Ex-OSU prof
says he didn’t
give illegal tip
COLUMBUS (AP) — An
Ohio marketing guru is trying
for a comeback and maintain-
ing his innocence after spend-
ing several years in prison for
illegally tipping off friends and
family to a merger that netted
them nearly $900,000 through
stock trades.
Former Ohio State University
professor Roger Blackwell was
convicted in 2005 for insider
trading involving the Kellogg
Co.’s purchase of Worthington
Foods Inc., where Blackwell was
a board member. Battle Creek-
Mich.-based Kellogg acquired
the vegetarian food brand in
1999 for $307 million.
Blackwell, a nationally
known marketing expert who
had written several business
books before he was convicted,
is scheduled to give a business
speech Wednesday in Columbus,
his first since his sentence ended
in April. He’s now under three
years of supervision.
Blackwell, 70, told The
Columbus Dispatch for a
Tuesday story that the public
should be “incensed” about his
conviction.
“I didn’t do anything wrong. I
didn’t do anything illegal. I have
maintained my innocence from
the very beginning,” he said.
“There was no crime. I didn’t
make a penny, but I spent mil-
lions of dollars in my defense. It
didn’t wipe me out, but it did put
a big dent in my retirement.”
Blackwell resigned from
Ohio State in 2005, but a cam-
pus hotel and conference center
that he endowed still bears his
name. He told the Dispatch he
intends to fulfill a $7 million
pledge to keep his name on the
building at the Fisher College of
Business.
“It was the American system
of injustice that dishonored the
university — and not me,” he
said.
Blackwell in 2005 had asked
the federal judge who sentenced
him to allow him to serve the
community through volunteer
projects involving the treatment
and prevention of diabetes. He
told the judge in a letter that he
had succumbed to the tempta-
tions of fame and wealth.
“That now has all been taken
away and I see clearly that His
purpose in allowing me to make
the breakthroughs I became
known for can now be chan-
neled to helping achieve similar
breakthroughs in the treatment
of diabetes and other health
problems,” he wrote.
Blackwell said he is now writ-
ing three books — one about his
faith, one about prison life and
one about the U.S. drug prob-
lem. He said he also is working
with a prison ministry and con-
sidering offers from companies
for his marketing and consumer
behavior knowledge.
But if Blackwell is innocent,
his plans to make a comeback
are ill-advised, said marketing
and crisis management expert
Joe Marconi.
“If he believes he’s been
wronged by society and the
justice system, then he has a
project to work on — to clear
his name,” Marconi told The
Dispatch. “He should keep his
mouth shut, keep out of the pub-
lic eye and find a way to exoner-
ate himself.”

Q&A: Teacher pay changes in budget Marion Township Trustees
By ANN SANNER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Ohio
Gov. John Kasich wants to
change the way teachers cur-
rently get paid by tying their
wages more directly to how
well they and their students do
in the classroom.
The first-term Republican
governor’s pitch for overhaul-
ing teachers’ salaries and their
evaluations is part of the $55.6
billion, two-year budget the
Ohio House recently passed.
Teachers’ unions contend
the proposal relies too heav-
ily on students’ test scores.
But legislators who back the
performance-pay idea say it’s
time teachers get paid for how
much their students are learn-
ing and not how long they’ve
been teaching.
The spending proposal is
being debated before a state
Senate committee. Lawmakers
face a June 30 deadline to pass
the budget.
Here are some questions
and answers about how the
legislation affects teachers’
pay and evaluations:
Q: How would teachers’
wages change under the plan?
A: Teachers’ salaries would
be based on how they are rated
in a new evaluation process.
Their amount of training and
number of years teaching — the
main components in their cur-
rent salary schedules — would
not be given as much weight.
Instead, their employers would
rate them on four categories that
range from “highly effective” to
“unsatisfactory.” This new pay
scale system would begin in the
2013-2014 school year.
Q: Who would develop the
Ohio Senate OKs shortened period of early voting
By ANN SANNER
Associated Press
COLUMBUS — Ohioans
would see a shorter early vot-
ing period under a proposal
Tuesday that cleared the Senate
in this traditionally presidential
swing state.
The Republican-led Senate
voted 23-10 along party
lines to pass the plan, despite
Democrats’ objections that
parts of the bill could lead
to longer lines and discourage
people from participating in
elections.
Supporters argue they are
addressing inconsistencies in
the law and want to help coun-
ty officials save money at a
time when they’re struggling
to balance budgets.
Voters would have 21 days
to vote by mail and could cast a
ballot in person 16 days before
Election Day. That’s down
from the current 35-day early
voting period.
The measure gets rid of a
disputed five-day period in
which new voters can register
and then immediately cast a
ballot. Though, it also gives
people a chance to register and
change their addresses online.
The GOP-controlled House
recently passed a similar pro-
posal, though the two bills dif-
fer on the length of the early
voting period and a handful of
other provisions.
Under the House bill, a
voter couldn’t vote in person
until 10 days prior to the elec-
tion. It also changes the state’s
presidential primary from
March to May, and eliminates
a requirement that poll work-
ers direct a voter who is in the
wrong precinct to the correct
precinct.

