CLEVERLEY
by Matthew Robert
Velky '10, a 21-year-old
Fairfield resident
who also attends the
University.
Officers respond-ing
to the scene found
Cleverley unconscious
and bleeding from the rear of his head.
He appeared to not be breathing and of-ficers
initially struggled to find a pulse.
Officer Scott Sudora, who was on patrol
and witnessed the accident, straightened Clev-erley's
head and neck to clear his airwave and
attached an automated external defibrillator,
which told Sudora not to shock him.
Just as paramedics arrived on the scene,
Sudora found Cleverley's pulse.
A native of Dorset, England, Cleverley
was taken to St. Vincent's Medical Center in
Bridgeport where he remains in stable condi-tion
with broken bones, including a fractured
leg and ribs, a laceration on his head and a neck
injury. His parents have flown in from England
to be with him.
Perez said upon arrival on the scene,
police instructed Velky to remain in the car,
which he did.
Police administrated a field sobriety test
on Velky and it was determined that he was
under the influence of alcohol.
He was placed under arrest at 12:40 a.m.
and charged with D.U.I. Velky is set to appear
in court on Oct. 7. The investigation remains
ongoing.
Velky told police that Cleverley "ran in
front of him," according to Perez.
Also on Saturday night, an accident oc-curred
outside of Bravo Restaurant involving
students. A Jeep Cherokee holding 10 students
crashed into another car. Eight people were
sent to the hospital, but all have been released.
The investigation is still underway according
to police.

Five-step checklist saves lives, doctor named
MacArthur Fellow, named to 2008 TIME 100
BY JOE CARRETTA
One man. Five steps. Five
thousand lives saved.
Dr. Peter Pronovost '87
was inspired by Cere! King, a
mother who lost her daughter
in an emergency room visit, and
came back to the same place
five years later, wondering
aloud if anything would have
been different had the incident
happened in the present day.
"Her daughter died due to
preventable mistakes," Prono-vost
said. "I couldn't give her
an answer, the American health
care system couldn't give her
an answer, and I thought she
deserved better."
From the moment forward,
Pronovost took it upon himself
to make significant chances to
the medical system in hopes
that if ever the case arose again,
he would be sure it would have
a different outcome.
Pronovost developed a five-step
plan for hospitals to prevent
infection in intensive care units
and maintain sterility.
Across the country his sys-tem
has helped save thousands of lives.
He was recently recognized as a MacArthur
Fellow and was awarded a $500,000 "no strings
attached" Fellow award in order to continue his
quest improve the "delivery of health care" keep
patients safe during their stay in hospitals.
Pronovost is the only Fairfield alumi to ever
be named a MacArthur Fellow.
Pronovost acknowledged how amazing the
reward is, and how it is so different from typical
grants or other research funds.
"The reward is unique because they trust the
recipient," he said. "There is no micro-managing,
no reports that must be submitted. The MacArthur
foundation basically says we trust your vision. We
know your making the world better. Keep doing
it in any way you think we can support."
A statement released by the MacArthur
foundation spoke very highly of Pronovost stat-ing,
"He is sparing countless lives from the often
deadly consequences of human error and setting

new standards of health care performance in the
United States and internationally."
Pronovost was also named to TIME maga-zine's
TIME 100, a list of the world's most
influential people, in the Scientists and Thinkers
category.
In the U.S., hospital-acquired infections
affect one in 10 patients, killing 90,000 individu-als
and costing upwards of $11 billion per year,
according to TIME. Pronovost's protocols could
be applied nationwide within two years and cost
less than $3 million.
Pronovost began his quest by analyzing the
basic procedure of line insertions into patients and
why patients often fell into bloodstream infec-tions.
Although this common procedure is done
thousands of times a day, he put the technique
under the microscope and came away with some
startling results.

A Giant
book
BY ANNIE ROONEY
It has only been two years since
the book "Tunney" joined the other
athletic biographies in Barnes and No-ble
and Borders. Now Fairfield adjunct
English professor Jack Cavanaugh has
another to add to the shelf, only add-ing
to his accomplishments as an elite
writer and broadcaster.
While today he spends his days
teaching his trade to students, eight
years ago, you would have found him
writing for the New York Times sports
section, and broadcasting on ABS and
CBS News.
His writing has also been published
in Sports Illustrated, Readers Digest and
the "Chicken Soup" book series.
"Giants Among Men: How Robus-telli,
Huff, Gifford and the Giants Made
New York a Football Town and Changed
the NFL" his latest book, will be hitting
stores on Oct. 7 of this year.
Diving inside the book, every
reader will be delighted to experience the
great team sportsmanship and camarade-rie
of the New York Giants between 1956
and 1963. Or as Cavanaugh describes it,
"the Giants most glorious era."
Growing up in Stamford, Conn.,
Cavanaugh witnessed a member of his
own town rise to fame, "from rags to
riches."
Andy Robustelli was one of the best
defensive ends for the Giants during this
time and he grew up with Cavanaugh.
He attended Arnold College, which
was eventually bought out and aquired
