Keep Lawns, Landscapes Healthy During Drought Hot, dry weather continues to plague much of the country, and keeping lawns and landscapes alive and well has been a struggle for many gardeners. Here are a few ways to help your landscape through this challenging season:
Prioritize watering. New plantings, moisture lovers, and stressed plants should be the fi rst to receive a good long drink.
Give mature trees a hand. Even these landscape giants need water during drought. Soak the area under the dripline providing 10 gallons of water per inch diameter of tree trunk.
Mulch the soil. Spread a two- to three-inch layer of woodchips, bark, shredded leaves, evergreen needles or other organic matter over the soil surface surrounding plants. It conserves water, keeps roots cooler, suppresses weeds, and improves the soil as it decomposes.
Dormant lawns should remain dormant. Taking your lawn in and out of dormancy with inconsistent watering is harder on the lawns than dormancy. Providing ¼-inch of water once a month will help keep the crown of the grass alive without breaking dormancy.
Minimize foot and equipment traffi c on dormant lawns and do not treat with pesticides or fast release high nitrogen fertilizers that can damage a dormant lawn.
Check container gardens at least once a day and more often during extreme heat. Move planters to a bit more shade to slow drying, reduce risk of scorch and heat stress.
Use water wisely. Water early in the day
when possible to reduce moisture loss to evaporation. Use soaker hoses and drip irrigation whenever possible. You’ll use less water by applying it right to the soil where it is needed. And always water thoroughly and less frequently to encourage plants to develop
deeper, more drought-tolerant roots.

Most high school students spend their summers working and catching some rays, as school is the last thing on their minds. But for Grace Sowlat, a junior at New Trier Township High School, the summer was fi lled with doing something a little different from her peers. Sowlat, along with 14 Chicagoland high school students (and one student from Michigan), participated in the annual High School Lake Ecology program, sponsored by the Shedd Aquarium. The students had the opportunity to explore Lake Superior’s natural wonder and the prestigious Apostle Islands in Wisconsin, conducting experiments on water quality and wildlife. Sowlat heard about the program through the Shedd Aquarium’s web site, and immediately wanted to get involved. “I’m really interested in ecology and biology, and thought it would be a good thing to do,” she said. The group had three pre-trip sessions at the Shedd in June, where they tested the water in Lake Michigan. After the initial meetings, the group headed to the Apostle Islands for an eight-day trip full of fun and discovery. (one of the mainstays of the Apostle Islands) for more exploring. While there, Sowlat conducted research on the environment and nature of the area. “We went to Sand Island (one of the mainstays of the Apostle Islands) for three days, and we tested different wilderness areas in relation to where they were located,” she said. Of all the activities that the students did throughout the trip, Sowlat said she enjoyed the kayaking trip the best. “We kayaked out from the mainland to Sand Island, and there was one day where we kayaked halfway around from Sand Island and looked at the sea caves and kayaked back,” she said. “They were really cool.” After the trip, the students headed back to
Chicago, where they continued to conduct experiments based on their research. “We worked on what we found in the urban areas around home, and then compared those results to what we found in the wilderness in Wisconsin,” she said. Sowlat, who wants to study as an aquatic veterinarian, said there was a noticeable difference between the water in Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. “Even though they’re known as the ‘Great Lakes,’ the water in Lake Superior is much more clean and not as polluted compared to Lake Michigan,” she said. Sowlat said she hopes to participate in a similar program next year on marine biology, and thoroughly enjoyed her unique summer experience. “We did a lot of work; we did fun stuff but we also worked as scientists, so (the program) is different than what most people think it is going to be,” she said. “People should take every opportunity to get involved while it’s there.”

A Different Kind of Summer Fun
TRAVEL
The thing that’s so great about living just an hour or so away from Lake Geneva is that you can escape anytime. With a beautiful lake, relaxing resorts, fabulous restaurants
and family activities, Lake Geneva is a wonder any time of year. From boutiques, shops and galleries to championship golf courses, public beaches, hiking trails and downhill skiing, Lake Geneva should be
your go-to place with family and friends.
