BALDWIN CITY POLICE OFFICER CALEB LEWIS questions Meghan Smith, a volunteer with Specialized Emergency Response Training (SERT) who was playing the part of a witness, Wednesday in the parking lot outside Corbin Hall on the Kansas University campus. Smith’s character was handcuffed during the moments when her involvement with the simulated shooting at Corbin was unclear. The training exercise was meant to better prepare officers for a real-life crisis situation.

Area police officers and medics took part in a nightmare scenario Wednesday on the Kansas University campus.

As part of the public safety exercise, two shooters had wounded people outside Corbin Hall, a residence hall for

women. Three officers were wounded inside.

One suspect took hostages inside a room.

More KU police and Douglas County Sheriff’s officers rushed inside armed with rifles.

“Obviously, we hope that nothing like this ever occurs at KU,” KU Police Chief Ralph Oliver said. “But it is my job to make sure that we are prepared and ready.”

It was an annual drill, although more involved than earlier ones, as Oliver said it required coordination among every law enforcement agency in the county, Douglas County Emergency Management and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical.

KU spokesman Gavin Young said the exercise also allowed the university to test its alert system, which allows KU

to send text and other messages to the campus in the event of a crisis or emergency.

“There’s value in practicing for any situation whether it includes an active shooter or whether it includes a hostage situation,” Young said.

Oliver said the scenario raised stress levels for the officers.

TOPEKA — Plenty of Kansas legislators’ fingerprints are on the aggressive income tax cuts signed into law this week by conservative Republican Gov. Sam Brownback, including those of some GOP moderates now describing it as a budget crisis in the making.

But Brownback now owns the legislation, even though Brownback it strayed significantly from the tax plan he outlined in January and he and his allies sought less aggressive alternatives in the legislative session’s final days. He not only signed the bill, but he pushed for the debate making it possible and ultimately embraced what passed.

He’s likely to get most of the blame if critics turn out to be right that the state will need close massive budget shortfalls over the next six years. Conversely, he’ll deserve most of the credit if the plan works as intended by giving the state economy a job-generating boost.

Registry to keep track of wrongful convictions

By Shaun Hittle sdhittle@ljworld.com

A new database created by academic researchers seeks to identify cases of wrongful convictions across the country and includes three Kansas cases.

The National Registry of Exonerations, created by researchers at University of Michigan Law School and the Center for Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University, chronicles more than 2,000 people falsely convicted of serious crimes in the United States in the past 23 years.

The Kansas cases have all been highlighted in JournalWorld features over the past several years and include:

Eddie Lowery: Convicted Lowery in 1981 of rape in Riley County after falsely confessing. Exonerated

by DNA evidence in 2001, Lowery settled a civil suit with Riley County in 2010 for $7.5 million.

Joe Jones: Convicted in 1985 in Shawnee County for the

Ellison

rape and kidnapping of a Topeka woman based on erroneous eyewitness identification. Jones was exonerated in 1992 by DNA evidence, and was just the seventh DNA exoneration in the country at the time.

Jason Ellison: Convicted in 2006 of sexually assaulting an ex-girlfriend’s relative. Ellison’s lawyers produced evidence that the allegations may have been fabricated, and the conviction was overturned in 2011. The Douglas County District Attorney’s Office did not refile charges in the case.

There is no official recordkeeping system for wrongful convictions or exonerations in the country, and the new registry represents the current estimate of such cases.

BOB WANDEL treats fourth-graders in Jennifer Walters’ class to a history lesson on the Civil War Wednesday at Deerfield School.

A few days before Memorial Day, Bob Wandel stood before a group of fourth-graders at Deerfield School and shared just why Civil War soldiers should be remembered.

“Being a Civil War solider wasn’t easy. It was a tough, tough life,” Wandel said.

Dressed in the Union Army’s wool uniform, Wandel had a tin cup

“Not everyone had a toothbrush.

Sometimes there was just one toothbrush in the family,” Wandel said.

Training CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

At one point a man in a green shirt fired blanks from a handgun at two officers just outside Corbin, 420 W. 11th St. Oliver said the “shooters” were officers from outside agencies.

“Even though they know it’s a simulation, they know that in a real situation they will be required to perform in a manner that they’ve been trained to do,” Oliver said.

“It allows them to see how they perform. It allows us to see how they perform.”

The exercise lasted for several hours, and some circumstances did not match the real thing, he said. There wasn’t the noise of sirens and other commotion that would come. Also, the residence hall was empty so no students came running or screaming from the building.

Things also happened slower than they would in a real situation, he said. At least two people who were “shot” outside Corbin lied on the sidewalk for sev-

eral minutes before it was determined the area was safe and secure for medics to arrive.

Oliver said the scenario is valuable for supervisors as they seek to smoothly coordinate with one another and review strengths and weaknesses of the response.

Other than KU public safety officers, agencies participating included sheriff’s officers, police officers with Lawrence, Eudora and Baldwin City and Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical.

As they prepare to respond to dangerous situations, university officials seek to learn lessons from past events, like the 2007 Virginia Tech massacre in which a gunman shot and killed 32 people on campus.

“With Virginia Tech there have been numerous reports and papers written on how they responded and how universities should be looking at what we should have in place should something like this occur,” Oliver said.

Analysis CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1A

In signing the bill, Brownback invoked President Ronald Reagan, and his administration paid for advice from Arthur Laffer, a conservative economist and former Reagan adviser. Laffer came to the Statehouse in January, and many Republican conservatives already were converts to his position that states should eliminate income taxes to spur growth. The environment nurtured aggressive tax plans and dreams of ending state income taxes.

“The idea was, the faster to zero, the better,” said Rep. Anthony Brown, a conservative Eudora Republican.

The bill Brownback signed is a long way from zero, but it cuts individual income tax rates significantly for 2013 and exempts the owners of 191,000 businesses from income taxes.

Coupled with a previously scheduled sales tax decrease, the income tax reductions will provide $231 million in tax relief during the fiscal year beginning July 1, with the annual figure growing to $934 million after six years.

The Legislature’s research staff projected a budget shortfall would emerge by July 2014 and, if left unchecked, grow to $2.5 billion by July 2018.

Because the state constitution prohibits a deficit, spending cuts would

It was a concept that drew lots of “eeews” from the group of about 75 students.

Each year, fourth-graders study different regions of the country. To tie the North and Southeast regions together, the class learns about the Civil War, said teacher Jennifer Walters, who is Wandel’s daughter.

In full costume and white beard, Wandel helped bring the war to life.

On Wednesday, he showed students the markings on his blue Union cap that indicated he was part of the cannon crew. He explained that the heavy wool uniforms were hot but necessary because they didn’t catch on fire as easily as other materials.

Soldiers slept in tents and on the ground with just a blanket for comfort, he shared. And, in the spring, the soldiers marched in mud, carrying along pounds of muck as they went. They would get just one pair of shoes a year, which often came apart from use.

“They marched long and hard. There were hours of marching,” he said.

Wandel is part of the reenactor group who make up the 3rd Kansas Light Artillery, and he has traveled to the battlegrounds of Gettysburg, Shiloh, Lexington and Wilson’s Creek.

“I enjoy the kids and enjoy talking about the Civil War and encouraging them to get into history,” Wandel said.

Wandel noted that local residents could honor Civil War soldiers on Memorial Day because several veterans from the war 150 years ago are buried in Lawrence’s Oak Hill Cemetery.

works to exonerate the wrongfully convicted through DNA evidence, chronicles cases of wrongful convictions, but only those overturned through DNA evidence. The new exoneration registry includes cases, like Ellison’s, that were overturned because of other forms of faulty evidence, such as fabricated statements or erroneous eyewitness testimony.

Analysis of the registry also found:

come in each of the next six years, with lawmakers going deeper into funding for public schools, social services and other programs.

But Brownback’s administration has treated the projections as a political problem rather than a solid forecast of what the state faces. He and top aides have repeatedly described the legislative researchers’ analysis as “static,” predicting steady 4 percent growth in revenues, outside of the tax cuts. The administration thinks such a forecast is too pessimistic.

Their views led to mixed messages during the final two weeks of the Legislature’s session, when the aggressive tax cuts passed but Brownback encouraged lawmakers to keep working on alternatives. He signaled early that he wasn’t afraid to sign big tax cuts, though he preferred to phase them in what he called “an easier glide path.”

Two days before the bill for aggressive tax cuts cleared the Legislature, Brownback told The Associated Press, “We’ve been reviewing it, and we think we can make it work.”

The Senate’s moderate GOP leaders described the bill Brownback signed as irresponsible, but it passed their chamber first in March.

It emerged because GOP senators wouldn’t back off the core components of Brownback’s plan, cutting individual income tax rates and the tax break for business owners.

OTHER CONTACTS posals from Brownback to offset those cuts, such as eliminating an income tax credit for poor workers or keeping the sales tax at 6.3 percent instead of dropping it to 5.7 percent as planned in July 2013.

The Senate initially rejected the bill on a 20-20 vote. But after Brownback intervened, the chamber reversed course two hours later and approved it. GOP moderates said they wanted to keep tax legislation moving and had assurances the final package would be far different.

Democrats warned that GOP moderates were being set up.

Two weeks ago, when the Senate appeared ready to reject a compromise drafted by House and Senate negotiators, the conservative-led House passed the aggressive tax cuts, sending them to Brownback.

