U.S. Marine Corps veteran Scott Gardner recalls gathering at “The Barn” at the Kelly place on Hutchins Road in Olney for the Hog Hoot in the ‘90s. People from all over the country crowded into The Pipeliner Inn and Olney homes for the Labor Day weekend bash, starting with a barbecue dinner that first night.
The Olney City Council approved a $15,000 contract to allow an Abilene engineering company to assess the city’s water treatment plant and devise a plan to refurbish it, starting as soon as spring 2026.
“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You.” Psalm 56:3 NASBS
For more than a decade, you could find her there. On the streets of Melbourne, Australia. Natalie sat, hunched over a small keyboard, bent and broken. Her metal walker stood nearby like a bodyguard. Her twisted and hooked fingers moved across the keys as if they were young and slender and light. The swollen joints did what she commanded, as if in these moments, on the bustling city street, they didn’t bring the ache to her tired hands, the ache that kept her up at night. Here, they were soft and supple and beautiful.
