After doing research, it was determined that the house was one of the log cabins of the Theophile Bruguier farm. The cabin was given to the City of Sioux City as an historic structure, and is considered to be the oldest structure in Sioux City.

The adjoining Betty Strong Encounter Center seeks to encounter deeper meanings of the expedition and its transforming impact on the people, land and rivers of this area, using changing exhibits, movies and a year-round calendar of programs and activities for all ages.

A steady lunchtime crowd enters McCarthy & Bailey’s Irish Pub (423 Pearl St.) on a sunny Wednesday afternoon.

As hungry patrons order such Midwestmeets-the-Emerald-Isle fare like Leprechaun Balls (spiced Irish sausage wrapped around fresh mozzarella cheese and a fiery boysenberry sauce) and Addison’s Irish nachos (lightly seasoned potato skins topped with corned beef, bacon, onions and smoked gouda cheese that’s served with a horseradish sour cream), owner Rick 12

Bertrand looked on with a smile on his face.

“Before the Hard Rock (Hotel & Casino) opened up (in late July), we had to discontinue our lunch service,” he said, shaking his head. “Now, (McCarthy & Bailey’s) is doing great business all day long.”

No one knows exactly how many people will be coming to gamble, dine and attend concerts at the Hard Rock, but some estimate as many as two million visitors will stop annually.

A few months after Hard Rock’s opening, Lori Stekle is already seeing an increase in customers at her Funkalicious Boutique

(409 Pearl St.) “I had my first customers from Norway,” she said, inside a store full of designer clothing and jewelry. “The couple had seen the Hard Rock guitar from the interstate and decided to stop and visit our downtown.

This is the phenomenon that Stekle was hoping for. Call it the “Hard Rock halo effect.”

“The husbands may come in to gamble but the wives come in to shop,” she said simply. “It’s been happening all the time.”

That should help businesses like

It took Mac Dolan and his crew more than two weeks to completely refurbish Work & Church Booze Parlor. The 215 Fourth St. bar replaces Bergie’s Tap, which is moving down the street.

A veteran Sioux City bar owner, Dolan opened Work & Church Booze Parlor (215 Fourth St.) mere days before Hard Rock began business.

“On nights when there’s a big show, we’re swamped,” he explained. “As soon as a show lets out, people will come over here.”

Bertrand has seen a similar trajectory of Hard Rock patrons at McCarthy & Bailey’s as well as his other Pearl Street establishments, Pearls Wine and Booze (417 Pearl St.) and The Blue Ribbon Tap (415 Pearl St.) “The Hard Rock is limited in the number of customers it can serve after a show,” Bertrand allowed. “Not only have we been getting customers from the Hard Rock, we’ve also been getting folks from the Tyson Events Center after one of their big shows.”

This is exactly what Dolan predicted would happen. The longtime owner of Mac Behrs (a sports bar on the eastern side of Fourth Street) said the crowds are quite different at Work & Church.

“It depends on who’s playing at Hard Rock, but we see older customers earlier in the evening and younger people as the night progresses,” he said. “So far, we’ve seen a very good mix and a fun vibe.”

That’s a trend that Stekle is hoping will continue.

“The Pearl St. business district has plenty of interesting shops and restaurants,” she said. “I think it’s nice that we’re getting more exposure and more foot traffic.”

Will that result in more sales?

“I bet it will,” Stekle said with a smile.

Venues work in tandem to book acts DOLLY A. BUTZ

dbutz@siouxcityjournal.com

SIOUX CITY | The Tyson Events Center’s entertainer wishlist is always changing, according to Erika Newton, events and facilities department executive director.

Country/rock singer Kidd Rock has been on the list for years, along with American country/folk band Zac Brown Band.

The Jonas Brothers, pop stars who catapulted to fame with help from the Disney Channel, have been crossed off the Tyson’s list. It’s not because Newton successfully booked them. She said they’re no longer relevant.

“Five years ago we really wanted to get the Jonas Brothers here,” she said. “Well, now we don’t really care if we get the Jonas Brothers here because no one’s booking the Jonas Brothers. We don’t even know what they’re doing.”

Newton relies on a network of agents and promoters in New York City, Los Angeles and Tennessee to bring the big names to Sioux City; and she said they’re familiar with the local market.

