Symphony gears up for ‘out of this world’ season DOLLY A. BUTZ

dbutz@siouxcityjournal.com‌

T

he Sioux City Symphony Orchestra’s 2018-2019 season, which features seven concerts, will be “out of this world,” according to Travis Morgan, the orchestra’s chief executive officer.

See Star Wars like never before Sept. 29 and 30, when the symphony, under the direction of Ryan Haskins, performs the score from the 1977 film, “Star Wars: A New Hope,” as the movie plays on the big screen at the Orpheum Theatre. Before the concert, attendees will have the opportunity to snap photos with people dressed up as characters from the movie. Morgan said the “movie-grade” costumes were approved by Lucasfilm.

18 visitsiouxcity.org

“You’re getting the ultimate Star Wars experience because you’re seeing the movie, but you have a live music score for it. We’re the first to do it in this area,” Morgan said. “This is a chance for us to expand, because if you’re 5 or 85, you probably like Star Wars or you have some sort of link to it or tie to it. This is a chance to get the non-typical symphony-goer in that seat to show them what we have.”

The musical works of composers Ludwig Van Beethoven and Claude Debussy (100 years have passed since his death) will be celebrated Oct. 27 in “Debussy meets Beethoven” featuring Jonathan Biss. Biss is described as one of the most prolific young Beethoven interpreters of today.

Before the Oct. 27 concert, theater-goers can take spooky sights and sounds of the

Second Annual Haunted Orpheum, which runs from Oct. 26 to Oct. 28. The creepy, goosebump-inducing experience is sure to send a shiver down most spine. As attendees walk through the Orpheum, which will be decorated to resemble a haunted theater, they’ll meet actors dressed in ghoulish costumes.

The SCSO was one of only four orchestra’s in the United States to land Second City, a show that features sketch comedy and classical music, according to Morgan, who said audience members will be pulled on stage Nov. 17. He said Second City is the “breeding ground” for “Saturday Night Live” and that the comedians coming to Sioux City will likely be cast members on “Saturday Night Live” in the next year or two.

Dani Youngberg of Sioux City rehearses in a dressing room for her role as one of several bloody ballerina in the 2017 Haunted Orpheum.

“Bill Murray, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, Steve Carell, Tina Fey, Chris Farley, you name it, the big names off of ‘Saturday Night Live’ went from Second City to ‘Saturday Night Live,’” he said. “We’re getting six comedians to come here and make fun of all the stereotypes of our orchestra.

They’ll make fun of Ryan. They’ll make fun of our percussionists.”

A concert for the entire family is “Christmas with the Symphony.” This year’s concert, on Dec. 15, will feature traditional favorites and popular holiday tunes. Grammy award-winning cellist Zuill Bailey will make a special guest appearance.

The SCSO will celebrate Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on Feb. 23 with a performance that features Mozart’s musical compositions beginning with his very first at age 5 through his teenage years and into his 20s.

The evening ends with music that written during Mozart’s final years up unto his untimely death at age 35.

Dance Heginbotham, a New York-based contemporary dance company committed to supporting, producing and sustaining the work of choreographer John Heginbotham, will team up with the SCSO March 9 for an evening of symphonic dance.

Founded in 2011, Dance Heginbotham is know for its vibrant athleticism, humor, theatricality and its commitment to collaboration.

“They are one of the most competitive, prestigious dance organizations in the world right now,” Morgan said. “We’ve actually commissioned them to do one song with us that they’ve create for us. It’s the

world premiere of that dance. Our name stays with it, so everywhere they go, our name will be attached to it.”

The SCSO returns to outer space on April 6 for its season finale, “A Space Odyssey.”

DJ Mason Bates and Grammy award-winning mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke appear with the symphony during this historyfilled concert, which combines portions of Walt Whitman’s poems, Cooke’s singing, JFK’s Moon Shot Speech to Congress, radio transmissions from the astronauts

that walked on the moon and the SCSO. The performance will end with Richard Strauss’ classic, “Also Sprach Zarathustra,” which was famously used at the start of Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey.”

“It’s all put together in one big piece and it’s going to be extraordinary,” Morgan said.

“It’s like a history lesson with amazing music and amazing song.” official 2018 visitors guide

New paint job on Singing Hills water tank celebrates city’s past IAN RICHARDSON

irichardson@siouxcityjournal.com‌

O

ver the past few months, drivers, mall-goers and visitors to Cone Park may have noticed a fresh landmark saluting a treasured piece of the city’s musical heritage.

