 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Saturday, August 31, 2002 VOL. I Issue 8O DARREL HINKLE IS A CERTIFIED PILOT What began as a secret has now resulted in Darrel Hinkle getting his pilot's license and flight certificate. Darrel has been doing flight training for an undisclosed number of months now. His father Harold has been reported as saying that Darrel is looking to get a plane for $18,000 but his older brother, Jerry, (who is famous in these parts for his fear of flying) has said that such a plane would be unsafe. Harold replied "Well, I don't trust his driving, so why would I get in a plane with him. There's no way in Hell !!! " HERSETH LEADS JANKLOW IN POLL 44-41 House candidate Stephanie Herseth has narrowly beaten Govenor William J. Janklow in an independant poll that called 600 voters at random. Of those polled 44% support Herseth to 41% for the 4 term incumbant govenor. The rest are either undecided or planning to vote for the Reform candidate whose name is unknown to anyone here at The Holabird Advocate. This poll as a margin of error of 5% so this race is too close to call. Still, in a state where the average Democrat would come in second if a poll was taken at their own family reunion, that's pretty good. Ms. Herseth has been endorsed by The Holabird Advocate and it's Publisher. Remember, dear Readers, that Election day is just 66 days away. That's the only poll that truly does count. PUBLISHER'S NOTES by Jerry Hinkle (DUH) There are going to be big changes for this blog from the next month's issue. We are going to drop "The" from the name, effectively making it the "Holabird Advocate". Also we will refer to it as a newsblog instead of newspaper, since printing press and paper isn't actually used in the publication. The last change is the best one yet. We will be availing ourselves of some more of the free services of Bravenet.com, adding an FAQ section in case any of the new Readers or the original ones have a question that only the staff here can provide the answer to and a poll to help the Readers voice their opinions. These changes will become effective at 12:00pm (noon) on September 2nd providing I can tear myself away from the Jerry Lewis Telethon long enough to get it all done in time (that Norm Crosby tears me up so much). The web address will stay the same, and the quality of this publication will get better. Couldn't get worse. Could it? Issue 9 promises to be the best one yet.
