Milton School District seeks Wall of Honor nominations
MILTON — Nominations are open for the Milton School District’s 2027 Wall of Honor. The Wall of Honor, which is in the high school commons, recognizes former students, alumni, staff and community members with close ties to the district who distinguished themselves through academic, artistic or athletic achievement. Milton School District Superintendent Jeremy Bilhorn and Milton School Communications and Safety Coordinator Kari Klebba co-chair a steering committee. From there, nominations forwarded to a nine-person selection committee made up of district staff, community members and alumni. “We want to celebrate those that have upgraded the culture and the foundations of the district that we love,” Bilhorn said. Nomination forms are at milton.k12.wi.us/WallOfHonor . Nominations are due Jan. 31 either online or in person at the high school. Selections will be made in March and announced in April. Honorees will be celebrated in a ceremony the Thursday of homecoming week and then presented at the homecoming football game. “It keeps going because there’s a lot of really good people. I always put the plug there’s a lot of good people. We need to have them nominated. I always tell people I can’t send them to the selection committee if they’re nominated,” Bilhorn

Ember and Iron brings men's clothing back to Janesville's downtown
Ember and Iron has a poetic catharsis to it, even if the casual observer doesn't know the secret behind the new downtown retail store's name. Claudine Manor named her new independent clothing store a year ago; it simply took her a year to find the new location. Manor had previously operated Savannah and Pearl boutique in Edgerton at the former Lake House Inn supper club, which was destroyed in a fire Oct. 1, 2025. The Lake House fire prompted Manor to reconsider what she wants to do. The two elements that fire left were ember and iron. Manor decided to take the two elements, as words, Ember and Iron, as a concept, a statement renewal — of what she's doing now. And what Manor's doing is a pretty brave thing in downtown retail. She's designed and built out a storefront retail store with half the floor dedicated to new men's fashion – a retail offering which otherwise is next to none of in Janesville's downtown. Ember and Iron is on the street level at 319 W. Milwaukee St., in space that once housed the former Monterey Hotel lobby and restaurant. The building's upper six floors now house apartments.
