They train for years to be ready in seconds. As dedicated public servants, they have sacrificially cut from the fabric of their lives the little daily decorations those they protect enjoy without a second thought: a solid night’s sleep, leisurely meals and shoes that lace. They ply their duties with a fierce sense of loyal camaraderie matched only by other front line heroes. This year’s 46th annual National EMS Week, May 16-22, celebrates the unwavering contributions of fire and EMS departments throughout the country. “I love my job,” stated Warsaw-Wayne Fire Territory EMS Chief Chris Fancil. “We get to go out and help people having the worst time of their lives.” In 30 years as paramedic and firefighter, Fancil has seen both the expansion of EMS responsibilities and technological advancement. Modern ambulances are “rolling emergency departments,” Fancil commented, and their use has increased exponentially. “In the beginning, Warsaw did not make medical runs,” he said. By the 1990s there were roughly 450 per year. The number now is 2,800, and medical runs comprise 72% of the fire territory activity.

Fancil’s mantra is “do the right thing for the patient.” And with characteristic modesty, he emphasized teamwork, his role in a larger framework including Lutheran EMS and the hospitals the patient eventually reaches. Warsaw paramedics are often first on the scene, providing crucial pre-hospital care: IVs, breathing assistance, cardiac treatment and more. “We give the best care we can before Lutheran gets there … setting the stage for a great outcome.” Just being there, Fancil noted, can help calm the patient. “There is a sense of relief the patients have when we are there to help.” But when more help is needed, the department has been increasingly responsive, thanks in part to better equipment, like the recently acquired autopulse devices, which provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation and were purchased with a K21 Foundation grant. “These guys are very good at it.” So good, in fact, some individuals saved by the use of autopulse devices will be present at the June 20 meeting of the County Fire Association in North Webster. Fancil oversees departmental medical training, and he stressed the importance of continuing education, “adding value to what we do.” Currently, 20 fire territory paramedics have nearly completed six months of classroom

work to earn advanced EMT certification. Fancil also credits the mayor’s office, territory board, township trustee and Warsaw City Council, for being “very supportive … I think this community is really blessed.” Anyone can be involved in personally honoring the often unsung heroes in local first responder departments. Small pandemic-compliant gestures of gratitude may include: • Working with local businesses to donate gift cards to EMS personnel. • Taking boxed lunches, snacks or other meals to local fire stations and police and sheriff’s departments. • Hiring a food truck to provide local first responders with a meal or treat. • Writing a letter of thanks for the responders’ service to the community. • Making cash or in-kind donations to department fundraisers. They often use the proceeds to provide toys, stuffed animals, blankets and hygiene essentials to children and families displaced by a house fire. • Giving blood to help replenish a national supply severely depleted by the coronavirus pandemic. • Pooling resources to rent a billboard thanking first responders for their actions above and beyond the call of duty.

Sally Kauffman: Building 50 homes and counting %\ 5$< %$/2*+ 6WDII :ULWHU Sally Kauffman builds houses — about 50 of them in the past six months. The lifelong Kosciusko County resident, who lives “in the country between Etna Green and Mentone” with her husband, Scott, works as an enrollment assistant on the Indiana Tech Warsaw campus, and crafts miniature homes in her spare time. “I have always worked with my hands,” she said, noting her mom does sewing and various crafts. Kauffman also sews and has made face masks for use by students and visitors on campus. She made a few little houses for Halloween to display at work, and her efforts were well received. She has also crafted Christmas scenes, a post office and a fabric store, complete with a handmade miniature sewing machine, for her mother. “I have a whole village,” she said. Her creations include not only the house, made from colored paper stock, but miniature accoutrements like snow, glitter, trees and other items. Around her “little shack on the beach” she spread sand from a family whale watching trip to Oregon and added a pail, sand castle, starfish, turtle and crabs, all of which she made from paper or clay or purchased at Hobby Lobby or Dollar Tree. She leaves a whole in the bottom of her houses for a tea light. She makes all her artwork from scratch. “The hardest part is figuring out what color to use,” said Kauffman. “From start to finish

