Roundup.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is asking deer hunters to take a closer look at the trees they choose for their stands this fall.
The agency says hunters should avoid putting stands in or near ash trees as emerald ash borer continues to spread across the state.
The invasive insect has now been confirmed in all 72 Wisconsin counties with infestations expanding quickly across northern Wisconsin.
Ash trees damaged by emerald ash borer can become weak and may snap or drop large
branches.
The DNR says it can also be difficult to tell whether a tree is infested, so hunters are better off choosing another type of tree.
Hunters should also use caution around ash trees while on the ground, especially when it's windy.
The DNR is also reminding hunters to take precautions anytime they use an elevated stand.
Research shows one in four bow hunters has either fallen or nearly fallen while using a tree stand.
Hunters should wear a full body harness and stay connected from the time they leave the ground until they come back
The DNR also recommends keeping three points of contact while climbing and using a haul line to raise and lower an unloaded firearm or bow.
The American Red Cross is looking for blood and platelet donors to help keep the blood supply steady through September.
According to a press release, the Red Cross says donations have helped the supply recover from critically low levels this summer, but more donors are still needed.
They say September can be a tougher month for donations as school and other fall activities pick back up.
Two blood drives are scheduled Wednesday, September 16th in Ashland at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in the American Inn.
A drive will also be held Thursday, September 17th at Trinity Lutheran Church in Spooner.
As an added incentive, anyone who donates through September 20th will get a Red Cross and Hello Kitty plush clip and sticker pack while supplies last.
To schedule an appointment, visit RedCrossBlood.org or call 1-800-RED-CROSS.
The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is asking
to stop work on a temporary Line 5 bypass near the site of last month's Natural Gas Liquids leak in Iron County.
The DNR says Enbridge started work on the bypass without the necessary state approvals after the agency told the company permits would be required.
Enbridge says the roughly 1,500 foot bypass would allow Line 5 to return to service while cleanup and repairs continue near Saxon.
The company has said an unoccupied subcontractor truck rolled into an open excavation on August 20th.
and struck the pipeline, releasing about 1.3 million gallons of natural gas liquids into the atmosphere.
In a letter sent on September 9th, DNR Secretary Karen Hyun asked Enbridge to stop construction of the bypass and prioritize work at the spill site.
The DNR also issued a notice of non-compliance, saying Enbridge does not have the state approvals needed for the bypass work.
In an email to Civic Media, Enbridge spokesperson Julie Kellner said the company is working on the spill site and the bypass at the
same time.
She added that the company will continue to work with the DNR on relevant permitting.
The DNR says it will continue monitoring the site and may consider enforcement action.
Diesel prices have hit $6 a gallon nationwide for the first time.
That's up about $2.30 from a year ago.
It also comes less than a week after diesel hit a record $5.85 a gallon.
Gas Buddy says the impact goes beyond the pump since diesel is heavily used in trucking, farming and construction.
Petroleum analyst Patrick DeHaan says higher diesel costs are likely to put more pressure on prices throughout the supply chain and contribute to inflation.
He says diesel prices could climb even higher, with geopolitical tensions continuing to put pressure on fuel prices at a time of year when diesel typically rises.

A flight home from a Republican dinner in La Crosse ended with Tom Tiffany and his pilot in Lake Wausau after their plane lost power near the Wausau downtown airport.
Authorities say the 911 call came in around 849 Saturday night, and Tiffany says the two got out of the plane as it started to sink.
It's not like they made plans to move to the nearest shore after it went under, and I lost contact with them.
I believe his phone is under water.
They may be swimming south, I believe.
We have two victims in the water.
We're just pulling them out now.
Tiffany
took to a microphone later in the day to explain what happened and talked about the injuries to himself and his hero pilot.
He had four stitches, I believe, in one of his wounds.
That was the extent of his injuries.
I have 12 stitches up in my eyebrow, but other than that, just a few scratches.
We are just really fortunate.
We're really fortunate that God was looking after us

It wasn't the season opener Packer fans had hoped for against Division Rivals Minnesota Vikings.
The pack had a double-digit lead going into halftime with an impressive performance controlling the game from the start.
The second half was a different story though, a scenario all too familiar to Packer fans.
The Vikings scored 29 points in a row, Jordan Love faced back-to-back sacks fumbling on one of them, and a string of penalties led to a 39-22 blowout by the Vikings.
The Packers head to New York next week to take on the jets.
Four police officers are injured and one of our state's largest farmers markets was canceled Saturday after a car drove into a crowd of people over the weekend in Green Bay.
Green Bay police say a fight broke out near a food truck just after two in the morning Saturday.
As officers were investigating, they say a car drove into a crowd of bystanders and police.
One officer fired their gun.
No one was hurt from the gunfire.
Police say four officers needed medical treatment for their injuries.
The officer who fired the gun is now on administrative leave for the department's policy.
Due to the active investigation in downtown Green Bay, city leaders canceled Saturday's farmers market.
The market typically hosts around 150 vendors for Saturday's market.
An athlete is dead after suffering a medical emergency during the Iron Man 70.3 Wisconsin competition in Madison.
Officials said the incident happened during the swimming portion of the event Saturday morning.

The athlete was transported to a hospital where they later died.

The Packers lose to the Vikings.
Hi, I'm Mike Clemens from US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, where the Packers lost 39 to 22.
Green Bay had the lead, then gave up four consecutive touchdowns to the Vikings.
I asked the Packers new linebacker, Zaire Franklin, if he'd ever seen a game flip like that in the fourth quarter.
I mean, I've been through a lot of s*** in this league.
I don't know.
Maybe.
It's just tough.
We got to look back at it and see, you know, what our role was in it, how we could be better on that technique and our fundamentals and not put ourselves in a situation, you know, in these type of games you can't.
put the game in the hands of the rest, right wrong or indifferent.
We just got to, you know, execute and do our job.
Baseball, the Brewers have the night off after losing to the Reds yesterday, four to three.
Reliever, Abner, Uribe, charged with the loss after giving up the go-ahead run.
So our bullpen let us down a little bit.
Uribe wasn't as sharp as normal.
Offensively, we were a little bit snakebitten.
You know, the baseball gods got us a little bit with a couple of those plays, but that's the way it goes.
As Brewers manager Pat Murphy with sports, I'm Mike Clemens.
It is going to be partly to mostly cloudy.

Tonight we'll drop into the 50s with more scattered showers, thunderstorms tomorrow, partly cloudy to mostly cloudy at times with a high in the upper 60s to low 70s.
I'm meteorologist Sean Cable.
