Six months after Verona

The intersection is sched-

of both sides of PD is being
improved in preparation for
that.

Letters to the editor

Council and board should approve
Sunday library hours
I am so excited to see that the
Verona library is considering
adding Sunday hours.
As a working parent, week-
ends are the best time to get to
the library, and having Sunday
hours will be really valuable
for my family. I know theyll
be valuable for other families in
Verona, too.
Our library has so much great
programming and itll be benefi-
cial to Verona residents to make
it available on another day. I
urge the Library board and the
City Council to implement year-
round Sunday hours.
Cheryl Bourne
City of Verona

Sunday library hours are beneficial

Our City Council and Mayor
Hochkammer are correctly bringing
Verona up to more modern commu-
nity standards. Their work is com-
mendable and the time is right.
One small but important example
of modern community standards
is the proposal for Sunday hours at
the Verona Public Library. The ben-
efits are obvious and costs minimal.
Stacey Burkart , library director
is proposing a very reasonable bud-
the library on Sundays. So much
good will come from this low cost
proposal.
Because of the low cost and
substantial community benefits,
our City Council will be called
upon to work as diligently on this
matter as they have on all of the
accomplishments that make Verona
a great place to live; now and for
the future. Community Voices

SENIOR CARE REAL ESTATE

Q. Why Choose Care At Home?
A. Home healthcare is a wonderful choice for any loving family member who is in the process of
searching for a provider to assist with the health, safety and personal well being of an elderly loved
one. When searching for a permanent residence for a senior, there is no better choice than where the
elderly loved-one is most comfortable: their own home. There are many qualities that make home
healthcare a much better choice than that of a retirement or nursing home.
Home healthcare allows the senior to stay in the comfort and stress free environment of their home.
Stephen Rudolph With Comfort Keepers, our caregivers ask the senior Would you like to help me cook dinner?
FACHE, CSA Where are you recipe books? Whats your favorite meal? The senior is able to be part of their own
care, which helps them feel involved and useful as well as develop a bond with their care taker.
Call Comfort Keepers today to learn more about our home healthcare services
and to schedule your free in-home assessment!
Q. Should I Try to Sell My House For Sale By Owner?
A. The obvious reason some people want to sell their home by themselves is to save the
commission paid to a real estate agent. In a hot Sellers market, this might be tempting. However, it
may not be the best way to go, here are 6 things to consider before attempting to sell your own home.
1. Exposure: A good Realtor has marketing systems in place to get you maximum exposure
through the internet and bring more potential buyers to your house. 2. Negotiations: Sellers have
a lot of people to negotiate with through the process. Sellers without agents tend to get eaten alive
in negotiations with Buyers agents, inspectors, and appraisers. A trained agent negotiating on your

behalf with save you money and stress in the end. 3. Buyers agent fees: If an agent brings you a
buyer, you will likely end up paying part of the commission that you would have paid if you had
Real Estate Team
listed the house through a Realtor anyway. 4. More Money: Statistics show that homes listed with
real estate agents sell for significantly more than homes sold by owners. 5. Strategy: An experienced
agent knows the pricing, marketing, and negotiating strategy that is working the best in the current
market, especially when negotiating a multiple offer situation. 6. Stress Free: Agents will take 90%
of the work off you. They will field all the phone calls, emails, showing scheduling, and paperwork
to save you a lot of time and headaches.

DENTIST
Q. I seem to get Canker sores a lot. Is it true that my toothpaste may be a
cause of Canker sores?
A. Yes, toothpastes may contribute to Canker sores. Canker sores, or Apthous ulcers, are
generally small or medium sized, painful sores that can develop apparently spontaneously
inside the mouth. Canker sores most commonly occur on the tongue, gums or inside the
cheek or lips. There are many known triggers of canker sores including stress, trauma, med-
ications and chemical exposures. Two known chemical triggers are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
Dr. James Sands, DDS (SLS) and Pyrophosphate, both common additives in toothpastes. Pyrophosphate is a tartar
control agent added to toothpaste and SLS is a foaming/cleaning agent. Although not always
easy to find, there are readily available pastes that do not contain these compounds.
If you find that you develop canker sores more than a few times per month, try changing
your toothpaste. Read the labels before you buy and avoid pyrophosphate and Sodium Lau-
HEATING/COOLING
Q. How efficient is my air conditioner, and should I consider
replacing it?
A. The efficiency of your air conditioner is based on its SEER rating and
how well it has been maintained. Air conditioners that are 15 years old or
more probably fall into the 6-8 SEER rating range. A new 13-16 SEER
air conditioner could give you savings in the 35-60% range over your
existing unit. Even air conditioners installed as little as 5 years ago could

in addition to energy savings may justify replacing even these units. For
these and any other questions on your HVAC system, contact Dave at

ryl Sulfate. Make sure that the paste does have fluoride. Fluoride is a vital component to
decay prevention and does not contribute to sores. Remember that if you have any sore that

Q. What is the DOG BITE LAW?
A. The old version of Wis. Stat. 174.02(1)(b), which is commonly referred to as
the dog bite statute, provided for doubled damages if the offending dog injured
a person, a domestic animal, or other property and the owner had notice that the
dog had previously caused one of these types of injuries without provocation.
The most recently amended version of Wis. Stat. 174.02(1)(b) permits double
