Now’s the time to start planning that remodel

Keep your wife in hot water, she’ll love you for it!322 West 7th Street | Sioux City, IA 51103 | 712-258-3388 | www.foulkbros.net

It is nearly impossible to engage some-one in conversation in Siouxland these days without discussing the predicament that is unfolding along the Missouri River. Whether you live near the banks of the Missouri or not, you will be impacted by the develop-ments associated with the cresting of the Mighty Mo. Of course, some are more di-rectly impacted than others, but, be assured, we are all in this together.

Most of us first took note of this impending crisis over the Memorial Day weekend. For me, the first sign that something was a bit out of the ordinary was on Thursday, May 26, when my seven-year-old son and I ar-rived for his 6 p.m. soccer game at the Jeff Dible Soccer Complex in South Sioux City. There was a small amount of water lapping at the very edge of the complex and I thought nothing of it. Nevertheless, the evening’s games were cancelled.

The following night, on Friday, May 27, I received a less than urgent phone call from a friend in Dakota Dunes requesting some help to move some personal property out of her basement. As we began to move these items on Saturday morning, there were a few golf-ers on the Dunes golf course and some folks were rather routinely mowing their lawns. At that time nobody seemed too terribly excited and my friend turned to me and said, “Do you think I am overreacting?”

By the end of the day Saturday, I was helping one family in the Dunes stack some sandbags around their home overlooking the river and another friend move a few small heirlooms from his residence.

By Sunday morning, however, it was as if someone had activated an alarm and Dakota Dunes immediately came to life with trucks, trailers, volunteers, and a panic had set in as people hurriedly packed up and prepared to relocate.

Remarkably, the citizens in the Dunes couldn’t necessarily count on their neigh-bors. Not because they wouldn’t help, they couldn’t help, because everyone was mov-ing out at once! One person compared it to kicking an ant hill and watching the ants launch into hyper-drive. Watching the ac-tivity at the Dunes was a little like that. The clothes and furniture came out fairly eas-ily, the piano however, was a different story. These aren’t professional movers these are “regular Joes.” These are the guys you bowl or play softball with, or maybe the guy that delivered your last baby. What do they know about moving and storing a piano? Nothing! But they did it because that’s what we do and that’s who we are.

Entire families wanted to help; kids, mom and dad, even grandma and grandpa pitched in to assist. We were all working together and just as we cut the wires and pulled the

microwave oven and range out of the kitchen wall, someone was kind enough to drop off some pop, beer, and a couple of pizzas.

For the better part of a week, most of Siouxland was engaged in helping a neigh-bor move from one of several neighbor-hoods in South Dakota or Nebraska. Later, hundreds and then thousands of volun-teers started filling the sandbags needed to protect homes, businesses, and critical

infrastructure. At the YMCA, a 69-year-old man from Homer helped seal the sandbags with metal clips. At Dakota Valley a legion of the nicest folks you’d ever want to meet from Orange City filled and tied the bags alongside little kids from Sioux City. All the while, volunteers from all over filled, folded, and stacked sandbags on pallets at the Long

The future of light bulbs is the LED, the light-emitting diode bulb.

“These are getting better and better all the time. The LED, that’s the future. The technol-ogy’s changing. That’s where ev-erything’s headed. They’re getting better all the time,” says Harlan Lessman, owner of Lessman’s Lighting Center in Sioux City.

Yet he admitted that while the LED is the best available, its higher cost makes it an unlikely contender to soon replace the compact fluo-rescent light (CFL) bulbs, those squiggly energy savers that have been selected by federal regulators to replace the popular but energy-deficient incandescent light bulbs that many Americans have already begun hoarding.

Over the past few months, the federal law calling for better light-ing efficiency starting in 2012 has

brought many politicians to the defense of the old bulbs.

“Instead of a leaner, smarter gov-ernment, we bought a bureaucracy

that now tells us which light bulbs to buy,” said Minnesota Rep. Mi-chele Bachmann in her Tea Party response to the president’s State of

the Union. Backing up her words, Bachmann is the author of the Light Bulb Freedom of Choice Act, which would repeal the federal requirement that the typical 100-watt bulb become 25 percent more energy efficient by 2012.

The changes will, by law, be phased in. They will affect 100-watt bulbs on Jan 1, 2012, 75-watt bulbs a year later, and 60-and 40-watt bulbs on Jan. 1, 2014.

