WGBW Friday News Roundup

WGBW News · Fri Dec 12, 2025

Here's your Daily News Roundup from 97.9 WGBW.

From the 97.9 WGBW Newsroom, I'm Connie Falman with this local news update.

The stepmother of a 14-year-old girl found weighing just 35 pounds in her nighta will be in court next week.

Melissa Goodman was recently appointed an attorney, allowing the case to proceed. Her preliminary

hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, December 16. Goodman, along with her husband and adult daughter,

faces three counts of chronic neglect of a child resulting in great bodily harm and two more

neglect charges for emotional damage. Goodman's daughter and her partner Kayla Stemler will be

in court for their preliminary hearings three days after Goodman's. Her husband, the girl's

father Walter Goodman, is set to be in court again in January. The victim's family says the girl

is now staying with relatives on her mother's side and continuing to recover.

One more, Community Christmas Parade is being iced out by the Arctic blast headed our way.

The community of Clintonville has decided to cancel their Christmas Parade schedule for Saturday night.

Clintonville joins numerous communities around northeast Wisconsin forced to cancel their holiday

parades this winter due to unsafe winter weather conditions. And speaking of those winter weather

conditions, get ready for an icy blast of cold headed our way tomorrow.

Forecasters say a bit of light snow tonight will usher in the coldest air of the season so far

into the weekend. Broodly cold temps tomorrow in the single digits could drop to 20 or 30 below zero

with a wind shell. That could lead to our first cold weather advisory tonight into tomorrow.

Keep an eye out for extreme cold warnings from the National Weather Service. So what does that

all mean exactly? Basically, whenever it gets that cold outside, any exposed skin can freeze

in a matter of minutes, causing not only frostbite but life-threatening conditions like hypothermia,

so make sure to dress in layers and cover all exposed skin, including your face with a scarf,

hat, mittens, or gloves anytime you're outside. Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed two people and wounded

a third at a Black Lives Matter protest in Kenosha, is back in the spotlight and sharing photos of

his gun-toting new wife. Rittenhouse was 17 when he drew national attention for the shootings.

He was charged with homicide in Wisconsin, but acquitted in 2021. In his recent social media post,

Rittenhouse announced his marriage, posting a photo of his bride holding an AR-style rifle in her

wedding gown. Along with the photos, Rittenhouse says in the post, I'm back on social media,

I'm back in the fight, and I'm here to stay. We're just two weeks away from Christmas,

which means it's crunch time if you've got gifts to send. USPS says if you want your packages

to get somewhere in the US in time for Christmas, you need to send them by this coming Wednesday,

December 17th. That's five days from now. You can wait another day or two, but you'll end up

paying more for faster delivery service. The Powerball Jackpot will make a pretty sweet

Christmas gift right about now. If you don't typically buy lottery tickets, you might want to make

an exception today. Not only did no one win the Powerball Jackpot last Wednesday,

the full jackpot hasn't been won since early September. That means it's climbed to a billion dollar

jackpot right now. That's the seventh largest jackpot in history. If you win, you'll have the choice

of getting about $34.5 million every year for the next three decades, or you could take the lump

some payment estimated at $461.3 million. The next drawing for the Powerball Jackpot is tomorrow

night 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. A win for the bucks. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with sports NBA. The

bucks with a much-needed victory, 116-101, over the Boston Celtics in five-ser form Milwaukee's

Kyle Kuzma with a season I 31 points. Doc River says the adjustments they worked on in practice this

week leading up to the game work. One of the things we talked to you guys about going into break

was correcting our spacing. I thought we had room tonight. Guys went in the wrong spots. When a

guard drove, he knew where the other guy was at. I thought we played a very organized basketball game

in the back. NFL, the Packers slighted Denver to mild to play the Broncos Sunday afternoon to

325. Denver tied for first place in the AFC with a record of 11 and 2. How has Denver been able to

win so many close games with a young quarterback like Bonix? Nine of the 11 games they'd come back

in the fourth quarter and so I think that obviously deservedly so he gets a ton of credit for that

and then the defense and special teams. I mean it's a really good football team. That's Packers'

head coach Matt LaFour with sports on Mike Clemens. Cloudy today with a little light snow later

this afternoon. It won't be much half inch or less of accumulation. Our height today right

around 21 tonight. Some clouds patchy blowing snow down to five below tomorrow. Sunny and cold

with a high of only one above. I mean, yourologist Sean Cable. That's your Green Bay news round up
