Immediately after stepping foot into the Solful Fitnessstudio, one is swept up by the energy and excitement ofowner Lisa Martin. Petite and enthusiastic with acontagious passion for health and wellness, Martin iseagerly inviting the community into what she lovingly refersto as her Solful Fitness “fitness family.”

Martin’s studio, located at 8655 N. 43rd Street in theOriginal Brown Deer Village, opened in November 2016. Inless than a year, the new business has attracted a devotedclientele of individuals looking for a healthy lifestyle thatgoes beyond the typical revolving-door gym.

At Solful, clients purchase packages that fit theirlifestyle and goals. The workout studio atmosphere isenergetic and inviting with the let’s-get-down-to-business-and-sweat challenge of a fitness club. TheYoga/Barre/Pilates/Pyo room is soothing with its “ceiling toheated floors” windows, allowing the day to softly filter in.

“We offer everything and more than a gym offers,” saidMartin. “When you walk into a gym, maybe you talk tosomeone, maybe you don’t. You might get on a machineand then leave without ever interacting with staff. Here atSolful, you are immediately part of our fitness family.”

Martin said her word for the year is “empower,” andthat seems to be her life philosophy as well. Solful offers“personal training quality in a group setting.” The objectiveof Martin and her trainers is to provide training to theirclients and guide them to their personal fitness goal.

“People surprise themselves by what they are capableof doing,” Martin said. “We teach them proper form andtechnique and really show them all they can do. We wanteveryone to leave feeling empowered and motivated to dothings they didn’t think they could do.”

She said her studio opens newfitness doors for clients. Perhapssomeone comes in for a cardiokickboxing class, but then checks outyoga and finds they love it, Martinnoted.

“We teach and offer things maybeyou never thought you would or coulddo, and we offer all these differentstyles of fitness under one roof,” thestudio owner said.

Martin offers a variety of classes forher clients so there is somethingeveryone can enjoy and levels aregiven in all classes offered – fromCardio Kickboxing, Yoga, Pilates Matt,Barre, Piyo, Spin, Total Fit, TRX, toZumba, Pound and many more.

“We are about non-stop instructionwith all the personal training attentionyou need, but with the amazing energygenerated from the rest of the group.People quickly get to know each otherand hold one another accountablewith no judgement–just support,”Martin emphasized. “We also doworkshops on health and wellness. Iwant to help as many people as I can.I am always asking, ‘How can I offer

Solful Fitness Promotes Community, Spirit of Empowerment

Goodwill

more to my clients?”The Solful Fitness studio is much more than a day job

for Martin; it is her lifelong dream and she walks the walkright along with her clients. A graduate of Nicolet HighSchool and a double major of Kinesiology and Business atUW-Milwaukee, Martin has been a personal trainer for 20years. While in college, she worked as head trainer at aFitness Together location and then during her senior yearopened her own Fitness Together location in Mequon. Shesold the business in 2007 to focus on raising her sons,Dylan and Luke (now 12 and 14), with her husband, Matt.However, people were consistently contacting Martin fortraining–quickly filling up her weeks with at-home, one-on-one training. Not having enough hours in the day to fill thedemand, Martin realized it was time to follow her originalgoal of opening her own studio.

Last fall, all the pieces came together to make SolfulFitness a reality and the destination studio it is today. Afterlocating a perfect (but largely neglected) property in BrownDeer, the Martins “literally built their now studio from theground up,” the trainer said.

And because Martin’s name is on it, she always makessure to give 110 percent.

“I own this, it’s not a franchise, it’s not a chain, and tofinally be here is amazing,” she said. “I want to reach outand create an environment that is community-based andmotivational, and welcoming to all ages, shapes and sizes.I want to provide the community with what they want.”

Martin is very close to her own family (her motherJennifer Jambor Raninen, is co-owner of Modus Design,located within short walking distance of Solful and she,along with her coworkers, often stroll over for lunchtimework-outs) so she encourages families and companies inthe area to come and bond over fitness. Many class timesare set up to conveniently offer working professionals theopportunity to come before work, during lunch breaks orimmediately after work, and the studio provides anatmosphere where families can come to work out together.

