March madness adds spring to Lobos’ step

by Shaun Griswold shaun24@unm.edu

Jasmine Patterson takes a hard foul from SDSU’s Kaelna Tutt in UNM’s 65-57 win against the Aztecs.

The Lobos advanced to the quarterfinals of the MWC tournament thanks to Patterson’s 21 points in 40 minutes of play.

LAS VEGAS — The Lobos’ seed was unfamiliar, but the outcome was familiar.

The seventh-seeded UNM women’s basketball — unfazed by its lowest seed since the Mountain West Conference’s inception — took its first step toward winning a sixth tournament championship with a 65-57 win over sixth-seeded San UNM 65 Diego State on Tuesday at the Thomas & SDSU 57 Mack Center.

Freshman Jasmine Patterson had a game-high 21 points, and guard Amanda Best pitched in 19 points and 11 rebounds for the Lobos.

“I like March tournaments for some reason,” head coach Don Flanagan said.

“I think our players like March tournaments. Usually our players feel like they want to play more games at this time of the year. They’re not burned out.”

UNM will face a No. 3 Wyoming today at 8 p.m. The Lobos lost both games against Wyoming during the regular season.

Online availability sheds light on salary book errors

by Chelsea Erven

inaccuracies in their listed salaries to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars. The salary book reported that Managing Editor Isaac Avilucea makes $52,000, for example, but he earns a little more than $10,000.

HR projects specialist Ray Sykes said the book costs $32 to produce once a month.

He said HR gathers the list of salaries from UNM’s Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) System, the online Banner system.

UNM’s salary book is published each month by the Division of Human Resources, but a closer look at the book reveals inaccuracies.

Faculty Senate President Richard Wood said the Senate has not fully studied the book but has found incorrect salary listings in its pages.

“Our general belief is that it typically captures UNM employees’ base salaries accurately, but does not reflect any additional compensation,” he said. “It sounds like it’s much less reliable for student and part-time instructor salaries, possibly because they are so constantly rehired.”

The salary book has been the subject of controversy since Daily Lobo Editor-in-Chief Pat Lohmann requested an online version last semester. University officials repeatedly denied the Daily Lobo’s requests. The Albuquerque Journal picked up the story and published an online version of the book on its website, which sparked opinion editorials, letters and questions about the legality of student salaries being published in the book.

The Journal staff published an editorial about the discrepancy between base and actual salaries.

“What’s the difference between ‘compensation’ and ‘pay’? Thousands of dollars, in the case of some top University of New Mexico administrators,” the editorial said.

The salary book does not record car and housing allowances, performance bonuses and compensation, but according to the Journal editorial, UNM will pay more than $1 million in deferred compensation this year.

UNM President David Schmidly, for example, receives $594,600 in annual pay and compensation, but the salary book lists only his base pay of $387,600.

Human Resources Vice President Helen Gonzales did not respond to calls, visits and e-mails over the last week about salary book inaccuracies.

Tran Van Minh / AP Photo Onlookers pull a net to try to catch a turtle as thousands of well-wishers crammed around Hoan Kiem lake in downtown in Hanoi Capital, Vietnam on Tuesday. The giant freshwater turtle has sparked near panic after several recent photos were taken of it surfacing with open sores covering parts of its wrinkled neck and legs. No one has ever before tried to capture it.

Beloved turtle needs rescue

by Tran Van Minh Associated Press

HANOI, Vietnam — Thousands of Vietnamese jostled and climbed trees around a lake in the capital Tuesday hoping to see a rare giant turtle considered sacred by many but in desperate need of medical attention.

Dozens of workers waded chestdeep through the chilly green water in Hanoi’s Hoan Kiem Lake to try to capture the giant freshwater creature for the first time, so it could be pulled to an island and treated. It is one of the world’s most endangered turtles — one of only four Rafeteus swinhoei believed to be alive today — but its value to the nation transcends the natural world.

