The Kansas Highway Patrol is investigating whether marijuana and other drug use contributed to Saturday’s double-fatality accident near Eudora on Kansas Highway 10, a trooper said Monday.

Preliminary autopsy results show Ryan M. Pittman, 24, whose Toyota Camry crossed from the eastbound to the westbound lanes and struck a minivan headon “tested presumptively positive for marijuana,” Trooper Casey Simoneau said.

A Douglas County coroner’s spokeswoman said later Monday the preliminary autopsy also showed Pittman had benzodiazepine, which is a depressant used in drugs to treat insomnia and anxiety, and methadone in his system.

Brownback signs bill requiring photo ID at polls

By John Hanna Associated Press Writer

TOPEKA — Voters in Kansas will have to show photo identification to cast ballots under a law signed Monday by Gov. Sam Brownback, who predicted that the new requirement won’t cause obstacles at the polls.

Brownback and many fellow Republicans see Brownback the measure as an important check on potential election fraud, but a state leader of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People called the change “radical” and one that could leave some voters disenfranchised.

Brownback signed the legislation at a ceremony at the Statehouse with Secretary of State Kris Kobach, another Republican who pushed for the legislation. The event was exactly three months after Kobach outlined tougher photo ID proposals, though the secretary of state said the bill that passed contains most of what he wanted.

“For those who Kobach are lawful citizens of Kansas, this bill will not create obstacles to casting a ballot — not at all,” Brownback said. “I think these are reasonable steps to protect the rights of our citizens. Protecting the integrity of

TOPEKA — Just minutes after Gov. Sam Brownback signed the voter ID bill into law, Secretary of State Kris Kobach said he would push for more changes.

Two provisions that legislators dropped from Kobach’s proposal are still in play in other bills, Kobach said.

One would give the secretary of state’s office authority to prosecute violations of election law, a duty that is now left up to local prosecutors. The other would move up the date to require proof of citizenship to register to vote.

Kobach originally proposed proof of citizenship be made law on Jan 1, 2012, but the Legislature moved that back to Jan. 1, 2013. Kobach said it makes more sense to set the date at Jan. 1, 2012, because that would be a presidential election year when voter registration increases.

Both provisions are part of other bills currently under consideration by the Legislature, which returns to session on April 27. If they aren’t approved this year, Kobach said he would try again next year.

Having trouble parking?

Check out these tips for finding a space

Yes, an Elmer Fudd cap may be useful if you’re trying to park along Massachusetts Street; there are plenty of times you’re going to have to do some serious hunting.

But a new report out of Lawrence City Hall also shows that parking availability in many downtown lots may be better than motorists think.

“My gospel is that if you are willing to walk two blocks — like most people are prepared to do in a city — you can find a parking place at pretty much anytime,” said Cathy Hamilton,

RYAN PITTMAN DE SOTO — Funeral services for Ryan Pittman, 24, of Eudora and Lawrence, will be at 8 p.m. Wednesday at De Soto Baptist Church. Burial will be private.

Special to the Journal-World

COURTYLN SHUTT, 23 months, is recovering from neck injuries at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. Eudora High School in 2006 and had been attending Johnson County Community College, working toward a degree in electrical technology. In his obituary his family said he also loved fishing and hunting. His funeral is at 8 p.m.

Wednesday at De Soto Baptist Church.

Attempts to reach family members Monday were unsuccessful.

Gonzalo Carrasco, a Kansas University assistant professor of pharmacology, said the presence of marijuana, benzodiazepine and methadone in his system could have produced a major impairment because of their effects.

“That’s a very bad combination,” Carrasco said.

Benzodiazepines are used in prescriptions to treat insomnia and to produce calm in people who suffer from anxiety. He said methadone is used as a painkiller or to treat someone for addiction.

Cainan Lawrence said his family would not comment on the circumstances of the accident until the highway patrol had a final report in the case. But he said the family wanted to honor Cainan after his death.

The 5-year-old boy, who is the son of Tommy and Ali Shutt of Eudora, was scheduled to attend kindergarten roundup Monday. He was a preschool student at the Inchworm Clubhouse in Eudora.

Funeral services are planned for 11 a.m. Wednesday at Warren-McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence. Friends have set up a memorial fund at Kaw Valley State Bank in Eudora.

His grandfather described Cainan as a fun child who loved the outdoors, whether it was simply playing outside with friends, in his T-ball league or fishing with his dad.

“His funeral will be representative of the way he was,” Lawrence said, “and his energy and his love for life.”

KANSAS HIGHWAY 10 MEDIAN STUDIES The Kansas Department of Transportation said a 2008 traffic study did not find Kansas Highway 10 east of Lawrence to be the state’s best candidate for cable median barriers compared with two other fourlane stretches of road near Topeka and Wichita.

KDOT officials highlighted the study Monday after they were questioned about the number of wrongway crashes on K-10.

Dean Sicking, a University of Nebraska civil engineering professor, said the study considered the width of medians and traffic volume on the state’s four-lane roads. He said Kansas highways are designed with wide and flat medians and that cable medians have been used more often on roads such as Interstate 70 east of Kansas City, Mo., which had a narrow-

er median, higher traffic count and higher fatality rate.

Two people, including a 5-year-old boy, died Saturday and three people were injured when an eastbound car crossed the median near Eudora and struck a minivan head-on. Two other women died in separate wrong-way crashes in October and August near De Soto.

KDOT spokeswoman Kim Qualls said the state planned to reopen the cable-median study every three years, and Sicking said K-10 could be closer to being recommended for barriers then.

KDOT has a $235,000 construction project under way on U.S. Highway 75 for a 1-mile stretch in Topeka with future plans for 4 miles of a cable median along Kansas Highway 96 in Sedgwick County, Qualls said.

elections is a core piece of a working democracy.”

The new photo ID requirement will take effect Jan. 1.

Starting in 2013, anyone registering to vote for the first time in Kansas will have to provide proof of their U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, though a Kansas driver’s license could suffice for many. Also, election officials will have to verify the signatures of prospective voters before sending them a ballot by mail.

Kobach made combatting election fraud the key issue of his successful campaign last year — overcoming skepticism that it’s significant in Kansas. An intense debate over the problem’s size continues, with criminal prosecutions still rare.

The secretary of state suggested the legislation made the most significant changes in state election laws in a century. “The biggest change before this would have been, of course, the granting of the right to vote to women,” he said. Kansas granted equal voting rights to women in 1912.

Critics contend the new law will suppress voter turnout and decrease the number of people registered to vote. They argue that poor and minority voters are most likely to be affected. Kevin Myles, president of the NAACP’s Kansas chapter, said opponents of the new law will monitor how it works.

“We are considering all options for how we could ensure that no legal American citizen is disenfranchised, as a result of administrative errors or ideological fervor,” Myles said. He did not rule out a court challenge.

Supporters strongly dispute arguments that the bill will suppress turnout or registration, or affect poor and minority Kansans disproportionately.

Kobach said the measure was written to withstand court challenges. For example, one provision requires the state to issue a free photo ID to someone who needs one for voting.

Eight other states have photo ID laws, and a statute in Oklahoma takes effect July 1, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, though proposals have gained traction among legislators in nearly a dozen other states. Kobach said the Kansas law is stronger because it marries a photo ID provision to a proof-of-citizenship requirement and new rules for mail ballots.

“I think that really shows the rest of the country what you can do,” Kobach said. “If you want to have the top-shelf model — if you want to have the Cadillac of voter security measures — the Kansas model is the way to go.”

