ELLEARD HEFFERN FINE JEWELERS
by stephanie wallace
It’s where you want to be.
ELLEARD HEFFERN FINE JEWELERS IS A ST. LOUIS INSTITUTION. Founded in 1913 as
Heffern-Neuhoff Jewelers, the family-owned business has been serving the community for more than a century. Along with bringing beauty to clients through wearable pieces of art, the jeweler is dedicated to uplifting local cultural institutions and supporting the growth and development of young artists. “As a family, we’ve always been involved in the community.” says third-generation owner Christopher ‘Kit’ Heffern. “It started with my grandfather, and my father continued the tradition when he took over the business. Now, it’s my turn to help steward arts and education in the St. Louis area.” Championing the arts is a natural fit for Elleard Heffern. The jeweler established itself through crafting unique custom pieces for clients. “I’m lucky to be in this industry,” Heffern notes. “We help people celebrate milestones by creating jewelry that is both beautiful and meaningful, and to do so, we rely on finding the best young talent in the industry.” To help foster that talent locally, the jeweler helped fund the creation of a jewelry studio at Craft Alliance. “It’s a very important art institution,” he says. “The hands-on programming helps people pursue creative interests. It’s critical that we preserve the art of crafting, especially in today’s technology-driven world.” Along with supporting Craft Alliance, Elleard Heffern works closely with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis. One of the initiatives the jeweler supports is the nonprofit’s Artists-in-Training Program, which helps engage high school students with the art of opera. “We help fund scholarships for students,” Heffern says. “There are not a lot of local opera institutions, and there are certainly not many aimed at introducing teenagers to it. This year, the Elleard Heffern Prize was presented to Chase Oncken, a senior who has been singing with Opera Theatre of Saint Louis for some time. His performance was wonderful.” To further help cultivate a love of the arts in high school students, Elleard Heffern also is involved with Sumner High School. Located in The Ville, the historic public school was established as the first high school for African-American students west of the Mississippi. “We connected with the principal, Sean Nichols, Ed.D, about his after-school arts program and provided the funding to pay for a teacher for the school year,” Heffern says. “We love supporting young people, helping them grow in the arts and raising local talent right here in St. Louis.” That focus on supporting local talent extends to organizations like Jazz St. Louis and COCA. The latter of which Heffern served on the board for six years and is still involved with. “St. Louis has provided for us for the last 109 years, so we want to be able to pay that back,” he notes. “Fostering and cultivating the arts locally allows individuals to pursue their talents here or build their skills elsewhere while remaining true to their roots in this community. It’s good for St. Louis, and it’s good for Elleard Heffern.” &

TOWN TALK
k l a t OF THE TOWNS by bill beggs jr.

Join Classic 107.3 for a few hours of pure bliss at Community Music School of Webster University, especially if you’re into bourbon and rye. (Something about driving my Chevy to the levee, but the levee was dry, just popped into my head. Hmm. Probably just random.) In this context, ‘classic’ doesn’t refer to classic rock, as in songs like “Stairway to Heaven” by Led Zeppelin, “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen, “Dream On” by Aerosmith or anything by AC/DC. Gosh, no. Tune in. It’s a classical music station on the FM dial. Mix in some Classical Cocktails on

Beep-beep for baklava? No, that’s at the Greekfest over Memorial Day weekend, which we’ll get to a few sentences from here. Café Natasha’s, a favorite restaurant that also served the scrumptious Mediterranean dessert, alas, closed April 30. When I lived nearby, I’d walk from my flat to eat there, stag, at least once a week. It was more than a block away. We all need to exercise, right? When I logged onto match.com, it was great for impressing dates, one of whom is now my wife, Cate! The kebabs were to die for, and the biryani or basmati rice featured a wonderful garnish: half of a roasted tomato. Natasha Bahrami, for whom the eatery was named nearly 40 years ago, has hospitality in her genes. Natasha or her mom, Hamishe—or both—always had a warm greeting, as though inviting us into their home. The Gin Room, Natasha’s concept drinkery, will close for a short time in order to reconfigure space for—tah-dah!—Salve Osteria, her ‘harvest-centric’ restaurant set to open May 27, the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. It will feature pan-Mediterranean cuisine, and maybe the weather will be ideal for dining on the charming, shaded patio. Anyhow, ‘salve’ is a somewhat informal way to say hello in Italian, so salve to Natasha and Matt Wynn, local chef extraordinaire, who’ll be in the kitchen of a new place in the same space: 3200 S. Grand. Hamishe, although now officially retired, likely will be holding forth, as well. Oh, my; someone’s koo-koo for kebabs now. Well, the same weekend is the 40th anniversary of the county Greekfest. Online orders begin Monday, May 23, for your May 27-30 reintroduction to Greek delicacies, so go-go for gyros at your pre-appointed time, drive up for dolmades, scoot in for spanakopita … or, yes, beep for baklava. But first, to browse the menu and order, visit stlgreekfest.com. You’ve probably seen the church from I-270: Assumption Greek Orthodox Church, 1755 Des Peres Road. Just GPS it. The ancient Greeks didn’t have the luxury.

