leading to his arrest a week
ago. Rathburn, 49, was
arrested after deputies
spotted him riding in a
pickup

on
McCumber Road May 26.
Rathburn had been at
large and wanted since he
fled through a secondfloor window during the
late February raid of a
house on Lower Ohio 7,
where investigators discovered meth and materi-

als used in its manufacture. He was one of five
charged in that case and
was indicted for illegal
manufacture of metamphetamine and a related
charge of permitting drug
abuse.
A 13 year-old girl was
removed from that residence during the investigation.

Gold Wings and Ribs
Festival to take place
Friday and Saturday as the
opener for a summer of
entertainment in downtown Pomeroy.
Hundreds of motorcycles are expected to begin
rolling into town early
Friday and stay for the
weekend of events which
will be highlighted by fine
entertainment, a variety of
activities for both the
young and old, plenty of
good food, and the always
popular motorcycle light
parades at 9 p.m. on both
nights.
Again this year the
championships for Ohio’s
Best Ribs and Ohio’s Best
Wings will be selected and
announced at the featival.
There is always plenty of
competition for the state
titles which means “good

many of whom come early
and stay late. The winners
will be announced and the
plaques awarded at about 4
p.m. on Saturday.
Food vendors will open

so did very warm temperatures and complaints to
the Meigs County Dog
Warden about animal
neglect.
One complaint received
yesterday is a common one a dog being left inside a
vehicle on a hot day. Tom
Proffitt, dog warden, said
the complaint was made
by a resident who spotted

the alleged violation in
the parking lot of Holzer
Meigs Clinic but by the
time he arrived, the vehicle was gone.
Proffitt said this type of
behavior
obviously
becomes a major issue
this time of year in terms
of animal neglect. Proffitt
said when it’s only 80
degrees outside, a car can
quickly heat up to more
than 120 degrees - temperatures which can
quickly be fatal to a
canine.
In severe cases of this

type of neglect, residents
can be charged a $100
fine and face animal cruelty charges. Proffitt said
typically, he gives first
offenders a warning about
the dangers of leaving a
dog in a warm vehicle.
In short, never leave a
dog unattended in direct
sunlight or in a closed
vehicle. According to the
American Kennel Club,
heatstroke can occur and
lead to brain damage or
death. Signs of heatstroke
are panting, drooling,
rapid pulse and fever. If

this happens, immediately
immerse the dog in cool
water and seek emergency
veterinary
assistance,
according to the AKC.
Another common complaint Proffitt hears is not
enough water left for outdoor pets. Proffitt said in
warm temperatures, dogs
need to have access to
water at all times and
watering some dogs once
a day just doesn’t cut it.
Again, severe cases of
neglect in these cases will
result in fines and a court
date.

Welcoming veterans home
TOLEDO (AP) — A Toledo company is offering a gift to local military families - a free, personalized
“Welcome Home” banner for veterans returning from deployments.
The signs are being created and donated by FASTSIGNS, located at McCord and Dorr Street in Toledo. The
banners are made of 13-ounce vinyl, are weather resistant and measure approximately 36 inches high and 59
inches wide. In addition to the flag background, “Welcome Home” is printed on the banner, along with the veteran’s name and rank.
Terry Engel of Napoleon ordered a banner for her son, John, who will be deployed soon.
“I wanted it for when he comes home,” she said. “These signs are very beautiful.”
Engel is the administrative assistant, co-disaster chairperson and service to armed forces chairperson for the
Henry County Chapter of the American Red Cross. She learned of the banners through an e-mail from the
Toledo Chapter of the Red Cross and Air National Guard.
Engel added she thinks the company is giving a wonderful gift to military families.
“They said ... it’s their way of saying thank you,” Engel said. “I think it’s awesome a company would do
this.”
The signs are free, but they must be picked up at the store in Toledo as no shipping or delivery is offered.
For more information or to receive an order form, contact the Red Cross at 419-592-4806 or stop at the
office, which is located at 117 W. Washington St. in Napoleon. The office is open 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday
through Friday.

Loss of estate tax may hurt city
SANDUSKY (AP) — Sandusky is facing the loss of a revenue source that often produces hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.
The Ohio General Assembly is considering abolishing the estate tax, which provides funding to local cities and
townships across the state.
The proposal is in the state budget bill, which is supposed to be completed by July 1.
The estate tax is an uncertain source of income for cities and townships -- it all depends on who dies and how
much money they have.
Sandusky, for instance, predicted it would receive $150,000 from estate taxes in its last budget, but it actually
received $450,000.
At Monday's Sandusky city commission meeting, commissioners said state lawmakers are taking away a source
of revenue and offering nothing in return.
Commissioners said when they meet June 13, they'll discuss sending a letter opposing the plan to abolish the tax.

Bacteria prompts
advisories at Ohio park
beaches
WAYNESVILLE (AP) — Water will be tested at
two neighboring state parks in southwest Ohio to see
if there are still the troublesome levels of bacteria
that led to beach advisories over the Memorial Day
weekend.
Signs were posted at Caesar Creek State Park and
Cowan Lake State Park about E. coli bacteria in the
water that exceeded state standards. Regional park
manager Tim Carr tells WCPO-TV of Cincinnati
that the bacteria can cause headaches, diarrhea,
vomiting and dizziness.
He says the park beaches were submerged in
recent flooding that left the water contaminated with
runoff from farms.
Officials planned to check the water again
Tuesday, with results expected Wednesday. Carr
says the advisories will remain in place until a test
comes back normal.

Obama gains foothold; GOP autumn surge behind him
WASHINGTON (AP)
— Six months after
Republicans
alarmed
Democrats with a midterm
election wave, President
Barack Obama has shaken
off the jitters and found his
political footing despite
sluggish economic growth
and deep public anxiety
about the direction of the
country.
The White House now
displays an air of confidence, bolstered in part by
achievements such as the
killing of Osama bin
Laden by U.S. commandos and the financial success of an auto industry
that Obama bailed out over
the objections of many.
Obama is also benefiting from the absence of
negatives. The economy,
while lethargic, is growing.
The private sector is creating jobs. Natural disasters,
while deadly and plentiful,
have not developed into
governmental
crises.
Skyrocketing gas prices,
which fed the public's economic fears, are now subsiding. And the GOP's signature budget plan, ambitious in its spending reductions, has lost its luster
with the public.
"It is likely he will be reelected, in my opinion,"
veteran Republican poll-

ster Wes Anderson says.
What's more, the president appears to be enjoying the still lingering but
more intangible effects of
his election in 2008, a
watershed for the nation.
Polls show Obama with
strong favorability and likability ratings even as he
faces ambivalence over his
handling of the presidency.
Former New Hampshire
Republican Party chairman Fergus Cullen said the
symbolic
power
of
Obama's election as the
first black president carries
enormous good will that
will be difficult for
Republicans to overcome.
"Centrist voters and the
ones who decide elections
are still fundamentally
rooting for the guy,"
Cullen said. "People who
don't view politics in ideological terms give him the
benefit of the doubt, and
that is an incredible political asset to have."
Obama's inner circle,
always wary of sounding
too self-assured, is not hiding its optimism.
"I would rather be us
than them," said one of the
president's top political
advisers, David Axelrod.
Pollster Andrew Kohut
of the nonpartisan Pew
Research Center compared