To bolster his arguments that election fraud is a serious issue in Kansas, Kobach released a study in January that said his off ice had received 59 reports of alleged irregularities involving at least 221 ballots since 1997.

Some allegations were based on vague reports of potential wrongdoing; most hadn’t been thoroughly investigated, and relatively few were pursued by prosecutors.

Critics contend many perceived irregularities boil down to mistakes by prospective voters and even election off icials themselves, not deliberate fraud.

KANSAS HOUSE

1 | WASHINGTON, D.C.

S&P warns of U.S. losing credit rating A key credit agency issued an unprecedented warning to the United States government Monday, urging Washington to get a grip on its finances or risk losing the nation’s sterling credit rating.

For the first time, Standard & Poor’s lowered its long-term outlook for the federal government’s fiscal health from “stable” to “negative” and warned of serious consequences if lawmakers fail to reach a deal to control the massive federal deficit.

An impasse could prompt the agency to strip the government of its top investment rating in the next two years, S&P said. A loss of the triple-A rating would ripple through the American economy, making loans more expensive and credit more difficult to obtain.

The downgrade was interpreted as a rebuke to President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans, admonishing them to put politics aside and come up with a long-term financial plan as soon as possible.

Arizona governor vetoes ’birther’ bill Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer on Monday vetoed a bill that would have required President Barack Obama and other presidential candidates to prove their U.S. citizenship before their names could appear on the state’s ballot.

The bill would have made Arizona the first state to pass such a requirement. Opponents had warned the bill would give another black eye to Arizona after last year’s controversy over the state’s illegal immigration enforcement law.

Brewer said in her veto letter that she was troubled that the bill empowered Arizona’s secretary of state to judge the qualifications of all candidates when they file to run for office.

2 Afghan soldiers killed in Taliban firing A Taliban militant opened fire inside the Afghan Defense Ministry on Monday, killing two Afghan soldiers in the latest daring attack inside a government or military installation.

The Taliban said one of their agents who was also an army officer planned the attack to coincide with a visit of the French defense minister. French officials said the minister, Gerard Longuet, was not in the ministry at the time.

Despite the Taliban claim, Afghan military officials said it was not immediately clear whether the assailant — who was wearing a vest rigged with explosives — was an enlisted soldier or an insurgent disguised in a military uniform. The vest did not explode.

Lawrence Rotarians quiz Zenger on KU topics

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Kansas University’s new athletic director said Monday he hopes to make the department a place where student-athletes train.

Sheahon Zenger was speaking to a group of Lawrence Rotarians Monday and detailed parts of his speech that he intended to give Zenger to all KU studentathletes this fall.

He said that he would tell the athletes that all through their lives — since grade school, for many of them — people had been clapping for them.

“Someday, the clapping is going to stop for you,” Zenger said.

He hoped to be able to teach student-athletes that life isn’t always easy and to be prepared for disappointments and hard times, too.

“We’ve got to teach them and prepare them for these moments of their lives,” he said.

Zenger also fielded questions from the crowd and touched on a wide variety of topics: ● Football at Arrowhead: The first question the crowd asked Zenger was about his feelings on the Kansas-Missouri football game being played annually at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium.

He said as a Kansan, he would personally love to see the football game

back in Memorial Stadium, but added the athletic department’s budget won’t allow for it quite yet.

“Until we fill Memorial Stadium, we can’t really afford to pull it back,” he said. “Until then, we need the revenue.” ● New billboards coming: Thanks to an anonymous donor, Zenger said to look for lots of new billboards in western Kansas along Interstate 70 and along the Kansas Turnpike south to Wichita.

He said the billboard design would be something he’s always envisioned in the past — half of the billboard devoted to a photo of Kansas wheat in the field and the other half featuring KU students waving the wheat. A Jayhawk will be

● On conference realignment: Zenger said he was happy with the way things shook out with KU landing in a 10-team Big 12 Conference.

Particularly with a new television deal signed, the Big 12 remains among the top revenue-generating conferences in the country.

He said he looked forward to the new conference scheduling, when KU will play every team in football, and every team twice in basketball.

“That’s pretty neat stuff,” he said.

“It kind of reminds me of the old Big 8 days.”

Clinton Lake cleanup Whether on foot or in a boat, hundreds of volunteers are needed to help in a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers program to pick up trash Saturday at Clinton Lake.

Participation has been down in recent years, park manager David Rhoades said.

Between 50 to 75 people have shown up, when closer to 200 to 250 people are needed to help collect the trash that is littered across the 2,300 acres that make up the Clinton Lake park. Each year several hundred pounds of trash are gathered.

“It really helps us out a lot. We don’t have to spend a lot of time digging around in the woods and pulling things out,” Rhoades said.

Those who volunteer will be served lunch and have the chance to win “cash for trash” prizes.

The cleanup is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday. Registration is at the north end of the dam at Shelter No. 1 in Overlook Park.

ON THE

STREET

By Nick Nelson Read more responses and add your thoughts at LJWorld.com

Have you ever changed your mind about shopping downtown because you couldn’t find a parking spot?

Asked on Massachusetts Street

Manas Bhatnagar, student, Bhopal, India “No. I don’t drive.”

Sally Pokorny, district judge, Lawrence “No. Maybe it’s because I don’t mind walking.”

LAWRENCE

Parking CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

1. Massachusetts Street: The later in the day, the tougher it gets to find a spot.

Massachusetts Street parking places are 92 percent full during weekday evening hours and 94 percent on Saturday evenings. If you are trying to find a parking space earlier in the day, it gets a little better.

Those numbers range from a low of 65 percent capacity on weekday mornings to 88 percent on Saturday afternoons.

2. Northwest downtown: This area, which includes the library parking lot and the lots in the 700 and 800 blocks of Vermont Street, actually is the toughest to find a weekday parking spot in the mornings or afternoons. On weekdays, parking is 77 percent full in the mornings, 80 percent full in the afternoons.

But keep the area in mind for the evenings. It drops to 62 percent capacity on weekdays. On Saturdays, the area is less busy. Parking capacities fall by about 5 to 10 percentage points for mornings, afternoons and evenings.

3. Southwest downtown: Go just a little farther down Vermont Street — like the 900, 1000 and 1100 blocks — and parking availability increases quite a bit. On weekday mornings 53 percent of the spots are full, 58 percent on weekday afternoons and just 35 percent on weekday evenings. On Saturdays, 60 percent of spots are full in the mornings, 41 percent in the afternoons and 39 percent in the evenings.

SOUND OFF

Q:

Will, or when will, the overpass on East 1000 Road, that goes over the turnpike be extended to Holly Charlton, accommodate the extra lanes sales associate, of traffic? They have changed Lawrence the other overpasses, but not “I’ve never changed my mind, this one. but I’m sure that people have” According to Keith Browning, director of public works for Douglas County, it will happen in the future, although it’s not scheduled at this time. He said the need for that will be triggered by either the widening of I-70 and/or the need to replace the bridge because of its condition.

A:

CALL SOUND OFF Zeke Westerman, student, Chanute “No, because I don’t drive.

But when I did drive, parking wasn’t usually an issue because you could always park in the garage.”

If you have a question for Sound Off, call 832-7297.

4. New Hampshire Street parking garage: The garage, in the 900 block of New Hampshire Street, is a pretty good bet anytime. There’s no portion of the garage that was ever more than 73 percent full, according to this survey.

The averages are closer to about 60 percent during weekday mornings and afternoons, and about 35 percent in the evenings. The numbers are less across the board on Saturdays.

