 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Saturday, December 13, 2003 VOL. II Issue 12K PROSPECTIVE SPONSOR COMES FORWARD Holabird Advocate Publisher Jerry Hinkle has announced a possible corporate sponsor for an audblog service for the Holabird Advocate. It is not known how much of the $36/year fee this sponsor will pony up. "We are looking for other sponsors to spread the financial burden", Publisher Hinkle said. A test was performed last Monday on the audblog program that was downloaded by the Newsblog. some were impressed, others were not. Among the latter group is Harold Hinkle, who sees little practical merit in the service. this is not surprising, however, as he sees little practical merit in the Holabird Advocate as it is. The Holabird Advocate Publisher has decided to keep all options open. If there is an overwhelming desire to add an audblog service, it could become a real possibility. NEMEC CHRISTMAS PARTY BRINGS COMMUNITY TOGETHER The 2003 Nemec Christmas party was held at 6pm last evening. Dinner was started excactly at 7pm as stated in the invitation. The firmness that the invitation showed worked as few of the people that did show came in late. The highlight of the meal was the ham. It was cooked to perfection. There must have been leftover punch, as Holabird Advocate Publisher spent most of the time drinking coffee. The children that were present behaved reasonably well. Those with attention spans not conducive to watching videos were masterfully handled by guest, Jackie St. John, who, it can be assumed is looking for babysitting work. She won't be looking long. Discussions ranged from memories of Mac Zilverberg, Bud Hahn, and the old timers who ran the Pool Hall in Highmore years ago. There was also talk about all of the different livestock salebarns that have been having financial trouble around the state and the grain elevator under construction in Highmore as well. Carol Zilverberg showed off the construction paper Christmas tree that she made as part of the arts and crafts portin of the evening to Jerry Hinkle. There were other ladies who participated in this endevor, but did not see the need to show off their handiwork. A card game broke out with the men when Ed Nemec brought out out a new deck of cards. If anybody cheated, they were not caught. Of course, it's the ones who cheat that care about winning the most. The true spirit of Christmas was displayed that evening. It was a time of true "Peace on Earth and goodwill to all". At least on the Nemec's part. Barbara had asked Jerry Hinkle to mention the party so that her kids that were far away could read about it on the Holabird Advocate. It is needless to say he was going to mention it anyhow. THUNE DECISION AWAITED, BUT NOT ANTICIPATED According to the Keloland net poll, several hundred people have an opinion as to what John Thune, former U.S. House of Representitives member, will do in the next election cycle. a little over one-third of those who care think that he should run for his old seat in the House. a little ove one-fourth believe he should run for Senate against Tom Daschle. a whopping 42% believe that he should stay out of politics. thune says thgat a decision about his political future will be forthcoming.
