 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, November 06, 2002 VOL. I Issue 11F JOHNSON WINS SENATE BY NARROW MARGIN As Dan Rather might say "This race was tighter than a botox smile". When every last ballot was counted Senator Tim Johnson was ahead by a cool 528 votes. John Thune, who challenged him for the Senate seat, congratulated Johnson but did not concede. Because of the narrow margin of victory by state law it is mandatory that a recount takes place and will happen soon. The final official vote tally is as follows: U.S. Senate Candidate Percent Votes Tim Johnson (D) 50% 167,477 John Thune (R) 49% 166,949 Kurt Evans (L) 1% 3,064 844 of 844 Precincts Reporting SOCIETY:GEORGE KENNEDY CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY Dining of pumpkin ala mode instead of cake, the Ponderosa had both Mary Hinkle and Mavis Kennedy cooking, each trying to outdo the other. Joyce left before dinner to go home and get some work done. Those who remained had to loosen their respective belts a notch or two. Some around the Ponderosa are hoping that, somewhere, somehow, Mike Soulek is having nearly as much fun on his birthday as they. MILLET HARVEST TO HAPPEN This afternoon Darrel Hinkle has arranged for custom harvestors to combine his millet and put it in the bin. It's been a long time in coming and a bone of contention with his father, Harold, for some time now. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate are hoping Darrel does well enough to keep Harold quite, even if just for a little while.
