SIOUXLAND CHAMBER BUILDING TO BE RENOVATED

Chamber makes temporary move Organization to be at 701 Pierce during 101 Pierce’s facelift

Barbara Sloniker, executive vice president of the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce, searches through a box of papers while organizing her office June 29 in the chamber’s temporary quarters on the ground floor of the Pioneer Bank building, 701 Pierce St., in downtown Sioux City.

MASON DOCKTER

Business Journal staff writer‌

SIOUX CITY – After 49 years, the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce building at 101 Pierce St., is getting a major facelift.

Barbara Sloniker, the Chamber’s executive vice president, said the 1969 building will barely be recognizable after renovations are finished in fall 2019.

“We’re really going down to the bones of the building,” she said. “It’ll look totally different than what it has.” In the meantime, the Chamber has set up shop in the first floor of the Pioneer Bank building, 701 Pierce St. Sloniker expects the Chamber and its eight (soon to be nine) staffers will enjoy their time in the downtown office building.

“It’s a beautiful space, it’s convenient for us,” she said.

Renovation FROM PAGE 4

Some of the Chamber’s larger meetings may have to be moved outside the Pioneer Bank building due to parking and space constraints, she said. Board members have already begun volunteering space to hold larger meetings.

Sloniker described the Chamber building’s future exterior as a “glass envelope” encircling the structure, with long aluminum slats up and down the facade. A large “101” (the building’s street address) will be featured prominently on the north-facing side.

“I think it’s going to have really great curb appeal,” she said.

While the old space has served the Chamber well, Sloniker said they’re hoping the building will wow prospective businesses when they stop by for a visit.

“We want to take them into

Nathan Kalaher, with PLaN Architecture, has been selected as

the architect, though the Chamber has yet to name a contractor. Sloniker declined to say how much the Chamber expects the renovation to cost.

Tim Hynds, Sioux City Journal

Empty boxes are shown June 29 in the Siouxland Chamber of Commerce’s temporary quarters on the ground floor of the Pioneer Bank building in downtown Sioux City.

Across Pierce Street from the newly renovated Chamber will be the newly built Gilchrist Learning Center. Sloniker said it’ll be nice to have the new facilities so close

together.

“I think having those two sort of right there on that corridor will really spruce up that area,” Sloniker said.

Blind adventurer to keynote Siouxland Chamber dinner EARL HORLYK

Business Journal staff writer‌

SIOUX CITY – Erik Weihenmayer, the first blind person to climb Mount Everest, will be the keynote speaker for the 33rd annual Siouxland Chamber of Commerce dinner on Sept. 20.

Weihenmayer, the author of a best-selling memoir, “Touch the Top of the World: A Blind Man’s Journey to Climb Farther than

the Eye Can See,” lost his sight as a young teenager.

Despite that, he became an accomplished high school wrestler Weihenmayer and rock climber.

In addition to his successful summit of Mount Everest, Weihenmayer has reached the peak of the seven

summits, the highest mountains on each continent. He is one of only about 150 climbers, worldwide, to accomplish that feat.

“I am eager to travel to the tristate area of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota,” Weihenmayer said in a statement. “As a young athlete, I competed in the National Junior Freestyle Wrestling Tournament in Iowa and I’m excited to return after so many

years.”

The dinner, the Chamber’s largest annual fundraiser, will begin with a social hour at 5:15 p.m. Sept. 20 at the Sioux City Convention Center, 801 Fourth St. The dinner and Chamber program will start at 6:15 p.m., with the keynote presentation slated to start at 8 p.m.

During the event, the Chamber

also will recognize winners of its annual W. Edward Deming Award for Business Leadership and Entrepreneurial Excellence award and the 2018 Ambassador of the Year. Reservations are $90 per person for Chamber members and $110 for non-members.

Iowa grapples with opioid epidemic in rural areas A Home re you aware that more than 70 percent of people who abused prescription pain relievers got the pills from friends or relatives? Remember, it is illegal to take someone else’s prescription medication.

Source: The National Safety Council Use of opioids (which includes prescription pain relievers and heroin) is becoming a problem of epidemic proportions in more rural areas. While alcohol, marijuana and methamphetamines remain the primary substances misused in Iowa, in the last decade significant increases have been observed in the number of Iowans identifying opioids as their drug of choice at the time of admission to treatment and in the number of overdose deaths.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2012, health care providers wrote 259 million prescriptions for opioid pain relievers – enough

for every American adult to have a bottle of pills. Prescription opioid sales in the United States have increased by 300% since 1999, even though there has not been an overall change in the amount of pain Americans report. In a study by the International Narcotics Control Board, the United States accounts for nearly 100% of the Hydrocodone used globally and 81% of Oxycodone used.

Source: IA Board of Nursing Newsletter May, June, July 2018 What can be done: Remove painkillers from your home. Talk with your kids about drugs, and include a discussion of common medications in your home. If you need pain meds, work with your physician to cut back.

Tips To sTay on BudgeT When Building a neW home When you’ve made the decision to build a new home, selecting the right builder is an important part of the Darrel Bullock President process. You want to find a builder Sioux City Building Inspections whose business approach aligns well with your personal preferences. And staying within your budget will be a key part of positive home-building experience.