Obama's place in 2011 to
President Ronald Reagan's
at a similar point during his
first term, more than a year
before he won re-election
in 1984.
"They both came from
an ideological wing of the
party and they are perceived that way. Both were
hit with real bad
economies and the public
turned on them," Kohut
said. "Right now, Obama's
ahead of where Reagan
was in '83."
Still, this view of the
president is a snapshot in
time. Events can test presidents and sour the public
mood quickly. Axelrod is
quick to note that it would
have been hard to predict
the turmoil that erupted
this spring in the Middle
East and in North Africa
or the Greek fiscal crisis
last year that caused the
stock market to plummet,
and led employers to
retrench.
"The things that worry
me are the things I don't
know," he said.
Further instability in
the Arab world and
increased tensions with
Pakistan could create the
image that Obama doesn't
have control over his foreign policy. Consumer
confidence has fluctuated

and remains far below the
levels that indicate a
healthy economy. The
Conference
Board
announced Tuesday that
its Consumer Confidence
Index, which had risen in
April, fell in May amid
worries over inflation, job
prospects and personal
income growth.
Though the private sector has been creating jobs,
public hiring by local and
state governments is weak
and
unemployment
remains high at 9 percent,
a dangerous level for a
president seeking re-election. Since the Great
Depression,
only
Presidents Reagan and
Gerald Ford confronted
unemployment rates as
high or higher at some
point in their administrations. But the rate has
dropped since November's
9.8 percent high. For
Obama, the trend line
could be as important as
the unemployment rate
itself.
Presidents Jimmy
Carter, Reagan and
George H.W. Bush all
faced unemployment rates
higher than 7.5 percent in
the final months of their
re-election campaigns.
The rates during Carter's
1980 campaign and

Bush's 1992 campaign
had been on the rise. They
lost.
Unemployment
under Reagan, however,
had been declining and he
won re-election in 1984.
Axelrod would like to
see the declining pace set
since November continue
for the next six months.
"The progress has to be
more than incremental,"
he said. "If you go from 9
to 8.9, I don't know that
that qualifies. But I don't
think this is ultimately an
arithmetic exercise as it is
one of trajectory and
momentum."
Anderson, a former
polling director for the
Republican
National
Committee, predicted this
election would be closer
for Obama than in 2008,
when he beat Sen. John
McCain by 53 to 46 percent and won in 28 states.
An economic nose dive,
Anderson said, would present real problems for
Obama.
But he added: "From a
purely political standpoint, I don't think the current state of the economy
is enough to beat him.
Sluggish growth may be
just enough for him."
Obama still needs to
seal the deal with the
coalition of voters who

elected him in 2008. The
liberal Democratic base is
not as energized as the
Republican conservative
base that is arrayed
against him. Independents
and moderates who voted
for him in 2008 either
voted for Republicans in
2010 or stayed home.
Axelrod said many
independents turned to
Republicans last year
because they perceived
that Democrats had used
their partisan edge to muscle through legislation,
particularly the health care
overhaul. Obama has
doggedly tried to change
that perception since, cutting
a
deal
with
Republicans to extend tax
cuts in December and
reaching another agreement to cut spending and
avoid a government shutdown in April.
Axelrod insists that the
Democratic base will
become invigorated once
the Republican alternative
becomes evident.
"Elections aren't referendums," he said. "They
are choices between two
flesh-and-blood candidates with records and
visions and approaches.
And people compare and
contrast
those
and
decide."

Aging, ill war crimes suspects still face trials
LONDON (AP) — It
has become a common
sight: an elderly, shrunken,
hollow-eyed
suspect
brought to trial decades
after being accused of horrific war crimes. They may
be too aged to fully participate in their defense, or
too debilitated by disease
to endure a lengthy court
case.
Now it is former
Bosnian Serb military
commander Ratko Mladic
arguing he is too weak to
stand trial. His lawyer said
Monday that Mladic, 69,
would die before his trial
begins if he is extradited to
the U.N. International
Criminal Tribunal in The
Hague to face genocide

charges. He is said to have
suffered several strokes
and to have difficulty
speaking.
Time and again, the
questions have arisen: Are
you ever too old or too ill
to be judged for your past?
Are justice and the public
interest served by trying
such infirm people? Most
experts say it's justified —
arguing
responsibility
doesn't diminish with age,
especially set against the
enormity of the crimes.
"Old age should not
afford protection to people
who committed very serious crimes — that's not a
defense," said Efraim
Zuroff, who pursues elderly Nazi war criminals with

the Simon Wiesenthal
Center.
"You have to keep in
mind the victims who
deserve that their tormenters are held accountable; the passage of time
does not diminish the
guilt."
Mladic follows John
Demjanjuk, a 91-year-old
retired Ohio autoworker
convicted in Munich this
month on 28,060 counts of
accessory to murder.
Demjanjuk's
lawyers
failed to convince the
court that the former Nazi
death camp guard was too
sick to be tried because of
a bone marrow disorder,
kidney disease, anemia,
and other ailments.

The age and medical
condition of Khmer Rouge
defendants is also a central
issue at Cambodia's
upcoming U.N.-backed
tribunal, set next month to
judge four of the brutal
regime's top officials. The
accused, ranging in age
from 79 to 85, suffer from
a variety of illnesses.
"To let them walk away
because they are old
means they would get
away with it," Brad
Adams, director of the
Asia division of Human
Rights Watch, said about
the Khmer Rouge defendants. "They all appear to
have some maladies but
none of them have such
significant illnesses that

they are not competent to
stand trial"
He said the Cambodian
suspects are accused of
masterminding the slaughter of up to two million
people in their own country and should not be
excused simply because
they are infirm — or
because it took so long for
authorities to track them
down.
"The reason they are so
old is because of the failure of the states to track
them down and charge
them much earlier,"
Adams said. "They were
living in Thailand and
traveling around the
world. It was a collective
failure to deal with them."