June 3 from 6 to 8:30 p.m., when you can enjoy crafted concoctions made with Switchgrass Spirits bourbon and rye, plus culinary creations from White Box Catering. Meanwhile, drink in beautiful, accessible music courtesy of the Chamber Music Society of St. Louis. Say you have a friend who “doesn’t like classical music.”This low-key event will be a perfect opportunity to expand their musical horizons. And yours. Plus, cocktails. Need more details? But of course: classic1073.org/classical-cocktails.
Prices are all over the place these days. I’m not referring so much to record-high gas prices, which the AAA pegged, at this writing, to be two cents north of four bucks. Many of us still aren’t driving all that much these days, so, so what? Milk and eggs, well … gulp. So, why not let’s focus on two things: Twitter and the AT&T tower downtown. The former sold for a ridiculously high price, the latter for a song. Let’s ‘climb down’ the latter. Missouri’s largest, and vacant, office building sold in April for less than 2% of the $205.5 million it went for in 2006—$4 million and change. That may be even less than a respectable estate would go for in one of our more upscale suburbs. We know what you’re thinking: Condos! With a helluva view—at 46 stories, the tower occupies a full city block—why the heck not? There could even be a pool up top. Plus a pool table in your place! Granted, this comes from a man with the real estate savvy of thinking Chesterfield Mall would make a great roller disco. OK; Twitter. Don’t use it, probably never will, so I’ve no clue why the world’s richest man just paid $44 billion for a whole lot of air when he’s so obviously full of hot gas already. The rich are different, I hear. Wouldn’t know. I’m a part-time journalist. I’d be lucky to find 44 cents in this house.

WAS DRY?” Who had a hit with the tune? What year was it released? What other significant detail about this song had to be part of a trivia contest at somebody’s parish?
LAST ISSUE’S Q&A Greenland, a territory of Denmark, is the largest island on the planet. What really big island comes in at No. 2? Greenland is our planet’s largest island. It’s icy. The No. 2 really big island probably has no naturally occurring ice. New Guinea is closer than 500 miles from the equator. Ice probably doesn’t last long in a cooler there. Try the fridge. (Editor’s Note: No, no, no, and no: Australia and Antarctica are continents. Sorry.)
RECEIVE A SPECIAL GIFT WITH YOUR PURCHASE! For the month of May
a Don Corrig
n
fenton His esteemed journalism career began before the would-be newspaperman could even grow facial hair. But he could throw. As a youth in the 1960s, Don Corrigan delivered about 175 copies of the Belleville News-Democrat from his red Schwinn every day. He’d fold them all in a square so they had some velocity when they sailed onto a subscriber’s front porch. “They could’ve dented a screen door,” Corrigan recalls of those days, years before his 1969 graduation from Althoff Catholic High School. Of late, you may have agreed or disagreed with Corrigan’s views upon reading his columns in the weekly Webster-Kirkwood Times, which he joined for its second issue in 1978. Corrigan was teaching journalism at the relatively small Webster College when he bumped into Times staffers at a typewriter store. Fast-forward to today: Typewriters are obsolete, and ‘emeritus’ has been tacked onto both his roles as a professor at multinational Webster University and weekly newspaper editor. Although the paper has been under new ownership for a while, he still enjoys having an office there. Along the way, he’s written several nonfiction books, three with a slant toward environmentalism and the great outdoors, mostly in the Show-Me State. His latest focuses on his stomping grounds for the last four decades. Amazing Webster Groves, published recently by Reedy Press in the StL, focuses mainly on the suburb’s residents who made it big, yet never forgot from whence they came, from comedienne Phyllis Diller (she called her husband ‘Fang’) and ‘Holy Cow’ sportscaster Harry Caray to William Webster, former director both of the FBI and CIA—and no relation to the Webster after whom the town was named. That remains somewhat of a mystery, notes Corrigan: “We’re pretty sure it wasn’t Daniel Webster,” he says, adding, with a smile, “and not the Webster of the dictionary.” The landlocked community was home to Richard Lockwood and John Swon, both notable steamboat captains who had streets in town named after them. American novelist and essayist Jonathan Franzen recalls his primal fears growing up in Webster, including anxiety over “school dances, hardball, puberty, music teachers and the school cafeteria.” Prior to Corrigan’s book on one of the metro’s most desirable suburbs—subtitled “Six Square Miles of the American Dream”—is one whose subject is less palatable: “American Roadkill,” a story of the animal slaughter on our nation’s highways. So, why is this article datelined Fenton? Well, that’s kind of where Corrigan lives now, down a ways from Sunset Hills in an unincorporated area on the bluffs above one of the metro’s major rivers. A state representative from Kirkwood “used to call me the William Randolph Hearst of the Meramec River Valley,” he says. “So I feel an obligation to stay close to the muddy Meramec.” Corrigan has several book signings slated for the remainder of May and into June. Among them: May 20 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at Webster Groves Public Library. For more about what Corrigan the environmentalist has up his sleeve, visit environmentalecho.com.

