Morning Show host Joel Carnick spoke with Sue about the San on Zell's Foundation and about their upcoming deadline for applicants.

Alongside how you could possibly help them out.

Definitely November 15th is a Saturday that would be the deadline for applicants.

But however, if you've been thinking here in that little voice of giving and serving in your heart,

definitely consider we're having our first informational meeting this Saturday, November 1st at the Congregational Church in Fayfield.

So if you're interested about the group, it's not a big commitment. You can come at presence one day out of the season.

If you feel like shopping online for us or any of there's many different ways that you can contribute and not have to have a huge commitment.

We then ask Sue how you can apply and about what area of San on Zell's covers.

The easiest way is to go to our website at santaselvesfoundation.org and the application is right there.

You can reach out to us and get it through our Facebook page as well. The schools have applications and the county health department.

So we do serve, of course, all of Price County and Southern Ashland County to include Glidden to the south.

Once again, that website is santaselvesfoundation.org.

Thursday, November 13th, from 5.30pm to 9.30pm, there's a basic life support CPR course over at North Central Technical College in Philips.

You can learn more and register at NTC.edu.

Once again, this is taking place Thursday, November 13th, at 5.30pm, over at North Central Technical College in Philips.

What exactly is MoVember? Lisa Hale explains.

In November, attention turns to men with a movement called MoVember.

It brings attention to men's health issues such as prostate cancer, testicular cancer and men's mental health.

A Cleveland Clinic study found that 44% of men do not get a yearly physical, many forego regular screenings and generally avoid going to the doctor if they can help it.

They to care urologist Dr. Andrew Mays.

Men have unique obstacles.

We see that men are less likely to see their primary care physician, less likely to have their annual wellness.

Really check in and make sure their health and wellness are where they need it to be.

Mays said men of all ages should make their yearly visits to the doctor, but when a man hits 50, it becomes critical to have regular screenings for prostate cancer.

Testicular cancer and colorectal cancer.

If we find a problem early, we can easily detect and then hopefully treat that, whether it's with the surgery or radiation or some degree of intervention that not only optimizes their quality of life, and then obviously the longevity of life.

According to the Wisconsin Cancer Reporting System, the most frequently diagnosed cancer among Wisconsin men is prostate cancer, making up 23% of all new cancer diagnosis in Wisconsin men.

The premise of November is this.

Mobros grow mustaches to bring awareness to mental health issues.

The movement is also called no shave November.

For civic media news, I'm Lisa Hale.

Food share members will be getting partial November benefits.

The Wisconsin Department of Health Services is awaiting instructions and details from the federal government and will work as quickly as possible to get funds added to members' cards.

Members can use any benefits already on their cards during the shutdown. You can get the latest at dhs.wisconsin.gov

and you can get help if you need food or infant formula by calling 211.

Thursday November 20th from 1.30pm to 3.30pm, there's homeschool and virtual learning wreath making.

Over at the Phil's Public Library, you can call or stop into library to sign up, and that deadline is November 14th with one wreath per family.

The number to call is 715-339-2868.

Once again this is taking place, Thursday November 20th from 1.30pm to 3.30pm, over at the Phil's Public Library.

November is lung cancer awareness month, Isabell Nieto has more.

According to the American Lung Association, more than 35 million Americans live with lung disease.

Lung cancer is the second most common cancer in the United States, not counting skin cancer, right behind breast cancer for women and prostate cancer for men.

Someone is diagnosed with lung cancer in the U.S. about every two minutes, with around 360 deaths per day.

That means roughly one in five cancer deaths are due to lung cancer.

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends yearly lung cancer screenings, for anyone who is between 50 and 80 years old, has a 20-packed year or more smoking history and smokes now or has quit within the past 15 years.

I'm Isabell Nieto for Civic Media News.

A Bucks win at the buzzer, I am Mike Clemens with Sports, NBA.

A Bucks victory thanks to a jump shot at the buzzer by Janus Antedicouple.

117 to 115 over the Pacers, Doc Rivers says though Janus is getting fouled every night and not getting the calls.

I just think the way he gets officiated is not right, it's brutal and hell we can call the file every time.

Well if you do they'll stop following them, so anyway we want.

The Bucks Road Trip continues tonight in Toronto, against the Raptors, College Hoops, 24th rank Wisconsin, over Campbell University, 96-64,

A report says Pacers defense at Backnade Hobbes will now miss time with a spring knee and tied in Tucker-Craft out for the season with a Torne ACL.

He's a hell of a player, hell of a teammate, hell of a guy.
