My Business Story, etc. advertising feature

You probably know someone who has needed long-term care. Maybe you have witnessed a family member, friend or colleague struggle with the emotional and fi nancial issues that can come with a long-term care experience. The truth is, no matter when the need arises, because of age, disability, or because of an unexpected illness or accident, long-term care can affect any age group, any social strata, and any geographic location. But what is it and how can you plan for it?

What is Long-Term Care?Long-term care is help you may need due to a lengthy illness, an unexpected injury or accident, or a severe cognitive disorder such as Alzheimer’s disease. It’s assistance with the everyday tasks, or the activities of daily living (bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, transferring, and continence). Long-term care may be provided in a variety of locations, from nursing homes and assisted living facilities to adult day care centers and even your own home.

Who needs Long-Term Care?Most of us strive to live active, healthy lives well into our later years, and indeed as a society, Americans are living longer than ever before. This extended longevity is one of the things that drives the growing need for long-term care – the longer we live, the better the odds that we may need long-term care services. It is predicted that in the year 2020, some 12 million older Americans are expected to need long-term care.1

While the majority of long-term care services is provided for seniors, a surprising amount of long-term care services are provided to younger people. In fact, the U.S. Government Accountability Offi ce estimates that 40% of the 13 million people receiving long-term care services are between ages 18 and 64.2

Who pays for Long-Term Care?Long-term care can be expensive, fi nancially and emotionally. An

unexpected need for long-term care can have a signifi cant impact on a family’s assets and lifestyle. Close to one-fourth of all nursing home costs are paid out-of pocket by individuals and their families.3

Many people mistakenly believe that their health insurance will cover the cost of long-term care. Others believe that Medicare or Medicaid will cover long-term care expenses. While Medicare does provide health coverage for seniors, it is limited in the coverage it provides for long-term care. Medicaid will pay for the cost of long-term care, but you must qualify by meeting strict income and asset eligibility requirements.

Long-term care insurance could be a solution.Long-term care insurance can be a very smart way to address the challenges from a long-term care need. Long-term care insurance can help pay for nursing home care, as well as, a variety of home and community based care services. Long-term care insurance may not be for everybody, so if you are considering a policy, read it carefully and be sure to work with an insurance agent who understands long-term care issues.

With long life comes long-term planning. Make a plan for you and your family today. For more information on long-term care insurance, please contact Gary Gorchoff, CLU, CLTC, Agent,New York Life Insurance Company at 847-541-5432.

1. North Suburban Synagogue Beth El in Highland Park sponsored a synagogue-wide Mitzvah Day on Feb. 26, featuring guest speakers from the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless. Congregants made lunches for PADS, put together “get well” packages for U.S. troops, stocked shelves with Kosher food for the Chicago Chesed Fund, brought canine friends to Brentwood Nursing Home, packed food at the Northern Illinois Food Bank and made blankets for sick children through Project Linus.

2. Area Rotary members – joined by Rotarians from Wisconsin, Nebraska and England – traveled to India in February to immunize children against polio. The 20-member team joined other volunteers and health workers to administer drops of oral polio vaccine. “Until polio is eradicated worldwide, every child remains at risk,”

said Richard Rivkin, past president of the Rotary Club of Northbrook. “Although polio is 99 percent eliminated, the fi nal one percent is the most diffi cult. We must continue our efforts until all children are protected against the tragic consequences of this disease.”

3. The Lake County Family YMCA has elected former Grayslake Mayor Timothy R. Perry to its Board of Directors.Senior vice president at State Bank of The Lakes, Perry has 30 years of experience in banking and lending and helped many small businesses start in Lake County. “We’re pleased to have Tim join the board and help us further our commitment to strengthen the community through programs and services that foster youth development, healthy living and social responsibility,” said president and CEO Lynda Chott.

The numbers are staggering. In the United States today, suicide is the third leading cause of death among adolescents and young people. While many teens are prone to periods of depression and anxiety, prolonged exposure to these emotions can result in cognitive changes that may lead to the decision of the teen to commit suicide. Even though suicidal ideation is serious, professional intervention to address underlying problems can provide the needed support to prevent suicide from occurring. Given the magnitude of the problem, it is important to consider the precipitating events that can lead an adolescent or young adult to consider suicide. Clearly, biological changes resulting as a consequence of puberty can contribute to the confusion and emotional upheaval experienced by many teens during this period of their lives. Placed in the context of dynamic changes in their social environment – including more freedom, romantic relationships and peer pressure – teens can experience signifi cant distress that may otherwise be labeled by a parent or caregiver as “growing pains.” While it is indeed true that many teens experience growing pains, it is important for adults to remember that the social environment for adolescents and young adults has changed dramatically. An examination of the modern social environment in which many teens are reared demonstrates that today’s youth have access to information and resources that were once only available to adults. This shift, coupled with the ability of teens to access almost anything via the Internet, has served as the foundation of increased suicide rates in recent years. Changes in the mass media have also contributed to increased rates of suicide

among youth. Efforts to capture the attention of the youthful demographic have resulted in movies, television shows and songs that romanticize the concept of death. Teens that have other risk factors for depression and suicidal ideation may be more susceptible to the messages that are being sent through various media. When juxtaposed against peer pressure, many teens may feel pressure to commit suicide without recognizing the true scope of their actions. Although teenagers are often viewed as young adults, the reality is that most teens do not possess the cognitive skills and maturity to understand the concept of death and its implications. As a result, teens may glorify suicide as a viable alternative to the diffi culties of life when problems arise. Coupled with the impulsivity of youth, the end result can be the decision of the teen to commit suicide without really understanding what this choice means. When synthesized together, the diffi culties associated with adolescent development become more apparent. Even though the challenges facing adolescents are clearly overwhelming, parents concerned about their teens can provide help when problems arise. Parents that witness signifi cant changes in their child’s mood or behavior should attempt to connect with their child to understand the problems and issues their children are facing. Parents must also be aware of the more subtle signs of mood disorders, including insomnia, changes in appetite and somatic complaints such as head and stomachaches. If parents are unable to connect with their teens or if connection does not result in an improvement in the child’s mood or symptoms, parents may need to consider professional intervention and support. Interestingly, 90 percent of teens that