“They are calling me on the phone all the time; and we’re talking constantly about what’s available for this market and what would make sense for this market,” she said.

The process is similar for the Sioux City Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, according to general manager Todd Moyer, who said he reviews a list of available artists as well as those who may have Newton performed at the property in Las Vegas. He said he looks for acts that will appeal to casino patrons such as The Lettermen, a pop vocal trio, or rock band 38 Special.

“Sometimes we’ll make an offer that is for both Moyer properties so they’ll do a couple dates in Las Vegas and maybe add a date in Sioux City,” he explained. “Part of our process is working with Erika (Newton) and seeing what she is booking for the Tyson and the Orpheum and making sure that we’re not competing for the same audience.”

Moyer said he won’t book a country act for a Friday night show at Anthem, an intimate theater just off the casino floor that accommodates 600 to 850 people, if another country act is playing the Tyson Events Center the following night.

Bruce R. Miller, Sioux City Journal

Bass guitarist Nikki Sixx and lead singer Vince Neil of Mötley Crüe perform at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City.

“That would just basically splinter that market and the ticket expense budget that people have wouldn’t go toward both shows,” he said.

There’s a lot that goes on behind the scenes before an artist steps foot in Anthem or the Tyson Events Center. Sometimes, Newton said, 30 offers are made before booking a single show.

“It’s just kind of one of those processes where you have to keep going and you have to keep trying and trying until you get that artist booked into your venue,” she said.

Artists on the wishlist may decide not to go on tour or choose not to bring their tours close to Sioux City. Newton said they might forgo markets Sioux City’s size altogether. Every artist and every tour is different.

Newton consults with local music critics and radio promotions directors to find out what people are listening to and what radio stations are playing.

“That’s a good pulse for as far as what’s selling and what’s popular,” she said.

“From there we try to whittle it down.”

Databases show which tours are selling the best in markets comparable to Sioux City. Sometimes speaking with promoters who have hosted a particular entertainer at their venue offers some insight, according to Newton.

“Just because an artist is really popular and sells a lot of records, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they would do well in Sioux City Iowa,” she said. “Sometimes we need to kind of separate those two and figure out what would do well here versus what would do well in Los Angeles or New York City.”

Newton doesn’t see Omaha’s venues as competition, but more of collaborator. She doesn’t know how Sioux Falls’ new Denny Sanford Premier Center will affect the Tyson’s ability to book shows.

“Omaha isn’t really a challenge for us,” she said. “We’ve shown time and time again that shows can play Sioux City and play Omaha and do successful business in both venues at both markets.”

Newton points to Carrie Underwood who played a Sunday night in Omaha and a Monday night in Sioux City. Both shows, she said, did very well. She expects the same outcome for Mötley Crüe. The heavy metal rockers played the Tyson in August; and they will play Omaha’s CenturyLink Center in November.

“Our show was profitable; and I’m sure Omaha will have a profitable show as well,” Newton said. “Omaha and Sioux City can play well together.”

HISTORY Early Sioux City History In 1804 and again in 1806 the Lewis & Clark Expedition traveled through the area on the Missouri River. Theophile Bruguier, a French fur trader, married local Indian chief War Eagle’s daughter and settled in the Riverside area in 1849. Sioux City was platted in 1854 by Dr. John K. Cook and incorporated in 1857. The town developed around the mouth of Perry Creek on the Missouri River.

Steamboats brought the first settlers and supplies to the area and helped to make Sioux City a retail and wholesale center for the region.

The Combination Bridge spanned the Missouri River and connected Sioux City and South Sioux City. Built in 1895, the bridge carried or combined railroad, wagon and pedestrian traffic. It was replaced in the 1980s by the Siouxland Veterans Memorial Bridge.

The Romanesque-styled Federal building of 1897 was converted to City Hall in 1948 and restructured and modernized in 1995.

Boom Period Sioux City boomed in the late 1880s and early 1890s. Many people thought Sioux City would become another “Chicago” on the great plains. The Panic of 1893, however, stopped the city’s growth. The city did recover and became the business and recreational hub for the tri-state region.

Pearl Street was city’s first “main” street and ran north from the docks on the Missouri River levee toward the residential north side.

