No one really knows what’sgoing on. Nothing like thishas ever happened before,”Mangat said. Later, whenhe learned of the deaths, hesaid, “It was like the heartjust sat down. This should-n’t happen anywhere.”Oak Creek Police John

Edwards said officers calledto the scene were tending avictim when the suspectambushed one officer andshot him multiple times.The suspect then shot atanother officer, who firedback and killed him.Earlier, police had said

the officer who was shotkilled the suspectedshooter.Tactical units went

through the building andfound four people dead in-side the temple and twooutside, in addition to theshooter.Two others were

wounded alongwith the po-lice officer, Edwards said.All three were being

treated at an area traumacenter. Greenfield PoliceChief Bradley Wentlandt,who was helping in the in-vestigation, said the policeofficer had surgery and isexpected to survive.Wentlandt did not iden-

tify the suspect or say whatmight have motivated theshootings. Familymembersidentified some victims.Sukhwindar Nagr, of

Racine, said he called hisbrother-in-law’s phone anda priest at the temple an-swered and told him thathis brother-in-lawhad beenshot, along with threepriests. The priest also saidwomen and children werehiding in temple closets,Nagr said.Devendar Nagra, 48, of

Mount Pleasant, said hissister was in the templepreparing a meal when theshooting started.He said hespoke with her and she es-

caped injury by hiding inthe kitchen, but a priesttold him that his brother-in-law, the temple’s caretaker,had been shot in the leg.Nagra’s spoke to his sis-

ter as she was evacuatedfrom the temple to a nearbybowling alley. LeRonBridges, 16, of Oak Creek,works at the bowling alleyand said he was in a supplycloset when he heard fourgunshots. He looked out-side, saw police coming and

went to get his boss.“There were more and

more police showing up,”hesaid. “They all pulled outtheir assault rifles and rantoward the building.”Bridges said police

brought people evacuatedfrom the temple to thebowling alley in two ar-mored trucks. At one point,about 50 to 60 people wereat the bowling alley, includ-ing police officers question-ing those from the temple

and paramedics treatingtheir wounds, he said.“They were just hysteri-

cal,” Bridges said. “Therewere kids. One big loadcame out of the truck.”Sikhism is a monotheis-

tic faith foundedmore than500 years ago in SouthAsia.It has roughly 27 millionfollowersworldwide.Obser-vant Sikhs do not cut theirhair; male followers oftencover their heads with tur-bans — which are consid-

ered sacred — and refrainfrom shaving their beards.There are roughly 500,000Sikhs in the U.S., accordingto estimates. The majorityworldwide live in India.The Sikh Temple of Wis-

similar to humans. Voightsaid flu outbreaks are morelikely this year due to thedrought-like conditions andthe heat.“People can give it to the

animal, so if you are sick,wait at least 24 hours afterthe fever breaks before goingout in public places like thefair,” Voight said.Voight said he and other

fair officials met with thefair’s veterinarian last weekabout extra precautions.Voight said the animal penswill be disinfected before andafter the animals arrive andanimals will be checkedtwice a day for signs of theillness.“The veterinarian will

check all the animals as theyarrive and in the morningand evening of the fair aswell,” Voight said. Hand san-itizers have been available atthe animal barns for severalyears and Voight urges peo-ple to use the hand sanitizerstations diligently this year.“People need to use com-

mon sense and good prac-tices they should do anyway,”he said.According to the Miami

County Ohio State Univer-sity Agriculture Extension

Office, a letter from ConleyNelson, president of the Na-tional Pork Board, was sentto parents and swine ex-hibitors about the height-ened potential of anoutbreak and steps to pre-vent illness to both peopleand pigs.“As the 2012 state fair sea-

son is upon us, everyoneneeds to take steps to ensurethat show pigs stay healthy,”the letter states. “Influenzaor ‘flu” occasionally can betransmitted from people topigs and pig to people.” Theletter urges those with flu-like symptoms to not attendfairs for seven days or untilone has been fever-free for 24hours without the use ofmedication. Also, be on thelookout for flu symptoms inpigs and to contact a local vetbefore bringing the animal tothe fair. The letter also re-minds exhibitors to disinfectall equipment such as showboxes, feed pans and trailerswhen returning home fromthe fair. For more informa-tion, visit www.miamicoun-tyohiofair.com.

Hand hygiene isthe keyRecent cases of influenza

at fairs in Indiana and Ohiohave raised new concernsover swine flu. At least 10human cases of H3N2 fluhave been reported at theButler County fair. All of theflu cases have been linked todirect contact with pigs atthe fair.Miami County Health

Commissioner Chris Cookencourages people to practicegood hand hygiene at theMiami County Fair this year.“It’s the same advice that

you heard from your parentsgrowing up – wash yourhands after being aroundany type of animal,” Cooksaid. “Animals carry germsand if you don’t wash yourhands or use hand sanitizerafter being around them,those germs can make yousick.”Cook said he isn’t sur-

prised that cases of influenzaare showing up at fairs. “Wehave always known thatclose contact with pigs orother animals increases yourchance for getting sick. Afterthe H1N1 flu pandemic of2009 we all have a height-ened awareness about the flu– especially when it passesfrom animals to people.”Influenza viruses such as

H3N2 are not unusual in

swine and can be directlytransmitted from swine topeople and from people toswine in the same way thatall viruses can be transmit-ted between people. Whenhumans are in close proxim-ity to infected pigs, such as inbarns and livestock exhibitsat fairs, movement of theseviruses can occur back andforth between humans andanimals. Influenza virusescannot be transmitted byeating pork.Whether it’s preventing

the flu or E. coli, it’s very im-portant to clean your handsfrequently at the fair. Fair-goers should always washhands with soap and waterafter petting or touching anyanimal. Never eat, drink orput anything in your mouthin animal areas.While washing your

hands is the best way to stayhealthy, hand sanitizer is agood alternative.“I’m sure you will see

hand sanitizer stationsaround the animal barns. Ihope folks take a few secondsto wash or use hand sani-tizer after they are done withthe animals. It is criticallyimportant. I want people tohave fun at the fair but stayhealthy too,” Cook said.

