Hillsboro Elementary School teachers and helpers painted a map of the United States on the tennis courts at the elementary school Saturday. The project will serve as a geography, social studies, and math learning tool for students. The Lumberyard and Hillsboro Hardware donated the paint and brushes for the project. Those helping were Eileen Butler, Anna Marie Wiebe, Carolyn Penner, Bradley and Lorna Ellis, Mike Moran, and Sherri, Gary, and Ryan Fields.
No stoplight in Hillsboro? Our similarity to the surrounding big cities gone forever? Our beacon in the night extinguished? Last week, city officials unanimously voted to render Hillsboro's only stoplight inoperative. They claim the decision was based on popular demand. The debate of whether or not to have a stoplight at the intersection of Grand and Main streets came about after a part went bad and a new one had to be ordered to get the stoplight going again. Well, the part came in all right but now, the stoplight won't be reactivated
