possible cell tower at stadium site€¦ · 18/01/2020 · BBB’s top ten New Year’s resolutions for a consumer-savvy 2020 BY BBB SERVING WISCONSIN ... resolutions to help you

BY THOMAS J. MCKILLENMANAGING EDITOR

A wireless communications companyhas approached the School District ofMenomonee Falls with an offer to place acellular communications tower as place ofone of the existing light poles atSchumann Stadium.

The proposal was explained during theJan. 13 Menomonee Falls School Boardmeeting. District Director of Finance andOperations Keith Brightman said Verizonhas been in contact with the district sincesummer about an offer to replace one ofthe light poles at Schumann Stadium witha cell tower. The cell tower would belocated in place of the southwest lighttower closest to Appleton Avenue.

"They like doing that because it kindof hides the cell tower impact, becausethere's already a light pole tower in placeof that," Brightman said. Brightman saidthat while the lights for the stadiumwould be placed at the same level, theactual cellular tower is wider and taller,with the cellular antennas 30 to 40 feetabove the stadium lights.

Brightman said that in the villagethere has been "limited to no feedbackfrom the community on some placements

on the cell towers. Recently, there wasmore discussion in kind of that area."

On Dec. 4, 2017, the Menomonee FallsVillage Board unanimously rejected therequest for a 120-foot tall tower at FireStation 3 site at W140 N75012 Lilly Road.The denial came after residents spoke outagainst that request and the request for acell tower at the Old Falls Village site onCounty Road. The Village Board didapprove the cell tower for the Old FallsVillage site.

Brightman said the cell tower propos-al was brought to the School Boardbecause the district wants feedback fromresidents in the area as to whether thatwould be an appropriate location for acell tower. He said if the district chose togo with the proposal, a consultant work-ing with Verizon would initiate steps toget permits from state and the village forthe proposal to move ahead.

"This is really testing the waters withthe community to see if there's largeopposition to the idea," Brightman said.He said the tower would provide annualrevenue of $15,000 to $20,000 for eachwireless communications firm that locates

BBB’s top ten New Year’s resolutions for a consumer-savvy 2020BY BBB SERVING WISCONSIN

As the new year begins, it’s an important time tothink about simple changes we can make to ensure thatthis new year is better than the last. The BetterBusiness Bureau serving Wisconsin offers 10 New Year’sresolutions to help you avoid scams, prevent identitytheft and be a smarter consumer in 2020.

“Being a savvy consumer is ultimately about stayingone step ahead of scammers,” says Jim Temmer, presi-dent/CEO of BBB Serving Wisconsin. “The way to dothat is to take your time and do your research beforemaking a decision. The scammers are counting on youto be too busy to take these simple steps to protectyourself. But, by taking a few minutes to implementthese tips, you can outsmart scammers, identity thievesand others who are trying to separate you from yourhard-earned cash.”

In 2020, consumers should resolve to:1. Implement a credit freeze. A credit freeze is

the best way to protect yourself from financial identitytheft because it restricts access to your credit file, mak-ing it impossible for identity thieves to apply for a newline of credit in your name. Best of all, it’s free tofreeze and thaw your credit.

2. Use technology to block robocalls and othertelemarketing calls. Nomorobo, a call blocking fea-ture, can disconnect known telemarketers or scammersfrom your VoIP landline after one ring. It’s free for land-lines; a nominal fee for cell phones. Go towww.nomorobo.com to begin. Make sure you’ve regis-tered your phones with www.donotcall.gov, too.

3. Review your permissions and privacy settingson social media. If you’ve signed into an app or web-

site using your social media credentials or taken a funquiz on social media, you may have unwittingly givenpermission to third-party apps to access your personalinformation and contacts. On Facebook, go to “settings”and “apps and websites” to review.

