Family of four receives first Rock County Habitat for Humanity house since 2015

JANESVILLE — Miguel and Jessica Gardner Rodriguez waited a year after applying for a Habitat for Humanity house before finally getting to experience the thrill of ownership. In the span of about an hour, they signed the papers to buy the house — and then Habitat for Humanity handed over the keys. “This would be the first time we get to actually make a place our home,” Jessica said. “We’re always worried about how rent goes up, something happens. We just haven’t really been able to make a place. I’m so excited.” The house is on Janesville’s south side. Miguel had a tough time explaining the long wait to get to the house, combined with being able to close on the house and being able to pick up the keys the same afternoon. “It was a smooth transition … So it wasn’t pressure. It was warmth and welcome to go through the process,” Miguel said. Jessica is a former EMS dispatcher-turned high school social studies teacher. Miguel has a bachelors degree in health education and is looking into massage therapy as a career. Miguel is a stay-at-home dad for the time being. While at a party one day, Jessica’s aunt

College football: No. 2 UW-Whitewater hopes to stick the landing on undefeated regular season this weekend at UW-Eau Claire

EAU CLAIRE — The UW-Whitewater football team has already put together a season to remember in 2026. The Warhawks (9-0, 6-0 WIAC) took down UW- Platteville last weekend on the road, leapfrogging the Pioneers in the rankings to be No. 2 in all of Division 3 football while also clinching a share of the 2026 WIAC regular season championship. This Saturday marks the final game of the 2026 regular season for UWW, and the Warhawks could check the box on numerous other accomplishments with a victory on the road at UW-Eau Claire (6-3, 3-3 WIAC). First and most notably, the Warhawks, with a win or a Platteville loss to UW-La Crosse, would capture the outright WIAC title. Additionally, UW-Whitewater would finish the regular season with an undefeated record with a win over the Blugolds. The last time either of those things happened for the Warhawks was in 2021. The Warhawks are also gunning for a top seed for the NCAA Division 3 playoffs, something that could help ensure home field advantage for UW-Whitewater up until the Stagg Bowl. While it’s easy to get wrapped up in the superlatives of a potential Warhawk victory on Saturday, UWW will still have to

The Most Romantic Steakhouse In Wisconsin Is Tucked Away Where You’d Least Expect

A dining room that started life as an 1861 hotel now serves A5 Miyazaki Wagyu and blue cheese-crusted filets. That combo alone made me sit up and start checking my calendar. The Greek Revival building was once the largest public building in its tiny town. A still-active railway line runs right across the street, which feels almost too charming to be real on a date night.

Boys soccer: 11 area players recognized in RVC all-conference voting

Six Whitewater players and five from Jefferson were honored in Rock Valley boys soccer all-conference voting held recently. Whitewater senior midfielder Wesley Baker, senior defender Aaron Garcia and senior utility player Frank Mbifi were first-team selections. Baker scored seven goals and added three assists. Garcia and Mbifi were not prominent goal scorers, although Mbifi did score one goal, but they were key cogs on the backline, helping the Whippets hold eight of their opponents to one goal or fewer. Whitewater junior forward Derick Martinez, Jefferson senior forward Noah Skoug, senior defender Braxton Walhovd and junior midfielder Ryder Brusk were second-team honorees. Martinez scored a team-leading 12 goals and added three assists. Skoug had seven goals and two assists. Walhovd made two assists and was instrumental on the backline.

Boys basketball: Parker picked to finish seventh, Craig ninth in the Big Eight

The 2026-27 boys basketball season is right around the corner, and the upcoming season is already shaping up to be a wide open year, especially for the Big Eight Conference. Janesville Parker was ultimately picked to finish seventh while Janesville Craig was picked to finish ninth this season by Bound Wisconsin in their preseason conference preview series. Bound Wisconsin boys basketball staff writer Colton Wilson is reaching the conclusion of his preseason series of conference previews for the state of Wisconsin. Each preview includes projected 2026-27 standings, a sleeper team to watch out for, top players to watch as well as conference break out candidates. Parker enters its 2026-27 season with a senior-loaded team, something that will be a huge plus and advantage for the Vikings in an already difficult conference. Javonte Johnson, who was labeled as a player to watch by the outlet heading into the season, is one of the several returners primed to make a jump up this year. The Vikings faced some tough sledding last season, finishing 4-21 (1-17 Big Eight) and last place in the league. However, their returning senior talent and particularly Javonte Johnson’s 14.6 points/game and 7.9 rebounds/game have Parker poised to leap

WIAA Football preview: Lake Mills tussles with West Salem for spot in state championship game

LAKE MILLS — If the L-Cats’ defense continues to make plays, there will be plenty of reasons to continue flashing the double thumbs-down sign. That sign, taken from the film Gladiator, has been a rallying cry for Lake Mills’ football team, which faces West Salem in a WIAA Division 4 Level 4 game on Friday at 7 p.m. at Stoughton High School for the right to play at Camp Randall Stadium in the state finals. “We’ve been doing the thumbs down gesture since week three against Lakeside,” senior wide receiver and linebacker Blake Bohlman said. “Coach Tyler Huber pulls up a movie clip every week and it’s kind of a theme we roll with. We watched the scene where a thumbs up and he lets them live and thumbs down, he finishes them. It’s a reminder to not get complacent.” Defensive end and tight end JP Brzowski, another one of the team’s 14 seniors, said the thumbs-down sign is about showing no mercy. “It’s been our mentality,” Brzowski said. “We never want to let them have any hope.” To reach their first-ever Level 4 game in the modern era — and second state semifinal in school history (1987) — the

