Last night was a very busy last shift for paramedic Dean Miller. This morning at 0700 he received his last call thanking him for his years of service and dedication. Throughout his 33 years of service, Dean not only served the members of Johnson County, but also Washington County and the city of Kalona. We wish Dean the best retirement possible and hope to see him around in the future. Please give a shout out to Dean for all he has done for our communities.
