GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Packers fans won’t miss out on learning about the team’s history or not get a chance to see Super Bowl trophies next year.

The Hall of Fame is moving from the Lambeau Field Atrium basement to the second floor next year, and will likely be closed for a good year.   

The Neville Public Museum is in talks with the Packers to bring some of the team’s Hall of Fame artifacts, trophies and rings over when the football season is done.

The Neville will feature a rotating display of Hall of Fame items and stories.   

“I think it will have a lot of interest to people, we’ll also have updates or sketches and plans on what our new Hall of Fame will look like," Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy said. 

The museum has Packers displays and exhibits, while also acting as the starting point for the Packers Heritage Trail. 

“The big, big goal here is to not have any unsatisfied or disappointed fans,” Neville Museum Director Rolf Johnson said, “ they come in, see a game and go 'what the Hall of Fame is not open, we wanted to see a Lombardi’; you can come down to the Neville to see one.” 

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The Neville Public Museum will turn 100 in 2015, and museum officials are starting to take a look at its future.

The Neville invited a group of 100 visionaries and successful leaders from the community Tuesday night as they start work on a new master plan, capital campaign and the 2015 celebration. 

Museum Director Rolf Johnson says they have to make major changes in the next five years.

“From what kind of programs are we doing, what are our exhibits like and even if the building is working for us,” Johnson said.

Johnson envisions a new glass front facade. He questions if the museum should continue to be multi-disciplinary by offering art, history and science.

Johnson also wants to change the governance and turn the museum into a non-profit organization. 

“Right now the museum is a department of Brown County, but we have other bosses, the foundation, a governing board,” Johnson says “we need to have one leader and one budget that we can work with moving forward.

A new name for the museum is also being considered.

OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - Police in Oshkosh are investigating a report of a man grabbing a child.

Authorities say the 11-year-old girl got off a city bus in the area of Rosalia Street and Winnebago Avenue just before 4 p.m. Tuesday.

The girl says she was walking in the 1100 block of Winnebago Avenue when she noticed a man following her. She said he came up from behind, grabbed and squeezed her shoulder. She told police she then hit his arm and ran home.

The man then walked back toward Rosalia Street and headed south.

Police checked the area after the girl’s mother reported the incident just after 4 p.m., but did not find anyone. Neighbors in the area said they did not see the man or the incident.

The man was described as being between 40 and 50-years-old, around 5'8" to 6 feet tall, with short dark hair and a dark mustache and goatee. He was wearing dark sunglasses, a gray shirt and black pants. Police said he had a dark complexion and may have been Hispanic.

Anyone with information is asked to call Oshkosh police at (920) 236-5700.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Police in Green Bay are investigating several vandalism incidents over the past few days.

Law enforcement says someone damaged gravestones and statues at Fort Howard Cemetary, located at Velp and Military Avenues over the weekend. Several gravestones were tipped over and statues were smashed or broken. A retaining wall was also damaged.

Meantime, police are investigating cases on the city's west and near-east sides where windows on cars and homes were smashed out with glass marbles. They appear to have been shot with a slingshot or similar device.

It's not clear at this time if the incidents are related.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - The 12th anniversary of the September 11th attacks is being remembered in Green Bay.

Green Bay Metro Fire Division Chief Ann Watzka went to Ground Zero one month after the terror attacks to provide support for firefighters.

"It was just so gray, and there was no distinction of anything," said Watzka. "Anyone who's smelled a wet, smoldering and burning thing for an extended period of time knows it's just an acrid smell."

While she remembers the sights and smells of the rubble, Watzka says the biggest memory is the gratitude.

"It was amazing how many firefighters came up to me, and even if you didn't have significant emotional conversations with them, they would say please go back and tell everybody how much it means just to have you here, just to see you here, and know that we have that support network out there."

She says it's important to remember those who lost their lives and the families it's affected.

Green Bay Metro fire crews led salutes at the times the World Trade Center towers fell at the city's 9-11 Memorial on Wednesday.

Elsewhere, Green Bay mayor Jim Schmitt led city staff and the public in honoring the 12th anniversary of the terrorist attacks in front of City Hall around the flag pole.

The remembrance ceremony was marked with a moment of reflection in honor of the victims and heroes of the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Pennsylvania flight.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Green Bay Police are looking for the last person involved with a group who went on a crime spree in August. 