Being an educated consumer, and asking your home builder the right questions, will help you build the home of your dreams without blowing your budget. Here are some tips: Included features and custom options – It’s important to set your expectations in the beginning. A builder’s model home is often designed to highlight how a buyer can personalize the home, but most of the time, what you see in the model is either upgraded or perhaps even a designer option that may or may not be available. It’s important to know the difference between what features are included and what items have been upgraded to avoid being surprised when you go to contract or even during the building process.

may be offered in the same color and size with a lower-priced option. And if designer knobs or pulls are added, you can achieve a very similar look for far less. The same is true of granite counters and flooring. It pays to ask the builder’s representative or design center consultant how to achieve the look you want and stay within your budget.

The key is to understand whatt incenti incentives are available ailable and apply those to your particular situation in the way that best benefits you.

Warranty and regular maintenance – Most consumers understand that when you purchase a new car that is covered by a warranty, the buyer is still responsible for some maintenance and other costs. The same is true when you buy a newly built home. Before you go to settlement on the purchase of your new home, you and your builder will do a walk-through to conduct a final inspection. This walkthrough provides an opportunity to spot items which may need to be corrected or adjusted, learn about the way your new home works and ask questions about anything you don’t understand.

Closing cost contributions or incentives – In many areas throughout the United States, a builder’s contract will stipulate that they do not pay any closing costs. That means they also don’t pay the traditional closing costs that are typically paid by the sellers when purchasing a used or resale home.

Local retailers anticipating tax holiday

BOOST

S

Shoes are seen at Envy My Closet in Sioux City. All of the regular clothing items in the store are priced under $100, and are thus exempt from sales tax during Iowa’s annual sales tax holiday, Aug. 3-4.

IOUX CITY – Local clothing retailers are gearing up for Iowa’s yearly sales tax holiday.

Some merchants say the two-day period when state and local sales tax are waived on apparel items under $100 leads to a business rush comparable to the Christmas season.

Britni Hilts, owner of local resale boutique Envy My Closet, which sells high-quality secondhand clothing, expects the Aug. 3-4 event to be a boon for the store, as well as customers.

“Generally we start our big summer clearance during the same time,” Hilts said. “It’s our kickoff, really, for back-to-school shopping that weekend.”

By Hilts’ reckoning, the tax holiday likely brings in four times the number of customers as would normally stop in on a Friday and Saturday. She said the store, which sells items of clothing at 50 to 90 percent less than the same clothing would sell for brand-new, is popular with parents shopping for children – and the tax holiday just adds to the savings.

“People get large garbage bags pretty much full of kids’ clothes when they’re stocking up,” she

said. All the items of clothing in the store are priced under $100 and would thus be tax-free.

At Rudolph’s Shoe Mart, owner Mike Pape said the tax holiday means an increase in customers rivaling the holidays. Like Envy My Closet, the sales tax holiday marks the beginning of the fallback to school season at Rudolph’s Shoe Mart.

Pape said that, while the holiday is always popular with parents, it’s

It bears mentioning that not all the shoes and boots in the store are tax-exempt, as some are priced above the $100 threshold.

“We’ve got some under, some Justin Wan, Sioux City Journal over ($100),” Pape said.

Shorts are seen at Envy My Closet Sue Bubb, an assistant store in Sioux City.

Iowa’s rules regarding what is and isn’t exempted from state and local sales tax during the holiday are, at times, confusing. For example, while handkerchiefs are taxed, bandanas aren’t. Baby receiving blankets are exempt while ordinary blankets aren’t. Here is a quick overview of some items that are and are not exempt from sales tax during the holiday, Aug. 3-4: Exempt: Not exempt:  Athletic clothing, including gloves,  Adult or baby diapers  Baby bibs, clothing, blankets pads, helmets, skates, shoes and  Bathing suits uniforms  Bandanas  Backpacks and most other types of bags, including purses, briefcases  Belts  Bras and duffel bags  Clerical vestments and religious  Blankets (except baby receiving apparel blankets)  Coats, jackets and furs  Clothing alterations, repair and  Hats and caps dry cleaning  Dresses  Coin purses  Employee uniforms  Cosmetics  General-purpose boots and  Fishing boots/waders cowboy boots  Handkerchiefs  Hats  Hard hats  Jeans, pants and shorts  Hunting vests  Overshoes  Jewelry and watches  Pajamas  Hair nets  Raincoats, rain hats, ponchos  Rented clothing  Scarves  Suitcases  Shirts  Sunglasses and goggles (non Shoes, shoe inserts, laces, socks prescription) and slippers  Sweatbands  Suspenders  Thread, yarn, buttons, fabric,  Sweaters zippers  Water equipment, including swim  Ties masks, fins, goggles and diving suits  Underpants  Work gear not adaptable for street  Wedding apparel wear, including most types of safety wear

the store sees as a result of the tax holiday. But there are definitely more people out seeking a deal on apparel.

“We are a lot busier,” she said.

Kristi Pittman, owner of women’s specialty boutique A La Mode, said she’s planning on running a 20 percent off promotional sale for teachers during the

two-day stretch to compliment the tax holiday. And everyone gets a free gift with a purchase.

Like the others, she’s enthusiastic about the boost to her business.

“It’s probably about a 35 percent increase in sales,” Pittman said.

“It’s usually a good weekend for us.”