Geneva Inn - A Luxurious B&B with European Charm Located right on the waterfront, Geneva Inn resembles an old southern plantation with a long history to boot. With its dramatic dining room, stunning atrium, and luxurious guest rooms, The Geneva Inn lives up to the glorious past. My room faced the water and it was a lovely view, no matter what time of day. This decadent bed and breakfast retreat serves a sumptuous buffet breakfast every morning. If you love to walk, the historic 21-mile lake-walking path circling Geneva Lake is right at your doorstep. Genevainn.com.
The Fireside Theatre – Broadway in a Cornfi eld A pleasant drive down the road from Lake Geneva in Fort Atkinson, Wisc., is the Fireside Dinner Theatre, really a destination unto itself. Known as the only Actor’s Equity dinner theatre in Wisconsin, the showplace
features outstanding musicals with Broadway performers, fi ne dining, and boutique shops. It came as no surprise to me that it’s consistently named a top destination for travel tours across the U.S. I enjoyed a fabulous lunch, topped off with an amazing production of “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” Coming up for the rest of the year is “Hello, Dolly” and “Scrooge – The Musical.” Firesidetheatre.com.
Cruising the Lake Lake cruises are a delightful way to cruise the lake and “ooh” and “ahh” at the famous mansions that were summer homes to Chicago’s wealthy families. Many were built between 1870 and 1920 and remain elegant reminders of a bygone era. Boat tours operate through the last weekend in October. Cruiselakegeneva.com.
Grand Geneva Resort & Spa – Grand Indeed This is a wonderful getaway for the entire family. The Grand Geneva Resort & Spa is one of only fi ve AAA Four-Diamond resorts in Wisconsin. Play golf on their two championship courses, relax at the spa, or go horseback riding. The kids will have a ball at the Moose Mountain Falls, an indoor/outdoor waterpark. Come winter, enjoy skiing and sleigh rides. I loved dining at Brissago, one of three restaurants, featuring contemporary Italian fare along with impressive views. Fresh ingredients are fl own in from Italy weekly. It’s the kind of attention to detail you can taste. Grandgeneva.com.
Ride the East Troy Electric Railroad This 10-mile ride aboard vintage rail cars takes you through the cornfi elds, orchards and
rural farms of southeast Wisconsin. At the end of the line, you can walk to The Elegant Farmer, home of the famous Apple Pie baked in a paper bag. Pick apples in the fall, and taste the homemade goodness of their fruit breads, gourmet popcorn, blue ribbon cheese and more. Yes, one of those pies did fi nd their way back to my house. Easttroyer.org; elegantfarmer.com. After spending a few relaxing days here, I know why Lake Geneva is now my year-round getaway. 800-432-8747; lakegenevawi.com; [email protected];

Aug. 8, 2012WH! Lake Forest/Lake Bluff10 health & beauty10 Things to Know About Sunscreen 1. What does SPF really mean? The FDA has defi ned “Sun Protection Factor”, or SPF, as “the amount of time it takes to produce minimal redness in the skin via UVB exposure”. It only applies to UVB light (the form of Ultra Violet light that can burn the skin).
2. SPF does not mean the amount of time that you can safely stay in the sun. Climate, altitude, time of year, time of day, medications, amount of pigment in the skin, cloud cover, and refl ective surfaces like water and snow all affect the amount of UV light that is hitting the skin.
3. Don’t be fooled by a high SPF number. Just because a product has a high SPF doesn’t mean that it offers good protection. Remember, SPF refers only to UVB protection, and not UVA. UVA is associated with aging and has been found to cause a high percentage of melanomas. So, looking at the SPF is insuffi cient when selecting sun protection. In addition, FDA testing involves much heavier application of the product on the skin than in everyday use. Even if the product is liberally applied, the SPF is depleted as it is exposed to UVB rays, requiring you to reapply every two hours.
4. There is no such thing as sunblock. Even the best product on the market, applied perfectly, blocks only some UV rays. Stop thinking of these products as sunblock, but rather as UV screens.
5. Once your skin is red, get out of the sun. After the skin is burned, applying more sunscreen will not prevent additional burning. Instead, you will further injure your already damaged skin.
6. Not all redness is sunburn. Rosacea-prone skin responds to heat from UV rays as a redness episode and often make sufferers feel like they are “allergic to the sun.” UV screens containing zinc oxide and niacinamide are ideal for rosacea-prone skin because these agents do not “trap heat in” and in the case of niacinamide, it actually cools the skin.
