February 2018 Employees of the Month Jeremy Badertscher, Rich Gannon, Scott Clayton
FEBRUARY 2018 EMPLOYEES OF THE MONTH
On behalf of the Council and I, it is my pleasure to recognize three employees of the month this month. While I realize this is an unusual number to recognize, as it is normally just one employee at a time, we made a special exception to this norm because these three employees went above and beyond their dangerous normal duties to literally help save a young man in trouble.
These three extraordinary individuals have dangerous jobs as their regular status quo. Jeremy and Rich are electric linemen and Scott is a police officer. But on a recent afternoon, Jeremy and Rich were driving to a job site when they observed a car hit a boy crossing the street in a crosswalk on his bicycle, throwing the young man several feet in the air. Jeremy and Rich did not hesitate but immediately went to the boy’s aid, calming him and keeping him still until medical help could arrive. Scott was the officer from MFPD who responded first, and did an excellent job talking with the understandably shaken up boy to calm him and get the necessary information from him. All three showed kindness and heroic grace.
We are very happy to report that the young man is recovering well with no permanent injuries.
We are very proud to recognize these three gentlemen as our February EMPLOYEES OF THE MONTH. They were nominated by the young man’s mother, Lili, who has expressed her sincere gratitude for their deeds, but they were also nominated by several members of the community who evidently witnessed the incident as well.
Thank you all very much and congratulations on being the February Employees of the Month!