A new paint job on the Singing Hills water storage tank, which sits prominently atop a hill in Sertoma Park, now touts Sioux City as the “Home of Sioux City Sue.” Painted in maroon block-style letters with a line of musical notes wrapped around the base, the design hails back to the 1945 folk song written by Dick Thomas and Ray Freedman about a red-haired, blueeyed woman named Sue who fell in love with a cattle herder as he was “passin’ through” Sioux City.

Capron After its release, “Sioux City Sue” took off and was performed by several musicians including Bing Crosby, Willie Nelson and Gene Autry. Autry starred in a 1946 movie of the same title.

A May 14, 1946, article in the Algona Upper Des Moines newspaper said the woman in the song “is giving Iowa more publicity than anyone has been able to do since Herbert Hoover walked into the White House.”

Capitalizing on the popularity of the quaint tune, the city held a “Sioux City Sue” contest in 1946 for females with natural red hair and blue eyes, like the title character. It held more such contests in subsequent years. A B-17 plane was also named “Sioux City Sue” the same year the contest began.

Councilwoman Rhonda Capron, who served on the committee that came up with the idea, says she had hoped the reference would capture and draw attention to this part of Sioux City history.

“I wanted it to be something people would remember when they’re passing through Sioux City,” she said. “All you have 22 visitsiouxcity.org

The Singing Hills water tank sits on a hill in Sertoma Park overlooking Highway 75 and Interstate 29. The Sioux City water reservoir was repainted this summer in a play on the Sioux City Sue song made famous by several singers including Gene Autry and Bing Crosby.

to do is look it up and the song will be there and the history of it will be there.”

The idea came as the tank was overdue for its first new paint job since its construction in the mid-1990s. The City Council wanted something distinct, and a committee formed to discuss the options.

Capron sat on the committee along with special assistant to the city manager Rick Mach, Cindy Waitt and local artist Steve Avery, who wanted something that traffic passing by on Interstate 29 and the Highway 75 bypass would notice.

Ideas brainstormed by the committee included a carousel, a fishbowl and a bubble gum dispenser, but the musical notes – also a creative nod to the “singing” in Singing Hills – won over the members.

The new paint job includes rustic maroon block lettering on a shade of tan – a stark contrast to the former solid light blue paint job.

Crews finished work on the tower in early June. Capron said the design exceeded her expectations.

Interest is rising in the piece of heritage, Capron said. The new paint job spurred this year’s River-Cade to revitalize the “Sioux City Sue” competition, and the winner could be at a ribbon-cutting held later this year. Capron said they have also heard from people representing Autry who would like to take part in a ribbon-cutting at a later date.

“We’re just going to make it a fun event,” she said.

Holding up a Grizzly Omelet – made with three different types of meat – Erik Munoz said it was always his dream to own his own restaurant. Classic menu items include a gourmet burger and French toast.

Creative culinary fare in abundance on Historic Fourth Street Earl Horlyk

O

n the walls of Brightside Cafe & Deli, a guest can find an inspirational quotation from such intellectual big shots as Mark Twain, Mahatma Gandhi and Albus Dumbledore.

Um, do we mean Dumbledore, as in the headmaster of J.K. Rowling’s fictional Hogswart School of Witchcraft, featured in the “Harry Potter” series of books and movies? Yup, the very same.

“We want to be the place where people can relax and escape their hectic lives,” Erik Munoz said inside the eatery’s dining room. “They may only be here for breakfast or lunch or a coffee break. We want to represent the bright side in the lives of our guests.”

A BRIGHT SPOT FOR COMFORT FOOD FANS It had long been the dream of Munoz, and his brother Juan Munoz, of opening their own restaurant.

When Little Chicago Deli, a downtown Sioux City mainstay for more than 30 years, closed abruptly in October 2017, the Munoz brothers knew the 525 Fourth St. location would be perfect for them.

“Juan and I envisioned this would be a terrific place for a deli-style restaurant that would serve coffee and specialty omelets in the morning, as well as soups, salads and sandwiches for lunch,” Munoz said. “There are enough office workers who want something better than fast food.”

At Brightside Cafe, made-from-scratch comfort food has been turning heads.

For instance, the Grizzly Omelet – which includes ham, bacon, sausage and cheese mixed into an egg – is enough to satisfy even the hungriest of bears.

