Can a shorter hallway lead to a quicker recovery?

Yes, it can.

With less hallway to walk,

nurses, doctors and patients are nearer to each other – allowing interaction to happen more frequently, so more comfort is felt. And when more comfort is felt, more healing occurs.

Welcome to a whole new way of thinking.

Welcome to a whole new way of wellness.

The curved hallway of the nurse’s stations allows for faster access to patients.

Welcome to the ultimate healing environment.

In this issue, we drop in on 12 Clevelanders who are passionate collectors of items from rare books and movie memorabilia, to elephant figurines and deviled egg plates (seriously!). We also visit with a man who writes acrostic puzzles for a living and a restaurateur couple enjoying their salad days, and we hit the trails with members of Cleveland hiking clubs.

This season, the vintage look is in, and you don’t have to go to New York or Paris to get it. Everything you see in JStyle is available locally.

Hungry for more? Our new feature “Chef’s Corner” highlights a seasonal ingredient, selected by a top local chef, and a recipe for making it part of your own menu. This issue, chef Doug Katz of fire turns us on to the sweet goodness of pea tendrils. You’ll also meet local families who use food to enhance their Torah study.

The “ladies” are her collection of more than 1,000 lady head vases, but in truth Carr has an appreciation for the feminine form in all the decorative arts, whether it be in a painting or on her kitchen tile. “I have four sons,” she explains. “Maybe that’s why I collect

Lenore Finerman, Gates Mills In the 1970s, Lenore Finerman decided she, like her four children, would enroll in college. “At one point, my husband had five of us in college,” Finerman says with a laugh. She quickly earned the nickname “the wise old owl,” which spawned many owl gifts from friends and family. Thus, her first collection was born. Then she started collecting tea party paraphernalia – pots, spoons and cups. She regularly uses these items during tea parties she hosts.

Finerman, a retired nursing home administrator, began collecting Judaica many years later, because every year at Chanukah, she “goes overboard” decorating the house. Her husband Harold, who collects canes, buys her a dreidel each year; she, in turn, gives one annually to each of her five grandkids (including triplets). Her favorite dreidel? “I like them all,” she says judiciously.

Alex and Boots Kertesz, Beachwood Alex Kertesz has a problem. He has too many things he likes. The serial collector – a “collectic,” he says – and his wife Boots are the owners of multiple collections, including cars, frosted-glass powder boxes, women’s compacts from WW II, children’s pedal cars, and original WW II propaganda posters. Eclipsing it all is their Art Deco collection. The couple is such fans, they redecorated their entire house in the Deco style 10 years ago.

The magnificent collection is comprised of furniture, art, statues, airline memorabilia, toasters, suitcases, radios, lamps, clocks, toys … you name it; if it came from the 1920s or ’30s, the Kerteszes have it. Alex’s impressive radio collection (he restores them, too) is well known among collectors. “People call me,” he says modestly.

The first item the Kerteszes ever bought was a radio-controlled car in Los Angeles 40 years ago. Since then, they’ve visited flea markets all over

the world, and Alex is a frequent eBay browser.

Ten years ago, the couple went on PBS’s “Antiques Roadshow” with a rare Charlie Chaplin beaded purse from their collection. Alex knew the value of the item, but the appraiser got it wrong! She called Alex back after the show to correct herself.

“Collectors are like a museum,” says the semi-retired founder of Kertesz Enterprises land development and construction company. “We preserve history, then we pass it along to the next generation.”

Bonnie Goldfarb, Beachwood Bonnie Goldfarb had originally intended her sister-in-law Diane Henkin to collect devilled egg plates – after all, Henkin was known for her delicious devilled eggs – but even after Goldfarb bought her three plates, Henkin wasn’t interested. So Goldfarb took on the project herself. Ten years later, she now has more than 200, which she gets from friends and in antique and retail stores. (Strangely, gas stations used to give them away in the ’60s.) Goldfarb’s biggest find was in Amish country, where she picked up eight plates in one day. Turns out its an Amish tradition to bring devilled eggs on the special plate to someone’s house when they are invited for dinner. Who knew?

“The best part of collecting is that it’s a great conversation piece,” says Goldfarb, who works in medical billing at University Hospital. “When I die, my daughter says she going to give one to everyone who comes to the shiva call. I love the idea!”

Lynn Katz Danzig, Beachwood Lynn Katz Danzig got her first camera, a Kodak Duaflex, when she was 9 years old. Today, the photography enthusiast is the proud owner of many antique cameras, the oldest of which dates back to the early 1900s. On her shelf you’ll find old movie cameras, Kodak Instamatics, bellows cameras, Brownie Hawkeyes, even an Agfa her dad, a D-Day survivor, found in a house in Germany. She says it’s common to find old cameras with film still inside!

