 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Friday, December 05, 2003 VOL. II Issue 12E JOYCE FERRIS TO ENTER NURSING HOME It has been a difficult two weeks for Joyce Ferris. Nobody expects it to get much better anytime soon. After a few more days in the hospital, Joyce will be going into the Huron Nursing Home for continued physical therapy. Eventually it is expected that she will be going to the home of daughter Sandy Soulek and her family. All of us at the Holabird Advocate are sure that Joyce and her family are thankful for the love and concern that all of you Readers have shown for her during this difficult year. We ask that you continue to keep her in your best thoughts, wishes and prayers. DEFENSE CONTINUES IN JANKLOW TRIAL The defense called Dr. Fred Lovrien of Sioux Falls. he told jurors he's been diabetic for 44 years and experiences hypoglycemia at least once a week without symptoms. He added that once while driving his blood sugar dropped. Lovrien said, "A lot of it I don’t remember. I was just terrified. I didn’t get the shakes." Lovrien met with Janklow in October. They reviewed Janklow's medical history and his use of Atenolol, a beta-blocker for the heart. Lovrien said that if Janklow showed symptoms of hypoglycemia prior to the accident, they could've been masked by the hot day and Janklow becoming angry after an encounter with a heckler. Lovrien added that the combination of not eating and timing of Janklow's dose of insulin would've made his blood sugar lowest around the time of the crash. During cross examination by the state, Lovrien was asked about being a close personal friend of Janklow's family physician. Lovrien also told jurors he is being paid for his testimony today, the same as if it were an office visit.Prosecutor Roger Ellyson had Dr. Fred Lovrien read the list of drugs Janklow said he was taking the day after the accident, and Atenolol wasn't on it. Lovrien says it would not be wise to prescribe such a medication for Janklow because it would make his cold-induced asthma worse. The prosecutor then got the defense witness to admit it would be unusual for someone to go 20 hours without eating, as several witnesses have said Janklow did on August 16th. And the doctor agreed with the state's assertion that it would be "highly dangerous" for a diabetic to not eat and then drive fast. The defense has finished with its witnesses for today. Janklow’s brother, Art, testified about a cell phone conversation that the two shared before the accident. There is one more defense witness who for scheduling reasons cannot come in until Saturday. HOLABIRD SCRAPBOOK The Holabird Advocate is proud to present a special article taken from the Holabird Scrapbook from February 1, 1912: REACHED THE LIMIT Highmore has made a descent upon the quiet and unoffending village of Holabird and carried off one of it's most influential citizens and prospective Mayor at the coming spring election. Highmore of late years seem to have it in for Holabird They run their screeching automobiles through the streets of the city, at from fourty to sixty miles an hour. They dump thier loose women on to us when they become a nuisance there, and some of them come here occasionally and raise the dev to the disturbance of all of us Now they have reached the limit. they have taken our pool hall merchant and carried him off bodily to the state capital and closed the doors of the city jail behind him. His place of business now stands silent and uninviting, there is no click of the pool balls, no smoke pouring out of the elevated chimney, no stir around there at all, and nothing to be seen there except a bakers dozen cats, of various colors, cat-a-wailing at the door, mourning for there master. The only thing we can do is have military rule, each one with a gun, and be fully organized, and when there is another invasion sail in and clean our that county seat bunch, bent upon our destruction.
