“Kevin Mathewson Sucks”: Opinion
A man named Nicholas R. Mercier recently took to Facebook to leave a thoughtful, intellectual, Pulitzer-worthy comment that simply read: “Kevin Mathewson sucks.” And honestly? He’s probably right — at least from his perspective. If I spent years getting arrested, accused of beating women, driving drunk, violating bond conditions, stealing alcohol, and allegedly dragging a woman out of a moving Jeep hard enough to split her head open and require staples, I probably wouldn’t like the guy writing about me either. That’s kind of how journalism works. There’s a vocal minority in Kenosha that absolutely hates me and Kenosha County Eye. I know that. I accept that. Most normal people understand that when you expose criminals, domestic abusers, drunk drivers, and repeat offenders, those people are probably not going to

Deputies Overwhelmingly Reject Zoerner, Endorse Gonzalez in Stunning Rebuke of Sheriff’s Leadership
KENOSHA, Wis. — In what is being viewed by many inside Kenosha County law enforcement as a devastating rebuke of Sheriff David Zoerner’s first three years in office, the Kenosha County Deputy Sheriff’s Association overwhelmingly endorsed Captain Tony Gonzalez for sheriff following a candidate forum and question-and-answer session. According to information provided to Kenosha County Eye, Zoerner received just one vote from members of his own agency. Independent candidate Gary Roberts, who is widely viewed as having virtually no path to victory, reportedly received two votes. That means nearly the entire rank-and-file membership of the association backed someone other than the sitting sheriff. Zoerner, a Democrat running as a Republican, now appears to be facing a political collapse within his own agency. Meanwhile, both Gonzalez and Kenosha Police Captain James
Beller Lands Unanimous KPPA Endorsement in Sheriff’s Race
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha Police Captain James Beller has secured the unanimous endorsement of the Kenosha Professional Police Association Board of Directors, giving his sheriff campaign another major boost as he seeks to unseat Sheriff David Zoerner. According to the campaign, KPPA President Rusten Sheskey informed Beller that the board voted unanimously to back him for sheriff. The endorsement comes from the association representing the Kenosha Police Department, one of the largest municipal law enforcement agencies in Wisconsin. The endorsement is significant because it reflects support from rank-and-file officers and police leadership in the county’s largest city. Beller has repeatedly emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong working relationship between the Kenosha Police Department and the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office, particularly on major investigations, emergency response, and countywide public safety

Kenosha Dumps Diluted Wastewater Into Lake Michigan Again After More Heavy Rain
KENOSHA, Wis. — Just days after city officials reported a sewer bypass near 89th Street and 17th Avenue, the Kenosha Water Utility says it was forced to divert diluted wastewater into Lake Michigan again following additional heavy rainfall.

Gender Madness at KUSD – Our Kids Are Being Indoctrinated: Opinion
“It’s not a tumor!” — Arnold Schwarzenegger, Kindergarten Cop (1990) That line is famous. But here’s the one that matters for this column: “Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina.” — Kindergarten Cop (1990) The Kenosha Unified School District disagrees. And that tells you everything you need to know about where KUSD has gone. One Name on the Staff Directory Go to the Indian Trail High School staff directory. It is arranged alphabetically. There are 154 names beginning with “Ms.” or “Mr.” Then, right at the top of the list, there is one that stands alone. Not “Ms. Anderson.” Not “Mr. Anderson.” Just: Anderson. Like Seal, Prince, or even McLovin. This is a woman. She dresses like a man, wears her hair short, and by all appearances wishes

