GOVERNOR SCHWORZ-EN-NEGGER ADOPTS BEAR
45 Seconds
STARTING TODAY, A GIANT BRONZE BEAR STANDS GUARD OUTSIDE GOVERNOR SCHWORZ-EN-NEGGER'S OFFICE.
SPOKESMAN AIR-RUN MC-LEER SAID THE GOVERNOR SAW THE STATUE AND QUICKLY BOUGHT IT FROM AN ASPEN ART GALLERY DURING A RECENT FUNDRAISER IN COLORADO. GOV. SCHWORZ-EN-NEGGER BELIEVES SCHOOL CHILDREN VISITING THE CALIFORNIA CAPITOL WILL ENJOY HAVING THEIR PHOTO TAKEN WITH THE BEAR.
THE GOLDEN BROWN STATUE GREATLY RESEMBLES THE STATE ANIMAL OF CALIFORNIA-THE GRIZZLY BEAR-WHICH ALSO ADORNS EVERY STATE FLAG OF CALIFORNIA.
THE LIFE-SIZE BEAR WAS CREATED BY ARTIST STEVEN BENNETT.

Good lead, but include the name as well as the pronunciation guide. (Also, once per name is enough, and don't put the pronunciation guide in the slug.)
