Health is important to me.

That may sound like a dumb statement. I mean, I am the editor of a health magazine. I’ve often times felt that everybody (myself included) doesn’t spend enough time on ourselves.

We don’t take that time to get that workout in, on the weekends we sit all day and watch crappy TV or we decide to have that double-decker, bacon, egg cheeseburger instead of that salad. We need to start treating our bodies how they’re meant to be treated.

from the

ROLLIN’ ON THE RIVER

editor..

When we decided to make Sanford Health our cover story I was very excited. I was excited because of the important things Sanford does for the community, but more importantly I was excited for a personal reason. Sanford Health saved my life. I won’t go into details, but a year and a half ago I needed a heart valve replaced. If I didn’t have that valve replaced I probably would have died. The skilled doctors at Sanford saved my life.

I’m not alone in my story.

There are thousands of

people out there who owe the doctors and nurses at Sanford their lives. We need to take the time to recognize the hard work they put in everyday.

Our mission is to keep Fargo-Moorhead healthy, so we’ve tracked down tons of more information for you to read.

SHAPE

en years ago Jeff weighed 227 pounds, had a 42 inch waist and had never really worked out decently a day in his life. He wanted to change so he started educating himself on eating and exercising.

He spent nine months doing cardio and within that time lost 45 pounds and 10 inches on his waist. Then his wife complained he was “too small.� So Jeff started lifting at the gym. Two years later someone suggested he participate in a fitness show, and in March of 2007 Jeff competed in the Bodybuilding Upper Midwest Championship in Fargo. Read on to discover how Jeff changed his life and how you can too.

E IT UP

I drink a lot of water. During the off season I’ll drink some milk, but not very much. It’s pretty much straight up water or water mixed with a supplement.

Drink

I usually eat six or seven meals per day. My core diet is lean protein, so chicken and extra lean ground turkey, eggs, buffalo and some beef. I pair those with fiber and starch vegetables. Each meal I eat is usually 2 1/2 hours apart.

Diet

I do about ten minutes a day, that’s typically the Olympic goal to monitor heart rate.

When I’m in season I need to do more cardio to burn more calories.

Cardio

I typically work out my triceps and biceps together, I used to do them separately, now I alternate. Right now I am doing pyramid steps, but I change the style of lifting every four weeks.

ARMS

Legs I usually stick to the basics, like squats, leg extensions and leg curls. I don’t do all of them every time, I change it up.

Typically I am a high volume leg trainer.

3. Learn how to discipline – you have to celebrate small successes and correct your mistakes. If you’re not going to do something long-term, why bother?

2. Learn how to motivate yourself – motivation is like a campfire. You need fuel to keep the fire going. Gather as much motivation as you can.

1. Educate yourself – learn how your body works and hook up with a trainer on how to train right.

JEFF'S 3 GOLDEN RULES

There are a ton of cheat foods I love. French cooking is a hobby of mine. If I’m going to eat a cheat food – like a French chocolate cake – I want it to be the best it can be.

CENTERED ARO A new home of hope has arrived in fargo The Al and Johnne Bierdeman Center for Hope and Healing is changing lives in Fargo. This Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch site houses 16 boys and girls, but it’s much more than just a place for kids to live.

It’s a school, church, sanctuary... it’s a home for children who often never had a place to call home.

The Dakota Boys and Girls Ranch is a nonprofit, Christian agency that has helped over 1,000 children since their founding in 1952. The Center is the newest resource to be used in helping children.

The organization celebrated 60 years of service

this year and according to their January newsletter they employ over 500 people making it one of the top 100 largest employers in North Dakota. The Center for Hope and Healing allows many of these employees to be employed in the same building instead of spread out across all of Fargo. According to Clinical Program Director, Christina Hemmer, the Center for Hope and Healing houses a psychiatrist, around 30 direct care staff, three therapists, four nurses, media relations, administrative staff and much more.

A NEW TYPE OF RACE

Last year a new type of race rolled into Grand Forks. The first inline marathon arrived in the region last year, attracting over 200 people.

Executive director Laura Jelinek and her crew are ready for another successful

year. With a recreational full and half marathon as well as a professional full marathon Rollin’ on the River has an event for everyone.

Stride caught up with Laura Jelinek to discuss Rollin’ on the River.

Q&A with Laura Jelinek Stride: How did Rollin’ on the River get started?

