KEY Milwaukee makes every effort to maintain the accuracy of the information provided, but assumes no responsibility for errors, changes or omissions.

April means more than the first glimpses of spring for Milwaukee County; it means the start of baseball season.

As the Milwaukee Brewers once again bring action and entertainment to Miller Park, the rest of Milwaukee also thrives in the excitement of spring’s arrival.

Downtown Milwaukee celebrates with Gallery Night and Day, a 25-year-old, world-class event featuring more than 50 venues. You also can enjoy everything from opera and dramatic plays to major concerts and improv comedy.

And as we celebrate Earth Day on April 22, there are few better ways to celebrate than by visiting the worldclass Milwaukee County Zoo or one of the county’s award-winning parks.

KEY Milwaukee is a valuable resource for exploring the many activities available this month. No matter what you choose to do in Milwaukee County, I hope you enjoy your time with us.

Sincerely,

The umpire's shout of "Play Ball!" prompts smiles on the faces of Milwaukeeans. We appreciate Major League Baseball for the entertainment and for the economic impact it brings to our region.

The Brewers have provided excitement for decades, and early in the season we all dream this will be our year.

But on-field victories aren’t the only measure of baseball's success in Milwaukee. Brewers Community Foundation is a valuable partner in building a strong future, with its investments in recreation, health, education and basic needs. The Brewers' ownership, its players and fans all contribute to the foundation's work.

Baseball's history runs deep here. Inside a downtown hotel in 1900, the American League was founded. In the 1950s, the Milwaukee Braves became a premier Major League team with greats like Aaron, Mathews, and Spahn.

Our love of baseball is sincere. In city parks, people of all ages put on their gloves, pick up their bats and make Milwaukee a center of America's pastime.

Sincerely,

Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

Tom Barrett, Mayor

Fountain of Youth on the mound as Milwaukee Brewers open 2013

By CHRISTOPHER PEPPAS

IN ONE SIMPLE declarative sentence, Milwaukee Brewers General Manager Doug Melvin signaled a paradigm shift for his ballclub.

“It’s time to see what these young arms can do.”

Melvin now is the popular dad in the neighborhood who gives the keys to the Cadillac to his boys. The somewhat risky move to a youthful pitching lineup was based on a hunch, but the GM got a pretty good idea of what his young pitchers could do after the way they performed in the push at the end of last season.

This year, the Brew Crew will try to return to the top of the National League’s Central Division, where they were in 2011.

The ace of the pitching staff continues to be Yovani Gallardo. Yo punched his ticket to the top with 13 wins in 201 innings, which saw him strike out 203 batters, walking just 72.

8

Marco Estrada, Mike Fiers, Chris Narveson (back from rotator-cuff surgery) and Wily Peralta are expected to be nailing down the rest of Manager Ron Roenicke’s starting rotation. Behind them should be even more young pitchers, like Mark Rogers and Tyler Thornburg, both of whom had successful stints with the Crew in 2012.

Departed are the older arms of Zack Greinke, Randy Wolf and Shaun Marcum, making room for the youth movement and the leaner payroll that comes with it.

Talking about his younger teammates, veteran Gallardo comments, “They had opportunities to show what they could do in key situations and did a great job. I think (the rotation) we’re in a pretty good spot.”

The bullpen also underwent a makeover of sorts.

Lefthanders Tom Gorzelanny and Mike Gonzalez came to the party from the Washington Nationals as the Crew said farewell to Francisco Rodriguez, Kameron Loe and Manny Parra.

A closer-coiffed John Axford again will be called on to seal the deal in the ninth inning as the closer.

Axford, known to fans as the Axe-man, hopes to regain the consistency he displayed during 2011.

Ryan Braun is once again the face of the franchise and the team’s best player. The perennial All-Star left fielder hit .305 with 34 homers and 108 RBI and scored 101 runs last season.

Carlos Gomez will cover the acreage in center field with the speed and deceptive power that was on display last year.

Melvin’s gem of an acquisition, Norichika Aoki, is where he left off in right field and at the top of the batting order. Aoki turns each appearance at bat from a sprint into a marathon, making him one of the top leadoff men in the game.

Aramis Ramirez will anchor the hot corner at third and hopes to come out of the blocks a little faster than in his debut last season. Ramirez’s power at the plate was no surprise, but his defensive prowess was a most-welcome addition.

