Panthers Close Out Dual Season At Green Bay

by E! News by mkepanthers.com Check out more exclusive content from E! News Makeover Week on the network each night at 7p and 11p, and across digital, mobile and social! There’s a reason that celebrities pay professionals to help them with diet and fitness: It’s way easier that way. Seriously. Imagine if you could tap the resources of a wellness expert at the snap of your fingers. (Except you shouldn’t actually snap your fingers, because that’s totally rude.) Regardless, one of the ultimate celebrity luxuries is getting to suck the wisdom out of somebody, especially at this time of year when you have all sorts of grand ideas about how to make yourself over or detox or reset or revamp, yet no clue how to actually embark on that extremely lofty journey. But today, we’re all #blessed enough to be sharing in some of that luxury. Amy Rosoff Davis is, to put it bluntly, a fullon wellness guru. She works with Selena Gomez as her trainer and chef, including getting the star ready for last year’s tour, and all-around detox expert with additional clients like Kristen Bell and Emma Roberts, to name a few. Rosoff Davis is sharing the wealth with E! News, by giving us an exclusive look at her recommended detox diet. Maybe you’re looking to do a whole-self makeover, or maybe you just want to de-bloat from all that extra champagne you consumed from Thanksgiving straight on through...well, today. Of course, Davis has some words of wisdom before anyone looking to get their revenge body or get over a breakup. “Really focus on loving yourself and wanting to be your best self,” she cautions. “That means what you put in you kick-start>>page 4

The Milwaukee swimming & diving teams will close out their dual meet season this Saturday with a 1 pm meet against instate rival Green Bay from Dorschel Natatorium. This will be the second time the two teams have seen each other this season, with both teams on hand at the All-Wisconsin Showcase back in mid-October. The Milwaukee women head into the meet with a perfect 5-0 record in dual meets this season, looking for their first undefeated campaign in program history. The Panther men achieved the same feat just a few years back when they went 10-0 in 2011-12. dual>>page 10

EVENTS kick-start<<page 1 should feel good and be clean, but also delicious. How you take care of your body should feel good because especially after something like a breakup or a baby you want to feel your best. To feel your best you really have to take good care of your body so you are your best self. But once you’ve got the self-love down, it’s time to batten down the hatches and detox. Davis stresses that the most important part of getting prepped for the new year is to eliminate the junk from your system. “This means no caffeine, added sugar (or fake sweeteners), alcohol, gluten, processed oils and butters, red meat, soy, dairy and shellfish,” she says. “And, try to sweat as much as possible during your detox to get rid of toxins. Go to a steam room or sauna or, better yet, get to an infrared sweat lodge. Finally, start your day with hot lemon water to flush your system and aid in digestion.” Now without further ado, let’s get to the recipes—they’re organized by mealtime, but feel free to mix and match however you like. It’s your detox, why not go a little crazy? Breakfast: Rice cake with almond butter and sliced banana and cinnamon. Two hard-boiled eggs with a pinch of salt and 1/2 cup of berries. Avocado and egg toast: Cut up a hard-boiled egg and 1/4 of an avocado. Spread on rice toast or gluten-free toast with a dash of olive oil, salt and chili flakes. Over-medium egg on sautéed Swiss chard: Sauté Swiss chard in olive oil, set aside. In a moderate amount of olive oil, pan fry an egg over medium. Place on Swiss chard. Lightly season with salt and chili flakes. Green Smoothie: spinach, coconut or almond milk, frozen mango and pineapple, one teaspoon of coconut oil. Oatmeal with almonds and berries. Egg Scramble: Sauté one whole egg and one egg white with spinach. Top with 1/4 avocado and side of gluten-free toast. Snacks: Handful of raw almonds and raisins Apple with almond butter Celery with almond butter Veggies and hummus Sliced cucumbers dipped in tahini Cup of bone broth Rice crackers and sliced avocado with chili flakes Lunch: Amy’s Favorite Simple Salad: Greens with lemon, olive oil, yeast flakes, avocado, cucumber, probiotic sauerkraut. Get good organic baby greens and mix with 1/2 lemon, a few splashes of olive oil, a pinch of maldon salt and pepper. Detox Chicken Soup: Bring organic chicken bone broth to a boil in a big pot, then add chopped kale, collard greens, carrots and celery. Turn heat down and let simmer for 5-7 minutes. Tear the white meat off an organic roast chicken and add to soup after the veggies have cooked. Salt and pepper to taste. Brown rice bowl with sautéed greens and tahini dressing.

