Police: Some similiarities between suspicious vehicle, attempted child abductionSeptember 02, 2010For about an hour every Monday through Friday, children fill the sidewalks hauling their book bags to and from the public schools in Genoa City.
But an attempted child abduction in Hebron, Ill., and a suspicious vehicle complaint in the village prompted the Genoa City Police Department to issue a reminder of how important it is to be wary of strangers.
"I don't want to cause people to panic, but parents should at least know we had an incident that shows some similarities to the one that happened in Illinois," Genoa City Police Chief Ralph "Homer" Bauman said Tuesday. |

benefit Aug. 1July 29, 2010Genoa City — The night of Thursday, July 8, is one Joelle Duros likely won’t forget.That night, she was out in Lake Geneva with Ryan Keller, a 24-year-old Genoa City man and good family friend. “I went home and, early Friday morning, my brother called me,” Duros said. “I heard that Ryan was driving home from downtown Lake Geneva late Thursday night and he hit a telephone pole. It was a bad accident. They took him by Flight For Life because he was really bad, in critical condition. Actually, we weren’t sure if he was going to make it.”
A smaller village of BloomfieldTaking another stab at incorporationJuly 22, 2010Bloomfield — A couple of years ago, the town residents who wanted to turn part of their community into a village started big.

So, incorporation proponents took out about 3 square miles.

What little would occur wouldn’t happen until a few years from now.
