TOWN OF BABYLON DECLARES MARCH IRISH-AMERICAN MONTH

During a recent board meeting, Supervisor Rich Schaffer and the town board officially declared March as Irish-American Heritage Month in the Town of Babylon, recognizing the significant contributions of Irish ancestors and their descendants and the shared values between Ireland and the United States. The Babylon Ancient Order of Hibernians, led by President Jim McGrath, accepted the resolution, with Pipe Major Bob Farrell performing a beautiful hymn to mark the occasion. Councilman Terence McSweeney sponsored the resolution, highlighting early Irish immigrants' diverse roles in shaping American society, from teachers and firefighters to business owners and more. McSweeney even got a chuckle and applause from those in attendance when he mentioned one of his favorite contributions was the invention of Guinness. Supervisor Schaffer announced that the town hall's Coppola would be illuminated in green throughout March as a tribute to Irish-American Heritage Month.

Babylon Firefighters Receive High Honors

one of the Babylon Village volunteer firefighters when he suddenly went into cardiac arrest. High quality CPR was immediately started by firefighters Giuseppe Pergolotti and Richard Nixon, as well as Giuseppe’s wife April, who is a nurse.

The ambulance crew arrived and applied an AED, and the patient was defibrillated three times in an attempt to revive him. En route to the hospital the patient not only regained spontaneous circulation but was conscious and alert. The patient, who was

discharged with no deficits, joined the firefighters at the ceremony. The national average for cardiac arrest survival is 7-8%. The positive outcome of this situation can be largely attributed to the quick actions of those on the scene and the

immediate high-quality CPR they provided.