16-year-old Kevin Sierra-Lopez is a person of interest in a stabbing in early August, a boat burglary, an attempted robbery and attack of two men, followed by another attempted robbery and that left a pizza delivery man severely beaten. 

Captain Todd Thomas says they have identified all others involved and are preparing to recommend charges to the district attorney.

Sierra-Lopez has a history of violence and is considered dangerous.

Thomas says all of Sierra-Lopez associations are in Green Bay so they believe he is still here. 

BLACK CREEK, WI (WTAQ) - A northeast Wisconsin man pleaded guilty Wednesday to a reduced charge, as he admitted helping hackers pull off a cyber attack on Koch Industries. 

37-year-old Eric Rosol of Black Creek faces up to a year in prison when he's sentenced December 2nd. He pleaded guilty in federal court in Kansas to a misdemeanor count of accessing a protected computer. 

Rosol, a truck driver, admitted helping the hacker group "Anonymous" with a massive volume of cyber requests that shut down Koch's Web site for about 15 minutes in early 2011.

The energy company's direct loss from the attack was about $5,000. Koch said it also spent $183,000 on consultants who helped protect its Web sites, after Koch learned the attack was coming. 

Defense lawyer Kurt Kerns says his client should not have to pay a dime for that. He says it's like trying to collect the cost of a safe before it's stolen. 

As part of his plea deal, Rosol forfeited the computer he used in the cyber attack.

TOWN OF BREITUNG, MI (WTAQ) - A memorial to three teenagers killed on the Wisconsin-Michigan border in 2008 was vandalized within the past week. 

The Michigan State Police said a stone memorial was damaged at a railroad bridge in the Dickinson County town of Breitung. Authorities are asking for tips on who might have committed the vandalism.

The memorial recognizes 19-year-old Bryan Mort, 18-year-old Anthony Spigarelli, and 17-year-old Tiffany Pohlson. They were at a swimming hole on the Wisconsin side of the border near Niagara, when former solider Scott Johnson gunned them down in the summer of 2008. 

Johnson, who's now 43, sexually assaulted a woman at the same place the night before the shootings.

He pleaded no contest to 10 felonies, and is serving three life prison terms plus 295 years.  

MARINETTE, WI (WTAQ) - U.S. Navy Secretary Ray Mabus is visiting the Marinette Marine plant Thursday. 

He'll hold a briefing on the Littoral Combat Ships which are now being built. Mabus will also tour the shipyard in Marinette, and speak with employees.  

Marinette has delivered two littoral ships, and four more are on the way. 

Navy officials say the littoral combat ship is a major element for the future of the Navy's entire operations, but the Government Accountability Office recently said the ship may not be able to reach its full potential.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - Appleton police say a Menasha man has been charged with burglary and sexual assault.

Authorities say 28-year-old Scott D. Cross admitted to breaking into a home in the 500 block of East Pacific Street early Sunday morning. He took a video gaming system and personal items belonging to one of the residents.

Cops say Cross went back and began sexually assaulting another resident while she was asleep.

The roommate returned home, confronted Cross, and followed him to the City Park area. Police caught up with Cross near City Park around 1:30 a.m.

Cross is being held in the Outagamie County Jail on a $50,000 bond. He's due back in court Tuesday for a preliminary hearing.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Packers fans heading to Lambeau Field for Sunday's home opener against the Washington Redskins are being reminded that road construction season continues on most major roads in Northeast Wisconsin.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation says the good news for drivers is they should not encounter any significant traffic impacts due to construction. Most work will be suspended and lanes opened on Sunday.

The WisDOT strongly recommends motorists allow themselves additional time to reach their destinations.

Here is a list of the major roads in Northeast Wisconsin most Packers fans will be traveling as they head for the game and the road conditions they should anticipate:

US 41

• Brown County
• Drivers will encounter 11-foot travel lanes and reduced shoulders in multiple locations along a 10-mile segment of highway. The speed limit is reduced to 55 mph from just south of Grant Street to I-43. Temporary barrier walls at various locations will cause traffic to slow.
• Mason Street – Traffic leaving the game: Mason Street traffic seeking US 41 northbound will do so via the US 41 northbound collector/distributor lanes, crossing WIS 29 and entering US 41 northbound via the entrance ramp from WIS 29.