I’VE NOT HAD A COHESIVE THOUGHT
find five letter words that end with ‘rty?’ Or is it the same thing as looking at the Scrabble dictionary between turns? I hate to lose, but somehow when I win with the help of Google, it feels a little dirty. Thoughts? I am a crazy book lady. As I mentioned in a previous column, I installed a Free Little Library in front of my house. We had so many visitors, I decided to install a second one just for children’s books since those seemed to turn over especially fast. If you aren’t familiar with Free Little Libraries, the idea is simple: People take a book and replace it with another, so it’s a self-sustaining resource. My two libraries are slowly but surely getting there! I LOVE books. Reading and commenting on Twitter are my only hobbies! Right now, I spend far too much time organizing the books in the two little libraries and then watching people walk by my house. First, I get peeved at the walkers that don’t even stop and look at the books. What is wrong with you? Don’t you want to read? Then, I get really upset when
for a full column in weeks, so instead you get four mini ones! The birds. While we were away in Florida, a robin built a nest in a wreath on our back door. The robin promptly laid eggs and became very protective of the nest. The eggs hatched, and now, I can see baby birds from the back door. The problem? I can no longer use my back door because it will become a scene from The Birds with me as Tippi Hedren. Interestingly, Stella and Stanley, our two dogs and the most likely of all of us to do the baby birds harm, are allowed access in and out of the door with no attack. Anyone know how long before these baby birds will leave the nest? I just want to use my back door without getting ambushed. I know it is not a hawk, but robins can be scary too! Am I a cheater? I love playing Wordle. Let me rephrase. I love playing until I get to my fourth try and still don’t have the answer. So, that’s when I turn to Google for help. Am I cheating if I use Google to

someone looks at the books and DOESN’T take one. It is all I can do not to run outside and ask them what title they are looking for so I can recommend a similar one. The best is when someone actually takes a book. I want to shout out, “You will love that one!” As you can see there are several issues here. First, why am I staring out the windows so much? And second, why am I taking a stranger’s actions so personally? I don’t really need your thoughts on this one. I think this is best left for my therapist. My husband’s driving. I heard from a few of you regarding the article about my husband’s driving, wondering if it upset him. No, it did not because he read it before I submitted it—I am pretty clever after 39 years of marriage. And to be honest, my husband often ‘forgets’ to read my column unless I hand it to him and say, “aren’t I funny?” He always says yes. He too has been married for 39 years. Peace my Peeps.

SPIRIT OF SERVICE SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
by stephanie wallace THE SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL WAS FOUNDED ON A CHALLENGE. In 1833, Frédéric Ozanam, a law student at the Sorbonne, was asked about the practical impact of his Catholic faith. His answer was to establish a philanthropic organization that would serve the residents of some of Paris’ most impoverished neighborhoods. Within a few years, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul spread across Europe, and it reached America with the creation of the St. Louis chapter in 1845. Today, the nonprofit remains dedicated to providing person-to-person services to the members of our community who need it most. With more than 3,400 trained volunteers involved in hundreds of thousands of hours of community service each year, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is organized into neighborhood groups. While affiliated with local parishes, you don’t have to be Catholic to be part of the nonprofit, according to executive director John Foppe. “We’re always looking for people who want to serve the community, help their neighbors and grow closer to God,” he says. “The pillars of our mission are spirituality, friendship and service. Our work is done person to person, so we directly help people right here in St. Louis.” The foundation of the society’s work is home visits. In pairs, volunteers go to the homes of families to get an understanding of what basic needs they may be struggling with. The nonprofit helps people address food insecurity, pay rent or other utilities and provides much needed items, such as beds. “We have a variety of additional poverty assistance programs, including transportation services to ensure people can get to work,” Foppe says. “We also run a prescription drug assistance program to provide medication at no cost, and many parishes have their own unique ministries.” The nonprofit operates nine thrift stores in the metropolitan area. “Anyone can shop, and all purchases go toward supporting people in need,” Foppe says. “We’re also always looking for people to donate items. Our mantra is ‘Shop. Donate. Volunteer.’” To offer further support, the nonprofit has a voucher program. If volunteers see