5. Northeast downtown: Downtown parkers, you always have a safety net. It is the Riverfront Parking garage at Sixth and New Hampshire streets. No area of the garage was more than 57 percent full during this survey. On weekends, there are parts of the garage that you could probably use for football practice. During the mornings and afternoons on Saturdays, the garage is at about 15 percent capacity or less. On Saturday evenings, there are parts that get up to about 40 percent capacity.

Go farther down New Hampshire Street, however, and the parking gets tougher, especially on Saturdays and evenings. The two-hour lots in the 700 and 800 blocks of New Hampshire are often at 80 percent or more capacity on weekdays and weekends.

The 10-hour lot in the 800 block of New Hampshire also is often at 80 percent or more capacity during weekday mornings and afternoons.

Proposed parking lot change on city agenda that would allow employees of the firm to take spots on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Treanor is asking the city to provide the company a 10-year guarantee on how much the parking passes will cost. He’s proposing the current rate of $195 per year, per pass.

Commissioners meet at 6:35 p.m. today at City Hall.

Lawrence city commissioners at their meeting tonight will consider changing a downtown parking lot to accommodate plans for an architectural firm to move its headquarters downtown.

Commissioners will consider converting the two-hour lot in the 1000 block of Vermont Street into a 10-hour metered lot. Officials with Lawrencebased Treanor Architects have asked for the change. The architecture firm is planning a $2 million project to convert the former Strong’s Office Supply building at 1040 Vt., which is adjacent to the parking lot, into an office building.

None of the spaces in the city lot would be reserved for the Treanor project. Instead, Treanor would purchase 50 parking passes from the city

INJURY ACCIDENT A 70-year-old Baldwin City man was hospitalized in Topeka after a one-vehicle rollover accident that occurred Sunday afternoon on U.S. Highway 56 about 10 miles west of Baldwin City.

A Kansas Highway Patrol report said Vernon L. Christian fell asleep at 2:25 p.m. while driving his 2001 Chevrolet truck east on U.S. 56. The truck, which was pulling a trailer, drifted into the south ditch, where Christian lost control and rolled it onto its driver’s side.

Christian was taken to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center in Topeka, where a hospital spokeswoman said Monday his family had not authorized her to release an update on his condition. The KHP report said Christian was not wearing his seat belt.

Trial opens for man accused of apartment shooting

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

An attempted seconddegree murder trial opened Monday for a 26-year-old Lawrence man accused of shooting another man at a Dec. 5, 2010, party at a south Lawrence apartment complex.

Prosecutor Michael Allen, an assistant Douglas County district attorney, told jurors during opening statements that several eyewitnesses could link defendant Dustin D. Walker to the shooting of Darrick Dew, 23, who eventually recovered after he was shot in the abdomen.

Allen said witnesses identified Walker as the man wearing a dark blue puffy coat at a party earlier at Cross Walker Town Tavern, 1910 Haskell Ave. The same witnesses are expected to testify they saw Walker fire at Dew from a gun hidden inside his coat at South Pointe Apartments, 2310 W. 26th St., Allen said.

Prosecutors said Dew, who was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital by a

cousin, was bleeding severely. Police arrested Walker four days later in Lawrence.

But Walker’s defense attorney John Kerns said prosecutors have little physical evidence to tie Walker to the shooting, and he questioned the credibility of some witnesses.

“We’re going to ask you to scrutinize the evidence that exists in this case and take into consideration what does not exist,” Kerns said.

Prosecutors are asking jurors to convict Walker of attempted second-degree murder and being a felon in possession of a firearm due to a 2008 aggravated battery

conviction for a domestic violence incident.

Walker also faces a trial later this year on a reckless aggravated battery charge for an unrelated shooting in 2008 in the 2500 block of Redbud Lane.

Head of Marching Jayhawks to leave at end of semester

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

The director of the Kansas University Marching Jayhawks will leave KU after the semester ends to pursue a doctoral degree.

David Clemmer has been director of the Marching Jayhawks and director of athletic bands since coming to KU from Sam Houston State University in 2006.

Paul Popiel, KU’s director of bands, said that the number of marching band participants increased tremendously while Clemmer

served as director. Clemmer said the band has increased from about 150 when he arrived to about 280 today.

“The quality of the band has improved significantly,” Popiel said.

Clemmer will attend school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, he said. The doctorate would prepare him to one day move into a job as director of bands.

That position would allow him to spend additional time with the musical side of his profession, including training graduate conductors and spending more time working

with a school’s concert ensemble band.

“Once this degree’s completed, that will prepare me in terms of the necessary paperwork,” Clemmer said.

The decision to leave was a difficult one, Clemmer said, but he said he was thankful for the people he met at KU. “I truly believe that our students are in a wonderful place and they believe in each other and they believe in the Marching Jayhawks as an idea,” Clemmer said.

BRIEFLY School board puts off discussion on busing BALDWIN CITY — Cutting busing to all USD 348 students who live inside the city limits of Baldwin City drew the attention of several school district patrons.

The Baldwin City school board held a special public forum Monday night, giving patrons the chance to voice their opinions.

SCHOOLS Five of the 28 audience members spoke against cutting transportation inside the city limits. Safety, lack of sidewalks and parents working out of town were the three main reasons that were given.

The district’s transportation committee made a recommendation to the school board at its April 11 meeting to cut all busing to students inside the

In addition to the center turn lane, the project will include removing the raised median that exists in front of Hy-Vee. The current rightin/right-out driveway to HyVee’s gas station also will be converted into a full two-way driveway.

BRIEFLY State jobless rate remains about same TOPEKA — The Kansas unemployment rate remained steady in March.

The 7.1 percent jobless rate was down from 7.2 percent in February and 7.5 percent in March 2010.

But the seasonally adjusted rate for March was unchanged at 6.8 percent — the same as February although down from 7.2 percent in March 2010.

“The March Labor Report suggests that Kansas may be about to turn the corner in jobs created or retained. However, our optimism must be curbed with caution until we see a greater pace of private sector job growth,” said Kansas Labor Secretary Karin Brownlee.

There were 18,480 initial claims for unemployment benefits in March, up from 16,331 initial claims in February and down from 20,981 in March 2010. There were 222,071 continued claims in March, down from 234,356 in February and down from 372,977 in March 2010.

The unemployment rate for Douglas County was 6.3 percent in March, down from 6.5 percent in February. The March 2010 unemployment rate in Douglas County was also 6.3 percent.

Supporters push for medical marijuana TOPEKA — Supporters of legalizing marijuana for medical reasons are making a push this session to get a hearing on their proposed legislation.

Rep. Gail Finney, D-Wichita, urged supporters to contact their legislators this week to work on the proposal.

Finney has introduced the “Cannabis Compassionate Care Act,” which would legalize use of medical marijuana for Kansans with certain debilitating illnesses such as cancer, AIDS, Crohn’s disease, multiple sclerosis and hepatitis C. The Kannabis Project is organizing a day of action Wednesday to urge legislative leaders to allow a hearing on House Bill 2330. Currently, 15 states and Washington, D.C., have medical marijuana laws, Finney said.

The Legislature reconvenes its session on April 27.

Tax challenge Online shopping is having a significant impact on retail businesses — and local sales tax collections.

S

ometimes numbers can serve as a crystal ball. Here are two numbers that ought to worry Lawrence leaders responsible for providing basic services to the community: ● More than 46 percent of the city’s general fund revenues in 2011 are projected to come from sales tax collections. Sales taxes have become the largest single revenue source — more than twice as large as property taxes — for the city fund that pays for basic services such as police, fire, street maintenance and many other core services. ● In 2010, the amount of money spent buying products online increased by 14.8 percent.

