<strong>Lady</strong> - A Women’s Expo to return April<br />
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 />
LADY – A WOMEN’S EXPO: FOUR HACKS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR VISIT<br />
JON DEPAOLIS<br />
Freelance Reporter<br />
A lot of people will be<br />
strolling through the<br />
aisles Saturday, April 21,<br />
for the fifth annual <strong>Lady</strong><br />
– A Women’s Expo. We<br />
asked Heather Warthen,<br />
22nd Century Media’s<br />
chief events officer and<br />
resident expert expo<br />
authority, for some<br />
“hacks” for those who<br />
plan to attend, so they<br />
can make best use of<br />
their time there.<br />
1. Scout ahead: Take a<br />
look at the event’s<br />
Eventbrite webpage<br />
before you head to<br />
the convention center.<br />
It will have the full<br />
list of vendors, an<br />
event schedule for<br />
the fitness classes,<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 />
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 />
cooking demos<br />
and main stage<br />
entertainment. Map<br />
out some things you<br />
definitely want to do<br />
and save yourself<br />
some idle time.<br />
2. Arrive early to get<br />
some swag: Have<br />
you ever heard the<br />
expression, “The early<br />
bird gets the worm?”<br />
Well, in this case,<br />
early arrivers have<br />
the best chance at<br />
receiving a free gift<br />
bag. There only are<br />
500 of these bad<br />
boys, so the closer you<br />
arrive to 9 a.m., the<br />
better your chance to<br />
pick one up.<br />
3. Be a trendsetter;<br />
go against the flow:<br />
Warthen says that<br />
oftentimes, expogoers<br />
tend to follow a<br />
similar path through<br />
the aisles, leading to<br />
some congestion at<br />
certain spots. One way<br />
to avoid that? Be a<br />
trailblazer and walk in<br />
the opposite direction,<br />
by working from the<br />
back to the front.<br />
4. Don’t be a hero,<br />
choose comfort<br />
over style: If those<br />
boots aren’t made<br />
for walking, leave<br />
them at home.<br />
With approximately<br />
100 vendors and<br />
some serious<br />
entertainment,<br />
odds are your daily<br />
step count is going<br />
to exceed your<br />
goal. Wear some<br />
comfortable shoes.<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 />

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 />
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 is<br />
better.<br />
We are buying more foods free<br />
of chemicals and pesticides, skincare<br />
products free of synthetic<br />
fragrances and cleaning supplies<br />
without phthalates. This belief<br />
also translates to how women<br />
care for themselves post-menopause.<br />
Women are looking for<br />
safe, natural ways to combat the<br />
effects of their changing bodies.<br />
For anyone who has been<br />
through it, menopause has many<br />
side effects. Some are commonly<br />
discussed, such as hot flashes,<br />
changes in mood and night<br />
sweats. One of the most common<br />
side effects isn’t being discussed<br />
enough, and that is vaginal atrophy.<br />
Vaginal atrophy is vaginal<br />
dryness, itching, burning and<br />
pain with intercourse. According<br />
to the American Academy of<br />
Family Physicians, up to 40 percent<br />
of post-menopausal women<br />
have atrophic vaginitis or vaginal<br />
atrophy. With nearly 64 million<br />
post-menopausal patients,<br />
many women are suffering.<br />
“These symptoms greatly impact<br />
a woman’s quality of life,”<br />
said Dr. Kenneth Finkelstein,<br />
founder of Women’s Healthcare<br />
of Illinois in Mokena and Evergreen<br />
Park. “As someone who<br />
has taken care of women for over<br />
twenty years, I have watched<br />
countless patients live with discomfort<br />
and struggle with intimacy;<br />
it’s unacceptable. Many<br />
women don’t want to or cannot<br />
use estrogen creams. Now there<br />
is a natural, FDA-approved treatment<br />
for vaginal atrophy.<br />
Vaginal restoration performed<br />
at Women’s Healthcare of Illinois,<br />
is an estrogen-free treatment<br />
for vaginal atrophy. Performed<br />
in the office, without<br />
the need for anesthesia and with<br />
virtually no pain or side effects,<br />
a gentle fractional CO2 laser restores<br />
vaginal health by generat-<br />

