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.
There was no Packers home game at Lambo yesterday, but the stands were still a buzz of activity.
Green Bay honored America's Fallen Fire Heroes with the 9-11 Memorial Steer Climate Lambo.
Twenty-four years ago, hundreds of heroes climbed the World Trade Center and never returned.
Over the weekend, people in Green Bay completed the climb. Those brave heroes began on September 11, 2001.
Each year, people are invited to Lambo to climb 110 stories, the height of the Twin Towers. All proceeds go to the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
A former Green Bay school board member was charged with two felonies last week for allegedly getting elected to the board while not being a resident of the district.
Kyle Lee resigned last May after a Green Bay press Gazette story appeared to provide evidence Lee might not live in the school district then or when he campaigned and won his board seat in spring of 2024.
State law requires a school board candidate to be a resident of the school district for at least 28 consecutive days before filing their declaration of candidacy.
If you'd like to see Jimmy Kimmel back on the air now's your chance to have your voice heard.

The fall agricultural tourism season is underway and farmers are asking lawmakers to consider to tourism related measures next month. Terry Barr explains.
One proposal would allow farmers to again host up to three paying campers without a license.
Lawmakers asked the rule in 2017 supporters say it's needed now for extra income.
This would allow farms to allow people to put a tent up in a pasture and experience stargazing still overnight in the pasture and have rustic camping or bring in a self contained trailer and park that on the farm.
When they're overnight for farm stays pick up the eggs in the morning have a farm breakfast.
Sheila Everhart is with the Wisconsin Agricultural Tourism Association. She says they'll also be pushing for an exemption from act 73.
This newer law reclassifies wedding barns as public spaces allowing just six events every year and requiring a liquor license.
Lawmakers are expected to take action on both measures in October with news at the top and bottom of the hour all day and on demand any time at WGBW dot FM.

The Packers make roster moves. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports NFL wide receiver McColl Hardman won three Super Bowls when he's with the Kansas City Chiefs.
But at age 27 he told me the NFL means not for long.
Whoever they drive then who would they bring in that you know that's their decisions but as far as on my end or any other receiving I would do is come in and work hard and make plays and you know whatever happened.
The Packers cut Hardman from the practice squad last night and replaced him with Jacobi Keene James an undrafted rookie receiver out of UMass with 437 speed who didn't make the cut in the Detroit Lions training camp.
Baseball the Brewers playing the Padres today in San Diego trying to avoid the sweep last night they lost seven and nothing after new starter Bruce Zimmerman gave up a grand slam in the first inning.
Fans probably don't watch it the same way I do but he gave up an 87 mile an hour ground ball that had seen eyes and got through the infield and then he gave up a home run that's a home run and only one park and baseball.
That's Brewers manager Pat Murphy with sports on Mike Clemens.
Making movies seems like a pretty good gig believe it or not there are people who whine and moan about it according to wrestler turned actor David Batista.
He told GQ he is getting older and more choosy about projects and says quote I want to work with people I just love and respect because I love this business.
I love filmmaking and the art and if people don't want to be there I don't want to be there with them.
This was obviously before reviews for his new film Afterburn came out.
If you're looking for something to rant that you might have forgotten about or never got around to seeing check out a film that's climbing the HBO charts.
2011's The Citter is more or less a remake of the Elizabeth shoe 80's comedy Adventures in Baby City.
I'll be at a more foul mouth than Ranchie one.
Jonah Hill and Sam Rockwell star in the film that critics say might be worth a revisit.
If you're wondering why it was forgotten about it could be because it received a 22% on rotten tomatoes but it does have Sam Rockwell.
It's worth checking out as sometimes history is kind to comedies.
While that was fast Jimmy Kimmel is back.
ABC announced Monday that Jimmy Kimmel live will return with his first day back on the air being Tuesday September 23rd.
Turns out being suspended for an indefinite amount of time meant about a week.
Disney faced protests from viewers and fans of the company which included celebrities Martin Short and Tom Hanks who have created very successful characters for the mouse house.
They teamed with the American Civil Liberties Union according to Variety.
The ACLU called the move to suspend Jimmy a blow to free speech.
Disney CEO Bob Eiger said bringing back Jimmy Kimmel live was in the best interest of Disney and ABC.
As of this writing, drama manufacturers, NextR and Sinclair Broadcasting, owners of many of the ABC affiliates say they won't air Kimmel's return so the struggle continues.
Sometimes it's not as fun to watch big movies at home as it can be in the theater.
That's not going to stop people from checking out the latest superhero film to drop on the streamers.
Fantastic four first steps is now available on various platforms to stream which gives people like me lots of options of how it works.
But for those of you who are huge MCU fans, check out this pretty well reviewed flick now in your living room as of yesterday.
Mariska Hargote has played Olivia Benson for over 25 years on law and order SUV, but it was almost a much shorter run.
She was nearly let go after season three due to an incident involving alcohol.
It's not what you think.
Hargote says she had a few glasses of wine with her hair stylist and requested a pixie cut.
What she thought was a really cool cop haircut almost got her fired from the show.
It's a good thing she didn't go with the custard nut.
Google it. It's funny.
