The Village of Glenview, located approximately 25 miles north of Chicago is the site where Ed Koenig and Norma Strey-Koenig fi rst started Koenig & Strey back in 1961. While many things have changed in 51

years, Glenview still remains a great place to live and work. Natural parklands, beautiful Lake Glenview, and fantastic shopping districts now defi ne this former military town. Golf courses such as North Shore Country Club, retail malls such as The Glen, and major employers are nearby and highlight the wonderful neighborhood that exists in Glenview.

Tips on How to Protect Children from Cyberbullying The mass proliferation of Internet and communication technologies has made it possible for adolescents to remain in constant

contact with one another. When the school day ends, tools such as texting, instant messaging, email and cell phones provide a broad technological playground in which teens can interact and hopefully grow.

Communication and Internet technology use among teens not only fosters social interaction but also promotes technological skill development – critical for the teen as he or she matures into adulthood. While the expansion of technology has created new opportunities for interaction among adolescents and their peers, it has also created a new foundation for bullying: cyberbullying. Cyberbullying results when bullying tactics such as name calling, harassment and spreading rumors transpire via internet and communication technologies. This type of bullying takes place in “real time,” and can make it diffi cult for the individual to escape. In the past, bullying that occurred in schools typically ended when the student went home for the evening or weekend. Cyberbullying, on the other hand, continues beyond the borders of the school, creating a situation in which the teen may feel as if he or she cannot escape being bullied. Cyberbullying has implications for the physical health and well being of the victim. While increased anxiety and stress are common in victims of bullying, cyberbullying

may continually perpetuate these symptoms for the victim as the process reaches into the home outside of normal school hours. For this reason, cyberbullying may have more of a detrimental impact on the victim because of its duration. For parents and caregivers, the simplest option for protecting their children may be to restrict use of Internet and communication devices. Even though this approach may limit the victim’s exposure to bullying, the reality is that these tactics will not protect the victim from the scope, reach or extent of cyberbullies. Additionally, psychological research has consistently demonstrated that most adolescents prefer to deal with cyberbullying on their own. As a result, many will not confi de in their parents regarding the problem. Given the fact that many parents may not know their children are being cyberbullied, the challenge is to create an environment in which cyberbullying may be detected before it becomes detrimental to the health and well being of their child. What this suggests is that parents may not be able to be able prevent cyberbullying altogether and further they may not even be able to encourage their children to talk to them about the problem when it occurs. However, parents can carefully monitor certain aspects of their child’s computer and phone use to identify incidents of cyberbullying. In addition, parents can work to create strong relationships with their children so that communication about important issues is possible. One pertinent approach to identifying cyberbullying is for parents to locate computers in a common area of the home, such as the living room. Locating a family computer in a common area will enable parents to review the computer’s history

to determine if problems have occurred. In addition, this tactic will also limit the child’s privacy, making it possible to detect problems. Additionally, parents should consider setting up email and chat accounts with their children. While some teens may be unwilling at fi rst, parents should remind their children that they wouldn’t use the information to invade their privacy. The information should be used if problems arise or when cyberbullying is suspected. Even though both of these approaches will help parents detect cyberbullying, communication with children and teens is a foundational component of prevention. Specifi cally, parents should talk to their teens about whose names are on their chat, text and email lists. Parents should not only be able to identify names but also should ask their teen how they know a particular person. During conversations with teens, parents

should also ask if their teen is aware of cyberbullying, if they have experienced it or if they know someone that has been a victim. Although communication with adolescents can be diffi cult, parents can be a vital source of information and support. Let teens know that cyberbullying is wrong, and reassure them that it is not their fault. Preventing cyberbullying is a sizable challenge for parents, one that requires a proactive approach. Adolescents often do not recognize the threats they face and may be unwilling to allow their parents to help. By following some simple steps, parents can keep their kids safe while building positive and healthy relationships.

I’m standing at the Roanoke Outlook, just beneath the Mill Mountain Star. It’s the world’s largest freestanding illuminated man-made star, constructed in 1949, and I’m

looking out on the magnifi cent Roanoke Valley. It’s beautiful here, but there’s still more to do at the Outlook. Like marvel at wild animals at the Mill Mountain Zoological Park. Or hike along the Appalachian

Trail. Or see the Discovery Center, with its interactive exhibits of environmental education. Called the best outdoor town on the East Coast, Roanoke is a fascinating place to visit. Filled with history and art museums, as well as the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, I could have stayed longer than just a few days.

