Holabird Advocate Publisher, Jerry Hinkle, has taken this news to mean that we may be able to get the "Silver Sword of Truth" back.

JANKLOW STORY GOES NATIONAL The details of the collision that Representitive Bill Janklow was involved in on last Saturday afternoon has recieved attention from media outlets outside of South Dakota. Don Hinkle, of Bonita, California, reports hearing of the crash through his local media. The Washinton Post ran a story yesterday about a Viborg, South Dakota man who claimed to be a private investigator working on behalf of Janklow's family. The man, identified as Jim Waistcoat, age 62, also claims to be a former D.C. Policeman who was hired by the Janklow camp to find information on Randy Scott, the man who was killed when his motorcycle ran into the Caddilac driven by Janklow. The story was later retracted when it was discovered that, not only was he not hired by Janklow's people, they have no idea who he is. Waistcoat later admitted that he was not in Janklow's employ. Waistcoat has a police record, but not the kind that would get him a P.I. job. Waistcoat paid a fine for burning a likeness of Osama bin Laden and also has been charged with tresspassing, disorderly conduct and distuburing police. MARS TO GET CLOSER TO EARTH ON AUGUST 27 Many Readers have e-mailed to aske if it's true, and it is. The planet closest to the Earth will be even closer in the next week. On the evening of August 27, about an hour after sundown your local time, Mars will be around 34.5 million miles from Earth. This is the closest it has been in almost 60,000 years. It will be about 200 years before it gets this close again. Any readers who wish to do so can spot Mars tonight at about an hour after sundown, by looking to the southeast. The bright red light in the sky is Mars. It is expected to get bigger as time progresses. A telescope or pair of binoculars could enhance the viewing pleasure. Even an empty paper towel tube could help. It may be adviseable to be away from city lights. Don't miss this exciting event if you can possibly help it!