The turtle traces its roots through hundreds of years of local folklore, and some even believe the animal that lives in the lake today is the same mythical creature said to have helped a Vietnamese king fend off the Chinese nearly six centuries ago.

Madness

In recent days, photos of it surfacing with open pink sores on its wrinkled neck and legs have sparked near panic among the public, with newspapers carrying front-page stories and Internet chatrooms buzzing with opinions. Lesions were also visible on its shell, which stretches 6 feet long (1.8 meters long) and 4 feet wide (1.2 meters wide).

Some experts fear the water in the sewage-filled and trash-strewn lake is slowly killing the turtle, which is thought to weigh about 440 pounds (200 kilograms) and is affectionately called “great-grandfather.” Hundreds of Vietnamese have been working around the clock removing chunks of debris from the lake and pumping in fresh water.

Last week, a small island in the lake was expanded with sandbags to form a platform large enough for the turtle to rest, complete with a little pond. Rescuers were hoping to coax it ashore, but, when it did not emerge on its own, dozens of men

To get there, the Lobos, now 21-6 in the MWC tournament since its inception, took out the defending tournament champs, who made a Sweet 16 appearance last season.

For the first time since 2007, the Aztecs will not appear in the conference championship.

SDSU head coach Beth Burns said her team’s offense sputtered.

“I’m disappointed when we’re not successful, but I’m not surprised,” she said, deadpan.

Both teams were sloppy early on, and it seemed the Lobos forgot to unpack their game.

Five minutes into the contest, UNM had just one basket from the field and were down 10-3.

Then UNM turned the switch and lit up the Thomas & Mack Center with a 17-0 first-half run that gave them a double-digit lead. Forward Jessica Kielpinski’s outside shooting touch sparked the Lobos’ run, as she shot a perfect 2-of-2 from the beyond the 3-point line.

“I think at the beginning of the game we were a little bit flustered,” she said. “With the run, I think we kind of gained a bit of confidence.”

Kielpiniski also cleaned up on the boards and was the catalyst for quick transition buckets. She found open teammates, finishing with 12 points and eight rebounds.

SDSU’s Sajoyia Griffin ended the drought with an inside layup, the Aztecs first points in nearly 10 minutes.

It was more of the same in the second half.

After a Lauren Taylor steal, Patterson took a full-court pass and ran ahead of her defender for an open layup, but a SDSU defender bearhugged Paterson midair and was called for an intentional foul with 7:26 in the second half.

Patterson hit both free throws, took an inbounds pass on the next possession and hit an open jumper to extend the Lobos’ lead to 43-33.

“Jasmine is a scorer,” Flanagan said. “Really, she’s a player that has some limitations skill-wise, because she hasn’t really worked on parts of her game, but she’s a heck of a competitor with a great shot.”

Patterson played all 40 minutes and outplayed SDSU Courtney Clements, who was named the MWC Newcomer of the Year. Clements was 2-of-11 from the field and finished with just five points.

Guard Coco Davis led SDSU in scoring with 15 points, and Paris Johnson had a double-double (14 points and 11 rebounds) in the final game of her college careers. Senior Jessica Bradley sat out because of a violation of team rules.

carrying a large net waded into the water Tuesday to ring it and drag it to the island.

But even with the military involved in the rescue, the turtle managed to slip through the nets and escape, ending Tuesday’s efforts. Officials planned to meet to decide the next steps.

“I’m really glad that I’m part of the rescue operation and, hopefully, it will bring luck to my family,” said Nguyen Thanh Liem, 65, a retired army captain who had helped pull the net along. “I wish that he would be immortal to bless our nation.”

IFDM’s new movie a rewarding work experience Editor, Principal photography for “Haley,” the UNM Interdisciplinary Film and Digital Media program’s groundbreaking movie, wrapped the other day.

It was a fantastic production to be a part of, and it was so much fun to film.

“Haley” is the story of a research geneticist who returns home after the onset of the apocalypse only to find his house destroyed and his wife dead.

