Good morning, Kenosha.

DeBerge's in Kenosha is celebrating its 135th anniversary as it has grown from a paint store into a custom framing shop run by sisters Kim and Barb DeBerge who have served local customers for generations.

The business works with local artists & preserves its historic charm in its original building on 63rd St.

A 35-year-old Kenosha woman was charged with a misdemeanor OWI 3rd offense on Wednesday after crashing her black Chevy Impala into two parked vehicles on 34th Avenue and fleeing the scene—prosecutors say the charge will likely become a felony if she is convicted in a pending case, with a $2,500 bail set and a preliminary hearing scheduled for August 1.

Kamryn Gant, 18, of Kenosha was scheduled to appear in adult court Wednesday afternoon for allegedly bringing a knife to school earlier this year but he failed to show up—prompting a court commissioner to issue a warrant for his arrest.

A collection of photos shows Kenosha’s long history in car making with images that tell the story of the local auto industry—each picture marks a key moment in how car production helped shape the community.

The feature gives a clear look at a legacy that continues to influence life in the area.

The Kenosha School Board approved no-cost and low-cost school security enhancements Tuesday night following an incident at Roosevelt Elementary last year.

The measures include locking classroom doors at all times—inspecting classrooms for safe areas—and a $22,000 annual contract to monitor online chatter while the board seeks alternative funding for secure entrances at seven schools.

A county emergency readiness assessment criticized the leadership of then-Sheriff David Beth, then-County Executive Jim Kreuser, and then-Mayor John Antaramian for leaving Kenosha unprepared during the violent riots that followed the police shooting of Jacob Blake in 2020.

The Jensen Hughes report found that middle managers salvaged the response after delayed Incident Action Plans and poor communication—prompting calls for better future emergency measures.

Kenosha County is defending three lawsuits that arose from the unrest following the 2020 shooting of Jacob Blake, and attorney Sam Hall said the county plans to file a motion for summary judgement by March 2026—though extensive discovery delays may push the deadline further.
