Dave for Greenfield

  Did You Know ? (3/40) Did you know that Dave Carver, candidate for mayor of Greenfield, was the 1st Emergency Response professional to research, develop, create, and teach federally regulated and approved safety programs by the Department of Transportation – Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration? Note - Pipeline operators are primarily responsible for managing the flow of oil, natural gas, and other fossil fuel materials that circulate through pipelines. It's true! Dave was hired by a company that previously provided CFR 30 and 49 CFR part 192 safety information, via mailings, to stakeholders along interstate transportation pipeline systems. However, a pipeline accident on June 10,1999 that occurred in Bellingham WA changed the entire industry. The Bellingham accident conclusions by the NTSB determined ,in part ,that the national pipeline operators should provide more comprehensive stakeholder information than just right of way mailings.

Well the clearance has probably lapsed by now but Dave did have a Top Secret Clearance both while he was enlisted and as a private contractor.

Matt, my friend and academy classmate,  followed the uncooperative suspect into his home…where the suspect grabbed a shotgun positioned near the door.. Faber, having nowhere to go, turned and retreated towards the outdoors. The suspect shot Faber in the back as he moved.. Faber fell, critically wounded, and was transported to Wishard Hospital (Eskanazi) soon afterwards.  I spent the next 12+ hours at the hospital consoling Matt’s wife Jan and members of both families. There were  hundreds of officers that assembled outside. All waiting and praying for Matt to survive. He did survive that night and he fought valiantly over the next couple of weeks while his family and I continued to visit, speak with him (he was unconscious), hold his hand, and prayed… before he was eventua...