Downtown Roanoke – Where History Comes Alive The showpiece of the city is Hotel Roanoke, built in 1882 around the time railroad was king, and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The elegant ambience preserves the nostalgic feel of a historical railroad hotel with contemporary amenities. Guests and locals alike enjoy Regency Room dining with their famous signature dish, peanut soup and spoon bread, served since the hotel opened. For convenience, the hotel is connected to the downtown area by a pedestrian walkway. Hotelroanoke.com. Roanoke also has a world-class art museum in its midst. Showcasing modern American

art with decorative arts, folk and regional art, the Taubman Museum of Art boasts more than 2,000 permanent works. The structure is a work of art unto itself. I loved the collection of Judith Leiber handbags, especially the personalized Roanoke Star Clutch decorative she created for the city. Taubmanmuseum.org. History buffs will enjoy walking along the Railwalk – a convenient half-mile trek along an outdoor museum featuring interactive signage, displays and whistles – detailing Roanoke’s railroad history to the present day. I learned more about famous railroad photographers at the O. Winston Link Museum, located in the former Norfolk & Western Railway Station. The museum features a brief fi lm and collection of photography from a man whose passion for the rail is now preserved for generations. Virginia’s Blue Ridge Driving along the parkway, I couldn’t help but get caught up in its serene majesty. The 469 miles of Blue Ridge Parkway is a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road, the most visited in the U.S. National Park System. Smith Mountain Lake, the “Jewel of the Blue Ridge Mountains,” is where the recent Hallmark original movie “Lake Effects” was fi lmed. The resort is fi lled with lots of family-friendly activities. Also along the parkway is the Booker T. Washington National Monument, where you can learn more about this prominent African American educator and orator.

The Crooked Road – Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail Traditional bluegrass, old-time string bands and gospel music are the soul of Virginia. Experience authentic mountain music at

its birthplace, along the 300 miles of The Crooked Road. At the Blue Ridge Institute and Museum of Ferrum College in Rocky Mount, learn all about Appalachian folklore and culture. Music festivals are held year-round. So no matter when you go, the crafts, quilts, coon dog races, horse pulls, vintage farm machinery, car culture, and old-time foods are a great way to get a feel for these traditions. Crookedroad.org. Find your way to Roanoke this fall and be a

“leaf peeper.” It promises to be quite a show. Visitroanokeva.com; virginia.org.

I like to cook “seasonally” whenever possible. Taking advantage of whatever is grown locally is also a plus. You can’t drive more than 20 minutes without seeing fresh

pumpkins, sold right after they’ve been cut from the vine. There are all kinds of fresh, local produce available for those who take the time to fi nd them. It’s tasty, healthy and supports our local farm community.

Let’s get back to the pumpkin. I’d like to highlight its versatility with a dessert that you may not have considered – pumpkin crème brulee. While this recipe is not really diffi cult, it is one of those dishes that require your complete attention. So no texting or talking on the phone while making it, please. Not being in constant contact with the world for 30 minutes isn’t going to kill you. Plus, when you fi nally do connect with the world and tell them what you made, I’m sure you’ll get a ton of “likes.”

Pumpkin Brulee (makes 10-12 servings)4 cups heavy cream2 tsp vanilla extract16 egg yolks (save the whites for an omelet)¼ cup light brown sugar¾ cup sugar1 tsp cinnamon¼ tsp salt⅛ tsp ground cloves 1 cup fresh pumpkin (boiled and pureed)¼ cup sugar (for top)10-12 medium-sized ramekins[1] Heat oven to 325. [2] Take a good slice

of pumpkin and cut it into pieces. Boil those pieces until they become soft. [3] Remove pumpkin from pot, and puree until creamy. [4] In a heavy saucepan, heat the heavy cream and vanilla over a medium heat. Bring to a simmer. [5] In a medium bowl, whisk your egg yolks. [6] Add the brown sugar, white sugar (3/4 cup), cinnamon, salt, cloves and cup of pumpkin puree to the bowl. [7] Slowly pour a cup of the heated cream mixture into the egg mixture, stirring constantly. [8] Now pour the contents of that bowl into the saucepan containing the remaining cream mixture, and whisk briskly for one minute. [9] Pour into ramekins. [10] Arrange ramekins in a roasting pan. Fill pan with water until halfway up the ramekin. [11] Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until set. Now cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least four hours before serving. [12] Just before serving, those with brulee torches can sprinkle a little sugar over each for caramelizing. Serve immediately and enjoy!

