Johnson County turns pink

       The pinking of Johnson County is well under way. I think we are going to look very pretty in pink.  Folks are letting us know about their efforts to show support for families that have been touched by breast cancer.  The Franklin Fire Department has designed a special logo to promote breast cancer awareness (see photo below). The image will be on the department's duty shirts. The Greenwood Fire Department plans to wear pink shirts. And the White River Fire Department has their own pink shirts too. The back of the shirt says: Brave enough to wear pink (see photo below).

         The Center Grove football team will be wearing pink wristbands, pink shoelaces and pink helmet decals when it plays North Central on Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium.  On Tuesday, Center Grove representatives gathered to promote the event. Center Grove football coach Eric Moore, breast cancer survivor and Center Grove employee Glennda Watson and senior football players Nick Stoner and Joel Hale were on hand to display the pink wristbands that will be worn for the game.  Access Johnson County is getting in the spirit. Betty Kinney sent a note that the public transportation agency plans to do a lot of pink decorating.  And Oren E. Snyder, who lives near Franklin, has the perfect car for breast cancer awareness month. (See photo below.) Nice wheels, Oren.  Be sure to see the Daily Journal newspaper on Oct. 15. Send an e-mail to bepink@dailyjournal.net to send in your pink photos.  Story by Scarlett Syse, Editor of the Daily Journal.  (Reprinted with permission from the Daily Journal)
