 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Tuesday, November 11, 2003 VOL. II Issue 11F SCHOOL IN SESSION ON VETERANS DAY For some reason the Hyde School District saw fit to not be in session on Monday and to resume classes on this, one of the most important national holidays of the year. all of us at the Holabird Advocate hope that they at least observe this holiday in the classroom somehow. JANKLOW DRIVING RECORD INADMISSABLE IN COURT The judge put the brakes on jurors hearing Janklow's South Dakota driving history, with its dozen speeding tickets in 12 years and several accidents. Prosecutors say it shows a pattern of reckless driving and disregard for the law. But fearing that hearing about so many tickets would prejudice the jury, the judge sided with Janklow's legal team. Judge Rodney Steele said there's a chance he would change his mind on admitting the driving record, but that's only if something would come up during the trial. That's scheduled to begin December 1. But a plea bargain could be struck at any time. Besides his manslaughter trial, a federal investigation is under way into whether a Washington, DC, lobbyist violated any laws when he hunted elk in the Black Hills. Eric Washburn used a resident hunting license granted to him by former Governor Bill Janklow. Washburn killed an elk last month while hunting in the Black Hills, but he denies breaking any laws. He says Janklow gave him resident hunting and fishing privileges in the late 1990s, after they worked together on Missouri River legislation. BLOGGER IMPROVES ITSELF AGAIN Blogger.com has made more changes claiming they will serve it's users better. Time will tell if that actually happens. All of us at the Holabird Advocate hope that you, the Readers, notice no change, unless it is a change for the better.
