<strong>Lady</strong> - A Women’s Expo to return April 21 to Tinley Park Convention Center<br />

JON DEPAOLIS<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

It is a Mother’s Day tradition<br />

unlike any other.<br />

<strong>Lady</strong> - A Women’s<br />

Expo, presented by 22nd<br />

Century Media and Planet<br />

Fitness, is set to return<br />

from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday,<br />

April 21, at the Tinley<br />

Park Convention Center,<br />

18451 Convention Center<br />

Drive in Tinley Park.<br />

The annual event also<br />

is sponsored by the Chicago<br />

Sky, Ingalls Health<br />

System and Celebrity<br />

Cruises.<br />

The free event has more<br />

than 100 vendors slated to<br />

attend this year — covering<br />

health and wellness to<br />

fashion and beauty, food<br />

to financial planning —<br />

making it the largest <strong>Lady</strong><br />

expo to date, according to<br />

Heather Warthen, chief<br />

events officer at 22nd<br />

Century Media.<br />

“The nice thing about<br />

this expo that I see year to<br />

year is that we see a lot of<br />

girls getting together and<br />

starting a ladies day out,”<br />

Warthen said. “We also<br />

draw moms, daughters<br />

and granddaughters. That’s<br />

what makes me happy. It’s<br />

a great prelude into Mother’s<br />

Day weekend and a<br />

great chance for women of<br />

all ages to bond.”<br />

Among the highlights<br />

this year will be an expanded<br />

roster of vendors,<br />

as well as entertainment<br />

options.<br />

“I think people like to<br />

see what the vendors have<br />

to offer,” Warthen said.<br />

“It’s a great opportunity,<br />

because we have an entire<br />

stage of cooking demos,<br />

which is back again this<br />

year. We have some great<br />

local chefs, and you can<br />

pick up some new cooking<br />

tips. I know that was a<br />

huge draw last year.”<br />

She also pointed to the<br />

main stage attractions,<br />

LADY – A WOMEN’S EXPO: THREE HACKS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR VISIT<br />

