September is Food Safety Education Month.
Pat Haney, a Food Safety Consultant in Green Bay, says handwashing is the best way to prevent
foodborne illness.

And it doesn't cost anything.
Haney also recommends using separate cutting boards for meat and vegetables to avoid cross
contamination.
While saving for college can seem overwhelming, one thing can be certain, saving for this
major milestone is less expensive than taking out student loans.

Thinking about heading to the movies this weekend, here are some films that hit theaters
for your consideration.
There has been no shortage of horror films in the cinema this year, and this weekend's
thriller offering is Speak No Evil starring James McAvoy.
Speak No Evil tells the story of an American family invited to spend the weekend at a rich
British estate, but as so often happens, evil rears its ugly head.
The film is pulling an 88% on Rotten Tomatoes.
If you like wrestlers turned actors and are in the mood for an action comedy, check out
David Patista in the killers game.
Patista plays a dying hitman who takes out a contract on himself only to find out the
assassin he hired is also going after his ex-wife.
But by or beware, the film has not been made available to critics yet, so at least there
are no bad reviews.
If you feel like sitting in on this beautiful weekend, check out Wise Guy, David Chase,
and the sopranos, a docu series about the making of the HBO show where Chase and everyone
in the cast talk about how much they dislike their mothers.
Let's go to the movies.
A judge in Michigan ordered Sean Diddy Combs to pony up a hundred million to a man in
Michigan for a sexual assault.
The man claims Combs drugged him and molested him at a party.
Lee Cardello Smith was a bartender who says the last thing he remembered was Combs handing
him a drink before he passed out.
Cardello is currently in prison for crimes similar to Combs as well as kidnapping, that
Sean Combs is incorrigible.
Okay, ridiculous cuteness alert, Travis Kelsey and his girlfriend also known as Taylor Swift,
performed together at the U.S. Open.
It all happened while watching tennis from the stands.
First there was the requisite canoodling while matches were being played.
Then during a break, the darks I believe in a thing called love came on.
The couple seemed to sing the song while serenading each other and dancing.
Hopefully for the sake of those sitting close by, Kelsey was just lip-sinking.
Aren't they just the cutest?
Dream Kardashian, seven, has her own Instagram.
She's the daughter of black China and Rob Kardashian.
He's the youngest of proud grandma Chris Kardashian's talentless but attention-hungry
clan.
But Kim K's son, St. West, was the first to have a YouTube channel at eight.
I'm not sure what took so long.
Before you judge, just know that Kim made her son sign a very strict contract regarding
said YouTube account that she shared on the gram.
The contract is not involved talking to strangers.
Oh no.
I'm promising not to share family info, like they do every week on their numerous pandering
reality shows.
Or film anything personal, really Kim.
St. West, who even at the age of eight must know his name is nauseating, is also not
allowed to film or record when his sibling North is recording.
That's his 11-year-old sister.
You can't be too careful.
I mean, can you imagine how people are chomping at the bit to get a bootleg copy of an 11-year-old
whose voice hasn't even changed yet?
Those Kardashians are hard to keep up with.
