From the Editors

Thinking about decorating your home but the thought makes you break out in a cold sweat? Take tips from the experts (page 80) for find-ing an interior designer that’s right for you.

Although the anticipation of spring may be the first thing on our minds, Mother Nature can still be very unpredictable during this season. To that end, we share 10 ideas (page 20) on how to beat cabin fever — and stay warm and dry in the process.

Maybe you’re looking for a little more outdoor adventure, and hit-ting the pavement on a bicycle is what you had in mind. Four local bike shops unveil the latest in bicycles, from cruisers to high-tech rides for the serious athlete (page 34).

Whatever adventure awaits you, remember spring is a time of rebirth and fresh starts — whether it’s from the comforts of your home or out on the open road.

The Power of Place

— Janet Raasch, Jordan Dechambre and Amy Siewert, managing editors

14 M | April 2011

At what point does a house become a home? For many it’s the moment we fill it with personal possessions,

claiming the space as our own. It’s all about the power of place, and how you define yourself

through your own sense of style. It’s more than placing furniture and adding accessories. The atmosphere is created through your daily ritu-als, and entertaining family and friends.

And as editors we look forward to the Home and Garden Issue, when we are able to showcase some of our new favorite projects. There’s the newly built home in Mequon that capitalizes on its natural setting (page 90), an art collector’s loft in the Third Ward (page 97), and the high-rise sophistication of a downtown condo dripping with glamour (page 74).

But part of home is also the land that encompasses it. Check out one couple’s interpretation of its rural landscape (page 83).

Phil in the Blank

10 things to Appreciate in AprilT.S. Elliot called April the cruelest month. Edna

St. Vincent Millay said it was for idiots. That Shelly dude said something profound about showers and May flowers.

Here’s something more to look forward to in April:

“This sport is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything is new again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops, and leaves you to face the winter alone.” — Baseball’s late Commissioner A. Bart Giamatti

There’s nothing wrong with April, the month — not the person who cuts my hair, but we don’t have time to get into that now either. That should probably be a separate column …

Anyway, it’s all how you deal with it. You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses. For those of you who don’t get that, try substituting suds and beer.

April can be a great month in this great city:1. The Brewers are still in first place.2. Bobby G. doesn’t come out of hibernation for

two more weeks.3. It’s a particularly good month for romance in

Milwaukee, but then so are July, September, Octo-ber, November, May, March, June, December and August. That’s what I read in some magazine, any-way. It probably has something to do with our new website, the Fonzie statue, Jordan’s recent trip to Fashion Week in New York, Holi Parker’s mysteri-ous disappearance at the last meeting of the Man-ly Men’s/Girl Haters Club at Ernie’s, and the Dan Brown conspiracy theory connection between these seemingly random events.

4. A Men’s Health poll indicates we’re less “pissed off” than most other places in the country. It undoubtedly has something to do with Sprecher beer and Tomaso’s pizza. Scott Walker moving to

Madison didn’t hurt either. (Before you call, please be aware there are two ways to interpret that last statement.)

5. My friend Gonzo, who spends the winter in Arizona, comes back this month. (Oh, wait. That entry actually belongs on the “Great Things About Winter” list. It may also be a key component of No. 4.)

6. My younger friend Jerry likes to depart from our health club some mornings by telling me he has to get off to work to pay for my impending Social Security. April 15 is your day, buddy. Keep my retirement fund growing. Next month we’ll see if you can take a half-day off on a Sunday. No promises! But, maybe, just maybe …

7. I store my Porsche for the winter. I could take it for a drive if the battery wasn’t dead, and I move six garbage cans, a snow blower, all the lawn fur-niture that goes on the deck and patio, two bikes, a large bucket of balls, bats, skates and rodents, three bags of lawn fertilizer, some kind of soc-cer net and my daughter’s Volvo, which also has a dead battery and is parked behind it. Maybe next month …

8. I won’t have to hear, “Is it cold enough for ya?” until at least October.

9. More terrifying than Stephen King’s latest 1,000-pager, this is our Home and Garden Issue. While zombies, werewolves and things that go bump in the night may leave you scared spitless, it’s landscaping, gardening, fertilizing, pruning and lawn mowing that give me nightmares, also known as “the willies” if you live in Cedarburg. Luckily, it’s too cold this month to worry about those lost episodes of “True Blood”-type chores. Instead, we can focus on the NCAA tournament, baseball and the couch.

10. Fran, our art director, is telling me my column is too long, and I need to cut it. Anyway, the abso-lutely very best thing about April in Milwaukee is

Jane Dawson teaches women how to feel safe.

Shields suffers from macular degeneration, a condition that has left him legally blind. He was stricken with the disease when he was working in western South Dakota with the Pine Ridge Reservation in the early 1990s. “So it became more and more problematic for me to exist out there with declining vi-sion,” Shields says. “I couldn’t drive.”

After spending three months of sabbati-cal time studying Spanish in Guatemala in 1996, his superiors brought him to Milwau-kee, where he worked at St. Patrick Parish at 7th and Washington streets. In the course of working with the Latino community on the South Side, it became clear to Shields they lacked a place to gather for workshops, retreats or conferences.

It was then that Shields had a vision for an abandoned, vandalized building, now home to the center. Although the 115-year-old building was a wreck, it still had strong bones, he says. “I would take people around and I would say, ‘We can do this here, that there,’” he says. “I had more than one per-son say they couldn’t believe they were looking at the same building I was. It was one of those things — some people saw this broken down, horrible building, and I saw the Princess of Aragon.”

During the last decade, Shields and a group of volunteers have slowly created the center — a cozy, welcoming, three-story home featuring Latino decor, original cabi-netry and decorative ceilings. The center features several large meeting rooms, a din-ing area in the basement and an enclosed courtyard area outside, where programs and gatherings can be held informally. “I would really like to say that I had a comprehensive idea. I didn’t,” Shields says. “I’m Irish and a Greek major, and those are two mitigating factors right there for comprehensive ideas. I was just convinced the place needed to exist for the people to come. It’s now a casa.”

Urban Renewal

David Shields, a Marquette University priest, created the Casa Romero Renewal Center, which offers outreach programs for the Latino community.

Event: A Taste Of Latin AmericaWhen: Saturday, April 30Time: 7-11:30 p.m.Where: Tripoli Shrine Center 3000 W. Wisconsin Ave., MilwaukeeTickets: $30 in advance; $40 at the doorWebsite: www.casaromerocenter.org

The Rev. David Shields believes he has experienced a bit of divine intervention. Without a debilitating disease that struck him about two decades ago, the Jesuit priest

might never have come to Milwaukee and created Casa Romero Renewal Center, a bilingual retreat on Bruce Street that offers spiritual programs to the Latino community. “We say our mission statement is to form and renew individuals, and to strengthen the family and build the community,” Shields says during an interview at the center. “That is the real goal. How can we build a stronger civic community, a stronger faith community and a stronger com-munity in Milwaukee? Our goal is a better Milwaukee and a better society.”

The center is home to more than a dozen inventive faith-based programs that focus on the Latino family and the journey of life. The La Quinceañera — Dreaming a Future of Hope pro-gram is a day-long bilingual retreat for teenage girls and their mothers to connect and build a stronger relationship. Another program — Canasta Liena — is a four-session retreat intended to strengthen the spiritual and communication bonds throughout the family.

“Between the first-generation and second-generation Latino, there is a real disconnect be-cause the parents, when they think about what it means to be a teenager, think about life in the past (in their homeland) and the kids have never been there, and can’t go there because of the immigration system,” he says.

Going Against the GrainWhen Dwayne Sperber, a Delafield furniture maker, first became acquainted with the

farm-to-the-table initiative, which seeks to bring more locally grown food to area grocery stores, restaurants and consumers, his first thought was “that table needs to be made from local wood.”

