Meet the new owners of the Platteville Culver’s Meet Ben Kroll and Amanda Zbilski YF: What is your favorite custard flavor? Ben and Amanda: Our favorite custard flavor is Oreo cheesecake. YF: What are you most looking forward to in your future with Culver’s? Ben and Amanda: Continuing to service the community like Bruce has for the past 20+ years. We are hoping to build off of his success and strive to make sure every guest that eats at our restaurant leaves happy. YF: Ben, has Culver’s always been a part of your life? Ben: Yes, I remember spending a lot of time in the restaurant growing up. I worked in the restaurant for a few years when I turned 14. Looking back, I never would have thought we would have been in the position to build on what my dad has built. YF: Amanda, what do you look forward to in terms of restaurant ownership? Amanda: I have always been passionate about the food industry and have many years of experience in the restaurant business. I am looking forward to getting to know members
of the community and being as involved possible. YF: How has your first year of business owners been? Ben and Amanda: It has been a crazy year for both of us, becoming new business owners and planning our wedding for September 4 of this year has made for some busy days; but we are so thankful to our friends, families, and especially our staff at the restaurant for being so understanding and helpful during this process. We love the Platteville community and we extremely excited to serve everyone for many years to come.
Meet Bruce Kroll Previous Owner of Culver’s YF: What is your favorite flavor of custard? Bruce: Yet to find a flavor that I dislike, but if choosing a favorite, it would be Creamy Lemon Crumble. The flavor that I hate to see on the sign, is BonFire Smores. This was the flavor on the sign when the restaurant caught fire. YF: How did you first become involved with Culver’s? Bruce: In my previous life, I was an accountant for Schwan’s in Marshall, Minnesota. Myself and a friend were
looking into buying a seasonal Dairy Queen in Marshall. Well, that store was taken out with a flood. After that my father-in-law said we should look into Culver’s. I hadn’t heard of them, but we met with Craig Culver and the rest is history. YF: How many years did you own Culver’s? Bruce: 26 years YF: What is one lesson you have learned working in food service? Bruce: Be prepared for the upcoming business. My first Friday night during Lent, I ran out of cod by 7:00 p.m. I had lines of cars that had paid for cod dinners that I couldn’t deliver. I ran out to these guests with a handful of cash and apologized and asked that they give us a second chance. Ever since that experience, I double and triple checked product. YF: What was your favorite
aspect of being a restaurant owner? Bruce: All the people that I met over the years. I’ve been so blessed to work with so many people over the past 26 years. We had the opportunity to really impact and develop a lot of young people on their journey into adulthood. Watching the kids grow as an individual was a very cool thing to see. With that being said, it’s been the smile on the customers face that really makes what you are doing worthwhile. We are very close with a lot of customers, and they were such a big part of my daily life. We shared the joys and the sorrows with them as they did with us. We’ve seen a lot of great customers leave this earth to be with the Lord over the past 26 years and that isn’t easy. YF: What are your postretirement plans? Bruce: Spending more time with family. I know it sound cliche, but the restaurant business is all consuming and really took away from a lot of family time. Also, I will be spending time on our small farm property. Oh, lots of hunting and fishing. YF: What piece of advice can you offer the new owners? Bruce: Take time for family!!
Planting roots in the Cuba City community Southwest Health’s Cuba City Clinic recently opened its doors to the surrounding Cuba City, Hazel Green, and rural areas. The brand-new primary care and rehabilitation clinic brings expert care closer to your home. Southwest Health has worked diligently to address the growing need for care with additional primary care and rehabilitation providers in surrounding areas, closing barriers to care in rural communities.
Caring for the Whole Family Your primary care provider is your go-to resource for all things health. That’s why it’s crucial to have a provider that you can turn to and feel comfortable. Even more important is having a primary care provider that is accessible, allowing you to see them when an issue arises. If you are seeing different providers, you may not have fostered the same trusting relationship if you were to see the same person for years. Your primary provider can have a deeper understanding of your and your family’s medical history. Primary care providers care for the whole family. They are often a parent’s first defense when protecting
children against diseases like measles and whooping cough. Consistent visits can help providers create a baseline of care, track developmental milestones, and establish a relationship with your child. Dr. Kevin Carr is familiar to many in the Cuba City area, practicing in southwest Wisconsin since the late 1980s, offering area residents decades of medical experience with a focus on family medicine and special interests in colorectal surgery, exercise stress testing, and obstetrics. Dr. Zach Droeszler cares for all ages, from the youngest members of your family and oldest. He is knowledgeable about the unique situations and challenges faced in rural areas. He looks forward to caring for the adults and children of southwest Wisconsin, where he grew up, while being an active member of the growing community. Chelsea Hayes, PA-C, sees patients in Southwest Health’s Urgent Care in Platteville and in the clinic setting, where she treats patients of all ages, providing a full range of primary and family medical care. She’s especially attuned to educating patients about their health and promoting preventive
medicine strategies to improve and maintain health. Brooke Shannon, PA-C, enjoys practicing family medicine because of its variety. She has a particular interest in dermatology and seeing an improvement in a patient’s skin condition with treatment and doing more hands-on work such as biopsies or excisions.
