coalition of groups have banded together to recruit more employers for a state program that seeks to find private-sector jobs for military veterans. Local leaders launched a campaign to certify Sioux City as one of the first Home Base Iowa communities. To be eligible for the designation, at least 10 percent of the local businesses in a city, county or region must sign up. In Sioux City, the minimum number is 175. So far, about 40 local employers have enrolled. Mayor Bob Scott encouraged more businesses to sign up. “Sioux City is a community that has long respected the sacrifice and commitment of the men and women who have served in our Armed Forces and this is one way that we can demonstrate our gratitude and

our veterans back to Iowa, but it was specifically designed by the governor to invite veterans who are not Iowans to consider relocating to our great state, as well.” Durham led the Siouxland Chamber from 1995 to 2011.

$11.4M in upgrades planned for Interbake Foods plant Investment to result in higher pay for some employees
Cookies are made at Interbake Foods in North Sioux City in 2006. The company recently announced it will invest $11.4 million in new equipment to increase plant efficiency.
DAVE DREESZEN
Business Journal editor
NORTH SIOUX CITY | Interbake Foods will invest $11.4 million to upgrade equipment at its North Sioux City factory, it was announced. “Not only will the company be upgrading existing equipment and adding new machinery to retain its competitive edge, but a number of existing employees will also be elevated into higherpaying operator positions to run the new equipment,” said Gov. Dennis Daugaard, in a statement. The plant, which Daugaard makes Girl Scout cookies and other baked goods, will continue to employ about 500. About 24 operator positions will be upgraded once the equipment is

installed, Interbake President Kevin McDonough said in a statement. McDonough said funding from the Governor’s Office of Economic Development was a key factor in the company’s decision to make the capital investment in southeast South Dakota. The state’s Board of Economic Development approved an undisclosed Reinvestment Payment for the project Wednesday. Interbake Foods, through its ABC Bakers division, is the 10th company
approved for the reinvestment program. Interbake is one of North Sioux City’s largest employers. “This is a significant investment for the company, our com- Menken munity and our state,” said North Sioux City Economic Development Director Kory Menken. “We look forward to Interbake’s continued growth, and our ongoing partnership.”
More investments on the way The Interbake Foods expansion is part of $20 million in capital investments scheduled to be completed in North Sioux City over the next several months. Goodwill of the Great Plains has begun renovations to a structure it recently acquired at 745 North Derby Lane, said Kory Menken, executive director of the North Sioux City Economic Development Corp. The building will serve as a consolidated central warehouse/distribution center for the organization, Menken said. The company’s capital investment is about $700,000, he said. The Sioux City-based Goodwill serves the largest territory of any Goodwill in the United States, from Mason City, Iowa, to the east; Rapid City, S.D. to the west; Norfolk, Neb., to the south, and parts of southwestern Minnesota to the north. Also in North Sioux City, construction also has begun on Consumers’ Supply’s $8 million facility at 718 North Derby Lane, on land between Interbake and Royal Canin USA. The expansion is expected to create 20 new jobs. The 30,000-square-foot facility will produce bagged pelleted or texturized feeds in half of the facility and vitamin premixes in the other half. The project was announced this summer. The company originally planned to build in the city’s Flynn Business Park, but it was determined the North Derby Lane site better suited its needs, Menken said. – Dave Dreeszen

Five common myths of hand washing How many times a day do you wash your hands and are you doing it correctly? Think again. A 2013 study in the Journal of Environmental Health showed that only 5 percent of people properly wash their hands on a daily basis. Cintas Corporation and Henry the Hand Foundation have teamed up to dispel the five most common hand washing myths. Keeping hands clean is one of the most important ways to avoid getting sick and spreading germs. Researchers at the NIH found that people touch their faces on average 3.6 times per hour. So hand washing is the answer. Test your knowledge about the best way to clean your hands. 1. It doesn’t matter how long I wash my
hands as long as I use soap—False The next time you are in the restroom and washing your hands, think of the chorus of your favorite song. Studies show that you should scrub your hands with soap a minimum of 15 to 30 seconds in order to effectively remove germs. 2. Hand sanitizers can replace washing your hands with soap and waDEB TWYFORD ter—False Washing hands with soap and water is the best and most effective way to reduce the number of microbes and germs on hands. Although alcohol-based (at least 60 percent) hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs on hands in some situations, they are not as effective as soap and
Home & Office
water when it comes to removing and inactivating dangerous gastrointestinal illnesscausing germs. 3. The hotter the water you use for hand washing, the better—False Studies show that water temperature does not affect germ removal. In fact, there is no research to prove that higher temperatures improve hand washing at all. Hotter water can also dry out skin, which leaves your skin more susceptible to germs and can make hand washing painful. It is best to wash your hands with the temperature that you find comfortable. 4. You don’t have to dry your hands after washing them—False Studies show that germs can be more easily transferred to and from wet hands, which is why drying hands is essential to staving off bacteria after hand washing. 5. Hand dryers are more hygienic that
paper towels—False Researchers found that paper towels are superior to air dryers and can help remove bacteria, unlike air dryers, which can increase bacteria counts. Because air dryers have been shown to spread bacteria between three and six feet from the device, paper towels are also far less likely to contaminate other restroom users. Source: health-e-headlines November 2014 Hopefully you will stay healthy and happy during the cold and flu season this winter. Please keep in mind the importance of hand washing to protect yourself from unwanted germs. Deb Twyford is an Registered Nurse for Worksite Wellness at Mercy Business Health Services.

