tax abatements,
city asset sale
BY GREG SCHERGER
The Delphos Herald
DELPHOS — City Council
met in regular session Tuesday
evening and was addressed by
two candidates on the May 4
ballot seeking office in Van
Wert County.
Bill Evans, candidate for
the office of Van Wert County
Commissioner, expressed his
general views and intentions
for service in the position
sought; Evans is a lifetime
with 20 years experience as a
Also seeking the office
of Van Wert County
Commissioner is Mike
Jackson. Jackson stressed the
importance of the job, good
judgment and sound deci-
sion-making. Jackson cur-
rently works within the Van
Wert County Commissioners’
office. He cited his experience
in that capacity and intention
to provide a good working
relationship with the City of
Delphos.
Robin Ferris also addressed
council relative to the pro-
posed .4-mill tax levy for
owners. The levy will appear
on the May 4 ballot and, if
tinuity of the 4-H and county
Wert County. Ferris stressed
the importance of the local
4-H program, citing partici-
pation by over 550 students
teers in many facets.
The 4-H program was sub-
in county-supplied monetary
support this past year. Ferris
noted that fiscal support of the
program by the county is not
mandatory and the continuity
of the existing 4- program is
in jeopardy without the addi-
tional funding support.
In other action, council
supported a motion to close
Pierce Street from First to
Fifth Street and Fourth Street
from Franklin to Pierce Street
in conjunction with the “Mini

St. John’s elementary and
middle school students on

European debt crisis looms over meeting Delphos to revive bike patrol
BERLIN (AP) — Financial
markets reacted violently
today to a growing govern-
ment debt crisis in Europe —
and awaited clear word from
Germany that it would come
to the aid of heavily indebted
Greece to keep its financial
troubles from spreading to
other countries.
Markets looked for reassur-
ance from a meeting today in
Berlin by Chancellor Angela
Merkel, the International
Monetary Fund chief
Dominique Strauss-Kahn
and European Central Bank
President Jean-Claude Trichet.

Street. The easement will
allow the establishment to
install decorative rail fenc-
ing near the front entrance to
enhance some exterior seat-
ing. Safety Service Director
Greg Berquist indicated that
the area of request would not
impede the flow of pedestrian
traffic through the area. The
easement is renewable annu-
ally for a period of 40 years
at an annual cost of $1.
Council took prompt action
to legislation on first reading,
approving continuity of tax
abatement agreements within
the City of Delphos for enter-
prise zone agreements.
The participating firms
involved in the tax abatement
program include Orval Kent
Countryside Foods, Krendl
Machine, Ultimate Systems
and Vanamatic.
Also approved on first
reading was legislation to
pursue the sale of various
components previously uti-
lized within the city waste-
water treatment plant; items
rendered as surplus due to
recent upgrades to the local
system. CT Consultants will
act as an agent for the city at
no charge in the effort to dis-
pose of a variety of motors,
drives, starters, and control
units no longer required.
Councilman Dave
Eickholt questioned whether
the city could increase the
amount of parking spaces at
the city reservoir, indicating
that numerous parties are
now parking along the adja-
cent roadway due to insuf-
ficient parking. Berquist
indicated that the adminis-
tration would look into the
subject.
Separately, Berquist out-
lined the procedure of notifi-
cation to residents with yard
grass growth in excess of an
11-inch height limit. Berquist
noted that occupants or prop-
erty owners are notified of
excessive grass height vio-
lation and given five days
to provide cutting. After five
days, the city will cut the
grass and bill the resident
accordingly.
Councilman Kevin Osting
questioned an apparent recent
increase in the “hardness”
of Delphos water. Berquist
advised council that the recent
water hardness has been rec-
ognized and addressed. The
cause was apparently traced
to a recent shipment of lime
utilized in the water purifica-
tion process that was deemed
to be deficient.
share of support.
That has been interpreted
as reluctance and raised fears
Greece might not get the
money it needs to stave off
collapse. A default would be
a serious blow to the shared
euro currency and could
undermine confidence in
other country’s finances.
Finance Minister
Wolfgang Schaeuble insisted
that legislation to free up the
German contribution could
get through both houses of
parliament within a week —
as early as May 7 — if Athens
wraps up its talks with the
International Monetary Fund
and the European Union
quickly enough.
Foreign Minister Guido
Westerwelle echoed that
commitment, insisting that
Germany is ready to act
quickly in order to protect
the euro — as soon as Greece
has made it clear it will do
its part.

Ottoville High School senior Ashley Hoehn stands by the presentation board
of her project, “Influences of Cinnamomum cassia (cinnamon) on Pre-diabetic

Science and Engineering Fair (Intel INSEF). This is the third time Hoehn has attended
in the fair.

CLOVERDALE — her endeavors.
Around this time last year,
Ottoville senior Ashley
Hoehn prepared to take
her science project to
Reno, Nev., for the Intel
International Science and
Engineering Fair (Intel
INSEF).
This year, Hoehn is
taking the same proj-
ect, “Influences of
Cinnamomum cassia (cin-
namon) on Pre-diabetic
Characteristics,” to Intel
INSEF in San Jose, Calif.,
after making some changes
in her research and hypoth-
esis.
“This year, I wanted to
figure out how the cinna-
mon works rather than just
what it does to glucose lev-
els,” she said. “I took more
of a lab approach and got
together with a professor at
Ohio Northern University
who helped me to find a
way to observe what hap-
pened using E-coli cells.
I went to her originally
asking if there was a way
to grow human cells and
use them to test with the
cinnamon but she sug-
gested E-coli because it’s
less expensive and easier
to grow.
“I wanted to see if there
was an instantaneous effect
helping the glucose into
est interest of every European
citizen,” Westerwelle told
reporters.
Market worries intensi-
fied Tuesday when Greek
bonds were downgraded to
junk status and Portuguese
bonds lowered two notches.
The move by the Standard &
Poor’s ratings agency fueled
fears that Greece’s crisis will
spread to countries with trou-
bled finances such as Spain
and Italy that are too large to
be bailed out.
The downgrade “has
sent the bond markets into
meltdown and equity inves-
tors toward the exits,” said
Michael Hewson, an ana-
lyst with CMC Markets in
London.
Speaking during a cabinet
meeting today, Greek Prime
Minister George Papandreou
said that every EU member
must “prevent the fire that
intensified through the inter-
national crisis from spreading
to the entire European and
global economy.”

the cells or if the cinna-
mon just made a change
in the metabolic enzymes.
My goal was to prove
there was an instantaneous
effect, but that’s not what
happened. Either way, the
cinnamon still brought the
blood sugar down.” she
added.
Hoehn made another
small change due to some
suggestions the judges
made last year.
“I still used test sub-
jects, like last year, but the
judges made some com-
ments that it might be a
good idea to put all the
subjects on a diabetic diet
to see if that affected any-
thing,” she said. “I found
out there wasn’t much of a
difference in the outcome.