Conservatives said they were pushing the Senate toward passing the negotiators’ compromise, and Brownback helped his allies build pressure by promising repeatedly to sign the bill.

“The governor has gotten his way on the tax discussion,” said House Minority Leader Paul Davis, a Lawrence Democrat.

“He has choreographed this tax debate clear to the end.”

The bill Brownback signed isn’t exactly what he proposed. But just as every child inherits physical and personality traits from parents and even grandparents, this legislative baby is the governor’s.

Officer rescues driver after 5-car crash on 6th St.

By George Diepenbrock gdiepenbrock@ljworld.com

ONLINE: See the video at LJWorld.com

A Lawrence police officer pulled an injured 77-year-old man from a five-vehicle crash Wednesday afternoon near Sixth Street and Kasold Drive and began performing CPR on him before medics arrived.

Officer Charlie Stewart was first on the scene of the chain reaction crash about 2:30 p.m. and began assisting the driver of a Cadillac that crashed into vehicles that were stopped at a light in the westbound lanes of Sixth Street, said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman.

The injured man had no pulse and was not breath-

ing when Stewart performed CPR for several minutes. Once medics arrived, the man, who police did not identify Wednesday, was taken by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and was later transferred to a Kansas City area hospital in serious condition, McKinley said.

“At this point, preliminary investigation indicates that the driver of the Cadillac had a medical issue while he was driving and struck the other vehicles,” McKinley said.

The Cadillac struck the back of a pickup truck, and it caused a chain reaction that involved three other vehicles in front of the pickup truck, including a city vehicle.

Another driver was also taken by ambulance from

the scene with less serious injuries.

Martin Villagran of Topeka was driving in front of the crash and was the last one struck. He said the four vehicles that were hit as part of the chain reaction were all stopped waiting for a red light when the accident occurred.

“It surprised me,” Villagran said. “Hopefully the guy will be all right.”

The crash caused major traffic issues into the rush hour as the city advised drivers to avoid the westbound lanes of Sixth Street in the area. A police mapping team for several hours investigated the crash in the far right westbound lanes east of Kasold Drive.

LAWRENCE HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH TEACHER MIKE CARRIGER, left, and Lawrence schools Superintendent Rick Doll hold a check for $10,000 that Carriger won Wednesday as part of the Bobs’ Award, which is given to one outstanding teacher in the district every year. The name of the award derives from the fact that the anonymous people who fund it are all named Bob.

Teacher $10,000 richer, thanks to guys named Bob

By Christine Metz cmetz@ljworld.com

Lawrence High School English teacher Michael Carriger could handle the recognition that comes with being this year’s Bobs’ Award winner. But, it was the $10,000 check that left him slightly speechless.

On Wednesday afternoon as LHS staff celebrated the end of the school year and retirements, members of the Lawrence Schools Foundation and district officials presented Carriger with the Bobs’ Award.

“The money is a bit unreal,” Carriger said. “I don’t have words for the monetary part.”

Funded by an anonymous group of civic leaders with the name Bob and their families and managed through the Lawrence Schools Foundation,

the Bobs’ Award is given to one outstanding teacher every year. Along with the recognition comes a $10,000 check, which recipients can spend however they choose.

“I want to thank the foundation and I guess men named Bob and their families,” Carriger said after receiving a standing ovation from his colleagues.

School officials said Carriger has helped improve reading test scores by working on individual student and department levels. He also helps boost graduation rates by teaching at winter night school and summer school.

Carriger has taught at LHS since 2001. Before that, he spent a year at West Junior High School and five years in Lyndon.

Fellow LHS English teacher Bill Patterson described

Carriger’s style as traditional and commanding.

“As a person, he has devoured knowledge and has been able to give that to students in unique ways,” Patterson said.

English teacher Shannon Draper said Carriger is someone who listens to students and teachers and always has the “big picture in mind.”

“As outstanding of an educator as he is, he is that outstanding as a human being,” Draper said.

Wednesday’s award was a bit of shock to Carriger, who thanked the district for “letting teachers teach.”

“This is humbling,” he said. “It’s also embarrassing. It almost implies this is a solitary effort. And anyone who has taught knows it isn’t.”

KU Hospital acquires surgical building in Overland Park

By Andy Hyland ahyland@ljworld.com

Kansas University Hospital has acquired a 42,000-square-foot inpatient surgical hospital building to add to its system of services.

The building, 10720 Nall Ave., Overland Park, is near the intersection of Interstate 435 and Nall and now houses Heartland Surgical Specialty Hospital.

The two-story building has seven operating rooms and 19 inpatient beds, and has diagnostic imaging equipment.

“With the double-digit

growth in our number of surgeries and more growth on the way, KANSAS it is important to UNIVERSITY have the space our staff needs to continue to provide quality care for our patients,” said Bob Page, KU Hospital president and CEO, in a written statement.

KU Hospital intends to use the building for surgery by a variety of specialties. A new name for the building will be an-

nounced later, along with the specialities using the new space.

The hospital plans to hire the facility’s more than 130 nonphysician employees, Page said in the statement.

KU Hospital did not disclose the cost of the transaction, which is expected to close in the early summer. The Heartland Surgical Specialty Hospital plans to relocate its operations to a new location, according to the KU Hospital release.

Problems with vehicle registrations resolved

By John Milburn Associated Press

TOPEKA — Problems with a new computer system that delayed Kansas vehicle and title registrations have been resolved, Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan said Wednesday.

Kansas is implementing a new system that will merge vehicle registrations and titles and eventually link to driver’s license records. Jordan said the issues that caused the system to bog down Monday and Tuesday were related to routine maintenance performed Sunday night.

The Division of Vehicles worked with 3M, supplier of the new $40 million system, to fix the problems and restore service.

“Today, it’s working right,” Jordan said Wednesday. “Something failed on the maintenance.

The next morning it started tripping up and having problems.”

Problems with the system caused delays and led to long lines and the closing of vehicle registration stations. Jordan said residents still could experience lines as the agency works through the backlog and more people

“

We understand it’s been very frustrating. We hope it starts (returning to normal) today.”

— Revenue Secretary Nick Jordan rush to complete registrations before the end of the month.

“We understand it’s been very frustrating,” the revenue secretary said.

“We hope it starts (returning to normal) today.”

The Shawnee County treasurer’s office stopped taking new customers by 11 a.m. Wednesday after handing out 300 slips for people to stand in line.

Jordan said the number of registrations and titles being processed has grown steadily with the new system and more residents visiting offices. In some cases, county treasurers in smaller counties are helping larger counties that have larger workloads with processing.

The Division of Vehicles is urging residents to register their vehicles online to avoid delays.

The agency also is granting extensions for registration renewals.

Those residents whose

vehicle tags expired at the end of April will now have through the end of May. Those expiring in May have through the end of June to renew.

Christie McKaig thought she could get her driver’s license renewed in an hour Tuesday in Wichita but found the wait to be much longer.

She received text messages from the county driver’s license office throughout the day, updating her with her status in line. The text message system is a relatively new service that allows people to leave but keep their place in line.

McKaig’s first text message came at 11:18 a.m., saying her wait would be 127 minutes. Updates continued for three hours until McKaig got a text shortly before 3 p.m. telling her the wait would be 14 more minutes.

“I don’t think I’ve ever waited longer than an hour before,” McKaig told the Wichita Eagle. She said she ran errands with her daughter, ate lunch and sat in her car during the long wait.

“I think the solution is to have more than one (driver’s license station) for 350,000 people,” she told the newspaper.

Shrine Rodeo in Tonganoxie is out of the chute tonight

By Shawn Linenberger slinenberger@theworldco.info

It’s almost rodeo time in Tonganoxie.

The 53rd annual Abdallah Shrine Rodeo returns to the Leavenworth County Fairgrounds for the fifth consecutive year starting today, but this year, there’s a new attraction at the Memorial Day weekend event.

A demolition derby will take place Saturday at the fairgrounds. The rodeo starts at 7 p.m. tonight and Friday, and the demolition derby also begins at 7 p.m.

The Kansas City country band Robe also will perform after the demolition derby.

It’s a new offering for

the Shriners, who are best known for organizing rodeos and circuses.

“We decided to expand our offering and try to appeal to another bunch of people,” said Nick Turner, chairman of the weekend’s activities and 2011 Potenate.

A craft fair also will take place, and vendors will be on the grounds starting at 6 p.m. each night.

Whatever the fans come to see, Shriners say they have to make a good impression.

“We enjoy putting on an event that is high quality and affordable for families,” Turner said. “It’s something we’ve been doing for five decades-plus, and this year is no different.

“We like working with the community.”

Competitions slated for the rodeo are team roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, bareback riding, barrel racing and bull riding.

Man breaks into WIBW-TV station, stabs 2 workers TOPEKA (AP) — A man wielding a knife broke into a Kansas television station Wednesday morning and stabbed two sales employees.

WIBW-TV in Topeka reported the man eventually was tackled and held down by several employees until police arrived.

While restrained, the man threatened to kill the staff and bit at least one worker.

The suspect and two people who were stabbed were taken to a hospital for treatment. None of their injuries were considered serious.

Topeka police Capt.

Brian Desch said in a news release that the 48-year-old homeless man was booked into jail on suspicion of six counts, including aggravated battery and burglary.