Alpacas are, without a doubt, one ofthe most beautiful animals that roam ourplanet earth. Just the fact that alpacascome in 22 different colors makes themunique, but add to that their gentlenature, tranquil temperament, luxuriousfiber, and gentle, calming hummingsounds and you have an animal that nohuman can resist hugging.

The natural habitat of the alpaca isthe high Andes of South America, butsince 1984 they have also flourished onfarms throughout the United Statesbecause they are so adaptable.

There are two different kinds ofalpacas in the United States – the surialpaca which has fiber that appears to bein the form of dreadlocks and is verysilky, and the huacaya (pronounced wa-ki-a) alpaca which has very colorful fiberthat is extremely fine and gives thealpaca a woolly and round appearance.

Alpacas prefer outdoors to beingcooped up in a barn so a three-sidedshed is perfect and an enclosed barn forbirthing. They eat very little food eachday, usually as much as a large dog.

They eat grass, good quality grass hays,and a special alpaca crumble. Theyneed hay and/or grass for the fiber it con-tains, and an abundant supply of fresh,clean water.

Alpacas should have annual inocula-tions and de-worm medication just as adog or cat would.

Ronald wants to know...How many colors do alpacas come in?Bring in your answer for

Suri Haucaya

FleeceThe hair of the alpaca is called 'fleece' or 'fiber' rather than 'fur' or'wool.' Alpaca fleece has 22 natural shades ranging from black tosilver and rose gray and white, from mahogany brown to lightfawn and champagne. Alpacas can be bred for specific color.

There are two types of alpacas, classified according to their fibertype:

* Huacaya ('wah-KI-yah') — dense, crimped, wooly, water-resistant fleece. About 90% of all alpacas in the North Americaare "teddy-bear" huacayas.* Suri ('SUR-ree') — very fine and lustrous fiber which grows

parallel to the body in long, separate locks. Only 10% of thealpaca population in the US are suris.

Unlike the llama, the fiber of the alpaca can be used for clothing.Alpaca fiber is softer than cashmere or angora, and warmer andlighter weight than wool, without the prickle-factor that some woolhas. Since alpaca fleece has no lanolin, it is easier to processand is hypoallergenic.

Alpacas are sheared annually, usually in the spring. The fiber maybe sold and processed into rovings, spun into yarn, knitted orwoven into fine fabrics. Each step adds more value to the prod-uct.

• LIFESPAN – 15-25 years

• AVERAGE HEIGHT – 36" at thewithers

• AVERAGE WEIGHT – 100 to 175pounds or about one-half to one-third the size of a llama

• AVERAGE GESTATION – 335days

• BIRTH – Birth weight is usuallyaround 15 to 19 pounds. Babiescan often stand and nurse within30 minutes to one hour. Infantmortality is very low.

• COLOR – Alpacas usually comein solid colors with many variationsand blends.

Alpaca facts...The rare and exotic alpaca is a

creature of antiquity that is rapidlygaining popularity around the world.Highly prized for their luxurious coats,the alpaca has been considered atreasure of the Andes Mountains for

more than 6,000 years.Alpacas are New World camelids

and look like small llamas or long-necked camels with no humps, espe-cially when recently sheared. Theyhave shaggy necks and camel-likefaces with thick lips, pronouncednoses, and long ears. Their large,expressive eyes seem to exhibit both

wisdom and childlike curiousity. Easilydomesticated, alpacas are friendly,gentle and curious.

Alpacas were exported from Peruin the mid-1980s and have become apremier livestock in North Americaand abroad. In the United States, thenational Alpaca Registry (ARI) wasformed to ensure breed purity and

high standards. Importation fromSouth America is now closed.

Each alpaca born in the US isblood-typed before registering. Thispractice helps keep our NorthAmerican standards high, our animalshealthy, and our breeding practicesmore focused on growing the bestalpaca fiber in the world.

and that lies along the ocean iscalled a beach. Many beaches aremade of sand, much like the sand in

a sandbox. Others are made of pebbles orrocks. People all over the world visit thebeach to play in the sand and swim in theocean.

(Answers:crab,snail,oyster, scallop)

The beaches along the United States are popular vacationspots. People travel from all over the world to visit beachesin Florida, California, Hawaii, and other coastal states.

• Pretend you are going on a trip to the beach. First, pick a charac-ter from your newspaper’s comic strips to go with you. Then lookthrough your newspaper’s advertisements and make a list ofthings you and your friend would take along. Don’t forget the sunscreen!

• Now, cut out your newspaper’s weather map and paste it in thespace below. Draw a line from the state in which you live to thenearest ocean state. How many states would you have to travelthrough to get to the beach?

The seashells you see on the beach were once the homesof living animals. As these animals grow, they leave theirshells behind and make new ones.

• Unscramble the words below to learn the names of animals that

live in shells.

_________ brac

_________ laisn

_________ yersto

_________ loplsac

• Now, make your own word scramble. Cut out letters in the news-paper that spell five ocean words found on this page. Paste theletters onto construction paper and cut them out. Mix up the letters in each word and ask a friend to try to unscramble them.

When you walk along the beach, you can’t help but noticethe seashells that have washed up on the sand. They comein all shapes, sizes, and colors.

• Plan a Show and Shell day for your class. Take turns showing offyour shell collections. Have someone bring a conch (pronouncedkonk) shell and listen to the ocean inside.

