Jan. 20, 2010 10:16 a.m. | Oak Creek has decided to allow stores that sell gasoline to also sell beer, while Cudahy apparently will not loosen restrictions on the number of stores that can sell alcohol.
The Oak Creek Common Council on Tuesday repealed a 12-year-old ordinance that prohibited retailers that sell gasoline from also selling beer and liquor.
The repeal was recommended in a city staff memo. According to the memo, the Kwik Trip convenience store chain is proposing to build a gas station/convenience store south of the intersection of S. 13th St. and W. Ryan Road that would include a beer section.
Kwik Trip has a number of stores in the state that sell beer, or beer and liquor, and have had no problems in any of the stores, the memo says.
In Cudahy, licenses for retailers to sell packaged beer, liquor or wine are limited to one for every 4,000 residents.

Jan. 20, 2010 12:03 a.m. | Ashley Luke and Angela Rodriguez led a spirited charge that ended the Muskego girls basketball team's 25-game Southeast Conference winning streak.
Luke scored nine of her team-high 15 points in the fourth quarter as visiting Oak Creek rallied for a 47-43 win Tuesday.
Rodriguez, who missed the two previous games with an ankle injury, shook off a rough return to score seven of her 11 points in the fourth, all coming during the Knights' game-ending 16-4 run.
Oak Creek trailed, 39-31, after Muskego's Alyssa Colla hit a 3-pointer with about 5 minutes to go. But Rodriguez nailed a jumper and teammate Cydney Weisflog knocked down a 3 to trim the Warriors' lead to 39-36.
Muskego's Katie Ellerson, who had a game-high 17 points, put her team ahead, 41-36, with a tough turnaround jumper, but Luke answered with a drive through the lane and Rodriguez sandwiched consecutive shots, including a 3, around a layup by Colla in a 20-second span to tie the game at 43-43.

Jan. 19, 2010 5:02 p.m. | Oak Creek — The Common Council tonight will consider repealing a 12-year-old ordinance that prohibits retailers that sell gasoline from also selling beer and liquor.
The repeal is being recommended by city staff.
According to a staff memo, the Kwik Trip convenience store chain is proposing to build a gas station/convenience store south of the intersection of S. 13th St. and W. Ryan Road that would include a beer section.
Kwik Trip has a number of stores in the state that sell beer, or beer and liquor, and have had no problems in any of the stores, the memo says.
Oak Creek limits so-called Class A licenses for the sale of packaged beer and liquor to one for every 2,000 residents, but has no quota for the number of retailers that sell packaged beer.