7. Sunscreens in moisturizers, moisture tints, foundations, and lipsticks are not delivering the SPF protection that is advertised. For example, in order to get the proper amount of SPF 15 you would have to: - Use the entire tube of lipstick in one sitting- Apply seven times the amount of foundation that most people wear- Apply two times as much moisturizer
8. 15 + 15 = 15. The math is wrong, but not when it comes to SPF. If you apply

a product that is rated as SPF 15 and then immediately apply a second layer, you will still only get SPF 15, not SPF 30.
9. Wear a thin layer of clothing as protection from UV light. To enhance this, add a product called SunGuard to your laundry detergent and get an added boost of UV protection. Clothes laundered in this manner will give you protection similar to the most perfectly applied UV screen. This is a good choice for those family members who simply refuse to wear UV screen.
10. Food and drink can have an effect. If you decide to drink those fruity alcoholic beverages by the pool, you will need to reapply sunscreen more frequently. There are confl icting theories on why this is true. Some believe sugar and alcohol cause more
infl ammation in the skin, while others say it’s the dehydration associated with drinking that makes you vulnerable. Regardless of the theory, if you drink, slather sunscreen on hourly. A protective food however is chocolate. Eating small amounts of chocolate, preferably the type with 70 percent cacao content or higher throughout the day can increase your body’s resistance to UV light. Now who can argue with that?
Make sure you are choosing full spectrum UV screens that protect from both UVA and UVB rays. These products should contain zinc and titanium. You get what you pay for, so don’t cut corners when it comes to this very important part of skin health.

Aug. 8, 2012WH! Lake Forest/Lake Bluff12 back to schoolBags to School – A Go-To Guide Let fashion meet function in the new school year by revamping your accessories – foremost, your bags and purses. In addition to mainstream department stores, check out some of the smaller boutiques for standout, “Look at my bag!” options. Here’s a mini-guide to help you stay both organized and chic.
The Backpack and Skate Pack
The Trends: There are some unique, pretty backpacks in vogue now, acting as both purse and backpack for lighter books and notebooks. They are less square and less fi rm, with looser fabric than traditional backpacks. However, for a heavy textbook load, a regular backpack, skate pack, or even small luggage is in order. That doesn’t mean they can’t be fun, too – colors and prints abound – but they are more practical than fashionable. Skate packs are a viable alternative to heavy backpacks.
Brands and Stores to Watch: For the more fashionable purse-type backpack, Glenview’s Country Classics has a noteworthy selection of bags, carrying a wide variety of Vera Bradley and other brands. 1405 Waukegan Road; 847-998-4644. Another option is Ela’s Boutique, located within Teddie Kossof Salon and Spa in Northfi eld. 281 N. Waukegan Road; 847-784-1868. Kipling and Calvin Klein are good choices as well.
Advantages: For the traditional backpack, spinal health and posture is a major advantage. If you or your child carry heavy books, backpacks, skate packs or actual luggage are still the best bets long-term. Keep backpack straps close to the body to maintain your center of gravity. For skate packs, make sure to switch the side you pull them on. The smaller purse-backpack is the best of both worlds for those with light books.
The Messenger Bag
Trend: A type of shoulder bag that is slimmer, sleeker and usually more professional-looking than other bags, but not quite as austere as a briefcase.
Brands and Stores to Watch: Baggalini is a personal favorite for its fashion, substance and professional-yet-chic image. It can be found locally at Country Classics or Ela’s Boutique. Baggalini.com. I also like Olivia and Joy, available at Macy’s, with its artsy prints and vibrant colors. Juicy Couture is both trendy and sophisticated.

Aug. 8, 2012 WH! Lake Forest/Lake Bluff back to school 13BAGS TO SCHOOL, PAGE 12
Advantages: Messenger bags are perfect for older students – a professional-looking option for when you need more than a purse but less than a full backpack. They are usually compartmentalized enough to keep you organized.
The Tote
Trend: A roomier, usually less-compartmentalized shoulder bag than the messenger, the tote is effective for clothes or odds-and-ends.