engage in suicidal ideation have a treatable psychiatric disorder. In most instances, teens become overwhelmed with depression or anxiety, which are the most common causes of suicidal behavior. While parents may believe that they can help their child, when serious mental health issues arise, parents will be best served to seek help from a professional for their child. Adolescence is a trying time for both teens and parents. For teens contemplating suicide, there is help. Professional treatment can provide the needed supports for teens to cope with challenges and overcome many of the obstacles associated with adolescence. A safe, comfortable place to share feelings

and thoughts will help alleviate the negative pressures teens are confronted with from their peers, society and family. Although this journey will not be easy, it is manageable. Suicide is not an inevitable fate for the depressed, distressed or anxious teen.

“Venture philanthropy” has become a buzz term in the nonprofi t sector over the past decade, but the concept was completely new to disease-focused charities when the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation decided to give it a try in 1998. Frustrated by the lack of progress toward targeted therapies for cystic fi brosis – a rare disease that affl icts just 70,000 people worldwide – Robert J. Beall, president and chief executive of the Bethesda, Maryland-based organization, added a bold new component to the foundation’s research-funding strategy. Beall, who joined the foundation in 1980, launched a program aimed at absorbing the early fi nancial risk involved in drug development as a way to entice for-profi t companies to get involved in cystic fi brosis research. That strategy was vindicated with the approval in January of the fi rst small-molecule drug that directly interacts with the mutated protein responsible for cystic fi brosis. The drug, formerly known as VX-770 and now branded as Kalydeco (ivacaftor), has been a long time in the making. Yet all along the way there was Beall and his foundation, which has committed $315 million to for-profi t companies for cystic fi brosis research over the years. Elie Dolgin spoke with Beall to learn more about his organization’s pioneering approach to philanthropy.

- What does this drug approval mean for people with cystic fi brosis?

It’s a very exciting time for our community. For the patients with this mutation – the G551D mutation, which represents four percent of U.S. patients – this is a life-

changing event. But equally importantly, we’ve validated the science that small molecules can ultimately make a difference in the clinic. So, this will pave the way now for the other modifying drugs in people with other kinds of cystic fi brosis mutations as well.

- What was the rationale behind going venture style in the late 1990s?

We had the gene. We had some targets. We understood the basic underlying defect. We had human cells, and we had indicator systems that could measure chloride levels. All these things could come together in a test tube, but it was taking academic scientists too long to do it. We had to accelerate the pace and bring industry in to that process, which meant we had to de-risk it. We had to take the early risk to draw them in.

- Take me back to 1998. How did the collaboration between your foundation and Aurora Biosciences come about?

I felt, and some work in the laboratory had suggested, that we were ripe to do high-throughput screening of small molecules for cystic fi brosis. I approached several groups – not many people returned my phone call – but Aurora Biosciences agreed. They were a contract organization that had a technology platform involving gigantic robots that could do high-throughput screening. We started a small collaboration that we later expanded to $40 million to screen thousands of compounds a day. They were great technology-wise, but we always say, “We’ll give you the money, but four times a year we’re going to meet with you face to face, and we’re going to encourage you with

milestones.” It was a business relationship that we established. It wasn’t a philanthropic relationship.

- After Vertex Pharmaceuticals bought Aurora in 2001 and the lead compound moved into the clinic, how did the relationship evolve?

Vertex had the capabilities that a big pharmaceutical company has in terms of taking a clinical candidate and moving it forward, doing the toxicology and trying to make the compound into an oral drug. We then brought in more people who knew the clinical aspects of CF (cystic fi brosis), and we also gave them something else: we had a clinical trials network. I always felt that money was one thing, but no company is going to come to us if they can’t do the clinical trials. So we started our own clinical trial network in 1998 and rolled it out in 1999. We now have 40 staff members in Seattle who run and coordinate clinical trials for CF and a network of about 80 care centers around the country with an on-site coordinator who recruits for clinic trials.

- How much money did the foundation invest in Aurora-Vertex?

Right now, we have invested $75 million in bringing forward VX-770 and VX-809, which are currently being tested in combination in people with the most common CF mutation. In the last year, we also committed another $75 million to Vertex to accelerate the development of a backup to VX-809 and to look for new molecules that might be important as we move forward. That’s not to say that VX-770 and VX-809 as a

combination therapy aren’t going to work, but we’re not going to wait to fi nd out.

- With Kalydeco now on the market, how will the foundation recoup some of its investment? We have royalty rights to the drug. We’re going to take that money and invest it back into the research. This is not foreign to us, because we previously sold the rights to an antibiotic called TOBI that we developed and licensed to a company called PathoGenesis for $20 million, and last year we sold our rights to the enzyme therapy liprotamase to Eli Lilly. Every time we get these dollars, we put them back into research, and that’s what our intention is to do now. That’s why we’ve been able to expand our medical programs. In 2010 we spent $70 million; this year we’re going to spend over $100 million.

- Have other disease charities adopted the venture approach?

Many of them are moving toward this model – including the Multiple Myeloma Foundation, the Michael J. Fox Foundation (for Parkinson’s Research), the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society – and we’ve been mentors for many of these groups. The fact is that many of these boards are seeing what’s happened to the CF Foundation and are saying, “Why don’t we do that?”

