If you want to catch a glimpse of real America, try cycling from coast to coast. Jemma Stilwell, an English native, traveled along U.S. Highway 275, Friday, making short stops in Ewing and Clearwater. A chance conversation with a group of coffee drinkers at Westend Mini-Mart in Ewing altered Stilwell's route, sending her to the Summerland Advocate-Messenger for a quick visit about her trek. Stilwell departed Seattle, July 25, riding between 80 and 100 miles a day, en route to Washington, D.C. "I...

Regina Krebs addressed the commissioners regarding annual levy allocations for the subdivisions, including rural fire districts, the Antelope County Ag Society and the Antelope County Airport Authority.