According to the U.S. Commerce Department, online sales grew at a rate more than two times faster than total retail spending. Simply put, the retail industry is becoming more about online shopping each and every day.

If the city of Lawrence were a stock, these numbers alone would be enough to put its price on a downward trajectory. These numbers paint a bleak future for Lawrence’s ability to provide services to its residents.

The reason, of course, is that sales taxes aren’t collected on many online purchases. That fact has created a structural problem for Lawrence and other governments across the country. The city’s largest revenue source is now being eroded because federal leaders are feckless in standing up to online retailers and shoppers.

It is clear that this flawed system is having an impact in Lawrence. Just last week, the longtime and respected downtown merchant The Bay Leaf announced it will close. Certainly many factors have led to this loss, but it would be hard to argue with the store’s owner that competition from online retailers has played a role.

There’s much that can be done to level the playing field. The most comprehensive solution, however, would be for Congress to pass a law requiring online retailers to collect a use tax on sales made in the 45 states and approximately 7,500 different local jurisdictions that collect a sales tax. In today’s high-tech world, that is not as difficult as it sounds. In fact, many brick-and-mortar retailers that make deliveries already are required to keep track of a myriad of different sales tax rates.

Lawrence and other local governments have been lobbying for this change for years.

But their lobbying efforts won’t be enough.

Before Congress will make this change, the issue probably must be reframed.

It must be made clear to politicians and the public that this is not a new tax. State governments already are in agreement that a use tax should be collected on purchases made online.

As a Kansas consumer, you are responsible for keeping track of your untaxed online purchases and claiming them on your state tax return.

But state leaders do little to advertise that responsibility, and their ability to efficiently enforce the provision is even more limited.

But the point is, politicians don’t have to pass a new tax to correct this problem. They just need to improve the collection mechanism. Online retailers should be responsible for collecting the consumer’s tax, just as brickand-mortar retailers are responsible for collecting sales taxes.

Absent federal leaders stepping up, local officials should start talking about how they plan to replace the tax revenue that will be lost to online sales. We can try to make Lawrence more attractive to new and larger retail businesses, but additional action may be necessary. Do we want to enact a local income tax?

Do we want to raise local property taxes? Do we want to start converting free roads into toll roads? Perhaps such discussion will wake some people up.

Of course, we can and should continue to look for ways to make government operate more efficiently. But we shouldn’t just blindly assume that we’ll figure out how to make up for lost revenue without cutting core services that residents clearly expect.

Mistrust marks U.S.-Pakistan dealings The unhappy marriage of convenience between the United States and Pakistan survived another squabble last week.

Pakistan threatened to halt CIA drone strikes against militants in its tribal areas, one of the only effective U.S. tools for hitting alQaida and Taliban operatives based there. Pakistani officials then leaked their demand that Washington sharply reduce the number of CIA and special-forces operatives working in the country.

All this followed the arrest of a CIA contractor named Raymond Davis, who had killed two Pakistanis allegedly trying to rob him. Pakistan’s spy chief hastened to Washington last week to voice his anger to CIA Director Leon Panetta.

So is this strategic relationship heading toward a very nasty divorce?

Not yet. Some of the Pakistani threats were theatrics. Drone attacks will continue, though perhaps at reduced levels. Cuts in CIA personnel will be far less drastic than rumored in the media. Moreover, Davis was released thanks to some smart diplomacy by Pakistani and U.S. officials.

But the frayed alliance undercuts U.S. plans to draw down troops in Afghanistan and leave behind a stable country. Washington needs better cooperation from Pakistan in shutting down Taliban havens on its soil, which fuel the conflict. Without that cooperation, a U.S. troop withdrawal could plunge Afghanistan into renewed civil war.

So is there a way besides constant quarrels and shaky reunions to handle U.S.-Pakistani relations?

The fundamental problem, says the distinguished South Asia expert and diplomat Teresita

Trudy Rubin trubin@phillynews.com

It’s time to lessen U.S. “dependence on Pakistan:

Huzzahs for the overdue move to ship more U.S. supplies into Afghanistan via a northern route rather than through Karachi.”

Schaffer, is that “our strategic objectives (in Afghanistan) have some overlap but don’t coincide.”

Schaffer has written a fascinating book with her husband, Howard, also a South Asia hand, that lays out better ways of dealing with the prickly Pakistanis. Its very title is revealing: “How Pakistan Negotiates With the United States: Riding the Roller Coaster.” The couple examine ways of coping with cultural differences, divergent power structures, and deep mutual mistrust. They even give wise advice on how to cope with repeated Pakistani statements “that the U.S. side considers either irrational or blatantly untrue.”

But the Davis case sums up the difficulties of managing the U.S.Pakistani relationship. Davis was a security contractor protecting CIA agents who were apparently spying on the militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). That’s the organization that carried out the bloody attack on the Indian

city of Mumbai in 2008.

Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency (ISI) nurtured the growth of LeT because the militant group fought against India in Kashmir. Despite the Mumbai outrage, and despite the fact that LeT now plans attacks on the West, the Pakistani military refuses to dismantle the group because of obsession with the “Indian threat.”

“The army and ISI were furious that the United States was running operations to survey militant organizations with whom they had a continuing relationship,” Schaffer said. Of course, if the Pakistani army would shut down LeT, the CIA would not need to be tailing these militants.

Similarly, if Pakistan’s military were making more headway in clearing al-Qaida and Taliban militants from its side of the Afghan border, the CIA drone strikes would not be needed. But last week, the Obama administration sent a report to Congress that was deeply critical of the slow pace of Pakistan’s efforts. And the Pakistani army has been unable to hold areas it has cleared.

Needless to say, the Pakistani military and ISI see the situation very differently. In conversations I’ve had with serving and retired army and ISI officers, they attribute their militant problem to U.S. errors in Afghanistan. They are unwilling to shut down havens for the Afghan Taliban (whom they trained in the 1990s) because they want a friendly, and anti-Indian, regime to take over in Kabul after the U.S. exit. They believe the Taliban may provide their best option.

The ISI is also prone to leaking stories that stoke anti-Americanism in the Pakistani public, so it can tell U.S. officials that its hands

are tied because of public outrage.

So how does one deal with this kind of partner? Pakistan’s concerns about the future of neighboring Afghanistan are perfectly legitimate. But the paranoia that accompanies those concerns makes it nearly impossible to address them.

Pakistani army officers believe India wants to use Afghanistan as a base from which to dismember Pakistan. They are also convinced — and here’s where their fear of CIA spies goes ballistic — that the United States wants to seize Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.

Thus, the Davis case becomes a symbol of a much bigger problem. In theory, both sides have a strong common interest in promoting a stable Afghanistan. But Pakistanis don’t trust us, and we don’t trust them.

Pakistan wants to be in the driver’s seat in negotiating an Afghan solution, one that totally excludes India and focuses too much on the Taliban. Won’t work. Washington must recognize Pakistan’s legitimate role, but it can’t turn over control of the whole process.

It’s time to lessen U.S. dependence on Pakistan: Huzzahs for the overdue move to ship more U.S. supplies into Afghanistan via a northern route rather than through Karachi.

We should listen to Pakistani officials’ concerns and keep stressing our common objectives. But we can’t let their paranoia prevent us from doing what’s necessary if they won’t — and that includes drone strikes.

