Tracie Mays and the other parents who talked to the Vernon County Commission on Tuesday are happy that the commissioners reacted quickly to their request to make the arena more assessable to participants in the 4-H horsemanship program.

"The commission has unlocked the arena and it is open for those who need to practice," Mays said. "We really appreciate them acting so quickly."

Mays also wanted to clear up a point raised in the article in Wednesday's Daily Mail concerning Northern Commissioner Neal Gerster.

"I don't want anyone reading the article to think Neal was responsible for having the arena locked," Mays said. "That's just what Tracy Pitts told me and I don't want anyone to hold Neal responsible for locking it up."