Jelinek: The marathon came together very organically. I came up with the idea when I was rollerblading on the Greenway in Grand Forks. I was fairly new back in town and had done a lot of inline skating in my past. I had started getting involved with organizations in town and had heard others talking about starting up a marathon. I don’t really run, but I love the idea of communities having more events like that. While I was skating one day, I remembered that inline marathons exist and the more I let the idea settle

into my head, it seemed like it would be a perfect fit for Grand Forks. Then I started to research what it would take to start an event up. I then took it to a woman who was, ironically, one of my first figure skating instructors - Laurie Betting. I knew what I wanted to do but I didn’t know many people and she did. She got together a substantial group of people to weigh in on the idea and they liked it. We got really lucky with the individuals we crossed paths with and their willingness to get involved. Our first year was successful primarily because a few key groups within the city got on board and believed in it.

Stride: What are some things that are different than last year?

Jelinek: We’re building off a really great inaugural year and hoping we can double our numbers. We’re adding a Youth Half Marathon, changing the Pro Half Marathon to a full marathon and we’re adding an expo the night before the race. We’re trying to be realistic and make some logical growth moves. Hopefully it’ll all come together and be a strong, steady event that improves every year.

Stride: How manageable is an inline half or full marathon for the normal person?

Jelinek: When people hear the word “marathon” they get scared but on rollerblades it’s very doable, especially if you’re doing the half.

If you knew how to skate when you were a child, I think you can do this.

Stride: What’s an average inline marathon time?

Jelinek: Recreational half marathon: Around 1:15 to 1:30.

Recreational marathon: Around 2 to 2:30 Professional half marathon: Around 40 minutes.

Last year Rollin’ on the River attracted many skaters from Fargo. Dan Teske lives in Fargo but finished second place in the marathon. He is no stranger to skating and has been doing it for the last several years. Learn what it takes to be a competitive skater from someone who knows what he’s talking about.

“I do five to seven races a year. I only do one half a year and the rest are full.”

“Six weeks before a race I have a regiment I do. One day I do a regular day of training where I go all out, one day I do interval training and one day I go for a long distance at a slower pace, somewhere around 25 – 30 miles.”

Personal Record: 1:24 – set at the Duluth marathon about six months ago. I average around 1:30.

SANFORD HEALTH BLUEPRINT Sanford Health is saving lives everyday.

Read on to discover how they are doing this.

By Andrea Vorhees and Andrew Jason

Sanford has many construction projects going on, including a $541 million medical center in southwest Fargo, set to open in 2016.

Photos by Michael K. Smith

THE MAIN CAMPUS

There are 7,178 Sanford employees in the Fargo-Moorhead metro.

The doctors, nurses, therapists and thousands of other employees of Sanford Health have saved countless lives. Each day thousands of people work together to create a healthier community.

An entire magazine couldn’t cover everything that Sanford does to save lives. Here’s a look at five of the areas in which Sanford is changing lives. Take a look because one day the life they save could be yours.

Their combined team of surgeons, primary care sports physicians, physical therapists, certified athletic trainers, exercise specialists and researchers provide state-of-the-art treatments and rehabilitation.

Sanford Orthopedics and Sports Medicine treats patients of all ages, from infants to elderly with a focus on individual needs: bones, joint, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerve conditions and injuries.

No matter what it is that makes a patient feel like a competitor, Sanford Orthopedics and Sports Medicine is there for their training, treatment and to get them back to what it is they love to do.

SANFORD ORTHOPEDICS AND SPORTS MEDICINE In the past year, Fargo Sanford saw a 9 percent increase in hospital admissions.

Sanford Fargo Emergency center visits went up by 8 percent in the past year.

SANFORD HEART 42

At Sanford Heart, they make decisions every day that change lives. They see the fear and know that compassion is just as important as medical skill. Their leading cardiologists and specialists provide advanced cardiac care, surgery, prevention, emergency and rehabilitation and the latest in technology. But while they provide some of the most advanced heart care in the country, patients choose Sanford Heart because they understand that it takes courage, connection and compassion to choose a path that leads to better heart health.

In addition to providing innovative heart care, Sanford Heart maintains the latest in advanced cardiac diagnostic technology, which allows their physicians to detect and treat heart disease sooner and more effectively than ever.

43

SANFORD CHILDREN'S At Sanford Children’s, they deliver foundational care that’s tailored to children and stays focused on the family. Their hospitals and clinics, located across the upper Midwest and around the globe help transform a child’s world. They have more than 90 pediatric physicians and over 70 specialties and services. And their commitment to local programs and services help inform, educate and connect kids, families, advocates, researchers and health care professionals.

