Adams earns longevity award

The Olney City Council recognized Shannon Adams for 10 years of service to the city. Ms. Adams has served all that time as the only woman in the Public Works Department, keeping the parks and cemeteries and public spaces tidy. Her grandfather, Buddy Clayton, and dad, Mike Lewis, inspired her to join the city. “My dad and my grandpa worked for the city for a long time so I just thought I’d carry on, but I didn’t expect to make it this long,” she said.
