The internet offers a world of oppor-tunities for entertainment and communi-cation, but there are risks too. TheWisconsin Department of Agriculture,Trade and Consumer Protection asks par-ents and guardians to talk with their chil-dren about how to be safe, secure, andresponsible when surfing the worldwideweb.
"There are many online threats includ-ing malware, email phishing scams, andunexpected in-app charges that kidscould run into," said Frank Frassetto,Division Administrator for Trade andConsumer Protection. "Explain these risksto your children and use parental moni-toring features on devices and webbrowsers to limit problems before theyarise."
Follow these tips to help your childrenmake smart cyber choices over the sum-mer break:
• Restrict access to age-appropriatecontent by using parental controls. Thereare specific kid-friendly search enginesthat limit results to sites that are suitablefor children. Consider locking deviceswith a password so your children can'tdownload or purchase any apps without
your approval.• Be smart about smartphones. If you
want your children to have a smartphonein order to stay connected over the sum-mer, understand the capabilities of thedevice. Research apps and try them outyourself. Download and install softwareupdates and set the phone to lock auto-matically with a password. Turn off in-apppurchase capabilities.
• Teach your children what NOT toclick. Clicking on links in unexpected textmessages or in pop-up windows couldinfect a device with malware and put thefamily at greater risk of identity theft.
• Establish rules for downloading.Teach kids to be wary of exciting offers for"free stuff" that prompt them to actimmediately and provide personal infor-mation. These pitches are likely eithermalware transmission ploys or "phishing"traps set to steal their personal informa-tion.
• Talk to your kids about the impor-tance of privacy. Make sure they under-stand not to share personally identifiableinformation (PII), especially on socialmedia sites. PII can include their fullname, birth date, home address, tele-phone number, email address, or SocialSecurity number.
You may not have the summer off withyour children, but you can take steps toensure their safety and protect their iden-tities in your absence.

School’s out, cyber safety is in
The Milwaukee Common Council approved a newfirst-of-its-kind pilot program to turn dilapidated fore-closed homes into beautiful hubs for artwork andresources.
The Art and Resource Community Hub (ARCH) loanprogram will take city-owned foreclosed homes andturn them into artists’ oases and/or resource hubs.
Alderwoman Milele A. Coggs and Alderman RussellW. Stamper, II are the principal sponsors of the legisla-tion creating the pilot, which will focus on transform-ing city-owned foreclosed homes beginning in theBronzeville area and the Walnut Hill neighborhood.
Both Coggs and Alderman Stamper extended thanksto the artists who inspired them to push the ARCH pro-gram forward.
Ray Nitti, founder of FLYE, a Milwaukee-based busi-ness that focuses on connecting artists with opportu-nities to work with area companies and non-profits on
various events, said he believes ARCH has the potentialto allow more artists to thrive while earning a living tosupport themselves and their families.
"I think the ARCH program is vitally important tothe artist community and the City of Milwaukee," Nittisaid. "We are excited to work on the models launchingin Bronzeville and in Walnut Hill. We look forward toconsulting with the city and developers on this projectthroughout its entirety."
"This is a new approach to creating a critical massof artistic talent, creativity and entrepreneurship inMilwaukee neighborhoods that truly need a boost ofpositive energy,"
Coggs said: "We hope to build the program andincrease resources and add new neighborhoods, and webelieve the pilot will help get us to that next level."
Stamper, whose 15th Aldermanic District includes aportion of the city’s original Bronzeville area, said the
ARCH program neighborhoods will benefit by the pos-itivity, stability and creativity brought about byartist-occupied homes and/or much needed resourcehubs.
"We have a solid win-win where we are turningforeclosed homes that are available on the market intocreative spaces for artists and/or homes used to pro-vide valuable resources," Stamper said. "We are hopefulthat the stability and vitality of ARCH homes will bringadditional investment and economic activity."
ARCH is a matching grant program whereby the cityputs up $25,000 and the artist or interested personpurchasing a home must match that amount and workto rehab the home – transforming it into a livable andworking art studio or resource hub.

Unique ARCH pilot program gets council approval
The official start of summer is only weeks away, butmany of us are still finalizing our vacation plans. With somany places to go and so many travel packages to con-sider, the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Tradeand Consumer Protection (DATCP) asks travelers to watchout for too-good-to-be-true deals and keep a close eyeon any fine print that accompanies an offer.
"Scammers know that families are always on thelookout for a good deal on travel packages, and they usethis enticement in their ploys," said Frank Frassetto,Division Administrator for Trade and ConsumerProtection.
Fraudulent vacation-related operations often involveone of two elements: postcard mailers promising free or
heavily discounted travel and online advertisements forrental properties.
The postcards may be fronts for high-pressure salespitches for vacation clubs or timeshares. In some casesthey may be ploys to get potential victims to pay taxesor fees on a non-existent prize.