Jean Segura, acquired from the Los Angeles Angels, has secured his place at shortstop based on his play since arriving in town. Second base will be covered

by Brewers veteran Rickie Weeks, who came on strong at the plate during the second half of 2012.

Backstop duties are covered nicely by the steady Jonathan Lucroy with Martin Maldonado.

The big question mark for the roster is at first base.

Corey Hart had knee surgery and will not appear

again at first until well into the 2013 season. His heir-apparent, Mat Gamel, re-tore his ACL on the first days of the Cactus League and has been lost for the year.

It now appears that veteran infielder Alex Gonzalez (coming off knee surgery also) will be the morethan-adequate placeholder until Hart gets back.

The omnipresent St. Louis Cardinals, rival Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh Pirates and Cincinnati Reds will wrestle the Brewers for supremacy in the National League Central Division again this year.

At this point, it’s anybody’s game.

If the young arms on the mound for the Brewers hold up for the rigors of a full campaign, there is no reason why the Brewers won’t be in contention as the calendar pages turn toward October.

A full listing of all April games is on page 46 of this issue. As usual, there are a lot of early-season specials and promotions for fans at Miller Park, recognized as one of the most fan-friendly ballparks in baseball.

LOCATED NORTH of Milwaukee on the Lake Michigan shoreline, Port Washington has always offered a picturesque taste of New England.

A stroll through downtown Port Washington reveals a thriving charter fishing industry, first class marina, historic buildings and a variety of dining options.Visitors returning to Port Washington will notice a renewed Franklin Street, with new sidewalks and year-round planters.

There are new shopping options, including charming boutiques and art galleries. Duluth Trading Company, a Wisconsin-based company, selected the former Smith Bros. restaurant site for their second location. The expansive store opened in 2012 and is a regional draw for fans of the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s apparel.

But there are additional signs of revitalization.

Developers are renovating several buildings into complexes that will combine apartment and/or condos with commercial space.

Two other downtown buildings are being restored into the Port Washington Historical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offices and a museum. The museum, which will include a focus on maritime history, is slated to open in fall 2013.

A new park along the harbor at the south end of downtown will take advantage of Port Washingtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lake views. The park will spring from the coal-barge piers that once served the WE Energies power plant. See VisitPortWashington.com.

Visit jaguar cubs at Milwaukee County Zoo B'ALAM AND ZEAN are the newly named baby jaguars at the Milwaukee County Zoo.

One of the names of the 4-month-old cubs was chosen from over 1,300 entries in a public contest and the other was chosen by schoolchildren in Belize. The name B’alam, the Mayan word for jaguar meaning “great and powerful king," won the public contest, while the students in Belize chose the name Zean, the last few letters of “Belizean.”

The Belizean schoolchildren previously coauthored a book with Milwaukee-area students called Pat the Great Cat, A Jaguar's Journey, that tells the life story of the cubs' father. Pat is a wild-born jaguar from Belize.

The new zoo residents were born Nov. 13, the first litter for parents Stella and Pat and the only jaguars born at the zoo since 1975.

The cubs can be viewed on a live video stream showing in the Florence Mila Borchert Family Big Cat Country or accessed at the link that follows.

The cubs’ father, Pat, not only brings new genes to the captive jaguar population, but serves as an ambassador to the wild population and to

the conservation of the species. At about 14 years old, Pat has adapted extremely well to his zoo surroundings and now has the added success of siring offspring.

Zookeepers go in with the cubs for regular weighing and health checks, and also to socialize the cubs to human presence. This is not to be confused with hand-rearing, and is not intended to change the animals’ behavior. The goal is to get the cubs accustomed to human smell and presence, and associate people with positive interactions. It also allows for frequent health checks during the most vulnerable time of their lives.

The cubs’ natural behaviors include pouncing, chasing and playing. Play is considered an important behavior in order for the cubs to grow and develop, both mentally and physically.

One of the most respected zoos in the country, the zoo is located at 10001 W. Bluemound Rd. Hours through May 24 are 9:30-4:30 p.m. daily.

Art in Bloom ushers in spring April 11–14 GET A JUMP START on spring at “Art in Bloom,” the annual tribute to art and flowers at the Milwaukee Art Museum, April 11–14.

The inspiration for this year’s event is the museum’s 125th anniversary celebration as well as its featured exhibition, Color Rush: 75 Years of Color Photography in America.

