No horsing around
Thumbs-up to Mia Prewitt and Macy Casner, both of Seymour, for their efforts to promote the girls-only weeklong horse camps each summer at SpringHill Camps at 2221 W. State Road 258. Girls attending the camps are taught how to ride horses in an arena setting and go on trail rides. They also learn how to act, be safe around a horse and how to groom and saddle a horse. Prewitt and Casner made poster boards promoting the camps in the hopes of increasing attendance.

Promoting awareness
Thumbs-up to members of the Teens for Change program at Brownstown Central Middle School. The students recently received permission from Jackson County Commissioners to place a Clothesline Project on the fence of the courthouse lawn from Oct. 24-31. The Clothesline will contain T-shirts representing the victims of domestic violence this past year in Indiana. Turning Point Domestic Violence Services of Jackson County is organizing a project similar to one that’s been held outside Cummins Seymour Engine Plant on East Fourth Street Road in October of each year since 2013. The projects are designed to promote awareness of domestic violence and dating violence.
Stopping completely
Thumbs-down to motorists who apparently don’t know that a stop sign means bringing your vehicle to a complete story before proceeding on their way into an intersection.
