Centenarian tips for healthy aging , staying young

eptember is “Healthy Aging Month.” This month, we’ll take a look at multiple sources to discover the healthy lifestyle habits of centenarians across the United States and the world and see how the Power 9 Blue Zone project principles align to help people feel better and live longer and happier lives! I will also give you some real life examples from my role model of healthy aging, my grandfather, Nelson Nieuwenhuis, who lived to be 103 years young, only three months shy of his 104th birthday!

SIOUX CITY | Downtown Partners of Sioux City has been awarded a $25,000 Gilchrist Foundation grant to finance two large murals downtown. Downtown Partners executive director Ragen Cote expressed her excitement about the influx of cash to support the Sioux City Mural Project, which promotes the arts in the city through the creation and installation of murals on building facades. “We are extremely grateful for the support of the Gilchrist Foundation and for the enthusiastic cooperation of our property owners, without which, this project would not be possible,” she said. “There are examples of inspiring art throughout downtown, and we would like to add to the mix and enhance our streets with the addition of murals.” Martin Ron of Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Jenna Brownlee of Des Moines will paint the murals. Ron is considered one of the top “street artists” in the world, with his work found as far away as Malaysia. Brownlee is a senior graphic designer for the Greater Des Moines Partnership and recently had some of her work installed in the Des Moines International Airport. Downtown Partners, a nonprofit dedicated to improving Sioux City’s central hub, already have two properties lined up to house the murals.

Submitted

The Goosmann Law Firm, 410 Fifth St., will soon house one of two new murals slated to be painted in downtown Sioux City. The murals are part of the Sioux City Mural Project and are being financed through a $25,000 grant from the Gilchrist Foundation.

One mural will grace the recently renovated offices of the Goosmann Law Firm, 501 Douglas Street. The mural will be visible coming into downtown along Fifth Street from the west and from the Historic Pearl District. Jeana Goosmann, CEO and managing partner, said the firm is thrilled to be part of the Sioux City Mural Project and look forward to seeing Ron’s creation. The other mural will be placed on the side of M’s on Fourth, an Italian restaurant and wine shop located in the heart of the Historic Fourth District.

In a joint statement, owners Dan Myers and Vernon Meyer welcomed the future artwork to their property. “As we continue to make enhancements both inside and outside our restaurant; this will not only beautify our building but Historic Fourth Street.” Each mural will take two to four weeks to complete. Work was expected to begin in August. While Ron and Brownlee are in Sioux City, the muralists will have opportunities to engage with the Sioux City community about their work on the project.

SIOUX CITY | A longtime Sioux City refrigeration business could be operating in a brand-new, multimillion-dollar facility by early summer 2018. Keizer Refrigeration is planning to open an expanded facility along Harbor Drive, eight miles to the south of its current location in the 3200 block of Highway 75. As part of its relocation and expansion, the company also plans to add 12 new workers to its current staff of 35. “We’re excited to grow in Sioux City,” president Shane Keizer said. “We’re happy to be along the interstate and get some more exposure, as well.” The new 55,000-squarefoot facility at 5200 Harbor Drive will include a twofloor office area for sales, a sales floor for truckers to purchase items and parts, and then an open-bay area for truck and trailer work. Keizer said the project will be an investment of $7 million to $8 million and will double the company’s service and parts area. The development would occur on about 20 acres of a 30-acre property. The rest will be split into two lots – measuring four acres and six

Keizer said the goal is to open by June 1, 2018. He added that the new location’s proximity to the soon-to-open Seaboard Triumph Foods pork facility in the city’s Bridgeport West Industrial Park should add an influx of business. “When John Morrell closed (in 2010), it kind of hurt us,” he said. “I think the new pork plant will help our business. It will bring a lot more customers into the area.” Keizer Refrigeration

How is stress affecting your life?

e all experience stress in our lives, but have you thought about how stress affects your health and wellbeing? It’s a challenge to remember that 10 percent of life is what happens to us, 90 percent is how we react to it. Some stress in our lives is a good thing, it can give you a rush of energy at just the right time. But if stress lasts a long time and becomes chronic your health may suffer. According to the American Institute of Stress (AIS), numerous studies show that job stress is far and away the major source of stress for American adults and that it has escalated progressively over the past few decades. Increased levels of job stress, as assessed by the perception of having little control but lots of demands, have been demonstrated to be associated with increased rates of heart attack, hypertension and other disorders. In New York, Los Angeles and other municipalities, the relationship between job stress and heart attacks is so well acknowledged that any police officer who suffers a coronary event on or off the job is assumed to have a work related injury and is

compensated accordingly (including heart attack sustained while fishing on vacation or gambling in Las Vegas). In the book “Preventative Stress Management in Organizations,” authors write that “strong, healthy relationships are in themselves powerful protective factors for collective and individual wellbeing. Healthy relationships have a powerful buffering effect against the adverse effects of stress in organizations and have a remedial and therapeutic effect when people are hurting.” So what can you do? Call a friend, find a mentor, join a support group. Spend time building your most important relationships and seek out counseling. Many organizations have Employee Assistance Plan (EAP) programs available for