that a family needs specific items, they can write and distribute vouchers during home visits. That way families can pick up furniture and other things from Society of St. Vincent de Paul thrift stores without having to pay for them out of pocket. With the impact of the pandemic ongoing, the work of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has been more important than ever. Foppe notes local families were hit hard, with more people seeking help as inflation impacted the cost of living. “We’re a basic needs organization,” he says. “There are so many wonderful nonprofits that focus on important issues like mental health, domestic violence and substance abuse. Our goal is to help stabilize people who don’t have a roof over their head, FO CU ON PH ILA NTSHR can’t pay their bills or are struggling to put food on their table. That OP Y way they can take advantage of other organizations’ services and do more prolonged work to better their lives.” & SPEC IAL SECT ION

GIVING BACK Left Bank Books Foundation

by stephanie wallace
VOLUNTEERS FROM THE ST. LOUIS CHAPTER FOR TRUMAN STATE UNIVERSITY ALUMNI PACKAGE BANNED BOOKS TO BE SHIPPED
IN THE LAST YEAR, attempts to ban books have surged across the country. The numbers are the highest they’ve been since the American Library Association began tracking book challenges more than 20 years ago. Many of the works challenged, such as The Bluest Eye, All Boys Aren’t Blue and Heavy (all of which were pulled from shelves in Wentzville schools this year), deal with important issues, including race, gender and sexuality. In order to ensure that inclusive conversations are not shut down, Left Bank Books Foundation has created the Literacy & Justice Project to provide banned books free of charge. T&S spoke with Left Banks Books co-owner Kris Kleindienst to learn more about the initiative.

As a local bookstore, why is it important to have a nonprofit component? We were somewhat of a visionary among bookstores when we created this hybrid model. We established the foundation because we were seeing that bookselling alone wasn’t sustainable given our mission-based approach. We believe community service is a huge part of why Left Bank Books exists. We try to stock books that may not fly off the shelves but are important. We also host author events, and those costs are usually not covered by sales. We needed a way to make everything work without compromising our mission, and the foundation was the answer. We’ve kept things flexible so that we have both short- and long-term projects and can be responsive to community needs. What programs does the foundation offer? One of our biggest projects is River City Readers, which puts new, culturally relevant books in the hands of students in St. Louis public schools. We also organize author visits for classrooms, but the pandemic has had a huge impact on how we work in schools. Our goal is to make sure students don’t just follow a curriculum, but discover a love of reading. So many of these kids don’t have access to books or don’t associate reading with pleasure.
Why is access to literature important, especially for young people,? I have always felt very strongly that kids should be able to read what they want. Reading is how we discover, explore and find ourselves, and it’s where we pick up critical thinking skills. Kids need to be able to read books that they can see themselves in, and so much of the literature on school curriculums is not inclusive. If kids can’t access the world through reading, they are going to be hampered when they become adults. Why are banned books a critical issue right now? The books being taken off of school shelves are the ones that often deal with issues like race and sexuality. Very rarely are books banned that don’t touch on these topics. For decades these authors have been targeted, and denying access to these works is a way to re-institutionalize racism and homophobia. Politically, things are very polarized right now, and we’re not talking and listening as a community any more. Banning books is a piece of that. Libraries and bookstores need to stand on the frontline and be guardians of free access to information.
How did the Literacy & Justice Project start? We had a response from people before we even put out a fundraising call. Customers came to us wanting to know how they could help, so we came up with this program. To date, we’ve given away books to more than 200 people and raised more than $15,000 to do so. We’ve also been reaching out to schools and reading specialists because they don’t all have the resources to create the library they want. How can people get involved in the Literacy & Justice Project? The easiest way is to go to our website and make a donation. We’re also still providing books to anyone who asks. If you would like one of the books, you can fill out the request form, and we’ll mail you one free of charge. Are there future plans for the initiative? We’re going to be partnering with the ACLU in September for Banned Books Week to do more things focused on the importance of the First Amendment guarantee of free speech in education. We currently don’t have plans to change how the project is operating, but we have been discussing the possibility of setting up a Literacy & Justice table to hand out books at other events like Pride in June.