guidelines?
A: The state superintendent
would come up with a new
framework that schools must
use for teacher evaluations.
The State Board of Education
would then review and vote
on the plan. Local boards and
superintendents could have
a chance to tailor it to their
schools’ needs and also include
any input from unions.
Q: Who develops the evalu-
ation standards now?
A: It varies by schools.
Local school districts have
their own set of criteria, which
become part of union contracts
with the teachers. The state has
a set of recommended stan-
dards they can follow, which
include whether teachers grasp
the topics they are teaching and
understand how students learn
and use tests effectively.
Q: What would these new
yearly reviews look like?
A: It’s unclear. That will be
largely up to the state super-
intendent and State Board of
Education. What is known is
that the evaluations must con-
sider how well the teacher com-
municates and the quality of
their teaching. In addition, the
educators would have to be
observed in the classroom for
at least 30 minutes twice a year.
Employers would have to use
other measures of student prog-
ress and teachers’ skills, which
have not yet been determined.
Q: How much emphasis
would be put on students’ per-
formances?
A: At least 50 percent of
each teacher evaluation would
be based on state test scores and
how much students improve
over the previous year.
Q: Would students and par-
differences before the governor
could sign a plan into law.
Many of the election reform
ideas in both bills come from
Secretary of State Jon Husted.
His office says his preference
is to see the General Assembly
pass the measure as soon as
possible in order to give elec-
tion officials time to imple-
ment and test the changes
before the 2012 presidential
election cycle.
Senate President Tom
Niehaus told reporters he’s hop-
ing an agreement can be reached
within the next couple weeks.
“Nothing has been brought
to my attention where someone
would say, ‘Hey, this is a major
point of contention. We’re not
going to be able to work this
out,”’ he said. “I expect that
we’ll be able to deal with the
issues pretty quickly.”
Niehaus, a New Richmond
Republican, said he was still
reviewing details of the House
bill, but was open to changing
the primary date to May.
Democrats have blasted
a provision in the bills that
would ban local boards of elec-
tions from soliciting absentee
ballot requests from voters and
also prohibit boards from pay-
ing the return postage on the
applications or ballots.
The boards in Ohio’s larger,
urban counties — those that
tend to vote more Democratic
— have typically made such
solicitations.
Husted and his fellow
Republicans have defended
the idea, saying it gives unifor-
mity and fairness to the process
because not all counties can
afford to send out the requests.
Sen. Shirley Smith,
D-Cleveland, accused the
majority of succumbing to
“politics, power and control.”

US hits 7 foreign firms
with Iran sanctions
By MATTHEW LEE

WASHINGTON — companies have been hit with
The Obama administration
on Tuesday hit seven for-
eign companies, including
Venezuela’ state-owned oil
company and an Israeli ship-
ping firm, with sanctions for
doing business with Iran that
helps fund its nuclear pro-
gram. At the same time, the
administration imposed sepa-
rate sanctions on more than
15 people and companies in
China, Iran, North Korea,
Syria and elsewhere for illicit
trading in missile technology
and weapons of mass destruc-
tion.

WH threatens to veto defense bill
By DONNA CASSATA
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
White House on Tuesday
threatened to veto a defense
bill, fiercely objecting to pro-
visions limiting President
Barack Obama’s authority to
reduce the nation’s nuclear
arsenal and decide the fate of
terrorist suspects.
In a statement, the Obama
administration said it gen-
erally supported passage of
the legislation, which would
provide $553 billion for the
Defense Department in next
year’s budget and an addi-
tional $118 billion to fight
wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
However, the administration
identified three provisions that
would prompt the president’s
advisers to recommend that
Obama veto the bill.
“The administration has
serious concerns with several
provisions that constrain the
ability of the armed forces
to carry out their missions
(and) impede the secretary of
defense’s ability to make and
implement management deci-
sions that eliminate unneces-
sary overhead or programs to
ensure scarce resources are
directed to the highest priori-
ties for the warfighter.”