Straight Talk with Robert Beall on Cystic Fibrosis Research

In honor of spring being offi cially underway, this edition of “Special Needs, Special Times” has a green theme: green (and other colored) jellybeans, green (as in newbie) art skills and green philanthropic donations. Now is a great time to take a tour of the Jelly Belly jellybean warehouse factory. The candy maker’s Jelly Belly Visitor Center – located in Pleasant Prairie, Wisc., just outside of Kenosha – opens its doors to the public free of charge daily from 9am-4pm. A train ride, animated dancing chorus line and jellybeans stacked to the rafters are just some of the candy-licious delights that await visitors. Hop aboard the Jelly Belly Express, a four-car train that travels through the warehouse at a top speed of fi ve miles an hour. The train’s engineer narrates the 30-minute tour and makes seven stops at large video screens along the way. And no visit to this “sweet” tourist attraction would be complete without a sampling of the tempting Jelly Belly jellybean fl avors the company is famous for. At the end of the tour, a sample bar beckons visitors to taste any of the 100 different Jelly Belly candies. Jellybelly.com. The Bughouse Studio in Skokie wants to bring out the artist in your special needs loved one.

All proceeds benefi t the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign, a fund that provides fi nancial assistance to ensure that all children and families are able to benefi t from the Y’s programs and services, regardless of their fi nancial situation. Nsymca.org/y/contribute/strong-kids-dinner. I want to extend a special thanks to my good friend Arnie Turovitz of Northbrook. Arnie’s generous JoRide donation recently allowed Joey and me to purchase three bikes for children with special needs from three different families. With spring in the air, I’m sure they’ll be putting those bicycles to great use very soon.

Rockland School Raises More Than $6,000 for American Heart AssociationRockland students and staff recently raised $6,320 for the American Heart Association by jumping rope during a physical education class. Donating to the AHA took on new meaning when it meant that Rockland students and staff would be helping one of their own. Jack Iannuzzi, who has Factor V Leiden-genetic blood clotting disorder, raised a total of $1,000 on his own. This is the second year in a row that 11-year-old Jack was the top fundraiser. “Jack was also our top fundraiser last year and he happens to be a kid who directly benefi ts from the American Heart Association research,” said Rockland’s physical education teacher Mike Kolar. Principal Jeff Knapp says he is proud of his students and teachers. “I continued to be impressed with the overall character of the Rockland student body and staff,” Knapp said. “They have risen to accept this great challenge and I could not be more proud of their efforts as shown by the money they raised for the American Heart Association.” This year, Rockland wanted 125 students and teachers involved in the fundraiser, but 142 actually pitched in. “As an incentive for meeting the extended goal, three Rockland students will get to toss pies at my face, and an additional three students will get to throw a pie at Principal Jeff Knapp’s face,” Kolar said.

Avoca Students Place Well at Northshore Concert Band Music FestivalStudents from Avoca West Elementary School performed in the Northshore Concert Band Music Festival at Northwestern Univeristy on March 17.

April 12, 2012WH! Glenview12 fi tnessHow to Maintain Your Exercise Momentum

Momentum – for success it is the critical ingredient. In sports, every winning team and every winning player has momentum. Even in business, momentum is vital; they say a business that isn’t growing is dying. Only 23 percent of the population exercises. I have often thought that if I could fi nd a way to change that, I would be very rich. I would like to give you some of my tools to help give your loved ones some exercise momentum. If you have lost some of yours, perhaps you can regain it as well. I hear all kinds of reasons to not exercise: “I have no time,” “I’m afraid I’ll hurt myself,” “Exercising is boring.” Our business is essentially getting people to choose to make that leap. The funny thing about it is, when a person gets fi t and fi nally realizes what they were missing, they become the most zealous proponents of exercise. Maybe someone you know and love needs to exercise, and it worries you. I cannot make anybody exercise – well, I can, but they need to open the door fi rst – but I can help suggest ways to get rid of their excuses. Most non-exercisers need to hit rock bottom before deciding to do something. In our society, we don’t have many day-to-day activities that test our fi tness – we get water from a tap instead of a stream, drive everywhere and sit in front of a computer all day. We don’t always feel the need for exercise like we do life’s other essentials, such as sleep, water and food. If we need sleep, we get sleepy; if we need food and water, we get hungry or thirsty. However, if we get weak, we don’t know it until a friend needs help moving something heavy or we can’t button our pants. Sometimes, our answer is to buy bigger pants. Before you can use any of these tools, the person must be receptive. Let’s start with “I have no time.” Now, this may be true, but what they are really saying is that they are unwilling to give up something – sleep, work or sedentary leisure – to make time. I suggest multitasking by pairing exercise with something they like, such as reading on the elliptical, taking the kids along while biking or running, or watching favorite TV shows only while on the treadmill. Another excuse is fear of exercise-related

Decide. Commit. Act. These are the words on my business card – my tag line. My years as an Exercise Physiologist have taught me a few things, and one of them is that getting healthy and losing weight starts with a decision that leads to a commitment and is followed by plans and action. As I tell my clients, their success starts from the neck up. Once that happens the rest is much easier. So I was thrilled when I was introduced (by my daughter and her supervisor) to a book that provides a road map to eating this same way. “The Beck Diet Solution – Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person” by Judith Beck, Ph.D. looks at changing your head in order to change your eating. I know, I know – you’ve all heard these things before. However, Beck’s book is different because it provides a program with which you prepare yourself ahead of time for what will happen. You know how it is; you go on a diet, start exercising and everything is going great until that “thing” happens – you know that “thing” – the one that makes you say, “Hey, I deserve to eat this because ...” - It’s okay because I haven’t eaten anything bad all day - It won’t matter if I eat this - I already cheated on my diet, so I might as well eat this, too - I can’t waste this food - My friend will be insulted if I don’t eat her cupcakes - I can’t stand feeling hungry Beck’s plan prepares you for these sabotaging thoughts by having you identify them, write them down on an index card, then turn the card over and write down a better response and action than eating. You’re planning ahead for the feelings you know you will have as you go through this process. You identify your sabotaging thinking and you write out your responses while you are strong and clear-headed. If you wait to deal with issues when they actually happen it’s too late – you’re in a weakened state and, unfortunately, willpower is highly overrated. But because of the response cards you’ve prepared you have a plan. Here are some examples that worked well for some of my clients:

Sabotaging thought: I deserve to eat when I’m feeling bad. Helpful response: I deserve to feel better. I deserve comfort. But I also deserve to be thinner. Comforting myself with food will only work temporarily, and I’ll feel even worse later.

