The basic managementpremise of the rec- ommendations is that outside organizations develop the proposed venues and activities, with the Fairpark managementacting as landlords. Thelikelihood ofthe historic buildings being used for livestock exhibitions is remote, Martin says.He sees them being developed into restaurants, in-line skating facilities and, possibly, movie theaters, in time. “Tt wouldn’t surprise meif one or more of the barnsdidn’t come down in theprocess, but interesting older buildings like that lend a sense ofauthenticity thatis hard to re-create,” Martin says. Giventheability of the Fairparkofficials to attract developers, Martin estimates most of the changes couldbe incorporated within three to five years. The major hurdles to the project would be competition from similar develop- ments at the new Gatewayarea andthecost of upgrading the old buildings to meet seismic code.

Greersays the two deals differ in scope, notintent. The original deal considered only the use ofthe weapon, which was properly used, he said. The second deal took a broad viewofthe entire incident. “Joseph set up this chain of events thatultimately led to him having to shoot this guy,” Greer said. “Ifhe had followed policies to begin with, he would never have beenin thatsituation.” Creswell and acting Police Chief Arthur “Mac” Connole say they are barred from commenting onthe twodeals. Joseph, Greer said, was off du- ty, outofhis car andtalkingto his wife when Westley Scott sped past him on 700 East near 900 South.

To avoid being run over, Joseph grabbed the open door,put his gun hand on the roof and jumped onto the door sill. Scott drove backward some 60 feet and slammed on the brakes, throwing Joseph to the ground. Joseph fired his weapon 11 times, striking Scott in the cheek and foot. Scott has not been charged in the incident, although tests allegedly show he was legally drunk.