“We need to make smart use of local resources,” says Sperber, who is an advocate of turn-ing urban wood (trees in cities or suburban areas typically cut down because of disease or injury) into usable hardwood lumber.

Although the urban wood movement has been around since the 1970s, Sperber says the general public remains largely unaware about the opportunities to harvest such a regionally abundant natural resource for constructive uses. Right now, most urban timber is destined to become firewood or mulch.

Enter Urban(wood)Encounter, an exhibition that will showcase original furniture made from reclaimed urban trees. The exhibition, presented by Town & Country RC&D, will be held at the Design Within Reach Milwaukee Studio, 167 N. Broadway, on April 15 and 16, in conjunction with Gallery Night.

Urban(wood)Encounter challenges furniture makers and designers to create a functional piece of furniture using urban wood obtained from a source within a 150-mile radius of

Milwaukee. The inaugural event will feature 17 participants, ranging from well-known furniture makers like Celia Greiner to nov-ice designers like Natalya Neis, a 16-year-old high school student from Brookfield. “It’s really a platform to educate, promote and inspire people to use this abundant re-source,” Sperber says of the exhibition.

According to sustainable forestry studies, if urban timber were fully utilized, it could provide up to 30 percent of the United States’ timber needs. “Every tree should have a lo-cal destination,” says Sperber. “Urban trees can live on as sustainable building products that help conserve resources and support local jobs.”

Bruce Horigan, owner of Horigan Ur-ban Forest Products, a hardwood sawmill in Skokie, Ill., says the modern day urban wood movement seeks to revive the use of local lumber, a practice that was common during the pioneer days.

“The urban wood movement is a funny thing — I liken it to ‘Back to the Future,’” says Horigan, whose company is sponsoring the Urban(wood)Encounter. Horigan says the one-of-a-kind exhibition is a chance to show the public there are better uses for urban wood than relegating it to the wood chipper.

“It’s an opportunity to showcase pieces made from a resource that might otherwise be wasted,” he explains.

Most urban lumber is considered “charac-ter wood” as a result of its unique aesthetic qualities like knots, gnarls and wormwood holes, which does little to raise its market value or desirability.

“It’s true that urban wood has more char-acter, but we want people to understand that those unique qualities add to the beauty of a piece of furniture or flooring, not detract from it,” Horigan says.

But where the use of urban timber can have a real impact is the environment, ad-vocates say. Turning urban wood into us-able hardwood lumber would reduce the number of trees removed from living for-ests; reduce the amount of fuel consumed for transportation; and reduce the amount of carbon released into the atmosphere.

“Regularly using urban wood could have a huge impact,” Horigan says. “If we took down 30 percent fewer trees every year, it wouldn’t be long before future generations would see old growth forests again.”

If Urban(wood)Encounter is successful, Sperber says exhibition organizers would like to see the event return next year on a larger scale. “We want people to see the beauty of a resource that is literally right outside our doors.”

Furniture maker Dwayne Sperber says this stack of ash lumber stored in a barn at Riveredge Nature Center

is the starting point for turning urban wood into a usable product.

Crew’s New Skipper on Board

How does the addition of starting pitchers Zack Greinke and Shaun Marcum affect the team chemistry?It doesn’t change the way we go about doing things, but it changes the attitude of the fans, the attitude of some of the players. It excites them, because if we have the same kind of offensive year (as in 2010) and now we have this great starting staff, we’ve got a really good chance to win.

Attendance was almost 2.8 million last year. How do you personally plan to connect with the fans, to keep their interest strong and positive?I want the focus to be on the guys. I’m going to get criticized for some things I do. That’s fine, that’s part of the job. Say we succeed as a team — I don’t want this to be because of me. It’s because of the guys.

You’re the fan in the stands. What’s more fun to watch: a walk-off home run, a no-hitter by a pitcher or a double steal?The walk-off homers and no-hitters are huge — don’t happen all that often. The double steals or just the plain stolen base, hopefully that’s going to happen a lot.

It’s been said you have good people skills. How do you “coach” fun in the clubhouse? There are little things a manager can do, but I think most of it is trying to get the personality out of the players. If you can just get the players to relax … to laugh, to have fun and to play their game, if you have a good team and good quality players, they’ll come out of a slump quicker than being uptight about things.

Describe yourself as far as someone with a passion for the game.I’m pretty consistent in my personality. There’s not a lot of real highs and not lows. I try to stay positive. I need to care about what’s going on off the field and make sure everything’s fine there. If I can help with anything, fine. It may be just picking up a guy, just walking by and picking him up a little bit.

Do you have a favorite sports movie or a sports movie moment?“Brian’s Song” is one of my favorites, with the adversity that some people go through, and keep coming back. “Hoosiers” is just a great movie. It talked about the mental part of it a lot, and how people struggle with different things, and sticking with people.

Do you have special memories of some of the old stadiums that don’t exist anymore?The first time in Detroit, our first baseman, Pat Putnam, hit three home runs in one game. The third one, the right fielder would have caught the ball but it hit the upper deck — it hit that thing that protruded out. Yankee Stadium, going out to the monuments and looking at those things was pretty impressive. Candlestick, how cold that place was. The elements were so tough, the wind and the cold.

You have a sense of the history of baseball, and that’s one of those things that connects with fans, the continuity of the game over the years.I think so. Free agency has changed some of that, because players move around so much. The Angels in 2002, fans got really attached to those guys. When Scott Spezio came back, after he’d left the Angels, there was a big ovation for him and what he had done for the Angels. Those things are pretty neat when they happen.

Are you planning to move to Wisconsin?I still live in southern California. I do like the warm weather. When we have off days, I’m looking forward to (being in Wisconsin). I love the outdoors, I love to fish and hunt and I do play golf. All three of those things really fit.

You’ll have to get Uecker to take you out on the lake.Does he fish a lot?

the View from the DugoutRoenicke played for six teams in the majors from 1981-88. That’s a lot of teammates and opponents. Among those he most enjoyed watching:

» Tony Gwynn: “Just watching how much time he put in the batting cage and hitting and studying it.”

» Mike Schmitt: “Very serious, just nobody prepared harder than he did.”

» Fernando Valenzuela: “A fun personality, you know, he just had this great sense of humor.”

the Making of a ManagerRon Roenicke explains how some of his former bosses influenced him:

» Del Crandall, minor leagues, Seattle Mariners: “Del is a very intelligent guy, a very intelligent baseball mind, but he could make things really simple so we were able to execute what it was he was trying to get us to do.”

» Tommy Lasorda, LA Dodgers: “A really fun manager to play for. He could motivate you, you enjoyed playing, you had excitement. I don’t have that same personality, so I have to kind of create what I can with the personality that I have.”

» Mike Scoscia, LA Angels: “Watching him over the years, the way he handled the press, the way he handled players … whether a guy was slumping or when he’s in that great groove.”

Ron Roenicke played in the 1984 WoRld SeRieS and won a championship ring as a coach with the 2002 Los Angeles Angels. Can he bring a title to Milwaukee as the Brewers’ new manager? Before heading to spring training, Roenicke talked with M writer Cathy Breitenbucher.

All Things Mommy

As a full-time, home-schooling mom, Shannon Schultz of Cedarburg knows how to keep her three children — August, 7, Martha, 4, and Hazel, 2 — calm and carrying on. On her Ugga Mugga blog, she shares her family friendly tips on everything from new products to fashion, fascinating field trips and crafts that manage to be cute, but not sappy.

Armed with a degree in organizational communication and public relations, Schultz plunged right into challenging jobs soon after graduating from Mequon’s Concordia University Wisconsin. She worked as marketing manager at the Betty Brinn Children’s Museum and as an event planner at Northwestern Mutual Life and Quarles & Brady. She also organized Firstar Eve and Firstar Fireworks celebrations.

“But I always knew I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom,” she says. So she left the corporate world behind, with faith that new opportunities would present

themselves. She took the same energy that propelled her business career and invested it in researching “every aspect of being a mother,” she says. Soon friends began calling her for advice, and Schultz found herself fielding questions about the safest car seats, best diaper bags and keeping little ones entertained on snow days.