By now, you’re probably just about settled into the back-to-school routine. If your child with special needs is anything like Joey, he or she is likely begging for something fun to help unwind after a long day or week in the classroom. Watching your kids acquire new knowledge might also have you yearning for a useful way to enhance your skill set. This edition of “Special Needs, Special Times” has ideas for bringing more personal fulfi llment into both of your lives. This late autumn and upcoming early winter, the Northern Suburban Special Recreation Association is living up to its belief that fun is for everyone with a full slate of exciting programs. NSSRA participants include adults and children with mental, physical, emotional or other disabilities, visual impairments or behavior disorders, as well as individuals who are on the autism spectrum, who are deaf or hard of hearing, or who have debilitating conditions such as Multiple Sclerosis or Alzheimer’s disease. On Dec. 8, NSSRA will hold a special themed Afternoon Adventures session for ages 7-12 at the Legoland Discovery Center. Registrants are invited to step inside and feel as though they’ve just jumped in to the world’s biggest box of LEGO bricks – more than three million blocks, in fact. The deadline to register is Nov. 16. Signups will be taken until Nov. 2. One week earlier, teens and adults are the center attraction Dec. 1 at the annual NSSRA Bowling Tournament. Pizza, soda pop, mingling with friends and other SRAs, and spending the day competing with fellow bowlers are all on tap. For those who want to learn more about the hundreds of other programs the association offers, a Cultural Arts Open House takes place the evening of Nov. 29. This free event features performances from current NSSRA

Cultural Arts programs such as Choir, Drama and Ukulele Therapy, as well as an artwork showcase from other NSSRA programs. Complimentary activities and refreshments are provided. Nssra.org. Another organization I’d like to bring to readers’ attention is the Special Education District of Lake County (SEDOL). SEDOL’s mission is to provide educational programs for children with moderate to very severe disabilities, ranging from birth to age 22 who reside within about 400 square miles of Lake County. At the district’s John Powers Center, applications are being taken for the next session of the popular Sign Language Classes. Both Sign Class I and II are offered weekly, for a total of eight weeks. The next session is slated to begin Jan. 23. Sedol.k12.il.us If you would like to see your organization featured in our upcoming reports, email information to [email protected].

Pam and Tony Gordon founded Gordon Salons in 1999. They always knew they wanted to go into business together and after Pam graduated from Mac Daniels School of Cosmetology they opened their fi rst salon. After thirteen years in business they now own three salons throughout

Chicago and the Northshore. “It was always important to us that our family revolve around our careers so we created a business that allowed us to do this,” Pam shared. Tony’s grandmother was very infl uential on Pam’s choice to become a stylist. “Tony’s grandmother was the one that encouraged me the most, she was a fantastic woman who had her own salon in Hyde Park, so she knew what kind of life it would allow me to have as a mother, stylist, and business woman.” Pam has a true passion for hair and feels she chose the perfect profession because it allows her to give back to others and the community.

October 2012WH! Glenview14 women in businessBuild Your Brand to Stay Competitive in Today’s Market Building a brand is essential for small businesses hoping to thrive in a competitive business market. Because consumers are still pinching pennies and looking to stretch every dollar, today’s market is as competitive as ever. A brand can be used to effectively explain to potential customers what you and your products provide, as well as how you and your products differ from those offered by competitors. When building a brand, one of the fi rst things a small business owner must do is defi ne his or her brand – essential, but not always easy. The following tips can help small business owners defi ne their brand.

Understand and explain your mission. Small business owners clearly want to make money, but the mission of the company should go beyond padding a bank account. This mission should defi ne the company’s reason for being. Try to write why the company exists in a few short sentences, then ask others in the company to do the same. For example, if your company is making an eco-friendly alternative to a popular product, then explain that your mission is to provide consumers with eco-friendly alternatives to traditional products. Explain your philosophy and keep in mind that your mission might change as your company evolves.

Explain why your product is benefi cial. Another step to defi ning a brand is to explain why it’s necessary. This includes describing product features and services provided. You want to separate your product and your company from its competitors, so be as specifi c as possible.

Know your customers. It helps to know who your customers are and what they want.