Luckily, his robot servant saved the life of his baby daughter, Haley. Ten years later, living in a nuclear winterized shantytown, the bad guys come and kidnap Haley, now 11. Her father sets off to rescue her — battles, cloning and crying ensue.

As an aspiring Albuquerque actor, filming “Haley” was a dream come true.

In addition to running around in a “The Outlaw Josey Wales” meets “Mad Max” type world, and filming imaginary fight sequences against a green screen, the 30 UNM students in the crew were outstanding and a joy to work with.

Our director, senior Jason Ponic was great.

At the onset, I didn’t know him by name, face or reputation. By the end of the shoot, he had taken the top spot as my favorite director. I never once saw him get rattled, always saw him with a smile on his face, and often times saw him with the glint in his eye of someone who knew what his vision was — and knew how to communicate it to his actors.

Other crew members supported him. They were also hardworking, professional in their attitude and passionate.

Evan Bobrick, the affable first A.D is an example.

It was enjoyable watching him develop under the watchful eye of IFDM Professor Charlie O’Dowd.

“Always stay one step ahead of the current shot, Evan,” I overheard O’Dowd say.

“Remember, every time 90 seconds is wasted here or there, multiply that by a cast and crew of 30 people, and that equals 45 minutes wasted, and time equals money.”

Actually, time did not equal money on this particular set, because no one got paid.

But like college football players, it wasn‘t about the money. It was about the passion, which more than made up for the lack of pay.

We had our share of trials and tribulations, of course.

We had freezing cold weather, the prolonged din of passing Rail Runner trains when we filmed at the rail-yard, some uncooperative ducks and a homeless individual who kept disrupting the set and stole a PA’s purse.

The film is now in “post-production.” The YouTube trailer and Facebook page, “Haley” (film)” are online. The IMDB page will be up soon, too.

Seniors, including Ryan Romero and Jeremy Bernstein, will spend the next month or so using their wizardry to add the computer-generated robot plus other visual effects to the film.

Others are creating a “making of” the video, as well as a “Haley” video game app. Following that will be the exciting premiere (hopefully at the Hard Rock Casino), followed by submissions to film festivals such as Sundance, Cannes, Toronto and Tribeca.

The crew members are definitely this production’s unsung heroes.

Everyone chipped in. Everyone was treated with respect. Everyone “showed up,” and everyone mattered. There was a lot of camaraderie. This production, and any success it enjoys, belongs to them.

Column

Process, not policy in license debate

by Rep. Bill O’Neill

Daily Lobo Guest Columnist It has been an intense week in the House chamber of our state Legislature: razor-thin voting margins, unprecedented parliamentary procedures, three calls of the House for three straight days.

The politically and emotionally charged issue of giving driver’s licenses to foreign nationals was at the heart of last week’s events. It is an issue that has been brewing since Gov. Susana Martinez began campaigning for office.

I heard voters voice similar concerns during my re-election campaign. I am as concerned as anyone about New Mexico being a staging ground for illegal immigration.

The stories I have heard from my constituents, read in the paper or watched on the news are chilling.

That is why I introduced House Bill 346 to help curb criminals using our existing licensing requirements to commit fraud. It was one of three that was discussed and deliberated during a proper House committee hearing.

It was ultimately tabled because of textual issues within the bill. The other two bills saw the same fate.

I was confident that I would be able to revisit my bill, address the issues brought by the committee and present a stronger bill that would withstand scrutiny from the House, Senate and governor.

Unfortunately, I never got that chance. A rare procedural move “blasted” one of the other two tabled bills onto the House floor where lengthy discussion ensued.

Our floor debate on this issue was respectfully heated on both sides, but parliamentary maneuvering by both parties made the process frustrating.

I had major problems with some of the specifics of my colleague Rep. Andy Nuñez’s House Bill 78, and like many of my colleagues, I welcomed discussing those concerns. My name was on the board for hours to speak on the specifics of the bill, but time ran out before I got the chance, and the vote was called.

If I had been given the opportunity to engage my colleague on the floor, I would have asked him his reasoning for voting for the original 2003 legislation that he now wanted to entirely reverse.

