Delaware County Today 11/13/25

On today’s edition of Delaware County Today, Steve Lindell delivers a full spectrum of local, state, and national stories shaping our community. We begin with a developing national security update as U.S. military posture shifts in the Caribbean, followed by the latest on Venezuela’s escalating threats — all part of this morning’s Military Matters report from Fox News.

Locally, we continue our coverage of the heartbreaking loss of Corporal Blake Reynolds of the Delaware County Sheriff’s Department. You’ll hear emotional statements from Prosecutor Eric Hoffman, Deputy Chief Jeff Stanley, and others reflecting on Corporal Reynolds’ service, sacrifice, and the impact felt across Delaware County.

Our news summary also spotlights the State of Indiana’s latest housing and READY 2.0 funding developments with Muncie receiving $6.75 million for downtown revitalization, updates on adoption awareness during National Adoption Month, and Anderson’s Holly Jolly Holiday Auction. We highlight community programs including Isaiah 117 House, and share Hoosier stories of service from local veterans.

Plus, we bring you a rundown of the latest campus insights from Ball State University, including President Geoffrey Mearns’ clever use of the WMUN word of the day — “exoteric” — and a preview of what’s ahead on This Week in Ball State Sports with Mick Tidrow.

As always, Friday night lights return with Yorktown football on WMUN and Lapel vs. Lutheran on Oldies 101, with video available at IHSAATV.org/woofboom. And Steve wraps the show with listener check-ins from across the country, a heartwarming story of lifelong friendship, and a hint that tomorrow’s show may include a special visual surprise.
