YSU women come up short in Milwaukee
Sport
Youngstown State will begin a three-game homestand on Thursday by hosting Purdue Fort Wayne at 6:30 p.m.
The Youngstown State women’s basketball team had a frantic comeback bid in the fourth quarter come up short, and the Penguins fell 66-58 at Milwaukee on Saturday afternoon.
YSU led 32-23 with 2:37 left in the first half after Malia Magestro made three 3-pointers in a span of 74 seconds. However, the Panthers scored the final eight points of the second quarter as part of a 24-2 run that stretched nearly nine minutes into the third quarter.
Milwaukee extended its lead to 55-39 a minute into the fourth, but the Penguins went on a 21-3 burst to get within 60-58 with 2:20 remaining. YSU did not score the rest of the contest, and Milwaukee’s Kamy Peppler hit a dagger 3-pointer with 24 seconds left to give the Panthers a five-point cushion. UWM added three free throws for the final tally.
Magestro led the Penguins with 18 points, and she made four of the team’s nine 3-pointers. Dena Jarrells finished with 17 points while making three 3s, and Emily Saunders had nine points and nine rebounds.
Peppler, who leads the Horizon League in 3-pointers, finished with 24 points on five 3s, one two and seven free throws. Milwaukee also had nine 3-pointers, and the Panthers made a triple in the final 30 seconds of each quarter.
Youngstown State is now 6-12 overall and 2-6 in Horizon League play, and Milwaukee is 10-9 and 4-4.
YSU scored on its first three possessions of the game and led 8-2 after three minutes, and the Penguins held a 14-9 advantage at the end of the opening period. The Panthers, without leading scorer Kendall Nead, had three players get whistled for two fouls in the quarter, including Peppler.
Jarrells’ second 3 of the first 11 minutes gave YSU a 17-11 lead early in the second quarter, but Milwaukee went on a 9-2 run and took its first lead at 20-19. Saunders put the Penguins back up 21-20, and Magestro hit a long two and three 3-pointers from the 4:28 mark to the 2:37 mark as Youngstown State took its largest lead of the day at 32-23.
After Magestro’s 3 with 2:37 remaining in the second period, YSU’s only points until the 1:17 mark of the third was a layup by Abby Liber with 4:33 on the third-quarter clock. By the time Paige Shy hit a 3 with 1:17 left, Milwaukee had built a 50-37 lead.
Jorey Buwalda hit a 3-pointer in the final seconds to extend the Panthers’ lead to 53-39, and she made two free throws to start the fourth to give UWM its largest lead at 16.
Despite suffering through a 2-for-19 stretch after Magestro’s 3-pointer in the second quarter, Youngstown State kept fighting and made a run at a huge comeback. Shy followed Buwalda’s free throws with a 3-pointer, a free throw by Magestro, and a long two by Jarrells that was originally ruled a 3 followed as YSU got within 55-45 with 7:22 on the clock.
Milwaukee’s lead was 59-48 when the Penguins made one last charge and held the Panthers without a field goal for more than four-and-a-half minutes. Magestro hit a 3 near the end of the shot clock to make it a one-possession game at 59-56 with 2:47 left, and Jarrells followed a Milwaukee free throw with a layup to make the score 60-58 with 2:20 remaining.
YSU missed on its next trip down the floor, and the Penguins’ possession that began with 1:16 left resulted in a shot clock violation. Milwaukee called timeout with 11 seconds on the shot clock and 29 on the game clock on its next possession, and two Penguins defenders collided after the inbounds pass. That left Peppler wide open in front of the Milwaukee bench, and she banked in the opportunity to put Milwaukee up 63-58.
YSU was turned away on its next two possessions, and Milwaukee went 3-for-4 from the free-throw line.

Video circulating this week shows masked federal agents in Milwaukee arresting people. City leaders say the face coverings violate a city ordinance — but whether federal agents are required to follow local ordinances is a legal question that may ultimately be decided by a federal judge.

Local attorney Russell Jones said the answer depends on the specific ordinance and what federal authorities are doing.
“The issue becomes whether or not the local ordinances interfere with the operations of the federal officers acting under federal law. If it does, federal law will supersede it. Right, it’s the supremacy clause of the Constitution. If it doesn’t interfere with their operations, then typically they will follow those ordinances. So that’s really the question: do the ordinances interfere with the legitimate operations of the federal agency?” Jones explained.
For the past week, masked federal agents have been seen in Wisconsin arresting people they say are in the country illegally.

Do federal agents have to follow Milwaukee’s face covering and park ordinances?
Galo Suarez described one encounter.
“They broke our side window, and they told us that if we didn’t comply, we would face several heavy consequences,” Suarez said.
Images have also surfaced of what appear to be federal agents in Milwaukee County parks.
Federal agents wearing masks and being in county parks, according to city and county leaders, are against local ordinances.
Milwaukee’s city ordinance prohibits law enforcement officers from wearing face coverings. A Milwaukee County ordinance prohibits any law enforcement agency from using a park as a staging area without a permit.
When asked whether a resolution to the legal question was possible now, Jones said it likely falls to the courts.
“That’s a question that eventually probably some federal judge will answer,” Jones said.
Before the city’s face covering ordinance was passed, City Attorney Evan Goyke wrote in a memo that “it is legal and enforceable.”
Enforcement of the ordinance would fall to Milwaukee Police, who earlier this week said they have “requested a formal written legal opinion from the city attorney’s office regarding the ordinance’s applicability and enforceability.” TMJ4 News reached out to Goyke on this and is waiting to hear back.
ICE has already stated it “will not abide by unconstitutional bans,” noting that “ICE officers wear face coverings for one reason: to protect themselves and their families from real-world threats including agitators.”
Jones said the practical challenge of enforcing a local ordinance against federal officers adds another layer of complexity.
“Enforcing a local ordinance right is typically done with an arrest or issuing a ticket, and certainly arresting ICE officers would interfere with their operations,” Jones added. “Ultimately, a federal judge will decide if these ordinances interfere with federal operations, and if they do, they will be superseded by federal law, and if they don’t, then ICE would likely have to follow them.”