Student Group Brings Kareem Abdul-jabbar To Milwaukee by Kathy Quirk In the spring of 2016, when Omar Saleh and Firas Hamid of UWM’s Muslim Student Association started discussing a speaker they’d really like to bring to Milwaukee, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was on their dream team. “He is a very prominent Muslim American and has a connection to the city,” said Saleh, a senior in civil engineering and current president of the as-

sociation. At that point, however, the noted activist and former basketball star seemed far beyond their reach and budget. “People said you’ll never be able to get him,” Saleh recalled. “I was very critical at first,” said Hamid, former president of the association and now an adviser, when Saleh first brought up the idea. “It’s not that I didn’t

want him to come, but I thought, ‘Is this realistic?’” Like Saleh, Hamid is a senior, double majoring in marketing and supply chain and operations management. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Kareem Abdul-Jabbar But together the leaders of the association persisted and succeeded. Abdul-Jabbar is set to speak Thursday, March 2, at 7 p.m. at the Milwaukee Theatre, 500 W. Kilbourn Ave., thanks to the work of the Muslim Student Association and support from many others on campus and in the community. The event is focused on UWM students but is being held at downtown because it is expected to attract a large audience from the broader community. “He will draw interest from people of different backgrounds,” Hamid said. “He is so highly respected on many levels – racial, educational, political, religious.” And, of course, there is his basketball career, which started at the professional level here in Milwaukee. (The Milwaukee Theatre is next door to the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena, which was known as the Milwaukee Arena when it was home to Abdul-Jabbar and the Bucks.) Abdul-Jabbar, who spent six seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, including their only NBA championship year, before moving to the Los Angeles Lakers for 14 more years, is the National Basketball Association’s all-time leading

scorer and a six-time NBA champion. The Bucks retired his number, 33, as did the Lakers. However, he has moved beyond sports in the decades since his retirement from basketball in 1989. “In the research I’ve done on him, I’ve come to learn that he has a very long resume for his sports career, but he likes to focus on the intellectual aspects of his life,” Saleh said. “Here’s a quote from his website: ‘I can do more than stuff a ball through a hoop. My greatest asset is my mind.’” His many accomplishments outside of sports include being a regular contributing columnist for Time magazine and Washington Post, an activist, lecturer and New York Times bestselling author. Abdul-Jabbar’s latest book, “Writings on the Wall: Searching for a New Equality Beyond Black and White,” was released last summer, and has been nominated for an NAACP Image Award. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton appointed him U.S. cultural ambassador in 2012, and in November 2016, President Barack Obama awarded him the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Abdul-Jabbar’s Skyhook Foundation supports education, particularly in the STEM fields in underserved communities. The Muslim Student Association thought that Abdul-Jabbar was an ideal person to bring to Milwaukee as an exgroup>>page 9

COMMUNITY SERVICE AT UWM INSPIRES WHITE HOUSE INTERN by Kathy Quirk Craig Wiroll became interested in community service during his days at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, but he never imagined where that interest could take him. “Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d ever be working in the White House,” said Wiroll, who just completed a semester-long internship at the Domestic Policy Council, which coordinates the president’s domestic initiatives. Wiroll, a first-generation student from Sheboygan who earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from UWM, worked for the White House Rural Council, part of the Domestic Policy Council. The Rural Council, established in 2011, handles issues such as working for equal opportunities for youth in rural areas and tribal communities, fighting opioid addiction and making federal grant programs equitable for rural com-

munities. Craig Wiroll worked with the Rural Council, part of the Domestic Policy Council, during his White House internship. (Photo courtesy of Craig Wiroll) Craig Wiroll worked with the Rural Council, part of the Domestic Policy Council, during his White House internship. (Photo courtesy of Craig Wiroll) His path to the White House started with service learning and community engagement opportunities while he was at UWM, Wiroll said. Among the efforts he became involved in were serving as a Big Brother for a student at Hartford University School and volunteering with the Hunger Task Force, Urban Ecology Center, and Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful. Those experiences fueled his interest in public service. After graduation in 2010, he moved to intern<<page 13

