Bruguier’s Cabin 1201 Riverside Blvd., Sioux City

In 1933, an abandoned house was about to be demolished so that the lumber could be used for a boys camp. As workers removed the siding from the house, they discovered that the house was originally a log cabin. 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.

he opening of the first children’s museum in Siouxland is about two months away.

Bob Fitch, the museum’s executive director, said the LaunchPAD Children’s Museum is on schedule to open Feb. 11 in downtown Sioux City.

PAD stands for “Play and Discover,” which signifies the facility’s creative educational opportunities for youths.

The museum, at 623 Pearl St., will feature hands-on and other interactive exhibits that allow children to both play and learn about science, technology, engineering and math.

Hours will be from 10:40 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Exhibits at the $6.9 million facility will focus on agricultural education, renewable energy and consumer science for ages 6 months to 10 years.

Valerie Petersen, the museum’s outreach director, said the exhibits are regionally influenced by communities neighboring the Missouri River.

“A lot of times kids don’t realize learning can be fun,” Petersen said. “We want their experience at LaunchPAD to be fun and educational.”

There’s a common theme, too – helping kids learn where their food comes from.

Most of the exhibits were influenced by the community including members of the Sioux City and South Sioux City school districts.

This fall, construction workers were finalizing the inside of the building while awaiting a 15- by 15-foot interactive grain bin exhibit from England. The grain bin was installed in December.

Most of the exhibits came from Omahabased Heartland Scenic Studio. Other exhibits will include a theater stage and a makeshift farmers market.

The museum was the result of more than a decade of planning to build an educational and creative hub for Siouxland children. It was the idea of four women who

Fitch said the museum would work with families with financial needs. Officials are finalizing plans to provide free or discounted admission to qualifying families.

Family memberships include unlimited

visits to the museum for one year for up to two adults who live at the same address and all dependent children under age 18 residing in the same household.

Members have the option to purchase an additional member card for $20, which can be used by another adult – such as a grandparent or nanny – when they accompany the family’s children to the museum.

There also will be members-only hours weekly and at other times. Other membership perks include discounts on rental of meeting rooms for birthday parties and other events. Petersen said the rooms also can be booked for weddings or family reunions.

Members also will receive half-price admission to more than 200 participating children’s museums across the country.

From the Store Window to the Gallery: The Legacy of T.S. Martin

Through January 31 Sioux City Art Center, 225 Nebraska St. This exhibition honors the legacy of T.S. Martin, the visionary founder of Sioux City’s trendsetting department store, T.S. Martin Company. His granddaughter, Margaret Ann Martin Everist, later became a vital force behind the construction of the Sioux City Art Center building. She, her husband, Hubert, and her children have donated more than 50 artworks to the Art Center’s permanent collection. This exhibition presents a selection of 10 of these artworks and places them within imaginary store windows—the form of display that T.S. Martin’s store used so beautifully and effectively to highlight its offerings. The Art Center is working with Sioux City interior design firms to showcase these artworks in unique, creative settings.

he curtain will rise on the awardwinning jukebox musical “Jersey Boys” March 29 at the Orpheum Theatre.

“Jersey Boys” is the first show to be presented multiple nights at the Orpheum in several years. The theatre booked seven shows of Monty Python’s “Spamalot” in

20 visitsiouxcity.org

December 2008.

Erika Newton, Sioux City’s events and facilities executive director, said theater-goers have been requesting the musical, which was only playing larger Newton markets, for years.

“It’s a really popular show,” she said. “It was one that we had a

lot of interest in locally.”

The musical, which opened on Broadway in 2005, won four Tony Awards in 2006 including Best Musical. It tells the story of Frankie Valli and the pop/rock band The Four Seasons known for hits “Big Girls Don’t Cry” and “Walk Like a Man.” “They just started taking a look at smaller runs,” Newton said of “Jersey Boys.” “A lot of times when these big shows come

out they’ll only go to markets that will take a whole month’s worth of performances at a time.”

The musical is now seeking week-andhalf or week-long performances in smaller markets. Newton said the Orpheum’s schedule was clear for the musical to run March 29 through April 3. Eight shows will be presented including afternoon and evening performances on April 2 and 3.

Newton said single-ticket sales are steady across the board. She said the Orpheum has also seen an increase in full season subscriptions this year, which she credits in part to the addition of “Jersey Boys.”

