insisting on more!
Eating slower can also help with
portion control, because it can take
some time for our bodies to register
that we are full. Alcohol intake
can also add to excess unnecessary
calories during a holiday meal,
especially heavier drinks such as
eggnog. Recommended servings
for alcohol are up to one drink
per day for women and up to two
drinks per day for men.
Last, but certainly not least,
is trying not to neglect exercise
during the holidays. Taking a walk
with family before or after a meal
is a great way to spend time together while also staying active. If your
family enjoys shopping, such as
on Black Friday,taking an extra
lap or two around the mall can be
a great way to get some extra steps
in. Taking the stairs in the mall
instead of the elevator or escalator
is another way to build in some
more physical activity.
Formal exercise classes or visits to the gym can also be a great
option with your family. Oftentimes, gyms can have free classes
or discounts for first-timers or outof- town visitors.
Hopefully these tips can help
maintain your physical, emotional,
and financial health during a potentially demanding end of the year.

Liberty Drive
agreement
Alders unanimously approved a developer
agreement for the last stage
of Liberty Drive.
The road through Liberty
Business Park previously
was planned to be built in
two stages, both supported
by tax-increment financing, but only the first stage,
about halfway between
County Hwy. M and Whalen Road, got city assistance. The payback period
for the TIF district is down
to its last six years, making
the prospect of repayment
increasingly more difficult.
Flood assistance
Alders agreed Monday to
support a claim of just over
$4,000 for a homeowner on
Basswood Avenue whose
home flooded during a
recent storm. Its a small
portion of the overall cost
of fixing the damage, Ald.
Evan Touchett (Dist. 4),
the Public Works committee chair, told the council.
Typically, such claims
are denied, based on insurance recommendations
and concerns about setting
precedent, but Touchett
explained that in this
case, the city could have
done something about
the problem had it been
disclosed by the previous owner and the city
was unable to locate the

Verona Ave: Proposal would assemble 10 properties west of Legion St. for new development
Continued from page 1
development, and city planning director Adam Sayre
told the Press on Monday
it is all being done by the
developer, which has been
working on it for a while.
Also notable is that it would
contain 393 underground
parking stalls.
But more importantly, it
would fill in an area that
has been quietly underused
for several years and could
someday be part of a corridor with a redevelopment
of the current Sugar Creek
Elementary School site,
as the Verona Area School
District likely would not
continue to reuse that
building if it passes a successful referendum next
spring.
It would clean up the
junk between the hotel
and Legion Street, Sayre
told attendees at the Chamber event.
Mayor Jon Hochkammer added that this project wouldnt reduce the
citys focus on building the
downtown area.
Were looking for areas
that are blighted or need
our help, he said. This
needs a lot of help.

A. Yes, and with great success. You are exhibiting two of the most common
symptoms of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). Other common
symptoms include: headaches, dizziness, limited ability to open the mouth, and a
jaw that gets stuck. Some of the common causes include: injuries to the head,
neck or face from an accident or whiplash injury, stress and clenching of the teeth.
Jill Unwin,
Lee Unwin,
In our office, we utilize Chiropractic Adjustments, Massage and Rehabilitation
DC, CCEP
BCMT, CSCS
Exercises to treat TMD. Chiropractic treatment involves adjusting the joint between the jaw and the skull (TMJ). This relieves
pressure on the disc in that joint and allows the jaw to open and close properly, which reduces pain and restores normal function. With
specific adjustments to the spine and TMJ, chiropractic treatment restores proper nervous system control of involved muscles and
ligaments. Massage treatment to the affected muscles will reduce adhesions, trigger points, and tension which are all factors that can be
contributing to your symptoms. Lastly, we prescribe specific exercise that works to strengthen and balance the muscles of the head and
neck. We find this 3-tiered approach to be most successful.

A. First remove all food and water. If the diarrhea or vomiting continues or your pet acts
lethargic, seek veterinary attention. Diarrhea and vomiting can quickly lead to serious fluid
loss and electrolyte imbalance, especially in very young and very old animals.
If no vomiting occurs for 6 to 8 hours, begin to frequently give small amounts of water. A
rule of thumb is to give 1 teaspoon per pound of body weight every 2 or 3 hours throughout
the day and night. If your pet does not vomit the fluid, then the following day offer small freChristopher Voss
D.V.M.
quent meals of boiled hamburger or boiled chicken and white rice. If your pet does not want
to eat, starts to vomit, or continues to have diarrhea, go to your veterinarian for medical care. If vomiting or diarrhea
episodes occur more frequently than every six months with no known cause your pet should be seen by a veterinarian.
Do not administer any over-the-counter or prescription medications to your pet without talking to a veterinarian
first. Vomiting and diarrhea are associated with a host of problems that are
referred to collectively as gastroenteritis. Some cases are quite severe (e.g.,
poisoning), and some are not (e.g., dietary indiscretion).

First be sure that the thermostat is in the heat position and the temperature is set above
the indoor temperature. Next, check for power at the furnace by turning the fan switch (on the
thermostat) to the on position. If the furnace blower does not turn on, check the circuit breaker
for the furnace and the switch at the furnace, to ensure they are on. Also check the air filter to
ensure it is clean. If you have LP gas or oil heat, ensure that you have sufficient fuel. Some LP
gas furnaces have pressure switches that will not allow the furnace to run if the tank is low on
fuel. Even though the water heater sitting right next to the furnace lights and runs, the pressure
may be too low to allow the furnace to light. If you have a high efficiency gas furnace with pvc
vent pipes, be sure that the piping is clear of obstructions such as snow, birds or rodent nests.
Also look to see if there are any flashing diagnostic lights on your furnace. For all your heating
and air conditioning questions, contact Dave at OK Heating and Air Conditioning.