Cope with our roller-coaster relationship, yes, but don’t let it drive us off the rails.

OLD HOME TOWN

25 YEARS AGO

IN 1986

While questioning its constitutionality, Gov. John Carlin reluctantly signed into a law a new bill. The controversial law would set a $1 million limit on the amount victims of medical malpractice could be compensated for their injuries.

100

From the Lawrence Daily JournalWorld for April 19, 1911: “Men trying to replace the home of Harry Richards on its foundation YEARS yesterday, finished the work which AGO last week’s tornado began. The IN 1911 cyclone turned the house over on its roof.... By means of a block and tackle, an effort was being made to turn the house back on its base. It was lowered on its side all right, but the next pull jerked it almost entirely to pieces.”

“The relief movement for the aid of tornado victims received a decided impetus this morning when representatives of the Civic League and the Merchants Association met and appointed committees to assist in the work. At 12 o’clock nearly $225 had been subscribed and the amount is expected to reach $250 by evening. In addition to this fund, the Merchants Association has agreed to contribute one-third of whatever is necessary for building repairs.”

PUBLIC FORUM

Divisive plan?

Read more Old Home Town at LJWorld.com/ paid, poorly dressed, lacking in skills and edunews/lawrence/history/old_home_town. cation, and “not deserving of respect.” Well.

I am not a teacher but freely proclaim that I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to those stalwart individuals who saw beyond the brash young man and nurtured an intellect to maturity. Mr. Elliot, my fourth-grade teacher at Wyandanch Elementary, I salute you. You taught me that the space between my ears was more than a hat rack.

Mr. Sweetland, my physics teacher at Chaffey High School, I survived you. Seriously, five classes of students could only merit two A grades? I worked my rear off for one of them, and learned much as a result. Kudos to you. Roger, my college degree counselor at Antioch, thanks for teaching me to just say thanks to praise and not hide my intellect behind a facade of coolness.

Teachers are among the lowest-paid professions in their educational category. They labor for love and commitment. They nurture and prepare our children to inherit the future. They are owed our respect and have earned our gratitude.

Ms. Paris, I suggest you consider those teachers that furthered your education and submit that without those teachers you would not have been able to demonstrate your deplorable ignorance with such clarity and persuasiveness.

Doug Burger, Lawrence

To the editor: In his April 15 Saturday Column, Mr. Simons calls the president divisive.

The president proposes a $4 trillion deficit reduction over 12 years, half of it through spending cuts. Tax reforms and tax increases on the wealthy would provide half of the remainder, with interest savings, etc., providing the other half. No details yet, that’s true.

Paul Ryan proposed $5.8 trillion spending cuts, which would drastically slash Medicaid ($771 billion over a decade) and privatize Medicare, which does need fixing, but not his way. Seventy-plus percent of all the spending reductions would end up as tax cuts for the wealthy and for corporations and NOT targeted for deficit reduction.

Dick Cheney claimed that deficits don’t matter. They surely do now! But those who harp on the tired old “class war” argument (as Simons states Obama is doing) still seem to believe that, irrespective of how gargantuan the deficit is, we can simply “grow out of it” without increased revenues. And growth can only be accomplished by slashing the safety net under the poor and the lower middle class and shift more wealth to the very top. What happened to those jobs allegedly created by the Bush tax cuts? Did the economy not thrive after Clinton raised taxes in the mid-1990s?

Would Simons explain which of the two plans are more divisive?

LAWRENCE ALMANAC Through 8 p.m. Monday.

Pharmacy tracking system launched TOPEKA (AP) — Kansas launched a new, electronic system Monday designed to better track the sale of pharmaceuticals used in making methamphetamine.

Attorney General Derek Schmidt and representatives of the Board of Pharmacy said the system, the National Precursor Log Exchange, instantly records sales of nonprescription drugs containing pseudoephedrine — a key ingredient in meth.

Kansas joins nearly a dozen states that operate the electronic tracking system, including Arkansas and Missouri.

Much of the effort has focused on retail sales of pseudoephedrine. The decongestant is found in many cold and allergy medicines, but it’s also a key ingredient in meth.

Kansas passed a law in 2005 limiting the quantity of such nonprescription remedies that people can buy at one time.

The medicines are kept behind pharmacy counters, and buyers have to sign a special register.

Schmidt said that law has reduced the number of clandestine meth labs seized by law enforcement. He said the numbers have dropped from as high as 850 lab seizures annually in the late 1990s to between 120 and 150 now.

KANSAS FOOTBALL

Tom Keegan tkeegan@ljworld.com

RB Miller drawing attention So far, Kansas University football coach Turner Gill has decided to bar the media from watching his team’s intrasquad scrimmages, which has resulted in keeping the buzz about the 2011 season at barely audible levels and has kept ticket sales from reaching levels they might otherwise reach.

Still, even though the media never has seen first-semester freshman Darrian Miller carry the football for Kansas, word about his abilities has made the program’s fan base curious to know more about him.

Miller, from Blue Springs (Mo.) High, ran for four touchdowns in an intrasquad scrimmage April 9 and ran for another score in the next scrimmage, a week later.

Reggie Mitchell, KU’s recruiting coordinator and runningbacks coach, knew he had landed a big fish when he received a commitment from the four-star Miller. He just didn’t know how big.

“Darrian, when the ball is in his hands, he has a chance to make a big play all the time,” Mitchell said. “He’s got a great feel for running the ball, good vision and good feet, so he’s been a pleasant surprise.”

Last season, no KU running back had a run longer than the 28-yard, fourth-quarter touchdown by freshman James Sims, which put Kansas ahead of Colorado during the season-highlight comeback victory.

The presence of Sims and Miller softens the blow of the loss of Brandon Bourbon, whose spring ended Monday and whose 2011 season is in question after he suffered a leg injury. The contrasting styles brought by Sims and Miller give Kansas, which will be the underdog in roughly all but three games, a shot at shortening games by featuring the running game. The shorter the game, the better the chance to pull off an upset.

“Darrian’s more of a changeof-pace type guy, whereas James is an inside-the tackles runner, but he has the ability to get on the edge as well,” Mitchell said.

“It’s a good combination so far.”

If Miller is called upon to be an every-down runner, Mitchell said he thinks he could do it as a freshman.

“He’s bigger than you think,” Mitchell said. “He’s about 195 pounds. He has this wiry body.

He’s put together pretty good.

He’s made people miss, and he’s run through arm tackles. If he’s the guy, he’ll be able to carry the ball.”

Mitchell’s done an amazing job of luring running backs to KU. Bourbon was committed to Stanford, and Mitchell convinced him to sign with Kansas.

Miller was a huge coup and arrived a semester earlier than two other highly ranked backs, burner Anthony Pierson from East St. Louis, Ill., and Dreamius Smith of Wichita.

“I’ve been pleased with the running backs, and the offensive line has done a great job,” Mitchell said. “We’re a lot further ahead from where we were last year, not only from a scheme standpoint, but from a talent standpoint.”

On paper, Kansas looks short on talent and/or experience at several spots — quarterback, wideout, defensive tackle, defensive end, linebacker — but the running-back position appears to feature ample talent to compensate for a lack of experience. At running back, more so than any position, talent always takes precedence over experience.

KANSAS WIDE RECEIVER KALE PICK (7) IS BEING COMPARED to former Kansas star Kerry Meier (10). Both made the transition from quarterback to wide receiver.

Former QB Pick following Meier’s path to receiver

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

Kansas University junior Kale Pick is getting pretty used to being compared to other people.