During my preparation to become a teacher ofyoung children, a wise professor gave some sageadvice. “To be a successful early childhood edu-

cator,” she said, “you have to live honestly. You have tolook yourself in the mirror each day and ask yourselfif you are not only talking the talk but walking thewalk.” She warned, “A young child can spot a hypocrit-ical phony a mile away.”I have tried to live up to that standard during my

life both as a professional and as a person.While peo-ple have disagreed with me at times through the yearsover my ways, means, and beliefs, they neverthelesshave qualified me as true to my word.So I suppose that is why nothing gets my temper up

more than those folks who shake angry left fists at our“evil government,” insist it does nothing to help them,and wish it would just stay out their lives…. all thewhile taking money from it with their right hand ifdoing so serves their needs or purposes.Witness lately the Republican Super-Pac sponsored

and thinly veiled “publicservice announcements”about President Obama’scomments that society atlarge plays a role in the suc-cess of its citizens. Right-wingers have cherry-pickedwords and invented phrasesto imply the president saidgovernment is solely re-sponsible for people’s suc-cess.Case in point is a recent

Romney attack ad featuring the owner of SollmanElectric in Sidney. In it, Mr.Sollman complains aboutthese recent comments by President Obama regardinghow government is instrumental in helping manybusinesses get started and succeed over time. Appar-ently Mr. Sollman disagrees with this and in the ad ex-presses his anger, implying government has hadnothing to do with the initial or continued success ofhis company.Sollman Electric was paid $1.6 million dollars as the

electrical contractor for the Miami East School dis-trict’s building project. Apparently Mr.Sollman had noproblems taking these tax dollars from a public school,which is an extension of local, state and federal gov-ernments. As a resident of the district, some of my taxdollars ended up in his pocket and now he complainsabout it?Mr. Sollman’s company benefits from the public

roads that he, his workers, and his suppliers drive onto get to job sites. We call them “freeways” instead oftoll roads for a reason — government paid for them.His workers were educated for free by the public. AndI bet he sleeps at night with some comfort knowing hiscommunity’s police and firefighters protect his work-place. And yes, I understand that he pays taxes forthese services as we all have together…for the publicgood.But personally I am disgusted with those who hyp-

ocritically complain about government while makingprofits from it. In addition to the Miami East project,Mr.Sollman earned millions more on other school andgovernment projects around the Dayton area. I chal-lenge him to take a principled stand and accept nomore contracts paid with government funds, grants ortax dollars.Then there is the report that a consortium of busi-

nessmen in the Dayton area want to form a group tosupport tech start-ups by putting together a $6 millionfund and are asking for half of it to come from stategovernment in the form of development grants. Is thisso a batch of new business owners can carp govern-ment played no role in their success?A friend (who works for a private business whose

work comes largely from government contracts) justsent me a picture of the Wright Brothers at KittyHawk. Superimposed was President Obama shaking afinger at them saying, “You didn’t build that.” Orvilleand Wilbur did build their first airplane with profitsfrom their bicycle shop. But as any Dayton residentwho reads history should know, they nearly went busttrying to market their machine in Europe. Their firstcontract was with the United States Army, a govern-mental agency.Their invention made them famous butour government made them successful.So CEOs and business owners both large and small

should ponder complaining about government whileasking for tax abatements to start and/or expand theirenterprises, or for state, local, or federal entities to payfor infrastructure improvements in and around theirplaces to boost what they do and fatten their bottomlines.As the saying goes, don’t bite the hand that feeds

you.And isn’t it a wonder that a child can spot a phony,but so many adults cannot.

Americans are gener-ally impatient, evenmore so when they

feel anxious about their fi-nancial health and security.The recovery from the“Great Recession,” begin-ning in early 2009, has beena stubborn, slow process.In addition, the debate

and process of expandingaccess to healthcare waslonger and more con-tentious than expected, ac-tually overshadowing efforts to revivethe economy that, in retrospect, shouldprobably have taken precedence. Thefrustration with the pace of the recoverywas evident in the 2010 midterm elec-tion results. Republicans made hugegains nationally, and took control of anumber of governorships and state leg-islatures across the country.Much of this success was due to their

claim of having a “Laser focus” on jobs.I’ll give them credit for keeping theirword on that, but like many of us, I mis-understood what they meant.They’ve stayed true to Job No. 1.

Mitch McConnell declared early on thatthe GOP’s top priority was to deny thepresident a second term. To that end,they have turned their back on legisla-tion they formerly supported, even billsthat they proposed, if there was a risk ofsome benefit to the economy that mightresult in the President getting somecredit, or people feeling more optimisticabout their future.Every Democratic proposal has been

assailed as “job-crushing, job-stran-gling,” every pesky environmental orsafety regulation given the same treat-ment, so as to suggest that the Democ-rat’s goal is to stifle growth andopportunity in their quest to create themythical “Nanny State," in which themasses are enslaved by their depend-ence on the government to provide forthem.Of course, the only way to pay for that

“Nanny State” is to steal the hardearned wealth of those who Rush Lim-baugh likes to call the “Producers” inthis country. Not surprisingly, he countshimself as one.If toxic audio sludge and fomenting

hatred of those you disagree with can be

defined as a product, Iagree. And he certainly hasa laser focus on what heconsiders to be his job. Next,there are the hatchet “Jobs”being performed by Con-gressman Darrell Issa onthe Attorney General andothers, in the hope ofsmearing the President byassociation.Lastly, there is the huge

“Con Job” being perpetratedby the GOP to protect and

expand the preferential treatment of ourwealthiest citizens under our tax codes.These people are uniformly and exclu-sively described as “Job-creators”, re-gardless of how very few of themactually do so. It is vital to the GOP’s de-fense of the Bush tax cuts that we be-lieve the expiration of those cuts onincomes over $250,000 will keep thosefolks from their first love, namely creat-ing jobs for the rest of us. If they werehonest brokers, we could all agree on taxincentives that reward those who actu-ally do create American jobs, and quitpretending those who don’t will. Noright-minded politician would opposethat.A more typical result of that tax wind-

fall can be observed (barely) by lookingat one of the presumed candidates forpresident. Multiple million dollar plusresidences, an IRA allegedly worth in ex-cess of $100 million, and a portfolio ofoffshore accounts that would make aSwiss banker blush leave little wonderwhy he is so adamant about refusing torelease the amount of tax returns con-sidered to be a prerequisite to applyingfor the top job of the United States.While he has reaped the benefits of

the “job-creator” tax rate, there’s littleevidence of any jobs being created, asidefrom accountants and lawyers specializ-ing in tax-avoidance strategies.So yes, they have had a “laser focus”

on jobs, and have been reasonably suc-cessful. But how many of us have, orever will benefit from any of this?

