HIT THE BEACH! THE NORTH SHORE OFFERS PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITY TO GET OUT AND ENJOY THE SAND AND SUNSHINE

AS ILLINOIS MOVES INTO PHASE 3 OF ITS RESTORE ILLINOIS PLAN TO REOPEN, LOCAL BUSINESSES PREPARE TO KEEP GUESTS SAFE

BY KEMMIE RYAN THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

May showers bring … dining al f resco?

That ’s not exactly how the saying goes, but it could become the “new normal,” at least for now. On the heels of Memorial Day, local businesses are preparing to reopen their doors.

“The wonderful news is that as of Friday, May 29, we will be able to move into Phase 3 of reopening our state, allowing several additional categories of businesses to open their doors,” says Joanna Rolek, Executive Director of the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce.

Restrictions began going into place in Illinois in early March, with Governor JB Prtizker issuing an official Stay at Home Order on March 21. Following Governor Pritzker’s Executive Order, a five-phased plan to reopen the state was created and released on May 5 with guidance f rom the Continued on PG 12

A really great umbrella policy.

It’s the second best medicine.

It’s much easier to laugh in the face of adversity when you’re properly covered against it. Life goes better when you’re prepared. We partner with our customers to discover the pain points - carriers who have raised rates, changes in your situation, blind spots in coverage. We present premiere insurance companies - Chubb, Pure, Cincinnati, Nationwide Private Client and AIG - to protect the owners of high value homes and their possessions. Then we navigate to good, informed decisions.

It’s amazing how the right umbrella policy and other preventive, strategic instruments can inoculate you against trouble. Call us to start a conversation - it won’t hurt a bit.

The Wilmette Park District expects to open up access to water and swimming as the third phase of Illinois Governor J.B Pritzker's 5 Phase Plan commences on May 29. The park district says it expects patrons to practice social distancing and that same-household groups will be limited to 10 individuals or less. Park district staff will be monitoring the beach to ensure social distancing guidelines are followed.

BACK TO WORK CAMPUS2CAREER LAUNCHES NEW EMPLOYMENT COACHING SERVICE IN RESPONSE TO COVID-19.

BY MITCH HURST THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

With unemployment numbers skyrocketing by the week due to Covid-19, Campus2Career Transition Ser vices (C2C) has launched a new coaching ser vice to assist individuals looking for new employment opportunities or who may want to pivot careers based on long-term changes in their industries.

Launched more than 10 years ago, C2C has focused on preparing college graduates for the workforce. Through coaching, résumé preparation, inter view prep, and network building, C2C has a 98 percent record of placing new graduates in the industr y of their choice. The company is now offering a limited version of its coaching ser vices to help individuals, who have already started their careers.

"We know the jobs landscape is going to look a lot different when the economy fully opens up and people go back to work," says Frank Schroeder, C2C's Founder and CEO. "O ur coaches and network of advisors are second-to-none, and we feel we can help a lot of individuals whose jobs have been impacted by Covid-19."

Research shows that college graduates who get a first job that pays in the low $50,000s will earn more than three times as much in the first ten years as graduates who get first jobs pay ing in the low $20,000s. The difference can be nearly $2 million over the course of a single career.

MOVING FORWARD

uncertainty of the future," Schroeder says. "Because we were able to be successful after the recession, we feel we're well positioned to help individuals get their careers back on track during and after the Covid-19 crisis."

C2C 2.0 will focus on providing coaching ser vices, including an assessment of clients' careers and gaining an understanding of their current situation and career goals. The company remains well positioned to help with resume preparation and assisting clients with expanding their business networks. " We m a i n t a i n a v e r y strong roster of coaches and business advisors and they stand ready to help individuals who have been impacted by Covid-19 and who have the desire to be prepared for the new employment landscape," Schroeder says. "The job market is— and will continue to be—intensely competitive, and we feel our c lients are wellprepared to win."