Last year, as he fought to claim the starting quarterback job for the Jayhawks — which he lost three quarters into the season — Pick often was compared to Todd Reesing, a mobile quarterback who could beat teams with his legs as much as his arm.

Now, Pick’s being compared to another former KU great — Kerry Meier. The reason? After being benched in KU’s season-opening loss to North Dakota State in 2010, Pick never again played a meaningful snap at QB. By season’s end, he was moved to wide receiver, and, like it or not, began following

reached out to Meier this winter to pick his brain about what to expect from the transition.

“I called him over Christmas break,” Pick said. “And he just talked to me about some of the stuff I need to work on, kind of the basic stuff to get started. It was a pretty quick call.”

That’s fitting because Pick has been quick to pick up the transition to receiver, too. Last year, Pick appeared at wideout in just a handful of games. He made three catches for 18 yards, including a long reception of nine. Despite his limited exposure at the position, he has welcomed everything the coaches could throw at him this spring — literally and figuratively.

because of Monday’s setback, his season may be in doubt.

Shortly after Monday’s practice, KU junior D.J. Beshears posted on his Twitter page that the worst part of his day was seeing one of his teammates break his leg and fracture his ankle in practice. By 8:40 p.m., the Tweet had been removed.

Though disappointing

Kansas University basketball coach Bill Self had a successful in-home recruiting visit Monday night with Trevor Lacey, a 6-foot3, 200-pound senior guard from Butler High in Huntsville, Ala. Describing the time spent with Self as “awesome,” Lacey’s father, William Pride, told Rivals.com that his son will make an official visit to KU on April 29-30 or the following weekend.

Lacey — he averaged 31.4 points a game last season — has a f inal list of KU, Alabama, Auburn, UConn and Kentucky.

NBA Howard top defender again ORLANDO, FLA. — Dwight Howard has another piece of hardware for his personal trophy case.

The Orlando Magic center became the first player to win the NBA Defensive Player of the Year Award three straight seasons Monday — and the voting wasn’t close.

Howard received 585 points, including 114 first-place votes, from a panel of 120 sports writers and broadcasters. Boston’s Kevin Garnett finished second with 77 points, and Dallas’ Tyson Chandler was third with 70.

Thunder’s go-ahead goal illegal OKLAHOMA CITY — The NBA says Kendrick Perkins’ basket with 1:05 left that put the Oklahoma City Thunder ahead to stay in a 107-103 playoff victory against the Denver Nuggets should have been waved off as basket interference.

In a statement issued Monday, the NBA says Perkins touched the basketball while it was still “in the cylinder,” or directly above the basket, in violation of the rules.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL Barnes returning to UNC CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — North Carolina’s Harrison Barnes will return for his sophomore season instead of declaring for the NBA Draft.

Barnes was the Atlantic Coast Conference rookie of the year, averaging nearly 16 points.

The 6-foot-8 forward was widely regarded as the nation’s top freshman entering the season and helped the Tar Heels win 29 games and the ACC regular-season championship before falling a win short of the Final Four.

The Tar Heels will return all five starters and their top seven scorers from last season, making them a favorite to enter the year ranked No. 1.

Wash. State guard entering draft Washington State guard Klay Thompson has announced his intention to enter the NBA Draft, but will hold off on hiring an agent until he’s certain about his draft position.

Thompson was a first-team all-Pac-10 selection after averaging a league-high 22 points per game in his junior season in Pullman. He also had off-court troubles following his arrest in early March after a game on investigation of marijuana possession.

Penn St. G Buie to transfer STATE COLLEGE, PA. — Suspended Penn State guard Taran Buie will transfer following a tumultuous freshman year.

Coach Ed DeChellis announced Monday he had granted Buie a release from his scholarship after a postseason meeting with the player.

OSU forward off to North Texas DENTON, TEXAS — Oklahoma State forward Roger Franklin is transferring to North Texas to be closer to home.

North Texas announced Monday that the 6-foot-5 Franklin, from Duncanville, has signed with the Mean Green.

He played in 56 games the past two seasons for Oklahoma State.

Franklin wants to be closer to home because his father is ill.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL Irish used old weather data SOUTH BEND, IND. — Notre Dame said Monday that football staff responsible for advising whether it was safe to practice outside used out-of-date weather information the day a student videographer fell to his death when the hydraulic lift he was on toppled over in high winds.

Declan Sullivan, a junior film student from Long Grove, Ill., was killed when the 40-foot lift fell over in a 53 mph wind gust on Oct. 27.

The school released the details in a report summarizing its own investigation into the accident. Peter Likins, an engineer and former University of Arizona president who provided an independent review of the investigation, wrote that no one person was to blame for the accident.

BASEBALL Reds RHP charged with shoplifting CINCINNATI — Reds pitcher Mike Leake was arrested on a shoplifting charge at a downtown department store Monday, accused of trying to steal six shirts with a total value of $59.88.

The 23-year-old starter was booked at the Hamilton County Justice Center on a firstdegree misdemeanor charge of shoplifting. It carries a maximum of 180 days in jail.

GEOFFREY MUTAI OF KENYA FLASHES THE THUMBS-UP SIGN after winning the men’s division of the 115th Boston Marathon on Monday in Boston.

Mutai runs fastest marathon; Kilel holds on BOSTON — Kenya’s Geoffrey Mutai ran the fastest 26.2 miles in history to win the Boston Marathon on Monday. Then his claim to a world record was swallowed up by the hills.

Not the inclines of Heartbreak Hill that have doomed so many runners before him.

It was the downhill part of the race that makes his time of 2 hours, 3 minutes, 2 seconds ineligible for an official world record. In short: IAAF rules have deemed the oldest and most prestigious marathon in the world — long considered the one of the most difficult, too — to be too easy.

“You don’t look at world records. You just go,” Mutai said. “If you are strong, you push it.

But if you put it in your head, you can’t make it.”

Mutai outsprinted Moses Mosop down Boylston Street to win by four seconds as the two Kenyans both beat Haile Gebrselassie’s sanctioned world record of 2:03:59. Four men, including third-place finisher Gebregziabher Gebremariam of Ethiopia and American Ryan Hall, broke the course record of 2:05:52 set just last year by Robert Kiprono Cheruiyot.

“These guys obviously showed us what’s possible for the marathon,” said Hall, whose 2:04:58 is the fastest ever run by an American. “I was out there running, and I was thinking to myself, ‘I can’t believe this is happening right now. I’m running a 2:04 pace, and I can’t even see the leaders.’ It was unreal.”

The IAAF must certify a world record, and it is unlikely to approve Mutai’s feat. The international governing body’s Rule 206 requires courses to start and finish near the same point in order to discourage downhill, windaided runs and the artificially fast times they can produce. (Boston has a net decline of 459 feet, though the course is dominated by hills going up and down.)

“We had a stunning performance and an immensely fast time here today,” said Tom Grilk, the head of the Boston Athletic Association, after Mutai ran almost a full minute faster than the sanctioned world record. “We in Boston are well-pleased with what has happened, and that’s good unto itself. The definitions of others, I will leave to them.”

IAAF officials did not immediately respond to emails from the Associated Press seeking comment.

Although the organization’s rules clearly disqualify the Boston course from a world record, it does list Cheruiyot’s time in last year’s race among the best times of 2010.

Joan Benoit’s 2:22:53 was considered a women’s record in 1983, though that was before the IAAF refined its rules.

