Giving Back: Football Team Wants To Help You Dispose Of Your Leaves

The South Milwaukee football team is also winning off the field.

The team is planning to spread out across South Milwaukee from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 19, to rake leaves and then take them back to school property for mulching.

Want to get on the list, or know a neighbor who could use help? Contact Coach Derek Hoff at dhoff@sdsm.k12.wi.us.

Thanks to the Rockets for taking on a service project like this, as they continue on the road to perfection on the field. This is a special team indeed.

(One additional note: The team plans to bring the leaves they collect to their property at the high school, mulching them to make for a better lawn next spring. I ask all readers to consider mulching this fall.)

Eight Is Great: Rockets Roll To 8-0 With Offensive Explosion At Pewaukee

What a show.

South Milwaukee racked up 606 yards of offense — including some huge individual performances — on their way to a 56-41 victory over Pewaukee on Friday night.

The win moved the Rockets to 8-0, with a Woodland Conference showdown against undefeated Greendale looming Thursday night in South Milwaukee.

From the Lake Country Now story …

Check out some of these fantasy football numbers.

By halftime, South Milwaukee senior quarterback Justin Oliden had 311 yards passing, including three touchdowns and one on the ground. He finished with five touchdowns and no interceptions, with the longest covering 88 yards to senior Mitchell Dess late in the second quarter. Dess was also off the charts with 10 receptions for 305 yards and four scores. One of his touchdown catches was remarkable, pulling in an 11-yard score from Oliden with defenders all over him in the middle of the end zone. Dess also had an interception on a fake punt by Pewaukee on their own 1-yard line in the fourth quarter.

The Rockets also sported a healthy running attack. Senior Ian Pribyl had 28 carries for 171 yards and two touchdowns.

“They’re strong, they’re good, but this one hurts a little bit right now,” said Justin Fritzke, Pewaukee’s head football coach. “Tonight, we just couldn’t get our defense off the field. We got behind a little bit and couldn’t afford to against a team of that caliber.”

Oliden finished with 386 yards passing and five touchdowns, giving him this stat line for the season: 83-of-123 passing for 1,521 yards, 21 touchdowns and just six interceptions.

Dess has 45 catches for 916 yards on the season and 14 touchdowns. Pribyl has 177 carries for 1,214 yards and 19 scores.

Pretty amazing numbers. And, from the looks of it, this team is just getting started.

Thursday’s kickoff is 7 p.m. at Spaltholz Field, before the team opens WIAA playoff play.  To get things started right for Thursday’s game, the school’s Future Career and Community Leaders of America chapter is planning a Color Run starting at 5 p.m. in the student parking lot. Check out the flyer here. See you there!

Note: WISN also has highlights of Friday’s game.

ROCKET GIRLS’ TENNIS

The Rockets competed in a tough WIAA Subsectional last Monday and advanced their #1 Singles – Mackenzie Meyers (11) & #1 Doubles – Chidimma Ozodi (12) & Amber Bizub (12) to WIAA Sectional Play. Chidimma & Amber drew one of the best teams in the state from Nicolet but played them tough before dropping the match 2-6, 0-6. Mackenzie Myers played a scrappy player from Milwaukee King who came into the Sectionals with an 18-3 record, but Mackenzie played a tremendous match in 25mph winds and Mackenzie Meyers won 6-2, 7-5 and advanced to the WIAA State Tournament!!!

Best of luck next Thursday to Mackenzie!!

Council Roundup: Oct. 7, 2014

Quick roundup from Tuesday’s South Milwaukee City Council meeting …

  • The South Milwaukee Police Department formally received its WILEAG accreditation, as I wrote about.
  • The council accepted, with regrets, the retirement of South Milwaukee Police Capt. Terry Olson, a 29-year veteran of the department. Wrote Capt. Olson in his note to the council: “I can only hope that the contributions I have made during my career were enough to justify the bounty that I have received.” His contributions were significant, he will be missed.
  • The council also voted to increase recycling fees by 5% both in 2015 and 2016. By doing this, we expect will be able to fully fund the program without requiring the use of budget fund balance come 2016. With the changes, the annual recycling fee will be $53.04 per single family residence in 2015, plus a $4.41 hazardous waste disposal fee per dwelling per year. Those fees move to $55.69 and $4.66 per year, respectively, in 2016.
  • The council also voted to change City Hall hours, effective Feb. 9, 2015 — following the end of the initial tax collection season. The new hours will be 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a half-hour lunch for employees. Hours are currently 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with an hour lunch for employees. We believe the earlier start will better serve residents.

