MAKING HISTORY— A cornerstone lays on the northwest corner of the Leesburg town hall, commemorating the town’s sesquicentennial celebration in 1983. The new cornerstone took place of another, placed on the same spot on Oct. 17,1936.
'Leesburg is a growing community:' Coldrone
Situated in northeast Indiana, just west of Tippecanoe Lake, Leesburg is a small fanning community, but you won’t find any small talk among its area residents — who choose, rather, to talk in larger terms when it concerns their town. “We’re a growing community and to continue that growth we have to attract other businesses and industries to the area,” commented Ron Coldrone, owner of the Uptown Hardware in Leesburg and president of a newly formed business and merchant organization. The organization had its birth in September, 1985, and since that time the community has been striving to accelerate the process of attracting businesses with the help of secretary Jan Barger, Barger Furniture; George Payton of Patona Bay Boat Service, director of advertising, and Doug Jones, of Jones Food Center, who is in charge of promotions. “We are trying to make people realize that Leesburg is here,” Coldrone said. Many found out of the town’s existence after a successful “Candleria” Dec. 22. The inaugural celebration, which is planned to be repeated next year, involved 1,600 candles which were placed in bags filled partially with sand (luminaries) and placed
Syracuse Spinal Care Center offers help for back pain
Has life been a real “pain in the back” lately? A remedy is available at the Syracuse Spinal Care Center, 312 S. Huntington. With a trained professional on hand 43 hours a week, the center is ready to help you with back problems, as well as many of the lesser known problems associated with the spine. “There are 24 movable vertebrae in the spine, making it relatively easy for one to slip out of place, which in turn pinches the spinal nerve,” Dr. James R. Thwaits, Doctor of Chiropractic medicine (D.C.) explained, adding, “This often causes many problems that people don’t realize could be prevented had they seen a chiropractor.” According to Dr. Thwaits, the eight most common danger symptoms include: headaches; low back pain or stiffness; pain between the shoulders; loss of sleep or chronic tiredness; neck stiffness; arm or hand numbness; painful joints, and leg pain or numbness. Treatment for these symptoms involves an easy and virtually painless process at the Spinal Care Center. “The first thing we do with a new patient is to take a spinal X-ray to determine if there’s any misalignment within the spine,” Dr. Thwaits explained. “While I’m developing the X-ray I like to have them view a 10-minute video on chiropractic medicine to educate them on what it involves, then I have them sit in a massaging chair for 10 minutes before the adjustment, which usually takes an additional 10 minutes during the first visit.” Discarding an “ill conceived” notion that

throughout the town’s streets —a tradition adopted from New Mexico. As many as 300 people were estimated to have participated in the celebration. “It turned out better than we expected, we had 50 volunteers who helped line the streets,” Doug Jones, chairman for the event, commented, adding, “We owe a great deal of thanks to the volunteers and hope to have even more participation next year. ” Participation within the community throughout the year also helped the town prosper economically. “We were awarded a grant for new traffic signs, which should be installed in the spring, and a few businesses experienced growth through expansion and new services they were able to offer,” Harold Jones, one of the town’s chief organizers, commented. Automotive Unlimited, SR 15, expanded its body shop facilities while Jones Food Center, Van Buran Road, began a wholesale meat route, which serves a bulk of Kosciusko County, during the course of the year. While new industries haven’t staked ground yet, the “talk of the town” is that they may find their way into the community in the future with the help of the new business and merchant organization — and that’s no small talk.
chiropractors are “out to get your money,” Dr. Thwaits remarked, “If I see something that I know I can’t treat I let the patient know, telling them to let their family doctor know about the problem, or if they wish. I’ll refer them to a specialist. ” Another misconception about the practice, according to the doctor, is that it’s designed mainly for the elderly. “On the contrary, I treat several younger people as well, infants can even be treated.” While many mothers may frown on the idea of bringing their infant to a chiropractor, Dr. Thwaits explained, “Sometimes kids will have a bed wetting problem due to spinal misalignment while other problems, such as scoliosis, can be remedied or even prevented with proper treatment. Scoliosis, a lateral curvature of the spine, is a very serious problem among younger children, according to the five-year veteran. So, while many problems may not be visible to the naked eye, an initial 30-minute visit to the Syracuse Spinal Care Center may prevent years of suffering in the future. “It’s not painful, and after the first visit sometimes all it requires is a 10-minute visit once a month or less,” Dr. Thwaits said. With no appointments necessary, the center is ready to serve you from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to noon Saturdays. “We always let you know how long the wait will be, if there is one, and prices are very reasonable,” Dr. Thwaits said, adding, “We’re not the ‘bone crushers’ so many people allure to, nobody has to be afraid to come see us.”