A hospital bed. That was the only thing that could stop Dominique Paul Noth from doing a review.
An ice storm tried a couple of years ago, coming to Milwaukee the same night as a dance recital. It failed. When he could no longer drive and gave up his license, one of his children would take him, or he’d Uber to a performance. That was his level of dedication.
Then, one month before his passing, Noth, stuck in a hospital bed and hooked up to an oxygen tank, acquiesced, calling his editor to inform him he would not be able to review Agatha Christie’s “And Then There Were None.” For the first time in his 60 years as an arts critic in Milwaukee, the show would go on without him.
“He was not happy about it,” his son Vincent said.
“It’s something I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do before,” added Paul, the third oldest Noth’s nine children.
Noth, who influenced Milwaukee’s discussion of culture and the arts for close to six decades, died on June 26 at 84 years old. He had advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated by heart failure.
Conceived while his parents were escaping the Nazis in France, Noth was born in New York in 1942. He moved to Milwaukee as a teenager and went to Marquette University, where he fell in love with the arts.
Noth graduated in 1963, and worked in New York for three years before being hired by the Milwaukee Journal, where he worked in a variety of positions for three decades. Starting as a copy editor, he soon made a switch to news writing before becoming a film and drama critic.
He kept rising, becoming an arts and senior features editor, working on the publication’s beloved Green Sheet in the 1970’s. Noth stayed at the newspaper long enough to serve as the first online news producer for the merged Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
In the 1970’s and 80’s, he also taught a film course at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. After leaving the Journal Sentinel, he served as editor-in-chief of The Milwaukee Labor Press for a decade before becoming a contributing theater and culture critic for Urban Milwaukee.
Noth’s writing earned numerous honors, including nine gold medals from The Milwaukee Press Club for Best Critic. Never afraid to ruffle feathers with searing reviews, Noth said “the force fizzled” in “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.” He even briefly got himself banned from reviewing a Skylight Theater show in 1974 because of past rhetoric.
“He approached Milwaukee as if it was New York, L.A., Chicago,” said Jeannie Gaffigan, Noth’s oldest daughter. “He really always believed in Milwaukee, and always believed in the arts in Milwaukee.”
His access to subjects often set him apart. Once, when Cary Grant was getting into a taxi to go to the airport, Noth followed the actor into the cab to secure an exclusive interview. He also got a one-on-one with Steven Spielberg by talking his way past security after the filmmaker spurned other media.
Noth juggled working tirelessly with raising a family, and often involved them in his jobs. He would take his children to exclusive, private screenings and even more exclusive interviews. His kids attended his UWM classes, and sat in the Milwaukee Journal offices while he typed his reviews.
He also loved to cook and bake, making everything from scratch.
“I have no idea how he did as much as he did,” son Paul said. “He was able to accomplish a lot.”
Even though his body was not fit to leave the hospital, Noth was able to give his family one final gift before he died. Surrounded by all his kids and many grandkids, Noth went around the room and gave a personalized goodbye to everybody.
“It’s a great blessing,” Paul said, “but it’s also a very emotional, devastating time.”
Noth told them even though he could no longer continue to make the world a better place, he trusted each and every one of them to carry on that legacy.
In that vein, his family established the Dominique Paul Noth Memorial Fund, which is now accepting donations. The fund, according to its website, will be used to support charitable causes that enrich the greater Milwaukee community, foster creativity and education, and strengthen civic life.
A celebration of life for Noth will begin at 2 p.m. on August 2 at Turner Hall, followed by a memorial tribute at 4 p.m.

Hundreds rally on Milwaukee’s South Side against ICE arrests and in solidarity with immigrants
Hundreds of people gathered at Kosciuszko Park on Milwaukee’s South Side, marching through the neighborhood and raising signs in protest of recent ICE arrests across Wisconsin.

Community members, organizations, and city leaders joined together in the march, which organizers said is meant to be peaceful and to raise awareness about human rights.
“We are standing in solidarity; we don’t believe what’s happening out here in the streets is valid. We think this administration is messed up and we see the politics trickling down now to Milwaukee,” Christina Lopez-Prado said.
The protest comes after federal agents conducted a series of arrests across Wisconsin in the last couple of days. The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement Tuesday that they have arrested 39 people and that many of them have criminal histories.

Protest held over ICE activity in Milwaukee
TMJ4 has been covering the recent ICE arrests, getting video and finding multiple people without any criminal record who have been detained by ICE.
“As an immigrant myself from Guatemala, I sympathize so much with the people of my community. Especially those who live in fear for what ICE is doing to our communities,” Julia said. “I have hope because the only thing stronger than fear is hope.”
Emilio De Torre of Milwaukee Turners said the nature of the arrests has shaken the community.
“It’s disruptive. People are afraid to go outside, afraid of being racially profiled,” De Torre said.
De Torre also addressed what demonstrators want from the federal government.
“Milwaukee does not want the kind of chaos that has been reigned down in Minneapolis, in Chicago, in LA. We want our federal government to follow the Constitution, to follow due process, and to make sure their reactions meet the thing that necessitated it,” De Torre said.
DHS said in its statement that all people arrested have or will receive full due process and will remain in ICE custody pending their removal or removal proceedings.
TMJ4 reached out to DHS for an updated number on arrests made in Wisconsin. They did not provide any new information.
