Shorewood’s Dry Cleaners Offer
Convenience, Care and Service
A
s the season brings warmer weather and more
daylight, spring cleaning remains a tradition in many
households. Shorewood’s dry cleaners are ready to
help, willing to clean anything from your rugs to your
“Uggs” as you transition to summer. Of course, these
businesses offer invaluable services all year-round, keeping your
wardrobe spotless and pressed for any occasion. Each of the
business district’s three dry cleaning services offers something a
little different and each boasts legions of loyal customers.
Good, Old-Fashioned Service
Shorewood Queensway Cleaners (4300 N. Oakland Ave.) is one of
the oldest businesses on North Oakland Ave. This dry cleaning
business cleans almost anything, including clothing, wedding
gowns, baptism gowns, family heirlooms, tapestries and vintage
garments. All dry cleaning and shirts are done on location, with
items such as leathers, suedes, rugs and “Uggs” sent out to a
wholesale company. In addition to dry cleaning, Shorewood
Queensway does repairs, buttons and trims, and garment testing
(to determine the best care and cleaning of a garment, and/or
whether it can be safely dry cleaned).
Shirley Carlson and her late husband Don opened Shorewood
Queensway in 1977 and hired Tracey Spector as manager in 1986.
“It’s like an extended family, this business,” Carlson says. “It’s very
personalized. We just give good, old-fashioned service.”
Spector and Carlson agree that what sets their service apart is, as
Spector puts it, “Lots of education and experience in the industry, as
well as a knack for personal service – knowing 99 percent of every
customer’s specific wants, needs and desires. We fine-tune our
service to each customer.” Carlson adds that Shorewood Queensway
takes particular pride in its ability to remove even the most vexing
stains, aided by Spector’s extensive background in textile science.
Shorewood Queensway enjoys a solid “A” rating on Angie’s List
and has been singled out for the List’s “Page of Happiness” award.
Carlson also regularly receives letters of recommendations from
loyal customers.
Another testament to the strong service: “We have several
customers who don’t even live in the area and travel quite a
distance to bring their clothing to us,” Spector says. “We even have
one customer from Door County who ships his orders to us, and
then picks them up when he’s in the Milwaukee area.”
Adds Carlson, “We do our very best to take care of our customers’
clothing, because clothes are not only an expression of your
personality, they can also be costly. When you buy something, it
makes you feel good, and we keep that in mind.”
Alternative Approach
Shirley Carlson, owner of Shorewood Queensway Cleaners, with
manager Tracy Spector.
Capitol Cleaners (2101 E. Capitol Dr.), another family-owned dry
cleaning business, has been in Shorewood for 20 years. It is the
Village’s only business that bills itself as an organic dry cleaner.
Organic dry cleaning is not regulated by industry or government,
and there are a variety of approaches. Capitol Cleaners uses a
hydrocarbon solvent which, the owners state, is produced without
using “excluded methods, artificial enhancers or ionizing radiation.”
All items brought into the store are cleaned using the
hydrocarbon solvent and a system claiming to eliminate any solvent
residue, says co-owner Yuan Han. She believes in the benefits of this
system, and says, “My customers notice the difference.”
The few items that aren’t cleaned onsite are leathers, suede items
and rugs. Capitol Cleaners also offers tailoring, wedding gown
cleaning and restoration, and has an overall “A” rating on Angie’s List.
Han says she likes conducting business in Shorewood because
“people are nice and friendly,” and she enjoys, “the good relationship
I have with my customers.” She believes her customers know that the
employees work hard toward a goal of complete customer
satisfaction. “It’s not the quantity of work, but the quality of work,”
she says, that makes her store special.

Martinizing Dry Cleaning’s Shorewood location (3596 N. Oakland
Ave.) is just one of the company’s many locations both nationally
and internationally. Originally founded in 1949 when chemist Henry
Martin introduced a non-flammable chemical in solvents that
enabled on-premise cleaning, the business has grown to become
the country’s largest dry cleaning franchise.
Shorewood Martinizing’s owner, Brian Cass, says his family has
been in the dry cleaning business throughout Milwaukee for more
than 40 years, and has owned the Shorewood location for about six
years. In total, the family owns 17 Martinizing locations throughout
metropolitan Milwaukee. Cass says he likes doing business in
Shorewood because of, “The small-town feel, the atmosphere and
the quaintness of the Village.”
In addition to a wide variety of dry cleaning services, Martinizing is
known for its same-day service for laundered and pressed shirts. The
business also offers alterations, shoe repair, wedding gown cleaning
and preservation, and window-blind cleaning.
For customers who place a premium on convenience, Martinizing
offers a free pick-up and delivery service. Customers simply place
laundry in a special Martinizing bag and hang it somewhere outside
the door of their home or office to be picked up (and dropped off)
twice a week.
Cass recalls one unique incident at the Shorewood location a few
years ago. A local television news crew was following around an Indy
car driver, and filmed him pulling into the parking lot and picking up
his dry cleaning – landing the business and staff on duty an on-air
cameo on the evening news that day.

