 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Friday, January 11, 2002 VOL. I Issue 1E ROUND-UP AT THE PONDEROSA by Jerry Hinkle Special to The Holabird Advocate The Ponderosa calves were taken to market on sale day.A year's worth of work all comes down to this.Round-up is such a colorful time on the Ponderosa, especially the language used by some of the wranglers.Not taking a back seat this year was Mary Hinkle.She could teach the San Diego sailors a few choice phrases,but then all of the Hinkles would make the fleet blush now and then. SNOW QUEEN CONTEST ON THE 12TH Kristen Grafing will be repesenting Holabird(even though she's "Miss Highmore) in the Snow Queen pagent in Aberdeen on Saturday the 12th.All of us at The Holabird Advocate wish her well.If she doesn't win,then somebody else will represent South Dakota at Saint Paul's Winter Carnival. A MODEST PROPOSAL. All of us at The Holabird Advocate always get a good laugh at the whole "Survivor" thing.We have come up with a real "Survivor" story for them and we hope all the readers get behind it.First we'd like the series filmed in a South Dakota winter on 40 acres of the countryside.16 average Americans would be taking care of a herd of 100 cows (50 cows per "tribe") with a only an old sod house for shelter.As far as rewards and immunity I'll come up with that later.The soul survivor gets to keep the land and the cows,which is worth about $1,000,000 after taxes anyhow.One drawback:no thong footage.that alone could kill this idea for CBS.That not withstanding, a lot of people do it everyday(without a sod house).Whataya think readers? MAYOR OF HIGHMORE ASKED TO HONOR HOLABIRD MAN Mike Newton,The duly appointed Mayor of Highmore as been approached to make July 20th or 22rd "Emory Hinkle Day",in honor of E.E. Hinkle's 100th birthday.Since Holabird has no mayor,it looks like chances are good for such a holiday in Highmore.If South Dakota's Govenor and the President can be talked into it that would make it an even bigger day.Is it possible for 3 Republicans to Honor this Democrat on reaching the century mark with his very own Holiday?Can the politicians put party loyalty aside?We at The Holabird Advocate will find out.