“My sons both wrestle and they come here and work

out. I have seen women come and start getting in shapeand then pretty soon they bring their husband; it’s a trickle-down effect,” Martin said. “Brown Deer has come such along way and I am so excited to be part of thistransformation and to introduce as many people aspossible to good health and wellness.”

Martin said the effects of pursuing a lifestyle of fitnessreach far beyond the studio.

“A mom comes in and works out and feels better, soshe’s not as stressed out, she’s more patient with herfamily, she encourages her husband and kids to eat better,then pretty soon, the ball starts rolling and more people arecoming in to work out,” she said. “I am seeing it happen alot already; people come in and meet someone they didn’teven know lived in the area and suddenly they are formingnew friendships and connections.”

The studio is located adjacent to the Oak Leaf trailwhich goes directly through the village. Martin, winner ofthis year’s village 5K Deer Run and a two-time BostonMarathoner (with a time of 3:21), has started arunning/walking group this year utilizing the trail. She likensthe feel of her studio to the “sense of togetherness andinspiration shared by the community of runners.”

In addition to the studio space her building also hasadditional rentable office space, and Martin has bigdreams for the future, perhaps using that extra space togrow her health and wellness vision, starting fundraisersand giving back to the community.

“At Solful Fitness you are not just a number walking inthe door,” the fitness enthusiast promised. “We want youto know us and we want to know you – we’re here toempower you.”

Village Home DelightsNeighborhood withPlayful Penguin Display

ince Brown Deer residents Dave and Yvonnedebuted the penguins that have held court in thefront yard of their residence at 67thStreet andBradley Road approximately 20 years ago, the

aquatic birds have become “their own little celebrities,”said Yvonne, who dresses the little guys accordingly forvarious seasons and holidays.

The penguins have also taken on a life of their own asthey have lived more adventures than the average lawndecoration. It began when Yvonne, who has “alwaysloved penguins,” picked up two plastic versions atMenard’s when her children were young. Since then somehave been stolen and returned by police officers at 2a.m., area residents have unexpectedly dropped off newones and the homeowners have even received a postcardfrom Antarctica.

Yvonne creates the costumes which have ranged fromconstruction workers to Thanksgiving-themed charactersto Halloween fare to a Nativity scene. The penguins’ mostrecent photo-ready look was that of a wedding party.

Residents have left cards and notes thanking thehomeowners for making them smile with their creatively-adorned creatures.

“That is their mission,” says Yvonne of her penguins.“They have been great entertainment.”

ASK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT…Why does a fire engine come when I call for a medical emergency?By Lieutenant Dan Tyk, North Shore Fire/Rescue, EMS Manager & Community Relations Officer

One of the most commonly asked questions by thecommunity at block parties and firehouse tours is: Whydoes a fire engine or truck come when I call 9-1-1 to reporta medical emergency? This is a great question, and theanswer is actually probably much simpler than you mightthink.

The simple answer is that all of our personnel aretrained to at least the Emergency Medical Technician-Basiclevel (EMT-B). This means that every one of our more than90 sworn personnel is licensed at minimum as an EMT-Bin the State of Wisconsin. EMT’s are trained to providebasic life support (BLS) level care. This includes airwaymanagement, splinting and bandaging of wounds, CPRand defibrillation, bleeding control and administration ofsome basic medications. These providers may be ridingon one of our ambulances or even a fire engine or laddertruck.

In addition to the EMT-B’s, about one third of ourpersonnel are trained to the Paramedic level (EMT-P).Paramedics are the highest level of pre-hospitalemergency care in the area. These members are trainedabove the EMT-B level to provide advanced medicationtherapies, start and mange intravenous lines (IV’s), placeadvanced airways, perform invasive procedures to treat acollapsed lung or remove fluid from around the heart,provide advanced assessment of cardiac rhythms andmore. Like our EMT-B’s, when staffing permits, you mayfind some of these paramedic providers riding on our fireengines or trucks in addition to on our ambulances.Additionally, some more critical emergencies may requiresome extra hands, so our dispatchers may send someadditional resources (another ambulance or fireengine/truck) to the scene to assist.