22

visitsiouxcity.org

The 1891 Corn Palace was so large that it spread across Pierce Street and featured a large archway that allowed traffic to pass through. The palace featured a balcony atop the main 200-foot tower. There, visitors could take in a magnificent view of the city and the surrounding three states.

The nation’s third elevated railroad system provided transportation from the suburb of Morningside to downtown businesses in the 1890s. The “el” went out of business in 1901 and was replaced by automobiles and buses.

20th Century Growth The city recovered after the Panic of 1893 with a renewed spirit and a building boom. The Prairie School and Art Deco and Modem styles of architecture can be seen in many buildings and houses in Sioux City built in the 20th century. WPA projects in the 1930s included a Bandshell, park shelter houses, a football stadium and roads and bridges.

The Woodbury County Courthouse stood out on Sioux City’s skyline from 1878-1918, on the southeast corner of Sixth and Pierce streets.

The Floyd Monument was built in 1901 to honor Sgt. Charles Floyd, the only member of the Lewis & Clark Expedition to die. It became the nation’s first Historic Landmark in 1960.

Music lovers keep Sioux City Symphony strong Organization approaches 100th year

ALLY KARSYN

akarsyn@siouxcityjournal.com

By sounding off with a varietal blend of classical and contemporary music, broadening community outreach programs and implementing new technology to enhance the concert-going experience, the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra continues to strike a chord.

While the local ensemble gets ready to celebrate its centennial next year, other symphony orchestras across the country are struggling to stay viable, plagued by dwindling crowds and rising costs.

The Green Bay Symphony Orchestra in Wisconsin is set to disband after the 2014-2015 season. And the Memphis Symphony Orchestra in Tennessee nearly met the same fate, but fundraising campaigns saved it from financial crisis.

“In Sioux City, we have a community of supporters who know the importance of having a symphony orchestra as part of the cultural makeup of a city,” said music director Ryan Haskins.

He added that a passionate board of directors, administration and staff ensure operations continue to run as smoothly as possible in managing and promoting the talents of 70-plus musicians, who belong to a group that traces its origins back to the 26

Morningside College Orchestra started in 1915.

The Sioux City Symphony Orchestra opens its 99th season Sept. 27 with guest violinist Jennifer Koh. Other concerts will feature composer Lowell Liebermann and clarinetist Miles Jaques on Nov. 15, Broadway star Ashley Brown on Feb. 14 and the Weiss-Kaplan-Newman Trio on April 18.

In a tribute to the 75th anniversary of “The Wizard of Oz,” the symphony will perform the film score live while the entire original film is projected above the orchestra on Oct. 18.

The Christmas Spectacular returns Dec. 14 with holiday favorites and sing-alongs, and the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra will host the 8th Iowa Piano Competition on March 21.

“Here, in Sioux City, I think variety is very important,” Haskins said. “While we want to provide our symphony regulars with fulfilling and satisfying selections of music, programs and artists, we also want to program so that someone coming to the symphony for the very first time feels comfortable and welcome.”

And yet, the Sioux City Symphony Orchestra does more than play a full season of concerts. A number of outreach programs connect performers with members of the

community.

Through a recent endeavor called Music in Hospitals, the symphony works closely

with UnityPoint Health-St. Luke’s to provide small informal concerts for patients and staff during the day.

The woodwind quintet, brass quintet and string quartet present more than 50 in-school performances for third- through fifth-graders. These special concerts take place throughout the region’s school districts.

Each year, the Orpheum Theatre welcomes about 5,000 students to hear the symphony play as part of an outreach program, Concerts for Young Audiences.

Another component of the symphony’s focus on music education happens before each concert.

“The pre-concert experience gives the inside scoop, the backstory of the works about to be performed,” Haskins said. “It is also a chance for attendees to ask questions and get real answers they might have about anything they are about to witness.”

Thanks to a gift from a local charitable trust, the audiovisual offerings in the Orpheum Theatre have become more robust.

The grand concert hall is outfitted with a high-tech multimedia system which includes several HD cameras, projectors and two custom-made retractable projection screens.

The Sioux City Symphony Orchestra began exploring the possibilities opened up by the new technology.

In the spring, a “key cam” projected the pianist’s fingers on the screens flanking the stage, giving the audience a unique perspective of the notes being played.

