ne of my favorite parts
of being a family physician is thatmany of my
patients are part of the same
family.
I might see a child for their
well-child check and also see
his parents or siblings for their
routine visits. A discussion I
have with one family member
applies to other family members, as well.
One thing
I often ask
about when
either children
or adultscome
in for a preventive visit
is nutrition.
Thats because
Ozbeki
keeping consistent, positive nutritional
habits is a barrier many people
face myself included particularly when it comes to spending the time to make meals at
home.
Eating meals out can be more
convenient and even less expensive than cooking at home. It
can feel time-consuming to
cook dinner on a regular basis,
especially when you include the
time to plan meals and grocery
shop.
One solution some of my
patients have had success with
is turning meal preparation
into a family activity. When
parents and kids work on meal
planning and food preparation
together, what at first seems like
a chore can turn into a productive and enjoyable time with
each other.
Grocery shopping can also
become quality family and
social time. One of the ways I
stock up on fresh produce for
luck!).
After you decide what to
cook and shop for groceries,
the next step is actually cooking the meal. This is an area
school-aged children can still be
involved in. Helping measure,
wash and chop foods, while
learning safe kitchen skills are
all parts of the food preparation
that kids can be involved with.
Eating breakfast and lunch at
home can sometimes be even
more difficult than making
dinner. Sometimes, running
out the door in the morning
means I may be tempted to skip
breakfast, so Ive made it part of
my evening routine to prepare
the next mornings breakfast.
I might soak oats overnight
in a Tupperware container to
take to work in the morning, or
pre-chop vegetables for an egg
scramble to make in the morning.
Oftentimes, leftovers from
dinner can be used as packed
lunches.
Spending a few extra minutes making larger portions can
result in more food available
for the rest of the week. A lot of
times, the same side dishes can
be repeated for meals throughout the week, as well.
An important part of a persons overall health includes
healthy nutritional habits, but
making sure that they are consistent with a familys lifestyle
is important, too. Preparing and
enjoying meals together can lay
the groundwork for a healthy
lifestyle, but also benefit families in other far-reaching ways.
Tina Ozbeki is a first-year
resident at the UW-Health Verona Clinic who has an interest in
preventive medicine.

Thats what Verona residents
will have the opportunity to do
Friday at Strollin Verona, featuring 11 bands performing at
five venues across the city.
For local jazz fans, its a smorgasboard. For the Greater Madison Jazz Consortium, the events
organizer, its an effort to spread
the genre. And
for Verona, its a
chance to showcase several venues.

This is the first time in seven jazz strolls, handled by the
Greater Madison Jazz Consortium, that the event will occur
outside of Madison.
Its always great to add some
more arts to the area, Jordan
said.
Organizers hope to attract 500
people to the five venues: Avanti
Italian Restaurant, Toot + Kates
Winebar, Hop Haus Brewing
Company, Wisconsin Brewing
Company and (the lone outdoor
spot) Hometown Junction Park.
Jordan anticipates jazz fans
from beyond Verona will attend.
Its going to be terrific for

of people still dont know all the
places that Verona has to offer.

Q. My son/daughter is graduating from high school and will begin his/her college career.
A. Students are ending their college careers with a boatload of student debt. Here are some ideas to
make this burden a little more bearable. First of all, know the details of the note: the interest rate, term,
amount of any up-front fees, pre-payment penalties, when interest and payments start, payment amounts
and flexibility, and how interest is calculated. Not all student debt is the same, so knowing these details
will help you select the correct loan option. If your loan accrues interest while in school, avoid the
compounding of interest by paying at least the interest as you go. Pay extra on the loan principal as soon
Dennis Baker
as the payments start. You may have to change some spending habits to find the extra cash for these
EA, CFP
extra payments, but it will be well worth it. Better yet, continue to spend like you are still a student even
though you just landed a well-paying job. This will allow you to pay off your student loans quickly and
reduce significantly the amount of interest you would otherwise end up paying. Also, be sure to take advantage of any grants,
scholarships, work-study programs, and part-time jobs that would help to reduce the amount of loans needed.