advantage. Fortunately, there are a variety of

Shorewood’s business district. Chances are,
there’s one within walking distance that

family-friendly fun as competitors race through the streets of
Shorewood.
ToAD, presented by the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board, is the
largest competitive road cycling event in the U.S. The Shorewood
Criterium is produced by the Shorewood Business Improvement
District (BID) with title sponsorship from Tim Hart, D.D.S., and
Rainbow Jersey Bicycles.
The Criterium has become a highly anticipated, can’t-miss event
for Village residents and cycling enthusiasts. The high-energy
competition features hundreds of professional male and female
cyclists racing at speeds exceeding 35 miles per hour!
which is the men’s amateur category just below the professional
category. However, don’t be surprised if you see a few women
joining in this race. The Category 2/3 race kicks off the event at
4:30 p.m., and is 45 minutes long.
• ToAD will set up three cameras at fixed locations on the course
to broadcast the action on a Jumbotron screen at the corner of
E. Kensington Ave. and N. Oakland Ave. This way, spectators at this
popular location in the business district can watch more of the
action. The Jumbotron is being added thanks to title sponsor Tim
Hart’s additional support.
“Shorewood’s race is one of
only four in ToAD with coveted
status as a National Criterium
Calendar (NCC) race.”
NCC Designation
This year’s event, which takes place on Thursday, June 20, brings
some exciting additions:
• Shorewood’s race is one of only four in ToAD with coveted status
as a National Criterium Calendar (NCC) race. Created in 2012 to
showcase the country’s top criterium-only events, the NCC
recognizes the best criterium racers on American soil by
employing a season-long rankings system that identifies overall
men’s and women’s series leaders. NCC status attracts some of
the world's best riders because of the significant prize potential –
making for a more exciting race all around!
• The Criterium has added a new race for “Category 2/3” cyclists,
• ToAD is working to set up streaming footage of the race on its
website (tourofamericasdairyland.com) and on the Shorewood
BID’s website (shorewoodwi.com). Guests at the popular “house
parties” hosted on race day by residents who live along the course
(on E. Wood Pl., N. Maryland Ave. and E. Kensington Blvd.) could
then see more of the action from their locations as well.
• Finally, the start/finish line of the 1.3 mile course moves to the
corner of E. Lake Bluff Ave. and N. Oakland Ave. this year.
Watch your mailbox in early June for the official Shorewood
Criterium guide with all the exciting details. For more information,

“First Ride” Event Helps Kids
Ditch Training Wheels
Back for its third year on Saturday, June 15, is the Shorewood
BID’s successful “First Ride” event, that gives kids the opportunity
to take off their training wheels and learn to successfully ride a
two-wheeled bike.
Produced by the Shorewood Business Improvement District
and Rainbow Jersey Bicycles in partnership with the Shorewood
Police Department, this event takes place from 12 noon to 3 p.m.
on the west playground of Atwater Elementary School. First Ride
can accommodate up to 75 young riders by registration (visit
shorewoodwi.com for registration information).
The event features a unique learning method that involves
removing the pedals as well as the training wheels, practicing
balance on a level course, and finally re-installing the pedals.
This method has helped First Ride participants proudly ride their
two-wheelers home from the event! All First Ride participants
will receive a certificate and have the opportunity to lead the
Kids’ Roll at 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 20, during the Shorewood
Criterium.

Students enrolled in Shorewood’s New Horizons School create portable
wagon gardens to grow healthy, affordable food.
SHOREWOOD SCHOOLS
New Horizons
Students Help
Develop Urban
Architecture
Focus on innovative
ways to grow healthy,
affordable food
S
ince it was chartered in 2005, Shorewood’s New Horizons
for Learning Charter High School, which was designed
to engage at-risk students in new ways, has been
renowned for its work in urban agriculture developments
throughout the Milwaukee area. This school year is no
exception.
Currently, 14 New Horizons students, along with New Horizons
teacher Bohdan Nedilsky, are working to apply their academics in
the real world by developing and improving the Concordia
Gardens in Milwaukee’s Harambee Neighborhood. Once
completed, the garden will give nearby residents the opportunity
to grow their own healthy food while increasing the sense of
community in the area.
As part of the project, some students are writing a
Lead2Change grant, which, if awarded, will be used to develop
individual plots in the garden for nearby elementary school
students.
“The grant will be used to purchase lumber, seedlings, soil and
paint so that students can then build their own plots and tend to
their own gardens,” New Horizons sophomore Summer Jurinik-Van
Kempen explains. “By growing tomatoes, onions and herbs,
students can take the food home and cook healthy recipes that
will be provided by the restaurant MKE Localicious.”
In addition to developing the community garden, other New
Horizons students recently developed a portable wagon garden
prototype that would allow fresh food to be easily grown and
transported throughout the Harambee area. The wagon gardens
were inspired by the documentary “Truck Farm,” that tells the story
of Brooklyn residents who converted the beds of old pick-up
trucks into herb and vegetable gardens and then delivered the
produce to the city’s residents, particularly those living in
impoverished areas.
“We thought the portable gardens would be an easier way to
garden and get healthy food,” says senior Dylan Dismeke. Currently
Dismeke, along with classmates Jeff Parker and Shannon Parlow,
have built four wagon garden prototypes. They hope to put them
into action this spring.
“The work with agriculture and
community building has inspired many
students to pursue similar careers
after they leave New Horizons.”
Ultimately, New Horizons students hope that their projects will
address the need for innovative ways to grow healthy, affordable
food in urban areas.
“With the gardens, residents will be able to raise their own
vegetables, since there often aren’t vegetables available in the
stores throughout the neighborhood,” senior Sophia Michels says.
Besides spreading their appreciation of urban agriculture
throughout the greater Milwaukee area, New Horizons students
also traveled to Chicago’s North Park University in January, where
they gave a presentation on partnership building and creating
conditions for healthy learning organizations to some of the
university’s sociology students. Students at North Park are
pursuing an urban agriculture project similar
to the one New Horizons is working on in
Milwaukee. On March 5, the students returned
to Chicago to offer additional grant-writing
assistance while sharing their mobilegardening experiences. The students will
return to North Park a final time before the
end of the school year.
“North Park is partnering with an
elementary school across the street from the
university to help them connect with each
other and learn how to plant,” Parlow explains.
“The gardens will teach the students
responsibility and promote an active way to
get invested in gardening.”
The students also brought a portable
garden prototype to show the university
students how they built the structure so they
can also build them for students in Chicago.
Although the projects taken on by New
Horizons students may seem like a far cry
from the typical high school classroom
experience, the students and school’s teachers
work hard to include academic standards and
benchmarks in all that they do. For example,
the students address common-core literacy
requirements (that call for students to read
more non-fiction and instructional texts) by
reading content materials from the Economist
and Scientific American. Students then carry
out their content area development through
projects like those listed above. Similarly, grant
writing gives the students an opportunity to
write in a professional, proposal-driven
manner, an important skill for the 21st century
world they’ll face after graduation.
The work with agriculture and community
building has also inspired many of the
students to pursue similar careers after they
leave New Horizons.
“I want to attend the University of
Wisconsin-Madison to study horticulture,”
Jurinik-Van Kempen says. “Eventually, I want to
own my own greenhouse.”
Parlow echoed similar comments as well.
“I learned about giving to the community and
making partnerships. I learned a lot about the
environment and gained a respect that I didn’t
have before – and I just like gardening now.
It’s relaxing and therapeutic, and will always
be a part of my life.”
Students discuss plans for building their portable wagons.

