Sun exposure throughout your lifetime can cause myriad skin problems as you get older including skin cancer, deep wrinkles, thinning skin, dark spots and broken capillary veins. "Your skin care should be specific to your needs," says Ceilley. "Watch for signs of aging and then adopt a routine that addresses every inch of your skin."

This free regional-site tour will feature 56 model homes and three condominiums, and one featured subdivision. The MBA Spring Tour is the only extended open house of its type in Wisconsin. It kicks off the building season and connects consumers with the area's leading residential building contractors. The three-weekend event draws thousands of visitors from all over the state. "The Spring Tour offers a unique opportunity to view a variety of projects and help consumers begin planning for the home of their dreams," MBA President Jonathan Synovic said. "It inspires people who are thinking about building or remodeling — gives them ideas for their home and connects them to the right company for their project." Collectively, the MBA Spring Tour sites will showcase a wide array of home build- ing trends, including the latest concepts in floor plans, energy-efficient products, fix- tures and appliances, structured wiring, home automation, security systems, and interior design. Projects are scattered throughout Waukesha, Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington, Racine and Walworth coun- ties. The featured subdivision is the Windrush Subdivision on Highway K (Lisbon Road) and Windrush Boulevard in Hartland, just east of Highway KE (Jungbluth Road), a Siepmann Realty Corp. development. A complete list of projects and map is available online at MBASpringTour.com. The MBA Parade of Homes, featuring 22 brand-new homes in three subdivisions, will take place Aug. 11 through Sept. 3. Those subdivisions are Lilly Crossing in Brookfield, Lake Country Village in Summit and Hidden Hills in Sussex.

Other elected officials across the city also have weighed in on the plans. Alderman Tony Zielinski, who represents the Bay View neighborhood, said he is con- cerned about Ascension's serv- ice reduction plans, which could also impact St. Francis Hospital, based on information the South Side alderman received. "Health disparities adverse- ly affect groups of people who have consistently experienced social and economic obstacles to health and/or factors that influence health based on their ethnic group, gender, age, dis- p a r i t i e s , gender iden- tity, geo- g r a p h i c location or other char- acteristics," Z i e l i n s k i said in a n e w s release. Attempts to reach W h e a t o n Franciscan's public relations office for comment by press deadline were not successful. Also Tuesday, the council adopted an ordinance estab- lishing an annual trailblazer award in honor of Milwaukee resident Vel Phillips, who was noted for her civil rights advo- cacy. Remembering Vel Phillips The council, which unani- mously agreed to sponsor the legislation setting the ordinance in motion, made its vote the day Phillips died. She was 94. Several elected officials, including Alderman Cavalier Johnson, also have issued news releases praising Phillips for the legacy she leaves behind. "Her work not only inspired generations of African Ameri- cans to believe they too can suc- ceed, but also opened doors that still affect our everyday lives," Johnson said in a statement. "A reason my family and I live north of Capitol Drive is because of the work that Vel did fighting for fair housing along- side Father (James) Groppi those many years ago." Alderman Jim Bohl said he had "fond memories of interac- tions" with Phillips in his years in elected office. "She was a true pioneer, and Milwaukeeans will always owe her a debt of gratitude for her work on the Fair Housing Ordinance and on many other issues," Bohl wrote in a state- ment. The ordinance consummat- ing the trailblazer award in Phillips' honor calls for the cre- ation of a selection committee, whose members will annually review applicants mirroring the civil rights leaders' accomplish- ments. The selection committee, as outlined in the ordinance, will include two members appointed by the mayor and three mem- bers appointed by the council president.
