Welcome to Milwaukee County and all we have to offer, from our award-winning parks to our nationally recognized zoo.

Every season is wonderful in Wisconsin, but summertime is when things really come alive.

Our popular festival season kicks off with Polish Fest at Maier Festival Park. Summerfest, the world’s largest music festival, follows in the weeks after that. This year’s lineup once again offers up something for every kind of musical taste.

For a different kind of art, the Lakefront Festival of Art features 170 jury-selected artists from across the nation. It’s been named one of the top 25 art festivals in the country and is a great opportunity to enjoy the Lakefront and the Milwaukee Art Museum.

Warmer weather also offers a great opportunity to take advantage of our gorgeous Milwaukee County parks; from golf courses to bike and hiking paths to sun-filled picnic areas and Lake Michigan beaches.

Please make sure to enjoy what Milwaukee County has to offer. You, your family and friends will be glad you did.

Sincerely,

Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

The summer sun shines brightly on Milwaukee, and, in this city, we get out and celebrate when the weather is warm.

From our lakefront festivals to neighborhood gatherings, the people of Milwaukee have plenty of options to enjoy the season. And visitors are always welcomed!

Milwaukee’s history is filled with stories of people joining in social events. Various groups of Native people gathered in Milwaukee long before Europeans set foot here. Successive waves of immigrants brought their own celebrations, and nowadays, Milwaukee’s ethnic festivals continue the tradition.

The city’s natural assets provide some of the best locations for summer celebrations. Our Lake Michigan shoreline, our rivers and our renowned park system are all venues for community events. Our investments in festival grounds, RiverWalks, and park amenities add even more life to warm weather events.

When you’re in Milwaukee, be sure to join the locals at one of our great spring and summer celebrations!

Sincerely, Tom Barrett, Mayor

Key COVER FEATURE

Polish Fest celebrates with fun and culture FOR THE 32nd YEAR, Polish Fest kicks off Milwaukee’s unique series of summer ethnic festivals June 14-16 at Maier Festival Park (Summerfest grounds) on Lake Michigan.

Recognized as the largest celebration of Polish culture in the U.S., the three-day festival features music, dance and food. Hours of the festival are noon to midnight Friday and Saturday and noon to 8 p.m.

Sunday.

At 10:30 p.m. on Saturday night, the “Big Boomski” 8

presented by Planners Financial Group, LLC, brings fabulous fireworks to the lakefront.

Non-stop music

Participation is the name of the game at the Non-Stop Polka stage, with groups like Buffalo Concertina AllStars from New York, the Polka Country Musicians from Connecticut and The Polka Family Band from Pennsylvania.

Headlining the Miller Contemporary Stage are popular groups like Jimmy Sturr and his Orchestra from

New York and John Gorá & Gorále from Canada.

Performers on the Sobieska Vodka Cultural Stage include the Syrena & Syrenka Polish Folk Dance Ensemble, Polanie & Wislanie Dance Ensembles and Lajkonik Song & Dance Ensemble. Also firing up the audience will be Firebeat.

The Children’s Stage keeps youngsters busy with top acts like Polish Falcons Tumbling Troop and Julie Sobanski, Princess of Magic.

Great food, vodka tastings,Tyskie Beer

More than 20 different restaurants are represented at the festival, offering ethnic specialties like Polish sausage; pierogi made of meat, cheese and potato; potato pancakes and hunter’s stew. Well-known Milwaukee restaurants like Old World Deli and Mader’s will be represented, with others like Saz’s State House providing variety.

Tyskie beer, shipped to Milwaukee from Poland, quenches festgoers’ thirst through a cooperative arrangement with MillerCoors. Polish Fest is the only ethnic festival to directly import beer for its event. Some of Poland’s finest vodkas, including Sobieski, as well as meads and liqueurs, tantalize at tastings. These ethnic specialties also will be available for purchase throughout the festival. At cooking demonstrations, expert cooks will prepare Polish favorites.

Cultural delights

At Polish Fest’s popular Cultural Village, artists demonstrate traditional crafts including woodcarving, paper cutting (wycinanki), decorating eggs (pisanki) and metalworking. Polish painters display their work in a market square.

Back again are Polish Sheepdogs, including Highland (Tatra). Experts from the Polish Genealogical Society of America help visitors trace their roots.

At the Polish Forum, local historians speak about Polish related history in Milwaukee and abroad.

At the Sukiennice or outdoor marketplace, tempting treasures for purchase include beautiful amber jewelry, Boleslawiec pottery, blown glass ornaments, Polish crystal, hand-carved wooden boxes and many festival souvenirs.

The 15th Annual Chopin Youth Piano Competition will be held on Sunday from 5-9:30 p.m. and provides a unique performance opportunity for talented young pianists to showcase the music of Poland's beloved composer.

