10 years ago (1993)"Sometime between Thursday, June 17, and Monday, June 21, three break-ins occurred at businesses in Beaver Creek and Hills. Hills-Beaver Creek Coop Farm Service Elevator, Beaver Creek branch, reported the first burglary. Beaver Creek Lumber Yard and H-BC Co-op Farm Service, Hills branch, both reported break-ins. The amount of damage is undetermined at this time."25 years ago (1978)"The Hills Community Club presented a check for $300 to the H-BC Band as part of the festivities of the Beef Feed last week. The money is to be used in defraying costs for the band’s scheduled trip to Michigan."50 years ago (1953)"Among the graduates from the University of Minnesota Ag School was Paul Sandager from Hills. Paul has made quite a name for himself while attending the University, with his work as a student and outside activity." 75 years ago (1928)"Miss Ada Myrlie received first prize in the sewing and patching classes which included 80 girls from the state of Minnesota. She will get a free trip to the Minnesota State Fair. The contest was held in Luverne."100 years ago (1903)"Owing to the many washouts of bridges and culverts, road overseers can put a good share of the road work in with dump and wheel scrapers and in raising the roads in low places. During the last three or four years many of the farmers have attained the idea that all that is necessary to "work out" their road tax is to send some boy with two teams to put on a road grader, and then chase up and down the roads for miles at a stretch. This is all right as far as it goes, but those places that badly need attention should not be overlooked. Further experience has proved that one plank culvert is not sufficient and no culvert less than two feet wide should be put in."