For more information, visit www.UggaMugga.com and www.UggaMuggaEvents.com.

When her husband, Aaron, suggested that she write a blog, Schultz didn’t hesitate. She borrowed one of August’s favorite phrases from “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” and launched Ugga Mugga.

Schultz writes about children’s products she can highly recommend from experience. Although she often receives samples from manufacturers, she says she does not get paid to feature the items and writes only about the products she loves.

It’s no coincidence that her 4-year-old is named Martha. Schultz is a devoted Martha Stewart fan. She has always had Stewart-like tendencies. Her mother recalls Schultz’s kindergarten teacher asking her to name colors. Even at that tender age, Schultz’s answers were “robin’s egg blue” and “moss green.” The crafts featured on Ugga Mugga have that same artistic sensibility, such as charming do-it-yourself snow globes made from plastic cups, white glitter and tiny penguin figurines.

Now, Schultz says, she is combining all of her interests into a new venture, Ugga Mugga Events.

“It’s another way to try to reach more families,” she says. “So now, instead of hiring a magician or clown to come to a birthday party for an hour, they can hire me to come and do a nice craft.”

Families can hire Schultz to plan and stage the entire party, or simply handle one or two aspects of the event, such as creating custom invitations or inventing a one-of-a-kind cake.

The idea came from the “crazy” birthday parties requested by her own kids, like Hazel’s “cow party.” Schultz offered Hazel’s guests an array of flavored milk, and they played “pin the tail on the cow.” At the Schultz’s fortune cookie party, homemade dragons hung from the ceiling and each guest had their personalized fortunes baked into their cookies.

Five years ago, when she decided to stay home to raise her children, Schultz never dreamed that she would be a go-to resource for families.

“I just try to make things easier for parents, especially those who work, so they can enjoy their kids more,” she says.

Using her skills as an event planner and marketing manager, Shannon Schultz launched a blog for parents and a family-oriented event planning business.

Jewelry designer Brenda Schweder recently released her third book, “Steel Wire Jewelry.”

Express Yourself by Laurie arendt | photography by dan Bishop

“Humans have always enjoyed embellish-ing themselves, but I think more and more there’s a movement to express individual-ity and our personalities in our jewelry,” Schweder says.

The Mount Mary College graduate’s jour-ney into the one-of-a-kind jewelry world started after she traded her corporate mar-keting career for motherhood. “It was actu-ally a great segue for me because it gave me the opportunity to try all different forms of art, and I initially thought jewelry was a cop-out,” she laughs. “Jewelry? Everyone does jewelry!”

But she was hooked, and there were a number of things about jewelry making that she enjoyed from the start.

“I think beaders have hoarding tenden-cies, and I also tend to be that way about found objects,” she says. “But I liked the process of connecting with things.”

While she finds something to enjoy in ev-ery piece she’s created, her choice of mate-rials and approach to the craft consistently produce two elements that she enjoys: patina and history to the piece.

“But they also tend to have a bit of whim-sy to them, which appeals to me,” she says. “I like little jokes and quips in my work.”

In addition to creating her own pieces, Schweder is a longtime contributor to Bead-Style Magazine and has just released her third book, “Steel Wire Jewelry.” She also shares her craft through teaching others how to make their own jewelry.

“It’s very different than my first two books,” she says, noting the first two re-volved around repurposing found and vin-tage items. “But it did follow from it. I’ve found that steel wire is a great venue for capturing those found objects without drill-ing them.”

There’s also something about the use of steel wire, a utilitarian medium that can be found in any hardware store, that appeals to her.

“It’s a non-precious material in its value to society,” she explains. “So when you make a piece of jewelry, the value is not in the wire as it would be in silver or gold. It’s in the creation of the jewelry itself.”

There’s always been a segment of people who want to fit in. And then there’s that other group of people, who not only embrace individuality, they thrive on it. That’s an idea that resonates with Waukesha jewelry designer and author Brenda Schweder.

Ultimate OprahYoga instructor Julie Lemerond hung with the

koalas last December, thanks to Oprah Winfrey. Lemerond, a Wauwatosa native, was in the

audience for “The Oprah Winfrey Show” final season premiere last September, when the TV queen announced she was taking the entire audience to Australia.

A longtime Winfrey admirer who now resides in Scottsdale, Ariz., Lemerond completed an application on Oprah’s website to become an ultimate viewer.

“I don’t even remember what I said, but it was about why I love Oprah,” she says. “I also Photoshopped a picture of myself into a picture of Oprah.”

A month later, she received a call from one of the producers. Eventually, she was told she’d be in the audience for the premiere.

Audience members knew nothing of the trip. “It was so exciting,” she says. “People were screaming and yelling. Confetti fell out of the ceiling. We couldn’t believe it.”

Lemerond, her mom and 300 other ultimate viewers visited Australia along with Winfrey Dec. 5 to 15. Once there, the fans were divided into smaller groups, depending on their interests.

“We spent a few days in Sydney, then my group went to Byron Bay, a beautiful beachside town,” she says. “We rejoined everyone for three more days in Sydney, watched a U2 concert and met Olivia Newton-John.”

As an extra thrill, Lemerond was chosen to accompany Oprah on the red carpet for a “Welcome to Sydney” event.

“It was a life-changing experience that took us out of the box of our everyday experiences,” she says. “It was an amazing time.”

Dynamic Diva

There’s something about meeting Cassandra McShepard that makes you feel like you can do it all. Maybe it’s because she has.

When she walks into a room, it fills with optimism, groundedness and a “you-can-do-it, girl” spirit. Today, she looks amazing, wearing a draped black coat that floats as she walks, leaving one to wonder where she got it. (She made it, as she does most of her clothes.) And her sassy crop on top, albeit a wig — she speaks often of her collec-tion — completes her polished persona.

McShepard is one of four morning television personalities who ex-ude boundless energy on the chatty morning show Real Milwaukee on Fox 6. Many are just happy she resurfaced after her six-year stint as an enchanting radio personality with WMCS-AM (1290) ended in 2009.

But what some may not know is that McShepard spent decades sharpening her skills, honing her talents and, as she says, “designing her life.” It’s a befitting analogy for this woman, whose life dream was to become a fashion designer.

“I wanted to design clothes and be famous,” says McShepard, in her hypnotic tone. Her early design laurels include making uniforms for The Pfister Hotel and running a boutique of her own.

But a chance meeting catapulted her career to the next level when she landed an in-person visit with the late R&B singer Phyllis Hy-man. McShepard would go on to dress Hyman for 14 years. She also designed ensembles for Nancy Wilson, the Manhattans, The Whis-perers, Maze and others.

Life with Hyman changed her, and so did Hyman’s suicidal death. It led McShepard to re-examine her life. “By 35, I was fried, burnt out,” she says, somberly. “I was tired of making gowns for divas to make enough money to make gowns for divas.”

Ready to look forward, she moved back to Milwaukee, expect-ing great things, but having no clue where to find them. When a long-lost friend saw her at a wedding and suggested they pitch a program idea to radio station WMCS, McShepard listened. The first attempt failed, but McShepard’s cohort tried again and the two “split one check” as guest hosts of their own show. Eventually, the friend grew weary but McShepard continued, taking on more responsibili-ties and soon becoming host of the afternoon program, “That’s What I’m Talkin’ About.” “If it’s in your mind, it’s yours to do,” McShepard insists.

In between her public successes, McShepard experienced person-al disappointments. In addition to Hyman’s death and a divorce in her early 20s, one of her younger brothers died of cancer, and her parents passed away.

Through it all, she still rises. Her brother’s death at age 38 inspired her to do what she’s always wanted to do – sing – and now she performs a jazzy monologue at various venues. “But I don’t kick my shoes off like Phyllis used to do,” she quips. Forever impacted by her mother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s disease, McShepard now serves as the spokesperson for the Wisconsin Alzheimer’s Institute.

