From Dubois County

Hey Reader,

Sorry.

Yes, sorry.

I published a story in a hurry yesterday as I headed out the door, and it wasn't polished; it had errors — grammatical and otherwise. I am sorry.

I fixed it.

Unfortunately, it was the story I did on Mayor Vonderheide.

That's what I get for rushing.

On another note, the Optimist Club of Jasper is celebrating its 50th anniversary this Saturday. Congrats. They are publishing some fun photos on their Facebook page, and we shared some in the story. Check it out.

Also, Jasper Arts is honoring former director Kit Miracle with a display of her work. She passed away recently.

A long time ago, I learned that she was an Amazon reviewer and wrote a brief story about how she got first access to new products and books to review. Amazon would send them to her and she could keep them in exchange for the "official" reviews.

​Here is that story.​

Have a great day.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane

I got this email today in response to yesterday's intro.

Game on Friday? You mean on Saturday when #5 Purdue plays Penn State?

As an Indiana native and Purdue grad, I recently moved back in-state after being gone for 40 years. Everything is backwards. Purdue's football team and Indiana's basketball team are poor, but Purdue's basketball and Indiana's football teams are contending for national championships in the same calendar year.

I will admit being proud of IU's football success, mostly due to the personal quality of Mendosa and Knight-like attutude of Coach Cignetti. Yes, I'm a Knight fan. Knight would be proud of Coach Painter.