Mutai will receive a $50,000 bonus for the world best and another $25,000 for the course record to go with the $150,000 he and women’s winner Caroline Kilel earned for the win.

“This gentleman did both things, and we are honored to have played a part in his doing it,” Grilk said.

Kilel won the women’s race to complete the Kenyan sweep, outsprinting American Desiree Davila to win by two seconds in 2:22:36. Davila led as late as the final stretch on Boylston Street and ran the fastest time ever for a U.S. woman, five seconds faster than Benoit, who is now known as Joan Samuelson.

Kara Goucher ran a personal best 2:24:52 to add a fifth-place finish to her third in 2009. No American — man or woman — has won Boston since Lisa Larsen-Weidenbach in 1985.

“We’re knocking on the door,” Hall said. “I mean, 2:08 last year and 2:04 this year ... It’s going to come; it’s just a matter of time.”

KENYAN CAROLINE KILEL REACTS as she hits the tape at the finish line to win the women’s division of the Boston Marathon.

A year after Cheruiyot lowered the course record by more than a minute, almost 27,000 runners lined up in Hopkinton with temperatures in the high 40s and a 21 mph wind at their back — perfect marathoning weather.

Kim Smith, a New Zealander who lives in Providence, took off at a record pace and led the women’s race for more than 20 miles.

The men were more steady, and they were the ones to take down the old mark.

Mutai and Mosop ran side-by-side for the final miles before Mutai pulled ahead for good on Boylston Street. The 19th Kenyan winner in the past 21 years, Mutai raised his arms in the air and grinned.

“When I was coming to Boston, I was not trying to break the world record. But I see the gift from God,” Mutai said. “I’m happy. I don’t have more words to add.”

Cheruiyot, who had been recovering from a car accident in Kenya, finished sixth. Defending women’s champion Teyba Erkesso dropped out before reaching the halfway point.

The women’s pack let Smith go, falling almost a minute behind. But 20 miles in, as she ran down Commonwealth Avenue in Newton toward Heartbreak Hill, she began to stutter-step.

Soon, she had stopped completely to rub her right calf. It was only for a few seconds, but when she resumed she had clearly slowed and the pack was upon her less than a mile later. Among them was Davila.

The American ran with Kenyans Kilel and Sharon Cherop through Chestnut Hill and briefly broke out of her rhythm to wave as the crowd began chanting, “U-S-A!” The three swapped leads down Beacon Street in Brookline, and Davila led even on the final stretch before Kilel outkicked her.

“It was the most excitement I’ve had in a race ever and just really carried me the last six miles,” Davila said. “I felt that energy, and I felt comfortable at the front and pushing the pace because of that. It really just carried me through to the finish line.”

Masazumi Soejima and Wakako Tsuchida gave Japan a sweep of the men’s and women’s wheelchair divisions. It was the fifth straight win for Tsuchida and the second overall for Soejima.

Bulls, Heat up 2-0 The Associated Press

Bulls 96, Pacers 90 C H I C A G O — Derrick Rose scored 36 points, Carlos Boozer added 17 points and 16 rebounds, and the top-seeded Bulls pulled out another dramatic victory over Indiana in Game 2 of their first-round playoff series.

Rose scored eight points over the final four minutes.

Kyle Korver nailed another big three-pointer to make it 90-85 with just over a minute left after hitting the tiebreaker in the opener.

A.J. Price hit three free throws with 23.4 seconds left after being fouled by Rose to cut the lead to 90-88. Luol Deng quickly answered with two of his own to make it a four-point game. Ronnie Brewer added two more after a missed three by Mike Dunleavy, and Chicago, which made its last 16 free throws, hung on to go up 2-0.

It hasn’t been easy for the Bulls after they stormed through the regular season with a league-best 62-20 record.

The Pacers hung in even though they lost point guard Darren Collison to a sprained left ankle late in the first half.

Lions’ Logan Henrichs takes eighth J-W Staff Reports

MISSION HILLS — Lawrence High golfer Logan Henrichs recorded a 78 to medal and finish eighth on Tuesday at the Shawnee Mission East Invitational at Kansas City Country Club, the first leg of

Pick CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B

said. “I think I’ve caught on pretty quick, but I still need improvement in my route running. I think it’s been a pretty smooth transition. In the back yard growing up and stuff, we’d always play around, and I was used to catching the ball.”

So, what routes has the former quarterback specialized in this spring?

“Basically all of them,” he said. “A lot of streaks down the middle and down the hash marks, and then I’ve got digs and corners and the short stuff, too.”

Which one has been the hardest to pick up?

“I really don’t have a hardest right now,” he said. “I’ll have to think about that.”

Pick credits some of his early success at the new position to an old friend, wide receivers coach David Beaty.

Beaty was with the Jayhawks

the Sunflower League Invitational.

Free State finished eighth with a 357, and Lawrence High took ninth with a 363.

Lee York, who tied for 36th, led the Firebirds with an 87.

Following York were Alex Green (88), Colin Becker (89),

Jake Sakumura (93), Nick Allen (94) and Nick Hay (100).

The Lions’ other golfers were Jessie Ohtake (89), Connor Henrichs (94), Devon Weber (102), Brett Van Blaricum (107) and Robbie Andrews ((114).

when Pick was recruited to KU and returned this offseason after a one-year stint at Rice. The fact that Beaty was one of the guys who helped turn Meier into an NFL Draft pick at wide receiver has not slipped Pick’s mind.

“He’s a great coach, real smart guy, and he’s helping me a lot,” Pick said of KU’s receivers coach. “I’m glad he’s back.”

It’s funny, but that’s kind of the feeling teammates have about Pick, who many thought might explore a transfer in the offseason.

“The coaches are just trying to put guys in the right positions to make the biggest effect on the team,” sophomore QB Jordan Webb said.

“In Kale’s case, he’s definitely going to excel at receiver. He’s fast. He runs good routes, and he’s going to block, too. I’ve had a lot of fun throwing at him.”

Instead of worrying about finding a new place to play, Pick said he spent the offseason bulking up in order to be

ready for his new role. He emphasized his upper body in the weight room and is hoping to add 10 pounds to his 6-foot-1 frame in order to reach a playing weight in the 215-218 range. That, he said, would allow him to be a more punishing blocker while also making him a bigger target for the KU quarterbacks. Pick admitted that every once in a while, he caught himself looking over at the guys in the red jerseys and thinking back to his days as a quarterback. Does he miss it?

“A little bit, yeah, I do,” he said. “But I started to like receiver quite a bit this winter.

I got a lot of reps, and I’ve got timing and chemistry with (Webb and Quinn Mecham).

I’m starting to like receiver a lot more than I expected.”

Pick and the Jayhawks return to the practice field Wednesday afternoon for the 11th practice of the spring.

Spring ball wraps on April 30 with the annual spring game at 1 p.m.

Indians take opener

By Doug Tucker Associated Press Sports Writer

KANSAS CITY, MO. — Round one in the showdown between unlikely AL Central leaders went to Cleveland.

Pinch-hitter Shelley Duncan’s RBI double sparked a four-run 10th inning, and the Indians beat Kansas City, 7-3, on Monday night to widen their division lead to two games over the equally surprising Royals.

Duncan batted for Travis Buck after Carlos Santana drew a walk from rookie lefthander Tim Collins (1-1) to start the 10th. Duncan hooked

an RBI double into the leftfield corner, driving home the tiebreaking run in INDIANS Cleveland’s fourth AT ROYALS straight When: 7:10 tonight win.

ans, Grady Sizemore, in his second game back from knee surgery, added an RBI single and was 3-for-5 after going 2for-4 on Sunday in his first game since May 16, 2010.

