 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, October 13, 2003 VOL. II Issue 10F MAKE AND BAKE CRAFT SHOW A SUCCESS The Highmore United Methodist Church took in around $2000 at the 11th annual Make and Bake Craft Show last Saturday. Of course that's gross, not net. Hopefully though, the church will net more than the $69 that the Historical Society did with their fundraiser. WEANING CONTINUES FOR HINKLE FAMILY Harold Hinkle spent the Columbus Day holiday weaning his cattle and having them hauled to his son Darrel's place, where they were vaccinated for the fall and put in with Darrel's other calves. Harold's cows are at the northwest corner of the Ponderosa, which is far enough not to keep everyone awake at night with their bawling. PHEASANT REPORT There have been a few pheasants found flying in the northern area of Hyde county. Very few at that. It is reported, however, that there is more than enough ducks to go around. Trouble is, nobody knows when duck season starts in South Dakota. LIMBAUGH IN REHAB: SAY IT AIN'T SO, RUSHBO by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Hoalbird Advocate This past week, I, as well as the rest of the Holabird Advocate staff, was shocked to learn about Rush Limbaugh's addiction to Oxycontin. Of course, the liberals were really laying it on thick, almost reveling in the news. That bothers me. After all, Mr. Limbaugh is human, just like anyone else. It takes a certain amount of courage to own up to your shortcomings the way he has. Bill Janklow and Bill Clinton could both learn a lot from him. Bouncing back from addiction is hard, for the addict, as well as the family of the addict. I have a few assorted relatives with addictions of one sort or another. Relatives that I have been powerless to help, mostly because they won't help themselves. All I could do is pray and wait, and that's really all I did do. Rush has a hard road ahead of him. A journey I wouldn't wish on anyone. Hopefully the destination will not be too far for him and his family. I will pray and wait for Rush and his family as well. I hope you, the Readers, will do the same.