What about the public safety issue? Has that magically gone away in eight years, the reason that I presume he voted for the 2003 bill? What of the notion of having uninsured and undocumented foreign nationals driving their children to school, driving themselves to work — in short, being unleashed on our highways without the ability to get insurance?

I was not given an opportunity to have that discourse and had to make the decision after over six hours of deliberation. I voted with my convictions. I made what I felt was a hard, responsible decision.

The heart of the matter was that House Bill 78 was well-intentioned, to be sure, but seriously flawed.

For example, if HB 78 were to pass, the husbands, wives and children of many of our state’s foreign-born engineers at our national labs would be at immediate risk of being deported. HB 78 would also add a burden to our senior citizens: New Mexico residents older than 65 who wish to exchange their driver’s license for an ID card would be lumped into the same category as “illegal immigrants” and would have to go through the same bureaucratic steps to prove their legitimate residency.

The administrative cost of HB 78 remains unknown, and it still does not place us in full compliance with the Real ID Act of 2005.

On that day, I voted for a floor amendment proposed that I felt was far superior to HB 78.

It narrowly failed in a 36-34 vote. Offered as bipartisan compromise by Democratic Floor Leader Ken Martinez (D-Grants), it incorporated elements from several driver’s license bills introduced this session, including my own HB 346 and Republican Bill Rehm’s (RAlbuquerque) HB 261.

This compromise bill would have revoked falsely issued driver’s licenses. It would also have made it a third-degree felony for an MVD employee to issue a fraudulent license, and it would mandate a two-year expiration for any license issued to a foreign national.

Since the vote, I have borne a great deal of criticism as a result of my vote.

It is somehow assumed that I embrace the status quo and that I do not feel a legislative remedy is warranted. I have received e-mails and letters from impassioned constituents questioning my vote and political stance. I do not take my constituents’ input lightly. However, I am committed to the public’s safety and clamping down on fraud.

Immigration policy is a federal issue, and we all can acknowledge our federal government has not met this responsibility.

Hence we find ourselves, along with other states, grappling with the results of this abdication of responsibility. The good news in New Mexico is that there is still time in our legislative session for both parties (and the lone DTS) to come together and send a smart and effective driver’s license bill to Gov. Martinez to sign.

Rep. Bill O’Neill represents New Mexico’s 15th district.

Even slave traders can change their evil ways Editor, John Newton was a brutal slave trader more than 200 years ago.

He purchased slaves along the coast of Africa. He chained them in dark, stifling, hellish conditions for weeks below deck on his slave

ship. He later confessed that scores of these African men, women and youth died from his miserable confinement, and they were buried in the ocean.

Newton is guilty of kidnapping, torturing and murdering human beings. He committed horrendous crimes against humanity.

But eventually Newton repented, and he turned from his evil past. He became an eloquent, strong leader of the movement to abolish slavery. He changed from a brutal slave

trader to a committed crusader against slavery. He wrote the words to the beloved song, “Amazing Grace.”

“Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see.”

No matter what evil we have done in our past, we can change!

MARCH MADNESS Carli Sue Flores/ AP Photo A fire burns Monday just north of Tyrone, N.M. Officials say winds were picking up Tuesday afternoon, renewing concerns about a wildfire that has destroyed 12 homes and several other structures and forced the evacuations of 100 people.

Winds pick up as acres burn Associated Press SILVER CITY, — New Mexico officials say winds were picking up Tuesday afternoon, renewing concerns about a wildfire that has destroyed 12 homes and several other structures and forced the evacuations of 100 people.

State Forestry spokesman Dan Ware said the fire in a rugged rural area south of Silver City had burned nearly 1,800 acres, or almost 3 square miles, by Tuesday afternoon. That's up from 500-1,000 acres burned as of Monday night.

Fire crews dealt with hot spots throughout Tuesday morning when fire activity was light, and two air tankers dropped fire retardant on the flames. High winds had prevented water-dropping helicopters or planes from flying after the blaze started Monday afternoon.