Historic Kenosha County Courthouse Courtroom Restoration Nears Completion
KENOSHA, Wis. — The restoration of the historic Ceremonial Courtroom inside the Kenosha County Courthouse is moving closer to completion, with crews continuing work to return the space to its original 1925 appearance. Workers from Michigan-based Historic Surfaces LLC are restoring decorative finishes and architectural details that had been covered up for more than 50 years. The project is expected to be completed by the end of June. The effort has been funded through more than $1.35 million in private donations, along with a $675,000 grant from the Jeffris Family Foundation and a $100,000 matching grant from the TAWANI Foundation. Once complete, the courtroom will once again function as a working courtroom, but it is also expected to be used for weddings, adoptions and other community events. The Kenosha County
KUSD Warns Seniors About Squirt Guns Despite Recent Real Gun Incidents in Schools
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha Unified School District sent a letter to families Friday warning parents about the popular “Senior Assassins” game and reminding them that students could face discipline or police involvement for bringing squirt guns or other toy weapons to school. The district’s warning, which came just weeks after multiple real gun incidents in KUSD schools, is already drawing criticism from some parents who say the district appears more focused on water guns than actual weapons. In the letter sent Friday, KUSD said some seniors participate in an unofficial game called “Senior Assassins,” where students use water guns in a tag-style competition outside of school hours. The district warned that students have sometimes used paintball guns or airsoft rifles and said those items can resemble real firearms and create

Kenosha Diverts Diluted Wastewater Into Lake Michigan After Heavy Rain Overwhelms Sewer System
KENOSHA, Wis. — Heavy rain earlier this week overwhelmed part of Kenosha’s sanitary sewer system, forcing the Kenosha Water Utility to divert diluted wastewater into the storm sewer system and ultimately into Lake Michigan in an effort to prevent damage to homes. According to the utility, the bypass occurred between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. Wednesday near the intersection of 89th Street and 17th Avenue after the city received 2.78 inches of rain over a 48-hour period. Officials said the ground was already saturated from earlier April rain events, leading to excessive flow in the sewer collection system. The Kenosha Water Utility said the discharge consisted of diluted wastewater and was necessary to avoid backups and potential property damage inside homes. Sewer bypasses like this can happen when heavy rain
Woke Gateway Presidential Finalist Drops Out as Board Scrutiny Intensifies
KENOSHA, Wis. — One of Gateway Technical College’s most controversial presidential finalists has withdrawn from consideration just days after concerns surfaced about the ideological direction of the search and the judgment of the board overseeing it. Gateway announced this week that Hudson County Community College President Christopher Reber is no longer seeking the position. According to the college, Reber told Gateway officials he had accepted another university presidency after negotiations elsewhere recently concluded. That leaves three finalists remaining in Gateway’s search for a permanent president: Caron Daugherty, president of Flint Hills Technical College; Phillip King, executive vice president and provost at Milwaukee Area Technical College; and Veronique Tran, vice provost at Dallas College. Reber had quickly become one of the more controversial names in the search because of his public
KUSD Highlights Liberal Activist Teacher Who Tried to Silence Discussion About Fired Coach Accused of Grooming Behavior
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha Unified School District is facing criticism after publicly spotlighting Bradford High School teacher Jennifer Sepanski, a liberal activist who previously campaigned for KUSD’s failed tax referendum and admitted she “shut down” student discussion about former basketball coach Montenia Nelson, who was later fired after repeated student-boundary violations and a police investigation into possible grooming behavior. Earlier this week, KUSD featured Sepanski in its “Employee Spotlight” series, praising her for “building strong relationships” with students, promoting “student voice,” attending student events outside the classroom, and serving in multiple leadership roles, including the district’s Guiding Coalition Committee, the Poetry Club, the Gender & Sexuality Alliance Club, and Bradford’s English Department. The district described Sepanski as someone who helps students feel “seen, heard and supported.” But records previously obtained
KUSD Details How Students Will Enter Schools Once Metal Detectors Are Installed
KENOSHA, Wis. — Kenosha Unified School District officials are giving students and families a much clearer picture of what daily life will look like once metal detectors are installed at the district’s six high schools. District leaders say the new screening systems are expected to become part of the daily routine at Bradford, Tremper, Indian Trail, LakeView, Harborside/Reuther and Hillcrest. Officials say the goal is to improve safety while keeping students moving into school buildings as quickly as possible. Superintendent Dr. Jeff Weiss said the district plans to use portable walk-through weapon detection systems at all high schools as part of an expanded effort to improve student and staff safety. Weiss said the systems are similar to the types of security devices people already encounter at concerts, sporting events and
