Editor’s Note In January, gym memberships spike, fitness classes are filled to capacity and the microwavable dinners in your fridge are replaced by kale and quinoa with the hope that – this year – you’ll follow through with your New Year’s resolution to get healthy. But living a healthy lifestyle isn’t solely about diet and exercise; it’s about finding a balance between body, mind and spirit. So much of our happiness is tied to our health, so – this month – we’ve honed in on topics related to health and wellness. Cover girl Lara Devine, an instructor at Yoga by Degrees, talks about how she uses the ancient practice to find balance on and off the mat. In the story “Powered by yoga,” she says: “I feel like yoga turns this light on. You start to lose the limiting beliefs, the doubt, the fear and you open up to all you’re capable of.” With a focus on combining fitness and fun, we’ve compiled a list of ski and snowboard hot spots so you can hit the slopes this winter, or discover ways to stay active with “Beat the winter blues in DuPage County,” a guide to outdoor fun. Stave off cabin fever while simultaneously stimulating the mind with our
editor’s choice list of adventure books to get your adrenaline pumping. Plan a little post-holiday retail therapy with our “Cold weather clothes” fashion spread. Our selection of outdoor apparel, boots and accessories, will have you stepping out in style. For foodies and wine connoisseurs alike, we’ve got the latest on Marché, the new wine and cheese shop in downtown Glen Ellyn. If craft beer befits your taste, the Old Town Pour House in Oak Brook has a massive collection of brews to tap into.

Yoga POWERED BY
Ancient practice allows instructor to find balance on and off the mat By KELSEY O’CONNOR
Yoga, like life, is all about balance. And for Lara Devine, the two go hand in hand. The 46-year-old mother of four juggles parenting, volunteering and teaching yoga full time. She says that regular yoga and meditation help in staying balanced and finding tranquility in her hectic schedule. “I feel like yoga turns this light on. You start to lose the limiting beliefs, the doubt, the fear and you open up to all you’re capable of,” Devine says. “The balance comes from this ability to move from that place, to make mindful choices and to live a life that’s aligned to your soul.” Prior to teaching yoga, Devine spent seven years working in management at Proctor & Gamble. “I found somewhere along the way that I felt like I lost important parts of myself,” she says of her former career. “When I started acknowledging those feelings, I decided to make some changes.” Photos by Ron McKinney
She started training for a marathon with her four children in tow and decided to try yoga as a means of cross training. “It was just a total game changer for me,” Devine says. “I knew I needed to help others connect with what I was able to find through yoga. It was a no brainer for me – it needed to be my career.” Now, she’s been a full-time yoga teacher for four years, instructing classes at Yoga by Degrees in Wheaton, Western Springs, Elmhurst and Downers Grove, along with other studios and gyms in the area.

Devine also is an active volunteer with the Africa Yoga Project. The nonprofit uses yoga to empower, educate and create employment for young people in Africa. For the past year, Devine has been mentoring Teresa Connex, a woman in Kenya who is training to become a certified yoga instructor. With a certification, Connex plans to teach yoga to children with special needs, and Devine says she’s been there for support every step of the way. “Yoga has done so much to change my life, and I’ve always had this belief that we’re all just here to help each other,” Devine says. “What drives me everyday is this deep passion for helping people find the best parts of themselves.” In order to maintain balance among these many aspects of her life, Devine wakes up early each morning to meditate. “For a mother juggling a bunch of things, what helps for me is taking things one day at a time, sometimes one breath at a time,” she says. “What has transformed my life is taking time

everyday to get quiet, even when I’m exhausted, making it a priority. You feel a difference and other people will feel it from you, too.” Devine says she’s aware that people can feel intimidated to try yoga. She hopes that people will be able to move past that perception and unlock the benefits yoga can bring to their lives. Yoga can help people clear their minds and get in touch with their authentic selves, Devine says, which can allow them to feel more balanced.
“Yoga doesn’t expect anything of you. You can just keep showing up, your real self, and let it unfold one practice at a time,” she says. “It helps so much in terms of getting you mentally stronger and helping you create some head space and be more present and mindful. [It can] bring you a ton of peace.”