People aren’t exactly flocking to stores yet to buy up the squigglies. CFL sales, in fact, peaked in 2007.

Lessman, who for aesthetic reasons personally prefers the in-candescents to the CFLs, said one reason people complain about the squigglies is that they buy the “bottom-end bulbs” found at many big box stores. “Not many of them come to a place like us or any of the other wholesalers in town and buy the better bulbs. There’s always the good ones, and there’s

the cheap ones,” he said.Lessman said a neighbor put

some CFLs in a ceiling fan over the dining room and the look was less than pleasing.

But if you want to save energy, CFL is the way to go, he said. And though they may cost more, they last a lot longer than the incandes-cents. And last but not least, he ob-served, the most recent CFLs burn brighter faster than they did when they were first introduced.

“They save electricity because we have 13-watters in these things, which is the equivalent of a 60-watt bulb. Then we have a 20-watt that’s equivalent to a 100-watt bulb. So yeah, you’re definitely saving energy, no ifs, ands or buts about it. And that’s what the gov-ernment is trying to do. They’re trying to keep the power down so that they don’t have to build power

Light bulbs ‘getting better all the time’

Have you ever felt a dull, achy, or throb-bing pain coming from your shoulder and arm? Have you ever felt a sharp or stabbing pain when reaching above your head, across the front of your body or behind your back? If you said “yes” to one or both of these questions, you may have inflammation of the tendonsin your rotator cuff tendonsor bicep tendon of your shoulder, also known as tendonitis.

WHAT IS TENDONITIS?Simply put, it’s pain and inflammation

of a tendon. You have over 1,200 tendons in your body, and tendons attach muscle to bone. Common posture and work habits may aggravate these shoulder tendons in-cluding awkward postures like reaching for your computer mouse, lifting items above shoulder level, driving your car with only one hand on the steering wheel and sleeping on your sides.

Tendonitis pain can be common in the shoulder, elbow, wrist, thumb, knee, Achil-les and foot.

PREVENTION AND TREATMENTIce massage is the best self-care technique

for preventing and treating tendonitis pain. I recommend performing ice massage 2 to 4 times a day, with the end of the workday being one of the most important times of the day to perform the technique. Other times may include before work, at lunch or mid-shift or before bed if the pain and inflam-mation is waking you up at night.

Ice massage can be performed in two ways. You can fill a Styrofoam cup with water and

put this into the freezer. Once it’s frozen, tear the top edges off the cup and rub ice directly over the area for 2 to 4 minutes until the body part is numb. Or, you may also hold an ice cube directly from the freezer on the im-pacted area and perform this same technique until that body part feels number.

Typically, after three to seven days of per-forming ice massage, you should notice 75% or better improvement with ease in range of motion, improved daily activities at work, home and play and a significant reduction of pain with improved restful sleep too.

Next month, we’ll discuss the power of reversing and treating carpal tunnel syn-drome, wrist tendonitis and tennis elbow by performing the snakebite technique. It may bring back memories of childhood and the fun of giving your friend a “snakebite.”

“WE ARE WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY”

On April 7, the American Institute of Architects, Iowa Chapter hosted the AIA Iowa annual spring meeting, “Morph: Transforming the Profession” at the Gateway Hotel & Conference Center in Ames.

Keynote speakers, ar-chitects and other design professionals presented in-formation and conducted workshops highlighting how attendees can lead and adapt to changing times in the in-dustry and in the economy.

“While these times are wrought with challenges, we believe they are also filled with opportunities,” said spring meeting chair Todd

Moss, who is president and CEO of Cannon Moss Bryg-ger Architects in Sioux City. “Professionals that attend-ed the spring meeting took away innovative ideas that will allow them to be the leaders of change.”

During the convention, Nathan Kalaher, a partner with PLaN Architecture in Sioux City; served on a

multigenerational panel discussion focusing on the changes in architectural practice from the 1960s to the present. Rob Smith of Architects Smith Metzger in Des Moines, was the mod-erator of the panel, which also included Paul Mankins of Substance in Des Moines; and Geoffrey Grimes, re-tired but most recently with Struxture Architects P.L.C. in Waterloo.

AIA Iowa has 824 members statewide.

Scores of cardboard boxes arrive at Southern Hills Mall each week, filled with clothing, shoes, books, food, kitchen ware, sporting goods and other merchandise. All those empty contain-ers once wound up with the rest of the trash in the landfill.

