2020 the Best of Dubois County

From the Publisher In 2019, we launched the county’s first Readers Choice awards with the Best Of Dubois County contest. Now in our second year, the contest continues to grow in nearly every way.

One of the most apparent ways this year’s contest grew was through the addition of more than 30 categories to better reflect the wide variety of goods and services that are offered in our county every day. We also added a Family & Fun section that included entertaining categories like Best Town Festival, Best School Spirit and Best Place for Family Fun. While the categories grew significantly, the overall format of the contest remained the same — first, readers made nominations for the businesses and people that they thought were most worthy of the “Best Of” title in each category. Decisions were tough though, as each reader could only nominate once per category.

Then, those nominations were tabulated (more than 91,000 in total) and the top five businesses and people in each category were placed on a final ballot.

Again, we asked our readers to voice their opinion through our digital ballot box on our website (a printed ballot was also included in The Herald during the open voting period). And again we limited each participant to one vote per category. When it was all said and done, more than 200,000 votes were cast in more than 130 different categories that ranged from Automotive to Shopping to Health to Professional Services.

The results of that nomination and voting process is what you will find on the following pages. This magazine will be delivered to thousands of Herald subscribers. It will also be shared with highly trafficked tourism areas in Dubois County and beyond and of course a digital version will be shared far and wide as well.

Let me be the first to say, congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who participated!

Sincerely, Justin Rumbach Publisher

BEST Place to buy new car Uebelhor and Sons founder, Theodore (Ted) Uebelhor, center in photo, grew up helping customers while working at the H.M. Uebelhor General Store in St. Henry, IN. In the mid 1920’s, he began selling cars and trucks for the Holder Company. In 1929, Ted had an opportunity to purchase the Chevrolet dealership in St. Meinrad, IN., which he operated until 1942, when he and John Struckman purchased the Chevrolet dealership in Jasper, IN. The two partners added the Oldsmobile brand in 1947, and Cadillac in 1949. Ted’s son, Paul, purchased Mr. Struckman’s ownership in 1962, making Uebelhor and Sons Motor Co. a family affair. After Ted passed away in 1977, Paul carried the Uebelhor tradition into the 2nd generation. Two of Paul’s sons, Tony and Chris, joined the organization full time in 1983.

In the years that followed, the Uebelhor’s added Toyota in 1989, Scion in 2005, and GMC-Cadillac, in Vincennes, IN, in 2006. Over 90 years later, the Uebelhor family is still taking care of the automotive needs of thousands of tri-state families! There are now four generations of customers sending their friends and family to Uehelhor and Sons!

“Where customers send their friends since 1929!”

BEST Place to spend Saturday night Showplace Cinemas first began its mission to entertain with a little twin theater in Evansville, Indiana way back in 1973. It has since grown to nine complexes with 86 screens in Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois!

Over all that time, we have always been proud to be a locally owned and operated family business!

In 1981, Showplace Cinemas built the Jasper theater as a triple auditorium complex. Eventually, the theater was sold to another company. But recently, a local investor sold it back to the Showplace Cinemas family and we are once again excited to serve the Jasper area for many years to come!

Showplace is making a commitment to the Jasper area by installing new, luxury recliners in all of its auditoriums. A remodel of the lobby, box office and concession areas has also taken place. We’ve also added some delicious new items to be enjoyed at the concession stand and have update the signage, lighting and lobby displays.

Patrons are sure to love our new website (ShowplaceCinemas.com) as well as our new, user-friendly mobile app!

Join our Showplace Rewards Club and enjoy $5 films all day on Tuesdays!

“Showplace Cinemas strives to make every visit an enjoyable one. We strive for top customer service, quality concessions and flawless presentations in a family-friendly environment!”

BEST coffee Bucket list checked for Kim’s Koffee!

When Kim Kerr arrived in Huntingburg in July of 2017, she quickly discovered she wasn’t in Minneapolis anymore. Overall, her new home checked a lot of boxes but getting her fix of her favorite java addiction was a challenge!

Within two weeks of arriving, she found herself in a battle that landed her in the hospital for the bulk of the year. As she rested and waited to come home in November after multiple surgeries, a real-estate listing caught her eye. An icon on Fourth Street was up for sale. It didn’t take long to decide to go for it! Our location at 410 E. Fourth Street became a Christmas present/Welcome Home present and the dream was set in motion.

Kim had always wanted a shop to call her own.

Coffee was a passion so we teamed up with the folks at Crimson Cup in Ohio and started the journey. Over the next two years, we ripped the space down to the bones and started over. All the things we complained about at other shops over the years — electrical plug-ins, phone chargers, comfy seats, a relaxing atmosphere — were all on the to-do list.

With her guiding eye for fashion and a knack for “knowing what goes together,” we embarked on shopping, building and building her dream.

The day finally arrived in October 2019 when Kim’s Koffee officially opened the doors and started serving the community. With her daughter Ashlie manning the ship on a day to day basis, we have a coffee shop and gathering place on Fourth Street that we are proud of and so thankful that the community has supported us on our Bucket List Journey!

We are here to satisfy your coffee, tea, smoothie and snack demands. After a few questions from your favorite barista, they will make you one of the menu favorites or custom make a flavor to hit the right spot! We continue to grow, learn and adjust to meet your needs! Get 10% off your order with your band card and first responders get 25% off everyday!

Thank you for voting us your #1 Coffee Destination for 2020!

BEST chiropractor Drs. Sheila and Toby Harmon opened Harmon Family Chiropractic in September of 1998 in Jasper, Indiana. They continue to pursue their vision of a unique chiropractic wellness center that provides personalized service to all their patients from the doctors and staff.