Dems seek political edge on GM, Chrysler rescues
By KEN THOMAS
Associated Press
WASHINGTON
What’s good for General
— he traveled in Great Britain.
Motors and Chrysler could
be good for President Barack
Obama.
With the two Detroit auto-
makers rebounding after near-
fatal bankruptcies, Democrats
have started hammering
Republican presidential hope-
fuls Mitt Romney and Tim
Pawlenty for opposing the
U.S. auto industry bailouts, and
Obama, himself, is highlighting
the turnarounds as an example
of a tough — and unpopular —
call he made that paid off.
The president and his
Democrats sought political
advantage from the Tuesday
announcement that Chrysler
had repaid most of the $10.5
billion in taxpayer money
that saved the company from
financial disaster just two
years ago. GM previously
announced that it had repaid a
little more than half of the $50
billion it received in federal
aid. And both have emerged
from quick bankruptcies.
“Supporting the American
auto industry required mak-
ing some tough decisions, but
I was not willing to walk
away from the workers at
Chrysler and the communi-
sures was approved last year
by Congress and signed into
law by Obama. Nine other
sanctions under broader pro-
visions of the law.
The affected compa-
nies include Petrsleos de
Venezuela, Tanker Pacific
of Singapore, Ofer Brothers
Group of Israel, Associated
Shipbroking of Monaco,
Petrochemical Commercial
Company International of
Jersey and Iran, the Royal
Oyster Group of the United
Arab Emirates and Speedy
Ship of the United Arab
Emirates and Iran.
“All of these companies
have engaged in activi-
ties related to the supply of
refined petroleum products to
Iran, including the direct sup-
ply of gasoline and related
products,” Deputy Secretary
of State James Steinberg said
in announcing the sanctions.
U.S. officials say Iran uses
revenue from its energy sec-
tor to fund its nuclear pro-
gram. “Those who continue
to irresponsibly support Iran’s
energy sector and help facili-
tate Iran’s efforts to evade
U.S. sanctions will face seri-
ous consequences.”
For the most part, the
sanctions will cut the com-
panies off from business with
the United States, although
Steinberg said the penalties
had been tailored to fit each
firm. Petrsleos de Venezuela,
for example, will be barred
lation later in the week.
Last December, the Senate
ratified the New START,
signed by Obama and Russian
President Dmitry Medvedev
in April 2010. The pact would
limit each country’s strategic
nuclear warheads to 1,550,
down from the current ceiling
of 2,200. It also established a
system for weapons inspec-
tions.
START stands for Strategic
Arms Reduction Treaty.
The bill includes a provi-
sion that would prohibit pro-
viding money to the adminis-
tration for removing nuclear
weapons from operation
unless it reports to Congress
on how it plans to modernize
the remaining arsenal. The bill
also says the president may
not change the target list or
move weapons out of Europe
until he reports to Congress.
The administration said it
objected to the bill’s oner-
ous conditions on its ability
to implement the treaty. The
White House also said the
legislation “raises constitu-
tional concerns as it appears
to encroach on the president’s
authority as commander in
chief to set nuclear employ-
ment policy — a right exer-
cised by every president in
the nuclear age from both par-
ties.”
Provisions in the bill also
limit Obama’s authority to
ties that rely on this iconic
American company,” Obama
said in a written statement as
“I said if Chrysler and all its
stakeholders were willing to
take the difficult steps neces-
sary to become more com-
petitive, America would stand
by them, and we did.”
Back home, his top cam-
paign surrogates underscored
that message in a confer-
ence call that the Democratic
National Committee orga-
nized to coincide with the
Chrysler announcement.
“People are working today
who would be unemployed
if the president hadn’t taken
decisive action,” said former
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland,
a key Obama backer in an
important battleground state.
On the call and in press
releases, party officials high-
lighted the GOP’s opposi-
tion to the bailouts, which
occurred in Obama’s first
year as president.
Obama’s steering of
Chrysler and GM through
bankruptcy, for one, is certain
to become a common refrain
when he promotes his econom-
ic record in Michigan, Ohio
and other hard-hit Midwest
states with large pockets of
auto workers and large num-
bers of electoral votes he’ll

