 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, October 15, 2003 VOL. II Issue 10G PHEASANT HUNTING PREPARATIONS UNDERWAY With the openning day of South Dakota's pheasant hunting season coming up, Agnes Hahn and her family have been busy getting ready for everything. Agnes has no more room in her house so if you don't have a confirmed resevation, you're out of luck. Hunters may be able to bunk with E.E. Hinkle, providing they can take the noises he makes. Boarders can make all the noise they desire. Mary Hinkle has laid in a supply of bread, lunchmeat, corn chips, cookies, soda, and wine (sorry, no beer) for the hunters who visit the Ponderosa. Rates are reportedly the same as last year, but are subject to change without notice. HOLABIRD LANDSCAPE CHANGES Ron LaFortune has been busy having rafters put on his new garage. It is not known if this construction project was approved by the Hyde County Zoning Board, but we at the Holabird Advocate dare those weasels to just try and tear it down. Our Publisher, the courageous, dynamic Jerry Hinkle has been quoted as saying. I will defend Ron and that garage with my last breath. Everyone around here knows that Jerry's breath is certainly a powerful weapon. Harold Hinkle spent the better part of this afternoon helping Ron with this project. Not with his breath, but with his back. Harold says it is an impressive sight. PLEDGE FIGHT TO GO TO SUPREME COURT It was announced on Tuesday that the Supreme Court will decide whether or not the Pledge of Allegience, which has been recited by countless American schoolchildren for years is unconstitutional. This case, Elk Grove Unified School District v. Newdow, came about when a father took the school district to task for "forcing" his 9 year old daughter to recite the Pledge. It was later discovered that his custody of the child was questionable. The Father, Dr. Michael Newdow, an atheist, supposedly took up the fight for a daughter who professes to be Christian, and lives with her mother, who is also a Christian. The fight is over the phrase "one nation under God". A phrase that has been part of the Pledge for almost 50 years. It was placed there in 1954 to set the world apart fom godless communism. It now appears that Dr. Newdow and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals want to change that. CUBS GET LAZY AFTER FAN CATCHES BALL by Jerry Hinkle, of the Holabird Advocate It's a case of much ado about nothing. Jerry Seinfeld will probably play the fan in the movie about this whole deal. The Chicago Cubs were ahead 3-0 in the 8th inning of Game 6 of the World Series playoff, when all of the sudden a fan in the stands does what a Chicago outfielder couldn't. Catch a fly ball. Instead of going on, the Cubs give up 8 runs and cry "Foul!" Little wonder they haven't won a World Series since the invention of radio. The Cubs better get smart and sign that fan up for the next season. They could be all done for this one. The Cubs fans for some reason blame this fan for losing their shot at victory. Last time the Cubs were this close, they blamed a goat for their loss. Baseball players and their fans sure have funny ideas, don't they.