Therefore, the long answer to the question at the startof the article is this: our goal is to get the right careproviders to your side during your emergency in order tobegin stabilization and treatment. If that means that thefire engine who might happen to be just down the streetresponds in addition to our ambulance that can transportyou to the hospital, then that is what we’ll do. As anorganization, we pride ourselves on providing timely,patient-centered, and professional emergency care to allthose who live, work and visit the seven communities weare proud to serve.

When you’re getting your kids ready for the upcomingschool year, make sure to include back-to-school vaccineappointments on your checklist. Starz-Nicholas whollyinvites the community to join in on the fun.

While vaccines are often thought of as something forbabies and young children, preteens and teens also needvaccines to stay healthy throughout the school year.Vaccination protects against serious and potentially life-threatening diseases, including meningitis and cancerscaused by HPV infections. When children are notvaccinated, they are at increased risk for diseases and canalso spread diseases to others in their classrooms andcommunity. Recent outbreaks such as the measlesoutbreak in Minnesota highlight the fact that vaccine-preventable diseases are still around.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)recommends four vaccines for boys and girls when theyare 11 or 12 years old. If your preteen or teen hasn’treceived these vaccines, talk to your doctor about gettingit for them right away. These vaccines include:

• Quadrivalent meningococcal conjugate vaccine,which protects against some of the bacteria that cancause infections of the lining of the brain and spinal cord(meningitis) and bloodstream infections (bacteremia orsepticemia). These illnesses can be very serious, evenfatal.

• Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) vaccine, which helpsprotect against HPV infections that cause cancer. All boysand girls should finish the HPV vaccine series before their13th birthday.

• Tdap vaccine, which protects against three seriousdiseases: tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis/whoopingcough.

• Flu vaccine, which is very important for kids withchronic health conditions like asthma or diabetes, but theflu can be serious for even healthy kids. Protect your familyby having all family members get a flu vaccine every year.

The North Shore Health Department (NSHD) will be hostinga school-aged flu immunization clinic from 9-11 a.m. onSaturday, Oct. 21, 2017 at Nicolet High School. This clinicis open to all North Shore children aged 3-18.

Check with your doctor, or the Wisconsin ImmunizationRegistry (WIR) to make sure that your kids are up to dateon all the vaccines they need. Any missed vaccines shouldbe made up as soon as possible. Access WIR using yourchild’s name, birth date, and social security number at:https://www.dhfswir.org/

Find an immunization schedule listing the vaccinesCDC recommends for your school-aged child at:https://www.cdc.gov/features/back-to-school-vaccines/parent-version-immunization-schedule-7-18yrs.pdf

Most health insurance plans cover the cost of vaccines.If you don't have insurance, or if it does not covervaccines, the Vaccines for Children (VFC) program may beable to help. VFC provides vaccines for children ages 18years and younger, who are not insured, Medicaid-eligible,or American Indian or Alaska Native. Contact the NSHDwith questions about the VFC program, or to schedule anappointment.

will start this newsletter with a welcome to our twonew Village Board members Julie Cook Quirk andCourtney Wedward. Congratulations on yourelections and thank you for being concerned citizens

who are willing to undertake the duties of the board. Theboard is charged with making decisions that have majorimpacts on our community and those decisions arecertainly serious business.

Recently the Village has completed the purchase ofthe Rite Hite property located next to Village Hall. I wantto commend Rite Hite for bringing this matter to anamicable conclusion. The long-term plan is to build anew DPW facility consolidating our services on to onecampus and serve the Village more efficiently.

The school district has been working on a solution tothe increased enrollment and overcrowding in theschool. One of the options being considered is theconversion of the library to school use. Of course that

leaves the Village with theprospect of moving thelibrary to a new building at a new location. The results ofthe school district planning sessions will be made publicin the near future.

