Brookfield/Elm Grove Monthly

Page 8A • Freeman Brookfield & Elm Grove OCTOBER 2014 Mary was experiencing some changes in her daily living needs. Mary is a "social butterfly" and the family recognized that she was not functioning on her own like she used to. She was no longer on top of laundry and was withdrawing from activities. Her daughters researched private caregivers, discovered Comfort Keepers and made the call. Mary was born in Michigan. She worked and raised her family in Milwaukee and Chicago and after her husband died returned to Milwaukee to be closer to her extended family. Comfort Keepers caregiver, Lulrene, accompanied Mary to afternoon activities at her residence. She provided support and assistance to bolster Mary's confidence enabling her to continue daily routines. Mary loves people and everyone she meets becomes her friend and they are important to her! Mary called Lulrene "one of her girls" over their year long relationship. Daughter, Judy, loved how owner Gina communicated with the family on how to best Transition mom into her new CBRF home. On moving day, a Comfort Keepers caregiver entertained Mary while family and movers packed, unpacked and recreated her apartment. That evening, Mary went to an "ice cream social" in her new home and met new friends. She is hard to reach by phone these days, being so socially active and the family is relieved that mom is safe.

It's that easy! 2 4 0 3 1 4 0 0 1 By Dave Boehler Freeman Correspondent BROOKFIELD — Of the many entertaining games in the Brookfield East- Brookfield Central high school football rivalry, it will be hard to top the one played last month. Junior running back Mitch Mikulsky scored three touchdowns, includ- ing runs of 70 and 63 yards in the second half, as the Spartans rallied from a 10- point deficit to beat the Lancers 24-20. "It says a lot about us," East coach Tom Swittel said. "We like to think we have character, and we work so hard all year long. We just don't want to give up. Ever." Central drove 57 yards on its final possession and faced a fourth-and-13 from East's 30-yard line. Central quarterback Dominic Labellarte lofted a pass to the right side of the end zone. East defensive back Chad Kluender reached high and possibly got a fingertip on the pass before it went in and out of the hands of the Central receiver as he was falling on his back. "I thought for a second we lost," said Mikulsky, who was playing safety at the time. "But I saw the ball come out, and then I saw the stands go crazy and I knew we had it in the bag." East trailed 20-10 after the first play from scrim- mage in the second half. And what a play it was. Central broke its huddle and the offensive linemen took their usual spots. Labellarte and M.J. Lucas went to the right, and all of a sudden Logan Meyer somehow was running with the ball. By the time East realized what had happened, Meyer was en route to an 80-yard touch- down run. To make matters worse, Mikulsky lost a fumble after Central's Evan Liebe- trau stripped the ball with 9:38 left in the third quar- ter. But the Spartans never panicked. "Every single day, the coaches say we have to han- dle adversity," Mikulsky said. "I think we responded perfectly to it." Mikulsky started the comeback with a 70-yard touchdown run to trim the deficit to 20-17 with 4:45 remaining in the third. "I just had a great block by Mike Caliendo," Mikul- sky said. "Most of our plays came from huge lead blocks by Mike Caliendo. I owe it all to him." Central drove to the East 5-yard line, but just after Labellarte handed the ball off, Dominic Cartier hit the quarterback and he limped off the field with a cramp. On fourth-and-goal from the 2, the snap was fum- bled, recovered but the runner did not get close to scoring. "It was pretty frustrat- ing," Central coach Jed Kennedy said. Four plays later, Mikul- sky got a block down field from Vinh Nguyen-Van and scored a 63-yard touch- down for a 24-20 lead with 9:17 left in the fourth. Not bad from someone who started the season third on the depth chart. But Sam Santiago-Lloyd broke his collarbone in the first game, and Corey Smith sprained his ankle two weeks ago. "I'm not surprised," Swit- tel said. "I've watched Mitch since he's been in fifth grade. He's a playmaker." Central went three-and- out on its next series, and the Lancers fumbled the ball to East's Jeff Bickel on its next series. "At the end, they were get- ting big of chunks of yardage and we're too good up front for that to be hap- pening," Kennedy said. "So, obviously, there was a prob- lem somewhere." Spartans rally past Lancers in city face-off East trailed by 10 in second half PREP FOOTBALL: Brookfield East 24, Brookfield Central 20 Robert F.
