STANLEY LEVINE, D.C. That Back Ache Of Yours Is Predictable One of the most distressing statistics regarding the health of our community's residents is that 8 out of every 10 of them will sometime be struck by low back pain. It is downright depressing when you realize that so much of the pain and suf- fering could be avoided by precautionary checkups or effective treatment at the first sign of the problem. The high incidence of low back pain is not surprising when we combine the facts that most low back pain is due to mechanical defects of the spine. Also, 75% of all forward bending or stooping motion occurs in the low back. The structural or mechanical defects of the low back usually develop slowly AR and without pain over a period of many months. DR. LEVINE The first signs of the developing defect might be no more than an occasional `catch' or a slight change of posture, or a vague weakness or tight feeling in the hips or legs. As the defect develops to a crucial point a slight unguarded move or an unusual exercise is sufficient to disable the victim for days, weeks or, unfortunately, permanently in some cases. People must begin to realize that their chances of low back disablement are high, particularly if they are over 30. We urge all to arrange for regular Chiropractic checkups for potential or existing problems and to receive proper care. Your best insurance against disabling spinal disorders and specifically low back pain, is the detection of spinal defects in the early stages. Don't Live With Pain. We Can Help!

FEBRUARY 3, 1989 Darrin Gursky, son of Beth and Bruce Gursky, and Eli Hyman, son of Carole and Norman Hyman, will twin the observance of their b'nai mitzvah celebration at Mat Shalom Synagogue Saturday with Simeon Kushnirenko, son of Victoria and Igor Kushnirenko of Kiev, USSR. A construction engineer, Kushnirenko has been in poor health since the age of seven when he suffered a concus- sion because his father threw a heavy object that struck his head. He has been in and out of hospitals ever since, and because of his physical state, received an exemption from military service. The father who struck him deserted the family more than 25 years ago. After applying for an exit visa in 1979, Kushnirenko was requested to report to the military office and was told that he would be recruited. A committee for "re-examin- ation" of his physical fitness was organized. He was hospi- talized three times, even be- ing admitted into a mental institution for further examination The medical commission confirmed he was unfit for military duty except in case of war. On the basis of their medical affidavits, the criminal case against Kushnirenko was closed. In September 1979, Kushnirenko, his wife, Vic- toria, a hydraulic technical engineer, and child received permission to leave the USSR. Then, at the instiga- tion of his estranged father, the army refused to reconfirm his medical exemption and the visa was was not given. Kushnirenko's father, Anatoly, born in 1921, is the head of one of the science laboratories of the Academy of Science of the Ukraine. In 1962, there was an article in one of the newspapers criticiz- ing his "immoral behavoir." In February 1979, in a telephone conversation with Kushnirenko's sister, the elder Kushnirenko said that he would give his son a car, a cottage and would help him obtain his master's degree if he would decide not to emigrate. But if the younger Kushnirenko persisted in try- ing to leave, he swore to use all his connections to get him drafted. The elder Kushnirenko's interest in the case of his son whom he deserted years ago is ap- parently explained by the fact that he has a mistress whom he wants to take on a trip around the world. His son's emigration would prevent him from being allowed to do this. On Nov. 14, 1979, Igor Kushnirenko received a phone call from the police and was told to report to the military. He refused to go. The police came to his home, but the family refused to open the door. On Nov. 21, while his wife was out, the police broke in by force and took Kushnirenko and Simeon away. It took Mrs. Kushnirenko three days to find her son and get him back, but the police refused to tell her where her husband was, only saying that he was in the army. Later, it became known that Kushnirenko had declared a hunger strike. He was -being threatened by Kharkov military authorities that if he -refused to take the Oath of Allegiance he would be court-martialed. His wife claims that this is a typical tactic used in the Ukraine to discourage emigration. Meanwhile, she went to Moscow where she asked Soviet official Zotov for visas just for herself and her son, until Kushnirenko's 'case would be cleared up. This she was refused, but she was pro- mised that his case would be finished by Feb. 10, 1980. There still has been no resolu- tion in the case. Darrin and Eli have written to Simeon and will attempt to reach the family by phone. "1"1 LOCAL. NEWS Microwave Classes Offered Norma Schonwetter will teach classes in microwave cooking.