JON DEPAOLIS<br />

Freelance Reporter<br />

A lot of people will be strolling through<br />

the aisles Saturday, April 21, for the<br />

fifth annual <strong>Lady</strong> – A Women’s Expo.<br />

We asked Heather Warthen, 22nd<br />

Century Media’s chief events officer<br />

and resident expert expo authority, for<br />

some “hacks” for those who plan to<br />

attend, so they can make best use of<br />

their time there.<br />

1. Scout ahead: Take a look at the<br />

event’s Eventbrite webpage before<br />

you head to the convention center.<br />

It will have the full list of vendors,<br />

an event schedule for the fitness<br />

classes, cooking demos and main<br />

stage entertainment. Map out some<br />

things you definitely want to do and<br />

such as Danni Allen —<br />

the winner of Season 14<br />

of “The Biggest Loser”<br />

— and plenty free fitness<br />

classes, including cardio<br />

and yoga.<br />

Also returning to the<br />

expo this year is Silk Avenue,<br />

from whom attendees<br />

can purchase custommade<br />

scarves.<br />

“We’ve got something<br />

for everybody,” Warthen<br />

said. “There’s plenty to<br />

do, and I think people<br />

like seeing the variety of<br />

vendors we get. It’s not all<br />

clothing or food or home<br />

remodeling or repairs; we<br />

really do try to bring in<br />

a variety that people will<br />

enjoy.”<br />

New this year will be<br />

Tracy DeGraaf, who authored<br />

the 2010 book,<br />

“Laugh Anyway Mom:<br />

Hilarious Survival Stories<br />

From a Mother of Five<br />

Who Has Learned How<br />

to Keep the Joy in Motherhood<br />

and How You Can<br />

Too.”<br />

Also new this year will<br />

be a couple of mobile<br />

boutiques, such as Coash<br />

Clothing Company and<br />

Three B’s Mobile Boutique.<br />

LifeSource also will<br />

be sponsoring blood and<br />

bone marrow drives during<br />

the expo. Appointments<br />

may be made in<br />

advance by calling (877)<br />

543-3768 or visiting<br />

www.LifeSource.org.<br />

Free gift bags also will<br />

be given to the first 500<br />

people through the doors.<br />

2. Arrive early to get some swag: Have<br />

you ever heard the expression, “The<br />

early bird gets the worm?” Well, in<br />

this case, early arrivers have the<br />

best chance at receiving a free gift<br />

bag. There only are 500 of these<br />

bad boys, so the closer you arrive<br />

to 9 a.m., the better your chance to<br />

pick one up.<br />

3. Be a trendsetter; go against the<br />

flow: Warthen says that oftentimes,<br />

expogoers tend to follow a similar<br />

path through the aisles, leading<br />

to some congestion at certain<br />

spots. One way to avoid that? Be a<br />

trailblazer and walk in the opposite<br />

direction, by working from the back<br />

TheraCORE Physical Therapy provides a<br />

comforting, personalized patient experience<br />

Do people know they<br />

have a choice where they<br />

can attend physical therapy?<br />

Doctors refer their patients<br />

every day to outpatient<br />

physical therapy for musculoskeletal<br />

injuries, aches<br />

and pains, balance deficits<br />

and even vestibular issues.<br />

Most of the time patients<br />

assume they have to go to<br />

the physical therapist clinic<br />

in the doctor’s building or<br />

the clinic closest to home.<br />

There is a wide variety of<br />

care available from physician-owned<br />

clinics to large<br />

corporate chains to private<br />

physical therapist-owned<br />

clinics.<br />

There is a choice!<br />

Choosing the right physical<br />

therapist is critical to<br />

recovery. It may be helpful<br />

to seek referrals from<br />

friends or family members<br />

that have had successful<br />

outcomes. Word of mouth<br />

referrals are sometimes the<br />

best.<br />

People should spend at<br />

least one hour a visit with<br />

a physical therapist two<br />

to three times per week.<br />

Personality is important!<br />

People want a physical<br />

therapist with whom they<br />

can clearly communicate,<br />

one who spends quality<br />

time with them and pushes<br />

them to achieve their goals.<br />

Feel free to interview the<br />

physical therapist prior to<br />

the first visit to see if you<br />

are a match.<br />

Credentials are equally<br />

important. Make sure a<br />

licensed physical therapist<br />

is doing the treatment<br />

and use the same therapist<br />