Preparing for 21st Century Learning
with Common Core State Standards
During the next few years, Shorewood School District’s
curriculum will undergo changes as the District works to
implement the Common Core State Standards, which were
formally adopted by the State of Wisconsin in 2010. The
Standards have also been adopted by 48 states.
The goal of the Standards is to give students the criticalthinking and problem-solving skills needed to succeed in life
after high school. As part of the Standards, math, science,
reading, English and history/social studies have benchmarks
students are expected to meet.
Currently, Standards have been written and finalized for
reading, English, math and science, with implementation
underway at schools across the country. (The social
studies/history framework should be released before the end of
2013.) In Shorewood, teachers will begin work this summer to
align the District’s current courses to the benchmarks. Once fully
implemented, Shorewood students will be expected to meet
these benchmarks.
For example, as part of the reading requirements, students are
expected to read and comprehend increasingly complex material
as they advance through each grade level.
While there is no reading list that
N O W A C C E P T I N G N E W PAT I E N T S !
accompanies the Standards, students will
be required to read classical literature, like
Shakespeare, as well as material they are
likely to encounter in the workplace, such

classes at each grade level, although
school districts are free to choose the
order that topics are taught within a
particular grade level.
In science classes, students will be
taught to see science as a way to gather,

Shorewood, the District has already begun
to tackle these benchmarks with the
recent addition of a video production lab
at Atwater Elementary School.
Because the Standards will eventually
be fully implemented by school districts in
throughout the U.S., students, staff and
teachers nationwide will now have a sense
of continuity in education.
“It’s a common ground, a level playing
field for all students,” says Dr. Tabia
Nicholas, Shorewood’s Director of
Curriculum, Instruction and Pupil Services.
“The standards don’t necessarily focus on
just what a particular teacher or district
thinks is important. It doesn’t mean that
everything will be necessarily taught in the
same way, but it will be taught in a more
systemic fashion.”
According to
Nicholas, while the
District’s curriculum
standards will
change, the dayto-day student
experience in
Shorewood’s
classrooms will
remain fairly
consistent.
“Our teachers are

Curriculum, Instruction and doing dynamic

things already,”
Nicholas says. “The project-based learning,
the simulations – all of that is happening
already and will continue.”
Students will notice a change, however,
when they complete state assessments.
Currently, students in third, fourth, eighth
and tenth grades take the Wisconsin
Knowledge and Concepts Exam (WKCE)
each fall. Beginning with the 2014-15
school year, students will begin taking the
Smarter Balance Assessment during the
spring instead.
Unlike the WKCE exam, which requires
students to answer multiple-choice
questions using a paper and pencil, the
Smarter Balanced Assessments will be
administered online, and will ask students
to demonstrate that they fully understand
a concept by showing their work, rather
than by simply filling in a multiple-choice
bubble.
“The biggest difference is the shift from
asking students to simply give an answer
to having them explain the process behind
their answer,” Nicholas says. “It’s going from
‘tell me what you know’ to ‘show me what
you know.’ It’s not necessarily more difficult,
but the students’ required comprehension
and explanation is different, as correct
responses will be measured by critical
thinking and in-depth problem solving.”
In addition to the Smarter Balanced
Assessment each spring, teachers will also
be administering the MAP test to students
in grades three through nine throughout
the school year. The MAP, or Measures of
Academic Progress, is an adaptive,
computerized test for reading, language
arts and mathematics.
Like the Smarter Balanced Assessment,
the MAP test is aligned to the Common
Core State Standards. However, because
the MAP test is given more than once, with
results available the next day, teachers will
be able to use MAP results to plan
instruction for individual students and/or
groups of students. At the end of each
school year, students, families and teachers
will be able to use MAP results to see how
students have grown academically from
one year to the next.
By implementing the Common Core
Standards, Shorewood will ensure that
every student is on the same level, and
leaves high school with the tools needed
to enter college or the work force.
However, according to Shorewood
Superintendent Dr. Martin Lexmond, the
work will not stop there.
“Even though we are committed to
helping every student succeed, there is no
ceiling, no limit to how far our students
can and will go,” Lexmond explains. “We
want our students to do well on tests, but,
in Shorewood, we also know that our
students are more than test scores.”

