Cold Snap Freezes Ponderosa Water
Temperatures dropped, the wind picked up, but the snow fall was not much. In fact the ground soaked up all the snow in the Holabird area. With an overnight low of 6 degrees, it was pretty chili. It was so cold that the only place with water was E.E. Hinkle's place. It took Harold and Jerry Hinkle quite a while to thaw out the livestock water tanks, but the house took even longer. Tank heaters are in place to help keep this from happening again too soon.
Holabird Woman in Head-on Crash
An accident near Pierre sent three people to the hospital this morning. One of them was Susan Roshau of Holabird. The head-on crash happened about three miles east of Pierre on Highway 14 near Dell Acres around 7:30 a.m. The crash occurred when an SUV driven by Mrs. Roshau of Holabird was traveling westbound and she swerved to miss an animal in the roadway. Her vehicle then entered into the eastbound lane where it collided with a car driven by Thomas Sogaard of Pierre. Sara Sween of Pierre was a passenger in the Sogaard vehicle. Mrs. Roshau’s SUV came to a stop in the ditch and Sogaard’s car ended up along the south shoulder of the roadway. The Pierre Rescue Squad’s jaws of life was used at the accident scene, but says all three people involved in the crash were wearing their seatbelts, so injuries to all three were not life threatening. The victims were taken to St. Mary’s Hospital by ambulance with early reports indicating that Sogaard sustained minor injuries, Sween had possible broken bones and Roshau received facial trauma in the crash. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate sure hopes that Mrs. Roshau heals quickly.

Sometime today, George Kennedy had an artificial knee put in. He and wife, Mavis Kennedy, went to Rapid City yesterday to get ready for the replacement surgery. It was reported that their daughter Connie Hopkins was going along with them. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate wish George and his brand new knee get along.