Brands to Watch: Marc Ecko, Juicy Couture and Dooney and Bourke, with its glossy patent-leather totes.
Advantages and Disadvantages: Spacious, the tote is good for transporting loose supplies and clothes for after-school activities, a “miscellaneous” drawer in purse form. One major disadvantage is that they are often open at the top, with just a latch or button.
The Cross-Body Bag
Trend: The fi t is just as the name implies, slung diagonally across the body. They come in a wide variety of sizes depending on your needs, often with adjustable straps.
Brands and Stores to Watch: Baggalini, Le Sport Sac, Sloane Ranger and Tiganello. Sloane Ranger has fun prints for students. For convenience, you can’t go wrong with Le Sport Sac. Macy’s has a huge selection.
Advantages: This must-have bag is useful for all aspects of life – school, travel, work or just running errands. The lightweight bag is often compartmentalized for maximum organization, and the adjustable straps are an added bonus.
The Clutch and Wristlet
Trend: The clutch is often strap-free, carried under the arm or in the hands. Fancier versions are used as evening bags. The wristlet is worn on the wrist via a loop. It can include larger clutches or simply be a small coin purse-type bag.
Brands and Stores to Watch: Betsey Johnson – for all ages, this all-time favorite designer of mine adds a spark to the mundaneness of everyday life, and her clutches are no different. Fossil makes a wide variety for children as well, featuring animal embroidery. BCBG Generation is another solid option.
Advantages and Disadvantages: Some clutches are comparable to wallets, allowing you to organize. In general, though, they don’t hold much – ID, some pocket change and lip gloss. They are great for grab-and-go.

Aug. 8, 2012WH! Lake Forest/Lake Bluff14 back to school
Gear Up for Serious Back-to-School Shopping It’s fi nally August, which means that it’s time to trade in sunscreen and bug spray for pens and pencils. Believe it or not, school is around the corner, and it’s never too late to get ready for serious back-to-school shopping. From reconnecting with old friends and meeting new classmates and teachers to picking out the perfect outfi t for the fi rst day, school is almost back in session. Check out our picks for going back to school in style.
Boys
Even if they don’t like to admit it, most boys actually care about their unique style when it comes to getting dressed for school. Classic looks, such as polo shirts and khaki pants, will have them scoring an A+ in class. The Wes and Willy collection makes the boys look too cool for school. If he’s all about sports, check out the Long Sleeve Graphic Tee ($26) and Track Pants ($39) from Cargo For Boys. The tee can be dressed up for more formal outings with the store’s khaki shorts ($12) and pants ($39) to freshen up a new wardrobe. The store also carries Ditka Kids Gridiron Clothing, named after famed Chicago Bear Mike Ditka. The Long Sleeve Screen Tee ($29.89) and the Layered Short Sleeve Tee ($31.89) are fun ways to sport the look come football season. The New Balance Minimus 20v2 Trail sneakers ($57.99) from New Balance North Shore, are one of the popular styles for school, and they come in four different colors. They’re ideal for running, but can be used for just about any recreational sport. The thin material on the shoe makes kids feel like they’re running low on the ground, and because it is lightweight in nature, it
gives plenty of support.