Shorewood Spanish teacher Joshua Becker leads his
students as they act out Spanish dialog in class.
Early World Language Program Benefits Students
For Shorewood School District students, the path to learning a
second language starts at a young age. Beginning in fourth
grade, students take Spanish classes as part of the general
elementary curriculum. As students move on to Intermediate
School and then High School, they can continue to study the
language until they graduate.
According to numerous researchers, the benefits of learning a
second language at a young age are tremendous, ranging from
the development of native-like pronunciation and increased
comfort with cultural differences, to the development of strong
logic skills and higher test scores. To help cultivate these benefits
in his youngest students (fourth graders at Atwater and Lake
Bluff Elementary Schools), Shorewood Spanish teacher Joshua
Becker not only teaches the basics of the Spanish language, but
also works to instill a love of all language in his classes.
“My goal is to provide an enjoyable experience with a second
language,” Becker says. “If my students are still taking a language
in college, or after college because I gave them an enjoyable
experience with the language, then that’s a success.”
In his classes, Becker uses a textbook to help infuse cultural
themes into his lessons, and also has students write their own
Spanish stories. The stories often require students to introduce
themselves to one another or share where they might like to live
when they grow up. Once the stories are complete, students act
out the dialogue in front of one another.
“Research shows putting the actions with words allows
students to learn the meaning of the vocabulary on a deeper
level,” Becker says.
As seventh graders enter Shorewood Intermediate School,
many of the same techniques are used to help students continue
their Spanish education. Teacher Lisa Bane, for example, uses the
same textbook series to teach her seventh and eighth grade
classes about culture, and also gives them speaking assignments
to practice the language. Unlike Becker, however, her students
film themselves as part of verbal assignments, giving each
individual an opportunity to see how they have developed a
comfort with the language over time.
“At the beginning of the school year, students may be
struggling to say a date correctly in Spanish, and then, six months
later, it’s clear that the kids have developed a fluency,” Bane says.
Before leaving SIS, students that want to continue their Spanish
education take a placement test. Often, eighth graders test into
the second or third level of the language at Shorewood High
School. As students advance in high school, they have the
opportunity to take six different Spanish courses, including AP
(Advanced Placement) Spanish. This year, 25 SHS students
registered to take the AP Spanish test, including some
sophomores and juniors. Last year, 70% of the students that took
the AP Spanish exam scored a “3” or higher, which is the score that
most universities require to earn college credit for AP courses.
“A quality world languages program engages students
through high school and beyond. By beginning Spanish
education at a young age, Shorewood students develop a
foundation for learning languages at an early age,” explains
Shorewood High School principal Matt Joynt. “An early start will
allow more of our students to test into higher levels of Spanish in
college, and will offer students the opportunity to better market
themselves when they enter the workforce.”