The station reported that the melee started after the man spoke to news director Jon Janes on a lobby phone, saying the Department of Veterans Affairs was mishandling his case. When Janes explained that the man needed to discuss the issue with the VA, the man left the building.

He returned about 10 minutes later and threw

a lamp through the glass front doors, Janes said.

Janes told the receptionist to tell other employees to leave the front office area. The station said some employees left as the man ran through the halls.

Janes said he also spoke to the man on March 22, when he came to the station to see about having a story done on how he felt the VA was mistreating him. Janes also sent him away then.

Messages left at the station from The Associated Press weren’t immediately returned.

KU grad’s death ruled accidental AUGUSTA, MAINE (AP) — The Maine medical examiner’s office says a Harvard Business School student’s death was an accidental drowning.

Nathan Bihlmaier of Cambridge, Mass., went missing early Sunday after he was told to leave a waterfront bar for being visibly intoxicated. The 31-yearold’s body was recovered from Portland Harbor by divers Tuesday, and the autopsy was conducted Wednesday in Augusta.

Bihlmaier was last seen when he was asked to leave the Ri Ra Irish Pub where he was celebrating his upcoming graduation with two friends.

Bihlmaier, who was married and whose wife is expecting their first child, was scheduled to graduate from Harvard Business School today.

He was a native of Osborne, Kan., and a Kansas University graduate.

Democrats want to keep Kansas A.G. out of remap case

By John Hanna Associated Press

TOPEKA — Two Kansas Democrats want the state’s Republican attorney general to stay out of a federal court case over the Legislature’s failure to redraw political boundaries.

A spokesman for Attorney General Derek Schmidt s a i d Wednesday that his office is “puzzled” by opposition to Schmidt’s Schmidt participation in the federal lawsuit, because his goal is to see that attorneys involved in the case don’t seek to have the state pay unreasonable legal fees. But one of the Democrats, state House Minority Leader Paul Davis, of Lawrence, questioned whether Schmidt’s participation was necessary.

Legislators were supposed to redraw political boundaries this year to account for population shifts over the past decade, but they failed to pass any new maps before adjourning their annual session Sunday. Three judges hearing the federal lawsuit will impose new lines for congressional, state House, state Senate and State Board of Education districts. A trial is set to begin Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Kansas City, Kan. Davis noted that Secretary of State Kris Kobach, another Republican and the state’s chief elections officer, is the defendant in the lawsuit, filed earlier this month by a GOP precinct committee woman from Olathe.

“The court is going to deal with the fee issue in time, and I’m not sure the attorney general’s participation in that is going to be of assistance,” Davis

ON THE RECORD REPORT

Nathan Payne, carpenter, St. Louis “We’re visiting Lawrence all this week.”

• Kansas University police forwarded information to Douglas County prosecutors Tuesday after a student on Twitter made an alleged threat to blow up a parking lot.

Elizabeth Phillips, assistant director of the KU Public Safety Office, said that officers were able to identify the person and that prosecutors will make a decision about whether to file formal charges. According to a KU police report, the KU parking services department contacted police about 10:38 a.m. Tuesday.

• Douglas County prosecutors Wednesday charged a 26-year-old Lawrence man with aggravated child endangerment after he was accused of driving a motorized cycle on the sidewalk of the Kansas River bridge Tuesday evening with a 6-year-old child standing on the center platform and not wearing a helmet.

“The officer indicated the vehicle was operated in a manner which posed a risk of the child falling from the vehicle near the railing of the bridge,” said Sgt. Trent McKinley, a Lawrence police spokesman.

The man, Darin Robert Curtiss, was initially cited and told he could not continue operating the vehicle, but he was later arrested when he was seen driving it again with the child in the same place a short time later on a nearby street. A judge set Curtiss’ bond at $2,500 on Tuesday on the felony charge and scheduled

told The Associated Press.

Joining Davis in his objection was former state Rep. Bill Roy Jr., of Lenexa.

The three judges scheduled a telephone conference call for today on the issue. They’ve said they intend to permit 26 other individuals to participate, including Davis and Roy, allowing their attorneys to present evidence and submit redistricting proposals.

Kobach had expressed concern that the trial could drag out, but the judges have set aside only two days. Presiding U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil said in a pretrial order that the judges would dispense with opening arguments and “not permit redundant presentations.”

Federal court records on Wednesday listed 33 attorneys representing parties or potential parties in the case, including Schmidt. Kobach said if his office was going to review every attorney’s demand for legal fees, it will need the attorney general’s help.

As for the Democrats, Schmidt spokesman Jeff Wagaman said, “We are puzzled why they would not want the state treasury protected in this action.”

Davis, an attorney, noted that in a 2002 federal lawsuit over Kansas congressional districts, three judges refused to allow then-Attorney General Carla Stovall, also a Republican, to participate, setting a legal precedent.

“We do need to make sure we’re playing by the rules,” Davis said.

But Kobach said Stovall wanted to join other parties suing the secretary of state and to submit her own congressional redistricting proposal, while Schmidt wants to be listed as a defendant and protect the fund the his office administers to pay costs from court cases.

“It changes everything,” Kobach said.

McKinley said Teodomiro Mendoza Rea at 7:50 a.m. was headed west on 12th Street when he failed to stop in a 1998 gray Jeep Grand Cherokee at a stop sign and struck a southbound 2003 Ford sport utility vehicle.

The crash caused the SUV to strike a southbound pickup truck as well.

The SUV’s driver identified as Tiffany Tully, 27, of Lawrence, complained of head and neck pain. No other injuries were reported.

Division Chief Eve Tolefree, a Lawrence-Douglas County Fire Medical spokeswoman, said one person was taken to the hospital.

McKinley said Rea was ticketed for a stop-sign violation and for not having a valid driver’s license.

Obama, Dems redouble fundraising efforts

By Ken Thomas Associated Press

ATHERTON, CALIF. — His cash advantage threatened, President Barack Obama and his party are redoubling their fundraising efforts after robust hauls by Republican rival Mitt Romney and a slew of GOP-leaning super PACs that are raking in cash from the party faithful highly motivated to topple the Democrat.

Obama still has a significant edge, but it’s shrinking rapidly.

That explains why the president, fresh off of backto-back international summits, plunged back into his re-election race Wednesday with a series of fundraising events in Denver and California’s Silicon Valley. The president was looking to stockpile cash to pay for his coast-to-coast organization, advertising to spread his message and get-out-the-vote operations in key states.

“We’re going to have to contend with even more negative ads, even more cynicism and nastiness and just plain foolishness,” Obama said in Denver.

“But the outcome of the election is ultimately going to depend upon all of you.”

A woman shouted, “We’ll just have to work harder.”

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA SPEAKS at a news conference Monday in Chicago. Obama and his party are redoubling their fundraising efforts in the wake of robust hauls by rival Mitt Romney and a slew of GOP-leaning super PACs that are raking in cash from Republicans highly motivated to topple the Democrat.

It’s the start of an extensive money push by Obama in the coming weeks that will feature a series of highend fundraisers, including New York events with former President Bill Clinton and actress Sarah Jessica Parker and a Los Angeles trip to raise money among gay and lesbian supporters.

Smaller-dollar pushes also are under way.

Obama, a record-shattering fundraiser four years ago, has a built-in fundraising advantage as the incumbent and still has a wide money lead

SECRET SERVICE

Licking their chops

Inquiry hears of more bad behavior WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators investigating the Secret Service prostitution scandal said Wednesday that dozens of reported episodes of misconduct by agents point to a culture of carousing in the agency and urged Director Mark Sullivan to get past his insistence that the romp in Cartagena was a one-time mistake.

The disconnect between the senators and Sullivan reappeared again and again throughout the two-hour hearing, even as the Secret Service chief for the first time apologized for the incident that tarnished the elite presidential protection force. By the end, Sullivan’s job appeared secure even as new details emerged that left little doubt, senators said, that a pattern of sexual misbehavior had taken root in the agency.

“He kept saying over and over again that he basically does think this was an isolated incident, and I don’t think he has any basis for that conclusion,” said Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, the senior Republican on the Homeland Security panel that heard Sullivan’s first public accounting of the episode.

“For the good of the Secret Service,” added Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, the panel chairman, “he’s got to assume that what happened in Cartagena was not an isolated incident or else it will happen again.” Still, Sullivan insisted repeatedly that in his 29-year Secret Service career he had never heard anyone say that misconduct was condoned, implicitly or otherwise.

“I just do not think that this is something that is systemic within this organization,” Sullivan said.

The misconduct became public after a dispute over payment between a Secret Service agent and a prostitute at a Cartagena hotel on April 12. The Secret Service was in the Colombian coastal resort for a Latin American summit before Obama’s arrival. Twelve employees were implicated, eight of them ousted, three cleared of serious misconduct and one is being stripped of his security clearance.

over Romney, the challenger who only recently combined fundraising efforts with the Republican National Committee after a bruising — and expensive — primary.

But well-funded Republican outside groups, which are able to raise unlimited sums from donors, are narrowing that gap quickly and using their multimillions to run a slew of TV ads hammering Obama in key states.

Obama aides acknowledge the possibility that he could be outraised by the influx of Republican money.

The numbers tell the story.

Through April, Obama and Democratic groups supporting his re-election bid have raised nearly $450 million during the election cycle and have more than $150 million in the bank.

Romney and Republicans backing him have collected more than $400 million during the same stretch and have about $80 million at their disposal.

