 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Monday, November 07, 2005 VOL. IV Issue 11F SURPRISE-The Secret is Out The secret that Jerry Hinkle has been keeping is finally out in the open. Leanne Hoffman kept it to herself for a whole month because she forgot all about it until last week. The secret is no secret anymore. So what is the secret? Only that Harold and Mary Hinkle were named the 2005 "Friend of 4-H". The tricky part was getting them to the 4-H Banquet to receive the award. Doug Hinkle eventually told Harold in order to get them over there. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate wish to congratulate the Hinkles on this great honor. They deserve this award and it's about time they got it. Mary especially put in many years with the 4-H system in Hyde County. The current crop of club leaders could do worse than to follow her example, and they'd be hard pressed to do better. Harold Hinkle's Dish Gets a Dish Early this morning, a crew came in from Aberdeen to install a Dish 60 system for Mary Hinkle. Yes, for Mary the blessings just keep on coming. The curse doesn't kick in until she has to pay for it. The good news is, now the Hinkle family can watch "Deadwood" on HBO. That is, they think they can. They have to find it first. Jerry Hinkle is also looking for "Beverly Hillbillies", "Gilligan's Island", "Gunsmoke", and "Bonanza" Harold is holding out for "Sanford and Son", "Andy Griffith", and maybe "The Golden Girls". Mary tried out her DVR on a movie called "Heartbreakers" starring Jennifer Love Hooters-er-Hewitt. Strangely enough, Jerry quit complaining about the beer in his car soon afterward.Additions and Corrections In previous editions of the Holabird Advocate, we may have given the impression that all Joyce Ferris did while she was here was try to sell her brother a metal detector. That is far from true. She helped out quite a bit by looking after E.E. Hinkle and freeing up the rest of the family to fix fence, work in the garden, or whatever else needed doing. Joyce even got Mary out of the kitchen a time or two. She, in short was a life saver, or at least a life preserver. E.E. sure has gotten used to the big meals that Joyce supplied. In the interval between Saturday night and Sunday morning, the old boy ate at least four bowls of pudding and two bowls of cold oyster stew.
