Better way to travel

With so many people travelling here for the Final 8, it's probably not a bad time to call attention to Jack Lengyel (the coach Matthew McConaughey played in We Are Marshall) becoming in active in the push to ban or improve the safety standards for the 15-passenger van those eight people from Moncton's Bathurst High School were riding in when they were killed a couple months ago.

Lengyel, who is now a software executive living in Arizona, was so moved by the Bathurst tragedy and its similarities to Marshall that he volunteered his time and is paying his own way to visit the northern New Brunswick city.

Here's hoping Lengyel's efforts have some impact in the right places.
