Brian Cass owns the Martinizing Dry Cleaning in Shorewood. GIVE THE GIFT OF DELICIOUSNESS! CULVER’S GIFT CARDS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME! Special Delivery Martinizing Dry Cleaning’s Shorewood location (3596 N. Oakland Ave.) is just one of the company’s many locations both nationally and internationally. Originally founded in 1949 when chemist Henry Martin introduced a non-flammable chemical in solvents that enabled on-premise cleaning, the business has grown to become the country’s largest dry cleaning franchise. Shorewood Martinizing’s owner, Brian Cass, says his family has been in the dry cleaning business throughout Milwaukee for more than 40 years, and has owned the Shorewood location for about six years. In total, the family owns 17 Martinizing locations throughout metropolitan Milwaukee. Cass says he likes doing business in Shorewood because of, “The small-town feel, the atmosphere and the quaintness of the Village.” In addition to a wide variety of dry cleaning services, Martinizing is known for its same-day service for laundered and pressed shirts. The business also offers alterations, shoe repair, wedding gown cleaning and preservation, and window-blind cleaning. For customers who place a premium on convenience, Martinizing offers a free pick-up and delivery service. Customers simply place laundry in a special Martinizing bag and hang it somewhere outside the door of their home or office to be picked up (and dropped off) twice a week. Cass recalls one unique incident at the Shorewood location a few years ago. A local television news crew was following around an Indy car driver, and filmed him pulling into the parking lot and picking up his dry cleaning – landing the business and staff on duty an on-air cameo on the evening news that day.

Combined sewer area, north: Sewer improvements were made on Downer Ave. and Richland Ct. at Jarvis St. In addition, new storm sewers were constructed in Ridgefield Cir. to improve drainage. Still To Be Done 2013: Implement two distinct lining programs; complete engineering work for 2014 construction. The 2013 lateral lining program will target private laterals that are a significant source of inflow and infiltration into the sanitary sewer system (storm water gets into the sanitary pipes). This work is targeted for high flow areas of Basins 1 and 6. Lateral lining does NOT require tearing up the street. The 2013 version of the Village’s annual mainline sewer lining program will include work in the Combined Sewer area on Lake Dr., Richland Ct., Beverly Rd., Prospect Ave., Harcourt Pl. and Jarvis St. All work is done within the pipe – manhole to manhole. Residents whose homes/laterals connect to the pipe to be lined will receive a notice with specific instructions and the date(s) of the work in their area. 2014: Install new storm sewer pipes on Glendale Ave., west of Oakland Ave. The new pipes will replace existing pipes with larger ones and improve flood protection in the vicinity of Glendale Ave. and Woodburn Ave. We will also install new sanitary sewers on Glendale Ave. to complete the Basin 6 system improvements started in 2012. Sanitary sewer construction will take place between Larkin and Ardmore Streets. 2015 and beyond: Bid and begin construction projects in Combined Sewer area. Multiple problems need to be addressed. Improving the situation in the combined sewer area will be the most difficult part of the entire project. In this area, the sanitary and storm sewer functions are handled by the same pipe. Storm water mixes with the sanitary sewer water and when rain is excessive, the combined water, including untreated sewage, can back up in basements. Also, all water in combined sewer pipes flows to the Milwaukee Metropolitan Sewage District (MMSD) facility for treatment. Cutting the amount of water flowing to MMSD after a heavy rain could make a difference in the amount of untreated water that ends up in the lake because the deep tunnel storage is full. Currently, plans recommend a partial separation of the sewers (continued on page 28) SPRING 2013 • SHOREWOOD TODAY MAGAZINE • 27 Nearly 1,000 homes were damaged from street flooding and basement back-ups in July 2010.

28 • SHOREWOOD TODAY MAGAZINE • SPRING 2013 Our Future: Continued Commitment and Conservation Community support for repairing our sewer system was high throughout the planning and approval process. Residents who had to put up with the dust and noise of summer 2012 construction had their commitment tested, and some residents – particularly those who did not experience flooding – have questioned the cost. However, at a community roundtable discussion in December 2010 a resident commented, “Even those who did not have flooding need to realize that water entering the pipes ‘upstream’ affects ‘down-stream’ property owners. This is a Shorewood problem that must be fixed to maintain property values and the image of the entire Village.” It is important to keep the goals of the entire program in mind as we experience more dust and noise and higher utility bills. The Village will continue to reassess and refine each of the projects yet to be completed. In the meantime, all residents can contribute to the solution by conserving water. Visit the following website for water conservation ideas: psc.wi.gov/conservation/water/WC-Consumers.htm All of the community meeting presentations and planning documents regarding sewer improvements are posted on the Village website at villageofshorewood.org (click on “Sewer Improvement Planning”). As future project dates draw closer, community meetings will be scheduled to explain refinements to the plan or funding sources.

SPRING 2013 • SHOREWOOD TODAY MAGAZINE • 29 Neighbors gather on the corner of Olive and Larkin to acknowledge their “Shorewood Neighborhood of the Year” award.

Residents Supporting Each Other in Shorewood’s Neighborhood of the Year

According to a resident of Shorewood’s Neighborhood of the Year, “I love that when I need community, I simply need to walk outside.” Celebrations, work projects and the opportunity to support each other have drawn the neighbors in the 4200 block of Larkin and 1500 block of Olive into a close community. Holiday parties (including after-dark Trick-or-Treat for children), monthly happy hours, game nights and even a camping trip provide neighborhood entertainment. But residents also gather to support each other – to cheer on race participants, praise the work of their community artist, raise funds for a neighbor’s favorite charity, and provide yard work and a “meal train” for neighbors who are experiencing difficulties. Liz Kohler and Paru Shah, who nominated their neighborhood PROUD for the award, wrote, “One of the things we are all aware of is a SPONSOR OF THE SUMMER tangible, positive energy that exists when we come together SOUNDS as a group, and that fantastic vibe is recognized not only by CONCERT SERIES AT HUBBARD the residents, but also by people who live outside our (small) PARK! borders.” Due to the neighborhood’s friendly reputation, and its proximity to schools and shopping, residents have received numerous letters from people who live elsewhere in Shorewood expressing interest in purchasing real estate on the block should residents ever wish to sell. The residents of the Larkin/Olive neighborhood are looking forward to walking together in the 4th of July parade behind their “Neighborhood of the Year” banner.

They also have logged many volunteer hours assisting with other library programs. Current Young Adult Librarian Emily Passey thoroughly enjoys working with the young people. “They are a positive, creative group to work with,” she says. “I try hard to add new books to the collection that I know they will enjoy.” TAB members Sabine Peterka, Simone Klemann and Alec Jacobi are all science fiction/fantasy fans. Lauren Kohlenberg, who has been on the board for three years, prefers realistic fiction. All of the students make use of the Library as a school resource. Kohlenberg mentioned that the Library has a particularly good collection of resource material on different cultures and countries. TAB welcomes new members from grades 7-12, particularly going into the summer months when there is a need for more volunteers at Library events. For more information on the TAB program, visit the Library website, mcfls.org/shorewood or contact Librarian Emily Passey at 414.847.2670. “TAB is just an enjoyable way to be involved in the community,” says Kohlenberg.
