PUBLISHER GETS CHRISTMAS E-CARDS OUT It has been said it's not really Christmas until you get your e-card from Jerry Hinkle. Despite numerous illegal operations on the part of the computer at the Pondrosa, he got out 29 e-cards. If you didn't get your e-card, better make sure Jerry has your correct address. Chances are that all who wanted one, as well as some that didn't, got an e-card anyway. This meant delays at the Holabird Advocate. hopefully the effort was worth it all. JANKLOW TESTIFIES AT TRIAL Bill Janklow was called to the stand in his manslaugher trial. The Moody County Courtroom was filled to capacity and some people were turned away from hearing today's testimony. During his by Ed Evans, Representative Bill Janklow started by telling jurors he had an allergy to the cold it could kill him. Evans brought up the allergy because the courthouse’s heat had been turned off. He testified that at an event at he Brown County Fairgrounds, he said a woman offered him a BBQ, Janklow said, "They asked me if I wanted to eat. I said I’ll wear it." Next he talked about driving back, but told jurors he remembered nothing of the crash. "It’s driving and that’s it," Janklow said. As for the heart medicine Atenolol, Janklow said he never received instructions about it. He said he stopped taking it the day after the crash when a pharmacist told him it could block signs of hypoglycemia. Janklow also said he knew when he was having low blood sugar because he would get sweaty and his heart would race. Janklow said, "I'm a lucky diabetic. Any time I go low I know it." The state then started it's cross examination. Prosecutors are focused on a bottle of glucose pills Janklow said he found empty after the accident. They asked why Janklow would’ve gone 20 hours without eating and not used a glucose pill. While Janklow said, "I take a glucose when I think I’m getting in trouble," he added that he did not replace meals with the pills. But the pills that were left in the bottle Janklow took with him on August could not be found. Janklow said doctors who prescribed atenolol never told him about side effects. When asked if he read the information that came with the pill bottle, Janklow said, "If they were in there, I didn’t read them." Prosecutors asked Janklow about other accidents involving phantom cars, Spacifcly about a November 1993 crash involving a Sioux Falls city bus. Janklow claims a car came at him, he swerved and then clipped the bus. They also looked at a December 27, 1993 accident where Janklow reported a vehicle moving toward him and again he tried to get out of the way. The defense then called Betty Stoner, a Sioux Falls city bus driver. She told jurors that during a December 1993 accident involving Janklow, she saw the car that hit him. This information had not been found in the police report concerning this crash. The defense rested. Then the state has called Dr. Kim Wilde, a Watertown doctor who works with diabetics, as a rebuttal witness. Dr. Wilde said if Janklow suffers from hypoglycemia a couple times a week, he should be seeking medical helping for it. The state then rested. The trial will resume Monday with jury instructions at 9am, and closing statements at 10am.
