OLNEY, Texas — U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) has selected the L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) and Air Tractor, Inc.’s AT-802U Sky Warden™ system for its Armed Overwatch program. The program will field up to 75 rugged multi-mission aircraft to fulfill SOCOM’s need for a deployable, affordable, and sustainable aircraft system for close air support, armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and strike coordination missions to counter violent extremist organizations.
After a “Sister City” connection with Detchino was established, Richard and Dema Lunsford invited others to assist and a list of Detchino needs was provided - medical supplies being at the top of the list.
During June, July and the first week of August, the Children’s Library at the Olney Community Library & Arts Center provided an opportunity for young readers to keep track of their reading. They could read books from the library, home, on-line sources or other libraries. Reading is such an important part of continuing education, that a contest of who could read the most books and win the most points was part of the library’s summer program. The theme this year was “Oceans of Possibilities!” They could pursue books with this theme in mind or choose something else.
