State news

DES MOINES — Democratic state senators who had been pushing for more money for ed-ucation said Monday they’d given up and agreed to Republican demands to freeze spending on local schools next year as part of a new $5.9 billion state budget.The Democrats had argued for weeks that no increase in education spending would amount to a “starvation diet” for local schools, but they conceded Monday at a Statehouse news conference they couldn’t win the fight. While Democrats have a majority in the Iowa Senate, Republicans control the House and governor’s office.“We’ve accepted the real-ity that we don’t think there’s any way the House is going to move on that subject,” said Senate Majority Leader Michael Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs.Gov. Terry Branstad and other Republicans insisted previously that they’d already compromised on the issue by including a 2 percent spending increase for schools in the second year of

their two-year budget proposal. The 2 percent increase would boost state spending on schools by $60 million.Gronstal said Senate commit-tees would begin crafting mea-sures to flesh out the budget Monday, with the full Senate taking up the issue on Tuesday. The Republican plan has already passed the House.Democrats said they’d already made major concessions by agreeing to a one-year freeze on school spending, an overall spending limit of $5.9 billion and a two-year spending plan. They said they will push for a 3 per-cent increase in school spending in the second year of the budget.“We’ve got a little negotiating remaining, we’re going to con-tinue to fight over those things,” Gronstal said.One of the differences remaining is paying for preschool programs in the state. The House has pushed for $35 million, down from the current $70 million. Gronstal said the Democratic package would spend $59

million.“We think a level lower than that jeopardizes preschool in scores of districts across the state of Iowa,” he said. “It simply will not exist.”Iowa provides free preschool for all families who want it. Branstad had been pushing to have families pay according to their income.Members of the two parties have agreed on nearly half of the policy issues within the state budget proposal, Gronstal said.Sen. Bob Dvorsky, D-Coralville, who heads the Senate Appropriations Committee, also said Democrats had compro-mised a lot after beginning the bargaining with a proposed budget of $6.2 billion. “The budget compromise is a balanced budget that does not raise taxes, keeps our savings accounts full and continues helping Iowans recover from the national recession,” Dvorsky said.

The supply of sand used to fill hundreds of thousands of bags needed to fight off the swollen Missouri River is running low after weeks of relent-less flooding. It’s a problem that could get worse as the river is expected to remain high through August, making it unsafe to gather sand from the easiest place to get it: the river itself.The sand shortage comes as the bloated river rose to within 18 inches of forcing the shutdown of Cooper Nuclear Plant at Brownville, Neb. It stopped and ebbed slightly Monday, a reprieve caused by levee breaches in northwest Missouri.Flooding is a concern all along the river because of the massive amounts of water that the Army Corps of Engineers has released from six dams. Any sig-nificant rain could worsen the flooding especially if it falls in Nebraska, Iowa or Missouri, which are downstream of the dams.

During the next few days, the river is expected to rise as much as 5 to 7 feet above flood stage in much of Nebraska and Iowa, and as much as 10 feet over flood stage in parts of Missouri. It could stay above flood stage into August.The Army Corps of Engineers is monitoring the sand supply, said Jud Kneuvean, chief of emergen-cy management for the corps’ Kansas City District. He said a ton of sand produces about 60 sandbags. Sand also is piled along weakened areas of levees to prevent seepage.“You need lots of sand, lots of sand,” Kneuvean said.In a pinch, other materials can be used — every-thing from gravel to lime products.

2010 stats show crime dipCmdr. Jim Robinson of the Ames Police Department said the crime rate often fluctuates, and there are multiple exmplanations for its variance. Graphic: Samantha Barbour/Iowa State Daily

Statistics compiled by the Ames Police Department indi-cate that Ames’ overall crime rate, based on the annual number of arrests, decreased slightly from 2009 to 2010.

According to the report, a total of 2,950 arrests were made in 2009. In 2010, 2494 arrests were made.

Alcohol violations were the most common offense, fol-lowed by theft and vandalism.

The number of reported sexual assaults dropped from 66 to 54. There have been no homi-cides since 2008.

Cmdr. Jim Robinson of the Ames police said there are multiple explanations for crime rate variance. Random fluctuation is to be expected.

“What we’re more con-cerned about is a trend — is it something we start seeing from year to year? Is there something out of the average?” Robinson said. “There maybe could be extra events occur-ring within our community. For example, every other year you have the Iowa/Iowa State game, and more activity cor-relates to more arrest. That could have more impact on the

statistics.”Since official crime figures

are based only on reported cases and actual arrests, they may underrepresent the true incidence of crimes.