Demjanjuk's case was
one of the most extreme.
After experts examined
him, he was found to be fit
to stand trial if hearings
were limited to two 90minute sessions per day.
He was brought to court
in a wheelchair and placed
in a hospital bed, where he
lay listening to a translator
throughout the proceedings, usually wearing dark
sunglasses with a baseball
cap pulled down low over
his face. A doctor and
paramedics remained in
the court room throughout
the trial. Roughly a dozen
sessions were canceled for
health reasons, including
the need for blood transfusions.

Bus company in Va fatal crash cited for violations
BOWLING GREEN,
Va. (AP) — The company
that operates the bus that
overturned on a Virginia
highway, killing four and
injuring several others
early Tuesday, has been
involved in several accidents over the last two
years. It also has been
cited for 46 violations for
drivers being fatigued,
which police believe contributed to this crash.
The Sky Express bus
departed
Greensboro,
N.C., on Monday night
and was headed to
Chinatown in New York
City with 58 people
aboard, including the driver, said state police Sgt.
Thomas Molnar.
The bus had swerved
off Interstate 95, hit an

embankment and flipped
over about 30 miles north
of Richmond. The driver
suffered minor injuries
and is cooperating with
investigators, Molnar said.
Nearby hospitals say they
have treated more than 25
people from the crash,
some of whom were
released.
Driver fatigue is being
cited as part of the reason,
but police were still investigating, Molnar said.
According to Federal
Motor Carrier Safety
Administration records,
Charlotte, N.C.-based Sky
Express Inc. buses have
been involved in four
crashes, with one injury or
fatality during the twoyear period that ended
May 20.

Its drivers have been
cited for 17 unsafe-driving
violations, including eight
speeding violations, since
2009. Three of the 46 violations for fatigued driving were classified as
serious.
Sky Express also was
cited for 120 vehiclemaintenance violations,
including one classified as
serious. The National
Transportation Board was
investigating Tuesday's
crash. The bus had no passenger seat belts, only for
the driver.
David Wong, a manager
in the Sky Express office
in Charlotte, declined to
comment. A telephone

Portman warns of budget crisis
WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Sen. Rob Portman,
R-Ohio, said Thursday the
nation needs to address the
budget issue and the debt
facing the country.
“The debt is now as big
as the economy,” Portman
said. He added he voted
recently for two budget
resolutions he admitted
are not perfect but at least
would keep the discussion
moving forward.
He also accused
Democrats of playing
games when it comes to
the budget.
“The Democrats refuse
to vote for any budget and
because of that we can’t
get anything passed,”
Portman said. “It was a
political charade and we
have no time for this,” he
added, referring to four
votes this week in the
Senate on motions to proceed to different budget
proposals. He also said no
Democrat has proposed a
budget bill that fellow
Democrats would vote for

either. This includes the
budget proposed by
President Barack Obama.
The future of Medicare
seems to be one of the
main sticking points in
any budget discussion.
“The president himself
has said you cannot deal
with the deficit without
dealing with Medicare,”
Portman said.
He added the budget
proposal put forth by Rep.
Paul Ryan, which suggests
privatizing
Medicare,
does not impact anyone
over 55 and does not eliminate Medicare. He said

said. He also said there

months after a horrific

that focused attention on
bus safety. On March 12,
a speeding bus returning

to Chinatown from a
Connecticut casino toppled off an elevated highway and hit a utility pole,
peeling off the roof.
Fifteen passengers were

and
Washington. Fares are
cheap — $10 to $15 for a
ride from Boston to New

York, compared with $70
or more on Amtrak.
The industry is in the
fifth year of a solid boom,
thanks to a new breed of
bus service that eschews
terminals and thrives on
low prices. But a string of
fatal crashes over six
months also has prompted calls for tougher regulation.\
Federal authorities say
nearly 2,800 spot safety
checks of passenger
buses across the country
from March 28 through
April 6 resulted in about
10 percent of the vehicles
or drivers being taken off

Hey, conspiracy theorists, Companies look for power
NASCAR ran a good show way, way up in the sky
BY JENNA FRYER
AP AUTO RACING WRITER

CONCORD, N.C. —
The pressure on NASCAR
to deliver an outstanding
Coca-Cola 600 started to
build before the garage
even opened at Charlotte
Motor Speedway.
Sebastian Vettel kicked
off auto racing’s showcase
day with a topsy-turvy
Formula One victory on
Monaco’s winding street
circuit. Then rookie JR
Hildebrand made a heartbreaking mistake to lose
the Indianapolis 500 in the
final turn of the 100th running of the “Greatest
Spectacle in Racing.”
The closing act of tripleheader was NASCAR,
which was coming off a
ho-hum All-Star race a
week earlier. With 600
long miles looming, series
officials knew they had
two tough acts to follow.
“The pressure is on,”
NASCAR President Mike
Helton acknowledged an
hour before the race.
“Hope tonight is good.”
Oh, it most certainly
was.
NASCAR delivered a
thriller Sunday night that
packed more intrigue than
anyone could have imagined. Because NASCAR
races are typically marked
with long lulls of napinducing racing, the
longest race of the season
seemed destined to be a
snoozer.
Instead, the suspense
started early and carried all
the way to the checkered
flag, which went to Kevin
Harvick when Dale
Earnhardt Jr. ran out of gas
on the last lap. The only
way it could have gone
better for NASCAR would
have been if Earnhardt
actually won and snapped
his 105-race losing streak.
Had NASCAR’s most
popular driver made it to
Victory Lane, critics most
certainly would have cried
that the fix had been in.
Strangely, even after an
Earnhardt defeat, the conspiracy theorists still hovered.
So let’s debunk some of
the misconceptions:

