Packers should extend Lions recent misery on Thanksgiving Day

November 26, 2009 By

Detroit Lions fans were energized by last week’s come from behind win over Cleveland, a game in which their quarterback Matthew Stafford tossed five touchdown passes.  Unfortunately for Lions fans, Stafford hurt his shoulder late in that game and isn’t expected to play this week, and wide receiver Calvin Johnson could also miss the game with injuries.

Missing those two players would render the Lions offense punch-less.  The Packers won the first meeting 26-0 at Lambeau Field earlier with Matthew Stafford and Calvin Johnson sitting that one out as well.

Detroit has had the upper hand on the Packers on Thanksgiving Day (11-6-1), but recently, they’ve struggled.  The Lions were blown out by Tennessee last year and in the last 5-seasons, the Lions have been outscored 179-62 on Thanksgiving Day. [Read more...]

Healthy holiday eating also means food safety

November 26, 2009 By

If you’re watching your waist size this Thanksgiving, just watch sizes on your plate according to a registered dietician. “It’s all about portion sizes;” says Barbara Troy, clinical assistant professor at Marquette University, who says any food fits into a healthy diet. She says things like eating slowly and sitting down to eat rather than snacking while socializing will help cut down the excess eating.

Of course some foods are healthier than others. Turkey is very lean meat but Troy says watch the stuffing which is usually high in fat; and cranberry sauce which is laden with sugar.

Part of the fun of Thanksgiving is leftovers. Food safety is important too, especially if you hit the road for a long drive after the meal.

Troy says protein based leftovers such as egg based stuffing should be eaten within a few days. Turkey can be frozen and reheated; or in the fridge for up to five days then used as an ingredient with other meals.

Deputy accused of sexually assaulting teen resigns

November 26, 2009 By

A deputy with the Rock County Sheriff’s Department, accused of sexually assaulting a teen at a Halloween party, has resigned. Steven L. Stenulson of Janesville was asked to resign in the midst of allegations he sexually assaulted an 18-year-girl November 1st in Milton. According to Sheriff Bob Spoden, the party included underage drinking.

Spoden said the 38 year-old Stenulson resigned November 18th, and the sheriff’s office’s internal investigation ended. Stenulson could have been disciplined or fired as a result of that investigation.

The deputy was arrested Monday, November 2nd, after the teen told Milton police investigators that she awoke from a nap at a Halloween party and found an off-duty deputy assaulting her. The two know each other. Stenulson was charged with second-degree sexual assault, a felony that involves sexual contact with someone not capable of giving consent or who is under the influence of alcohol.

Stenulson was placed on paid administrative leave pending an internal investigation. Spoden said he will receive his accrued vacation and sick pay. If convicted of second-degree sexual assault, Stenulson could be sentenced to up to 40 years in prison, and a $100,000 fine. He is scheduled to appear in court November 30th for an adjourned initial appearance.
