Credit Union workers honored

By Merrie Chapman Carol Fendt, manager of Chiphone Federal Credit Union, Nappanee, spoke to the Nappanee Rotary Club, April 28. She described how two Chiphone employees saved a man’s life earlier that month. “Friday, April 16, is a day I will never forget,” said Fendt. At approximately 10:30a.m. a patron went into cardiac arrest while standing in line for the teller. He fell forward crashing to the floor face first. The Chiphone manager rolled him over and found blood covering his face. When Fendt asked if anyone knew cardiac pulmonary resistation (CPR), Kathy Freet and Arylene Lane responded without hesitation. “Keep in mind,” said Carol, “that these girls were working on a total stranger who was covered in blood. We had no safety materials or protection of any kind.” 1 While they couldn’tN remember the exact number of compressions needed, or the time to pause between them, the duo set to work. Freet worked through the blood to clear an air passage way and began blowing air into the man while Lane began compressions. '< During the rescue Freet reportedly worked nonstop while thinking to herself over and over again, “this is someone’s father, someone’s grandfather, etc.” Lane worked silently while her mind kept screaming “we aren’t going to loose you, we aren’t gpihg to loose you.” flThe girls did a very fine job,” said Nappanee Emergency Njgdical Services Director Jim Sinnpter during a phone interview. started CPR and kept oxygen going to his brain until we got there,” Sumpter added, “that’s prfttty crucial in a situation like this.” '‘This is the kind of thing you usually see on TV shows like

“911”—but it happened here this time” said the EMS director. Following Fendt’s rendition of the events, the Nappanee Rotary Club and members of the EMS, joined her in a standing ovation for the two local heroes. Each were presented with “Rotary Service Above Self’ plaques recognizing their efforts. The man they helped was identified as Jim Troxel, Nappanee. He was taken to Elkhart General Hospital and has since undergone quadruple heart bypass surgery. Mr. Troxel is currently home recovering from the surgery. Jim says he’s “grateful to the girls for what they did.” Troxel has three children and six grandchildren. He and his wife Barbara reside at 351 North Hartman Street.