Gone is the 10-to-1 cash advantage that Obama held at the end of March.

To be sure, Romney was bound to erode that money gap as he pivoted to the general election.

He still, however, lags on another measure of campaign strength: Obama has had months to prepare an extensive ground game to identify, register and turn out voters.

On the money front, Romney has benefited from a strong desire among GOP activists to defeat Obama, multiple GOP outside groups willing to spending tens of millions of dollars and a well-oiled fundraising machine within his own campaign. Showing that prowess, the former Massachusetts governor raised $15 million this week during three days of fundraising in New York.

Commercial space race gets crowded WASHINGTON (AP) — A privately built space capsule that’s zipping its way to the International Space Station has also launched something else: A new for-profit space race.

The capsule called Dragon was due to arrive near the space station for tests early today and dock on Friday with its load of supplies. Space Exploration Technologies Corp. — run by PayPal co-founder Elon Musk — was hired by NASA to deliver cargo and eventually astronauts to the orbital outpost.

And the space agency is hiring others, too.

Several firms think they can make money in space and are close enough to Musk’s company to practically surf in his spaceship’s rocket-fueled wake.

There are now more companies looking to make money in orbit — at least eight — than major U.S. airlines still flying.

Private space companies have talked for years

about ferrying goods and astronauts for NASA, but this is the first time one is actually in orbit and about to make a delivery for the space agency.

“Dragon is not the only entrant in commercial cargo,” said Jeff Greason, president of XCOR Aerospace, which specializes in the also busy suborbital marketplace.

“They have competitors nipping at their heels.”

Still, Dragon’s launch is “the spark that will ignite a flourishing commercial spaceflight marketplace,” said Michael Lopez-Alegria, the president of the Commercial Spaceflight Federation and a former astronaut.

Hiring Musk’s SpaceX and other private companies is a key part of NASA’s plan to shift focus. Instead of routine flights to the space station with the now retired space shuttles, NASA is aiming further out to places like asteroids and Mars. After this test flight, SpaceX has a contract with NASA for a dozen delivery runs.

Congress not willing to raise gas tax that would fund repairs

By Joan Lowy Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Driving onto an Interstate highway? Crossing a bridge on the way into work? Taking a tunnel under a river or bay? Get ready to pay.

With Congress unwilling to contemplate an increase in the federal gas tax, motorists are likely to be paying ever more tolls as the government searches for ways to repair and expand the nation’s congested highways.

Tolling is less efficient and sometimes can seem less fair than the main alternative, gasoline taxes.

It can increase traffic on side roads as motorists seek to evade paying.

Some tolling authorities — often quasi-governmental agencies operating outside the public eye — have been plagued by mismanagement. And some public-private partnerships to build toll roads have drowned in debt because of too-rosy revenue predictions.

Tolls are hardly a perfect solution. But to many states and communities, they’re the best option available.

“It’s very hard in this environment for states to add capacity without charging a toll because they can’t afford to do

it,” said Joshua Schank, president of the Eno Center for Transportation, a Washington think tank.

“They’re barely able to maintain what they’ve got, and there is an urgent need for capacity.”

Some changes already are under way In addition to the tolls allowed on Interstates in 15 states, mostly in the Northeast and Midwest, the U.S. has agreed to pilot toll projects on Interstate 95 in Virginia and North Carolina and on Interstate 70 in Missouri.

A commission created

by Congress to recommend ways to pay for upkeep of the nation’s transportation system predicted in 2009 that the U.S. will face nightmarish congestion unless it spends more. The commission estimated all levels of government were spending a cumulative $137 billion less each year than is necessary to maintain and expand the current system.

Without action, there will be a $2 trillion-plus backlog by 2035, it said.

It’s been nearly two decades since Congress last increased the federal gas and diesel taxes that have historically paid for highways. Meanwhile, the cost of road and bridge construction has gone up and the purchasing power of fuel taxes has declined

by more than a third. Revenue is also down because people have been driving less due to the uncertain economy and because cars are becoming more fuel-efficient.

Federal and state fuel tax revenues peaked in 2007 at $72.4 billion, then dropped to $68.6 billion in 2010, the most recent year for which data are available.

Meanwhile, state toll collections rose from $4.9 billion in 2000 to $8.9 billion in 2010, and locally administered tolls rose from $1.6 billion in 2000 to $2.5 billion in 2009.

The trust fund that pays for federal highway programs is forecast to go broke sometime next year, though the House and Senate are trying to negotiate a bill to shore up the funding and overhaul transportation programs. It’s unclear whether they’ll reach a deal, but if they do, it’s likely to contain only a short-term financial fix. That means lawmakers will be back again, scratching for more.

Tolling is the easiest near-term way to pay the bills, says Robert Atkinson, who served as chairman of the financing commission.

“If you could allow modest tolling on Interstates, you could raise a lot of money,” he said.

Eager Egyptians hold landmark presidential vote

By Hamza Hendawi and Lee Keath Associated Press

CAIRO — After a lifetime of being told who will rule them, Egyptians dove enthusiastically into the uncertainty of the Arab world’s first competitive presidential race Wednesday, wrestling with a polarizing choice between secularists rooted in Hosni Mubarak’s old autocracy and Islamists hoping to infuse the state with religion.

Waiting in long lines, voters were palpably excited at the chance to decide their country’s path in the vote, the fruit of last year’s stunning popular revolt that overthew Mubarak after 29 years in power. For the past 60 years, Egypt’s presidents ran unchallenged in yesor-no referendums that few bothered to vote in.

Still, the choices raised worries among many about whether real democracy will emerge.

The final result, likely to come after a runoff next

AN EGYPTIAN MAN SHOWS HIS INKED FINGER after casting his vote Wednesday inside a polling station, in Giza, Egypt. More than 15 months after autocratic leader Hosni Mubarak’s ouster, Egyptians streamed to polling stations Wednesday to freely choose a president for the first time in generations. month, will only open a new chapter of political struggle.

Mohammed Salah, 26, emerged grinning from a poll station, fresh from casting his ballot. “Before, they used to take care of that for me,” he said. “Today, I am choosing for myself.”

Medhat Ibrahim, 58, who suffers from cancer, had tears in his eyes. “I might die in a matter of months, so I came for my children, so they can live,” he said, as he waited to vote in a poor Cairo district. “We want to live better, like human beings.” He later came out

flashing a finger stained with the blue ink used to prevent multiple voting.

“Mubarak’s policies gave me cancer,” he said, referring to the decline in health care under the last regime. “Now I got my revenge.”

Adding to the drama, this election is up in the air. The reliability of polls is uncertain, and four of the 13 candidates have bounced around the top spots, leaving no clear front-runner. None is likely to win outright in Wednesday and today’s balloting, so the top two vote-getters enter a runoff June 16-17, with the victor announced June 21.

The two secular frontrunners are both veterans of Mubarak’s regime — former prime minister Ahmed Shafiq and former foreign minister Amr Moussa.

The main Islamist contenders are Mohammed Morsi of the powerful Muslim Brotherhood and Abdel-Moneim Abolfotoh, a moderate

Islamist whose inclusive platform has won him the support of some liberals, leftists and minority Christians.

The debate went right up to the doorsteps of schools around the country where poll stations were set up.

Some voters backed Mubarak-era veterans, believing they can bring stability after months of rising crime, a crumbling economy and bloody riots.

Others were horrified by the thought, believing the “feloul” — or “remnants” of the regime — will keep Egypt locked in dictatorship and thwart democracy.

Islamists, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood, saw their chance to lead a country where they were repressed for decades and to implement their version of Islamic law. Their critics recoiled, fearing theocracy.

Some saw an alternative to both in a leftist candidate, Hamdeen Sabahi, who has claimed the man-

tle of Egypt’s first president, the populist Gamal Abdel-Nasser.

An Islamist victory, particularly by Morsi, will likely mean a greater emphasis on religion in government.

His Muslim Brotherhood, which already dominates parliament, says it won’t mimic Saudi Arabia and force women to wear veils or implement harsh punishments like amputations. But it says it does want to implement a more moderate version of Islamic law, which liberals fear will mean limitations on many rights.

Many of the candidates have called for amendments to Egypt’s 1979 peace treaty with Israel, which remains deeply unpopular. None is likely to dump it, but a victory by any of the Islamist or leftist candidates in the race could mean strained ties with Israel and a stronger stance in support of the Palestinians in the peace process.

Pakistan convicts doctor who helped find bin Laden

By Chris Brummitt and Riaz Khan Associated Press

PESHAWAR, PAKISTAN — A doctor who helped the CIA hunt down Osama bin Laden was convicted Wednesday of conspiring against the state and sentenced to 33 years in prison, adding new strains to an already deeply troubled relationship between the U.S. and Pakistan.

U.S. officials had urged Pakistan to release the doctor, who ran a vaccination program for the CIA to collect DNA and verify the al-Qaida leader’s presence at the compound in the town of Abbottabad where U.S. commandos

killed him in May 2011 in a unilateral raid.

T h e lengthy sentence for Dr. Shakil Afridi will be taken as Afridi another sign of Pakistan’s defiance of American wishes. It could give more fuel to critics in the United States that Pakistan — which has yet to arrest anyone for helping shelter bin Laden — should no longer be treated as an ally.

The verdict came days after a NATO summit in Chicago that was overshadowed by tensions be-

tween the two countries that are threatening American hopes of an orderly end to the war in Afghanistan and withdrawal of its combat troops by 2014.

