 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, January 31, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 1S Flu Hits Hinkles Hard Over the weekend The Hinkle family was hit by a fast spreading flu virus. Earlier in the week, Shelby and Justin Hinkle had it. It was passed on to Darrel Hinkle, who was so sick he didn't go bowling Thursday night. Brittany Hinkle had a 104 degree fever, which as since broken. Harold Hinkle caught it at about 3 am Saturday morning. Mary Hinkle gave in 12 hours later. Even Jerry Hinkle was not immune. He was watching over his grandfather, 102 year old E.E. Hinkle, at his place when he was struck. The whole house smelled so severely of vomit and other flu related scents that Mary Hinkle sprayed it down with Febreeze. E.E. Is the only Hinkle so far who has not caught this virus. Let's hope he stays flu free. Mary Hinkle rallied on Sunday morning to the point where she was able to make breakfast for her father-in-law. She even ate a bowl of oatmeal. That afternoon, she threw it up. She was in such pain afterward that Harold had to take her to the emergency room in Pierre. They waited there for more than an hour as people were stacked 8 deep. In fact there was a line to get in the emergency room. Mary was attended by Harold's cousin, Mary Ellen Kleinsasser. There were test taken shots given and then she was sent home to bed, where she stayed all night and into Monday morning. She was feeling good enough to drink tea and work on her taxes. Hinkles Receive Word of Death Ed Wallis reported the death of his Mother-in-law. She died as the result of a car accident early Sunday morning. She hit a tree while driving. She also had a stroke. It is not known if the accident caused the stroke, or if the stroke caused the accident. Ed is Harold Hinkle's cousin, the son of E.E. Hinkle's sister Myrtle Wallis. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate extend our sympathy to Ed and his wife Donna Wallis at this time. Long Week For South Dakota's Statehouse South Dakota lawmakers are back in Pierre today for the fourth week of the annual legislative session. This week is going to be a long one. Legislators are scheduled to meet through Saturday, one of the two Saturdays that they'll work this year. Roughly one-third of the annual lawmaking session has passed. Today is the 14th day of the 40-day session. So far, 394 bills have been introduced, which is 230 bills short of average. Publisher's Notes by Jerry Hinkle Holabird Advocate Publisher I'm still on a natural high from having a Holabird Advocate article printed in the South Dakota Magazine's blog. I couldn't be more pleased if I had been paid for it. Closer to home, February is going to be an interesting month. Highmore's troubles on the exotic dancing issue will be coming to a head early on. We'll have someone there to get to the meat of the story. While in Pierre, my mother picked up all kinds of $1 DVD's. I'll have a few reviews in before the month is over. Next month's poll question will be based on the fact that Michael Jackson's trial is beginning. I thought I'd like to see how the trial would play out among Holabird Advocate Readers. You, the Reader will be asked if he is Guilty or Innocent (make that Not Guilty, as even I don't believe he's innocent). That's all for this month. See you in February!
