 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, May 09, 2002 VOL. I Issue 5C DOCTOR TO E.E. HINKLE:DON'T COME BACK UNTIL AUGUST At his latest doctor's appointment E.E Hinkle was told that his blood presure was normal and that he need not come back until sometime in August,when he will be well on his way to 101.He is to still avoid salt,but his grandson jerry said that if he wants salt after his 100th birthday,he will get it.Until that day it's salt free bacon for breakfast. JERRY HINKLE TO BE IN "A GOOD LAND" Our courageous,dynamic Publisher,Jerry Hinkle was asked to be in the Hyde County Historical and Genelogical Society's production of "The Good Land",a play written by Barbera Nemec,Holabird's maven of style and good taste.Jerry will play the small but pivital role of a minister.Mrs. Nemec,who will also direct the production,had to do a little convincing,to get him to agree to perform,but won him over as she would not take "No" for an answer.The performance of this musical production will take place sometime in mid August. SHE MADE IT AFTER ALL by Jerry Hinkle,Special to The Holabird Advocate Mary Tyler Moore went to the place where it all began to see the statue placed by cable's TV-Land depicting her as Mary Richards at that magical moment when she tosed her hat into the air in the openning credits of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show".That show was groundbreaking at the time with it's portrayal of a single woman in her 30s making it on her own.Not the usual TV fare of the 1970s.It was the real "Must see TV " as opposed to the"Please Watch TV" crap that we are forced to watch today.I sometimes wonder how it would stack up in today's primetime network line-up.After all there was no profanity,very little bed-hopping,but worst of all,with the exception of Lisa Gerritsen, Helen Hunt and Robbie Rist there was nobody under 30 in the cast.Still,being "out of date" didn't effect the turnout at the unveiling ceremony as thousands showed up to see the statue and sing the theme song which was masterfully written and performed by former Cricket,Sonny Curtis.The only question I have is"how did the sculptor get that hat to stay in mid-air?".I guess I'll have to go see the statue myself.If only I knew somebody in the Twin Cities who could show me where it is.
