" IS STOUT § COXA ese ens a dog. $42 21800808 AYTYEREY So Partners for a better community theme of annual Police Week From Page 14 Luckily for the innocent boy, the eyewitness who notified po- lice when the theft happened was able to identify the real cul- pritincourt. - The thief was sentenced to open custody at a group home. He would still attend school and work, but would also be giv- en chores to do around. the group home and would have to abide by a strict curfew. Com- munity service work and pro- fessional counselling were also part of the deal. During the question period after the film, one student asked the distinguished guests if they thought the young of- fenders act was stringent enough. "Fifty hours of cgmmunity work doesn't seem like a great deterent," student Jennifer Fletcher commented. Mr. Mills said open custody at a group home does help the majority of young offenders by "getting them back on stream." If they were behind bars they would not have the chance to continue their education or get the professional counselling they need, he said. A study on violent crimes by youthful offenders is under- way, Mr. Mills said. Another student asked why police officers are charged when they shoot a person. "If we do our duty to the ex- cess, we are scrutinized just like anyone else," said Supt. Bob Brown. "There is an investigation to Utica News by Vera Brown Church and Sunday School this week will be held in Epsom Church at 11:00 a.m. Friday, starting at 5:00 p.m. will be the Pork Chop dinner (Pig- Out) in Utica Hall with proceeds to the United Church. Everyone is welcome. There were 11 tables of euchre ~ played on Friday evening with the following winners: Ladies 1st - Fran Gibson, 2nd - Mary Cannon and 3rd - Kay Brown. Men's 1st - Stan Beach, 2nd - Gordon Wilson and 3rd - Owen Gray. Freeze-out winners were Edna and Elwood Manns, Jean Pogue and Verna Smith were second. Draws were won by Owen Gray, Daisy Sellers and George Harper. 50/50 draw was won by Bill Brown. There will be another euchre in two weeks. Hillis, Carol, Ralph and Elsie Wilbur were in Toronto to attend the wedding of Hilly's sister Dorothy Robertson and Peter Smith and the reception that followed in the Board of Trade Country Club in Woodbridge. Later that evening, Hillis took another trip, this time down the stairs, and had the misfortune to break his arm in two places. He's now sporting a cast up to his elbow. On Saturday, Irene Fielding at- tended a bridal shower for Miss Joy Werry at the home of Judy and Ron Sorenson in Oakwood which was followed by a birthday party for the Sorenson's twins An- drew and John who are two years old now. I don't know if it's some kind of record or not, but George Richardson's dog gave birth on the weekend to 11 pups. I unders- tand that they didn't all survive, but that is some ordeal even for see if an officer went beyond the call of duty." The student pointed out that the officer has only a few mo- ments to make a decision on whether to use his gun, yet the courts take months to multover the situation. The recent changes in the hiring practices of the police service was also questioned. One student called it "white male discrimination" and said the "quota system" would lower the standard of quality on the force. Supt. Brown said 250,000 im- migrants come to Canada each year. About 85 per cent of that number move to Ontario. And 85 per cent of the Ontario immi- grants wind up in the Greater Toronto area. "People will have to accept that," he said. "I believe in the police service representing all ethnicorigins." "But I don't believe in the 'quota system," he added. "I be- lieve in the merit system." Some ethnic groups feel the qualifications are too low, Supt. Brown said. Because a perspec- tive officer only needs a Grade 12 education and no university training, Orientals often view the requirements as too weak. Since the police service is to be a reflection of the communi- ty, the perfect mix would be 50 per cent men and 50 per cent women. "Traditionally we are never Directed by John H.

INFORMATION CALL THE DIRECTOR at 985-0611 going to get 50-50 men and women," Supt. Brown said. And he said that was a shame because the women on the Dur- ham Police Service are just as dedicated and hardworking as any of the men. He told the students about | one female officer who helped break up a fight at a house par- _tyinthe region. "She was right in there," # Supt. Brown said of the 5' 1" of- ficer. Before the scuffle was over, ¥¥ the female officer had been ¥ pushed over a gate and landed on the ground. Landing on top of her was a very hefty man, and on top of him was a second police officer. But the female officer report- ed to work the following day -- black and blue with bruises -- but committed to her job. Another student asked Supt. Brown what he thought about Sikhs being allowed to wear their turbans while working for the RCMP. "I've incurred the wrath of some of my other officers, but yes I do" believe they should be allowed to wear their turbans. Sikhs have always worn their turbans during military conflict, he said. Comments were also made about removing the oath of alle- gience, taking the Bible out of the courts, and police proce- dure when informing relatives o'a death. Tl re v | i .