But it will not be banned
from selling oil to the United
States or affect any of its sub-
sidiaries, including the U.S.
firm Citgo.
Petrsleos de Venezuela, or
PDVSA, has delivered at least
two cargoes of refined petro-
leum products worth about
$50 million to Iran between
Dec. 2010 and March, accord-
ing to the State Department.
The Israeli company,
along with Tanker Pacific
of Singapore, are accused of
failing to exercise due dili-
gence in participating in the
2010 sale of an oil tanker to
the Iranian national shipping
company, which is already
under U.S. and European
sanctions. The two firms
are now barred from getting
loans of more than $10 mil-
lion from American banks
and from getting U.S. export
licenses.
The administration credits
the sanctions law with per-
suading five major multina-
tional oil firms to withdraw
from business deals with Iran
and convince major insurers
such as Lloyd’s of London
to stop covering shipments of
refined petroleum to Iran. The
State Department says it has

pliers in 17 European nations

providing fuel to its planes.
transfer terrorist suspects from
the prison at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, to foreign countries.
The bill also bars transfer of
detainees to facilities in the
United States, even for trial.
The administration said
that while it opposes the
release of terrorist suspects
within the United States, the
bill’s provision “is a danger-
ous and unprecedented chal-
lenge to critical executive
branch authority to determine
when and where to prosecute
detainees, based on the facts
and the circumstances of each
case and our national security
interests.”
During the debate, Rep.
Adam Smith of Washington
state, the House Armed
Services Committee’s top
Democrat, said, “In a time of
war, we must not take options
for trying and managing
detainees off the table.”
Also drawing a veto threat
is language in the bill that
would move toward reviving
an extra engine for a new
fighter aircraft under develop-
ment.
The administration criti-
cized 17 other provisions in
the bill, including language
that would delay the new pol-
icy allowing gays to serve
openly in the military. It said
it hoped it could work with
Congress to resolve the issues
in dispute.
need to win re-election. It’s
unclear whether taxpayers will
receive all their money back
but proponents say Obama’s
efforts saved about 1 million
auto-related jobs.
The two companies were
on the verge of collapse in
the final days of the Bush
administration after Congress
failed to approve an emer-
gency loan package. Bush’s
administration gave the com-
panies $17.4 billion in loans
and required them to develop
a restructuring plan by mid-
February 2009.
Obama’s administration
pumped billions more into the
car makers later that spring
but won concessions from
industry stakeholders, allow-
ing them to push GM and
Chrysler through bankruptcy
court in the summer of 2009.
Many Republicans opposed
the bailout — assailed as
“Government Motors” —
arguing that government
should not have intervened
in private industry. Many car
dealers protested the efforts
to shutter dealerships and
some conservatives saw the
bailout as a sellout to the
United Auto Workers union.
Bondholders and sharehold-
ers also complained that the

Wannemacher eying Bulldogs grab NWC

4-time Nationals berth
By JIM METCALFE
jmetcalfe@delpho-
sherald.com
WEST LAFAYETTE,
Ind. — Stacey Wannemacher
knows a thing or two about
success at the Division I
level.
The Ottoville native and
red-shirt senior at Purdue
University has qualified for
the Track and Field Outdoor
National Championships as
a freshman, sophomore and
junior — taking last spring
off.
She will be looking to
make it four times as she
heads to the 2011 NCAA
Outdoor Championships
East Preliminary Rounds
Thursday-Saturday at
Indiana University’s Robert
C. Haugh Track & Field
Complex in Bloomington,
Ind.
“When I first went as a
freshman, I was all excited.
I was too hyped up and
didn’t throw well,” the
daughter of Todd and Sandra
Wannemacher explained.
“Now, I just treat it as any
other meet. You save your
energy for the meet and
then let the adrenaline kick
in there.”
Wannemacher, one of
seven Lady Boilermakers
and 20 total for Purdue to
make it this far as announced
by the NCAA and the United
States Track and Field and
Cross Country Coaches
Association (USTFCCCA),
has overcome injury woes
this year to make it this far.
“I’ve had two knee sur-
geries and a torn bicep.
It’s been a tough year as
far as staying healthy,”
Wannemacher, a 2006
Ottoville High School grad-
uate, noted. “That’s really
what I’m trying to do now;
to stay healthy and get ready
for the Regionals. It’s been
a struggle this year and I’m
high school and college is
the mental focus. In high
school, I would sit there
and talk with my parents
before a meet, even at state.
Now, I listen to my music
by myself and get zoned in,
getting mentally prepared
and waiting for them to call
my name to throw.”
Wannemacher has the
14th-best shot put mark in
the East at 16.21 meters (53-
02.25) and the No. 12 ham-
mer throw at 59.37 meters
(194-09). Her career bests

