20 lake living: a Dream come True For homeowners Joel and Lisa Frank, this Town of Summit residence—with its lush foliage, stunning views of the water, and wildlife that meander the property every day of the year— reminds them of a northern Wisconsin lake retreat. Mary Murphy

30 God’s corner Gertrude M. Puelicher

DEEP-RIVER PARTNERS, LTD, a Milwaukee

architectural and interior design firm, designed

the asymmetrical structure, combining the old

world construction techniques of northern Italy

with spectacular views of Lake Michigan, Atwater

Park, and Shorewood’s Plensa sculpture. The two-

story Tuscan-style thirteen-room house features

four bedrooms, three and one-half bathrooms, two

fireplaces, a sunroom, and a lower level recreation

space with a wine cellar within 5,762 square feet

of living space.

The stucco façade is enhanced by a rusticated

pattern of flag-shaped stone along the base

recalling the look of Italian farmhouses and villas.

Contrast is provided by using cedar for the arched

wood columns, the paired block roof brackets,

and the balcony posts. Resting next to the

window-framed quarter-sawn white oak arched

entrance door is a 100 year-old antique iron pot

from the Gan’su area of China. Of special interest

are the small decorative squares which cleverly

mimic a belt course found above the semicircular

windows. Balconies with wrought-iron

balustrades overlooking the garden as well as a

front entrance tower with clerestory windows

complete the overall appearance of a timeless

Tuscan Villa.

The front-facing terrace and gardens

are surrounded by river birch trees, a dry-

fit Lannon stone wall, and low shrubbery

providing privacy from the public zone. Emerald

arborvitae which mimic northern Italy’s cypress

trees, are strategically placed on the terrace to

provide a sense of order and formality. The

soothing water feature includes a 200-plus year-

old hand-carved granite pot with a traditional

Chinese floral pattern. The surrounding stone

provides a balancing element to the landscape

dominated by earthiness. A split-faced Lannon

stone walkway leads to a dwarf Sargent

crabapple tree hosting white spring flowers

and red fall berries. The ancient statue at the

entrance to the rear entryway is over 400 years

old and is a Chinese symbol for good luck

and protection. The symbol also represents the

many facets of life.

The entrance door with its window

surround and four carved teak corbels on

the vestibule wall sets the stage for dramatic

highlights of the interior. Dominating the foyer

is an intricately-carved teak water fountain from

Bali, designed by the internationally-renowned

tropical garden artist, Made Wijaya. Richly-

grained wide wood planking draws one into

the adjacent formal dining room. There your

eye is drawn to the hand-crafted chandelier,

repurposed from an antique French fireplace

grate and hanging from four decoratively

painted Mediterranean tiles.

The state-of-art kitchen, with its large

green-house window, blends the outdoors with

the indoors by combining the warmth of a

fireplace, the wood flooring, and custom-built

cabinets with the alluring view of a private

garden-oasis featuring one more sculpture

created by Made Wijaya. The adjacent room’s

two-main walls display ornately-carved Balinese

teak wood panels.

Horizontal cedar hand-hewn beams

polished with brie wax, Caribbean pine wide-

planked hand-scrapped flooring, and arched

windows and doors invite one into the wide

gracious living room. The stunning views of the

Tuscan landscaping and Lake Michigan on the

east side of the room vie for attention with the

elegant floor-to-ceiling Trumeau Louis XV style

limestone fireplace on the west side of the room.

An adjoining sunroom provides a less

formal space with its patterned terra cotta tile

floor reclaimed from France. Pleasant views of

the covered patio through a continuous band

of arched windows and doors are among the

room’s focal points.

A handsome curved wrought-iron staircase

leads to a landing which is highlighted by a

dramatic Indonesian chandelier carved of teak

wood. Also, noteworthy in the landing area are

the heavy antique copper doors, which were

discovered in a salvage facility in Illinois, and

hand polished to their present glowing patina.

On the upper level of the home, the master

bedroom creates the serene atmosphere of an

Italian villa with outstanding vistas of Lake

Michigan and a tiled open-air private terrace.

The distinctive doors leading into the dressing

room are 200 year-old yu’mu wood courtyard

doors found in Beijing. The lady’s antique stone-

topped dressing table with the small Kalista

sink is also made of yu’mu originating in China.

