 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Friday, August 29, 2003 VOL. II Issue 8S PONDEROSA PINES BACK IN BUSINESS It appears that the Ponderosa Pines Old Age Assistance Home may have to open up again. Joyce Ferris was very ill from an undetermined cause yesterday. She has improved today, but ever so slightly. Joyce has lived on chicken broth, crackers and 7up since 4am Thursday. It is not believed that this is a reaction to any medication. Joyce has not seen a doctor, and there are currently no plans to take her to one. Joyce's plight could mean a visit from older sister Mavis Kennedy. That has not been confirmed as yet. Harold Hinkle has said that they are about as busy there as they need to be. They are chopping corn for silage in between breakdowns and sprinkles of rain. E.E. Hinkle is taking Joyce's situation pretty well. He hasn't taken ill yet, but has run out of bananas. He is also keeping active,as active as one can at 101. he still walks his quarter mile every day. JANKLOW FACES CHARGES The 13th day after his crash has proven unlucky for South Dakota U.S. Representitive, Bill Janklow. The Moody County States Attorney has filed charges of failure to stop at a stop sign, reckless driving (not wreckless driving), speeding, and 2nd degree manslaughter. Also this morning, self-appointed consumer advocate Ralph Nader called for Janklow's resignation. Apparently Mr. Nader thinks that Janklow is "unsafe at any speed", much like the Corvair. In the case that Janklow is removed from office, all of us at the Holabird Advocate feel that there is one person who is in the unique position of being able to fill his shoes. No, not Stephanie Herseth, she's way overqualified, and besides she is too valuable at her current job. We feel that perhaps John Thune should finish Janklow's term, if it comes to that.