each visit to ensure quality<br />

care. Many physical<br />

therapists can specialize<br />

through continuing education<br />

in a variety of services<br />

and can be board certified<br />

in orthopedics, sports, and<br />

neurology, to name a few.<br />

Always question what the<br />

physical therapist’s experience<br />

level is when it comes<br />

to a specific injury.<br />

Ask what insurances<br />

are not only “accephysical<br />

therapisted” but innetwork<br />

with the company.<br />

People should ask for<br />

their benefits to be fully<br />

explained and in writing<br />

before beginning treatment.<br />

If one’s insurance<br />

has a high out-of-pocket<br />

cost, ask if there are selfpay<br />

rates available. People<br />

don’t want to be stuck with<br />

a surprise bill.<br />

Doing a little research<br />

before beginning treatment<br />

can lead to a faster road to<br />

recovery and a better overall<br />

outcome. Successful<br />

physical therapy can help<br />

avoid surgery and prevent<br />

future injury.<br />

“It’s your physical<br />

therapy, it’s your decision<br />

has” been our motto since<br />

we opened 10 years ago.<br />

TheraCORE strives to provide<br />

the best personalized<br />

experience for our patients<br />

in an environment that encourages<br />

overall wellness.<br />

The next time physical<br />

therapy services are needed,<br />

choose TheraCORE<br />

and let us prove how we<br />

stand apart.<br />

Ask Cary: Parenting parents with Alzheimer’s disease<br />

Here’s a question: Gradually<br />

I’m becoming a parent for my<br />

parent; is it normal to feel anxious<br />

and overwhelmed?<br />

The answer? Yes, it’s very<br />

normal to be anxious, feel<br />

guilty and feel overwhelmed.<br />

In this new role you will have<br />

many feelings that you will<br />

work through. Many families<br />

find it helpful to seek support,<br />

education and sharing with others<br />

in the same situation.<br />

This is a journey that will<br />

evolve and change day to day<br />

as the disease progresses. You<br />

are joining your parent on this<br />

journey and the more you understand<br />

it the easier it will be,<br />

not only for yourself but for<br />

your loved one as well.<br />

Jack Gibbons Gardens all about traditions, not trends<br />

Jack Gibbons Gardens<br />

does not follow trends.<br />

Diners are not going<br />

to witness Happy Hours<br />

or Margarita Mondays at<br />

Jack Gibbons.<br />

That is because Jack<br />

Gibbons focuses on what<br />

really matters: great food<br />

and even better company.<br />

The restaurant reportedly<br />

has customers who say<br />

they have not been there<br />

for 25-30 years but come<br />

back and it is just the way<br />

they remember it.<br />

Jack Gibbons Gardens<br />

— or Gibbons, as the<br />

regulars call it — opened<br />

in 1922 as a speakeasy.<br />

Although times have<br />

changed drastically since<br />

then, the restaurant itself<br />

has not. From the<br />

red leather booths to the<br />

wood-paneled walls, Jack<br />

Gibbons is truly timeless.<br />

In a time where chain<br />

restaurants are on every<br />

corner, Gibbons has become<br />

even more special<br />

and unique. From the second<br />

a diner sits and is instantly<br />

delivered delicious<br />

warm bread, three-bean<br />

salad and coleslaw, before<br />

even a glance at the menu,<br />

it is easy to know one is<br />

about to have one of the<br />

best meals of his or her<br />

life. From surf and turf to<br />

fried chicken, Gibbons has<br />

something to satisfy any<br />

craving.<br />

Gibbons has been described<br />

as a “generational<br />

place” that sees everyone<br />

from grandfathers and fathers<br />

to their grandchildren<br />

who dine there.<br />

A secret to that success<br />

is that the restaurant’s staff<br />

does not experience the<br />

type of turnover seen in<br />

some chain restaurants. Its<br />

employees have worked<br />

there for years, striving<br />

for a “Cheers” vibe<br />

with which the bartender<br />

knows the customers,<br />

what they’re having, and<br />

the friends they bring with<br />

them.<br />

UChicago Medicine Ingalls Memorial<br />

helps nurse through knee replacement<br />

Katherine Krol is a lady who<br />

doesn’t have much time to put up<br />

her feet. She keeps an eye on her<br />

92-year-old mother and keeps in<br />

touch with the activities of her<br />