CHECKING IN ON THE CHECKUP Take control of your wellness with preventative care with DR. MARY PASCIAK
If you’re like most people, the New Year conjures up all sorts of resolutions and to-dos, like exercise more and replace smoke detector batteries. I’d like you to add something equally important to your list: make your health a priority by scheduling an annual medical exam. You wouldn’t dream of skipping an oil change for your car, but – somehow – a regular checkup sits on the back burner. This year, be proactive and schedule a doctor’s visit and any other recommended screenings for the year ahead. Using January as a marker each year to schedule upcoming exams will ensure that you’ll be up-todate with the most recent recommendations for screenings like laboratory tests, mammograms, colonoscopies and bone density tests. Primary care physicians follow recommendations closely and consider them along with any specific medications, conditions and your family history to make sure that you have the right screenings at the right time.
Though everyone is different, I recommend that men and women age 18 and older become acquainted with an internist and get a general exam. This will help educate you about how to establish a healthy lifestyle. Regular physical exams should be performed on patients ages 20 to 49. Other than a physical exam, family history and lifestyle are important considerations in disease prevention and how much follow-up is necessary. More routine screenings are recommended after the age of 45. These tests can detect cancer and other diseases or prevent serious complications if caught early enough. By doing things early, physicians can attempt to find a remedy for an issue before it develops into a bigger problem, such as kidney disease or heart disease. I would normally look at what you’re doing and make some minor changes, if needed, to help you develop a healthier lifestyle.
An annual medical exam may seem like just another item on your list, but when it comes to habits, it’s a good one to have. Establishing a baseline of health information with your doctor and following up at recommended intervals allows you to take control of your health and shift your focus toward health care prevention and feeling well. Mary Pasciak, MD, a board certified internal medicine physician with Elmhurst Memorial Medical Group, received her medical degree from Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine, and completed her internship and residency at Georgetown University Medical Center and Veterans Administration Medical Center in Washington, D.C.

STRESSED OUT?
Experts offer tips to soothe yourself into better health By YVONNE BENSON Stress is what wells up inside to make people react. At home, your mother-in-law just announced a surprise visit so you have to rush to get the house ready. At work, your boss is cranky and you have a deadline to meet. Stress can come at us from all angles and at any time. Brett Curtiss is a licensed dietitian at Portrait Health Centers in Oak Brook, Aurora and Schaumburg. In regard to stress, he says: “Intermittent, but intense acute stress has been linked with reducing risk of the flu, heart disease, diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease, by temporarily jolting the immune system to reduce free-radicals. The right amount of stress can also be helpful when trying to complete difficult challenge, or prevent harm in an emergency if the stress is what motivates someone.” David Goodman is a clinical psychologist in Oak Brook and St. Charles. He says that there are three ways to know if stress is becoming harmful to your health: 1. If you are experiencing a disruption in sleeping patterns, which includes difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, early waking or the inability to get back to sleep. 2. If stress affects your appetite, which includes a lack of appetite, overeating or unwanted weight changes. 3. Obsessively thinking about the reason for stress to the point where you can’t focus or are distracted. Chronic stress can be the beginning of a chain reaction, Goodman says. “If you’re not getting a good night’s rest that can lead to feeling discouraged and emotionally overwhelmed. Then, when discouraged and emotionally overwhelmed that leads to an emerging depressive disorder. That leads to not actively taking care of yourself in regular ways, such as exercise [and] good diet, [and can lead to] misusing drugs or alcohol. I think that mysuburbanlife.com/magazine
one of the challenges of mental health is that when people are depressed or anxious and it is significant, there’s not direct visible evidence immediately about how that’s affecting our physical health,” says Goodman. Chronic stress can have a harmful impact on physical health, such as leading to increased frequency of digestive problems, headache, fatigue, backache and chest pain, Curtiss says. “Also, the gut is responsible for most the body’s serotonin, so digestive problems can perpetuate more stress by interfering with the gut’s serotonin production,” Curtiss says. In order to combat stress, Curtiss recommends making sure the body has everything it needs nutritionally so that it’s equipped to manage stress. “A body deficient in nutrients and overloaded with added sugars impairs its ability to adapt to
HEALTH & WELLNESS
stressful situations,” Curtiss says. “Furthermore, making time for relaxation or meditation, fostering healthy friendships, and having a sense of humor can also make stress more manageable. But for chronic stress, seeking professional counseling may also be needed.” Goodman says that people can become stressed because they don’t always have sufficient information to make good decisions. “Frequently when people don’t know what to do, they think that they’re supposed to intuitively know. I find it most useful in encouraging them to ask someone,” Goodman says, adding that the Internet is an excellent resource for acquiring additional information to aid in decisionmaking. “It doesn’t need to be a mental health professional. People don’t need to solve it all alone. They will solve it themselves, but they don’t need to do it all alone.”

