Volum6~m6r 6 September 18,1990 Shoplifting Surge- a Major Concern of Breen9s Bei19s Sores -, ' . \Shoplifting w& up almost' 35% in 1989,\ stated a concerned avid re en. \The average shoplifter steals between $8-$10 per trip,\ he added. With competition for food dollars - always a,concern Breenf Bells Markets have had to step up s&urity in their four stores. The Breen's food stores have been a family tradition for four genera- tions. \Supermarkets are notoriously low (less than 1%) profit centers. That means that we earn less than a penny for every dollar spent. If someone steals $10 worth of product, you have to sell a lot to make up for the loss,\ said David. - Security personnel are' provided by FudraiswPlanned. for Handicapped Three Ymr Old Wahmth 6/11 \~bby'?' was born a perfectly normal, head ky baby three years ago.- ~oday, due ' 40 a - severely abnormal redoh to a DPT shot, Abby has multiple handicaps. - \&ex pare&~do not whk a lot of publk$y ab&t their name and.acldress, $ut%hey-are seeking any help they can for their daughter,\ said @neighbur who- is helping to organize several fundraisers- for the cause. Abby is currently in need of a wheelcbiar and braces at acost of &bout $1800. Private donations and fundraking efforts are the only way this money wili be found according to the neighbor. She went on to say: \Not one large agency has been willing to help her. The March of Dimes said thei could not help because Abby was not born with handi- caps. The Easter Seals spokesperson mentioned that without Abby being on Social Security or mentally retarded, their. agemy could not help. The director of the March of Dimes told me that this was one case that will probably slip through the cracks.\ Donations of food for a Baked Food Sale on September 22, will be accepted the day before at Walwortk Hardware or Walworth Pizza- Express on Main Street or during the sale in front of the Hardware store. The sale will last from ROO til4:OO (or until iill the food is sold) and all proceeds will go to the fund for \Abby\. Marlene Hall, proprietor of Wal- worth Hardware is donating the store front area, tables, chairs and shelves for use during the sale. The woman in charge of the fund- raiser also will be raising funds for the all leather lrigh top shoes that Abby will need to wear with her braces. Their cost is about $30-$40 per pair and will wear out quickly due to the rubbing of the braces. A Garage Sale fundraiser willbe held the following weekend, Saturday, September 29th. Donations are also being accepted for that event, A tmk is available to pick up good usable items for the sale. For donation pick up, please call Tammy at 597-4960. ,+. ?.-. PeterJ. Schmidt Comp'any, the franchisor of Bells markets. \They supply us with a rotating staff for security and their policy is to prosecute in all cases,\ said Breen. The range of thefts run the gamut from the nibblers, who open packages to sample - or keep a youngster quiet, right up to the professionals. Regardless of motives, these theives are causing an alarming increase in prices that must be shouldered by all customers, -stated Breen. Practically every day David scans the rows of shelves for empty or damaged packages. Cookies, cold cuts, cigarettes, cosmetics, medicines; hosery, seafood and meaats, comprise the bulk of pil- phered items from grocery shelves. It is particularly hard for David, who has deep community and family tieito understand why good customers and even friends are all too often bheiPiag themselves'. \Now we're taking pictures of each a& every person caught !tealing. Every- one will, be prosecut~d; with fpoc~cep- . . ti&* - We-. ;$#&' :yo& #&p& stores if iou're caught rtekhg. Iksktik the initial embarrassment of being caught, go tell your friends-and family why you can't shop in any Breen's Bells stores,\ said David. 'f dometimes think morality has changeaover the years,\ he added wist- fully. Along with customer thefts, Breeh's must also deal with heartbreaking em- ployee and vendor thefts. Again, David rmphasized that all persons caught steal- ing would be arrested, \If we ever catch them walking into any of our stores, ever again, well arrest them-for tres- passing,\ said Breen; With shrinkage taking about IS%, stiffer deterrents have become necessary. David notes that the Pahyra Village Police have been extremely cooperative. David Breen of Breen's Bells Markets With stores in Macedon, Palmyra, Newark and Williamsoq.

Miller was rkferring to money that several of this year's pageant winners will raise from, waiting tables at Ponderosa Restaurant in Newark this weekend, The special 'event' was the brainchild of the restaurant's Assistant Manager Debbie Johncox and Rest- aurant owper Mark Graney. Miller re- ported that one of the pageant winners, Gigi Frazer, who works at the Newark Restaurant, was rushing to work from a Wayne County Fair appearance and intended to changeher clothes at the restaurant. When she arrived in her gown, crown and sash, the management suggested that she keep it on and serve that way. Not only was it fun for customers, but it really captured their attention. It was then that Johncox and Graneyz considered asking the Wayne ~ount~ Fair Queen and her Court to wait tables on a specified day, keep their own tip money and donate it to a deserving charity. The date, was set and plans were mge, so when Dorothy Miller asked thi: girls tkother day what cause they were amsidering, tbep thougbt of Lisa ---.

Many of them- brrl known Lisa anct had asked that their money be put to use in' the scholarship program at Pal-Mac iri her memory. The table-waiting fundraiser will be held at breakfast time on Sunday, September 23, from 8:00 a.m. til Noon, at the Ponderosa Restaurant at 585, West Union Street, Newark. Not only will the girls receive their tip money for donation, but Ponderosa management will match their tips dollar for dollar. Three of the girls will be in attendance to serve in crowns and sashes: Corrie Nixon, Wayne County Fair Queen 1990, Steve Mrtna, Queen Alternate and Gigi Frazer, 3rd Runner Up. The girls are hoping for a very . generous turn out (and very generous tips) to make the event a success - to aid in funds for future deserving scholars and to keep. alive their friend Lisa's memory.