ing new collagen and elastin in<br />
the vaginal wall tissue. There<br />
are three treatments spaced six<br />
weeks apart, and each treatment<br />
is less than five minutes.<br />
“After living with vaginal atrophy<br />
for nearly three decades<br />
due to a hysterectomy with a<br />
bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy,<br />
(removal of the uterus, fallopian<br />
tubes and ovaries) in my<br />
mid 30s, I had all but given up<br />
on pain-free intimacy with my<br />
husband,” said Susan Schreffler,<br />
a patient of Dr. Finkelstein.<br />
“I have a history of breast cancer<br />
in my family, and I decided<br />
estrogen cream was not an option<br />
for me. I only wanted a hormonefree<br />
treatment. I had little to lose<br />
and scheduled a free consultation<br />
with Dr. Finkelstein. During<br />
the appointment, Dr. Finkelstein<br />
answered all my questions and<br />
made me feel comfortable. I decided<br />
to get my first treatment at<br />
my consultation. I was amazed<br />
by the results. After my first treatment<br />
I felt relief. I have now<br />
completed all three treatments<br />
and I can say for the first time in<br />
30 years I am not suffering from<br />
vaginal atrophy.”<br />
“Unlike hot flashes, insomnia<br />
and night sweats, vaginal atrophy<br />
remains after a women’s<br />
transition through menopause is<br />
complete. It is gratifying to offer<br />
patients a natural, hormone-free<br />
solution,” Dr. Finkelstein added.<br />

Ask Cary: Parenting parents with Alzheimer’s<br />
Here’s a question:<br />
Gradually I’m becoming<br />
a parent for my parent; is<br />
it normal to feel anxious<br />
and overwhelmed?<br />
The answer? Yes, it’s<br />
very normal to be anxious,<br />
feel guilty and feel<br />
overwhelmed. In this<br />
new role you will have<br />
many feelings that you<br />
will work through. Many<br />
families find it helpful to<br />
seek support, education<br />
and sharing with others<br />
in the same situation.<br />
This is a journey that<br />
will evolve and change<br />
day to day as the disease<br />
progresses. You are joining<br />
your parent on this<br />
journey and the more you<br />
understand it the easier it<br />
will be, not only for yourself<br />
but for your loved<br />
one as well.<br />
Please know that I am<br />
available as a resource<br />
for you personally and<br />
professionally, now and/<br />
or in the future.<br />

TheraCORE Physical<br />
Therapy seeks a personalized,<br />
comforting patient experience<br />
Do people know they have a choice<br />
where they can attend physical therapy?<br />
Doctors refer their patients every day to outpatient<br />
physical therapy for musculoskeletal<br />
injuries, aches and pains, balance deficits<br />
and even vestibular issues. Most of the time<br />
patients assume they have to go to the physical<br />
therapist clinic in the doctor’s building<br />
or the clinic closest to home. There is a wide<br />
variety of care available from physicianowned<br />
clinics to large corporate chains to<br />
private physical therapist-owned clinics.<br />
There is a choice! Choosing the right<br />
physical therapist is critical to recovery.<br />
It may be helpful to seek referrals from<br />
friends or family members that have had<br />
successful outcomes. Word of mouth referrals<br />
are sometimes the best.<br />
People should spend at least one hour a<br />
visit with a physical therapist two to three<br />
times per week. Personality is important!<br />
People want a physical therapist with<br />
whom they can clearly communicate, one<br />
who spends quality time with them and<br />
pushes them to achieve their goals. Feel<br />
free to interview the physical therapist prior<br />
to the first visit to see if you are a match.<br />
Credentials are equally important.<br />
Make sure a licensed physical therapist<br />
is doing the treatment and use the same<br />
therapist each visit to ensure quality care.<br />
Many physical therapists can specialize<br />
through continuing education in a variety<br />
of services and can be board certified<br />
in orthopedics, sports, and neurology, to<br />
name a few. Always question what the<br />
physical therapist’s experience level is<br />
when it comes to a specific injury.<br />
Ask what insurances are not only “accephysical<br />
therapisted” but in-network<br />
with the company. People should ask for<br />
their benefits to be fully explained and<br />
in writing before beginning treatment. If<br />
one’s insurance has a high out-of-pocket<br />
cost, ask if there are self-pay rates available.<br />
People don’t want to be stuck with a<br />
surprise bill.<br />
Doing a little research before beginning<br />
treatment can lead to a faster road to recovery<br />
and a better overall outcome. Successful<br />
physical therapy can help avoid surgery<br />
and prevent future injury.<br />
“It’s your physical therapy, it’s your<br />
decision has” been our motto since we<br />
opened 10 years ago. TheraCORE strives<br />
to provide the best personalized experience<br />
for our patients in an environment<br />
that encourages overall wellness. The<br />
next time physical therapy services are<br />
needed, choose TheraCORE and let us<br />
prove how we stand apart.<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 />
Celebrate Mother’s Day at Gibbons Sunday May 13 th<br />
STEAKS • CHOPS•PRIME RIB<br />
SEAFOOD•CHICKEN•RIBS<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 />

Planet Fitness offers judgement-free, quality<br />
workout environment at an affordable price<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 />
ALL Women.<br />
Try us Today!<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 />