No longer. The mall now provides its tenants with separate outdoor com-pactors for corrugated cardboard, which is recycled.

“The retailers get billed less if they have more recyclable waste,” said Kathy Jurgens, the mall’s property manager.

The mall management office itself not only recycles its own cardboard, paper and alumnium, but also works to reduce waste and conserve natu-ral resources. Turning off the color function, office staff print documents only in black and white, and avoid us-ing paper whenever possible. Staff are encouraged to read documents on their computers.

“Instead of printing out memos and passing them around to everybody, it’s been done by email,” Jurgens said.

Recycling is one of a number of “green” initiatives the Sioux City mall has adopted in recent years. Its Cal-ifornia-based owner, Macerich, one of the nation’s leading shopping cen-ter owners, developers and operators, has sharply focused on sustainability, conserving resources while simulta-neously supporting its business goals.

Southern Hills Mall has made major changes in how it uses energy. Hal-logen lights have been replaced with bulbs that are not only more energy efficient but also give off a less harsh glow.

Depending on the season and weath-er conditions, mall officials also turn off lights during much of the daytime, relying instead on natural sunlight streaming through the skylights and other windows.

The environmentally-friendly prac-tices have cut annual energy costs by about 20 percent, she said.

A major project in the works offers

the potential for additional savings. The mall plans to install a new energy management system, or EMS, which would automate the lighting and

heating and cooling systems, instead of staff having to manually flip light switches and adjust each thermostat.

Jurgens said the new EMS, which will

Jurgens moves into new role at mall

Kathy Jurgens recently took over as property manager for the Southern Hills Mall. She succeeds Bill Haase, who retired April 29 after nearly 29 years managing the mall, which opened in 1980 at Ser-geant Road and South Lakeport Street.

Jurgens previously served as the assistant property manager at The Empire Mall in Sioux Falls for 10 years. Like the Empire, Southern Hills Mall is owned by the Macerich Co.

She began her shopping center career in 1992 at The Empire as a part-time accountant. During her career, she stepped in to serve as the acting prop-erty manager of other Macerich shopping centers, including ShoppingTown Mall in Dewitt, N.Y., and Green Tree Mall in Clarksville, Ind.

A graduate of the University of Sioux Falls, Jurgens and her husband, Brian, reside on an acreage near Parker, S.D., where Brian farms and runs a seed corn business. The couple have two grown children.

To cut down on the number of days she makes the 1 1/2-hour commute to the mall, Kathy Jurgens has taken an apartment in Sioux City.

Jurgens said she looks forward to becoming more active in the local business community.

During the first few weeks in Sioux City, she has watched in amazement as releases on the Missouri River rise to record levels, threatening hundreds of local homes and businesses.

“It’s heartbreaking for me, as I drive in every day and see the water change,” she said. “We’re very concerned for these folks.”

Other environmentally-friendly initiatives include putting automatic flushing toilets in the public restrooms and moving nine planters outdoors, in front of the mall entrances. Beautiful plants that will change with the sea-sons are now growing inside the plant-ers, which were repainted a terra cotta color.

This winter, small evergreens will be planted in them, she said.

Sometimes we need an incentive to explore. That’s what Free First Fridays is all about at the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science.

Mary Heiberger made the drive from Beresford recently so her boys, nine-year-old Jackson and six-year-old Mason, could get their hands on the science exhibits during an affordable, fun evening.

SDN Communications provides the broadband equipment and services to make the Pavilion work. But it also gives back by assuring the Pavilion is open to all. Thanks to SDN and others, Pavilion doors open for free on the first Friday evening of each month. Last year more than 8,000 people experienced it.

“They love it. Absolutely love it. They could spend hours here—and they’re learning at the same time,” Heiberger said.

Why does SDN do it? Well, we hope the exploring inspires Jackson, Mason and others to consider a technical career someday… maybe even at SDN.

Cannon Moss Brygger Architects’ new downtown Sioux City offices were recently featured in the Iowan Maga-zine and The Iowa, American Institute of Architect’s annual advertising sup-plement. It also was in a recent issue of Iowa Architect.

The modern minimalist space was the first space built and occupied in the United Center, a mixed use con-dominium with residential space on the upper three levels and commercial space on the lower three levels.

Cannon Moss Brygger’s second-floor space has contemporary minimalist features set against the historical brick and wood structure of the 105-year-old warehouse.

