The patient count of people infected with the Cyclospora parasite may be slowing, but the CDC has added three additional states for a total of 20 in the Taylor Farms Cyclospora outbreak map.
Here's Civic Media's Melissa Kay.
According to the Federal Center for Disease Control and the Food and Drug Administration, the number of Cyclosporiasis cases linked to recalled Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce is over 11,400.
495 people have been hospitalized and two people have died.
The two deaths happened in Michigan, where the state count of cases is much higher.
Over 14,000 illnesses have been reported in Michigan, with 356 reported hospitalizations.
The reason for the varying case numbers of cyclosporiasis are due to multiple clusters of infections.
The total number of laboratory-confirmed cases by the CDC is over 17,000 from at least six additional clusters of outbreaks.
No sources have been confirmed for the other six clusters and an additional 11,000 cases require further investigation.
Delaware and Hawaii are the only states not currently reporting cyclospora cases.
In Wisconsin, 284 illnesses have been reported as of August 26th, with eight people requiring hospitalization.
As students start to head back to school this week, the Ashland Police Department is reminding parents to be careful about what they share in first-day photos.
Police say those pictures can reveal more information than parents may realize, especially when kids are holding signs with details about themselves.
Parents are encouraged to leave out the name of their child's school, teacher grade, or classroom.
They also recommend checking the background for school logos, signs, or anything else that could give away a child's location.
Parents should also be mindful of other children-
who may appear in the photo and whether their families are comfortable with them being posted online.

Cumberland police say flock license plate cameras were used to track down a suspect in a recent armed robbery.

Flot cameras were used to track down the suspect who was later arrested in Eau Claire County.

Applications are due October 1st and selected projects could start in December.

Drivers traveling along Wisconsin through the holiday weekend may see more state patrol enforcement, including patrols from the air, in seven counties.
Weather permitting, state patrol pilots will watch highways in Monroe, Eau Claire, Iowa, Chippewa, out of Gamy, and Washington counties through Labor Day.

State patrols say the goal is to prevent crashes and encourage safe driving.
And that's your state news update.

The Brewers went on to win 9-4 over the Cubs.
Christian Yelich from the dugout after the victory.
Yeah, you know, they're a really good team.
They got a great offense.
And, you know, on days like today where the wind's blowing out, you can never score enough runs.
So we knew, even though we were up, we have to keep adding on and keep trying to create some distance there.
And, you know, the guys kept having a really good up pass.
We were able to kind of stretch the lead out a little bit and big win for us.
So the series tied a one game apiece.