Girls
Every girl knows that the ensemble for the fi rst day of school is one of the most important outfi ts. It takes hours to create the perfect look to impress classmates and showcase personal style. As the leaves start to fall, invest in a fl eece coat that’s sturdy and comes in a variety of colors. The North Face Denali Fleece ($25-$45) from Principessa is popular among kids and teens. Explore the sequin trend with the store’s sparkly t-shirts (from $10). Keep feet cozy and comfortable as the weather changes with UGG boots (from $25) and Hunter and Bogg rain boots ($36 for kids sizes). Girls will score some gold stars with the popular Juicy Couture velour track suits ($50) that can be worn all year round. The Fluxus Sweater ($99), from So Shee Boutique, is one of the must-have items for a new school year. It’s an easy piece to switch to the upcoming fall season paired with jeans. For a dressier look, the store’s “Sacha” black dress ($99), also by Fluxus, is great paired under a blazer and tall boots. Complete the look with a sterling silver necklace from Tai Jewelry ($65). A popular accessory, the Hipsi belt ($60) comes with an adjustable buckle and strap to mix up a fall wardrobe. If you wear a uniform, try an accessory, such as a bright scarf (from $22) or a necklace (from $17) in a fun pattern to embrace your vibrant personality. For the more athletic girl, the KT20PP Balance Minimus Trail ($54.95), from New Balance North Shore, provides the near-barefoot experience better than traditional running shoes. The shoes have a durable sole and comfort for every sport, and can be worn
with or without socks. The bright magenta and royal purple combination shows a touch of color to match everything in her closet. A blazer is ideal for more mature students, suitable for class presentations and college interviews. A blouse in a muted color makes the look more professional, yet polished. The Shaped Jacket with Angled Hem in Tropical Suiting with Eco Poly ($298) and Scoop Neck Top with Rolled Cap Sleeves in
Stretch Silk Charmeuse ($188), from Eileen Fisher, are a perfect combination. The jacket’s drape-like material makes it a great transition piece from summer to fall, is durable enough to last for years, and is environmentally friendly. It comes with a matching wide-leg pant ($188) to round out a well-invested ensemble.

Some people have mentioned lately that they’re fed up with breakfast. They admit to being opposed to omelettes, weary of waffl es, put off by pancakes, done with doughnuts
and sour on sweet rolls. “Breakfast can be boring,” said one disgruntled diner. “They’re all alike, regardless of the restaurant.” Part of the problem is that numerous eateries put hardly any imagination or
variety into the morning meal. They would rather concentrate on lunch and dinner, which usually generate more profi ts. Not totally convinced that breakfast has to be a big yawn, we set out to fi nd a gastronomic interpretation of morning glory. Our quest took us to a strip center in Bannockburn, to a cheerful spot that gives drowsy appetites a wake-up call. Eggsperience Pancakes & Cafe is the name, its claim is a cornucopia of a.m. food served with a sunny disposition in bright, comfortable surroundings keyed to a ceiling shaped like – what else? – an egg. The menu can be overwhelming with more than 60 breakfast choices, plus 24 for lunch (closed for dinner). Owned and managed by Kosta Louvras, this Eggsperience was the fi rst in a fi ve-store network, with others in Glenview, Park Ridge, Naperville and Chicago. Each shares the same name, menu and prices except
Chicago, where the fare and hours are more attuned to the downtown market. This review focuses on the Bannockburn location only. Eggs? How do you want them? There are skillets, scramblers, omelettes, Benedicts, wraps, frittatas and common bacon and eggs. Pancakes, waffl es, crepes and French toast are offered as well. So are oatmeal, dry cereal and yogurt. What more can you ask for? If you ask for quality and nutrition, you’ve come to the right place. Eggs are AA in grade and XL in size. Fruit is fresh, juices are freshly squeezed, coffee is organic and freshly brewed. If you’re on a health kick, there are wheat grass shots that taste more like grass than juice, but promise antioxidant and energy benefi ts. Cholesterol counters can request egg whites or Egg Beaters. Everything is cooked to order. Celebrity alert: Hey, look! Vince Vaughn just walked in. For openers, you can switch from everyday orange and grapefruit juice to more exotic pomegranate, papaya or mango squeezings. Or try a combo mix, like kiwi-strawberry-orange or spiced tomato with wheat grass. Both hearty and healthy is Eleni’s Egg White Delight, a three-egg creation baked to puffy heights and packed with spinach, mushrooms, red peppers and low-fat mozzarella. Included is a side of fruit, hash browns and toast or pancakes. After putting away one of these, you’ll probably skip lunch. It’s easy to fl ip over the fl apjacks, especially the Berry Berry edition with bits of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries sprinkled into the buttermilk batter. Smearing the puffy pancakes with whipped butter and warm syrup doesn’t detract from the sweet-
tart essence of fresh fruit in every forkful. Among the Benedicts, the Roasted Red Pepper Benny deviates from the traditional recipe by crowning poached eggs with the contrasting fl avors of assertive red peppers and gentle feta cheese. A liberal layer of semi-rich, lemon-tinted Hollandaise sauce is the perfect fi nish. Beyond breakfast, the lunch bunch can dig into such noontime standouts as Gourmet Chicken Salad, a heaping mound of greens, chicken chunks, cranberries, raisins, roasted pecans and nine-grain toast. The Cajun Avocado Burger, Chicken Pesto Panini and Spicy Chicken Wrap are popular, too. No dessert, though there’s page after page of espresso, latte, frappe, shakes, smoothies and specialty beverages. Service is polite, prompt and perky.