WASHINGTON (AP) —President Barack Obama,emboldened by theSupreme Court’s affirma-tion of his health care over-haul, is now embracing thelaw while campaigning forre-election, just as Republi-can rival Mitt Romneysteps back from it.Obama sees a second

chance to sell voters on theissue despite deep skepti-cism about it from manypeople. Romney is avoidinganswering hard questionsabout how he would tacklehealth care, and thus miss-ing the chance to energizevoters who oppose the law.Democrats say the presi-

dent always planned tostress health care if thecourt upheld the law. Amonth after the ruling, heand his teamare focused onpromoting individual partsof the law that have provedmore popular than the sum.The campaign is targetingits efforts on importantgroups of voters, includingwomen andHispanics,who,Obama aides say,will bene-fit greatly once the lawtakes full effect.Before the decision,

Obamadidmention the lawin campaign events.But thecase he made to voters washardly vigorous, especiallyconsidering the amount oftime he dedicated to over-haul during his first year inyear in office.The primary focus of his

campaign speeches remainsthe economy, the race’sdominant issue. But theSupreme Court’s favorableruling appears to have freedObama to speak about thehealth law more passion-ately and emphaticallythan before the casewas de-cided.His campaign also is run-

ning a television advertise-ment in eight of the mostcontested states that criti-cizes Romney for opposingmandatory health insur-ance coverage for contra-ception; that provision is inObama’s overhaul.A healthcare-focused Spanish-lan-guage ad is running in Ne-vada, Colorado andFlorida.

Odd things sometimesoccur during the bidding -- even in world champi-onships. Consider thisdeal from a match be-tween the United Statesand Thailand.With a U.S. pair North-

South, the bidding wentas shown. Certainly a ma-jority of players wouldopen the South hand withone club, but the Ameri-can South in this caseelected to pass his aceless12-point hand.But something went

drastically wrong on thenext round when Northpassed South’s jump-shiftresponse in clubs. Southobviously thought thatthree clubs was forcing,but the bidding endedabruptly when North de-cided that his skimpy 12-point hand couldn’tpossibly produce a gameopposite a partner whohad previously passed.South made four clubs,

scoring 130 points, butthis was nothing to cheerabout since four hearts(worth 620 points) couldnot be defeated.However, not to be out-

done, the Thai North-South pair did even worse

at the other table! Theirbidding went:

The opening one-clubbid, in the Bangkok Sys-tem, was artificial. Itshowed 12 to 20 high-cardpoints, and furthermoredenied a five-card orlonger suit, except possi-bly in clubs. The one-notrump response wasforcing to game and askedfor clarification of theopening bid.South’s two-club rebid

showed at least five clubsand minimum values, butNorth then made no al-lowance, when he jumpedto three notrump, for thepossibility that Southcould have the sort ofhand he had.East made the normal

opening lead of a dia-mond, and North couldnot avoid going down twofor a net loss of 330 pointson the deal.

DEAR ABBY: I needsome advice about my girl-friend “Vivian’s” son. “Kirk”is 22 and very immature. Ilove Vivian with all myheart, and I get upset whenKirk verbally abuses her. Itry not to say anything be-cause I feel it’s notmy placebecause he’s not MY son.Kirk hasn’t worked in

two years.Hewalks into hismother’s house and takeswhatever he wants — food,toothpaste, rolls of toiletpaper, etc. He won’t helpher around the house, mowthe lawn or wash a dirtydish he has used. And helives rent-free in one of theduplexes hismother boughtfor additional income. Vi-vian is a wonderful womanwho is hard-working andself-supporting. She’s alsotired of her son’s lack ofmo-tivation and how he takesher for granted.I know a mother doesn’t

want to see her child gohungry, but where do youdraw the line?

— FED UP IN TEXAS

DEAR FED UP: Vivianshould draw the line at thefront door.By tolerating herson’s disrespectful behaviorshe is doing him no favors.Unless he actively looks fora job, stops helping himselfto her property and doessomething to repay her gen-erosity (mowing the lawnand washing the dishes heuses would be a good start),she should stop “helping”him. What she’s doing iscrippling her son, who maybe in need of counseling.

DEAR ABBY:Please in-form your readers not to in-vite people to bridalshowers if they’re not in-vited to the wedding.I was invited to a shower

and accidentally found outIwasn’t being invited to thewedding. At first I wasupset, but imagine howmortified I felt when I wastold that if some of the in-vited guests sent back a re-fusal, THEN I would beinvited to the wedding. Iwould have preferred tohave been told, “I’d love tohave you, but we just can’tafford to invite all of thelovely people we wouldlike.”I know this isn’t the first

time you’ve mentionedsomething like this in yourcolumn, but it amazes mehow insensitive people canbe.

— SECOND STRING,

BRADFORD, MASS.

DEAR SECONDSTRING: Being told weare at the top of the “B” listmakes us feel reallywanted, doesn’t it? If peoplewould take just a momentto consider how their wordsand deeds affect others,what a kinder, gentlerworld this would be.P.S. For the record: Peo-

ple who will not be invitedto the wedding should notbe asked to attend a bridalshower.

DEAR ABBY: My di-vorced daughter stretchedher food budget to “sur-prise” me with my favoritedouble cheese pizza withblack olive topping. Aftereveryone had eaten, I eyedthe leftovers and decided tohelp out by gorging on theextra slices.My subsequent gallstone

attack did not hurt asmuchas my oldest granddaugh-ter’s query: “Grandpa, whydid you force yourself to fin-ish the pizza? Mommypromised us it would be oursnack tomorrow.”Gluttonous guests—and

that includes me — shouldnot assume that “leftovers”are fair game. The hostessmay have plans for them.

— S.G. IN LAGUNAWOODS

DEAR S.G.: How true.Wisdom — and good man-ners—dictate that nothingshould be taken from thehost’s kitchen without per-mission. I have receivedmore than one letter overthe years describing a re-frigerator raid in which theguest wound up with asandwich loaded with whatturned out to be pet food.

