Sewer rate increase passes first reading By MfauuE Chapman Staff Writer NAPPANEE Common Council members voted July 18 to table discussions on the third reading of a sewer works revenue bond ordinance, and then approved a sewer rate increase on first reading. The rate increase was outlined using the example of customers utilizing 4,000 gallons sewage works services per month the estimated average throughout the City of Nappanee. Increase for this group was estimated at $31.84. Once the increase takes effect consumers using an estimated 4,000 gallons of services each month will pay a predicted $61.84 per month. "This will be consistent with what we are doing on our water side," said Nappanee Mayor Phil Jenkins in reference to the 2009 increase in services through the water department. Common Council members also approved a resolution for the Title VI Policy regarding grievance procedures. The Nappanee Common Council meets at 7 p.m., the first and third Mondays of each month, inside the Nappanee Municipal Center, 301 W. Lincoln St. Meetings are open to the public.

Keeping Your Life in Motion

Richard McClain, DO Orthopedic Surgeon on staff at SJHS Plymouth Medical Center

What is arthritis? There's an inspirational poster I like of a muscled older man pumping iron with the quote: “Getting old is not for sissies." One of the afflictions of aging is arthritis. Arthritis literally means joint inflammation, but we've taken to using it for osteoarthritis wear-and-tear erosion of joint cartilage. Our joints have shiny, white cartilage on each side that acts like ball bearings when lubricated, allowing movement under tremendous loads. Each joint is encapsulated and lubricated for the “bearings'' and each “capsule" is lined with soft tissue that produces the lubrication. When something disrupts the well-oiled, machine, much like a noisy engine, breakdown occurs. The shiny cartilage eventually erodes, inflammation occurs, the joint swells and we feel pain. As with most orthopedic conditions, initial treatment includes NSAIDs (such as ibuprofen), bracing, ice, multiple "non-traditional" treatments and avoiding painful activities. All of these may slow the progression of arthritis, but none will cure it. After initial treatments no longer work, it's time to see your orthopedic doctor when you want to regain your Life in Motion. If you have a question about how to keep your life in motion, email [email protected]. To schedule an appointment with Dr. McClain, please call Allied Bone and Joint at 574.540.2500.

Photo by Merrie Chapman LORE OR LEGEND? Travelers were treated to a little Myth Busting during the July 16 Quilt Garden Tour, sponsored by the Nappanee Home and Garden Club, While viewing a quilt garden located at the Goshen Courthouse, tour participants were quizzed on the history of the small stone Police Booth located there. Fun facts shared included: Rumor #1: This stone structure was built on the corner between two banks to help protect the banks from John Dellinger. FALSE! It was built five years after Dellinger died. Rumor #2: There are underground tunnels leading between the police booth and courthouse. FALSE! The only thing beneath this tiny protected room is a room of the same size holding only a boiler, and decorated by cobwebs.
