News Image

From left, Yaneth Medina, Jacqueline Ruiz and Maria Castro attend the Today’s Inspired Latina Holiday Party and Awards. Medina and Castro both received the TIL Women of the Year Award for 2020.

“2020 will be the year of the woman, and we all hold the responsibility of lifting up every woman that we can.”

Recognized for their outstanding work in elevating Latinas in the Chicago area, Today’s Inspired Latina (TIL) authors Yaneth Medina and Maria Castro became the recipients of the third annual Today’s Inspired Latina Women of the Year Award for 2020.

Jacqueline Ruiz, creator of the highly successful and empowering TIL book series, presented the prestigious awards to the women during the TIL Annual Holiday Party and Awards Ceremony at the Wintrust Grand Banking Hall in Chicago. The series, which contains six volumes, showcases the poignant collection of 152 inspiring stories from Hispanic female authors all over the world.

The TIL Woman of the Year Award is presented to a contributing author who exemplifies the values of authenticity, passion, and integrity and makes an active impact in the community to elevate fellow Latinas.

Ruiz selected Medina and Castro for their tireless support of promoting the Hispanic community in a positive and uplifting light.

“These women have been instrumental in offering avenues for local Latinas to share their personal stories and missions in life to many audiences,” Ruiz said. “Our stories deserved to be heard by everyone so they understand the Hispanic community’s positive contributions on local, regional and national levels.”

Medina, a Vol. II author, is the senior vice president and head of retail banking for Schaumburg Bank & Trust and St. Charles Bank & Trust, Wintrust Community Banks. For five consecutive years, Wintrust hosted free special monthly networking events presenting TIL throughout its suburban locations.

“To be chosen as a 2020 TIL of the year, is such an honor and blessing for me! I’ve been fortunate to have witnessed the magic from the launch of Vol. I, five years ago,” she said. “ At that event, I thought to myself… ‘What a beautiful way to exhibit people’s successes in life!’ One year later, I was one of those authors who shared her story. Shortly afterwards we began the Wintrust and TIL partnership. Our mission is to continue to impact our communities and elevate others by sharing stories of the TIL authors. I am excited to see the fruitful happenings for 2020 and most importantly, I am ready to continue to spread the magic and make a difference!”

Castro, a Vol. V author, is the regional external affairs manager at Comcast in the Greater Chicago Region. She was chosen for her dedication, commitment and ongoing volunteer work with the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and Telemundo Chicago’s Action Board.

“The work that has to be done in our communities is endless, and to those who much is given much is expected,” Castro said. “I’m up for the challenge.”

In accepting her award, Castro stated that she will continue to support all women through her philanthropic and work endeavors.

“2020 will be the year of the woman, and we all hold the responsibility of lifting up every woman that we can,” she said.

NeoTract Designates Dr. Ian M. Stormont as UroLift® Center of Excellence


News Image

“Dr. Ian M. Stormont has earned the UroLift Center of Excellence designation for his dedication to improving the lives of men who previously suffered from BPH symptoms and delivering superior patient outcomes with the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson

NeoTract, a wholly owned subsidiary of Teleflex Incorporated (NYSE:TFX) focused on addressing unmet needs in the field of urology, today announced that Dr. Ian M. Stormont MD, Grant Regional Health in Lancaster, WI, has been designated as a UroLift® Center of Excellence. The designation recognizes that Dr. Stormont has achieved a high level of training and experience with the UroLift® System and demonstrated a commitment to exemplary care for men suffering from symptoms associated with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH), also known as enlarged prostate.

Recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines, the FDA-cleared Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to BPH. The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue.

The UroLift Center of Excellence program is designed to highlight urologists who are committed to educating their patients on BPH and the UroLift System as a treatment option and consistently seek to deliver excellent patient outcomes and experiences.

“Dr. Ian M. Stormont has earned the UroLift Center of Excellence designation for his dedication to improving the lives of men who previously suffered from BPH symptoms and delivering superior patient outcomes with the UroLift System treatment,” said Dave Amerson, president of the Teleflex Interventional Urology business unit.

Over 40 million men in the United States are affected by BPH, a condition that occurs when the prostate gland that surrounds the male urethra becomes enlarged with advancing age and begins to obstruct the urinary system. Symptoms of BPH often include interrupted sleep and urinary problems and can cause loss of productivity, depression and decreased quality of life.

