 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Wednesday, January 28, 2004 VOL. III Issue 1S PONDEROSA PIPES FREEZE AS TEMPS LOWER Early this morning Mary Hinkle turned a water faucet to find nothing coming out but a few drips. Jerry thought the whole place was dry, but it was just the one house. E.E Hinkle had running water as did the cows. Most of the morning the Hinkles used E.E.'s bathroom as an outhouse. Eventually Harold was able to thaw out the pipes. The high temp was 0 despite a forecast of -6. Tomorrow's high is forecast at -5. Light snow started falling in the afternoon. THE LATEST FROM WASHINGTON CONCERNING JOYCE FERRIS While saying that she feels like a news columnist, Sandy Soulek reported that she and Joyce arrived home from the clinic at 7pm last night. Her mom felt a lot better yesterday morning and her fever broke. Her pain from arthiritis is her biggest complaint. Because she is coughing stuff up and a little short of breath, the doctor will do a chest x-ray tomorrow morning. He started her on antibiotic as well as a new pain med, and increased her stomach pill to two times a day. He wants to be sure she doesn't have pneumonia or an infection before he turns her clear loose. Hopefully now she can really recover and start to get on her feet. "I think she has just been run down so long she can't get back up very easily." Sandy surmised. "One nice thing..the Dr has given her all samples so she's gotten free medicine that would have cost her about 300 dollars at least so far. He is really a nice guy." The doctor is also setting up an appointment with a Rheumatologist for Joyce as soon as she is better from this deal. Sandy closed her report with one last request, "Keep praying and all will turn out good soon." "COMEBACK" KERRY BECOMES "KETCHUP" KERRY Senator John Kerry had to play "catch-up" and that is what he did. Not only did Kerry catch up, but as far as the New Hampshire voters are concerned, Kerry passed Howard Dean. Kerry's big win has him sitting pretty for "Super Tuesday" on February 2, when seven different states around the country will be holding primary elections, South Carolina and North Dakota among them. Dean, being a litle more forthright in New Hampshire than he was in Iowa last week, admitted that he was never the front runner, it was all media hype. The voters, not the media, determine the front runner. The voters have spoken, now it looks like John "Ketchup" Kerry is the man to beat, for now anyway.