—NASCAR wanted
Earnhardt to win: Well,
yeah, everybody in the
industry wants Earnhardt
to win, including Harvick,
who said he felt “so stinking bad for him” after
denying Earnhardt a win
for the second time this
season.
As Earnhardt goes, so
does the health of the
industry, and NASCAR
understands how critical it
is for him to end his nearly
three-year losing streak.
But that doesn’t mean
Helton &amp; Co. would rely
on deceptive practices to
get him a victory.
If they were willing to
do so, would they really
have waited 105 races to
pull it off?
—NASCAR tried to
give Earnhardt the win
with a no-call: Jimmie
Johnson’s engine failure
set up a final two-lap
sprint to the finish, with
Kasey
Kahne
and
Earnhardt lined up sideby-side for the restart.
Earnhardt got the jump,
and the line behind Kahne
stacked up like an accordion.
Debris from Brad
Keselowski’s car clearly
littered the track, and Jeff
Burton spun through traffic in what most certainly
would have been a caution
on any other lap. But
NASCAR didn’t throw the
yellow flag this time, and
angry fans insisted it was
because officials wanted
Earnhardt to drive away
undisturbed.
Too
bad
recent
NASCAR history shows
that standard operating
procedure has been to not
interrupt the racing on the
final laps unless there is a
safety hazard. Once
Burton’s car made it out of
harm’s way, it was in
NASCAR’s best interest to
let the race play out.
—They still could have
given him the win: One
way to almost guarantee
an Earnhardt victory at
that point would be to
throw the caution after
Earnhardt had taken the
white flag. Since the
inception of the greenwhite-checkered
rule,

NASCAR has allowed
three attempts to finish the
race with the caveat being
the race is over once the
leader takes the white flag.
So once Earnhardt
began the last lap, officials
could have easily frozen
the field and let him coast
the final 1½ miles to the
checkered flag.
But all of this gives
NASCAR far too much
credit in knowing all the
particulars of real-time situations.
Nobody,
Earnhardt and crew chief
Steve Letarte included,
knew for certain when
Earnhardt would run out
of gas.
The right play, and the
consistent play, was for
NASCAR to let it unfold
naturally.
—But, but, NASCAR
calls cautions for far less:
That’s true, and the combination of a quick trigger
and a reputation for phantom debris cautions during
boring stretches works
against NASCAR here. It
doesn’t help, either, that
Harvick himself questioned a debris call earlier
in the race when he grumbled over his radio he didn’t see anything on the
track and that NASCAR
makes those calls to benefit the chosen ones.
What helps, though, is
that Harvick had a much
softer tone after the race
when
he
defended
NASCAR and the difficulty officials have in maintaining policy and procedure. Embroiled in a feud
with Kyle Busch that has
both Busch and Harvick
on probation through June
15, Harvick had long discussions with NASCAR
that helped him understand their position.
“The one thing I have
learned over the last two or
three weeks is there has to
be a judge,” Harvick said.
“There has to be somebody making those decisions, and there has to be
somebody who’s going to
say, ‘Yep, there’s debris on
the track. I see it and there
it is.’ There has to be
somebody making the
calls, and I’m glad I don’t
have to make them.”

BY JAY LINDSAY
ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOSTON — The
world’s strongest winds
race high in the sky, but
that doesn’t mean they’re
out of reach as a potentially potent energy source.
Flying, swooping and
floating turbines are being
developed to turn highaltitude winds into electricity.
The challenges are
huge, but the potential is
immense. Scientists estimate the energy in the jet
streams is 100 times the
amount of power used
worldwide annually.
Cristina Archer, an
atmospheric scientist at
the California State
University in Chico, said
there’s “not a doubt anymore” that high-altitude
winds will be tapped for
power.
“This can be done, it can
work,” she said.
The question is, when?
Some companies project
their technology will hit
the market by the middle
of the decade, but Fort
Felker at the National
Renewable
Energy
Laboratory says the industry is 10 years away from
making a meaningful contribution to the nation’s
electricity demands.
No
company,
for
instance, has met the basic
requirement of demonstrating its turbine can
safely fly unsupervised for
prolonged periods of time.
High-altitude
wind
power is similar to
ground wind in the 1970s
— facing questions but
soon to prove its viability,
said PJ Shepard of
Oroville, Calif.-based
Sky WindPower, which is
developing a “flying electric generator.”
“It’s kind of like the
adjustment folks had to
make when the Wright
brothers started flying airplanes,” she said.
The lure of high-altitude
wind is simple: Wind
speed generally increases
with its height above the
ground as surface friction
diminishes. Each time
wind speed doubles, the

Congress shall make no law
respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free

or the right of the people

petition the Government for a
redress of grievances.
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

amount of energy it theoretically holds multiplies
by eight times.
The world’s most powerful winds circulate in the
jet streams, which are
found four to 10 miles off
the ground and carry
winds that regularly break
100 miles per hour.
The dream is to eventually tap the jet streams, but
high-altitude wind companies are focusing for now
below a 2,000-foot ceiling,
above which complex federal air-space restrictions
kick in. Adam Rein, cofounder of the Boston
company
Altaeros
Energies, said his company calculates winds at the
2,000 foot level are up to
2½ times stronger than
winds that can be reached
by a typical 350-foot land
turbine.
High-altitude
wind
advocates say their smaller, lightweight turbines
will be far cheaper to build
and deploy than windmills
with huge blades and towers that must be drilled
into land or the sea floor.
Those savings would
mean inexpensive energy.
With wide-scale use,
advocates see a range of
prices, from something
comparable to land wind’s
current 9 or 10 cents per
kilowatt hour down to an
astonishingly low 2 cents
per kilowatt hour.
“They are projecting
crazy numbers,” Archer
said. “I’m not saying that
it’s true. ... But it’s really
the lowest, the cheapest
energy source, possibly.”
As the turbines eventually aim higher, advocates
say there are plenty of
remote and offshore no-fly
areas where they won’t
interfere with aircraft and
have minimal interaction
with people.
Still, any nearby residents must be convinced
there’s no danger from
falling turbines while
accepting a view that
includes flying objects
attached to long tethers
that carry the energy to the
ground. High-altitude turbines also won’t escape
the various environmental
concerns that face conven-

tional turbines, such as
their effect on bird flight.
And each turbine concept awaits extensive testing on its reliability, durability and effectiveness,
said Felker, director of
NREL’s National Wind
Technology Center.
Keeping the turbines
operating autonomously
over long periods in
changing weather may be
the biggest obstacle,
Felker said.
“You have powerful reasons to stay aloft as much
as possible,” he said.
“What do you do when a
thunderstorm comes by?
Do you recover (the
device)? Do you land? ...
How do you operate in the
real world?”
Different companies
have proposed answering
that question in different
ways.
A “kite” being developed by Makani Power of
Alameda, Calif., looks like
a glider with four highspeed rotors that launch it
into flight, then switch
modes to generate electricity that’s carried down the
tether.
An onboard computer
steers the kite in a wide
circle, mimicking the path
of the tip of a giant wind
turbine blade. That allows
the device to interact with
a larger wind area, increasing the amount of energy it
can capture in the same
way increasing the size of
a sail increases the potential speed of a sailboat,
said Damon Vander Lind,
Makani’s chief engineer.
The kite can also stay up
in high winds, and power
itself to land in low winds,
Vanderlind said.
“It lets us make a very
reliable system, something
operators can just plug in
and use,” he said.
Sky WindPower’s generator has four rotors, each
35 feet in diameter, that
transmit power down the
tether. It’s built to hover,
rather than swoop or circle, Shepard said. While
moving turbines can actually fly faster than the
wind by flying crosswind,
they can’t fly as high, she
said.