Medication is often the first-line therapy for enlarged prostate, but relief can be inadequate and temporary. Side effects of medication treatment can include sexual dysfunction, dizziness and headaches, prompting many patients to quit using the drugs. For these patients, the classic alternative is surgery that cuts, heats or removes prostate tissue to open the blocked urethra. While current surgical options can be very effective in relieving symptoms, they can also leave patients with permanent side effects such as urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction, and retrograde ejaculation.

About the UroLift® System

The FDA-cleared UroLift System is a proven, minimally invasive technology for treating lower urinary tract symptoms due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The UroLift permanent implants, delivered during a minimally invasive transurethral outpatient procedure, relieve prostate obstruction and open the urethra directly without cutting, heating, or removing prostate tissue. Clinical data from a pivotal 206-patient randomized controlled study showed that patients with enlarged prostate receiving UroLift implants reported rapid and durable symptomatic and urinary flow rate improvement without compromising sexual function*1,2. Patients also experienced a significant improvement in quality of life. Over 100,000 men have been treated with the UroLift System in the U.S. Most common adverse events reported include hematuria, dysuria, micturition urgency, pelvic pain, and urge incontinence. Most symptoms were mild to moderate in severity and resolved within two to four weeks after the procedure. The Prostatic Urethral Lift procedure using the UroLift System is recommended for the treatment of BPH in both the American Urological Association and European Association of Urology clinical guidelines. The UroLift System is available in the U.S., Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico and South Korea. Learn more at http://www.UroLift.com.

Monster Tree Service Awards Territory in North Carolina


Monster Tree Service

“I’ve lived in 12 different states,” said Dhunjishaw, “And nothing compares to coastal North Carolina. When I decided to step away from the hospitality industry, I knew that I didn’t want to move my family away from this area or be required to travel for my career.

Monster Tree Service,the nation’s first and fastest-growing tree service franchise, is expanding in North Carolina. Recently featured by SUCCESS magazine, Thrive Global, and Franchise Times, the Monster Tree Service franchise continues to build on its rapid three-year franchise system growth.

Business entrepreneur Paul Dhunjishaw has purchased the rights to a Monster Tree Service Territory in Caswell Beach, North Carolina, covering the Wilmington Metro Area, Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender Counties and surrounding areas. After a successful career as an executive for a major hotel and resort company, Dhunjishaw is eager to use his financial and customer service experience to pursue his dream of small business ownership.

“I’ve lived in 12 different states,” said Dhunjishaw, “And nothing compares to coastal North Carolina. When I decided to step away from the hospitality industry, I knew that I didn’t want to move my family away from this area or be required to travel for my career. Monster Tree Service is a great opportunity for me to live and work in the community that I enjoy. I feel the business model and corporate support will help me become a successful business owner in this area.”

Josh Skolnick, CEO and Founder of Monster Tree Service, is confident that Dhunjishaw will be a tremendous asset to the Monster Tree Service franchise.

“Paul is a perfect fit for the Monster Tree Service brand,” says Skolnick. “He has an incredible work ethic, an unparalleled drive to succeed and a keen understanding of business and his community. We are very glad to have him on our team. I can’t wait to see his growth in the coming years.”

Monster Tree Service is the only franchise tree company capitalizing on the under-served $17 billion tree service industry. Monster Tree Service has achieved consistent year-over-year, 5 percent growth since 2009, resulting in a $10+ million business. Because it’s a high-upside opportunity, and a recession-proof business, Monster Tree Service expects to achieve $100 million in sales by 2021.

“We officially opened for business in late September, right in the middle of Atlantic hurricane season,” said Dhunjishaw. “Coastal North Carolina is prone to hurricanes and storms, so we get a lot of calls for preventative work. You don’t want a tree hanging over your roof when a storm is coming. We’re also excited to offer the community our wide array of services, including, plant health care, tree removal, shrub pruning and more.”

Over the past decade, Skolnick has aggressively built Monster Tree Service into a thriving national franchise system, working day and night to build the company into a multi-million-dollar business with more than 62 franchise partners and 166 territories sold in 28 states.

Today’s Inspired Latina Releases Today’s Inspired Young Latina In National Book Launch


News Image

Several young Hispanic women celebrate their becoming first-time authors with TIL creator Jacqueline S. Ruiz at the book launch of “Today’s Inspired Young Latina.”