Thanks to the Internet, customer feedback and consumer opinion is now easier to attain than ever before. While direct feedback on your product is benefi cial, you can also visit online forums in which consumers discuss their experiences, both good and bad, with other products and other companies. Use that information to your advantage, and never assume you know what your customers want. Understanding your customers is an ongoing process, as their needs and wants are likely to evolve over time. Stay on top of knowing what your customers want so you can continue to meet those needs. Think about what you want your company’s reputation to be. Branding also involves managing your company’s reputation. You want existing customers to react positively when thinking about you, your company and your products. Courteous, attentive and professional customer service goes a long way, as does adhering to your company’s mission. You not only want customers to be return customers, but you also want them to speak positively of you to their friends and family.

Seek help. Defi ning a brand isn’t easy, and if you’re struggling to turn a great product into a successful brand, then don’t be afraid to seek help. Many communities recognize the important role small businesses play in a local economy, and such communities routinely host small business forums and discussions aimed at helping small business owners thrive. In addition, seek advice from established small business owners in your area, who might be able to share both their good and bad experiences, helping you avoid certain mistakes they made when starting out.

You could make a point that Carlos & Carlos, by virtue of dishes like black angel hair pasta with shrimp and scallops in champagne cream lobster sauce, is one of the

most authentic northern Italian restaurants north of the city. Or you can argue that Carlos & Carlos, by offering such specialties as veal Paillard with mushrooms in a bordelaise garlic sauce, is a reliable

destination for legitimate French cooking. What is undeniable, however, is that part Italian, part French, all appealing Carlos & Carlos is a consistently fi rst-rate restaurant. Cool in appearance and contemporary in its perspective of food, it has the menu and mojo to appease the cognoscente of both cuisines. The pasta and veal are examples of the balance and integrity that distinguishes the fare. Northern Italian trademarks like lighter sauces, more herbs and less tomatoes are evident. As are the subtle sauces, delicate contrasts and other nuances synonymous with French bistros and brasseries. Carlos & Carlos came along 18 months ago in downtown Arlington Heights, its third location since 1985 following stops in Chicago and Bensenville. La Tavola, a sister trattoria, made its debut in Niles in May. Until it closed recently, Capriccio’s in Northfi eld also belonged to this group that includes restaurants, coffee and nut plantations in

Central America. There’s only one Carlos behind the double name – veteran restaurateur Carlos Montiel, whose assistants are brothers Mario and Eddy, the chef at La Tavola. The kitchen in Arlington Heights is in the capable hands of chef Sergio Gutierrez. C&C struts what Italians like to call “una bella fi gura,” or a beautiful fi gure. Atmosphere is along the lines of a casual, semi-sophisticated bistro with a brick wall, wine racks embedded in the walls, black ceiling that matches black tablecloths, colorful bar and windows overlooking the passing scene. In one corner of the 96-seat room is a pasta machine that provides a sideshow. Diners observe as dough is rolled into spaghetti, ravioli and other noodles, a visual production of freshness that translates into refreshing fl avors. Dining gets underway with complimentary bowls of a tasty tapenade of pureed anchovies, olives and garlic, plus a zesty gorgonzola and butter spread. Smear them on a chunk of warm, crusty bread while sipping on a cocktail or wine and your palate gets primed for courses to come. A star among the starters is Scallops Pistachio, with plump, pan-roasted morsels encrusted with fi nely chopped nuts and infused with roasted pepper sauce with a tropical hint. The dainty scallops easily embrace the assertive pepper mixture tempered with the saccharine tone of mango and pineapple relish. Pasta and seafood are in harmony in Linguine Pescatore as shrimp, scallops, mussels and clams integrate nicely with the

al dente ribbons. The fl avor is amplifi ed with shaved garlic and basil in a slightly acidic marinara sauce. Further proof of the kitchen’s expertise with fi sh is Salmon Carlos, a properly pink fi llet broiled and bolstered with sharp Dijon mustard glaze counteracted with a splash of sweet-sour sesame ginger vinaigrette. Northern in origin and bristling with character is Veal Chop Milanese, a hefty hunk lightly pounded, dusted with seasoned breadcrumbs and broiled in a mellow wine sauce. It literally oozes with deep, lingering fl avor with every stroke of the knife. The rest of the menu and daily specials don’t let up – dish after artfully arranged dish and small plate bar items of some of the best eating Italy and France have to offer. Good sipping, too, from an international wine

portfolio of 170 top-shelf labels. Desserts keep up with what precedes them with made-in-house sweet treats that seal the meal. Service, with Joshua and Alonzo (they prefer fi rst names only) setting the pace, is attentive and congenial, never intrusive or overly conversational.

