 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Friday, August 02, 2002 VOL. I Issue 8B RACOONS INVADE THE SWEET CORN While Harold Hinkle's been away from the Ponderosa, his prize sweet corn has been ravaged by racoon bandits. The cooler weather of late has brought the clever little thieves out to take a load. Racoons have been a problem in the garden ever since the Hinkles lost Lassie, their faithful dog. Harold usually put in an electric fence arond the sweet corn in the garden, but this year had neglected to do so. The garden has recieved a fair amount of water from the sprinkler system because of the lack of rain this Summer. It would be a shame to let the sweet corn,the crown jewel of the garden go without a fight. ON THE ROAD AGAIN by Hiram Gonagan Trouble at the Ponderosa hasn't kept the Hinkles home. In fact both E.E. Hinkle and Jerry have been on trips to Pierre and Highmore this week. Mavis and George took them in Harold's Suburban. They went on a fruitless search for replacement rollers for the 20 year old sliding glass door on E.E's house. They also got bananas at Sutley's in Pierre for 20 cents/lb. and generic boost for E.E. at K-mart. In Highmore they loaded up on Tombstine stuffed crust pizza at Vlcek's where it was on sale at 2/$7.50.