Bringing You Back Better Personalized, one-on-one care is where our rehabilitation experts excel. Whether you’re looking to improve mobility, recover from surgery, or somewhere in-between, Southwest Health’s rehab experts offer all the advanced capabilities you need to get back in the game, even if that game is sitting on the sidelines cheering on your grandkids. The new rehab space at the Cuba City Clinic is designed to bring you back to your life and help you make personal breakthroughs. Staci Graber, MPT, has extensive experience with geriatric rehabilitation, including stroke recovery and balance disturbances. Staci also has experience working with joint replacements, sports rehabilitation, and concussion management techniques.
Joshua Bruner, DPT, OCS, CSCS, has worked in various orthopedic facilities, focusing on sports injuries, joint replacements, and post-surgical rehabilitation. He understands rehabilitation services involving workers’ compensation injuries and work-hardening programs. Ann Morley, OTR/L, CLT, has several years of experience in inpatient and outpatient care, nursing homes, home health, and senior psych rehab settings. Her experiences include working in community-based resident facilities, developmental workshops, and hospice care environments.
Make the Switch If you’d like your next appointment to be at the Cuba City Clinic to take advantage of the new rehab space, or if this clinic is closer to your home, call Southwest Health’s Cuba City Clinic at (608) 744-2767 to set up your next appointment.

What dairy does for you and your body
body uses calcium to build bones and teeth and maintain bone mass. That can help people lower their risk for osteoporosis, a potentially debilitating condition characterized by brittle, fragile bones that are vulnerable to injury due to tissue loss.
Vitamin D
A balanced diet that’s rich in nutrients is a key component of a healthy lifestyle. Nutritious diets include fruits and vegetables, but a truly well-rounded diet also includes dairy. The Dairy Council of California® notes that dairy products are good sources of calcium and vitamin D, giving them a well-earned reputation as nutrient-rich products worthy of inclusion in healthy diets. Dairy products are more than just milk. In fact, the United States Department of Agriculture notes that low- or reducedfat cheeses and yogurts can provide a host of vitamins and nutrients for those who want to include dairy in their diets without pouring themselves a glass of milk. The effects of dairy on the body are numerous, and the following are just some of the ways that the various nutrients and vitamins in dairy can have a positive impact on you and your body.
Calcium Various dairy products, including lowfat milk, yogurt and cottage cheese, are rich in calcium. The USDA notes that the
Dairy products that are fortified with vitamin D can help to build and maintain healthy bones. Milk, soy milk and certain yogurts and cereals are among the products that may be fortified with vitamin D. It’s important to note that people can overdo it in regard to vitamin D. In fact, a 2010 study published in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that intake of very high doses of vitamin D among older women was linked to more falls and fractures. That’s something to consider for people considering vitamin D supplements, which have become widely popular in recent years. Such supplements should be discussed with a physician, who may just advise those concerned about their vitamin D intake to consume more low-fat dairy products.
Potassium According to the USDA, certain dairy products can be great sources of potassium. The organization notes that milk and yogurt have more potassium and less sodium than cheeses. Diets that include sufficient potassium have been linked to healthy blood pressure. Fruits and vegetables may the first foods people think of when crafting healthy eating habits. But dairy products also make great, nutrient-rich additions to any diet.
FAVORITE MAC AND CHEESE 2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni 2 cups fresh or frozen broccoli florets ½ cup chopped onion 3 tablespoons butter, cubed and divided ½ cup milk 1 to 2 teaspoons mustard 1/8 teaspoon pepper 1 container (16 ounces) Pine River Sharp Cheddar Cold Pack cheese 1/3 cup saltine cracker crumbs Heat oven to 350°F. Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente; drain. Meanwhile, arrange broccoli in a steamer basket. Place basket in a saucepan over 1½ inches of water; bring to a boil. Cover and steam for 5-8 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Remove from the heat; keep warm. Sauté onion in 2 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan over medium-high heat until crisp-tender. Reduce heat to medium-low. Gradually stir in milk, mustard and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Gradually stir in cheddar until melted. Stir in macaroni and broccoli. Transfer macaroni mixture to a greased 2-quart baking dish. Melt remaining butter; toss with cracker crumbs. Sprinkle crumbs over top.