During a concert featuring guest artist Mason Bates, a series of cameras placed in the percussion section allowed listeners to see what was going on at the back of the

orchestra.

The new system has also been used to show interviews with guest artists, giving a behind-the-scenes experience, complete with commentary, seconds before they perform on stage.

“This high-definition equipment allows us to take the symphony into the

Hot Elvis, anyone?

You don’t have to be a rock star in order to eat like one

EARL HORLYK

ehorlyk@siouxcityjournal.com

Ever wanted to eat like a rock star?

Well, at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, there’s a sandwich that’s fit for a King (of rock and roll) and for a punk prince.

At the newly opened Fuel American Grill, one can chow down on a “Hot Elvis” (a grilled peanut butter, bacon and banana sandwich) as well as on a “Reuben Ramone” (a classic deli sandwich named after the group responsible for such punk anthems as “Rock ‘n’ Roll 28

High School,” “Bonzo Goes to Bitsburg” and “Blitzkrieg Bop”).

These are just the sort of musicallyminded meals that assistant general manager Stefan Huba wanted on the menus of the Hard Rock bars and restaurants.

“The Hard Rock is all about rock and roll,” he said. “I wanted our dishes to reflect the fun and excitement associated with music.”

High-voltage culinary experimentation will certainly be on the plate at Main

+ Abbey, the new 100-seat restaurant where Huba said “Main Street USA meets (London’s) Abbey Road.”

“At Main + Abbey, we’ll be taking something as all-American as buffalo wings and give it a rock-and-roll twist,” he explained. “In our case, we’ll create chicken meatballs that will have the taste and spice of Buffalo wings.”

Likewise, Huba has reconstructed Fish & Chip Tartare, that is made with Tuna Tartar, English cucumbers, avocado, sesame, scallions, Daikon radishes and

flying fish roe. This is a healthier version of the classically British fish and chips.

While the Beatles-influenced Main + Abbey will emphasize cuisine from both sides of the pond, the World Tour Cuisine will cast its net significantly further, according to Chef de Cuisine Rocky Rocha.

“Our buffet will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner foods from Italy, Asia, Latin America and other spots around the globe,” he said. “In addition, we’ll be preparing food from the freshest of local ingredients.”

In addition, Fuel American Grill – home of the aforementioned Hot Elvis and Reuben Ramone – will also have complete breakfast, lunch and dinner menus, said food and beverage manager Chris Colello.

“Fuel is where people can get something fast but tasty,” he said, pointing to such unpretentious items as the Heavy Metal Steel Cut Oatmeal (oatmeal topped with walnuts, cranberries, brown sugar and honey), along with burgers bearing names like the “Shroom, the double-decker Beast of Burger and the Fried Bologna Burger,

Details Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, 111 Third St. Sioux City, 712-224-7625 RESTAURANTS AND BARS Main + Abbey: “Where Main Street meet Abbey Rad” World Tour Buffet: Featuring favorites from around the world) Fuel American Grill: Fast-service grill featuring rock-related sandwiches) The Yards: Whiskey bar serving “rocktails” with distinctive Sioux Cityinspired drinks

which is a sandwich that contains an Angus beef patty, ketchup, mustard and, you guessed it, topped by a piece of fried bologna on a bun.

“Our philosophy was to create a menu of comfort food classics,” Huba said. “When rock star go on the road, their food riders (contracts) contain the foods that remind them of home. Fuel’s menu allows our guests to eat like a rock star in the middle of a world tour.”

Even cocktails (or “Rocktails”) get a creative twist at the Yards, a Hard Rock whiskey bar named after the Sioux City Stockyards.

“We try to create specialty drinks that contain distinctively Sioux City products,”

Huba said, explaining that the “Roxanne! and Rye” is made with Bulleit rye and Palmer’s rock candy while the “Riders of the Storm” is Meyers Dark Rum, a lime wedge and Sioux City Ginger Beer.

“It’s fun trying to get local flavors into both food and drink,” he said. “We love to experiment with flavors.”

A longtime music fan, Huba said he grew up listening to classic rock, as did Colello.

Rochas, on the hand, prefers more contemporary musicians like Matchbox 20 and Daughtry (a recent Hard Rock Sioux City act).

