 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, October 29, 2003 VOL. II Issue 10P MARY HINKLE STRUCK WITH PHEASANT FLU One thing the Ponderosa didn't need was for Mary Hinkle to get struck down with the Pheasant Flu, but that's just what they got. With E.E. Hinkle still recovering from his bout with the dreaded disease, Harold is just a little worried. Jerry is still trusting in OPC-3 to keep him safe from all harm, however. Harold, E.E., and Mary were all scheduled to have flu shots tomorrow. It is unlikely that any one of them will get a flu shot now. As E.E. said, "I already got a shot of the flu." MARION MAGINNIS GOES BLIND Word was recieved that former Holabird resident, Marion Maginnis, 87, of Fairfield, California, has gone completly blind. He was already blind in one eye. The exact cause of his blindness is not known, but is suspected to be internal bleeding of the eyes. LET'S GO TO THE VIDEOTAPE by Jerry Hinkle The 1989 movie "Uncle Buck", while not a classic, is still pretty interesting. It starred John Candy late in his carreer (and late in his life as it turns out), and Macauley Caulkin at the beginning, or at least before "Home Alone". Also recognizable is Gaby Hoffman, who was a supporting player in a few other films such as "Sleepless in Seatle" and Laurie Metcalf, who played Aunt Jackie on the "Roseanne" show. This is a John Hughes film, that means teenagers. The featured teenager in here is Jean Louise Kelly as Tia Russel. She and Candy share much of the screen time and some of the films funniest moments. Those who watch this should suspend disbelief on a few issues to enjoy the viewing experience. Also be prepared for Caulkin and Hoffman to utter a few profanities, which 14 years ago was quite shocking, but they are still tame by today's standards. If you'd rather not rent or buy "Uncle Buck", just wait for one of the cable channels to run this sure to be a classic movie. If you, like us at the Ponderosa, don't have cable then by all means find a way to watch this movie. The issues explored in this cinematic masterpiece are still just as relevant to 2003 as they were when this was released. So, until next time, be kind, rewind!