Similarly, the Brightside Burger – an allbeef patty served with pickles, lettuce and onions – is already becoming a signature item at lunch time.

“I think what makes the Brightside Burger is the sauce,” general manager Karla Ruby said. “The sauce give it a kick.”

FRESH INGREDIENTS GIVE FLAIR TO CLASSIC ITALIAN Variety is the spice of life, especially when you’re M’s on 4th executive chef Melis Spencer.

“We have to please very appetite,” she said, inside the 1021 Fourth St. eatery. “If you want (something hearty like) a Lobster Mac and Cheese, we have that. If you want a lighter Grilled Steak Salad, we have that as well.”

Spencer said she loves giving M’s diners plenty of options.

Creating new meals in very special,” she said. “It’s my favorite part of the job.”

So, what has Spencer been working on lately? Right now, she’s been busy expanding M’s small appetizers menu.

Appealing to diners who prefer to sample from several appetizers in place of a main course, Spencer is especially pleased with the Grilled Lamb Kebabs (grilled garlic and herb-marinated lamb served with a housemade Tzatziki sauce) and the Lobster Fonduta (lobster, herbs and a blend of cheese baked until bubbly and served with lavosh).

For those seeking something lighter, she recommended the Seared Ahi tuna (sesame-crusted ahi tuna served with roasted corn and pepper salad, mixed greens, along with a blood orange vinaigrette and avocado citrus aioli).

Also popular is M’s unique take on chicken wings. “Our wings are baked as opposed to deep-fried,” Spencer said. “Instead of

a Buffalo sauce, M’s Chicken Wings are tossed with a blend of spices and garlic butter. Diners can then dip the wings into a blue cheese dip that has blistered shishito peppers.”

M’s restaurant chef Jeni Van Beek is pleased to be giving the opportunity to use quality ingredients.

“You can create something special with just an handful of ingredients,” she said.

“That’s true when all of the ingredients are good.”

A graduate of Western Iowa Tech Community College’s culinary arts program, Van Beek began her career as an intern at M’s before working her way up to being a pastry chef before taking over the restaurant’s busy kitchen in October 2017.

ALL IN THE FAMILY Van Beek credited her grandma as being her culinary inspiration.

“I learned how to bake by watching my grandma,” she said. “No matter how hard I try, my chocolate chip cookies will never be as good as grandma’s. Maybe, my cooking can compare to grandma’s.”

At Brightside Cafe & Deli, Erik Munoz relates a similar story.

“Brightside wouldn’t have become a reality if it wasn’t for my dad,” Munoz said of Pablo Munoz, a local property manager.

“When my brother Juan and I were making repairs to the cafe, our dad was working along side us.”

“Dad taught us about having a strong work ethic and to always believe in ourselves,” he added.

So, did Munoz’s dad also teach him how to make satisfying, stick-to-your-ribs comfort food?

“Yeah, dad knows how to use a hammer but he also knows how to use a spatula,” Munoz said with a smile.

M’s on 4th chef Jeni Van Beek enjoys the challenge of creating delicious meals which feature lighter ingredients. official 2018 visitors guide

Samaritan Hospital was located at 17th and Pierce streets and began as a homeless shelter.

Sioux City has a storied history of

medical care

I

magine for a minute you’re a wealthy Sioux City resident, circa 1885. You have developed a debilitating lung condition – perhaps tuberculosis, perhaps cancer – that cannot be treated effectively, and your days are numbered.

As your condition worsens, do you go to the hospital?

No. You have the money to call a doctor to the house, and your own bedroom is a far more sanitary and comfortable place to die than a hospital.

Tom Munson, archives director for the Sioux City Public Museum, said that the earliest hospitals in Sioux City (and elsewhere) were not really the places of healing as we see today.

“Hospitals were mostly for people who are desperately ill, near death, and generally quite poor,” Munson said. “The very idea was, this is a place where you’re probably going to die. And they will ease your passing.”

In those days, operating a hospital was much more a charitable endeavor than a profitable one, which is why nearly all of the city’s hospitals started off closely linked with religious institutions and benefactors. Those affiliations survive to this day

After outgrowing the original structure, St. Joseph was built on land at Court and 21st streets.

St. John’s Hospital

Association to turn this homeless shelter into a hospital,” Munson said.

Samaritan merged with the St. John’s Hospital in 1923 to form the Methodist Hospital (see below). The Samaritan building was torn down decades ago.

