2019 The Best of Dubois County

From the Publisher Thank you, thank you, thank you.

When we began planning The Herald’s first-ever readers’ choice awards, we knew it had the potential to be big. After all, Dubois County is home to countless wonderful businesses that pride themselves on being the best they can be. Add to the mix the people that live here and their passion for their hometown favorites and we knew we had a recipe for success. We just never imagined how successful the contest would ultimately be.

The Best Of Dubois County contest aimed to honor the best the county has to offer in 98 categories that ranged from food to shopping to health to automotive and everything in between. First, we asked you to nominate your favorites in each category. You responded in huge numbers. When the nomination period ended, nearly 67,000 nominations had been placed.

Next, we moved the five businesses with the most nominations in each category onto the voting phase of the contest. Again, you responded in droves. When it was all said and done, more than 250,000 votes were cast to determine the Best in each category! And that is what we are proudly presenting in this magazine — our first here at The Herald. The categories are color coded to make exploring the magazine even easier. You’ll find an index below.

Let me offer a final “thank you” to everyone who took the time to participate in our first-ever readers’ choice contest. We look forward to making it an annual tradition. And congratulations to all the businesses that work hard every day to help make Dubois County a great place to live, work and play.

Sincerely, Justin Rumbach Publisher

BEST groomer & Boarding Downtown Dog is an enrichment center for dogs that is centrally located along the Riverwalk in downtown Jasper. Downtown Dog was established and open for business in May of 2016.

We offer a variety of services to meet the community’s needs. Our services include: Boarding, Daycare, Grooming, Dog Walking, Home Visits, and Pet Transportation.

Our 8,000+ square foot facility houses 22 kennels for boarding and contains 3 indoor and 2 outdoor play areas for different groups of dogs to socialize and exercise. Our play areas contain ramps, tunnels, slides, ball pits and more to make sure the dogs have lots to do when playing with their friends.

While dogs are in our care, they are not kenneled during the day. We let everyone have playtime all day so that whenever they return to their rooms for the night, they all go straight to sleep!

When Downtown Dog first began, the owners, Heath and Hannah Vollmer, were the only caretakers for the dogs. Now, we have grown so much that we have 9 employees to ensure we are giving the best, individualized care to each and ev-

BEST veterinarian Serving the community since 1996, the Animal Medical Center of Dubois County has recently expanded and remodeled to provide additional space for a third doctor and increased patient services. Three experienced registered veterinary technicians and additional skilled staff members assist Dr. Charles Johnson, Dr. Lori Mehringer, and Dr. Molly Johnson with patient visits, surgeries, and treatments.

With our expansion, an updated surgical suite with gas anesthesia and electronic patient monitoring, an intensive care unit with oxygen cage, and additional exam rooms have allowed us to improve our handling of everything from routine exams and vaccinations to respiratory and surgical emergencies. In house CBC, blood chemistry, urinalysis, and radiology capabilities allow for more rapid and complete diagnoses without having to leave town. Surgical and therapeutic laser units add to the treatment options that we offer.

In addition, superb relationships with specialty referral practices in nearby larger cities allow for smooth transitions and ongoing communication

BEST

Real Estate Agent

Brenda Welsh Thank you very much to all of you for voting me the Best Realtor of Dubois County. I am so fortunate to have won with so many other qualified candidates in my profession. Upon receipt of the notification, tears of joy overcame me. I owe this honor to my past and present clients, family, friends, and all of you who have had the faith and confidence in me over the past 20 years to support and use me in your real estate transactions.

When we started Sell4Free Welsh Realty Corp. in 1999 we had no idea that this honor would one day be bestowed upon me. Originally, I earned my degree in Dental Hygiene and was practicing part-time when we relocated back to Jasper after our twins were born. I obtained my real estate license to help out with the new company part time, but was quickly immersed in the real estate world and had to end my dental hygiene career.

Real estate became an exciting and a great way to get to meet so many wonderful people, and helping them find the right home, the one that met their particular needs, was a lot of fun. Many of those people became more than just clients. They have become life-long friends.

Earning the honor of Best Realtor of Dubois County has made me reflect back on the many clients that I had the opportunity to deal with over the years and really warms my heart.