If there was ever anyone who could make lemonade out of lem-ons, it has to be McShepard. Just 15 months after exiting the doors of the radio station, she was contacted by Fox 6 personnel about co-hosting a new local TV show with Katrina Cravy, Rob Haswell and Nicole Koglin.

In her spare time, McShepard is a motivational speaker, personal trainer and video blogger (“This Is What I Know So Far,” http://cassandrasbread.blogspot.com/). She also finds time to play video games, watch a bit of reality TV (“The Real Housewives of Atlanta”) and build furniture (“I love the smell of sawdust!”)

“My entire life doesn’t make any sense,” she insists, gesturing with her hands. “But it’s my reality. I don’t ask how. I just focus on doing the thing.”

Truth Meets FictionWhen Rob Grede stumbled upon historic family

heirlooms while helping his parents pack up the family homestead in the late 1990s, he knew instantly there was a story waiting to be told.

“My father’s account of the spur and sash held our rapt attention,” says Grede, who spent the next 11 years meticulously researching and writing the Civil War-era novel.

The artifacts, which date back to the 1860s, belonged to Grede’s great-great-grandfather, George Van Norman, a prominent Milwaukee businessman who helped found the city of South Milwaukee. In 1865, though, Van Norman was a young Union soldier who was wounded in battle and sent to Tennessee to convalesce.

While Grede has authored best-selling nonfiction marketing books, “The Spur & The Sash” is his first fictional effort. Despite the Civil War backdrop, Grede likened the story to a classic Romeo and Juliet tale. “It’s really a timeless love story,”

explains Grede, who wasn’t particularly interested in historical fiction before penning “The Spur & The Sash.”

Although he grew up in Elm Grove hearing stories about his great-great-grandfather, researching the novel allowed Grede to become intimately acquainted with his famous ancestor. “I gained real insight into his personality,” Grede says.

Grede’s promotional book tour includes several Wisconsin appearances in April. For a complete schedule, visit thespurandthesash.com.

Grace’s Gospel

Grace Weber’s voice is like the “Sparrows” she sings about on the title cut of her most recent EP: feathery soft, lilting and full of soul.

Yet it may have never been realized had she not joined the Inner City Youth Gospel Choir in Milwaukee when she was 12. The Wauwatosa native and 2006 Pius XI High School grad says ever since she could remember, she’s wanted to sing, and she did – in the family basement, kitchen and car. In fact, she was particularly drawn to the voices of Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Eva Cassidy and India.Arie.

But it was her time with the Milwaukee-based gospel chorus that sharpened her chops and deepened her appreciation for soulful music. “It was a huge dream of mine to join a gospel choir. Growing up in Wauwatosa, I didn’t know if choirs like the ones in the ‘Sister Act’ movies were in Milwaukee.

“Then one day on a retreat in sixth grade, my teacher announced that our special guest would be this choir. They entered the room and sang. I knew that this was what I wanted to be a part of,” Weber says during a phone interview from New York City. “I went up to the choir director and said, ‘Could I sing for you guys?’ Then I sang ‘Amazing Grace’ in the most soulful voice that I could drum up. It took two months to convince my mother to drive me to the rehearsals in the city, but I told her this was something I had to do.”

Four years of soulful tutelage took Weber to churches and revivals about the city and helped produce the mature sound that won her honors. By age 16 she performed on

Wauwatosa native Grace Weber has shared her talents on “Showtime at the

Apollo,” “The Today Show,” and “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” as well as at the

Kennedy Center and the Ella Awards.

BY LISA JONES TOWNSEL

“Showtime at the Apollo” at Harlem’s Apollo Theater. At 18, she sang at the Kennedy Cen-ter and was named a Presidential Scholar by the National Foundation for the Advance-ment in the Arts. At 20, she was touring and recording as part of the Grace Weber Band. At 21, in November 2009, she appeared on Oprah Winfrey’s Karaoke Challenge, where Winfrey handpicked Weber from among thousands to appear on the show. And last year, at 22, Weber graduated from New York University (bachelor’s degree in music per-formance and music marketing), became a Billboard “Spotlight Artist to Watch,” and worked on her debut solo album (due for release in June) with Grammy Award-win-ning producer Mike Mangini.

Although most of her time is now spent in the Big Apple, Weber is always happy to return home. “I miss my family a lot. I have three siblings. My mom and dad are there … And my sister just had a baby,” says Weber, who now has a manager, a website and a calendar full of gigs. “I love New York, but I feel lucky to get to go home to Milwaukee, to calm down a bit.”

Conquering Colitis

For Megan Starshak of Milwaukee, the symptoms of ulcerative colitis began when she was a junior in high school. The disease, an inflammation of the colon, often causes frequent and urgent trips to the bathroom and severe abdominal pain. “At first, I thought maybe I had a virus,” says Starshak, 26. “I was doing high school track at the time and thought I was overworking.”

But Starshak’s pain and cramping got worse over time, and her body was becoming unable to absorb nutrients and water. Family and friends were concerned, and she often had to assure friends that she was not anorexic or bulimic. She went to several doctors, but did not get a definitive diagnosis of ulcerative colitis until the summer after she graduated from high school and was looking forward to her freshman year in college.

“It’s a huge transitional time,” Starshak says, and not only was she away from her parents and making her own decisions, she was also trying to define her own identity. She was meeting new people and trying to get involved in sports. Starshak realized that everything she did was going to be affected by her condition. She wasn’t sure how much to tell people about her symptoms and knew that some just would not understand.

“It makes you grow up a little bit faster,” she says. “In college, you have all the freedom in the world and none of the responsibility. If I go out for a night of drinking, I could be sick for a month.”

After being stricken with ulcerative colitis

when she was in high school, Megan Starshak is now an

advocate for the Crohn’s and Colitis

Foundation.The course of treatment called for

Starshak to take 12 anti-inflammatory pills per day, including a steroid, which tamed the symptoms, but did not completely stop them.

When a new intravenous therapy called Remicade became available, Starshak decided to give it a try. Remicade works with the immune system to combat the disease. Starshak says she noticed a difference three days after her first treatment. “After six years of being sick and dealing with symptoms, and being mentally exhausted, it was like waking up a new person,” she says.

Every eight weeks, Starshak spends three hours at Froedtert Hospital undergoing Remicade therapy. She says she looks forward to that time, and uses it to relax and recharge.

She recently completed her MBA at UW-Milwaukee and landed a position in marketing for a local manufacturer. She is an avid cyclist and would eventually like to race competitively. Every year, Starshak cycles in a charity ride for the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation, and her mother volunteers on the sidelines.

“Basically, I’ve been in remission for two years. I can eat salad, drink Pepsi and run again without issues,” she says.

Starshak says Voices of UC, an educational and awareness program, has helped her understand ulcerative colitis by providing information and resources for patients and their families.

“Their website is a really great place if you’re newly diagnosed and kind of just learning,” she says. “You’re arming yourself with information.”

She was one of 1,000 people with ulcerative colitis who participated in a recent survey sponsored by Voices of UC. The survey was intended to identify gaps in the way patients and physicians discuss treatment, and it also gave patients an opportunity to share their insights about dealing with the disease.

Starshak says an important way to cope with ulcerative colitis, which has no cure as of yet, is to talk with others who are experiencing the same issues. “I think it’s important also to remember that even though it’s a terrible disease with awful side effects, sometimes it changes you for the better,” she says. “Through colitis I’ve also realized that I’m so strong and I can handle more things than I’ve ever imagined.”

Health » Living with Cancer

A three-sport athlete in high school, Kevin Crowley, 25, was eager to stay active during cancer treatments that lasted nearly all of 2010.