The most Danzig ever paid for a camera for her collection is $15; she buys them at garage sales, at camera stores and on Goodwill’s website.

She’s pictured with “Galapagos Courtship,” a photograph of sea lions she took while in the Galapagos in 1996. She’s holding the Agfa camera her father found in Germany.

Channah Appel, Beachwood Channah Appel has found her greatest teaching tool: pins. Each day, the Gross Schechter Day School teacher carefully selects a pin from her collection of about 120 that in some way corresponds to the week’s parasha (Torah portion). Her students get excited to see what she’s wearing and to figure out its significance. Her fish pin, for example, demonstrates the Red Sea parting, but sometimes the stories she spins are much more elaborate.

Although Appel got her first pin when she was just 4 (she still has it), she couldn’t start collecting in earnest until about five years ago, when the youngest of her eight children was old enough to stop pulling her jewelry. She mostly picks the pins up at thrift stores and National Council of Jewish Women’s monthly Thriftique sales.

Her favorite pin is a Shrinky Dink school bus her husband bought her. She wore it recently on Passover as a comment on why parents send their kids to day school. “One of the four sons doesn’t know how to ask a question,” explains Appel. “The pin demonstrates parents’ responsibility to get our kids educated.”

Phyllis Rotman, Beachwood You could say Phyllis Rotman’s collection of unusual houseplants grew organically. Newly married in 1951 and just 21, she bought a couple of plants without knowing exactly what they were. Curious, she started reading books on the subject. Today, she has about 80 indoor varieties; during the summer months she has many more, when her balcony is overflowing with greenery. Most require minimal care, but she still spends several hours a week on them. “It’s work, but it’s work I love,” she says.

The former volunteer chair of the Mt. Sinai Flower Mart lovingly points out knotted and standard dracena, pepperomia, bromeliads, bonsai and pseudo bonsai (which she trims herself), Chinese evergreens and ZZ (Zamioculcas Zamiifolia), to name just a few. Plants like the ZZ will go out of fashion, she says, but then come back again years later.

Rotman encourages all seniors to have a hobby they love. “It fills my days with joy and keeps me busy.”

Laura Trattner, Strongsville Laura Trattner couldn’t decide: “The Wizard of Oz” or “Gone with the Wind”? After much internal debate, she decided to collect memorabilia from “The Wizard of Oz.” Since the 1980s, she has amassed hundreds of pieces filling many curio cabinets, including salt-and-pepper shakers, dolls, miniatures, nutcrackers, music boxes, posters, puzzles, games, books, and Pez dispensers. “Oz” memorabilia is everywhere you look in her home, from pillows and blankets on the couches and posters on the walls, to a life-size cutout of Dorothy. And yes, at Halloween, she dresses up as Dorothy.

While Trattner loves the movie (she’s seen it about 40 times), the retired math teacher believes collecting is more about finding those treasured objects, which, when she doesn’t receive them as gifts, she gets at gift shops and doll and miniature shows. “It’s about the hunt,” she says. “It’s fun.”

Herb Ascherman, Shaker Heights Portrait photographer Herb Ascherman is very selective when it comes to daguerrotypes, of which he has about 30 in excellent condition. He specifically seeks out images of people with either dogs or cigars. Imagine his excitement when he found one featuring a man with a cigar and a dog!

Ascherman has bought other dags he’s liked, such as one of a magician or one featuring the rare image of a Jewish merchant.

Dageurrotypes are one-of-a-kind images taken between 1839-1855.

Because they were developed using mercury vapor, it wasn’t uncommon for people to die during the processing. The photographer loves the histor-

Ascherman buys dags from other collectors, dealers and antique stores. On average he’ll pay between $30-$50, but the rare ones can cost

Ascherman even has a dag of himself, which was made during a workshop he attended. Happily, no one died during the process.

Madelyn Pollack, South Euclid Many years ago, Madelyn Pollack’s mother, a regular mah jongg player, carried a little ivory elephant in her change purse. “She won a lot, so everyone started accusing her of carrying it for good luck,” Pollack remembers with a laugh. Friends started giving her mother more elephants. Both the collection and the tradition passed down to Pollack, who now plays maj herself and carries her own ivory elephant. “It worked more for her than it does for me,” she quips.

The retired computer programmer continues to collect today and has hundreds of elephants in every medium – glass, carvings, metal, wood – from all over the world: Russia, Israel, Sweden, Czechoslovakia, Italy. “My eyes just gravitate toward them,” she says. Her favorite is a marble carving her husband made for her in 1988.

