Should he bank his future on the natural abilities he had shown while playing goal for the Junior C Lindsay-Trent Muskies and the Junior A Belleville Bulls? Or should he follow the instinctive instinctive appeal that becoming a police officer had contained for him since early secondary school? In the final analysis, he opted to abandon the chancey nature of professional hockey in favor of the police field which he believed would offer a sound and rewarding career. Having made the decision to work toward this objective, Dan enrolled in the law and security course at Peterborough's Peterborough's Sir Sandford Fleming College. At the conclusion conclusion of year one, however, he heard about the Durham Regional Police cadet recruitment recruitment program. He wasn't old enough to apply for full fledged fledged police constable training but the cadet program was another matter. If he were accepted, Dan believed the on-the-job situation would provide him with a practical knowledge of police work he couldn't possibly experience in the college classroom. Again, he followed his instincts instincts and made application for the cadet program which was resurrected last November November for the first time in several Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. with help for your car, home, life and boat insurance.

The Bowmanville councillor also spoke of the need for improved communications within the municipality. municipality. She mentioned an incident in which a potential industrial client who visited this municipality found himself enquiring about industrial land at the Bowmanville Museum. "We need to be seen by the region as a group of people who are willing to work together for the town," she said. Councillor Ann Cowman spoke of the need to encourage industrial growth by developing tourism. "I have concerns that we are beating a dead horse," she said. She added that good tourist facilities which (From Page One) present the town as a friendly, progressive progressive place will go a long way towards towards attracting industrial clients. Councillor Ivan Hobbs noted that an industrial committee can only be successful if it works quietly, and confidentially, with a minimum of people. "Unless the facts can be confined to a very small group of people, you're a loser to start with," he said. Referring to the Town of Bow- manville's experience with an industrial industrial commission, Councillor Hobbs said some industrial sales were jeopardized because information information on new industries leaked from the committee. The general purpose committee's recommendations on the forming of a group to consider industrial promotion will now go to town council council for approval. Dan Mitchell of Pontypool is one of five young men with the Durham Regional Police who were hired last November in the force's cadet training program. A former goalie for the Junior C Lindsay - Trent Muskies and Junior A Belleville Bulls, he abandoned any pursuit of a professional hockey career in favor of policing. He is presently assigned to 17 division headquarters in Oshawa. years. That was eight months ago and today Dan works as a police cadet assigned to 17 division headquarters in Oshawa, He is one of five who were selected for the program. program. At first glance he looks like any other Durham Regional Police constable. But to the observant eye there are a couple of minor differences in uniform. A flash badge on his left shoulder gives him a cadet designation. Second, the band on his cap is black rather than the regulation red issued to police constables. Otherwise, he looks like any other police officer. Moreover, he talks like any other police officer and if Dan has anything anything to do with it, tie will someday soon become - one. However, until he reaches his 21st birthday next February, age prevents him from being accepted to serve with the Durham force as a police constable. constable. Meanwhile he is establishing establishing an edge through his practical experience as a cadet. Optimistically, he awaits the day with enthusiasm enthusiasm when he will be sent to the Aylmer Police College for officer training. At the start" of the current cadet program Dan was assigned assigned to the front desk at headquarters in Oshawa. He's currently with the summons bureau delivering subpoenas and summonses. Dan says the entire scope of the job is interesting and a real learning experience. "I can't believe the past eight months have gone by so quickly," he stated. And apparently he has fitted in nicely with the rest of the boys in blue for Dan revealed he plays hockey and baseball with the Durham Regional Police teams. The 5'U" young man who hopes to serve and protect, admits that nobody knows what something will really be like until it is tried. And now that he's had that chance, Dan says that policing is just like he thought it would be. The cadet program is similar similar to an apprenticeship training, training, he explained. And because because of it, his enthusiasm for the profession soars higher than it ever did before. BY DONNA FAIREY A new manager has been freshly installed at Bowman- ville's Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. John Eaton officially assumed the managerial responsibilities recently for both the uptown and mall locations. The 33-year-old native of Belleville replaces Art McVitty who has been promoted promoted to a position with the CIBC branch location in Newmarket. Mr. Eaton, who prefers to be called John, has been with the CIBC for 14 years. He began his career in banking as a management trainee in his hometown of Belleville. From there he was moved to Midland where he was promoted promoted to discount clerk. In his climb to the position of manager he served varying stints of time at head office in Toronto, Huntsville, Ajax, Sudbury and two branch locations locations in Oshawa. His first managerial post came when he was transferred transferred to Brooklin three and a half years ago. It was from the Brooklin branch that he was promoted to Bowmanville. John admits that he's a sports enthusiast but concedes that becoming acquainted with a new town and a new post will leave little time for extra curricular activities for the next half year. The new manager says he is presently looking upon his transfer to Bowmanville as a long term assignment. He says the posting will likely last for a minimum of five years. "But you never can tell," he stated. Speaking of the country's current financial state, he said, "All the indicators point to an improvement. The situation situation seems to have somewhat levelled itself out, but I think there could still be a pretty tough row to hoe yet," he added. "It will take us as long to get out of the mess as it did to get into it," he stated. As a bank manager the health of the economy is John's natural concern. However, However, another priority on which he presently places top significance is getting to know the community and the CISC's customers.