Sabotaging thought: The next time I have a craving I won’t be able to tolerate it. Helpful response: I couldn’t tolerate

cravings in the past, but now I have lots of anti-craving techniques that I can use, which will make the craving go away. Besides, the discomfort of cravings is mild compared to the discomfort I felt when _______________________. I tolerated that, and I can certainly tolerate cravings.(You’re taught those anti-craving techniques prior to starting your eating program.)

Sabotaging thought: I shouldn’t have to deal with this problem. Helpful response: I have three choices. 1. I can give up and stay at this weight – or, more likely, continue to gain weight every year. 2. I can diet on and off. Spend some days/months/years eating whatever I want, some days/months/years trying to stick to a diet, and most of the time weighing more than I want to. 3. I can accept the fact that dieting isn’t fair and move on, continuing to do what I have to do to lose weight. I’m freely choosing this third option.

I love this book and I use it with my clients. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read on how to train your brain to help you achieve your goals. Check it out – I think you’ll feel the same.

injury. If you have gotten hurt in the past, your approach needs to be modifi ed as you are just going to get worse. Your body is not getting stronger sitting at your desk; it is getting weaker and more prone to future injury. At this point, it’s critical that you do something. Start out easy, but build up. “Easy” is relative, as you could realize you overdid it as much as two days later. Is it possible you may get hurt again? Of course, but the likelihood is no greater than when you lift your groceries out of the car. As we age, our bodies produce less and less of the hormones that regenerate tissue. In other words, our bodies are slowly dying. Exercise stimulates the mechanisms that regenerate tissue, thus slowing the degenerative process. Every minute you spend not exercising is causing your body to die a quicker death.

One of the best strategies for consistency is to fi nd a workout partner. Besides the obvious camaraderie, you can utilize tricks to keep each other honest. Here’s one: both of you write a check to your most hated organization, then exchange checks. If you miss an agreed-upon amount of workouts, the check gets mailed. You would be surprised at just how effective this can be, especially when you call your partner to say you don’t feel up for a run and they reply, “That’s okay, I’ll just send your check off to _____.” Ultimately, exercise is not about looking good or losing weight, it’s about quality of life. Life’s simple but cruel truth is that you either use it or lose it. It is much easier to keep than get back, so start now with fi ve minutes of exercise, adding a minute a day until you’re up to 30 minutes and beyond.

What is seasonal allergy? Seasonal allergy generally refers to a specifi c allergic immune response to one or any number of pollens and molds. It can manifest as a classic runny, itchy, sneezy and swollen nose (rhinitis), sinus congestion (sinusitis) and/or eye irritation (conjunctivitis); but it can also affect the lung (asthma) and skin in the form of hives (urticaria) or rashes (eczema). Watery nasal and eye discharge are typical, but if swelling interferes with proper sinus and ear (Eustachian tube) drainage, mucus will soon become discolored (yellow, green, white or blood tinged), and usually signifi es a secondary viral or bacterial infection.

When is allergy season? To allergic individuals, there are many different allergy “seasons” which are best characterized by knowing one’s allergic profi le (by way of skin testing) and where they reside. Pollen and mold allergens have regional variability and are prevalent at different times during the year depending upon where you live. A person will experience symptoms only if they are allergic to the allergen that’s prevalent at the time. Remember that allergies are additive, so a person will have increased symptoms if they have multiple sensitivities and if their allergy seasons overlap. For example, season overlap is common in the Midwest. As the snow melts, the wet mold season begins and lasts until the ground is frozen again, typically in December. Next, in mid-March tree pollen season starts and lasts until early June. Grass season then overlaps from May-June along with summer weeds, which start in May and last through the frost. Dry mold season tends to be from July to the frost, and is overlapped with the fall weed/ragweed season.

With these timeframes, many allergy sufferers fi nd it particularly diffi cult to function in May (tree, grass, wet mold and summer weed seasons) or August (summer weed, fall weed, ragweed and wet and dry mold seasons).

What can I do about my allergy symptoms? Current effective treatments for allergy can range from over the counter (OTC) antihistamine products, to prescription medications to allergy shots. It’s reasonable for a mildly allergic person to start with a low potency OTC antihistamine such as loratadine (i.e. Claritin, Alavert) and may try OTC ketotifen fumarate eye drops (Zaditor) if needed. If there’s no improvement then OTC cetirizine (Zyrtec) is a good choice because it is stronger and lasts 24 hours, but it may produce side effects such as fatigue. Old-fashioned diphenhydramine (Benadryl) also works well but it has a shorter duration and may also cause fatigue. If OTC allergy medications aren’t helpful, then you may have multiple or severe allergies or some other problem. If your doctor suspects that it’s allergy, consider a consultation with a board-certifi ed allergist to objectively test and educate you so that you may benefi t from an individual treatment plan based on your allergic profi le.