Each patient’s comprehensive health history, examination, and evaluation assist the doctors to thoroughly evaluate and understand your case. The doctors review past medical history and testing, conduct orthopedic tests, perform surface EMG and thermographic analysis, complete a physical and postural spinal evaluation, and if needed take digital x-rays in the office.

The objective of the doctors and staff is to inform each patient about their unique health condition and their spinal health. Patients are educated in ways to improve their health and body through diet, exercise, and spinal care. As a result, patients become an active participant in their healthcare and wellness with chiropractic care.

BEST Surgeon Orthopaedic Surgery has been a fascination of mine since I was a little boy. I broke my right forearm in 1984 and Dr. Norris reduced it and treated me in a cast. In high school I worked on my dad’s small family farm and helped my uncles. Working for my family taught me the value of hard work and that working with my hands was rewarding.

I graduated from Heritage Hills High School and after my dad threatened to make my college decision for me I found a great option in Wabash College. I would spend the next four years there as a biology major, classic humanities and German minor. I played football all four years and was in the FIJI fraternity.

I knew from the moment I graduated from high school that I wanted to be an Orthopaedic Surgeon. I also wanted to come back and live close to where I was raised to raise my own family. During my four years at Indiana University School of Medicine I knew that I needed to shine to realize my dreams of becoming an orthopaedic surgeon. I was awarded a scholarship from the United States Army so I ultimately was accepted to Madigan Army Medical Center. I moved my family to Seattle-Tacoma and the next 5 years were spent there learning to become

an orthopaedic surgeon. Working 100 plus hour weeks were a part of life. During my training I took a lot of interest in orthopaedic sports injuries in particular the shoulder. We moved to Louisiana and spent the ensuing four years serving our country. During this time I deployed to Iraq and our youngest two children of five were born. Iraq was a unique experience not many surgeons are afforded.

When my time in the military was coming to an end we naturally looked for opportunities in southern Indiana ultimately deciding on Jasper. Since returning home I have had the opportunity to take care of a lot of people in and around our community. I have been able to work with an excellent team, including the hospital and our office staff; but especially Dr.’s Blessinger and Norris. Having a supportive team at home including a very loving and supportive wife is also critical component of success. Taking care of people in Jasper has been a dream of mine since that broken forearm 36 years ago.

BEST hearing center At The Hearing Doctor, we truly believe that better hearing leads to a better life. Dr. Leeann Berger is a doctor of audiology and the owner of The Hearing Doctor. She graduated from Purdue University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in Speech, Language & Hearing Sciences, and completed her clinical doctorate at the University of Louisville in 2010. Following graduation, Dr. Berger pursed her passion to open a family-oriented, private audiology practice locally within her hometown.

Dr. Berger is a Fellow of the American Academy of Audiology (AAA), board certified by the American Board of Audiology (ABA), and provides special needs services for the Indiana Early Intervention Program for children (Indiana First Steps). Dr. Berger is committed to continuing education, only providing outcomes that are research driven.

Providing elite hearing care is the heart of Dr. Berger’s practice.

At The Hearing Doctor, we see patients of all ages, infancy to geriatric. Every patient will experience a comprehensive assessment, including possible treatment and prevention options. We evaluate and treat many common hearing complaints from tinnitus, impacted ear wax, selective listening, difficulty understanding in background noise, and co-morbid conditions linked to hearing (i.e., diabetes, heart, circulation, or thyroid).

Learning more about your hearing can provide better insight into overall body health. Dr. Berger encourages baseline assessments to understand where or when hearing loss first began. Often hearing loss goes unnoticed, yet can be traced to origins of industrial noise exposure or genetic family history. Dr. Berger and her staff at The Hearing Doctor invite you to consider our practice for all your hearing health needs. Experience life again by making better hearing your priority with us.

BEST Volunteer After moving to St. Anthony in 1982 and marrying Mary Sue Kordes, I looked forward to getting involved in the community. Always noticing when the Fire Station doors were open and knowing they were on a fire call somewhere, I knew I wanted to be a part of the Fire Department. My Dad, Jim Uebelhor, was a Ferdinand Fireman. When the opportunity came in 1984, I went to see Fire Chief Ernie Wehr and have now been a Firefighter for 36 years. In 2005, I was elected Fire Chief, which was a tremendous honor, following in the footsteps of some great leaders and mentors.

Becoming a “Volunteer Firefighter” or a “Volunteer Anything” re​quires a commitment. There has to be a passion that drives the Volunteer to do their very best, for the Community and for the other members of the department or organization. To volunteer requires a commitment to everyone you touch. It’s an honor to volunteer and there is a duty to our communities to serve. Many opportunities are available; it’s just a matter of finding the opportunity that fits. Time is always a factor but your family must come first, your occupation is second, then the organization you volunteer with comes next. It is definitely a team effort to be successful as an organization.

The St. Anthony Fire Department makes approximately 100 emergency runs each year. Along with the runs are training requirements and keeping the facility and equipment ready to respond. Fundraising is a huge part of our ability to provide the needed emergency equipment to protect our community. The annual Firemen’s Fest, held on the 3rd Saturday in August, has grown to include a Car, Truck & Motorcycle Show, Backyard BBQ contest, great food and entertainment for all ages.

The Fest is a signature event for the St. Anthony Community and a great

source of pride for everyone.

Scott and Mary Sue have been married 37 years and have 2 children: Cole, 34, and Kelsey, 30.

Thank you to everyone that nominated me and voted for me to become the Best Volunteer in Dubois County! Volunteers make things happen in all of our communities. — Scott Uebelhor