ACCESS ACADEMIES
by julia m. johnson AN ACCESS ACADEMIES EDUCATION isn’t just about learning school subjects, it’s about discovering the objects of a child’s intellectual curiosity and employing them to foster lifelong achievement. The organization centers a spirit of cooperation by teaching middle schoolers the importance of sharing what they’ve gained, says executive director Shelly Williams. The impressive achievements of current and former students will be spotlighted at Making Our Mark, the 13th annual Access Academies Celebration Dinner, a hybrid fundraising event to be held online and at The Ritz-Carlton St. Louis on June 2. “Young people are the voice of Access, and we want them to tell their stories in their own words,” Williams says. “The program features a great combination of present students talking about their experiences and alumni who have returned to share what their future plans look like.” In-person attendees will gather for a cocktail hour at 5 p.m., dinner will begin at 6:30 p.m., and the online portion of the evening will kick off at 7 p.m. The event helps support the work done by Access Academies, which since 2005 has partnered with area faith-based schools to ensure kids from underserved areas of St. Louis City can access the high-quality education they deserve. After-school enrichment, counseling, mentoring, scholarships and a work-study program round out the comprehensive attention students receive. The results speak for themselves: 99% of Access students graduate on time, 98% gain admission to college preparatory high schools, and 96% are admitted to colleges and post-secondary schools. “We don’t just see our kids through middle school, we also support them as they get into the best high schools and colleges in the region,” Williams says. “We want St. Louisans to know that we make an 11-year commitment
JOHN VATTEROTT WITH ACCESS ACADEMIES STUDENTS
to our students. That promise is important, and it requires resources, but our kids are so worth it. We gave out $759,000 in scholarships and school fees last year, and the impact is considerable.” Williams says Access is several months into a two-year partnership with Saint Louis University’s education department to evaluate the impact of its school programming. “We also are strengthening our college and career services,” she notes. “We offer an ACT prep program in partnership with SLU, and our Access to College Saturdays initiative gives students a chance to receive counseling and mentoring for their applications, essays and other needs. We also actively help kids connect with the My Missouri Scholarship Promise program to create 529 savings accounts for college.” Founder and retired chair emeritus John Vatterott says he was inspired to help launch Access Academies out of a desire to see St. Louis kids and neighborhoods succeed. “I felt that the program would help preserve inner city religious parish schools by embedding the NativityMiguel model of education at existing urban sites, beginning with the sixth grade,” he says. “The theory was that the enhanced education would draw students to the school, secure the school’s future and help preserve the neighborhood. Having strong parochial elementary schools in underserved areas both stabilizes the region and provides opportunities for children to be successful in life.” &

OFF the cuff w/claiborne steve schankman
When it comes to major enter tainment events in St . Louis and beyond, the name Steve Schankman has to be par t of the conversation. For more than 40 years, his company, Contemporar y Productions, has been a mainstay in the area. While big conglomerates have their say in who you can see in the Lou, Schankman is working to ensure that fans of live music don’ t have to worr y. HOW DID A FLEDGLING MUSICIAN END UP ON THE BACK STAGE SIDE OF THE BUSINESS? Aug. 4 1968, The Temptations were playing Kiel Auditorium. It was the last show they did with David Ruffin, so it was a ver y memorable night . Thanks to my mentor, I was booked for that gig. I’m looking around, and there were 10,000 people there. At around $4 a ticket , that ’s $40,000. I was making $120 for the show. That ’s when the promoter bug bit me, and the nex t year, I was bringing The Grateful Dead to the Fox Theatre. WHAT WERE SOME OF THE BE ACONS THAT HELPED GUIDE YOU ON YOUR WAY ? The biggest break we ever got was a guy named Frank Barsalona. He founded Premier Talent Agency. There was only one office in New York , but it had Bruce Springsteen and all of the big English bands that came over in the British Invasion. We brought Yes to Kiel in 1974 and sold out two nights. A week later, we get a call that Mr. Barsalona wanted to meet us the nex t day in New York . My co-founder Ir v Zuckerman and I were just young guys who had only been on a plane once or twice, but we booked a flight . When we got there, Barsalona told us he was impressed and would give us all of his acts in St . Louis. WHO WA S THE BEST ENTERTAINER TO WORK WITH, AND WHOSE CALL WOULD YOU LE T GO TO VOICEMAIL? The best is hard because you’ ve got to look at each genre. For jaz z , it was cer tainly Maynard Ferguson, who I managed until his death. With pop music, it ’s Billy Joel. We star ted when his career was just beginning. Looking at rock and roll, I would have to say Journey. I’ ve known the band forever. For the best , I can never name just one ar tist , but the other one, I can tell you immediately. July 2 , 1991, A xel Rose decided it would be fun to jump into the audience and stop his show shor t a couple songs. It was a horrible night . People got injured. It was something I never thought I would see in my life. IF YOU WEREN’ T DOING CONTEMPORARY PRODUCTIONS, WHAT WOULD YOUR CAREER BE? I’ ve always been on the boards of a lot of charities, so maybe running a nonprofit . I’d also probably be practicing my trumpet getting ready for a weekend gig. Maybe, I’d do what you’re doing and write an enter tainment column. I’d be looking for something to keep me going ever yday. WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO STICK AROUND ST. LOUIS? My grandfather Schankman actually had the first musical conser vator y in St . Louis, the Systematic School of Music.

