For undisclosed reasons, St. Peter School in Geneva dismisses Principal Roseann Feldmann, who has agreed to stay on until the end of the school year.
St. Peter School will dismiss Principal Roseann Feldmann at the end of the school year. In a March 22 letter to St. Peter School parents, the Rev.

Feldmann agreed to continue at St. Peter School through the end of this academic year, the letter said.

The MoveOn political action group plans a "Tax the Wealthy" event at 10 a.m. Monday at 14th District Congressman Randy Hultgren's Geneva office at 1797 W. State St.
A political action group is planning to picket Monday in Geneva as part of 162 "Fiscal Showdown" events nationwide asking legislators "to vote to raise taxes on the wealthy to fix the deficit." MoveOn.org, one of the largest political action committees in the country, is making a local lobbying effort at 10 a.m. Monday, Dec. 10, at the Geneva office of Republican 14th District Congressman Randy Hultgren. The office is located at 1797 W. State St. "Congress faces a fiscal choice—not a 'cliff'—about whether to end tax cuts for the rich or cut vital programs and delay tax extensions for working and middle class people," the MoveOn.org website says. "The GOP is holding us hostage again, and we could slide back into a recession if they win." …

Great deals, stores full of clever, unique gifts, there are literally chestnuts roasting on open fires, the lighting of the Christmas tree, crowning of Santa Lucia, an attempt at the world's largest candy cane, carolers galore, actual live mannequins in the store window, carriage rides—wow. It's awesome. Then there's the House Tour and Steeple Walk on top of all that. We live in the town that is right out of a storybook.

Reliable sources say Actor Alec Baldwin has been spending the last few days in sleepy, enchanting Geneva, IL.
This just in: Alec Baldwin has spent the last few days in Geneva. He's been spotted at Egg Harbor, Anytime Fitness and The Herrington Inn & Spa, according to sources. We can only wonder whether he stayed in the same Herrington Inn suite as Brian Urlacher and Jenny McCarthy, or whether he stayed overnight at all. Is there a Baldwin family tie in these parts? Was the Thanksgiving holiday the reason for his visit? Or is there some Chicago-area enterprise that brought him to our fair city? Were there any other Alec Baldwin sightings in the past few days? Let us know in the comments field. Apparently, Alec Baldwin gets around these here United States. Here are just a few Patch articles where he's been spotted out and about.

Randy Santel goes into Geneva's Urban Grille on the day before Election Day and consumes 5 pounds of burger in 15 minutes.
Did you stuff yourself on Thanksgiving? Well, don't feel bad. It's comforting to know that anything you might have considered as overindulgence pales before the exploits of one Randy Santel. The St. Louis native recently completed his 122nd eating challenge at Geneva's very own Urban Grille and made short order of one very tall order—the heretofore challenging "Behemouth Burger." Here's the story, as told by the Urban Grille's Jeanette Di Pasquantonio in a Nov. 6 e-mail to Geneva Patch: Last night, a gentleman by the name of Randy Santel came into Urban Grille. He was in town from St. Louis for a job interview in the city. As it turns out, Randy is the proprietor of Atlas & Zeus Promotions, LLC. I received a text from one of my servers …
