Gibbs Is Flying High

Gibbs Is Flying High

Harley Gibbs was a smalltown kid. He grew up in Claremont and graduated from Langford Area in 2018. Gibbs says growing up in a tight-knit community surrounded by lots of family, including his grandma Yvonne who lived next door, kept him grounded. Yet, ironically, he couldn’t wait to take flight. In fact, he has a rich background in aviation despite being from ‘the sticks.’ Thus, it comes as little surprise that Gibbs is flying high these days. 08/23/2023 12:00 AM

Budget Error Raises Concern

At the Britton City council meeting on Monday night, a concerning accounting error was discussed. Finance Officer Jennifer Athey pointed out an error in the spreadsheet used to create the city budget.

Another Good Dousing

Another Good Dousing

The weather Sunday developed into something that in recent months has been a rarity. An all-day rain shower for most of the area. It steadily rained from morning until well into the night. Much of the area reported around two inches of rain after the soaking. But some areas got substantially more than that. Folks around Clear Lake, Lake City, Eden and Langford measured around three inches. And weather reporters around Hillhead and Roslyn even recorded five or more inches. 08/16/2023 12:00 AM
