RAPID CITY, S.D. - Additional charges have been filed against two bikers with ties to the Hells Angels for a shooting spree in Custer State Park Aug. 8 during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
Five people associated with the Outlaws Motorcycle Club were wounded and gunshots were exchanged by both sides, authorities said.
Chad John Wilson, 30, of Lynnwood, Wash., was earlier charged with conspiracy to commit a crime and attempted first-degree murder.
Additional charges against him in a superseding indictment include an alternative five counts of aiding, abetting or advising attempted first-degree murder and an alternate five counts of commission of a felony while armed.
John Midmore, 32, of Valparaiso, Ind., had been charged with conspiracy to commit a crime and aiding, abetting or advising attempted first-degree murder.
New charges against him include five counts of commission of a felony while armed.
Wilson and Midmore are being held in the Rapid City jail without bond.
Their trial was scheduled to start in January but will be delayed, said Tracy Kelley, Custer County state's attorney.
Wilson is a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle club, and Midmore was described as a prospect of a Canadian motorcycle gang, the prosecutor said.
The shootings happened near Legion Lake Resort as the Outlaws gathered nearby for the Sturgis rally.
Victims and witnesses told investigators that a white quad-cab pickup stopped near the group and a man got out and started firing a handgun, according to an investigator's report.
The victims and witnesses reported that someone returned fire on the truck. About 16 spent cartridges were found at the scene, according to the affidavit.

With the flu vaccine in short supply in the United States, health experts suggest a good way to prevent the flu is by hand washing. "Washing hands is still the simplest, cheapest, most effective way to stop the spread of germs," Sharon Selby, an infection-control practitioner at Mary Washington Hospital, told the Fredericksburg (Va.)
Free Lance-Star.
Hands carry viruses to the body's entry points for illness:
eyes, nose and throat. Hands should be washed before eating, handling food, after using the bathroom or after touching pets. A through hand washing takes 15 seconds, or as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday,"
according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. For those not near a sink, a hand-sanitizing cleanser can be used.

Figuring Out Horse Movements
If you've ever seen a Hollywood western, you know that horses gallop. In fact, in the movies, all horses seem to do is gallop. In real life, however, most horses have several other gaits besides the gallop.
The gaits are considerably different from one another. One difference is speed: The walk is the slowest of the three. The trot is faster than the walk, and the canter is faster than the trot. The gallop is the fastest gait of them all.
A big difference in the gaits is in the way the horse positions his legs while he's moving.
In the walk, the horse puts each foot down one at a time, creating a four-beat rhythm.
In the trot, one front foot and its opposite hind foot come down at the same time, making a two-beat rhythm.
In the canter, one hind leg strikes the ground first, and then the other hind leg and one foreleg come down together, then the other foreleg. This movement creates a three-beat rhythm.
In the gallop, the basic canter movement is sped up so that all four feet are off the ground for a suspended moment. Then, each hind foot hits the ground individually, followed by each front foot individually. To the rider, the gallop feels very much like the canter, only faster.
Depending on the discipline or type of riding you're doing, you may hear other terms to describe these gaits. For example, western riders use the term jog to describe a slow trot and lope for a slow gallop.
Just to confuse matters, the horse world has something called gaited horses, which are horses that naturally possess one or more gaits in addition to or instead of one or more of the basic gaits. Only horses of particular
gaited breeds have these peculiarities.

People taking iron-fortified vitamins without a diagnosed iron deficiency could get too much of a good thing, a Florida State University study finds. High levels of iron caused Parkinson's-like symptoms even in healthy mice without apparent risk factors for the illness, while accelerating the decline and death of those already diagnosed with the disease, according to the study published in Experimental Neurology.
In contrast, low levels of iron delayed onset of Parkinson's in mice with risk factors and slowed progress of the disease in those already infected. While low levels of iron delay the onset of the disease once the neurological stage is set or slows the degenerative progress, iron toxicity both pre- cipitates Parkinson's symptoms and hastens decline and death in existing victims.

