it is, in fact, a top priority. They invited him to keep the lines of communication flowing, and that continued discussions with engineers will, in time, bring about a resolution that will alleviate both Holdeman's worries and the influx of flood waters. Specific steps that have been or will be soon be implemented included a plan to lower a camera into the lines to establish if there is a blockage of some sort that would cause water to back up at that site. The council also noted that they have submitted a relevant grant application which would assist the town in reconfiguration of that intersection, which is visibly sloped in that area. In other business, Brian Maurer was on hand, representing the Wakarusa Fire Department, to ask the council to consider appropriating an additional SSOOO to the department. Maurer said that the funds would be used for payroll purposes, so that members could be compensated in a comparable fashion with other area departments. The council pondered the subject aloud, recommending several ideas such as greater financial contributions from the surrounding townships that utilize the emergency services of the town. Another thought, raised by an audience member, was to begin charging a fee for false alarm calls, or to places where repeated calls are sometimes received for patient assistance. Maurer expressed reluctance to the latter, stating that the residents are already paying for those services by way of tax dollars. However, he did agree to compile some statistics, as requested by the council, on how many calls are made in the town limits, versus how many are made beyond the range of Wakarusa. The council will likely make a decision after reviewing those numbers. Financial matters acted upon by the council included: • Allowing the purchase of a 2016 Dodge Charger for the Wakarusa Police Department, accepting the lowest quote from Sorg Dodge in the amount of $26,913. This brings the number of available vehicles for the force to four cars and one SUV. The Durango will be for the use of the police reserves. • Accepting a quote from Wakarusa Tree Spade in the amount of $11,750 to replace the aging downtown trees, of which there are approximately 20 in all. The trees will carry a two-year warranty as well. • Approving an appropriation of $300,000 from the MVH fund to the Community Crossing Matching Grant program, which would increase the potential for a matching grant award. The next scheduled session of the Wakarusa Town Council is set for Tuesday, Sept. 6 at 6:30 p.m. in the council chambers of the Wakarusa Town Hall. The public is welcome to attend.

Photo by Merrie Chapman HISTORY OF FESTIVAL ABOVE: The Amish Acres Arts and Crafts Festival, held August 4-7, featured many art forms. Samples of those were displayed inside a common tent where visitors were treated to a timeline of national events-and the art festival's many levels of progression and transition occurring over the past 54 years. Be watching next week for more details on the history of the annual festival.
MICHIGAN VISITORS
RIGHT: Randy and Linda Sharpe, from Grand Rapids, Mich., described seeing an ad in their local newspaper describing a wonderful 'art festival in Nappanee that was among the top 300 in the nation.' Determining that it was located a short distance from Shipshewana-where they were already headed - the couple agreed to make an extra stop. As a result the Sharpes found themselves at the Amish Acres Arts and Crafts Festival Aug. 6, and seemed delighted at the prospect of learning more about the city.

Keeping Your Life in Motion
R
Richard McClain, DO Orthopedic Surgeon on staff at SJHS Plymouth Medical Center
Hip pain Our hips are the true “ball-in-socket" joints of bur bodies, connecting our legs to our torso. Like our knees, all our weight goes through these joints as we walk and run. The socket is rimmed by a soft lip called a labrum, which helps maintain a slight suction to keep the ball in place. Like other such joints, we have lubricating fluid that maintains the health of the, cartilage “ball bearings." One common complaint I hear is hip pain next to the spot where your hip bone sticks out. It's not actually the hip “joint," but the area where big hip tendons rub over the "hip bone." A small lubricating bursa sac between the bone and the tendons protects the tendons from rubbing wear and tear. When the sacs get irritated and inflamed ("bursitis"), lateral hip pain results. Hip bursitis can be quite painful, but is very treatable. Treatment typically begins with rest, ice, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and avoiding painful activities. Should pain persist after a reasonable amount of time, cortisone injections, physical therapy and sometimes surejery can resolve the pain. Surgery, while effective, is often a last resort. Either way, my goal is to get 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.