The Ames Police Department’s “safe neighbor-hood teams” help prevent crime, Robinson said.

“They’ve taken over ac-tivities that our older party response teams were in-volved in,” Robinson said. “Their focus is community involvement.”

For example, the teams might explain noise ordinanc-es to party hosts so they aren’t charged with disturbing the

Facilities

Scheman reopening is imminent

Iowa State Center officials will be reopening the first floor of the Scheman Building after complet-ing necessary renovations. The renovations were made due to past flooding.

“This work was completed as a response to the flood mitigation,” said Iowa State Center Executive Director Mark North.

The renovations have neces-sitated the relocation of offices in Scheman and created more space where the old offices were located.

“Our offices are now on the first floor,” North said. “Our old offices will be these large meeting and executive board spaces.

“One large meeting space that can accommodate around 130

people on the south side on the ground floor.”

When the renovations are fin-ished, there will be more rooms for meetings big and small.

“We’ve added one large meet-ing room on the south side of ground floor,” North said. “On the north side, we’ve added a new ex-ecutive board room with an adja-

cent room space that can be used for small receptions.

“We’ve added about 4500 square feet of brand-new meeting space.”

peace, Robinson said.“We also work with the Iowa State

University police department and the Story County sheriff’s office,” Robinson said. “When we have a serious crime in our community, such as a homicide, we will team our investigators up with the department of criminal investigation.”

“It’s really important to develop those re-lationships and build them throughout the years,” he said.

The Ames police is quick to respond to dis-tress calls.

“We have officers that are positioned in different zones or patrol areas throughout the community,” Robinson said. “Once a call is received by our officers, it’s within a matter of seconds to minutes that they will be able to re-spond and arrive on the scene.”

Ames police officers are required to stay up-to-date on criminal investigation techniques.

“Training is very, very important, and our investigators within the criminal investiga-tion division receive intensive and advanced training in homicide investigation, interviews and interrogations, robbery, domestic abuse training and child abuse training,” Robinson said.

Robinson said that crime prevention “has to be a cooperation between the residents and our officers.” He suggested that all citizens help by locking their cars and houses and keeping their garage doors down at night.

Statistics for the first half of 2011 were not available.

A group of 32 landscape architecture students recently helped officials associated with the Des Moines Water Works create Parkitecture, an international design competi-tion for Water Works Park.

“It’s an international de-sign competition open for professional designers, and that would include architects, landscape architects, design-ers [and] planners, as well as students in professional de-sign programs — similar to what Iowa State has,” said Carl Roger, associate professor of landscape architecture. “It’s a

competition to develop some creative ideas for a vision plan for Water Works Park, which is a 1,500-acre park ... in the heart of [Des Moines].”

Students help devise contest

rolled in Roger’s Landscape Architecture 441 professional practice course had the op-portunity to conduct historical research on Water Works Park so they could prepare the brief for the competition, as well as create the “Parkitecture” website.

Rogers learned of the proj-ect from someone working at the water treatment plant in Des Moines. After being asked to help in reviewing a proposal to issue out to professional designers, Rogers made the suggestion that it would be a great project for a design com-petition. Rogers met with the Water Works Park director

over winter break and pitched his idea of making the Water Works Park project a design competition open to students. The competition is divided into two stages, the first of which began June 8.

“The first stage is open to anybody to develop some ideas. There’s a website they’ll submit their entries on by October 3, and then we have a nine-member jury that will review those preliminaries and select between three and five finalists. Those finalists will be invited to Des Moines

for a week in November to develop their proposals, and they’ll meet with the Des Moines Water Works board of trustees, other community members and officials,” said Rogers. “[In the second stage] the jury will reconvene, evalu-ate those proposals and select one winner in probably late December, and from there the Des Moines Water Works board of trustees will take the initiative to work into a design contract or work.”

Much of the students’ work went into preparing for this

first stage of the competition. The objective of their work was, as part of a professional practice course, to gain a bet-ter understanding of what goes into developing a career in landscape architecture.

“It’s a professional prac-tice class that looks at the ca-reer of a landscape architect ... from getting a job, working with a portfolio or resume, making contacts, getting the job, having an interview, get-ting selected and starting to

work at a firm,” said Rogers. “I brought the project in to class just to use it as a tool to talk about all of these topics within professional practice. The stu-dents worked on the project in conjunction with other class assignments.”

