She brought the torch further into Nappanee and handed it off to Larry Thompson Nappanee's mayor for 20 years. During his two decades as mayor, Thompson was instrumental in promoting the city in growing both residentially and in the business community. His leadership came after serving on the Nappanee Board of Parks and Recreation and Wa-Nee Community Schools Board of Directors. As mayor, Thompson continued his commitment to outreach through the Nappanee Kiwanis service club and working with the American Red Cross. He also led the charge for recovery following the devastation struck throughout the eastern side of Nappanee by an F 3 tornado that swept through Oct. 18, 2007. Outside his political career, Thompson has also been and continues to be a businessman. He is co-owner and director of ThompsonLengacher & Yoder Funeral Homes in Nappanee and Wakarsua. Thompson carried the Bicentennial Torch atop his carriage hearse a true depiction of early Indiana before cars designed to carry caskets. He passed by North Wood High School and came to a rest before his Nappanee funeral home where he called City Attorney Brian Hoffer to assist him in passing the flame onto a torch held by Peg Hoffer, the attorney's mother. Peg Hoffer has spent a lifetime championing causes near and dear to the City of Nappanee and its residents. Many years ago, in the wake of losing her husband, she didn't let her broken heart stop her from finishing his commitment in leading the Nappanee Area Chamber of Commerce as director. After that, she continued to stand by residents, groups and churches alike to promote special projects, occasions and developments for the enhancement and advancement of the City of Nappanee. Hoffer carried the torch as she rode

Her route continued south on Main Street (S.R. 19) and turned west on Market Street (U.S. 6) coming to rest in front of the Nappanee Center, a mere half block from the office of Nappanee Water and Waste Water Superintendent Gale Gerber. He was the next to take the torch before loading into the Nappanee Paramedic Emergency Medical Services Gator. Gerber carried the torch on to Bremen. Gale Gerber has worked for the City of Nappanee over two decades, starting as Waste Water Superintendent. Gerber spent countless hours researching potential governmental grants that wound up literally saving Nappanee millions of dollars in achieving needed city projects for expansion and road improvements, as well as meet the demands of federally mandated Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) work. These four individuals rightfully represented the City of Nappanee each with their own contributions, representing all ages and the many different facets of the community. MIDDLEBURY, ELKHART, GOSHEN, WAKY & NAPPANEE ELKHART COUNTY The rising sun over rural Middlebury on Tuesday, Oct. 4 was not only beautiful, but properly befitting for the atmosphere of celebration that was about to begin. The light in the skies was not unlike the light of glorious flame that wound its way across Elkhart County that day, just one part of a 92 county, 3,200-mile journey meant to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Hoosier state. The morning began with the official Elkhart County launch at the Myßrook Dairy Farm on CR 43 in Middlebury, where the ceremony recognized each of the torchbearers that would be participating in the trek across Middlebury, Elkhart, Goshen, Wakarusa, and

Nappanee. Jubilant cheers followed a celebratory toast with bottles of milk emblazoned with the state bicentennial logo. The designated bearers of the torch were selected through a process of nomination that was the source of controversy this past summer, when there was a call to incorporate more diversity in the representation of runners. A special committee was later formed to honor several leaders of civic causes throughout the region, including those who work for the Latino and AfricanAmerican causes. But there was no hint or trace of ill will shown that day, as the torch relay went off splendidly. Some chose to run or stride, others were spirited along in classic cars, tractors, or buggies. Several area schools permitted classes to be put on hold for the occasion, allowing children to witness this unique event. A number of communities also welcomed guests with cookouts and block parties. The torch relay moved through Elkhart before heading southbound into Goshen, then tracking west to Wakarusa, and then finally south to Nappanee. The Elkhart County leg of the adventure ended at Amish Acres at approximately 3 p.m., where closing ceremonies were conducted. The official team representing Elkhart County in the Bicentennial Torch Relay included the following individuals: Dr. Robert Abel, Wakarusa; Jim Bare, Goshen; Tschai Bean, Elkhart; Craig Blough, Goshen; Sandra Bontrager, F.lkhart; Jane Bums, Elkhart; Mary Ann Eisenbeiss, Bristol; Gregg Fore, Middlebury; Gale Gerber, Nappanee; Joe Gold, Elkhart; Sam Grcwe, Middlebury; Ruperto Guedea, Goshen; Nancy Hannah, Elkhart; Kamari Hennings, Elkhart; Peg Hoffer, Nappanee; Kin Hunsberger.

Keeping Your Life in Motion

Elbow pain Another common malady I see is lateral (outer) elbow pain. This is typically an overuse syndrome where repetitive motion causes inflammation and pain. Our elbows provide the anchor points for the muscles and tendons that power our wrist and fingers. The outer/lateral side anchors the extensor muscles that straighten the fingers and extend the wrist. The inner/medial side anchors the flexor muscles that flex the wrist and fingers. Chronic extensor tendon overuse leads to lateral elbow pain called ‘‘tennis elbow.” Flexor tendon overuse leads to medial elbow pain called “golfer's elbow.” Treating the syndromes starts with oral medications such as ibuprofen as well as doing stretching exercises, using straps or braces and lessening the activities that aggravate the pain. If pain persists after two to four weeks, the next steps would be cortisone injection and/or physical therapy. Should pain continue, then it's time to consider arthroscopic surgery. Good results can be had with extremely small incisions. Whatever your problem, I'm happy to help you get your Life in Motion.
