2015 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse

18th Annual

Showhouse For A Cure 2015 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse Saturday, May 30 through Sunday, June 14 3965 North Lake Drive, Shorewood

Celebrating 18 Years 2015 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, “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 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 have 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.”

WBCS, Inc. is pleased to dedicate its 18th annual Showhouse for a Cure in honor of survivor, wife, newspaper executive, and publishing industry and community advocate, Elizabeth “Betsy” Brenner.

Dear Showhouse Sponsors, Guests, and Friends Welcome to the 2015 Showhouse for a Cure. WBCS was founded in 1998 as an all-volunteer 501 (C) (3) charitable organization. With the dedication of thousands of volunteers and the generous support of the community, WBCS has raised over $5.45 million dollars for early-stage breast cancer and prostate cancer research at the Medical College of Wisconsin. This is an amazing feat, and a true testament to the spirit of the greater Milwaukee community.

Please take a few moments to read through the acknowledgment section of your program which lists the individuals and businesses who make WBCS a success. We welcome your participation in WBCS. Many opportunities are available on our website at www.breastcancershowhouse.org.

2015 WBCS Scientific Review Research for a Cure WBCS, Inc. invested $350,000 in research in 2014, with a cumulative sum of $5.45 million in seed funding. Over time, this has enabled researchers to leverage our support into an additional $43.7 million in competitive external research awards, a $6.1 million increase over 2013. Ming You, MD, PhD, MCW Cancer Center Director, describes our all-volunteer organization’s $5.45 million in research support since 1998 as having a “transformational” impact on breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Dr. You elaborates, “Contributions from WBCS are so powerful because the impact goes far beyond the initial gift.

genetic risks that contribute to breast cancer development. Dr. Amit Joshi, a new Associate Professor in the Department of Radiology, is developing techniques to track drugs in the body to ensure that these drugs attack only breast cancer cells without hurting normal cells.

The addition of these researchers has strengthened the consortium of multidisciplinary investigators working together to identify an interrelated, synergistic proposal to submit to the NCI for large institutional funding.

WBCS Scientific Review Committee The WBCS Scientific Review Committee (SRC) meets annually to review grant proposals and recommend approval and funding by the WBCS board of directors. Dr. Ravi Misra, PhD, Dean of the Graduate School, chairs the MCW peer scientist review committee that reviews and ranks all proposals before they are presented to the SRC for further evaluation and discussion. The purpose of the SRC, in partnership with the MCW Cancer Center, is to provide oversight and focus to the allocation of WBCS funds provided by the annual Showhouse for a Cure and its supporting events.

2015 Independent Seed Grants Michael Flister, PhD Assistant Professor, Department of Physiology, Medical College of Wisconsin Research Title: “Identifying Chemo-Resistance Mechanisms in the Tumor Microenvironment” Last year nearly 40,000 breast cancer-associated deaths occurred, of which many are related to acquired drug resistance in recurrent tumors. Malignant tumors contain cancer cells as well as non-cancerous cells. These non-cancerous cells help to make up the tumor microenvironment (TME). They are important in the development of breast cancer progression and metastasis, and the development of cancer resistance to chemotherapies. Current breast cancer research focuses on the cancerous breast tumor

cells alone, missing determinants of cancer risk in the TME. We propose to examine the role of the TME in breast cancer acquired resistance to chemotherapeutic drugs in triple negative breast cancer, which is breast cancer that lacks estrogen and progesterone receptors. This type of breast cancer is particularly aggressive and currently lacks targeted treatments. Our goal is to improve patient treatment and therapeutic outcomes for triple negative breast cancer by identifying new therapeutic targets in the TME.

Hyeongnam (Joseph) Jeong, PhD

Assistant Professor, Department of Dermatology, Medical College of Wisconsin Research Title: “The Role of TPL2 Activation in Androgen Depletion Independent (ADl) Prostate Cancer Growth” Prostate cancer initially occurs when cells in the prostate grow uncontrollably, from which it spreads to other organs, especially the bones. Statistically, it affects 1 in 6 American men. Initially, prostate cancer relies on androgen signals to sustain its growth, and providing effective therapy relies on androgen depletion. As prostate cancer progresses it can develop into a much more aggressive androgen independent form that is refractory to androgen depleting therapy. Understanding the mechanism of this switch is

important for developing effective targeted therapies to prostate cancer. We have identified a kinase protein termed TPL-2 that appears to be a regulator of the switch from androgen-dependent to independent forms of prostate cancer. This proposal will use a transgenic TPL-2 animal model recently developed by the applicant to address the in vivo role of TPL-2 in invasiveness and metastasis of prostate cancer in androgen independent cancer to identify potential areas for future targeted therapies.

Mark McNally, PhD Associate Professor, Department of Microbiology & Molecular Genetics Medical College of Wisconsin Research Title: “The Mechanisms of SmgGDS Alternative Splicing” DNA encodes information, organized as genes, which can give rise to an RNA intermediate, which in turn gives rise to proteins.