employees and their families. This can be a great resource at no cost. Authors of the book “WellBeing” view finding a mentor at work as critical step to career success. Organizations that end up on the list of best places to work often have mentoring programs built in. According to “Preventing Job Stress” by James E. Porter, The Stress Prevention Model is a new six-step model for managing stress at work. It’s a proactive model that understands that on some days the average worker doesn’t have time to catch his or her breath, let alone take time out to meditate, exercise, or practice yoga. The model consists of: · Assess your stress. Assess the demands being placed on you. Figure out what they are and measure them. You can’t solve a problem until you know exactly what it is. · Avoid unnecessary stress. Avoid the demands that don’t match your capabilities. Delegate the jobs you can’t do or don’t want to do because they cause you unnecessary stress. Plan ahead to avoid unnecessary

demands. Practice time management. · Appraise every stressful situation. Properly appraising the difficulty of the demand and properly appraising your capability of meeting that demand is a crucial step. · Accept stress using mindfulness. Learning to occasionally accept the disparity between demands and capabilities as an opportunity for growth is the fourth step. · Activate your life to build resilience. Improving your ability to handle demands by developing coping skills and strengthening the body is the fifth step. · Attune to others by building your support network. Getting help with big demands (like loss of income, injury, illness, or death of a loved one) through social support of building your support network proactively (by helping others) so that when big challenges come you are in a better position to handle them is the sixth step. Accept the thing you cannot change. Most of us are familiar with the Serenity Prayer: O God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the

courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. This is a great prayer to keep close by and read regularly. Name the things you can’t change and work on taming them. Journaling at non-stressful times may be helpful. Download a mobile device app. www.Calm.com is a mindfulness phone app available for iPhone and Android. www.Calm.com can help you meditate, sleep, relax and much more. GPS For The Soul is an app you can download from iTunes for your iPhone.

New housing

DOWNTOWN Bekins building may welcome renters as soon as next April

MASON DOCKTER

Business Journal staff writer

IOUX CITY | For many years, the faded, paintedon advertisement on the side of the Bekins Moving and Storage building has advertised it as the place “where beautiful homes begin.” The former storage building at the corner of West Fourth Street and Wesley Parkway is going through a sort of rebirth. Instead of being the place where beautiful homes begin, the Bekins building will itself be a ‘beautiful home’ for dozens of renters. Built in 1906, the Bekins building was the first in ABOVE: Construction continues at the Bekins building in Sioux City.

BELOW: Construction continues at the Bekins building in Sioux City. building is in the middle of being transformed into an apartment complex with 70 loft-style residences, which are expected to rent for between $700 and $750 per month. To that end, there’s been a lot of hubbub at the Bekins building lately. The one-story former retail addition of the building was taken down in July, and new windows are being cut out from the building’s masonry walls. The man responsible for this work is Clint Stencil, a developer and owner of Sioux Falls-based Clint Stencil Construction. Stencil worked with architectural firm M+ Architects

of Sioux City on the project. The project is progressing nicely, Stencil said. Work on new electrical and plumbing infrastructure has begun, and roofing is almost complete. Stencil said the decision was made to tear down the one-story part, “mostly because it wasn’t in very good shape.”

Besides that, Stencil had a vision for the space occupied by that part of the building – a lawn. “We wanted some green area for our residents,” Stencil said. “And we really didn’t have enough room to have a yard area.” When the apartments are finished, they will boast Energy Star appliances, and residents will have access

to an exercise facility as well as a game room with a fireplace and television sets. Virtually every part of the interior will be brand-new, he said, except for some areas with exposed brickwork. Not much inside the old industrial structure was set up for residential occupation. “On the inside, it was all

concrete and brick, basically,” Stencil said. “Structurally it was in good shape, it just needed to be cleaned up.” The developer said he will start to accept applications to live in the new apartments around late December or January. Mid-April 2018 is the target date for the project to be complete. Clint Stencil Construction, Stencil’s company, is no stranger to ventures like the Bekins building. What drew him to it, he said, was the building’s proximity to the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, as well as downtown. “We’ve done several projects that are similar to this,” he said. “I guess I just liked the location of it.” Marty Dougherty, Sioux City’s economic development director, said that the city is happy to work with Stencil on the development of the Bekins building into apartments. “We’re very excited about that,” Dougherty said. City documents indicate that the improved Bekins building will create about $4.2 million in new assessed valuation on the premises. The city worked with Stencil to help him try and obtain economic aid for the project, such as workforce housing credits through the state and the Facade Improvement Grant Program through Sioux City. “We’ve worked on the project quite extensively,” Dougherty said. He added that, because Stencil and his investors have invested around $6.5 million in the project, it made sense for the city to provide a little help. Dougherty stressed the importance of marketrate housing and mixeduse housing to the future of downtown. “Sioux City’s downtown is still kind of in the early stages of growth for the potential for people to live and work in the downtown area,” he said.