“The reason I came over here was to enjoy this guy from the dugout after seeing him over the last seven-eight years,” Acta said. “It’s nice to have him back.”

Collins, one of three rookie relievers who have played a big part in Kansas City’s strong start, gave up four hits and four runs in one inning.

“Real bad,” he said. “It’s always a rough night when you go out and give up four runs.”

53 Dundee brush-off

Mental illnesses shouldn’t drive family away Annie’s Mailbox

Dear Annie: This is for “Proud Parent,” the single dad who shares his bathroom with his teenage son.

Before everyone lived in houses with multiple bedrooms and baths, people shared a single bathroom.

And families got ready in the morning by sharing that one bathroom.

His family is incredibly narrow-minded and misinformed if they think he can anniesmailbox@comcast.net make his son gay. They need my children about their something else to discuss at grandmother? Living with her family get-togethers. Better was traumatic when I was a child, and I don’t want my children exposed to her. It terrifies me. Any advice? — No Signature

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell

If television were an arbiter of reality, half the people on earth would be preparing for their wedding and the other half would be wondering what to wear for the big occasion. “Dresscue Me” (9:30 p.m., Planet Green) becomes the latest installment in the frantic wedding-dress genre. It celebrates Shareen Mitchell, a Los Angeles dress designer who discovers castoff frocks at local Salvation Army outlets and recycles the fabric into fancy and expensive outfits for the likes of Katie Holmes, Katy Perry, Cat Deeley and other droppable names.

If this were the sum of her efforts, you would say more power to her and change the channel, but like a lot of basic-cable fare, “Dresscue Me” elevates mere shopping to a life-anddeath struggle worthy of spectacular planning and preparation.

It’s also shot through with brittle histrionics.

Women scream at their assistants like the Great Santini berating his son. And what the heck is this doing on Planet Green? ● Shows not dedicated to wedding preparation and shopping seem to be set in Alaska. Even the serious ones. Tonight’s “Frontline” (8 p.m., PBS, check local listings) examines a little-known chapter of the ongoing scandal in the Roman Catholic church, a pattern of abuse of Native Americans in Alaska by the clergy and church workers during the 1960s and 1970s. ● Imagine a ravenous rampaging infestation of enormous creatures — some up to 700 pounds — bent on destroying farms and property. Imagine 6 million of them.

Are we talking about a science-fiction movie? Or America’s feral boar crisis?

“Hogs Gone Wild” (9 p.m., Discovery) returns for a second season, documenting efforts to eradicate and control this aggressive menace. We’re told that just two fertile hogs can result in thousands of not-so-little piggies over time. Apparently, they breed like rabbits. Do they taste like chicken?

Universal Crossword

Tonight’s other highlights ● Henry Louis Gates hosts “Black in Latin America” (7 p.m., PBS, check local listings), a nuanced look at complex race relations in the Hispanic new world. ● The gang puts the f-u-n in fundraising on “Glee” (7 p.m., Fox). ● Jamie advocates for healthy diets on “Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution” (7 p.m., ABC). ● The clock is ticking in a kidnapping case on “NCIS: Los Angeles” (8 p.m., CBS). ● “Destination Truth” (8 p.m., Syfy) examines stories of a haunting at an abandoned base in Antarctica. ● Cupid’s arrow strikes Maw-Maw on “Raising Hope” (8 p.m., Fox). Jerry Van Dyke guest stars. ● A masseuse makes a wrong move on “Traffic Light” (8 p.m., Fox). ● Someone gets the hook on “Dancing with the Stars” (8 p.m., ABC). ● An ethics charge imperils Alicia’s career on “The Good Wife” (9 p.m., CBS). ● Amber’s accident raises eyebrows on “Parenthood” (9 p.m., NBC). ● A twin expires on “Body of Proof” (9 p.m., ABC). ● “Independent Lens” (9 p.m., PBS, check local listings) presents “Wasteland,” documenting the world’s largest garbage dump, located in Brazil. ● “Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel” (9 p.m., HBO) profiles Jimmy Rollins.

allowing greater give-andtake, especially in a meeting and/or around friends.

Tonight: The later it gets, the more you enjoy yourself.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ★★★★★ Your imagination cannot be stomped out, yet you might choose to be a little more discreet in revealing your ideas.

Tonight: Plug some of this creativity into your love life.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ You still could be acting like a tortoise. By midafternoon, you start perking up, acting and thinking more like yourself.

Tonight: Still play it low-key (if you can!).

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Keep talking until you come to an agreement. As you think through an idea, you might want to play devil's advocate — even for yourself! Tonight: Hang out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Defer to others, especially concerning a financial matter. This action allows key associates to reveal their thoughts, and perhaps take more responsibility.

Tonight: Your treat.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ Work with an associate who can be sar-

castic and insightful. This person can be difficult, but not if he or she knows you value his or her thoughts.

Tonight: Go full steam ahead.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21) ★★★ Know that you are on the verge of turning an important corner. With this knowledge, you might want to finish up some research or a project. Tonight: Nap if you want.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ In a meeting, say what you need to say in order to help others understand your goal, drive and decision. Tonight: A little socializing infuses the spirit.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ A must appearance and a willingness to take the lead are important. Discussions add a lot of dimension to a project.

Tonight: Could go till the wee hours.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★★ You have the ability to sleuth out a solution. Drawing in many different ideas and finding experts are instrumental in today's success. Tonight: Check out a workshop.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS For Tuesday, April 19: This year, you see many options through your associates and a key partner.

You know when enough is enough and when a change is necessary. If you are single, you express a willingness to relate on a one-on-one level. A very interesting suitor appears on the horizon. If you are attached, learn to detach.

Your sweetie needs to be dominant. Scorpio understands you well.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You'll Have: 5Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ Let an associate or loved one state his or her case. This person has a strong verbal style.

You could make mincemeat of his or her idea, if you so choose. Tonight: Enjoying a special friendship.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Others strut right in with their ideas, assuming you will go along with them. You might normally, but you have other grievances going on.

Tonight: Have an important discussion.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ★★★ You still might be in work mode. Your sense of humor emerges,

Dear No: When you were a child, you didn’t understand your mother’s illness, so naturally, it frightened you. You are more aware now and can explain it to your children so they can be sympathetic from a safe distance. You should never leave them alone with her, but they can certainly see their grandmother in short, supervised visits, with whatever restrictions you deem necessary for their emotional health. Contact NAMI (nami.org) at 1800-950-NAMI (1-800-9506264) for suggestions and assistance.

Dear Annie: My mother is bipolar with schizophrenic tendencies. My childhood was difficult. Days consisted of her drinking, gambling, being promiscuous and inviting homeless people to live with us. Mom would have conversations with herself for hours and roam the yard naked. She tore down walls and did things that made no sense, like gathering twigs to make gifts for people.

Mom’s condition has gotten worse over the years, and she can become physically violent. She is frequently taken by the police to the mental hospital, where doctors force her to take her meds. She then returns to normal society until she has another “spell.” This has gone on my entire life.

None of the family has the heart to put her in a permanent facility, because she still has moments of normalcy. As soon as I turned 18, I ran 2,000 miles away because I could no longer handle being around her. The family nearby continues to suffer tremendously, including my sister, who recently had a miscarriage. No doubt the stress was a factor.

I have a toddler and another child on the way. The last time Mom came out to visit, she completely lost it. She took off and was later found living by a river. What do I tell