“I think it’s going to be successful at the end of the day,” she said.

Although weekend performances are popular, Newton predicts the musical’s opening night, a Tuesday, will be the first to sell out, and not just because it’s the show subscribers will be attending.

“You kind of feel like you’re getting something special because you’re seeing that first night. You can talk about it before anyone else can see it or has the opportunity to see it,” she said.

Weeknight tickets range from $32.50 to $92.50, while weekend tickets are $37.50 to $97.50. Discounted prices, Newton said, are available for groups of 10 or more people.

Newton said she has read reviews of the musical and watched the 2014 “Jersey Boys” movie directed by Clint Eastwood, but she’s never seen the musical.

“I’ve heard it’s really an excellent, fun time,” she said. “I don’t think the movie really holds a candle to the live version of it on stage. The music, I think, is what really gets people – it’s the music everybody knows.”

vacation in Orlando and she knew about the salon and its services because she had been there before they left. Beam got the Berlander, a hairstyle with lots of volume and curl named after the site’s bygone proprietor, Berland’s Shoe Store.

Beam didn’t have to worry about her hair for the week. She could just relax and have fun.

“It was wonderful,” she said. “I have thick, heavy hair and it lasted four days in the Florida heat and humidity, which is phenomenal.”

Kate Ro, 27, opened Capelli Blowout Bar in October.

A menu outlines eight signature styles – most of which are named after Sioux City landmarks like the Braunger, a look with “va-va-volume,” and the Palmer, a sleek style for short hair. Booking a regular blowout includes a wash, dry and style for $35. The whole process usually takes 4560 minutes.

“The big thing we want people to understand is that you’re not cheating on your hairstylist,” Ro said. “We’re not cutting your hair. We’re not coloring it. We’re only styling it.”

Blowout bars have been popping up nationwide.

Part of a growing trend, Blo, a franchise that began in Vancouver in 2007, now has 50 locations across four countries, and Drybar, a California-based chain of salons started in 2010, boasts of 47 locations with 10 more set to open soon.

A Blo Blow Dry Bar opened in Des Moines, Iowa, last year, becoming an oddity in the bunch. All other U.S. locations – 31 and counting – have been established in coastal states.

In a way, blowout bars are a throwback to old-fashioned beauty salons, where women would make standing appointments to have their hair wrapped in curlers and set for the week. Except here, rollers have been replaced by blow dryers, round brushes and curling irons.

While Ro encourages clients to make blowouts part of their weekly routine, most of them are coming in to get ready for special occasions from weddings to family portraits. She also promotes it as a place to host events and parties – whether that’s a bridal shower, birthday or girls’ night out.

Deb Speckmann, owner of What Women Want Boutique, just a couple of doors down on Fourth Street, stopped in on a Friday afternoon to get a ’60s-style hairdo for a friend’s 60th birthday. She got big hair, teased at the crown to reach new heights. A thick orange headband completed the look.

She’s been in before. At another appointment, she got the “Kate Ro” treatment, a hairstyle with loose beachy curls named after the owner. Her usual style is pretty pin-straight.

She decided to try something different before leaving for a business trip. She didn’t think the curls would hold, but they did. She went three full days without washing her hair and didn’t have to spend much time fixing her hair each morning.

“I loved my hair when they did it,” Speckmann said. “I’m going to start wearing my hair curly now just because of what they did.”

Ro has been surprised to see out-oftown travelers coming to Capelli Blowout Bar for hair appointments, too.

They can sit back and enjoy a glass of wine while they’re pampered in a salon that’s awash with nostalgia for Ro’s Italian and Sicilian roots. Capelli, after all, means hair in Italian.

Large black-and-white wedding portraits of her great-grandparents hang above a gilded Italian sofa in the entryway.

On the opposite wall, there’s a photo of the one-room schoolhouse her “nonna,” or grandma, attended as a girl.

The Bellegante54 Lounge in the back is named after the speakeasy opened in Centerville, Iowa, by her great, great-grandfather, Bortolo Bellegante. The man cave is furnished with leather sofas and flat screen TVs, tuned in to sports channels.

Capelli Blowout Bar doesn’t just offer a service. It’s an experience. official 2016 visitors guide

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.

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.

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 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 200foot tower. There, visitors could take in a magnificent view of the city and the surrounding three states.

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

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.

