Post Staff MILWAUKEE – A crew of more than 100 volunteers came together in the Washington Park neighborhood Wednesday to launch Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity's 30th year of building homes, community and hope at the annual "Blitz Build." During May, Habitat will add six owner-occupied houses to a block that is already home to seven Habitat families, boosting the homeownership rate to near- ly 75 percent. For the third year in a row, the Brewers Community Foundation is the event's presenting sponsor and has teamed up with Ryan Braun and the Brewers wives to provide a $50,000 donation toward the build. Community volunteers worked alongside members of the Brewers organiza- tion to help build a new home at 2134 N. 38th St. Milwaukee Brewers players Ryan Braun, Matt Garza, Logan Schafer and Kyle Lohse participated in the construc- tion. "I'm happy to continue partnering with Habitat for Humanity so that more families have the chance to build homes and give their kids a safe place to grow up," Braun said. The players were joined by Ron and Karen Roenicke, Brewers wives, Cecelia Gore, executive director of the Brewers Community Foundation, and Habitat homeowner Monique Davis. "Since this partnership started, we have seen how much hard work these fam- ilies put into building their homes, and also the joy and pride they feel when they become homeowners. We're excited to be part of that again, and glad that we can provide this opportunity for more families in Milwaukee," Gore said. "We are very grateful for the Brewers Community Foundation's ongoing sup- port of our mission," said Brian Sonderman, executive director of Milwaukee Habitat. "Their willingness to support our families – not just through sponsor- ship, but also by volunteering alongside our families and staff – shows a tremen- dous commitment to building a better Milwaukee for everyone." Post Staff MILWAUKEE – The Electronic Security Association has completed a comprehen- sive resource for school officials who are developing or adding to their electronic security systems as part of their overall school security plan. The resource, "Electronic Security Guidelines for Schools," is a document meant to inform and advise school decision- makers about their options, and the critical role of electronic security. A conference for the live presentation of "Electronic Security Guidelines for Schools" will take place from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday at the Country Springs Conference Center, 2810 Golf Road. Security industry experts with specific experience in securing K-12 schools will lead a series of panel discussions. The keynote speaker is officer Mitchell L. Ross of the Milwaukee Police Department. He will present a program on intelligence brief- ing to educate attendees on how to recog- nize and identify potential terrorist activity and the proper actions to take to mitigate threats. Panelists include Infrastructure Protection Officer Jeffrey Watts of the Milwaukee Police Department, and three experts who participated in the creation and development of the "Electronic Security Guidelines for Schools." The document isn't designed primarily for industry professionals, but as a refer- ence for school administrators when work- ing to assess and determine appropriate security strategies, according to an ESA news release. The ESA said in a release that Newtown, Conn., Chief of Police Michael Kehoe endorsed the documents at a recent presen- tation, stating, "This is a very comprehen- sive approach to security. Each school is unique: different locations, ages of kids, physical layout, and so on. This approach lets the assessment be individualized. I def- initely support it."