It is in the context of stormy times and turmoil – reminiscent of this exact moment – that I relay the story of our fi rst family trip to Puerto Rico in 1998. My son Sam was a

17-year-old male teenager, which says it all. My daughter Zoe was 7, and terrifi ed of unusual weather patterns like clouds. My wife Merry and I were parents and entrepreneurs trying to make good decisions

and enough of a living to survive the extra taxes and penalties the government places on people who create jobs and add to the country’s productivity. The job of parenting and surviving fi nancially had whittled us down to mere shells of our former selves, so we decided to get the hell out of Dodge and head for the hills of sunny Puerto Rico during the kids’ spring break. This was an awesome idea theoretically, but so was splitting the atom. Our fi rst challenge was fi nding a place suited to our widely divergent needs and interests. Sam’s focus seemed to be on gaining distance from us and proximity to girls. Zoe wanted to avoid dark clouds and great white sharks. My interests were running, sunning and mixing G&Ts. Merry wanted to non-stop shop. She’s amazing and the only person I know who can shop at a lemonade stand. Even though we had divergent interests, we all agreed on one essential thing: whatever place we picked had to be sunny. I explored travel guidebooks with the fervor of Ponce de León, and when I came across Palmas Del Mar in Puerto Rico, I pounced on it. I read the following excerpt to the family at dinner. “Puerto Rico’s beautiful geographic diversity ranges from stunning, sun-kissed beaches to mountain towns that time seems to have forgotten. Puerto Rico boasts more than its share of sun-fi lled days. This island only has fi ve completely rainy days per year!” That’s when the crowd went wild! “Only fi ve rainy days per year?” Cripes, Death Valley gets more rainy days than that. So it was written. So we went and as the taxi sped us away from the airport, we were more than pleased. The island was spectacularly lovely and it was dazzlingly sunny and warm. We were all smiles as we zipped along and would have made it to the resort quickly if we hadn’t encountered – dare I say it? – pouring rain. No one said a word. Just a tropical storm, we were all thinking, that teems for a while then moves on. It did stop. For 15 minutes. Then it started again. Zoe began crying, which distracted us, especially since Sam threatened to “knock her damn block off!” Reluctantly, I asked the driver what was happening. His English was broken (not that my Spanish was fi xed), but I gleaned enough to understand that the hurricane that had hit the month before had somehow changed the weather ball game completely. All bets and patterns were off. Yup, it only rains fi ve days a year in Puerto Rico, and we hit all fi ve. It rained almost incessantly, though we were able to eke out a couple of hours of sunshine each day. When it happened, you should have seen us scramble for the pool. Gazelles chased by lions do not move with that speed. We’d lie in the warm sun for an hour until we’d see the clouds gathering, and it would begin to rain – again. It poured, but our spirits could not be permanently dampened. Our family sense of humor and deep sarcasm prevailed and instead of Palmas Del Mar, we started calling the resort “Palmas Del Rainos. We really raked the place over the coals, even if they were too wet to light. I even made up a song about it, sung to the tune of “Camelot.”

Feel free to sing along:

“It never rains ‘til after breakfast. July and August it just rains a lot. In short there’s simply not, a damper, wetter spot where rains come down until you drown, you swim in puddles on the ground, oh my, I’m feeling out of sorts I wish I could put on my shorts here at Palmas Del Rainos Resort!”

And now, we interrupt The Beginning of the End for a completely unrelated recipe that may stave off those who thirst for a dynamite dish. We’ll pick up where we left off next month.

Pasta Puttanesca(Lady of the Evening – with Capers and

Antics) In Italian, “Puttanesca” means “lady of the evening.” How or why this dish got that name, I have no clue. I also have no clue how this dish relates to Puerto Rico, though it is sunny and warm in its own way. With the anchovies, wine and thyme, it’s really rich and lovely and one of the best dishes this side of the wrong side of town.

Singredients

Olive oil5 cloves chopped garlicEntire package of cherry tomatoes (cut in half)2 cans of anchovies with oil½ 4 oz. jar of capers ½ cup red wine¼ cup chicken stock2 bay leavesLots of fresh thyme (8-10 plucked branches)10 leaves of fresh basil (that Basil is always fresh, just ask Rosemary) Salt, pepper, red pepper fl akes1 lb. linguini or thin spaghetti

Sheik Technique

[1] Fry garlic out in two tablespoons of olive oil. [2] Add anchovies to oil and sauté and stir until it forms a paste. [3] Add cherry tomatoes, capers, heck, the whole rest of the ingredients and simmer away for 15 minutes or so. [4] Boil water for the pasta and cook until Al Dente (cousin of Al Fresco). [5] Pour the pasta into the saucepan, stir and enjoy this sinfully good dish in the evening. That’s the idea.

