Attacking columnists for having an opinion
Thumbs Down: Like other newspapers across the country, the Echo Press prints columns – personal viewpoints about a wide variety of topics that appear on our Opinion page.

Seymour Evening Lions Club donates to band program

The director of the Seymour High School band was the guest speaker for a recent meeting of the Seymour Evening Lions Club.
Kevin Cottrill said he was born and raised in Bloomington where he became a passionate Indiana University fan with a dream to attend the school and march in the Hoosier Hundred marching band.
Both of these dreams came true, Cottrill said, and he talked about how big a thrill it was to be part of such a well-known musical organization.
This helped cement his passion for a career as a teacher and director of a high school band in Indiana, he said.