BEAT THE WINTER BLUES,
outdoors in DuPage County By ALLISON HORNE
Ditch the TV remote and bundle up, because – this winter – DuPage County has some cool outdoor events to help get you off the couch. With activities like cross-country skiing, snowboarding, tubing and ice fishing, there’s no shortage of local outdoor fun for the family. “I think the outdoors offer you an escape from being indoors,” says Audra Bonnet, director of communications and marketing at the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County. “It allows you to get out of that cabin fever rut and being locked inside.”
¢ WINTER EXERCISE To spice up your exercise routine, take to the outdoors. There are more than 70 miles of groomed trails throughout DuPage County that offer cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Snowshoes are available for daily rental rates, or visitors can bring their own. Visitors to the trails must bring their own crosscountry skis, however. “Each one of our preserves offers a variety of amenities and user experiences,” Bonnet says. “There’s a little of everything if you’re a kid at heart.” Both cross-country skiing and snowshoeing burn around 500 calories per hour. Mount Hoy at Blackwell Forest Preserve offers tubing every day that there is three inches of snow on the ground. All guests must rent tubes for the day, which vary from $5 to $7. “Climbing to the top of the tube hill, which is an 800-foot drop, [and] carrying an inner tube is a great workout,” Bonnet says. In addition to forest preserves, the Morton Arboretum offers a lower admission rate of $9 from December through March, which gives guests full access to its grounds. “If you’re looking for a beautiful hike in the woods, there [are] hills – a little up and 12 | JANUARY 2016 | SUBURBAN LIFE MAGAZINE
HEALTH & WELLNESS
down – and it’s a nice workout,” says Kelley Regan, senior public relations manager at the Morton Arboretum. “The trails are all groomed, beautiful, and you can see trees from more than 40 countries here.” If there is more than four inches of snow, outdoor enthusiasts can cross-country ski or snowshoe more than 16 miles of groomed trails at the arboretum. The nature reserve offers both ski and snowshoe rentals, but guests are welcome to bring their own, too. The children’s garden also is open during the winter, which is a great area for kids to stretch their legs and explore. “[The arboretum] is really special,” Regan says. “You can learn a little while you’re here, and you can also just experience the beautiful scenery that the arboretum has to offer.”
¢ OUTDOOR EVENTS In addition to daily activities, a slew of special events will take place throughout DuPage County all winter long. The Morton Arboretum is putting a twist on regular nature walks with their Full Moon Winter Walk, which will take place Saturday, Jan. 23; Monday, Feb. 22; and Wednesday, March 23. The walks will give guests access to the arboretum at night when no other visitors will be around. mysuburbanlife.com/magazine

Horse-drawn sleigh rides will be available at Kline Creek Farm, a living-history farm in West Chicago, in January and February. Rides cost $5 a person, and operation is dependent on the weather. “It’s pretty cool and can be romantic [for couples] or fun with the kids,” Says Joe Cantore, president of the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County.

Something that she will always cherish & you!
For those wanting to get a sampling of everything that winter has to offer, the DuPage Forest Preserve will host its 14th annual Wonders of Winter event, which will feature everything from horse-drawn sleigh rides to ice fishing, snowshoeing, birding and crafts. “If someone wants to learn about what goes on outdoors in the winter, it’s really an interesting event,” Cantore says. “It’s so much fun. If parents can get their kids out, they’re going to have a blast.” Getting outside in the middle of winter does more than stave off cabin fever, it’s also good for your health. “Everyone sits inside in the winter and gets a few pounds around the middle,” Cantore says. “Getting outside has health benefits, and it helps your mood and lowers your stress. I just want people to take advantage of it. Even though we have to go through winter, there’s so much here to take advantage of; there’s no reason to stay inside.”