with everything it will take maybe a weekend.” Kauffman also likes to paint, once volunteering to compose a backdrop on a plastic tablecloth for portrait photos at a ladies’ dinner at church. “I painted a barn with snow, a road and a fence.” She said she prefers artwork depicting “old rustic and rural landscape scenes with old trucks,” but will paint “whatever hits me at the time.” Not only does she enjoy her free time, she likes her job as well. “It is just fun to come to work,” she said, citing “my co-workers” as the most-liked aspect of her work. She also said, “it’s a lot of fun meeting the students, some of whom I’ve worked with other places.” Before she started at Indiana Tech four years ago, Kauffman

worked at Little Lambs preschool in Etna Green, had a paper route and was employed at Paragon in Pierceton. “I quit there to stay home and baby-sit the grandkids. When they started school, I came to work at Indiana Tech in the evenings.” Kauffman grew up in Etna Green and graduated from Triton High School in 1982. She and Scott were married Oct. 2, 1982, and have two married daughters, Stephanie, who lives near Tippecanoe in Marshall County, and Stacy, who lives in Warsaw. They have five grandchildren, four boys and a girl. “We are overrun with big and little boys,” Kauffman said. She still keeps a close connection with her family. They all attend Pathway Church in Warsaw, and she starts her workdays “going to my daughters’ to take the grandkids to school. My daughters and I talk a lot during the day. We have three-way conversations by text or phone call multiple times a day.” The Kauffmans like to travel, and often take their camper to Amish country in Ohio. “We call it our grocery shopping,” said Kauffman with a chuckle. “We go to once place for bakery items, another place for meat and cheese and somewhere else for bulk foods.”

Recalling experiences with some stormy weather One sunny day, early in May, a day when the sun was shining and the sky was blue with a few puffy white clouds, I was out looking for birds. The wind was in the willows, as the saying goes, and in all the trees and bushes. It was a beautiful day, but it

was cold. There was a strong wind and the wind was cold. The wind made the temperature feel more like April, or even March, than May. That’s the way with wind. It can make any day feel cold. It can make a day feel warm too, but only in the U.S. in dessert areas of the southwest and in open crop land of the Midwest. Wind is air, moving air. The way it is moving, how hard it’s being blown gives it form, character. It can be a breeze or a tornado. I’ve experienced most, perhaps all the forms of air. I’ve never seen a tornado, but I was in a house when

it was damaged by a tornado. I was only 5 years old, but a tornado is not something I believe is ever forgotten. It was a hot summer day in Iowa. We were downtown, Mother and Dad, my brother and I. Clouds drifted in. The sky got dark, greenish, and Dad said when the sky got that color there would be hail, we had to get home and get the car in the garage to protect it from the hail. We were home, the car was in the garage and we were at Grandpa’s house, next door to ours, looking out the windows, watching the clouds.

sidering that most of our ridership was down at one point, to a little over 900 rides (per month),” Peterson said. “We typically provide between 4,000 and 4,500 rides a month.” Groninger asked if ridership is back up to its normal level. At this point, Peterson said, they are providing between 2,500 – 3,000 rides per month. “Last month we hit 3,000 rides so we’re getting there,” Peterson said. Cost for KABS rides is $1 for 10 miles, $2 for 11-24 miles; and $3 for 25 plus miles, for a one-way trip. The next regular meeting will be 9 a.m. May 25.

The front porch to our house, next door, had been partly torn from the house. What was left blocked the front door. To get to that door, we had to crawl. Outside, the trees in the lawns, all but one elm in Grandpa’s yard, had been blown down. Our garage was gone, blown away, and a tree lay across our car. Since then, while serving in the Navy, I’ve been on ships at sea in hurricanes and typhoons. In one typhoon, the captain said he’d never seen a more severe storm. The ship rolled 52 degrees to one side. Fortyfive degrees to the side is halfway over. When I tell about being on a ship in a storm where the ship rolled more than halfway over, I am usually asked if I was scared. If I was, I don’t remember it. What I remember is hanging on, trying to keep from being thrown to the deck or, worse, thrown over the side into the ocean. Hurricanes and typhoons, for your information, are the same kind of storm. In the Atlantic Ocean, it’s a hurricane. In the Pacific Ocean, it’s a typhoon.