Islamabad was invited in expectation it would reopen supply lines for NATO and U.S. troops to Afghanistan it has blocked for nearly six months to protest U.S. airstrikes that killed 24 Pakistani troops on the Afghan border.

But it did not reopen the routes and instead repeated demands for an apology from Washington for the airstrikes.

Pakistan’s treatment of Afridi since his arrest following the bin Laden raid has in many ways symbol-

BUSINESS AT A GLANCE

Notable Opponents of a proposed pipeline designed to carry crude oil from Canada under the Great Plains filed a lawsuit Wednesday challenging Nebraska’s new oil pipeline review law.

The lawsuit was filed directly with the state Supreme Court. In it, several Nebraska landowners along TransCanada’s proposed pipeline route claim the law establishing the review process is unconstitutional because it doesn’t allow for judicial review and doesn’t spell out what criteria should be considered when a proposed pipeline is being evaluated.

Between Facebook, JPMorgan, Wall St. woes start to mount

By Christina Rexrode and Pallavi Gogoi Associated Press

NEW YORK — Almost four years after the financial crisis, Wall Street still can’t get it right.

Investor anger mounted Wednesday over the initial public offering of Facebook stock last week, which was fumbled by the banks that managed the deal and complicated by technical problems at the Nasdaq stock exchange.

Shareholders filed at least two lawsuits against Facebook and Morgan Stanley, the bank that shepherded the IPO, over reports that it withheld negative analyst reports about Facebook from some clients before the company went public.

It was the second stumble this month by a major Wall Street firm. JPMorgan Chase, usually revered for taming risk, has yet to contain a growing $2 billion loss in one of its trading units.

The missteps are further eroding the confidence of Main Street, or what was left of it after the financial meltdown of 2008, and reinforcing the sense that the game is rigged.

Judson Gee, a financial adviser in Char-

lotte, N.C., placed a call Wednesday morning to a client who had plowed $50,000 into Facebook stock on Friday, the day of the IPO. Gee said he called to tell the client, a restaurateur, about reports that Morgan Stanley had told only select customers about an analyst’s reduction of revenue estimates for Facebook just before the IPO. “I could see his jaw dropping on the other side,” Gee said. “A lot of expletives came out.” He said his client had asked: “How can they give that information to the big boys and not give it to the public?”

In the final planning of the IPO, Facebook, working with Morgan Stanley, raised the total number of shares being offered for sale by 25 percent, to 421 million. They expected extraordinary demand for the stock by investors.

That appears to have been a miscalculation.

Facebook stock jumped from $38 to as high as $45 in the opening minutes, but quickly sank toward $38 again. It dropped to about $34 on Monday and $31 on Tuesday. The stock recovered somewhat on Wednesday and climbed $1.

ized the gulf between Washington and Islamabad.

In the United States and other Western nations, Afridi was viewed as a hero who had helped eliminate the world’s most-wanted man. But Pakistan army and spy chiefs were outraged by the raid, which led to international suspicion that they had been harboring the al-Qaida chief. In their eyes, Afridi was a traitor who had collaborated with a foreign spy agency in an illegal operation on its soil.

Afridi, in his 50s, was detained sometime after the raid, but the start of his trial was never publicized.

He was tried under the

Frontier Crimes Regulations, or FCR — the set of laws that govern Pakistan’s semiautonomous tribal region. Human rights organizations have criticized the FCR for not providing suspects the right to legal representation, to present material evidence, or to cross-examine witnesses. Verdicts are handled by a government official in consultation with a council of elders.

Afridi was tried in the Khyber tribal region, where he was raised. In addition to the prison term, he was ordered to pay a fine of about $3,500 and is subject to an additional 3 and a half years in prison

if he does not, according to Nasir Khan, a government official in Khyber.

Afridi can appeal the verdict within two months, said Iqbal Khan, another Khyber government official.

An official with Pakistan’s main Inter-Services Intelligence agency said the decision was in Pakistan’s “national interest,” and he dismissed earlier appeals by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and other American officials that Afridi should be released. The official did not give his name because the ISI doesn’t allow its operatives to be identified in the media.

Construction zone Street construction is a normal part of summer, but it calls for some patience and courtesy on the part of local motorists.

R

oad construction season has once again descended upon Lawrence.

This week, a Sixth Street repaving project from Iowa Street to Monterey Way got started. Construction crews will keep one lane of traffic open in each direction through the duration of the project, which is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 10, but city officials are projecting traffic will move slowly along portions of the route. In addition to the repaving, crews will install rightturn lanes at the Sixth and Kasold intersection.

Work on the Massachusetts Street bridge over the Kansas River continues as does the bridge replacement on 23rd Street between Barker Avenue and Haskell Avenue.

Later this summer, Wakarusa Drive will be completely shut down to traffic during a multimonth project to rebuild the intersection at Bob Billings Parkway.

Crews should start work on Wakarusa Drive by late July.

So, it will be tough for motorists to get around town this summer. Road construction is a normal part of summer, but it is important to be safe, especially around yellow cones and when workers are present. In 2011, there were 1,609 accidents in work zones in Kansas, including 11 fatalities, according to the Kansas Department of Transportation. Of those deaths, 10 were motorists and one was a pedestrian.

According to KDOT, 75 percent of 2011’s work zone accidents were the result of inattentive driving. Other causes were failure to yield, following too closely, driving too fast for conditions and disregarding signs, signals or markings, officials say. Seventy-five percent of the crashes occurred during daylight hours.

Don’t be one of 2012’s accident statistics. Consider alternative routes and, when traveling through a work zone, expect delays, and be cautious, patient and courteous to fellow motorists.

Identity politics entangles Warren BOSTON — Blond, blue-eyed Elizabeth Warren, the Senate candidate and Harvard professor who cites “family lore” that she is 1/32nd Cherokee, was inducted into Oklahoma’s Hall of Fame last year. Her biography on oklahomaheritage.com says she “can track both sides of her family in Oklahoma long before statehood” (1907) and “she proudly tells everyone she encounters that she is ‘an Okie to my toes.’” It does not mention any Cherokee greatgreat-great-grandmother. A DVD of the induction ceremony shows that neither Warren nor anyone else mentioned this.

The kerfuffle that has earned Warren such sobriquets as “Spouting Bull” and “Fauxcahontas” began with reports that Harvard Law School, in routine academic preening about diversity (in everything but thought), listed her as a minority faculty member, as did the University of Pennsylvania when she taught there. She said some in her family had “high cheekbones like all of the Indians do.” The New England Historic Genealogical Society said a document confirmed the family lore of Warren’s Cherokee ancestry, but later backtracked. She has said she did not know Harvard was listing her as a minority in the 1990s, but Harvard was echoing her: From 1986 through 1995, starting before she came to Harvard, a directory published by the Association of American Law Schools listed her

So, although no evidence has been found that Warren is part Indian, for years, two universities listed her as such.” as a minority and says its listings are based on professors claiming minority status.

So, although no evidence has been found that Warren is part Indian, for years, two universities listed her as such. She has identified herself as a minority, as when, signing her name as “Elizabeth Warren — Cherokee,” she submitted a crab recipe (Oklahoma crabs?) to a supposedly Indian cookbook. This is a political problem.

A poll taken before this controversy found her Republican opponent Scott Brown trouncing her on “likability,” 57 percent to 23 percent. Even Democrats broke for Brown 40-38. Now she is a comic figure associated with laughable racial preferences. She who wants Wall Street “held accountable” is accountable for two elite law schools advertising her minority status. She who

accuses Wall Street of gaming the financial system at least collaborated with, and perhaps benefited from, the often absurd obsession with “diversity.”

How absurd? Warren says that for almost a decade she listed herself in the AALS directory as a Native American because she hoped to “meet others like me.” This well-educated, highly paid, much-honored (she was a consumer protection adviser to President Obama) member of America’s upper 1 percent went looking for people “who are like I am” among Native Americans?

This makes perfect sense to a liberal subscriber to the central superstition of the diversity industry, which is the premise of identity politics: Personhood is distilled not to the content of character but only to race, ethnicity, gender or sexual preference.

This controversy has discombobulated liberalism’s crusade to restore Democratic possession of the Senate seat the party won in 1952 with John Kennedy and held until 2010, when Brown captured it after Ted Kennedy’s death.

Lofty thinkers and exasperated liberals consider the focus on Warren’s fanciful ancestry a distraction from serious stuff. (Such as The Washington Post’s nearly 5,500-word wallow in teenage Mitt Romney’s prep school comportment?) But Warren’s adult dabbling in identity politics is pertinent because it is, in all its silliness, applied liberalism.

The New York Times Magazine’s headline on its profile of her — “Heaven Is a Place Called Elizabeth Warren” — suggests the chord she strikes with liberals. They resonate to identity politics of the sort Warren’s campaign tried when, on the defensive, it resorted, of course, to claiming victimhood. Playing the gender card, it insinuated that criticism of her adventures as a minority amounts to a sexist attack on an accomplished woman. But an accomplished woman, Susan Collins of Maine, the only Republican senator rated more liberal than Brown (who last year voted with his party only 54 percent of the time on partisan issues), called this insinuation “patently absurd.”

