Cam Cowan of Holabird died Sunday morning after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer. She was one of the several cousins of Holabird Advocate Publisher, Jerry Hinkle. She will be missed by all of her family and friends who were inspired by her plucky courage. Some say that her passing was a blessing in disguise, but it still hurts those left behind. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate refuse to say that God took her. It was the devil that took her, but God took her home. We offer to her friends and family our sympathy and most heartfelt condolences at this time of their grief.

Cam's funeral will be at the Hyde County Memorial Auditorium on March 28 at 10:30. Her official obituary will be forthcoming.

Once again, the Valley Township Board of Supervisors met at the Ponderosa. Mary Hinkle has unanimously elected as Township Clerk-Treasurer. She will be doing the job of two men, which is not that big of an adjustment for her. Constable Jerry Hinkle asked for a $1000 grant to study the prairie dog problem in Valley Township. The motion died for lack of a second. Other issues discussed were weed control, township bonds, and high property taxes.

The Holabird Advocate is now storing 33 MB of G-mail. Not much new stuff. Perhaps the most interesting was a job offer that looks too good to be true. It seems that someone wants people to eat at McDonald's restaurants This individual is looking to pay for someone to eat there to the tune of from $10-$40. Our Publisher believes he is qualified for this position. Some may say he is over-qualified.