Thanks to physical therapy and miles of indoor cycling workouts on a trainer, Crowley is back at work and wrapping up graduate school at UW-Milwaukee. He’s also hoping

to hit the roads and resume a 50-miles-per-week biking regimen.Crowley was diagnosed with sarcoma, a cancer of the cells that form muscle and connective

tissue, in his left leg. He underwent chemotherapy, surgery to replace his femur and hip, more chemo and then radiation.

“By being active during chemo, the fatigue wasn’t so bad,” says Crowley, an accounting student who lives in Brookfield. “The last few rounds of chemo, when I could get on the bike again, it defi-nitely, definitely helped.”

Fatigue FighterBY CATHY BREITENBUCHER I PHOTOGRAPHY BY DAN BISHOP

Cancer patients encouraged to exercise

in order to maintain muscle mass, stamina

Kevin Crowley combated fatigue from cancer

treatment by continuing to ride his bike.

Here are some exercise programs geared to cancer patients. Some have specific start dates, while others are ongoing. Be sure to ask if a referral from your physician or physical therapist is needed.

• YOGA, 4-5 p.m., Thursdays, Waukesha Memorial Hospital Professional Office Building, Suite 305, 725 American Ave., Waukesha. Free. Call Collette LaFrancis, (262) 928-7221.

• LOOK GOOD FEEL BETTER, 1-3 p.m., April 18, Oconomowoc Memorial Hospital; May 16, PHCMA Menomonee Falls; and June 20, Waukesha Memorial Hospital. These single-session classes are designed to help women who are undergoing cancer treat-ment develop skills to improve their appear-ance and self-image. Free (registration required). Call American Cancer Society, (800) 227-2345.

Experts say therapy and exercise can restore range of motion and build muscle mass — important components of both daily activities and fitness.

According to Crowley’s physical therapist, Chris Walczak of Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center, aerobic exercise is documented to reduce cancer-related fatigue.

Besides, she adds, “It gives them some con-trol over their disease. They’re actively doing something to make themselves feel better.”

Fitness organizations and health clubs are offering specialized workouts, too. The YMCA and the Lance Armstrong Foundation co-sponsor “LiveStrong at the Y,” a 12-week program held locally at the Tri-County branch in Menomonee Falls and the Feith Ozaukee branch in Port Washington.

The focus is on small classes and individu-alized plans for patients, some of whom may still be involved in their hospital-based PT. Workouts can include zumba, pilates, yoga, weights or cardiovascular training.

“People get familiar with the machines and how to do different routines,” explains Stephanie Navarro, area director of healthy lifestyles for the YMCA of Metro Milwaukee. “If they haven’t been exercisers, it’s getting them to make it part of their lifestyle routine.”

As for Crowley, he sees cycling, swimming and softball in his future, and he encourages other cancer patients to pursue exercise.

“Try to be as active as possible,” he says. “Sitting around isn’t the best way to pass the time — it can just drag on.”

Myth BustersTreating cancer is far different from a generation ago. To separate fact from fiction, M writer Cathy Breitenbucher turned to two local experts — Dr. Peter H. Johnson, medical oncologist and medical direc-tor at ProHealth Care Regional Cancer Center; and Dr. Craig Schulz, radiation oncologist and medical director of oncology services at Columbia St. Mary’s Cancer Center.

BY CATHY BREITENBUCHER

M: Is high-dose chemotherapy the best treatment?

Johnson: It depends on the specific type of cancer, even the specific sub-type of cancer, and the patient’s other medical conditions. Post-operative therapy for Stage 3 colon cancer or Stage 2 or Stage 3 breast cancer may often involve taking pills or undergoing intravenous therapy. By most traditional definitions, this would not be considered quote-unquote high-dose therapy.

Schulz: There is certainly data that would support what we call dose-dense (treatment) — meaning (chemo) doses given rapidly, together or close together. They have a survival benefit in patients with breast cancer. There are also high-dose treatments with chemotherapy for lymphomas, leukemias and myelomas (for patients) in preparation for transplants.

M: Does a standard protocol based on chemo and radiation show better results than 30 or 40 years ago?

Johnson: Yes. The systemic therapy is not all chemo these days. Some of it is classic cytotoxic chemo that we may have been using for the last 30 years or more; some of those drugs are still quite useful. And yet, the broader term of system therapy encompasses not just those agents but other drugs (such as) oral therapy that may have few if any side effects.

Schulz: Radiation is very different than 30 to 40 years ago, at least in terms of how we deliver it — how we can better analyze how the radiation dose is distributed to the tumor target area. Clearly, by having better drugs and better ability to deliver targeted therapy with radiation, in many cancers results have been very favorable.

M: Is there an accepted number of years for a patient in remission to be considered safe from recurrence?

Johnson: As long as you are living, your odds of a recurrence never go to zero but they approach that line over time.

Schulz: That “c” word — cured — always is a hard one to cough up. We tell our head and neck cancer patients, if they make it beyond that two years after the completion of therapy, they have a very good chance of being long-term survivors. Breast cancer, five years; prostate, seven to 10; and lung cancer, after three years they certainly may be long-term survivors.

M: Are alternative treatments found outside the United States a realistic option to help a patient go into remission?

Johnson: The term ‘alternative therapy’ has a lot of meanings. It may mean something like herbal therapy taken orally, acupuncture or reiki. Being a U.S.-trained oncologist, we tend to employ medications and techniques we are familiar and comfortable with, and which have undergone pretty intense scrutiny by the FDA and other organizations.

Schulz: Certainly, there are some alternative treatments that are offered elsewhere or are in an experimental form right now, that are reasonable. There are some chemotherapy drugs that are approved for some disease sites overseas and are not approved here. It is a realistic option in some circumstances.

M: Any other myths about cancer treatment out there?

Johnson: We do bump up frequently into perceptions that the chemotherapy today is no bet-ter than or different than what was given 30 or 40 years ago where patients, as a matter of routine, were violently ill with nausea and vomiting, had profound weight loss, fatigue, hair loss, etc., and many of those instances required extensive and intensive hospitalizations for weeks on end. Fortunately, nowadays that’s the rare exception and not the rule.

There is also the notion that cancer is driven by sugar, and if you can just cut out all the sugar in your diet you’ll cure your cancer. Unfortunately, that’s not true. It would be great if it were.

Schulz: The same goes with the bad effects of radiation. We have ways of pinpointing radia-tion beams or sculpting radiation treatments very precisely to treat what we want to treat and minimize the doses to the surrounding tissue, therefore keeping side effects very manageable.The other big myth is that cancer patients are contagious. I hear it all the time. M

HighStyleBY JOANN PETASCHNICK I PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUG EDMUNDS

What makes a home worth $1 million or more in metro Milwaukee? “Location has everything to do with it,” says Shorewest Realtor Essam Elsafy. “A great view is important, which can be a lake view or the view from a high-rise pent-house in a luxury condominium development. The size of the lot or a large amount of lake frontage also adds value,” he says. “Of course, great design and amenities are important as well.”

Currently, the Milwaukee-area market has a good supply of outstanding luxury homes in the $1 million-plus price range and each has something unique and beautiful to offer. This is just a sampling.

SPECIALTY: Northshore residential. YEARS IN REAL ESTATE: 15 BACKGROUND: Kathleen holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and studied interior design/textile design at Savannah College of Art and Design. After moving back to the Milwaukee area, Kathleen managed a home décor boutique and was employed in the field of gallery art sales. After becoming a real estate agent in 1996, Kathleen quickly became one of the Northshore’s top agents. THE APPROACH: My goal is for every buyer and seller to feel that all details have been taken care of from start to finish. I provide solid strategies for marketing and negoti-ating. I ask my sellers to put themselves into the mindset of the buyers that they are selling to. When we are looking at things together from several different per-spectives a favorable outcome is almost always possible. My background in interior design allows me to make sure that every home is “show perfect” before it hits the market. If you want to compete in the market today this is critical. Open com-munication is a must and I think that lis-tening to a client’s wants and needs is essential. WHAT CLIENTS SAY: “Kathleen breezed into my house like a breath of fresh air. She was excited and enthusiastic with lots of ideas for the sale of my home. Her attention to detail in pre-senting my house was incredible. I would recommend her unreservedly. She is great!” “Kathleen was phenomenal! She quickly got a feel for what we did and didn’t like in a house and didn’t waste our time showing a property that didn’t fit our criteria. We will work with Kathleen again in the future.” CONTACT INFORMATION: (414) 350-5038 cell/text or [email protected].

