Those Who Can, Teach AT ITS LATEST EXHIBIT, THE ART CENTER HIGHLAND PARK SHOWS OFF ITS OWN TALENT. EDITED BY DEBBIE LEE THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Since its inception in 1960, The Art Center Highland Park (TACHP) has enriched the lives of countless North Shore residents through its visual arts classes and workshops. But for all the aspiring artists it has nurtured over the years, little is said about the people behind those efforts. Now is their time to shine. On January 10-January 31, TACHP will host In View. Playfully billed as a “show off show,” the gallery-wide exhibit will display a broad selection of works from faculty and members of TACHP. “Each year I am blown away by the quality of work,” says TACHP Curator Caren Helene Rudman. “We sometimes face the problem of having too much of a good thing. It can be overwhelming, but in a good way... This show is definitely up to the highest standards; we can’t wait to share it.” Bud Greene, a dichroic glass and jewelry instructor, is a veteran member who has had ties to TACHP since the days of Ann Rosen [former Continued on PG 7

NORTH SHORE RESIDENTS SPARK ENLIGHTENMENT IN THE FREEZING WATERS OF LAKE MICHIGAN. BY DEBBIE LEE THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

It’s Sunday morning at Sunrise Beach in Lake Bluff. Although this particular December day is an unseasonably warm 45 degrees, there are plenty of clues that we are nowhere close to beach season. Dead oak leaves rustle in the sand, outcroppings of boulders are shellacked in ice, and dogs are bundled up in sweaters to match their walkers. But by noon, a small crowd has convened by the shore. Ten men and women, stripped down to their bathing suits, begin a series of breathing exercises led by a calm (but authoritative) male voice on a portable speaker. Their faces are a mix of tentative, excited, and determined. Next, they collectively march into the frigid waters of Lake Michigan for the ultimate test of their mental, physical, and spiritual endurance. This diverse group of North Shore residents are disciples of the Wim Hof Method (WHM). Hof—a Dutch athlete for which the method is named—is known for physical achievements that defy comprehension, including running the fastest half-marathon barefoot on ice and snow. Proponents believe that through his specific regimen of cold therapy, controlled breathing, and meditation, the human body can overcome inflammation, boost immunity, and modify brain activity. Hosted by Lake Bluff husband and wife team James Stewart (a certified Wim Hof instructor) and Maya Comerota Stewart, this informal gathering has rapidly grown by word-of-mouth over the last year. A New Year’s Day event, called Ignite 2020, attracted more than 40 people— some traveling from as far as Iowa—to the snow-covered sands of Sunrise Beach. Stewart, 44, was introduced to WHM three years ago by Maya, a former executive at a fortune 100 biotech company and now Chief Innovation Officer of an online health company. “I’m not skeptical by nature, but the proof is in the pudding,” says Stewart. “I already had a daily routine of practicing mindfulness and Continued on PG 7

NEWS FIRE AND ICE Cont. from PG 1 meditation. But when Maya saw me get serious about [WHM], she bought me a ticket to Poland to train with Hof.” He returned from his trip and organized an accountability group with four fellow students. They agreed to take ice baths for 30 consecutive days; Stewart was so committed that he even recalls raiding a hotel ice machine for four days while on a trip to Mississippi. Stewart swears by the results, citing growing scientific evidence that the method can relieve autoimmune diseases, depression, and other ailments. It didn’t take long for the couple’s newfound knowledge to influence their peers. “We’d go in the water the last couple of winters and get some crazy looks from people,” says Stewart. “Then we’d talk to some people at a party and they would show interest in participating. Our intention wasn’t to make it a thing, but people wanted to come along and now we have this little Sunday crew.” For Stewart, what makes WHM special is its mainstream appeal to men; he says it has an intensity not commonly found in other meditative and esoteric disciplines. “I resonate with Wim, as he is a man’s man with a strong connection to his spirituality,” says Stewart. “I learned quickly that when I submerge myself in the ice, there is nowhere else to go but within.” Thierry Lefeuvre, 67, was invited to join the group over Thanksgiving. The Lake Bluff resident wasn’t necessarily seeking a personal transformation, but the thrill keeps him coming back every week. “I just wanted to jump in the lake,” says Lefeuvre. “It’s refreshing and rejuvenating.” A typical meet-up begins with guided breathing and meditation, followed by an exhilarating—or terrifying, depending on who you ask—plunge into the water. The goal is to withstand the conditions for anywhere between 2 to 5 minutes. Today, some participants make a beeline for their towels and coats; Comerota and a handful of other women manage to stay submerged and engage in a series THOSE WHO CAN, TEACH Cont. from PG 1 Executive Director, who retired in 2006 after 18 years]. “In a way it’s kind of amazing because my hands are still pretty steady,” he jokes. “This is an important opportunity for me to display my work