HOOKED – – BOOKS by patty hannum
The Maid: A Novel by Nita Prose This surprising mystery features an untraditional heroine who looks at life quite literally. I can usually figure out the ‘who’ within the first few chapters of a whodunit. Not this book. It is both interesting and heartwarming. I know it is a Good Morning America pick, but don’t let its popularity turn you off.
PROVIDING WOOD SURFACES OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP FOR OVER 100 YEARS WOOD FLOOR SPECIALIST SINCE 1910 Installation / Repairs / Sand & Finish / Home Gyms
A Little Hope: A Novel by Ethan Joella Is it good when a book causes you to panic a bit as it runs out of pages? Well, this one did. A mixture of sadness and hope within interweaving stories makes for a very quick read. Yes, this is a Today Show pick—sorry for again following the popular crowd, but it certainly deserves the recognition. Read the last few pages with a tissue!
Nowhere Girl: A Memoir of a Fugitive Childhood by Cheryl Diamond Let’s all take a minute and thank our parents for not being the two featured in this book. A story of two people who kept their family on the run for dubious reasons and the chaotic life it caused. This is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. We should all have a bit of this author’s grit.
Creative Quest by Ahmir Questlove Thompson An odd choice for me, I know, but I’m challenging myself by reading different types of books this year. Questlove is the bandleader of The Roots, the official house band on The Tonight Show. In his book, this creative genius shares his insights and stories to get your juices flowing. Will I ever be a Questlove? No, but he sure is inspiring.

HEALTH & BEAUTY
What’s that Sp
BY STEPHANIE WALLACE
is
there anything that deflates your confidence more than noticing a facial blemish in the mirror? While our instinct may be to poke, prod and pop to make the unsightly spot go away, most of the time, it’s better to just let it be. To know the best steps to prevent and treat any blemish, it’s important to first understand what exactly is going on with your skin.
BLACKHEAD
INGROWN HAIR
ROSACEA
SUNSPOT
How to spot it: This mild form of acne gets its name from its black or dark appearance. Unlike pimples, blackheads are not inflamed, so they are not painful.
How to spot it: Like acne, these blemishes appear to be red or raised bumps. They also may cause a small pus-filled blister.
How to spot it: The key symptoms for the conditions are facial redness with swollen red bumps and small visible blood vessels.
How to spot it: Also known as liver or age spots, these blemishes are characterized by flat brown patches.
What causes it: Blackheads form when the openings of hair follicles clog up. A bump called a comedo is created by dead skin cells and oil collecting in the opening. If the skin over the bump opens, the exposure to air causes it to appear black. How to treat it: You can prevent blackheads by regularly washing your face, using products that are noncomedogenic and exfoliate your skin.
What cases it: Ingrown hairs are caused by the hair growing sideways into your skin instead of toward the surface. This often results from hair curling inwards after a shave, tweeze or wax. It is often caused by clogged pores. How to treat it: Oftentime, an ingrown hair will go away on its own. To avoid them forming, wash your face daily to prevent pores from clogging. Try improving your shaving technique by shaving in the direction your hair is growing. Using shaving cream and applying after shave moisturizer also can treat ingrown hairs.
What causes it: The cause of rosacea is unknown. It may result from an overactive immune system, heredity, environmental factors or a combination of these. How to treat it: Treatment should be focused on controlling the symptoms. Along with medical intervention, laser therapy can remove visible blood vessels, and opting to use skin care products that cause less irritation can reduce redness. It also is important to protect your skin from the sun.
What causes it: Sunspots are hyperpigmentation caused by ultraviolet light speeding up the production of melanin. After years of sun exposure, spots appear in areas where melanin becomes clumped. How to treat it: In most cases sunspots are harmless, but be sure to consult a medical professional to make sure they are not a cancerous lesion. To reduce age spots appearance, there are several options, such as microdermabrasion, laser therapy, chemical peels and cryotherapy.
ECZEMA How to spot it: Symptoms vary from person to person. Common signs include thickened scaly skin, dry skin, red to brownish-gray patches, and raised bumps that may leak fluid and scale over when scratched. Eczema is common on the hands, feet, ankles, wrists, neck, upper chest, eyelids and inside the bend of elbows and knees. What causes it: Eczema is caused by a gene variation that affects skin’s ability to retain moisture and protect you from bacteria, irritants and allergens. This leaves skin more vulnerable to environmental factors. How to treat it: Take shorter showers, using warm instead of hot water, and moisturize your skin at least two times a day. It’s also helpful to identify triggers that worsen the condition, so you can avoid them. Common triggers include sweat, stress, obesity, soaps, detergents, dust and pollen.