4. Warn others and stop fraudsters by reportingscams to BBB’s Scamtracker. Scamtracker is a crowd-sourced website where you can report if you’ve beencontacted by a scammer. Since reports are plotted on amap, you can also use Scamtracker to find out what’shappening in your area. Go to BBB.org/scamtrackerfor more information. Scamtracker reports also helpBBB educate the public with more in-depth reports viaour scam studies.

5. Check out businesses and charities first. A lit-tle research before you buy or donate to make sureyou’re working with a reputable company or charity cansave you a lot of time, money and heartache later.Check out companies at bbb.org and a full report oncharities at give.org. BBB accredited businesses andcharities have been evaluated by BBB, and meet andpromise to maintain our Standards of Trust orStandards for Charity Accountability.

6. Use secure payment methods. A scammer’sfavorite way to steal your money is by asking you topay with either a gift card or a money wire transfer,such as Money Gram or Western Union. Why? Becausethese payment methods are irreversible. Credit cardpayments are more secure because, if fraud is suspect-ed, the charge can be disputed. If you receive a requestfrom someone claiming to be from the IRS, a debt col-lector or anyone else and they ask you to pay with agift card or a money wire transfer, it’s almost always a

scam.7. Use a unique and complex password for every

online account. Consider a passphrase, which is simplya long password made up of from a collection of multi-ple words, making them both easier to type and remem-ber. Poor, easy-to-guess passwords are one of the mostcommon ways cyber attackers can hack into your onlineaccounts. If it’s too difficult to remember multiple pass-words, consider a password manager. Then, you’ll onlyhave to remember one unique and complex passwordinstead of many.

8. Enable multi-factor authentication wheneverit is available. Multi-factor authentication is when youare granted access to an online account only after youhave successfully provided two or more pieces of evi-dence, such as your password AND a unique code gen-erated by your smartphone, emailed or texted to you.With multi-factor authentication, if hackers stealyour username and password, they still can't accessyour account.

9. Monitor your existing financial accounts. Goneare the days when you waited for your credit card state-ment to come in the mail for you to review. Sign up foronline access so you can review your financial accountsdaily. Better yet, take advantage of free text messagealerts to notify you of activity, remind you when pay-ments are due, etc.

10. File your taxes early. One common fraud dur-ing tax season involves identity theft. Scammers try tosubmit a return in your name and have your refundcome to them. You can avoid this by beating them to it,and submitting your tax return early. Follow these BBBtips for finding the right tax preparer.

The Menomonee Falls Village Board approved a con-tract at its Jan. 6 meeting related to changes toVillage Park.

The board approved an award of a contract for thefirst phase of the park to Burkhart ConstructionCorporation for a total base bid amount of$2,069,978.82 along with an alternate bid for $7,000for a total project cost of $2,076,978.82.

Trustee Katie Kress said the first phase will involvethe removal of the softball diamond, sand volleyballcourt and skate park amenities; reconstruction of MillStreet and the existing parking lot, creation of theplaza area with bathroom facilities at Mill Street andGarfield Drive, grading of the east end of the park,construction of an amphitheater and construction ofpaths and lighting. The alternate bid approved willallow for the bathroom and plaza to be used as a year-round facility.

This is a re-bid of the project. The Village Boardrejected the first bids that came in during its June 3meeting because both submitted bids were over thebudgeted amount. The board supported going to bidwith a revised project during its Sept. 16 meeting.

During the Jan. 6 meeting, Trustee Paul Tadda saidthere was asphalt along with curb and gutter itemsremoved from the south side while a proposed deten-tion pond was also dropped. Tadda asked if there anyother items removed from the project?

Engineer Tom Hoffman said improvements to thesouthern part of Mill Street from the parking lot toAppleton Avenue were removed while the detentionpond was also removed. Hoffman said “at some pointin the the future” the pavement for Mill Road willhave to be rebuilt. Hoffman added that the park proj-ect will be funded entirely from park impact fees.Hoffman said the street improvement can be paid forby park impact fees since it is in the park specialtyarea.

The contract was unanimously approved by theboard.

