• PSP: Remains found during recent search believed to be man missing since July (thecourierexpress.com) — Human remains found March 31 near the DuBois Reservoir are believed to be those of 72-year-old Garry Lee Keller, who disappeared after a fishing trip there in July 2025. State police say no foul play is suspected, but the case remains open pending medical examiner confirmation. Multiple agencies and cadaver dogs had previously searched the wooded area without success. 
• DuBois City Continues Struggle with Water Issues (gantnews.com) — DuBois residents facing late-arriving utility bills will see all April late fees waived after a billing vendor failure left some people with just a day to pay. City officials also discussed ongoing water rate changes and warned that a global fluoride shortage could eventually force an involuntary end to local water fluoridation if supplies run out.
• TEAM FIRST: DCC Grad Melia Mitskavich Finds Her Moment in Shared National Championship (gantnews.com) — A DuBois native and DuBois Central Catholic standout, Melia Mitskavich, has helped Jacksonville State capture the NCAA Division I women’s bowling national championship, embracing a team-first role rather than the spotlight. The sophomore, also a former local softball player, is balancing limited playing time, national-level pressure, and dreams of a future professional bowling career while proudly representing her hometown roots.