Famous hand �� Contract Bridge — By Steve Becker

CHARLES WILSONAssociated Press

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Grief overa deadly stage collapse gave way to ex-citement over animal exhibits anddeep-fried bubblegum Friday as thou-sands of people poured into an Indi-ana State Fair trying to bounce backfrom its most trying year.Visitors bustled from rides to food

stands, with only a few pausing toread the seven names inscribed on aplaque that serves as a memorial tothose killed last August while waitingfor the country duo Sugarland to per-form.The strong early attendance was a

good sign for fair officials who hopethis year’s event will help heal emo-tions and put the fair back on soundfinancial footing. Revenue and atten-dance plummeted last year after thestage collapse, and many questionedwhether the event often likened to afamily reunion would ever be thesame.Deanna Phipps, 35, of Kokomo,

Ind., went to the fair with her hus-band, Les, to watch their 14-year-olddaughter march in the Kokomo HighSchool color guard. She stopped at thememorial to the victims but clearlywas ready to move on.“I think they did the best they

could,” Phipps said of fair officials.“You would never think that (such anaccident) would happen.”The Aug. 31, 2011, collapse occurred

when high winds sent stage riggingplunging onto fans awaiting the Sug-arland concert. The deaths and dozensof injuries sparked months of investi-gations and lawsuits amid questionsabout why the show wasn’t canceledor postponed. Fair officials made bigchanges to their safety procedures andchanged the organization’s manage-ment structure. Lawmakers passed abill requiring state inspections of suchtemporary structures.Some fair visitors, however, said

concertgoers shouldn’t have countedon officials to tell them when it wasn’tsafe to stay.“People just need to use common

sense,” said Verlena Jones, 82, of Mon-ticello, Ind., who came to the fair withher husband John, 76. “If it looks likeit’s going to storm, get the heck out ofthere.”But even fairgoers focused on mov-

ing forward will feel the impact of lastyear’s collapse.Ticket prices are up and a new

parking fee has been implemented asofficials try to make up the losses fromlast year, when they had to cancel sev-eral big concerts and close for a day.Attendance was down 8 percent from2010, and the fair’s overall revenue fellfrom $11.9 million in 2010 to $8.38million in 2011.This year’s headline concerts, which

include performances by BarryManilow, Train and Blake Shelton,have been moved to Bankers LifeFieldhouse in downtown Indianapolis.

That means huge crowds of people —and the money they’d typically spendat the fair — may never make it to thefairgrounds.Fair organizers hope to offset that

impact by promoting discounted tick-ets and offering concertgoers who at-tend the downtown shows freeadmission on any day of the 17-dayfair.Officials also are increasing the

number of free shows on a permanentstage, where acts like REO Speed-wagon and MC Hammer will perform.The grandstand will offer more thrill-based entertainment, like motorcycleraces, tractor pulls and monster truckrallies.Cindy Hoye, executive director of

the Indiana State Fair Commission,described this year’s even as one of“healing,” but she also said the victimsof the collapse won’t be forgotten.A moment of silence is planned for

8:46 p.m. Aug. 13, the anniversary ofthe collapse. Amusement rides, gamesand concession stands will come to ahalt, perhaps for as long as five min-utes.Ashley Gregory, 21, of Danville,

Ind., who was in the grandstand atlast year’s Sugarland concert but was-n’t injured, said the fair “feels differ-ent” this year but she couldn’t stayaway.“I love the state fair. I’ll always come

back to the support the fair,” said Gre-gory, who paused to reflect by theplaque honoring those killed.

THE INDIANAPOLIS STAR, ROB GOEBEL/AP PHOTO In this Wednesday, Aug. 1 photo, preparations are ongoing for the opening of the Indiana State Fair at theIndiana State Fairgrounds, in Indianapolis. The Indiana State Fair opens Friday with many changes after lastyear’s deadly stage collapse and hopes of promoting healing as organizers try to move beyond the shadowof the collapse. But there will be many changes — no concerts at the grandstand, higher ticket prices, paidparking that once was free. Fair officials say there are new offerings too, including more concerts on a newlyregulated free stage.

Tipp City man’s book, ‘Tipp Talk’ published

BY AMY MAXWELLOhio Community [email protected]

TIPP CITY – Tipp City resi-dent Greg Enslen recently hadhis book, “Tipp Talk 2011,” pub-lished by Gypsy Publicationslocated in Troy. “Tipp Talk2011” is his fifth book, and thefirst of his work to be publishedby a publishing company. En-slen has self-published his pre-vious four books.“Tipp Talk” is one of two non-

fiction books; his other worksare fiction novels. “Tipp Talk2011” is a compilation of En-slen’s column that runs in theTippecanoe Gazette and origi-nated in the Weekly RecordHerald. The collection recountsthe local and regional chal-lenges, events and activities inand around the town of Tipp

City.Upon publication by Gypsy

Publications, Enslen addedextra storiesand photosto the pieceand also in-cluded anindex of peo-ple men-tioned in thestories.G y p s y

Publicationsis also in theprocess ofpublishing Enslen’s secondbook, “The Ghost of BlackwoodLane.” It revolves around Greg,who had his memory erasedupon his father testifyingagainst the mafia in St. Louisand fleeing to Los Angeles.Greg’s memory was supposedto be able to be restored by a

saying a phrase that wouldbring it back, but the only psy-chologist that knew the phrasewas killed and his father can’tremember the phrase.So Greg ventures back to St.

