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 Connie Falman with this local news update. Green Bay Nation is flying high as the Packers pull off another win at home after a quick turnaround against the Washington commanders. The two teams are major contenders for the NFC title.
Washington's last win over the Packers at Lambo was back in 1986.
Preliminary enrollment data for schools in the UW System now rebranded as the universities of Wisconsin is out. It shows that enrollment across public universities has largely held steady.
UW Stevens Point, UW Whitewater and UW Milwaukee led the way in increased enrollments. But enrollment at UW Green Bay did tick up by a few hundred to about 11,500 this fall.
UW Ashkosh though reported a decline of about 500 students. The Fox City's campus closed at the end of the spring semester because of declining enrollment.
The owner of a downtown Green Bay bar is asking Brown County courts to overturn the city's decision not to renew his liquor license.
In a petition filed earlier this month, Stage 1 bar owner Alexander Graziano alleges the city council's decision was unfair and the non-renewal a product of bias.
Graziano who is self-representing is seeking a jury trial on the matter. Wisconsin lawmakers are considering their own security in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Savannah Tomay Olsen has more Kirk was shot and killed from 200 yards away during a speech in Utah on Wednesday.
And months ago Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were gunned down in their home while another state rep in his wife for shot.
Assembly Minority Leader Democrat Greta Newbauer says security decisions are in the hands of Republicans.
Assembly Speaker Robin Voss says he's open to lawmakers using funding for their offices to increase security at their homes.
I am very confident in the police force that we have inside the Capitol. If you look at the incidents that have occurred, frankly when you look at Minnesota, it was in their homes.
If you look at what happened yesterday with Charlie Kirk, it was in a public venue on a campus.
So the idea that we're somehow going to fortify a single building to make people feel safer when the reality is that most of the violence that has occurred has not been inside a government building.
It's been outside or at people's home. One of the things we have talked about is the possibility of people having using their office account for security at their home.
You know, if they want to do that, I'm open to that idea.
I'm Savannah Tomay Olsen.

It's the Brewers and the Cardinals. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports baseball. The Brewers back home and open a weekend series tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Milwaukee trying to snap a three game losing streak after being swept by the Rangers in Texas. The crew had the night off.
So some of the players, including Bryce Tarang, Sal Freelik and Caleb Durbin were at the Packers game. It was a good one.
Green Bay beat the commanders, 27 to 18, quarterback Jordan Love on winning two games in four days.
To start the season off, 2-0 against two really good teams, you know, big playoff teams last year. It feels good.
So couldn't have, you know, started the season off on a better note. So it's one thing that we just got to keep building on. But it feels great right now.
A setback for Packers wide receiver, Jaden Reed, who suffered a broken collarbone. He's expected to be out eight weeks.
College football tomorrow, the Badgers at Alabama kickoff 11 a.m. The last time Wisconsin beat the Crimson Tide was November of 1928.
Final score 15 to nothing with sports on Mike Clemens.
On your entertainment beat, I'm Pete Schwabba. As I mentioned yesterday, Downton Abbey, the grand finale, opens this weekend and is getting good reviews.
And Stephen King's first novel, The Long Walk, has been turned into a film that opens this weekend as well and is pulling a ridiculously high 95% on Rotten Tomatoes.
Not too shabby for a horror film. Another big film opening in wide release is Demon Slayer Infinity Castle, an action fantasy anime film about a boy who joins an organization to track down demons who avenge his sister's transformation into a demon.
The film is the final of a trilogy and reviewing incredibly well. If none of these flicks tickles your fancy, check out a couple of cool re-releases.
The original toy story is back for a theatrical run in semi-wide release and is considered close to a perfect movie.
The much older, the sound of music returns for a limited re-release as well. So many great films, so little time, so let's go to the movies.
Daniel DeLouis says he would have kept his mouth shut instead of announcing in 2017 that he was retiring from the movie business.
During an interview with Rolling Stone, DeLouis dismissed his 2017 announcement, the three-time Oscar winner said about his retirement, that it just seems like such grandiose gibberish.
DeLouis added that he never intended to hang it up for good and says he just wanted to focus on other work at the time.
His three best actor awards for the films There Will Be Blood, My Left Foot, and Lincoln are a record for a male actor.
The 68-year-old Louis said he never stopped loving the actual work, just guessing that the Irishman would be a real challenge to direct, even if you're his son Ronan, who is responsible for convincing DeLouis dead out of retirement so he could appear in his film, Anemone.
A story that explores the complexity of relationships between fathers and sons. Daniel also wrote the script with Ronan, you can check out the work of this father-son duo very soon, Anemone will be released October 10th.
Flow's grits are no longer kissable.
Polly Holiday, who played Waitress Flow in the 1970s hit show Alice, has passed away.
Flow, telling a diner customer to kiss my grits, was commonplace on the CBS sitcom that ran from 1976 to 1985 and made her iconic.
Holiday was the last surviving member of the cast, which included Linda Lavin, who was Alice, Beth Holland, who played Vera, and Vick Teback, who played Mel, and was, well, awesome.
Polly Holiday died from complications from pneumonia, she was 88 years old.
If you're hoping to see Bad Bunny in concert in America, you might be out of luck.
The Puerto Rican rapper says he did not include tour dates for the USA for fear of ice raids.
The 31-year-old artist, whose real name is Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, says he loves America and performing here,
but is concerned that those who attend his show would be at risk if ice showed up outside the venue.
Bad Bunny sounds like a good dude.
From our show, it's fun, tune in to Nightlight, with me, Peach Waba, weeknights from 6-8pm on the Civic Media, Radio Network.
