KEDWELL Former RCMP liked politics in high school ByANIPEDERIAN Herald staff When Dave Whiting was a high school student in Dartmouth Nova Scotia he was in voived in a model parliament Today Mr

Mounted Police For nearly years Mr Whiting was with the getting out in July to try his hand at real estate and politics During his time with the force Mr Whiting did a fair bit of travelling out west

ths at Governor General Roland residence Rideau Hall and Prime Minister Pierre home on Sussex Drive In full RCMP regalia Mr Whiting would open doors for dignitaries and maintain security around the homes It got a little more serious around the 1970s when the erupted he said Among the wellknown guests Mr Whiting saw close up was friend Barbara Streisand the American singer and movie star Physed head Continued from page have turned out and the SAA thing is coming along They are an organized group and have goals they want to establish The Hall of Fame is a combined effort of the the phys ed department and interested staff The Coop program is going well Clat worthy said but added he would like to see it expand We have kids who go to the elementary schools but I like to see it expand into the community For example have some kids go to a place like Work That Body and work in the community However I know it takes time to get that sort of thing going Clatworthy is also responsible for the budgeting of money for his department When school is nearly finished he distributes budget proposals to the different personnel and then upon receiving them looks over the different DAVE WHITING She was pleasant enough Mr Whiting said The higher up they were the more pleasant they were It was the aides to the aide who were ass s Trudeau was okay He always had a good word for you he said The Governor General had two Siamese cats which they would let out nights Every night the security would find the door open after the cats had been left out and theyd have to go through a drill to make sure nobody had sneaked into Hall They never found intruders Mr Whiting said Transferred eventually to Toronto the father of two Leigh 12 and Mark found himself doing a lot of plain clothes work or white collar crime When it started getting to be a lot of administrative work rather than police work Mr Whiting left the The Whiting were already living in Acton having moved there hi because Heather liked small towns and didnt like the larger Toronto area Both husband and wife work for Remax selling real estate He takes those into the finance meetings and presents them If they are accepted then fine If not he goes over the different proposals with those Involved and works out a suitable situation for the upcoming year One of the more frustrating aspects of Clatwojthys job is trying to maintain the equipment he currently has on the budget he is allotted Recent years have seen educational institutions receiving less and less from the provincial government We get good support here from the ad ministration Theyre willing to give what we need to run the program I think the kids here have an excellent program that is financed well The Board of Education pretty well takes care of our transportation costs about 30 per cent of the tournament fees uniforms and officials fees The rest we get from fundraising he said In keeping with the emphasis puts on looking out for the school as a whole he tries to make It out to as many athletic events as possible I think it is an important role for ail department heads to be involved One of the frustrating things for me is that I do everything else and sometimes I dont have the time to go
