 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Friday, December 12, 2003 VOL. II Issue 12J JANKLOW PARDON POSSIBLE ROUNDS SAYS South Dakota Governor Mike Rounds has said that he may consider a pardon if the Board of Pardons and Paroles give it a favorable recommendation. "I'll follow the same guidelines for Bill Janklow that I would for anyone else." Rounds also remarked, "I consider Bill Janklow to be a friend, I've worked with him, I've seen him work very, very hard and I've seen him work long hours and seen him do very, very good things for the people of South Dakota." CADE HINKLE TO VISIT GRANDPARENTS Doug Hinkle and Noel Pothast will be going to Rapid City for Christmas shopping this weekend. They have asked to have Harold And Mary watch their son, Cade, also known as Cader Tater Terminator, during that time. That means another guest for the Nemec Christmas party tonight. It is not known how he will get back home. Cade's uncle, Jerry Hinkle said, "We just might have to keep him around and toughen the boy up a little. That kid has more allergies than that queer guy on 'Yes Dear' ". E.E. Hinkle had Jerry sweep up the floor in case Cade decided to start eating crumbs off of it. He never said it, but you can tell he is excited about having cade around. it isn't often that the oldest living Hinkle and the youngest living Hinkle get together. POETRY CORNER "I Saw Paris Hilton" by Jerry Hinkle I saw Paris. Not in France. Wish I saw some underpants. Those lowriders are so whack. Hey Paris! Just say "NO" to crack! WHERE IS DOCTOR ATKINS BEEF CHECK-OFF CHECK? by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Holabird Advocate If you're anything like me, you have been flabbergasted by the high price of beef and eggs as of late. Both spikes in price have been credited to (or blamed on, depending on your point of view) the world famous Atkins diet. If the people who hold the check-off check book had any scruples ( a mighty big "IF" that would be too) they should give the late doctors estate healthy cut of that $1/head that Americas Beef Producers kick in to that whenever they sell cattle at a sale barn near you. This diet has done more in 6 months for the cause of beef demand than the check-off has done in 15 years. What about Pork? Why isn't that price going throught the roof as well? Bringing home the bacon isn't a figure of speech anymore. Eggs are averaging 17 cents each in the Holabird Area. I don't know if eggs have a check-off, but it doesn't appear that they need one. Uncle Jake tells me that he and his wife, Verna Louise, are going to have eggs and bacon for Christmas dinner. Not being able to have toast with the bacon and eggs is taking its toll on Uncle Jake though. Having to forego turnips hasn't made the situation any better. At least he's not sleeping in the barn anymore.
