We’ve lost our lease. Yep, we have to vacate our office by February 28. Our building’s owner wants to develop other businesses in the entire building. This spot on Main Street has been home to the DCI and ADvantage for the past five years. Let’s call it familiar. Owners Ed and Tina Butler...
After decades of round steering wheels there’s a car company designing the future cars it manufactures sporting rectangular steering ‘wheels’ on its Model S and X. If you guessed Tesla, you are correct. We have a few Teslas around town, but the sci-fi looking Tesla cockpits will impress even the...
As publisher of the Dodge County Independent and ADvantage for more than one year, our editor, Karen Jorgensen (a.k.a. the Great Dane), suggested that it was time to change my column from Back Home Again to something that is more in keeping with a person who managed to live through year one.

Rather, the game is set to pit Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field home of the frozen tundra. Weather for that NFC match up is expected to reach...
This New Year was spent with family watching Ohio State thump NCAA’s No. 2 Clemson in a 49-28 semi-final and Alabama’s Crimson Tide took care of Notre Dame in lop-sided matchup by a score of 31-14. It was great to watch the New Year’s Day college football games of 2021 without a thought of 2020....

The cumulative stress of multiple incidents like this...
Concerts, Christmas programs, business Christmas office parties and in-person Christmas Eve services for the most part have been cancelled, zoomed or held in a manner that falls within the guidelines of the governor’s orders. However, during this holiday week – between Christmas Eve and New Year’s...
Governor’s orders do not permit weddings, funerals and similar events to take place between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. So, if anyone was thinking of having a wedding around 10 p.m. or before 4 a.m., better rethink the plans.
