This is your WGBW Daily News Roundup for the talk of Green Bay, 97.9 FM and 50.90 AM.
From the 97.9 WGBW Newsroom, I'm Terry Barr with this local news update.
If you're a packer or brewers, season ticket holder, there's a new consumer alert and you want to check your account to be sure your tickets haven't been stolen.
Officials with the State Department of Egg Trade and Consumer Protection say sports fans across Wisconsin are reporting their season tickets have been transferred out of their accounts by scammers.
It's not known how many fans may be impacted and officials say this type of theft isn't common, so again, check your ticket account.
We continue to track updates on the 24 cases of measles reported in O'Conto County and now the state has a new way for you to keep up with the numbers.
Joanne Croulette explains.
The Wisconsin Department of Health Services has launched a new dashboard aimed at keeping residents informed on the spread of measles cases in the state.
The dashboard will be updated on Tuesdays and Fridays to include a current total case count overall vaccination rates and if there are any measles related deaths, the dashboard can be located on the agency's outbreaks and investigations webpage.
And while vaccines can be a good defense in trying to keep your kids healthy now that everybody's back to school, Dr. Casey Fry Miller says there's something else your kids can do, wash their hands.
Using soap and water and a quality amount of time, we talk about singing the ABCs really goes a long way to getting all the dirt and grime and the viruses and bacteria that can kind of be harbored on our hands and frequently after using the bathroom.
Remind your kids to cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze to stop the spread of germs in the classroom.
A state panel reviewing David Bence's claim for more than $2 million after his conviction for the 1987 murder of Sandra Lyson is overturned.
There is no decision at this time.
There's a similar claim by his brother Robert Bence that also has not been decided.
The Bences were convicted back in 2000 for Lyson's murder. DNA testing of another suspect William Hendrix led to their convictions being overturned last year.
Meantime within the last year, a new program added an alert specifically for missing kids and we now know it's helped save children in our area.
Melissa K has all the numbers.
The Wisconsin Department of Justice is raising awareness on Wisconsin's missing child alerts for a little over a year now they have expanded options to alert the public to missing children.
This is different from an amber alert which requires that the missing child be in danger of serious bodily harm or death.
Since the first missing child alert was sent in August of 2024, a total of 17 alerts were issued for 14 children.
During the same time frame, four amber alerts were issued for five children.
And a unique piece of Packers merchandise is for sale and it's just in time for Thursday night football and what's being called the Winter Warning at Lambo Field.
The pro shop has white cheeseheads, no yellow, especially made for this game.
Green Bay will be wearing its white out uniforms and matching white helmets when they play Washington in the prime time match up.
The search for a school superintendent in Green Bay, what will be the third in five years, is slated to get underway next month.
The Green Bay school board approved a new firm to lead the search at their meeting last night, reports the press gazette.
CISA 7 will lead the search. They're expected to cost less than $15,000.
They also gave some updates on school constructions that are made possible by a referendum last year.
More than half of referendum dollars have been bid or contracted.
Construction on Washington middle school is mostly complete and star elementary is starting to take shape.
The West Side School was renamed earlier this year for Bart and Cherry Star.
If you're in the city of Green Bay, start rounding up your trash now.
Next week is one of the city's quarterly overflow collection weeks.
That means in addition to what's in your cart, you can also put up to four garbage bags of trash on the curb for free collection.
That doesn't include appliances, electronics or construction trash.
The Harlem Globetrotters are returning 100. They're coming to Green Bay in December, the start of their Centennial season tour.
They announced their stops yesterday. They'll be at the Resh Center December 30th.
And if you live in Depeer, Friday is the deadline to have a tree planted by the city outside your home.
Chances are good. It'll be planted if there's space in your parkway and there are no obstructions.
You can have your pick of Gladiator Crab Apple or Triumph Elm or State Street Maple or some other kinds of trees.
They're expected to be planted at the end of October.

The Badgers head for Bama. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports, college football.
The Wisconsin Badgers have a road game Saturday against number 19th ranked Alabama kick off 11 a.m.
So how do the players feel about taking on the Crimson tide? Badgers head coach Luke fickle.
There's nothing more that you want to do as a competitor than being the biggest games and the biggest competition out there.
And to go to Alabama to play in front of that crowd, to go down there to play in the SEC country.
I think that there's not a guy within our program that isn't saying that's one of the reasons why they're here.
NFL a short week for the Packers. They host the Commanders Thursday night.
Packers wide receiver Jaden Reed dealing with a stress fracture in his left foot.
I asked how he was doing after Sunday's game against the Lions.
Oh, it feels great to win.
I'm definitely hurting a little bit, but you know, they got we got some time to recover.
Put my foot in some ice and I'll feel better.
Baseball, the Brewers and the Rangers tonight in Texas, walkie-loosing last night, five to nothing with sports on Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Peach Waba.
Last week, I said that summer blockbuster season at the theaters was officially over.
It appears that no one told the conjuring last rights.
Pregnosticators estimated that the film would pull in roughly 80 million worldwide.
The film opened in first place this past weekend, surpassing the predicted amount in the US alone with 83 million and pulled in 187 million worldwide.
Good for the third largest opening ever domestically or globally for a horror film.
For Warner Brothers, this was their eighth number one opening of the year and the seventh film in 2025 that has opened with a take of more than 40 million.
Something no studio has ever achieved according to Deadline.
Hamilton opened and limited release and came in second place with 10 million and it was more horror as Warner Brothers' weapons came in third place and now has raked in 143 million in five weeks.
Freaky or Friday and caught stealing finished in fourth and fifth place respectively.
If you're looking for a documentary that will make your life look pretty boring, check out aka Charlie Sheen, a new doc that drops on Netflix this week.
The inside look is a two-parter that explores his three marriages, movie career where his credits include Platoon, Wall Street and Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the hit sitcom Two and a Half Men.
The 60-year-old Sheen also talks about his various addictions, mental health breakdown in 2011 where he claims to have had tiger blood and is firing from two and a half men for drug use.
And Sheen is well aware that any time you self-promote with a new movie or book, you do need spicy new material.
The actor is now saying he has also had sex with lots of men and it all started when he was smoking crack.
I tip my hat to the producers who somehow managed to cram all that into just two parts, aka Charlie Sheen drops September 10th on Netflix.
Video killed the radio star but it's also responsible for an award show called The Video Music Awards.
2025's Big Event took place Sunday night, the night's big video star winners were Lady Gaga who brought home four VMAs including artists of the year and Ariana Grande who brought home three awards.
And won the prestigious Video of the year award for her song brighter days ahead.
Ozzy Osborne who passed away earlier this year at the age of 76 was honored with a performance by Aerosmith and two guys I've never heard of but I'm sure they're very talented.
Sabrina Carpenter also took home three awards and Bruno Mars was a two-time winner where I carry performed a special medley and Ricky Martin won the Video Vanguard award.
The good news is if you missed the broadcast that means you didn't have to watch it.
Getting aside, if you're interested, check out the highlights for the VMAs online.
For more show of his fun, tune into Nightlight with me, Peach Waba, weeknights from 6 to 8 p.m. on the Civic Media Radio Network.