At Sanford Children’s Hospital in Fargo, their kid-friendly rooms, equipment and technology make their facility a place where healing goes hand in hand with fun and play. As a designee of the National Association of Children’s Hospitals and Related Institutions (NACHRI), they are a national leader in advancing children’s health care.

With the most advanced medical technology in the region, including the most comprehensive pediatric and neonatal intensive care units, their board-certified physicians, subspecialists, advanced practice nurses and child life specialists provide treatments that get kids and families back to what matters most - life.

About 58 percent of Sanford’s downtown Fargo campus patients come from outside the metro area.

SANFORD WOMEN'S At Sanford Women’s, their personal attention and medical expertise can help patients be healthy and well. They offer a wide range of services in cardiology, dermatology, eating disorders, family medicine, geriatric medicine, gynecologic oncology, internal medicine, maternal - fetal medicine, medical genetics, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedic surgery, reproductive endocrinology and urogynecology.

System wide they had over 4 million clinic visits in 2011.

SANFORD CANCER

Sanford has $3 billion in annual revenues.

From screening and diagnosis through treatment and remission, when it comes to the cancer journey, Sanford Cancer and the Roger Maris Cancer Center recognize and celebrate victories. Not just the victory of survival, but all the small and large victories along the way for patients as well as families and loved ones who travel the journey.

At Sanford Cancer, highly trained specialists deliver safe cancer care and treatment through advanced technology and state-of-the-art equipment. Sanford’s Medical Oncologists provide chemotherapy and other non-radiation and non-surgical cancer treatments.

With 19 double-boarded oncologists and full-service cancer centers, Sanford Cancer provides leading cancer therapy for patients of all ages.

*

Q AND A >> Stride: Talk about your nutrition.

Smock: For me (my diet) is something that I’ve practiced for a really long time. It doesn’t seem incredibly restrictive, although some people would see it that way. I eat a lot of fruits, vegetables and multi-grains. My protein sources are largely chicken and turkey. I eat red meat, maybe, once a week. I also eat lots of dried fruits, nuts and I supplement with a protein shake in the morning.

>> Stride: What is your normal recovery meal?

Smock: I tend to stick to lean protein so I’ll almost always have chicken breast in some form. Most often it’s like a chicken sandwich or wrap. Depending on how starving I am I’ll allow myself some starch. Usually after competition I’ll allow myself French Fries or something salty.

>> Stride: Talk about your hydration.

Smock: I probably have about 70 oz. of water a day. I practice in the mornings so I have a liter water bottle that I try and have gone by the time the workout is over so that’s a pretty good amount of my water intake. I also have a very strong addiction to carbonated water.

I’ll have some beer and wine occassionly. I don’t drink any pop or juice so my fluids are water, beer and wine. (Laughs) You can imagine at this time of the year if I have more than the normal size glass of beer or wine I’ll get a little bit tipsy so maybe once or twice a week I’ll have a glass of wine or beer.

>> Stride: What is going to be your celebratory dinner when you are done competing at the Olympics?

Smock: I don’t know about immediately after but for sure in next the three days I will have some form of chocolate sundae with chocolate goodness on it. I can just picture it. (Laughs)

>> Stride: How do you stay motivated?

Smock: After my training partner retired I had a lot of hours spent on the track alone in thought … after my success last year, winning the National Championships, I got to be very clear mentally why it is I do what I do. For me those answers are just because I really love training, competing and the feeling that I haven’t reached my potential. I want to do everything I can to get a little bit closer where I feel like I’m at my best.

Smock’s day of competition meals Oatmeal with peanut butter and some nut.

All I have is a turkey wrap or sandwich. The quantity depends on how quick after that my meet is. I like to leave about three or four hours before I start to warm up.

TIPS

TRAINING

What Is the best way to bring myself back to full health after I pull a hamstring or quadricep?

R.I.C.E- Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation should be done for acute injuries. I have also had great luck with acupuncture for acute and chronic injuries. After the injury has settled down, rehabilitation modalities, stretching and strength training routines will help you get back to full health and activity.

>>

R.I.C.E-

Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation.

>>

How do I create a consistent workout routine with such a busy schedule?

>>

First and foremost, your health and exercise must be a priority.

I find that my most consistent clients are those who workout right away in the morning. At Max Training we use intervaltraining workouts that last only 30 minutes for people who are crunched for time. The key is to find something you love whether it’s playing a sport, running or lifting weights.

