 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, May 08, 2002 VOL. I Issue 5B A TRIP TO THE DOCTOR Tuesday morning Harold,Mary,and Jerry Hinkle went to Pierre to keep Doctor appointments.Harold went to Dr.Linn for a check-up.Mary and Jerry saw Dr.Beemer the eye doctor in the afternoon.Jerry did not want to go as this would leave E.E. to fend for himself.He ended up going but he made Harold and Mary as miserable as possible. As it turned out,the old boy did pretty good on his own.It rained,sleeted,and hailed in Pierre at times during the day.There was about .20 of an inch of rain on the Ponderosa. Harold will have to wait for his results,but both Mary and Jerry found out that their eyesight has improved.Jerry had astigmatism before,but that's gone now. Mary is starting to develop cataracts on her eyes. DARREL HINKLE NO-TILLING THE CROP FOR 2002 Not wanting to be left behind in planting Darrel Hinkle went out to plant corn on Monday.He has decided to expermint with no-til oats and corn.using chemicals to control weeds instead.He is not the only operator to use this method but some inthe family are viewing this project skeptically.The rain on Tuesday delayed him from completing the corn planting,but allowed him to continue with some mechanical work in the shop. TAMERA PETERSON CROWNED QUEEN E.E. Hinkle recieved word that his great-grandaughter Tamera(Tami)Peterson was elected Prom Queen at the High School this past weekend.Truly remarkable given that her mother is the Principal.It is not remarkable that she could be queen.Tami is tall,graceful,and almost as pretty as her mother .Tami is a graduating senior at Upton High School in Upton,Wyoming.She is also up for Valedictorian.If selected it is our hope here at The Holabird Advocate that she will send word to us and make sure the Editor of our fine newspaper spell it right.It's not known if she would be the 1st Valedictorian,but it is still an honor at any rate. MARY HINKLE KEEPS BUSY With the graduation season upon us,Mary Hinkle's plaque making business is busy and expected to be that way for the next month or so.Mavis Kennedy has recently asked if Jerry if Mary could use a little help with her other duties.This caught him by surprise as the last he heard Mavis was too busy doing her own thing.As for Mary,all of us at the Holabird Advocate predict she will be thrilled to have Mavis over.Whenever Mavis comes to the Ponderosa,Mary says it feels "Just like having a wife" because she cooks and helps clean up her father house and all that.Mary once observed that"It's kind of nice to have a wife".All of us at The Holabird Advocate agree that if anyone had to have a wife,Mavis would be an excellent choice. STEPHANIE HERSETH FOR U.S. REPRESENTITIVE by Jerry Hinkle,Special to The Holabird Advocate I,as Publisher of The Holabird Advocate have decided to endorse Stephanie Herseth in her bid for South Dakota's lone seat in the House of Representitives.She is a relative newcomer to South Dakota politics.By that I mean she's never ran for office but her relatives have.Her Grandfather,Ralph Herseth was elected Governor of South Dakota once and for a Democrat,that's really something.Her Grandmother Lorna was elected Secretary of State as well.Her father ran for Governor but was not elected.Of all the Democratic candidates running,she has been the most visable as far as T.V. coverage is concerned.Ms. Herseth was born and raised in this state and left it only to go to college and law school.after that she apparently has been working with her father on the Herseth ranch near Houghton,South Dakota after her law school graduation.That is, if I understand her advertisments correctly.My Republican Sister-in-Law said that of all the candidates she's seen,Stephanie Herseth is the most professional.as far as her chances for election,the 1st hurtle is the June primary,in which her only visable opposition is Rick Weiland,a man who ran for the office 8 years ago.He even moved to South Dakota from Denver just so he could run.After he lost that contest he was appointed FEMA Regional Director by Preident Bill Clinton and moved back to(guess where).He had that job until the current administration took over.Next thing you know,he moved back here from Denver to (guess what).This guy may be some moving company's preffered customer by now.My main reason for endorsing Ms. Herseth is because she is good looking.The same reason most women have voted for politicians for 82 years. There is one thing that does concern me however.Her Republican opposition is most likely to be none other than Govenor Bill Janklow,who for some reason unknown to me is really popular in these parts.Maybe Ms. Herseth knows that she can't win and is using her campaign commercials to attract a husband with her form-fitting sweaters.She got my attention,whether she wanted it or not.