Any tips for travel in allergy season? Plan a trip to a saltwater beach, cruise or desert getaway, preferably during your high allergy season. Allergen levels in these areas are typically low to nonexistent. Be advised that the beach effect diminishes if you are too far inland, in that the ocean breezes can only do so much to remove pollen and molds. Staying at the seaside is also benefi cial

because the high salinity of its water and air has natural cleansing and healing properties. Also know that when traveling to the desert you may notice a diminished benefi cial effect in large metropolitan areas (such as Phoenix). This is because many people who migrated there brought their native plants, which tend to bloom year-round. If such a vacation isn’t possible, then check your destination’s local pollen and mold counts at websites such as weather.com or pollen.com. If you have an idea of what your allergies are, then you’ll know if you need to take your medications with you. I would also advise that you start your preventative

therapies a good one to two weeks before you depart. When planning your trip home, and even if the beach seemed to “cure” you, remember to restart your allergy regimen a few days before you return. Allergy medicine always works better preventatively than after the fact.

The Earl of Sandwich would hardly recognize his namesake contribution on today’s menus. Four and a half centuries after the English nobleman became the fi rst

person in recorded history to put meat between two slices of bread, his idea has been updated every which way. Long the staple of lunch and light meals, sandwiches have shed their characteristic format as burgers, clubs

and just plain ham on rye to enter an eclectic smorgasbord with gourmet translations. Sandwiches have evolved with more style, substance and fl avor, especially those at DC Sarnies in Deerfi eld, a trendy restaurant that has taken a leadership position in the upscale sandwich market. Introduced last May in a space previously occupied by a Bennigan’s, this venture is not to be confused with Panera, Subway or mass-marketed burger joints. Sandwiches are works of art here, with at least 23 versions ranging from simple grilled cheese to connoisseur-class burgers tabbed at 15 bucks. Sarnies (the British slang word for sandwiches) is owned by Highland Baking Company in Northbrook, which of course delivers fresh loaves, rolls and buns daily in 15 varieties. Everyday white, rye and wheat share the cupboard with cutting-edge Chipotle Telera, Sammy Tuscan and Tomato Focaccia. Ingredients also come in numerous choices, like six meats and poultry, eight cheeses,

fi ve sauces and 16 toppings, all of which encourage you to mix and match your way to a build-your-own bonanza of combinations and fl avors. Though sandwiches are what Sarnies is all about, chief chef Keith Butts and sous chef Matt Maynard haven’t overlooked the appetite or two in every crowd that prefers a different direction. Salads (Southwest Cobb is a taste of Texas) and soups (Lobster Bisque has all the right touches) can be a meal unto themselves. Entrees like Miso Salmon and Sweet Chili Shrimp are further examples of their distinctive dishes. Big Macs and Whoppers pale by comparison to the burgers here. The Black and Bleu is a hefty handful, an eight-ounce mound of certifi ed Angus beef beautifully blackened, broiled and bolstered with bleu cheese crust, caramelized onions, herbed garlic, mayo and tomato tucked into a sesame bun. The Surf and Turf appeals by including crab cake and Southwest remoulade, while the Cheddar Pretzel Burger is amped up with sharp cheese, spicy Dijon aioli and trimmings on a pungent pretzel bun. Sandwiches come with house made chips or fries cut from premium Yukon Gold potatoes. Among other signatures, the Cuban Panini emulates the fl avors and fl air of Havana. Ham, pulled pork, Swiss cheese and fried pickles are stimulated with a vigorous Cuban salsa on Chipotle Telera bread with a spirit all its own. Also artistically presented is the Kentucky Hot Brown, a down-home merger of turkey, bacon, Romano cheese and Roma tomato sloshed with good old country gravy. Creativity isn’t limited to sandwiches. We’ve never come across calamari prepared with an Asian-Latin vibe like this A-list appetizer. Fried squid are infused with a

ginger-hoisin personality of serrano chile, bell and jalapeno peppers and sweet-spicy hoisin sauce. Even desserts offer a surprise or two, such as tempting S’mores Cheesecake, Cherry Chocolate Bread Pudding and properly tart Key Lime Pie. Liquid assets include 27 craft beers, a decent wine list and Sprecher Orange Dream soda. Sarnies exudes casual comfort with a 164-seat arrangement keyed to wooden fl oors, cozy booths, lively lounge and understated decor. The wait staff is youthful and eager to please.

Before shopping for a new barbecue, here are a few things to consider:

What is your favorite grilled food? If hamburgers, hot dogs, and the occasional steak are as far as you get, there is a wide range of reliable, reasonably featured grills to choose from. If you are cooking a variety of meals, a number of burners will give you more precise control, while side burners and rotisserie capability make it even easier to impress your guests.

How many people are you grilling for? Most grills can be fi led into a few categories. Small, space conscious grills designed for condo living and empty nesters make preparing meals for four to six people easy enough, but for more than that you will have to get creative. Most grills in this category have a primary surface of between 300 and 400 square inches. Grilling for between four and eight people and occasional crowds is better suited to 400 square inches or more. If you’re preparing a feast on a regular basis, many grilling surfaces are available with more than

500 square inches.

How will it perform? Research construction and cooking performance before buying. Tube style burners, and ‘H’ or ‘8’ shaped burners offer even heat distribution and excellent performance. Is there something covering the burners? This is called the heat medium. Briquettes and lava rock are antiquated heat media; most new grills have stainless or porcelain coated steel vaporizers. They are reliable, durable, and easy to look after. It’s important that they protect the burner from food residue, promote even heating, and don’t have fl at spots for grease to pool and fl are up. Most importantly, these vaporizers create that smoky barbecue fl avor you’re looking for by vaporizing juices as they fall through the cooking grids.

