You might be interested to know Holabird's own Barney Nemec has been volunteering at the GR Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas to help out with the refugees. Barney has been living in the Houston area for educational purposes. He ended up helping to put together a make-shift library for them. It was interesting for him to say the least. Barney told out Publisher that if he wanted details he'd come through. He has requested more, and for the time being Barney will be a special correspondent for the Holabird Advocate.

Also the Holabird Church of Universal has decided that they have enough room to take in 3 refugees from Katrina. Rick Warren says that if every church in this country took in 3 refugees, they wouldn't need government help. Mind you accommodations are not as plush as the Salvation Army Shelter in Sioux Falls, but beggars can't be choosy.

We see that Judy Haiwick made it home, and back to work. Also Sydney Goehring and her cousin Melissa Houdek were on opposite sides of a soccer match At the new High School Football Field in Aberdeen. Sydney was on the Home team, Melissa, from Sioux Falls, was the visitor. The home team won by a score of 1-0. Neither of the cousins score a goal.

Well, "Survivor" has come clean with one of their "Twists". It appears that two former players will be back for another go at the game. We are not told who, but it goes to reason that they will have a target on their back from the get-go. We do know that the there is one of each gender. As far as big twists go, it's a disappointment. I still think throwing Jeff Probst in a volcano and having Rupert take over as the host would be the best way to start things off. Either that or at least have the smug Mr. Probst compete in a little challenge to keep his cushy job. Can he "Outwit, Outplay, Outlast"? I wanna find out!