WIS 172

• Brown County  
• Eastbound WIS 172 to northbound US 41 ramp is closed. Eastbound WIS 172 traffic wanting to exit to northbound US 41 will continue east on WIS 172 and take the Oneida Street/Ashland Avenue exit which ends at Vanderperren Way; take Vanderperren Way west to Holmgren Way, follow Holmgren Way north to Pilgrim Way and take Pilgrim Way east to westbound WIS 172 on-ramp to northbound US 41.

I-43

• Brown County  
• The speed limit is reduced to 55 mph on I-43 between Atkinson Drive and US 41.

WIS 29

• Brown County  
• WIS 29 has narrower shoulders due to temporary barrier wall at various locations that will cause traffic to slow.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Earlier this week, it felt like July in Wisconsin. 

By this time Friday, it could feel like October. The extreme heat from Monday and Tuesday was pushed away by a cool air mass that came in from the north, led by a weak cold front which went through the Badger State Wednesday night.  

As a result, it was only 57 degrees at noon in Land O'Lakes, north of Eagle River at the Wisconsin-Michigan border. Janesville was at 79 at mid-day. It was 97 in that city at the same time just two days ago.  

Thursday night, clear skies will cool things down to between the mid-30's and mid-40's in the Badger State. 

As of early afternoon, the National Weather Service did not issue any frost advisories -- but that could be coming soon.

Forecasters say it might not get out of the 60's anywhere in Wisconsin Friday and Saturday. There's a slight chance of rain in eastern areas Thursday afternoon and early evening -- and only a slight chance on Saturday and Sunday.

OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - Authorities in Oshkosh lifted an evacuation order on the city's south side following a chemical spill near Hydrite Chemical.

Hydrite officials say nearly 600 gallons of muriatic acid, a form of hydrochloric acid, spilled at their facility. It was initially reported just before 1 p.m. Friday. 

About 4 p.m., fire crews say the spill was contained and is cleaned up.

The acid spilled from a crack in a tank which holds about 7,000 gallons. Firefighters say a barrier previously set up to contain spills did its job.

An area between W. 28th Avenue on the north, W. Waukau Avenue on the south, Perimeter Road to the west and Bradley Road to the east had to be evacuated. Police asked those south of 28th Avenue to leave that area, while those north of 28th Ave. were asked to stay indoors, close all windows and doors and turn off air conditioning.

Those who were evacuated were asked to go to South Park, where Winnebago County Emergency Management officials set up the park's shelters.

According to police, muriatic acid can burn the respiratory tract if you breathe it in. If you believe you are feeling the effects of acid, move to fresh air. If the symptoms do not stop, seek medical attention immediately.

No injuries have been reported so far. A company spokesperson says, as of 2:45 p.m., no hazardous vapors were detected at the company's downwind fenceline.

An Oshkosh Corp. spokesman says the spill has caused the company to shut down operations at the South, North, West, 20th St. and E-Coat plants. Second shifts have been called off at those plants. The Harrison St. and Oakwood St. plants are still open and are not affected.

OSHKOSH, WI (WTAQ) - An armed robbery in downtown Oshkosh remains under investigation.

Police say a 29-year-old woman was biking in the 100 block of North Main St. when a black man armed with a gun took her purse around 6 p.m. Thursday.

The victim was not hurt.

The suspect is described as being in his mid-20s, 5’8” to 5’9”, with shoulder length tightly curled dread locks. He was last seen wearing a red and orange striped polo shirt, blue jeans and a black hat. The woman also told police the man had a distinguishable, droopy right lower eyelid.

Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Oshkosh Police Department at (920) 236-5700. Anonymous tips can be left with Winnebago County Wide Crime Stoppers by phone at (920) 231-8477, by text-messaging IGOTYA plus the tip to 274637, or online. 

ASHWAUBENON, WI (WTAQ) - Authorities in Ashwaubenon say a pedestrian is improving after being hit by a car Thursday night.

Ashwaubenon Public Safety officials say a vehicle was driving north on Ashland Avenue when the driver struck a man near Cormier Road around 7:30 p.m.

The male victim was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries. A press release Friday afternoon indicates the victim is now in stable condition.

