From the 97.9 WGBW Newsroom, I'm Connie Feldman with this local news update.
Green Bay Packers leave Pittsburgh with the win for the first time since Bart Starr was
quarterback in 1970. The pack came out on top of the 35.25 score over the Steelers and
former Packers QB, Aaron Rogers. Micah Parsons achieved his personal goal to sack Rogers
who got sacked two more times by Roshan Gary. Next up for the pack, hosting the Carolina
Panthers at Lambo this Sunday. The Thames may have gotten cold enough to freeze plants,
but the Wisconsin Department of Health Services wants you to keep protecting yourself against
mosquito bites. The advice comes after the State Department of Agriculture, Trade and
Consumer Protection reported a horse in Marathon County tested positive for Eastern,
equine and cephalitis virus or EE. This means there are mosquitoes still present in Wisconsin
that can spread the virus and possibly other illnesses to people and animals. EE is fatal
in most horses showing signs of illness. The virus can be transmitted to people and
animals through an infected mosquito bite. DHS urges people, especially those who spend
time working or playing outdoors, to continue to take steps throughout the fall season to reduce
their exposure to mosquitoes. No one was hurt, but Green Bay Police confirm a shooting
did happen yesterday afternoon on the city's west side. Please say the shooting happened just
before noon near the 1700 block of Western Avenue. Witnesses say the gunshots were fired
between a car and a person on foot, both allegedly fled the scene. If you have any information,
please are asking you to contact them, use the tip line or call crime stoppers. One person is
dead after water tank exploded early Saturday morning in Door County. A carburet fire officials say
flushing water lines to winterize harbor village resort and campground caused a 3,000 gallon
water tank to explode. Around 7.45 a.m. investigators found a body outside a storage building that was
partially destroyed by the explosion. Authorities have not released any information about the person who
died. Later the same morning, Winnebago County shares deputies found a man's body floating near a boat
launch on Lake Winnebago. Authorities say they got a call about some suspicious items, possibly
clothing floating in the water, just offshore Saturday morning. Deputies launched their boat and
confirmed the reported items in clothing were actually the body of a man. He was pronounced dead at
the scene. Authorities are not releasing the man's name, pending family notification. Green Bay police
collected a record nearly 300 pounds of unwanted medications during Saturday's drug take back day
this weekend. Police say officers took in about 275 pounds of unused and expired medications
between three separate drop off sites. While Saturday was a one-time event to celebrate drug
take back day, police want to remind you that you can dispose of old unused medications any week
day in the lobby of the Green Bay police department between 7 a.m. and 5.30 p.m. With news at the top
and bottom of the hour all day and on demand anytime at wgbw.fm, I'm Connie Filman, 97.9 wgbw news.
It's the Bucks in the Next. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports NBA, the Bucks host of New York
Knicks. Milwaukee coming off a disappointing loss in Cleveland, 118 to 113 to fall a 2-in-1
Bucks Center Miles Turner. You know, being new to this group, you know, my key messaging to
everybody was like, you got to look forward to playing from behind, you know, this NBA stuff's
going to happen. At times you're going to find yourself in unfortunate positions, but I just think
it's very important that, you know, we want to be, you know, a playoff caliber team,
we're a champs together team, we got to, you know, really embrace, you know, be it down, and I think
we did a good job of that in that third quarter. And, um, yeah, you know, there's no excuses to
this league, you know, there's no matter who's out there, you know, we all lay some up and try to go
to think of people. Baseball, game four of the World Series tonight in Los Angeles, the Dodgers
leading the series to games to one over the Blue Jays after winning last night, six to five,
the game went past midnight. The Dodgers Freddie Freeman with a walkoff home run in the bottom of
the 18th inning to win the game was sports on Mike Clemens. You know, it's going to be partly cloudy
today. Our high rate around 55 this afternoon, the wind southeast at five to 15 tonight. Partly cloudy
will drop to 42 for an overnight load tomorrow, plenty of sunshine with a high in the low to mid fifties.
