July came in with a gust from Mother
Nature. We are so thankful there were no serious injuries. Clean up
will take a while, however. Our city crews were promptly out after
the storm taking care of what needed to be done. We are grateful and
fortunate to have these wonderful people working and living in
Olivia. Everyone is doing a terrific job of cleaning up trees and
brush. Neighbors helping neighbors stories abounded within Olivia.
City crews worked through the 4th of July Holiday. It
will take 2-3 weeks just to make one pass through the whole city.
There has been some discussion of local
boulevards and what trees the city will take down. The width of
individual boulevards depends on the size of your street. There are
8 different street widths in Olivia so boulevards will vary. To
receive the correct information call city hall and they will tell you
your boulevard size. There is a formula for this and they will
calculate it quickly for you. Regardless of the ownership of these
broken trees, lets get them taken care in the safest manner. The
city crews have more than enough to do especially getting ready for
Corn Capital Days. Nester Park was especially hard hit and will need
lots of clean up. Feel free to stop by Nester or Henton with a rake
and help clean up the parks before our city celebration.
Corn Capital Days is right around the
corner, the t-shirts are at local retailers, brochures are out,
raffle tickets are out and are $5.00 each. Most Chamber members have
them, I do also, and if you wish to sell a book see Nancy at the
Chamber Office. For more information and forms for the various
activities including the parade visit http://www.oliviachamber.org/
It's good to have Council member Al
Houdek on the mend from a recent medical emergency. Our thoughts and
prayers were with him.
