In addition to the Syracuse EMS members there were members of the Kosciusko County Sheriff's Department and Syracuse-Wawasee Lake Patrol present. Ison, who instructed the class, is a member of the fire department rescue squad, an EMT and certified scuba diver."

Wed.. May 18,1983—THE MAIL-JOURNAL

Ambulance competitions were held on Thursday, May 13, with one Kosciusko County emergency medical technician team participating in the 10-team competition. North Webster Emergency Medical Technicians Lynda Eastman and Dena Miner represented North Webster EMS in the competition. While they were not one of the three top winners, they did place well in the competition. Saturday’s session was attended by several Kosciusko County representatives. Sue Ann Mitchell and Dixie Likens attended for North Webster EMS. Milford EMS sent a very impressive delegation of eight. Those attending from Milford were John Murphy, John Perry, Monica Bice, Carole Shively, Susie Chupp, Natalie Stump, Eldon Chupp and Barbara Richardson. Joe Disboro attended for MultiTownship EMS. Tony Hartman, training paramedic from Kosciusiko County, also attended. The day was began with Conrad Satala, MD, presenting a talk on the danger of stress among health care professionals. Satala advised the group on the value of relaxation. Burnout is a factor in many EMT and medical field related professions due to the demanding nature of the work. Satala pointed out that learning to deal with stress can be just as vital to an EMT’s training as learning patient care techniques. Paul V. Blusys, MD, presented a session on the unconscious patient. He covered instructions on the Glascow Coma Scale and use to rate a patient’s level of consciousness. Acute miocardial infraction was Michael Mirror’s, MD, topic for the third session of the day. Dr. Mirror emphasized the administration of nitro and oxygen to any patient experiencing AMI. Time is of the essence to prevent extensive heart damage at the onset of AMI. Hill Hastings 11, MD, clinical assistant professor, Department of Orthopaedics, Indiana University Medical Center, spoke with a colored slide presentation on replantation of upper extremity amputations.

Albert Schweitzer once wrote that "Late on the third day. at the very moment when, at sunset, we were making our way through a herd of hippopotamuses, there flashed upon my mind, unforseen and unsought, the phrase, 'Reverence for Life*. Now I had found my way to the idea in which affirmation of the world and ethics are contained side by side: now I knew that the ethical acceptance of the world and of life, together with the ideals of civilization contained in this concept, has a foundation in thought". It often takes a single moment to put something so precious into proper perspective. The funeral service does provide just such a moment. At HARRIS FUNERAL HOME, SR 13 and CR 1000 N, we realize this and through our services and facilities strive to provide the atmosphere and guidance that allows for such a moment, such a proper tribute and such a necessary moment of reflection.
