DEPUTY HANSON, WHO IS CURRENTLY THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER FOR PEQUOT LAKES HIGH SCHOOL, IS BATTLING A RARE FORM OF CANCER WHERE BRAIN TUMORS FORM IN THE ADRENAL GLAND.

HANSON WAS DIAGNOSED IN EARLY 2019 BUT IT DID NOT STOP HIM FROM BECOMING A POLICE OFFICER.

THIS JANUARY, HANSON WAS ADVISED THAT THE CANCER HAD SPREAD TO HIS LIVER.

HE IS NOT FIGHTING THIS FIGHT ALONE, AS MANY IN THE COMMUNITY HAVE SHOWN THEIR SUPPORT.

>> TO BE IN A COMMUNITY WHERE HE DID NOT GROW UP, HE DOESN'T HAVE A TON OF TIES TO, OTHER THAN THE LAST TWO TO THREE YEARS.

IT'S JUST HUGE FOR HIM, TO SEE THE COMMUNITY SUPPORT, TO SEE JUST ACROSS THE COUNTY HOW SUPPORTIVE PEOPLE ARE AND OVERALL, JUST FOR US IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, TO SEE THE RESPONSE WE HAVE IS AMAZING.

>> DEPUTY HANSON AND HIS GIRLFRIEND, AUBREY, ARE EXPECTING THEIR SECOND CHILD IN EARLY AUGUST.

THE VEHICLE WAS LOCATED IN MILLE LACS COUNTY AND WITH THE HELP OF THE MILLE LACS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE ALL STOLEN ITEMS WERE RECOVERED.

THE SEARCH FOR THE SUSPECTS IS ONGOING.

THE CASE REMAINS UNDER INVESTIGATION WITH ARREST WARRANTS PENDING.

THE AITKIN COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE IS ASKING NEARBY PROPERTY OWNERS TO CHECK THEIR BUILDINGS FOR SIGNS OF FORCED ENTRY AND MISSING PROPERTY.

>>> TAYLOR SWIFT HAS CHANGED THE MUSIC INDUSTRY AS ONE OF THE TOP ARTISTS OF THE MODERN ERA.

AND WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT, HAS INFLUENCED THE SPORTING WORLD.

NOW SHE CAN ADD THE LAND OF POLITICS TO THAT LIST AS A SO-CALLED TAYLOR SWIFT BILL HAS BEEN SIGNED INTO MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE EARLIER THIS MONTH.

OUR REPORTER MATTHEW FREEMAN SPOKE MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ TO UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT THIS BILL DOES.

>> Reporter: IF YOU EVER BOUGHT TICKETS ONLINE OR THROUGH A THIRD PARTY TICKETING APP, YOU MAY HAVE ENCOUNTERED HIDDEN FEES AT CHECKOUT.

>> I WOULD SEE THE PRICE AND BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE CHECKOUT, THE PRICE HAS DOUBLED OR TRIPLED.

OR WORSE YET, I GET ON AND THEY'RE ON SECONDARY SITES SOLD FOR TWO OR THREE TIMES MORE.

>> Reporter: THAT'S WHY THE TAYLOR SWIFT BILL CAME TO BE.

>> THE IDEA OF THIS IS THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE FAIRNESS.

CONSUMERS NEED TO BE PROTECTED.

YOU CANNOT FALSE ADVERTISE OR NOT DELIVER WHAT YOU SAY YOU ARE GOING TO DELIVER AND THIS LEGISLATION IS WHAT MOST PEOPLE WANT.

IF YOU WANT GET ON, SEE THE PRICE, AND PAY THE ADVERTISED PRICE.

>> Reporter: WHAT EXACTLY DOES THE BILL DO?

>> YOU GO ONLINE AND IT SAYS $65.

YOU HAVE FIVE MINUTES TO COMPLETE YOUR TRANSACTION.

YOU GO TO THE CHECKOUT, THEY ADDED FEES AND THE TICKET COSTS $100 BY THE TIME YOU'RE DONE.

