 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, August 08, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 8E Anthrax Hits Close to Home There have been confirmed cases of anthrax south of Holabird. Ben Coughlin found a dead deer by the side of the road near his place in Valley Township. The deer was tested for anthrax, and came up positive. There is a vaccine for anthrax, but it is most effective when used in May or June. OOPS! It can be used at any time, but it takes 4-5 weeks before it works. When all else fails, all of us here at the Holabird Advocate recommend prayer. PITA Renamed Once Again The human rights group, People Ingesting Tasty Animals, is changing it's name to People Eating Delicious Animals, or PEDA. It's a good thing they didn't order the t-shirts yet. The reason for the name change is because an English major reported top them that there is no such word as "ingesting". In the interest of good grammar, the name will be changed. Corrections and Apologies It appears that not only did Mary Jo Nemec not get a big job at the Highmore Healthcare Center, but she didn't even apply for the job. No problem. Mary Jo has a job that she loves already working with a medically fragile child in his home. The rewards of which are great. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate are humbled that we let idle gossip pass for hard news. We most profusely apologize to Mary Jo, her current employer, and The Highmore Healthcare Center. Everything has worked out to be as it should, for now. In an unrelated matter, Diane Macek is still cancer free. Nemecs Get Set to Go Away Nick, Mary Jo, Brigette Nemec will be headed to Colorado next week for a little vacation. Ana and Erin Nemec will be at home to keep an eye out for intruders, fire and wayward cows. Hopefully there will not be any beer parties. If there are, perhaps they'd better give the Ponderosa Pines Old Age Assistance Home and Alcohol Rehabilitation Center. After 28 days of changing a 103 year old mans pants, anyone should loose the taste for beer, or any other kind of booze for that matter. Is the Lady of the House Reading After several days, we have noticed that somebody at house.gov is reading the Holabird Advocate on a semi-regular basis. Could it be that we have finally won the attention of Ms. Herseth now that we no longer desire it. Maybe it's just our old friend Russ Levsen making sure we don't hurt the good Representative's reputation (Who, us?). Perhaps it's only some minimum wage flunky getting paid to read our little Newsblog like the FBI agents do. In any case, All of us here at the Holabird Advocate hope that Rep. Herseth would like to be the second person we ask 10 questions of, providing South Dakota War College doesn't get there first.