Shorewood Games 2013 Raise More
Than $56,000 for the MACC Fund
While the rest of the world might be taking a break from the
international spectacle that is the Olympics, students at
Shorewood High School spent two weeks in March participating
in their own competition held every four years: the exciting
Shorewood Games.
The Games, which began in the 1980s, serve as a fundraiser for
the MACC (Midwest Athletes Against Childhood Cancer) Fund. This
year, the Games raised more than $56,000 for the organization.
During the Games, SHS students get involved in countless
activities, ranging from raffle ticket sales to the ever-popular Buzz
Cuts (students shave their heads to support those who have lost
their hair as a result of cancer).
“There are chances for all students to get involved, and it’s really
awesome to see students that you wouldn’t normally expect (to
participate) come out of their shell,” says Shorewood High School
senior Avery Anapol. Anapol, along with senior Lily Blind, senior
Meredith Behm and junior Haley Lipo Zovic served as student
organizers for the event, while SHS physical education teacher Lisa
Bromley was the staff advisor.
Each class earned points for every student who participated in
an event. At the end of the two weeks, the class with the most
points was awarded coveted gold medal t-shirts. This year, the
seniors, class of 2013, were crowned champions.
While the Games are entirely student-driven and organized,
District staff, administration and community members also have a
chance to get involved in the action.
For example, District administrators, including Superintendent
Martin Lexmond, Shorewood High School Principal Matt Joynt,
School Board Member Colin Plese and High School Counselor Jen
Runde all volunteered to take part in “Jailhouse Rock,” a fundraiser
that locked them in “jail” at Alterra Coffee on Saturday, March 9,
until they could post a $1,000 bond. (The money, of course, was
donated to the MACC Fund.) Residents also had the opportunity
to attend numerous events as part of the games, including a pasta
dinner at the high school, a pancake breakfast at Atwater
Elementary and a band concert.
“I think that’s the most special thing about the games – they
bring the community together for a good cause,” Anapol says.
Although the games only happen once in a student’s career at
SHS, Anapol hopes to take what she gained from the experience
with her after she graduates in June.
“I’ve always dreamed of starting Buzz Cuts at my college,
but this made me realize that I would like to be involved with
organizations that give back, like the MACC Fund, for the rest
of my life.”
SHS counselor Amy Miller (left) and Lake Bluff teacher Mandy Kluck
were named Kohl Fellowship recipients this spring. As part of
the honor, both women and their respective schools
will receive a $1,000 grant from Kohl's.
New Video Lab Comes Into Focus
Coming soon to Smartboard classrooms
all across the District and the Internet –
student-created videos from Atwater
School’s Extracurricular Video Club.
Seamless Integration into Existing
Classroom Technologies
What began as an idea for video
announcements by Atwater’s Musical
Director Walt Boyer, who saw the capacity
of the Smartboard technology (projected
computer images with sound) for
showing video that would be broadcast
to every classroom, developed into a
three-teacher tour de force of video and
technology skills being shared with
students at Atwater School. A grant from
the Atwater PTO this year made it
possible to create the room, and the
funds were used to create a green screen
and a computer center loaded with
video-editing software.
Student-Guided Learning
and Production
Following the completion of the lab, an
after-school club for 5th and 6th graders
began meeting once a week in March
with three volunteer teachers:
Walt Boyer, music teacher (with extensive
experience on the musical side); Anthony
Schiro, 6th grade teacher (credited for
being the ‘intuitive genius’ of the team
with editing experience); and Jeffrey
Cartier, 6th grade teacher (who has
professional video production
experience). The 18 students in the club
have full access to the equipment.
Says Cartier, “With guidance and
support from us, students will use a
variety of digital tools to produce and
publish writing as a group, building on
each others’ ideas. We are teaching all
aspects of video production from field to
post production including lighting,
sound, videography, scripting, editing,
music production, copyright law and
promotion.” Besides the green room, the
group uses three small HD video cameras
with some audio capabilities to record.
The club was initially designed to
produce scripted, highly professional
magazine-format programs featuring
ideas and events happening around
Atwater School through student-initiated
creation, production and distribution.
Principal Tim Kenney applauds the
effort which, “Paves the way for
transformational education and practice.
It offers a very clear way to take a
concept, like one of our Character
Education principles, and make a kind of
public service announcement about it
and have it available on the server for
teachers to share with their classes. It
builds our community and their technical
skills at the same time.”
The first client for the club – School
Superintendent Martin Lexmond – is a
high profile one for the team. Lexmond
will create a message for District staff.
The program will be available for
viewing on the school’s shared network.
Teachers will be given a window to
present a program to their homerooms
using interactive boards.
The Atwater PTO generously funded
the project’s installation and startup,
which has gotten the club up and
running. They have quickly found the
bottleneck to production, which is a lack
of RAM in the five-year-old computers in
the lab. Says Cartier, “We desperately need
some basic tools for video production,
such as several new iMacs with loaded
RAM networked to a dedicated server.
Environmental upgrades, such as carpet
and soundproofing, and replacement of
the overhead fluorescents with LED
studio lights, would make a large impact
as well.”
Curriculum-Focused Learning:
Common Core
Cartier explains, “This program will foster
and support Common Core standards for
literacy in all subjects.” The design of the
program will enhance literacy across the
curriculum and directly target common
core standards to expand project-based
learning.
Boyer stresses that the students are a
diverse group. “The club is really already
engaging different types of learners, and
gives each of them an opportunity to
develop what they’d like to do.”
Schiro adds, “Because we have them
rotate through many different parts of the
process, they find out what excites them
and where they excel. Students have
been very receptive.”

Spotlight on Shorewood:
Historic Milwaukee Brings “Spaces and Traces”
Tour to Village
U
pon reflection, most Shorewood residents would
acknowledge that the majority of Shorewood’s
housing stock is in excellent condition, but it
doesn’t hurt to have that fact confirmed by an
outside audience. On May 18, Historic Milwaukee Inc.
will host its 32nd annual “Spaces and Traces” tour in Shorewood to
call attention to the Village’s wide variety of architectural styles,
well-preserved homes and unique history as an early
Milwaukee suburb.
Hundreds of visitors are expected to attend the day-long event.
For Shorewood residents, it is an outstanding opportunity to view
the inside of a number of unique homes and to learn more about
the history of our community. The majority of Shorewood homes
were built in the 1920s and ‘30s. The peak year was 1926 when,
according to the Village assessor’s records, more than 270 homes
were under construction.
The Shorewood event is only the second Spaces and Traces tour
to be held outside of the City of Milwaukee. Shorewood Historical
Society members were particularly pleased to have Historic
Milwaukee recognize the historical significance of the Village.
“Providing research and logistical assistance to the planning
committee has been a thoroughly enjoyable experience,” says
Karen de Hartog, president of the Society. “I really hope that
Shorewood residents will take this opportunity to be tourists
in their own Village.”
Houses built during Shorewood’s building-boom years
represent all of the revival styles popular at the time, including
Tudor, Mediterranean, Colonial and Georgian. Prairie, Arts and
Crafts, and Art Deco styles were also popular. Well-known
architects such as Alexander Eschweiler, Elmer Grey, George
Schley and Russell Barr Williamson provided designs for a number
of Shorewood’s homes.