Part of Ashland Avenue was closed for about six hours after the crash. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - It appears the future of a daytime homeless shelter in Green Bay is up in the air.

Jane Jordan with Lutheran Social Services tells FOX 11 that a lease was never signed for a daytime resource center for the homeless in the basement of the Wisconsin Jobs Center building. That building is located on Cherry Street.

Lutheran Social Services has been working with a homeless task force, called Project H.O.P.E., since last December to look at Green Bay's homelessness issue.

The future of a daytime homeless resource center in Green Bay is not as certain as it seemed earlier this week.

Alderman Mark Steuer earlier this week had said that a lease was in place, and the daytime resource center could open in that location by October.

On Monday, Green Bay’s Plan Commission recommended raising the capacity at St. John the Evangelist Homeless Shelter. Committee members said the progress on a daytime shelter was one of the reasons for supporting the increased capacity.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - An incident in Appleton last weekend has triggered another national debate over gun rights. 

Two men openly carried AR-15 rifles and handguns as they headed to a farmer's market.

Police said they briefly detained the two men -- both in their 20's -- and let them go after they determined they were carrying their weapons legally. 

The men's encounter with police has stirred up debate on the Internet, and Wisconsin's pro and anti-gun forces weighed in with remarks to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. 

Nik Clark of the gun rights' group Wisconsin Carry says police need to follow up on gun complaints, but they must abide by people's constitutional rights. Clark said Appleton Police went beyond their authority when they pointed guns at the men and involuntarily detained them. 

Milwaukee Police Chief Ed Flynn disagrees. He said that in a, "post-Aurora-Newtown environment, it's a reckless and irresponsible stunt to strut around in public with an assault-style weapon and think police should assume you're well-intentioned." 

Flynn said the incident was absurd and had nothing to do with Second Amendment gun rights. 

One of the men told the Journal Sentinel it's too early to decide if they'll sue the police. 

Similar arrests have led to at least four lawsuit settlements in Wisconsin, in which taxpayers ended up paying those who were stopped.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - One Green Bay alderman is talking about ideas Wal-Mart shared with him regarding plans for a store in the city's Broadway District.

Alderman David Boyce's district is in downtown Green Bay, including an empty lot on South Broadway, where Wal-Mart is considering building a store.

“It wouldn't have the same aura, or the same appearance,” said Boyce.

Boyce says he has talked with Walmart officials multiple times, including a two-hour meeting this week.

“They showed me a depiction on a laptop,” said Boyce. “There is no hard copy and there is no saying yes I know exactly what they proposed.”

Boyce indicates one part of the plan includes a retention pond at the back of the store with a large parking lot in front. He says based on the presentation from Wal-Mart officials, the thinking is the store would be about two-thirds the size of the west side store.

Boyce also says the store will include a brick theme.

“It wouldn't be a one-level brick, it would be something that would go a little vertical, but they might have a hundred different designs and might pick one out of the hundred to present,” said Boyce.

Boyce says Wal-Mart officials also made it clear that no buildings should block its view from the east.

“You know when you look across the river from downtown, you'd see the full effect of Walmart and the signage,” said Boyce.

Walmart has also been talking with On Broadway Incorporated officials. That group owns the property and promotes the district's businesses.

Boyce says he’d like to hear from the public before making a decision. On Broadway officials say Wal-Mart intends to do that.

After talking with multiple downtown officials, all agree it's premature to say Wal-Mart has a definitive plan at this point.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Green Bay police are investigating an armed robbery late Friday in the downtown area.

Officers say three male suspects, two of them armed with guns, stole money and food a man was carrying with him. It happened near N. Ashland Ave. and Kellogg St. around 11 p.m.

The victim was not hurt.

The suspects ran away and police were unable to locate them using K-9 officers.

They tracked down a juvenile male, who was taken into custody as a person of interest. Police say he is now jailed on charges unrelated to the robbery.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Packers’ linebacker Clay Matthews has been fined $15,000 for a late hit on 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, in last week’s 34-28 loss.

The hit occurred with over 9 minutes to go in the first half, leading to a botched 3rd down call by the referees.

Matthews says he is not worried about the fine and is focused on Sunday’s game against the Washington Redskins, saying, “I’m an awesome player, not a dirty player.”