THIS WOULD PUT ALL THE THINGS ON THE FRONT END.

IT WOULD MAKE IT SO YOU CAN'T BUY UP THESE TICKETS ON THE SECONDARY MARKET USING COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, PROTECTING FROM THE FRAUDULENT SALES.

I THINK THOSE THINGS, WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IS YOU WILL HAVE A BETTER OPPORTUNITY TO BUY TICKETS AND HAVE A FAIR PRICE AND KNOW THAT THE MONEY GOES TO THE VENUE OR THE PERFORMERS, NOT THE MIDDLEMAN THAT RAN THE PROGRAM.

THE TICKET MAY LOOK LIKE THIS ON THE FRONT END, BUT THERE ARE NO FEES.

IT'S ALL ON THE FRONT END.

>> Reporter: A REFERENCE TO SWIFT'S BIRTH YEAR AND ALBUM WITH THAT TITLE.

A LEGISLATOR BECAME FRUSTRATED TRYING TO BUY TICKETS ONLINE FOR HER CONCERT IN MINNEAPOLIS.

>> I'M HEARING FROM OTHER GOVERNORS, FOLKS ARE STARTING TO SAY LOOK, WE WANT TO REPLICATE THIS.

I HOPE THEY WILL DO IT AT A FEDERAL LEVEL AND TAYLOR SWIFT WAS JUST THE BEST EXAMPLE OF IT.

IT HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE DAY.

IT WILL BE HAPPENING WITH TICKETS THIS WEEKEND.

>> Reporter: REPORTING FOR LAKELAND NEWS, I'M MATTHEW FREEMAN.

>> THE LAW WILL TAKE EFFECT ON JANUARY 1, 2025 AND APPLIES TO TICKETS SOLD ON OR AFTER THAT DATE.

>>> NUTRITION AND THE FEDERAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, KNOWN AS SNAP, TOOK FOCUS AT A HOUSE HEARING ON WEDNESDAY.

THE HEARING COMES THE DAY BEFORE HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE SLATED TO MOVE ON THEIR VERSION OF THE MULTI-YEAR FUNDING BILL FOR THE NATION'S FOOD AND AGRICULTURE.

AND SOME DEMOCRATS ARGUE G.O.P.

PROPOSALS IN THE BILL WILL AMOUNT TO CUTS FOR THE SNAP PROGRAM.

KARIN CAIFA IS IN WASHINGTON WITH THE STORY.

>> Reporter: MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE SUBCOMMITTEE WENT ON A DIFFERENT TAKE ON THE SNAP PROGRAM.

ANDY HARRIS SAID PILOT PROGRAMS WOULD IMPLEMENT DIETARY RESTRICTIONS FOR SNAP RECIPIENTS.

>> IT'S SOLELY FOCUSED ON PROVIDING CALORIES INSTEAD OF NUTRITIOUS FOOD.

>> Reporter: BENEFITS NEED TO SUPPORT FOOD COSTS.

>> IT DOES LITTLE TO SOLVE THE UNDERLYING CHALLENGES WE FACE IN HUNGER.

>> Reporter: THE $1.5 TRILLION FARM BILL, WHICH FUNDS FEDERAL FOOD AND AGRICULTURE PROGRAM.

IT'S SHAPING UP AS A HOT TOPIC.

THE G.O.P.

BILL WILL CHANGE THE FORMULA WHICH BENEFITS ARE DETERMINED, AMOUNTING TO A $30 BILLION CUT.

G.O.P.

PROVISIONS OPENED THE DOOR WITH POLICING A SNAP RECIPIENT'S PURCHASES.

THEY ARGUE THEY CAN IMPROVE OVERALL HEALTH.

>> USING SNAP TO IMPROVE DIET QUALITY IS A SMALL PART OF WHAT SHOULD BE A BROADER POLICY APPROACH.

>> Reporter: A NEW ANALYSIS BY THE URBAN INSTITUTE FOUND THAT IT FAILED TO COVER THE COST OF MODERATELY PRICED MEALS DURING 2023.

