The Hills-Beaver Creek School Board has approved two bids related to new lighting for the school’s football field. 

The first bid, by Musco Sports Lighting, will be for the materials, including the 4-foot field lights. The bid was approved earlier this spring at $93,000. 

I’m not clear the number of phones I have owned. I recall my first cell phone was an actual phone in a carry bag that could be used in a vehicle. I thought this would be my first and last phone. After all, could it get any better? Indeed it has. From that first phone to a flip phone.
