Council recognizes Career and Technical Education month, presents lifesaving award and utility staff honors
Summary
At its Feb. 3 meeting Lexington council proclaimed February as Career and Technical Education month, presented a lifesaving award to a patrolman and recognized utilities staff for statewide awards.
The Lexington Town Council on Feb. 3 proclaimed February 2025 as Career and Technical Education (CTE) Month and invited representatives from Lexington County School District 1 to accept the proclamation.
Bryce Myers, director of career and technical education for Lexington County School District 1, described the district’s CTE programs, saying the district offers multiple programs across middle and high schools and that combining academics with hands-on career education prepares students for a range of postsecondary options. Myers recognized student Zoe Fraser for leadership in her DECA marketing program during his remarks.
Chief Green presented the department’s Lifesaving Award to Patrolman Thomas Clark Lindsey for his actions on Dec. 3, 2024, when Lindsey performed chest compressions and assisted EMS with a mechanical chest-compression device for an unconscious woman. Chief Green said those actions contributed to the patient’s survival; the chief presented the life-saving medal to Lindsey at the meeting.
David Wyman, utilities director, recognized two utilities employees who received statewide awards: Stewart West, named Capital District Maintenance Person of the Year by the Water Environment Association, and Mary Beth Peterson, named Office Manager of the Year by the South Carolina Rural Water Association. Wyman said Peterson manages the town’s backflow prevention program and helped align operations between utilities and finance.
The council also welcomed new police hires Adam Taylor, Zachary Ransom, and Mac Mikayla Blake and thanked staff for their service.