Downtown conDo exuDes glamour anD elegance

Two walls of windows bathe the 27th floor condo at Kilbourn Tower in light during the day.

April 2011 | M 75

The condo on the 27th floor of Kilbourn Tower is a pleasing jux-taposition in the way the interior architecture and design create a

venue to take in the dramatic views of the Milwaukee skyline.

“When the lights come on in the evening and the sky goes dark, the skyline comes to life. You feel like you are in New York, Chicago or even Paris,” says interior designer Jessica Jubelirer. “It transports you to a glamorous place that has a real sense of urban glamour that is unexpected in Milwaukee.”

Nearly all of the main living spaces in the double-unit condo feature scenes of the city, from the landmark Wisconsin Gas Co. build-ing to the unparalleled Calatrava to the ever-changing hues of Lake Michigan. “I think when you walk in here and look at the city you see another layer that contributed to the design of the condo,” the homeowner says.

When one pulls away from the mesmer-izing landscape and turns one’s attention inside, the elegance and sophistication of the interior come into view. “It contains so many unique and one-of-a-kind pieces that contrib-ute to a really special quality in that you can walk through the home and stop and appreci-ate each piece for what it is really is,” Jubelirer says. A less is more philosophy shows itself throughout in an understated elegance and unexpected compositions. Luxurious fab-rics of silk, mohair, velvet and satin, and the smoothness, sparkle and shine from accent pieces create a glamorous sensibility. Many of the furnishings are from the Merchandise Mart in Chicago; other pieces are finds on antiqu-ing trips to New York City. The chandeliers are works of art in themselves. “We didn’t have a chandelier obsession until we did this place,” the homeowner laughs.

“Although the home is really glamorous, it’s a casual type of glamour,” Jubelirer says. “It’s not overly formal. It’s inviting comfortable and easy to live in. There isn’t any room you don’t feel you can go into and enjoy.”

That’s due, in part, to the varying ceiling heights and other architectural concepts that prevent the space from becoming overwhelm-ing. “While there is a very open flow to the space, each space is really defined and really unique,” Jubelirer says. “In each space there are one or two really focal elements, and the other elements within the space complement the bigger statement,” she says.

The homeowner says working on the condo was a journey in self-revelation for the couple. “We refined our taste level and we started understanding what we really liked,” she says. The result is a home that reflects their timeless sense of style, and yet is warm and welcoming for friends and family.

The cerused oak bar evokes a bygone era of glamour and craftsmanship.

76 M | April 2011

The family room sectional in mohair and satin is posi-tioned to take in the views of the Calatrava and Lake Michigan from nearly 30 stories above. “The view was consideration at every point,” the homeowner says.

April 2011 | M 77

The show-stopping powder room, conceived by the late Jon Schlagenhaft, is clad in three walls

of antique mirrors. “The room feels like it goes on for an eternity,” says designer Jessica Jubelirer.

The vanity wall is stone and the chandelier is hand-carved wood clad in silver leaf.

78 M | April 2011

The Hudson chandelier over the kitchen island is comprised of thousands of strands of nickel chains. “It feels like a couture piece of clothing with all the draping and movement,” says designer Jessica Jubelirer.

April 2011 | M 79

Cream colors create an elegant palette in one of two guest bath-rooms in the condo. A plush Flokati rug softens the room’s hard surfaces. “There was a real awareness of cre-ating intimate spaces within an open space,” Jubelirer says.

The curves of the bed and the sheen of the fabrics are subtle details that provide a softness to the space. m

selecting an interior designer can feel intimidating, but it doesn’t have to according to the experts. photo was taken at the Thomasville showroom, Brookfield.

If you’ve ever considered working with an interior designer but weren’t quite sure how the process goes, look no further. Here, two “in-the-know” designers talk about the pros of working with an expert.

“A designer will help you establish a direction toward achiev-ing your goals,” notes John Edbauer, ASID, an interior designer at McNabb & Risley in Thiensville. Before starting a project, there are several questions he asks clients.

➊ What do you currently have in the room?

➋ What do you like and not like about the room and its existing furnishings?

➌ How does the room currently function and how do you ultimately need it to function?

Using the answers as starting points, Edbauer then forms a plan. He can do anything from adding a new piece, like a sofa, and integrating it with the rest of your existing furnishings, to simply accessorizing what you already have, to completely redoing the room with new paint, window treatments, furniture and accessories.

Working with an interior designer will help solve your design problems. For example, Edbauer says the recent proliferation of new technologies and electronics such as flat screen TVs have presented new challenges in the design world. “They might completely change the way a room needs to be laid out. The bottom line is we will do whatever necessary to help you meet your design needs. We are on your side. Our goal is to make you fall in love with your room all over again.”

Mara Wierschke, an interior designer at Thomasville in Brookfield, feels effective communication skills are critical when selecting an interior designer. The design process is a team effort between design-er and client. “You need to have a ‘vibe.’ You should have a good vocabulary with that person. Putting words and pictures together is essential. If you can’t do that with a prospective designer, that might be a red flag.”

Wierschke feels seeing a designer’s work is invaluable. Additionally, you should lay the groundwork for the successful com-pletion of a project by establishing parameters.

➊ Ask to see a portfolio. Tour prospective designers’ work in showhouses and showrooms, too.

➋ Establish a time frame.

➌ Be sure to have a budget.

“Designers should be able to communicate around these settings,” says Wierschke. “There are different pricing options for professional interior design services so pick the one that works best for you.” As Wierschke observes, “Using a designer prevents mistakes. Whatever the upfront investment, it’s well worth it in the long term.”

Wierschke sums up the partnership between interior designer and client: “Ultimately, my job is to listen. Then I try to take my clients somewhere they might not go on their own. When a client tells me they love the final result, then I know we have worked well together.” M

Set for an early dinner, a striking fl oral centerpiece and bold blue glassware pop off the red-checked tablecloth. Tiz Meyer painted the red chairs, which are usually housed in the barn and used for indoor functions. “It’s wonderful to have dinner outside. It creates an ambiance that’s different than eating in the dining room. It’s casual, yet elegant. The gardens, sculptures and landscape are natural conversation starters,” she notes. In the distance, tamarack log fencing straddles the large stones, as had been constructed by the fi rst set-tlers of the farm.

ny excuse for a party. If there’s a celebration or a reason to

get together, Tizza and Glenn Meyer love to host. For the past 16 years, Stone Fences Farm, their 160-acre compound

outside of Dousman has seen just about everything. Local charity luncheons, family get-togethers by the lake, a garden wedding and even dinner parties in the field or an afternoon glass of tea with a friend. Next up? A birthday party for a tree.

Lovingly restored by the Meyers through the years, the property is home to a combination of nature’s beauty and Tiz Meyer’s iron creations. Surrounded by 4.5 miles of stone fences, the original Welsh set-tlers moved these giant, glacier-driven stones, to the land in the late 19th century. “I marvel at how they moved them,” Tiz Meyer remarks. The couple have taken great care to respect the vision and incred-ible hard work of the original owners. The founders raised sheep and grew hops to sell to local breweries. Tamarack logs were used to grow the hops, so in sev-eral places around the property, Meyer has construct-ed tamarack racks as a tribute. They also have sheep.

