MADISON (WITI) -- Emerald ash borer, already known to infest 13 Wisconsin counties, threatens cityscapes and forests with its tree-killing ways. But it's still possible to slow its spread, giving science a chance to find solutions and public and private land owners time to get replacement trees started.

That's why Gov. Walker has proclaimed May 19-25 Emerald Ash Borer Awareness Week – to draw Wisconsin citizens' attention to the role they can play in the battle. This particular week was chosen nationwide because Memorial Day weekend May 25-27 is the beginning of the summer tourism season, when the risk is high for people to inadvertently move EAB and other pests to new areas on firewood.

"…Citizens and visitors alike should understand the potential effects of the EAB on the environment and the economy of Wisconsin, the Great Lakes region and the nation," the Governor said in his proclamation.

MENOMONEE FALLS (WITI) — Prescott Doebler, a junior with down syndrome at Menomonee Falls High School, was surprised to be selected to prom court by his classmates. Saturday night at the prom, he was shocked to be crowned king.

“He knows more people here than some of the teachers here know. You walk down the hall it’s ‘hi Prescott, hi Prescott,’” said teacher Melody Czubinski.

Doebler is a special ed student, and part of Best Buddies, a program that helps build leadership skills as well as friendships.

“I don’t think Prescott realizes how special this is other than he loves to be social,” said Prescott’s mother, Carol Doebler.

He may not have realized how special it was until he was voted Junior Prom King — by a landslide.

MILWAUKEE (WITI) – In Wisconsin, when you sign up to be an organ donor, you are also signing up to donate your tissue. Tissue is everything that’s not a living organ, like skin, veins, heart valves, and tendons.

And while buying and selling human body parts is illegal in the United States, tissue banks and publicly traded companies are making a lot of money on human tissue.

Chris Truitt, who lives just outside of Madison, Wis., is an expert of sorts on the issue. His daughter, Alyssa, died when she was only 2 years-old. Truitt and his wife decided to donate her organs and her tissues.