But don’t chefs live a rock and roll lifestyle, anyway?

“I guess it’s cool to be a chef,” Huba said, nodding his head. “After all, everybody needs to eat. So, our food’s pretty cool as well.”

Keeping with that theme, Rocha said a busy restaurant kitchen looks like “controlled chaos” during dinner time. Yet the experienced chef knows it’s really a rock and roll jam session, where every member is performing a harmonious task.

“Cooking is an art,” he said. “We want our food to taste good and look beautiful at the same time.”

This is what Huba wants Hard Rock’s restaurants to become known for.

“You don’t have to a be a rock star in order to eat like one,” he said with a grin.

Junior World Cup sets stage for Musketeers season ‘Iowa Ambassadors’ return from Russia with Bronze Medal

BY TIM GALLAGHER

tgallagher@siouxcityjournal.com

SIOUX CITY | The Sioux City Musketeers head into the 2014-15 season on a high. That happens when Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad makes you official “Ambassadors of Iowa.”

It happens when you spend 15 days together playing seven games in Junior World Cup action halfway around the world, playing in a place few players imagined they would.

In Russia.

The Musketeers didn’t disappoint in their first venture to the Junior World Cup, closing out the competition with a 4-3 victory over Dynamo Shinnik of Belarus in the Bronze Medal contest.

“It wasn’t gold, but we were still excited to bring back a Bronze Medal to Sioux City,” said Jay Varady, the second-year head coach of the Musketeers.

Branstad even unveiled Jay Varady the jerseys the Musketeers sported in Junior World Cup play. The team partnered with Tyson Foods for the trip. Tyson, one of Sioux City’s largest employers, is a worldwide producer of meat and poultry products.

The special jerseys featured Tyson logos on uniform tops and pants. Those jerseys will be worn by the Musketeers in the team’s United States Hockey League regular-season home opener versus Sioux Falls at the Tyson Events Center on Oct. 4.

Following the game, those special jerseys will be auctioned off.

The memories of this summer, however, won’t soon vanish for Varady, 36, who coached for the first time in Russia. While most USHL coaches have a few weeks and three games of preseason action to prepare, Varady had 10 games and more than two weeks of travel with his squad.

Good thing, he noted, as only six of the Musketeers 23 players off last year’s playoff team return to the ice. The team reported

to fall camp on Sept. 12. Sioux City’s Fall Classic takes place in town on Sept. 19-20.

The puck falls for the first time in regularseason action on Sept. 26 in Omaha.

“As a coach and a manager, you always want a big trip in the beginning of the season,” Varady said. “A ‘big’ trip in the USHL might involve spending three nights together in a motel, which gives you time to bond. We fast-forward that by spending 15 nights together in another country.”

For Varady, the play he’ll likely remember most from the Junior World Cup was an overtime shot by Sam Kurker that ripped past the Belarus goaltender to give Sioux City a 4-3 triumph in the Bronze Medal contest.

The Junior World Cup was held Aug. 22-30 in Ufa, Russia. The tournament, sanctioned by the International Ice Hockey Federation, is said to be the most prestigious international club championship in 36

Musketeers clubhouse inside the Tyson Events Center. It’s likely the envy of most USHL clubs.

“The facility we have is a fantastic place to play junior hockey,” says Varady, who remembers visiting the old Municipal Auditorium as a player for Dubuque in the USHL nearly two decades ago. “It’s a perfect size, not a monstrosity where there’s no atmosphere. In a lot of ways, for me and the players, this is where we live during the season. Part of being a good program is having a facility where the players feel comfortable and want to be here.”

Sioux City’s host families for these players, many of whom are several states from home, play important roles as well. And, Varady has seen those families continue to offer what they can to make sure a player’s home-away-from-home is just so.

“We have some host families who have had players in their homes for 10 to 15 years, if not longer,” Varady says. “They 38

really give our guys the ability to grow away from the rink.”

Finally, adoring crowds continue to shower their support on a team that now enjoys its fourth decade of play in the Woodbury County seat. An average of 2,800 fans turned out last year to support

a team that reached the post-season’s second round.

“When you play in that building and we score and the lights go out, it’s just a great environment,” Varady says. “It’s great to hear that loyal fan base.”
