Community members who've been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, told they are at risk for diabetes, or identified with elevated blood sugar levels, now have a direct pathway to improve their health.

The Richland Hospital and Clinics has announced the return of its popular wellness workshop set to begin Wednesday, October 21.

Designed to provide participants with practical tools, education, and encouragement, the program focuses on helping individuals make sustainable changes to prevent or reverse the onset of type 2 diabetes.

The five-week program meets every other week and is available for a $40 registration fee.

Included in the cost is a TANITA body composition scan, an advanced assessment that provides a comprehensive look at an individual's physical health by measuring muscle mass, body fat percentage, hydration levels, and other key wellness indicators.

To ensure the workshop remains accessible to everyone in the community, financial scholarship assistance is available for those who qualify.

Healthcare professionals involved with the workshop emphasize the critical importance of early action.

Ty Mohullen registered dietician and certified diabetes care and education specialist.

Noted that pre-diabetes serves as an essential warning sign that the body is struggling to manage blood sugar properly.

However, Mohullen points out that progression to type 2 diabetes is not inevitable.

Modest weight loss, healthier nutritional habits, routine physical activity, stress reduction, and adequate sleep can dramatically alter health outcomes and reduce long-term risks.

Because prediabetes rarely presents noticeable symptoms, experts stress the necessity of attending annual checkups and paying attention to elevated blood lab results.

Registered dietitians and workshop leaders Kelly Herbert and Lindsay Hatfield highlight that the program aims to build achievable long-term habits

rather than temporary fixes by focusing on realistic movement and daily dietary adjustments, the workshop guides.

participants towards steady, meaningful progress in an engaging and supportive classroom setting.

Space in the upcoming session is limited, and interested community members are encouraged to enroll early.

For additional information regarding workshop details, scholarship applications, or registration, individuals can contact the Richland Hospital and Clinics directly at 647-6321.

Constructed in 1957, the Berlin Army National Guard Armory served generations of Wisconsin soldiers for nearly seven decades.

Units that have been stationed at the facility include Company C, 232nd Transportation Battalion, an element of the 1157 Transportation Company, the 332nd Support Center, Rear Area Operations Center, and Department I, Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, 1st Battalion, and 120th.

field artillery.

Soldiers serving from Berlin mobilized during the 1961 Berlin Crisis Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, the war in Afghanistan, Joint Task Force Katrina and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The facility also served the Berlin community as a polling location for more than 20 years.

September 12, today, the Wisconsin Army National Guard will conduct a formal closure ceremony of the Berlin Armory as part of an overall modernization effort to consolidate operations, improve command and control, and increase unit efficiency.

The Green Bay, as the Green Bay Packers prepare to kick off their season this Sunday, US Senator Tammy Baldwin is pushing for the passage of her for the fans act to ensure that all Wisconsin residents can watch their home team play without being forced to pay for expensive streaming subscriptions.

The legislation comes in response to an increasing number of professional sports games being broadcast exclusively on streaming platforms.

In the upcoming NFL season, four Packers games will be locked behind

streaming paywalls, forcing millions of Wisconsinites to pay additional subscription fees.

Under current rules, only viewers in the Green Bay and Milwaukee media markets are guaranteed free local television broadcasts, leaving more than half of the state's residents potentially without access to the games.

Senator Baldwin emphasized the unifying power of sports in Wisconsin and criticized billionaire owned streaming companies and professional leagues for rigging the rules to squeeze more money from fans.

She noted that Wisconsin families are already financially stretched and that the bill aims to provide some relief by ending the confusing and expensive maze of subscriptions.

The For the Fans Act would mandate free live viewing access for local fans and eliminate blackouts on legal platforms such as

NBA League Pass and MLB.TV.

The bill's provisions would apply to major professional sports leagues, including baseball, basketball, football, hockey, and soccer, with exemptions only for minor leagues and leagues with fewer than eight teams.

Recent polling from Data for Progress indicates that an overwhelming majority of Americans support the bill's goals of ending blackouts and reducing viewing costs.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Consumers look for help when they have their identity or money stolen through a scam.

Unfortunately, when they try to find someone reliable to assist them, consumers can fall victim to a recovery scam.

Michelle Ryan is with the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture Trade and Consumer Protection.

in a recovery scam.

This scammer impersonates those trusted resources like that government agency law firm or that consumer support organization.

And they claim that they can help a consumer recover from a scam loss.

That scammer then claims that they can help recover that stolen money or identity for a price.

But really they're just being targeted by the scammers all over again.

And we did hear from a consumer

who reported that after they lost $5,000 to a cryptocurrency scam, they were contacted by what they thought was a reputable company claiming they could help get the consumer's money back.

And the consumer transferred another $500 to this company through what they thought was a legitimate platform, but soon realized the website was just a convincing copy of a real platform and was actually controlled by this scammer.

And of course that scammer refused to refund that $500 and so the consumer lost even more money.

If you have been victim of the scam and need help recovering money, you can contact that caps consumer protection hotline by phone at 1-800-422-7128 or by email at datcphotline.wi.gov.