Even with the horrible drought we’ve been dealing with lately, corn is in the stores. I’ll tell you, however, that it’s not the best
I’ve seen – and understandably so. If you can fi nd a bunch of really nice looking ears, then go ahead, grill ’em up and enjoy. But if you’re having trouble fi nding the good ones and have a real craving for corn, here’s a side
dish that should satisfy. While I’m not a huge fan of canned vegetables, there are some recipes I do that are just a heck of a lot easier using them. To be honest, I’ve tried doing this one using only fresh ingredients, and there’s always something that seems to be missing. I’ll put my fi nger on it one day. Until that day, this will do just fi ne. It’s a great dinner or holiday side dish, but we’ve actually served this at brunches. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Make Desserts Like the Professionals Dessert makes the perfect fi nishing touch to a special event. You don’t need a professional pastry chef, however; even novice foodies can make their own delicious desserts. Invest in a star decorator’s tip and pastry bag. There’s no limit to what you can do with a simple pastry bag, icing and a decorative tip. Instead of slathering frosting on cupcakes, use the tip to pipe on individual stars or swirls. You can also use it to add a dab of homemade whipped cream to a serving plate aside a slice of pie. Make garnish sauces. Professional chefs understand that many people eat with their eyes. Take a cue from restaurants and garnish the plate prior to adding the dessert. Create simple sauces from cooked-down strawberries or raspberries with sugar and water, or look to premade syrups. Use leaves or fl owers. In addition to sauces on the plate, you may want to add a few mint leaves or an edible fl ower to cleanse the palate. This can make guests feel special. Create individual servings. A dessert served in an individual ramekin or tin can be a nice presentation in itself. Individual servings look and serve well. Go for the “wow” factor. Certain desserts lend themselves to dramatic display, such as creme brulee or fl ambe desserts. Use a quality liqueur for fi re-enhanced desserts, so the alcohol burns off quickly and evenly. Embrace the use of fondant or gum paste. They’re essentially moldable dough made out of sugar. Fondant can be rolled to cover cakes, cut to turn into intricate
shapes or hand molded into fi gurines or other edible pieces. Just about any dessert can be enhanced with a fondant trinket. Use cookie cutters to create different shapes. Instead of a standard layer cake, use cookie cutters to cut out cake pieces and then layer them with frosting in between. Think about baking a pie and cutting out a piece of the pre-baked top crust with a cookie cutter that gives a clue to the fi lling inside. Place on top of the crust before baking. Creating special desserts doesn’t require much effort or any specialized skills.

WH! What was your very fi rst job?
DD: A medical doctor and university professor.
WH! Name one person you’d consider a hero or role model and explain why.
DD: George Washington for his fi ght for freedom, and Hippocrates, Father of Medicine, for his freeing medicine from the shackles of magic, superstition and the supernatural.
WH! Tell us about a work experience from which you learned a valuable lesson.
DD: A patient came to me with a diagnosis of Stage 4 cancer in her ovaries and stomach, and it was spreading. Conventional doctors gave her three months to live. I treated her for three months, and after returning to her regular doctor, the cancer was gone. The lesson is: never give up, regardless of the situation.
WH! The one business tool I can’t live without is:
DD: My healing hands.
WH! What’s your best advice for someone just starting a business in the local area?
DD: Work hard to the best of your ability and give the best service.
WH! How did you get your start in business?
DD: As a child, I suffered from asthma. I took a number of Western medications that did not have a lasting effect. The only treatment that helped me was acupuncture from my grandmother at the ages of 3 and 4. I began receiving treatment from Qigong masters, and after a few months, my asthma cleared up completely. I became so interested in the practice that I studied the healing art myself, becoming a Qigong master at the age
of 13.
WH! What aspect(s) of your business are you most proud of?
DD: Patients come from all over the country and world to get treated by me. This is what I am most proud of – being able to help so many people.
