Bar JZ Wins Award
Holabird's own Bar JZ Ranch is one of only 3 ranches in the whole state of South Dakota to receive the American Hereford Association Gold TPR Breeder award. Bar JZ is one of the top polled Hereford ranches in South Dakota and the absolute top Hereford ranch in Holabird. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate wish to congratulate them on this latest award. It isn't the first and will not be the last.

Holabird Advocate Publisher, Jerry Hinkle, took the bad along with the good on Thanksgiving Day. The Meal at the Come Hahn Inn was top rate as expected. The highlight of the meal was Bonnie Nickleson's "Dalmation Dessert" as Larry Nickleson calls it. The recipe is sure to be sought after by all who love to cook, and eat, good food. So good was this dessert that it had to be hidden so that it could be served with the leftovers for evening vittles. Not a crumb of the dessert was leftover after evening vittles was over.

Jerry walked around the neighborhood in the afternoon. His hands were getting quite chilly in the duration. He discovered that it was 18 degrees outside. He didn't have any gloves. Good thing he had a coat on at least.

Jerry also tried to talk his niece Katlin Pothast into coming over to the Ponderosa and cooking for him, but after an hour of her hitting him over the head, he decided to cook for himself.

Joyce Ferris sure had fun with her Father, E.E. Hinkle at the Ponderosa. He slept through the night the first time, but was back tom-catting the second night. Joyce brought her freshly declawed and neutralized cat along with her for amusement. E.E. Wasn't so amused, so she'll be leaving tomorrow morning.

The actor known as Arnold from "Happy Days" died yesterday of natural causes at his Las Vegas home. Pat Morita is perhaps best known As Mr. Miagi, who taught balance and focus to all who watched him in the "Karate Kid series of movies.

Born in northern California on June 28, 1932 to migrant fruit pickers, Morita spent most of his early years in the hospital with spinal tuberculosis. He later recovered only to be sent to a Japanese-American internment camp in Arizona during World War II. After the war, Morita's family tried to repair their finances by running a Sacramento restaurant. It was there that Morita first showed an interest in a show business career, eventually committing to it full time at the age of 30. He is survived by his wife and three daughters from a previous marriage.