After completing welding classes, Meyer, a former art and antiques dealer, used her endless creative energy to construct a number of iron sculptures and

Although most of the original buildings on the property were saved, the largest barn was too far gone and had to be razed. Left behind was the original stone wall. “I knew it was the perfect spot for a sunken garden. This place has extra special meaning to me. I have plants from my mother and grandmother and my daughter was mar-ried here.” The iron fence surrounding the top of the wall was Meyer’s first welding project. “I love putting together fantasy pieces. Folk art characters, musical instruments, games like tic-tac-toe, a bike, trac-tor seats and even old tools and other implements brought to me by local farmers are incorporated into this crazy fence. There is even an iron man with no face, so kids can put their heads into it.”

April 2011 | M 85

ABOVE Tiz Meyer grew up on the Mississippi River and has special memories of watching eagles soar-ing over her and her brothers lying on their backs along the river banks. Inspired by that vision, she constructed the iron mother and baby. The heads are painted and two glass street lamp covers are incorporated into the body of the baby. Metal scraps form their nest. “The baby is looking up at its mother as if to say what kids always say to their mothers: ‘It’s a good time to eat’!” she laughs.

TOP While Meyer does not usually paint her iron, she says her storybook characters should be bright and colorful. “There is lots of detail in these pieces too. It’s all in keeping with happy childhood remembrances.”

fantasy pieces that are strategically placed around the property. There is a story behind every one. Many are inspired by her love of children and all-things family, others by her awe of the land and nature that surrounds her.

Now back to that party for the tree. “We have the champion bur oak in the state,” Meyer says. “It is 23 feet around its base. Several years ago it was determined that the tree was an acorn in 1711 so this summer we will be having a 300-year birthday party to celebrate. Mother Nature surprises us every day. I feel so lucky to be a part of this place.”

86 M | April 2011

Now stocked with blue gill and large-mouth bass, Tiz and Glenn Meyer dug the six-acre lake several years after purchasing the property and asked their grandchildren to name it. They were thrilled when the kids came up with Lake No Na Pa, which are nicknames for their grandparents. Being Native American history buffs, the Meyers also like its Native American sound. The colorful umbrellas and gazebo make it a great family gathering spot for swimming and fishing.

Family’s custom-built home brings together nature and style

he dramatic trusses that bridge the ceil-ing of the Mequon home of Rich Taylor and Kim Temkin-Taylor not only make the room a “wow” space, but frame the

equally dramatic views of the wetlands that lie just beyond their property. “The seasons change all around us and we are right there,” Taylor says.

For Taylor, a photographer, and Temkin-Taylor, an interior designer, visual appeal is an important aspect of the home’s design. For him, it’s reducing visual clutter; for her, creating visual drama with a well-designed lighting plan. For both, it’s enjoying the outdoor views.

Low-voltage lighting connected to dimmers and installed on the trusses allows for many dif-ferent effects in the great room throughout the day. “The lighting is huge throughout the house but in this room in particular, lighting is key,” she says.

ABOVE A glass chest the homeowner and her daugh-ter found in Florida is framed by a family-themed painting by a Sodona, Calif., artist.

LEFT Homeowner and interior designer Kim Temkin-Taylor says the word “architectural” comes to mind to describe the living/dining room. “It’s connected to the adjacent spaces but still has its own identity.” The trusses are made of a wood composite material with a walnut veneer and faux parchment finish to give them a rough timber feel. The wood floor is laid in a chevron pattern to lead the eye to the outdoor views.

A lighted coved ceiling adds both drama and warmth to the master bedroom. Temkin-Taylor says her goal was to create a peaceful, serene, comfortable escape. A gas fireplace opposite the bed adds another layer of comfort to the intimate setting. The bed, with its fabric-covered headboard, presents a contemporary feel. It’s covered with a faux fur throw and Thomaspaul pillows.

92 M | April 2011

A three-year design process allowed the couple to make numerous custom accommodations. “It took a lot of planning,” Temkin-Taylor says. “There were certain points where we just stopped and reworked things.”

Temkin-Taylor says she first envisioned the design as con-temporary. “I really wanted clean lines, no crown moldings or embellishments,” she says. “But a lot of our furnishings area really quite eclectic. That sort of creates an artistry in the house when there is that mix. It creates a space that’s more interesting if you have different elements, as long as they work together,” she says.

She took an inventory of the family’s existing furnishings, reusing some pieces, such as the dining table, and selling others that didn’t work in the new home, such as the dining table chairs. “I don’t like things to be too matchy-matchy,” she says. “I scout out different things and put them together because that makes it more interesting.

“This house is also a real mix of high and low price points, and I think that’s fine to do,” she says. “I think there is good design at every level.”

A BainUltra freestanding air tub is a focal point in the master bathroom, set off by the long, narrow design and mini cathedral ceiling. Temkin-Taylor uses lighting, warm and cool tones and a mix of materials — limestone countertops, wood cabinetry, porcelain floor tile — to create a soothing escape.

Modern LoveCONTEMPORARY SETTING SHOWCASES OWNER’S ART COLLECTION

BY JANET RAASCH | PHOTOGRAPHY BY DOUG EDMUNDS

The Janis Joplin canvas in Jerry Janis’ home offi ce came to be following a fundraiser in which Janis was outbid for a painting of Willie Nelson by the same artist, who agreed to create this one for Janis. Every piece of art in Janis’ collection has a story to tell.

April 2011 | M 97

TOP LEFT The entryway to Janis’ condo features his extensive art collection.

Modern furnishings and a mix of modern, traditional and ethnic artwork come together in the Third Ward condo that overlooks the Milwaukee River.

hough he might not have realized it then, Jerry Janis began collecting art as a child on the day his great-grandfa-ther gave him one of his paintings. His great-grandfather, a Latvian diplomat

who lost everything in World War II, later moved to New York and became an insurance agent. “His third career was an artist,” Janis says.

Like his great-grandfather’s paintings, each piece in Janis’ ever-growing collection has a story associated with it. “A lot of it comes from travel-ing in Mexico, Brazil and South Africa, but also from artists I’ve known through my lifetime,” Janis says, noting he has met most of the artists whose works he has collected.

After living in New York City, Washington, D.C., south Florida and Chicago, the Long Island native has been in Milwaukee for two-plus years, acquiring quite a few local works in that time.

He has six pieces by the Russian-born Boris Ostrerov, a MIAD grad now studying in New York City, and recently purchased a Charles Dwyer painting during MIAD’s Open Canvas event.

His Third Ward loft in the River Renaissance Condos was designed — down to the wall col-ors — to showcase his art. He collaborated with Laree Allen of Allen Kitchen and Bath, Milwaukee and Madison, in designing the raw space. “I had the vision and they made it come to reality,” Janis says. “I definitely knew I wanted it to be as mod-ern as possible.”

He shed his formerly eclectic furniture style in 2007 while living in Chicago in favor of all mod-ern furnishings. “A lesson I learned is just go with what you want and don’t be constrained with the architecture,” Janis says. “They say the same thing with artwork: You can make older pieces look great in a modern building.”

He’s quickly running out space; some of the pieces are now in storage. “I’ve moved to sculp-ture because I have no more wall space,” Janis says. m

When BelAir Cantina opened last fall with little fan-fare, it didn’t take long before word spread about this California-style Mexican bistro to fill it with hungry cus-tomers seven days a week. BelAir replaced the popular Good Life on the northwest corner of Humboldt and Water. It’s part of a group of restaurants owned by Leslie Montomuro and Scott Johnson that includes the popular HoneyPie, Balzac and Comet Café. All the Montomuro/Johnson restaurants share a common goal: really good food at reasonable prices.

BelAir could be a poster child for food frugalistas. It often offers taco/tostado specials. On a recent visit, $2 bought a choice of Carne Asada, shirt steak, onion and cilantro; Carnitas with pico de gallo; Pollo Verde, shred-ded chicken; and Rajas, a classic mix of grilled chilies and onions with beans and cheese. Add to that delicious chips and three kinds of salsa, and a person could enjoy a satisfying lunch and still get change from a $5 bill.

