By Erin Lobb
T -A staff
HURON PARK - Precision marching, similtancous salutes, and
impeccable uniforms made the 20th annual inspection a success for
the Huron -Middlesex cadet corps last weekend.
The year-end inpection ceremony is a military tradition in which
all cadets present themselves to the reviewing officer for an evalua-
tion. The inspecting officer this year was Captain Tony Jones, a Hu-
ron Park native and former cadet who now pilots the Challenger, the
Prime Minister's executive jet.
Awards were presented to til \\'O Cann: Kapp, fol top cadet, LCpI
Craig Skinner, for most improved cadet, WO Tim Maxwell, for top
platoon commander, and M('pl Bobbie Snell for top section com-
mander.
Every Thursday evening the Cadet corp meets to learn general
military traing, such as cartography, shooting, and canoeing.
Wayne Ingram, cadet instructor, leads his corp through
the program at last Saturday's Annual inspection.

Special features for
new location at
Grand Bend station
Local residents have
better access to police
services
GRAND BEND - Renovations to
Grand Bend's vacant liquor store
have been completed and have be-
come the new head-
quarters for Grand
Bend's O.P.P.
"We are central to
the population
base," said Sargent
Paul Futers. "If you
look at community
policing you should
be . where the in-
creased population
is."
The new location,
centred on Main
street, has been built
with some special features in mind.
"We have an updated secure en-
trance, accessible to people at all
times. We also have a separate
area for intoxicated people or pris-
oners to enter by, so as to avoid dis-
turbances to people in the office,"
says Futers.
A room designed to handle breath
analysis has been added to more ef-
ficiently handle intoxicants, a fre-
quent problem in Grand Bend. The
room features a specially designed
seat, and finger printing area.
The "Bull Pen" is the name given
to the large cell designated for a
group of adult males. A second
cell of this type exists in case of a
backlogged night. The bull pen is
larger than the cell designated to
adult females. No single cells ex-
ist.
The holding space for young of-
fenders has been
specially designed
not to traumatize
the youths, Futers
says. ""Bars can
traumatize them.
It's just a room
with no door han-
dle and a separate
washroom with a
real porcelain toi-
let and sink."
For the staff
special lock-up's
for firearms, and a
new garage and change room facil-
ities have been built.
"The renovations were started in
the fall," said Futers, who is one of
the 20 police officers brought in
each summer. "The extras each
summer used to work out of a
building in the parking lot behind
Finnegan's."
The Pinery detachment has now
been closed, and the area operates
under the Grand Bend detachment
title.
Many new features
A special room designed to handle alcohol offenses only is
just one of the new features at the new headquarters. The
seat Constable J.J. Arsenau sits in was created for brea-
thalyzer tests.

Possible postion cuts
Middlesex board says
Junior kindergarten,
kindergarten may have
to be reworked
LONDON - Trustees of the
London and Middlesex County
Roman Catholic School Board are
considering the elimination of 25
additional instructional positions
that were slated for the next
school year, despite growth in en-
rolment.
The proposal was brought for-
ward Monday night at a special
board meeting to deal with the bud-
get and it called for the 25 new po-
sitions, that were allowed for in the
1994 expenditure estimates, to be
removed.
Yet, the board expects enrolment
at the secondary level to increase
by almost 10 percent in September
while at the elementary level
growth will only be slight.
But these cuts could provide a
potential savings of $600,000 in
1994 and a S1.6 million savings in
1995.
It is expected that only those new
positions specifically approved by
the board will be filled in 1994-95.
Administration will report back
to the board at its regular meeting
next Monday.
At this time trustees will dis-
cuss the reallocation of staff to
accommodate the potential staff
cuts.
As well, trustees will have to re-
think their decision to change the
junior kindergarten and kindergart-
en programs to full day, alternate
day.