thrown the discus and the

lege career, both indoor and

thriller over Knights
By Charlie Warnimont
Delphos Herald
Correspondent
COLUMBUS GROVE
— Columbus Grove coach
Cory King was concerned as
his team prepared to enter-
tain Crestview Tuesday after-
noon in Northwest
Conference baseball
action.
His concern cen-
tered around his
team not having
played a game in 10
days and the fact they could
be a bit rusty. What he saw
was just the opposite.
The Bulldogs answered
the bell against the Knights
and survived a shaky seventh
inning to post an 8-7 win. The
win gives the Bulldogs
a 5-4 NWC record and
they are 12-11 over-
all, while Crestview
dropped to 6-3 in the
conference and 11-8
overall.
“I think we came
out here and we played really
loose today. We just went
out here today and decided to
have some fun,” King said.
“For whatever reason, I’ll take
it. They put it together and
put up some runs against two
great pitchers for Crestview.
I’m extremely proud of my
kids for not quitting and exe-
cuting when they had to. They
did a great job of executing
tonight, which is critical in the
game of baseball.”
Execution was key for the
Bulldogs as the Knights ral-
lied every time the Bulldogs
took a lead.
Crestview had a chance
to take a lead in the top of
the third as they loaded the
bases with no outs on infield
singles by Steven Rickard,
Matt Holden and Brad Miller.
Nick Adam then lifted a short
fly ball to right field that
the Bulldogs Gavin Windau
hauled in. Rickard was hold-
ing at third but Holden did not
see that and tried to advance.
He was caught in a rundown
before Rickard decided to try
comebacker but the flood gates
opened as Rickard singled and
Holden was hit by a pitch to
load the bases. Miller plated
one run with a single and
Adam drove in another with
a fielder’s-choice groundout.
Singles by Jake Harmon and
Overmyer had the Knights up
5-4.
Crestview also went
to their bullpen to start
the sixth as Adam came
on to pitch. Columbus
Grove batted around to
push across four runs.
Roney opened the inning as
he was hit by a pitch on a
3-2 count. Blake Hoffman and
pinch-hitter Brady Shafer fol-
lowed with singles to load
the bases. After a strikeout,
the Bulldogs turned the
tables on Crestview as
Miller executed a perfect
suicide squeeze bunt to
tie the game.
“That is one of hardest
plays to defend when it
is executed right,” King
said. “Both teams exe-
cuted that play very well and
scored. It happened it got us
the tie and we were able to
pull away from there with
the win. Brandon Benroth has
been very clutch for us all
year. He came up with two
big hits to drive in runs in key
situations. We would like to
see that continue for the next
two years.”
Barrientes worked a walk
before Benroth came through
again for the Bulldogs with a
2-run single to left. The final
run of the inning for Grove
scored on an errant pickoff
throw to second base that
allowed Barrientes to score
from third base for an 8-5
lead.
Facing Bulldog reliever
Jake Miller in the top of the
seventh, the Knights immedi-
ately started to pose a threat
as Hallfeldt walked. Miller
retired the next Knight batter
before Rickard’s slow chop-
per was misplayed for an
error, putting runners at first

President Barack Obama’s
administration slapped sanc-
tions on PDVSA and six other
foreign companies for doing
business with Iran. The State
Department said PDVSA
delivered at least two cargoes
of refined petroleum products
worth about $50 million to
Iran between December and
March.
Venezuela’s government
strongly condemned the sanc-
tions, saying in a statement
that it is studying to what
extent “these sanctions affect
the operations of our national
oil industry, and the supply
of 1.2 million barrels a day to