William, Kate TV movie Festival
being shot in Romania From Page A1
BUCHAREST, Romania

(AP) — Barely a month
after their fairy-tale wedding, a new film depicting
the budding romance of
Prince William and Kate
Middleton is being rushed
out for television viewers.
A mixture of fact and
fiction, "William &amp; Kate:
A Royal Love Story" is
expected to be released in
August on the Hallmark
Channel.
Director Linda Yellen
took some time out from
filming at MediaPro
Studios in Romania to
speak
with
The
Associated Press. The
American was also producer of CBS's "The
Royal
Romance
of
Charles and Diana" in
1982, a film that had a
huge audience at the
time.
"William &amp; Kate" is
more than a romance —
it's also "a psychological
story of the memory of
the mother, in this case
Princess Diana, and her
legacy," Yellen said. The
film shows how William
"has to choose to live his
life with her memory and
with the decisions he has
to make," including the
decision of whom to
marry.
The couple was married April 29 in a lavish
ceremony at Westminster
Abbey watched by millions. Filming began in
early May and AP
Television cameras were
given exclusive access to
the set.
Yellen,
who
met
Princess Diana three
times, called the movie "a
very personal story. In a
way, it's my tribute to her
as well as a tribute to the
young couple."
Yellen, whose father
died on the first day of
shooting the film, said her
loss made her better
understand some of the
scenes where William
communicates with his
mother in a spiritual way.
She wrote the script in
two weeks, after she saw
William had given Diana's
ring to Middleton.
"The whole story came
to me in that moment,"
she said.
While using real events
and words that were told
in real life, there are also

dialogues she's written
and situations she imagined. One such scene
depicts William's 21st
birthday party, with Kate
and William dancing
together
as
Queen
Elizabeth II looks on.
Guests are dressed in
vividly colored African
costumes with tables laid
for a feast in a large hall
with ornate arcades. There
are statues of elephants
and potted palm trees in
the background as Kate
and William are having
fun — and falling in love.
British actress Alice St.
Clair,
who
plays
Middleton, said the film
— her first — is a series of
snapshots of the relationship between the couple
and tracks their developing friendship. She said it
shows how William is
attracted to Kate, with
whom he shares a sense of
humor, because she challenges him and is very
competitive.
St. Clair, who has short
hair but wears extensions
for the movie, acknowledges she was not "a carbon-copy of Kate." ''We
were not trying to mimic
her but ... to show the
essence of her and bring
my own self into it," the
actress, wearing a blue
gown and fascinator,
said during a break from
filming.
American actor Dan
Amboyer, who plays
William, called the film
"a modern fairy tale."
Amboyer, who made his
debut in the "Law &amp;
Order" series, said the
"script is smart, is fun,
there is real wit between
them. It's not at all
schmaltzy."
In the film, the two
meet by chance when
William bumps into
Kate who was carrying
laundry. Amboyer said
his character learns
from her about ordinary
things such as cooking a
meal or doing the laundry. There are friends,
parties, the breakup, the
makeup and of course
the British royal family.
Oscar-nominated Jane
Alexander is Queen
Elizabeth II, a grandmother
pondering
whether Kate is right for
Will and for the throne.

9 days after tornado, rebuilding begins in Joplin
JOPLIN, Mo. (AP) —
Home Depot employees
in orange vests were busy
helping
customers
Tuesday in the parking lot
of the Joplin store flattened just nine days ago
by a tornado.
There wasn't a lot to
choose from just yet, but
the store's reopening and
quick sales of roofing
material, lumber and
other necessities showed
city residents' determination to begin rebuilding
quickly after the May 22
tornado that cut a 6-mile
swath through the heart of
this community of nearly
50,000 residents. Home
Depot itself already has a
30,000-square-foot temporary building framed
and expected to open
within a couple of weeks.
Until then, it's selling a
smaller selection of
urgently needed products
from an outdoor area in
the parking lot.
"We're trying to let
people know we're not
just a retail store to take
their money. We're here,"
store manager Steve Cope
said.
It will be a long time
before Joplin completely
rebuilds from the tornado
packing winds of up to
200 mph. An estimated
8,000 homes and apartments were damaged or
destroyed, along with
hundreds of commercial
buildings, schools, the
largest hospital, power
transformers and other
infrastructure.
But the work has
already begun. Electrical
crews have hoisted up
new power poles in many
places. Small businesses
are operating out of tents
or have moved to undam-

aged areas of town. A
pharmacy's sign read,
"We are open. Pray for
Joplin," and offered free
water, coffee and diabetic
meters.
Workers are busily
repairing roofs and
rebuilding walls in industrial areas. A beauty shop
leveled by the storm has a
new building well under
way, with framing and
walls
complete,
an
American flag hanging
from a 2-by-4 out the
front window.
Some residents are
anxious to get their homes
back, including Scott
Vorhees. The 35-year-old
divorced lawyer and his
two daughters weren't
home when their twostory brick house on a 3acre lot was destroyed.
He's already had a contractor out and hopes to
begin building a new
home — "bigger and better," he said — within
months.
"I just think it's important for people here to see
people
rebuilding,"
Vorhees said. "Get some
momentum going. I want
people in Joplin to see
progress."
Despite the scattered
signs of progress, the
rebuilding can't begin in
earnest until the millions
of tons of debris is hauled
away. City Administrator
Mark Rohrs said the
removal of rubble is
expected to begin later
this week. He would not
say where it will be taken
or how long the process
will last.
The removal will start
after a final sweep of the
city by search and rescue
crews, who still hope to
find more survivors. Once

