I see we have an unusually large group before us this evening. We <br />have some residents with us. We have some representatives from Mayfield Schools. We have a <br />lot of first responders here tonight. We have our new Finance Director, Angie Rich. And we also <br />have with us Mr. Tony Hocevar. Tony is here tonight. If you have a chance to introduce yourself, <br />Tony is running as a candidate for State Representative for House District 12. Thank you for <br />coming tonight also. You are in for a real treat. <br />- Commendations for Exceptional Service <br />Tonight I am pleased and honored to be able to recognize Officer Matt Hocevar as well as <br />Mayfield City School District employee Paulette Grey for their heroic acts which helped to save a <br />life. I will read you a Proclamation. It is the same for both. <br />On Thursday, March 14, 2024, at approximately 10:45 am, Mayfield High School <br />cafeteria attendant Paulette Grey noticed a student choking while seated in the <br />cafeteria. She approached the student and attempted to administer the Heimlich <br />maneuver. When she was unsuccessful in clearing the student's airway, Mrs. Grey <br />immediately summoned Patrol Officer Matt Hocevar, the School Resource Officer. <br />Without hesitation, Officer Hocevar ran over to the student, assessed the situation, <br />and immediately began to again administer the Heimlich maneuver. The boy's <br />airway was successfully cleared, allowing him to breathe again. Officer Hocevar <br />sat down and talked to the student to ensure he was okay, waiting until clinic staff <br />arrived to attend to the student further. Both Mrs. Grey and Officer Hocevar <br />remained calm, cool, and collected throughout the incident. The entire interaction <br />lasted only a few minutes, but due to the swift and direct actions of Mrs. Grey and <br />Officer Hocevar, the student returned to class later that day, and a tragedy was <br />avoided. <br />
