From Dubois County

Well, the forecast was a little off for today, Reader,

That's okay. We are enjoying the sunshine and the continued growth in the wildflower meadow we planted. The little green sprouts are everywhere.

Today, we wrote about a Jasper couple bringing their Colombian recipes to the community. I can't wait to try some of their offerings. They really look amazing.

The best part of the interview was Jen and Franklin's continued gratitude to the community and a desire to introduce everyone to a delicious piece of their culture.

We also wrote about the ongoing discussion on the feasibility of the regional sewer district covering Haysville and Portersville.

Wabash Valley Produce gave an update on their new egg facility in Dubois.

Also, you may want to check out the Holy Trinity Genesians' production of "Alice @Wonderland, The Musical".

From Dubois County with love.

Monday, May 5, 2025 Issue #80 From Dubois County Happy Monday, Reader, The lawn-mowing story seemed to resonate with a couple of readers. I'm glad to hear I'm in good company with others who have set their lawn mowers on fire. News gathering is time-consuming. Today, the commissioners had a three-hour and twenty-minute meeting that I skimmed through looking for stories I felt were important to the public. You'll see one in today's headlines and likely others this week. I also had an hour-long...

Friday, May 2, 2025 Issue #79 Is today's sponsor From Dubois County The new pool in Jasper is expected to open later this month. It looks like it will be a lot of fun. Looking forward to anything this weekend, Reader? I'm really trying to get my yard mowed. I'm caught in this cycle of mowing half the yard. It's like what they say about mullets, "Business in the front, party in the back," but the party keeps moving. It started the other day when I only finished the front and couldn't get to...

Thursday, May 1, 2025 Issue #78 From Dubois County Kate Schwenk attempted to capture a cute reel at the Riverwalk this afternoon with her daughters, Alana and Annie, to promote the Downtown Chowdown that takes place from 4 to 8 p.m. tonight. Hello, Reader, It seems that Abraham Lincoln enjoyed writing poems in his schoolbooks. At least an upcoming auction for a single page from his "sum" book would have us believe that. A sum book is what was used by frontier school children to record their...