His appearance also is a chance to reach out to the public to dispel misinformation about Muslims and their faith, he added. “We want people to learn what our faith is, what we believe and the teachings of Islam. He is able to represent that as someone who is famous and has accomplished so much with his faith as well.” A big challenge The challenge for the student organization – composed of about – was coming up with the tens of thousands of dollars it would take to bring Abdul-Jabbar to Milwaukee. The association, founded in 1998, advocates for UWM Muslim students, provides programs to keep them connected to their faith, and works to teach the campus community about the Islamic creed and Muslim culture. “I’m impressed to see the work that has gone into this…how far we’ve come in bringing him here,” Hamid said. The Muslim Student Association’s leadership reached out to find partners to help support the event, working with groups on and off campus. Co-sponsors and supporters include several groups at UWM – Student Involvement, Sociocultural Programming, Division of Student Affairs, Division of Global Inclusion and Engagement, Campus Activities Board, Athletics, University Recreation and the College of Letters and Sciences’ Cultures & Communities Program – as well as the Islamic Society of Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Muslim Women’s Coalition and the Baye Foundation. In Milwaukee, Abdul-Jabbar will spend about 45 minutes talking about his own journey, and another 45 minutes answering questions. “We want him to discuss his life and experiences and the obstacles he’s faced through his life and some of the values that helped him overcome those obstacles,” said Saleh.

While this is the final action of the regular season for the swimmers, UWM’s divers will be in action one more time before postseason action. League Notice With two weeks left in the regular season, Milwaukee has certainly made its presence known with some of the top performances in the Horizon League this season, with the league office taking note. Seven Panthers have already earned athlete of the week awards a total of 12 times. Here is the complete list so far this season: Oct. 18 – Dakota Skenandore Oct. 25 – Sara Bentley, Jacob Fase Nov. 8 – Carley Thomas Nov. 15 – Sara Bentley, Cassidy Pilo, Dakota Skenandore Dec. 6 – Cassidy Pilo Jan. 17 – Nick Menninga, Dakota Skenandore, Mandie Siehs

Jan. 24 – Sara Bentley Record-Breaking Performances While the fastest times are still yet to come, the Panthers have already taken down a few names from the record board this season. So far, Mandie Siehs topped the 100 freestyle record in 50.02, and Sara Bentley, Shelby Rozeboom, Arica Smith and Siehs combined to set a new top time in the 200 free relay at 1:32.40. Not only that, a pair of Klotsche Natatorium records were also broken this year. Bentley turned in an impressive 100 backstroke time of 56.22 in the home meet against UIC to reset that standard, while the 400 free relay squad of Smith, Emma Helgeson, Danielle Kudis and Siehs topped the pool record at 3:30.66 in the home finale. History Of Success Milwaukee just missed another Horizon League Championship last February

at the league meet, taking second on the women’s side for the third-straight year. In all, UWM has won seven Horizon League titles in swimming & diving in program history. Milwaukee has been crowned league champs on the men’s side four times (1999-2000, 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12) and three times on the women’s side (2000-2001, 2011-12, 2012-13). Additionally, the Panthers have claimed an outstanding 17 team trophies (first or second) at the league meet since the move to Division I in 1990, with 13 of those trophies coming in the last eight years. Back For More Milwaukee had loads of success during last season and a majority of the team returns for the 2016-17 campaign. In fact, Milwaukee broke eight school records a year ago, with six of those record breakers back for more this season. Jacob Barson (100 & 200 breast), Sara Bentley (100 back), Mandie Siehs (50 & 100 free) and Addison Skogman (400 IM) all return in pursuit of more top times this season. A Look Back At Last Year The 2015-16 season was another one for the record books for Milwaukee. Both teams capped the season with outstanding finishes at the Horizon League Championships, bringing home a runner-up trophy on the women’s side. That marks the eighth-straight year the Milwaukee women have brought home a league trophy and the 13th overall in the

last eight years – the amount of time head coach Kyle Clements has been on the coaching staff with the Black & Gold. Individually, the Panthers broke another eight school records last season and an additional six freshman records. Quite a few of those records were broken at the league meet, where Milwaukee won five league titles. Up Next The Milwaukee diving team will head to the annual UIC Diving Invitational Feb. 4, hosted at the same location as this year’s league championships.

MEN’S BASKETBALL SPENDS MORNING IN DETROIT GIVING BACK The Milwaukee men’s basketball team spent the morning and early afternoon of its day off in between games in the state of Michigan giving back, helping prepare and serve lunch at the Detroit Rescue Mission Ministries Christian Guidance Center. The team, coaches and staff joined “Miss Anita� in setting up and serving meals to the nearly 60 clients at the facility on Saturday. According to its website, the DRMM is in its 107th year of continued service providing food, shelter and services to intervene where homelessness and substance addiction occur.