Kevin Hurst is director of operations for the new Chicago Lighthouse Vision Rehabilitation Center in Glenview. The 106-year-old non-profi t provides programs and services to those who are blind or visually impaired. The new location marks their fi rst expansion outside the main facility in downtown Chicago.

WH! What was your very fi rst job?KH: My fi rst paying job was in high school as a lifeguard. It sounded like a really cool job – a way to get a good tan and blow a whistle. I never had to save anyone, which was a good thing since I graduated high school and was only 5’3” tall. The downside was having to close the children’s pool so that it could be cleaned from “accidents.” My fi rst non-paying job entailed sweeping fl oors at the local barber shop. The upside was that I got to eat all of the bubble gum I wanted.

WH! Outside of your current fi eld, what other occupations, if any, have you pursued?KH: My previous corporate position with JPMorgan Chase started preparing me for my formal role within the non-profi t arena. I was the vice president of community development (in Ohio) in which I managed both marketing/community outreach for the mortgage line of business, as well as philanthropic giving from the foundation for our service markets. In this capacity, I was invited to join numerous boards and committees and truly gained insight into the needs of the larger community. This ultimately led me to pursue a new career path in non-profi ts. I have been involved in the launch of new organizations, as well as the strategic reorganization of others.

WH! What’s your favorite way to relax after

work?KH: If I am not playing with the two cutest and smartest dogs in the world – Skyler, an 8-year-old Brussels Griffon, and Hayden, a 5-year-old Scottish Terrier – you will usually fi nd me either training for a marathon or triathlon, or experimenting in the kitchen with new fl avors and cooking techniques.

WH! What’s your best advice for someone just starting a business in the local area?KH: Being a new resident of Chicago, I was not completely familiar with Glenview and the northern suburbs. As it came time to remodel the building, I leveraged local partners (identifi ed through the chamber of commerce membership list) who would most likely know how to navigate the system (hoping to reduce my frustrations and additional gray hairs). I think it is also imperative to develop a strong working relationship with the Village staff. I appreciate the strictness of the policies, but I appreciate even more the helpfulness of the staff.

WH! Tell us about one person or company who has been instrumental in the success of your business and explain why.KH: I had a manager years ago, shortly after graduating college, that taught me to truly think “outside of the box” (before it was a cliché to say ‘outside of the box’). She lived by the motto that no idea is a bad idea. Being in banking at the time, I tended to live in a more traditional business mindset (left brain) while she was the complete antithesis – more creative and experimental (right brain). Over time, I opened my mind to new ways of thinking and processing, which has helped me grow into a better manager and leader.

WH! What’s the next technological

innovation that will change the way we all do business?KH: As an organization that is focused on helping those who are blind or visually impaired, we are forever cognizant of the tools needed for people to remain as independent as possible, regardless of their age. From the young to the not-so young, there are so many advances in technology. Not that we endorse one product over another, however Apple comes pre-loaded with software that speaks and enlarges the font size – which is a great tool for those with visual impairments. The Chicago Lighthouse is one of the leading providers of adaptive equipment in the country.

WH! Name your favorite book/movie/music.KH: My favorite author has written a series of books about his new life in Provence. Peter Mayle is a British transplant to France and has chronicled he and his wife’s (and dog’s) adventures as they have settled down and explored their adopted country. As an oenophile – i.e. “grape nut” – I have often fantasized about retiring on a vineyard and enjoying the “juice” of my labor. Music also plays an important role in my life, especially as I am training for marathons and triathlons – it keeps my mind off of the pain and acts as a distraction as to how crazy I must be for putting my body through the torture.

WH! Why did you start your business in this area of metropolitan Chicago?KH: The Chicago Lighthouse has always had expansion to the North Shore as part of our strategic plan. We knew there were people suffering with visual impairment not being served. Through a generous grant from the North Suburban Healthcare Foundation, our dreams were realized. The grant allowed us

to purchase and renovate a building. Our intuition in this market was correct. Over 75 percent of the patients we are seeing in our Low Vision Clinic are new to the Lighthouse. The other 25 percent are grateful that they no longer have to drive into the city for these services.

