Across the country, someone receives a unit of blood every two seconds. According to the American Red Cross, the nation is dealing with a blood shortage with a 20% decrease in blood supply. Hyacinth Ruker, regional communications manager for the Red Cross-Indiana Region, explained blood donations tend to drop in the summer; however, the country coming out of the pandemic and people starting to travel have also contributed to the shortage. “Since COVID and because there’s such a need for blood, we’ve been doing three drives a month at the pavilion,” said Mike Cox, blood program leader for Center Lake Pavilion. Before the pandemic, the Red Cross would hold a daylong — usually 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. — blood drive so those working any shift could stop by and donate blood. Prior to the Aug. 9 blood drive in Warsaw, 211 blood drives had been held with theCoxcollected.16,917donors17,138andunitsnoteddifference between donors and units collected was due to some donors being deferred for various reasons. Cox said many donors have been reluctant to come back due to COVID. “The Red Cross has taken lots of precautions due to COVID, but some are still afraid,” he said. The most needed blood types are O, which is universal, meaning it can be safely transfused into anyone. A negative and B negative are rare blood types that are also in high“Unfortunatelydemand. if you look at the people who need blood, they fall into those categories,” Cox said, noting the supply of A negative and B negative blood is constantly low and in demand. Red blood cells can be stored for 42 days, platelets for five days and plasma can be stored for a year if it’s frozen. Cox said blood supplies tend to stay local. However, in some cases, blood products have been transported by air. Cox, a retired Warsaw Police Officer, remembers doing blood runs. “I’ve picked up blood at Columbia City and taken it to Plymouth. Though it’s contained and refrigerated, it is perishable, so it’s a high speed (ride),” he said. Only 3% of those eligible to donate blood products actually do. While there are some reasons potential donors can’t, such as taking certain medications for chronic conditions, low iron and travel deferrals, most people can donate. In most states, donors need to be 17 or older and weigh at least 110 pounds. Cox said he believes more people don’t donate because they think the procedure may take a long time. Donors do have to do some paperwork prior to the actual donation, but the Red Cross’s Rapid Pass system allows donors to do most of it online prior to their donationDonatingappointment.redblood cells takes about 45 minutes to an hour. Donating platelets takes about 2 to 2 1/2 hours. The closest Red Cross locations for platelet donation are Goshen and Fort Wayne. Other barriers are people thinking the procedure is painful or having a fear of needles. “I think most people don’t think about donating,” Cox said. “Each donation can save three lives depending on what they take/separate blood products. I encourage people to give an hour.” products are needed by bttlidikllldithose tCc1dwbd2i btd theareletsbloodproductsareneededbythoseEveryday29,000unitsofredcells,5,000unitsofplateand6,500unitsofplasmaneededbypatientsacrosscountry.Donatedblood Continued on page 4
Corin Nyce is 19 years old and living her dream life. As a lash tech in Warsaw, specializing in treatments to improve the appearance of eyelashes, she could not be happier with where her decisions landedWhenher.Nyce was a freshman in college she happened to scroll across an ad on Instagram for a lash course. Although this seemed a bit of a stretch she loved the idea of being in control of her own schedule, and owning her own business had always been a dream of hers. She just never thought it would actually come true. But she became determined to make this dream into a reality. After going through the process of getting her certification and spending many hours trying to perfect her skill, she finally was ready to put her talent out in the world. Before joining a salon, Nyce used to practice a lot on a manikin and then on her family andNycefriends.finally found a shop where she felt like she belonged when she joined the Empress Beauty Salon family. “I couldn’t ask for better girls to work with and the environment there is amazing and always so much fun.” Nyce boasts about her fellow colleagues. Before joining Empress she knew the owner of the business, who was looking to expand and happily welcomed her on board. When asked how she got into the business of lashes so fast, she gives credit to Empress Salon for playing a huge role in growing her love for it. Nyce’s love of lashes not only comes from the art of doing it but mainly from the reaction her customers have after she brings to life their ideas they bring into the salon. She loves being a part of the process that helps women feel beautiful and confident. “The smile on their face when looking in a mirror after finishing their set brings me so much joy.” When looking to the future, although Nyce loves working with Empress and doesn’t want to leave, she will not be continuing doing lashes in Warsaw once she leaves for college. This does not mean she will be quitting for good. Even with her busy college schedule and all that will be going on, she still plans to save her time on the weekends and dedicate it to furthering her lash business. Nyce hopes to further her knowledge in the art and find a place where she feels at home again in the future. Although she doesn’t have a set plan for how she wants to further her business after college, she is open to anything and is excited to see where her newfound love takes her.

