 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, November 22, 2004 VOL. III Issue 11L Thanksgiving Preparations Underway America is getting ready once again for the one day they set aside to give thanks for the many blessings they have enjoyed from their creator. Agnes Hahn is getting the garbage disposal in her sink ready for a big workout. Her big decision, Draino or Liquid Plummer. Mary Hinkle has been busy getting her house in order as well. She has given the whole place a right going over. George and Mavis Kennedy are expected sometime late Tuesday. Kassidee Kennedy and Danielle Kline aren't going to make it at all, but promised they will be out at a later date. Among those expected on Thursday morning are Doug and Cade Hinkle, and Noel, Jaime, Ashley, and Kaitlin Pothast. Those expected on Thursday afternoon or possibly evening are Ken and Joyce Ferris. Nobody else is expected, but anyone inclined to come over is welcome. Who knows, you might even get to eat something. Highmore Methodists Host Thanksgiving Service Usually the Lutheran Church in Highmore hosts the Community Thanksgiving Service. This year the Methodists are taking a shot at it. Mary Hinkle is making cookies for the event and Jerry Hinkle has volunteered to help out with the service. All in the area are invited to attend. Let's Go See the DVD by Jerry Hinkle Special to the Holabird Advocate While sifting throughout the bargain bin at the local Piggly-Wiggly, I found a Collectors Series DVD of the TV classic, "The Little Rascals", known in movie theaters as "Our Gang". For the low price of $7.99, I could watch VOL 9&10 of this series. I Jumped right on it. I watched the Little Rascals as a boy on the "Captain 11" show on Keloland TV after school, but never like this. Some scenes in these movies were restored that hadn't been seen for over 40 years. One particular scene I could have done without is a shot of Spanky's bare rear end. In "For Pete's Sake". Some things in the series may seem dated. Heck, they are dated. It really doesn't matter, because the comedy is timeless. This was proven to me when I screened it for my 7 year old niece Brittany. She liked the Surprise Cake scene in "Birthday Blues" when the cake made the "ooh wow" sound. She also liked the dancing throughout the DVD. Her favorite bit was the dialog in the following from "Mush And Milk" Cap: What river is known as, "The Father of Waters"? Stymie: We give up! Cap: The Mississippi. Stymie: How can Mississippi be the Father? You must mean Mister Sippi. (grins) Spanky: Mississippi is the Mama. Not all of the 8 movies on the DVD are that good, but Brit wanted to see it all again. In an age where everything antimatter is crammed down the kids' throats, it's good to see that they can enjoy watching live people at least once in a while. Try it with kids or without. Hey, even you big kids deserve a good laugh now and then. Until next time, remember to treat your DVD like it is made of glass, because after all, it is.