Road reconstruction contract approvedThe board approved a contract for the reconstruc-

tion of Jacobson Drive and Hiawatha Avenue to SoperExcavating and Grading LLC for a Total Base Bid$1,037,633. The bid is below the village estimate of

$1.5 million.Work for the project will include reconstruction of

the road, sidewalk, and driveway approaches inJacobson Drive from Appleton Avenue to DardisAvenue; installation of new storm sewer and watermain in Jacobson Drive from Appleton Avenue toDardis Avenue; rehabilitation of the sanitary manholesin Jacobson Drive from Appleton Avenue to DardisAvenue; reconstruction of the road, sidewalk, anddriveway approaches in Hiawatha Avenue fromJacobson Drive to Mary Court; installation of newstorm sewer and water main in Hiawatha Avenue fromJacobson Drive to Mary Court; and rehabilitation ofthe sanitary manholes in Hiawatha Avenue fromJacobson Drive to Mary Court.

The project was originally bid in spring 2019 afterthe village received only one bid. The village receivedeight bids this time around.

“Rebidding (the project) did save significantly,”Trustee Jeremy Walz said.

Contract approved for sewer rehabilitationThe board approved a contract with u-Sewer Clean

& Seal for rehabilitating deteriorated sewers in theamount of $95,670.35 with funding to come from the2020 Sewer Utility Budget. Kress noted that the vil-lage received only one bid due to the highly special-ized type of sewer lining work being performed.

"It's a nice revenue source, a lot ofdistricts do have these things in place,"Brightman said, mentioning that theWhitefish Bay district has a tower onone of its properties.

Board member Keri Duce noted thatthe previous cell tower proposal in thearea was communicated to residents"very poorly."

"I don't want us to get tied up inthat," Duce said.

Brightman said Verizon would needdistrict endorsement to move aheadwith the proposal. He said he could a

get project layout from Verizon as far asgetting input from nearby residentsabout the proposal.

Duce said she would like to see inwriting what Verizon would do as farcommunicating to residents the possibletower at the stadium site. Duce addedthat while Schumann Stadium is nearthe Appleton Avenue commercial area,there are also residential areas near thehigh school.

"To me, once the tower is at stadium,it's ours. It doesn't matter if it's Verizon,people will look at us and be like: 'Youguys are sponsoring this?' In a sense weare, because we're going to take theirmoney," Duce said. "I just want tounderstand how they (Verizon) aregoing to communicate with the commu-nity."

Nutritious diets and routine exerciseare two hallmarks of a healthy lifestyle.Combining the two can lower people’srisk for various diseases and contributeto a high quality of life. But food andphysical activity are not the only thingspeople should do to improve theirchances of living long, healthy lives.

Preventive care is important. One ofthe most effective principles of preven-tive care is to schedule an annual check-up with a physician. According to theCenters for Disease Control andPrevention, routine health exams andtests can find problems before theystart. During annual check-ups, doctorsmay notice some red flags, such as highcholesterol, that men and women won’tdetect on their own. These warningsigns could be increasing people’s riskfor disease and/or discomfort. Many ofthese red flags are undetectable withoutproper screenings, which is why annualcheckups are integral to maintainingone’s health.

Annual checkups also serve as a

great time for adults to be screened forcertain cancers. The American CancerSociety notes that cancer screenings areused to find cancer before a persondevelops symptoms. That’s a vital bene-fit of annual checkups, as cancerscaught in their early stages are moreeasily treated. In addition, catchingcancer before it has metastasized great-ly improves patients’ prognosis.

Another reason to schedule annualcheckups is that they make perfectopportunities for patients to discusstheir family histories with their physi-cians. This is especially important foradults over 40, as age and family historyare significant risk factors for a host ofconditions and diseases. Men andwomen concerned about conditionsand diseases that their family membershave had can discuss those concernswith their physicians during their annu-al checkups. Physicians can then rec-ommend ways for patients to balancetheir risk, calming patients’ concernsand giving them a road map to reduce

their risk for conditions and diseasesthat seem to run in their families.