DELPHOS — Though law
enforcement replaced equines
with mechanical horsepower long
ago, less sophisticated vehicles
have remained in use. In addi-
tion to foot patrol, police also
use bicycles when appropriate.
In Delphos, bikes have not been
visible but the program does exist
and will be renewed in the near
future.
“The bike patrol never went
away but has been lacking for
the last few years. We have the
bikes; we have guys trained on
bikes; and we have equipment but
nobody has really been out there
on them with any consistency.
So, we intend to reinvigorate the
program by conducting training
and certification in-house,” Chief
Kyle Fittro said.
Fittro said Sgt. Mark Slate will
train someone to run the program
and anyone who wants to become
a “bike cop” will face rigorous
endurance training to qualify.
“To be a member of the

“I received scholarships
to the Florida Institute of
Technology and Nevada
College,” she said. “When
I graduate, I’ll be going
to ONU because I want to
major in pharmacy and they
have a great program there,
plus they hold science fairs
there every year.”
Hoehn is more con-
cerned with gaining the
experience that how her
project places in the com-
petition.
“My project is better
scientifically this year but
I’m not sure how comfort-
able I’ll be with the lab
portion,” she said. “The
judges all have Ph.D’s, so
I’ll probably go back over
to ONU before I go and
go back over it with the
professor.”
“This has been a great
experience and I’m just
excited to go back and
have the chance to make
some connections. I was
lucky to have an early idea
of what I want to do and
to have the opportunity to
get my foot in the door. It
definitely helps with pub-
lic speaking, too, and yeah,
it’s a lot of hard work but
it’s worth it,” she added.
Hoehn will be in San
Jose May 9-14.
Patrol, an officer must complete
a 25-mile endurance ride. It’s not
timed and it’s like an obstacle
course — you have to go down
stairs, under a limbo bar, jump
off the bike and tackle someone
from a moving bike and you have
to learn how to draw your gun
and fire, so it’s fairly extensive,”
he said.
The department’s primary
challenge will be to conduct bicy-
cle patrol at times when budget
cutbacks only allow for two offi-
cers to be on duty at a given time.
However, Fittro said there will be
times when three officers or more
are scheduled and bike patrol will
be feasible. He also expects it to
be utilized during special events,
such as the Canal Days Festival.
“The bike is neat because
at night, a bad guy can see the
patrol car’s headlights coming but
it’s harder to see a bike coming
toward you at two in the morning
when you’re trying to steal a car.
A bicycle officer may even acci-
dently roll up on someone trying
to steal a car. So, bikes are a nice
thing but our issue will be having
enough officers on duty for it,”
he said.

Two cabinetry
plants threatened
with closure
WAVERLY (AP) — A
major employer in southern
Ohio’s Pike County says it
will close its two cabinetry
plants if it can’t find a buyer,
putting more than 1,200 jobs
at risk.
Taylor, Mich.-based Masco
Corp. said Tuesday that if
there is no sale, the Mills Pride
cabinetry factories in Waverly
and nearby Seal Township are
likely to shut down by spring
of next year.
County officials say the
closings would affect one out
of ever four families in Pike
County, where unemployment
was already at 17.1 percent in
March.
The plants manufacture
cabinets that buyers assemble
themselves. Masco says sales
of the kits have weakened and
that it’s phasing them out.
The company says it will
consider “legitimate offers” to
buy the two facilities.

act on climate bill first
By MATTHEW DALY

WASHINGTON — causing greenhouse gases 17
Senate Majority Leader
Harry Reid said Tuesday he
is willing to bring up climate
change legislation ahead of
an immigration bill, the first
step toward resolving a dis-
pute with Senate Republicans
that threatened to derail a
bipartisan effort months in
the making.
Reid said the long-delayed
climate bill “is much further
down the road in terms of a
product” than the immigra-
tion measure, which remains
unwritten.
“The energy bill is ready.
We will move to that more
quickly than a bill we don’t
have,” Reid, D-Nev., told
reporters. “I don’t have an
immigration bill.”
Reid’s comments were
intended to help resolve
a dispute that emerged last
weekend when Sen. Lindsey
Graham, R-S.C., threatened to
withhold support for the cli-
mate bill if Reid pushes ahead
first with an immigration bill.
Graham’s threat led Sen.
John Kerry, D-Mass, the lead
sponsor of the climate bill,
to postpone a Monday news
conference unveiling the
climate bill, which aims to
cut emissions of pollution-
percent below 2005 levels
by 2020. The measure also
would expand domestic pro-
duction of oil, natural gas and
nuclear power.
Kerry said Tuesday he
was working with Reid,
Graham and others to revive
the bill, which he, Graham
and Connecticut independent
Sen. Joe Lieberman have
been developing for more
than six months. The bill also
has the support of the Obama
administration and a variety
of business and environmen-
tal groups.
“We’re not stopping, not
one moment. We’re meet-
ing, we’re talking, we’re
continuing to work at certain
issues,” Kerry told reporters.
“So we’re full-speed ahead,
folks, notwithstanding this
moment of public stall, and
we hope the issue can be
resolved soon.”
Graham said over the
weekend that he is angry at
Reid for considering a plan to
move an immigration reform
bill ahead of the climate mea-
sure. He called Reid’s idea
a “cynical political ploy”
that would destroy bipartisan
efforts to move forward on
climate and immigration.
Legislation to overhaul
immigration laws and grant
legal status to millions of
long-term immigrants unlaw-
fully in the country could cre-
ate problems for Republicans
in the midterm elections.
The bill is a top priority for
Hispanic voters — and most
Republicans are opposed.
Pushing immigration
ahead of climate legislation
would have risked angering
environmentalists, who see
the Kerry-Graham-Lieberman
bill as their best chance in
years to address global warm-
ing.
Hispanics voted heav-
ily Democratic in 2008, and
they’ve been disappointed
with President Barack Obama
and congressional Democrats
for not following up on cam-
paign promises to reform
immigration laws.
Reid is up for re-election
this year and trailing in polls
in Nevada, where Latinos are
an important constituency.
With Democrats facing a
tough political climate in the
midterm elections, energized
Hispanic voters could make a
difference in several states.