Phase 3, also known as Recovery, follows the Flattening phase, and the focus is to reopen certain businesses while maintaining a stable or declining infection rate f rom COVID-19 through safety measures, robust testing, and contact tracing.

So, what is opening on May 29? To name a few: restaurants and bars for outdoor dining, gyms and fitness centers, salons and barbershops, clothing retailers, youth sports, and more. As with any move forward, there will be some adjustments needed by not only business owners and operators, but the guests who plan to visit as well. Here are some of the key guidelines to look for in the upcoming weeks: RESTAURANTS AND BARS will be allowed to open for outdoor dining. Businesses may serve guests on open rooftops, connected outdoor dining spaces, or indoor spaces where at least 50 percent of windows or doors can be removed and guests are within eight feet of the opening. Dining parties must consist of no more than six people.

For individuals looking for a new job, or wanting to restart their careers in a new i n d u s t r y, t h e s a m e i d e a applies. Getting the best— and the best paying—job at any point in a career will make an exponential difference over time.

"W hile we continue to ac hie ve a strong success record helping position college graduates to find great jobs, our coaching and other services can be of value to those whose careers are already under way," S hroeder says. "Especially coming out of a crisis situation like Covid-19, we can help qualified individuals recalibrate and reenergize their careers."

Schroeder notes that C2C was launched after the 2008 recession when he saw an opportunity to lend the substantial business network, which he developed over the course of his long career in business, to help graduates transition f rom college life to office life in what proved to be a tight job market.

Because of the blistering and, for some with EB, permanent scarring, EB can be a socially isolating condition. Even up through her first college years at Rensselaer Polytechnic University in upstate New York Gosselin hid her condition from others.

“Even through college I tried to hide it. I would wear certain clothes or not participate in certain activities,” Gosselin says. “I was worried that people thought it was gross or that I was contagious.”

After she had her first daughter, she started having long online discussions with other women suffering from EB who were worried about passing the disease on to their children.

BORN WITH A RARE CONDITION, NORTH SHORE RESIDENT CREATES A COMMUNITY OF SUPPORT FOR OTHERS WHO SHARE IT.

Imagine you couldn’t pick up your newborn child without harming yourself. Or you developed swelling on your hands simply by pushing your child around Disneyworld in a stroller. Or that simple, everyday activities caused blistering on your feet so bad you couldn’t walk. Imagine you’re Megan Gosselin.

Gosselin suffers from a mild, but still painful, form of epidermolysis bullosa (EB), a group of rare conditions that result in easy blistering of the skin or mucous membranes.

As Gosselin explains, human skin has two layers and most people have a layer of “velcro” between them that both separates them and holds them together. Those with EB are missing that middle layer, which makes it much easier to damage the skin. For some, the disease is life threatening.

“You have to watch the clothes you wear, the shoes you wear, and be really in touch with your body,” Gosselin says. “It looks like lots and lots of blisters and those blisters can cluster and last for months. Eighty percent of days I have a blister.”

Gosselin was the first member of her family to be diagnosed with EB and, pre-Internet, her parents had to scramble to get information and figure out how to respond. Since then, research has advanced to develop treatments for the one in 20,000 Americans that suffer from the condition. Two years ago, when she was just 29, Gosselin testified before the FDA. “I’m a manufacturing engineer for GE so thankfully most of my day is spent analyzing data on a computer and not having to use my hands or feet to earn a living,” she told the committee. “There are days when I cannot hold a pen to write or dread a new introduction where a handshake can bring tears to my eyes.

The novel Covid-19 Virus, or the coronavirus, has upended life as we know it, at least for now and the coming days. On Friday, March 20, Governor Pritzker issued Executive Order 2020-10, ordering all Illinoisans to stay in their homes to prevent further spread of the virus.

It’s important to note this is not a “lockdown.”

Illinoisans can leave their homes to obtain essential products and services, such as purchasing food at a grocery store, doing their laundry at a laundromat, or taking their dogs for a walk.