Annual checkups are as vital a com-ponent of a healthy lifestyle as nutri-tious diets and routine exercise. By

scheduling annual checkups with theirphysicians, adults can closely monitortheir overall health and potentiallyuncover issues before they escalate intomajor health risks.

Sunscreen and the great outdoors go hand-in-hand during the warmer months of the year. Forinstance, few people can imagine spending a day atthe beach without first covering their skin in sun-screen. But skin also must be protected when spend-ing time outdoors in winter.

The World Health Organization notes that one inevery three cancers diagnosed across the globe isskin cancer. While that’s a scary notion, it’s importantto note that many skin cancer cases are preventable.Protecting skin in winter, a time when many peoplemistakenly believe their skin is not vulnerable todamage caused by the sun, is one way for people toreduce their risk of developing skin cancer.

• Don’t put sunscreen in storage. Even if you won’tbe beachfront and basking in the sun’s rays, it’s stillimportant to apply sunscreen in winter. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, which specializes in cancertreatment and actively seeks tomorrow’s curesthrough cutting-edge research, recommends apply-ing a sunscreen with a minimum sun-protection fac-

tor, or SPF, of 30. Make sure to apply sunscreen to allareas that may be exposed to the sun, including theface, neck, ears, and hands.

• Frequently reapply sunscreen. The “set it andforget it” approach does not apply to protecting theskin with sunscreen. Reapply sunscreen every 90minutes that you are outdoors to ensure your skin isfully protected at all times. Skiers should recognizethat they are much closer to the sun as they traversethe slopes, and that means the UV radiation is moreintense on the mountain than it might be in thefoothills or lower elevation areas. That heightenedintensity only underscores the importance of reap-plying sunscreen.

• Don’t forget to protect your lips. The DFCI notesthat the lower lip is especially vulnerable to the sun’srays. A lip balm with an SPF of 30 or higher should beapplied before going outside and then frequentlyreapplied while outdoors. In addition, women canuse makeup with SPF to further protect their lips andtheir skin.

• Avoid tanning booths. Indoor tanning boothsincrease users’ risk for skin cancer and prematureskin aging. In fact, the DFCI notes that cancerresearchers have found that the risk of developingmelanoma is 60 percent greater among people whohave been exposed to UV radiation from indoor tan-ning. And that risk only increases with each visit to atanning booth.

• Don’t forget to protect the skin while on vaca-tion. People who vacation in warm climates duringthe winter may be the envy of coworkers and neigh-bors upon returning home with a tan, but it’s imper-ative that travelers prioritize protecting their skinwhile on vacation. Embrace the same principles ofskin protection, including applying sunscreen andwearing wide-brimmed hats and sunglasses, that youwould when lounging by the pool or visiting thebeach in the summer.

Unprotected skin is vulnerable to sun damageand skin cancer year-round, including when the tem-peratures dip below freezing.

How to reduce skin cancer risk in winter

Why annual checkups are so important

By Rachel Kenitz, RN, BSN, BSSome individuals who have recently

had a heart attack or heart procedurecan benefit from a higher intensity ver-sion of cardiac rehabilitation (CR),called intensive cardiac rehabilitation(ICR). Through a collaboration withPritikin, ICR is now offered for the firsttime in Wisconsin by the Froedtert & theMedical College of Wisconsin healthnetwork and provides heart diseaseeducation and coaching to improvehealth.

The goals are to minimize an indi-vidual’s risk for a second heart event,prescribe exercise that improves car-diorespiratory fitness, encourage aheart-healthy diet and strengthen over-all psychological well-being. Studiesshow that participants have a lower 1-to 5-year mortality rate than nonpartic-ipants and a lower chance of mortalityand myocardial infarction when attend-ing the maximum number of CR ses-sions.

Overall, participants can achieve anoptimal level of health by educating andcoaching them through personal riskfactor modification strategies and

improving their strength and staminaso they can return to doing normalactivities sooner.

