"The costs referred to are pri- marily personal in nature and therefore are seldom, mentioned by a sitting member of Parlia- jected to almost unbearable ten- sion and strain.

The News learned last week that Judy and Chris Joubert, who is a Township of Terrace Bay councillcr, submitted a successful bid to purchase the Schreiber property. The two currently operate the Aguasabon Falls Trailer Park on the western boundary of Terrace Bay. In a telephone interview from St. Catherine's where he was vac- tioning, Joubert confirmed that he purchased the Schreiber trailer park on Oct. 1. He said he was informed on Friday, Sept. 30 that his purchase bid was successful, but he left for Toronto the next day on Terrace Bay Township business and was not able to inform all the residents of the trailer park. During August, tenants of the trailer homes on the property pleaded for action when they were told by park owner Bob Kragero that they must be off the property by September 1 or face eviction. They said water and power ser- vices would be cut off after that date, and asked Schreiber Township Council to take appro- priate measures. Schreiber councillors contend- ed it was a private matter between Kragero and potential buyers, so Council was powerless to take action on the matter. Joubert stated Schreiber coun- cillors were anxious to find a buyer and were helpful during negotiations. The new owner of the trailer park said the tenants do not have to worry about being evicted. "Everyone is going to stay. The tenants will definitely remain in the park," Joubert told the News. Of the 16 potential units, 12 are currently occupied. Joubert said his wife Judy will manage the park, and the two hope to increase the occupancy rate. Enthusiastic Chiropractor establishes local practice By Greg Huneault 2... the News For some, just hearing the -word 'chiropractor' induces a sharp pain in the lower back. Past experiences with, or sto- ries about, hefty men who put all their weight on one's spine and twist the body in unnatural posi- tions until something pops have made some leery about visiting a chiropractor. For the area's newest and only resident chiropractor, it's a bit of a mission to alleviate some unfounded fears before starting to ~ alleviate discomfort. John Lubberdink, Doctor of Chiropractic, and his wife Susan decided to pack their bags and his Activator -- which will be dis- cussed later -- and establish The Terrace Bay Chiropractic Office. They moved from Toronto where John had a practice for eight years. The actual art of 'realigning' or 'manipulating' joints has a his- tory as old as the beginnings of medicine, but the profession of chiropractic was established around 1895. Although the art of getting a kink out of someone's back or relieving a tense neck did begin with manual manipulation, the profession has come along way since then, says Lubberdink. Today, a chiropractor's main tool is an Activator. Rather than manipulate joints until the occa- _Patient is in great discomfort, a Chiropractor will use the Activator to improve joint mobility. Loosely resembling a syringe, the Activator has a rubber tip the diameter of a nickel which can be positioned over the affected area. The chiropractor then squeezes down as he would with an injec- tion, and the rubber tip is punched ~down in 1/300th of a second. It impacts the affected area with 32 pounds of pressure, and is designed to improve movement around the joint. Despite it's resemblance to a hyperdermic needle, it is completely painless. That fact, says John, reflects the evolution of the profession. The profession, says John, "is slowly becoming more and more accepted. WCB (Workmen's Compensation Board), OHIP (Ontario Health Insurance Plan) make partial payment, and there are various insurance programs that make payments," to those who receive treatment. Treatment ranges from simply educating the patient about proper posture to a series of treatments that will improve joint mobility. John looks forward to becom- ing a part of the local healthcare delivery system. He first saw the area almost 20 years ago when he was an air crewman with the Air Force while on a flight over Northern Ontario. mous benefits and huge costs. As_ ment.
