• Jackson County woman sentenced to 30 years for death of 17-month-old boy (wthr.com) — From a Seymour courtroom, a Brownstown woman has been sentenced to 30 years in prison, with three years suspended, for the neglect-related death of a 17‑month‑old boy. Jackson County prosecutors stressed that no punishment can undo the loss, but said the lengthy sentence reflects the community's demand for accountability in such a tragic case. 
• Teen to represent USA in Taekwondo during Youth Olympics (812noww.com) — A Seymour family's martial arts studio is sending one of its own to the global stage, as 17-year-old Karlee Vogel heads to Senegal this fall to compete in Taekwondo at the Youth Olympic Games. Training weekly at Vogel's Knock Out Martial Arts in Seymour and with a Michigan coach, she's one of just a handful of U.S. girls ever to qualify and the lone American in her weight class.
• More than 400 arrested by ICE during five-day Indiana operation (tribtown.com) — A recent five-day ICE operation in Indiana included arrests in Seymour and Columbus as part of a statewide sweep that detained 426 people labeled as immigration violators with various criminal histories. While officials emphasized public safety and tied the effort to federal priorities, they did not specify how many arrests occurred in each community, leaving local impacts somewhat unclear.