Kosciusko County Commissioners approved a Kosciusko Economic Development Corporation policies and procedures handbook in an effort to simplify the process of starting and growing businesses. Suzie Light, former Kosciusko County Community Foundation CEO, appeared before commissioners at their meeting Tuesday, May 11, on behalf of KEDCo. “The handbook, we believe is important, because it will help … this will make sure the process is managed hopefully more effectively and offers all businesses information about the incentives,” Light said. According to Light, the policy has been adopted by the county redevelopment commission and if approved by commissioners, the next step would be presenting it to the Kosciusko County Council. The document will provide an overview of the processes and procedures associated with revolving loan funds, tax abatement, tax increment financing, incentive agreements, land banking, economic development revenue bonds and grants. Commissioners Vice President Cary Groninger said having a point of content for a process that can be confusing is a great idea. “It is confusing and we want to shepherd folks along for the success of businesses applying as well as success of the local units of government,” Light said. In another matter, Kosciusko Area Bus Service General Manager Tony Peterson presented the 2022 INDOT operating/capital grant application for review. The 2022 INDOT operating grant capital grant application packet

contained a request for $485,995 in federal funds and an estimated $137,204 in state funds. Peterson said this could be subject to change following a state review between August and October. “In addition to the application, it represents two medium transit replacement busses totaling $60,750 each,” Peterson said. This was an 80 percent federal expense with a 20 percent local match. KABS was established in 1981 and has provided rides in the community for 40 years. “Even through the pandemic, KABS provided over 32,000 rides, which is a good success story con-

My brother and I hustled outside, picked up a few hail stones, then hurried back inside, joining Mother and Dad and Grandpa looking out the windows. Then Grandpa said, “There’s a twister.” Twister is a colloquial name for a tornado. Mother grabbed my brother by one hand, Dad grabbed me and we raced through the house and downstairs to the basement. As we went, we heard the sound of breaking glass behind us and furniture being overturned. By the time we got to the basement and behind the furnace, the sounds had stopped. Dad went back upstairs, then called to us it was safe to come up, the storm had passed. The house was a disaster area. Windows were shattered, furniture overturned, rugs clumped in the middle of the rooms, as if they had been jerked up and everything on them had been thrown aside. Windows were broken. Most of them. But the windows on the front porch had not, which was fortunate because Grandpa had stayed on the porch and watched the storm pass.

(StatePoint) Fairly easy to construct and even easier to maintain, raised garden beds are a great way to raise plants and vegetables in the comfort and convenience of your backyard. In a recent episode of the Exmark Original Series, “Done-inA-Weekend-Extreme,” landscape designer and show host, Doug Scott, spoke to organic gardener Joe Lamp’l of “Growing a Greener World” about the ins and outs of raised garden beds. Here are some of the top insights and tips Lamp’l shared. • Why use raised garden beds? A raised garden bed can help facilitate the ideal growing environment, as most people don’t have that perfect soil naturally in their yard. Their accessibility makes them easier to work in and maintain. Plus, they’re a nice architectural design element in any landscape. • What’s the ideal size? The main rule of the thumb applies to width. The bed should be no wider than 4 feet, as you never want to compact the soil when working. Length however, is based on personal preference and needs. As far as height is concerned, you want the roots to be able to

grow out and down as much as possible -- 6-inches at minimum. While 12-inches is common, anything higher is a bonus. • What materials work best? Treated lumber is the most readily available and economical material and will likely last the longest, however, being an organic gardener Lamp’l prefers untreated hardwood, as it lasts

almost as long and doesn’t contain chemicals. Other materials you have around the home and yard, such as rocks, old tubs, etc., can work too. • Where’s the best location? Build your raised garden bed on level ground, in full sun exposure near a water supply. DIY Instructions: To build a 10-foot x 4-foot x 18inch raised bed, you’ll need: • Nine 6-inch x 6-inch x 12-foot cedar timbers

Begin by cutting six, 6 x 6 timbers, each measuring 10-feet 6-inches in length. And six, 6 x 6 timbers, each measuring 4-feet 6-inches in length. Drill rebar holes in each timber. 2. Once the first layer of bed has been placed, leveled and squared in your desired location, fasten the corners using 10-inch wood screws. Secure the entire layer to the ground with 10 pieces of rebar. 3. Place the second layer of timbers, staggering the corners and fastening them with wood screws. Secure this layer to the first with ten 10-inch galvanized spikes. 4. Install galvanized cloth to prevent burrowing pests from eating earthworms and destroying plants. 5. Place the third layer of timbers (following above directions.) 6. Fill with soil and plants.