high on your own supply,’” says Stewart.” There are days I have some trepidation, but when I get out of the water and I think, ‘I don’t know what I was worried about—that was amazing.’” “It’s a metaphor for your life,” adds Comerota Stewart. “You’ll be in uncomfortable situations, and being able to navigate that transition by utilizing your breath and controlling your physical responses—shifting from discomfort to comfort—is a critical skill and life lesson.” For this couple, the Wim Hoff experience is about more than metamorphosis. Although Stewart hosts in-depth, one-day WHM workshops in the Chicago suburbs, the free Sunday meet-ups are all about human connections. “I think a big thing is the community aspect,” says Comerota Stewart. “It’s something everyone yearns for. This group of people support each other and challenge themselves. It’s powerful to see some women in tears of joy, and others overwhelmed with what their body can accomplish. There’s something super powerful about cultivating com-

of meditative poses. The entire ritual ends with something that is not prescribed by Hof, but welcome nonetheless: a spirited dance party with fireside cider and s’mores. Kati Murphy, a self-described thrill-seeker, was immediately drawn to WHM. The 43-year-old Lake Bluff resident was introduced to it by Stewart, and ever since her first swim last March, she’s been a regular fixture on Sundays. She’s since piqued others’ curiosity via social media, and has even convinced her husband to join the group. (However, her children, who have literally dipped their toes into these waters, prefer the s’mores.) “It sounded like it was right up my alley,” says Murphy. “I thought I was going to last ten to thirty

seconds, but I ended up staying the whole two minutes. Once I got in [the lake] it made me profoundly conscious of my body; I could feel every follicle of hair underwater. “When I do it, my mind is clear and I feel at ease.” WHM is not for everyone. Stewart warns that people who are pregnant, epileptic, or suffer from heart conditions should steer clear of the regimen. Otherwise, he encouirages anyone in reasonably good health to experiment with it and reap the potential benefits. “One of Wim’s famous lines is, ‘You’re getting

It’s a delight to exhibit with seasoned says King. “Like many artists, I have worked in colleagues.” Ceramics instructor Ana Spencer hopes that isolation and overcome many challenges, trusting my path and knowing that there is an audience the exhibit will influence visitors to consider developing (or furthering) their own skills. For this reason, she’s chosen to display glazed serveware— objects that are graceful, but have utilitarian value. “I tend to like to push the envelope for this show, but this year I really wanted to show the elegance and beauty of functional work,” says Spencer. “Something you use every day can be special. My work is intended to bring people together, to talk and enjoy a moment with each other. “I hope that exposing the outside community to the amazing caliber of work being created at TACHP will inspire people to want to try clay and entice them to take a class.” “We’re approaching our 60th anniversary this year,” says James M. Lynch, Executive Director. “Starting 2020 with our own staff, members, and faculty work in the gallery is the absolute best way to celebrate this amazing accomplishment. We look pretty great for 60!”