Four ways to avoid caregiver burnout You’ve assumed the role of primary caregiver for your senior parent. Over time, you’ve come to realize that life as a caregiver is a full-time job with as many rewards as responsibilities. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: • More than 34 million unpaid caregivers provide care to someone age 18 and older who is ill or has a disability.
2. FIND HELPFUL RESOURCES Support for caregivers continues to expand. Resources include: • Eldercare Locator, which provides referrals to Area Agencies on Aging (www.eldercare.gov)
• Caregivers report having difficulty finding time for one’s self (35 percent), managing emotional and physical stress (29 percent) and balancing work and family responsibilities (29 percent).
• Family Care Navigator, a state-by-state resource providing services for family caregivers and older or disabled adults living at home or in a residential facility www. caregiver.org
• Caregivers say they do not go to the doctor because they put their family’s needs first (67 percent said that is a major reason) or they put the care recipient’s needs over their own (57 percent). More than half (51 percent) of caregivers say that they do not have time to take care of themselves, and almost half (49 percent) say they are too tired to do so.
• State Units on Aging, which offer info on services and programs for seniors (www. nasuad.org)
To help alleviate some of the stress that comes with caregiving for a parent, here are four helpful tips: 1. UNDERSTAND YOUR LIMITS You certainly know the importance of caregiving. Just as important, though, is knowing that there are limits to your physical and mental capabilities. To cope, you need to establish a plan for handling the caregiving process before it overwhelms you.
14 | JANUARY 2016 | SUBURBAN LIFE MAGAZINE
3. GET HELP FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS You may find it difficult to seek aid from others, including family and friends. Realistically, though, you will need their assistance throughout the caregiving phase of your life. Helpguide.org suggests the following: • Set aside one-on-one time to talk to the person. • Go over the list of caregiving needs you’ve drawn up. • Explain how the person might be of service. • Ask the person if he or she would like to help, and if so, how. • Make sure the person understands what would be most helpful to you and your parent. HEALTH & WELLNESS
4. TAKE TIME AWAY The toll that caregiving takes on providers is well-documented. For the sake of your health, it’s imperative that you find ways to relax and rejuvenate. Consider this advice from Helpguide. org: • Stay social. Visit regularly with other people and nurture your close relationships. • Maintain balance in your life. Don’t give up activities that are important to you, such as work or hobbies. • Find a community. Join or reestablish your connection to a religious group, social club or civic organization. With the right information and support, you can excel – and even flourish – in your role as caregiver for your senior parent.

Dermal filter uses naturally-occuring sugar for youthful results with NESREEN SUWAN, M.D.
I
f you are looking for a little ‘lift’ to your look this winter, check your cheeks…and a product we just adore.
Juvederm Voluma XC instantly adds volume lost to aging in the cheek area, while creating contour and a subtle lift with a natural-looking results. It helps restore a more youthful profile, and provides natural-looking results, that last several years. It is a nonsurgical treatment and contains a modified hyaluronic acid (HA) made from a naturally-occurring complex sugar. Hyaluronic acid is a colorless gel that is naturally created by the body, and its use results in a fuller and more youthful appearance. To reduce discomfort during the procedure, it contains an anesthetic called lidocaine and a small needle is used. The results are long lasting and most people still experience increased satisfaction up to two years after treatment. The product is revolutionary in terms of dermal filers, which are used for smoothing out unwanted age lines and adding volume beneath the surface of the skin, in the middle and lower face, where volume loss caused sagginess and aging features. T Dermal fillers are naturally absorbed over time, leaving the body’s own collagen in its place. The results are amazing, there is no downtime, and their effects can be seen immediately. There are many types of FDA-approved dermal fillers. The preparations include the following: Juvéderm®, Juvéderm Voluma®, Juvéderm® Ultra Plus, Restylane®, Perlane®, Restylane®
16 | JANUARY 2016 | SUBURBAN LIFE MAGAZINE
Radiesse® uses microspheres of calcium hydroxylapatite suspended in a water-based gel to restore volume resulting in wrinkles softening.

COLD COMFORT
Just because the Chicago suburbs transform into a winter wonderland come January doesn’t mean that your style has to suffer for it. If anything, cold weather often translates to comfortable clothing. It’s a time for fabrics like fleece, flannel, cashmere and wool to enter your wardrobe, and items like scarves, hats and gloves to accessorize your outfits.

o you prefer your yoga pants over jeans even when you are not going to spin class? Well you are not the only one! According to an article from Editd, a site that analyzes apparel metrics, “athleisure” is here to stay, and it is only growing in popularity.
Athleisure combines athletic and leisure wear into one, and it has become increasingly popular to wear it in most social settings. To give you a snapshot of how strong this fashion movement is becoming, legging and yoga pant sales surpassed jean sales in 2014. The reason? According to Editd, the comfort and look. Most everyone in the fashion industry is trying to get in on the trend, from Michael Kors to Dick’s Sporting Goods. You can find athleisure wear everywhere. Here are three of my favorite retailers that carry a great selection. Let’s start with Victoria’s Secret. If you have not tried its traditional line of workout clothing you are