Dear Dr.’s Winter, what sets you apart from otherdentists and why should I come to your practice?
Dear Lisa, that’s a great question and if you spendsome time on our new website I think we have reallydifferentiated ourselves from other practices.
New Technology: We utilize the latest in digital x-rays “Dexis” to allow us to see cleaner sharper imagesfor diagnoses. We also have a digital intra-oral cameracalled DexCam to blow images up on our flat panelmonitors to show you exactly what we see when wediscuss cavities, cracks, gum diseases, etc.
We have a new technology called Cari-Vu whichuses lights to see through your tooth and captureimages to give us another way to view cracks, cavitiesand mal-formations in your teeth!
We have a laser called lightscalpel which is the moststudied CO2 laser on the market today! Dr. RichardWinter published an article this month in the highlyacclaimed Dentistry Today which highlights how thisLaser is used in his advanced reconstructive dentalpractice to provide more comfort and better results tohis patients!
Things this laser allows us to do are excision oflesions, bumps and lumps for biopsy. We can provideminimally invasive crown-lengthening to allow us tosave teeth that many other dentists would simplyextract. This laser allows us to treat people for beingtongue tied or people that have frena (flaps of skin thatcan make denture or partial denture wear veryuncomfortable) by simply removing these with aprocedure called frenectemy. In fact, if you go towww.hamptondentalassociates.com you can read thislatest article under publications as well as all of theother articles published by Dr. Winter.
Dr. Richard Winter is one of only 535 doctors in theUnited States to achieve the DABOI or Diplomate inthe American Board of Oral Implantology as well asholding a Diplomate in the International Congress ofOral Implantologists and Associate Fellow in theAmerican Academy of Implant Dentistry so you knowwe keep up on the latest information and materials tobetter serve our dental family.
We utilize Piezo-electric devices for sinus
augmentation and many other tools to insure ourpatients have the best instrumentation to performtheir implant treatment.
But probably the best reason to come to us atHampton Dental is that we care! We have beenserving Milwaukee through my Grandfather –DrMorris Paschen, my father; Dr. Charles Winter andnow Bruce and Richard Winter for 94 years! Dr.Bruce’s son is a dentist and Dr. Richard’s daughter isstarting her third year of dental school in Septemberso we have been here and will continue to be here formany years to come. We are not a dental factorywhere you don’t know who you will see each timeyou come to our family dental practice. I hope thishelps! We would love to have you join our dentalfamily.
All the best,Dr. Richard and Dr. Bruce WinterPlease see our work at www.hamptondentalassociates.com

Online ads that feature unbelievablylow prices on rental properties in vaca-tion hotspots should alert you to be sus-picious of the offer and to do moreresearch. You might even notice thatscammers have ripped pictures anddescriptions of properties from real estatelistings and posted the information to aclassified ad as a rental property.
"The supposed 'owner' of the propertythen tells interested renters that he orshe is out of town and offers to send thekeys once a security deposit is paidupfront, typically by wire transfer," saidFrassetto. "These crooks just take themoney and run."
When considering a vacation offer,remember the following tips:
• Look for a fraud alert or frequentlyasked questions page on the websitewhere you found the deal to see if thereare any warning signs you should watchout for in a solicitation.
• Check that the address of an adver-tised rental property really exists. If theproperty is located in a resort, call thefront desk and confirm specific detailsabout the location and any promotionsthey are running.
• Ask for written confirmation of alldetails: reservation dates, room rates,associated "fees" or mandatory charges,room amenities, time of check-in/check-out and the hotel's cancellation or refundpolicy. Knowing this will help when com-paring deals.
• Buy your travel package from abusiness you have confidence in or thatcomes recommended by family or friends.
• Use a credit card if possible for anypurchases. Credit cards give more protec-tion than paying with cash or check.
• Never wire money up front.• If you receive a "robocall" saying
you won a "free" vacation prize, it's ascam. Hang up and report the caller toDATCP.

