 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Tuesday, December 23, 2003 VOL. II Issue 12Q MAD COW BITES WASHINGTON A possible case of BSE, also known as "Mad Cow Disease" may have been spotted on a ranch outside of Yakima Washington. This according to U.S. Secretary of Agriculture, Ann Veneman in a statement that she made today. The cow is a holstien, which is a dairy breed, and as such did not enter the American food supply. Further testing needs to be done. It is not known if this ailment travells in milk, but the government isn't worried about it, nobody else should be either. KENNEDYS TO HAVE "BIG POW-WOW" E.E. Hinkle reports that his oldest daughter, Mavis Kennedy told him that he was going to have a "big pow-wow", and a "jamboree" on Christmas. Mavis later reported to the Holabird Advocate that she will have a big crowd of 30 people at the Kennedy mansion. It was also reported by the 101 year old E.E. that Mary Hinkle has something in the works, although she has yet to come up with a report to that effect. METHODISTS GET READY TO SAY "HELLO EARL" Even though some of the Methodist congregation may me Dixie Chicks fans, they still have to greet Earl. It's just that this is a family whose last name is Earl. Janine Earl, her husband and two children will be the parish family for BHH for the year, starting on January 4, 2004. The first order of business for the Methodists was to repair the cement work in the basement of the Parsonage. This was professionally done by Mark Van Zee. Another project was ripping out the carpet that they spent $750 to clean, and pulling up the staples. Among the Methodist workers is Holabird's own Harold and Mary Hinkle, who have been hard at it Monday night and Tuesday afternoon. TRACK SANTA WITH NORAD Since 1955, the North American Aeospace Defense Command(NORAD) has been tracking the Movements of Santa Claus. We don't know how they do it, but they have "Santa cams" in several different locations around the world. It seems that the taxpayer wants NORAD to track Santa as well as look for Russian missiles and other traveling objects in outer space. The Holabird Advocate has a link to the Santa Tracker on the Free Links page. Between 8pm-2am Holabird time on Christmas Eve, the web site will keep tabs on Santa Claus. As an extra bonus, the site has Christmas music supplied by our Publishers favorite Beatle, Ringo Starr. There's no word on if Santa will skip your house if you stay up all night looking at this sight, so use your best judgement when visiting this site.