What are the cooking grids made of? Look for cast iron or stainless steel. These cooking grids are heavy enough to retain heat, and promote excellent cooking performance. Either of these options will let you create steakhouse style sear marks to wow your guests, and they’re still easy to look after.

You don’t need to go to a restaurant to get good prime rib. It takes a little while to do

yourself, but is well worth the time and effort. Plus, the leftovers make great sandwiches the following day. Below is my foolproof recipe, which works perfectly as long as you don’t skip a step.

Prime Rib with Au Jus

6 lb rib roast (bone-in)2 tsp salt1 tsp pepper

Paste2 tbsp olive oil6 garlic cloves (chopped)1 tsp rosemary1 tsp marjoram1 tsp thyme1 tsp sage4 oz. butter (softened)

Veggies1 medium onion (thinly sliced)4 oz. carrots (diced small)4 oz. celery (diced small)4 cups beef stock

[1] Remove your roast from the fridge and let it come to room temperature (give it at least two hours). [2] Salt and pepper, and let sit an additional 30 minutes. [3] Preheat oven to 450 degrees. [4] In a food processor, grind the herbs, oil, garlic and butter until it forms a paste. [5] Rub meat with paste. [6] Place in a pan with a rack, fat side up. [7] Put in oven for 15 minutes, then lower temperature to 325 degrees and roast for 30 minutes. [8] Remove pan and add veggies all around beef, into drippings; if drippings are scarce, add about ½ cup of broth. [9] Continue cooking until internal temperature is 135 degrees (approximately 45 minutes). [10] Remove from oven. [11] Remove beef from pan, and set on a platter to rest for at least 15 minutes (do not skip this process). The internal temperature will continue to rise. [12] While the beef rests, place the pan with the veggies on the stove (using two burners) over a high heat. [13] Add the beef stock and cook until liquid has reduced by half. [14] Strain, discard veggies, and pour au jus into gravy boat or individual ramekins. [15] Debone the beef, carve into slices and serve with au jus. Serves approximately 12.

Harold Lebovic is president of The Heartland Spa and Fitness Resort, located 90 miles south of Chicago in Gilman and nestled on 32 acres of pastures and woods. The fully-equipped destination spa welcomes and nurtures guests through a variety of fi tness, nutrition and stress management programs. Enjoyed by thousands over its 29-year history, the spa offers a setting in which guests can relax, unplug, and focus on individual lifestyle goals.

WH! What was your very fi rst job?HL: My fi rst job was when I was 12 years old. One of my chores was to mow our lawn. My dad paid me $8 a week to mow the lawn, and I paid another kid $5 to do it! Our lawn always looked great, which resulted in me getting asked to cut other lawns in the neighborhood…but I’d hire my friends to do the work! I supplied my dad’s lawn mower. The kids would get paid a portion of what I made, and I made some, too. I did the same thing in the winter with shoveling snow – a nice little business for a 12-year-old!

WH! Outside of your current fi eld, what other occupations, if any, have you pursued?HL: In my adult life I’ve focused on the real estate business – mainly owning and building a real estate brokerage company, which resulted in fi ve offi ces. I also buy and sell real estate on my own. In the past 20 years or so, my true passion has been the health and fi tness industry, having owned and operated health and fi tness spa/resorts – one in Florida, and now The Heartland Spa and Fitness Resort in Gilman.

WH! Name one person you’d consider a hero or role model and explain why.HL: I’d have to say that my role models are

the men that wrote our Constitution. In my opinion, they were far ahead of their time and were true geniuses.

WH! What’s your favorite way to relax after work?HL: This may not be the “correct” answer, but my favorite way to relax after work is to watch some mindless funny TV. It lets me turn my brain off a little. My signifi cant other will tell you that I like to get involved with the making of dinner; this, too, helps me unwind.

WH! Tell us about a work experience from which you learned a valuable lesson. HL: I learned very early in my career that I was not the smartest guy in the room, so my goal was to make enough money to hire the smart people! I never pretend to know everything. I am always learning and always open to what others have to say.

WH! Where do you go on your lunch break and why? HL: A lunch break? What lunch break? I usually grab something on the run, if I have time to stop at all. I am constantly on the go, so I usually keep a healthy snack in my car.

WH! Make up a question for yourself and answer it.HL: “What do you hope to leave behind when it is time to leave this earth?” I hope I leave behind a family that has wonderful memories of our times together. I learned a long time ago that you leave this earth with the same thing you came with: absolutely nothing. Every day needs to be a good one – connecting with the people you love and care about. Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring, so make today the best it can be.

WH! The one business tool (Blackberry, Wall Street Journal, LinkedIn, etc.) I can’t live without is:HL: I cannot live without my iPhone. But, The Heartland Spa has taught me that the more important technology has become in our lives, the more important it is to have a place like The Heartland where folks can unplug, relax and unwind. We all need a break sometimes.

WH! Tell us about the best business trip you’ve ever been on. HL: I go to Las Vegas twice a year to meet with the owners of other destination spas throughout the country, including Canyon Ranch, Golden Door, the Biggest Loser Resorts, Cal-a-Vie Health Spa, Red Mountain Resort and others. We share a lot of information and learn a great deal from one another.

WH! If you could have gotten in on the ground fl oor of any business deal in history, what would it have been? HL: Viagra – just kidding!

WH! What’s your best advice for someone just starting a business in the local area? HL: Like the Nike tagline says, “Just do it!” If you believe in something, trust your gut instinct and go for it. You’ll never know what kind of success you could have if you don’t try. That’s what I did. WH! How did you get your start in business? HL: In 1974, my father did not have extra money, but he got a loan from Devon Bank for $6000. I put his $6,000 with my life savings of $6,000 and used it as down payment to buy a 10-unit building at 1650 Farwell in Rogers Park. I had no clue what I

was doing. I just knew that I wanted to buy this building in the worst way. Fortunately, everything worked out!