Of course, like every savvy collector of elephants, Pollack has a strict rule. “I don’t buy them unless their noses are up – it’s a sign of good luck.”L

THERE’RE few better spots to spend a warm, sunny spring day on the East Side of Cleveland than charming downtown Chagrin Falls. We weren’t the only ones playing hooky by the roaring falls; the streets were packed with baby strollers, dog walkers, and all sorts of people who looked like they should have been at work.

There are so many unique merchants in the quaint village – clothing boutiques, gift shops, and a bunch of consignment and vintage stores – we couldn’t possibly hit them all. But before we could even get started, nature decided to let loose with torrents of rain.

Soggy but happy, we still managed to get a taste of life (and ice cream) in Chagrin Falls.

WHAT’S

cooking at fire food & drink at Shaker Square this spring?

How about some flavorful, nutrient-dense pea tendrils. These tasty morsels, also known as pea shoots or dau miu, are the young leaves of the snow pea plant and taste like a cross between peas and spinach. fire’s owner, chef Doug Katz, likes to use these seasonal greens as a side dish or in soups, salads and stir-fries.

“Pea tendrils are also a great garnish for plates and can be found at farmer’s markets or Asian markets in the spring and summer,” Katz says.

“You can treat them as you would spinach.”

Also enhancing the ambience are accent lights in the beds and batteryoperated candles inside lanterns that rest atop several low pillars. Carefully positioned pine trees act as a privacy barrier from the neighbors.

5. Sand, powerwash and seal the deck. It’s cheaper than replacing it, but makes a world of difference.

6. Prune shrubs. Instead of ripping out overgrown shrubs and starting over, hire a professional to properly prune them. Attacking shrubs with shears willy-nilly is a common mistake made by many homeowners.

7. Plant a shrub that attracts birds or butterflies.

IF you’re

anything like Beachwood resident John Weil, you fly through

weekday crosswords and knock out the Jumble in minutes – or even seconds. In fact, his “gaming” became so routine, Weil wished there was a way to add a little “wow” to his wordplay. So the former theater critic, journalist and marketing professional decided to write his own acrostics.

Now, the puzzle enthusiast has become a puzzle master, with his “Solve and Smile” short acrostic appearing Mon.-Sat. in The Plain Dealer.

Puzzled period: “Monday through Wednesday are not for wordplay

people,” laments Weil, referring to the easier puzzles newspapers print those days. He learned this during a long period of unemployment. Every day, Weil would wake up and do the puzzles before starting on his job search. But he got bored. “It got to the point where I could look at the Jumble and literally solve it in 12 seconds,” he says.

In need of new stimulation, Weil started buying books of acrostics.

The long puzzles, often requiring 20-30 clues, take up a lot of space, so they’ve fallen out of favor with newspapers. “I was thinking, if I could shorten it and make it humorous, it might be something a daily paper would be interested in,” he recalls. Creating the puzzles soon became “more fun than solving them.”

After building up a stockpile of some 50 acrostics, it took Weil five months to get his “Solve and Smile” puzzles into the PD. They debuted in January. Now, he is a full-time puzzle master and looking into syndicating his work.

Acrost-what? An acrostic is a puzzle in which you must figure out a quote or quip. Each letter of the quote is numbered and corresponds to letters in various crossword-style clues listed under the puzzle. As you solve each clue, those letters feed into the quote, helping to reveal it.

The number of clues corresponds to the number of letters in the name of the speaker of the quote. The first letter of each clue in order spells the speaker’s name.

The hardest part of creating an acrostic is finding the base quote, Weil says. It can’t be too long or too short, and it must be clearly attributed to one speaker whose name is only 11 or 12 letters.

Quip quest: Weil starts with a humorous quote, which he finds by searching the Internet, reading The New Yorker or researching his favorite comedians and writers, such as Andy Borowitz, Susan Orlean, and even (although his name is 13 letters) Demetri Martin. His best source: Mark Twain.

Off limits to Weil are quotes that aren’t “family-friendly.” He also has a “philosophical objection” to using gaffes from politicians and ideologues who aren’t trying to be funny. He will, however, use flubs from the likes of Paris Hilton, because there’s little chance she will be running the country someday.

“And, of course, 80% of jokes are Jewish,” he says with a grin.

Try this acrostic created by John Weil especially for JStyle readers. Solution on p. 49.

How do you do that? It can take anywhere from 2-12 hours for Weil to break a single quote into its component letters and find anagrams to serve as the puzzle clues. New software called Enigmacross speeds up the process. There are anagram-generating websites, but “none of them

isn’t a real phrase people say.”