Prior to protein synthesis these RNA intermediates undergo a process known as RNA splicing that allows for the formation of multiple proteins from a single gene. It is well documented that RNA splicing of some genes can go awry in cancer. One such gene important for cancer is SmgGDS, which comes in two splice forms, one of which is primarily involved in breast cancer and is

2015 Showhouse For A Cure

a target for developing cancer therapies. However, nothing is known about what regulates SmgGDS splicing decisions in cancer cells. We seek to gain a basic understanding of how the SmgGDS splicing decision is made with the goal of uncovering novel “druggable” targets that will lead to therapies to reduce the level of the cancer-promoting SmgGDS splice form.

2015 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse Hallgeir Rui, MD, PhD Joins MCW Cancer Center Faculty as WBCS Endowed Chair WBCS fulfilled its commitment to MCW to fund an endowed chair in 2014. Soon, a search committee was formed and recruitment begun to seek an outstanding candidate for the WBCS endowed chair. As a result of the search, not one, but two key scientists, Hallgeir Rui, MD, PhD and Marja Nevalainen, MD, PhD, will be joining the Medical College of Wisconsin Cancer Center (MCWCC) on July 1, 2015.

Dr. Rui, Professor and Vice Chair of Cancer Biology and Scientific Director of the Jefferson Breast Care Center at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, has been named the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse (WBCS) Endowed Chair in Basic Breast Cancer Research and Professor of Pathology at MCW. Dr. Rui has a strong history of successful breast cancer research, leadership of multidisciplinary teams and mentoring of junior faculty, students and staff. He is the principal investigator of an NCI R01 and an NCI R21 and has made a series of contributions to increase understanding of the molecular mechanisms of breast cancer. Dr. Rui leads an inter-institutional consortium of multidisciplinary investigators to classify malignant breast tumors based on the expression of druggable target proteins for improved personalized cancer care, an effort initiated by a $6.7 million, five-year Komen Promise Grant. Since 2006, Dr. Rui has directed the Pathology Translational Research Core Facility, which provides basic and advanced histotechnology and tissue procurement services for more than 50 principal investigators.

In his new position, Dr. Rui will build on existing MCW expertise and research activities to assemble a core interdisciplinary

team of researchers who will conduct a wide spectrum of breast cancer research. Dr. Rui will serve as a WBCS spokesperson, participate in fund raising efforts, and build strong connections with the community and potential donors.

Additionally, Dr. Rui will serve as the MCWCC’s Associate Director of Basic Science. Dr. Rui’s experience as a research program leader and a shared resource director at an NCI-designated cancer center is expected to provide the ideal background for this new role. As Associate Director of Basic Science, Dr. Rui will be responsible for leadership of the basic science research programs, Cancer Biology and Tumor Progression and Metastasis, and oversight of all Cancer Center shared resources.

Dr. Nevalainen, Associate Professor of Cancer Biology and Associate Director for Education and Training at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia, has been named to the new leadership position of MCWCC Associate Director of Education. She also will serve as Professor of Pathology at MCW. Dr. Nevalainen’s current research focus is prostate cancer, working to develop effective pharmacological therapies for advanced cases. She has been NCI funded since 2005 and is the principal investigator on an NCI R01 and R21. She has received multiple grants from the Department of Defense Prostate Cancer Program and American Cancer Society, including a Research Scholar Grant. In addition to multiple awards and honors, in December 2014, Dr. Nevalainen was awarded the 2014 Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center Innovator of the Year Award. Prostate cancer is also a focus of WBCS in early-stage research support.

WBCS welcomes Dr. Rui as the WBCS Endowed Chair in Basic Breast Cancer Research. Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 individuals.

Prostate cancer affects 1 in 6 men. We look forward to working with both Dr. Rui and Dr. Nevalainen to support further advancements and ultimately cures for these devastating diseases.

Christy Foote Fighter Award The WBCS board of directors established the Christy Foote Fighter Award in 2014 to recognize the tireless efforts of an individual or entity dedicated to ending breast cancer and prostate cancer. This award may be given annually in memory of past WBCS board member and founding Tee Up for a Cure chair Christine Hamilton Foote (March 12, 1950-February 5, 2014).

Christy fought cancer with grace, a quiet dignity, and always with hope. Despite the challenges she faced over many years, Christy continued to raise funds for research and work for cures right up to the end of her life. She will continue to be an inspiration to those fighting cancer and to those who are seeking cures.

2015 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse Showhouse for a Cure

by Kay Brogelman

In 2001, the last remaining single vacant lot in Shorewood was sold, and in 2004, a spectacular house was constructed on it. Located at 3965 N. Lake Drive, the Tuscan-style house has been chosen as the 2015 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse Inc.’s 18th Anniversary Showhouse for a Cure.

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.

2015 Wisconsin Breast Cancer Showhouse Continued from page 17

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 stonetopped 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 were built. A bronze, iron, copper and steel fountain was installed in the park in 1969. It remained until the Plensa sculpture was erected and is now in storage.

Intriguing playground equipment designed for both kids and adults and an expanded pathway to the beach have enhanced the park and beach recently. Repair of the jetties and a contemplative area are long-range plans for the park and beach.

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.

Upholstered pieces bring in elements of the Mediterranean style of the home and lush greenery brings a touch of the outdoors in from the patio outside the French doors. We invite you to visit any of our talented designers and discover the look and feel you’ve always wanted for your home.