St. Joseph Mercy Hospital was first located at 28th and Jennings streets.

in both Mercy Medical Center (Catholic) and UnityPoint Health-St. Luke’s (formerly the Lutheran and Methodist hospitals).

Mercy and St. Luke’s both trace their origins, through a series of mergers in the mid-20th century, to those 19th century hospitals that were best avoided.

Note: This is only a list of major or historically noteworthy Sioux City hospitals.

It does not include the large number of clinics and small doctors’ offices that have existed and continue to exist in Sioux City.

SAMARITAN HOSPITAL The first real hospital in Sioux City was the Samaritan Hospital, located at 17th and Pierce streets, which began as a homeless shelter in December 1884.

Prior to this, Munson said Sioux City had a “pest house” for indigent people with contagious diseases, but little is known about it.

Dr. William Jepson, a local surgeon and the father of Sioux City’s hospitals, was the driving force behind this hospital, which opened its doors circa 1886.

“He encouraged the Women’s Christian

ST. JOHN’S HOSPITAL After Samaritan Hospital, Jepson went on to found St. John’s Hospital in 1908. It was located in the former Sioux City College of Medicine building (the University of the Northwest, now known as Morningside College, once had a medical school), at 14th and Jones Streets. St. John’s was formed in partnership with local Scandinavian Lutheran churches.

St. John’s merged with Samaritan in 1923 to form Methodist Hospital.

The St. John’s Hospital building remained in use for years even after it was no longer a hospital, later finding use as a nursing home. It was torn down roughly 20 years ago.

ST. JOSEPH MERCY HOSPITAL The Sisters of Mercy started St. Joseph Mercy Hospital in 1890, at the urging of Jepson. The hospital’s first location was a house built by John Peirce at 28th and Jennings streets. This hospital still stands, and has long since returned to its original residential purpose.

Later in that same year, with the first house-hospital becoming crowded, Peirce sold the sisters another house and land at the corner of 21st and Court streets to be used for a hospital. This house was demolished in 1968.

The house-turned-hospital saw numerous additions over the years it was used,

with the last in 1952. In its time, St. Joseph was Sioux City’s largest hospital.

Of the 13 or so buildings that once made up the St. Joseph complex, about four remain. The oldest remaining parts of the complex date to the 1920s.

In 1977, St. Joseph merged with St. Vincent to form Marian Healthcare Center, which built a brand-new facility in 1982.

Marian later became known as Mercy, in a nod to the Sisters of Mercy.

LUTHERAN HOSPITAL The Lutheran Hospital was founded by S.W. Staads, another hospital booster, in 1901. Their first building, at 509 27th St., was expanded repeatedly: in 1910, 1916, 1920, 1926, 1930, 1952 and 1964.

Only a tiny bit of the Lutheran Hospital remains. Near the parking lot across the street from the present-day UnityPointSt. Luke’s is a small building with a smokestack.

“That’s what’s left of the Lutheran Hospital,” Munson said. “That was the heating and cooling and plant, and where they did their laundry.”

The majority of the facility was torn down more than a decade ago.

MATERNITY HOSPITAL Founded by Agnes Eichelberger in 1913, Sioux City’s Maternity Hospital was a hospital of last resort for young ladies who found themselves in (what was in those days) a bad situation. This was an extension of the previous Women’s Home for

The smokestack of the Lutheran Hospital still remains today and is part of the UnityPoint-St. Luke’s campus. official 2018 visitors guide

Unfortunate Girls and Foundlings Home, which Eichelberger founded nearly 20 years earlier.

“At this time, they got pregnant, and they weren’t married, or they got pregnant and something happened to boyfriend/ husband, and they’re alone, and they have no means of support” – and they ended up at the Maternity Hospital, Munson said.

The facility had a close relationship with the Florence Crittenton Home, which has long served a similar purpose.

Many of the patients wouldn’t have been locals, and many of their babies were left orphaned.

The hospital at 29th and Court streets also served as a home for the Samaritan Hospital for several years. The Maternity Hospital closed in 1928, and became the Methodist Hospital Nurses’ Home. It was damaged by fire and torn down recently.

Hillside HOSPITAL-Sanitorium/ Osteopathic Hospital/ Gordon Memorial Hospital Not finished when he founded the Lutheran Hospital in 1901, S.W. Staads went on to found Hillside Hospital in 1916. The hospital was first located at a house at 1622 W. 19th St.; the hospital opened a brick building in 1919.