What’s Involved in Cardiac Rehab?Individuals who have recently had a

heart attack or heart surgery are oftenthen referred for traditional CR.Medicare covers up to 36 sessions of tra-ditional CR, which begins with a thor-ough health assessment completed by anurse or exercise physiologist to identi-fy personalized risk factors for heart dis-ease. The sessions include:

• An individualized exercise planthat progresses throughout the program

• Education and support to incorpo-rate heart-healthy diet plans and activi-ties into their lifestyles

• Blood pressure and blood glucosemonitoring

• Stress management counseling• Opportunities to interact with

other individuals who are also recover-ing from a heart event

What’s Different in IntensiveCardiac Rehabilitation?

While still including the same heart-healthy exercise as traditional CR, ICR is

more focused on the holistic well-beingof participants. The Medicare-approvedprogram also provides individuals withdouble the amount of covered sessionscompared to traditional CR, 72 versus36. At these additional sessions, valu-able lifestyle education is provided toteach individuals how to:

• Cook nutritional and affordablemeals

• Become smarter at grocery shop-ping

• Lose weight using evidence-basedskills

• Stop smoking• Manage stress• Improve personal and professional

relationshipsParticipants will receive information

and feedback from registered nursesand exercise physiologists, a dedicatedregistered dietitian and a healthy mind-set expert who have received specificprogram training at the PritikinLongevity Center in Miami.

Enrolling in ICR is similar toenrolling in traditional CR, as you’ll stillneed a physician referral following aqualifying diagnosis. The CR team thendiscusses whether ICR is an option dur-ing your first CR appointment.

This program is available for indi-viduals who have chronic heart failure,have had a heart attack within the last12 months or have previously had aheart surgery, such as coronary arterybypass, a stenting procedure, heartvalve repair or replacement or hearttransplant.

Benefits and LocationsThe Pritikin ICR program has docu-

mented improved patient outcomes inover 100 peer-reviewed studies, a neces-sity to be approved by Medicare. Someof these outcomes include: a 9%decrease in systolic and diastolic bloodpressure, a 20% decrease in cholesteroland an average weight loss of 7—11pounds among overweight patients, all

within the first two to three weeks ofbeginning ICR.

By offering these lifestyle educationsessions that minimize participants’risk factors for heart disease, combinedwith the proper prescribed exercise, ICRcan be a choice program for individualsfollowing a heart event. Patients areencouraged to consider ICR due to itsscientifically proven benefits over tradi-tional CR.

The Froedtert & MCW health net-work offers ICR at several locationsthroughout southeastern Wisconsin.The program is currently offered atFroedtert West Bend Hospital, FroedtertHospital in Milwaukee and Froedtert &MCW North Hills Health Center, as anoutpatient department of FroedtertMenomonee Falls Hospital.

(Rachel Kenitz, RN, BSN, BS, is themanager of the cardiac rehabilitationprograms at the Froedtert & the MedicalCollege of Wisconsin health network. Sheoversees staff and patients within theintensive cardiac rehabilitation pro-grams at Froedtert West Bend Hospital,Froedtert Hospital and Froedtert & MCWNorth Hills Health Center.)

Intensive cardiac rehabilitation: A holistic approach to heart health

Mattie Egge, CEP, CardiopulmonaryRehabilitation Lead with the Froedtert& the Medical College of Wisconsinhealth network.


The place seems like a dream cometrue: the right space, the right location,the right price. But is it really for rent?Or will the renter or traveler arrive tofind their money gone with nowhere tostay?

An in-depth investigative study byBetter Business Bureau (BBB) finds thatfraud is widespread in the online rentalhome and vacation rental market, with43% of online shoppers encountering afake listing and more than 5 millionconsumers losing money to such scams.

The investigative study -- Is ThatRental Listing Real? A BBB Study ofRental Scams Involving Apartments,Houses and Vacation Properties -- notesthat 85% of consumers encounteringfake rental listings do not fall for them.However, these figures suggest that thevolume of rental scams lurking on theinternet is staggering. Read the fullstudy here.