The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A
Senate showdown has put
Goldman Sachs’ defense of
its conduct in the run-up to
the financial crisis on dis-
play before indignant law-
makers and a national audi-
ence. Democrats hope it also
builds momentum for legisla-
tion, now before the Senate,
to tighten regulation of the
nation’s financial system.
Goldman Sachs CEO
Lloyd Blankfein testily told
skeptical senators at a hear-
ing Tuesday that clients who
bought subprime mortgage
securities from the Wall Street
powerhouse in 2006 and 2007
came looking for risk “and
that’s what they got.”
The Senate investigative
this month against the firm
and one of its traders.
Goldman’s CEO and other
executives were lambasted by
senators for “unbridled greed”
in an often-electric show-
down between Wall Street
and Congress — with exple-
tives frequently undeleted.
Unrepentant, five present and
two former Goldman execu-
tives unflinchingly stood by
their conduct before the Senate
Permanent Subcommittee
on Investigations, which had
probed Goldman’s activities
for 18 months.
“Unfortunately, the housing
market went south very quick-
ly,” Blankfein told the panel.
“So people lost money in it.”
Nearby at the Capitol,
Republicans succeeded for a
second day in blocking efforts
to move toward Senate debate
and a vote on the sweeping
Wall Street. Unlike with
the health care debate, both
Democrats and Republicans
say they want tighter regu-
lations passed — but they
disagree on timing and sig-
nificant details.
Whether Tuesday’s hear-
ing would help Democrats
win Republican converts
on the legislation remained
an open question. “It’s too
soon to tell,” Sen. Carl Levin,
D-Mich., the panel’s chair-
man, said in a brief interview
outside the hearing room.
“We’ll have to wait until the
dust settles.”
At the hearing, there was
hour upon hour — nearly 11
hours in all, winding up just
before 9 p.m. EDT — of com-
bative exchanges, occasional
humor and long stretches

A Saturday in the life of the Amish Cook
BY LOVINA EICHER
This is a diary of this past
Saturday.
6:30 a.m. — We awoke
to the sound of rain hit-
ting the windows. We are
very thankful for this rain,
because it will give our gar-
den and the hay and pasture
fields all a good
boost. The rhubarb
is really plenti-
ful this year and I
would like to make
rhubarb juice next
week. Our family
really enjoys this
juice, so we ran out
a long time ago.
Along with every-
thing else in the
garden, the weeds are also
coming along. The straw-
berry patch especially needs
to be weeded. Right now,
though, we are preparing
breakfast while my husband
Joe and the boys do the
morning chores. The horses
are enjoying being back out
on pasture.
7:45 a.m. — We are
ready to eat breakfast. On
our menu is biscuits, sau-
sage gravy, fried eggs and
potatoes, cheese, juice, milk,
and coffee.
8:30 a.m. — The girls
are now washing the break-
fast dishes.
9 a.m. — Elizabeth, 15,
leaves to go help get ready
for a wedding that will be
held on Wednesday. Joe
and the boys go out to help
COMMUNITY
at the wedding so she needs
a certain color and material.
This will be her first time as
a table waiter at a wedding.
We are also invited and Joe
plans to take off work for the
wedding on Wednesday. The
bride and groom both live in
our church district. I hope it
will be a nice, warm sunny
day for them.
(Editor’s note:
young unmarried
boys and girls
from the church
and the families
are chosen to be
“waiters” at the
wedding meal,
it’s considered an
honor to be cho-
sen)
Noon — The girls are
done with the cleaning on
the main floor. They heat up
leftovers for lunch from our
supper last night, which are
mashed potatoes, gravy, and
barbecued steak. After lunch
the girls clean the bedrooms
upstairs and the back porch.
It seems empty around here
with Elizabeth not being
home. After lunch, I baked
three rhubarb-custard pies
and gave the three boys a
haircut. One job I do not
care to do is give haircuts,
especially getting Kevin to
hold quiet long enough. He
keeps telling me to be care-
ful because I could cut his
ears off.
3 p.m. — Elizabeth
is back home. Susan and
Verena and Loretta are fin-
barn. She likes horses and
spends a lot of time with
them in her free time. The
girls are also going to take
the sugar cookies Elizabeth
baked to the place where
church will be held tomor-
row. It is within walking
distance so if it is not rain-
ing, we will walk.
4 p.m. — While Susan,
Verena, and Loretta go get
the milk, Elizabeth does
some ironing and I go back
to sewing on the dress.
6 p.m. — We have
mashed potatoes, hamburger
gravy, rhubarb pie, and ice
cream for our supper. I make
a gravy like a sausage gravy,
except I used hamburger and
milk instead. The children
like it over mashed pota-
toes.
9 p.m. — Everyone is
cleaned up and ready for
bed. It will be a long day
tomorrow as we will have
Communion services at our
neighbors. Usually we are
gone most of the day. With
rhubarb season in full swing,
I will share the recipe that
the girls made the other
night. These muffins are
great served warm.

in four windows and would
like to add three more to
the pole barn. It sure does
make it brighter in there.
The windows are some we
saved from our old house.
Meanwhile, Susan, Verena,
and Loretta start doing the
weekly cleaning. They get a
little bit of help from 5-year-
old Lovina. Lovina, though,
says she needs to keep going
up to her bedroom and check
on her little doll baby. While
they are doing that, I am

after milk at our neighbors
with our horse Diamond
and the buggy. They usually
take Stormy, our pony and
the pony wagon, but it is
rainy so they take the cov-

going out and harnessing
and hitching up the horses.
I never cared for that job
either but now I hardly ever
have to get the horse ready
to leave. Elizabeth or Susan
usually get the horse ready
for me. Joe is also glad he
doesn’t always have to stop

horse harnessed up. Susan,

On the May 4, 2010 Election Ballot there will be a 0.4 mill tax levy for 5 years to
support OSU Extension Van Wert County which includes programming in the areas
of 4-H Youth Development, Agriculture and Natural Resources, Family Consumer
Sciences, and Community Development.
Why is a levy necessary?
OSU Extension Van Wert County and 4-H are in jeopardy of losing local matching support, as has
happened in neighboring Allen and Paulding Counties. Locally, this is due to the Van Wert County se-
vere county budget short fall for 2010. The Van Wert County Commissioners have long been excellent
supporters of Extension, but will have to make cuts to balance the budget.

