MILTON — Wednesday marked National Signing Day for most high school athletes around the country, and amongst those signing the dotted line was Milton standout Kade Wieland. Wieland, the top-ranked golfer for the state of Wisconsin’s Class of 2027, has been verbally committed to the University of Wisconsin since last fall. Wednesday finally allowed the senior to officially sign on as a member of the Badger recruiting class for the 2027-28 season, marking one year to the day since Wieland had verbally committed to the Badgers. “We are beyond excited to welcome Kade to the Badger family,” Mike Wilson, head coach of the Wisconsin men’s golf team said on Wednesday. “Kade is one of the best junior golfers that the state of Wisconsin has ever produced, and one of the top juniors in the country. We cannot wait for him to showcase his talents with us next year, and we look forward to watching him grow as a Badger.” Wieland is a multi-time Wisconsin State Player of the Year by both the Wisconsin PGA and Golf Coaches Association of Wisconsin. As a junior the Milton Red Hawk finished as the WIAA Division 1 State Runner Up individually, and the year

Children's Museum open delayed while parts for elevator, exhibit remain on hold

JANESVILLE — The highly anticipated opening of the WonderVault children’s museum in downtown Janesville will be delayed one month, Executive Director Kent Anderson said. Anderson said earlier this year that the opening was slated in November. However, the museum continues to wait for a needed elevator part, and installation of an exhibit is also being delayed. The WonderVault is now set to open sometime in December. Anderson said the museum hopes to have a grand opening date soon. The museum is no stranger to waiting. Its journey began in 2008 but, opening the 100 W. Milwaukee St. site stalled during the Great Recession. Community efforts regained momentum in the 2010s through a traveling “Museum on Wheels” program before the COVID-19 pandemic slowed progress once again. In 2022, organizers launched a capital campaign that ultimately raised about $14.5 million to construct the permanent museum. Rather than replicating exhibits found in larger children’s museums across the country, designers built the museum around experiences familiar to children growing up in Rock County. Designers from Memphis, Tenn., visited local farms, conducted community focus groups and developed exhibits centered on three themes: the Rock River, innovative manufacturing and precision agriculture. Those themes appear throughout the

4 Seasons Mini Golf, an indoor mini-golf course, opens at Uptown Janesville mall

JANESVILLE — Just outside the Kohl's store at Uptown Janesville mall, you can putt a neon-colored golf ball down a road a tortoise and hare racing, then across a glowing, frozen lake, and then over a slippery, glasslike section of carpet an animatronic dragon has "melted" with his flaming breath. It's all from the mind of Dalton Knueppel, owner and developer of 4 Seasons Mini Golf, a new indoor mini golf course that opened this month at Uptown Janesville. Knueppel's imagination was captivated and molded by his grandfather's buildout of a small mini golf course years ago. He'd always wanted to build one himself. Knueppel, a structural steel foreman who builds towers and stadiums, has never built a mini golf course; he simply likes them and he's got a disarming business model when it comes to putt-putt golf: "I have kids. I wanted to bring some entertainment and happiness to Janesville. We need a little bit of entertainment around here," Knueppel said. Knueppel said he scouted out several retail and commercial buildings seeking space, but he said it was "very difficult" to find a tenant interested in leasing for a a not-yet-designed mini golf course.

4 Seasons Mini Golf indoor course opens at Uptown Janesville mall

JANESVILLE — Just outside the Kohl’s store at Uptown Janesville mall, you’ll find a tortoise and a hare. You’ll find a glowing frozen lake. And you’ll find an animatronic dragon “melting” a glasslike section of carpet with his flaming breath. It’s your job to putt a neon-colored golf ball through all those obstacles en route to breaking par. It’s all from the mind of Dalton Knueppel, owner and developer of 4 Seasons Mini Golf, a new indoor mini golf course that opened this month at Uptown Janesville. Knueppel’s imagination was captivated and molded by his grandfather’s buildout of a small mini golf course years ago. He’d always wanted to build one himself. Knueppel is a structural steel foreman who is used to building towers and stadiums. He’s not nearly as experienced in designing a mini golf course; he simply likes them and he’s got a disarming business model when it comes to putt-putt golf. “I have kids. I wanted to bring some entertainment and happiness to Janesville. We need a little bit of entertainment around here,” Knueppel said.