Ravinia is the first local market to implement a one-way pedestrian walkway to assure safety, social distancing, and a smooth traffic flow. Six-foot separation markings will be also be indicated on the ground.

As an added service, an online portal to preview a list of purveyors, products, and pricing will enable the public to pre-purchase for quick pickup at curbside without entering the market, or for quick pickup and payment at the vendor booths.

This new online resource for both vendors and customers provides quick and easy shopping.

Unlike in previous years, customers now have the ability to visit raviniafarmersmarket.com to preview

a list of vendors, what they are selling, and the market layout.

Pre-ordering allows for quick customer pickup from the vendors as they walk through the new market site; or, for those who do not feel comfort-

The market will run Wednesdays from 8 a.m.

able walking the market, they can pre-purchase online and request to pickup at the advance preorder Will Call tent located at the farmers market entrance on Roger Williams and Dean avenues.

Customers will also have the opportunity to

pre-purchase items from new Ravinia Farmers Market vendors that may not be able to be on-site.

Ravinia Farmers Market staff will be on-site to make sure all new COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions are followed:

to 2 p.m., with priority shopping hours for highrisk shoppers from 7 to 8 a.m.

THIS IS CUCKOO

SNIPPETS OF NATURE TO ENJOY ON THE NORTH SHORE

BY MIKE LUBOW ILLUSTRATION BY KIRSTEN ULVE

You have a basketball hoop on the garage. These days, with social distancing still a thing, you enjoy shooting baskets by yourself. You’re an old pro at this game. It’s unlikely that something 4-inches tall could block you. But that’s what’s happening.

Your basket has a bird living under it. Every time you toss a shot, the bird pops out—like a cuckoo clock, although the bird’s a tiny “house wren,” not a cuckoo. On hikes in North Shore woodlands you’ve seen real cuckoos. The nearly footlong “yellow-billed” variety according to your field guide.

| SATURDAY MAY 30 | SUNDAY MAY 31 2020

None of them would want to live under a basket.

But a little wren would. It’s got a nest tucked below the hoop. You can see bits of straw. You can’t in good conscience shoot baskets without imagining the thundering shaking your shots cause. You look at the basketball sitting on your driveway. A little solo exercise would feel good for cabin fever during these Covid-19 stay-at-home days. Weather’s good. You want to play ball. But a wren has blocked you. It may not be a cuckoo. But that name is a good way to describe the situation you’re facing.

This column was adapted by Mike Lubow from his book: Wild Notes: Observations over time about birds and other fleeting things. Available on amazon.com.

YOU CAN’T BEAT DRUM’S TIMELY MESSAGES ryout or curbside service. Or by providing a meal they’d be able to cook at home. Or by giving recipes to customers. There’s value in attentive, engaging service.”

Drum grew up in tiny Media, Pennsylvania, about a half-marathon distance from Philadelphia. Soccer was his sport. His pithy self-assessment of his ability on pitches: “Not very good.” Service and patriotism appealed to him and doubled the size of his heart. Drum looked up to Vietnam vets and way up to his Uncle Jack, a retired naval aviator who liked to sail and fly a small plane.

“We’d hang out,” the nephew recalls.

“My uncle was adventurous.”

Drum went straight from high school to Naval Station Great Lakes near North Chicago, the U.S. Navy’s only boot camp.

A former SEAL named Pete, quiet and mild-mannered and selfless, later served as one of Drum’s mentors before he completed Basic Underwater Demolition/SEAL (BUD/S) training in 1996.

“It was a thrill for me, and educational, being able to talk with a real SEAL,” Drum says. “I soaked up everything Pete said. Remember, that was a time before anybody could check out a YouTube video to see how a SEAL candidate trains. I was not good at math. I was slow, one of the slowest runners. I was doubting myself. But Pete helped me tremendously, trained me up.”