Celebration held at LDC for new plant
3Wednesday, August 17, 2022 — the PAPER — www.thepapersonline.com
The new lecithin plant comprises best-in-class clarification, drying and degumming process technology. “Thanks to rigorous controls at every stage of the production process, laboratory enhancements and ISO level 7 food grade packaging operations, our facility offers customers product quality assurance, as well as a range of packaging options in bulk trucks, totes and drums,” added Russell. The facility will enable food manufacturers to obtain product attributes customers increasingly desire for lecithin, a versatile emulsifier, dispersing agent, antioxidant and flavor enhancer that can be used in a variety of food applications, including confectionery, chocolate and prepared foods.
“Louis Dreyfus Co. continues to strive … committed to grow with the local community. I’m very pleased to be here to celebrate Louis Dreyfus Co.’s new lecithin plant,” said Michael Gelchie, LDC Global CEO. The celebration was held Wednesday, Aug. 3. The opening of the new plant positions the site as the country’s largest facility integrating soybean processing, biodiesel production and glycerin and lecithin refining operations, as well as a food-grade packaging line and canola oil distribution terminal. Gelchie was one of two guest speakers at the official opening of the soy liquid lecithin plant. U.S. Rep. 2nd District Jackie Walorski was also a speaker. “I remember the day when this was nothing but green corn, green grass and there was nothing here,” said Walorski. “I remember when Louis Dreyfus came in and I started working with them and they became a tremendous asset to this community,” she said. These were among the last words constituents heard Walorski speak in public. She was killed in a two-vehicle crash about 45 minutes after she spoke at the celebration of the opening of the soy liquid lecithin plant at Louis Dreyfus Co.’s Claypool facility. “We are here to celebrate a new era of growth for the Louis Dreyfus Co.,” she said. She noted the Claypool facility was a model for the rest of the country and the facility is a testament of the Hoosier workforce in industry. “I’m thrilled that Louis Dreyfus Co. is a forward-thinking partner and thrilled to help usher in this new phase and their continued support of Hoosiers and Indiana industries. (Other states) don’t know what they are missing.”
Gelchie noted the market trends for plant-based products are transforming in the food and feed industry. “Consumers are shifting to natural products and demand natural ingredients. Our research shows the potential will double by the end of the decade. We are well in the position to meet the demand of higher quality food andGelchiefeed.” said the local facility will have an annual capacity of 6,800 metric tons of soy – antioxidant, flavor enhancers, confection and chocolate at this plant. He noted the strong local operation in Claypool. “Proud this makes Claypool the largest fully integrated soybean production … facility in theHeU.S.”expressed appreciation for their suppliers of product, support of the community, county officials, contractors and others who have helped meet the demand for high-quality soy and soy products. He also expressed appreciation to the customers whose trust has helped expand the business and the employees whose hard work and commitment have made it possible.“Wehave a large footprint here,” Gelchie stated, adding the company is envisioning growing in Claypool. “We definitely have strategic thoughts on how to get more out of our assets, not just a crushing facility. We have a multifaceted functional asset that will enable us to produce many different types of products … all byproducts of soybeans.”
He was here in 1934. Now he’s back.The Kosciusko County Historical Society will commemorate the 88th anniversary of John Dillinger’s infamous visit to the Lake City with the Dillinger Raid IV.

It’s interesting that so many of the hidden artists highlighted in this column were afraid to show their work. This trait makes them seem more relatable to the public because so many non-celebrity artists feel this way as well. It’s refreshing to find a common thread with someone so famous, and surprising to realize Depp has the same insecurities as the rest of us.For more information on Johnny Depp, visit wikipedia.org/wiki/johnny_depp. Events: • Lakeland Art Association, 302 E.

Surprising hidden artist — Johnny Depp “Me? I’m dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It’s the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they’re going to do something incredibly ... stupid.” These words, spoken by Captain Jack Sparrow as portrayed by Johnny Depp in “The Pirates of the Caribbean,” were to catapult Depp to fame in one of the highest moneymaking series of movies in history. As hard as it may be to believe this scalawag captain, our artist this week is honest in his love of art. Johnny Depp is a talented musician, producer, award-winning actor and artist and is the topic of our discussion this week. Depp was born in Owensboro, Ky., on June 9, 1963, and suffered with his siblings at the hand of an abusive mother. Music and drawing were his salvation during these dark times, so he dropped out of high school at age 16 and started a successful band called “The Kids.” At the age of 20, he moved to Los Angeles with his band to pursue a recording contract and met and married Lori Allison, a girl who was friends with Nicholas Cage. Cage encouraged Depp to pursue acting and arranged an audition for Depp. He landed the role. From that point forward, he stepped into many successful roles and has been the recipient of many film and television nominations and awards. Acting was Depp’s way to earn a living and although he enjoyed acting immensely, creating art and music became his therapy over time. Depp has worked throughout his life to teach himself the mechanics of painting, focusing on using the acrylic medium. His art collection called “Friends and Heroes” recently sold out in less than one day at the Castle Fine Art Gallery with sales totaling almost $4 million.The gallery said this about Depp’s work: “He worked from photographic references, stripping each image back to a simpler and iconic portrayal of the subject, which he then developed and energized with his characteristic freehand flourishes.”This technique is distinctive in that Depp does not create a unique portrait, but uses photographic references and then adds to the paintings in a way that results in an exclusive piece of art. Many artists work from photographic references, so that in and of itself is not unusual, but working from references with portraiture is not as common. Depp has created his own style with this process and it has been quite successful. He is also expanding his art by selling NFTs, a popular selling tool using a type of cryptocurrency employed by many artists. A generative art collection of 3,850 “Never Fear Truth” NFTs recently sold on OpenSea and is minted on Ethereum, featuring artwork by Depp. He reflected on his artwork on the Castle Fine Art website, saying, “I have always used art to express my feelings and to reflect on those who mean the most to me, such as my family, friends and people I look up to. … My paintings encircle my life, but I have kept them to myself and limited myself. No one should ever limit themselves.”