dislike occurs from exposure to a variety of foods and drinks and from age. Tooth enamel is hard
and durable but its also porous, making it susceptible to stains. Surface stains can often be polished
off by a dentist and sometimes by whitening toothpastes. Pastes utilize a more aggressive abrasive
to serve their function. They do not actively whiten. Below surface discoloration can often be
treated with topical whitening gels thru the supervision or treatment of a dentist or thru select,
Over-the-Counter whitening strips products. Whitening gels are carbamide peroxide or hydrogen
Dr. James Sands, DDS
peroxide based chemicals that get into the enamel layer and produce a chemical reaction or oxidation that breaks down the staining compounds. When used properly, they are safe and effective. Whitening can cause some
tooth and gum sensitivity and in rare cases tooth pain or damage. The potency of these chemicals determines the speed and
aggressiveness of the whitening. The type of delivery of these agents is what differentiates the types of whitening, whether it
be dentist administered In-Office whitening, dentist supervised Take-home whitening, or Over-theCounter Whitening Strips. Give us a call and we can go over which option might be best for you.

A.
A. In a hot sellers market like we have right now, buyers are competing for homes and driving up sale prices. Thats
great for a seller, until the appraisal. Occasionally in an inflating market the recent comparable sale values just arent
there to support the contract price of a property. Recently weve seen several appraisals come in low. If there is no
appraisal contengcy and a buyer with strong financing, its not a problem. However, if there is an appraisal contingency
the seller may be forced into lowering the sale price to appraised value to make the deal work, or letting the sale fall apart
in hopes that the next buyer and appraiser can make a sale happen. Most often the buyer and the seller will negotiate to
some middle ground to make the deal come together. Although, the buyer has to be capable of making it work with their
financing. Lenders will only lend on the basis of appraised value. This means that if the appraised value is lower than the
purchase price, the lender views the purchase as having a smaller downpayment percentage than it really has. This could
affect other loan expenses such as private mortgage insurance. In any case, if the appraisal comes in low, usually a deal
can still be worked out, you just need competent and experienced professionals to help you work through it.

and most important rule, is do not panic. Secure your vehicle and call the cops, and the ambulance if you are

that is going on around you. Make notes of the other driver, his/her vehicle condition, and his/her license plate

A. Barking at things constantly outside is a really big problem for some dogs. The
problem originates in your dogs need to protect you and actually is a very submissive behavior (towards you). When dogs are in a pack the most submissive dogs
will signal danger and alert the alpha dog. They are looking for a response from the
alpha dog to determine further action. Yelling random words at them is the natural
tendency for us humans but can spur them on because of the uncertainty as to how

they are to react. One way to control your dogs behavior with doglike behavior on
your part is to go to the window and stand between your dog and the inciting behavior. This acknowledges that something is indeed there and you are aware of it. After this gesture a simple
command like off and then sit (with a treat after they sit) is needed. This routine must be repeated many
times until the off command is all that is needed.

*Capitol Banks Home Equity Line of Credit includes a 1.99% Annual Percentage Rate (APR) for the first 9 months
following closing for qualified applicants. Variable APR as low as 4.00% thereafter. After the introductory period
ends, the APR will vary to reflect changes in an index, but will not be lower than 4.00%. Without this interlocutory
APR, using the current index rate of 3.50% and a margin of 0%, the APR would be the minimum rate of 4.00%. Using
the index rate and a margin of 2.50%, the APR would be 6.00%. This introductory rate requires a new home equity
line of credit, secured by a first or second lien on the home, this credit plus the amount of other credit secured by
the home do not exceed 80% of the property value, that you already own the home, that you maintain a qualified
Capitol Bank checking account during the term of the line of credit. How your rate is determined: The index that
is used to determine the APR is the Prime Rate published in the Midwest Edition of the Wall Street Journal. As
of February 11, 2016 the Prime Rate was 3.5%. After the 9 month introductory APR period ends, the APR is
variable and will consist of the Prime Rate plus a margin ranging from 0% to 2.5% depending upon the occupancy
status of the property, the combined loan to value ratio, maintaining a Capitol Bank checking account and your
creditworthiness; however, the APR will not be less than 4.00% or greater 18.00% under any circumstances. Any
APR rate changes on your billing statement will be determined as disclosed above. See your billing statement for
actual APR rate changes and effective dates. Other charges: An annual fee of $35.00 applies to all accounts and will
be assessed on the anniversary date of the loan. Appraisal, title costs, recording fees, and flood determination fees
range from $200 to $1,000. Insurance on the property securing this loan is required and payable by the borrower.
Other requirements: This offer is only valid in the State of Wisconsin and is subject to credit approval and
property evaluation. Proceeds for this account may not be used to pay off an existing Capitol Bank line of
credit unless an increase of $10,000 in line availability is established. Limited time offer subject to change.