Venezuelan Foreign

Venezuela was considering
the possibility of denouncing
the sanctions before interna-

the United Nations. He said
that the government’s rela-

peaceful and that Venezuela
intends to continue strength-

government.
Energy Minister Rafael
Ramirez said shipments of
heavy crude to PDVSA’s
U.S.-based subsidiaries will
continue, but the company
cannot guarantee shipments to
nonaffiliated private oil com-
panies. He said the details of
the U.S. sanctions are vague.
He said the government
was still analyzing the poten-

by PDVSA,” said Gustavo
Coronel, an energy consultant
and former PDVSA execu-
tive. “The real significance
has to be found in the psycho-
logical, political effect of the
measure.”
“It constitutes the first
real move of the Obama gov-
conference, adding that
“Venezuela reserves the most
proper response to this impe-
rialist aggression.”
The U.S. is the main buyer
of oil from Venezuela, where
Chavez’s leftist-oriented gov-
ernment relies heavily on
PDVSA’s annual revenues of
about $4 billion to fund its
social programs for the coun-
try’s poor.
Maduro told reporters
how these actions affect our
production and sales capac-
ity,” he said.
Ramirez sidestepped a
question seeking confirma-
tion that Venezuela shipped
oil to Iran.
Under the sanctions,
PDVSA will be barred from
any U.S. government con-
tracts, U.S. import-export
financing and export licenses
for sensitive technology.

Football star Hines Ward
is new ‘Dancing’ champ
By SANDY COHEN
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Hines
Ward added a disco-ball tro-
phy to his Super Bowl shelf
Tuesday night after he samba-
ed his way to the “Dancing
With the Stars” champion-
ship.
The Steelers wide receiver
and former Super Bowl MVP
won the title, besting actress-
es Kirstie Alley and Chelsea
Kane to become the season
12 champ.
“You are the MVP of
’Dancing With the Stars’ sea-
son 12,” judge Carrie Ann
Inaba said after Ward and
professional partner Kym
Johnson finished their last
dance. “You learned how to
lead the dancing, not only
in the dance, but you led
your partner out of injury.
You dance with heart and it
shows.”
Ward said after the show
that he owes the victory to
his partner, hard work and
the fans.
“The competition has been
so close all year, we knew it
was going to come down to
voting,” he said, “so we want
to thank our fans.”
Judge Bruno Tonioli said
Ward “really is like a ray of
sunshine when he enters the
arena.”
Ward was chosen by view-
er votes combined with judg-
es’ scores. All three couples
emerged with perfect scores
after dancing Tuesday night,
which kept the competition
tight. Ward came into the
season finale tied for first
place with Kane, who fin-
Grace to be replaced on TV show by Simpson judge
By OSKAR GARCIA
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — The
judge who sentenced O.J.
Simpson to prison plans to
take over for Nancy Grace
on the syndicated television
show “Swift Justice.”
Clark County District
Court Judge Jackie Glass,
who sentenced the former
football star to nine to 33
years in prison for armed
robbery and kidnapping in
2008, submitted her resig-
nation to Nevada’s governor
on Tuesday, her clerk, Elana
Roberto, told The Associated
Press.
Nevada Gov.
Sandoval received the let-
Brian
ter, his spokeswoman Mary-
Sarah Kinner said.
Grace said in a release from
CBS Television Distribution
that she’s leaving after the
show’s first season because
it’s relocating production to
Los Angeles from Atlanta.

ished in last place when the
votes were tallied. Alley fin-
ished second.
Alley was a fan favorite
all season, whittling down
her body as the daily dance
exercise allowed her to shed
38 inches by Tuesday. She
was also one of the most
amusing contestants on the
ballroom floor, losing her
shoes during one perfor-
mance and always getting
through her challenges with
a smile and a quip.
“I know I’m not alone
when I say I love you for
being you,” Inaba said
Tuesday after Alley and part-
ner Maksim Chmerkovskiy
finished performing a cha cha.
Alley wore the same dress
she had worn on day one
of the competition — nipped
and tucked by 38 inches.
“I’m just going to miss
dancing with Maks,” Alley
said of her partner.
Kane, who waltzed to the
theme from “Harry Potter”
with professional partner
Mark Ballas, was the first to
be eliminated Tuesday. But
she wasn’t too upset.
“The fact that I’m here
(in the finals) is super flatter-
ing,” the 22-year-old actress
said after the season finale.
“For me, I’ll never experi-
ence anything like this ever
again.”