NORTH SHORE FOODIE

SEOUL FOOD

IRON AGE IS A TASTY ENTREE INTO THE WORLD OF KOREAN CUISINE AND CULTURE. BY DEBBIE LEE THE NORTH SHORE WEEKEND

Step into Iron Age on a Friday night and you might think you’re partying in Seoul. The Korean restaurant, which opened at the end of November, is a sensory overload: Surreal K-Pop videos play from massive screens on every wall; music thumps unapologetically from the sound system; and large groups of hungry diners, packed shoulder-toshoulder into spacious banquettes, clink glasses of beer and soju as the smell of fire-kissed meat wafts in the air. Those unfamiliar with Korean barbecue should be warned that the food is a match for the ambiance: aggressive, a little funky, and likely to leave you in a daze the next morning. Iron Age is an all-you-can-eat concept, and $25 per guest yields an endless parade of protein. Think of it as a steakhouse with a DIY ethic. Guests choose from more than a dozen types of meat preparations, and each cut is delivered on a massive platter to be cooked on built-in grills at the table. Just be careful not to overdo it. Unchecked gluttons could consume an entire cow in a single visit, but two or three selections should be enough to leave even the most voracious appetites satisfied. We began with thick slabs of honeycomb pork belly, neatly scored so that the fat rendered out over the flames. (Tip: scissors at the table are meant for cutting meat into bite-size nuggets.)

Sliced brisket is one of over a dozen options for grilling at the table. PHOTOGRAPHY BY DEBBIE LEE

What’s left are caramelized strips of meat reminiscent of French lardons. Four types of condiments are provided for every guest; a simple swish through toasted sesame oil with salt is the traditional option. Brisket arrives in the form of tissue-thin shavings of rosy pink meat. Give each slice a minute or two on the grill, then dunk the still-sizzling beef in a simple soy dipping sauce. Or try the ssamjang, a fermented miso paste—it’s an acquired

taste for some, and a glorious umami bomb for others. These two cuts require a special perforated grill plate, so order them together at the start of the feast. The remaining selections require an intermission so that a server can replace your cooktop with a traditional metal grate, which provides a satisfying char on your meat. A safe bet for first-timers is bulgogi, or shaved ribeye, which can be ordered two ways: with a traditional soy-garlic marinade, or Hawaiian style, which employs pineapple juice

as a sweet tenderizer. Grilled pineapple rings gild the lily. Palates that can handle heat can opt for spicy pork or chicken, which are bathed in gochujang, or red pepper paste. Seafood lovers aren’t neglected, either. Grilled squid is a popular choice that demands an ice-cold brew to wash things down, and shrimp come whole, in the shell, for maximum flavor. Banchan, or complimentary side dishes, include a colorful array of pickles: some sweet, some spicy, and all vinegary—the perfect foil for all of those rich proteins. Sliced raw garlic and Korean chili peppers (compulsory additions to the table) should be tossed on the grill to mingle with your meat. Sides include japchae (slippery glass noodles), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), and a savory, scoopable steamed egg custard known as gyeran jim. No need for a crash course in Korean—the staff leaves a menu on the table for the entire course of the meal, so you can just point and chew. For having 244 seats, service here is surprisingly quick and efficient. Tables are set up with a spread of banchan before you are even seated; this way you can dive right into grilling. And servers, clad in all-black, come and go to adjust flames,

flip meat, and deliver fresh plates at the same quick tempo as the K-pop blasting in the background. “Where’s the beef ?” is a question that will never be uttered. Iron Age is a Georgia-based chain; the Glenview location is its tenth in the United States, with an additional restaurant in Bangkok, Thailand. On one hand, its arrival is no surprise—this corner of the village thrives with a mix of Korean mom-and-pops and franchises. One could even argue that the Korean food scene is better in the suburbs than it is in Chicago proper (where another Iron Age opened last year). But what makes this opening particularly exciting is that it fills a void in what is otherwise a non-existent late-night dining scene (sorry, drivethru tacos don’t count). Iron Age is open until midnight on weekdays and 2 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. It’s the kind of restaurant that one would expect to find in the buzzing Koreatowns of Manhattan or Los Angeles. If the North Shore community shows it some love, perhaps it will be a harbinger of more exciting things to come. Iron Age is located at 4513 West Lake Avenue in Glenview.