Louis to unlock the memoriesafter he begins to have dreamsof his past. Enslen shortenedthe original version that wasself-published for the release ofthe book by Gypsy Publicationsby tightening the story and cut-ting some chapters.The bookwill be released to the public inOctober after Gypsy submitsthe novel to companies on thenational level for review first.Since Gypsy was the one to

approach Enslen about publi-cation, Enslen said beingsought out by a publisher hasmade him feel validated in hiswriting career.“It’s nice to have someone be-

sides my mother telling mehow good my writing is,” En-slen chuckled.Enslen feels the process of

self-publishing is very differentthan being published by a pub-lisher.“It feels great to have the

weight of a publishing companybehind you, although you alsohand over the control of thepublishing process from your-self to the publisher and theycall the shots of what happensand when,” he said.Enslen has been writing for

the past 20 years, but feels hehas tightened his focus withinthe last five years. Other proj-ects over the years includedEnslen owning and operatingthe video game pay-to-playbusiness Big Robot Game Café,which was located in Tipp Cityand closed in 2010.Enslen spends his days as

“Mr. Mom” to his three chil-dren, Xander, 10, Annabelle, 8,

and Catherine, 2. His wife,Samantha, works full time atthe corporate editing companyshe owns, Dragonfly Editorial.“When all the kids are calm,

happy, or asleep-then that iswhen I write,” Enslen said.He is currently working on

two additional books for futurerelease. One is a mystery set inTipp City called “A Field ofRed,” which may turn into a se-ries centered around FrankHarper, a retired FBI agent.The second is an action-ad-

venture, Tom Clancy-esquenovel called “Wildcat Moun-tain.” This would be the first ina trilogy about the race to solvethe mystery of an entire 747carrying the vice president andmembers of an internationaltrade delegation that just dis-apperas.For more information on En-

slen and his work, visit hiswebsite atwww.gregenslen.com.

RecordroundGover defendsEcho Hills titleBY ROB KISERSports [email protected]

Piqua golfer Ben Goverhad high hopes of defend-ing his Echo Hills ClubChampionship over theweekend — he just had noidea it would be in record-setting fashion.Gover had a club cham-

pionship record 9-underpar 63 Saturday and fol-lowed it up with a one-under par 71 Sunday for a10-shot victory over BrianRobbins and Brian Deal.Robbins won the a play-

off with Deal for second,birdieing the first hole.“No, not at all,” Gover

said about his expecta-tions of a record round.“Before this, 66 was mylowest round out here andthat was a couple of weeksago.”And Gover, playing with

Robbins and Doug HarterSaturday, had to waitlonger than expected toget things started — therewas a 30-minute lightningdelay Saturday.“We were just getting

ready to start when thehorn blew,” Gover said. “Itook it as a good thing —because we were at theclubhouse and not on thecourse when the delaystarted.”

CINCINNATI (AP) — Clint Hurdle de-cided to keep A.J. Burnett pitching on hisregular day so he didn't miss the show-down with the Cincinnati Reds.The Pittsburgh Pirates had a day off

Thursday that allowed Burnett to face theReds and improve to 7-2 after a team loss.Burnett remained undefeated against

the Reds this season and Starling Martehit a tiebreaking two-run triple to help thePittsburgh Pirates salvage the finale oftheir three-game series with a 6-2 win onSunday."I've never had an ace before," Hurdle

said. "We have a guy with the experienceA.J. brought with him.Neil Walker hit a two-run home run and

All-Star center fielder Andrew McCutchenadded a solo shot as Pittsburgh snappedCincinnati's win streak at five and cut theReds lead in the National League CentralDivision to 4 1-2 games.Burnett (14-3) allowed just one hit after

the first inning and retired 18 straightbatters before yielding two walks with twoouts in the ninth. He allowed three hitsand two runs with three walks and sevenstrikeouts in 8 2-3 innings to improve to 3-0 in three starts against the Reds this sea-son."After the second inning he was just

rock solid. He got some quick outs," Hur-dle said.Burnett shrugged off the stopper's tag."I just want to win whatever it takes, if

it's my day it's my responsibility."Joel Hanrahan got the final out for his

32nd save.A heavy rain began to fall in the top of

the ninth and likely prevented Burnettfrom completing the game."It was nothing I haven't faced before,"

Burnett said. "I probably should havecalled time but with three outs to go, I wastrying to get through it real quick."

OR ONE OF OUR DAILY PRIZES

LONG POND, Pa. (AP)— Jeff Gordon took ad-vantage of an accidentsparked by teammateJimmie Johnson and atouch of timely rain atPocono Raceway to winhis first race of the season.Gordon earned his 86th

career victory Sunday,winning for the first timesince September 2011 atAtlanta Motor Speedwayto thrust himself intowild-card contention inthe Chase for the SprintCup championship.Johnson inadvertently

gave his Hendrick Motor-sports teammate the helphe needed. Johnson gotloose off a restart andknocked Matt Kensethinto the wall. Kenseth sliddown the track and tookout Denny Hamlin. Withan unexpected opening,Gordon zoomed to the leadin the No. 24 Chevrolet."When I saw the open-

ing to get inside, I wastaking it," Gordon said.It couldn't have come at

a better time. The skiesopened and cars were or-dered off the track. Therace was called momentslater with 98 of the 160scheduled laps completed.Gordon, who turned 41

on Saturday, had been hitby a string of bad breaksthis season and knew heneeded wins over the finalsix races before the Chasecutoff to have any shot atrunning for a fifth cham-pionship during the 10-race playoffs. Gordonmoved into the secondwild-card spot that wouldguarantee him a berth inthe field.Gordon, who also won a

rain-shortened race atPocono in 2007, passedBill Eilliott for most ca-reer wins at Pocono withsix.Kasey Kahne was sec-

ond, followed by MartinTruex Jr., Brad Ke-selowski and Tony Stew-art.Kahne refused to rule

out another Gordon cham-pionship run if he stays inthe Chase field."Absolutely. It's Jeff

Gordon. Look what he'sdone," Kahne said.With the storms coming

— spotters told their driv-ers the heavy rain wascoming — Johnson was inprime position to followlast week's win in Indywith another trip to Vic-tory Lane. Something,though, went wrong withJohnson's car and hemade contact withKenseth. Johnson droppedback but suffered no realdamage. Kenseth touchedthe wall and slid down thetrack. Hamlin hadnowhere to go except rightinto the side of the No. 17.Hamlin was taken to

the infield care center andcomplained of discomfortaround his abdomen butwas released.Gordon, who was sixth

in the restart necessitatedby Kurt Busch's wreck,took off and took the lead."I know that you don't

want to win them quitelike this, but we've earnedit because of all the thingsthat we've done this year,"Gordon said.Johnson blamed a right

rear flat tire for sparkingthe accidents."I shouldn't feel bad

about that, but not muchyou can do with a right-rear flat," he said.Then the downpour

came. The scheduled 400-mile race had alreadybeen postponed about twohours because of rain."For all the things that

have gone wrong for usthis year, I still can't be-lieve what just happened,"Gordon said. "But, I thinkthis is the one that makesup for all the ones thathave gotten away. I'm justso proud of this team."While Kahne and Gor-

don had a great race forHendrick, Johnson andDale Earnhardt Jr. hadones to forget.Earnhardt was lucky to

maintain his overallpoints lead after he wasforced to the garage on lap51 because of a bustedtransmission. He later re-turned to the track andfinished 32nd.