Taking A Cardboard Boat Ride … Across The Middle School Pool

A cool event (and program) from the school district … this sounds like fun.

Students from South Milwaukee High School’s new Technology & Engineering Academy will be conducting their first annual cardboard boat regatta on Monday, October 13.

While learning about engineering concepts, teams of three students are designing full-sized boats for two of them to actually row across the middle school pool and back.  The boats are built out of only cardboard, clear packing tape, and a little hot glue.  Their engineering success or failure will be evident when they enter the water for the first time.

 Come cheer the students on beginning at 4:00 (doors open at 3:30).  We hope to see you there, and please bring family and friends!

Well-Deserved Recognition For Our Police Department

SMPD accreditationThe South Milwaukee Police Department continues to deliver. But don’t take my word for it.

Consider that of the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group, which has once again accredited our department following a rigorous review of the SMPD earlier this year. It is the fifth time the department has been accredited, the most in the state, and the department is one of less than 50 in the state to be going through the accreditation process.

The department was recognized at our City Council meeting Tuesday night.

WILEAG exists to “promote excellence and professionalism in policing” and includes 237 standards it promotes with local police departments. From the accreditation report:

The assessors were in agreement that the South Milwaukee Police Department is an excellent example of a WILEAG approved law enforcement agency; and is why they are sought out by law enforcement agencies for guidance when looking to become WILEAG accredited.

SMPD follows their Mission Statement: “We, the members of the South Milwaukee Police Department, are dedicated to providing a proactive, full service department that enhances the quality of life in our community by reducing crime through the protection of life and property”.

Central to their mission is a set of values that guide their work and decisions which allow them to make significant contributions to improving the quality of life in South Milwaukee; those values are: Human Life, Integrity, themselves, Excellence, Cooperation, Accountability, Laws and the Constitution. …

Reflecting on their proofs of compliance, feedback from the community and professional associates, and our observations of the agency, the team concluded unanimously that the department had achieved compliance with the applicable standards established by the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group.

Congratulations to the SMPD!

Going Pink For A Cure: Recognizing Cancer Survivors, T-Shirt Orders Due

A note from Andrea Kaplan, South Milwaukee High School associate principal … she can be reached at akaplan@sdsm.k12.wi.us.

On October 21st the School District of South Milwaukee will Go Pink to support Justice for a Cure.  In celebration of this great cause the Middle School will raise funds and host the Pink Day Assembly.  I am excited to have this opportunity at the middle school and look forward to working with many groups throughout the district to make this event memorable.

This year there will be a portion of the assembly dedicated to celebrating breast cancer survivors within our community or who have a tie to our community.  It is important to show our students the reality and impact that breast cancer has on not only ourselves but on our community.  

If you are a survivor or you know a survivor who lives or has ties to the South Milwaukee community I would like to personally invite you or them to be a guest at our assembly.  Our special guests will not have a speaking part but will have a spotlight moment.  

Please feel free to forward this information to parents, family members, friends or anyone you know that would be willing to be a guest for this amazing celebration.

RSVP to Ms. Kaplan for more information.

And don’t forget that t-shirt orders are due today. More here …

Also, a reminder to order your Breast Cancer Justice for a Cure T-shirt today (deadline Monday, October 6). Shirts specifically made for the day are available for purchase online.

Downtown Momentum

I am excited about downtown South Milwaukee, and where it’s headed.

Here are a few reasons why.

For starters, I am proud to announce that three new destination retail businesses are planning to open downtown in coming weeks – exactly the kind of businesses we need more of in our city center.

