Bring Google Fiber To Kenosha
Kenosha Community Media, the City of Kenosha, and the County of Kenosha worked together to send an invitation to Google to bring its ultra-high speed fiber to Kenosha. Over one thousand other cities are also vying for Google's test of fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) networks. Google will be reviewing responses in the months ahead to determine where to set-up its trial networks. It will announce its target community/communities by the end of 2010.

THANK YOU
Southport Press Thanks The Boys & Girls Club
The Boys & Girls Club of Kenosha recently welcomed Southport Press' Joshua Frazer and John Hambrock to provide a class in the art of cartooning to its students.
 In his presentation, Frazer commented that cartooning is a lot like filmmaking, except the cartoonist is able to choose which frames are important enough to carry the story. Frazer is a recent graduate of UW-Parkside's arts program. Hambrock is a nationally-syndicated cartoonist.
The Boys & Girls Club has invited them to return this year for a cartooning course to its 5th-7th grade students.
The Boys & Girls Club students have also participated in video production training through Kenosha TV.
In the month of May, Kevin Poirier of Kenosha News will lead a two-part photography course for these youth.
