Twelve incidents were reported in the Milwaukee area last year, but a Jewish community organization believes the problem may be bigger than expected.
“Get used to it. You’re Jewish.” That’s what Dave was told by a classmate who repeatedly pushed him to the ground in a gym class basketball game his sophomore year at Whitefish Bay High School. Dave – not the student’s real name – said he felt that same surge of emotions return the following year during study hall, when he overheard another boy bragging about throwing coins at people’s feet. If they picked up the coins, the boy would ask them if they were Jewish, feeding the stereotype of Jewish people being cheap. Although he didn't witness the boy's actions, Dave said he felt a mix of anger and embarrassment in hearing the story and seeing other students laugh along with it. “I was pretty upset by it. I didn’t expect that at the high …

The JCC is partnering with Nicolet School District and WEA Trust to offer a unique wellness program that includes exercise, dieting and camaraderie.
Andi Winkle has tried to lose weight before, but eventually, those lost pounds returned. This time it's different for the Nicolet chemistry teacher, who is one of 32 Nicolet employees in their fourth week of a 12-week exercise program called "The Big Melt Down." The program brings Nicolet staffers together outside school hours to exercise in the Nicolet gymnasium or at the Harry and Rose Samson Jewish Community Center. "This time it's a lifestyle change for me," Winkle said at the end of a recent workout. "I'm not so focused on losing 25 pounds in 12 weeks. For me, it's asking myself if I ate healthy this week and if I feel good about what I did workout-wise, knowing the rest will follow. This is the first time in my life I can say that…

Deysha Smith-Jenkins led Dominican girls to fifth place in D2 finals, while Bay boys took seventh in the D1 competition.
North Shore track athletes took La Crosse by storm Saturday. The combination of Whitefish Bay, Nicolet, Shorewood and Dominican’s track teams did extremely well at the WIAA State Track Meet Friday and Saturday, earning a combined seven medals on a day that saw countless records fall. Whitefish Bay boys kicked things off when James Stecker took sixth in the 100 with a time of 11.06. The junior didn’t have much time to relax, though, as he quickly had to compete in the 4x100 and 4x200 relays. Apparently Stecker works just fine under a lot of pressure, as the Blue Dukes took first place in both events despite being seeded fourth in both. “That was kind of my goal coming in,” Stecker said of the three medals. “I knew our relays had a great …
