SENECA FALLSTOWN BOARD REGULAR MEETING MAY 7, 2013

The Seneca Falls Town Board held a regular monthly Meeting on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 in the Town Hall Meeting Room, 81 W. Bayard Street.

Present were Supervisor Donald Earle; Councilpersons Duane Moore, Susan Sauvageau, T.J. Casamassima and Emil Bove. Also present were Patrick Morrell, Attorney for the Town; James Spina, Commissioner of Parks and Recreation; Steven Turkett, Zoning Officer; Donald Wood, Highway Superintendent; Stuart Peenstra, Police Chief; Michael Pickard, WWTP Operator and a Member of the local media.

Supervisor Earle called the Meeting to order at 7:00 P.M. All Board Members were present; the Pledge of Allegiance followed.

Lifesaving Award – Sgt. Poole: Chief Peenstra stated when Sgt Poole arrived at a residence, he found two subjects with stab wounds. Sgt. Poole made a makeshift tourniquet with a belt to slow bleeding, and applied direct pressure to the victim’s severed artery for over an hour. John Barnard, North Seneca Ambulance Critical Care Technician, said that in his professional opinion, the victim would not have survived the trip to the hospital without the immediate action of Sgt. Poole. Chief Peenstra commended Sgt. Poole for his actions that night, along with the other Officers that were there. He presented Sgt. Poole with a Lifesaving Citation for his heroic actions which ultimately saved the Individual’s life. The Chief mentioned that this is Sgt. Poole’s second Lifesaving Award since June 1, 2011.

Mr. Earle stated we owe Sgt. Poole thanks, and said it shows how life can be taken away in an instant if people don’t take action.
