 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, November 17, 2004 VOL. III Issue 11I Weaning time on Ponderosa The Ponderosa started the weaning roundup on Tuesday morning. The roundup ended slightly before dinner on Wednesday morning. Not everything went as planned, but it's over for now. You never know when either the cows or calves break out to reunite. Darrel Hinkle decided the calves at his place should be moved north so a mother and child reunion there would mean a walk of 6-7 miles. The calves have not escaped as of yet, but a few cows did and went to mooing right by Harold Hinkle's bedroom window to hear him tell the tale. Darrel recruited Larry Nickleson and Ron Lafourtune to help on the second day. When it was all said and done, some of the wranglers were stiffer that Cialis patients. Hopefully for them the stiffness won't last for 36 hours either. Another casualty of note is Jerry Hinkle's unbreakable stick. He had it for 8 years, no problem. Darrel has it for 10 minutes and "The Unbreakable" was busted. As Red Green says, "If it ain't broke, you're not trying". Jerry Hinkle can't blame all of these events on the full moon because the moon is at present only a waxing crescent. Bonnie Nickleson Wins Sorting Stick At a banquet hosted by Doug Hageman DVM, Bonnie Nickleson won a door prize. It was a sorting stick. Bonnie's husband, Larry Nickleson, claims that if she can learn how to clean fish, she can learn how to sort cattle. Larry was concerned that she may use it on him. However she uses it, all of us here at the Holabird Advocate recommend that if she wants to keep it, she'd better not loan it out to Darel Hinkle. Memo to ABC: Make Up Your Mind by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Holabird Advocate Well, ABC, you really did it now. Last week, 66 of your network affiliates refuse to air "Saving Private Ryan" citing possible FCC fines for obscenity. Then on your Monday Night Football show, you decided to have Nicolette Sheridan give your watchers an eyeful in a promotion for "Desperate Housewives". A show that does not need promotion, as everyone who wants to watch it is already doing so. Having Ms. Sheridan give the boys a "Full Monty" shot was in very poor taste, her assets not withstanding. In my opinion, considering her age, she looks better fully clothed than just about any naked personage in the entertainment world. You have given not only yourself, but your supposedly family-friendly parent company, Walt Disney, a black eye. I expected better, and America deserves better from you, "America's Broadcasting Company", or so you claim. On the flip side, I do wish to pat you on the back for one thing you did right. Your broadcast of "Saving Private Ryan" was handled in as tastefully a manner as possible. The subject matter was a heavy one, to be sure. You did an excellent job in your presentation. If only more people could have seen it. I guess you can't win them all.