Lifelong cowboy gets a kick out of rodeo trade TIM GALLAGHER

tgallagher@siouxcityjournal.com‌

SIOUX CITY | Marty Barnes takes a break from a meeting in Las Vegas to talk about his left thumb. He nearly lost that important digit this fall at the Iowa High School Rodeo in Moville.

The culprit? Fun House, a 1,200-pound bull said to be the toughest of the lot at Barnes PRCA Rodeo Company, the business Barnes’ parents established more than a half-century ago.

Marty Barnes, 54, helps run the business.

He’ll bring 40 bulls per night to the Tyson

Events Center on Jan. 22 and Jan. 23 as the Rawhide Bull Riding Challenge returns to Sioux City.

“I’ve had concussions and I’ve broke both ankles and a few ribs,” says Barnes, a regular at the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) National Rodeo in Las Vegas, where the Barnes stock name has been a fixture for 57 years. “It’s not if you get hurt, but when and how bad.”

The injury last fall was bad; and it could have been worse. Barnes was loading Fun House from a trailer on a Sunday morning when the ornery bull caught his left hand

and just about ripped off the thumb.

“It took all the meat around the left thumb, I kind of let out a squeal when it happened,” he said.

It took 35 stitches to keep the injured thumb in place. Weeks later, there is still numbness around that area.

“I was working the bulls and I made a mistake,” Barnes said, not poking fingers – or thumbs, in this case – at Fun House.

Bulls like Fun House, after all, put bread on the Barnes table. They have since Bob Barnes founded this enterprise near Peterson, Iowa, in 1950. Bob and wife Donita

Bulls are shown at Barnes PRCA Rodeo Ranch in Peterson, Iowa.

Marty Barnes and staff members will bring 40 bulls to the rodeo at the Tyson Events Center on Jan. 22-23.

The Marty Barnes family is all smiles when it comes to enjoying the ride that is a rodeo life. Shown here are Kendall, Mary, Mason, Micah and Marty.

and their children traveled the country for years, searching for rodeo stock to raise and provide for shows from coast to coast.

Marty Barnes was 14 when his parents went one direction and sent him another to supervise his first big show. He’s been at it ever since, now entering his 40th year in a trade he’s enjoyed from chute to finish.

“I love the facility in Sioux City,” says Barnes, who admits being close to home entails a little more work, but a little better sleep. “Being there means we’ll transport bulls back and forth each night, rather than keeping them there as we would at most shows.”

While that puts Barnes on the road between Sioux City and rural Peterson, it means he’ll count sheep in his own bed each night.

“Being in the Tyson Events Center gives you the feeling like you’re outside, even though you’re inside,” he says, an important detail if late January temperatures plummet.

“If you get a little cabin fever, this would be the place to be,” he adds.

Competitors from all over will test their strength, balance and moxie against the beasts Barnes provides. In that sense, Barnes is like a coach or a manager, knowing the personalities the members of his “team” develop throughout the rodeo season.

“We get bulls in all stages,” says Barnes, a member of the Iowa State University rodeo team when he studied general agriculture there from the fall of 1979 to the spring of

1984. “We raise bulls and we don’t buck them until they’re two-and-a-half to three years old.

“We do get to know their tendencies, like

whether they’re more inclined to spin left or right,” he adds.

As a bull gains experience in the ring, he can feel a rider’s weight shift. It might cause the bull to turn a different direction.

Each bull brought to Sioux City will enter the ring but once each night. Some bulls work best when ridden frequently, while others may be best suited when having a week-long break between rides.

These beasts, sometimes the stars of the show, weigh 1,500 to 2,000 pounds. As for their dietary needs, Barnes says they can eat just about anything, and lots of it.

“We have ground hay, cracked corn, distillers grain and silage, all of which can change with the season,” Barnes says.

They don’t eat cowboys. They buck them, they snort at them and, sometimes, they run right through them, leaving a die-hard rodeo pro like Marty Barnes in stitches. Literally.

Sioux City eateries with all-day

breakfasts to flip over EARL HORLYK

ehorlyk@siouxcityjournal.com‌

Bill Thompson may not be ready for the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team but chances are great that even a Gold Medal gymnast would envy his flip.

“The flip is very important,” the veteran cook said while making his Ultimate Omelet. “That’s how it stays fluffy.”

