Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 16th of April.
Good morning, Kenosha.
🏘️ Community
Habitat for Humanity of Kenosha will hold its fourth Community Build Week to help local families achieve home ownership — the event will engage local volunteers to build homes and strengthen the community.
This planned effort follows the organization’s ongoing work in housing support.
🎓 Education
At least 790 students at over 120 colleges had their visas taken away in recent weeks, including one Carthage College senior from Spain who left quickly.
Carthage held a quick graduation—where some teachers wore dress clothes and students gathered—and said it will keep helping its international students.
The school district permanently closed and removed the playground behind Frank Elementary School after over 30 years of use because of growing safety concerns.
Local families and teachers raised about $21,000 to help fund a replacement — though there is no set timeline for building a new playground.
🏛️ Government
Three Kenosha Police Department officers — Kyle Toppel, Charles Lyons, and Matthew Lovell — were honored on April 15 for their quick efforts to revive a 59-year-old man who was found unresponsive on the 2600 block of 63rd Street on Feb 15.
The officers used CPR and an AED until paramedics arrived, saving the man's life.