sion,” Grace said.
Grace will continue to
host her justice-themed cable
show “Nancy Grace” on
CNN’s Headline News.
Promoted with the tagline
“no robe, no gavel, no prison-
ers,” “Swift Justice” featured
Grace sorting out varied dis-
putes submitted by viewers
and fans.
Glass said in a statement
that she’s honored to take the
new post. Her last day in court
in Las Vegas is June 10.
Glass, a former anchor and
crime reporter with experi-
ence on television and radio,
is known for severe sentences
and a strong personality in
the courtroom. She had been
a district court judge since
2003.
Simpson was her most
high-profile defendant dur-
ing a closely watched trial
that featured several back-
and-forth exchanges between
Glass and others in the court-
room. Some of Glass’ com-
ments were so animated, she
was parodied by “Saturday

The show opened with
an all-cast routine and the
Black Eyed Peas singing their
new single, “Don’t Stop the
Party,” to an energized audi-
ence.
Besides the Peas, the
Go-Go’s played their classic
“We Got the Beat” for a fren-
zied dance routine, and Josh
Groban sang “You Raise Me
Up” while Petra Nemcova
danced. Sara Evans performed
“A Little Bit Stronger” at the
end of the show, before Ward
won the mirrorball trophy.
Famed sports announc-
er Michael Buffer called
Leonard and pro wrestler
Chris Jericho to the dance
floor for a tough-guy dance-
off. Wilkinson reprised her
sexy, booty-and-bosom-shak-
ing cha cha, then nearly fell
off the judges’ table when she
finished. Radio personality
Mike Catherwood, who was
the first contestant dismissed
this season, poked fun at his
lack of dancing skills and
stripped down to a leotard
during his goofy routine.
Ralph Macchio, who daz-
zled judges when the show
first started with his quick
step, returned with part-
ner Karina Smirnoff for a
reprise.
Williams was the only
contender who didn’t take to
the dance floor. She instead
interviewed herself during a
segment where she said Alley
would “be a perfect drinking
partner.”

jokes about the trial.
“As you can see, I’m not
stodgy and stuffy,” she told
the jury in the Simpson case.
“I am probably more ani-
mated than what you expect
of a judge. That’s not to say I
don’t take this seriously.”
During one portion of the
trial, Glass became heated
when the lead investigator in
the case blurted out a claim
of possible misconduct by a
friend of Simpson’s.
“I’m surprised you haven’t
seen my head spin and fire
come out of my mouth at this
point in this trial,” Glass said
from the bench.
Simpson appealed his
conviction and lost, but the
Nevada Supreme Court ruled
that Glass erred when she
denied a motion to separate
his trial from co-defendant
Clarence “C.J.” Stewart.
Simpson’s lawyers had
alleged 34 instances of judi-
cial misconduct by Glass dur-
ing the trial. The high court
rejected them all.