The many health benefits of dairy Many people recall the slogan “Milk, it does a body good.” But as different health fads have emerged since that slogan was first uttered, including an increased availability of dairy alternatives, dairy has been somewhat pushed aside, leaving many people to question if it is a friend or foe. According to Vasanti Malik, a nutrition research scientist with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, dairy isn’t necessary for maintaining optimal health for humans. However, it is one of the best and easiest ways to get ample amounts of vitamin D, protein and calcium, each of which keeps vital organs, muscles and bones functioning properly. Here’s a deeper look at dairy in the average diet.
risk for osteoporosis, states the Dairy Alliance. Eating and drinking foods rich in calcium may offset a possible protein-calcium loss that occurs with aging, thus protecting bone health.
Heart health benefits
What is dairy? Dairy products consist of a variety of products that are from mammals, including cows, goats and sheep. These include milk, yogurt, cheese, kefir, ice cream, butter, ghee, cream, cream cheese, sour cream, whey products, and casein. Dairy products are often categorized as “regular,” “whole,” “reduced fat,” “low-fat,” or “skim.” These characterizations indicate the fat content in a given item.
Nutritional benefits of dairy Dairy products are nutrient-dense and great sources of protein, calcium and vitamins. Protein builds and repairs muscle tissue; carbohydrates in
milk provide energy; and calcium and phosphorous can help strengthen bones and teeth. Vitamin D helps promote the absorption of calcium. Dairy also contains riboflavin, vitamin A, pantothenic acid, potassium and niacin. One eight-ounce serving of milk contains the recommended daily values of these nutrients based on guidelines from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration.
Bone health Dairy protein and calcium may play critical roles in bone health and density, helping to reduce the
Some people avoid dairy because of perceptions that it is bad for cardiac health. A report presented at the 2018 Congress of the European Society of Cardiology that looked at 20 studies involving around 25,000 people found no association between the consumption of most dairy products (including whole fat varieties) and cardiovascular disease. The only exception was milk, but the results showed one would have to drink almost a liter of milk a day for a higher risk of cardiovascular disease. Still, the American Heart Association recommends adults choose fat-free or low-fat dairy products whenever possible. Also, a 2018 study published in the British Journal of Nutrition found men who ate plenty of fermented dairy products like yogurt and cheese had a smaller risk of coronary artery disease than men who ate less. Additional benefits of dairy include a reduced risk of childhood obesity and an improvement in body composition and weight loss during energy restriction in adults, according to a 2016 report in the Journal of Food and Nutrition Research. Dairy provides many health benefits. People concerned about their overall health should work recommended dairy servings into their daily diets. mcg.metrocreativeconnection.com

Wisconsin dairy farmers work with cheesemakers to craft over 600 varieties, types and styles of Wisconsin cheese, creating half of the nation’s specialty cheese. The Wisconsin dairy industry generates a $45.6 billion economic impact, $1.26 billion in state and local taxes, and 154,000 jobs for the state annually. There are nearly 6,500 dairy farms in Wisconsin and 95% are family owned. Wisconsin dairy products are enjoyed by more than 300 million consumers around the world. These sources will provide additional details about Wisconsins dairy farms, cheese and a breakdown of the economic impact by county.
Nutrition Dairy foods like milk and cheese are a natural source of immune-boosting nutrients needed for overall wellness. In fact there are 13 essential nutrients found in milk including Vitamin A, Vitamin D, zinc and protein. The protein in dairy whey and casein keeps you feeling full longer, provides energy to fuel your day and helps muscles recover while you sleep. Fermented dairy foods like yogurt are linked to health benefits including reduced inflammation, improved digestive health and healthy immune systems. Milk offers a unique and powerful combination of essential nutrients like Vitamin B12, zinc, iodine, calcium and protein that are essential for immunity, cognitive development and performance.
Now THAT’S Something To Smile About!
Female Farmers 2017 U.S. census data shows a 16% increase in the number of female farmers in Wisconsin, just over 38,500; women make up 35% of all producers in the state. Women landowners and farmers are a growing demographic. Many of them are leading local, state and national organizations such as Dairy Girl Network, Wisconsin Women in Conservation, Dairy Business Association, and Animal Agriculture Alliance.
History Of National Dairy Month Dairy farming has been a pillar of Wisconsins economy for more than 180 years. National Dairy Month started out as National Milk Month in 1937 to promote drinking milk. In 1939, June Dairy Month became the official title of the promotion and focused on greater use of milk and other dairy products. National Dairy Month is an annual tradition that celebrates the contributions the dairy industry makes to the state and the world. In Wisconsin, we celebrate National Dairy Month bigger than anywhere else with on-farm breakfast events and enjoyment of the worlds best dairy products. www.wisconsindairy.org/Dairy-Month/Media-Press-Kit

footprint by 20%, and use 21% less land and 31% less water per gallon of milk than just three years ago.