What happens if the levy fails?

All programs conducted by OSU Extension Van Wert County, including 4-H will be eliminated or
severely reduced. There must be local funding to continue receiving Extension programming.
Farm Application
Certification & Training Can the funds collected from this levy be used for other purposes?
No. By law, funds collected from this levy can only be used for OSU Extension programming in Van
Wert County. These funds will not go into the County Commissioner’s general fund. All the funds
collected by the levy must go directly to and be used only by OSU Extension Van Wert County. The
dollars will be spent LOCALLY.

How much will this levy provide in funding to the OSU Extension Office?
The Auditor’s office has given us an approximate figure of $190,442.

Is this more than Extension needs?

Compared to past dollars received from the county commissioners, this is more, but the OSU Exten-
sion office has not been fully staffed in the area of 4-H. We are unable to hire permanent 4-H staff for
county 4-H programs. The Van Wert County office has been able to raise enough dollars through the
Van Wert County Foundation to fund a 4-H Program Assistant, but this is a temporary solution. A levy
will provide stable funding for all OSU Extension programs.
Senior Nutrition Training
Who decides what the levy money is used for?
The Van Wert County Extension Director, the Van Wert County program Extension Educators, the
county Extension Advisory Committee (made up of Van Wert County citizens), and the Van Wert
County citizens all work together to decide the needs of Van Wert County. The needs of our county
as well as research available establish programming and where dollars are to be spent. The more dol-
lars available the more programming Extension is able to provide to a county.

Will any of this money support the OSU Extension Economic Development Office?
No. OSU Extension Economic Development is financed separately.
Master Gardner
Workshops
What is being done currently to cut/save dollars in the Extension Office?
Operating expenses are continuing to be cut to minimums as much as possible without reducing ser-
vices. A 4-H Program Assistant staff position has been filled on a temporary arrangement.

Vote Yes! May 4

Catholic senior right-hander

hits in a complete-game 4-1
Northwest Conference base-
ball victory over Jefferson on
a sunny but chilly Tuesday
night at Players Field
in Lima.
Linehan (3-2)
fanned nine and walked
three.
Jefferson (4-9, 2-3
NWC) had first crack
in the top of the first as Austin
Teeters walked with one out.
However, he was thrown out
trying to steal on a K/2-3 dou-
ble play to end the inning.
The Thunderbirds (12-4,
5-0 NWC) got all the runs
they needed against Tony
George (1-2; 4 IPs, 5 hits, 4
runs, 1 earned, 1 K) in the
bottom half. An error opened
the door for two of them to be
unearned. Nick Zerante and
Cody McCullough got runs

for the first time all night
Cavaliers fans finally started
thinking about a matchup with
the Celtics, who eliminated
Miami earlier.
The Bulls, though, had
other plans.
me Deng hit a jumper and
two free throws before Rose,
who made Cleveland defend-
ers look silly all series, made
four straight from the line to
pull the Bulls within 93-92
with 1:32 remaining. Two free
throws by James then gave
Cleveland a three-point lead
with 1:11 left.
Rose then tried a short shot
in the lane that went halfway
down before spinning out.
Cleveland’s Mo Williams,
who shot a dismal 2-for-13,
then missed a baseline runner
but the ball went out of bounds
off Chicago’s Joakim Noah.
The Bulls did get the ball back
on a steal but Rose forced up
an awkward left-handed layup
over Anderson Varejao that
was short.
James grabbed the rebound
and was fouled. He made his
first attempt to make it 96-92
but with his elbow causing
him pain, he tried his second
shot left-handed and it was
way off the mark.
Down four, the Bulls got a
layin by Deng just before the
buzzer.
Chicago, which had to
win down the stretch to earn
the No. 8 seed, entered the
playoffs amid controversy sur-
rounding its coach. Del Negro
reportedly got into a physical
confrontation with vice presi-
dent of basketball operations
John Paxson last month, an
incident the team downplayed
but could have long-term
effects.
Lakers 111, Thunder 87
LOS ANGELES — Pau Gasol
had 25 points and 11 rebounds,
Andrew Bynum added 21
points and Los Angeles vigor-
ously rebounded from back-to-
back losses with a victory over
Oklahoma City, taking a 3-2 lead
in its first-round playoff series.
Kobe Bryant had 13 points
and seven assists in three quar-
ters of work as the defending NBA
champions coolly shook off the
eighth-seeded Thunder’s series-
tying blowout win in Game 4 with
a comprehensive thrashing of the
postseason newcomers.
Game 6 is Friday night in
Oklahoma City, where the top-
seeded Lakers will attempt to reach
the Western Conference semifinals
for the third straight year.
Kevin Durant scored 17
points and Westbrook had 15 on
combined 9-for-27 shooting for
Oklahoma City.
Celtics 96, Heat 86
BOSTON — Ray Allen scored
24 points, making five 3-pointers
in the second half, to help Boston
eliminate Miami in Game 5.
With star Dwyane Wade
expected to become a free agent,
it was the Heat’s final game before
an eventful summer in Miami.
Boston advanced to the
Eastern Conference semifinals
thanks to 16 points, 12 assists
and eight rebounds from Rajon
Rondo. Paul Pierce scored 21 for
the Celtics.
Mavericks 103, Spurs 81
DALLAS — Caron Butler
scored a career playoff-best 35
points and had 11 rebounds,
Brendan Haywood provided a
strong inside presence at both
ends in his first start of this post-
season and Dallas stayed alive by
beating San Antonio in Game 5.
The Spurs still lead the series
3-2, giving the veteran club two
more chances to get into the sec-
ond round. Game 6 is Thursday
at San Antonio. Only eight teams
have ever blown a 3-1 lead.
Butler’s performance turned
Dirk Nowitzki into a sidekick. He
had 15 points and nine rebounds.
Jason Terry had 12 points,
while Shawn Marion and Jason
Kidd each scored 10. Kidd also
had seven assists and seven
rebounds.
Tony Parker led San Antonio
with 18 points. Half of them came