missing out! These items are some of my personal favorites. From sports bras to yoga pants, they fit like a glove and give you room for a more than comfortable workout, with an excellent selection of prints and styles to choose from. Most Victoria’s Secret stores carry active wear, however more options are available online at www.victoriassecret.com. Who doesn’t love Lululemon? There are two locations in the western suburbs, Oak Brook and Naperville, but you can also find the store online. The best part of the online component is that there is a full-blown gift guide, offering pointers on current trends. Love it. They also carry items for men. Nordstrom’s offers a selection to be reckoned with. Find your tried and true traditional athletic wear – Nike, Adidas, The North Face – as well as athleisure brand trend stoppers such as Zella and Hard Tail. Couple that with a great selection of gym shoes, socks and coats, and Nordstrom is a one-stop shop for your look.

BUILDING BRIDGES
Alicia La Hoz provides families with tools to lead healthier lives By MELISSA RUBALCABA RISKE As a clinical psychologist Dr. Alicia La Hoz was trained to care for patients one-on-one or in small group settings. But it soon became clear that education could be an even greater tool to help those struggling with relationship problems, domestic violence, family stresses and challenges.
“I saw the need; I saw the lack of resources and I thought, ‘I want to contribute,’” La Hoz says. It was her older sister who suggested that La Hoz become a psychologist. La Hoz says the idea stuck with her. “Our family was always very service-orientated,” La Hoz says. “My parents taught us a strong value for education. And, my parents were an exceptional couple.”
“We’re making a difference in our communities, and we’re working together,” La Hoz says of the program.
At age 8, La Hoz’s father was invited to bring his pastoral work to South Florida, so he moved his wife and six daughters to the U.S.
With a federal grant and financial support in place, in 2010, La Hoz transitioned from Meier Clinic to Family Bridges, which was sanctioned as a nonprofit. This created partnerships with existing programs and services in the community, while helping educate the community through schools and churches. Today, Family Bridges has more than 500 community partners and provides programming throughout the year, including workshops for teens and adults that are geared toward helping them improve their interpersonal relationships.
With her family as a model, and her own education and supportive mentors along the way, La Hoz has quickly built a successful program and created, for herself, a reputation as a hard worker.
The program has helped couples save their marriage and improved family life. When parents are able to work well together, families are healthier, children can focus on school – rather than worry about their parents or the possibility of a family coming apart, La Hoz says. “You still need one-on-one support, but a lot of things can be learned with group programs,” La Hoz says. In some ways, La Hoz’s work is an outgrowth of her own childhood. Her parents were active members of their community. Her father was a church pastor in their native home in Dominican
Brookfield resident Elsie Radtke saw the success of the program while working as the associate director of family ministries for the Archdiocese of Chicago. She met couples on the verge of divorce, who did not know where to go or what to do to save their marriage. Radtke says she saw how the Family Bridges partnerships and programs provided the tools that had been lacking in the community. “[The program] is having phenomenal success,” says Radtke. “This is building a community. Every culture has their resistance to ‘airing dirty laundry,’ but this breaks a lot of those systems down in a way that is not threatening.” And the work continues to grow. La Hoz’s team is always searching for new ways to reach out. Last year, the team began airing two-minute stories on Spanish-language radio stations that entertained and educated listeners on topics of fatherhood, character, marriage, violence and family wellness.
“We have interesting, creative ways of bringing out educational content,” La Hoz says. As a wife and mother to two young children, La Hoz says she and her husband have found ways to maintain work and family balance. Her husband stays home with the children, and she restricts travel away from home to three days or less per week. She often commutes by train from her home in Wheaton to her office in Oak Park, so she can maintain a schedule and is home for dinner. When she gets home from work, she helps with the kids, which gives her husband time to work in the evening. “Those are the rules,” she says, adding that there is always more work to do, but family time must be a priority.