WH! How does the North Shore or north suburban clientele affect your business?KH: Prior to us opening the new building for business, I conducted focus groups with both the senior adult population, as well as the parents/teachers of youth with visual impairments to better understand the types of programs that we should offer. Not surprisingly, we learned that the North Shore population was more engaged with preventing, managing, and in some cases, reversing visual impairments. For this reason, we have identifi ed professionals in the fi eld to provide lectures on specifi c topics. Most recently, Dr. Stuart Richer, a leading researcher, kicked off a six-part series on the effects and impact of nutrition and eye health.

WH! What’s something your company does for the community that we might not know about (but should)?KH: The Chicago Lighthouse lives by our mission. In fact, of the 230 employees, over 52 percent are blind, visually impaired, or have multiple disabilities and contribute within all levels of the organization. We are constantly looking for new ways to generate revenue streams to support the 28 vital programs. Most recently, the Lighthouse developed a call center to support a healthy employee initiative for Advocate Health Care.

STAGE

Matisyahu Rocks Viper Alley Nov. 12 Meet Chicago’s Matt Marrocco, unassuming product designer who raised more than $300,000 in 2012 from people

who want to learn to draw. Matt launched the “I DRAW ____” series, fi rst with the successful book “I DRAW CARS” and then the “I DRAW COMICS Sketchbook & Reference Guide.” Matt used

Kickstarter, a platform for raising money for projects. Techlife caught up with Matt right after his project was funded.

TL: Hours ago, you just closed a successful round of funding for your book project “I DRAW COMICS.” The goal was $10,000, and due to the help of more than 6,400 people, you ended up raising more than $245,000 on Kickstarter. How do you feel?MM: Honestly, a little overwhelmed. If I hadn’t done a Kickstarter already, I think I’d be freaking out. It’s a lot to manage – keeping in communication with all of the pledgers, solving the myriad unique shipping and logistics issues and making sure everyone is happy. All that aside from the most important goal – successfully delivering on your promise and shipping product.

TL: How far in advance did the planning for “I DRAW COMICS” start?MM: Conversations with (professional comic book artist) Ryan Stegman and my manufacturer began late last year, I believe. I was still handling some issues with the “I DRAW CARS” stuff that needed a lot of

attention; once that was all ironed out, I was able to focus on a new creative endeavor.

TL: What made you choose Kickstarter?MM: Kickstarter seemed new and exciting – crowd funding in general is still in its nascent stages and has huge potential. I think when I saw how successful the Lunatik watch project by MNML was, I just wanted to do that. I wanted to make a thing that people wanted and deliver it to them – period. To go through the entire process from the very front end ideation phase, to then physically fulfi lling orders at the end of the Kickstarter was an incredibly educational experience. And yes, fun.

TL: While you are making a profi t (I hope), what costs are you seeing?MM: There are costs associated with everything, from running a website to planning logistics to ordering product. I would say the biggest cost is time. My wife and I spend an enormous amount of time discussing projects, product details, timeline, cost, etc. When I’m not at work, I’m working with her on this brand, so any time I get to relax and not think about anything is welcome. I think we need a vacation.

TL: What advice would you provide to anyone thinking of using Kickstarter?MM: Three things: Know your audience. Keep your video short. Know your audience.

TL: What’s next for the “I DRAW” brand? Will you continue to use Kickstarter?MM: We’ve got lots of exciting ideas in the pipeline – stay tuned.

October 2012WH! Glenview22 business & tech

Did you know that pension funds in Denmark, Norway, Germany and Canada are doing a better job for its members than those in the United Kingdom, the United States and

Spain? According to the Pensions Outlook 2012 report, the last three countries have delivered negative real (after infl ation) net returns over two periods (Dec. 2001-Dec. 2010 and Dec. 2007-Jun. 2011). In fact, these three

countries are the bottom three of 22 countries compared by reference to returns over a longer period. Pension risk is always a major concern for each of these countries. The amount of pension money people will receive will vary according to the economic growth. Policymakers can ensure default funds are designed to reduce risk in the run up to retirement so workers are protected against market shocks in later years. In today’s economic climate, both the United Kingdom and the United States have this problem. Why? Bad outcomes with investments add up to a bad economy as a whole. When one examines the individual states in economic trouble, taxpayers may need to be called upon to increase pension funding when unemployment is high. The Washington State Actuary stated: “Weak economic environments were correlated with weak investment returns. Lower investment returns created the need to increased contributions at a time when employers and members could least afford them.” The Illinois Legislature has done nothing but kick the can down the road when it

