Page 3, News, Tuesday, June 23, 1992 Former Schreiber Constable graduates at top of his class Const. Bert Logan with his wife, Betty Ann, in Schreiber last fall. by Darren MacDonald The News Former Schreiber OPP Con- stable Bert Logan has graduat- ed at the top of his class from a Tactical Response Unit (TRU) training program held in Bar- rie, Ont. An elite section of the OPP, the TRU units are comparable to an American SWAT team, says Logan. - "I guess the: public would know what a SWAT team is," he says, "and that's exactly what we are." In addition to Barrie, 12- member TRU teams are sta- tioned in Belleville and Lon- don. Aside from responding to emergency situations, Logan says the units handle things like providing security for high-profile people, such as high-risk criminals and politi- cians. : DO YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR LAWN | FOR THE SUMMER HOLIDAYS?

"If a wit- ness has been threatened, we provide protection for those people. And we do all this in addition to being called to emergency situations, which almost always involve guns or some type of weapons or explosives." Of the 50 people who applied to join the unit, only about 25-30 actually made it to the first two weeks of "survival training," says Logan. Of those, only 12 graduated out of the 12-week program. "The most difficult part was the first two weeks of sur- vival," he says. "After that, I don't think it was difficult. We worked out in the bush with the dog men, tracking people down with dogs. We also stayed out in the bush and did a couple of miles of cumpus work to reach our campsite." Other parts of the training include "house clearing", which involves learning how to gain control of a building, extensive firearms training, and "repelling", which is a rope climbing technique employed when scaling down a building. "Tt's interesting work," says Logan. "I don't know if any of very eyes.

Dennis says the incident took place last October along the Winston Lake Road near Schreiber. "We received information that they were shopping for a tag in town," he says. In addition to the fines, the pair also had their hunt- ing privileges revoked for three years. "We're happy with those penalties," says Dennis. "They're very much in keeping with what we've been receiving over the last several years in the local court circuit." continued on page 5 5 the training was really hard, It was all enjoyable, so I don't consider it difficult." Logan says he joined the TRU unit because he was ready for a change in his polic- ing career. "I was in Schreiber for six years, and I did quite a few things there," he says. "I went into the schools and talked to the kids, and I devel- oped the CAP (community against pushers) line up there. So I wanted to branch out into a different kind of policing. And (TRU) is something I've always wanted to do." He plans to stay with the TRU unit for five years, and plans to return to Schreiber quite often during that time. "T really enjoyed it (in Schreiber), so I'll probably be back in the summer a couple of times for vacation," he says. "My wife's from Schreiber, so we'll be back there quite a bit." ic Dawn's Hair Studio will be having a CUT -A- THON for children (up to 12 yrs of age) Saturday, June 27th from 9:30 am-Spm 50% of all money earned on a hair cuts that day will be donated to the Terrace Bay-Schreiber Lion's Club Call 825-9694 for your appointment! = PN) 20° ak CN P ES \, xe? news release CNIB ONTARIO MEDICAL MOBILE EYE CARE UNIT PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT Do you have an eye problem?
