The sherif in the Canadian system of law enforcement is not a guný totin' dude as you see in American westerns, the Iaw enforcer with the big star on bis chest. The sheriff in the Ameni- can context is similar to police here, accordingto Bain. The sheriff is the senior law enforcement offlicer of the county or district, for which the appoint- nient is made. As such, the sberiff bas the right to cail upon, and receive assistance from, any person or persons, which includes ail police forces, ini the carrying out of the : ~0- M. 0 Weight Counselling Centre fJ. provides individual counsel- ling by professional nurses! nutrition ists.

The sheriff is totally respon- sible for the s'ecurity of the court- bouse, the safety and accommo- dation of the judges and the guarding of pnisoners. He is also required to maintain the dignity of the courts within the court bouse> as well as the everyday contact witb members of the le&gai community and general publie. Unlike othen court offliciais governed by rules or regulations, the sbeniff is called upon to make any decisions for wbîcb no rules or regulations are available. Most of tb ese decisions are made immediately and are final, sub- ject only to reversal by a court of law. "We seize assets from a defen- dant to satisfyjudgments, carry out court orders(for e;ampie, writs of possession). We have had 2 10 evictions in the last year and in January alone, 45,» Bain said. "We are sometimes asked to pick up a child in wrongful eus- tody. W e serve subpoenas, court orders.» Bain said there is a staff of 30 people in the sheriff's office. Sheriff's duties and job defini- tion is clearly defined in the Sberifl's Act and the Adjudi- cator's Act. The sherifl's office is aiso res- ponsibie for selecting a panel of prospective jurors from wvhich a Ëury for aitrial can be selected. eslcin process is carried out by a computer, so that a cross section of income levels, careers and other factors can be achieved, Bain said. <'You have to be quite practical. Ruies and regulations are neyer meant to be broken, b ut can be bent to a certain degree. You have to have a lot of discretion,» Bain said of the sherifl's actions. "I have enjoyed my work very much. By working with people, I have become acquainted with the problems of the average person." Bain's retirement plans in- clude devoting more time to his beef ranching operation, and A RETIREMENT DINNER will be held March 31 for Morley Bain, sheriff ( senior law enforcement officer) of Durham Region for 24 years. mPrs.pht bopefully,"a little àolf"ing, fisbing and travelling.» The sheriffs retirement will be marked by a retirement dinner and dance at General Sikorski Hall, Oshawa, on Marcb 31.

The Town bas therefore, deci- ded to drop the work on King St. and use the money towards further renovations to the Cen- tennial Building.