Officials held a public meeting in Silver City at noon Tuesday to address residents' concerns and give an overview of the firefighting efforts. Later in the afternoon, the officials had compiled a list of the

addresses that had either been destroyed or damaged by the flames as they raced through grass, scrub oak and pinon and juniper trees.

Ware said crews on the ground assessed what was lost or damaged before meeting privately with homeowners.

Darrell Britton told Albuquerque television station KOAT that he lost his home in the fire.

"I had to get out of here because it was coming fast," he said. "I didn't even look back. I just got out of here."

The fire continued to threaten an estimated 500 structures Tuesday, not all of them homes.

It was listed as 20 percent contained. Officials hoped to have it fully contained by 6 p.m. Wednesday.

Authorities say the Quail Ridge fire is human caused, but they have not made an exact determination of how it happened.

"It was a wind-driven event that put us in a defensive mode," said Grant County fire management officer Gary Benavidez told the Silver City Daily Press. "(The fire) ran through that grass savannah extremely fast.

DNA testing one step closer to law

by Barry Massey Associated Press

SANTA FE — A proposal to expand DNA testing to those arrested for any felony passed the House on Tuesday.

The legislation is a key piece of Republican Gov. Susana Martinez’s legislative agenda.

A 2006 state law requires DNA samples of those arrested of certain violent felonies, such as murder, kidnapping and sex offenses.

“We must give law enforcement the best possible tools to prevent crime and convict criminals, and requiring DNA samples from those arrested for felonies is simply the modern-day equivalent of fingerprinting,” the governor said in a statement after the bill cleared the House.

The legislation will expand what’s called “Katie’s Law” in memory of Kathryn Sepich, a New Mexico State University student who was raped and murdered in 2003. Sepich’s killer was identified more than three years

later with DNA evidence after he was convicted of another crime.

Martinez was district attorney in Las Cruces when the murder happened.

The bill passed the House on a 5513 vote and was sent to the Senate, where a similar proposal is pending.

Under the measure, suspects 18 and older will have to provide DNA samples — from a cheek swab, for example — when they’re booked at jails for any felony.

Supporters said the expanded testing can help prevent crimes.

“If we can start by matching these criminals up to their previous crimes, we can stop them from getting out on a minor felony and committing future crimes,” said Rep. Al Park, D-Albuquerque.

A dozen states, including Virginia and California, require DNA samples of all those arrested for felonies.

But opponents contend the testing violates a person’s right to privacy and could cause police to make arrests on a pretext to obtain a DNA sample.

“There is a right of privacy because everybody is considered innocent until proven guilty,” said Rep. David Chavez, R-Los Lunas.

It went over Quail Ridge Road like it wasn't even there."

Benavidez, who has had a long career in fire management, called the fire a worst-case scenario.

"It's the fire we've been talking about for years that could happen," he said. "This is what we've been trying to prevent. We've got a lot of fuels (dry grass and other vegetation), and we're in a drought."

The Federal Emergency Management Agency early Tuesday approved a grant that will cover 75 percent of the cost of fighting the fire.

PHILADELPHIA— The Philadelphia archdiocese on Tuesday suspended 21 Roman Catholic priests who were named as child molestation suspects in a scathing grand jury report last month, a move that comes more than eight years after U.S. bishops pledged swift action to keep potential abusers away from young people.

The priests have been removed from ministry while their cases are reviewed, Cardinal Justin Rigali said. The names of the priests were not being released, a spokesman for the archdiocese said. “These have been difficult weeks since the release of the grand jury report,� Rigali said in a statement. “Difficult most of all for victims of sexual abuse but also for all Catholics and for everyone in our community.�

The two-year grand jury investigation into priest abuse in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia resulted in charges against two priests, a former priest and a Catholic school teacher who are accused of raping young boys. And in an unprecedented move in the U.S., a former highranking church official was accused

of transferring problem priests to new parishes without warning anyone of prior sex-abuse complaints.

