 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, November 20, 2003 VOL. II Issue 11L WINTER WEATHER ON THE WAY FOR HOLABIRD Everyone on the Ponderosa has been busy the last couple of days getting ready for a three day blizzard. There are two seperate storm systems that may be coming through the area possibly starting on Friday night. As much as 12 inches of the white stuff, maybe even more, could fall down from the sky. Everything that you don't want covered up or needs to be dry should be indoors. Yesterday, Mary Hinkle put a snow fence up beside her strawberry patch. HOLABIRD SCRAPBOOK Here's a few interesting items out of the old Holabird Scrapbook from July 1909: Charley Sunding is remodeling farm residence and will give it a fresh coat of paint. The Hotel Holabird is crowded with guests about every day. Landlord Graham and his wife are kept busy all the time. The school house is yet without repairing, the school house grounds have not yet been touched with a plow nor the trees trimmed, and yet they say we have a school board. JANKLOW AND PASSENGER HAVE DIFFERING STATEMENTS Bill Janklow said in a statement to the Highway Patrol that he sped to pass a white car on the afternoon of August 16, when he was involved in a crash with motorcyclist Randy Scott. Chris Braedlin, Chief of Staff for Representative Janklow, was a passenger in the car that Janklow was driving that afternoon. While the accident happened, Braendlin sat next to him. He told investigators, quote, "I do recall seeing a motorcycle going across the intersection and then something came by us. But he was slowing down. I do remember that. He was slowing down." The papers include no mention by Braendlin of seeing a white vehicle. Judge Steele ruled that if Janklow's lawyers choose to bring up the issue of this white car, that only Janklow reports seeing, then prosecutors can bring up two crashes from 1993. In both of those cases, Janklow reported seeing another vehicle, swerving to miss that car and because of that, getting into an accident.