“When I was in high school, there was very little representation of Latino authorship. There were very few stories that I could identify with or relate to culturally. These ladies are changing that narrative and unleashing the endless possibilities for their generation.”

Several young Hispanic women showcased their gratitude and joy as proud first-time authors as they and Jacqueline S. Ruiz, the creator of the international Today’s Inspired Latina (TIL) book series, launched the book debut of “Today’s Inspired Young Latina” in front of friends and family.

The festive event recently took place at J. C. Restoration, a premier Hispanic-owned restoration company in Rolling Meadows. Written by Ruiz and Alexandria Rios Taylor with a preface by acclaimed Hispanic actor Edward James Olmos, the book details stories of young Latinas overcoming obstacles and creating their own opportunities, as they become part of a dynamic and inspirational generation in American society.

“Today is another amazing representation of what it means to believe in a dream that is bigger than all of us,” said Ruiz, one of the book’s co-authors. “And today we have the privilege of elevating 14 young Latinas that reached out to us. They believe in something. They wowed us with their presentations that captivated our hearts and minds.”

The contributing authors in the book are: Evelyn Lozano, Alondra Ivette Guevara, Arianna Urrutia, Gina Aridal Pardino, Giselle Gonzalez, Andrea Vallejo, Samantha Ante, Maria Clara Ospina, Daniela Limon, Yahayra Argueta, Erica Franco, Gabrielle Hernández Franch, Evelyn Lonzano, Scarlett Magaña-Singh.

Ruiz explained that the idea about getting young Latinas to share their stories came from TIL author Elizabeth Colón-Rivera. From then the seed was planted to premiere the first ever Young LATINATalks at Naperville’s North Central College in September. A natural extension was to then capture these stories in an anthology book.

Hernández Franch, one of the book’s authors, wrote about her initial dreams of becoming a doctor. Life and God had other plans for her. Becoming a contributor was as an amazing journey for her.

“People say that there are three things that change your life,” she said. “It’s the people you meet, the events you attend and the books that you’ve read have the power to change your life. And I’m here at this stage, at this incredible event with the right people holding the right book.”

Taylor, also the dean of students at Glenbard West High School in Glen Ellyn, would have appreciated a book like this when she was a teenager. Unfortunately, there were not many inspirational stories to find. She hopes that will change with this new book.

“When I was in high school, there was very little representation of Latino authorship,” she said. “There were very few stories that I could identify with or relate to culturally. These ladies are changing that narrative and unleashing the endless possibilities for their generation.”

Today’s Young Inspired Latina is available on Amazon for $14.97.

Pastor MacDonald Apreku’s newly released “The Verdict of Decisions” is an enthralling book that helps the readers make a positive decision in any circumstance


News Image

“The Verdict of Decisions”: an engrossing book that explains to the readers the importance of decision making as a constant requirement in every situation in life. “The Verdict of Decisions” is the creation of published author Pastor MacDonald Apreku, the pastor of New Dimension Christian Center who has written many pamphlets and books and has mentored a lot of people into great and successful ministries. He is a very seasoned speaker who coaches and speaks broadly in seminars.

Pastor Apreku writes, “Every life has a beginning. Your life began when two people a man and a woman or one of these two decided to cause an action. That act could be a well-thought-through event or a random one, by consensus addendum, or otherwise. What is certain is that either one or both parties made a decision, whether it was a good one or not, one thing is indisputably certain; you are a product of decision.

“Decisions are a constant requirement, without which nothing can happen. However, decisions making is just the beginning of big things you will encounter. May it be known when you make a decision; you are just stepping into the unpredictable waters that lead to unprecedented ends. These ends nonetheless may vary due to certain factors. When you were born, you were born into a complex school—the world. You are not the victim of the school; instead, it is your decisions that make you a winner or a loser or yet still a victim. In the world of decisions, the only promising school principal is wisdom. In all your getting, get understanding and be cautiously guided by wisdom.”

Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Pastor Apreku’s new book leaves a wonderful reading experience to the readers as this self-help book allows them to get to know how decision making works and how to decide with a positive outcome.

This book provides the readers with an example of how decisions affects one’s life and why decision making is considered to be the constant requirement of every single step that everyone takes in their daily lives.

View a synopsis of “The Verdict of Decisions” on YouTube.

Consumers can purchase “The Verdict of Decisions” at traditional brick & mortar bookstores, or online at Amazon.com, Apple iTunes store, or Barnes and Noble.
