Spend a day at the Statehouse with Rep. Davisson

0

Applications are now open for students interested in participating in the Indiana House Page Program, according to State Rep. Steve Davisson (R-Salem).

While at the Statehouse, House pages spend the day touring the House and Senate chambers, the Indiana Supreme Court and governor’s office.

They also observe the legislative session directly from the floor of the House, listening to debates on important policy issues.

“The House Page Program gives students a hands-on learning experience in how state government works. Students help legislators and staff with duties and get to sit in on session for the day,” Davisson said.

“I strongly encourage students in our community to apply and take part in this unique opportunity.”

Pages are also assigned age-appropriate tasks like delivering important messages and sorting files.

To be a page, applicants should be between the ages of 13 and 18, which is typically grades 6-12. Davisson said student pages receive an excused absence from school.

Davisson also said the 2017 session begins on Jan. 4, and page positions fill quickly. To apply, visit www.indianahouserepublicans.com/pageprogram or call 800-382-9841.

Those students who wish to page together should note that on their individual applications. House pages are scheduled for Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Large groups like Boys and Girls Scout Clubs may be scheduled to page on Wednesdays.

Tuesday morning, at approximately 10:00 am, the Indiana State Police, Seymour Police Department, and Jackson County Sheriff’s Department responded to a head on collision on State Road 258, just west of Seymour which resulted in a Seymour woman being flown to an Indianapolis Hospital with serious injuries.


According to the initial investigation by Sgt. Stephen Wheeles, a 2012 Freightliner hauling a box trailer, being driven by Richard A. Santel, age 46, Carlyle, IL was traveling eastbound on State Road 258 approaching Bell Ford Drive when the vehicle crossed the centerline for an unknown reason.

Santel’s vehicle, which was owned by Rose Acre Farms, struck a westbound 2012 Chevrolet Equinox being driven by Nancy S. Wilson, age 75, Seymour, Indiana.

After the collision, both vehicles left the roadway before coming to a stop. The Seymour Fire Department and Jackson County EMS responded to the scene and extricated Wilson from her vehicle.

Her condition is unknown at this time. Santel was not injured in the crash.

As required by law, Santel submitted to a drug and alcohol screen at a nearby medical facility. Drugs and alcohol are not suspected to be factors in this collision.