IN WASHINGTON, I'M KARIN CAIFA.

>> THAT SAME ANALYSIS ALSO SHOWED A MONTHLY SHORTFALL RANGING BETWEEN ROUGHLY $49 AND $59 FOR THE COST OF A MODERATELY PRICED MEAL LAST YEAR.

THE GROCERY STORE IS LISTED AT 46,000 SQUARE FEET, A STARK DIFFERENCE FROM THE PREVIOUS 26,000 SQUARE FOOT SUPER ONE THAT PREVIOUSLY STOOD JUST EAST OF THE SITE.

REPORTER MILES WALKER HAS THE LATEST ON HOW THE WALKER COMMUNITY'S RECEIVING THE BRAND-NEW FACILITY.

>> Reporter: THE WALKER COMMUNITY IS ACCEPTING THE BRAND NEW SUPER ONE WELL, EVEN AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR OF CONSTRUCTION.

>> THE NEW FLOORING, THE CEILING, THE INSPIRATION TO FIND THE SPACE AND TIME TO DO THIS IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

I HAVE BEEN INSPIRED TO WATCH THE CONSTRUCTION OF IT.

>> Reporter: CONSIDERING THAT IT'S THE ONLY SUPER ONE IN WALKER AND THE MAIN GROCERY STORE IN THE TOWN, HAVING AN UPDATED VERSION OF THE GROCERY STORE MEANS THE WORLD TO THE COMMUNITY.

>> THE ADVANTAGE OF HAVING A NEW STORE FOR THE COMMUNITY AND THE ECONOMY IS MORE JOBS, OBVIOUSLY.

YOU KNOW, THE EBB AND FLOW OF PEOPLE THAT COME INTO TOWN DURING THE WINTER SLOWS DOWN TREMENDOUSLY BECAUSE THERE IS NOT A LOT GOING ON.

THAT WILL HELP OUR ECONOMY.

NEW FOOD, BETTER PRODUCE, MORE SELECTION.

>> Reporter: IT'S NOT JUST THE OPTIONS THAT HAVE IMPROVED BUT THE INCREASE IN AVAILABLE SPACE.

>> WE HAVE OUT GROWN THE SMALLER STORE.

SO SPACE IN THE AISLES, SPACE IN THE DEPARTMENTS, SPACE TO CARRY THE ITEMS WE NEEDED TO CARRY FOR OUR CUSTOMERS.

THE GROCERY STORE IS THE HUB OF A SMALL COMMUNITY AND NOW WE CAN GIVE OUR CUSTOMERS WHAT THEY NEED AND DESERVE.

IT'S THE LOCALS THAT KEEP US RUNNING YEAR ROUND.

NOW THEY HAVE A FACILITY THEY CAN COUNT ON ALL YEAR LONG.

>> Reporter: FOR THE WALKER COMMUNITY, THE SUPER ONE FOODS PROVIDES MORE SUPPLY AND SPACE, NEXT UP IS PROVIDING MORE VEHICLE SPACE AND COMPLETING THE PARKING LOT.

>> RIGHT NOW THE INTERIOR OF THE OLD STORE IS ALL TORN APART.

THEY'RE LOOKING AT TEARING DOWN THAT BUILDING AT SOME POINT THIS WEEK.

THAT WILL TAKE ABOUT A WEEK OR SO.

THEN THEY WILL BE GETTING THE NEW PARKING LOT, WHICH WILL TAKE ONE TO TWO WEEKS.

>> Reporter: REPORTING IN WALKER, MILES WALKER, LAKELAND NEWS.

>> IN ADDITION TO FINISHING THE PARKING LOT, THE SUPER ONE FOODS IN WALKER IS LOOKING TO HIRE AN ADDITIONAL 15 TO 20 MORE EMPLOYEES.

