Ice cream wars are making news again.

The Glens Falls Post-Star reports that village Mayor John "Jack" Diamond suspended the vending permit of a Mr. Ding-A-Ling ice cream truck operator because her aggressive sales tactics created a safety hazard.

Panay Olsen, the ice cream vendor, attended the Glens Falls Common Council meeting Tuesday and apologized for her behavior, the paper reported.

"I want to take responsibility for anything I did wrong," she said. Olsen, of Queensbury, said she has been selling ice cream for 14 years and that the business is her livelihood.

The suspension prohibits Olsen from operating on city streets or at city parks and playgrounds for 30 days.

The case comes just months after the city of Gloversville denied a $75-per-month permit to Sno Kone Joe over allegations that its drivers tried to bully the competition, Mr. Ding-A-Ling, out of town.

Sno Kone Joe's owner and a driver were charged with harassment and stalking. The owner sued in state Supreme Court, and, after a trial that stretched over nearly four weeks, the city prevailed.