Ready, set … refresh! Quick tips to revitalize your most-used spaces (StatePoint) Have the cold winter months left your home feeling a bit dirty, drab or disorganized? Are you feeling the urge to purge? Then it’s time for some spring cleaning. With a few simple tips and tricks, your home—and mood—can be refreshed and revitalized. For the biggest payoff for your efforts, focus spring cleaning in the areas of the home that are used most: the kitchen and bathroom. Clear kitchen clutter: According to research from the Mayo Clinic, de-cluttering can have a significant positive effect on your mental health and well-being. To start your refresh, toss anything that’s expired or no longer being used. Use a wall-mount spice rack to free up shelf space and keep ingredients within easy reach. Add sanity to the silverware drawer by giving all gadgets their own spaces with Spectrum HEXA In-Drawer

Organizers. HEXA organizers feature a unique, six-sided honeycomb base design that offers a sturdy foundation while allowing crumbs to fall through its base away from clean utensils. Simply, “lift and sift” to clean drawers. Labels & liners: Add a new level of organization and personalization to cabinets, drawers and even wire racks with shelf liners. Available in a variety of colors and patterns, they offer a smooth top and grip bottom for easy sliding of items. Plus, the smooth surface catches messes and spills, making clean-up a breeze. Next, create custom labels for organizer bins with chalkboard or dry erase adhesives from Duck brand. For wire racks, add shelf liner to the bottom to hold items in place. Get savvy at the sink: Next, move to one of the germiest areas of the kitchen: the sink. To keep

this area neat and clean, add an organizer (such as Spectrum HEXA Sink Organizer, which has a builtin soap pump) to keep all cleaning essentials—sponges and brushes— upright and dry and help resist the growth of bacteria. Excess water is captured in the base, which can be easily removed and wiped clean. Finally, place a raised mat in your sink basin to encourage air and water flow for faster drying, and to provide extra cushion for fragile glassware. Banish bathroom battles: From towels to toiletries, bathrooms collect a lot of “stuff.” Keep the daily-use items and purge the rest. If you have limited shower space, use a suction shower basket or shower caddy to hold shampoo and soaps. Add an over-the-tank toilet paper holder to store extra bath tissue and keep it out of the way. Just like the kitchen, utilize

What homeowners need to know before refinancing (StatePoint) With mortgage rates hovering near three percent, experts say there are still a number of homeowners who could benefit from refinancing. In fact, borrowers who refinanced in 2020 to lower their mortgage rate saved over $2,800 in mortgage payments annually, according to the latest Freddie Mac research. “While today’s low mortgage rates have fueled a refinance boom, it’s been driven mainly by higherincome borrowers. With millions of borrowers eligible to refinance, lower- and middle-income borrowers who could stand to benefit the most from refinancing might be leaving money on the table,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist. To determine whether refinancing makes financial sense for you, it’s essential to first understand the basics. Here’s what to know about the refinancing process: • Understanding refinancing: When refinancing your mortgage, you are essentially applying for a new mortgage with the goal of securing a loan with better terms than your current one. Primarily, people refinance their mortgages for three reasons: to lower their interest rate, to switch from one product to another (i.e. switch from an adjustable-rate mortgage to a fixed-rate mortgage) or switch to a loan with a shorter term. • Determining refinancing costs: While refinancing can save you money, it isn’t free. Just as

there are closing costs and associated fees with your current mortgage, there are related costs to refinance your loan. To get a sense of what refinancing could cost you, use Freddie Mac’s refinance calculator, which is available at calculators.freddiemac.com. • Knowing your options: The refinancing option that is best for you will depend on your financial situation and goals. The most common option is to refinance the remaining unpaid balance on your mortgage. Through refinancing, you can improve your financial position by shortening your term or locking in a lower interest rate. Your lender will be able to discuss refinancing options with you and help determine the best solution

for your situation. • Closing your loan: Closing on your new loan is the final step in the refinancing process, a procedure that is almost identical to when you initially closed on your current mortgage. During closing, it’s important that you take your time to read all documents carefully and ask clarifying questions. Once all of the closing documents are signed, you will have a new loan. For more information on refinancing, visit myhome.freddiemac. com. Remember, even with today’s mortgage rates near historic lows, it’s important to carefully evaluate your situation and your home goals with a housing counselor or lender.