Recruiting challenges
The discussion currently taking place has created
an uncertainty that is reinforcing the problems of the
last few years, Lake said,
because parents are unsure
about what could happen
after 2017 if they start their
students in the school.
When Ive been going
out and talking to people,
we have people that want
to join our school but with
the uncertainty at this point,
theyre not ready to commit
today, Lake said. We want
to know what our future is
because when youre
sending a kindergartner to
school its scary.
As of Monday night, the
school had also added at
least three more enrollees to
its 2015-16 group, new GC
president Carolyn Jahnke
told the school board.
But Zook was not sure a
two-year extension would
solve the problem, anyway.
A charter contract in itself
creates some uncertainty for
parents, she said, noting that
the same conversation would
come up in two years if they
approved the extension.
Whatever is ultimately decided, it likely wont
please everyone.
Perhaps a sustainable
solution is not a solution that
would be the most popular
one, Zook said. Theres
risks and benefits to each of
the models.

adno=460220-01
Open enrollment:
blessing and curse
While open enrollment has served as a boon to the
districts budget in recent years, its more complicated
in a charter school.
Open-enrollment students who reside outside of
the district but request a spot in a Verona Area School
District school bring revenue for the district along
with their enrollment. But its only about half the
money a resident student brings.
That means its helpful to fill openings here and
there within schools to fill a class size, but having
nearly half of a class at a charter school filled that
way is not ideal for funding.
Reliance on open enrollment also complicates the
further Chinese education options, because open-enrollment students must re-enroll between fifth and
sixth grade, and in recent years the district has not
had any openings at the sixth-grade level, leaving the
class of VAIS students remaining in VASD in the long
term small.
Scott Girard
school wants.
The key debate was which
of the options would provide
the strongest guarantee of a
sustainable program.
I think being a strand puts
us at a little higher risk, said
GC treasurer Tracy Doeppers.
I think VAIS is pretty
high-risk right now, given the enrollment, Gorrell
responded.
Because spots have been
filled through open enrollment, and students who
come in through open enrollment provide only about half
per student what a district
resident student does, the
school ends up being more
expensive for the district than
others.
The GCs plan to alleviate
some of that risk involves
increased partnership with
district officials, including
easier access to extracurricular activities and more promotion of the school.
But that did not necessarily
make sense to Gorrell, who
noted that a charter agreement exists to deliberately
separate the school from the
district.
Its really been a handsoff approach because thats
been the desired approach
from the charters, he said.
Strong results
Whatever the concerns
about recruiting and enrollment, there is general agreement about the programs

district budget, she said.
With my own budget, I
might take a better chance at
that.
The district originally had
a $2.3 million hole in its budget, but it filled that through
a better-than-expected health
insurance deal and lower
projected costs for retirees,
mostly. That left the budget
nearly even, without much
wiggle room for adding such
a large expense on a recurring basis.
If you were to use a fund
balance contribution for next
year my advice would be
after one year you get this
built into the budgeting process, said business manager
consultant Chris Murphy.
Its easy to say now. When
were sitting down next
December with the next budget, it could be a more difficult thing.
The goal, Zook said,
would be to ensure equity
among the schools, especially as the district moves forward with its personalized
learning initiatives, and give
the board more time to build
technology in as a regular
expense.
Just to give us another
year to look at the budget and
figure out how were going to
make this a utility, she said.