Beneath our feet,
the work goes on
Long-Term
Commitment
Needed To Prevent
Future Flooding
July 2010 is a month many Shorewood residents would like to forget.
On July 15, 3.56 inches of rain fell in 9 hours causing some flooding.
Then on July 22, 8.5 inches of rain fell on the already saturated
ground in the space of 8 hours. Shorewood’s sanitary and storm
water sewer system couldn’t handle the deluge, and water-filled
streets and backed up into basements. In some places, sanitary
sewers backed up due to the pipe configuration. Nearly 1,000 homes
were damaged from street flooding and basement back-ups.
As clean up began and piles of water-soaked refuse grew on the
curbs, the general consensus was that Shorewood’s aging sewer
system could no longer be ignored, especially since four heavy rain
events between 1997 and 2008 had already caused flooding
problems. Village staff began collecting information and assessing
the damage. Potential remedies and their related costs were
discussed at well-attended public meetings. Ultimately, a plan of
action was approved. Following is a review of the planning process,
a report of the progress to date and an outline of the work still to
be accomplished.
Implementation of this plan began in 2011. The remainder of the
plan is scheduled to be completed over the next 10 years. The
approved facility plan includes all of the work that the Village
would like to complete over time.
It is important to understand that although the overall plan
was approved by the Village Board, individual projects will be
reassessed as proposed construction time nears. Is it still a viable
project? Is there a better way to achieve the desired end? Have the
cost estimates changed? Are new funding sources available?
July-September 2011: Shorewood property owners were
surveyed to gauge support for proposed funding of the
Comprehensive Plan. Survey results: 78% of Shorewood property
owners were supportive of the Village implementing its
comprehensive sanitary sewer and storm water improvement
plan; a majority (55%) of respondents also indicated support for
the Village’s proposed plan for financing the 10 year, $34.4 million
program; a combination of property taxes and user fees was the
most popular option.
Planning for Prevention
August 2010 Four public meetings were held. Sewer repairs became
a “top priority” for the Board of Trustees and Village staff, and facility
performance goals were established.
September 2010-February 2011 Village engineers completed a full
study of Shorewood’s sewers. A “Comprehensive Facility Plan,
Sanitary Sewer, Combined Sewer and Storm Sewer Improvements”
was drafted to detail problems and possible solutions. The Plan
document was explained and discussed at six public meetings.
March-May 2011 Four engineering firms reviewed the
Comprehensive Plan based on their area of expertise. The Plan was
revised to include new recommendations and approved by the
Village Board. Engineering design for initial sewer projects began.
The Plan calls for $34.4 million in total improvements.
October 2011-Spring 2012 Discussions on funding continued.
Engineers refined plans for 2012 construction projects and
contracts were issued.
Progress To Date
Construction Season 2012
Basin 1: Sanitary sewer pipes were replaced with larger pipes to
reduce basement back-up risks (primarily on Olive and Newhall
Streets.) To improve drainage, a new storm sewer was installed on
Newhall St. to connect to the recently enlarged storm sewer pipe
on Capitol Dr.
Basin 6: A new sanitary sewer was constructed on Kensington
Boulevard to improve basement backup protection. Existing
sanitary sewer pipes were lined and rehabilitated, particularly on
Flooding on the corner or Edgewood and Oakland
was dramatic and destructive on July 22, 2010.
Wildwood Ave. Sewer lining reduces inflow and infiltration in
sewer pipes.
Combined sewer area, north: Sewer improvements were made
on Downer Ave. and Richland Ct. at Jarvis St. In addition, new storm
sewers were constructed in Ridgefield Cir. to improve drainage.
Still To Be Done
2013: Implement two distinct lining programs; complete
engineering work for 2014 construction.
The 2013 lateral lining program will target private laterals that are
a significant source of inflow and infiltration into the sanitary sewer
system (storm water gets into the sanitary pipes). This work is
targeted for high flow areas of Basins 1 and 6. Lateral lining does
NOT require tearing up the street.
The 2013 version of the Village’s annual mainline sewer lining
program will include work in the Combined Sewer area on Lake Dr.,
Richland Ct., Beverly Rd., Prospect Ave., Harcourt Pl. and Jarvis St. All
work is done within the pipe – manhole to manhole. Residents whose
homes/laterals connect to the pipe to be lined will receive a notice
with specific instructions and the date(s) of the work in their area.
2014: Install new storm sewer pipes on Glendale Ave., west of
Oakland Ave. The new pipes will replace existing pipes with larger
ones and improve flood protection in the vicinity of Glendale Ave.
and Woodburn Ave.
We will also install new sanitary sewers on Glendale Ave. to
complete the Basin 6 system improvements started in 2012.
Sanitary sewer construction will take place between Larkin and
Ardmore Streets.
2015 and beyond: Bid and begin construction projects in
Combined Sewer area. Multiple problems need to be addressed.
Improving the situation in the combined sewer area will be the
most difficult part of the entire project. In this area, the sanitary and
storm sewer functions are handled by the same pipe. Storm water
mixes with the sanitary sewer water and when rain is excessive, the
combined water, including untreated sewage, can back up in
basements. Also, all water in combined sewer pipes flows to the
Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District (MMSD) facility for
treatment. Cutting the amount of water flowing to MMSD after a
heavy rain could make a difference in the amount of untreated
water that ends up in the lake because the deep tunnel storage
is full.
Currently, plans recommend a partial separation of the sewers
(continued on page 28)
Nearly 1,000 homes
were damaged from street
flooding and basement
back-ups in July 2010.
east of Oakland Ave. between Menlo Blvd. and Capitol Dr. Partial or
“virtual” separation is achieved by construction of new storm
sewers parallel to the existing combined sewer to divert and
capture storm water flow from existing catch basins. This
alternative has proven to be more cost effective than enlargement
of the existing combined trunk sewers and eventual complete
separation of the area.
A key component of the plan is construction of a new east/west
storm trunk sewer that discharges to the Milwaukee River. This
storm sewer would act as the backbone for construction of a grid
of new storm sewers to achieve partial separation. Menlo Blvd.
appears to be the best location for this storm trunk sewer. Two of
the trunk sections would also drain the topographic depressions at
the intersection of Murray Ave. and Beverly Rd. and at Shorewood
Blvd. and Stowell Ave.
The proposed plans for the Combined Sewer area (south of
Capitol Dr.) will take multiple years to complete and are very costly
(approx. $16 million). Village staff is currently consulting with
MMSD and the City of Milwaukee to identify alternatives to the
plan that would take less time to implement and cost less.
Funding the Comprehensive Plan
After each of the individual sewer projects are approved, bids for
engineering, construction and all other related work are solicited.
Municipal bonds are issued to cover the cost of the accepted bids.
The bonds will be paid back through a mixture of funding sources:
• Property taxes
• Sewer utility fees (“sanitary sewer”)
• Proposed creation of stormwater utility fees
• MMSD grants for 25% of lateral rehab program
Sewer Utility
The Village of Shorewood last reviewed its sanitary sewer rates in
May 2010. At that time, the Village had not raised rates since 1998
and it implemented a two-phase rate increase to stabilize the