PAPULES AND PUSTULES How to spot it: Papules are small raised bumps on the skin that appear inflamed. They do not contain any pus. Pustules are red tender bumps that contain pus at their tips. What causes it: When a clogged pore becomes infected and inflammation spreads, it can create a papule or pustule. How to treat it: Don’t pick at the inflamed area or try to pop the blemish because that may spread the infection. Gently wash the affected area twice a day and stay away from irritants. If regularly cleansing does not stop breakouts, consult your doctor for medical treatment options.
SKIN TAG How to spot it: These common skin growths are characterized by a shortpiece of skin that sticks out. They are often painless but may become irritated if they chafe against clothing or something else. What causes it: Skin tags are formed when extra cells grow in the top layers of the skin. They tend to develop when the skin rubs against itself. How to treat it: Most skin tags are harmless and can be left alone. However, if the appearance is unwanted or it’s located in an area that becomes irritated, it can be surgically removed or frozen off by a medical professional.
WHITEHEAD How to spot it: These blemishes appear as skin colored spots or bumps. On lighter skin, they may appear to have a white center surrounded by a red halo. While for darker skin, the halo may appear a darker or more purple hue. What causes it: Like blackheads, whiteheads are formed by clogged pores. If the skin over the comedo that forms remains closed, it stays white. Excess oil production also can cause acne flares. How to treat it: Like other acne, avoid picking or popping whiteheads. To prevent them, opt for oil-free, non-clogging skin care and makeup and regularly wash your face with a gentle cleanser.

Get a Handle on Seasonal Allergies

SKIN DISCOLORATION
hnson
By Julia M. Jo
Warmer weather brings a frustrating cycle of seasonal allergy problems for many people. Sneezing, watery eyes and nasal drainage are among the most-reported symptoms, but some individuals experience others that are less common, and people with conditions like asthma have their own set of concerns. T&S spoke with allergist and immunologist Dr. Hamsa Subramanian of Signature Medical Group for the scoop on seasonal allergies and what can be done to control them.
When combined with your own Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP), SoME® Skincare gives you a truly personalized cosmetic experience. Try with microneedling for ultimate results
Q: What are some other signs of seasonal allergies? A: Sufferers may not have symptoms like sniffling, sneezing and drainage; they may just experience itching
when grass allergens are at their height. Eye itching is common when tree pollen is high, and the skin, ears, nose and throat may itch as well. Other people get headaches, ear pain and pressure, or a persistent cough. Some people experience a particular sound in the throat when they are suffering from allergies.
Q: Is it possible for a person’s allergy symptoms to vary over time?
A: Yes, some sufferers will notice more problems once they are no longer wearing a face mask. Also, some people may experience different symptoms this season than they did last year. If you take a medication like an antihistamine and it only works on some of your symptoms, you may end up with more issues like congestion because you have only been partially treated. It’s important to see a doctor to find out what the best individual therapy plan is. It’s also worth noting that if a mask helps your symptoms, you should wear one while mowing the lawn and doing other yardwork. Q: Does where you live affect the seriousness of your allergies? A: It plays a big role. For example, if you live close to a park with trees and pollen, or you are on an open
piece of land with a lot of grass, you may have more problems. If you live in an apartment complex where the grass is mowed regularly, keep your windows closed during that time. You’ll also notice that if you travel to a drier state like Arizona, you may not have as many issues because they tend to plant different types of grass there. Seasonal allergy sufferers may be better off living in an urban area with fewer trees, gardens, grasses and pollen.
Q: What do asthma patients need to know about allergies? A: There is a condition called allergic asthma or allergy-induced asthma that flares up when you are exposed
to substances to which you are sensitive. If you have it, you should follow up regularly with a doctor. Controlling your allergies may mean you can use less asthma medication.
Q: Is it helpful to monitor seasonal pollen counts before going outside? A: It definitely can be beneficial and reassuring for allergy patients. Even if you just want to go for a walk or
sit in the park, you should check the pollen count. It may be lower in the afternoon when the sun is out, so you can enjoy being outdoors with less discomfort.
Q: What are some solutions for spring allergy relief other than medication? A: When you’re spending time indoors, keep your windows closed. If you have pets that go outside, keep them bathed and groomed so they carry less pollen into the house. Use rewetting drops for eye symptom relief, and try a saline spray to rinse the pollen from your nasal passages. Two sprays in each nostril, four to five times a day, can be very helpful.

