March 18, 1987 Page 11 New p.lice recruit The newest officer to be hired by the Exeter Police Department does not meet standard qualifications. Of- ficer Optibot is only 19 inches high, and weighsa puny 20 pounds. However, the recent recruit has eyes that flash, a mouth that lights up, arms that never tire, and hidden feet that can move the squat little body in any direction. Officer Optibot' can speak in a male or female voice, and in any language. Voice and move- ment can be preprogrammed or directed by remote control. Officer Optibot was not recruited in the usual manner. The versatile robot was purchased for $400 by the Exeter and District optimists, to be used for the benefit of the young people in this f community. It has been placed under the control of the Exeter Police department. Optimist Don Winter had been in- vestigating the possibility of acquir- ing a robot to be used as an extreme- ly effective way to educate children about road and fire safety, or any other topic desired. Four, life-size robots costing $30,000 each are in use in Ontario. Exeter's Officer Optibot is only the second of the small and less costly types in operation. The Optimists' donation fits in with their slogan, "Friend of Youth", Winter said, noting that all club pre= jects such as sponsoring girls' ringette hockey and boys' minor hockey are directed at youngsters. "We make no donations to adults. no matter how worthy the project," Winter said. "Today's child,is tomor- Ladies meet at Woodham By MISS JEAN COPELAND Woodham Monday evening. • March 9 the Woodham U.C.W. entertained their husbands or a guest. There were 16 members and 14 guests who sat down to a delicious pot luck supper with group two in charge of the evening. - Miss Jean Copeland welcomed everyone and conducted a short business meeting. We were remind- ed of the London Conference U.C.W.' annual meeting in London on April 6 and 7 and we are to bring a guest to our April meeting, when there will be a guest speaker on United Church Renewal Fellowship. It was moved to send a $25 donation to M & S for the U.C.W. 25th anniversary. The remainder of the evening was spent at the St. Marys Bowling Lanes, where everyone enjoyed themselves bowling. The ideal committee consists of two, four or six people who haven't time, and one person who likes to run things his own way. Kram,, kt, row's youth, and preventive medicine is better than an emergency operation." • Officer Optibot was sent on assign- ment soon after arrival. Chief Larry Hardy brought the robot to Exeter Public School already preprogramm- ed to give the children advice on deal- ing with strangers after a couple of reports of a pick-up truck cruising around the school. Officer Optibot will also be second- ed to the Exeter Fire Department and to the OPP. Fire Chief Gary Mid- dleton and the OPP will replace the shoulder flashes and cap badge with the appropriate insignia while Officer Optibot is on temporary duty with their departments. The robot will be available on re- quest to visit nursery school, Brownies, Beavers, Cubs, the Huron Hope School, and -any other youth - oriented group. "We had a brainstorming session at a recent Optimist meeting, and con- cluded the uses are literally limitless, Winter said. - The Optimists are arranging a con- test among school children to give Op- tibot a new name. Adults can meet Officer Optibot during the Exeter Home and Garden Show on April 10, 11 and 12. He will be that funny little guy witlrthe white and green Optimist hat on his head.