The adjoining master bathroom creates

the open light atmosphere of a Roman bath

with its soaring height, clerestory windows,

decoratively tiled floor and walls, and a

wood-paneled tray ceiling adding dramatic

interest. A 100 year-old Chinese buffet has been

repurposed into a wash basin.

The lower level serves as a recreational space

which features a full bath, den and wine cellar.

Characteristic of Tuscan-style homes, the

Showhouse is strategically positioned on the lot

to create an extension of the garden space and a

connection to the sky, water and land beyond.

The 180-degree panorama of Lake Michigan

from the house is enhanced by Jaume Plensa’s

sculpture, “Spillover II”, resting on the bluff at

Atwater Park.

Known and highly respected as a public

space artist, the internationally- renowned

Spanish sculptor’s piece was chosen by the

Shorewood Public Art Committee for its

transparency and statement. An anonymous

donation to the Committee funded the purchase

and the Shorewood Foundation covered

incidental costs and continues to fund its long-

term maintenance. “Spillover II” is eight feet tall

and lit from the inside at night. It features a seated

person hugging their knees and is constructed

of stainless steel letters combined randomly as

homage to the single letter creating words, ideas,

text and culture. Metaphorically it is about society

– a single person is nothing, but in collaboration

with others become a society, a country, a universe

all together as one. The sculpture was unveiled

and installed on a cement base in September, 2010

with Jaume Plensa in attendance.

Atwater Park was established in 1910 by the

city of East Milwaukee at the east end of what

was then Atwater Road, now Capitol Drive.

The name was changed to Shorewood in 1917.

It was as wide as the Atwater roadway with a

wooden staircase down the south end of the

bluff. The Village of Shorewood purchased

land for expansion to the north in 1929 and

additional land one year later. Black locust trees

were planted to stabilize the bluff and harp

lamps were installed along switchback trails

in 1932. As part of the 1938 Works Progress

Administration (WPA) to employ Depression-

era unemployed, jetties and a bathing pavilion

were constructed on the beach. Using one-half

million dollars of Federal money, the pavilion

boasted of a roof-top deck for daytime

picnicking and nighttime dancing.

In 1967, two cable cars were installed from

the park to the beach. The Village initiated

a contest to name the cars. Able Cable and

Twinkle Tow were the winning names. The cost

for a one-way trip was ten cents, but the cars

were inoperable more often than operational.

No one in the Milwaukee area knew the

complicated mechanics of the German-made

cars and the Village removed them in 1977. Ten

years later, the beyond-repair bathing pavilion

was demolished and new steps to the beach

fountain was installed in the park in 1969. It

remained until the Plensa sculpture was erected

Intriguing playground equipment designed

contemplative area are long-range plans for the

Visitors to the Wisconsin Breast Cancer’s

18th Anniversary Showhouse will be awed by

the architectural beauty of this Tuscan-style

designed house, terrace, and the museum-

quality artifacts displayed inside and outside.

2015 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse Dedication

Five days before Christmas in 2002,

Tacoma, Washington newspaper publisher

Elizabeth “Betsy” Brenner received unwelcome

news—a diagnosis of breast cancer. Betsy

recalls, “You could have knocked me over.

The last thing I had time for was cancer. I

was 48 years old, and I couldn’t remember

the state I was living in when I got my last

mammogram; much less, when it took place.”

She celebrated New Year’s Eve 2003 recovering

from a needle biopsy, followed three weeks

later by a mastectomy, then chemotherapy and

reconstructive surgery.

Now, fast forward to April 2013. Betsy,

who had relocated to Milwaukee in 2005

as president and publisher of The Journal

Sentinel, received more bad news. Her cancer,

extensive ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), had

recurred. She faced this challenge with mixed

feelings. “A recurrence is clearly more serious

and forces some ‘life decisions’ on patients

and families. In another way, though, it wasn’t

as daunting as the first time. I knew what

to expect. I knew about the fatigue and the

reaction to medication. I knew my hair would

grow back. So, with some experience behind

me, it was easier to face and get through it.”

Fortunately, the years intervening Betsy’s

first and second diagnoses brought new

research and treatment options. Now, she says,

WITH VIEWS OF Waterville Lake at every

turn, stepping into this home will make any

visitor feel relaxed and at ease. The setting

is reminiscent of a lake retreat in northern

Wisconsin – lush foliage, stunning views of

the water, and wildlife meander the property

every day of the year.