By 1926, Staads, in failing health, left the business of running hospitals, and Hillside remained vacant until Dr. L.W. Jamiesen used the site for his Sioux City Osteopathic Hospital in 1941. In 1957, it became Gordon Memorial Hospital.

In 1975 the hospital became the Gordon Chemical Dependency Center, which would later become Jackson Recovery Center.

The brick structure still stands near the corner of W. 19th and West streets, though the medical occupants had left by 1989.

It’s not clear what the building is used for today.

Clockwise from top: Hillside Sanitorium, Gordon Memorial and Detention Hospital

Woodbury County Detention Hospital/ River Heights Tuberculosis Hospital In 1897, John A. Shipman founded the Detention Hospital downtown, just west of City Hall.

Downtown being a bustling center of activity, not everyone was happy with the idea of housing people suffering very contagious, fearsome diseases like tuberculosis there.

So the decision was made in 1914 to get the patients out of town, to a hospital built on Sawyer’s Bluff, just southeast of downtown.

After it closed, the hospital reopened in 1948 as the River Heights Tuberculosis Hospital after residents in the Woodbury County Home were found to be suffering tuberculosis. It closed in 1960, and reopened later as a state mental institution.

The Sawyer’s Bluff area was eliminated with the construction of Lewis Boulevard, and the hospital likely closed sometime around 1970.

METHODIST HOSPITAL St. John’s and Samaritan hospitals merged in 1923 to form Methodist Hospital, located at 29th and Douglas. This was the first of Sioux City’s hospital mergers that occurred as earlier hospitals found strength by combining forces.

“As medical care improved, as there were cures for diseases, and technology was improving, and surgeries were more and more successful, it got to the point where these hospitals needed to start merging, to improve their care,” Munson said. “They could embark on larger fundraising opportunities, and later on start seeking state grants.”

In 1966, the Lutheran and Methodist hospitals merged to form St. Luke’s.

The 1924 hospital still stands despite sitting unused since 2005. Last October, a Council Bluffs-based developer announced plans to transform the building into 60 market-rate apartments.

Marian Health is now known as Mercy Medical Center.

ST. VINCENT HOSPITAL In 1907, Mother Mary Gertrude and the Benedictine Sisters opened St. Vincent Hospital, in the former Villa Maria, a home for working girls, at Seventh and Pierce streets.

The hospital expanded into a new building at 624 Jennings St. in 1917, which was expanded in 1952, 1957 and 1970. The 1917 structure still stands adjacent to Mercy Medical Center.

Both St. Joseph and St. Vincent (as well as Methodist) were known for taking in polio patients – Sioux City saw hundreds of cases of the disease in the early 1950s.

“They were favored during the 1950s, when Sioux City had its polio epidemic,” Munson said.

In 1977, St. Vincent merged with St. Joseph to form Marian Health Center (see below). Today, Mercy Medical Center uses the old St. Vincent building for inpatient rehab and therapies, as well as staff offices.

MERCY MEDICAL CENTER The hospital now known as Mercy Medical Center began as Marian Health Center

Methodist Hospital was located at 29th and Douglas streets.

in 1977, with the merger of the Catholic hospitals, St. Joseph and St. Vincent. The hospital began adding a new building to the former St. Vincent campus in 1979, which opened in 1982. More additions were made in the 1990s and early 2000s.

In 1999, Marian Health Center was renamed Mercy in honor of the Sisters of Mercy. Today, the hospital has 238 beds and more than 1,100 total employees. Its 286 doctors, surgeons and specialists offers a wide range of care specialties, including behavioral, cancer, cardiac, infectious diseases, pediatrics, trauma and several others.

dozens of family practice clinics, specialty clinics and rural hospitals in western Iowa and eastern Nebraska, including facilities in the Sioux City area.

UNITYPOINT HEALTH - ST. LUKE’S With the merger of the Methodist and Lutheran hospitals came St. Luke’s. The earliest part of the modern-day facility was opened in 1972, and was added onto several times.

Today, UnityPoint Health-St. Luke’s 435,183 square foot facility boasts 152 beds and more than 1,500 employees, including 285 physicians. Like Mercy, St. Luke’s offers a huge variety of types of specialized care.

St. Luke’s opened its two-story, 86,000-square-foot glass and brick Sunnybrook Medical Plaza in 2014.

Nothing beats Sioux City for Musketeers center Tim Gallagher

hen Parker Ford craves sushi, he craves Crave, the sushi restaurant with a view of the Veterans Bridge in Sioux City.

