Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, May 12, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 5F Ellsworth Faces Closure Once again, Ellsworth Air Force Base is in Jeopardy of closing. This is not the first time EAFB has been on the chopping block. One almost thinks that someone is crying "WOLF" about this current round of closings. Of course, there are other bases involved. Two such others in North Dakota are the Grand Forks Base and the one in Jerry Hinkle's former home town of Minot. California Hinkles Cancel Trip It was with a heavy heart that Don Hinkle called the Ponderosa today to say that he and wife LaRayne Hinkle would not be coming to visit later on this month. Health concerns have come up. Nothing life threatening, issues of comfort mostly. Don and LaRayne's grandson, Stryder Impyn, was understandably disappointed, but will spend his vacation time with them anyhow, just not in South Dakota. Holabird Advocate Wrongly Reports Names of the Bride and Groom in Konrad Wedding Fact checkers? We don't need them here at the Holabird Advocate. WRONG! Kristi Hinkle reported that she will be handling the flowers for the Konrad wedding in August. She assumed, incorrectly as it turns out, that the bride was Sara Konrad. The bride is in fact Sara's older sister, Emily Konrad. No word on who the groom is. We are quite sure that it isn't anyone with the last name of LaFourtune, however. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate regret the error and our courageous dynamic Publisher takes full responsibility for this lapse in news quality. We can only promise to do better in the future. We also with Ms. Emily and her groom well in their forthcoming marriage. They will have the best flowers in the tri-county area. Emily's Mother, Connie Fischer Konrad grew up in Holabird and became Hyde County Auditor. You really can go anywhere from here. The Ditty Bops Steal the Show Jerry Hinkle claims that The Ditty Bops really stole the show at the live broadcast of A Prairie Home Companion last week in Mitchell. This is nothing new to them, as Jerry found out in a story about them on the internet from a show they played a few months ago. One of the highlights of the evening entertainment came when one irritated crowd member shouted for the Ditty Bops to "get off the stage," to which they responded by playing a tune that began, "Hey, Little Man," which garnered laughter and applause from the rest of the crowd. You can't buy class like that from any charm school in the world.
