 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, August 18, 2003 VOL. II Issue 8J "A GOOD LAND" WOWS HYDE COUNTY The Buzz around Hyde County and the surrounding area was caused by the performances of "A Good Land" over the previous weekend. The play, which was written in two acts by Holabird's own Barbara Nemec, has been, for the most part warmly recieved. Some have called it "cheezy" in places, whatever that means. Of course, all of us at the Holabird Advocate like cheese Agnes Hahn stated to the home office that many of the experiences portrayed in the production were true to life, because she experienced them herself. She also said that she laughed and cried in all of the right places. She partictularly enjoyed the singing of Roger and Jordan Day, and was plesantly surpised at the singing talent of Mary Wortman and Marilyn Hanson. She said that even though Jerry told her they could sing, he never told her they could SING. Agnes wouldn't be surprised if other towns asked Barbara to put it on in their area as well. The author of " Good Land", Barbara Nemec said before the matinee performance,"This has been a dream come true for me. What I had pictured in my head has come to life." It must be said that Mrs. Nemec was very good natured about the amount of ad-libbing that took place in both performances. Not the least of which was done by our courageous dynamic Publisher, Jerry Hinkle, who along with Roger Day took to a convincing display of vebal gymnastics that had some believing to be a real fight (it's called acting, folks) For Jerry Hinkle the weekend was kind of an "Old Home Week" as he was able to meet up with old friends like Ed and Barbara Nemec's daughter Becky, who came from Montana to see the play, June Bentz from northern Hyde County, cousins Harlan and Delores Stoley as their housguest and youngest daughter Dona, who is visiting from Nebraska. Perhaps the audience member who came from the farthest was Pat Dugan of Brazil in South America. He is the brother of Richard Dugan, a former Pastor of the Methodist Church in Highmore. Pat we understand was a former minister in this area himself. Of all the people he talked to this weekeend there were two that he wishes could have been in the audience. His grandmother Bergit Hinkle, and his good friend Corky Day. "My grandma Bergit's dedication to the Historical Society is was captured my interest in this play." Jerry said, "As for Corky, He was a man that loved to laugh. If there are two things that could have improved the play, it would have been for Corky's laughter to ring the rafters and for me not to have 'dropped the coffee' at the Sunday afternoon performance." The Historical Society can laugh and cry all the way to the bank. With 80 paid dinner reservations, and several ticket sales, they did alright. The Holabird Advocate is currently seeking a videotape of both performances, but would prefer the opening night performance. JANKLOW IN INTERSECTION COLLISION Saturday afternoon there was a collision on the intersection of County Highways 13 and 14 in Moody County. Randy Scott, 53 of Hardwick, Minnesota was killed instantly when his motorcycle collided with Representitive Bill Janklow's Caddilac DeVille. Janklow was driving his car when the collision occured. It has been reported that he had been wearing wearing a safty belt. His previous driving record is being looked at. He has had a reputation for driving just a little bit faster that the law allows. Scott was not wearing a helmet at the time of impact. ON THE ROAD AGAIN by Hiram Gonagan Harold and Mary Hinkle left for their vacation on Thursday afternoon. Among their activities was a shopping trip to the Rushmore Mall and a visit to the home of Jon and Janette Wermers in Spearfish. They arrived back home at the Ponderosa at about 3pm. The didn't come alone. They brought Kaitlyn Pothast with them, much to Jerry's disgust. at 5pm they left the Pondrosa to go backto Pierre for a GRHS meeting. They Took Kaitlyn along and Jerry hopes that she will be left in Pierre this time.
