10 years ago (1994)"Only a single Hills resident has come forward to express interest in filling the vacancy on the Hills City Council. Preston Ver Meer has indicated he would like to serve the 10-month term that is available. Ver Meer must be appointed by the Hills Council. The vacancy is the result of Berdell Bush’s resignation from the council." 25 years ago (1979)"Glen Paulsen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Paulsen, left for Japan on Sunday evening for a six-month study period with a foreign exchange student program. The program is entitled "Open Door for International Friendship."50 years ago (1954)"More than 500 people called last Saturday morning, afternoon and evening at the Blue Ribbon Hatchery to inspect its new quarters and the all-new hatching units installed there the past week.

These new wrinkles cost all the way from $10,000 to $18,000 to install." 100 years ago (1904)"Two more lonely bachelors have been discovered since last week and the best of it is that both are good workers and neither much over 30.One of them is Lars Hovland, who is so handy with carpenter’s tools, that he would have a snug nest erected before the honeymoon was over. If some nice healthy "norsk jente" would meet him half way, Lars would join the benedicts.The other one is Torkel Dokken who would make a good looking and kind "Lord and Master." It’s a cinch that he would have been snapped up long ago, if he had not been out of town so much. A proposal, however, would reach him at Hills."