Located in the Town of Summit, just off

of Hwy 18, this home is a peaceful escape for

Joel and Lisa Frank and their family. And the

property is a gem among three dozen other

homes where the homeowners enjoy serene

living and prime lake frontage. Unlike other

larger lakes in the area, there is no public boat

launch at Waterville Lake. There is only walk-

As a child, family vacations to northern

Wisconsin were a fond memory for Joel and

he wanted the same thing for his children.

Yet, with their family committed to the kids’

athletic and extracurricular activities in the

Kettle Moraine School District, finding that

cabin in the woods on a lake—and so far

from home—didn’t seem practical.

As a compromise, the Franks chose

to look for a lake property in the area

surrounding Delafield, where they lived. After

a two-year search, they found the home of

their dreams. The hub for this busy family

since May 2001, the home has provided a

versatile backdrop for many holiday parties

and family celebrations. While the great room

and dining room provide a spacious layout for

entertaining on the main level, the expansive

deck allows the hosts and their guests to

move the party outdoors.

The home also includes a finished lower

level rec room for the kids, complete with a

billiard table, other table games, kitchenette

and a TV area. In warmer weather months,

everyone takes full advantage of the generous

backyard and 400 feet of lake frontage.

“We have it all right here,” said Joel. “The

beauty of this house includes the views and

the privacy, just like we’d see up north.”

The Franks’ lot also comes with its very

own private island across the bay from their

home. Rope Island is about one-half acre and

includes a flat area for camping. If campers

It’s a great location for weekend visits with

Joel and Lisa’s three children, as well as other

family members and friends. Spacious rooms

tucked into semi-private sections of the house

make it seem like a visit to a resort, but with

the coziness of a bed and breakfast.

One of the many benefits of living in

this area is its location midpoint between

Milwaukee and Madison and easy access to

the I-94 corridor. Living in Summit is ideal,

combining the best of small-town living with

proximity to work and entertainment offerings

in larger metropolitan areas.

The real attraction is being near the water.

The allure of lake living here and in the

surrounding communities is still an integral part

of the landscape and lifestyle of its residents. Lake

frontage commands a premium and those with

the resources and a passion for boating, fishing or

swimming will find several housing options.

Built in 1996 on the southern shore of the

lake, this 4,500-square-foot home is a retreat for

family and friends who gather here for casual

celebrations. While many residences in the

area are historic lakeside homes and traditional

country farmhouses, the Frank home features

comfortable, spacious rooms with modern

amenities. Its neutral and earth-toned décor

was designed to focus on its greatest asset—

the lake—and the breathtaking views out

every window of the home.

According to Joel, it’s also a wonderful

house for entertaining.

The prevailing theme throughout this

home is relaxation and sharing good times on

the lake. Over the years, friends have referred

to this home as “Camp Frank” – the gathering

place for the Franks’ three children and their

friends. Swimming, boating, camping, fishing,

and enjoying time around the fire pit – these

are just a few of the activities hosted here.

The kids’ played soccer and volleyball games

in the large backyard in warmer months.

While in winter, the Franks cleaned a section

of the lake in front of their home for ice

skating and hockey. Annual caroling parties

at Christmastime end with a gathering in the

home—an event that has accommodated up

to 60 guests comfortably on the main level.

“This is a great place to raise a family,

but this home would also be a great place to

retire,” said Joel, who especially likes to watch

the summer sunsets from the lakeside deck

near the water’s edge. “Our kids are grown and

we are ready to move on, but we’ll miss this

beautiful place.”

“The drug combinations that I’ve been given

are all relatively new, seem to be extremely

effective—and are all a result of research done

and advanced thanks to investments like the

type made by WBCS.”

Betsy’s career as a high profile newspaper

executive means having to fit treatment into

a busy work and travel schedule. Husband

Steve Ostrofsky, a retired newspaper executive,

“… has been an amazing caregiver. He’s

attended every doctor visit; been there for

every treatment, and kept me going with good

humor—even when nothing is funny. Friends

and colleagues have all stepped up with

encouragement and support. I’m very lucky to

have had all of them on my side.”