>>> FROM TELEVISION AND INTERNET, VIDEO GAMES, AND DEVICES, MEDIA IS EVERYWHERE AND IT CAN HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON A CHILD'S HEALTH AND WELL-BEING.

SINCE SUMMER IS WHEN MANY CHILDREN HAVE MORE SPARE TIME AND POTENTIALLY MORE SCREEN TIME, EXPERTS SAY TO LAY DOWN RULES NOW.

IN TODAY'S HEALTH MINUTE, MANDY GAITHER HAS MORE ON THE FIVE-C'S OF MEDIA USE.

>> Reporter: IN THE AGE OF TECHNOLOGY, IT CAN BE HARD TO KNOW HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH TIME SPENT IN FRONT OF A SCREEN.

>> EACH OF OUR CHILDREN ARE DIFFERENT.

WE LOVE THEM ALL THE SAME, BUT THEY'RE ALL DIFFERENT.

>> Reporter: THE C.D.C.

SAYS EXCESSIVE TIME SPENT ON SCREENS HAS BEEN LINKED TO THINGS LIKE WEIGHT GAIN, PHYSICAL INACTIVITY, REDUCED SLEEP QUALITY, POOR BODY IMAGE, POOR NUTRITION, DEPRESSION, AND ANXIETY.

THAT'S WHY SETTING SCREEN TIME LIMITS NOW IS IMPORTANT AND HOW PARENTS DO IT IS ALSO CRITICAL SAYS CHRIS WITH THE FAMILY CARE CENTER.

>> THAT'S WHAT REALLY DEVELOPS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN, ESPECIALLY TEENAGERS AND THEIR PARENTS, HOW THEY ENGAGE ON THINGS LIKE SCREEN TIME.

>> Reporter: HE SAYS THAT THE FIVE C'S OF MEDIA USE CAN HELP.

THE FIRST C IS FOR CHILD, SINCE PARENTS KNOW THEIR CHILDREN.

THINK ABOUT HOW MEDIA AFFECTS THEM, WHAT THEY ARE ATTRACTED TO.

NEXT, CONTENT.

LEARN ABOUT WHAT YOU WERE CHILD IS WATCHING, WHAT GAMES THEY ARE PLAYING.

THIRD, CALM, WHAT ARE OTHER WAYS TO CALM BRAINS AND BODIES DOWN INSTEAD OF MEDIA?

FOURTH, CROWDING OUT.

MEDIA USE IS STOPPING YOUR CHILD FROM THINGS LIKE FAMILY QUALITY TIME, SLEEP, OR TIME OUTDOORS, THINK OF WAYS TO GET THAT TIME BACK.

FINALLY, COMMUNICATION.

TALK ABOUT MEDIA EARLY AND OFTEN.

>> THE BEST WAY TO LOOK AT THE FIVE C'S IS THAT IT'S A FRAMEWORK FOR PARENTS TO THINK ABOUT SCREEN TIME AND THEIR PARTICULAR CHILD.

>> Reporter: FOR MENTAL HEALTH MINUTE, I'M MANDY GAITHER.

>> THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS ALSO HAS THE FIVE-C'S BROKEN OUT INTO AGE GROUPS FOR PARENTS.

FOR MORE INFORMATION CHECK OUT HEALTHYCHILDREN.ORG.

IT'S GOING TO STAY CONSISTENT FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

BACK TO YOU.

>> Charlie: WE HAVE SECTION SOFTBALL CONTINUING TOMORROW AND BASEBALL STARTING NEXT WEEK.

EVERYTHING IS STARTING TO GET INTO IT A LITTLE BIT.

>> Dennis: SPORTS WILL BE WRAPPING UP SOON.

>> Charlie: THE FIRST TWO WEEKS OF JUNE THEY WILL BE IN STATE AND THEN IT WILL BE ALL OVER.

>> Dennis: ALL RIGHT, HAVE A GOOD NIGHT EVERYBODY.

WE'LL BE BACK AT 10:00 TOMORROW, WE HOPE YOU CAN WATCH US THEN.

GOOD NIGHT.
