October is a special month in Milwaukee County. Our parks, backyards, and even our downtown gain the fiery accents of fall color, inviting tourists and residents to step out and enjoy the autumn weather.

Milwaukee is a wonderful city to explore by foot. Whether you are a jogger, a hiker, or a stroller, our town has tremendous parks and neighborhoods.

Milwaukee Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art community is very active this month. The ballet and live theatre companies are presenting beautiful shows. Fall Gallery Night & Day offers an intimate glimpse inside the local art community. At the Milwaukee County Zoo, cooler weather brings many of the animals out, amid stunning color. Our world class parks and golf courses are particularly beautiful this time of year and the streets downtown are lovely to walk down with a cup of coffee from our local roasters.

As always, sites such as the Art Museum and Public Museum offer excellent options for an interesting day out. Key Milwaukee is an excellent resource for planning your time. No matter what you choose to do in Milwaukee County, I hope you enjoy your time with us.

You will find Milwaukee's lakefront an ideal place to begin. Lake Michigan's shoreline is naturally beautiful, and thoughtful leaders accentuated the beauty by making sure vast expanses remain open public spaces. Museums, memorials, and the festival grounds are great walking destinations along the lakefront.

Milwaukee has unique neighborhoods and commercial districts to discover. Consider a walk through Bay View, the Third Ward, Martin Luther King Drive, or Brady Street to get a better understanding of what makes Milwaukee special.

There are a number of trails in the city. Along one of them, the Hank Aaron trail in the Menomonee Valley, you can walk to the city's newest park, Three Bridges.

When you're on foot in Milwaukee you will find lots of people out there with you, enjoying every step.

Sincerely,

Chris Abele, Milwaukee County Executive

Key COVER FEATURE

Art Museum unveils original exhibition of one of America’s most important artists

CONTINUING A YEARLONG celebration of American art and artists, the Milwaukee Art Museum will unveil an original exhibition on the career of American artist Thomas Sully (1783–1872).

Thomas Sully: Painted Performance is the first retrospective of the artist in 30 years, and the first to present both the artist’s portraits and subject pictures. The exhibition opens October 11 and continues through Jan. 5, 2014.

“The exhibition provides a major new look at one of the most important nineteenth-century American artists, who expressed his lifelong love of the theatre and literature in paintings,” said Daniel Keegan, Milwaukee Art Museum director.

“Shakespeare, fairy tales, popular culture, and the movers and shakers and celebrities of nineteenth-century American society are all captured in Sully’s work.”

Painted Performance brings together more than 70 paintings from public and private collections and presents them thematically, in four sections: 8

theatrical portraits of specific actors in a role; traditional portraits shaped by the artist’s theatrical and literary imagination; fancy portraits, imaginary portraits as conceits or inspired by whimsy; and fancy pictures, narrative paintings based on literary or artistic sources or the imagination.

Sully employed drama, theatricality and a heightened sense of activity to great effect throughout his long career. In some of his grandest full-length portraits, Sully composed his figures as if they were literally onstage. Even in portraits that seemingly have nothing to do with the formal world of the theatre, his subjects act to directly engage the viewer.

The artist brought a similar level of theatricality to his fancy pictures. An important and unexplored category of mid-nineteenth-century American painting, fancy pictures were a special kind of narrative art that targeted viewers’ emotions and that often included social commentary. Sully’s fancy pictures offer a window into the issues of the day, including questions about gender, race, and childhood.

“Thomas Sully: Painted Performance reveals the full breadth of Sully’s artistic imagination and celebrates his unique contribution to America’s artistic and cultural life,” said William Keyse Rudolph, exhibition co-curator and the Dudley J. Godfrey, Jr. Curator of American Art and Decorative Arts at the Milwaukee Art Museum.

The exhibition is co-curated by Carol Eaton Soltis, Project Associate Curator of American Art, Philadelphia Museum of Art. It is accompanied by a 192-page, full-color and fully illustrated scholarly catalogue. The exhibition will travel to the San Antonio Museum of Art, February 5–May 11, 2014.

Celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, the Milwaukee Art Museum houses more than 30,000 works, with strengths in 19thand 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 Calatrava-designed 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. General admission, which includes all special exhibitions, is $17 for adults and $14 for students, seniors, and active military. Kids 12 and under are always free. There is no admission charge the first Thursday of every month (excluding groups). Visit www.mam.org for more information.

KEY GOLF September,October are great months for golf in Southeastern Wisconsin By JERRY SLASKE KEY Milwaukee golf editor

SEPTEMBER AND OCTOBER are ideal months for golf in Wisconsin. The bugs are gone, the humidity has moved on, and the temperatures are as comfortable as listening to Dean Martin, the king of cool.

