The
100 Pound Challenge - No Cop Out!
Having just turned 50 on June 12th, Deputy Chief Dave
Cromlish of the Cobourg Police Service felt it was time
to take charge of his health. As he passed this landmark
occasion Dave realized he needed to do something about
his weight and this is how the 100 Pound Challenge…
No Cop Out was born. Although serious about his quest
Dave knows that this is not about just losing 100 pounds,
it’s about making some important lifestyle changes.
And he knows that he cannot do it alone.
Dave will be working with personal trainer Andrea Johnson
of Bodilogix in Cobourg to ensure his new exercise and
diet regime is done properly. He has also been in touch
with his family physician, Dr. Andrew Emery, who will
also be advising him through his journey.
In an effort to help keep him on task and motivated,
Dave has decided to collect pledges with the funds raised
directed to the purchase of an ECG machine for the Northumberland
Hills Hospital.
The 100 Pound Challenge… No Cop Out will begin
on Thursday, July 2nd at 10 a.m. with the official weigh
in at Bodilogix in Cobourg.
Throughout the Challenge Dave and Andrea will track
his progress on a blog on the Bodilogix’s web
site.
The local print media has agreed to also keep track
of Dave’s progress through a series of articles.
The 100 Pound Challenge… No Cop Out is scheduled
to wrap up during the 2010 Cobourg Waterfront Festival.

On Sunday afternoon, February 7 at around 2:00 p.m., a vehicle with no front plate caught the attention of a Cobourg Police officer who subsequently followed the car to Denton Drive.
The four male occupants exited the car and started to walk towards Elgin Street as police approached. They were all detained by the officer pending a Highway Traffic Act investigation.
Checks on the one licence plate and vehicle identification number resulted in five Highway Traffic Act charges against the driver including three counts of driving under suspension, operating a vehicle without insurance, using unauthorized plates, failing to apply for a permit on becoming an owner, fail to display two plates and driving with no valid licence plate tag.
A search of the vehicle also revealed plastic bags of marijuana, one thousand dollars in cash plus two scales and a large quantity of Ziploc bags.
All four accused men have been charged with possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. They range in age from 18 – 22 years old and are local residents.
