direct cost to themselves, to the ex-
tent of 12 treatments per year and
15 in the case of seniors.

In addition, in many cases the $5
user fee may be paid by a provin-
cial ag:ncy or a private medical
plan...
Public workshops and health
bulletins will be two of the
methods used to get the word out.
The group’s next workshop is
planned for Thursday, Aug. 25 at
1:30 p.m. in the West Vancouver
Memorial Library.

So far, the support group has
been given access to Dr. Frank
Martin’s office for typing and sec-
retarial needs. James says similar

groups have been formed in
Nanaimo and Kelowna with great
success, not only in public educa-
tion about chiropractic treatment
but also by adding their voices to
political issues such as hospital ac-
cess, better coverage for seniors
and cooperation with physicians.

James points out that all studies
done to date show that increased
utilization of chiropractors by the
public helps reduce government in-
surance costs, pressure on hospital
staffs and lost time from work.

For more information on the
new Chiropractic Support Group,
contact James in care of Martin's’
office at 4230-1425 Marine Drive,
West Vancouver V7T [B9, or call

ACUPRESSURE technician
Gordon Barnholden knows
from personal experience the
positive effects of his craft.

By PEGGY WHITTAKER
Villager Reporter:

Thirteen years ago, the British
Properties resident and _ iron-
worker, now 33, was working on a
steel cable on the Lions Gaie
Bridge when the weight of the
loose cable pulled him over the
side of the bridge.

The cable, one end of which was
attached to the underside of the
bridge deck, had looped itself
around his left leg, and jerked him
to a stop 15 feet below the bridge.

At the same time, Barnholden
managed to grip the %”’ cable with
one hand. Dangling in the air 90
feet above the ground, it was 20
minutes before he was returned to
safety by co-worker Wayne
Williams, who had himself
precariously lowered by a crane to
the point where he could grab
Barnholden.

Wayne Williams was subse-
quently honored for his bravery,
but for Barnholden it was the start
of many problems.

Plagued with shoulder, back and
muscular troubles, Barnholden’s
vitality steadily declined until he
reached a low, eight years after the
accident, where he says he ‘had
lost the will to get out of bed.”

It was then he was first in-
troduced to Dr. Pauline Wolf and
the healing power of acupressure.

Acupressure is an oriental art
that utilizes finger pressure on key
points of the body to release ten-
sion and improve circulation.
Acupuncture uses the same con-
cept, but stimulates the points with
needles for more immediate
results.

After 25 sessions with Wolf,
Barnholden says he felt completely
cured, and doesn’t feel the ill ef-
fects of his accident today.

Barnholden subsequently
entered the Acupressure Institute
of Berkeley, California, for one
year of intensive study, having also
taken courses such as anatomy,
psychology and physiology.