WH! What was the most diffi cult obstacle or most challenging time your business has had to overcome?
DD: I really never had a hard time; patients would refer their friends and family after being treated by me.
WH! What’s your business’ motto/mission statement?
DD: When conventional medicine and/or surgery do not work, give Dr. Deng a try.
WH! What’s your favorite movie/book/music?
DD: “Titanic,” the Bible and James Taylor.
WH! Are you a Mac or a PC?
DD: PC.
WH! What’s the best thing America can do to ensure the success of her businesses?
DD: Have the best quality of products and service – the best price, but not a cheap price.
WH! Why did you start your business in this area?
DD: My patients brought me here through my travels.
WH! How does the North Shore or north suburban clientele affect your business?
DD: They are good, well-educated people – open to methods of healing.
WH! What’s your favorite way to relax after work?
DD: I love to tend my garden, pulling weeds to ensure it remains beautiful.

All around the world business and pleasure readers are using their Kindles and Nooks to read their favorite books. Since state governments and the federal government in
the United States never thought it was their job to protect independent bookstores and let them thrive, they have crashed and burned. After all, America believes in free enterprise. But the French government has a
different philosophy. France, approximately the size of Texas, boasts 2,500 bookstores. From 2003 to 2011, book sales in France increased by 6.5 percent. E-books account for only 1.8 percent of the general consumer publishing market, compared with 6.4 percent in the United States. How can this be? In the United States the free market reigns; in France it’s price fi xing. Since 1981, the “Lang Law” – named after its promoter Jack Lang, the culture minister at the time – fi xed prices for French-language books. Booksellers – even Amazon – may not discount books more than fi ve percent below the publisher’s list price. Amazon won on one point. It has the right to provide free delivery. French publishers watched in horror as e-books ate away at the printed book market in the United States. The result...they successfully lobbied the government to fi x prices for e-books. Now, publishers have the right to decide themselves the price of e-books. Any other discounting is forbidden. In addition to keeping the bookstore owners in business, there are government-fi nanced institutions that offer grants and interest-free loans. People wanting to be bookstore owners know that without these grants and the fi xed prices, their stores wouldn’t survive. Book publishers in the United States believe
that France is just delaying the inevitable, and sooner or later market forces will prevail. Despite the appeal of neighborhood bookstores, 13 percent of French books were bought on the Internet in 2011. In June, there was an agreement with Google and the French Publishers Association and Societe des Gens de Lettres (an authors’ group) allowing publishers to offer digital versions of their works for Google to sell. The French love their books. Many of the authors and the publishers’ association consider books to be “living things.” They believe books need to be respected and loved. A century ago, Americans may have had that same philosophy, but today actual paperback or hardcover books aren’t always loved or respected. Travel on an airplane or commuter train, or watch someone eating lunch and out comes their Kindle or Nook. In time, students in high school and college will be using text e-books. Whether this is good or bad for the future will be anyone’s guess. Yet, the popularity of e-books is not going to benefi t small business people as it will be tougher for small bookstores to thrive in the United States. Few Americans want to see bookstores disappear entirely. There is still something to be said about walking into a bookstore, picking up the book and examining it in your hands. There is no law – nor will there ever be one – that will save bookstores in the United States. Americans have seen small bookstores and even large chains such as Borders go into bankruptcy. Technology rules. Hopefully, even if all the bookstores in the United States disappear entirely in the next few decades, libraries and their collection of books will survive.

Lack of communication at work can result in low employee morale and an uncomfortable work environment. Proper communication is vital to a healthy company. Otherwise, an atmosphere of discomfort might develop among employees. There are a variety of ways to improve communication in the workplace. Incorporate the following steps to help keep business running smoothly. Supervisors must be accessible. Instead of setting down the law of the land, supervisors should have an open-door policy, welcoming suggestions or even complaints without repercussions. Hold staff meetings. Staff meetings enable everyone to come together and voice their opinions. Meetings also serve to let employees know their opinions are important.
Conduct frequent staff reviews. Supervisors should regularly meet with employees, providing them with the opportunity to discuss issues that may be important to the staff or themselves. It also allows a boss to understand what each staff member does and if there is room for improvement.
