 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, December 20, 2004 VOL. III Issue 12I Harold Hinkle Alarms His Family After seeing the news story about the 3 kids who died in a Sioux Falls house fire, Harold Hinkle considered getting a newer smoke alarm. So, when he went to Pierre a few days ago, he purchased a brand new smoke detector. He has not installed it in the house yet, but rather tests it frequently by striking matches and holing them next to the unit. It appears to be working. When it does get installed Mary Hinkle can grill steak in the oven, and then she will know when they are done. Geitzenauers Send Christmas Letter For the first time in a couple of years, Greg and Susan Geitzenauer have sent out a Christmas letter. It appears that with work and children, they are both quite busy. All are doing well in the "Big G" House, or so it appears. We are all glad to ear that. Our Publisher learned quite a bit by reading the letter they send. First off he's been spelling Clare's name wrong for quite some time (the correct spelling appears to be Claire, which we will try to keep on file. But hey! He has never spelt Geitzenauer wrong. Not even the Blogger Spell Check can say that). Secondly, our Publisher has also learned that the idea of moving to Norway has crossed their minds since the election. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate hope that they visit awhile before any such move. Could be they'll change their minds after about three weeks of lefsa and lutefisk. Actually, he feels that they might as well be living there since he hardly see them in Holabird. Our courageous dynamic Publisher, Jerry Hinkle has on occasion wondered what it would be like to go to Stavenger, Norway and tread the soil (or is it "trod"?) that his great- grandfather, Knute Haiwick was so eager to get away from all those years ago. "One thing I gotta give Susan", stated Jerry, "is that at least she seems to have a grasp on the Norwegian Language. That's half the battle right there". W named "Time Magazine's Man of the Year"? by Jerry Hinkle, Special to the Holabird Advocate I really don't get it. "Time" Magazine made President Bush their "Man of the Year". Why is that? Just because he was re-elected President? Must have been a short list this year. This is not the first time W has received this "honor". He got it in 2000 as well. That time he did get it because he was elected. The Holabird Advocate selected the American voter to receive this honor on their behalf. In all modesty I must say we chose better. Say what you will about W, but he was elected President only because of the voters. Oh well, better luck next year "Time"! That makes the score 2-1 in our favor in case anyone is keeping score.