Since 2002, when the national abuse crisis erupted in the Archdiocese of Boston, American dioceses have barred hundreds of accused clergy from public church work or removed the men permanently from the priesthood. The allegations against the Pennsylvania priests stand out because they come years after the U.S. bishops reformed their national child protection policies, promising to keep potential abusers from children.

The grand jury named 37 priests who remained in active ministry despite credible allegations of sexual abuse. After the release of the report, the second such investigation in the city in six years, Rigali vowed to take its calls for further reforms seriously.

Besides the 21 priests placed on leave Tuesday, three others named by the grand jury were suspended a week after the report’s release in February. There were five other priests who would have been suspended: one who was already on leave, two who are “incapacitated and have not been in active ministry� and two who no longer are priests in the archdiocese but are now members of another religious

order that was not identified. “The archdiocese has notified the superiors of their religious orders and the bishops of the dioceses where they are residing,� the cardinal said.

The remaining eight priests of the 37 in the report were not being put on leave because the latest examination of their cases “found no further investigation is warranted,�

Rigali said. “I know that for many people their trust in the church has been shaken,� Rigali stated. “I pray that the efforts of the archdiocese to address these cases of concern and to re-evaluate our way of handling allegations will help rebuild that trust.�

In 2005, a grand jury said that there was evidence of abuse by at least 63 priests and that church officials had transferred offenders to other parishes and dioceses. While the archdiocese then formed a panel to handle abuse complaints, the 2011 grand jury found it mostly worked to protect the church, not the victims.

Rigali responded by retaining former city child-abuse prosecutor Gina Maisto Smith to re-examine complaints made against the activeduty priests that internal church investigators previously said they could not substantiate.

mwc tournament

‘Third time’s the charm’ for Air Force

by Ryan Tomari

rtomari@unm.edu

Robert Maes / Daily Lobo Air Force’s Megan Muniz and CSU’s Bonnie Barbee scramble for the ball as the AFA bench looks on. The No. 9 Falcons upset the No. 4 Rams 66-63 in the first game of the MWC tournament in Las Vegas.

DAILY LOBO

LAS VEGAS — Of all things, it was a 1981 hit song that inspired the Air Force women’s team to earn its second-ever Mountain West Conference tournament win.

Shaking up the bracket, the ninthseeded Falcons defeated fourth-seeded Colorado State 66-63 in the first game of the women’s MWC tournaAFA 66 ment on Tuesday.

63 CSU AFA senior guard Raimee Beck hit a 3-pointer with 1:24 left to put AFA up 65-63, and the Falcons came up with critical defensive stops on Colorado’s last six possessions to ensure their victory.

“Funny story,” Beck said. “…When we were coming out of the Hard Rock hotel today, Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ was playing. I think that’s our new song, ‘Don’t Stop Believing.’”

For now the dream continues, with

the Falcons set to take on fifth-seeded Utah today at 6:30 Mountain time. Before Tuesday, the Falcons were 1-11 in the MWC tournament, their last win coming in 2007 against — guess who?

— Colorado State.

AFA first-year head coach Andrea Williams said the win was phenomenal for the Falcons, given it was against an in-state rival.

“Our team was fired up and focused,” she said. “We put it all together at the right time, and it’s just one of those things we wanted to show what we could do for the year: Beat Colorado State this time. Third time’s the charm for us.”

Beck was also the Falcons’ lucky charm.

She stepped up defensively in the game’s waning seconds and had a key block on CSU’s Kim Mestdagh, whose 3-point attempt could’ve tied the game.

When it wasn’t Beck, the Rams — who played the conference season without a dominant post player

— were beat up by AFA’s Alicia Leipprandt. Leipprandt had a game-high 26 points and was 10-of-26 from the field.

After starting the first 10 games of the season, Leipprandt was later benched for conference play, before returning to the starting lineup against UNM. Williams said it was time to reinsert Leipprandt.

