Ember and Iron brings men's clothing back to Janesville's downtown

JANESVILLE — Ember & 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 left behind by the fire were Ember & Iron. Manor decided to take the two elements, as words, Ember & Iron, as a concept, a statement of renewal — of what she’s doing now. And what Manor’s doing is a pretty bold 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 otherwise nearly absent in Janesville’s downtown. Ember & Iron is on the street level at 319 W. Milwaukee St. in a space that once housed the former Monterey Hotel lobby and restaurant. The building’s upper six floors now house apartments.

Rock County content creator is bringing back the joy of waiting for the mail with her Midwest Mail Club

JANESVILLE — Today's world is as fast-paced as it's ever been. Nearly everything people want or need is just a few clicks away. But one Rock County content creator is hoping to bring back the excitement of checking the mail. Not email, but the kind that shows up in a box near the road. Morgan Geyer has built an online following through her creative projects and nostalgic content. She recently launched a monthly mail club that delivers a collection of vintage-inspired items, recipes, newspaper clippings and other surprises directly to subscribers. “I feel like people, especially right now, are just itching for nostalgia,” Geyer said. “I feel like people are just missing the physical aspect of things.” Geyer began creating content about four years ago after the COVID-19 pandemic prompted her to stay home with her young children. A longtime creative, she began sharing videos of the crafts and projects she was working on. As people began responding to her content, the hobby gradually developed into a career. Although she shares a variety of projects online, Geyer said nostalgia has become the focus of her content over the past two years. The idea for the Midwest Mail Club came from

Milton focusing on connectivity, safety in new parks plan

MILTON — In its new five-year outdoor recreation plan, the City of Milton is prioritizing connectivity, accessibility, safety and repairs. The proposed plan will be reviewed by the city’s Plan Commission and Common Council this Wednesday for approval. City Administrator Paul Hensch said the plan is crucial because it not only provides a roadmap for future park investments, but it helps the city prioritize limited funding and makes it eligible for state and federal grants. “Connectivity was one of the strongest themes we heard from residents,” Hensch said. “People want to be able to move more easily between their neighborhoods, parks, schools and other destinations.” The city hopes to preserve attractive areas for eventual park or recreational purposes, provide parks within walking distance of all new residential areas, emphasize family-oriented facilities within the parks, coordinate with area partners to provide services to residents via parks when possible and encourage expansion of county parks and recreational facilities in the Milton area. The work started in 2024 through public meetings and surveys, which were incorporated into the plan proposal. City staff also evaluated parks and had discussions with the Parks and Recreation Commission. As part of safety, accessibility and repairs, the city

WIAA Football: L-Cats earn historic first Level 4 spot by downing Delavan-Darien, 35-7

LAKE MILLS — Lake Mills head coach Tyler Huber called his seniors forward from a line of gleeful players. After receiving the sectional championship plaque from athletic director Justin Annen, Huber immediately passed it to the star-studded Class of 2027, which erupted in celebration and was soon mobbed by their fellow teammates and the student section. Finally, after so much recent playoff heartbreak, Lake Mills is Level-4 bound for the first time ever. Senior quarterback Tyler Wollin threw five touchdowns as the top-seeded Lake Mills football team knocked off third-seeded Delavan-Darien 35-7 in a WIAA Division 4 Level 3 game on Friday at L-Cat Stadium. “Me and the rest of the seniors have been talking about being able to walk off this field for the last time having won but also being undefeated our senior year at home (7-0), which is really special,” Wollin said. “Coach Huber talks all the time that you either have memories or regret. “When you work in the offseason, you’re either going to be working toward memories or you’re not going to be working and you’ll have regrets when this is all over. Right now we’re making memories, which is the coolest part.” The L-Cats