The most popular menu choices are tacos and tosta-dos in corn or flour tortillas. Order three and you also get complementary rice and beans. Personal favorites include Korean Beef Tacos, spicy sweet marinated beef with the unique flavor of sriracha crema; Zihuatanejo Shrimp with chipotle mayo; and Tilapia Baja, San Di-ego-style fish taco. The burritos can be ordered as a wrap, or as I did, in a bowl. Carne Asada, tender, full of rich beef flavor, topped a mountain of rice and Drunken Pinto Beans that hid a salad, mixed greens, onion, salsa roja and cilantro.

A few starters include guacamole and chips for avo-cado lovers and Mexican Roasted Corn for people who love street food south of the border. From the bar, BelAir serves more than 50 kinds of tequila, many house-made margaritas, red or white sangria and Mexican beer.

Brunch on weekends, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., stars Mexican Toast, cinnamon French Toast served with plaintains and my favorite, Chilaquiles, scrambled eggs, tortilla chips, beans, rice, cheese, cilantro, and salsa roja. Soon the patio overlooking the Milwaukee River will be open, and, when it does, I’ll be there.

California may have had Peggy Magister early on in her career, but we can thank Wisconsin for bringing this native chef home.

Magister, co-owner of Crazy Water, kept her Midwestern practicality intact through her education at the California Culinary Academy and her stint at Wolfgang Puck’s Postrio in San Francisco. “I knew it was very expensive to live out there and I also realized that to get anywhere in the culinary world out there is very difficult, so I came home,” she says. “Plus I missed my family.”

That move home was followed by the opening of The Fork in Cedarburg and then Crazy Water in Walker’s Point a decade ago. But neither meant that Magister completely turned her back on the West Coast.

“There are things that I really loved about it: The freshness of the food, the quality of the produce, the love of comfort food and the fun of getting a little more creative,” she says. “I brought that all back with me. Even now, when I do want to change things and get new ideas, I take a trip back to Napa.”

Having recently returned from her latest trip, she’s recharging the Crazy Water menu for spring, but she knows that a light hand is important. “Oh, people don’t like it when you change the entrées,” she laughs. “I’m the same way, though. You find that certain thing on the menu that you just love and you want to have it every time.”

Life’s been good, both for Crazy Water and for Magister, who earned her first nomination as Best Midwest Chef from the James Beard Foundation last year. The restaurant expanded to include a covered outdoor patio last year, and its cuisine continues to evolve with the sophistication of its customers. That’s something Magister enjoys. “The dining public is much tougher than it used to be,” she says. “You cannot miss a beat. They’re definitely more knowledgeable than they used to be, but our customers are also very loyal and adventurous, which is wonderful.”

And from her little galley kitchen in the former 19th century feed store, Magister continues to impress.

There’s always Chuck E. Cheese for 6-year-olds in need of sensory overload, but what’s an adult to do when the urge is overpower-ing for cavorting, playing games and some-thing more substantial than cheese poppers? Fear not, spring is here, with grown-up eat-and-play options galore. Volleyball awaits. As does bingo, indoor golf, fine wine, crab cakes and pork sliders.

crab cakes with a truffle cream sauce and slow roasted prime rib on Saturday and Sunday. Go for the side of spinach salad for ensuring power smashes on the volleyball courts.

SPiN Milwaukee 233 E. Chicago St., Milwaukee | (414) 831-7746 You only go around once in life, so you may as well do it all at SPiN, a 16,500-square-foot table-tennis social club with maestro-like table-tennis courts on cushioned Olympic-competi-tion flooring, plus a stadium-like center court. SPiN Milwaukee houses a pro shop, restaurant, bar, lounge and two private event rooms for planning strategies. For a power meal, munch on the duck confit augmented by baby spinach with red onions, hard boiled eggs and hot baked dressing; or a BLT with delightful Italian bacon. Appetizers are big here, especially the pecan-encrusted chicken fingers. So eat up and watch, or eat, play, love. Table reservations are suggested on weekends, with paddles and balls with a rental. Ball boys and girls do the picking. Tournament play attracts stellar com-petitors from around southeastern Wisconsin and even Chicago. Stay alert, maybe SPiN co-owner/film star Susan Sarandon will drop in for a round.

Potawatomi Bingo Casino 1721 W. Canal St., Milwaukee | (800) 729-7244 “Pot” is far cry from your grandma’s bingo hall, providing live entertainment in a 500-seat the-ater, along with the 3,100 slot machines, more than 100 table games and specialty restau-rants. As they like to say here when it comes to food, “It’s not you vs. the house; it’s you vs. the kitchen,” with the casino’s several restau-rants serving steak, roast turkey, smoked beef brisket, pizzas, rotisserie chicken, BBQ pork ribs, fried shrimp, grilled steak tacos and stir fried cashew chicken. Get up and close to the poker and slots. Who knows, there could be a sighting of the Herman’s Hermits and Peter Noone or one of the other stars appearing in the concert hall.

The Tracks Tavern & Grille 1020 E. Locust St., Milwaukee | (414) 562-2020 Regularly winning Riverwest’s best bar award, The Tracks has three outdoor sand volleyball courts where 140 coed teams play weekly during the season. Teams are for beginner, intermediate and advanced. Diners won’t get railroaded on the food, either. The Tracks is renowned for its neighborly Friday fish fry, plattered either with cod, perch or shrimp. The Wednesday fish fry has beer-battered, locally caught bluegills, as well. There’s also a Taco Tuesday, perfect for a pleasant spring evening of people-watching on the outdoor patio. Thursday is BBQ rib night with cheesy potatoes and green beans for dining between pinball and arcade game battles. Sliders are big draws on Saturday and Sundays, along with daily homemade soup, salads and yummy wraps.

Dave & Buster’s 2201 N. Mayfair Road, Wauwatosa (414) 454-0100 Whether during happy hour or not, seek out D&B’s Million Dollar Midway with its plethora of interactive simulators and video games. Pick up a cue for billiards with one’s cutie, shuffle off to shuffleboard or shoot some hoops. This double-energized entertainment locale offers a popular Eat & Play Combo, along with such eatery winners as the Double Stacked Chicken Parm Sandwich made up of two sautéed herb breaded chicken breasts topped with melted provolone. That, along with strip steaks, sir-loins and mango shrimp skewers, is merely to build strength for an arcade marathon.

The Horny Goat Hideaway 2011 S. 1st St., Milwaukee | (414) 482-4628 Pool tables, dart boards, various game ma-chines, a 50-seat industrial outdoor bar facility, flat screen high-def TVs, 68 umbrella-ed patio tables and seating for 250 around the three fire pits are only the start. There’s a boardwalk for evening strolls along the river, plus boat slips and docking capabilities, four sand volleyball courts, pub trivia, live music, brewery tours. And plenty of beer. The food selections range from a monster hummus platter to pub burg-ers. Go for dynamite cheese dog with Horny Goat chili or try the Red Vixen BBQ pizza. A sampler paddle with six of the brewery’s beers attracts not only the Three Billy Goats Gruff but also all their troll pals.

Libby Montana Bar and Grill 5616 W. Donges Bay Road, Mequon (262) 242-2232 Libby’s excellent indoor sport facilities are packaged within the 3,000-square-foot-plus Volleydome where manicured sand has prob-ably never seen a camel footprint. There are three volleyball courts for coed, early-bird and four-man matches; plus an outdoor bar and picnic area for fine weather fun. Teams play during the week but open volleyball is usually available on weekends. Sandwiches, salads, wraps, portobello mushroom ravioli, second-day soup, half-pound baked potatoes, a wild rice blend and entrées like meat loaf and cornmeal-crusted walleye lift the menu out of the mundane.

Olympia Resort 1350 Royale Mile Road, Oconomowoc (262) 369-4999 Open to the public, Olympia now offers full swing indoor golf where visitors can play dozens of courses displayed with graphics that make players seem like they are on-site.
