    Noe was diagnosed with stage four melanoma on his left ear in June and will be unable to work for at least a year. The problems with his ear began in February 1998 when Noe was in a car accident.

    Zumba classes held on Wednesday

    Zumba.

    Even the name sounds fun.

    Zumba, pronounced "zoom-ba" is a high-energy workout combined with Latin music that has been growing in popularity since its introduction in the 1990s.

    “Our slogan is ‘ditch the workout and join the party,’” said Jessi Clemons, a certified Zumba instructor who conducts classes in Elizabethtown four days a week. “It’s a good workout and a good time.”