The students’ role in devel-oping the competition allowed them to learn of various is-sues landscape architect must consider.

“The issues that are cur-rent in landscape architecture — river hydrology, ecological design, public space — all of those issues we talk about in design studio, this park proj-ect has an immense opportu-nity to really raise awareness for the city and state,” Rogers said. “And so, having students work on the project prior to design ... is a little different [of an] experience but a little more enriching experience. They could understand something

more than just doing a design project.”

Part of the students’ work in preparing the brief for the competition was conduct-ing historical research about Water Works Park. They re-searched historical archives and toured the site to help them develop the context of the project. Since water pro-tection and water treatment are core objectives of the Des Moines Water Works, stu-dents looked closely at these

aspects when preparing the brief for designers. The proj-ect aims to raise awareness of Water Works Park as part of the water supply of Des Moines and increase the value of the park for recreational, educational and practical pur-poses, Rogers said.

Working with Water Works Park and the city of Des Moines on such projects is something that Rogers sees as an opportunity to continue the learning experiences of land-

scape architecture students.“It’s a really interesting

opportunity to create a part-nership between Des Moines Water Works, Iowa State, the Department of Landscape Architecture and students to work collaboratively to create the structure for the project,” Rogers said. “I think there’s an immense opportunity in working as a department of landscape architecture in edu-cating students to engage in communities.”

The opportunity has ben-efited not only the landscape architecture students at Iowa State, but also the Des Moines Water Works, said Randy Beaver, CEO and gen-eral manager of Des Moines Water Works. “It’s been a very positive experience. The stu-dents have brought a unique perspective to the project.” . we’re looking forward to some successful proposals being submitted in the fall,” Beavers said.

Parents, not cops, at fault in lemonade fiasco

Sen. Shawn Hamerlinck issued an apology last week for telling a group of students who visited the Capitol to

discuss budget issues to go home and leave the political circus to the elected officials.

I find myself asking, “What apology?” The statement he issued was more insulting than his original comments. Not for one rea-son, or a couple, or a few. There are several reasons your ire should be raised.

The apology he issued stated that the “Senate education hearing was no excep-tion [to the rule that political activists have agendas] as speakers and speeches prolifer-ated a specific ideology that supported Iowa Senate Democrats’ education expenditure levels and were void of any discussion on student achievement and preparedness for competing in the global economy.”

This line of thinking is just plain para-doxical and inconsistent with itself. To say that the consulted students simply regurgi-tated Democratic or other partisan talking points is to say that the students cannot think and are unintelligent. It ignores any shred of potential validity in what they said or tried to convey, and projects onto them character traits about which the senator is unqualified to give an opinion.

Such a statement also indicates that the education system in this state is broken, a failure, or otherwise inadequate. That inadequacy follows decades of funding cuts, tuition increases, increasing use of standardized tests and admissions criteria,

and disinterestedness from lawmakers who trust that, set in motion, the economy will take care of itself.

It seems to me that when students have to worry about working dozens of hours each week to pay their tuition bills or paying their beloved Accounts Receivable offices with tens of thousands of dollars in student loans, their academic performance suffers. I know mine has whenever I’ve been preoc-cupied with other matters.

If the people of the state of Iowa feel education is important — which it is, in both economically and civically — then they should be willing to fund it accordingly. Students should pay their fair share, but ordinary Iowans have a stake in an educated population too.

Senator Hamerlinck also wrote in his apology that his “goal has always been to keep students out of the political fray in order for them to form their own opinions and ideologies.”

There are several problems with this as well. Ideologies are just bad. Ideologies are sets of presuppositions about how the world works. All too often, those presuppositions go hand in hand with dogmatic unwilling-ness to consider other opinions — to reject them out of hand without any political interaction. Ideologies kill the kind of work Senator Hamerlinck and his colleagues are supposed to be doing in Des Moines.

Clearly though, they’ve failed. I spent the previous three sessions working at the

legislature, and each year the Republicans, myself included, always bitched at the Democrats for staying until 2 a.m. and dragging the session a week past the last scheduled day. Now the Grand Old Party is in power, and the length of the session is now nearly fifty percent longer than it was originally supposed to be.