Bring on the cheese, please! Marcel’s opens cheese and wine shop in downtown Glen Ellyn By STEPHANIE KOHL-MCCORD
¢ IF YOU GO
Residents and visitors to downtown Glen Ellyn can choose from more than 100 cheeses at a new business in town. Marché, 496 N. Main St., opened its doors Nov. 5. The corner-side, cheese and wine shop is owned by married couple Jill Foucré and Bob Bye. The duo also owns Marcel’s Culinary Experience, located just three doors down. “It really came about from me thinking about how to grow my existing business without just replicating the business,” says Foucré, who began expanding Marcel’s Culinary Experience with the addition of a refrigerated case that housed a selection of cheeses. The addition, she says, was very well-received. Soon enough, the couple acquired a space nearby to open a second business. “It just seemed sort of the perfect space to have a sister business,” Foucré says, adding that there is nothing similar to Marché nearby. Daniel Sirko is the shop’s general manager and a member of the American Cheese Society. The cheese connoisseur has previous experience working in similar establishments, such as Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread and Wine; Kaufman’s Bakery, Delicatessen and Catering; Birchwood Kitchen; and Fox & Obel Food Market.
24 | JANUARY 2016 | SUBURBAN LIFE MAGAZINE
Marché offers a curated and evolving collection of artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, wine, craft beers, spirits and complementary items. All of the cheeses and charcuterie are cut and weighed-to-order. “You can buy it to take and use [for] your own cheese board, or for cooking, or [anything],” Foucré says. The shop also offers a cozy seating area for eight, where guests can enjoy a cheese spread with wine, beer and spirits, or take their cheese spreads to go. The shop offers three different cheese plates from which to choose. For special occasions, Marché offers party boards, which consist of a selection of four different boards that can feed up to 30 people. Advanced ordering is required. The cheese shop also can accommodate private events for up to 25 people. The cheese shop periodically hosts pairing classes and educational seminars, and it has two monthly subscription clubs – the Culture Club, which features cheese, and the Vini Culture Club, which features wine and cheese. Foucré says that Marché offers a relaxed, comfortable, warm and inviting environment, which makes it accessible for everyone. “I would love for people to think of [Marché] as a place they can come and have an experience,” Foucré says.

SPEAKEASY FLAIR MIXOLOGIST GIVES PROHIBITION-ERA COCKTAILS A MODERN TWIST
F
light 112 Wine & Whiskey Bar prides itself in bringing cutting-edge drinking trends to the suburbs. Back in 2008, when Flight 112 opened, owner Visal Kheam saw an opportunity to bring high-quality, yet value-driven, wines to the general marketplace. “My vision was to create a place where customers could have an interactive experience with the staff – one where they could explore and learn about wine,” says Kheam. “And as the trends have changed, Flight 112 has evolved with the times and technology.” In addition to offering a diverse selection of craft beers, Flight 112 has expanded its whiskey collection to more than 40 different traditional and small-batch brands. The restaurant has always tried to use local food vendors and alcohol purchases, as well. Upon the celebration of its seventh year in business, Flight 112 is debuting a selection of craft cocktails. The establishment’s resident mixologist and head bartender, Josue Mancero, created a menu that features Prohibition-era cocktails that were popular in the early 1900s. “It starts with the best – the perfect cocktail begins with premium, quality ingredients,” says Mancero, who gained his mixology experience at several notable cocktail bars in the city, including the Aviary.
Mancero’s goal was to make vintage cocktails more balanced and approachable. “Back in the day, pre-Prohibition drinks had a lot of alcohol. Bartenders just used what they had and managed to create iconic cocktails,” Mancero says. The mixologist focuses on making drinks more appealing to the general public by lowering the alcohol content and balancing the flavor profiles, while also using unique ingredients. The Meyer Wolfsheim, for example, is based on the traditional Rob Roy, a cocktail that uses Scotch as its base. Mancero recreated the cocktail using mescal and maple to give it a smoky and earthy taste. “If you are a lover of Manhattans, you’ll want to try this cocktail,” says Mancero. The goal of Flight 112 is to provide customers with an experience. “Whether it’s a cocktail, a seasonally-themed food item, or a piece of art, we want our customers to experience something a bit different and create conversations with our staff, as well as each other,” says owner Kheam.
Visal Kheam is the owner of Flight 112 in Elmhurst. He has more than 13 years of experience in the wine industry, operating several stores in addition to his Elmhurst wine bar and restaurant. 26 | JANUARY 2016 | SUBURBAN LIFE MAGAZINE

