 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Friday, November 07, 2003 VOL. II Issue 11D NEMEC COMES IN SECOND AT "FEAR FACTOR" COMPETITION Holabird residents do have a young lady we can be quite proud of in the "Fear Factor" department. Ana Nemec was beat out only by Scott Wheelhouse of Highmore in the last event of a Fear Factor competition by a few seconds. The event was bobbing for apples with a garter snake. Scott got his apple first, only by the advantage that the stem did not break off like Ana's did. As it was it only took her 5 seconds to retrieve her apple from the tub with the snake in it. Perhaps a rematch with a rattler in the tub is in order. All of us at the Holabird Advocate predict that young Wheelhouse would crap in his pants at the thought of it. Maybe Ana would too. Ana's Mother, Mary Jo Nemec, provided the play by play for this event. She also provided our courageous, dynamic Publisher with a web site address that Ana is working on. Inthe interest of her privacy, it will not be revealed by us. Ana is more than welcome to put it on the "Free for All" links page when she feels ready to open it up to the public. One thing we know for sure is that she could do wonders if she worked for the Holabird Advocate. We couldn't afford her though. JUSTIN HINKLE TURNS 2 With Justin Hinkle's second birthday Saturday. The Hinkle's are celebrating on Friday night. It is unknown if E.E. Hinkle will be joining in the festivities because of the late hour. Today also marks the 72nd anniversary of his wedding to Bergit Hinkle. SCIENTIFIC POLL SHOWS HERSETH'S CHANCES FOR REPRESENTATIVE 11/06/2003 It's still a year away, but what if the 2004 election were held today, who would you vote for in South Dakota's U.S. House race? While there are a lot of unknowns, there's a lot of jockeying for position. South Dakota's House race will possibly have three well known possible candidates, a former Congressman, an up and coming Democrat and an incumbent facing criminal charges. With Congressman Janklow facing manslaughter charges, his political future is uncertain and U.S. House Seat up for grabs. If Janklow runs for re-election, he'd have a tough time defeating the person he beat in 2002, Democratic candidate Stephanie Herseth. According to a Keloland TV/Sioux Falls Argus Leader scientific poll, if the election were held today, Herseth would defeat Janklow this time and quite handily, 57% to 29% with 14% undecided. But Herseth would have a much tougher fight if former congressman John Thune decides to run again. According to this poll, Thune would defeat Herseth by 7% of the vote, handing her her second loss in two years, which analysts say could put her political future in jeopardy. Although he lost his senate bid last year, Thune's popularity remains strong. Poll data shows that he has a favorable rating of 54% compared to Herseth's 47%. The poll was conducted for Keloland and the Sioux Falls Argus Leader by Mason-Dixon Polling & Research. The company contacted 400 South Dakota voters last Thursday through Sunday.