sister, her adult children and four<br />

grandchildren regularly.<br />

Recently widowed, Katherine<br />

also works as a registered nurse.<br />

So, when her right knee started<br />

hurting nine years ago, she powered<br />

through the pain and sought<br />

some initial treatment, but the<br />

pain returned and was soon intolerable.<br />

“Every time I walked, I had<br />

pain,” Katherine said.<br />

It hurt to walk down the hallway<br />

when her patients needed<br />

something and when her grandkids<br />

would say, ‘Nana, come do<br />

this,’ she couldn’t.<br />

A friend recommended Phil<br />

Nigro, MD, an orthopedic surgeon<br />

with offices in Tinley Park,<br />

Flossmoor and Calumet City, all<br />

affiliated with UChicago Medicine<br />

Ingalls Memorial. Dr. Nigro<br />

performed her friend’s knee<br />

replacement and she loved his<br />

bedside manner.<br />

Dr. Nigro said Katherine’s<br />

knee was bone-on-bone, meaning<br />

the cartilage had completely<br />

worn away between the bone<br />

ends. Katherine was ready to get<br />

the problem solved.<br />

She had knee replacement surgery<br />

in November, in a procedure<br />

called kinematic alignment,<br />

which Dr. Nigro brought into his<br />

practice in the last two years. It<br />

allows the knee joint bones to be<br />

resurfaced without cutting ligaments<br />

around the knee.<br />

“This is a more natural knee<br />

replacement that allows people<br />

to recover more quickly,” Dr.<br />

Nigro said.<br />

Celebrate Mother’s Day at Gibbons Sunday May 13 th<br />

STEAKS • CHOPS•PRIME RIB<br />

Katherine went into surgery<br />

prep at 7 a.m. and was back in<br />

her room by 10 a.m. “They had<br />

me up and walking at 2:30,” she<br />

said.<br />

Dr. Nigro released Katherine<br />

the next day. Though she wasn’t<br />

able to host Thanksgiving, she<br />

gave up her walker the very next<br />

day, urged by her daughter.<br />

“I needed that scolding,” she<br />

said. “It was scary.”<br />

The first day back at work<br />

Katherine parked on the garage’s<br />

second floor. She cringed, remembering<br />

the pain she used<br />

to have climbing the stairs. Not<br />

anymore, though.<br />

“It was so nice not to have any<br />

pain,” she said.<br />

Dr. Finkelstein provides estrogen-free vaginal restoration<br />

To many women, natural<br />

is better.<br />

We are buying more<br />

foods free of chemicals<br />

and pesticides, skincare<br />

products free of synthetic<br />

fragrances and cleaning<br />

supplies without phthalates.<br />

This belief also translates<br />

to how women care<br />

for themselves post-menopause.<br />

Women are looking<br />

for safe, natural ways to<br />

combat the effects of their<br />

changing bodies.<br />

For anyone who has<br />

been through it, menopause<br />

has many side effects.<br />

Some are commonly<br />

discussed, such as hot<br />

flashes, changes in mood<br />

and night sweats. One of<br />

the most common side effects<br />

isn’t being discussed<br />

enough, and that is vaginal<br />

atrophy. Vaginal atrophy<br />

is vaginal dryness, itching,<br />

burning and pain with<br />

intercourse. According to<br />

the American Academy of<br />

Family Physicians, up to<br />

40 percent of post-menopausal<br />

women have atrophic<br />

vaginitis or vaginal<br />

atrophy. With nearly 64<br />

million post-menopausal<br />

patients, many women are<br />

suffering.<br />

“These symptoms greatly<br />

impact a woman’s quality<br />

of life,” said Dr. Kenneth<br />

Finkelstein, founder<br />

of Women’s Healthcare of<br />

Illinois in Mokena and Evergreen<br />

Park. “As someone<br />

who has taken care<br />

of women for over twenty<br />

years, I have watched<br />

countless patients live with<br />

discomfort and struggle<br />

with intimacy; it’s unacceptable.<br />

Many women<br />

don’t want to or cannot<br />

use estrogen creams. Now<br />

there is a natural, FDA-approved<br />

treatment for vaginal<br />

atrophy.<br />

Vaginal restoration<br />

performed at Women’s<br />

Healthcare of Illinois, is<br />

an estrogen-free treatment<br />

for vaginal atrophy.<br />

Performed in the office,<br />

without the need for anesthesia<br />

and with virtually<br />

no pain or side effects, a<br />

gentle fractional CO2 laser<br />

restores vaginal health by<br />

generating new collagen<br />

and elastin in the vaginal<br />

wall tissue. There are<br />