The farmers market is now up and running for thesummer season. Stop in and enjoy fresh produce.

The Kohl’s “Off Aisle” store opened Saturday June17, 2017 and shortly you will notice that the CousinsSub Shop is updating the façade of the building. It is myunderstanding that this Cousins location is the busiestCousins in the whole state. Congratulations to CousinsSubs!

The state budget is still being bandied about in theassembly and senate. I would hope that they fund thecompletion of the Zoo Interchange and not suspend itfor the next two years. It will only cost more in two yearsto complete the work. Because of the billion dollarshortfall, the state is looking at more ways to cut intomunicipal revenues. The state is also looking at takingaway the “Personal Property Tax” which is a tax paid bybusinesses on the equipment and other assets of thebusiness. Currently this tax benefits the municipalitiesand if it is usurped by the state it would certainly requiremunicipalities to increase property tax revenues. Wheeltaxes, raising gas taxes, toll roads all have been underconsideration by the state.

On a positive note, summer is off to a great start andwe have a schedule of Vibes events with free music,food and fun in Village Park. In addition, July 4th willhave music from Eddie Butts Band and the same greatfireworks. Come out and celebrate.

This past semester, the school district engaged students,parents, staff, alumni, and community members to help uscreate our new strategic plan “Define our Destiny 2.0.”Our previous plan had served us well as academicachievement is on the rise with the highest rating ever of“Exceeding Expectations” on the State School ReportCard, 100% graduation of our high school seniors, andmore students being served throughout the year inprograms before, during and after-school. We have alsoimplemented more systems as an organization to help us tocontinuously improve in our practice to meet the needs ofall students. These systems include: data retreats,instructional coaching with more consistent feedback toimpact our educational practices, and a Board of Educationcommitted to life-long learning for everyone in the schoolcommunity. Thanks to everyone in the Brown Deer Villagewho helped us pass a $22 million referendum in the worsteconomic recession ever to create a beautiful updatedcampus with 21st century learning spaces, botanicalgardens, classrooms with robust technology access, andthe Novak Family Field House where thousands of peoplehave come to Brown Deer for graduation, athletic events,and celebrations of our community such as the “All-America City.”

Our new strategic plan named “Defining Our Destiny2.0” is in the final stages of development as we take all ofthe information collected at the gallery walks, meetings withcommunity organizations and the CommunityConversation. One of the highlights of the process was theCommunity Conversation for which we had over 85 peopleon a Saturday morning attend to share their ideas on thetrends, issues and challenges of education in Brown Deer.There was a terrific cross-sector representation of

community members - the best so far in any public forum.One of our goals this time around was to increaseengagement that better represented the voices of all ourresidents. Our motto to accomplish this goal was “to go tothe people” instead of expecting people to attend eveningmeetings.

The district also surveyed families in the village andcommunity groups, including businesspeople, clergy andmembers of the Brown Deer Women's Club. Thosesurveyed saw class sizes, teacher retention and disciplineas the three top financial challenges for the school system.The two things most often mentioned as desirableadditions for the school system were expanded classroomspace, more world-ready courses such as foreign languageand computer science classes and greater emphasis onvocational and life skills. Special thanks to theadministrative team, board members, and our consultantDrew Howick who helped to facilitate this process.

In conclusion, all of the results and communityresponses will be reviewed this summer with enrollmentand facilities studies being developed. Our major goal is tomake sure our high school graduates are ready for college,career, and for life no matter what pathway they choose.The updated strategic plan will be ready for review this fallas we kick off the new school year with our updated planfor our future. Stay tuned for more details at Forms andFees Days (Aug. 3 and 8 from noon to 8 p.m.) as wecontinue to share updated progress on the plan. We arelooking forward to our new plan of “Defining our Destiny2.0” to accomplish even more than we did before as all ofour kids deserve the very best education that we can offer.It truly does take a Village!