debris removal begins,
spotters will work alongside crews, checking the
wreckage one last time.
The debris could contain an environmental
mess, with lead, asbestos,
dioxins, medical waste
and other potential hazards.
"It's going to be a
massive undertaking,"
Environmental Protection
Agency spokesman Chris
Whitley said. "There are
estimates that there will
be more waste that will
come from this that will
need to be pulled away
than there was at the
World Trade Center site
after 9-11."
While the World
Trade Center buildings
were bigger, the damage
in Joplin covers a much
wider area.
Gov. Jay Nixon said
the federal government
has agreed to pay a
greater-than-usual share
of the cleanup costs
from the tornado. It will
cover 90 percent of the
debris removal, the same
portion it's paying in
Alabama, where deadly
tornadoes struck in
April. The federal government typically covers
75 percent of the cost of
disaster response, with
state and local govern-

ments picking up the
rest.
Missouri and city officials have backed off
releasing a death count
from
the
tornado.
Missouri Department of
Public Safety deputy
director Andrea Spillars
said 146 sets of remains
were taken a temporary
morgue, but because of
the violence of the
storm, some of the
remains could be from
the
same
people.
Investigators are using
DNA tests and other scientific means to identify
victims. The state has
said 113 people have
been identified as dead
with next-of-kin notified.
Twenty-nine
remain missing.
The temporary Home
Depot will be a massive
tent-like structure, but it
will be climate-controlled and have most of
the items stocked by a
typical store. Cope said
the company will move
quickly to rebuild a permanent store on the site
where the old one was
destroyed — perhaps by
the end of the year.
"The quicker we can
get back up to assist the
people of Joplin, the better for everyone," Cope
said.

Terrelle Pryor’s cars now focal point of NCAA probe
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — A day after
coach Jim Tressel’s
forced resignation for
lying about Ohio State
players
receiving
improper benefits, the
focus has shifted to the
investigation of star
quarterback
Terrelle
Pryor and his succession
of used cars.
The salesman who put
Pryor behind the wheel
of several expensive
vehicles said in a sworn
affidavit released by
Ohio State on Tuesday
that he didn’t offer any
special
deals
to
Buckeyes.
“The deals that I did
for Ohio State studentathletes were no different
than any of the other
10,000-plus deals that
I’ve done for all my other
customers,”
Aaron
Kniffin said in the statement.
Tressel’s 10-year reign
as coach of the Buckeyes
ended
in
disgrace
Monday as he was forced
to step down for breaking
NCAA rules. He knew
players received cash and
tattoos for autographs,
championship rings and
equipment and did not
tell anyone at Ohio State
or the NCAA what he
knew for more than nine
months. NCAA rules —
and Tressel’s contract —
specify that he must disclose any and all information about possible
violations.
Pryor, the highest profile recruit of Tressel’s

25-year coaching career,
is one of five Buckeyes
who have already been
suspended for the first
five games of the 2011
season for taking money
and tattoos from local tattoo-parlor owner Edward
Rife, who pleaded guilty
last week to federal drug
trafficking and moneylaundering charges.
Ohio State confirmed
that the NCAA continues
to look into potential violations, including Pryor’s
cars.
“I can tell you that
obviously you have an
open
investigation,”
Ohio State spokesman
Jim Lynch said Tuesday.
“The university and the
NCAA are working jointly to review any new
allegations that come to
light. We’re going to continue to do so until their
investigation wraps up.”
The
Columbus
Dispatch has reported
that the NCAA and Ohio
State are investigating
more than 50 vehicle purchases by Buckeyes
players, family members
and friends over the past.
Sports Illustrated, citing
a source close to the
investigation, reported
that Pryor, who will be a
senior this fall, might
have driven as many as
eight cars in his three
years in Columbus.
Even though Pryor’s
vehicles have been a
focal point of the investigation for weeks, that
doesn’t mean he has been
riding a bicycle around

the city.
Pryor drove up to a
players-only team meeting on Monday night in a
coal-black Nissan 350Z
sports car with 30-day
plates. The automotive
information
site
Edmunds.com lists a
recent, used 350Z, which
it calls “a proper sports
car for the everyman,” as
costing between $16,000
and $27,000.
Pryor was stopped
three times for traffic
violations over the past
three years, each time
driving cars that were
owned by Kniffin or a
Columbus used-car dealership where he worked,
the Dispatch has reported. Kniffin, owner Jeff
Mauk of Jack Maxton
Chevrolet, Inc., and
Jason Gross of Auto
Direct Columbus, Inc.,
each provided affidavits
to Ohio State officials
earlier this month.
They said that all transactions associated with
an Ohio State athlete
were cleared through
Ohio State’s NCAA compliance department.
“If
the
OSU
Compliance Department
approved the transaction
terms, the transaction
would be finalized and
the vehicle would be
delivered to the customer,” Mauk said in his
statement.
Even though the dealerships have dozens of
signed jerseys on display
in their showrooms,

Kniffin and the dealerships said that was not
part of any deal.
“OSU student-athletes
weren’t given any enticements to buy the car at
my dealership,” Kniffin
said. “At no time did
memorabilia come into
play when it came time to
negotiate a deal or buy a
car. I was never given
any memorabilia from a
student-athlete
in
exchange for a car deal.”
Late on Monday night,
Sports Illustrated reported that the memorabiliafor-tattoos
violations
actually stretched back to
2002, Tressel’s second
season at Ohio State, and
involved at least 28 players — 22 more than the
university has acknowledged. Those numbers
include, beyond the six
suspended players, an
additional nine current
players as well as other
former players whose
alleged
wrongdoing
might fall within the
NCAA’s four-year statute
of limitations on violations.
After the article’s
release, athletic director
Gene Smith issued a
statement.
“During the course of
an investigation, the university and the NCAA
work jointly to review
any new allegations that
come to light, and will
continue to do so until
the conclusion of the
investigation,” he said.
“You should rest assured
that these new allega-

tions will be evaluated in
exactly this manner.
Beyond that, we will
have no further comment.”

