Monotony ends for Syracuse Police officer
(By MARK HUFFMAN Staff Writer Four years ago Calvin Klein was locked into a career that found him doing the same things every day. Growing tired of the monotony, the then 31-year-old jumped at the opportunity to become a reserve deputy marshal in Albion, starting his way toward a new career and ending the factory work he’d done for 12 years. Profile “I had wanted to get into law enforcement since high school but never got the opportunity, finally a friend that was working as an officer in Albion asked for extra help and the police chief voted me in as a reserve,” Klein remembers. A brief stint as part-time patrolman in Ligonier and Syracuse finally led to his ultimate goal — having become a full-time officer at the Syracuse Police Department Nov. 20,1985. “I enjoy it, you’re out in the open and aren’t confined to one place — it’s really a sense of being free,” Klein says. A personable individual, the Kendallville native also enjoys working with the people that make up the Syracuse community, noting, “You meet all different kinds, it’s interesting to see the different ways they react and the varying beliefs.” Such interests have prompted him to become involved with the gun safety, bicycle safety, and neighborhood watch programs, although he admits a need for increased awareness in other areas. “I’d like to see programs within the schools that deal

(Jim, 19, and Robert, 20) give him extra incentive for such concerns. Gains Knowledge Police work also involves enforcement and protection, two things that keep monotony from developing. “There are so many different fields, techniques, and processes of doing things — you’re gaining knowledge all of the time,” he says. Perhaps Klein’s greatest lesson occurred while he was an officer in Ligonier, where he still does part-time work. “Three months after I started there was a shooting — it was challenging because you have to think quick and do your job without flaw,” he says, adding, “I was really impressed with the help other officers gave. I called for a backup and got great cooperation from city, county, and state officers — it was great to see everyone work together.” jVhilesuch reactions solidify Klein's belief that law enforcementis a career “made for him,” there are also instances that sour some days. “I hate to see domestic fights where parents fight in front of little kids, because they (kids) remember those things.” Faulty equipment can also cause irritation to the stout officer. “There’s been a lot of improvement since I’ve started, but I’d still like to see us get some updated equipment,” he says, adding in a sobering tone. “It may make the difference in whether an officer gets hurt or not. ” Opting to spend time with his wife, Barbara, and family during his off-hours, the officer also enjoys playing guitar and attending stock car races. However, those instances are rare, as the Syracuse Police Department forms a second home —a situation that Klein wouldn’t have any other way. “It gives me a good feeling to go out. do something sample, and solve someone’s problem,” he says, adding abruptly, “It’s all part of the job, I don’t expect any ‘thank-you’s’ — just appreciation.”
LOUISA'S LETTER J ?==S
Dear Louisa, I haven’t anything against TV except the fact that my children spend too much time looking at it. I know they learn a lot, but some of the things they learn are not so good for them. It seems to me that if they spent some of that time in play outside or in creative things, they would be better off. What do you think of this? Mother —Va. Answer: Children do learn many things from watching television. The good things are correct speech and customs from good films, but the violence and vulgarity from others are a distinct minus. Address letters: Louisa. Box 532, Orangeburg. S.C. 29115 I have just read an article by an expert on this subject, and he thinks that mothers should
monitor the films, and he says that research shows that a child’s personality is changed by watching television for hours on end. These children become loners and also become more aggressive in their play. When they were allowed only one hour a day for viewing they became more socially minded and were happier. I hope this answers your question. Louisa On economy The U.S. economy expanded at a modest annual rate of 2.4 percent during the summer, far below the expectations of the Reagan administration but substantially higher than the near-standstill rate turned in last spring, the government reported.