sanitary sewer utility. Shortly after that rate analysis, Shorewood
experienced the July 2010 flooding. Following Village Board
approval of the Comprehensive Facility Plan for Sanitary Sewer,
Combined Sewer and Storm Sewer Improvements, the Village
borrowed $1.6 million in 2011 and $4.6 million in 2012 for sanitary
sewer improvements. These improvements were planned to be
funded by sanitary sewer user fees which necessitate a further raise
in the rates.
These new rates will be reflected on the next quarterly utility bill
(expected to be mailed around July 1, 2013) as follows:
Previous rates

Based on an average household consumption value of 23 CCF per
quarter (or approximately 17,200 gallons), the sanitary sewer
portion of your bill would increase by $28.23 per quarter.
Our Future: Continued Commitment
and Conservation
Community support for repairing our sewer system was high
throughout the planning and approval process. Residents who had
to put up with the dust and noise of summer 2012 construction had
their commitment tested, and some residents – particularly those
who did not experience flooding – have questioned the cost.
However, at a community roundtable discussion in December 2010 a
resident commented, “Even those who did not have flooding need to
realize that water entering the pipes ‘upstream’ affects ‘down-stream’
property owners. This is a Shorewood problem that must be fixed to
maintain property values and the image of the entire Village.”
It is important to keep the goals of the entire program in mind as
we experience more dust and noise and higher utility bills. The
Village will continue to reassess and refine each of the projects yet to
be completed.
In the meantime, all residents can contribute to the solution by
conserving water. Visit the following website for water conservation
ideas: psc.wi.gov/conservation/water/WC-Consumers.htm
All of the community meeting presentations and planning
documents regarding sewer improvements are posted on the Village
website at villageofshorewood.org (click on “Sewer Improvement
Planning”). As future project dates draw closer, community meetings
will be scheduled to explain refinements to the plan or funding sources.

Swartz at [email protected] or call 414.847.2700.
Summer Bike Safety:
KNOW THE RULES OF THE ROAD

other motorized vehicles.
• Bicyclists must obey the rules of the road like any other
vehicle, including obeying stop signs, red lights and official
street signs.
• Only one person per bike is allowed, unless the bike is
tandem or has a child seat.
• No person 12 years of age or older may operate a bicycle
on the sidewalk. Exceptions are a bicycle equipped with a
child seat and carrying a child.
• During hours of darkness, a light visible from a distance
of at least 500 feet in front is required.
For other biking rules of the road, pick up a brochure at
Village Hall or the Shorewood Police Department.

Neighbors gather on the corner of Olive and Larkin to acknowledge
their “Shorewood Neighborhood of the Year” award.
Residents Supporting Each Other in
Shorewood’s Neighborhood of the Year

OF THE SUMMER
SOUNDS
CONCERT SERIES
AT HUBBARD
PARK!
According to a resident of Shorewood’s Neighborhood of the
Year, “I love that when I need community, I simply need to walk
outside.” Celebrations, work projects and the opportunity to
support each other have drawn the neighbors in the 4200 block
of Larkin and 1500 block of Olive into a close community.
Holiday parties (including after-dark Trick-or-Treat for children),
monthly happy hours, game nights and even a camping trip
provide neighborhood entertainment. But residents also gather
to support each other – to cheer on race participants, praise the
work of their community artist, raise funds for a neighbor’s
favorite charity, and provide yard work and a “meal train” for
neighbors who are experiencing difficulties.
Liz Kohler and Paru Shah, who nominated their neighborhood
for the award, wrote, “One of the things we are all aware of is a
tangible, positive energy that exists when we come together
as a group, and that fantastic vibe is recognized not only by
the residents, but also by people who live outside our (small)
borders.” Due to the neighborhood’s friendly reputation, and its
proximity to schools and shopping, residents have received
numerous letters from people who live elsewhere in Shorewood
expressing interest in purchasing real estate on the block should
residents ever wish to sell.
The residents of the Larkin/Olive neighborhood are looking
forward to walking together in the 4th of July parade behind
their “Neighborhood of the Year” banner.