“I finally got a clue,” she said. “The civilians decided to go even smaller in the pots and put her at the four. “ Picked to finish eighth in the conference’s preseason poll, CSU ended the season in fourth place.

Rams head coach Kristen Holt said Air Force played scrappier.

“They took us out of our rhythm,” she said. “We really couldn’t get (one shot) in. I thought we did pretty good coming out in the second half, got some buckets, went ahead a few times, but I have to give them a lot of credit.”

e k a S & UNLV suffers loss at home Sushi Kore a mwc tournament

by Ryan Tomari

LAS VEGAS — The Thomas & Mack Center crowd couldn’t help the home team Tuesday.

Fifth-seeded Utah took out the eighth-seeded UNLV women’s basketball team 55-44 in the first round of the Mountain West Conference tournament.

First-year head coach Anthony Levrets earned his first MWC tournament victory, after replacing former head coach Elaine Elliott who took a leave of absence before the season started. Three days after losing to UNLV 51-47 in Vegas, the Utes bounced back to advance, and they’ll face ninth-seeded Air Force today.

Levrets said league play can be frustrating because everyone knows everyone’s style.

“I thought our kids really battled,” he said. “We just played this team on Saturday, and we lost to them. This time Utah 55 of year, you know UNLV 44 every team that you play, and they know you well ...We knew it was going to be a dogfight.”

The game tied at 42 with 2:08 left, Utah’s Iwalani Rodrigues hit a 3-pointer to put the Utes up 45-42. Utah never looked back.

Rodrigues said she knew the shot was going in.

“It was really big, and I’m happy it went in,” she said. “Anthony always tells me I’m a shooter, and there was a point in time when I made so many, then you miss. So I just went back to the 3-point line and started and it fell.”

Junior guard Janita Badon finished with 10 points and 17 rebounds.

“I saw how hard my teammates were playing and I just wanted to do the same,” she said.

Rex Larsen / AP Photo Teammates sit near the casket during the funeral of Wes Leonard, 16, of Fennville, at Christ Memorial Church on Tuesday in Holland, Mich. Leonard died last week after making a gamewinning shot during a high school basketball game to preserve his team’s perfect record.

Associated Press HOLLAND, Mich. — Classmates, coaches and former opponents were among the mourners who filled a southwest Michigan church Tuesday to celebrate the short life of a teen athlete who friends and family say will have a long-lasting impact.

Many of the more than 1,500 people at Wes Leonard’s funeral wore orange ribbons, and some released orange and black balloons outside the church, mirroring the colors of the Fennville High team that he made a game-winning shot for last week before collapsing on the basketball court.

The night before they paid tribute to Leonard at the church, his teammates honored the 16-year-old junior as they played through their

grief to win their first game in the state Class C tournament.

Those who knew the “larger than life” football and basketball star always recognized that he was special, even apart from sports, his uncle, Jim Leonard, said during the church service. National attention in the wake of Leonard’s death has touted his character to a far broader audience.

“It’s just amazing that now the whole world knows how special he was,” Jim Leonard said at Christ Memorial Church. “Wes will not be forgotten.”

Leonard died of cardiac arrest from an enlarged heart last Thursday, moments after his shot gave the undefeated Blackhawks a victory to wrap up the regular

Student death prompts change

(505) 508-3229 Nob Hill Court 3712 Central Ave SE Suite D www.01sc.net

Sam Werner / AP Photo A hydraulic scissor lift lies on its side near the Notre Dame football field in South Bend, Ind., following an accident in which a student filmmaker was killed when the lift toppled, in this Oct. 28 file photo provided by the Notre Dame Observer. The University of Notre Dame said Tuesday it is halting the use of hydraulic lifts to film football practices and will install remote-controlled cameras instead as part of a safety push spurred by the student’s death.

Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. — Notre Dame announced Tuesday that it will no longer use hydraulic lifts for videographers at football practices, five months after a student fell to his death when one of the machines toppled over on a windy day.

The school said it will instead use remote-controlled cameras — a system the Rev. John Jenkins, Notre Dame’s president, said fulfills a pledge made after Declan Sullivan died.

