Bob Hiller, Janesville's longtime purveyor of baked goodies, dies


A man who spent most of his life satisfying local sweet teeth has died.
Bob Hiller ran the Rollin Pin Bakery in Janesville for 41 years, closing the business in 1999.
Hiller died Saturday at age 92. He hadn’t baked for nearly a year, family members told The Gazette in February, saying Hiller’s heart problems made it impossible to continue.
Bob and his wife, Sandy, had sold cream puffs and other sweets at fairs for years, and they continued doing that after retirement, according to Gazette records.
Sandy died in 2007. Bob kept on baking. In recent years, he cut back to selling cookies five times a year on the weekends before Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Fourth of July and Valentine’s Day.

Gazette wins sixth consecutive Newspaper of the Year award


JANESVILLE
The Gazette on Friday was named overall Newspaper of the Year by the Wisconsin Newspaper Association for the sixth consecutive year.
It is the top award among all daily newspapers in the state.
The Gazette previously won nine consecutive Newspaper of the Year awards in its circulation category. The Gazette won that award again Friday, too.
The Newspaper of the Year prize was based on 31 news awards and 24 advertising awards received by the newspaper and its staff.
“We are humbled by this award,” said Orestes Baez, Gazette publisher and regional president of APG Southern Wisconsin Group. “Our congratulations goes out to all the content creators, composers, paginators, production team members, account executives, delivery drivers—everyone who touches or helps our products in any way, this one’s for you.

Janesville's iconic Rollin Pin Bakery rolls to a close


JANESVILLE
Years ago, on one of Bob Hiller’s days off, a friend pulled a prank using Hiller’s well-known Rollin Pin Bakery mobile food truck.
In a good-natured ruse, the friend stuck a “Now Open” sign on the street corner next to the food truck, which was parked outside Hiller’s home on Janesville’s east side.
Hiller hadn’t made any baked goods, and Rollin Pin was not open for business that day. But the joke fooled so many of Rollin Pin’s fans that within minutes, a queue of about 50 cars had lined up along the street.