Barack Obama, who in 2008 carried Massachusetts by almost 800,000 votes, will win here again, and a senior official of Brown’s campaign thinks that in order to win Brown must run between 250,000 and 500,000 votes ahead of Romney. In the special election in January 2010, Brown defeated a female opponent (women are 53 percent of Massachusetts voters) by 107,317 votes. He won independents 2-1.

The turnout this November, with Obama on the ballot, probably will be larger, less white and more Democratic. But just 0.3 percent of Massachusetts residents are Native Americans, even counting Warren.

Efforts to define ‘Other’ are doomed I, too, sing America.

So wrote Langston Hughes, the unofficial poet laureate of the Harlem Renaissance.

Hughes, whose 65 years spanned the lynch mobs of the early 20th century and the race riots of the mid-1960s, intended a defiant reminder to a nation too often content to include him out, a nation quick to regard him as the eternal Other, separate from and threatening to, what they saw as the “real” America, i.e., the white America.

“I, too, sing America.”

It was his way of letting them know that he, too, belonged to America. And America, to him.

Hughes died 45 years ago this week, but the need for the reminder survives. Consider two headlines from last week about the revitalization of racially provocative smears against President Obama. One story, originating in the New York Times, concerned a plan floated to — and wisely shot down by — a GOP Super PAC. It sought $10 million for ads tying Obama to incendiary statements by his former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. If that leaves you feeling deja vu all over again, it’s because that controversy was already litigated — and dismissed — four years ago.

Leonard Pitts Jr.

“

lpitts@miamiherald.com

So it appears the fall campaign will turn, at least in part, upon a renewed effort to convince people that the president … is a scary and mysterious Other: ‘Hide the children, Martha. Obama is comin’!’”

This goofy plan to revive it envisioned the hiring of “an extremely literate conservative African-American” spokesman (“How can you accuse us of racism?

We’ve got us an extremely literate African-American spokesman!”) to argue that Obama lied when he presented himself as, ahem, a “black metrosexual Abe Lincoln.”

The second story was nearly as bizarre. It seems Arizona Secretary of State Ken Bennett told a radio interviewer it’s

“possible” he’ll hold the president off that state’s ballot unless he gets proof Obama was born in the U.S.A. Perhaps that makes you think Bennett, who has gubernatorial aspirations, is pandering to the lunatic fringe. Perish the thought. “I’m not a birther,” he said, presumably with a straight face. “I believe that the president was born in Hawaii — or at least, I hope he was.”

So it appears the fall campaign will turn, at least in part, upon a renewed effort to convince people that the president — a man they’ve seen daily for three years now, a man who, the polls suggest, voters find personally likable even when they disagree with his politics — is a scary and mysterious Other: “Hide the children, Martha. Obama is comin’!”

These pathetic retreads are the kind of ideas you get from people operating on bad food and too little sleep.

It is ironic but also fitting that all this came to pass in the same week the U.S. Census Bureau reported a milestone. It seems that for the first time in U.S. history, white babies are now outnumbered by nonwhite ones.

The majority becomes the minority. And as that wave of babies moves toward adulthood, the nation moves toward a future in which it will

only grow that much more difficult to “otherize” people for their dark skin and exotic names.

After all, President Martinez lies in an incubator even as we speak. President Chen has begun to toddle. President Muhammad is being toilet trained. And this idea that some of us are real Americans and some of us are Others is thereby doomed. It will probably not even work in 2012. It will definitely not work in years to come.

The conservatives who are still demanding a birth certificate they’ve already been provided, the ones taking applications for extremely literate AfricanAmericans, the ones operating on bad food, no sleep and a surplus of panic, would be well advised to understand this and adapt accordingly. Their former business model — appeal to the fears, anxieties and resentments of aging white voters — is literally dying.

Meantime, the future is being born, audible in every new baby’s cry. Langston Hughes would have understood that sound for what it is — America, being sung.

NEW YORK’S ALEX RODRIGUEZ WATCHES his first-inning, solo home run off Kansas City startt ing pitcher Will Smith. A-Rod added another homer off the rookie in an eventual 8-3 Yankees victory on Wednesday in New York.

A-Rod roughs up Royals rookie ——

Will Smith debuts in 8-3 setback NEW YORK (AP) — On Tuesday night, after another mediocre game at the plate, Alex Rodriguez insisted he was ready to go on a tear.

He knew what he was talking about.

A-Rod gave Will Smith a rude welcome to the major leagues Wednesday night, hitting two homers off the rookie to back another strong start for Andy Pettitte and lead the New York Yankees over the Kansas City Royals, 8-3.

“I said it with conviction not because it was going to sound good here in my locker but because I felt it,” Rodriguez said. “It’s good to back that up.”

Rodriguez snapped a 52 atbat homerless drought and drove in three runs for New York. Curtis Granderson also connected off Smith and the Yankees scored three times in the fifth with help from some inept relief pitching.

Derek Jeter had three hits to tie Paul Waner for 15th with 3,152. Before Jeter singled in the eighth, Waner had been the only player who reached a bigger hits milestone than Jeter in a Yankees uniform. “Big Poison” got just one hit with New York, his final one in a career spent mostly in Pittsburgh.

New York scored as many as three runs in the first inning for the first time in 31 games since April 19 and finished a 3-3 homestand. The Yankees start a 10-game trip at Oakland on Friday following their first consecutive wins since taking three in a row from May 10-12.

Pettitte (2-1) followed eight innings of four-hit ball against Cincinnati with seven-plus crafty innings in his third start since coming out

LAWRENCE HIGH SECOND BASEMAN TREVOR CHAMPAGNE TRIES FOR A DOUBLE PLAY while avoiding Raymore-Peculiar’s Seth Parker (13) during their River City Baseball Festival game on April 21 at Hoglund Ballpark. Champagne and his LHS teammates will return r to “The Hog” Friday for a first-round Class 6A state tournament game.

Lions’ 2B ‘always in right place’

By Benton Smith basmith@ljworld.com

He is the type of baseball player who gets dirt on his uniform every time he laces up his cleats and runs out on the diamond — even while playing his home games on an all-turf infield.

Known mostly for bunt singles and stellar defense, there

isn’t much flamboyance to Lawrence High senior second baseman Trevor Champagne, but he possesses the kind of grit, mental toughness and other attributes that make him the ultimate teammate.

Lions coach Brad Stoll dubbed Champagne the best drag bunter he has ever coached, but that’s just the beginning of why Stoll and ev-

eryone else in the LHS dugout think so highly of the team’s 5-foot-6, 135-pound eight-hole hitter.

Defensively, he’ll dive to rob the other team of a hit or turn a double play on a hardhit ground ball. He’ll go to the plate late in a game and ignite a rally. Even though he isn’t the fastest player on the field, he’ll read an opposing pitch-

er’s delivery and make himselff a tough out on the base paths.

“He’s just one of those guys who is always in the right place,” Stoll said.

As far as Champagne is concerned, those intangibles are job requirements.

“I think that’s just being a ballplayer,” the senior said.

Catcher steps p out of brother’s shadow

By Matt Tait mtait@ljworld.com

When he was younger, Lawrence High sophomore catcher Drew Green spent countless hours watching his older brother, Dorian, turn in performances on the basketball court and baseball diamond that will be talked about in LHS lore for years.

Please see ROYALS, page 3B

Today, with Green and his baseball teammates preparing for Friday’s first round of the Class 6A state tournament, the younger Green Green has stepped out of the shadow of

his older brother and has his eye set on surpassing him.

“There are always going to be people who want to compare us,” Drew said. “But I really just try to be my own person. I use all of what he accomplished as motivation, and I want to get at least one state championship while I’m here. I wouldn’t mind getting a couple, though. You know, more than him.”

Most of Dorian’s legend was created on the basketball court, where he twice led LHS in scoring and also earned multiple all-state and all-Sunflower League honors before moving on to play college ball at Colorado State, where he will begin his senior year this fall. But his one state title Please see GREEN, page 3B

Jayhawks stumble in Big 12 opener J-W Staff and Wire Reports

TEXAS A&M’S SCOTT ARTHUR, LEFT, BUMPS HELMETS with batboy Max Childress after scoring against Kansas in the fifth inning of the Aggies’ 10-4 victory on Wednesday in Oklahoma City.

OKLAHOMA CITY — Texas A&M second baseman Scott Arthur went 2-for-4 with a career-high three RBIs, while Tyler Naquin collected four hits as the sixth-ranked Aggies downed Kansas, 10-4, in the first round of the Big 12 Baseball Championship on Wednesday at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark.

Kansas sophomore pitch-

er Frank Duncan set a pair of milestones in defeat.

The righty recorded eight strikeouts, which tied for the most by a Kansas pitcher in a Big 12 tournament game, matching Kodiak Quick’s total in a 2005 game against Baylor. Duncan also reached 100 strikeouts for the season, making him the fifth KU pitcher to collect 100-plus K’s and the first since 2005.

And he dominated at times, retiring 11 straight — including six straight strikeouts — after surrendering an RBI single in the first.

But A&M scored four runs in the fifth and two in the sixth to pull away.

“With our team being so young it has been a struggle this year obviously, but for us to keep grinding and to even get here for the Big 12 Championship was a step in

the right direction and a big step for the guys on our team since we are so young,” said Duncan, who was touched for a season-high seven runs off 10 hits over 52⁄3 innings.

