What possible connection could there be between rural Milford and the Winter Olympics? The an- swer is found a short drive west of town on the curvy Orn Road in a few simple buildings behind an old farmhouse. Winter Olympics sites require large amounts of water to be moved up mountains through pumping systems in order for snow to be made. That' s where Torrent Engi- neering and Equipment enters the picture. Founded in 2000, it is oper- ated by 1977 Wawasee High School graduate Joe Cousins and his part- ner, Mark Meadows.

Approval was given by Kosciusko County to start a business in an agricultural area. His parents, Dean and Mar- garet Cousins, still live on the farm but their land is rented for farming by others. The buildings used by Torrent now were no longer needed for the farm so they were adapted for re- use. Locally, in addition to the de- sign work, welding, fabrication and electrical work is done.

When former Syracuse resi- dent, Ronald Stoll, submitted his recent book, ™ Wellness: The Good, the Bad and the Opportunity, to the Mayo Clinic for review, he did not expect them to call it the most comprehensive wellness model they have seen. But, they did. In his book, Stoll talks about the OmniWELL Model, now a registered trademark. Inspiration came after he had two strokes.
