＜ 選戰的花絮 沈新黨其他 ＞
　　Accusing the prosecutor's office of framing him, DPP legislative candidate 莊碩漢, who is under investigation for election corruption, brought the items which prompted the investigation to the prosecutor's office.

Shen also said that if this wasn't possible, then he suggests an emblem of a black bear which can be used in conjunction with images of taros and sweet potatoes.

＜ 抗議棄保說 國親又槓上 ＞
　　Wearing a big poster, PFP 許淵國 went to KMT headquarters for a truth, because he had heard of rumors spreading from KMT that they want to give him up on legislative election. Chaos occurred when 許淵國 tried to get into the building. 許淵國 went in the building, he went upstairs but couldn't find chairman Lien Chan. He then went out the building and sat in front of the gate for protest. Facing 許淵國's charges, KMT denied totally. How to share votes and which candidate to give up are the most important thing Pan Blue needs to do now. Chairman of New Party 郁慕明 calls out for Pan Blue's 3 parties to sit down and talk seriously. His words seemed to convey that the 3 parties had not been sitting down talking about many things seriously.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

　　身上掛著抗議大海報，親民黨許淵國直闖國民黨，還發生肢體推擠，傳聞國民黨放話放棄許淵國，他上門理論. 場面一團混亂，許淵國上樓又下來，見不到主席連戰，他走出黨中央，在大門前靜坐抗議. 許淵國大動作加上指控，國民黨完全否認. 怎麼配票棄保，成為泛藍當務之急，同時間新黨主席郁慕明呼籲，坐下來好好談配票事宜。顯然泛藍三兄弟對很多事情，沒有談清楚

＜ 選戰越熱烈 痔瘡越多人 ＞
　　As election day gets closer, campaigns have intensified and even affecting the health of citizens. Doctors have found that long hours of standing or sitting at campaign rallies have resulted in hemorrhoids in many patients. The phenomenon is punctuated by irregular diets and lifestyles, or drinking and heavy eating. Doctors say that recently, the number of patients with hemorrhoids has multiplied by two to three times the normal number. While it isn't a serious problem, it can be quite a nuisance. Some slack off time to look for medical help; others wait until they just cannot bear the pain. To avoid the syndrome, doctors suggest drinking less alcohol and eating less spicy foods. It is also important to make regular trips to the bathroom. And if you should see blood where it doesn't belong, see the doctor as soon as possible.

　　距離投票日愈來愈近，選戰打得非常激烈，但是身體也要照顧。醫生發現，因為最近大家常常參加選舉造勢活動，必須要長時間站著或坐著，加上喝酒應酬，讓生活作息和飲食不正常，所以痔瘡這個不大不小的毛病，就在這時候出現。醫生發現最近到醫院求診的痔瘡患者，是平常的兩到三倍，其中有很多拖了很久，覺得已經痛了受不了的人，結果病情愈來愈嚴重，反而害苦了自己。要如何避免痔瘡上身，醫生建議少喝酒和少吃辛辣的食物，另外排便習慣要良好，注意肛門的衛生，如果出現出血的症狀，要盡快看醫生。

＜ 發現輻射屋 官員去察看 ＞
　　Since the news of radioactive houses came out, lives for the residents in 草湖 district in Shinchu did not change. Most residents remain to live just like before. However, couple of the residents have begun to worry. Shinchu related organization have started their first inspection on 草湖 district. Starting from 1992, there have been cases reporting on radioactive houses. Houses built by radioactive steels are mostly houses built between 1982 to 1984. Atomic Energy Council after inspection said that most radioactive houses are located in Keelung, Taipei and Taoyuan. But this time the radioactive house was discovered at Shinchu. Seems like there are more radioactive houses that we didn't know are existing. Shinchu radioactive houses were revealed by a real estate agent. The agent said not only radioactive houses are in Keelung, Taipei and Taoyuan, they have already spread to Southern part of Taiwan. Atomic Energy Council later came out and explain that 草湖 district was not listed under city planning when built, that's why the district was able to escape from the inspection. AEC will continue to inspect on other houses, aiming to find out the origin of the radioactive steel.

　　輻射屋的消息傳出，新竹草湖山莊和往常一樣，沒有什麼不同的地方，住戶生活依舊正常，不過還是可以看得出來，有些人已經開始擔心。 而新竹市的有關單位，也出動來到草湖山莊，開始做一些初步的調查。 從八十一年爆發全台第一起輻射屋案件後，當時調查出輻射鋼筋蓋的房子，都集中在民國七十一年到七十三年，原能會也在普查後，認為輻射誣指存在於基隆北桃四縣市，這次居然在新竹也發現，可見全台可能還隱藏著多輻射屋。這件消息之所以曝光，是桃園一家房屋仲介業者爆的料，房仲業者表示，輻射屋其實不只有在基隆台北和桃園，已經向南蔓延。 至於原能會表示，草湖山莊是早期都市計畫以外的社區，普查沒有查到，除了對已經發現的要調查之外，對於其他房子，還有輻射鋼筋的來源，全部都要追查。

＜ 繼柳丁之後 金棗價狂跌 ＞
　　It is now the harvest time for gold plums, but there was no smile on farmers' face. That's because these gold plums that used to sell for 18 nt per catty could only sell for 10 nt per catty this year. Due to the flood brought by typhoons, the looks of the gold plums are not appealing, therefore causing no demand of the gold plums and causing the price dropped drastically to only 10nt per catty. In addition, the gold plums imported from China made the local farmers not able to compete. Many farmers refuse to pick the gold plums, and just left them rotten. Rotten gold plums can be seen everywhere in the 200 hectares. Farmers advocate residents to eat the gold plums. Though they are a bit sour but eat these could stay healthy. Guess besides eating more oranges, residents could come to Chiso-hsi to eat some fresh gold plums.

　　黃澄澄的金棗，現在正是豐收的時侯，只是結實磊磊，果農卻沒有笑容，原來以往一斤可以賣到十八塊以上的高價，今年因為風災，產量少，賣相又不佳，使得價格慘跌到一斤只有十塊，讓果農是欲哭無. 除了收成不好，加上大陸金棗的進口，無法競爭的農民只能任金棗自生自滅，不再採收，二佰多公頃的礁溪果園裡，到處可見落果，有的都己經發臭，農民也束手無策，只希望民眾能多多食用這種酸甜多汁，又可以養生的好水果. 看來民眾除了多吃柳丁外，也不妨多到礁溪來多吃新鮮的金棗水果。