Dems taking a third run at banking rules

WASHINGTON (AP)
— Fresh off a confrontation
with Goldman Sachs execu-
tives, Democrats are mount-
ing another effort to police
the freewheeling Wall Street
ways that they say helped
bring on the worst recession
since the Great Depression.
Outnumbered Senate
Republicans have held
together for two days, twice
blocking the start of debate
on rewriting financial regula-
tions, in hopes of negotiating
changes in the bill. In the
protracted fight, Republicans
have cast the Democrats’ pro-
posal as a perpetuation of
taxpayer bailouts — a hot-
button issue — and accused
Democrats of writing an
overambitious bill that will
hurt small businesses.
Democrats are press-
ing ahead, hoping that
Republican resistance is
wearing thin and that the scru-
tiny of Goldman’s actions
in the market will stiffen
public sentiment against the
excesses of financial institu-
tions. Democrats scheduled
another vote for Wednesday
to sustain pressure on the
GOP in the expectation that
some incremental changes
to the bill ultimately would
force several Republicans to
relent and back the legisla- succeed as well.

‘Peanuts’ gang sold to Joe Boxer

By EMILY FREDRIX
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — You’ve
got a new owner, Charlie
Brown.
Newspaper publisher
E.W. Scripps Co. is selling
licensing rights for Snoopy,
Charlie Brown and the rest of
the “Peanuts” gang to Iconix
Brand Group Inc., the licens-
ing company that owns Joe
Boxer and London Fog.
The family of the late
“Peanuts” creator Charles
Schulz will also own part of
the business too, giving it
more control of and money
from the comic strip’s leg-
acy.
Heirs say the deal
announced Tuesday for for
the 60-year-old comic strip
is what the artist would have
wanted. Schulz worked for
decades to win back the rights
to his work, which many
other artists like himself sold
to appear in print.
Scripps will sell its licens-
ing unit, which also represents
characters such as Dilbert and
Raggedy Ann and Andy, to
Iconix for $175 million. The
bulk of revenue generated
by United Media Licensing
comes from the “Peanuts”
franchise.
Iconix will form a part-
nership with Schulz’ family,
who will receive 20 percent
ownership in the unit that
owns “Peanuts” and pay
that percentage of the sale
price.
Craig Schulz, one of the
late artists’ five children, said
the family is relieved to win
an ownership interest.
At the time of his death
in 2000, Schulz had approval
over all business deals and
the use of art, which his fam-
ily maintains. But now, they
can craft their own propos-
als and shape the legacy
of “Peanuts,” said Barbara
Gallagher, a lawyer for the
Schulz family.
The family could poten-
tially earn more money as
well, and already earns a
“significant revenue stream”
each year from “Peanuts.”
Scripps first brought the
strip to market in 1950 and
owned the rights.
“They were simply like
an actor in a play,” Schulz
said of cartoonists from the
era. “You did your part and
everything else you had to
give up totally, and that’s the
way the world was.”
His father fought for years
to get the rights back, even
threatening to quit until he
was given more business
and artistic control, said the
younger Schulz from Santa
Rosa, Calif., where the fam-
ily’s business is run.
By the time Schulz retired
in 1999, “Peanuts” was in
more than 2,600 papers
around the world and its
cast of characters appeared
everywhere, from T-shirts to
greeting cards and sno-cone
machines.
No new comics have been
drawn for a decade, accord-
ing to Schulz’ wishes, but
the licensing business is
alive and well. Some 20,000
new products are approved
each year in more than 40
countries. The business has
more than 1,200 licensing
agreements and relationships
with companies and retailers
such as Warner Bros., Old
Navy, CVS, MetLife Inc. and
Hallmark Co.
The unit’s licensed mer-
chandise has annual sales of
more than $2 billion, but the
owners of the licenses receive
a fraction of that. In 2009,
revenue of the unit fell 10
percent to nearly $92 million.
That figure includes United
Media’s syndication opera-
tions, which Scripps will still
own, meaning it will still syn-
dicate comic strips and edito-
rial features.
Scripps said the cash deal
will close by the end of the
second quarter.
Iconix said it expects
“Peanuts” to generate about
$75 million in annual royalty
revenue and noted an existing
revenue split with the Schulz
family will remain, separate
from the new 20 percent
arrangement. Iconix, based in
New York, owns and licenses
brands such Candie’s, Starter,
Mudd and many others, to
retailers, wholesalers and
suppliers.
Iconix CEO Neil Cole
said the purchase moves the
company away from being
focused solely on fashion
into new realms that include
theme parks, media and
financial institutions. The
family also hopes to pair up
the franchise with Iconix’s
fashion brands.

