A golf course worker in Mesquite died Thursday when he fell from the rear of a vehicle, authorities said.

According to Clark County Coroner Ron Flud, Lapekas was riding in a cart being towed by a course utility vehicle when the vehicle's driver was forced to make a quick turn.

Flud said Lapekas hit his head on a cement curb, causing massive internal head injuries. He died that day.
A spokesman for Wolf Creek was not available for comment, but a friend of Lapekas from Michigan said the course has flown two of Lapekas' children to Southern Nevada out of concern for the family.

Stephen Lapekas appeared in Life March 1958 in an article criticizing the American school system [17]
"When the Russians launched Sputnik, the first
man-made satellite to circle the globe, the
schools' critics took the event as proof that they
had been right. The schools were failing. Sputnik
went up in October 1957, by the following spring
Life magazine had readied a five-part series,
Crisis in Education. The cover of the March 24,
1958, edition showed two students: a stern-looking
Alexei Kutzkov in Moscow and a Kutzkov conducting
complex experiments in physics and chemistry and
reading relaxed, smiling Stephen Lapekas in
Chicago. Inside, photographs showed Sister Carrie
out loud in English class. Lapekas was depicted
walking hand in hand with his girlfriend and
rehearsing for a musical. In the one American
classroom picture, Lapekas retreats from a math
problem on the blackboard, laughing along with his
classmates. The caption explains that "Stephen
amused the class with wisecracks about his
ineptitude."

the buttered-up back-roads off interstate 93
by Josh Lapekas[22]
"Butter it up good," God said when He
handed this piece of highway to his
wife this morning with tea.
God's wife (he has one, her name's Star)
took it into one heavenly hand
while the summer night
wrapped a winter coat around my car.
I'm shrugged off patterned shoulders,
into its sleeves,
and onto the
buttered-up back-roads off Interstate 93.
It's when I brake, skid, and shake hands
with what resembles a tree,
that I realize it's not a confrontation of consequence
but one of God's Wife's teeth,
sappy and brown and decaying
I guess
from the tea.
