City honors life‑saving emergency crew; cycling club invites residents to July ride
Summary
Moraine recognized Paramedic Post and EMT Westfall for a Feb. 7 airway rescue credited with saving a life; Frankie Brown of the Major Taylor Cycling Club invited residents to the club’s July 10–12 ride weekend with the main event July 11 at Welcome Stadium.
The Moraine City Council began its June 25 meeting by honoring emergency responders for a life‑saving airway rescue and by hearing a public invitation from the Major Taylor Cycling Club.
The fire chief presented a life safety award for an incident on Feb. 7 at Treasure Island in which Paramedic Post and EMT Westfall responded to a woman who was lying on the floor, not breathing but with a pulse. According to the chief’s remarks in the meeting record, the crew “removed the complete airway obstruction before the patient went into cardiac arrest” and the patient later returned to the crew to say thank you.
Frankie Brown, identifying himself as a member of the Major Taylor Cycling Club of the Dayton area, invited council and residents to the club’s signature weekend of events July 10–12, with the primary ride on Saturday, July 11 at Welcome Stadium. Brown said the club has operated for 18 years, typically rides through Moraine, offers multiple route lengths (a family ride, an 18‑mile, a 40‑mile and a 62‑mile route) and will donate proceeds this year to CityHeart, which assists people in need in the Dayton community. Brown also left flyers and a poster for distribution to residents.
Council members and staff used the reports section to highlight upcoming community events: a June 27 senior flea market, a July 3 event at Wax Park with live music and July 4 fireworks, a disc golf tournament, a patriotic house‑decoration contest with judging June 29–July 2, and recent ribbon‑cuttings such as the Shear’s reopening. The meeting closed with council members portraying historical figures as part of Moraine’s America250 observances.
What happens next: Parks & Recreation and city staff will proceed with scheduled July community events; the city did not record further action tied to the cycling club invitation during the meeting.