EXPLORE THE POUR
OLD TOWN POUR HOUSE SEEKS TO ENTERTAIN AND ENLIGHTEN By KARA SILVA
O
f the many restaurants that perpetuate the craft beer craze, Old Town Pour House is one of the few that can attest to having 90 brews on tap. The 7,000-square-foot restaurant, which opened in November 2014 in Oak Brook Shopping Center, is one of three Pour House locations and eight total restaurants in the Bottleneck Management Restaurant Group. The craft-beer Mecca boasts a modern-American menu, and its beer selection runs the gamut, from major craft-beer labels to rare tappings and first-to-market offerings. Twelve taps rotate through seasonal selections, as well as limited quantity and hard-to-find varieties, says Bisaillon. The restaurant’s beverage program also includes signature cocktails and a varied list of wine by the bottle and on tap. The Pour House offers expertly-selected, themed flights, but customers also can customize flights with samplings of any one of its 90 brews on tap (price may vary depending on the selection). Themed flights include “The Wonderful World of Wheat Flight,” which features Revolution Bottom Up Wit, Two Brothers Ebel’s Weiss, Metropolitan Krankshaft Kolsch and Deschutes Chainbreaker White IPA; and “The Ciders Flight,” which features Ace Pear Cider, Vander Mill Blue Gold, Anthem Cherry Cider and Original Sin Cider.

ounce tasters, or short pours, also are available. The Oak Brook Pour House is the first Pour House to be located in a shopping center, but – likely – not the last, says owner Chris Bisaillon. “The idea of the shopping center has morphed over the years, as the Internet has forced these [shopping] centers to be more entertainmentdriven,” Bisaillon says. “Today, the restaurant scene in the shopping center is a major driver of traffic, as anyone that has been to Oak Brook Center lately, can attest.”

The restaurant can seat around 190 people in the dining area, 25 people at the bar and 68 people or a date night,” Bisaillon says. “When there is a on the outdoor patio, which is fit with two big game on TV, we use a video DJ to eliminate outdoor fireplaces and flat screen TVs. the commercial breaks and splice in entertaining “Old Town Pour House is a very vibrant, energetic video content.

experience with our genuine staff providing genuine hospitality to every guest.” The restaurant’s menu features a “very strong appetizer and shareable business that leads into dinner,” says Bisaillon, who lists the Duck Confit Nachos, Fried Cheese Curds and Braised Short Rib entrée with shrimp grits, bacon-tomato jam, pickled fennel and au jus gravy as a few of his favorite dishes. The restaurant’s burgers and fish tacos are big sellers, and the 1/2-pound burgers are hand-formed. The signature Pour House burger is stacked with Angus beef, aged white cheddar, lettuce, a dill pickle, beer-battered onion ring and vine-ripened tomato, while the American Kobe consists of Wagyu beef, braised short rib, brie, Worcestershire onions and baby arugula on a brioche bun. This year, Pour House will be adding some lunch-oriented options to the menu, including a build-your-own salad and soup/ sandwich combo. “These options will be great for the surrounding office buildings, [which] have employees that want to treat themselves to a sit-down meal within the time constraints of their lunch break.”

Increased flexibility, for example, is an essential benefit of ballroom dancing, and personal flexibility increases the more steps you take. This protects against injury, both on and off the dance floor, and allows you to move across the floor with greater ease and grace.

On the topic of protection, a strong body equates to protected bone health and muscle mass. After puberty, whether you are a man or a woman, experts say you begin to lose about one percent of your bone and muscle strength every year.

There have been numerous studies completed about color and how it influences our lives. For me, color is not about what a study may find but, rather, about the feelings that colors conjure up within me. The change of seasons offers a glimpse into our reactions to colors. The soft blues, cool white tones and warm grays of winter calls out to slow down, reflect and cocoon in the warmth and comfort of home. Fresh greens and pastels dot the earth as spring emerges, awakening a yearning for growth and renewal. Summer is full of yellows, blues and bold, bright hues that energize and stimulate the body and soul. The orange, red and brown tones of autumn beckon the harvesting of ideas and fulfillment of the heart’s desires. I use the seasonal color cues from nature to guide my choices in creative ventures, as well as for my home and wardrobe, making small changes in each that reflect what the season has to offer.
OUT & ABOUT
If you are looking for a change in mood or demeanor, use color to help. Different colors can impact your mood differently. Art therapist Lacy Mucklow, author of “Color Me Calm,” wrote in her national best-selling book: “Cool colors (such as blues, greens and purples) are considered to have calming qualities, while the warmer colors (such as red, oranges and yellows) have more activating qualities. Bright colors tend to have more energy, while pastel or tinted colors tend to communicate softer energy, and darker colors or shades usually indicate lower energy.” To see how color impacts your day, try a new color by adding it to your home’s décor with a throw pillow or a painting, or enhance your outfit with a new scarf. You may find yourself being drawn to colors that work best with what you are trying to achieve, whether that involves being bold, calm or energetic. Either way, choose hues that will inspire a colorful life.