the best in ‘Idol’ singers
By DERRIK J. LANG
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Not so
fast, Crystal Bowersox.
The other “American Idol”
finalists rose to the occasion
Tuesday during an evening
of Shania Twain tunes on
the Fox singing contest. After
weeks of unabashed praise,
the show’s judges weren’t so
overwhelmed with the folksy
rendition of “No One Needs
To Know” from the usually
captivating 24-year-old musi-
cian from Toledo, Ohio. They
still kinda liked it though.
“It’s kind of impossible
for you not to be good,” judge
Kara DioGuardi said.
Aaron Kelly, the sheep-
ish 17-year-old high school
student from Sonestown, Pa.,
won back the judges with
his booming take on mentor
Twain’s “You’ve Got a Way,”
which included changing the
lyrics from “the way we make
love” to “the way you show
love.” Simon Cowell said the
passionate performance made
Kelly seem like a “different
artist” after weeks ho-hum
endeavors.
“Tomorrow’s gonna be
real tough,” Ellen DeGeneres
declared after Kelly per-
formed.
The other male singers
also had no problem nail-
ing Twain’s tunes, includ-
ing 24-year-old paint sales
clerk Lee Dewyze of Mount
Prospect, Ill., with an edgy
“Still the One,” 26-year-old
personal trainer Michael
Lynche of Queens, N.Y., with
an emotional “It Only Hurts
When I’m Breathing” and
27-year-old musician Casey
James of Fort Worth, Texas,
with a raw “Don’t!”
“This could be a great thing
in your wheelhouse,” Randy
Jackson informed James.
Siobhan Magnus closed the
show by strutting across the
stage and through the audi-
ence while crooning “Any
Man of Mine.” Jackson later
told the 20-year-old glass-
blower from Marstons Mills,
Mass., that he loved every-
thing about it. Magnus ended
the upbeat performance with
one of her signature howls,
which Cowell decided sound-
ed like Magnus was “giving
birth up there.”
Another finalist will get
the boot Wednesday, leaving
five singers in the competi-
tion.
to be released this fall
By HILLEL ITALIE
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Musings
about life, literature and
other rarely seen writings by
Marilyn Monroe will be pub-
lished this fall.
Farrar, Straus & Giroux
announced Tuesday that
“Fragments” would come out
in October. Editor Courtney
Hodell said the book would
include poems, photographs,
reflections on third husband
Arthur Miller and other men
in Monroe’s life, and refer-
ences to works by Samuel
Beckett, James Joyce and
numerous other authors.
“I think the book will show
that she was a really thought-
ful person with a real interior
life,” Hodell said. “She was
a great reader and someone
with real writing flair. There
are fragments of poetry that
are really quite beautiful, lines
that stop you in your tracks.”
The book features a long
essay about Monroe’s first
husband, James Dougherty;
notes about acting and the
roles she was working on;
lists of resolutions and a letter
to acting coach Lee Strasberg.
Monroe wrote on everything
from spiral bound notebooks
to stationery from the Waldorf
Astoria.
The writings date from
1943, when Monroe was a
teenager, to near the end of
her life. Monroe was found
dead in her Los Angeles
home in 1962 at age 36, her
death ruled a probable sui-
cide, although theories of
murder have proliferated.
Hodell said there were
passages by Monroe that
“make her seem suicidal,” but
declined to say what years the
passages were written. Hodell
also declined to say wheth-
er Monroe referred to Joe
DiMaggio, her second of three
husbands, or President John F.
Kennedy, with whom she was
widely rumored to have had
an affair. But Hodell did say
that “there’s stuff about all of
her relationships here.”
The book was commis-
sioned by Anna Strasberg,
who manages Monroe’s
estate and is Lee Strasberg’s
widow.

Fundraising spares Hollywood sign from sprawl

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
The Hollywood sign, a beacon
to stars and star-struck alike, has
been saved from urban sprawl
under a land conservation pact
announced Monday after a
donation by Playboy founder
Hugh Hefner capped a multimil-
lion-dollar fundraising drive.
“It’s a symbol of dreams and
a symbol of opportunity and
hope,” actor-turned Gov. Arnold
Schwarzenegger told a press
conference below the towering
letters. “The Hollywood sign
will welcome dreamers, artists
and Austrian bodybuilders for
generations to come.”
The huge sign overlook-
and a $500,000 matching grant
completed a $12.5 million fund-
raising drive to protect 138 acres
from development that would
have altered the globally recog-
nized symbol of the world’s film
and television capital.
“My childhood dreams and
fantasies came from the mov-
ies, and the images created in
Hollywood had a major influ-
ence on my life and Playboy,”
Hefner said.
Schwarzenegger praised the
public and private partnership
Does Your Stone Driveway
that raised the money to keep
the property out of the hands of
developers.
The Trust for Public Land
conservation group raised $6.7
million in private funds, the
state offered $3.1 million, and
local funds totaled $2.7 million.
Schwarzenegger said pri-
vate donations came from all 50
states, 10 foreign countries, The --Graduate-- --Graduate--

OTTUMWA, Iowa — President Barack
Obama on Tuesday warned of harassment
against Hispanics under Arizona’s tough new
immigration law, saying such “poorly con-
ceived” measures can be halted if the federal
government fixes the nation’s broken immigra-
tion system for good.
Obama pledged to bring his own party
along, pleading with Republicans to join in
as the only realistic hope to solve a politically
volatile problem.
On a day dominated by his economic mes-
sage, Obama offered a fresh, stern criticism
of a new Arizona law that allows police to
question anyone about their immigration status
if they have reason to suspect they are in the
country illegally. He said it targets people who
look they like might be illegal immigrants.
“Now suddenly if you don’t have your
papers, and you took your kid out to get ice
cream, you’re going to get harassed — that’s
something that could potentially happen,”
Obama said of the Arizona measure. “That’s
not the right way to go.”
Obama’s comments came on the same
day that Attorney General Eric Holder and
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano
were critical of Arizona’s new law, and Holder
said the federal government may challenge it.
The president sought to step up Washington’s
will to get an immigration deal done.
“I will bring the majority of Democrats to
the table in getting this done,” Obama said in
response to a question at a town hall in south-
central Iowa. “But I’ve got to have some help
from the other side.”
Obama said he hoped to get a deal done
“sometime soon” — a politically vague time-
table in an election year with a shrinking win-
dow for legislative action.
Starting a two-day, three-state Midwestern
trip, Obama’s broader message was about
economic revival. Back in Iowa, the state that
jump-started his White House bid, Obama
sought to reassure wary Iowa voters with
a message he hopes will resonate in the
fall elections: The economic recovery hasn’t
reached everyone, but progress is being made.
He’s not on the ballot this year, but his party’s
control of Congress is at stake, along with
dozens of governors’ seats and state legisla-
tures.
On immigration, Obama said he wants
a federal law that would secure the borders
and require illegal immigrants to register, pay
a fine, learn English, take responsibility for
having broken the law and get in the back of
the line before others who are seeking U.S.
citizenship.
He said if all of those challenges are han-
dled in one comprehensive measure, then “we
can once again be a nation of laws and a nation
of immigrants.”
He said Arizona’s law is poorly conceived,
but it is equally unfair for the state to have
to deal with hundreds of thousands of illegal
immigrants.
The president sought to surround himself
with rural Americans in his latest getaway
from the White House confines. He focused on
his economic and clean energy programs as job
creators, even as he acknowledged the pain and
skepticism of hard-hit areas.
Despite encouraging news about an expand-
ing economy and markets, the president told an
Iowa crowd, “times are still tough in towns like
Fort Madison. And times are still tough for
middle-class Americans, who had been swim-
ming against the current for years before the
economic tidal wave hit.”
Obama outlined his administration’s goals to
“create conditions so that folks who work hard
can finally get ahead.” They include improv-
ing schools, making college more affordable,
expanding health coverage and preventing
Wall Street irresponsibility, he said.
Underscoring the challenge was agricul-
ture secretary and former Iowa Gov. Tom
Vilsack, who told reporters traveling with
Obama: “There’s a silent crisis occurring in
rural America that’s been ongoing for several
decades.” He said the president is delivering
a new framework for the “revival of the rural
economy.”
Obama also plans to stop in Illinois and
Missouri before returning to the White House
late today.

