 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Saturday, December 27, 2003 VOL. II Issue 12S E.E. HINKLE TAKES SECOND TUMBLE It's almost becoming a Christmas ritual with E.E. Hinkle to fall over. On the second day of Christmas (yesterday) he was walking toward the phone in his living room with no lights on to answer it when he fell over. E.E. didn't spend two hours on the floor this time, because a few minuytes later Jerry Hinkle went in to check on his grandfather. His pulse was taken and read to be 40.The old boy didn't, and still doesn't, appear to be nor have been dizzy. Jerry is checking on him regularly. ANNE HANSEN TO OBSERVE 24TH BIRTHDAY Because of a rather nasty illness on her birthday two months ago, Anne Hansen was prevented from celebrating her 24th birthday on the actual date of her birth. Since Christians don't celebrate the birth of Jesus on his birthday, and since Americans don't always celebrate the birthdays of George Washington and Martin Luther King on their birthdate, she decided that she wanted to celebrate tonight. It is not known how many will attend this celebration, which is to be held at one of the casinos on the reservation south of Highmore, but we do know that Jerry Hinkle preffers to stay at home with his grandfather, E.E. tonight. MAD COW CAME FROM CANADA It has been reported that the mad cow from the Yakima, Washington area was imported from Canada. This is not a valid excuse for why it is in this country, but it is the only excuse our government has. American beef has really took a hit from this current scare. People are afraid to eat beef. Even in South Dakota the consumption has declined 51%. There is even a ban on products made with cattle such as soap. This country is turning into France. The mainsteam media isn't helping. The Holabird Advocate is trying to help guide the world through this crisis, but we only have 2500 Readers. Hopefully you, the Reader, can help spread the word that beef is safe, especially when you know where it comes from. This is why we need the Country Of Origin Labeling bill to go through. Perhaps you can write your Representative in Congress. If you don't know your Representative's name, contact the Holabird Advocate with your ZIP code, and we'll track it down for all interested parties. DON'T LET THE LIGHT GO OUT by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Holabird Advocate This is the third day of Christmas, it is also the last day of Hannukah. At sundown tonight Hannukah will end. This Holiday is called the "Festival of Lights". Christmas is the Christian's "Festival of Lights". Jesus has been called "The light of the world" . The Jewish tradition has it that the evil Antiochus slaughtered most of the Hebrews in Jeruselam. After 3 year struggle with the Syrian tyrant, he was defeated by the Maccabees, led by Judah. They rebuilt the temple and lit the mennorah. Although there was a days worth of oil it burned for 8 days. Light has several meanings today it stands for love, justice, fredom, and truth. The light from all four of these should burn in our hearts all year around. Every one of us can be a becon of light to conquer the darkness of tyranny. We have to keep the light lit to do it. It's not an easy proposition, but nothing truly worth doing is easily done. But we can still try. It is truly amazing how much light burns from one candle. Light a candle and see for yourself some time.