Thompson ought to know. He has been making spectacularly fluffy omelets for family and friends in his native Carson, Calif., by the time he turned 10.

Suffice it to say, the egg dish is featured prominently on the menu of Madonna Rose Cafe, a family style restaurant he opened at 4006 Morningside Ave., in May 2015.

“Even though we have a large lunch and dinner selection, our customers can have breakfast any time they want,” Thompson said.

Waffles that rule This is also the case at the Garden Cafe, where owner George Litras makes his monster waffles all day, every day.

“Each waffle takes 90 seconds to make,” Litras said, inside his 1322 Jackson St., cafe kitchen. “It always comes comes out perfectly.”

What’s the Garden Cafe’s secret ingredient for wonderful waffles? A batter that contains a handful of finely chopped walnuts.

No matter how old you are, people like waffles,” Litras said. “They’re just good to eat.”

That’s especially true when he tops his hot-off-the-griddle waffles with generous amounts of fresh strawberries and large dollops of whipped cream.

“It’s like eating dessert for breakfast,” Litras noted, showing off his handiwork.

“Now, who wouldn’t want to eat this?’

A restaurateur for more than 45 years, Litras purchased The Garden Cafe more than two years ago.

“I’ve managed restaurants in the past, but this is the one that I wanted to own,” he said proudly. “So far, it’s been wonderful.”

36 visitsiouxcity.org

Tim Hynds, Sioux City Journal

Chef Jose Perez makes a waffle inside the kitchen of The Garden Cafe.

Family recipes abound Like Litras, Thompson is a longtime restaurant manager.

“I spent more than 15 years working for nearly 30 different Perkins Restaurants & Bakery franchises,” he explained. “ “I spent nearly the same amount of time working for independently-owned restaurants.”

Through that time, Thompson has perfected a “breakfast-all-day-long” philosophy.

“Who says you can’t have bacon and eggs for dinner or a burger in the morning?” he asked. “We’re here to accommodate our customers.”

Accommodating diners comes naturally for Thompson. He learned how to cook from his dad, Henry Thompson, a former

U.S. Navy chef, and all about hospitality from his mom, Madonna Rose Thompson, the namesake for the restaurant.

“Both of my parents were originally from Sioux City,” Thompson said. “I knew

Containing ham, bacon, sausage, a garden mix of veggies and plenty of gooey cheese, the Ultimate Omelet is one of Madonna Rose Cafe’s most popular breakfast items.

The secret to The Garden Cafe’s strawberry and whipped creamtopped waffle is a handful of finely chopped walnuts added to the batter.

if I’d ever open my own place, it had to be named after my mom.”

Family photos of Madonna Rose and the rest of the Thompson family dominate the cafe’s small dining room. One of her original afghan blankets adorns a bench by the hostess station.

Also, Thompson said many of the menu items come from his family. For instance, the Donnie Girl tavern is made using Madonna Rose’s original recipe for loosemeats, while the Frisco Melt (a patty melt served on sourdough bread) speaks to his own California upbringing.

“We aren’t fancy,” Thompson admitted.

“But we serve homemade food using the freshest of ingredients.”

Family is also important to Litras. Except he isn’t originally from Sioux City. The 70-year-old is from Greece.

That might explain such novel meals as Mediterranean Spaghetti (a baked pasta dish served by the slice) and Mediterranean Lasagna (an Italian reinterpretation on pastichio) turning up on The Garden Cafe’s menu.

“You’ve got to stay true to your roots,”

Litras said with a smile.

It also helps that The Garden Cafe is the birthplace for a historic sandwich A place in food history Back in 1924, Ye Olde Tavern sat on the site of Litras’ midtown restaurant.

According to food historians, Ye Olde Tavern is credited with the 1924 creation of the loosemeat sandwich – crumbly ground

beef mixed with sauteed onions and served on a bun.

“Food Network Magazine has named our Ye Olde Tavern as being the best sandwich in Iowa a few years ago,” Litras noted. “Esquire Magazine also did a nice write-up in 2014.”

“You know what, our tavern will always be on our menu,” he said. “It’s very popular.”

But can you get it for breakfast, lunch or dinner?

“Why not?” Litras said. “If you like it, we’ll make it for you.”

Which is also true for Madonna Rose Cafe’s homespun Midwestern favorites.

“We’re here for our customers,” Thompson said. “When you stop by, you’re our family.”