Don’t get trapped by vacation scams
The following information was provided by theGreater Milwaukee Association of Realtors (GMAR):
The GMAR recently conducted a survey of home-owners in the Greater Milwaukee area to ask their opin-ion on the current real estate market.*
Buyers are in the marketThe GMAR survey showed that 77% of homeowners
believe that now is a good time to buy a home, and58% believe homes are selling fast, based on whatthey’ve seen in the news. As the Association hasreported, inventory levels were well under 3 monthsand prices were rising in recent quarters, revealingstrong demand in the market, fueled by first-time buy-ers. Buyers have been gobbling up virtually every prop-erty listed, particularly those in good condition andpriced under $350,000
Regional Economy is StrongOver 75% of homeowners believe the regional econ-
omy is getting better or staying the same. Ozaukee andWashington Counties lead with 54% of residents inboth counties feeling that the economy is getting bet-ter.
Unsettled IssuesThe survey showed 17% of homeowners, almost 1 in
5, are interested in selling their home in the next 12months (6% are "very likely" to sell, and another 11%are "somewhat likely" to sell). If the 6% who said theyare "very likely" to sell do, in fact, sell their home, itwould total approximately 22,172 home sales. In 2016,
a year also marked by tight inventory, the market sawjust over 21,000 unit sales. Brokers are hoping that asizable number of the 11% who are "somewhat likely"to sell, take advantage of the market.
However, sellers have a few issues they’re waiting tosee settled before they list their homes. While theyknow buyers are out in force, prices are rising, and theregional economy is performing well, they are in a"wait and see" mode.
Concern about Washington DCHomeownership is a "life decision," and there are
numerous quality of life issues that impact an individ-uals or family’s decision to purchase a home. Typically,those factors are questions of finding the right housein a good neighborhood, looking for a good school dis-trict, how far a neighborhood is from work, the cost,etc. Issues that squarely and logically relate directly tohomeownership.
However, in our survey, typical "life decisions" havetaken a backseat to developments in Washington DC.When asked, "What would worry you most when itcomes to buying a home in the next 12 months?" 50%of respondents ranked, "I’m afraid of what is going onin Washington DC right now," with a 4 (14%) or 5(36%) out of 5. Some of the homeowner-related issuesbeing discussed in Washington DC that might impactthem include: tax policy, deductibility of mortgageinterest, and health care.
Public Opinion Strategies, the firm that conductedthe survey, called the level of concern among home-owners about what is happening in Washington DC,
"unprecedented," but also something they are seeingin many areas of the country.
The next closest issue was, "I don’t think I couldsell my current home for enough," coming in at 32%(14% ranked it 4, and 18% ranked it 5).
On the other end of the spectrum, 62% gave a 1(the lowest ranking, noting very little worry) for con-cern about their job situation, 74% gave a 1 for gettinga loan, 73% gave a 1 for having to move to keep a job,and 61% gave a 1 or a 2 to not being able to afford anew home. Again, reinforcing the perception that theregional economy is strong.
No Need to HurryHomeowners who have made it through the Great
Recession are in a somewhat comfortable position andare being cautious with the equity in their home.Reasons for not selling their home include the fact thatmany, did a little remodeling in the last few years(54%), refinanced their mortgage with rates at histor-ically low levels (43%), or are looking at retiring soon(45%). They also are bullish on the future of the mar-ket; 54% said that with prices still increasing, theywant to see if their home will be worth more.
This population is holding in place for a whilelonger until they see what kind of policies come out ofWashington and how they will impact them, with nosense of urgency to sell due to local conditions.
Supply ProblemsAnother major problem for potential sellers, is that

Maintain privacy in the mobile phone age Many people’s mobile phones harbor
intimate details of their personal lives.Because their phones are now home topictures, passwords to “fast pay” creditcard links and private text conversa-tions, many people would probably nowbe less upset about losing their walletsthan losing their cellphones.
While men and women don’t have tobecome cyber security experts to pro-tect their mobile phone privacy, it paysto take certain steps to safeguardphones from hackers or thieves.
• Familiarize yourself with the “pri-vacy” feature on the settings of yourphone. Adjust these settings as neces-sary, examining the security settings oneach app that requires you to enter per-sonal information.
• Turn off geotagging on photos andvideos. This way images uploaded tosocial media will not contain locationdata.
• Properly vet apps before down-loading them. The Wall Street Journalinvestigated 101 apps in 2010 andfound that many share informationsuch as the phone’s ID number, loca-tion, user’s age and gender, and evencontacts list.
• Don’t allow a smartphone to auto-matically remember login passwords.And do not store passwords on the
phone, whether in an app or in a notefile.
• Use the security lockout featureand password protect your phone. Usinga mixture of special characters andcase-sensitive letters can help makepasswords harder to crack.
• Avoid transferring sensitive dataat public WiFi spots or over Bluetooth.
• Don’t be your own worst enemy.
Stop sharing or greatly reduce theamount of personal information youshare on social media and in email andtext exchanges.
It’s difficult to maintain privacy inthe digital age. Remaining constantlyaware of the security risks and lockingdown personal information can reducethe risk of having private informationmade public.
While men and women don’t have to become cyber security experts to protect their mobilephone privacy, it pays to take certain steps to safeguard phones from hackers or thieves.

they are looking to downsize theirdwelling. This makes sense in theMilwaukee market with a large BabyBoomer population that is looking at, oractively pursuing, downsizing. 58% of
homeowners would look for a new homein suburban communities, 23% in ruralareas and 18% in an urban environment.80% of owners would want to movesomewhere near their friends and family(43% rated this criteria as very impor-tant).
What type of dwelling do they want?60% say a condo or smaller home. This isvery problematic for our region wherenew home construction is still catchingup to its pre-recession production, yet
apartment construction continuesunchecked. There is a large disconnectbetween the types of housing currentlybeing developed and what the market iscalling for.
Wisconsin is historically known as ahigh property tax state, and 59% ofhomeowners in the region believe theirproperty taxes are too high. Some ofthat sentiment may be related to prop-erty values increasing in the last fewyears. Increasing values often lead to a
higher tax bill. • Public Opinion Strategies conduct-
ed the survey of 500 homeowners with250 phone & 250 online surveys in theGreater Milwaukee area. The survey wasconducted May 16-18, 2017 and has amargin of error of ±4.38%. Gene Ulm wasthe pollster and primary researcher onthe project. Caitlin Reed was the projectdirector and Ryan Garikes provided ana-lytical support.