Transform your companies’ musculoskeletal well being Did you know that according to the Oct. 17 Gallup-Healthways “Well-Being Index” 86 percent of full-time US workers are now overweight or obese and have had recurring physical pain in their back, neck, knee, or leg in the last 12 months. They also have at least one other chronic health conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, cancer, high blood cholesterol, asthma, or depression which leads to an estimated lost productivity cost of $153 billion annually! These employees miss an estimated 450 million additional days of work each year compared to healthy workers with a BMI less than 25, without a chronic disease and without physical complaints of pain. The time is now, to take a holistic approach to the well-being, ergonomics and injury prevention of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Chronic musculoskeletal pain, disability, obesity and chronic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and cancer are largely preventable and reversible by transforming and improving our daily lifestyle habits at work, home, rest and play.
Take the first step to better health and vitality today by choosing to drink 40 or more ounces of water daily and slowing working towards half of your body weight in ounces. The benefits include a reduction in high blood pressure, heart attack ERIK NIEUWENHUIS and stroke by 40 to 60 percent. Water also lubricates your joints, thus reducing osteoarthritis or joint stiffness and pain, the number one cause of disability in the United States. Water will also boost your energy level throughout the day and makes every cell in your body work and function more efficiently. Occupational health problems of the modern workplace are complex and come with costs but employers should not be discouraged about tackling them. If they are willing to take a comprehensive, multifaceted approach, they can make significant improvements. UnityPoint Health- St. Luke’s, a 160-bed regional medical center with 1,300 employees, implemented the IMPACC—the Industrial Athlete “WorkSmart” Ergonomics
Business Know How
Program in 1998. Since implementation, St. Luke’s has reported several improvements in employee health, including: An 85 percent reduction of OSHA recordable MSD injuries to the lower back and shoulders for those workers involved in patient care since 2001. Reduction in days away from work claims (or lost time) by 80 percent and an 87 percent reduction in restricted duty claims and days. This past year we had days away from work and restricted duty DART rate of 1.3 which is outstanding for those in the health care field. Health care has the highest incidence rate for MSD injuries, more than any other industry. Now that’s working smart, saving money to meet our mission at St. Luke’s to “improve the health of the people we serve” and improving our daily well-being as employees to lead by example! The essential starting point of the “Industrial Athlete” WorkSmart Ergonomics program is to evaluate the workplace with the Ergonomic Work RiskAnalysis. This may be focused on those departments or work groups with the highest rates and most severe musculoskeletal injuries determined from your yearly OSHA log, or your whole company. The analysis evaluates the
ergonomic and musculoskeletal risk factors such as workplace setup, process of work and tools and equipment being used. In addition, the workers’ posture habits, body mechanics and lifestyle habits are monitored. Paying attention to personal ergonomics and lifestyle habits is what sets the Industrial Athlete program apart from other ergonomics programs. The observed musculoskeletal (MSD) risk factors and corrective recommendations are detailed in a written report with digital photos and videos of the workplace, jobs and/ or workers being evaluated. In ergonomics, healthy lifestyle habits, functional exercise and improved posture habits, dynamic stretching and musculoskeletal self-care techniques show that small improvements lead to large outcomes. By taking the next step in improving your employees overall health, your company’s bottom line and workers will be transformed! Erik Nieuwenhuis is the WorkSmart Ergonomics Injury Prevention Specialist and Wellness Consultant at UnityPoint Health- St.Luke’s. Contact him at 712279-1842 or erik.nieuwenhuis@unitypoint. org

