by Kathy Tretter and Diane Hoppenjans For many years it has been the dream of Ferdinand Tourism Commission members — the philanthropic body behind Christkindlmarkt — to add a Christmas Pyramid to the Main Street vista in Ferdinand. “A what?” you might ask. A Christmas Pyramid, known in Germany where they originated as Weihnachtspyramide, is…

Attendees milled around the atrium in Jasper’s Thyen-Clark Cultural Center last Thursday night, noshing on hors d oeuvres, sipping select beverages and chatting with their cohorts from Dubois County’s business and government sectors, and while this was a pleasure it was a pleasure witha purpose — the purpose being Dubois Strong’s annual meeting.

“I was born in Schilling’s Saloon.” So says Joe Helming. Don’t know Joe? He is the owner of Helming Bros. in Jasper. The company’s tag line is “When Craftsmanship Matters,” and truer words were never spoken (or written, as the case may be). Helming Bros. restores the old to the original — not as in…

The Schnitz is well-known statewide (and for that matter throughout the tri-state and beyond) as the purveyor of fine dining, specializing in German fare. So how did…

Following a study, Midwestern Engineering was hired to design something to fix the problem. Graves Plumbing (Switz City), was low bidder to build the plant after…
It’s been a topic of concern since 2014 — and there doesn’t seem to be any resolution.