WH! Name three information resources (print, web, personal) that are essential to your company and explain why.HL: All three are pertinent to the success of The Heartland Spa. Print advertising helps us get the word out to our guests, so we invest in this type of marketing on a regular basis. We also recently launched a brand new website, which we are very proud of. Most of our reservations come from the Internet and our site allows guests to check availability and connect with our staff seven days a week. Most importantly, we encourage feedback from our guests and we always listen to what they have to say. The Heartland is small (only housing 32 visitors at a time), so there is a lot of communication and interaction between our staff and our guests. We’re very lucky; a majority of our guests are either repeat visitors or come to us via word of mouth.

WH! Tell us about one person or company who has been instrumental in the success of your business and explain why.HL: Our Executive Director, Sherry Gossett, has been extremely instrumental in the success of our business. She stepped up to the plate when our former director retired and didn’t miss a beat. Sherry cares about The Heartland as much as I do and wanted to do everything possible to keep us successful. She’s a great communicator and open to new ideas, which I appreciate. She’s a true team player. I feel very fortunate that she is part of The Heartland.

It is not surprising that the majority of people have heard of varicose veins. No one really likes them, since they have a reputation of being unattractive, but most people don’t realize they can also cause serious health issues. What are Varicose Veins?The full name of the disease is actually “insuffi ciency of superfi cial veins of lower extremities,” or more simply, “venous insuffi ciency.” Besides being unsightly, the condition can cause multiple other signs and symptoms, like tiredness, heaviness in the legs and feet, cramps, brown discoloration, restless leg syndrome, swelling, numbness, itching, and burning.“Spider” veins—small blue, bluish or purple vessels (technically called telangiectasia)—are a manifestation of this disease as well, if they form in the legs and feet.Once venous insuffi ciency progresses, complications can develop, like thrombophlebitis, trophic ulcers, reperfusion cellulitis, swelling of an extreme degree called anasarca, progressive infections called phlegmasia, and even skin cancer. Other, less common problems include chronic pelvic pain and orthostatic hypotension.What’s really going wrong in these veins? It all starts in the small folds on the inside lining. In a vein of a normal diameter, the folds located on opposite walls can reach each other to form a valve, allowing blood to move only in one direction: upstream. Such veins are called “competent” or “suffi cient.” In even slightly enlarged veins, those folds do not meet. The blood, therefore, can go either direction. The abnormal valves are appropriately called “incompetent,” and the vein is called “insuffi cient.” Normally, blood in our legs moves against gravity to reach the heart; in an insuffi cient vein, however, the blood will be directed vertically down, toward the feet.

Health ConsequencesInsuffi cient veins can have many detrimental consequences. The ones most people know about are mechanical—such as dilated, varicose veins; and swollen legs and feet. However, many people don’t realize the biochemical consequences, like increased toxins in the blood.The blood fl owing through our veins is “used” blood. It doesn’t contain oxygen or nutrients, and it’s loaded with carbon dioxide and other end products of metabolism. These waste materials need to be fi ltered through the kidneys, liver, gastro-intestinal tract, and lungs, and eventually, expelled from the body. Typically, the body

between doctor and patient doesn’t stop upon completion of treatment; we always follow our patients to ensure perfect results and full satisfaction. USA Vein Clinics centers have three convenient locations in the Chicagoland area – Northbrook, Belmont Avenue and Milwaukee Avenue, and Elk Grove Village. For more information visit us on the web www.usaveinclinics.com or please call 847-346-0070 The USA Vein Clinics are State of the Art centers specializing in treatment of venous disorders where expertise of cardio-vascular surgeons brings you healthy and beautiful legs.

The founder of the USA Vein Clinics - Yan Katsnelson, M.D. is a Harvard trained Cardio-Vascular Surgeon who is an expert in minimally invasive surgery. The expertise of a top-notch cardiac surgeon and deep knowledge of vascular problems makes USA Vein Clinics a unique place helping people with a variety of vascular problems.

USA Vein Clinics offer the newest offi ce-based treatment of varicose veins - Endovenous Laser Therapy (EVLT), which is approved by Medicare and most insurances We speak Spanish, Polish, Greek, Russian, Ukrainian and Hebrewwww.USAVeinClinics.com

Varicose Veins: Unattractive, and Potentially Dangerousis effi cient in getting rid of these toxins, so they don’t hang around long enough to cause trouble. In insuffi cient veins, however, such blood is being forcefully injected back into peripheral tissues, poisoning them and depriving them from the fresh blood normally brought in by the arteries. How is it Treated?How do we treat this problem? Regardless of the signs and symptoms, treatment should be directed at the cause—poor circulation. First, we need to identify the veins with incompetent valves. Second, we need to stop the blood from fl owing through them. Any treatment not directed at improving circulation is not effi cient, at best, and is often detrimental, with the potential of accelerating the disease or leading to further complications.In the old days, surgeons made a large, entire-leg incision and removed the affected veins during an operation. Not only was it disfi guring, invasive, and requiring of general anesthesia—with long recovery consisting of multiple limitations and complications—

“My leg ulcer has completely healed! I can’t believe that I can fi nally wear short pants. USA Vein Clinics not only took great care of me, they were kind enough to watch my children while I was being treated.”

“Four years ago, I noticed that my ankles would start to swell when I was sitting down for long periods of time at my job in the collections department. I hoped the swelling and pain would go away, but during the next 2 years, things got worse. I couldn’t play sports with my children, and I had to use a stroller to walk from my car to the supermarket. And when the winter came, I felt as if I was walking on glass. I started to get depressed because I was supposed to be in the prime of my life and yet I felt as if I was 60 years old. Thankfully, my sister heard about USA Vein Clinics. Both of my legs are back to normal. And I don’t need to take any more pain medications. I feel awesome.”