Shared experience Sioux City coworking space attracts entrepreneurs DAVE DREESZEN
Business Journal editor
SIOUX CITY | After starting his own consulting business, Austin Pierce tried at first to work at home. But he quickly grew tired of the secluded environment, putting in a day’s work at the dining room table. “I like the freedom of working for myself, but I realized after a while that I missed the structure and interaction of actually having an office and place to go,” Pierce said. Pierce, who describes his business, Fascinatingly, as “helping interesting people share interesting ideas,” found a home at Springboard Coworking. Springboard, located on the second floor of the Fourth & Jackson building in downtown Sioux City, offers communal space to entrepreneurs, freelancers, mobile workers and other solo professionals. Coworking space, which has been growing in popularity in many metro areas, offers startups a more affordable option than a traditional private office, but with many,

if not all the same perks. Springboard membership plans start at $20 per day, or $60 per month for a standard desk, and go up to $300 per month for a private office. Prices include the use of a desk, chairs, Wi-Fi access, printers, conference rooms, a kitchen, a reception area and even coffee in the morning. The open office concept also provides intangible benefits for the dozen members. “Those who are here, they love it,” Springboard Coworking owner Diane Daby said. “They enjoy being with like-minded people that kind of think like they think. They enjoy the collaboration of bouncing ideas off of each other.”
John Doster, an environmental specialist, moved into Springboard Coworking after relocating from Des Moines to Sioux City last April. Doster said he mingles with the other members whenever he gets a chance. “Everybody’s pretty easy to get along with,” Doster said. “You meet a lot of people who do a lot of different things.” Springboard also regularly hosts networking events, such as the monthly First Fridays Coffees, which allows Springboard members to exchange notes with other entrepreneurs and small business owners. Daby said she learned about co-working while in Sioux Falls, where she was employed at the University of South Dakota School of Medicine. A co-working space, called Meso, rapidly grew from a part-time to full-time job for its owner, she said.

FOOD
POWERHOUSE Metro area makes variety of foods sold globally RIGHT: Blue Bunny Personals roll of the line at one of Wells Enterprises’ ice cream plants in Le Mars, Iowa.
DAVE DREESZEN
Business Journal editor
SIOUX CITY | In 2013, metro Sioux City ranked fifth in Business Facilities’ list of the nation’s top 10 cities for food processing. The top-tier rating in the trade publication was no fluke. In 2009 and 2010, Sioux City was No. 1 on Business Facilities list. The magazine cited the tri-state metro area for its “highly successful development of a huge, food-oriented, job-creating engine.’’ Local plants make a wide assortment of consumer foods, from beef and honey to popcorn and cookies to candy and ice cream. Here’s a look at some of the manufacturers and their products.
JOLLY TIME POP CORN
The fifth-generation, family business this year is celebrating 100 years of packaging Jolly Time popcorn in Sioux City. Jolly Time products are sold in all 50 states and 40 countries. Three years ago, the business completed a $6 million expansion of its microwave popcorn manufacturing operations along 41st Street in Leeds. Growing demand for Jolly Time’s Healthy Pop variety fueled the construction of the new 43,000-square-foot plant. Sales of Healthy Pop, which is 94 percent fat free, took off following an endorsement from Weight Watchers.
Blue Bunny products are found in every state and several other countries. The family-owned dairy, founded in Le Mars in 1913, makes more than 70 ice cream flavors. About 1.5 billion sticks are required annually for the company’s frozen novelties. And, 8 tons of chocolate ice cream bar coating are used each year, enough to cover 47 football fields at a thickness of one inch.
SUE BEE HONEY
The Sioux Honey Association produces about 40 million pounds of honey at its plants in Sioux City, Anaheim, Calif.; and Elizabethtown, N.C. The products are sold across the United States and around the globe. Besides Sue Bee, other honey brands bottled at the plants include Clover Maid, Aunt Sue, Natural Pure and North American.

