It's said that "God moves in mysterious ways." Lately He has been leaning on Jerry Hinkle to lead the music at the Methodist Church in Highmore. Despite being a minister in the Universal Life Church, Jerry finds time to take in the Methodist church service. In fact, he hardly misses the Sunday service. Apparently it's not enough. He tried to get out of it, but Jerry was told that there was a place on the sign-up sheet just for him. So Jerry looked at the sign-up sheet, and sure enough, there it was. A bare spot for "Music" on May 22.

Jerry claims he doesn't know why he was chosen for this task. After all, Mary Hinkle is the first to admit that her son has no talent at all. This mysterious way will unfold tomorrow.

This is the free fishing weekend for South Dakota. Larry and Bonnie Nickleson, are camped out at West Bend, just biding their time to catch the big one. Harold Hinkle has no plans to avail himself of the free fish in South Dakota's waters. He claims that it's too windy to fish. He spent most of Saturday getting his pickup, camper, and boat ready for when the weather suites him. As for Larry and Bonnie, all of us here at the Holabird Advocate hope and pray they do catch the mythical big one if for no other reason than to show up Harold. Mike Luze has but Harold onto a boat he thinks might tickle his fancy, but so far Harold isn't biting on that either.
The Ditty Bops Play to Packed House
Despite huge crowds at the theaters playing Star Wars Episode III, Special Holabird Advocate correspondent Oddjob claims Tangier's in Los Feliz, CA was the place to be. The ditty Bops were packing them in pretty good for another show. This show had a "Prom" theme. Our courageous dynamic Publisher got a good look at some of Oddjob's photos, which he later managed to download to the Holabird Advocate Photo Center. He also managed to upload some of those that Fixit Man took in Pioneertown. We have to be selective because there is only room for 50 pictures under 150 KB.