Unfortunately, thousands of people are bitten, mauled, or chased by dogs each year that are left at-large or left loose, off-leash. Many
of those people are the elderly or children, where the victims body frame is particularly vulnerable to severe injuries from a vicious
dog attack. Also, cyclists are another category, as they may not be aware that there is a dog at large, about to jump on them, as they
cycle past the dog. These dog attacks usually require that the victim go to the ER hospital for treatment. Some people also have to have
shots against rabies, and those with severe injuries, may need surgery. The law is clear that dog owners are required under Wisconsin
law to have control of their dogs. A dog owner is strictly liable and may be liable also in negligence for all the damages caused by his/

her dog. In these instances, damages are not only the physical injuries resulting from the dog bite and all the medical bills, but also

the pain, suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, disability, scarring, disfigurement, psychological and mental health issues, post-traumatic
stress, and loss of earnings. Finally, if the dog owner was aware that his/her dog had previously bitten someone, the victim of a dog attack may find themselves entitled to
double the compensation awarded for the damages. In short, dog owners are responsible for damages resulting from a dog attack to the injured person. Better still, if you
are a dog owner, secure, control, and leash your animal, and check your home insurance to make sure you have liability coverage should your dog bite or injure someone.
DENTIST
An estimated 10 million Americans will spend a staggering 1.7 billion dollars on tooth whitening pastes, products and services this year
alone. Although teeth can stain or discolor for a variety of reasons, the yellowing that many of us dislike
occurs from exposure to a variety of foods and drinks and from age.
Tooth enamel is hard and durable but it is also porous, making it susceptible to stains. Surface stains can often
be polished off by a dentist and sometimes with whitening toothpastes. Pastes utilize a more aggressive abrasive
to serve their function. They do not actively whiten. Sub-surface discoloration can often be treated with topiDr. James Sands, DDS cal whitening gels you can get from a dental office or with certain, over-the-counter whitening strip products.
Whitening gels are carbamide peroxide or hydrogen 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-the-Counter Whitening Strips, your dentist
can advise you of which option might work best for you.

Q. I am interested in your opinion of scar tissue and the pain that can be caused
by it. My scar is over 3 years old. Can you still make changes to the scar?
A. A good rule of thumb is that normal tissue healing takes approximately 6-8 weeks.
Scar modification is able to begin around 2-4 weeks with significant results throughout
the remainder of the healing process. However, once the tissues are fully healed (and the
scar tissue has already formed), a common misconception is that the scar will always
be present. Not only is the person left with thick, darkened scar tissue, they may also
have blood vessels, nerves, muscles or other soft tissue trapped in the scar. There may

density of the scar tissue. Scar mobilization is an important, yet often overlooked, part

Its almost Thanksgiving a holiday centered on family, caring and sharing. You can carry these
same values into your daily life and you can certainly incorporate them into your financial strategies
for taking care of your loved ones. First of all, protect your family by maintaining adequate life and
disability insurance. Next, invest in your children. If you have young children, you may want to open
a tax-advantaged college savings vehicle, such as a 529 plan. If you have adult children, you could
write them each a check to help them fund their IRAs for the year. Heres another financial move

recover in 1-2 weeks from the flu, others develop serious lung infections. This type of
flu complication can land one in the hospital, and also lead to Pneumonia, Bronchitis
and other serious infections. More than 60% of seasonal flu-related hospitalizations and
90% of related deaths occur in people 65 years and older. The flu is a greater concern for
the elderly because, as we get older, our immune system becomes weaker. This makes it
easier for seniors to get the flu, and much more difficult to fight off complications from
it. Ask your doctor if you should get a flu shot and when to get it. You can go to your
local clinic or even the local pharmacy to receive your flu shot. Nows the time to set up
your flu shot appointment because most medical experts recommend you get a flu shot
in November. In general the flu season begins in December and can last until spring.
If you wait until the midst of flu season to get a shot, these antibodies in the flu shot
wont have enough time to develop immunity from the flu. According to the National
Institution on Aging, Medicare will pay for a flu shot.

many ways of investing in real estate, but the two most common are rental
properties and flips. Rentals are generally a long term investment, with small monthly profits
as well as long term equity gain. While fixing and flipping is a short term investment, which (if
done well) generally yields more income on the short term but requires more work and is riskier.
A great way to start with rentals is to buy a duplex and live in half or turn your current home into
a rental when you move up to your next home. Also, manage the property yourself to start with.
This way, you become very familiar with the property, the rental process, the neighborhood,
and the maintenance required.
A great lower risk way to start flipping is to flip homes that you live in. Buy yourself a home
that has potential for improvement and potential for a higher sale price once improved. Slowly
fix the home up, sell it for a profit after a couple years, and repeat. Eventually youll gain enough
knowledge and experience to be comfortable flipping a home you dont live in.
Whatever you do, start small, start slow, and ask for advice from real estate experts in your area.