Echoes of the Past hosts community tractor show, drive and pull Aug. 5-6
The summer heat and humidity didn’t stop the crowds from enjoying the Echoes of the Past Tractor Show, Drive and Pull Aug. 5-6. Hundreds of patrons were treated to more than 135 vintage and antique restored tractors on display. A vintage thresher, donated by Bill and Becky Thomas, was put into action threshing the wheat the club had bound last month. The straw run through the thresher was then used to hide coins donated by Lake City Bank and golden tokens for the kids to find and trade in for prizes.The prizes were provided by Macallister Machinery, Fort Wayne, TTG Wabash, R.P. Home & Harvest Rochester and Tractor Supply Co. Warsaw. The corn pit, tube slide, tractor driving experience, rolling tubes and rope making were huge hits with all the kids.The horse-drawn wagon ride, owned by Sam Hedington, was one of the favorite events of the weekend. The draft horse pulling the wagon around the event area was purchased by Hedington just a few weeks prior to the event. He was perfect for the job and was loved by Tractorall.pulls kicked into gear Friday evening, beginning with the lower horsepower tractors and ramping up to the higher pulls. Tractors pulled into the night under the lights to the enjoyment of the crowd. The Echoes Club wishes to thank Studebaker Farms for providing and operating the pull sled and equipment. The club would also like to thank Weed Septic for sponsoring the pull.The tractor drive on Saturday morning, traveling through the countryside, led by the club tram, lasted approximately two hours. Fifty tractors, John Deere, Farmall, Oliver, Minneapolis Moline and more, were part of the drive with more than 25 patrons riding the tram. New to the event this year was the addition of garden tractor pulls. The garden tractors began to line up to begin to pull early Saturday morning. Thanks to Brian Wood, 12 people had the pleasure of pulling their garden tractors. Many spectators had never seen garden tractors pull before and enjoyed seeing something different.
Also new this year, The Barrell Scrapers provided live entertainment. Bluegrass and country music playing in the background set the perfect atmosphere for an enjoyable Saturday evening. The addition of an announcer for the event helped visitors know when and where all the different activities were happening. Thank you to Lewis Salvage, Bishop Farms, Diesel Power and Machine, Redpath Fruth Funeral Home and Hartzler Funeral Home for their generous donation to help sponsor the announcer. It made for a great addition to theSomeplaceevent.

There are classes for all ages, ranging from young children to “golden-agers.” Some husk for 10 minutes while others will husk for 20 minutes, depending on the class entered. Additionally, a fourperson team competition is available for entry. The cost to compete is either $10 or $20, depending on the class, which includes a one-year membership in the Indiana Cornhusking Association. The top three contestants in most classes will qualify to compete in the national contest, which will take place Oct. 15-16 in Good Hope, Ill. Admission and parking at the local event are free. Registration begins at 9 a.m., with the contest beginning as soon as the horses are harnessed and ready to go. The contest ends when the last participant has husked, usually between 4-5 p.m. “For most contestants, it is all about ‘bragging rights,’” said Geyer. “But we promote this activity throughout the year at festivals, fairs, schools and community activities. We believe it is important for everyone to understand where their food comes from and to gain a better understanding of how farm products are produced.”

Cardinal Services awarded grant by Old National Bank Foundation
If you grew up in northern Indiana, or even if you’re a transplanted Hoosier, it’s likely that you’ve husked an ear of corn or two in your lifetime. It’s equally as likely, however, that you’ve never done it with the speed and precision that will be exhibited during the Indiana State Corn Husking Contest, which will take place Saturday, Oct. 1, on the Craig Geyer Farm, 20565 Tyler Road, Bremen. This historic competition began in 1926 and features the harvesting of corn by hand, using vintage farm wagons and teams of draft horses.“The Indiana Cornhusking Association is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the education and historical preservation of early methods of corn harvest and hand corn husking,” said the organization’s president, Clay Geyer.“This is a wonderful family event where children and adults can relive the past and experience friendly competition. The event is attended by farmers who husked corn as a child and enjoy sharing their memories and stories. We do it because we love farming.”
