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

Welcome to Milwaukee where March Madness means a lot of things in 2014. Basketball fans will be here en masse for the 2nd and 3rd round games of the NCAA Division I basketball tournament at the BMO Harris Bradley Center.

The Milwaukee Bucks provide NBA action all month, the Milwaukee Wave shoots for another national indoor soccer crown and, if that isn’t enough, the Milwaukee Brewers open the Major League baseball season March 31 at Miller Park.

Let’s not forget that March also means St. Patrick’s Day. Milwaukee honors its rich Irish heritage at the 48th annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

As the weather starts to warm up, reintroduce yourself to the outdoors in our National Gold Medal Winning Park System. Go for a walk, a bike ride or maybe even tee off at one our beautiful golf courses.

Milwaukee County has something to offer everyone.

Enjoy your visit.

Sincerely,

Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

While ice accumulates along Milwaukee's lakefront, the Port of Milwaukee remains active in cold weather months.

Cargo still moves by water.

Vast amounts of deicing salt transit the Port, and supplies are replenished in January and February. Barge traffic continues year-round, carrying cargo into the Mississippi River system.

Oceangoing ships rely on the St. Lawrence Seaway, but for several months that passage closes. Those vessels return in spring, carrying raw materials to Milwaukee and finished products to overseas markets.Trucks come and go from the Port, and two rail lines continue service too.

Huge ore carriers winter in Milwaukee's inner harbor.

Extensive work is completed on those ships, readying them for another season on the Great Lakes.

Milwaukee's Port rarely slows down, even in the coldest times of the year.

Sincerely,

Tom Barrett, Mayor

Key COVER FEATURE

LOOK AHEAD TO GREENER DAYS at Greater Milwaukee Golf Show FOR THREE DAYS THIS MONTH, golfers can do more than dream about birdies, bogeys and warm, sunny weather.

The Greater Milwaukee Golf Show March 14-16 at the Expo Center of Wisconsin State Fair Park offers thousands of golfers the opportunity to look ahead to days when there are leaves on the trees and greens are not white.

“The show is my avenue to promote the game of golf and keep it as healthy as possible,” says Jay Royle, president of Royle LLC, which publishes Midwest Golfing Magazine and operates the Milwaukee show and the Greater Madison Golf Show held in February.

6

The Milwaukee show offers a blend of exhibits and demonstration areas, appealing to golfers of all ages and skill levels. Leading manufacturers of golf clubs and equipment are represented, along with top golf courses from throughout Wisconsin and other states. Attendees also can test their skills, compete for an array of prizes and receive

free instruction from top golf professionals.

The popular indoor driving range and putting green areas are enhanced this year by sand traps, with professionals again on hand to give tips on how to successfully emerge from those hated hazards.

As usual, no one walks away empty handed from this show. The first 1,000 attendees each day receive a sleeve of new Project(a) TaylorMade golf balls. All show-goers receive the Golf Show issue of Midwest Golfing Magazine, a free round at one of six Milwaukee County Courses or a discounted round at the county’s highly rated Brown Deer. Attendees also can sign up for a one-year subscription to either Golf Digest or Golf World.

Drawings throughout the three days provide Golf Show “Bucks” where an attendee can win money to spend at the show. Other hourly door prizes include rounds of golf from exhibiting courses and the grand prize: an all-inclusive, five-night vacation for four at the Breezy Point Resort 140 miles north of Minneapolis.

By showcasing all aspects of golf, this show attracts the next generation of players while it inspires longtime golfers. The demonstration areas, with top instructors, provide an opportunity for experienced golfers to improve their skills, and for young attendees to learn the basics of the game.

Major sponsors of the show include Milwaukee County Parks, Jack Safro’s Lexus North Shore and Brookfield, TaylorMade Golf and Breezy Point Resort.

The Expo Center is at 640 S. 84th St. Show hours are 1-8 p.m. Friday, March 14; 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, March 15, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, March 16.

Admission is $10 at the gate, with kids under 12 free when accompanied by an adult.

Because of construction on I-94, pay close attention to detour signs or check with this web link: http://projects.511wi.gov/web/zoo-interchangeproject.

St. Patrick’s Day Parade steps off March 15

THERE’S ONE ETHNIC group that everyone joins this month. The whole town “turns green” during the week preceding March 17, with highlights that include the 48th Shamrock Club St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Saturday, March 15.

Milwaukee’s celebration actually began with a parade in 1843 before incorporation of the city, ranking it among the oldest in the U.S.

The 2014 parade starts at noon at the Shops of Grand Avenue, Old World 3rd Street and W. Wisconsin Avenue. It follows Wisconsin Avenue east to Plankinton, north on Plankinton to Kilbourn Avenue, west on Kilbourn to Old World 3rd, north to Juneau Avenue, east to Water Street, then south to end at Highland Avenue.

The Friends of St. Patrick-Milwaukee Chapter and the Ancient Order of Hibernians, in partnership with the Hunger Task Force, will collect non-perishable food items donated by spectators at the parade.

Along the parade route, lift a glass at Trinity•Three Irish Pubs and cross the “Irish Intersection” to the Harp. Many other spots downtown also plan postparade parties.

County Clare Irish Inn & Pub, 1234 N. Astor St., has years of experience celebrating and holds the title for selling more Guinness Stout than anywhere else in the state. Live entertainment and revelry run there on March 17 from 10 a.m. until 10 p.m.

MillerCoors is sponsoring free bus service on all Milwaukee routes March 17, 6 p.m. until the end of regular service. 1-800-FREE-RIDES, 1-800-373-3743, or www.MillerLiteFreeRides.com.