The space is in the process of com-pleting its LEED certification, or Lead-ership in Energy Efficiency and Envi-ronmental Design.

LEED is an internationally recog-nized green building certification sys-tem, providing third-party verifica-tion that a building or community was designed and built using strategies intended to improve performance in metrics such as energy savings, water

efficiency, carbon emissions reduction, improved indoor environmental qual-ity, and stewardship of resources and sensitivity to their impacts.

Developed by the U.S. Green Build-ing Council, LEED aims to give building

owners and operators a concise frame-work for identifying and implementing practical and measurable green build-ing design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

LU N C H FE AT U R E S

The recent and prolonged flooding of the Missouri River is affecting many in the Siouxland area. Long

hours of moving/sandbag-ging, emotional and physi-cal exhaustion and dealing with losses from damaged

property are taking their toll. Even those whose homes are not directly affected by the flooding may experience

additional stress due to a variety of factors including changes at their place of em-ployment and/or transpor-tation delays and detours.

Disaster-related stress can affect people in a variety of ways. Physical reactions in-clude changes in appetite, digestive problems, diffi-culty sleeping, fatigue, head-aches, other aches and pains, allergies, sinus problems and colds and flu.

A disaster such as a major flood can also have emo-tional consequences. This can include irritability, anger, depression, apathy, suspi-ciousness, crying for no ap-parent reason, and frustra-tion. Many also experience feelings of powerlessness, moodiness, anxiety about the unknown/future, guilt and isolation from friends and family.

Children are especially vulnerable to disaster-re-lated stress. Some behaviors parents and childcare pro-viders may notice include clinginess, a reluctance by the child to go to bed, night-mares, crying, a refusal to leave home and/or an in-ability to concentrate.

Fortunately, numerous coping tips and strategies

are effective in helping man-age disaster-related stress symptoms. First and fore-most, take time to sleep or rest.

Being in a routine is com-forting to mind and body. Strive to maintain routine with meals and rest, espe-cially with children.

Spending time with oth-ers and talking about feelings is helpful. Lending a hand to others and periodically checking in with friends and family helps create a healthy sense of community.

If significant signs of emo-tional distress or depres-sion are present in a family member or friend, strongly encourage an appointment with a mental health pro-fessional. It is also important to seek help with symptoms worsen over time, or per-sist at a high level for over a month. Other life circum-stances can intensify stress

(loss of a loved one, divorce, loss of a job) as well.

Once clean up and recov-ery begins, it is important to set priorities. Pacing oneself is key to preventing physical or mental exhaustion.

Lines/Tyson Events Center Parking lot.Mid-week, when the temperature

spiked at around 100 degrees and the wind gusted at 35 mph, I watched in-defatigable people fill sandbags as the wind blew and the sand stuck to their sweaty faces and forearms. I saw truck drivers by the hundreds, operating on virtually no sleep, rush up and down Interstate-29 to deliver loads of dirt for the construction of emergency le-vees. I saw civic and political leaders in Sioux City send sandbags to their neighbors in Nebraska and South Da-kota. I saw companies donating food, trailers, supplies, and even give their

employees paid time off to go help their co-workers and friends.

I saw the leadership of Dakota Dunes driving around their community to make sure their residents had the in-formation they needed and the help they required to prepare for what many feared might become a “worst case sce-nario.”

I saw Pat Boeshart, the president of LiteForm Technologies, and his son, Jim, explain to a United States Senator how committed they are to South Sioux City and why they are donating all of their time and materials to build a sec-ondary levee to protect the community

they love.Perhaps most importantly, I saw my

hometown leap into action and self-lessly help one another when they were needed most. With my own eyes, I saw some of the finest people in the world treat others as they would hope to be treated in their hour of need.

When I really looked closely however, I saw what everyone else saw; that 2011 will be a very challenging summer, but I also saw that this may very well be our finest hour.

plants.“Imagine all the light bulbs

across the country. And if you can cut it to a fourth, that’s 75 percent less energy

you’re going to have to burn in light consumption.”

Some CFLs are encased in glass to look more like the incandescents they are re-placing.

But the thing to look for

when buying a CFL is the Kelvin number, Lessman said.

The lower-numbered bulbs, 3,000 Kelvin, are yel-lowish. The 4,100 is pretty much what everybody buys

“for what they call the cool, white look,” he said. It is a nice look for offices. Hos-pitals and banks, however, prefer the 3,500s which of-fer a softer, less harsh light, he noted.