Sure, there are some nasty days to let us know that winter is around the corner, but, for the most part, this is the time to tee it high and let it fly.

Many courses also have fall discounts – particularly this year since the spring was so wet – and the courses aren’t as crowded. Moreover, the landscape is bursting with color as the foliage turns to golds, oranges, reds, and browns. It all adds up to a golfer’s delight. Here are a few favorites at this time of year:

• Brown Deer: A former stop on the PGA tour’s regular season schedule, Brown Deer is always stunning and the conditions are impeccable with extremely fast and true greens. Thousands of mature trees line every fairway of this course built in 1929. 414-352-8080, milwaukeecountygolfcourses.com

• The Bull at Pinehurst Farms: There are enough trees, streams and ponds, and elevation changes at this spectacular Jack Nicklaus Signature course in the northern Kettle Moraine area to make you marvel at Mother Nature. It’s well worth the drive to Sheboygan Falls. 920-467-1500, golfthebull.com • Erin Hills: Very little earth was moved by man to build this huge brute highlighted by beautiful rolling hills and meadows. It was the site of the 2012 US Amateur and will host the 2017 US Open. Because the only structures visible are the Irish manor-style clubhouse and the spires of the basilica at Holy Hill, Erin Hills makes you feel one with nature. 262-670-8600, erinhills.com 38

• Morningstar: Like Washington County, this course sits high so the views are awesome, especially from the clubhouse. It’s a gorgeous track and one of the best challenges in the area – or anywhere. 262-662-1600, golfthestar.com

• Nagawaukee: A wonderful tree-lined layout, but the back nine is especially pretty at this time of the year. Overlooking Pewaukee Lake, It has enough ups and downs to rival any roller coaster. The color is spectacular. This course does an amazing job of keeping the fairways and even the rough clear of leaves. 262-367-2153, golfwaukeshacounty.com

• Washington County: Although this Arthur Hills course (bent grass tee to green) is links style with nary a tree on the property, it sits high above Pike Lake State Park and the northern Kettle Moraine. It’s a stunning vista as you stand at the clubhouse and look toward the spires of the Basilica at Holy Hill. 262-670-6616, golfwcgc.com

Other fine courses to play in the fall include: The Bog, 262-284-7075, golfthebog.com An Arnold Palmer design impeccably manicured that includes wetlands, woods, and wildlife habitat;

Brighton Dale Links, 262-697-4653, golfbrightondale.com 45 challenging holes in the midst of the bucolic Bong State Recreational Area; Broadlands, 262-392-6320, broadlandsgolfclub.com Not particularly scenic, but a fine bent-grass layout tol challenge your complete game. Also: Fire Ridge, 262-375-2252, fireridgegc.com Wonderful track without a weak hole in the bunch and superb conditions;

Ironwood, 262-538-9900, ironwoodgolfcourse.com 36 testy holes with tough greens and lots of trees, wetlands, and rolling hills make this a fall favorite; Kettle Hills (original 18), 262-628-0200, kettlehills.com – Interesting, tough layout among rolling hills covered in trees; and

Rock River Hills, 920-485-4990, rockriverhills.com Short, but challenging layout that sits aside the beautiful, water fowl-inhabited Horicon Marsh.

Advance tickets are $12/adults and $6/kids while tickets at the door are$15/adults and $6/kids.

When Captain Frederick Pabst, Milwaukee’s famed beer baron, began construction of a new mansion for his family in 1890, he could not have anticipated that it would survive and thrive into the twenty-first century as a testament to America’s Gilded Age.

(now Wisconsin Avenue) lasted two years and was completed in July 1892 at a cost of just over $254,000 – including the house, furnishings and artwork.

As leading figures in Milwaukee society, Captain Pabst and his wife, Maria, became consummate art collectors, filling their mansion with priceless treasures. During the years of the Pabst family’s ownership, the house was the scene of many fine parties and receptions, a wedding, and, in the end, Captain and Mrs. Pabst’s funerals. In 1908, the home became the residence of Milwaukee’s archbishop for more than sixty years. Then in 1975, the mansion was nearly torn down to make way for a parking lot. After a three-year crusade, it was spared demolition and went on to become an award-winning house museum. It has been open to the public since 1978. Regular hours are 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon-4 p.m. Sunday. Guided tours start at: 10 and 11 a.m., noon and 2 and 3 p.m.

Bucks play two home exhibition games

THE MILWAUKEE Bucks made major lineup changes during the NBA offseason and will test the results in two home preseason exhibition games this month.