Pipeline: Study: Iowa, S.D. to reap benefits
15
Office Space fOr rent
FROM PAGE 4
The South Dakota leg of the pipeline would travel 267.4 miles. It would cross the Big Sioux River into Iowa
in northwest Lyon County, near the town of Inwood. In Iowa, 343 miles of underground pipe would be laid through 17 counties. Besides Lyon, the proposed route would pass through parts of five other Siouxland counties – Sioux, O’Brien, Cherokee, Buena Vista and Sac. The lengths would range from a third of a mile in Sac to 32.68 miles in Sioux. In Iowa, the company estimates it will spend $200 million to acquire permanent easements for about 2,000 tracts of land. Payments for farmland would vary, depending on productivity. In Sioux County, home to some of the richest ground in the state, maximum payments are estimated at $21,000 per acre. If the Iowa Utility Board gives the go-ahead to the project, the pipeline developer would have the power to acquire land from unwilling sellers through eminent domain. But Chuck Fry, vice president of engineering for Energy Transfer, said the company expects to reach voluntarily agreements in all but 2 to 3 percent of cases. In addition to the 50-foot permanent easements, another 35 to 100 feet of adjacent space may be needed for workers to bury the 30inch diameter pipe, Fry said. Besides easement

payments, Energy Transfer also would compensate farmers for 100 percent of crop losses during the first year, and for partial losses for two years after the construction is complete. The pipe will be buried at least 48 inches deep. To preserve the farmland’s productivity, contractors will segregate the topsoil so that it can be placed back on top of the trench at the end of construction, Fry said. There also will be a minimum 24 inches of separation between the pipeline and field drainage tiles. Economic benefits to the four states will continue long after the project is finished, he said. In Iowa, 25 permanent jobs would be created
to maintain the pipeline, according to the Siegelman report. In South Dakota, there would be 31 jobs. The valuation of the pipeline would generate about $27 million in local property taxes annually in Iowa, and $13.5 million in additional property taxes in South Dakota. A group of landowners and environmentalists oppose the project. “This pipeline and others across the country have to fit in with a plan to reduce carbon pollution and not increase it,” said Jim Redmond, executive committee chairman of the Northwest Iowa Group of the Sierra Club. “It’s a major cause of
climate change. I think any new proposal like this has to be looked at carefully.” Fry said the pipeline would produce a more efficient, safer way to transport the Bakken crude to domestic markets. The product now is largely moved by trucks and rail. The company wants to begin operation of the pipeline by the end of 2016. It already has held a series of town hall-like meetings with affected landowners in the Dakotas. Starting next month, the Iowa Utilites Board will sponsor a series of more formal meetings on the pipeline project. The board requires the sessions before considering an application.
Veterans: City seeks Home Base Iowa status McGowan
FROM PAGE 4 with Home Base Iowa. “As our local economy continues to grow, recruiting and retaining a qualified workforce becomes a bigger and bigger priority,” McGowan said. “One way we can alleviate
the labor shortage is to actively recruit our military veterans to Siouxland.” To qualify, employers must be enrolled in the state’s Skilled Iowa Program. Businesses also are asked to post their job listings on the
Home Base Iowa website, and set a general goal for the number of veterans they intend to hire by the end of 2018. Local leaders stress a good faith effort to hire even one veteran over the course of the next four years is sufficient to qualify.

Springboard: Shared space offers benefits PLUMBING FROM PAGE 12 upper floors of the 4th & Jackson Building, which has been extensively renovated in recent years. She opened the 1,466-square-foot coworking space about a year ago. Membership recruitment has been largely by word-of-mouth and through social media sites like Facebook. Prospective members are encouraged to try out the space for free on Wednesdays. On a wall in the reception area, Daby posted an image of a tree with the branches filled with business cards from the Springboard Coworking members. The tenants include Blake Anderson and Sean Richardson, owners of a startup tech firm. Their mobile app marketed to convenience stores, called Pushlee, has won top prizes in a number of regional entrepreneurial competitions. Daby rattles off the names and occupations of other Springboard members. Some like Melanie Murphy Arnold, of Hancock Agricultural Investment Group, travel for work on a regular basis. When in town, Murphy Arnold regularly brings her pugs Squishy and Shumai into the office. The husband and wife team of Chris Norvell and Brenda Noll-Norvell used to operate their tax preparation business, CD Norvell PC, out of their Sioux City home. In the last tax season, they started meeting clients at Springboard because “I just didn’t want all of those people in our house,” Brenda said. The Springboard space, Brenda said, is “nice and bright and open and roomy.” While the setting is more professional, the space also has a homy feel,

an added plus during the winter months, she said. For an extra fee, Springboard members can get a key that gives them 24-7 access. Daby said about 95 percent of members took that option. Pierce, who provides online services such as Web design, podcasting and video and audio, said the coworking space allows him to put in a 9-to-5 day without the distractions of home. “I try not to work odd hours,” he said.
