SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 17

(By Senators Green, D. Hall, Unger, Stollings, Kessler (Mr. President), Cole, Wells, Miller, Jenkins and Barnes)

 

Recognizing the Pinnacle Blue Mine Rescue Team for winning first place at the 2013 National Coal Mine Rescue Competition.

    Whereas, The National Coal Mine Rescue Competition is a biannual competition sponsored by the National Mining Association and administered by the United States Department of Labor’s Mine Safety and Health Administration; and

    Whereas, Established in 1910 by the United States Bureau of Mines, the National Coal Mine Rescue Competition is the largest of its kind; and

    Whereas, In its 101st year, more than eighty teams from twelve states competed in the four-day competition that had events ranging from first aid, bench and pre shift to the more complex simulated mine rescue scenarios that involve hypothetical emergency situations and test the rescue and safety abilities of the competitors; and

    Whereas, The Pinnacle Blue Team, of Cliffs Natural Resources, completed both days of team events without a single error and achieved the fastest problem-solving time on the second day of the competition; and

    Whereas, Due to their hard work, dedication and commitment to perfecting their craft and protecting our miners, the Pinnacle Blue Team won the 2013 National Coal Mine Rescue Competition; and

    Whereas, Mine rescue teams are the backbone of readiness for mine emergency response and the Pinnacle Blue Team has proven that not only do they possess the skills and preparedness necessary to keep miners safe, but they do it better than anyone else in the country; and

    Whereas, The Pinnacle Blue Team consists of members Dave Jackson, Adam Davis, Cody Palmer, Chad Lester, Greg Meadows, Mike Vickers, Rob Mizok, Cody Lambert, Richard Crockett and Barry Baker; and

    Whereas, The Pinnacle Blue Team is a shining example of what can be accomplished with teamwork and a dedication and commitment to ensuring the safety of our miners; therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Senate:

    That the Senate hereby recognizes the Pinnacle Blue Mine Rescue Team for winning first place at the 2013 National Coal Mine Rescue Competition; and, be it

    Further Resolved, That the Senate acknowledges each individual member of this team for the job that they do and thanks each one of them for their efforts; and, be it

    Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward a copy of this resolution to the Pinnacle Blue Mine Rescue Team.