Malcolm X assassin out on parole
NEW YORK (AP) — The only man ever to admit involvement
in the assassination of Malcolm X was freed on parole Tuesday,
45 years after he helped gun down the civil rights leader.
Thomas Hagan was the last man still serving time in the 1965
killing, part of the skein of violence that wound through the cul-
tural and political upheaval of the 1960s. He was freed from a
Manhattan prison where he spent two days a week under a work-
release program.
Hagan, 69, has repeatedly expressed sorrow for being one of
the gunmen who fired on Malcolm X, killing one of the civil rights
era’s most polarizing and compelling figures. One of the groups
dedicated to Malcolm X’s memory condemned Hagan’s parole.
Hagan declined to comment after his release.
“I really haven’t had any time to gather my thoughts on any-
thing,” he told The Associated Press by telephone.
Hagan acknowledged that he was one of three men who shot
Malcolm X in front of a crowd of hundreds — including several
of his young children — as the civil rights leader began a speech at
Harlem’s Audubon Ballroom on Feb. 21, 1965. Two other accom-
plices created a distraction in the audience, Hagan has said.
But he said the two men convicted with him were not involved.
They, too, maintained their innocence and were paroled in the
1980s. No one else has ever been charged, a fact that has perpetu-
ated debate and theories surrounding the slaying.
The assassins gunned down Malcolm X out of anger at his
split with the leadership of the Nation of Islam, the black Muslim
movement for which he had once served as a prominent spokes-
man, said Hagan, then known as Talmadge X Hayer. Malcolm X
had spoken out against its leader, Elijah Muhammad, in comments
that some of Muhammad’s followers denounced as slander.
Malcolm X rose to fame as an uncompromising voice for black
empowerment who urged African-Americans to claim civil rights
“by any means necessary” and called white people “blue-eyed
devils.” But after breaking with the Nation of Islam in 1964 and
making an Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca, he began renouncing
racial separatism.
After he was killed at 39, a New York Times editorial called
him a “twisted man;” Time magazine described him as a dema-
gogue whose “gospel was hatred.” But his stature grew after his
death with sales of “The Autobiography of Malcolm X,” written
with Alex Haley, and later with Spike Lee’s 1992 film “Malcolm
X,” said Manning Marable, the director of Columbia University’s
Center for Contemporary Black History and the author of a forth-
coming biography of Malcolm X.
By 1999, Malcolm X was on a postage stamp.
Hagan was initially scheduled for release Wednesday, but the
date was moved up because his paperwork was completed, state
Department of Correctional Services spokeswoman Linda Foglia
said.
Hagan was on work release for nearly 22 years. He spent five
days a week working in settings that included a homeless shel-
ter; he spent those nights at his Brooklyn home with his family.
He told the parole board he hopes to become a substance abuse
counselor.
Man cites explosives, jet diverted
BANGOR, Maine (AP) — The former Air Force member
who was detained Tuesday on a trans-Atlantic flight after alleg-
edly claiming he had explosives in his luggage and a fake pass-
port lives a “squeaky clean” life and has never been in trouble
before, his father told The Associated Press.
Richard Stansberry said government officials told him the
man who was detained after the Paris-to-Atlanta flight was
diverted to Maine is his son, 26-year-old Derek Stansberry of
Riverview, Fla.
The father said government officials questioned him, but he
was as perplexed as they were.
“My son’s profession in the military required he live a
squeaky clean life,” Richard Stansberry said.
The father said his son served four years in the Air Force
before leaving last year for a job in the private sector. He
wouldn’t identify his son’s employer, but said the firm does
work for the Air Force.
There were 235 passengers and 13 crew aboard Delta Air
Lines Flight 273. The flight landed safely just after 3:30 p.m. at
Bangor International Airport.
According to U.S. officials who spoke to the AP on condition
of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, the man
claimed to have explosives in his luggage and a fake passport.
They said his passport was authentic. The officials would not
say what rank he held or the type of discharge he received.
Federal officials met the aircraft at the airport. The
Transportation Security Administration said the passenger was
being interviewed by law enforcement.
After the man was apprehended, flight attendants collected
passengers’ pillows and blankets, piling the cushions in the back
of the plane, according to Charde Houston, an all-star forward
for the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx who was on the flight.
“It was definitely surreal, something you only hear about,”
Houston told the AP in a telephone interview.
It was not immediately clear what the significance was of the
pillows being taken from passengers.
After the failed attack aboard a Detroit-bound flight on
Christmas Day, for a period of time there were extra pat-downs
before boarding flights, no getting up for the last hour of the
flight and some passengers reported being told they couldn’t
have items in their laps, including laptops and pillows.
Houston, 24, said that when Tuesday’s flight landed, FBI
agents boarded and helped remove the suspect, who was wear-
ing handcuffs.
“He looked extremely calm, like a blank face. No emotion,”
Houston said of the man who was removed.
Richard Stansberry, of Apollo Beach, Fla., said he has not yet
been able to speak to his son.
“Unfortunately, I don’t think they’d let him call me,” the
elder Stansberry said. “In a situation like this, the government is
doing what it is supposed to do.”
NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command,
did not launch any military fighters in response to the flight,
spokesman John Cornelio said. “By the time we were brought
into the equation,” the passenger was already under the control
of air marshals, Cornelio said from Colorado.
Judge challenges defense to prove militia isn’t dangerous
DETROIT (AP) — An FBI agent who led the investiga-
tion of nine Michigan militia members charged with trying to
launch war against the U.S. couldn’t recall many details of the
two-year probe Tuesday during a grilling by defense lawyers.
Even the judge who must decide whether to release the nine
until trial was puzzled.
“I share the frustrations of the defense team ... that she
doesn’t know anything,” U.S. District Judge Victoria Roberts
said after agent Leslie Larsen confessed she hadn’t reviewed
her notes recently and couldn’t remember specific details of
the case.
Roberts is hearing an appeal of another judge’s order that
has kept members of Hutaree in jail since their arrest in late
March.
The indictment says the nine planned to kill police officers
as a steppingstone to a widespread uprising against the gov-
ernment. Defense lawyers, however, say their clients are being
punished for being outspoken.
Prosecutors fought to keep Larsen off the witness stand,
saying the defendants had no legal right to question her. But
the judge said the agent’s appearance was appropriate because
the burden is on defense lawyers to show their clients won’t
be a threat to the public if released.
The nine lawyers asked specific questions about each
defendant. Larsen said she had not listened entirely to certain
recordings made by an undercover agent who infiltrated the
group.
She said she didn’t know if weapons seized by investiga-
tors last month were illegal because they were still being