Opinions cannot be formed except in a process of trial and error. Informed ones are the product of honest exchanges of ideas. They require the presence of other opinions to be refined and developed into coher-ent ideas that appeal to others. If students isolate themselves from public affairs, they will never be well-informed enough to make the educated decisions any polity needs to survive. They will be disinterested and apathetic.

Senator Hamerlinck should not want to shelter students from the perils and cynicism of modern politics. Even if politics isn’t the way it should be, it is what it is. And to interact with it, we need to know how it works. We need to go out and experience it. Ignoring a less-than-ideal situation will not make it go away.

To shape the broken system, students need to visit the Capitol, talk with legislators and their staff, go to campaign stops, write letters and talk amongst themselves. To make the broken system more like an ideal one, they need to do the same. If the system is to be changed in any way at all, it needs to be acted upon.

Some children set up a lemonade stand near the site of the U.S. Open on the corner of a busy intersection, intending to raise money for charity.

County inspectors shut down the stand and fined the parents $500, after warning them about the necesity of obtaining a ven-dor’s license.

Children shouldn’t be required to know all laws, but their parents shouldn’t expect that just because children are involved the law can be subverted.

Teaching kids right from wrong is basic parenting. The parents should have checked to be certain that the childrens’ operation of the stand was legal, or at the least thought about potential threats to the safety of their customers.

Due to the “outrage” of the public and unfavorable media coverage, county officials later allowed the stand to reopen 100 feet away from the intersection and waived the fine.

This decision only shows how much people do not understand the need for adher-ence to the law. There was a safety issue, and the permit requirements helped keep nonlicensed vendors from horning in on the vendors that did pay.

The parents have just shown their chil-dren that the law is not a concern until you get slapped with a violation. That is not the message children need. Even if it might be confusing, it is the duty of the parents to explain the law so children grow up respect-ing it.

During public hearings involving the state’s budget and its affect on education, Republican State Senator Shawn Hamerlinck of Dixon told some college students that he did not want them coming to Des Monies to petition the committee of which he is a member.

He also told them that they should go home and graduate. In dismissing these young people and their concerns, Hamerlinck ended his lecturing sermon by calling for more than their ready compliance; he asked for servile acceptance: “Leave the circus to us, OK?”

No, it is not OK. Hamerlinck does not appear to understand the implications of his

having taken an oath of office to uphold the Constitution and the laws made pursuant thereof. These students, like all Iowans and Americans, have a constitutionally assured right to petition their government.

The Iowa Constitution’s Bill of Rights guar-antees that “The people have the right freely to assemble together to counsel for the common good; to make known their opinions to their representatives, and to petition for a redress of grievances.”

This is in accord with The Constitution of the United States of America, which states, “... the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Sen. Hamerlinck might want to take note of the motto on Iowa’s state flag: “Our Liberties We Prize, and Our Rights We will Maintain.”

Fred Hoiberg’s 2011-2012 Iowa State men’s basketball squad is now on cam-pus and beginning to prepare for a much-anticipated season with the infusion of some talented transfers, as well as new freshmen.

Although NCAA rules prohibit coach-es from working with players until the middle of July, the entire team is already taking part in voluntary pickup games and workouts.

“A lot of guys have already been in the gym a lot,” said Cyclone guard Chris Allen. “It’s just a great feeling that the whole team is in the gym instead of just one or two people.”

This collection of players has been a long time in the making. Allen made his way to Ames after transferring from Michigan State.

Two other two ex-Big Ten players will join him on the court: Royce White from the University of Minnesota, and Chris Babb, who started his career at Penn State.

Big man Anthony Booker, a transfer

from Southern Illinois, rounds out the list of transfer students hoping to make an impact after being forced into a one-year break from competition.

“It’s just a lot more fun because I feel like I have something to look forward to,” Babb said. “Last summer, when I was in-jured and I had my finger surgery, I was out for a lot of the summer, but this summer it feels so good to have our whole team here working out and getting in the gym.”

The new faces will look to join forces with a solid core of players from last year’s team, a transition that may take time. Cyclone guard Scott Christopherson said he likes the team’s early outlook.

“I think it’s been a great mix so far, and it’s going to give us a lot of competition in a lot of different spots,” Christopherson said. “It’s good for everybody in the end, and I don’t see it being a problem. It’ll just be a natural progression that every team goes through.”