According to the study, rental scamscan take several forms, but perhaps mostcommonly, fraudsters simply copy thephoto and description of a property,post it online with their own contactinformation and try to get a deposit andfirst month’s rent from the victim. Thefraudster may communicate only byemail or text message and may claim tobe out of the country and unavailable toshow the property. Once the victim

sends money, the fraudster disappears.In less common types of fraud, vic-

tims may be enticed to buy an onlinedirectory of homes supposedly for rent,or they may be tricked into signing upfor credit monitoring that comes withrecurring monthly charges.

“While an advertised rental thatmeets your needs at a great price mightbe tempting, it just may be a scam,”says Jim Temmer, CEO/president of theBBB Serving Wisconsin. “Consumersshouldn’t rush into paying upfront feesfor renting housing sight-unseen.Instead, take time to verify the detailsof listings.”

BBB Scam Tracker has received morethan 1,300 reports of rental fraud from2016 to 2019, while the FBI’s InternetCrime Complaint Center (IC3) reportsmore than $37 million from January 1,2019, through October 20, 2019, in loss-es associated with complaints that men-tion the word “rent.”

Many consumers look for rental list-ings on free classified listing sites likeCraigslist in the U.S. and Kijiji inCanada, as well as FacebookMarketplace. They also check websitessuch as Apartments.com, Zillow, Trulia,Realtor.com and Homes.com. Fake list-ings turn up frequently on these sites,despite the companies’ efforts to keepscam listings off their sites and warn

consumers about potential fraud. Thestudy finds that while most fraudreports come from the largest metropol-itan areas, no geographic area in NorthAmerica appears to be safe from it.

Steve of Franklin, Wis. posted hisexperience to BBB Scam Tracker:“Someone used pictures and a descrip-tion of our house (which is for sale) andput it on Craigslist for rent. We had anopen house scheduled the followingSunday, and several people came to thehouse (interested in renting). We had toexplain to them that the house is not forrent! It was listed on MLS for sale by ourrealtor. The scammer copied the picturesand description and put a posted rent of$850. We copied the post and reported itto the police department. We do notwant anyone to lose their money to thisperson and want the pictures removedfrom Craigslist.”

Scams also frequently appear onvacation rental websites such as Airbnb,VRBO and HomeAway.com. They followthe same pattern, preying on vacation-ers’ inability to check out a listingbefore paying money for it. Cases alsohave been noted of scammers luring arenter away from Airbnb to deal withthe “landlord” directly or spoofingAirbnb’s site to impersonate the landlordand the company’s payment portal.These companies likewise have warnedconsumers about potential fraud andtaken steps against fake listings.

Rental fraud often is committed byNigerian criminal gangs that participatein other types of fraud. Law enforce-ment efforts have targeted perpetrators

of a variety of rental fraud. The FederalTrade Commission (FTC) took actionagainst a company that fraudulentlysold credit monitoring that allegedlywas required before a consumer couldtour a rental property, while anothercompany selling a fake directory of “pre-foreclosure” homes was successfullyprosecuted in federal court.

In addition to warning consumers ofred flags that may signal apartment orvacation rental scams, the report recom-mends:

• Rental unit owners should water-mark photos used for rental postings,which will make it more difficult forscammers to copy photos of other prop-erties posted online.

• Website platforms that list houses,apartments and vacation propertiesshould make extra effort to screen forbogus listings, and they should exploreways to allow consumers to easily reportscam listings.

• Police should encourage victims toreport not only to the rental platform,but also to the FTC, BBB, IC3, or inCanada, the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre.

What to do if you are the victim of arental scam:

• File a report with local police.• Go to BBB.org to view a business’

BBB Business Profile, including com-plaints and reviews, or to file a com-plaint or report a scam on Scam Tracker.

• Contact the Federal TradeCommission at ftc.gov/complaint or bycalling 877-FTC-HELP.

• File a complaint with the InternetCrime Complaint Center.