New coach Larry Drew brought in a new team of coaches to handle a vastly changed Bucks lineup. Gone are guards Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. Signed to replace them were former Dallas Mavericks guard O.J. Mayo and Brandon Knight, a rookie last season with Detroit. Also returning to Wisconsin to play for the Bucks is Racine native Caron Butler, a veteran who last played for the Los Angeles Clippers. On the Bucks front line are Larry Sanders, the second leading shot blocker in the NBA last season; John Henson, a power forward who performed well in his rookie season last year. Other big men include forwards Erwan Ilyasova and Carlos Delfino and forward-center Zaza Pachulia. Challenging radio and tv commentators will be the Bucks top draft choice, guard-forward Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Side Trip! See fall colors and more in Washington County OCTOBER IS WISCONSIN’S most colorful month and nowhere are nature’s colors more evident than in the rolling hills of Washington County, just a 30minute drive northwest of downtown Milwaukee. The high point of any visit to Washington County is the Holy Hill National Shrine, a Roman Catholic basilica located near Richfield. From a spire of the basilica, one of the highest points in Southeastern Wisconsin, visitors can see the hues of fall throughout the wooded hills. For golfers, Washington County is home to two of the best courses in the state – Erin Hills and Washington County. And both courses offer outstanding views of the rolling Kettle Moraine and spires of Holy Hill.

If a rain shower takes you inside, don’t miss the acclaimed Museum of Wisconsin Art in West Bend, shopping in downtown Kewaskum, Germantown’s Sila Lydia Bast Bell Museum with its collection of more than 5,000 bells or the Wisconsin Automotive Museum in Hartford, the state’s largest auto museum. Historical sites abound, beginning with the Old Courthouse Museum & Jailhouse in West Bend, considered a masterpiece of late 19th century architecture. The recently renovated museum displays exhibits on local business and early settlers.

In Richfield, where some of the best Fall Color roads are located, you’ll find the Richfield Historical Park and Historical Society, with an 1870s gristmill, restored house where the milling families lived, barn and smokehouse, all nestled among towering evergreens.

While Washington County is a great side trip any time of year, here are some special October events worth considering: • Fall Fest, Friday, Oct. 18; Historic Downtown West Bend. Celebrate the season of pumpkins, cider, trick or treat and fun downtown. Contests, scarecrows and costumes and more. 262-338-3909. downtownwestbend.com • Joshua Kane's Tales of Terror; Saturday, Oct. 5, 7:30 p.m.; Schauer Arts & Activities Center, Hartford. Drawing from the works of Edgar Allan Poe, Joshua Kane takes audiences on a roller-coaster ride of thrills and laughter. 262-670-0560. SchauerCenter.org

• Newburg Village Halloween Bon Fire; Saturday, Oct. 26; Fireman’s Park, Newburg.Trick-or Treat-from 3-5 p.m. then bring refreshments and chair for the Bon Fire. 262-689-0712

Key RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

Milwaukee prefers home-grown restaurants

VISITORS TO MILWAUKEE immediately know the dining scene is different here. Sure, the national chains are well represented, but homegrown restaurants and restaurant groups are everywhere.

Inside Mitchell International, travelers are greeted by Nona Bartolotta’s, an extension of Milwaukee’s nationally recognized Bartolotta Restaurant Group. Visitors arriving by rail or bus at the city’s Intermodal Station enjoy the specialties of All-Aboard Cafe, developed by Milwaukee restaurateur Azmi Alaedin.

Long-time favorites

Long-time favorites like The Packing House on Layton Avenue across from Mitchell Airport, are not content to rest on past performance. Owned by the same family for more than 40 years, the popular South Side restaurant upgraded its interior and menu earlier this year. And the popularity of its lounge, with live entertainment Wednesdays through Saturdays, continues to grow. In few downtowns would you find a local restaurant that has been serving visitors and residents for more than a century. In Milwaukee, that senior citizen of the restaurant scene is Mader’s, which has been recognized as the “most famous German restaurant in North America.” Since 1902, the Mader family has kept its namesake restaurant open 365 days every year.

Growing ethnic range

Milwaukee’s restaurant choices equal the selection available in many larger cities, but the range is truly exceptional in terms of ethnic cuisine.

Chez Jacques continues to make its location at 1022 S. First St. a real slice of France. Owner Jacques Chaumet recently introduced the Brasserie concept, offering menu selections avail-

These are just a few examples of locally owned restaurants. You’ll find unique, Milwaukee dining experiences wherever you are in the Metro area.

able throughout the day. Interior changes are in the works to make the popular spot as appealing as the brasseries on the streets of Paris. This month a relative newcomer, Kanpai in the Historic Third Ward, celebrates its first anniversary with a real treat.

From 5-9 p.m. Oct. 17, the offshoot of Brookfield’s Wasabi Sushi Lounge celebrates its first anniversary with a five-course meal with sake and wine pairing. Diners will be able to enjoy Nyotaimori, known as “nude sushi,” as they listen to live Japanese drummer performances.
