On September 4, 2006 the Village of Stillman... jdmays jmays@stillmanvalley.us Press Releases The following is the text of a press release issued in connection with a lawsuit filed by the village. The press release itself may be downloaded at the link following the text.

On September 4, 2006 the Village of Stillman Valley filed suit against Ms. Joan Glendenning to initiate eminent domain proceedings for approximately 10 acres of property adjacent to the village limits. The Village of Stillman Valley, as represented by the Board of Trustees and Village President, wish to make it known that this action is being undertaken reluctantly and only as a last resort in order to replace it's aging wastewater treatment plant.

Pressure from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency including the very real possibility of large fines and expensive mandates have left the village with no choice but to pursue this course of action. After several years of exploring alternatives and attempting to negotiate with Ms. Glendenning, the village is compelled to act at this time.

It is the position of The Village of Stillman Valley that a negotiated settlement providing just compensation for Ms. Glendenning is preferable. However, any additional delay in moving forward on this issue neglects the best interests of the residents of the village.

I found this paper in the garage of a home that was to be demolished a few years ago. I know the woman who lived there was very elderly. This was in Palo Alto, CA in 2000. Enjoy the paper, -Rick Hartmann.
Inside was a yellowed 8.5 x 11 document, 18 pages in length; the Stillman Valley High School Newspaper from the class of 1927-1928.

Somehow this newspaper had made it's way back to Stillman Valley after many years away. Now you can see it for yourself and read a few familiar names as well as some that have long since passed from memory.

Stillman Bank has an ad in the paper of course:

Most people probably recognize the building since it still stands today.

If you have a fast connection, you can download the entire student newspaper. Select one of the following links, but be sure that you have a fast internet connection. If you don't, stop by the Village Hall and Anne can show you the paper in person. You can even have a copy to take home with you.

All of the Image Files Zipped into an Archive (6.4 mb)

An Adobe Acrobat file showing all of the newspaper pages - zipped in an archive to make it more manageable to download. (1.8 mb)