The Jayhawks rallied for three runs in the ninth inning, when freshmen outfielders Dakota Smith and Michael Suiter collected RBI hits, while Tucker Tharp Please see BIG 12, page 3B

KU BASKETBALL NOTEBOOK

Signee Ellis a valedictorian

By Gary Bedore gbedore@ljworld.com

Incoming Kansas University basketball forward Perry Ellis served as one of four valedictorians at Wichita Heights High School’s graduation ceremony on Sunday.

Ellis, a 6-foot-8, 220-pound McDonald’s All-American, completed his prep career with a perfect 4.0 grade-point average. He served as secretary of his school’s National H o n o r Society chapter and volunteered for the W i c h i t a Ellis Children’s H o m e with the Real Men, Real Heroes’ Teen Hero program. He also was part of multiple youth literacyoutreach initiatives and worked as a motivational speaker to youth athletes.

The four-time Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year last season averaged 25.8 points and 9.4 rebounds per game for the four-time state champs.

He shot 67.0 percent from the field, 43.4 percent from three-point range and 78.3 percent from the free-throw line.

Rivals.com’s No. 24-rat-

ed player in the Class of 2012 told Jayhawkslant. com he will report to KU for summer school sometime between June 1 and 4.

“A lot of good people around basketball have been through Kansas. I’m thankful that I’m going to be a part of it and I’m ready to get better,” said Ellis, who said he will wear his high school number of 34 at KU. O

Freeman switches schools: Allerik Freeman, a 6-3 senior-to-be from Olympic High in Charlotte, N.C., on Friday announced on Twitter he’ll be playing basketball at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nev., next season.

Freeman, the No. 25-rated player in the Class of 2013 by Rivals.com, has a final list of Kansas, Duke, Ohio State, Villanova and UCLA. He averaged 17.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 1.3 steals last season for 28-2 Olympic High.

“Findlay is kind of like the Oak Hill (Academy) of the West,” ESPN’s Dave Telep told the Charlotte Observer. “It’s one of those places that a lot of high-level kids in the last five years have opted to attend. Allerik’s a high-level, high-major basketball player, and he’s going to a place where he’s not going to be the only one. I don’t

came in 2009, when the Lions won the 6A state baseball trophy, with Dorian picking up the victory on the mound in the semifinals.

Like his older brother, Drew also played basketball growing up, but he gave that up after his freshman year.

He’s a baseball and football guy now, and giving it their all on the diamond is about the only place the Green brothers overlap.

“I’ve coached a lot of brother combinations,” LHS baseball coach Brad Stoll said. “And these two cats are as polar opposite as it gets. One of them is tall, lanky and doesn’t say much. The other is short, stocky and never shuts up.”

The latter is Drew, who has started about half of Lawrence’s games at catcher this season and has made a heck of an impact. At last week’s regional tournament in Olathe, Green, who bats third in the Lions’ order, rocked a home run during the regional semifinal against Free State and caught two sensational games from LHS pitchers. Dorian, a pitcher and outfielder during his days at LHS, sat quietly in the stands and watched, sometimes even pacing when the moment became tense. That’s the same way Dorian carried himself when he played, but that, too, is in contrast to the way Drew plays.

“I get fired up, and I show more emotion,” said Drew, who also plays middle linebacker in football.

“That’s just the way I get into the games.”

Despite their different styles, Stoll said the Greens had one important thing in common.

“They’re two different dudes,” Stoll said. “But they both have that burning desire to win.”

While waiting for his time to shine, Drew grew familiar with Dorian’s place in the spotlight and said he enjoyed watching his older brother dominate. So much so that he doesn’t even mind much when teammates tease him by calling him “Dorian” or “Dorian’s brother.”

“There are worse things to be called,” Drew said with a laugh.

“Every one of these guys out here, they’re gonna bust their (butts) every single day.”

Given Champagne’s stature, opposing players and coaches might not see him as a threat, but Stoll and the rest of the Lions (14-8) know better as they head into a Class 6A state tournament first-round game against Blue Valley West (20-2) at 4 p.m. Friday at Kansas University’s Hoglund Ballpark.

“That’s what I love the most about him,” Stoll said. “When the people that are supposed to get it done don’t, that little dude steps up and does it for them.”

Senior pitcher Garrett Cleavinger has played baseball against or with Champagne since the two were in elementary school together in Baldwin. Champagne’s size, Cleavinger said, never held back his confidence as a player.

“He gets overlooked

know enough about it, but his reasoning probably includes playing with and against other high-level guys on a daily basis.”

Findlay went 32-1 last year.

O

Withey speaks: Kansas University senior-to-be Jeff Withey, in a Q-and-A with ESPN.com’s Myron Medcalf, said the Jayhawks were a motivated bunch last season in winning an eighth-straight Big 12 title and reaching the national title game.

“We felt like every time we played, we felt like everyone was saying we were going to lose and not make it very far. Missouri was going to do this and that. Missouri’s our rival so we wanted to upstage them, of course,” Withey said. “It’s just a great way that this whole year went.

It went perfect for us. It was awesome.”

On returning for his senior season: “I definitely considered it (turning pro). It was definitely a dream of mine to play in the NBA. I thought about it. I talked to my parents about it. I talked to my coaches about it. At the end of the day, I felt like it was better to come and graduate and maybe go a lot higher than I was projected to go.” The full interview is available at http://es.pn/JDb8aP

and underestimated all the time, but he’s such a competitor, one of the most competitive guys I know,” the LHS starting pitcher said. “He just hates to lose, absolutely hates it with a passion.”

Holding a .281 batting average with 12 RBI and 11 runs, Champagne’s relentless work ethic has made him the productive player he has become in his final season with the Lions. At one workout this past offseason, he didn’t want to give up on a drill, even though the lactic acid had built up in his legs to a point he could barely stand up, let alone walk.

“It’s not about if you can finish ’em,” Champagne said, recalling the workout, “it’s about heart and (overcoming) the mental block that’s in front of you.”

Champagne knows that kind of tenacity earned him a spot as a starter, and he trusts his teammates to have the same mind-set.

If he gets on base, Champagne doesn’t doubt for a moment that he will score, because following him in the lineup is Kieran Severa, then the top of the or-

Hanni lands Tech post: Brian Hanni of Lawrence’s KLWN on Wednesday was named radio voice of Texas Tech men’s basketball.

Hanni, a 2002 KU graduate who is originally from Topeka, spent the last decade broadcasting KU athletics, including eight seasons working the KU women’s basketball broadcasts, 10 seasons with KU baseball.

“We’re extremely excited to have someone as good and exciting as Brian to continue the very proud tradition of broadcasting Red Raider Basketball,” said Tech coach Billy Gillispie. “He has a vast array of experiences that will help make Red Raider Basketball a lot of fun.”

Hanni is the fifth voice of Tech hoops since 1953, joining Jack Dale (19532003), John Harris (200306), Steve Dale (2006-07) and Mark Finkner (200712).

In the community, Hanni co-founded and served as a youth leader for the Lawrence Chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes and is the founder and director of the Rock Chalk Roundball Classic, an annual celebrity basketball game raising money for children fighting cancer.

der — Shane Willoughby, Troy Willoughby, Drew Green and Jake Vinoverski.

“Late in the game, when we’re down one or two (runs),” Champagne said, “we’re not mentally giving in.”

The Lions didn’t give up on their state tournament hopes, either, when they lost three of four games in a late-April skid. Those “speed bumps,” Champagne added, might have benefited the team.

“I think we just got past those because the coaches kept preaching the last three weeks in May,” he said. “As a team, I think we bought into that. We knew we would rather lose during the course of the season than lose these last five games (two at regional, three at state).”

According to senior shortstop Troy Willoughby, Lawrence might not be at state without its dirty little second baseman.

“We’re a completely different team without Trevor Champagne,” he said. “He’s like the glue that puts us all together, makes us a well oiled machine.”

Big 12

76ers force Game Seven PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The buzz at the start was for Allen Iverson’s ceremonial return.

By the end, more than 20,000 fans were on their feet and going wild for Jrue Holiday, Elton Brand, Andre Iguodala and the rugged-and-determined play that kept the eighthseeded Philadelphia 76ers alive for at least one more game.

Yes, the Sixers are talking about Game 7 — and they’re taking this improbable postseason run back to Boston.

Holiday scored 20 points, and Brand had 13 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Sixers to an 82-75 victory over the Celtics on Wednesday night that tied the Eastern Conference semifinals.

No team has won consecutive games in a series where neither team has played well enough to seize control. But the Sixers were good enough to win Game 6, improving to 5-0 this postseason in games following a loss.

“Game 7,” coach Doug Collins said. “That’s all we wanted was to win tonight and give ourselves a chance to go into Boston and see what happens on Saturday.”

Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen and Rajon Rondo could be playing their last game together Saturday night if they can’t find a way to hang onto the ball and put away a Sixers team that won’t quit.

Boston has learned three times already how difficult that can be.

The fun started when

Tharp, Suiter and second baseman Jordan Dreiling each collected two hits, while four players collected RBIs. Kansas (22-33) will face Texas at 12:30 p.m. today in an elimination game.

It ended with the song, “I’m Shipping Up to Boston,” blasting through the arena.

“I want more,” Collins said. “We’re going to get greedy. We want more.”

The Celtics posted ugly numbers across the board: Blame the loss on the 33 percent shooting, the 17 turnovers or the 3-for-14 three-point shooting.

Either way, there’s enough to go around.