Mourning does not lastlong in the NFL, evenwhen one of the most pop-ular players on a teamgoes down with a severeinjury.Browns outside line-

backer Chris Gocong suf-fered a torn Achillestendon during a goal-linedrill Saturday morning atthe team’s training com-plex in Berea and willmiss the entire 2012 sea-son. Surgery is scheduledfor Monday.The injury is a major

blow, especially if ScottFujita’s NFL imposedthree-game suspension forhis alleged involvement inthe Saints’ bounty pro-gram is upheld. Gocongand Fujita have beenworking as the startingoutside linebackers intraining camp.“Next guy up,” Coach

Pat Shurmur said follow-ing the afternoon practice.“We’re disappointed he gothurt, but we’re not goingto hang crepe paper here.It happens. Unfortunately,it happens. I’m very fondof Chris and the effort heputs into being a goodfootball player. There’s aloss, but the challenge isfor us to cover it up withthe guys on this roster.”Fourth-year linebacker

KalukaMaiava and rookieJames-Michael Johnson

are in line to replace the28-year-old Gocong. Rook-ies Craig Robertson andL.J. Fort will also get moreplaying time.“He’s a great leader, and

I know how hard heworks,”Maiava said of Go-cong. “He’s a positive guyon the field. The defenseworks better with him.“I’m hoping for the best.

But if it is as bad as wethink, then it’s the nextguy up, and we’ve got tokeep going and get a posi-tive successful season thisyear.”Gocong was covering

The Reds went into thegame with 22 wins intheir last 25 games and 15of their last 16. They arestill 16-4 since All-Starfirst baseman Joey Vottoleft the lineup with a tornmeniscus in his left kneethat required surgery.A pennant race is a new

experience for most of thePirates. Not Burnett."I've been in October.

This is nothing like Octo-ber," Burnett said.Still the win prevented

the Pirates from fallingtoo far behind. The Redsbadly wanted a sweep."You get greedy,"

Cincinnati managerDusty Baker said. "Whenyou start winning everyday, two out of three isn'tgood enough.We went 5-2on the home stand, butyou always want more.We're in a situation nowwhere, hopefully, we getsome guys back. Our guyshave fought through someadversity."Jay Bruce doubled in

the first, but Pittsburghtook a 2-1 lead in the sec-ond on Walker's 12thhomer of the season, atwo-run shot that tiedWalker's season high.After Stubbs tied the

score with his 14th homerof the season, the Pirateswent back ahead onMarte's two-run triplethat followed singles byGaby Sanchez and Clint

Barmes.Homer Bailey (9-7) al-

lowed nine hits and fourruns with one walk andthree strikeouts in 4 2-3innings on Sunday."Homer wasn't real

sharp," Baker said. "Bur-nett was real sharp. Hegot into trouble early, buthe got out of it and sailedalong until the ninth. He'stough. He's rediscoveredhimself. He's not 14-3 fornothing."McCutchen led off the

ninth against Logan On-drusek by tying his single-season career high withhis 23rd homer of the sea-son and first since July 17."Considering it's been a

while and I haven't beenfeeling that great, it feltgood," McCutchen said.

AKRON (AP) —KeeganBradley only wanted achance to get into a play-off Sunday at Firestone.All it took was a clutchpar, along with a stunningcollapse by Jim Furyk, forBradley to win the Bridge-stone Invitational andwrap up a spot on theRyder Cup team.Bradley closed with a 6-

under 64, and the finalstroke was the most im-portant — a 15-foot puttto save par from a pluggedlie in the bunker.Furyk, who led for 71

holes and looked solidthroughout the finalround, chopped up the18th hole for a doublebogey to throw away achance at his first winsince the 2010 TourChampionship. He missedthe green from the fair-way. His chip with one footin the sand barely clearedthe bunker and stayed inthe thick collar. He hit aweak chip to 5 feet, andhis bogey putt never had achance.Furyk dropped his put-

ter when the ball left hisblade. He went from whatappeared to be a certainwin to a 69 and a tie forsecond with SteveStricker, who made fourbirdies on his last fiveholes for a 64."I've got no one to blame

but myself," Furyk said."There's no way I shouldhave made more than 5."Bradley won for the

first time since last yearin PGA Championship,and now goes to KiawahIsland to defend his titlewith a lot more confi-dence."I still can't believe it,"

he said.Bradley was four shots

behind going into the finalround, and was six shots

back when Furyk openedwith three straightbirdies. Bradley keptpecking away at the lead,holing a 25-foot birdie putton the seventh, scram-bling for par on the 12th,and starting the back ninewith a pair of birdies.Furyk finally answered

with an 18-foot birdie putton the 16th, only forBradley to follow him infor birdie from 12 feet.Furyk had a one-shot leadplaying the 18th, and gotone big break when hepulled his tee shot into thetrees and it ricocheted outinto the fairway.That's where it all

started to go wrong.He went long of the

green and the ball hoppedout of the bunker and intothe thick collar, forcing

him to put his left foot intothe sand. He flubbed thechip, just over the bunkerinto more thick grass, andhis chip was a clunker,rolling out to just over 5feet.Bradley also went long

