An Olney man pleaded guilty to a charge of continuous abuse of a child in exchange for a 45-year prison sentence minutes before his jury trial was set to begin in Graham on Jan. 9, District Attorney Dee Peavy said.
A Texas-based holding company has purchased the abandoned gas station on Main Street at a county foreclosure sale, a development that could simplify or complicate the City of Olney’s efforts to remove a huge pile of tires from the property, City Administrator Arpegea Pagsuberon told the City Council on Jan. 9.
She is a gifted artist who has traveled all over the world, painting beauty as she saw it, an easel dug into the sand on a beach someplace or perched at the top of a hill overlooking a quaint Italian village. She is a singer, a guitarist, a devoted mother and wife, a meticulous dresser with a penchant for wearing berets. She is up in years now, but you wouldn’t guess it when you watch her bebop around the church, a smile always on her face. Enthusiasm seems to come easy for her, and it is contagious – her encouragement and her effortless laugh brighten the spaces she inhabits. She isn’t loud, but she is always there, and her expression says that she is pleased to show up, delighted to be a part of it all, this life and this church and this weary world.
