The • court heard that Robert Fehr of RR1 Seaforth was stopped for speeding in Usborne Township. He told the officer that he did not have his license with him, but identified himself as Gerald Fehr.

The court was told Jennifer Walker made eight false reports on her UIC card between April and July of 1990, saying that she was unemployed when in fact she was working. The judge heard that Walker knew she had done wrong, but had done so because of financial difficulties compounded by seri- ous car accident her husband was involved in the year before. Her husband has only just gone back to work, and at present Walker is unemployed and on welfare. Judge R.G.E. Hunter gave Walker six months to pay the fine, or face 20 days in jail.

Chiropractor alleviates pain and skepticism by Rhonda Vandeworp LUCAN - They are not medical doctors, and thus are not certified to alleviate my pain. Typical senti- ments like these are common when one considers the field of chiro- pratics, but they are not necessari- ly accurate claims Ruth Bondy, a chiropractor who has recently opened her own office in Lucan. There still exist skeptics who question the abilities and creden- tials of a chiropractor, says Bondy, but overall the public and those people involved in the medical field have begun to show a greater respect for this profession because of the increased intensity of the education requirements. Each person interested in chiro- practics must complete two years of University -level cours- es in chemistry, physics aid biology before applying.t. a chiropractic school. Si ce Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College in Toronto is the only institution in Canada which of- fers the preparatory four-year course, entrance requirements are strict. For the first two years the edu- cation requirements do not differ extensively from that of a medical doctor. Before specialization, both fields must study the neuro- muscular skeletal system (nervous system, spine, muscles), learn to take and read X-rays, and intensely study the anatomy of a human be- ing with the use of text books and cadaver studies. The main difference between medical doctors and chiropractors is the restriction placed on the latter to prescribe drugs. Instead of chemical cures, chiropractors stress nutrition and exercise as tools to re- covery. "Our philosophy is preventing pain from coming back, but the pa- tients have a part to do too. They must exercise, watch their weight, and control stress." Bondy contin- ues, "They receive more benefits than just the loss of pain. They of- ten have increased energy, and it tends to help asthma. People just aren't aware of the benefits." It's the chiropractic philosophy of nutrition and exercise instead of drugs that attracted Bondy to this profession. "I was always involved in sports in high school, and as a result I ob- tained sports injuries. My coach recommended I see a chiropractor sawfirsthand the benefits of the philosophy," says Bondy. Over the past 10 years, medical doctors have also begun to notice the rewards provided by this form chiropractor, and Bondy realizes this. Ruth Bondy shows the proper position of the spine. "I know there's a need for drugs of treatment, and as a result, began cutting down on the number of back surgeries. Not all back prob- lems, however, can be cured by a sometimes, and 1 send them to see doctors. However. I try to catch the problem before surgery is nec- essary," she explains. After graduating from the Cana- dian Memorial Chiropractic Col- lege, Bondy began associating in London, and in 1989, set up a part- time business in her home in Lu - can. By the fall of last year, her number of patients were substantial enough to leave London and set up an office in downtown Lucan. Bondy's patients include a wide range of individuals including any- thing from babies and infants, to young hockey players with knee and shoulder injuries, and to senior citizens with headaches or Icw back pain. Because many of Bondy's pa- tients are local hockey and baseball players, she has been able to com- bine her interest in snorts with her profession. Bondy enjoys devoting much of her "spare" time to study- ing sports medicine and attending seminars related to that subject. In addition to her practice and her studies, Bondy is often invited to give presentations at area elemen- tary schools forcareer days and —Spinal Wealth Week. There needs to be more public awareness, concludes Bondy. "Teaching the children gets me ex- cited about my profession, but it also continues to cut down the lack of understanding." 23ae_i'n©gz CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS K i - HEART AND STROKE FOUNDATION OF ONTARIO BEST'S EAT IN • DRIVE THRU Kime,Mills,Dunlop.
