Volleyball: Eagles' Fetherston repeats as RVC-Valley Division Player of the Year

Jefferson senior outside hitter Ella Fetherston captured the Rock Valley Conference-Valley Division Player of the Year award for the second straight season in voting held recently. Fetherston totaled 402 kills on the season, good for 4.1 per set, with a .259 hitting percentage. She also registered 190 digs, 36 aces and 12 total blocks. “Ella is an incredible player,” Jefferson volleyball coach Heather Curley said. “As a six-rotation outside hitter, she was our go to in big moments and someone we could consistently count on. “She finished her career with over 1,000 kills, set a school record and led the conference in both kills and hitting percentage. Her ability to impact the game in every rotation and deliver when our team needed her most is what made her so special. She deserved both first team and Player of the Year.” Curley garnered Coach of the Year honors for the second straight season. Fetherston was one of the three players from the outright league champion Eagles to garner first-team accolades in back-to-back seasons, joining senior setter Finley Sikora and senior middle Olivia Stelse. Sikora put up 756 assists, totaling 7.4 per set. She also recorded 236 digs (averaging 2.3 per set),

Girls basketball preview: Crimson Tide set to roll out new-look squad

EDGERTON — While the Edgerton Crimson Tide lost several key seniors, two of whom were multi-year starters and are set to play Division III college basketball, head coach Chris Jenny still has plenty of returning players to be excited about this season. Claudia Jenny, a senior point guard who’s gained attention from college programs, headlines the returning talent. Jenny is coming off a season in which she averaged 12.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 steals per game. She also was named to the All-Rock Valley-Rock First Team. “Anytime you can start with a four-year starter at point guard and two-time all-state player, you’re in a pretty good starting spot,” Coach Jenny said. In previous seasons, Jenny could get the ball down low to Gracee Langer or find sharp shooter Marti Rebman on the perimeter. Langer took her talents to UW-Whitewater and Rebman will be suiting up for Edgewood College. The senior duo combined for about 27 points a night last season and played integral roles in Edgerton’s 25 wins in 2025-26. Without their scoring prowess, Coach Jenny feels his daughter Claudia will play a different role this season as she looks to create more of her own shots.

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 Haven may provide care to non-Rock County residents

JANESVILLE — Rock Haven may open its beds to non-Rock County residents. Rock County’s Health Services Committee will see a resolution Wednesday to allow Rock Haven to accept out-of-Rock County referrals and residents into its care. Right now, Rock Haven is only open to residents of the county. Rock Haven is a Rock County-owned nursing home. If the committee OKs the resolution, it still needs approval from the full County Board, which could come as soon as Thursday. If ultimately approved by the board, it is unknown when Rock Haven would be opened up to non-Rock County residents. The county would need to establish, through an official policy, whether to allow residents from throughout Wisconsin and parts of Illinois, or just the counties immediately surrounding its current home turf. Rock Haven administrator Natalie Rolling-Edlebeck told The Gazette the nursing home receives referrals from outside Rock County “all the time.” There are 2-3 referrals from other counties on a daily basis. Many come from Dane and Green counties, with some from Walworth County. In the first week of November, there was even a referral out of Tennessee. “That’s potential revenue coming if we can meet the needs,” Rolling-Edlebeck said. While it

DORA had a successful 6 months of operation

JANESVILLE —As the warm season begins to shift to a chillier time, board members of Janesville’s downtown Business Improvement District say that the downtown’s Designated Outdoor Refreshment area, or DORA, was successful. The BID looks to submit the outdoor cocktail pilot program it started this year for consideration as a permanent ordinance. This May, the City Council unanimously approved an ordinance that established the boundaries of the DORA, where people would be permitted to drink alcohol outdoors along downtown sidewalks. The only change made in the BID’s updated ordinance proposal was to the operational hours of the DORA, crimping its hours from 10 a.m.-10 p.m. 7 days a week, to noon-10 p.m. every day. The DORA boundaries, according to a map provided by the organizers, encompass most of the central downtown area, also known as downtown’s entertainment district. The map shows highlighted streets that would be part of the DORA area, including North and South Main streets; East and West Milwaukee streets; parts of North Franklin and South Jackson streets; and blocks of West Court and River streets along the riverfront. The DORA also encompasses the town square where the farmers market and other public events are held. At Tuesday

Uptown Janesville lands winter market through new management agreement

JANESVILLE — The Uptown Janesville mall lost its winter market when the Janesville Farmers Market opted this fall to move its over-winter spot to the downtown YMCA — but a new group is working to cultivate a new market at Uptown Janesville. Local nonprofit group Faire Market Institute, a cottage industry led by manager Alicia Klos, is operating The Janesville Mall Holiday Market at Uptown Janesville, the official name for the mall’s new winter market. The Uptown Janesville Holiday Market kicks off Saturday, Nov. 14. It’s specifically scheduled this year on weekends that are opposite the Janesville Farmers Market’s downtown market at the YMCA. “We didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes. We wanted to go opposite their weekends,” Klos said. The Janesville Farmers Market had operated out of the mall for the last several years, but the group this year signed a contract to lease space for its winter market at the former Janesville Boys & Girls Club space at the YMCA off West Court Street. This year, Klos took over volunteer management of Milton’s Community Day Market. That’s a Friday night vendor and food market held on Milton’s east side once a month. Klos said many farmers market

Baseball: Matt Buhrow set to lead Edgerton's baseball team as new head coach

Since 1963, Edgerton High School has had just two baseball coaches lead the team each spring. That’s about to get bumped up to three. Matt Buhrow was hired in August as Edgerton’s new head baseball coach. Buhrow had just gotten home from a trip with his wife — he visited the Detroit Tigers’, Cincinnati Reds’ and Pittsburgh Pirates’ ballparks — when Edgerton athletic director Justin Fowlkes informed him he’d be the team’s new coach. Buhrow graduated from Edgerton and played under Mike Gregory, who retired from coaching baseball this past season after 45 years. Buhrow played four years of college baseball and coached at Carroll University, Ripon College, UW-Platteville and Concordia University (Mich.). After all those stops, Gregory asked Buhrow to join Edgerton’s coaching staff ahead of the 2021 season. Buhrow said it’s exciting to be able to take the reins and continue the tradition that Edgerton baseball is. “There’s really no words to describe taking over a program after Coach Gregory,” Buhrow said. “Playing for him, we had a ton of success. To follow in those footsteps, it’s going to be difficult.” Gregory took over as the Crimson Tide’s varsity baseball coach in 1989. Ron Greene held the position

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.

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