On St. Patrick’s Day, Monday, March 17, Trinity•Three Irish Pubs, 125 E. Juneau Ave., will open at the traditional 6 a.m. The three-pub location will connect with the Harp, 113 E. Juneau Ave., via a tent that will cross a closed-off Edison Street to join the two businesses. On Milwaukee’s East Side (near UW-Milwaukee) the Black Rose hosts an all-day bash with live music. (Trinity•Three Irish Pubs also gets the nod as our Restaurant of the Month for March.)

Folk art is focus of exhibition

NEARLY SIX HUNDRED objects of folk and selftaught art, from duck decoys and quilts to the work of Grandma Moses, are on view through May 4 at the Milwaukee Art Museum in Uncommon Folk: Traditions in American Art.

This whimsical installation of American paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, textiles, furniture, and decorative arts draws from the museum’s celebrated collection.

“The exhibition highlights the breadth and depth of the Milwaukee Art Museum’s world-class collection of American folk and self-taught art, from paintings and photographs to walking sticks and quilts,” said Director Daniel Keegan. “This eclectic grouping of American folk and self-taught art is a demonstration of the museum’s long history of collecting works by untrained creators.”

Margaret Andera, exhibition curator, said, “Some of the works included were created within the cultural traditions of a particular geographic area in the United States. Other traditions are rooted in the function of an object, such as duck decoys and walking sticks, and are represented by both historical and contemporary examples.”

Keegan noted, “Thanks to the museum’s rich holdings, Uncommon Folk: Traditions in American Art is able to overview the far-reaching variety in folk and self-taught art through a lively and visually compelling installation that has something for all ages,” said Keegan.

Uncommon Folk: Traditions in American Art is presented by the Caxambas Foundation and International Autos Group.

The museum, located at 700 N. Art Museum Dr., is open Tuesday–Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Thursdays until 8 p.m. Admission is $17/adults; $14/students, seniors, and active military; and free for members and for children age 12 and under.

The first Thursday of each month is Target Free First Thursday and admission is free for individuals (does not apply to groups).

Key RESTAURANTS OF THE MONTH

TRINITY • THREE IRISH PUBS TRINITY • THREE IRISH PUBS is exactly that – a trio of connected restaurant/bars at 125 E. Juneau Ave. Visit Foy’s, Gallagher’s and Duffy’s and you will find three distinct pubs. Each has its own unique environment that mirrors a particular kind of pub you might visit in Ireland. Trinity opens its doors every day during the work week at 11 a.m. and at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday for Irish Breakfast.

Foy’s décor includes framed prints, dark woodwork, and stained glass with Celtic symbols. A four-sided bar is at the center of Foy’s, with comfy booths arranged around it. Settle in here, and you may never want to leave! Signposts in the corner spell out information in English and the Irish language (Gaeilge)…just as you would see in Ireland.

A hallway, called Trinity Way, connects the middle pub Gallagher’s, to the other two pubs. The walls of Trinity Way recall the artfully stacked “dry stone masonry” that is a treasured memory for every visitor to Ireland. Gallagher’s is the spot for live music.

Unique to Gallagher’s is the Jameson Bar, sporting rows of bottles of the famed Irish whiskey.

Step into Duffy’s and you’ll swear you’ve been transported to the Emerald Isle. This intimate space, with bookshelves filled with leather volumes and a corner fireplace, has a patina that seems decades old.

The outdoor dining season is a couple of months away in Milwaukee, but the patio’s gorgeous stone walls still greet visitors to Trinity • Three Irish Pubs.

The building’s colorful, painted exterior and the Celtic-style lettering on the signs transform the corner of Juneau Avenue and Edison Street into a Dublin intersection.

The regular menu at Trinity • Three Irish Pubs features dishes that highlight classic Irish ingredients like Guinness Stout and salmon. Other menu items

might be featured at a pub in Ireland, shepherd’s pie and fish and chips. That staple of U.S. celebrations of St. Patrick’s Day (corned beef) has been creatively incorporated into a number of dishes.

Sample it in Reuben rolls, and Sham’s Irish nachos.

The nachos pile thick cut homemade potato chips with cheddar cheese, corned beef, scallions and Thousand Island sour cream sauce. Salads include a grilled chicken Caesar and strawberry pecan salad. The sandwich board features a stacked club, Pot Roast Sandwich, Molly’s Chicken Sandwich and pub cheeseburger.

Weekends, a special brunch menu is served 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Options include the breakfast you would find in an Irish guesthouse. Come hungry to enjoy two fried eggs served with Irish bacon, sausage, Trinity potatoes, roasted tomato and toast.

Or, try an Irish take on two brunch favorites – smoked salmon Benedict or Bailey’s French toast.

Other options include corned beef hash or ham and white cheddar omelet. Need an eye-opener of the alcoholic variety? We recommend the fabulous Bloody Mary. Trinity’s version includes a splash of Guinness.

While draft beers here include Guinness, Harp, Smithwicks and Strongbow, local brew-heads would advise the sampling of Water Street Brewery Beers as well – ask what beers by this local micro brewer are available.

This wouldn’t be a true Irish gathering place without live music. Popular local acts are featured at 10:30 p.m. every Friday and Saturday, and during March even more is planned (see our page 17).

Regular hours are 11 a.m. to bar close Monday through Friday and10 a.m.-bar close on Saturday and Sunday. For more information, phone 414-278-7033 or visit trinitythreeirishpubs.com.