“I said in the days after Declan’s death that we would do everything in our power to make changes to ensure that such an accident does not happen again — here or elsewhere,” Jenkins said in a prepared statement.

The Indiana Occupational Health and Safety Administration is still investigating what caused the lift holding Sullivan to fall as he filmed practice on Oct. 27. The National Weather Service reported gusts of up to 51 mph at the time. State officials have said they are looking at whether federal and state workplace

University spokesman Dennis Brown said the school believes it will be the first to use such a remote video system at outdoor practices. The system was designed by XOS Digital in the wake of Sullivan’s death.

“We went to XOS last November and said, ‘Is there any way to eliminate the use of hydraulic lifts?’”

Brown said.

The challenge, he said, was to eliminate vibrations on a camera so high up. The boxes holding the cameras have a heating element to control the temperature and there is a wiper to clear the lens.

The university will continue to use two permanent structures on the sidelines of the practice fields for filming.

Jenkins has said the university is responsible for Sullivan’s death because it failed to protect him. A message seeking comment was left Tuesday by The Associated Press for Sullivan’s uncle, Mike Miley, who has served as family spokesman.

Jenkins said the university is talking with the Sullivan family about a memorial for Sullivan.

some of Leonard’s good-natured antics and dares at church groups and on family trips.

Classes were canceled Tuesday in the district, which has been grieving since Leonard’s death.

“It’s just been really tough...not having Wes at school has just been really hard,” said Marcos Vega, a Fennville student. “Wes was always a happy kid. He always had a smile on his face.”

The Rev. Gary Peterson, the pastor of Fennville United Methodist Church, recalled Leonard’s love for sports, the outdoors and his Christian faith. Since last week, Peterson said many teenagers have told him about Leonard’s strong faith and how he treated others with compassion and love.

“Wes loved life,” Peterson said.

“He loved the world around him and the people he came into contact

with. He looked for the goodness.”

Sports was a dominant theme in Leonard’s life, and the funeral program listed sections of the memorial as first quarter, second quarter, halftime, third quarter, fourth quarter and “final victory.”

Mourners saw video tributes to Leonard that showed him playing football and basketball along with photos of him outside of athletics.

Flowers, including a wreath with orange flowers, surrounded his casket.

The funeral ended with a rap song inspired by Leonard called “Blackhawk Down.”

Some of the lyrics: “They say the good die young, wish this was a dream,” and “You’re in the sky where the real stars belong.”

The Blackhawks, at 21-0, are one of the highest-rated Class C teams in the state headed into Wednesday’s second round district game.

season.

Opponents said they admired Leonard’s game-winning feats in basketball and football — he also was the Fennville football team’s star quarterback — but they also respected his grace, sportsmanship and leadership.

“No negativity,” said Devin Brock, a Bloomingdale basketball player who competed against Fennville, said of Leonard. “He was always positive.”

Fennville is a town of about 1,400 near Lake Michigan, but the school district covers a broader area. A bus from the Gobles and Bloomingdale districts arrived at the funeral with more than 70 students. Many other school districts were represented as well.

There were tears, but there also were laughs at Tuesday’s service as friends and family remembered

safety rules and industry standards might have been violated, including a federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration rule barring workers from using scaffolds during storms or high winds.

Authorities also are reviewing whether Sullivan, 20, of Long Grove, Ill., received training before using the lift.

Notre Dame is conducting its own investigation and Peter Likins, former president of the University of Arizona, has agreed to provide an independent review.

The new system will include four cameras mounted on 50-foot-high poles and operated from a control room across the street in the Guglielmino Athletics Complex, where the football offices are housed.

Workers on Tuesday were putting the first pole into a 7-foot-deep hole to anchor it in place.

On each side of the boxes that hold the cameras is a shamrock with the initials DS in the middle to honor Sullivan — the same insignia the Fighting Irish players wore on their helmets in the games following Sullivan’s death.