As well as doing voluntary workouts and playing in pickup games, the team is also participating in the Capital City Summer League in Des Moines.

The majority of league’s teams are made up of current and former college

players from around Iowa, as well as a few standout high school players.

With six teams in the league, Cyclone players have been split up so that there are between two and three on each team.

“Cap City is just a fun league with some good players — it’s a great way to stay in shape and play some competitive games,” said Cyclone sophomore Melvin Ejim.

Ejim was one of the standouts at Sunday’s Capital City League games, scoring 37 points and pulling down 22 rebounds as his Capital Orthopaedics team fell in overtime to MOHA, a team anchored by Cyclone players Anthony Booker, Will Clyburn and Aaron Law.

“I love this. It’s just fun to come out and have the fans be here and come out and get wins,” White said. “I just want to win at everything, so I just want to do that. So it’s not a show for me as much as it is for other people, but I’m having fun, and that’s all you can ask for.”

Cyclone players will be back in league action this Wednesday at Valley Southwoods High School in West Des Moines, with the first of three games start-ing at 5:30 p.m.

Macedo tries for global gamesBy Brian.Spaen iowastatedaily.com

Tennis Men’s Basketball

Cyclone tennis player Maria Fernando Macedo, a Mexico native, will be competing in her home country Tuesday in Yucatan, Mexico.

Macedo is one of six athletes attending tryouts to repre-sent Mexico at the World University Games. There will be a round-robin tournament to decide which two players will be selected.

If Macedo is selected, she will be in a draw of 64 other players to compete in singles matches during the games. In addition to the singles matches, there will be doubles and mixed doubles. This format emulates that of professional tournaments such as Wimbledon and the U.S. Open.

The World University Games will be held in Shenzhen, China in August.

Macedo has been playing tennis since the age of five, and grew up playing the game for 16 years. Her experience has yielded results for her at Iowa State. In her three years as a Cyclone.

Her singles and doubles victories to date combine for a record of 95 wins. That already puts her at tenth overall in Cyclones tennis history with another season to go.

Last season, Macedo went 19-12 in singles matches, competing mostly in the No. 2 position. She also went 12-16 in doubles matches with teammate Tessa Lang in the No. 1 position.

Iowa State’s tennis team awarded her the Most Valuable Player award for the season. Macedo will likely be transition-ing to the top position in singles next year, as she will be the top tennis player at Iowa State.

Some of Macedo’s strengths include the power of her shots.

“I can hit the ball pretty hard,” Macedo said. She feels that having power behind her tennis swing can help her in scramble situations, as well as giving her the edge when she plays closer to the net.

During her time playing for the Cyclones, Macedo has developed her game and improved each year. Macedo said that the upcoming competition will be a great challenge and means a lot to her as she returns home to play in front of her family.

“It is an honor to be playing back in my country,” said Macedo. “I hope to do well in this event and represent Mexico.”

Tom Hill is not an arrogant man. His accomplishments are worthy of accolades and appreciation.

Nonetheless, the current vice presi-dent of Student Affairs boasts an achieve-ment that very few individuals can claim: an Olympic medal.

Long before he became an ISU admin-istrator, Hill was setting the pace on the global track scene. He caught the eye of college recruiters during his high school days in New Orleans.

Arkansas State University offered Hill a full-ride track scholarship, a move that ultimately set him on the path to the Olympics.

“That was an interesting experience. I wasn’t a hurdler, [but my coach] convert-ed me to a hurdler. And my progress was quick and interesting,” said Hill. “I didn’t actually know what I was doing. I was just having fun. It wasn’t difficult. It was just different.”

In his first meet, the long-legged sprinter cleared the 110-meter hurdles in 15.6 seconds. By the end of his freshman season, Hill had slashed his time to 14.2

seconds.As the years passed, he continued to

see remarkable drops in his times. In 1970, Hill blazed to a 13.2-second finish, a world-record pace.

His rapidly-rising career was jeopar-

dized in 1971, when an injury kept him from competition. Hill battled back from the injury, and during his senior collegiate season, he posted times good enough to

Hill reminisces on ‘72 Olympic medal, experiencesBy Darrin.Cline iowastatedaily.com

earn him an invitation to the Olympic trials for the 110-meter hurdles.

Qualifying was an accomplishment in itself. Surpassing the competition at the U.S. Team Trials would be a whole new challenge.