S U N D AY B R E A K FA S T

As a precocious five-year-old in Salt Lake City, Utah, Jeremy Warner wanted to learn to ski. His dad agreed, but on one condition. “I had to put my skis on at the bottom of the hill, and figure out how to walk up to the top with them on before my dad would agree to let me ski down.” Warner laughs recalling the lesson. “It was tough, but I was determined. I didn’t give up, and I did learn to ski that day.” “That’s pretty much how I’ve lived my life,” Warner adds reflectively. “Find the next challenge, figure out how to meet it, and don’t quit on the way there.” Such a mantra has served him well. A Clinical Associate Professor of Surgery at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, Warner is double-board certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. After attending medical school at the George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences, he trained in plastic surgery at the University of WisconsinMadison; he spent an additional year doing his fellowship in aesthetic and reconstructive facial plastic surgery at the University of Toronto. In the midst of it all, he was also a proud two-time Ironman triathlon finisher. After 11 years in group practice, Warner is currently in the process of launching a Winnetka-based private practice in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. But his latest challenge takes him up another mountain: this one in Nepal. This month, Warner leads a team of surgeons and medical professionals to Kirtipur Hospital in Kathmandu, where they will p e r f o r m re c on s t r u c t i ve surgery—free of charge—for children living with the trauma of congenital facial deformities. The 12-day mission is part of Face the Future Foundation (FFF), a nonprofit founded by Dr. Peter Adamson in 1996, with missions to Ekaterinaburg, Saratov, and Ulyanovsk, Russia. Missions to Rwanda followed in 2013. Warner’s expedition will be the foundation’s first mission to Nepal.

“Peter Adamson was my most significant mentor,” says Warner, Mission Director for FFF’s Nepal journeys, which are slated to take place every January for the next five years. “He was responsible for my final year of surgical training. The year I spent with him in Toronto was the most amazing year of my life.” Adamson launched FFF to provide experienced surgeons with the opportunity to give back—performing surgeries on some of the world’s neediest, youngest members, and providing training to teams of physicians in remote locations. “Having focused my career specifically on facial reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, I have done thousands of surgeries,” says Warner. “I am thrilled to have the chance to use that expertise to help these children.” Traveling to Nepal, Warner will be accompanied by a team of four additional surgeons, two nurses, an ICU pediatric anesthesiologist, and—as medical supply specialist—his wife Brittany. Over the course of the mission, the team will perform surgeries on children and will also train the Kathmandu medical team on new techniques to continue serving the patient population. “The world sees us through our faces,” says Warner. “So if you are born with a congenital deformity, or have lived life knowing yourself one way, and then suffer some terrible trauma that dramatically changes the face you project to the world, those issues deeply affect both self-image, and the perception the world has of you.” “Helping somebody to alter—and in many cases, completely reconstruct their facial appearance, is a pretty awesome responsibility,” he adds. “For example? Taking people who have facial paralysis on one side of their face, and doing a muscle transplant that allows them to smile…I’ve done this surgery on several

children, and getting to see them smile for the first time is an indescribable joy. Building an entirely new nose for somebody who had no nose at all, or—in the case of hemi-facial macrosomia, where half of the face fails to fully develop— doing surgeries to create what is missing... I am deeply committed to doing all of this well.” In Nepal, Warner’s team will treat a 9-year-old girl with hemi-facial microsomia to restore missing parts of her jaw, cheek, and ear. Dozens

more children will also be helped. “We went to Nepal last January to set everything up,” says Warner, “with the intent to establish a relationship with the hospital there, and to assess the needs and the support systems that were already in place so that we could develop the plan for this year’s trip.” Because Nepal has many burn victims due to the country’s practice of cooking with kerosene, and over open fires, the team will include a surgeon who is an expert at upper extremity and hand reconstruction. Another on the team specializes in ear reconstruction, while Warner and Dr. Adamson will focus on correcting facial deformities. Most of the children that will be operated on during Warner’s mission are from surrounding mountainous regions; for many, this will be their first time in a hospital. “Our goal is obviously to treat the most complicated problems, but also to focus on issues where we can just raise the level of awareness. The primary goal is for surgeons in Kathmandu to learn from what we do,” he concludes. “Our goal is not to ride in and then leave. We want to create sustainability, and ultimately, to teach the staff there to be self-sufficient.” For information on how to support Face the Future’s mission to Nepal, and its missions to other parts of the world, please visit facethefuturefoundation.ca.