Joplin leaders hold tight to rescue hopes

By NOMAAN MERCHANT
Associated Press
JOPLIN, Mo. — The search for missing
victims of Joplin’s lethal twister inched for-
ward methodically today, with city leaders
refusing to abandon hope that they would find
more survivors even as rescuers prepared to go
over ground searched as many as three times
already.
The death toll ticked upward to at least 122,
with 750 people hurt, from a mighty twister
that the National Weather Service said was an
EF5, the strongest rating assigned to tornadoes,
with winds of more than 200 mph.
“We are still in a search-and-rescue mode,”
said Mark Rohr, Joplin’s city manager. “I want
to emphasize that.”
Even as Joplin limped forward, violent
weather struck again, killing at least eight in
Oklahoma, three in Arkansas and two more in
Kansas. Late-night tornado sirens had Joplin’s
residents ducking for cover before the storm
brushed past without serious problems.
Shadowing the rescue work in the southwest
Missouri city of 50,000 people was uncertainty
over just how many survivors remained to be
found. Nine people have been rescued since
Sunday’s disaster, including two on Tuesday,
but authorities have hesitated to say how many
people are unaccounted for. They also said
many were believed to have simply left the
area safely.
Social networks were the tool of choice for
many people trying to track the missing — or
to let their loved ones know they were OK.
Several online efforts have focused on
Will Norton, a teenager who vanished on his
way home from his high school graduation
ceremony. Norton was driving with his father,
Mark Norton, when the storm hit his Hummer
H3. The vehicle flipped several times, and
Will was thrown from it, likely through the
sunroof.
Sara Norton was on the phone with her
father as the two drove home. Mark Norton
asked her to open the family’s garage door so
Mark and Will could get inside quickly. But
the two never made it.
I could hear him saying, ‘Will, pull over,
pull over,”’ Sara Norton said.
Mark Norton tried to grab his son, but the
storm was too strong. He was hospitalized
Tuesday, seriously hurt but still able to talk to
his family about what happened.
Will’s sister, Sara Norton, and other rela-
tives drove to hospitals throughout Missouri
to search for Will. More than 19,000 people
supported the “Help Find Will Norton” com-
munity page on Facebook, and Twitter users
were tweeting heavily about the missing teen.
“I just want to find him, that’s all,” Sara
Norton said Tuesday, on her way home from
a Springfield, Mo., hospital. “I’m just deter-
mined. I have to find him.”
Many posted prayers for Norton’s safe
return or repeated rumors about where he
might have been taken. Others commented on
videos that Norton, an avid videographer with
plans to study film in college, had posted on
YouTube.
Joplin schools were ravaged by the twister
and classes have been canceled for the rest of
the school year, but district officials are trying
to locate both faculty and many of the school’s
2,200 students. The effort has been crippled by
downed phone lines. Some students have been
located using Facebook.
“We just want to be able to find who we
can find and then as confirmation happens
offer support to the families if we find out that
a kid didn’t make it,” Joplin High Principal
Kerry Sachetta said. “When a tragedy happens
for a kid or a family, everybody tries to come
together and console everybody and make up
what we can whether it is food or emotional
support or a place to stay. That’s what we are
trying to do a little piece at a time.”
The Joplin tornado was the deadliest single
twister since the weather service began keep-
ing official records in 1950 and the eighth-
deadliest in U.S. history. Scientists said it
appeared to be a rare “multivortex” tornado,
with two or more small and intense centers of
rotation orbiting the larger funnel.
Bill Davis, the lead forecaster on a National
Weather Service survey team, said he would
need to look at video to try to confirm that. But he
said the strength of the tornado was evident from
the many stout buildings that were damaged:
St. John’s Regional Medical Center, Franklin
Technology Center, a bank gone except for its
vault, a Pepsi bottling plant and “numerous, and
I underscore numerous, well-built residential
homes that were basically leveled.”
Davis’ first thought on arriving in town to
do the survey, he said, was: “Where do you
start?”

Smart’s kidnapper to be sentenced

SALT LAKE CITY — Nearly nine years after she was

taken at knifepoint, raped and held captive, Elizabeth Smart is

wavered with emotion, even as she described the horrific
events of what she called her “nine months of hell.”
She recalled being forced to live homeless, dress in disguis-
es and stay quiet or lie about her identity if ever approached
by strangers or police. Daily, her life and those of her family
members were threatened by Mitchell, she has said.
“For nine months, Ms. Smart, a young teenager, was
subjected to unusually heinous, cruel, brutal, and degrading
treatment at the hands of the defendant, which caused great
emotional, physical and psychological pain and humiliation,”
a federal prosecutor argued in court papers filed in support of
a life sentence.
“Those nine months can never be recovered,” the document

Tea party targets schools

for ‘Constitution Week’
MALTA, Idaho (AP) — America’s kids will be learning
about the U.S. Constitution this coming school year with help
from a decidedly conservative Idaho publishing house, if a tea
party group gets its way.
The Tea Party Patriots, Georgia-based but claiming 1,000
chapters nationally, are instructing members to remind teach-
ers that a 2004 federal law requires public schools to teach
Constitution lessons every Sept. 17, commemorating the day
the document was signed. And they’d like the teachers to use
material from the Malta, Idaho-based National Center for
Constitutional Studies, which promotes the Constitution as a
divinely-inspired document.
The center’s founder, W. Cleon Skousen, once called
Jamestown’s original settlers communists, wrote end-of-days
prophecy and suggested Russians stole Sputnik from the United
States. In 1987, one of his books was criticized for suggesting
American slave children were freer than white non-slaves.
Interest in Skousen, a former FBI employee and Salt Lake
City police chief who died in 2006 in Utah, soared in tea party
circles after praise from talk show host Glenn Beck. Not surpris-