  • One, MKE City Sippers, is a new upscale coffee shop opening at 911 Milwaukee Ave., between I Can’t Resist Kids Resale and Dowling Community Acupuncture. Owned by Nicole Maxey, a young professional excited about the prospects of our city center, it will serve Anodyne Coffee (terrific, if you haven’t been to their stores in Bay View and Walker’s Point), gourmet lattes, fair trade loose leaf Rishi tea, Dang! Butterscotch Root Beer, cupcakes and other locally baked goods. MKE City Sippers — pictured below — will also be offering free wifi, books to read, fun coffee mugs and tea infusers, unique gift items and more. They are hoping to open the week of October 27. Check out their Facebook page in the meantime.
  • The former Voice Journal/Graphic/Kelly Driving School building is also getting new life as a retail storefront for Troy Kinunen. Troy is the owner of Mears Online Auctions, located in the beautifully redone St. Mary’s Hall in town. His storefront at 723 Milwaukee will feature a unique mix of old-fashioned candy, novelties and collectibles. Troy just received approval from the Plan Commission to move ahead with a complete overhaul of the building, including construction of a second-floor condo and storage space to go along with the retail storefront. He expects to open Dec. 1.
  • And, finally, the former South Milwaukee Carpet/Garden Theater won’t stay closed for long. While the carpet store at 1007 Milwaukee closed this summer with the retirement of the Lugauers, their son, Gordon, who grew up above the carpet shop, has purchased the building. His plans? To open a third location for his Board Game Barrister business, joining existing locations at the Greenfield Towne Center and Bayshore Town Center. Tentative opening date is Oct. 27.

Please join me in welcoming all three of these businesses to town — and join me in patronizing them. I’ll keep you posted as their grand openings draw near … and pledge to keep working my hardest to attract just these types of businesses to our fair city.

That’s just the start when it comes to downtown. Hopefully you’ve already seen some of the other efforts underway to improve our city center. For example, hundreds, if not thousands, of people are rediscovering downtown South Milwaukee through special events.

  • The South Milwaukee Downtown Market continues to rock and roll, and this summer its 11th Avenue location got a new look with a new road and streetscaping project. (The plantings just went in last week.)
  • The first two Guardian Credit Union Movies in the Market have also been a hit, both drawing hundreds of attendees following the farmers’ markets. The third outdoor movie, “Hocus Pocus,” is showing following the market’s season-ending Fall Family Festival this Thursday, Oct. 9. And Guardian — a proud downtown business of its own — has already committed to doing three more downtown movies in 2015!
  • We’re also bringing Rocketober to downtown South Milwaukee on Saturday, Oct. 25, with a special trick-or-treating scavenger hunt just for merchants in our city center. More details to come.
  • Christmas will also be special downtown, with events like the tree lighting and parade and a new “shop local” event being planned by the South Shore Chamber of Commerce. (Stay tuned for details on this one.) The South Milwaukee Community and Business Association has also led the charge in replacing more than 60 street decorations, purchasing new LED light fixtures, among other changes.

We’ve also made progress in more proactively enforcing our building codes. Hopefully you’re seeing a difference, one building at a time. A new window her, a paint job there, or maybe removal of an ugly awning. We have lots more work to do in this area, and we’re doing it, putting a laser focus on making sure our downtown building owners live up to the baseline of our city ordinances. Too many of them haven’t been.

And as we do this – all of this – we’re making strong progress toward the long-term work we need to do downtown as well. That starts with our long-overdue downtown plan.

There are lots of moving parts here, including the potential hiring of a citywide economic development director, formation of a downtown South Milwaukee advisory committee, and selection of a third-party consultant to aid us in the planning process. The economic development director position and planning consultant are both funded in the first executive budget I’ve been a part of as mayor, finalized late last week.

So, lots going on. Excited? I am. Much more to come!

Two Community Servants Left Their Mark

South Milwaukee lost a couple of dedicated community servants recently.

  • Frank Zawacki, a former alderman and council president who also owned Frank’s Barber Shop in town, died Thursday at the age of 83. Here is his obituary.
  • And Eugene Briesemeister, a 36-year veteran of the South Milwaukee Fire Department, passed away on Sept. 21. He was 84. Here is his obituary.

Please keep both families in your thoughts and prayers.

Big Homecoming Win — And Another Conference Title — For South Milwaukee

Lucky 7-0 … and a third straight Woodland East Conference championship.

Not a bad Homecoming for the South Milwaukee football team, which rolled to a 42-0 victory over Cudahy on Friday at Spaltholz Field.

The offense continued to dominate, racking up 273 yards on the ground. Ian Pribyl ran 16 times for 152 yards and two touchdowns, and quarterback Justin Oliden had 11 carries for 124 yards and two scores, including a 72-yard second-quarter TD run. The Rocket defense held the Packers to 188 yards of total offense.

Now come two huge challenges for the Rockets — two Woodland West “crossover” games against powers Pewaukee and Greendale. First, it’s at Pewaukee this Friday at 7 p.m., and then South Milwaukee hosts Greendale on Thursday, Oct. 16, at 7 p.m.

Then it’s WIAA playoff time. Bring it on!

Let’s keep the perfect season going.