and plugged into the sand,and he blasted out to 15feet behind the hole. Thedynamics changed so sud-denly. There was a chancefor a four-way playoff ifBradley and Furykmissed, and Louis Oost-huizen made his birdieputt form just outside 12feet.Bradley, whose putting

carried him to a comebackin the PGA Champi-onship, hit a pure strokefor the par to finish on 13-under 267.Then, it was upto Furyk to force the play-

off."I hit my worst putt of

the week," Furyk said.Bradley has three wins

in two years on the PGATour, including a majorand aWorld Golf Champi-onship. He is only the 11thplayer to have won amajor and a WGC.Stricker found his put-

ting stroke at Firestone —not that it was ever deepin hiding — and showedthat down the stretch withhis closing stretch ofbirdies. It was an impor-tant performance forStricker, who moved upthree spots to No. 10 inthe Ryder Cup standings.Furyk is No. 11, followedby Rickie Fowler at No. 12.Bradley moved to No. 4,

and bumped out HunterMahan from the top eight

for automatic spots afterthe PGA Championshipnext week.Oosthuizen closed with

a 69 to finish alone infourth. Justin Rose (67)and Rory McIlroy (68)were another shot behind.Tiger Woods played

bogey-free for a 66, hislowest score since a 65 inthe second round at BayHill at the end of March.He was never in the tour-nament, 11 shots behindgoing into the final round,though he picked up thetiniest of consolations. Henow has back-to-back fin-ishes in the top 10 on thePGA Tour for the firsttime in nearly three years.And he at least heads toKiawah Island feelinggood about his game."I hit a lot of good shots

and never really sniffedmaking a bogey all day,"said Woods, who playedhis final 23 holes withouta bogey. "I feel very goodabout where I'm at. I'm ex-cited about it."The nature of the

course changed drasticallywith one-quarter inch ofrain overnight, and aburst of showers thatstopped play for nearlythree hours Sunday morn-ing. Shots to the greenwere spinning back in-stead of bouncing forward.Pars no longer were goodenough.Furyk picked up on that

quickly, and came out evenstronger than he did onSaturday.He stuffed his approach

into 4 feet for birdie on thefirst hole, came up justshort of the green on thepar-5 second for an easybirdie, and then holed a10-foot birdie putt on thethird hole. It still wasn'tenough to shake Oost-huizen, who made a longbirdie on the opening holeand missed a 12-foot eagletry on the second. TheSouth African was in posi-tion to match Furyk'sbirdie-birdie-birdie startuntil he missed a 4-footeron the third.That was a sign of trou-

ble to come. Oosthuizenmissed another short putton the fifth for par, andfailed to save par on theninth to fall four shots be-hind. He only caught up atthe end.Furyk, meanwhile,

dropped only one shotwhen he drove to the rightinto the trees on No. 6 andmissed a 10-footer for par.He was rarely in jeopardythe rest of the way untilhe found himself in themiddle of the fairway onthe final hole, needing apar to win and watchingsomeone else take homethe $1.4 million first prize.

Once he got his roundunderway, the left-handerstarted in rather routinefashion, parring the firstthree holes.But, then the floodgates

opened.He birdie four of the

next six holes — settlingfor par at seven and eight— to finish the front ninewith a four-under par 32.“Once I made the first

one (birdie), that just gotthings going,” Gover said.“I was thinking, ‘I had 32on the front. If I can shooteven on the back, thatwould be 68 and in goodposition.”But, after parring the

first three holes on theback nine, Gover caughtfire again — a run of fourstraight birdies started ondifficult par-4 13th.Gover, who missed just

two greens all round, wasleft and above the treach-erous green, before chip-ping in.“That was pretty nice to

get that one,” Gover said.For Robbins, it was a

mixed reaction.“It was pretty impres-

sive,” Robbins said. “At thesame time, it is a little bitfrustrating. When hechipped in on 13, I wasthree under and only twobehind.”Gover birdied the short-

par 4s on 14 and 16, whilesandwiching a birdie onthe par-3 15th after hit-ting an 8-iron to 3-feet.“You kind of expect him

to birdie 14 and 16 if hehits a good drive,” Robbinssaid. “The birdie on 15 wasa pretty good one.”Gover agreed.“That was a big one,” he

said. “That got me to eightunder and I birdied 16 toget to nine under. I startedto think about it. BothDoug (Harter) and Brian(Robbins) were telling meto keep it going.”Deal playing in the

group in front of Gover,shot a 3-under par 69.

“Normally, you wouldfeel like you were right inthere with a score likethat,” Deal said with asmile. “I played well. Iknew on the 10th tee thatBen was 4-under par onthe front nine. On 16, theytold us he was eight under.So, I knew what he wasdoing. That (Gover’sround) was really impres-sive.”It could have been even

lower.On the par-5 18th,

Gover nearly reached thegreen in two, before set-tling for par.“I was thinking about

62 — that would havebeen nice,” he said. “Thechip came off my clubfacea little soft and I hadabout 25 feet.”He was able to two-putt,

holing a two-foot putt forthe 63.“I have never been so

nervous over a putt,”Gover said with a laugh. “Ihad a chance at 62, but 63is still really good.”As he waited out a two-

hour delay Sunday morn-ing, Gover admitted hewas hoping to get the sec-ond round in.“I want to see how a fol-

low up the 63,” he said.“So, I hope we play.”He got his wish and was

solid again, with fourbirdies against one bogeyand a double for 71 and a10-under par total for 36holes.“I shot 71 and won by

10 shots,” Gover said. “So,I was pretty happy withthat.”Deal and Robbins both

finished at even par 144for the tournament, beforeRobbins’ birdie on the par-4 first hole in suddendeath gave him second.Jeff Jennings (151) and

Ryan Pearson (157)rounded out the top five.

� Steve Hamant usedrounds of 76 and 79 for a155 totals and a three-shot victory in the Seniorsflight.Marty Jackson was sec-

ond after rounds of 80 and78.

� Jaydee Denson wonthe first flight, rallyingfrom a four-shot deficit fora one-shot victory overRob Kiser with rounds of84 and 85.The two were tied going

to the final hole, beforeKiser took four shots fromthe fringe.