“There was a significant amount of pres-sure for the trials, and that’s because the U.S. has a tradition of dominating the Olympics in 110 [meter] hurdles. It’s noted that the com-petition, round after round, is more fierce in the Olympic trials than it is in the Olympic Games,” Hill said.

“The finals in the Olympic Games are a little more pressure-packed, but to get to the finals in the trials in this country is more difficult than getting there in the Olympics,” he said.

Each country was allowed no more than three participants in each event. Faced with a formidable talent pool at the time trials, Hill needed to be on top of his game in order to advance.

“It doesn’t matter how fast you run. If you don’t perform on that day, you don’t go to the Olympics,” Hill said. He would eventually carry his number-three world ranking through the U.S. trials.

Heading into the 1972 Olympics, the German hosts were striving to overcome their dark past. The Munich games marked the first time the Olympics had been held on German soil since the nation hosted in 1936 (when it was under

Nazi rule).As Hill recalls, many people referred to the

1972 Olympics as the “Happy Games.” That moniker seemed apt at first. Then something terrible happened.

On September 5, Palestinian terrorists broke into the Olympic Village, kidnapping and even-tually murdering a total of 11 Israeli athletes. The tragic events marred the Games and took a toll on everyone involved.

“It went from a free-flowing, friends and family [event that] anyone can come in, to armed guards around the entire perimeter of the Olympic Village. It really changed the mood of what was going on,” Hill said.

One member of the U.S. team was famed swimmer Mark Spitz. As Hill recalled, Spitz be-came a focal point for the security forces.

“Mark Spitz was a member of that team, and he was Jewish. So after the attacks, everywhere he went, he had an entourage. And in order to get to him, you would have to get through I don’t know how many people,” Hill said.

The “Munich Massacre” jeopardized the event, but it was decided that the Games should be completed. As they progressed, Hill found himself on the track, making a push for his Olympic dreams.

Hill had no problem throttling the early competition. He breezed to victories in the first, second and semifinal rounds. When the finals approached, Hill began to feel the pressure and found himself standing toe to toe with the great-

est hurdlers in the world.“I used to look at cartoons when I was a lit-

tle kid. And they would have these characters who were shipwrecked on an island. They’d be dreaming about food. I distinctly remember this one cartoon where this one character was dreaming about something, and as he’s get-ting ready to eat it, it flies away.” Hill vividly recalled.

“I don’t know why I did this, but in my head I saw the gold medal flying away. I saw the silver medal flying away. I said to myself, I had to do something. I kicked it in,” Hill said.

Hill crossed the tape neck-and-neck with another runner, not knowing whether or not he would make it to the medal stand.

“At the very end of the race, I leaned and I looked inside to my teammate. Our eyes met and it appeared that we were crossing at the same time,” Hill said. “It seemed like three hours later, but it was no more than 2 minutes at the most. They flashed my name up and I jumped straight up in the air.”

The elation boiled over. Hill had now become an Olympic bronze medalist in the 110-meter hurdles. In just four years, he had gone from be-ing a high jump and long jump specialist to es-tablishing himself as one of the top hurdlers in the world.

Hill also competed with some of the most famous – and infamous – track stars in U.S. his-tory. Dave Wottle, the 800-meter gold medalist, famously donned a golf hat during his race and

recieved criticism for not removing the hat dur-ing the playing of the national anthem.

Vince Matthews and Wayne Collett also made headlines on the medal stand. The 400-meter medal winners were banned from future Olympic events for twirling their awards during the national anthem, an action that was deemed disrespectful.

Perhaps Hill’s most famous teammate was the late Steve Prefontaine. “Pre” was an virtual-ly unbeatable long-distance runner in the 1970s, and one of the most colorful characters the sport has ever seen.

“The thing that made him special was he was a distance runner, and there’s a personality type associated with a distance runner: [someone who is] a loner, quiet. Well, Steve had the per-sonality of a sprinter.

“A sprinter is always talking about how good they are and that kind of stuff. He would take a victory lap and blow kisses to the crowd. [He was a] nice guy, a good guy, and it’s tragic what happened and that his life was cut short,” Hill said.

Hill continued to compete on the national and international level. He remained a top hur-dler throughout the 1970s as a member of the U.S. national team and a member of the U.S. Army, competing in the CISM Military Games.

He will forever cherish the people, places and events of the 1972 Olympic Games. However, staying true to his humble ways, Hill describes it as “just another trinket in the life.”
