Three unopposed candidates—Steve Nurre, Thea Sullivan, and Chuck Stennett—were officially sworn in as members of the Olney City Council at the Council’s June 9 meeting.
Barry Hodges, co-owner of Big Luv’s BBQ in Olney, asked the City Council on June 9 to consider increasing food truck fees and tightening regulations, arguing that mobile vendors are cutting into the revenues of brick-and-mortar restaurants without sharing the financial burden of doing business in the city.
The children and teens of Olney are still enjoying many sporting activities during summer break, including softball, baseball, basketball, volleyball, cross country running and weightlifting with football camp coming later in the summer.
In the wake of several damaging spring storms, Olney Police Chief Dan Birbeck is once again warning residents to take precautions before hiring contractors to repair hail-damaged roofs, vehicles, and structures.
