 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Friday, November 14, 2003 VOL. II Issue 11H E.E. HINKLE'S FOLLOW-UP SCHEDULED FOR DEC 4 The hinkle family will hopefully know more about what they are dealing with concerning their patriach, 101 year old E.E. Hinkle, soon. Besides the possibility of cancer there may be something wrong with his kidneys. They have made an appointment for him with some sort of specialist. The concern is that while E.E. doesn't drink a lot of water, he makes a lot of trips to the bathroom. Also of concern is his pulse. It has been hovering between 38-40. According to Holabird Advocate Medical Advisor Mel Practice M.D. his pulse should be 60-80. E.E. Hinkle has been in some tough spots before. Perhaps he'll come out of this one as well JANKLOW EXPLAINS HUNTING LICENSE FLAP Congressman Bill Janklow describes the mix-up over an in-state hunting license he granted to lobbyist Eric Washburn as "Just another thing that didn't work out very good". Janklow says Washburn played a key role in improving the Missouri River. The congressman granted the license in the late 1990s while he was governor. He says he thought he had the power to do it. Janklow says, "I was just trying to do a good deed. To me this isn't that different from people that do heroic things to help someone outside the country, there are way we can reward them, things we can do for them." Washburn hunted elk with the license last month and that launched a federal investigation. Governor Mike Rounds has since asked him to stop using it. According to Harold Hinkle, local expert on South Dakota Hunting and fishing, only South Dakota residents can get this particular coveted elk license. Even then there is a drawing process, sort of a lottery in which not everyone who wants it gets one. It costs $100 to apply, which is refunded should the hunter not recieve the license with which to hunt the South Dakota elk. He believes that out of state hunters can get the an elk hunting license in South Dakota for $250. SERVING TWO MASTERS SURE IS HARD ISN'T IT by Jerry Hinkle, of the Holabird Advocate Jesus once said, "Man can not serve two masters. He will love one and hate the other". I love God, but I also love my country. There's my problem. I have been caught in a conflict of interests. As a Christian I don't like the way that some have reacted to the Ten Commandments monument that Judge Roy Moore displayed in the Supreme Courthouse in Montgomery, Alabama. By that I mean the supporters of the monument. One of "The Ten" says not to worship a graven image. These people didn't read the monument nor did they practice it's meaning. I heard one supporter shout "Give us back our God". These people are, I believe, are not worshiping God, but the monument. Nevermind that the U.S. Supreme court also displays the Ten Commandments, that is not the issue. As an American, however, I believe that the monument should have stood as a testament to Judge Moore's Freedom of Expression. His Constitutional right to express his religious views freely. As an American, I believe that Judge Moore should not have been removed from the bench. This is the same bench that he was elected to by 85% of the voters in Alabama. Talk about thwarting Democracy. As I said, I love God and I love America. Do I have to make a choice? I really don't want to go to Canada or some other country to worship God. I hope I won't have to. Otherwise I'll have to change name of the Holabird Advocate to the Possum Lake Movement. Believe me, nobody wants that.