When it’s time to hangout after games with his Sioux City Musketeers teammates, Ford finds himself at Chipotle Mexican Grill.

For pregame meals? Olive Garden or Panera Bread resonate for this 18-year-old resident of Wakefield, Rhode Island.

And for the games themselves? Well, nothing beats the Tyson Events Center, a raucous arena with top-shelf amenities in the locker-room, training room, weight-room and lounge.

Some players have called Sioux City’s Ford home-ice arena among the best in the U.S.H.L. You’d get no argument from the center sporting No. 22 on his green and white jersey.

“Growing up and playing hockey I’d never played in front of that big a crowd,” says Ford, recalling some of his time with the Musketeers one season ago. “When you play in front of 2,500 fans, it is really cool. I love playing there, in that cool atmosphere.

I’m looking forward to another season.”

That next season is just about upon us.

Ford, the son of John Ford and Rebecca Ford, counts down the days until the first puck drops. He’s hoping to draw upon his rookie season in Sioux City while leading the team to higher highs.

“Ultimately, the goal is to win the Clark Cup,” says Ford. “We’ll do everything we can to make it there. We’ll go as far as we can and work as hard as we can.”

Parker Ford’s determination showed during a 2017-18 season that, literally, suffered a bad break before the campaign got

going. Hit from behind and knocked into the boards during the team’s final preseason contest, Ford sustained a broken left hand that forced him to the sidelines for seven weeks.

“I got surgery in Sioux City and they put a plate and a couple of screws in my hand,” he says.

Ford worked to learn as much as he could about the team’s schemes as he watched in street clothes. When he earned the doctor’s clearance to hit the ice again, he had to play catch-up.

“Getting back into game shape took a couple of games,” Ford says. “And when I did get back to playing, it seemed everyone else had been off and running with the season. It took me a bit to find my groove.”

Once he did, Ford became a factor. His conditioning rounded into form, as did his timing, allowing the future Providence College Friar to add to the team’s scoring push. Around the New Years’ holiday, Ford and the Muskies jelled and won six in a row.

“Toward the end of the year, things seemed to open up for me,” he remembers. “I had two goals in one game at Sioux Falls and goals in other games. The season ended on a good note for me as I played my best hockey toward the end of the season.”

All told, Ford says his experience in Sioux City for Year No. 1 was a winner. He went from attending a small school in South Kent High School at South Kent, Connecticut, to weaving his ways through the halls at East High in Sioux City.

“Mrs. (Jamie) Zyzda taught accounting,” he remembers, offering the name of a teacher who made a difference in this newcomer’s academic approach. “I took Accounting II from her and I’m going into the business world at some point. It was a cool class.”

It didn’t hurt that Zyzda connected with the Musketeers, following their progress and seeing many games in person, just as thousands do across Sioux City each season.

“The community is really involved with the Musketeers and the teachers and whole staff at East helped us with school,” he

says.

Host parents Joe and Amber Ebner of Sergeant Bluff were rated as A-plus hosts by this skater, as did the restaurants and sites previously mentioned.

“The Tyson is second-to-none,” Ford says. “All of our facilities are wonderful, really.”

Ford also found a winner in his head coach, Luke Strand, and the rest of the coaching staff.

“Personally, I love the coaching staff. All the effort they put into everything, you can just tell why they’re so successful,” Ford says. “Coach Strand is a great coach, with his background both at Wisconsin and then in the Calgary Flames organization.

Coach says it how it is; if you’re not doing what you’re supposed to, he’ll let you know. If he chirps, it’s because he wants to make you better.”

There’s a reason so many Musketeers have skated, shot, passed and defended their way from Sioux City to Division I college hockey and, in many cases, into the National Hockey League.

After his second year in Sioux City, Ford will lace up the skates in Providence and compete for a home-state program he cheered to a national title three years ago.

His older sister, Olivia Ford, competes in gymnastics at Providence.

“Providence was definitely my No. 1 team growing up,” he says. “I’ll take an online class through Providence this season, my second in Sioux City.”

That is, when he isn’t sharpening his skills in the center of the ice, or celebrating winning efforts with his teammates at Sioux City hangouts like Chipotle Mexican Grill, Crave, Olive Garden and Panera Bread.

“Once I get to Sioux City, we’ll work as a team and grow closer together,” he says.

“We’ll take it one game at a time, working as hard as we can to go as far as we can.” official 2018 visitors guide