BLOG OF... PICKING THE PERFECT KITCHEN COUNTER STOOLS While kitchen counter stools make it easy to entertain and visit with friends and family, deciding which stool is right for your space can quickly become overwhelming. We put together tips to help you with the process of choosing that perfect kitchen counter stool. DESIGN: BRIA HAMMEL INTERIORS | PHOTO: SPACECRAFTING
DESIGN: BECKI OWENS | PHOTO: REBEKAH WESTOVER
DESIGN: BODINE WHITE | PHOTO: ALYSSA ROSENHECK
1. Determine the height of the kitchen counter stool you need. When considering height, you do not want to play a guessing game. This is an especially crucial step if you're ordering online. Start with taking down the height of your current countertop. Counter height is typically 36 inches from floor to surface, and bar height is 42 inches. Sometimes people can run into issues when their countertop height is between 36 and 42 inches. It’s also possible that some countertops have an apron, or a lip, on the edge. This can create less space between the seat and the bottom of the countertop. Just keep the nine-to-12-inch rule in mind and measure your counter height accordingly. 2. Choose a style of kitchen counter stool that suits your lifestyle and taste. Depending on your lifestyle, there are various reasons to choose one style of stool over another. Whatever you choose, you want to love the way it looks, right? We suggest choosing stools as functional as they are lovely because these are pieces you and your family will use every day. ▪ Backless Kitchen Counter Stools: Easy to tuck and conceal under the counter, these are visually less distracting, which is ideal for tight spaces or if you don’t want the focus of the kitchen to be on the stools. ▪ Kitchen Counter Stools with Arms: An ideal option if you and your family and friends plan to occupy them often. However, they may be more difficult to slide beneath a counter. ▪ Swivel Kitchen Counter Stools: If you have a passion for entertaining, swivel stools are the way to go. They prevent potential damage from scooting across the floor and allow for easy movement. 3. Decide how many kitchen counter stools you need for your space. Here are two important factors to consider when deciding how many kitchen counter stools you need: How many people will use your kitchen seating, and how long is your countertop? A key factor to consider is the width of your stools. Wider stools typically allow for more comfort, but in tight spaces, a more narrow stool works well. Luckily, we have an easy formula to help you figure out just how many kitchen counter stools you need for your space: Take the total length of your counter and divide it by the width of your desired counter stool, then add six inches. Adding six inches allows for an adequate amount of breathing room, making them more visually and functionally appealing. 4. Find the right material. The material of your counter stool depends on the look you want and its level of maintenance. ▪ Wood is a material that wipes down easily. However, it may be more susceptible to unwanted knicks and scratches. ▪ Metal complements any countertop with a modern, sleek, classy feel without sacrificing durability. ▪ As suited for a kitchen as they are a sunroom, rattan and wicker stools give a light and breezy, more casual aesthetic. Something to keep in mind, however, is that these materials require a bit more upkeep with spills due to their spaces and gaps. ▪ Upholstered stools are an excellent choice for added coziness in the kitchen. They take a bit of extra work to maintain, so choosing a durable fabric like polyester or leather will enhance its performance and prevent cleaning headaches.

KIM WARDEN OF CALIFORNIA CLOSETS
t what’s ’re looking a e w k ee w is Th rganization! hot in home o What are you excited about right now? I was fortunate enough to go to the California Closets annual conference recently. I was able to see the new palette refresh. There are a lot of exciting new colors and finishes that will be available. While cooler gray tones are still popular, we are seeing a bit of a shift away from them. Homeowners are starting to lean toward warmer, more natural colors. We’re also seeing more blues. How did the pandemic impact home organization? It impacted how we view our homes. During lockdown, people started looking around their house and realizing what could use updating. It also became more necessary that rooms be multifunctional since both school and work had to be done remotely. We worked on a lot of office spaces. Even two years later, more homeowners are interested in making the investment to upgrade their houses than before the pandemic. What are some popular solutions for multiuse spaces? A big thing was ensuring that home offices could be ergonomically correct, so people didn’t have to deal with pain while working remotely. Even if it was a multifunctional room, the space had to be addressed as a fulltime work area instead of a temporary one.

Sit stands desks are helpful for that. Many people didn’t want to give up their spare bedroom but needed a dedicated office space, so wall beds were a popular solution to ensure there was still a place for guests. Where did you suggest homeowners start the organization process? I love it when my clients bring in inspiration photos from Pinterest or Instagram. It really helps give me a vision for their taste and the overall look they’re going for. Our process begins with a home consultation so we can see the house. Prior to that, homeowners really need to think about how they intend to use the space and what their budget will be. Home organization is extremely customizable, and there are many variables. The more information you bring to a consultation, the more streamlined the design process is, which results in a space customized to meet your needs. Are there any projects that are especially popular in the spring and summer? As it warms up, people start thinking about organizing their garages. Later in the summer, back to school is a big consideration. Mudrooms are a popular project during this time. Parents want a more organized drop zone for things like shoes and backpacks when kids walk in the door.
