 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Saturday, August 30, 2003 VOL. II Issue 8T JOYCE FERRIS IMPROVES BUT STILL TIRED It looks like the third day of a 24 hour flu for Joyce Ferris. She has not been feeling the best in those three days. Joyce ate a few apricots last night, and made and ate breakfast this morning. She is still quite tired, but has not thrown up in the last 24 hours. JANKLOW CHARGES GO NATIONAL Charges steming from the August 16 crash involving Representitive Bill Janklow, most notably the felony charge of second degree manslaughter, have all in the meda speculating on the future of both Jankow and his seat in Congress. If he is convicted, Janklow will serve a maximum of 10 years and pay a fine of $10,000 at most. He would also be before the House Ethics Commitee and posibly lose his seat, unless he would happen to resign first. In the event Janklow's seat is vacated, the Governor, in this case Mike Rounds, would call for an election 90 days from Janklow's removal. The winner of said election would finish out the term. Political scientists all over the state claimthat the Democrats would almost certainly run Stephanie Herseth, while Republicans have such notables as Barb Everist (whoever she is) willing to step into the ring. Ms. Herseth was unable to comment on this situation because she is spending the Labor Day weekend with special friend, Max Sandlin in Texas. Mr. Sandlin, as it turns out, is a Democratic U.S. Representitive from the 1st Congressional District of Texas. Of course, should there be an election, and should Ms. Herseth run, the Publisher and the staff of The Holabird Advocate would be behind her 200%, even if John Thune was Running. POP STAND RAN BY YOUTHS CLOSED DOWN BY POLICE by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Holabird Advocate I was outraged to hear that enterprising youths Mikaela and Annika Zeigler, ages 7 and 4 respectively, of St. Paul Minnesota were not allowed by police to operate a refreshment stand near the Minnesota State Fair for lack of a $60 business license. The girls father, Dr. Richard Zeigler was likewise angry, and called on City Hall to explain, and was told the police are cracking down on unauthorized merchants. At this point he called this laughable and tragic, stating that the girls cleared all of $13 in this endeavor. The children had been in business for a total of four days before St. Paul's finest shut down their racket, which offered, lemonade, orange juice, water, and soda. On behalf of the the City of Holabird, I invite the Zeigler family to move here. We could use a Doctor around here, and there's no $60 licenses for refreshment stands. PUBLISHER'S NOTES by Jerry Hinkle It's been a wild and crazy month, but it's almost over. With the play, Janklow's crash, and Joyce getting sick, a lot happened in the Holabird area in August 2003! The Poll for August was interesting, next month's promises to be more so as we see if you, the Readers think I could take on W. Of course you have until Monday to vote in this month's poll. Perhaps Joseph Lieberman or someone else will join in the fun for next month's poll as well. I plan to bring back, "Let's go to the Videotape" next month. This time I will personally view a movie on videotape and let you know if it's good or bad. Perhaps one of you Readers would like to recommend a good movie on video or warn us about a real stinker. I'd welcome that too. The home office of the Holabird Advocate will be open on Labor Day, but just long enough to change the poll and the masthead. I don't want to risk missing The Jerry Lewis Telethon when Norm Crosby is on. As you remember from last year, I think he's the funniest man alive today. See Ya'll next month.
