According to the American Cancer Society, one in eight women in the U.S. will develop
breast cancer in their lifetime.
Isabella Niatto has more.
October is breast cancer awareness month and serves as a reminder that understanding
your personal risk could save your life.
Dr. Cecilia Strode is an Aspirus Health breast surgeon.
She says some patients are at a higher risk than others.
We would like to see the cancers that we see to be screen-detected and for that to happen
we need women to have the screening that is appropriate for them at their particular
level of risk.
Family history, genetics and other health factors can increase your chances of developing
breast cancer.
Strode says while family history is an important part of identifying risk factors, it's a small
part.
Most patients who get cancer, breast cancer don't have an actual family history of breast
cancer in close relatives.
Strode says patients who have received treatment for other cancers also have a high risk of
developing breast cancer.
Women who have high risk breast biopsies with atypical findings, women who have had chest
wall radiation as part of cancer treatment at a younger age before 30.
And then there are some other things as well, but those are the big ones.
Breast tissue density can also increase your risk.
Strode says denser breast tissue requires more detailed scans.
For women who have really extremely dense breast and that is an official term, extremely
dense breast, MRI imaging is going to be a much better way to screen.
Strode says even women who have had mammograms that appeared normal need to have a clinical
breast exam in case they do need a biopsy.
Strode recommends women get their mammograms and disclose any changes they have noticed
in their breast to their health care provider.
For civic media news, I'm Isabel Anieto.
Wisconsin farmers, particularly soybean growers, are expressing concerns about the impact of
the Trump administration tariffs on their overseas markets.
Joanne Croulott's reports, Congressman Tom Tiffany says those concerns are being heard.
I think you'll see the administration continue to use tariffs to bring production of, especially
manufacturing back to America and the thing that I'm hearing more often now from the
egg department is they're going to use some of that tariff revenue, which is significant
to help farmers out.
Tiffany says the US needs to stay the course with the Trump administration's tariff policies.
The big player in this is China and China is trying to bring America to its knees.
Their goal is world hegemony.
They want to control the 21st century.
Tiffany, who's running for governor commented at the recent World Dairy Expo in Madison,
Wisconsin farmers typically export about two thirds of the roughly $1.3 billion worth
of the soybeans they grow annually.
China has refused to buy any US grown soybeans this year due to the tariffs.
A recent statement from the nonpartisan Wisconsin soybean association says the organization
is extremely concerned for the state's farm economy.
Governor Tony Evers says he will consider taking executive action to address the impacts
of the federal government shutdown if needed.
According to a West politics report, Governor Evers told reporters that he'd specifically
consider taking executive action to address issues with health care that arise amid the
shutdown during a visit to Brown Deer.
He referred to using state resources to keeping Wisconsinites healthy as low-hanging fruit,
and argued extending the Affordable Care Act tax credits shouldn't be a big thing for
Republicans to accept.
FEMA is accepting applications for flooding damage until November 12th.
However, the Wisconsin Emergency Management Administrator Greg Engel recommends that
people don't wait until the last minute.
You will need to share information on the assistance application, such as your social
security number and annual household income, and a FEMA inspector will contact you to set
up a time and date to perform an inspection.
FEMA inspectors will always carry an official photo ID and never ask for any bank information
or charge a fee for inspection.
If you are unsure whether a visit or call is legitimate, contact the FEMA helpline to
verify at 800-621-3362.
It's time for the fall drug take-back event.
This is for unwanted, unneeded, or expired prescription and over-the-counter medications
you need to dispose of safely.
You should keep them in their original containers with the identification of the medicine intact.
You should remove the patient's name.
In Portage County, collections will start as soon as October 20th in Rochelle.
October 22nd will be in Amherst, October 23rd in Junction City, and October 25th in
Stevens Point and Almond.

Marshfield City Hall, Pickensave in Wisconsin Rapids, the Pitzfield Police Department, and
the Port Edwards Fire Department.
In Adams County, collection will take place at the town of Rome Police Department.
The Wisconsin DNR reminds the public that candlelight hikes, fall festivals, and other seasonal
events will be held throughout October and November, at Wisconsin State Park System

Baseball tonight, Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports.
The Brewers in the Dodgers Meet for Game 1 of the National League Championship Series
at Amfam Field.
The last time the Brewers made it this far was in 2018.
When they lost in seven games to this same Dodgers team, the Dodgers then advanced to
the World Series, but lost to the Boston Red Sox in five.
College football, the Badgers, with another poor performance, losing 37 to nothing on
homecoming to the Iowa Hawkeyes, Badgers head coach Luke Fickle.
Fall camp, I would tell you that we were in a better place.
No, no, we're not better than most of the people were maybe anybody right now that
we're playing.
Well, the Packers over the Bengals, 27 to 18, Green Bay running back, Josh Jacobs led
with five receptions, 18 carries for a total of 150 yards and two touchdowns, even though
he had the flu.
I really don't know where it came from, just kind of woke up this morning just not feeling
my best.
I told him I said last time that I felt that way I had 130 and two touchdowns, so it is
what it is.
And Josh Jacobs, with Sports on Mike Clemens.