'Chief' wins award for efforts in protecting kids from abuse
By Laura Hancock Deseret Morning News OREM — J.P. "Chief" Lilly leads a ragtag group of men and women who can be a child's dream and a child abuser's nightmare.
Sarah Ause, Deseret Morning NewsJ.P. "Chief" Lilly is the founder of Bikers Against Child Abuse (BACA). He is also a part-time professor at BYU. "If I have to walk into somebody's house and take their child out (to safety), I will," he said Wednesday night at Utah Valley State College.
Lilly, who founded the controversial Bikers Against Child Abuse, received UVSC's Excellence in Ethics Award and a standing ovation from the audience, which included a dozen leather-and-chains clad bikers.
While the 48-year-old therapist and part-time Brigham Young University professor did not say whether he ever engaged in violence to protect a child, he mentioned times when bikers have threatened alleged perpetrators or pushed them to the ground.
"We're not concerned (with) what is the legal thing to do," he said. "We're concerned (with) what is the right thing to do."
Lilly was born and raised in Southern California. He spent some summers with his grandfather on a Laguna Pueblo reservation in New Mexico, where he learned values of his heritage and a work ethic.
"We raised corn, chile, melons," Lilly said, tearing up and explaining his soft spot for family that fuels the anger he feels towards child abusers.
Lilly, who has tattoos on each of his arms, served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and received undergraduate and master's degrees in social work and marriage and family therapy from BYU. He married and had seven children.
He practices social work at Sierra Counseling in Provo and has become an expert in play therapy for children, serving as president of a board for a national organization in the field.
He began BACA in the mid-1990s out of concern for children, he says, and had to politic with bikers from outlaw gangs with names such as "Bandido George" and "Smitty" to receive permission to ride through their territory and wear a BACA insignia.
He says he's won respect and support from the four largest biker gangs in the United States: the Bandidos, the Hells Angels, the Pagans and the Outlaws.
But Lilly also proudly talks about his friends on the opposite spectrum — contacts at the White House, which included a meeting with first lady Laura Bush for which he received unique permission to wear his Baca gear rather than the traditional tie and jacket. He also displayed a picture of himself with Gov. Jon Huntsman Jr.
Thank you BABS

Lake Como members find the scandal involving former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley has revived bitter memories of his attack on the resort in 2003.
By CHUIN-WEI YAP Published October 5, 2006 LUTZ - In July 2003, Marion Hagans brought two of her grandchildren to a televised interview in New York with former U.S. Rep. Mark Foley.
"He looked my 16-year-old grandson in the eye and said, 'I'm here to protect you children,' " Hagans said, recalling the exchange on The John Walsh Show.
A month earlier, Foley, then running for the U.S. Senate, had compared Lake Como's summer nudist camp for children to child pornography and child molestation Web sites.
Hagans was among a group of outraged Lake Como members fighting to restore the resort's reputation.
These memories flooded back to Hagans on Saturday morning when a friend called to tell her Foley had become embroiled in revelations of his sexually explicit e-mails to underage male pages on Capitol Hill.
In this nudist community of 1,149 members, the revelations have revived bitter memories and brought no small sense of vindication.
Van Bradley, the resort's general manager, characterized Foley's 2003 remarks as an attack. Foley pressed for and got a state investigation into Lake Como that later found no wrongdoing in the resort.
For about a year after Foley's attack, the resort lost an uncounted amount of business from people Bradley knew.
They told him they stayed away because they did not want to be associated with nudism after the incident.
Foley's smear hit Bradley in a personal way.
"My daughter-in-law wouldn't allow my grandson to come back to the camp," he said.
At the heart of Pasco's nudist resorts - the county's second-biggest tourism earner - is a deep-seated fear that the industry will forever be associated with sex.
That's the kind of response that those in Lake Como have strived for 60 years to overcome. Its officials say the camp has strict rules barring sexual touching and remarks.
"If you grab somebody's butt, you are out," said marketing director Rene Niquette.
Its one-week Junior Camp for children 11 to 17, started 16 years ago, is conducted in a roped-off area. Two counselors are provided for every five children. Classes are taught on citizenship and civic values, among other things.
"Even going to the bathroom, counselors walk them," said Arlene Reed, Como's activities director.
As Foley's scandal unfolded, emotions ran the gamut at Lake Como.
"At first, I jumped for joy," Hagans said. "I took it personally. He had been trying to negate our children's nudist camp. It's not correct that he should make me or other participants feel guilty. Our kids are well-protected, and we teach them proper values in life. ... When I thought about it, I became quite angry. I feel he owes my grandson an apology."
Not that there is a chance Foley can visit to make that apology.
"Not anymore," said member Mike Chauncey. "Now he's on the 'Do Not Admit' list."
FLFLHTC; I AM PROUD TO BE A
MEMBER OF THIS CLUB. I AM
GLAD THAT FOLEY HAS BEEN EXPOSED AS THE HYPOCRITE THAT HE IS.
