Swift wins video of year at CMT Awards LUDACRIS MADE A surprise appearance, as did Sheryl Crow’s underwear. Lady Antebellum laid down a funky beat with Charles Kelley doing a Swift Don Henley impression. And a sassy Wynonna Judd put Kid Rock in his place. Actress Kristin Chenoweth’s first CMT Music Awards left quite an impression Wednesday night. “This show is entertaining,” Chenoweth said. “I think the Oscars could learn something from it.” Recent trends continued as Taylor Swift’s fans gave her the night’s top honor — the fan-voted video of the year award for “Mine” — Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me” continued its extraordinary run, and Lambert’s new husband, Blake Shelton, was the night’s only multiple winner.

Germany
Singer Lady Gaga performs during the German TV show “Germany’s Next Topmodel” in Cologne, Germany, on Thursday. As often is the case at the CMT Awards, though, the show was as memorable for its unlikely mashups and celebrity cross-pollination moments as for its winners. Swift joined Shania Twain for their own prerecorded faux movie trailer of “Thelma & Louise” that included guest appearances by Donald Trump and Kenny Rogers. Justin Bieber induced tears from teenagers as he walked the red carpet with
Rascal Flatts. Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver and “Dancing With the Stars” champion Hines Ward wore cowboy boots and shook his hips on stage. Wynonna Judd put Kid Rock in his place and taught him a little something about country on a duet of his “Hell, Yes, I’m Country.” And near the end of the show, fans audibly gasped as Twain slipped and fell on her way to the stage.

CLARA LUPER, 88, the Oklahoma civil rights icon who died late Wednesday in Oklahoma City after a lengthy illness, led sit-ins that helped integrate drug store lunch counters in four Midwestern states. While a sponsor of the Oklahoma City NAACP Youth Council, the former high school Ms. Luper teacher, in 2009 radio host and author — who was arrested 26 times during protests — prepared young blacks for the sit-ins, many of whom praised her Thursday as a loving, firm advocate. On Aug. 19, 1958, a 35-year-old Ms. Luper led three adult chaperones and 14 members of the youth council in a sit-in at the Katz Drug Store lunch counter in downtown Oklahoma City. The store refused to serve the group, but the protesters refused to leave, and the sit-in lasted for several days. The store chain eventually agreed to integrate lunch counters at 38 Katz Drug Stores in Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas and Iowa. During the next six years, the local NAACP chapter held sit-ins that led to the desegregation of virtually all eating establishments in Oklahoma City. “She brought the times up to her expectations,” said Gwendolyn Fuller Mukes, a retired school teacher in Wichita, Kan., who was among the 14 stu-

dents who participated in the first sit-in. Mukes said that during those sit-ins, she’d never seen so much hatred, but Ms. Luper was their advocate and staunchest supporter and “taught us how to look white people in the eye.” Ms. Luper hosted her own radio show for 20 years and told her story in her autobiography, Behold the Walls.

LEONARD STERN, 88, a prolific writer-producer-director whose credits include “The Honeymooners,” “Get Smart” and “McMillan and Wife,” died Tuesday. Mr. Stern died of heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said his spokesman, Dale Olson. A native of New York City, Mr. Stern found early success in TV writing for Jackie Gleason in “The Honeymooners” as well as the classic 1950s sitcom “The Phil Silvers Show” and “The Steve Allen Show.” In the 1960s, he produced the spy satire “Get Smart” and in the 1970s wrote, directed and produced “McMillan and Wife,” the lighthearted crime drama starring Rock Hudson. Film credits included screenplays for the 1952 version of “The Jazz Singer” starring Danny Thomas, as well as a pair of Abbott and Costello comedies. Three decades later, he wrote and directed “Just You and Me, Kid,” starring
George Burns and 14-yearold Brooke Shields. In 1985, he wrote the script for the action-thriller “Target,” starring Gene Hackman and directed by Arthur Penn. Mr. Stern was also involved in publishing, including the word game Mad Libs, which he co-created. During his career he won three Emmy awards, two Golden Globes and a Peabody award.
Setting it Straight Corrections and clarifications
■ A U.S. House of Representatives committee scheduled a June 17 hearing on the National Labor Relations Board allegation that the Boeing Co. retaliated against Washington state union workers by building an assembly plant in South Carolina. A headline on Page B4 Thursday incorrectly said it was the South Carolina House that called the hearing.

1936 (75 years ago) The Ballard-Ludlow Ferry Co. is converting one of the houses near the dock at Port Ludlow into a modern waiting room and ticket office. Every facility for the convenience of the passengers using the ferry service is planned. A cafe under the management of H.R. Busey, who is known for his meals on the Ballard-Port Ludlow ferry, will be operated at the new terminal. An information bureau will be maintained for the convenience of the tourists who use this “gateway” to the Olympic Peninsula.

exercises for the Class of 1961, which chose as its motto, “Pride in Our Progress, Faith in Our Future.” Student Brooke Taylor, in the opening speech, said it was more than a motto — it was their philosophy. He emphasized the indebtedness the 261 graduating seniors owe the faculty, school administrators and the community. More than $25,000 in scholarships were awarded to graduates this year, Taylor noted. [Taylor is now a Clallam County Superior Court judge.]
The Chimacum School District will offer its first summer school program. And not all students will be youngsters. Adults can attend the typing and computer classes, and all the classes are open to students from any school district. Some students from outside Washington who will spend summer on the North Olympic Peninsula have expressed interest in classes, said Wayne Johnson, Chimacum High School principal.
