Seamstress Vera Stillmank leaves lasting legacy in bridal industry after six decades of service
JANESVILLE — When Jennifer Kapinus was a little girl, she told her grandmother, Vera Stillmank, exactly how she wanted her First Communion dress to look. She wanted puffed sleeves. She wanted lace in a particular place. She had a vision in her head, and Stillmank — a talented seamstress and longtime bridal shop owner — didn’t tell her granddaughter what she thought would look better. She just made it. Then she made a matching dress for Kapinus’ American Girl doll. For generations of women across Southern Wisconsin, Stillmank was much more than “grandma.” She was the woman behind the dress. Stillmank died Sept. 18 at the age of 96. She spent more than six decades helping women find dresses for some of the most important moments of their lives. Along the way, she and her husband, James, built Vera’s House of Bridal, a family business that expanded into Madison and has helped bring dresses from all over the world into Wisconsin. A white colonial style farmhouse on the south side of Janesville is where she and her husband raised their seven kids and began their bridal shop. Currently closed, the building will reopen when renovations are complete. In October of

Evansville soybean crushing plant to feed biofuel industry
Hello, Rock County! Here are your top Friday headlines. Wisconsin immigrant advocacy organization Voces de la Frontera is assigning a network of election observers and community volunteers ahead of the Nov. 3 election, citing concerns that if federal agents or law enforcement are stationed near polling places, it could intimidate voters. Japanese tourists love Edgerton and Wisconsin because of the city and state's ties to the Sterling North-penned children's novel "Rascal," which Japanese people revere because it was adapted into a 1970s anime series. A group has established the "Rascal Trail," a new network of tourist stops curated because of ties to both Rascal, and pieces of Japanese culture embedded in Wisconsin. Stops are in Edgerton, where Sterling North grew up, and in Madison, Milwaukee and Jefferson, among other communities statewide. Do you have a story you'd like the Gazette to follow?
