Metcalf has been an active part of the North Webster community for over 56 years, and has been a fireman for 52 years. He was one of the brave men who banned together in 1976 to start North Webster’s first EMS. But bravery is nothing new for Metcalf as he’ckserved in theNavy in the 1940 s during World War 11. Profile “I’ve always been interested in the people of North Webster and •enjoy helping them out," commented Metcalf. He moved with his family to the area in 1918 as a seventh grader and volunteered as a fireman at the tender age of 16. After graduating from North Webster High School, he worked at White Front Grocery, did some carpentry work, worked for Gatke Corporation and started Metcalf & Payne Plumbing and Heating. He was an active part of his new founded company for over 37 years, at which time he retired. But Bill Metcalf doesn’t retire the way other men do.

“Before I retired from the company, I set up my present job with the Department of Natural Resources,” stated Metcalf. He works with the fish and wildlife division, and enjoys being out-of-doors and working with wildlife. ' “Right now I’m doing a lot of mowing andpicking up trash in order to get the public access sites ready for the summer fisherman,” he stated. There are more than 120 public access sites in Northern Indiana, all of which are maintained by the Department of Natural Resources. But there’s a lot more to his job than cleaning and mowing, as Metcalf explained, “one thing I like is when it’s time to do the geese banning." He continued, “L enjoy watching the fish and wildlife grow, and like catching them to put the bans on. We do this in order to study migration of the geese, at this point we know they travel from Canada to the southern states . And, we trap and ban the wood-duck also. ” Metcalf explained that another part of his job he enjoys is working with the fish hatchery. As he helps remove the fish from the hatchery and the department raises some too. However, when he’s not working directly with the wildlife, Metcalf is busy putting in “foodplates” for them. In this, he helps plant sunflower, sorghum, millet, corn and wheat, which the wildlife are allowed to feed off of. “I figure we’re doing a service for a lot of people,” said Metcalf, “so the fishermen and hunters can enjoy what they do. I use to fish and hunt, but now I’d just as soon let someone else do it, and I’ll just watch the fish and wildlife grow. ’ ’ Through the years, Metcalf has been a part of numerous emergency squads for his community and his country, and stated, “I’ve had a lot of fun and seen a lot of disasters.” But nothing seems to stop Bill Metcalf; when it comes to helping his community he’s always there with a lending hand.