Gulf businesses wait as oil creeps
BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — This time, it’s not a hurricane that
threatens to wreck their livelihoods — it’s a blob of black ooze
slowly making its way toward the Gulf Coast.
Hotel owners, fishermen and restaurateurs are keeping anx-
ious watch as an oil slick spreads from a wrecked drilling rig
site like a giant filthy ink blot. Forecasters say it could wash
ashore within days near delicate wetlands, oyster beds and
pristine white beaches.
Crews have not been able to stop thousands of barrels of
oil from spewing out of the sea floor since an April 20 explo-
sion destroyed the Deepwater Horizon, which was drilling 50
miles off the Louisiana coast. Eleven workers are missing and
presumed dead, and the cause of the explosion has not been
determined.
Louis Skrmetta, 54, runs a company called Ship Island
Excursions that takes tourists to the Gulf Islands National
Seashore, where white-sand beaches and green water create an
idyllic landscape.
“This is the worst possible thing that could happen to the
Mississippi Gulf Coast,” he said. “It will wipe out the oyster
industry. Shrimping wouldn’t recover for years. It would kill
family tourism. That’s our livelihood.”
As crews struggled to contain the oil slick, Coast Guard
officials said Tuesday they were considering setting fire to
the contaminated water to burn off the crude. Pools of oil far
offshore would be trapped in special containment booms and
set aflame as soon as today.
“If we don’t secure this well, this could be one of the most
significant oil spills in U.S. history,” Coast Guard Rear Adm.
Mary Landry said.
A similar burn off the coast of Newfoundland in 1993
eliminated 50 to 99 percent of captured oil. However, burning
the oil also creates air pollution, and the effect on marine life
is unclear.
Ed Overton, a professor emeritus of environmental sciences
at Louisiana State University who’s studying the oil spill,
questioned whether burning would work.
“It can be effective in calm water, not much wind, in a
protected area,” he said. “When you’re out in the middle of the
ocean, with wave actions, and currents, pushing you around,
it’s not easy.”
examined. At other times, Larsen couldn’t answer questions
because she said she hadn’t reviewed investigative reports.
Defense lawyer William Swor asked if the No. 1 defendant,
Hutaree leader David Stone, had ever instructed anyone to
make a bomb. The agent replied: “I can’t fully answer that
question.”
Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Tukel defended Larsen,
telling the judge it wasn’t clear until Monday that she would
testify. Roberts, however, said she told the government to be
prepared last week.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Ronald Waterstreet played an
audiotape of what he said were several militia members talk-
ing freely about killing police. The participants talked over
each other, often laughed and made goofy noises and dispar-
aging remarks about law enforcement.
Defense lawyer James Thomas said some exchanges
sounded “like a 6-year-old watching a cartoon.” Larsen dis-
agreed.
“They’re talking about killing police officers. I don’t think
you can joke about that,” the agent replied.
Prosecutors objected to questions about interpreting the
secretly recorded conversations, but the judge said they were
fair game.
“A lot of this case is going to be about the spoken word,”
Roberts said.
The judge will resume the court hearing today. Prosecutors
will have a chance to question people who are willing to be
responsible for some of the nine if they are released from
jail.
Facebook’s plan sparks backlash
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Facebook’s plan to spread its
online social network to other websites could be detoured by regula-
tors looking into privacy concerns that have raised the ire of federal
lawmakers.
Four senators said Tuesday that Facebook needs to make it
easier for its 400 million users to protect their privacy as the site
opens more avenues for them to share their interests and other
personal information.
The Federal Trade Commission already had been examining the
privacy and data collection practices of Facebook and other social
networks, the agency confirmed Tuesday.
Then last week, Facebook announced a proposed expansion that
irked Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., and, he says, many Web surf-
ers who called his office to complain.
Having built one of the Web’s most popular hangouts, Facebook
is trying to extend its reach through new tools called “social plug-
ins.” These enable Facebook’s users to share their interests in
such products as clothes, movies and music on other websites. For
instance, you might hit a button on Levis.com indicating you like a
certain style of jeans, and then recommend a movie on another site.
That information about the jeans and the movie might be passed
along to other people in your Facebook network, depending on your
privacy settings.
Facebook says all this will help personalize the Web for people.
It stresses that no personal information is being given to the dozens
of websites using the new plug-ins.
Still, it means that information that hadn’t been previously
communicated could get broadcast to your friends and family on
Facebook.
And Facebook is indeed sharing some personal information with
three websites that Facebook hopes will demonstrate how online
services can be more helpful when they know more about their
users. The sites with greater access to Facebook’s data are business
review service Yelp, music service Pandora and Microsoft Corp.’s
Docs.com for word processing and spreadsheets.
Facebook users who don’t want to be part of the company’s
expansion have to go through their privacy settings and change
their preferences.
Schumer thinks the onus instead should be on Facebook to get
users’ explicit consent, a process known as “opting in.”
“They have sort of assumed all their users want their information
to be given far and wide, which is a false assumption,” Schumer
said in an interview.
Schumer sent a letter calling for simpler privacy controls to
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. The concerns were echoed by
Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo; Sen. Mark Begich, D-Alaska; and
Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn.