Second Milwaukeean of Polish heritage makes name on tennis circuit

By ROGER A. STAFFORD KEY Milwaukee managing editor MILWAUKEE IS REPRESENTED on the international tennis circuit today by a scrappy player of Polish descent, just as it was 75 years ago when the son of immigrant parents rose to No. 1 in the world.

At 25 and in his eighth season as a professional tennis player, Tim Smyczek is a scrappy singles player who has surprised higher-ranked professionals in top tournaments in the US and around the world.

At about the same age in the early 1930s, Frank (Frankie) Parker (born Franciszek Andrzej Pajkowski in Milwaukee) was moving up rapidly in the then completely amateur tennis ranks, having been described as a “shy, spindly-legged kid who shagged balls” at the old Town Club on Milwaukee’s East Side.

Parker went on to be ranked among the top 10 tennis players in the world for more than a decade and was one of few Americans to win both the French (1948, 1949). and U.S. Championships (1944, 1945). The only title to elude Parker was Wimbledon, yet the Daily Telegraph of London ranked him #1 in the world in 1948.

Today, Smyczek, whose family lives in Hales Corners, Wis., plays in a completely professional world with outstanding athletes from countries that didn’t exist in Parker’s day. Although the depth of the competition is far greater, Smyczek shows the same dedication to the game Parker did when he represented Milwaukee throughout the world.

This year Smyczek is making his presence known in the major league of tennis, the ATP Circuit. With wins over higher-ranked players like 6-10 Ivo Karolovic in the Australian Open and Fernando Verdasco (then 24th in the world) in San Jose, Calif., Smyczek now gets support from fans who call him “Smee.” Recently, he signed a new, allimportant clothing contract with up-and-coming Athletic DNA. 38

Practice paying off for touring Milwaukee pro Smyczek competing at BNP Paribas Open

Interviewed during the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, earlier this year, Smyczek attributed recent success to new coach Billy Heiser.

“We work well together and have made adjustments to my game and mentality,” said Smyczek, adding that the changes involved match strategy as well as the style of his game.

Watching him practice on the hard courts of Indian Wells, his intensity and physical fitness are evident.

At 5-9 and 145 pounds, quickness is essential against opponents who are often much taller and stronger. It’s not surprising that he calls his secondround loss in the Australian Open this year one of his “most enjoyable matches” because his opponent, Spaniard David Ferrar, rose to be one of the world’s top five players despite being the same height and weight as Smyczek.

Ferrer lost his first set in the Australian Open to Smyczek, before winning in four sets and advancing to the semifinals where he lost to the eventual champion and #1 player in the world, Novak Djokovic.

What’s ahead for Milwaukee’s representative on the tennis circuit? Smyczek hopes to play in as many ATP tournaments as he can, often fighting into the main draw through grueling qualifying

matches. Expect to see his name also in Challenger tournaments, which he has won twice.

Smyczek is six years younger than Ferrar, who continues to enjoy the best years of his career. Admitting that he has had no â&#x20AC;&#x153;epiphanyâ&#x20AC;? about what he may do after tennis, Smyczek says right now he just wants â&#x20AC;&#x153;to continue playing tennis.â&#x20AC;?

Tennis Hall of Fame member Frankie Parker, who died in 1997, undoubtedly felt the same way.

Milwaukee County public tennis courts

PUBLIC TENNIS COURTS in Metro Milwaukee are abundant and usually available during daytime hours.

Near the downtown area are McKinley Park at 1750 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr. and Lake Park, 3233 E. Kenwood Blvd. For a full listing of available courts visit county.milwaukee.gov/tennis8433.htm.

Tips for visitors headed to Miller Park to watch the Brewers MILWAUKEE’S Miller Park, home of the Milwaukee Brewers, is rated as one of the best in baseball by sportswriters and sportscasters and by fans.

But unlike some Major League stadiums, it is a few minutes driving time from downtown and not within walking distance of major hotels.

Here are a few tips for first-time visitors and even returning fans:

Leave the driving to others

Many hotels and restaurants in downtown Milwaukee and surrounding communities provide shuttles to and from home games.

Two of the most popular downtown Milwaukee shuttles depart from The Milwaukee Brat House, 1013 N. Old World 3rd St., and Trinity•Three Irish Pubs, 125 E. Juneau Ave. Both of the restaurants provide free shuttles to all home games and are well worth a stop before and after.

Closer to Miller Park is a restaurant that has been shuttling fans to Brewers games since the team arrived in town and played in the old County Stadium. Saz’s State House at 5539 W. State St. is close enough to the stadium to provide a quick getaway for fans in a hurry to return home or to their hotel. Many fans, however, linger at Saz’s to replay the action.