My real estate practice has grown from starting our company in a one

duboiscountyherald.com

812-309-0630 Brenda.Welshs4f@gmail.com room office with a blanket on the floor for our newborn twins to play, to my total sales for my career of over $160,560,325, and having the privilege of serving over 1,000 clients in the past 20 years. Our company has served over 2,637 clients in transactions totaling over $400,510,164 in sales.

The only way any of this has been possible is with the unbelievable support from all of our faithful clients and dedicated agents. My real estate practice for the past 20 years has been fun, exciting, challenging, and emotional at times. My clients are so much more than just another transaction.

Each of my clients represents a piece of my career, that if taken away, takes away a piece of my growth as a real estate professional.

It seems as though a “thank you” is hardly enough to all of you who voted for me and have dealt with me over the past. Nevertheless, THANK YOU for voting me the Best Realtor of Dubois County. Your faith and confidence are very much appreciated. I hope to serve a 1,000 more clients over the years to come, and would love to help you buy or sell your next home. You may contact me at 812-309-0630 or email me at Brenda.welshs4f@gmail.com.

Very best regards, Brenda Welsh n

Phyllis stenftenagel The Original Westside Dairy Queen was opened by Carl and Evelyn Witte in August of 1950 and was one of the only treat centers in the United States.

In the beginning, it was only a walk up store with no seating and no fried foods. Over time, the store grew to add a dining room in the 80s and eventually added a drive-thru in 1992!

Carl and Evelyn owned the Dairy Queen for over 40 years until it was purchased by Corporate Dairy Queen and Jerry Schuetter in 1990. In 1993, Phyllis Stenftenagel and Jerry Brown acquired the store, which they still

own today. Change continued for Dairy Queen, as the remodeled in 2008 by adding Orange Julius, a sandwich line, and many unique treats.

The one thing that has not changed throughout Jasper Dairy Queen’s history is the store’s dedicated leadership and commitment to the Dubois County community.

Phyllis continues to leave a positive impact in the County, not only through her involvement in the community, but also the outstanding influence she has on those around her.

Generations of employees gather to honor Phyllis for the impact she has made in their lives. With that in mind, we couldn’t think of a more deserving person to win the 2019 BEST BOSS of Dubois County!

Thrift Store

One of the oldest and most succesful charitable organizations in the world, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic lay organization of approximately 700,000 men and women throughout the world who volunteer to seek out and provide person-toperson aid to the poor and needy in 144 countries and five continents.

Members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (of “Vincentians”) are men and women who strive to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to individuals in need.

We are young and old. Our members come from every shade of skin color. Some of us are wealthy, some are financially poor, but all of us are blessed with an awareness that our blessings (time, talent or treasure) are to be shared with our brothers and sisters in need.

Energized by the awareness that service to our brother or sister in need is in fact an encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ, members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul are keenly aware that poverty, suffering and loneliness are present for millions in our communities. For that reason, we collaborate with all who seek to relieve need and address its causes.

The Society’s thrifts stores throughout the United States are mutually formed in an association of lay employees and volunteers dedicated to serving the needs of the community. All who come to our stores are welcomed

with dignity and respect. Our hope is that they leave as friends and return to shop with us again. Those who cannot afford clothing, furniture or other household items are provided them through a Vincentian referral system.

Customers, employees and volunteers are treated equally without regard to race, color, creed, sex or national origin. All, including the disadvantaged, handicapped and persons with special needs, are employed so that we may all benefit from the talents and abilities of everyone seeking employment.

Serving Christ’s needy is the primary goal of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul stores.

In this ministry, we pledge to use sound business practices.

Surplus funds will be dedicated to the support of Parish Conferences and charitable causes of the Society approved rd by our Councils and Board of Directors.

Our St. Vincent de Paul encompasses nine parishes throughout Dubois County and northern Spencer County with a purpose of serving the poor and needy. In fiscal 2017, St. Vincent de Paul members made 1,155 home visits and helped approximately 4,702 people. The Jasper store’s hours are noon to 5 p.m. on Tuesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturdays.
