 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Thursday, December 04, 2003 VOL. II Issue 12D HINKLES BRAVE SNOW TO GO HURON Just as snow started to fall on the frozen terrian of the Ponderosa, Harold and Mary Hinkle took E.E. Hinkle to a doctor appointment in Huron. They were also going to visit Joyce Ferris in the hospital. E.E. had not been told of her hospitalization as per Joyce's wishes. All of us at the Holabird Advocate supect that he figured it out eventually. When Questioned about the events of the day, the 101 year old E.E. played it pretty cagey. He seemed more concerned with getting a brown paper bag to put his bananas in rather than discussing his medical visits or anything else. Mary, however, reported that his kidneys and bladder checked out alright. They had blood tests done, the results will be in later. E.E.'s pulse was 34. Mary also reported that Joyce was doing well. She has been doing physical therapy in her hospital room and is upbeat, which should help her through the days ahead. Despite all the snowing and blowing, the Ponderosa did not get the forcasted 2 inches of new snow promised it by Keloland. Better luck next time. JANKLOWS DEFENSE HITS GROUND RUNNING Defense attorneys questioned Bob O'Shea, an engineer from Illinois. He reviewed accident reports and reconstruction information from the crash. Attorneys also showed the jury some of the 91 accident photographs that O'Shea analyzed. His calculations show Janklow only drove 63-64 mph when he collided with motorcyclist Randy Scott. Yesterday during testimony for the prosecution, accident reconstructionist Gene Barthel with the South Dakota Highway Patrol said Janklow drove 71mph. He further stated that Randy Scott's motorcycle was going more than law enforcement's estimated 59 mph, possibly as fast as 65 mph. O'Shea added that Janklow used his brakes and neither vehicle could have seen each other unless close to the intersection. Senator Tom Daschle testified for the denfense as well. He was on the stand for about 5 minutes. he testified that he did not see Janklow eat anything the afternoon of the crash and that Bill Janklow was " A good and honest person". Court ajouned at 4:30pm. The defense will resume its case tomorrow. JACKIE QUINN RELEASES NEW ALBUM Singer, songwriter and recording artist Jeckie Quinn will be showcasing her new album, a 9 track CD entitled "Raging Wildflower", on her 2003 Christmas tour. She will be appearing in concert at the Methodist church in Highmore on December 14th at 7pm. Our Publisher, Jerry Hinkle, has known Ms. Quinn since she was 12 years old and has said that listening to her sing is so wonderfully excellent that no words in the English language can describe it. He is even hoping to attend the concert, at the risk of missing "Alias", that night. Of course, it will depend on how things go with his grandfather, E.E. Hinkle that evening as well.