HIT THE SLOPES close to home By CHRIS WALKER

spen and Vail may be some of the country’s most popular skiing and snowboarding destinations, but you don’t have to go to Colorado to enjoy snow sports. A couple skiing hot spots closer to home are Four Lakes in Lisle and Villa Olivia in Bartlett. Four Lakes has snowmaking capabilities, so as long as it’s cold enough outside, the slopes will be ready and waiting for you. “We’re very family-oriented and we can teach young children, middle-aged children and adults the basics, as well as advanced skills in skiing and snowboarding,” says Chris Buehler, director of recreation of Four Lakes. “In that sense we cater to everybody.” Four Lakes is celebrating its 51st year of service this year. Chances are pretty good that if you’ve skied frequently in Illinois, you’ve likely visited Four Lakes. “We have a lot of returning customers every year and we’re always getting new ones, especially new kids getting enrolled in classes,” Buehler says. “We’re now getting ready for the start of the season and we expect to be especially busy over the holiday school breaks.” There’s a ski and snowboard school at Four Lakes to teach novices and provide refresher courses. Classes are offered throughout the week. Group outings are extremely popular at Four Lakes and Villa Olivia. While individuals and families can have a blast on the slopes, groups are also enjoying outdoor winter fun. “We do see a lot of groups with churches, youth groups, park districts, and everything in between,” Buehler says. “People really enjoy skiing and snowboarding. It’s still a growing industry and every day we’re serving more and more people.” Another popular destination for skiing and snowboarding is Villa Olivia. Villa Olivia may not offer the breathtaking scenery of some of the country’s most popular wintertime destinations, but it offers a great deal close to home for those

looking for daily getaways, weekend outings as well as the opportunity to learn to ski. Downhill skiing, snowboarding and even snow tubing are offered at Villa Olivia. Plus, if Mother Nature keeps the weather cold, but decides to be light on the white stuff, you should still be able to enjoy snow sports because the park has its own snowmaking capabilities. Villa Oliva is scheduled to remain open through March 6 as long as the weather proves accommodating. It’s welcoming to newcomers and advanced skiers, alike. “We’ve got seven of what we call runs from beginner to more advanced,” says Pete Pope, superintendent of Villa Olivia. “On our most difficult run we also have terrain with some elements of rails and other jumps for snowboarders.” The Snow Sports School at Villa Olivia teaches classes to fit each skier’s needs. Separate group classes for skiing and snowboarding, beginner’s packages for skiing and snowboarding and private/semi-private lessons for both are available, as well as a program specifically designed for kids between ages 4 and 11. “We definitely offer all of those levels and they’re all hugely popular,” Pope says. “The structured ones fill up quickly, but we also have a number of walk-on classes for those who just come out and sign up when they get here.” If skiing or snowboarding isn’t your thing, you must give snow tubing a try, especially since Lake Olivia is one of the only places in the state that offers it. It’s fun for the whole family – from the little kids to grandparents. Plus, a new conveyor lift, known as the “magic carpet,” conveniently takes you up the hill, making the day less tiring and more fun. Kids must be 6 years or older and 42 inches tall to ride alone, although 4 and 5-year-olds can ride with adults. Rates for tubing are for two hours and include the use of a snow tube.

skiing, there’s an abundance of resorts a bit further away. Here are just a few: Chestnut Mountain, situated in Galena, features 19 ski runs and has more than 100 rooms. Devil’s Head in Merrimac has 28 runs and a top elevation of 995 feet. Alpine Valley is known for more than its summer rock concerts, with 20 ski runs in East Troy. Whitecap Mountain in Upson offers 43 ski runs, Cascade Mountain is conveniently located right off the highway between Madison and Wisconsin Dells and Granite Peak in Wausau is enormous, with 74 runs, topping of at nearly 2,000 feet. Michigan has plenty of bunny hills to advance runs that are as challenging as you’ll find in the Midwest. There’s Timber Ridge in Gobles where guests enjoy lake effect snow and a picturesque 60-wooded acres. Nub’s Nob has 53 runs and covers 248 acres. Probably the closest destination is Swiss Valley in Jones, which is about a 2.5-hour drive from Chicago. These are just a few of the more than 50 skiing destinations in Michigan. For those looking for the most daring run since Lane conquered the K-12 in “Better Off Dead,” should check out the Bad Seed run at Mount Bohemia in the Upper Peninsula. Built over a prehistoric volcano, its challenging terrain also features cliff drops, if you dare. mysuburbanlife.com/magazine
