 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, August 04, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 8C PETA Makes Fish Stink in New York Once again showing their ignorance, the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is calling for the town of Fishkill, NY to change its name. The Poughkeepsie Journal reports that PETA wants the town to be known as FishingHurts.com, which just happens to be the Internet address for a PETA web site dedicated to the group's, "fish empathy project.'' Fishkill officials weren't biting Wednesday. The name Fishkill is actually derived from two Dutch words: Vis, for fish, and Kill, for stream or creek. PETA acknowledges the true meaning of the name, but said most who see Fishkill on a map wouldn't know that. PETA also offered to donate 15-thousand dollars worth of a soy-based, faux-fish product for school students in the town if the name is changed. Also showing their ignorance is the human rights, People Ingesting Tasty Animals. They want the Homestake mine to change it's name to Beefstake because people will think that folks around Lead-Deadwood grill houses to eat them. Some PITA members have even threatened to involve State Senator (and suspected PITA member) Frank Kloucek if their demands are not met. Perhaps Senator Kloucek can at explain to them that Homestake is no longer in business, and hasn't been for a while. Hansen Gets Rollin' On the River Do Over Last year, Professor Ken Hansen begged a few of his friends and relatives to get together for a Rollin' on the River fishing get together. After said begging, he took a teaching job in China and missed the whole thing. This year, he's ready to do it for real, or is that reel. Harold and Darrel Hinkle are so anxious to get him in the water, they are planning to get up at 6 am to take him north of Pierre. Jerry Hinkle hopes they don't get him up for that. Bonnie Nickleson was hoping to get a camping spot next to Lake Oahe. If that is done, Doug Hinkle offered his parents the use of his camper, since Noel Pothast is having a rummage sale that weekend. Anyone in the Pierre area who goes to that sale is asked to check out Kaitlin Pothast's Lemonade stand. She claims she will also sell cookies and hamburgers. Not just any hamburgers, but PITA approved hamburgers. Hooking Update by Ethan Aniston Holabird Advocate Entertainment Editor Well, Amy from South Dakota surprised me tonight. She managed to dump two guys in this week's episode of "Hooking Up". At least she didn't "play doctor" with the doctor. Right in the middle of the 4th episode, she decided to take a break from dating for awhile, then she was gone. If she's not back by next week, I might be gone too. Darrel Hinkle claims that "Hooking Up" is a stupid show, and he's right. Jerry Hinkle told me that his brother didn't exactly quit watching it right away either. Harold Hinkle says one can't always go by Darrel's taste in TV either, as he's been known to watch so real crap in his time as well. Yes, "Hooking Up" is not the best thing on TV, but it knocks the socks of "Pimp my Bike".
