Olney residents struggling to pay their water bills will soon get help through a grant program that the City Council voted to participate in at its Sept. 26 meeting. The city began collecting a $30 water surcharge to fund a new $13-million water treatment plant in August. That surcharge rises to $35 in November.
For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison 2 Corinthians 4:17 ESV
When I was little, my brother and I spent hours–no, days–playing games that we made up. Well, we thought we made them up. Thanks to a mint green tape recorder that I got for Christmas one year, lots of our games and other weird things are actually preserved on cassette tapes. We hosted fake radio programs, complete with news reports, weather and traffic, and, of course, commercials. We wrote and recorded songs using my brother’s Casio keyboard. One of our greatest hits was a patriotic number called “I’m Proud to Live in the USA,” which strangely required me to sing in a pitch so high that dogs came running.
Every six weeks, the Enterprise will team up with Olney High School to honor a special group of teachers and students. “Students were asked to vote on the staff member that they feel has gone out of his or her way to push and encourage them, is understanding, has challenged them to be the best they can be, is their biggest cheerleader and we all know so so much more,” Principal Brianne Brock said. “Staff was asked to vote on one student from each grade that they felt needs a pat on the back, always does right, a positive role model and so much more.” For more information, check out the video on the OHS Facebook page: https://fb.watch/fP5GAtA9P1/