Smith and Ohio State
President E. Gordon Gee

How about a ‘death
penalty’ for coaches?
BY PAUL NEWBERRY
ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jim Tressel was just
working the system. For
much of the past decade,
he knew his job was safe
even while his program
flouted the rules over and
over.
The formula is wellknown to everyone in the
coaching profession: Win
enough games, pad the
coffers, capture a championship every now and
then, and the job is yours
unless you do something
REALLY bad.
Tressel finally did
something REALLY bad
— covering up NCAA
violations at Ohio State
for close to a year — but
you still have to wonder
why it took so long for
this day to arrive.
What we need is a
death penalty for coaches. After two strikes, he’s
done. For good.
Tressel would have
been gone long ago.
Even before he got to
Ohio State, Tressel ran
afoul of the rules with his
recruitment of the star
quarterback at little
Youngstown State.
Turns out, the man
known as “the Vest” was
just getting warmed up.
The sliminess went big
time in the Big Ten, from
the offensive coordinator
who tried to arrange a
loan AND a car for a
recruit, to the future
Heisman Trophy winner
taking 500 bills from a
booster. There was never
a shortage of Buckeyes
on the arrest blotter, and
the sleaze-o-meter was
flashing like a slot
machine when Tressel
somehow figured out a
way to get Maurice
Clarett in school long
enough to win a national
championship before he
traded his football uniform for prison scrubs.
No problem, coach.
As long as we’re beating Michigan and capturing trophies, it’s all good.
They could shut down
these rogues if they really wanted to, but no one
has the guts to take on
deluded alumni who
equate the success of athletic programs with the
worth of their own lives?
Certainly not Ohio State
president-slash-apologist
Gordon Gee, who joked
back in February that he
had no intention of firing
Tressel.
“Are you kidding?”
Gee said. “I’m just hopeful the coach doesn’t dismiss me.”
This was AFTER the
president learned his
coach had known for
months that several players, including starting
quarterback
Terrelle
Pryor, were selling off
rings, uniforms and just
about anything that wasn’t nailed down to a
shady
tattoo-parlor
owner. Instead of telling
his bosses about the
NCAA
violations,
Tressel decided to keep
that juicy little bit of
information to himself.
Well, this episode of
“Columbus Ink” wound
up leading to the coach’s
cancellation. Tressel was
unable to stave off the
critics of his don’t-askand-definitely-don’t-tell
policy by volunteering
for a five-game suspension — same as his wayward players — and
agreeing to pay a hefty
fine.
Coming across a hypocrite to the very end,
Tressel signed off his resignation letter by saying,
“We know that God has a
plan for us and we will be
fine. We will be
Buckeyes forever.”
As long as that plan
doesn’t include another
coaching job, we’ll be
good with it. Some might
be stunned by the seemingly sudden downfall
for one of America’s top
coaches (after all, Tressel
was
leading
the

Buckeyes to a Sugar
Bowl
victory
over
Arkansas less than five
months ago), but it never
should’ve gone on this
long.
The first major violation is enough to earn the
head coach a one-year
suspension, whether or
not he was directly
involved in the wrongdoing. Much like international doping standards
hold athletes responsible
for anything that goes
into their bodies, a coach
should be accountable
for whatever is going on
in his program.
A
two-strike-andyou’re-out-rule would
prevent someone such as
Kentucky
basketball
coach John Calipari from
skipping around the
country just ahead of
those pesky investigators. He had already
moved on to his next gig
when first UMass, then
Memphis, had to forfeit
any mention of their
Final Four appearances
because they had used
ineligible players.
Likewise,
Tressel
would have been out
before this latest bit of
ugliness even had a
chance to arise from the
muck that is modern-day
college athletics.
Maybe the schools
could even work out a
deal with the NFL, ensuring the sanctions are recognized by the pros so a
scalawag such as Pete
Carroll can’t bolt for a
cushy job with the Seattle
Seahawks right before
the NCAA drops the
hammer on his longtime
employer, USC.
Of course, there’s little
reason to believe the
NCAA (puh-lease!) or
the schools (double puhlease!) have any real
desire to get tough. There
are too many people willing to write out big
checks and look the other
way, while pretending
they care about cleaning
things up.
For some insight into
the wink-wink-nod-nod
mindset that allowed the
Tressel administration to
carry on their rulebookdefying shenanigans for
a full decade, check out
the sign two students
quickly put up on their
porch in Columbus.
“Tressel Til I Die.”
Or listen to another of
the sycophants who tolerated this sort of behavior for far too long, giving Tressel a gushy sendoff in a YouTube video.
“I do want to thank
coach Tressel for his long
service to our university,” athletic directorslash-enabler
Gene
Smith said. “There were
a lot of people that he
touched in a highly positive way. We’re very
thankful for his leadership during the years that
we had great success on
the field and off it. But
more importantly, in the
classroom.”
Even now, one gets the
sense that Ohio State
finally cut ties with its
coach not so much
because it was the right
thing to do, but because it
might help mitigate the
inevitable NCAA penalties. The governing body
came down hard on USC.
The Buckeyes want to
avoid a similar fate,
which certainly wouldn’t
have been possible with
Tressel still on the payroll and other alleged
violations coming to
light on a nearly daily
basis.
Maybe if Tressel had
spent more time keeping
an eye on his football
team rather than writing
not one, but two books
on faith and integrity, he
might’ve actually had a
program that embodied
those words. Instead, his
career will be remembered for a joke going
around Monday.

who put the “vest” in
investigation.

first national title in 34 years, resigned Monday amid NCAA violations from a tattoo-parlor scandal.

James, Nicklaus both weigh in on Tressel departure
MIAMI
(AP)
—
LeBron James is at the
NBA
finals.
Jack
Nicklaus is hosting the
Memorial.
Neither can avoid the
current mess surrounding
Ohio State football.
James is a longtime
Buckeyes
fan,
and
Nicklaus played his college golf for Ohio State.
On Tuesday, when both
James and Nicklaus were
speaking before their
events, the very first
question each heard from
the media was about his
reaction to Tressel’s
scandalous
departure
from the Buckeyes.
Tressel
resigned
Monday amid NCAA
violations, sending one
of America’s proudest
programs into even more
turmoil.
Even now, Nicklaus
sounds unwavering in his
backing of the former
coach.
“How could you possibly control what some
kids do?” Nicklaus
asked. “It was a fairly
innocent act. You want to
get a tattoo? You’re
going to get a tattoo. Is
that a big deal? Maybe to
those kids it was. Maybe

it’s the NCAA’s fault.
Maybe the only way to
pay for those tattoos was
to do what they did. Is
that a big deal? Probably
not. It was theirs.
“At the end of it,
Tressel was like a father
to these kids. He brought
these kids into the
school, and he wants to
protect these kids. He
probably didn’t think that
was a big deal. And that
was his mistake.”
James, an Ohio native,
never went to college but
has been close with the
Buckeyes programs. The
basketball team wears his
line of apparel and James
is tight with Ohio State
quarterback
Terrelle
Pryor, whose car collection — specifically, how
he was able to obtain
expensive vehicles — is
now under scrutiny.
“Everyone
in
Columbus and Ohio
knows how important,
how great (Tressel) was
for the university,” James
said after the Miami Heat
completed their final
practice before Game 1
of the NBA finals against
the Dallas Mavericks on
Tuesday night. “So it’s
unfortunate. I wish him
the best and the organiza-