Showcasing the talents of more than 45 renowned floral designers from across the Midwest, Art in Bloom brings together gardening, floral arranging, and landscape design, inspired by the art beneath the wings of the museum and throughout the galleries. The event also includes lectures, seminars, and activities for both experienced and novice gardeners.

“Art in Bloom is a festive community event that not only immerses you in beauty, but also provides you with an opportunity to enhance your floral and gardening know-how,” said Daniel Keegan, director of the Milwaukee Art Museum. “With guest appearances by celebrity floral designers and master gardeners Neil Whittaker, Ron Morgan, Jill Bedford, Melinda Meyers and James Walczak, visitors will discover a variety of ideas to use at home this season.”

In addition to daily lectures and programs around gardening and horticulture, the event includes a marketplace for shopping, a wine tent, and children’s activities in the Kohl’s Education Center.

“This is one of the most beautiful, familyfriendly events of the year,” said Keegan. “I encourage everyone to take in the sights and smells of Art in Bloom this year.”

28

A complete schedule of lectures, events, and ticket information can be found at mam.org/bloom. Daily museum admission is $15 adult/$5 Member, Thursday through Sunday. As always, children age 12 and under receive free admission. Programs requiring tickets and reservations are noted.

Art in Bloom is presented by PNC, with additional support by the Milwaukee Art Museum Garden Club, CDI- Center for Diagnostic Imaging, International Autos Group, Kanavas Landscape Management , Landworks Landscape Services, Milaeger’s Garden Bistro and Barbara Strecker.

Celebrating its 125th anniversary in 2013, the Milwaukee Art Museum collection houses more than 30,000 works, with strengths in 19th- and 20th-century American and European art, contemporary art, American decorative arts, and folk and self-taught art. The museum campus on the shores of Lake Michigan spans three buildings, including the Santiago Calatravadesigned Quadracci Pavilion and the Eero Saarinen-designed Milwaukee County War Memorial Center.

Located at 700 N. Art Museum Dr., the museum is open 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tues.-Sun., with extended hours until 8 p.m. on Thursdays.

Check out KEY’s online Family Fun for kid-friendly outings LIZ RUSSELL, mother of a baby son and toddler daughter, writes Family Fun, an online exclusive of KEY Milwaukee. Liz’s insights on what’s happening each month in Metro Milwaukee and what is truly “family friendly,” as well as archived features, can be found at keymilwaukee.com.

Her recent” Pick of the Month” column explores how families can enjoy the Milwaukee Art Museum. We think the following excerpt will aid parents who decide to visit at any time of the year.

“…I’ll admit, I hadn’t been there in years and felt skeptical about its kid-friendliness. After all, little kids don’t typically mesh well with priceless works of art. But I was thrilled to find endless creative outlets for children at the art museum.

“The highlight for our family was the Kohl’s Art Generation Studio, a setting similar to a very nice art classroom, with pods of tables lined in brown craft paper.

“The next hot spot? The Kohl’s Art Generation Gallery, which brought to life many well-known animated films and offered a way for kids to physically engage with them.

“Once we left the Kohl’s Art Generation area, which is clearly kid orientated, I thought my children would be bored silly as my husband and I cruised through the galleries. But they weren’t.

At different times, my kids requested (or grunted) that we stop so they could examine a sculpture. My daughter even asked questions about what she was seeing. We talked about art!

And days later, she’s still talking about it.

“But the biggest surprise for me was how comfortable I felt being at an art museum—a place I associate with being quiet and not touching anything—with two very young children, and just how much the museum strives to engage the inner artist in every age group.”

On the offense, the Bucks are led by guards Brandon Jennings and Manta Ellis and a strong bench.

See real pirate gold, artifacts at Milwaukee Public Museum REAL PIRATES, a National Geographic exhibition featuring treasures from the only authenticated pirate shipwreck found in U.S. waters, will be a top destination for families through May 27 at the Milwaukee Public Museum.

The touring exhibition separates fact from fiction about the pirate trade and gives visitors glimpses into the lives of pirates through artifacts, hands‐on activities, captivating re‐creations, enactors portraying crew members, and a fascinating exploration of underwater archaeology.

The Whydah was located by underwater explorer Barry Clifford in 1984. Clifford is still actively excavating the wreck site and continues to bring treasures to the surface every year.

