E.E. Hinkle Joins Pepsi Generation
Joyce Ferris had parents that taught her how to share. In fact, she offered to split a can of Pepsi with her 103 year old father, E.E. Hinkle. He snorted and said, "I don't drink that stuff!" Last night however, after Joyce had gone to bed 2 cans of Pepsi were sitting on the table. They were both opened and emptied. Some kindly of a brown liquid was found in E.E.'s drinking glass on the kitchen table. We don't need CSI to tell us what it is either. E.E. Is famous for saying "Water is good enough for me.", yet there were four bottles full of water on the same kitchen table that he did not touch. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate wonder if he'll drink Coke if it's put in the fridge. E.E. Did say that he would have preferred orange soda.

E.E. has also admitted that he may have broken a rib in last Friday's fall. He has been kinda tender on the one side.
Hearing for State Fair
South Dakotans can give their input today at a hearing in Huron on a plan to shorten the state fair from eight days to five. Under the proposal, the annual event would start on the Thursday before Labor Day and end on Labor Day. Agriculture Secretary Larry Gabriel supports the plan and will attend the hearing. Fair Manager Susan Hayward says she's concerned about whether all the events can fit into five days.
Lethal Shock to Baptist Preacher
A Baptist pastor has died after being electrocuted while performing a baptism at his church in Waco, Texas. The accident happened on Sunday, October 3, when Kyle Lake, pastor of University Baptist Church and the author of two recent books, was electrocuted during a Sunday morning baptismal service. Lake, 33, was partially submerged while performing the Sunday morning baptism to a crowd of over 800. He was electrocuted after grabbing a microphone so the crowd could hear him speak. The woman he was baptizing was not injured. Lake was the pastor for the last seven years at UBC and is the author of two books, Understanding God's Will and the new release Understanding Prayer.