Norovirus closes Consolidated Elementary doors until at least Nov. 16

JANESVILLE — The Milton School District closed one of its elementary schools for the rest of the week because of a norovirus outbreak. Norovirus is more commonly known as the stomach flu. Late Wednesday, the district announced the closure of Consolidated Elementary because “more than 35%” of its student population had been sickened by norovirus. The District decided on this course of action after consultation with District Nurse Melissa Forrett and the Rock County Health Department. No other schools have been affected yet, according to the district. The district plans to open the school Monday. Superintendent Jeremy Bilhorn said that at the start of Wednesday, there were 30 students who were absent from the illness. Throughout the day, that number continued to climb as more students were sickened with the norovirus and were sent home. Bilhorn could not confirm the exact total at the end of the school day. “We noticed the numbers rose pretty high today,” Bilhorn said. The district will monitor reported absences at other schools and any ahead of Monday at Consolidated. “The idea is to take in account student safety, and best practice and guidance from our county health department,” Bilhorn said. Consolidated Elementary, the district’s

Girls basketball: Local teams pop up in Bound Wisconsin Preseason Top 10s

Bound Wisconsin officially released its Preseason Top 10 rankings and honorable mentions for all five divisions, and several area high schools were amongst those recognized by the outlet. Edgerton, Janesville Craig and Milton were each mentioned for their respective divisions. The Crimson Tide were the only team to actually crack the outlet’s top 10 with the Tiders coming in at No. 8 in the Division 3 rankings. Craig and Milton were both listed as honorable mentions in their preseason rankings for Division 1 and Division 2, respectively. Edgerton is a year removed from one of the best girls basketball seasons in school history in which the Crimson Tide won a total of 25 games and reached the WIAA Sectional Finals. While Edgerton lost the scoring production of Gracee Langer and Marti Rebman, the Tide bring back Claudia Jenny, Jolia Schlag and Brooke Kahl, setting the stage for the team to potentially run it back this winter. Tuesday, November 17 marks the season-opener for the Crimson Tide as Edgerton is set to play host to Fall River at 7:00 p.m. The Cougars are another team that has brought back a wealth of experience with Craig losing virtually zero production to graduation.

Janesville teachers' union not thrilled with pay arrangement, seeks district revamp of wage schedule

JANESVILLE — The Janesville School District’s teachers union is not thrilled with the wage agreement it has reached with the district the last few years, and the union is now calling the district to resume substantive talks on a new compensation schedule. The message comes via a public statement the Janesville Education Association released this week following the Janesville School Board approving a certified staff wage increase for union members of 2.63% — a “cost of living” increase in the coming budget year. The pact came out of the lack of a formal agreement between the two sides after three bargaining sessions. JEA President Laura Mattison said that for some teachers, that equates to a cost-of-living increase that leaves them with a salary that’s less than what they earned last year if they factor in the increase they’re also paying for health care costs. Some district employees, like Mattison, a foreign languages teacher with 21 years of educational service, find themselves working second jobs to make extra money — all while working more hours with larger classroom loads and a growing load of professional development responsibilities. “Three negotiation rounds and they didn’t bring a different offer to any of the

Rock County aims to ease nursing home subsidies by opening Rock Haven to residents outside county

JANESVILLE – Natalie Rolling-Edlebeck acknowledges that opening up Rock Haven to out-of-county nursing home residents could come at a cost, but she's not yet sure how much. Rolling-Edlebeck's reason behind a shift to accepting out-of-county and even out-of-state residents is to try to create maximum use Rock Haven's 120 beds. Right now, the nursing unit can staff for 112 beds, a formula based on available nurses and the needs of patients now at Rock Haven. But a low tide in residents creates a capacity and staffing cycle that limits the amount Rock Haven can get reimbursed for residents, how many nurses it can hire, and how it can offset operating costs — all factors that drive a subsidy that the county said in its last budget wound up being $750,000. That's down from Rock Haven being more than $2 million underwater in recent past years, in part because Medicaid reimbursements have increased in Wisconsin. But officials argue the ceiling for Rock Haven, which is county run, is low because of how it operates. Rock Haven is one of 10 skilled-care nursing homes in Rock County, but of those 10, Rock Haven is the only one that does not allow out-of-county

Rock County District Attorney's office launches court case database in statewide transparency initiative

JANESVILLE — The Rock County District Attorney’s office is now part of a statewide project to give the public data on court cases, a move that’s aimed at boosting transparency. District Attorney Jason Sanders introduced a new database Thursday that he believes serves transparency for the public. The database operates within the bounds of strict rules around prosecutors publicizing individual court cases before resolution. He also pointed out that balancing transparency with the privacy of victims can be difficult as well. “For example, I should not and will not, tell anyone that a particular case did not go to trial on the most severe charge because the victim begged us to resolve it so they did not have to testify and relive their trauma in open court,” he said. He said that’s where the data dashboard comes in handy because it allows information to be released about the number of cases, types of cases, and outcomes of cases within Rock County. He said this will help not only the public, but the county, learn about how cases are handled. “We want to use every tool available to us, including taking a comprehensive look at what the numbers show, to reach