>>

How does drinking energy drinks before, during or after a workout effect my body?

>>

I do not drink energy drinks and I do not recommend them to my clients. I believe that if someone is following the correct diet they can get all the energy they need from REAL food. I have followed the Paleo Diet for three years and I have had incredible results with eating REAL food.

>>

What should I eat to refuel after a workout without completely ruining the workout?

>>

It is best to eat within 15 – 30 minutes following a workout. It is important to replenish with carbohydrates, protein and of course fluids. A typical post-workout snack for me would include a hard-boiled egg, banana and water. It’s tempting for many people to reward themselves with junk food after a hard workout but remember, your next workout is only as good as your last recovery.

rchitecture is part of Craig Helenske. He has been working in the field for the past 35 years. He is now the owner of Helenske designs.

Helenske has worked on some of the most recognizable buildings in town including the campus

center at Concordia College, Pracs Research Institute, the FargoDome the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center downtown. Stride had a conversation with Helenske to discuss the past, present and future of Fargo.

PHOTOS: REPOR PHOTOGRAPHY

ERSATI

ON" Craig Helenske Founder: Helenske Design

STRIDE: Helenske Design has been apart of some of the most recognizable buildings in Fargo.

Which building are you most proud of?

Helenske: It’s fun for me because we really try to build a personal relationship with every client, whether they are commercial or residential. Whatever each building is, it’s pretty unique to our clients. It’s great satisfaction to have been involved in the Radisson Tower, because there are not that many high-rise buildings that get built in town.

It’s part of the skyway and it was the infancy

of trying to get downtown jump started back in the 80’s but fortunately working with Doug Burgum, and a few other players that made their mark downtown, kind of carried on to the younger generation. And, obviously the dome being the size that it is.

Being able to say you were involved with the dome is pretty important.

STRIDE: When you first got into design and architecture, did you ever think it would go this far?

Helenske: I don’t think anyone in their late teens or early 20’s knows where they are going in life. We are creatives, we are kind of a

hierarch between creative engineers and technical people. In some respects we are kind of orchestra leaders. We bring together a palette of people, bring together a palette of materials for art and make something happen. People always joke that architects know a little about a lot and a lot about a little. That’s really true.

You have to be very aware of a lot of things.

You have to be able to see the problems that people have, see the problems or the needs that they have and find a solution for them.

It’s a balance of aesthetics, money and time.

STRIDE: Talk about some of the charities and organizations you’re involved with.

Helenske: I was on the founding board for Habitat for Humanity back in the 90’s and worked with a variety of people. I did the same thing for River Keepers back in the late 80’s and early 90’s. We try, every year, to do a fair amount of gratis work, whether it’s a church group or work for a charity home here in Fargo.

STRIDE: What are some of the biggest changes you’ve seen in Fargo throughout your time here?

Helenske: When I first came to town, West Acres was still under construction, that was 1972.

They opened, I believe in fall of ’72, and you had to drive to West Acres on 13th Ave, which was a two lane mud covered road …seriously. It 67

was absolutely ridiculous. For you readers, you can put that little bit on what’s happened to the city of Fargo in a matter of 30 to 45 years … God, that sounds like a long time ago. It really is amazing. Or if you go over to the Fryn’ Pan, they always used to have these aerial pictures of Fargo in the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, and you just look at this huge growth and see a lot has happened now in the last decade.

STRIDE: Talk about the revitalization of downtown Fargo and how much farther it can go throughout the upcoming years.

Helenske: We have always been a part of the downtown community. The success of what’s happened in downtown Fargo, I think is partially due to the maturing of Fargo into a little bit more of a sophisticated community and the fact that the city put in some incentives, like storefront programs.

But I’d have to say, if it wasn’t for Doug Burgum, downtown Fargo would not be on the map. And the folks over at Zanbroz, I’d have to say they were at the forefront in really making a bold commitment to do something not just average, but really well. There was a lot of following along with the local restaurants, but the real energy didn’t happen until NDSU and the HoDo made their commitment, and I think that gave a lot of people confidence to say we can do this. When I first came to town in ’72, downtown was still the hub of all majority of retail traffic. Then it just slowly egged away. It took until a few years ago for everybody to see it wasn’t broken and everyone came back into it. But, now you go downtown, and you can’t find parking places … streets are full. You got every generation being seen and participating, you’ve got all kinds of multicultural aspects introduced. It’s a tremendous thing, so I don’t see any limit to it.