With his passion for working for nonprofits and community agencies, he decided to return to school. He was finishing his master’s degree in public administration at the University of Oregon and had received a local government management fellowship when the opportunity to apply for a White House internship came up. He applied in February 2016, graduated in May and finally got the call for an interview in June. The whole process involved hours and hours of paperwork and careful background checks – “I think they talked to everybody I ever knew or worked with,� he said with a laugh, adding, “I was confident about my skills, and I guess I rocked the interview.� He was raised by a single mother, and he was influenced by his mother, grandmother and other strong women in his life, he said.

In his job, he worked with the more than a dozen agencies that partner with the Domestic Policy Council, including the Environmental Protection Agency, Housing and Urban Development, the Corporation for National and Community Service (which houses his former employer, AmeriCorps) and the departments of Agriculture, Education, and Health and Human Services. He learned about issues including opioid use in rural areas and the up to 80 percent unemployment and high suicide rates on some Indian reservations. “It’s pressure and responsibility and a lot of hard work,� Wiroll said. President Barack Obama’s own work in community organization was an inspiration to him, Wiroll said, and his values align closely with the president he served. However, he believes that the

good work being done by the Domestic Policy Council and Rural Council will continue under the new administration. “The career staff has been working on these problems for decades,� Wiroll said. “The election was unpredictable, but I believe they will make a smooth transition.� During his internship, he got to experience some of those “whoa-I’m-inthe-White-House� moments: playing basketball on the South Lawn, meeting the president, getting a hug from the first lady, meeting Vice President Joe Biden, seeing President Obama and Leonardo DiCaprio discussing climate change just a few feet from him at South by South Lawn, and even watching the first dog, Bo, walk by his office. Being able to give his mom a tour of the White House on her first visit to Washington, D.C., was also a special moment, he says. “To be in that House is pretty amazing.� Now that he’s finished his internship, Wiroll is taking some time off to be an uncle, hanging out with his sister and her young family in Madison. Then, he’ll be looking for “my next big adventure.� His time at the White House helped him discover that he’d like to focus on the local level. “I’ve been looking at the big picture — from the helicopter level – but now I know I’m someone who wants to be on the ground in the community. That’s something I discovered about myself during this internship.�

OPINIONS

TAKE THE HIGH ROAD Many people have been in relationships that seem impossible. They feel trapped and vulnerable. Whether it be financial dependence, kids or a host of other reasons, they feel that divorcing themselves from this situation in a way that doesn’t leave them broken, living in a box under a bridge is simply a dream. Most of the time it is the person’s bad choices that got them in to this predicament so they feel even more despondent. Add to this a partner who is vindictively trying to make their life a living hell and they have a recipe for depression, anger, suicide and a bevy of other states of mind that aren’t the healthiest. There are several ways a person can react to this unbearable situation. The first, and most childish, way to react is retaliation. As a Chinese philosopher once said, “Man who seek revenge better dig two graves.â€? Retaliation has so many downsides that they are too numerous to mention. The most important concept to realize is that you are generally mostly doing this to yourself. The yuck you feel from cheating or breaking things is something that will stay with you much longer than the temporary high you felt attempting to hurt the other person. The universe has a very good way of doling out punishment organically. In other words, what goes around comes around. You must believe this. The important thing is not to be so focused on revenge that you put your goodness on hold. The second, and more preferable, way to deal with this crazy situation is to take the high road. It seems almost impossible when someone is literally spitting in your face, but it is almost always doable. Much as retaliation has negatives too numerous to mention, being honorable has positives too numerous to mention. Taking the high road brings clarity. No longer can your partner blame all their woes on your bad behavior because you are acting calm and rational. They are fighting with themselves when you refuse to partake. Taking the high road proves to yourself that even in times of chaos and uncertainty you can handle yourself with respect and dignity. This helps your decision making and your confidence. Most importantly, if you have done everything you can to do your part in the relationship, you can walk away knowing you tried your best and that you rose above a horrible situation. You can also be confident that you know how to deal with adversity in the future. Your next mate is going to want to find out how you handled the last situation and if it looks childish and ugly they’re going to walk. Handling yourself with class will win the hearts of many future mates‌ at least the quality one’s.