In addition to serving on the Associated

Press and Newspaper Association of America

industry boards, Betsy makes time to give back

to the community. She serves as a Medical

College of Wisconsin trustee and is on the

boards of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin

and Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee.

She is a past board member and president of

mentoring organization ABCD (After Breast

Cancer Diagnosis) and served as honorary

chair of the 2014 local Susan G. Komen walk.

Betsy sums up her cancer journey by

observing, “Nobody wishes a cancer diagnosis

on anyone. It’s hard. It’s really scary, and with

it you realize you’re mortal—perhaps for the

first time. But it’s there. We learn to live with

it and live through it. Contrary to the image

of the ‘courageous cancer survivor’, I can’t say

I’ve ever felt particularly brave about this. I’d

much rather never had had cancer. But, I’m

doing what I have to do because I want to

live a quality life for as long as I can—and I’m

fortunate to have an incredible team of family,

doctors, friends and colleagues to support me

as I do. That’s what I’d wish for anyone facing

the same challenge.”

God’scornerby Ger t rude M . Pue l icher

MAY IS THAT month of the year when God appears on earth to

those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. At this point the some

might mutter, “Another one of those Pollyannaish theories: it isn’t

raining rain to me, it’s raining violets.” Not true. These are just non-

believers minus eyes to see and ears to hear, and for so limited an

outlook one must have compassion.

Before condemning them, however, why not suggest their

stepping into a garden with you? See those inquisitive green shoots

pushing their way through the soil into the sunlit warmth of a

spring day? They are the result of the life-force within them that

nudges on their growth until they have fulfilled God’s purpose for

them. The identical life-force that nudges our growth. The life that is

God, the very life that constitutes your being and mine is at work in

this fascinating month of May.

Notice those lacy tendrils on the birches? Before one is actually

aware of the miracle, those birch branches will be a glorious mass of

green leaves in vivid contrast to the clean white bark of the trunk.

Birches remind me of buoyant youth on the march just as the tightly

curled reddish pink buds on the maple tree put me in mind of a

birthday gift carefully concealed in beautiful wrappings.

What do the wonders of nature portend? That the life-force

that is God is at work not only within us but all around us. God

appearing as life, as growth, as beauty, as joy. If, however, one is

spiritually blind, that, alas, is a real loss.

And if you are immune to bird calls and trills and songs, if

the chirp of crickets and the gentle cadence of katydids arouses no

response in your soul, then indeed the spirit within you is in need

of revival. No one need be a lump living from dawn to dusk, from

birth to death with no understanding of the pulsating life-force that

can make of each day a glorious adventure. Why lose the “trailing

clouds of glory” with which we came into being?

A mind so limited and uninspired that it is unmoved by the

loveliness of nature and its orderly precision in reproduction must

be entirely barren of any spiritual sense. Such a one would fail to

comprehend the full import of David the Psalmist’s statement, “The

earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.” Would it not stand to

reason that since the earth is the Lord’s it would necessarily have to

be God manifesting, revealing and unfolding not only as individual

being but also as nature at its finest? Likewise, would it not stand to

reason that only the spiritually minded would be blessed with eyes

to see and ears to hear the advent of God on earth? Elizabeth Barrett

Browning puts it exactly when she says, “Earth’s crammed with

heaven, And every common bush afire with God.” All we need do is

open our spiritual eyes and ears and feel the blessings that come.

“We truly felt that we were a priority. Your attention to detail and making sure that we understood the process and procedures

always made us feel comfortable and confi-dent with everything that was going on. You fought for us and made sure that we got the

best deal on both sides.” – Heather and Richard, Pewaukee

“The Fritz Team, was and is simply the best. We now judge other realtors with them as the standard. We would completely recom-mend them to anyone looking for property

in the MKE and surrounding areas.” – Sarah and Jesse, Waukesha

“We cannot tell you enough how happy we were working with Lori and Molly Fritz, The Fritz Team! From day one they were

nothing but informative, resourceful, respectful and courteous to all of our needs. They really did a great job working with us

and the thoughtfulness they brought not only to us but our two little daughters is

something that cannot be surpassed, espe-cially with the stress that comes along with

selling a home. If we had stayed in the state to buy our next home they would’ve been

our agents, hands down!”– Nicole and Josh, Hartford
