BY BOB MERCERState Capitol Bureau

PIERRE — Bill Janklow was the onlygovernor in the history of South Dakotato serve more than two terms — 16 yearsin fact — over two eras. He also was theonly one known to have refused to havehis likeness in the state Capitol’s displayof portraits of former governors.

That changed Friday. During a cere-mony in the rotunda his three childrenand his wife unveiled two portraits, oneshowing Janklow from his two terms in1979-1986 and the other from his twoterms in 1995-2002.

Mary Dean Janklow told the audienceof more than 200 people that her husbandwould have been uncomfortable to be sohonored. She said he always was trying torecognize others for their accomplish-ments and generosity.

“He loved South Dakota. He loved thepeople here. He loved to be able to solveproblems and help people,” she said.

“I’m proud of his legacy,” she contin-ued. “I’m proud his portraits will hanghere.”

Bill Janklow died Jan. 12, 2012, frombrain cancer at age 72.

For decades he had threatened to goto court to stop anyone who tried to addhis portrait to those of the now-29 othergovernors since statehood. But in themonths after his death, friends and for-mer Cabinet members began collaborat-ing with his family to have a portraitmade.

Russell Janklow called the portraits byWatertown artist Josh Spies “unique” andsaid his father worked 20 years in theCapitol as attorney general for one term(1974-1978) and then as governor twice.

“He’d rather be governor for life if hadthe chance,” Russell said. “When it cameto honoring himself, he was shy and bash-ful about that.”

Spies, whose wildlife paintings were

admired by Janklow, called the day“amazing.” Spies and Janklow knew eachother as friends a generation apart in age.

“It’s a big deal to me, and I worked re-ally hard on this,” Spies said.

In the front row for the ceremony wasBill Janklow’s mother, LouElla, now age99. All three of the Janklow children —Russell, Pam and Shonna — were on handalong with other family members.

The crowd was filled with old friends,political allies, Janklow cabinet membersand aides, as well as people who simplyknew him through their everyday lives.Former Gov. Mike Rounds came, but for-mer Gov. Walter Dale Miller wasn’t feelingwell enough to attend.

Pam Roberts, one of his most trustedtop aides, delivered the welcome. ThenGov. Dennis Daugaard spoke about some

of the things he learned from Janklow.“Gov. Janklow did take charge in situa-

tions where someone needed to takecharge,” Daugaard said. “He gave us confi-dence, especially during disasters.”

Daugaard said he admired Janklow forhis “aggressiveness in getting facts beforea decision.” Daugaard said he learned Jan-klow dug into the details of every piece oflegislation that went to his desk — includ-ing a bill that Daugaard had passed whilea state senator and that Janklow vetoed.

“He really knew that bill,” Daugaardsaid. When the veto override came up inthe Senate, “I voted with him against mybill.”

Daugaard said he tries to be like Jan-klow in that way.

“We’re better public servants becauseof Bill Janklow,” he said.

Trial Set For Lawsuit Over HangingLINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A trial date has been set for a

lawsuit against Lancaster County filed by the father of ateenage inmate who killed himself.

The Lincoln Journal Star reports U.S. District JudgeJohn Gerrard scheduled a jury trial for Sept. 15.

Mark Kennedy, of Lincoln, filed the lawsuit after his16-year-old son, Jonathan Kennedy, hanged himself in ayouth detention center on Feb. 26. He was taken to alocal hospital, where he later died.

The lawsuit argues that jail staff should have realizedJonathan Kennedy had mental problems and should havemore effectively supervised him.

The suit seeks $5,000 in damages for funeral expensesand other unspecified damages.

A judge had ordered the boy detained for suspecteddrug use and self-harming behavior.

Report: Neb. should pay Kan. $5.5MOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A special water master has

found that Nebraska took more than its share of waterfrom the Republican River in 2005 and 2006 and shouldpay Kansas $5.5 million for the breach.

But the recommendation submitted Friday to the U.S.Supreme Court rejected Kansas’ demands for $80 millionand an order that would permanently shut off irrigation inmore than 300,000 Nebraska acres.

The U.S. Supreme Court gave Kansas permission in2011 to file a new petition over allegations that Nebraskaused 25.7 billion gallons more in water that it should havein 2005 and 2006.

Use of the river’s water is governed by a 1943 compactbetween Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska. Colorado wasgiven 11 percent of the water, while Nebraska was allotted49 percent and Kansas 40 percent.

Former Det. Gets 3 Years Of ProbationOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A judge has sentenced a former

Cave pleaded guilty to one count of exceeding author-ized access to a protected computer for private financialgain.

Prosecutors say he sold the information about 60times between March 2010 and August 2012 and was paid$200 for each lead resulting in a repossession.