comes to solving the state’s public pension crisis. Financial experts now warn the continued unchecked growth of the state’s pension debt could be a disaster – not only for every business owner in the state, but for every individual taxpayer. There is a strong potential that the state is headed into bankruptcy. Analysts project the state retirement systems will need $131 billion to cover benefi ts. One problem: there is only $46 billion in the bank! It’s obvious that Illinois has an “abyss,” a “bottomless pit,” and hasn’t fi gured out ways to keep its commitment to providing retirement security for more than 700,000 downstate teachers, state workers and university employees. “The radical cost cutting and huge tax increases necessary to pay all the deferred costs from the past would become so large that many businesses and individuals would be driven out of Illinois, thereby magnifying the vicious cycle of contracting state services, increasing taxes and loss of the state’s tax base,” says R. Eden Martin, president of the Commercial Club of Chicago, a civic group. The Illinois Constitution guarantees that once this money is earned, pension benefi ts can’t be lowered. So what will be the outcome? Politicians will need to take a stand and stop hiding from the tough decisions that need to be reached to solve this major problem, or all small and large business owners will suffer. In the end, when a decision is fi nally reached, most likely business owners and individual taxpayers will pay the price for the lack of fi scal responsibility of our elected politicians.

Problems with Public PensionsIN BUSINESS

Restaurant HappeningsMadame ZuZu’sWith considerable hype and hoopla, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan unveiled this 1930s-style Chinese teahouse in the Ravinia business district. The snug (only 30 seats) shop occupies a former U.S. Post Offi ce, converted into a cool setting sporting a deco vibe keyed to black-and-white fl ooring, red walls, metal ceiling and a piano. Self-proclaimed tea devotee Corgan says his objective is a neighborhood gathering place for lectures, art exhibits and live music. The menu focuses on a dozen freshly brewed teas supplemented by coffee and desserts. 582 Roger Williams, Highland Park; 847-926-7434; madamezuzus.com.

Chili URestaurants specializing in chili are as improbable on the North Shore as cactus along Sheridan Road. But that changed when Marc Bianchini introduced this chili citadel in downtown Libertyville. Now chili afi cionados can dig into bowls of African chicken, vegan soybean, Mexican meatball, Thai shrimp and more with international fl avor and fl air. Recipes are intensifi ed with spices, bases and toppings. Off-the-wall desserts include Texas sheet cake and Fluffernutter bread pudding. 547 N. Milwaukee Ave., Libertyville; 847-549-3152; chili-u.com.

Real Urban BBQThe atmosphere has been aptly described as a mix of Texas roadhouse and garage sale, featuring a colorful collection of decorative pigs. BBQ includes brisket, ribs and chicken sloshed with Kansas City-style or sweet-spicy Texas sauce. Brisket is smoked 14 hours, ribs

are done up wet, dry or rubbed. Other choices are Red Neck Tacos (corn pancakes with jalapenos) and smoked turkey. In keeping with the theme, drinks are served in Mason jars. 1260 S. Milwaukee Ave., Vernon Hills; 847-613-1227; realurbanbbq.com.

PancettaOccupying space formerly titled Rooks Corner, this newcomer evolved into an Italian restaurant named after bacon. It strives to deviate from the prototypical hotel dining spot with dishes like spinach salad with pancetta (how appropriate) dressing tossed at the table, pasta with grilled salmon and leeks in Gorgonzola cream sauce, and broiled chicken with broccoli. Local partnerships are maintained with such purveyors as Highland Baking Co., Scala’s sausage and Homer’s ice cream. Renaissance Chicago North Shore Hotel, 933 Skokie Blvd., Northbrook; 847-897-5501; marriott.com.

La Tavola TrattoriaA harvest of special dishes to celebrate fall is being offered for dinner. Chef Eddy Montiel’s expanded menu includes such entrees as butternut squash ravioli, pumpkin gnocchi and roast duck a l’Orange in brandy sauce. Seasonal appetizers are smoked duck breast and quail stuffed with sausage and raisins. The made-for-the-occasion items supplement the regular northern Italian cuisine. 8808 N. Milwaukee Ave., Niles; 847-376-8294; latavolatrattoriachicago.com.