three treatments spaced<br />

six weeks apart, and each<br />

treatment is less than five<br />

minutes.<br />

“After living with vaginal<br />

atrophy for nearly<br />

three decades due to a hysterectomy<br />

with a bilateral<br />

salpingo-oophorectomy,<br />

(removal of the uterus, fallopian<br />

tubes and ovaries)<br />

in my mid 30s, I had all but<br />

given up on pain-free intimacy<br />

with my husband,”<br />

said Susan Schreffler, a<br />

patient of Dr. Finkelstein.<br />

“I have a history of<br />

breast cancer in my family,<br />

and I decided estrogen<br />

cream was not an option<br />

for me. I only wanted a<br />

hormone-free treatment.<br />

I had little to lose and<br />

scheduled a free consultation<br />

with Dr. Finkelstein.<br />

During the appointment,<br />

Dr. Finkelstein answered<br />

all my questions and<br />

made me feel comfortable.<br />

I decided to get my<br />

first treatment at my consultation.<br />

I was amazed<br />

by the results. After my<br />

first treatment I felt relief.<br />

I have now completed all<br />

three treatments and I can<br />

say for the first time in 30<br />

years I am not suffering<br />

from vaginal atrophy.”<br />

“Unlike hot flashes, insomnia<br />

and night sweats,<br />

vaginal atrophy remains<br />

after a women’s transition<br />

through menopause is<br />

complete. It is gratifying<br />

to offer patients a natural,<br />

Smile<br />

make a statement?<br />

The smile is so important that it has been<br />

mentioned to be sure to smile and smile often<br />

in some of the most well regarded business<br />

books of our time. People judge us by our teeth<br />

and smiles. Those with a bright smile often<br />

Planet Fitness offers judgment-free workout environment<br />

We at Planet Fitness are<br />

here to provide a unique<br />

environment in which<br />

anyone — and we mean<br />

anyone — can be comfortable.<br />

We offer a diverse,<br />

judgment-free zone where<br />

a lasting, active lifestyle<br />

can be built. Our product<br />

is a tool, a means to an<br />

end; not a brand name or a<br />

mold-maker, but a tool that<br />

can be used by anyone. In<br />

the end, it’s all about you.<br />

As we evolve and educate<br />

ourselves, we will see to<br />

perfect safe, energetic environment,<br />

where everyone<br />

feels accepted and respected.<br />

We are not here to<br />

kiss your butt, only to kick<br />

it if that’s what you need.<br />

So, make yourself comfy.<br />

Because we’re judgment<br />

free. It doesn’t matter<br />

if your legs have never<br />

seen a squat machine before.<br />

We believe how you<br />

work out is totally up to<br />

you. Take advantage of our<br />

unlimited fitness training<br />

programs or just do your<br />

own thing on the treadmill.<br />

We’ll cheer you on either<br />

way — if you’re in our<br />

house you deserve a little<br />

cred just for being here.<br />

We believe no one should<br />

ever feel Gym-timidated<br />

by lunky behavior and that<br />

everyone should feel at<br />

ease in our gyms, no matter<br />

what his or her workout<br />

goals are. And everyone<br />

should have access to lots<br />

of nice new equipment and<br />

feel comfortable asking for<br />

help. With all of these great<br />

benefits under one roof, we<br />

like to say: “We’re not a<br />

gym. We’re Planet Fitness.<br />

The Judgment Free Zone.”<br />

Planet Fitness is known<br />

for a lot of things — our<br />

low prices (and all the stuff<br />

you get for those low prices),<br />

our Lunk Alarm, and of<br />

course, our judgment-free<br />

zone. We’re fiercely protective<br />

of our Planet and<br />

the rights of our members<br />

to feel like they belong. So,<br />

we create an environment<br />

where you can relax, go<br />

at your own pace and just<br />

do your own thing without<br />

ever having to worry about<br />

being judged. This is your<br />

Planet. You belong.<br />

“Old Faithful Inn,” which<br />

the Yellowstone River<br />

breathtaking scenery and<br />

wildlife. They’ll spend two<br />

travelers can enjoy a scenic<br />

float trip on the Snake<br />

River. Travelers get to experience<br />

a chuck wagon<br />

feast and another night of<br />

beauty under the stars.<br />

mystery day to top off the<br />

five-day adventure.<br />

Later in October is a<br />

Michigan for a great<br />

Bavarian getaway that features<br />

Looking ahead to 2019<br />