Packers Bucks Badgers

Avoid traffic backups

While most drivers arrive at Miller Park via exits from I-94, savvy fans have learned to slip in smoothly by using Canal Street.

Best known as the location of Potawatomi Bingo Casino, Canal Street is reached by driving south from downtown on N. 6th Street. Turn west on Canal Street at the Harley-Davidson Museum for a quick and easy entry into the Miller Park lot.

For the best seats

You can expect many sold-out games this season at Miller Park. But choice seats can still be had if you check TheTicketKing.com or visit the respected Milwaukee-based ticket company at 751 N. Broadway.

THE HARP

LOUISE’S

NORTHPOINT CUSTARD

58

BEANIE’S in the heart of Historic Port Washington, has been serving great Mexican food and unique experiences for more than 25 years.

The restaurant at 102 E. Grand Ave. is a few short blocks from Port’s picturesque Lake Michigan marina. Relax in the spacious patio and check out the famous “swing seating” at the cantina/bar inside.

THE HARP is famous for its patio and location overlooking the Milwaukee River, but a brand new deck makes this an even better spot to relax with a perfectly poured Guinness and a butter burger. Or, swing by for “Sunday Rehab,” including live entertainment and drink specials. You’ll discover why there has been a tavern at this address, 113 E. Juneau Ave., since the 1860s.

LOUISE’S, at 801 N. Jefferson St., is in the heart of downtown Milwaukee. The patio offers great views of Cathedral Square Park by day and by night. We love the people watching here anytime.

But, this is a great place to savor a Bloody Mary on summer Saturdays when East Town Market adds to the fun. Weekend brunch begins at 10 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

NORTHPOINT CUSTARD is a don’t miss during the warm-weather season. KEY staffers were among the eager customers getting their burgers and fries with a shake when the order windows opened in May. Great food and fabulous scenery combine at 2272 N. Lincoln Memorial Dr., where downtown meets the lake.

SUMMERFEST TIPS

By MIKE EWING

BEFORE THERE WAS Lolla-pa-hooza or South-by-South-Whatever, there was Summerfest. The 46th Annual (and still World’s Largest) Music Festival brings a tidal wave of tunes and brews to Milwaukee’s lakefront. Planning for the fest can be overwhelming, so here are a few pieces of advice for first-timers: Pick Your Poison (or Another Band You Like) With so many acts playing The Big Gig, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

Luckily, you can sift through the hundreds of bands to find new ones you may like through the Summerfest website (summerfest.com). While browsing the schedule for any particular day, you can search by genre and listen to a song by many of the acts. This preview track is largely limited to headliners, but is still a more efficient way to find out if you like a band than wandering aimlessly through the festival. Summerfest has one of the most eclectic lineups out there, so the odds are good there are acts you'll enjoy on the schedule.

Walk or Take a Shuttle As people stream around the Summerfest grounds, the surrounding roads turn into rapids of swerving pedestrians, Harleys and cars. Avoid getting swept away by taking one of the many shuttles that head to the fest from local bars or hopping on a Freeway Flyer from the ‘burbs (info at RideMCTS.com. ). Just make sure you remember WHICH shuttle/bus you need to catch, where their pickup location is, and to get there before the last shuttles leave at 12:30 p.m.

Stake Your Claim One thing that distinguishes Summerfest from many summer music extravaganzas is the placement of benches in front of the stages. This leads to a few things. First, things don't get as bone-crushingly crowded as they do at other festivals. Second, dancing around like a maniac is mostly impossible when standing on top of benches. So, Summerfest probably has more fist pumping than any other festival. Finally, it also means that it is very difficult (read: Impossible) to show up at the last minute and get a front-row view of the most popular acts. So if you want to get up close to a headliner or any band playing after 5 p.m., get there early.

Stop, Plop, & Listen With so many options, it’s tempting to focus on a headlining act or make lap after lap around the festival grounds like you’re in the Indy 500. If you ever feel bored or lost, your best option is to head towards whichever stage best reflects your particular tastes. Or even better, head towards the K-Nation | Cascio Interstate Music Stage and support some local Milwaukee (and Midwestern) bands. What these acts lack in notoriety they make up for with energy. Two of my favorite acts of the whole fest will be there, including the powerful post-punk Delta Routine, 9 p.m. on July 5, and rowdy pop-rockers Archie Powell & the Exports, 9 p.m. on July 7.

Have Fun & Keep Your Cool Between the high temperatures and volumes of beer consumed, bodies and tempers can get hot at Summerfest. Make sure you drink plenty of hops-free H20 during the day. Be polite to strangers. Be wary of wobbly drunks and guys with their shirts off. Unless that guy is you, in which case: rock on.
