Thursday, October 2, 2025 Issue #175 From Dubois County TJ Block, a scout with Troop 182, gazes at the Stars and Stripes after completing the flag ceremony before the Distinguished Citizen Award dinner. Hey Reader, The best class I ever sat through was taught by an EOD instructor in the Navy. EOD stands for Explosive Ordinance Disposal. I was riveted by this guy's ability to command a room as he taught about disposing of explosive ordnance. I don't know why this came to mind today. Except I...

Wednesday, October 1, 2025 Issue #175 From Dubois County A picture of the Dubois County Free Press mascot, Cora, living her best life. What's shakin', Reader, Our dog either absolutely loves you or is completely apathetic to you. There is no in between. And she doesn't really interact with any other dogs. She also doesn't bark at anyone unless she is at our home. There, she selectively protects her fiefdom with barks at passing walkers. I say selectively because it appears to be applied...

Tuesday, September 30, 2025 Issue #174 From Dubois County Hey Reader, There is a trail that runs along the Red River in the gorge where we went for our getaway these past few days. As we were returning from a long hike along the trail back to our car, we saw a large group of young men climbing a rock across the river from us. Fortunately, the trail provided a clear view of their antics and a few well-placed roots as a bench to watch from. After a few moments of sitting there watching them...

Monday, September 29, 2025 Issue #174 From Dubois County One of the beautiful vistas available in Red River Gorge. Hey Reader, I had a few folks reach out about the image I shared last week.

If you are unfamiliar with Red River Gorge, look it up, and I would recommend planning a visit.

Tuesday, March 4, 2025 Issue #37 From Dubois County Maple Grove Church. Hey Reader, Operating the Dubois County Free Press has been interesting when it comes to taking a break. Stuff never stops happening around here, so we don't ever really stop. I've written stories and conducted interviews from recliners in Florida or cabin porches in Kentucky. This week is our anniversary, so Amy and I have scheduled some downtime. You'll still get the newsletter, but probably not a lot of intro material....
