FRANKLIN, Wisconsin — A group of Milwaukee kids got some great life skills this Summer. The Hunger Task Force has a program called “Cooking with Culture.”

They brought kids out for their six-week program which has kids harvest fruits and vegetables at the Hunger Task Force Farm in Franklin.
On Tuesday, the kids finished up the program, and enchiladas were on the menu.
“I helped with the carrots and the enchiladas,” said Nylon Robertson, a seven-year-old in the program.

The fruits and vegetables served with the enchiladas were harvested at the garden.
“They get to actually take what they harvest in the garden,” said Pasua Chang, a community dietitian at the Hunger Task Force. “They bring it to the kitchen and they get to cook with it, they get to eat it, they get to try different fruits and vegetables”

The kids put together the filling for the enchiladas, they rolled up the tortillas and spread the sauce on top.
Throughout the summer, kids got to experiment with different cultural foods. For example, the farm harvested okra and used it to make gumbo.
“It’s also definitely very new to them too because they might not be able to get these experiences at home,” said Chang.

Each kid was also sent home with supplies to grow their cabbage plant. It’s all to keep them involved in healthy eating as the summer program ends.
“We encourage them to eat the My Plate Model and so hopefully when they go to school I should eat a little bit of everything from the five food groups,” said Chang.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