tion, the university will
come back. It’s one of the
best universities that we
have in America.”
Nicklaus is an Ohio
State legend. Not only is
he a native of Columbus,
Ohio, where the school is
based, but The Jack
Nicklaus Museum is in
the
heart
of
the
Buckeyes’ athletic complex.
“Well, obviously the
cover-up was far worse
than the act,” Nicklaus
said Tuesday in Dublin,
Ohio. “And once you got
the cover-up, it became a
situation where Jim had
to say some things that
turned out to be that
weren’t exactly truthful.
And so that’s where he
got himself in trouble. ...
I feel very bad for Jim.
He’s a nice man.”
Nicklaus’ grandson,
Nick O’Leary, signed
earlier this year to play
football for Florida State.
Nicklaus said he would
have been thrilled if the
tight end — one of the
nation’s most coveted
recruits in the 2011 signing class — had chosen
to play for Tressel.
Nicklaus said when
Ohio State was recruiting

his grandson, everything
went by the book.
Nicklaus and Tressel
were at the same game
last fall when the coach
was looking at O’Leary
and some of his teammates. But in accordance
with
NCAA
rules,
Nicklaus said Tressel did
not spend much time
with him at that game,
other than a quick greeting.
Tressel’s decade-long
run as Ohio State’s coach
ended because he was
aware players received
cash and tattoos for autographs, championship
rings and equipment and
did not tell anyone at
Ohio State or the NCAA
what he knew for more
than nine months. That
violated both NCAA
rules and the terms of his
own contact with the university.
“What’s going to happen, I don’t know beyond
this point,” Nicklaus
said. “The NCAA, it’s
more in their hands.
Once one of these things
happens, by the time they
get through digging
they’re going to find
whether somebody had a
hangnail someplace or
not.”

Football scandal puts focus on Ohio St president
COLUMBUS, Ohio
(AP) — In the wake of
football
coach
Jim
Tressel’s stunning resignation, attention is now
focusing on the job security of Ohio State
President Gordon Gee
and athletic director Gene
Smith.
Both Gee and Smith
offered unwavering, and
in the case of Gee, gushing-to-the-point-ofembarrassing support for
Tressel at a March 8 news
conference.
Since then, it’s become
clearer that the NCAA
may take a hard line on
the university’s transgressions, and Tressel’s resignation under pressure was
likely the first attempt to
minimize damage to the
university.
But the university is
already facing new allegations about its football
program, including questions about cars driven by
quarterback
Terrelle
Pryor and a growing
number of alleged violations involving players’
sales of OSU memorabilia. Ohio State faces an
Aug. 12 date with the
NCAA’s committee on
infractions, which could
lead to vacated games
and seasons, a bowl ban
and recruiting limitations.
The setbacks couldn’t
come at a worse time, as
Gee leads a $2.5 billion
fundraising campaign,
OSU’s biggest ever, and
the university prepares
for a tuition increase in
light of decreased state
aid.
Ohio State trustees

referred calls to Gee’s
office, and both Gee and
Smith declined comment
on Tuesday.
Both were thought to
be distancing themselves
from Tressel — despite
their earlier praise of the
coach’s integrity and honesty — in the weeks leading up to Monday’s stunning
resignation.
Likewise, both played
roles in Tressel’s shocking departure.
Tressel was forced to
step aside in the midst of
an NCAA investigation
of his program. In his resignation letter, he called
the inquiry by the sport’s
sanctioning body a “distraction.”
Five top players —
including Pryor — were
suspended in December
for the first five games of
the 2011 season for
accepting cash and tattoos from the owner of a
local
tattoo
parlor.
Edward Rife, a big
Buckeyes fan and sports
memorabilia collector,
owned Fine Line Ink.
Dozens of autographed
items including jerseys
and gloves, along with
Big Ten championship
rings and even Pryor’s
Fiesta Bowl sportsmanship award, were discovered in a raid on Rife’s
business by the U.S.
Attorney’s office.
Tressel received an
email in April 2010
telling him of the players’
involvement with Rife
and also disclosing that
they were selling the
items, a clear violation of
NCAA rules against

improper benefits for athletes. Yet Tressel did not
notify his Ohio State
superiors, the NCAA or
the university’s compliance department as he
was required by the
NCAA and his own contract. Instead, he forwarded the original email to
Pryor’s “mentor” in his
hometown of Jeannette,
Pa.
Smith met with Tressel
on Sunday night and
again on Monday, making it clear that the coach
needed to resign. Gee
also had a hand in the situation. He selected a special, eight-person committee of administrators
and members of the university’s board of trustees
to review and analyze all
aspects of the issues surrounding the beleaguered
football program.
In a note to the board of
trustees notifying them of
Tressel’s resignation, Gee
said he had been “actively reviewing” the matter.
Even if the NCAA —
which continues to investigate Ohio State’s athletic department — were to
find nothing else wrong
with the program, there
has been a rising tide of
dissatisfaction with both
Smith and Gee by alumni, fans and donors.
Gee, in his second stint
as president of Ohio State
in addition to being in
charge at West Virginia,
Colorado, Vanderbilt and
Brown, has been a rainmaker for the university,
bringing in large donors
and large contributions.
It’s the biggest reason

why the energetic man in
the trademark bow tie is
the highest-paid Division
I university president in
the country at around
$1.2 million.
Gee didn’t help his
cause with a joke he
made at a March 8 news
conference when asked
by a reporter if he had
considered firing Tressel.
“No, are you kidding?”
Gee said. “Let me just be
very clear: I’m just hopeful the coach doesn’t dismiss me.”
That could not have
played well with administrators and academicians
fighting the lingering
image of Ohio State as a
football factory.
Smith also heaped
praise on Tressel during
the March news conference, saying, “He is our
coach and we trust him
implicitly.”
In a subsequent interview with The Associated
Press, Smith conceded
that the news conference
had been “a nightmare.”
Now with Tressel out
of the picture, both Gee
and Tressel are the easiest
targets left. With the
NCAA still probing the
athletic department and
with headline-grabbing
reports almost every day
that athletes were coddled
and received cash and
cars, they are taking the
heat from fans and media.
Their fate will rest in
the hands of the board of
trustees and the movers
and shakers behind the
scenes of one of the
nation’s largest universities.