Tours of duty landed Drum in Afghanistan, Iraq, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Combattested en route to achieving the highest U.S. Navy SEAL enlisted rank, he ended up with 27 years of experience leading teams and executing missioncritical

Forty-six-year-old Steve Drum stands 6 feet and weighs 220 pounds and could easily pass for either an All-Pro NFL linebacker for the Philadelphia Eagles or the Brawny Paper Towels Man. But the Lake Bluff resident and retired Navy SEALS Master Chief didn’t play a down of football for Penncrest High School (Pa.) Lions teams, and serving as the flannel-shirt-clad pitchman for strong and absorbent sheets would shrink his opportunities—as a rookie speaker/consultant/coach—to help local businesses and business leaders tackle all kinds of challenges, including the countless ones associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Do you feel ready for your next highstakes moment?” a pacing Drum, in fullblown Win One For the Gipper mode, asks a room full of rapt folks in the precoronavirus era. “When fear or anger or frustration or anxiety enters the room, it can divert our focus away from where it needs to be. And you’re not going to rise to the occasion. Instead, you’ll fall to your level of training, to your level of preparation.

“But if you have that deliberate process where you commit, prepare, execute, and reflect,” the father of a 14- and an 11-year-old continues, “you’re not going to react blindly, you’re not going to freeze, you’re not going to underperform. Instead, you will respond with the right action, with the right choice. And you will succeed.”

Suddenly, for those listening to Drum’s inspiring messages, juggling a couple of Volkswagens and davenports on a tightrope doesn’t seem so far-fetched anymore.

Drum conducted a Business Workout webinar— “Your Leadership Mindset: You’ve Got to Be In It to Win It”—for the Lake Forest/Lake Bluff Chamber of Commerce on April 28.

He showed how to shift one’s business and encouraged attendees to make the shift now. He also explained how a business can control its destiny by creating it today. His thoroughly prepared presentation touched on resiliency and pivoting and fearlessness and positivity.

“Take an Italian restaurant in an early phase of the pandemic, for example,” Drum says in a phone interview. “It’s no longer able to serve food to customers at a table inside.

But it’s able to satisfy customers through car-

performance strategies.

His final stop before retiring late last year was at the Naval Service Training Command at USO of Illinois Great Lakes Center, where he co-developed—with a clinical psychologist and a Navy chaplain—and taught “Warrior Toughness” training.

The order he had received before devising the culture-changing program: “Make our sailors tougher.”

Business leaders navigating pandemic waters now get to absorb Drum’s sound principles and airtight strategies.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my time in the military was training the members in my unit... It wasn’t a glamorous aspect, but I loved that leadership challenge.

Two of the strategies: identify and commit to mastering essential aspects of your craft (“Be brilliant at the basics,” Drum annotates); and develop a deliberate process to study lessons learned in preparation for what’s next.

Business executives strive to develop highperformance leadership programs that empower teams to achieve exceptional results when the pressure is most intense. Drum essentially did just that for underlings in arenas that featured flying bullets instead of bullet points in a memo.

“One of the most rewarding aspects of my time in the military was training the members in my unit, making sure everybody was firmly prepared,” says Drum, a Lake Bluffian since 2015. “It wasn’t a glamorous aspect, but I loved that leadership challenge, and now, as a consultant and speaker, I’ll love being able to meet people in person and speak with them at events again after this pandemic ends.”

Three weeks after attending one of Drum’s speaking engagements earlier this year, a woman figured Drum’s messages would have “drifted away amidst the bustle of daily life.” But she was wrong.

Drum’s words stuck around. And continue to resonate. She recalls Drum’s memorable anecdotes before walking into high-stakes client meetings— and before helping “my daughter with her homework.”

In between webinars and Zoom meetings and podcast appearances, Drum likes to pistol-shoot recreationally, play the electric guitar, and be “a bourbon nerd.” A vintage muscle car buff, he owned a ’69 Charger R/T and a ’70 ’Cuda convertible.

“I sold both,” Drum says.

Had to. Drum was too busy driving his points home for audiences.