Sustainable Farming The carbon footprint of a glass of milk is two-thirds less than it was 70 years ago, yet it still has the same nutritional benefits and great taste. Wisconsin has over 28 dairy-farmer-led watershed groups that protect hundreds of thousands of acres of land and water. Producing a gallon of milk has 19% less greenhouse gas emissions than it did in 2007. Thats equivalent to the amount of carbon dioxide removed from the atmosphere by half a million acres of U.S. Forest every year. Thanks to the dairy communitys focus on sustainability, dairy farmers have shrunk their carbon

7 ways to save more for retirement Retirement seems like a lifetime away for young professionals. But as careers advance, families are started and milestones are met, retirement can start to feel a lot closer. A 2014 Gallup poll indicates that most Americans now retire at age 62. That is a good starting point when planning your retirement. The earlier you start establishing savings goals and putting plans in motion, the more likely you will be to retire on time without having to worry about money. These strategies can help you save more for retirement years. Raise . what raise? If you’re lucky enough to get a salary increase at work, direct the extra money into retirement savings accounts and act
like the raise never happened. You won’t miss the extra money since you were not accustomed to earning it, and redirecting it into retirement savings can go a long way toward procuring your financial future. Max out deposit limits. By depositing the maximum allowable amount into your retirement accounts each year, you can grow your retirement savings quickly and earn considerably more interest on your money over the life of the account. Allocate your tax refund. Elect to apply your tax refund to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA. Take advantage of employers’ offers to match retirement contributions. Many employers will
match 401(k) contributions if you save enough to qualify. This is an easy way to save without having to put in any extra money out of your own pocket. Make sure you’re vested in the 401(k) plan so that the employer contributions can be taken with you if you leave a job. Open a Roth IRA. A Roth IRA is a retirement savings vehicle that enables you to pay taxes on the money you put in up front. When you become eligible to withdraw the funds (after age 591/2), they are tax-free. Aim for a 15 percent investment. Start investing 15 percent of gross income for retirement once you’re debt-free and have a fully funded emergency fund. Such a strategy can
go a long way toward ensuring you have enough money to do what you want throughout retirement. Make calculated cuts. Think about which items you can live without and dedicate what you would spend on those expenditures to retirement. For example, calculate the difference between buying a new car and a certified pre-owned model. Deposit the savings into retirement. Can you skip a vacation this year and do a staycation instead? Forgoing certain luxuries can help you build retirement savings. Saving for retirement becomes a little easier with strategies that can make money go further. mcg.metrocreativeconnection.com
Exploring hospice and palliative care Palliative care Palliative care may be available at any time for individuals with serious and potentially life-threatening conditions. According to Healthline, palliative care is focused on improving the overall wellness of individuals with serious illnesses, such as Alzheimer’s disease, cancer, COPD, and other chronic illnesses. Since it is based on individuals’ needs, palliative care can differ from one person to the next. WebMD says a palliative care program frequently aims to ease pain and help with other problems, including improving comfort. It is used in addition to other treatments. Palliative care also can help patients and their families if an illnesss makes it more difficult
to get around, leads to depression or adversely affects the family, including caregivers.
Hospice care The National Institute on Aging notes that hospice care may be recommended when it is no longer possible to cure a serious illness or when a patient opts out of certain treatments. Like palliative care, hospice provides comprehensive comfort care and family support. However, attempts to cure the person’s illness are stopped in hospice. Hospice is typically recommended when a person with a terminal illness has around six months or less to live. When people hear “going into hospice” they may think this means
entering a facility. However, hospice can take place in many different settings, including at home, in a nursing home, in a hospital, or even a facility that specializes in hospice care. Both palliative and hospice care bring together a team of health care professionals with special skills. This team can include doctors, nurses, social workers, therapists, spiritual advisors, and trained volunteers. Everyone works together to address patients’ emotional, medical and spiritual needs. The main difference between palliative and hospice care is when each is offered to a patient. Palliative care can be available at any time, regardless of illness stage, prognosis or life expectancy. Hospice care is
only available when an illness is no longer responding to treatment. It is sometimes known as end-of-life care. However, a person can come out of hospice care should his or her condition begin to improve. Patients and their families can discuss the options of palliative and hospice care with their health care teams. While these types of care have become much more accessible in recent years, they may not be available everywhere. It also pays to ask questions about health insurance coverage to determine if the costs of palliative or hospice care will be covered by a provider. A long-term care policy also may be an option to cover palliative services. mcg.metrocreativeconnection.com