Visitors learn the captivating true story of the Whydah, one of the most successful pirate ships of the Golden Age of Piracy, from its roots as a slave ship to its takeover and conversion into a pirate ship in the early 1700s.

In addition to displaying centuries‐old artifacts, the exhibition includes hands‐on activities where visitors can raise a pirate flag, tie real sailors' knots, touch real pirate treasure, and look through a telescope to find ships with treasure on board. Visitors also can walk through a re‐creation of the Whydah, explore the roles of the different members of her crew and ask questions of pirate re-enactors strolling through the exhibition.

Real Pirates tickets include both admission to the special exhibit and to the Milwaukee Public Museum’s outstanding permanent exhibit galleries.Ticket prices are $24 for adults MondayThursday; $26 for adults Friday- Sunday; $17.50 for children Monday-Thursday and $18.50 for children Friday-Sunday.

50

The exhibition is open from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. daily, with extended hours every Thursday until 8 p.m.

The last entry is 60 minutes prior to closing on all dates. Visit www.mpm.edu for information about the exhibition.

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

Rodizio Grill A great slice of Brazilian cuisine RODIZIO Grill is carving out a little piece of Brazil (make that big slice) on Water Street in downtown Milwaukee.

Opened late last year by the Oshkosh-based Supple Group, Rodizio Grill brings authentic Brazilian cuisine to the space at 777 N. Water St., previously occupied by Brazilian Steakhouse Sabor.

Rodizio Grill is America’s first Brazilian steakhouse, or Churrascaria, originating in Colorado in 1995.

Founder Ivan Utrera brought this popular Brazilian concept, along with cherished family recipes, from his hometown of São Paulo, Brazil. Today, Rodizio Grill brings fun and fascinating food to 12 locations, in 10 states.

Rodizio Grill’s menu features three-foot skewers of unlimited meats, expertly seasoned and carved 58

tableside. Unlimited appetizers, over 30 gourmet salads and a wide variety of homemade desserts make for an unforgettable dining experience.

During April, Rodizio Grill celebrates a special Wild Game Fest during dinner hours. Along with the usual outstanding meats, diners can try rattlesnake sausage, antelope, bison chili and kurobuta (Japanese wild boar).

There are two menu options: The Full Rodizio with a variety of unlimited rotisserie grilled meats, glazed pineapple, salad bar, and appetizers, or the Unlimited Salad Bar, which includes Rodizio appetizers. The incredibly friendly and knowledgeable staff guides you through a meal that begins the moment you are seated, making this a great choice for those attending a theater, concert or other special event.

Appetizers brought to your table include Banana Frita (cinnamon-glazed bananas), polenta served in tasty sticks and Pao de Queijo, Brazilian cheese bread made with yucca flour and cheese.

The choice of beverages beguiles! Rodizio limeade is made with limes and cream, while Ubatuba Guarana, a naturally flavored premium soda features guarana, a berry grown in the Amazon region and Brazil's traditional soft drink. On the alcoholic side, it’s hard to resist the Caipirinha, Brazil's national cocktail. Made with cachaça and limes, the liquor component tastes like a rum and tequila hybrid, with a smooth agave finish. There are other tempting cocktails, extensive wine list and beers from Fox River Brewing Company. Rodizio also offers Happy Hour on Monday through Friday, from 3-6 p.m.

For those with dietary limitations in your party, the salad bar offers (mostly) gluten free items and great vegetarian options.

Add hot items such as Brazilian black bean pork stew and chicken or beef stroganoff to the fresh glazed and grilled pineapple served from skewers, and the salad bar option becomes truly thrilling (and filling).

But the endless meats – slow roasted, cut to personal preference for doneness then sliced thin – are meltingly tender. Servers bring approximately eight selections at lunch, and 16 at dinner. Options at lunch and dinner include beef tenderloin and top

sirloin, as well as Brazilian sausage and sweet and spicy chicken covered in a flavorful sauce. At dinner, diners are treated to sirloin with parmesan cheese, roasted leg of lamb, daily fish selection and a daily skewered meat selection.

Desserts (for those who have saved a bit of room) include Brazilian caramel flan, Brazilian lime pie with meringue and crème brulee.

Rodizio Grill is open every day for lunch and dinner and features a special brunch at 11 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays, as well as a variety of additional specials Monday through Thursday. Valet parking is available after 5:30 p.m. More information is available at 414-431-3106 or rodiziogrill.com/milwaukee-located-downtown
