 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, December 29, 2003 VOL. II Issue 12T KENNEDYS TO ARRIVE TUESDAY Instead of going back to Arizona, George and Mavis Kennedy will be staying at the Ponderosa for a spell while Harold and Mary Hinkle go to Cancun, Mexico. It is not known how long the Kennedys will be there, but Harold and Mary are due back by January 12. Anyone needing to contact George and Mavis can do so by e-mailing the home office of the Holabird Advocate or calling (605) 852-2543. Don't be surprized if a cranky 101 year old hard of hearing guy answers. MAD COW'S CANADIAN ROOTS INVESTIGATED The USDA is looking into the possibility that the case of BSE found in the Yakima, Washington area could have had it's root in a ranch in the Province of Alberta, Canada. Confirmation of this origin will take place by weeks end. TOP TEN NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS OF HOLABIRD ADVOCATE PUBLISHER, JERRY HINKLE FOR 2004 by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Holabird Advocate Yes, it is that time of year where we throw out the old and bring in the new. It is also the time when we all make those resolutions. You know, "exercise, go on a diet, quit smoking, drinking and writing bad checks". Well, none of that mundane stuff for me. No way! I'm going to make some challenging, but doable new year's resolutions. At the end of 2004, I'll publish how I did. That said, FROM THE HOME OFFICE IN HOLABIRD, SOUTH DAKOTA, HERE ARE THE TOP TEN NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS OF ME, JERRY HINKLE, FOR 2004 1. Get an interview with Stephanie Herseth ( it may be easier to exercise, but this is meant to be a challenge) 2. Be less judgemental about my mother's wine drinking (another toughie, but it is a personal growth exercise) 3. Now that my brother Doug has been named "Firefighter of the Year" for 2003, encourage him to be "Husband of the Year" for 2004 4. Keep the light of Justice, Freedom, Wisdom, Truth, and Love shining all year 5. Take better care of Grandad (it's gonna be a long year) 6. Take a vacation this year (Did you hear that Mavis?) 7. Be more tolerant of Oprah (this year I learned to quit hating Janklow, let's see if I can do the same with Oprah) 8. Make Audblog work for the Holabird Advocate 9. Endorse a Democrat for President 10. As I try to do each and every one of these things over the next 12 months to remember what Grandad always says, "Just do the best you can"
