Senate Resolution No. 191

BY: Senator RYAN C

 COMMENDING Crystie Weigand upon the occasion of
 her designation as recipient of a Liberty Medal, the
 highest honor bestowed upon an individual by the New
 York State Senate

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commend the caring concern and heroic acts of individuals who take
prompt and appropriate action in emergency situations, nobly risking
their own lives in an effort to preserve the life of another; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commend Crystie Weigand upon the occasion of her designation as
recipient of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an
individual by the New York State Senate; and

 WHEREAS, The New York State Senate Liberty Medal was established by
Resolution and is awarded to individuals who have merited special
commendation for exceptional, heroic, or humanitarian acts on behalf of
their fellow New Yorkers; and

 WHEREAS, On March 28th, 2024, at North Rose-Wolcott Middle School,
Spanish teacher Crystie Weigand heard a commotion in the stairwell just
outside her third-floor classroom; she rushed to the scene to find her
colleague of 23 years unresponsive on the stairs; and

 WHEREAS, Having been an emergency medical technician for 26 years,
Crystie Weigand leapt into action, performing CPR on the individual in
need; with the aid of a few students, the school nurse, Colleen Barron,
was summoned, as well as an AED (Automated External Defibrillator),
which was utilized in unison by these heroic staff members; and

 WHEREAS, When the school resource officer was asked to call 911, it
was discovered that a student had already made the call, allowing for
the prompt arrival of first responders, truly making a difference in
these lifesaving efforts; and

 WHEREAS, A truly brave and courageous woman, Crystie Weigand played
a vital role in this extraordinary rescue effort, and should be praised
by the people of this great Empire State for her astute actions in
working to preserve the life of another; and

 WHEREAS, Crystie Weigand, in her spontaneous and heroic act, has so
aptly demonstrated her character and compassion for the welfare of
others, personifying, by virtue of her action, the collective concern of
ordinary citizens across the community of New York State who voluntarily
respond without thought of danger or reward when others are in need of
help; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Crystie Weigand upon the occasion of her designation as
recipient of a Liberty Medal, the highest honor bestowed upon an
individual by the New York State Senate; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Crystie Weigand.