Letter to the editor Boundless opportunities for the future Dear Editor: My name is Larry Wilkinson and I’m a farmer from Kimmell. I’ve farmed in Noble County for many years, and I can’t really think of anything else I would rather do. You may have seen tractors and other equipment in the field during these last few weeks, and that’s because farmers are in the middle of planting season. Once the ground warms up, it’s a mad dash for us to get out into the fields before the next rain. Safety is a top priority for us. So if you see us on the roads or get caught behind us, we thank you for your patience as we head to the next field and get our crop into the ground. Speaking of our crop, did you know corn and soybeans are used for many products that touch your daily lives? From food products like cereals and soybean oil, to industrial or household products like cleaners, glue, paint and pharmaceuticals. They really are versatile crops. A couple of really beneficial organizations all Indiana farmers have a part in, and who we all can thank for some of these innovative new products, is farmer-led and directed Indiana Soybean Alliance and the Indiana Corn Marketing Council. You can think of these organiza-

tions as the “marketing arm” of all Indiana soybean and corn farms collectively. Farmers in Indiana invest into these checkoff organizations and then those dollars are spent to conduct research, find new markets and help promote of all the products we produce on our farm. A great example of soy innovation from ISA is the Purdue University Soybean Innovation Competition. To win, Purdue students develop unique products from soybeans that satisfy a market need. This year’s winning product is a liquid biostimulant made of 98% soy and designed to promote growth in vegetables. This product is entirely composed of biobased substances, which is attractive to many customers. The biostimulant market is a $2.4 billion industry with a lot of growing room. Past winners of this contest developed soy crayons, soy candles and many other things. ICMC also creates new ways to process corn and bring it to market as new products. We know most of Indiana’s corn crop goes to exports, ethanol production and livestock feed. Continuing to seek more ideas to use all parts of the corn plant is a priority. Now we can consider taking lower-value products that are

traditionally considered byproducts, and further process them into industrial chemicals that can be used for things like corn-plastics. There is no limit to what innovation and new markets and uses can be developed for Indiana soybeans and corn. We will continue to produce the crops that yield not only the grains but boundless opportunities for the future. Larry Wilkinson We welcome readers’ letters.

Interview with Author Kelly Milner Hall %\ $0< 0$11 :&3/ &KLOGUHQ·V 6HUYLFHV You may have seen interviews with bubbly, animated children’s fiction authors, but have you ever wondered about children’s non-fiction writers? Are they a dry, boring lot? Well, I’d like you to meet Kelly Milner Halls, a Spokane, Wash.based writer who loves fun nonfiction. WCPL carries eight of her books, with some of them available as e-books, as well. From “In Search of Sasquatch” to “Mysteries of the Mummy Kids” to “Tiger in Trouble,” this author has helped to make this genre a “can’t miss.” I was able to converse with this wonderful person and ask her some questions. I think you’ll enjoy the interview. AM- “Do you write to express yourself, or to impart a message to your readers?” KMH- “I write because I’m terribly curious, and I know kids are too. So I write to answer my questions and the questions I think kids have, too.” AM- “Do you ever write about ‘heavy’ things?” KMH- “I love weird things most, Authorized Dealer

but I have written about heavy things like World War II and the sinking of the Titanic. I also wrote about saving a zoo during the war in Iraq.” AM- “Is it scary to put yourself and your thoughts out into the world?” KMH- “It was when I first started, but I’ve been doing it for 30 years now. It’s not scary now, but I always hold my breath until I hear from kids. If things go well, they tell me they like the books I write.” AM- “Do you ever write in verse?” KMH- “I haven’t, but I love novels in verse. I think it’s a great way to tell a story.” AM- “What other forms does your personal creativity take?” KMH- “I like to paint. That’s creative, too.” For the rest of the interview, check the library’s Facebook page. You won’t be disappointed. Also, be on the lookout for information on our upcoming summer reading program, which will begin June 1 for readers and listeners of all ages. Our virtual programs and other goodies will continue on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. If you have any questions, call the Warsaw library at (574) 2651459, come in and see us at 310 E.