And after all that work, some puzzles still get rejected by PD fact checkers. “They rejected one because I spelled likable with an e,” Weil says. “It’s a variant spelling!”

The clues that bind: Weil says he couldn’t have discovered, pursued or succeeded at his new career without the support of his wife of 28 years Wendy; son Zak, 28; and daughter Abbie, 26, currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Slavic studies at The University of Texas in Austin. Zak, who works at Telarc music company in Beachwood, helped his father get started by giving him computer tutorials.

Zak is currently engaged, and his future in-laws, it turns out, are puzzle fans. The whole family now does Weil’s daily “Solve and Smile.” “It’s brought us closer together,” says the puzzle master.

Puzzle passion: Why do we love our puzzles? Weil has a theory.

Kosher eating requires some careful planning, but it is easier to avoid pork in Bosnia than elsewhere in the Balkans, due to the large Muslim presence. Grilled patties of spiced ground meat are the ubiquitous snack; fresh, tomato-based salads and refreshing local beers are also popular.

But if there is one thing that seems to unite all Bosnians – Christian and Muslim, old and young, male and female – it is coffee. Strong, thick Turkish-style coffee in tiny cups is a Balkan obsession – preferably enjoyed over backgammon in a haze of cigarette smoke. Bosnians are highly social, and cafés are full day and night.

The historic Jewish quarter, known as “El Cortijo,” is adjacent to the Old City (its boundaries are generally considered to be Ferhadija, Mustafa Mula Beseckija, Gazi Husrev Begova and Jelice Streets).

The city’s oldest synagogue, which dates from the 16th century, today houses Sarajevo’s Jewish Museum. Its artifacts, photographs and Ladino texts tell the story of a well-integrated community that distinguished itself professionally, commercially and intellectually – boasting seminaries and one of the region’s few rabbinic dynasties – before all but disappearing in

Sophisticated. Not Not Stuffy.

Ashkenazic Synagogue – a grand, turn-of-the-20th-century Moorish-style building – and the neighboring Jewish Community Center. The muchvisited Jewish cemetery, located on a green hillside just out of town, is one of the most ethnically fascinating in Europe, with inscriptions in multiple languages.

Sarajevo’s Jewish expression is not limited to worship. During the Bosnian War, the religiously sidelined Jewish organizations were prominent in humanitarian activities. And today, a thriving gallery shows Jewish art in the Novi Hram (New Synagogue), a former temple adjacent to the Old Synagogue.

Art galleries of all stripes are sprouting up around the central city, signs of a cultural revival in full flower after the lean war years. For such a laidback town, Sarajevo also has quite an invigorating nightlife: Bars and cafés in the Old City explode with live music after dark, the wild rhythms of Balkan gypsy fiddles and clarinets mingling with Oriental-tinged pop.

It would be a shame to visit Bosnia without a side trip to the ancient city of Mostar, a few hours south. Spanning the Neretva River, Mostar is widely considered the most stunning place in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its ancient stone buildings, graceful arches, and dramatic mountain scenery give Mostar a mystical beauty.

All of Bosnia mourned in 1993 when Mostar’s iconic, 400-year-old Stari Most (Old Bridge) collapsed from shelling. The bridge’s reconstruction

“Wine has high antioxidant levels due to the polyphenols included,” says Carolyn Wente, CEO of California’s Wente Vineyards, the country’s oldest, continuously operated family-owned winery. “A wine country secret is that those antioxidants act as protectors against skin deterioration, defending it against damage.”

While the French were exploring the idea of “vinotherapy” a while ago, it’s now making headlines across the world – and showing up in shops and spas closer to home. Profiles in media outlets like “The Today Show” and luxury publications like Departures magazine and Spafinder.com are touting such vinotherapy treatments as crushed-grape seed scrubs, soaks in cabernet wine baths, and honey-wine wraps as the next great anti-aging spa solutions.

After a skin-abusing winter of dry air and cold winds, your skin could benefit from a sip of wine as much as you could. If you want to get in on the trend, there are plenty of ways to do so. And as word about vinotherapy spreads, cosmetic and skin care companies are now including crushed grapes, grape seeds, and even grapevine stems in their offerings. Products like Tone Vino Moisture Body Wash with Crushed Grape and Shea Butter make the vinotherapy trend more accessible. It offers the antioxidant power of crushed grapes, which leverages collagen-depleting free radicals – one of the major causes of signs of aging in your skin – right at home in your shower.

Incorporating wine into your beauty routine can now go beyond having a glass of wine with your bubble bath. With healthy anti-aging, skinsmoothing and moisturizing properties, it’s no surprise that grape-based skin care is becoming the next big thing in the beauty world. L