“looking for it” with our eyes was a crude way to fi nd an insuffi cient vein.Today, we fi nd abnormal veins with an ultrasound machine using specifi c sophisticated criteria, measurements and calculations. It’s precise, painless, and takes quick. Once the vein is identifi ed, there are several types of treatment designed to seal the vein from the inside, as opposed to surgical removal. Endovenous Laser Therapy is the most advantageous approach. Upon treatment, the vein not only remains closed, but in the majority of cases, it slowly disintegrates while being digested by surrounding soft tissues. Consequently, the question of recurrence due to re-opening of the treated vein does not exist anymore: the vein is gone.At U.S. A. Vein Clinics, physicians with high qualifi cations in vascular pathology— specializing exclusively in management of venous insuffi ciency and its complications—conduct meticulous evaluations, perform indicated testing, and administer appropriate treatment on a case-by-case basis. In our centers, the relationship

“The doctors at USA Vein Clinics gave me a new life! I stopped traveling because of my varicose veins. But now, we’re planning a special trip for our 50th wedding anniversary. I look and feel a lot younger.”

“I’ve been suffering from vein disease for more than 20 years. I even tried surgery on one leg which took seven months anddidn’t work. I wish I had gone to USA Vein Clinics fi rst. Don’t waste time. Make an appointment with USA Vein Clinics today. You’ll be amazed by the results.”

“I feel as if I’ve received a brand new pair of legs! It’s hard to believe that I can fi nally walk around the block. I haven’t been able to do that for the past 7 years.And my 20 year old granddaughter was amazed when I was able to walk quickly up the stairs. The entire staff at USA Vein Clinics was so friendly and helpful.”

847-346-0070

April 12, 2012WH! Glenview22 business & tech

CONVERSATIONS, PAGE 18

WH! What aspect(s) of your business are you most proud of? HL: I am most proud of how we change people’s lives for the better – one guest at a time. Some change in big ways, some in small ways, but all leave The Heartland feeling rejuvenated and relaxed.

WH! Given unlimited resources, what would you change about your business/industry?HL: True destination health, fi tness and wellness spas/resorts are few in number, and cost millions to open. If I had unlimited funds, I would open many more “Heartlands” around the country.

WH! What exciting things are on the horizon for your business, and where will it be in fi ve years? 15 years? 30 years? HL: Every day is exciting in this type of industry. I truly believe that health issues, obesity, and the stress of everyday life will make local “wellness” getaways like The Heartland more of a necessity, not a luxury.

WH! What’s the next technological innovation that will change the way we all do business?HL: I think getting away from technology may be the next innovation. We need to get back in touch with nature, ourselves and each other. Mother Nature is much smarter than

a computer.

WH! What’s your favorite wall decoration (plaque, poster, picture, etc.) in your offi ce? HL: We have so many inspirational messages on the walls of The Heartland, but the simple word “relax” – posted in our entrance – is probably my favorite, and most applicable to what The Heartland is all about.

WH! Are you a Mac or a PC? HL: PC for sure! My brain does not have enough room to learn Mac – I was a “late adopter” to the world of computers!

WH! Why did you start your business in this area of metropolitan Chicago? HL: I grew up here, I live here, and I like the Midwestern people and their attitudes/values.

WH! How does the North Shore or north suburban clientele affect your business? HL: Most of our visitors are from the North Shore. We are only 90 miles south of Chicago, so we are close enough for them to get to us with ease, yet the farmland that houses the Heartland makes it feel like they are far away. There’s something very special about the peaceful tranquility of The Heartland.

Look out! A warning to everyone who has bought or plans to buy a digital camera – don’t install the software. Here’s a secret manufacturers don’t want you to know: you

already have that software in most cases. Now, any good hardware company will argue you “need” their software, but in reality you don’t. Unless, of course, you do, tricky camera makers.

A few weeks ago, a Techlife reader took their new camera out for a spin. They shot some photos, recorded some video and got back to the computer to transfer it. Lo and behold, they had never installed the included software and asked me if they should. What do you think I would say? The title of this column should clue you in. “How do I get my photos and video off the camera, then?” they asked.

Cameras are Big Thumb Drives Cameras are truly big storage device enclosures with a lens. Obviously they do much more, but to your computer they are just another drive. If you pop out the portable storage – oftentimes an SD Card – a computer can accept it with a USB card reader. Upon insertion, you will be presented with a variety of picture options and general options. The simplest is often the best.

Get Your Photos Without Camera Software 1. Under “General options,” choose “Open folder to view fi les” 2. You will see a basic folder view with all

the fi les 3. Simply choose the images you want and copy them to the folder on your computer 4. Delete the fi les off the SD Card No additional software was needed. It’s something most users are comfortable with: copying fi les from one place to another.

Camera Makers Fight Back This brings us back to the Techlife reader, who followed this how-to with ease for their photos, then asked about the movie fi les. After careful review, it seems the camera shipped from the manufacturer set to record in a non-standard format. Worse, there was no mention of this anywhere and the only way to access the few movies was – you guessed it – the software that shipped with the camera. The simple fi x was to switch the camera to record in a standard movie format, and then ignore the installed software once again.

New Camera? File Basics For all new camera purchases, take a few test shots and test movies before you do anything. If the fi les are easy to copy to your computer with the additional software, great. You’re done. If they aren’t, change the fi le format the camera saves in, and then try again until you do. In the end, the camera should have fi les allowing you to use the software of your choice to modify still images and movies, not the other way around. And what of our Techlife reader? I’m happy to report the movies are now set to record in a standard format, and we should see a lot of new cat videos on YouTube.