From the Planning and
Development Department
• Plumbing Permit Simplified:
In response to resident complaints, a new,
single permit for residents replacing
dishwashers, disposals and water heaters
has been created. Previously, both
plumbing and electrical permits were
needed. The change allows a plumber or
homeowner to apply for just one permit
($60). If an electrician is involved, the
applicant must supply the contractor
information on the permit. This permit is
for one- and two-family dwellings only.
• Permits for Yard and Garden
Improvements Permits are needed for
decks, patios and fences. Also a Special
Privilege application must be filed to
request Village Board approval to plant
in the public right-of-way (with the
exception of minor plantings like
Hostas around a tree).
• New Deck Construction
Regulations Significant changes were
recently made to regulations regarding
the construction of decks. Effective May 1,
2013, amendments to the Wisconsin
Uniform Building Code requirements for
new residential deck construction will be
enforced. All new decks shall be
constructed in accordance with the 2010
American Forest & Paper Association, Inc.
(AF & PA) prescriptive residential wood
deck construction guide, publication
DCA-6. To view this guide visit

Village-Wide Survey
To assist the Village Board of Trustees and
staff with ongoing and future planning,
policy and operation decisions, a villagewide survey will be conducted this fall.
The survey should be mailed to all
residents in mid-September.
“Understanding resident perceptions
and opinions on both current and future
issues is an important planning tool for
us,” says Village Manager Chris Swartz.
Please watch for your survey in the mail
and return it with your comments.
Members of the Library’s Teen Advisory Board engage in a
lively discussion with Shorewood Librarian Emily Passey.
Shorewood Teens Play Important Role at Library
“TAB is just an
enjoyable way to
be involved in
the community.”
Libraries have historically underserved and sometimes misunderstood teenagers.
They are beyond story hours, but may be in need of a safe, comfortable place
between home and school to access reading and research materials and use
computers.
In 2006, Tiffany Watt, then Shorewood’s young adult librarian, started a Teen
Advisory Board (TAB) to help her make the Library a friendlier place for teenagers.
Since then, TAB members have helped choose new titles for the Young Adult
collection, started a blog that contains book reviews and recommendations, and
hosted author visits, social and craft-related
events. They also have logged many volunteer
hours assisting with other library programs.
Current Young Adult Librarian Emily Passey
thoroughly enjoys working with the young
people. “They are a positive, creative group
to work with,” she says. “I try hard to add new
books to the collection that I know they
will enjoy.”
TAB members Sabine Peterka, Simone
Klemann and Alec Jacobi are all science
fiction/fantasy fans. Lauren Kohlenberg, who
has been on the board for three years, prefers
realistic fiction. All of the students make use of
the Library as a school resource. Kohlenberg
mentioned that the Library has a particularly
good collection of resource material on
different cultures and countries.
TAB welcomes new members from grades
7-12, particularly going into the summer
months when there is a need for more
volunteers at Library events. For more
information on the TAB program, visit the
Library website, mcfls.org/shorewood or
contact Librarian Emily Passey at
414.847.2670.
“TAB is just an enjoyable way to be involved
in the community,” says Kohlenberg.

Instructor Tom Ryan leads participants
of the Pain Management workshop
offered by the Senior Resource Center.
Life Can Be Beautiful Without Pain
If you’re beginning to start the day with a frown, maybe it’s
because of pain. Whether it’s severe, chronic, post-operative or
caused by an injury or fall, as we age most of us experience some
kind of pain. The Shorewood Senior Resource Center is offering a
series of pain management workshops to learn how to deal with
pain and improve daily living, work and leisure activities.
“Pain can highjack our attention,” says workshop instructor Tom
Ryan, retired manager of the Integrated Medicine Program at
Columbia Hospital and currently teaching Tai Chi and Body
Sensing at UWM. “When we’re in pain, we sometimes walk stiffly,
hunch when we sit – even sleep restlessly. These are reflexive,
protective devises, but it’s very possible to learn behavioral skills to
move our attention to what’s comfortable.”
The workshops include a body scan to discern where there is
pain and where there is comfort, focusing on comfort areas,
breathing, relaxation and emotions, which are important to pain
management.
“Positive emotions can affect our bodies in many ways – from
changing heart rhythms, muscle constriction and controlling blood
pressure,” says Ryan.“Other sessions cover how we sit, stand and
walk, learning to pay attention to what we do and how it makes us
feel.”
Workshop participants keep journals to track where they started,
where they are at and where they want to be. “Often when people
strive for perfection with absolutely no pain at all, they’re
disappointed. What we’re aiming for is progress with a goal of less
pain, and less frequent pain. I’m always pleased when I ask my class
if they feel better and the answer is yes,” Ryan explains.
A new series of Pain Management through Body Sensing and
Movement workshops begins on Thursday, May 9, from 9-10 a.m.
and continues for eight consecutive weeks. You may attend the
series or choose the sessions that best fit your interests and needs.
Please contact the SRC at 414.847.2727 for more information.

Lyme Disease
May is Lyme Disease Awareness Month. Spread by the bite of an
infected deer tick, Lyme disease can cause people to become
very ill. Lyme disease can affect the skin, nervous system, heart
and/or joints of an infected person.
Deer ticks are present statewide and Shorewood is no
exception. Areas with significant brush can harbor deer ticks.
If you are in areas where ticks may be present, take the following
precautions to reduce the risk of acquiring Lyme disease:
• Use insect repellents containing 0.5% permethrin or 20-30%
DEET to repel deer ticks. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's
directions on the label.
• Wear a long-sleeved shirt, long pants, and high socks with
pant cuffs tucked into the socks. Light-colored clothing will
make ticks easier to find.
• Walk in the center of mowed trails to avoid brushing up
against vegetation.
• Conduct thorough “tick checks” on yourself, your children, and
pets after spending time in wooded areas. Prompt removal of
ticks, even after they have attached, can drastically reduce the
chance of Lyme disease transmission.
If you have any questions about Lyme disease or need help
identifying a tick, please call the North Shore Health Department
at 414.371.2980.