Pierce had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Garnett had 20 points and 11 boards.

“We found a way to stay in the game, for the most part,” Pierce said.

of retirement. He gave Smith a lesson in mixing pitches and working out of difficult situations.

“I feel like I’m moving the ball around the zone and that makes it difficult to hit,” Pettitte said.

In the third inning, first baseman Mark Teixeira started a double play with a diving stop. Pettitte got out of a bases loaded jam in the fourth with a strikeout — one of his eight Ks — giving a slight fist pump walking off the mound.

“He’s as good as I’ve ever seen over there,” Pettitte said about Teixeira.

Pettitte gave up seven hits, including homers to Billy Butler and Mitch Maier. The 39-year-old left-hander has not lost to Kansas City since 1999. In 24 games against the Royals, he is 14-3.

Liddi’s slam ignites Mariners The Associated Press

American League Mariners 5, Rangers 3 SEATTLE — Alex Liddi hit the first grand slam of his career, and second grand slam ever by an Italian-born player, Kevin Millwood threw six shutout innings, and Seattle took two of three from division-leading Texas with a win over the Rangers on Wednesday.

Reno Bertoia hit a grand slam on May 7, 1958, for Detroit against Washington. Liddi made Texas manager Ron Washington pay for the decision to pitch around Dustin Ackley with one out in the fifth inning. Ackley was intentionally walked to load the bases, and Liddi lined the first pitch from Scott Feldman (0-2) just over the yellow line on top of the left-field wall for his third homer.

Kendrys Morales drew a one-out walk in the 11th against Justin Norberto (0-1) and was lifted for pinch-runner Peter Bourjos, who moved to third on Howie Kendrick’s twoout single. Callaspo then drove them both home with a double to left.

Jordan Walden (1-1) pitched a 1-2-3 10th, and Ernesto Frieri finished for his first major-league save on a day the Angels couldn’t deliver enough to back starter Jered Weaver.

Indians 4, Tigers 2 CLEVELAND — Jason Kipnis had three hits and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning as Cleveland beat Detroit.

Kipnis singled off the glove of Phil Coke (1-1) with one out and took third on a double into the left-field corner by Asdrubal Cabrera.

Travis Hafner then grounded to first baseman Prince Fielder, whose low throw handcuffed catcher Gerald Laird for an error as Kipnis dove into the plate to score. Carlos Santana’s sacrifice fly scored Cabrera.

Sale (5-2) held the Twins to two hits and two walks, striking out six. He has allowed three runs or less in all eight of his starts in his first year as a member of the Chicago rotation.

Still showing a black eye after getting hit in the face by a pitch last Friday, Konerko had three hits and scored three times.

Phillies 4, Nationals 1 PHILADELPHIA — Cole Hamels pitched eight scoreless innings as Philadelphia snapped a seasonlong four-game losing streak.

Hamels (7-1) didn’t allow a hit until Danny Espinosa doubled with one out in the sixth. The lefthander won his seventh straight decision.

Dear Annie: My father and I have never had the best relationship. He was domineering, controlling and verbally abusive to me as a teenager, and as a result, I rebelled and did things specifically to irritate him. Several times, he kicked me out of the house, saying I forced him to behave the way he did. I always apologized because it was easier if I kept the peace.

Three years ago, my parents separated. Just before Mom and I moved out, Dad and I got into a huge argument, and he nearly punched me. I did not speak to him for six months. Since then, there’s been a thaw in our relationship. He even apologized and seemed more understanding.

When I saw him at Christmas, we had a great time together.

However, he hasn’t spoken to me since then.

There was no fight or argument. I’ve tried to call him several times to

Annie’s Mailbox

Marcy Sugar and Kathy Mitchell anniesmailbox@comcast.net

make plans or just talk, and he has ignored my calls and doesn’t respond to my voicemails. He broke every coffee date I made, and instead of telling me, he informed my brother or mom that he couldn’t make it.

Dad is obviously avoiding me, but I have no idea why. I’m tired of his imaginary issues and “nobody loves me” attitude. Should I confront him and find out why he stopped talking to me or forget him? — Confused and Exhausted Dear Confused: Your

New sitcom no laughing matter One day after the conclusion of the 2011-12 season, we can safely say that the sitcom is back. And the female-skewing, raunchy comedy is king — or queen, if you will. The fall network schedules are full of new half-hour comedies. Most notably, the success of “2 Broke Girls” has moved “Two and a Half Men” from its role as the center of CBS’ successful Monday night schedule. It will join “The Big Bang Theory” on Thursdays next fall.

Tonight, TBS launches “Men at Work” (9 p.m.). As the title implies, the show is about guys. Four of them. They work together, drink and prowl for sexual conquests together and meet again for breakfast the next morning to talk about what they did together the night before. ‘‘Men” kicks off as Milo (Danny Masterson, “That ’70s Show”) is telling the guys how his longtime girlfriend dumped him the night before. Actually, we see and hear two versions of the story because the guys find the first one too unbelievable. This is about as clever as “Men” gets.

Milo and his pals work together at an unnamed magazine that seems like an amalgam of what Maxim and Rolling Stone were circa 1999. Tyler (Michael Cassidy) appears to be the alpha dude, the features editor with a huge apartment who gets to interview really big stars. Gibbs (James Lesure) is a photographer and all-around stud. Neal (Adam Busch) is an ad salesman and the nerd of the group. ‘‘Men” does not conform to television series’ new pattern of strong, sassy women; it barely acknowledges women at all, except as easy conquests. One gets the sense that the folks behind “Men” learned about human behavior by watching beer commercials that air during “Seinfeld” reruns.

“Duets” (7 p.m., ABC) joins the summer talent competition fray with big stars and several variations on this very familiar format. Singers Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Jennifer Nettles and Robin Thicke will judge and mentor singers they choose as the show progresses.

Legend was called in to replace Lionel Richie at the last minute, even though Richie still appears in clips on the network’s website. So the unknown performers may not be the only ones winging it tonight.

Tonight’s other highlights

“Perez Hilton All Access: Lady Gaga”(7 p.m., CW) has an interview with the singer who recently appeared on “The Simpsons.”

Alex Trebek hosts the geography quiz “Geo Bee 2012” (7 p.m., National Geographic). I’ll take Burkina Faso for $1,000!

relationship with your father is tenuous, and it’s possible that maintaining his equilibrium around you is stressful for him. And although his behavior may be difficult, your response likely has its flaws, too.

If you want to know what’s going on, please ask your mother or brother to intercede on your behalf and find out whether you have unintentionally done something to aggravate the relationship and how you can repair it. Learning to get along with someone who pushes all your buttons requires ongoing effort. Since it’s your father, we think it’s worth another try.

Dear Annie: I am boiling mad. My boyfriend has an adult son who is autistic. After he and his ex separated, she started telling the son horrible lies about both of us.

JACQUELINE BIGAR’S STARS

For Thursday, May 24: This year learn to use misunderstandings to clear the air, if need be. You are direct and sometimes feel pressured, especially at home or in your personal life. If you are attached, attempt to take that edge off. If you are single, note that you might project yourself one way but actually you are very different.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult Aries (March 21-April 19) Stay centered, even if the world seems wild and out of control.

Your efforts will pay off. Tonight: The party is at your pad.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Before you know it, you could be in a power play with another person. You don’t want to go there, as it is a no-win situation.

Tonight: Return calls, catch up on email and make weekend plans!

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Curb a rebelliousness that sometimes comes out. You could make a difficult situation even more provocative. Tonight: Your treat.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) When confronted, you can become difficult and shut down more than anyone would suspect.

How do you think you got the nickname of the Crab? Tonight: Speak your mind in a calm setting.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Back off of a provocative associate who wants all the credit and demands a lot of attention on his or her terms. You could be overwhelmed by what is happening. Tonight: Choose your words with care.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Zero in on what you want. With a child or loved one,

don’t manipulate, or you might not appreciate the end results. Tonight: Express your anger appropriately.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your willingness to step up to the plate, even if curveballs and fouls are coming your way, defines you. However, don’t get involved with two people who are arguing more than need be. Tonight: Could be a late night.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Reach out for an expert or someone at a distance who has experience with the issue you are dealing with. You might need to establish some firm boundaries with a key person. Tonight: Let your mind wander.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Deal on a one-on-one level once more when the discussion involves an emotional or financial risk. Someone might be attempting to wear you down. Tonight: Don’t avoid an important conversation.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your challenging and commanding way might add a tumultuous quality to a relationship. Let go of a need to be in control of others.

Tonight: Sort through your options.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Avoid expressing defensive or hostile feelings. You are reacting to what you think someone said.

Detach. Tonight: Spend time with a playful, fun friend or loved one.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) When everyone else is running around a bit like a chicken with its head cut off, you move in to resolve the issue. Your good mood might be the result of a special tie.

Tonight: Start your weekend early.

or me. The boy used to speak to us, but now runs the other way when he sees us coming.

What can we do about this? Please don’t say talk to the ex-wife. She is the source of the problem.

My boyfriend pays child support but doesn’t get to spend any time with his son. Also, we suspect little of the money is going for the child’s benefit.

— The Girlfriend Dear Girlfriend: Since your boyfriend is still paying child support, he may be entitled to regularly enforced visitation with his son. Also, some courts are beginning to recognize and address parental alienation. Please suggest to your boyfriend that he discuss his options with a lawyer who has experience in this area.
