Upon reaching the end of Queen St., Constable Paul saw three people on the sidewalk in front of the Lishman's and Brock's stores. Alone male suspect was seen stand- ing in front of Lishman's with his hands in his pockets, say police, while two women were looking around the sidewalk sale tables in front of Brock's. The officer saw one of the females undo a few buttons on her dress and slip in a pair of shoes. When PC Paul approached the group the man ran to the car and drove off, leaving the women at the scene. 'He was later discovered by PC Ward by the public boat launch and returned to the store, where he was identified as one of the three suspects. All three were apprehended and taken to the Port Perry station and interviewed, say police. Since the three suspects only spoke Polish, a translator was brought in to interpret. 'The vehicle they were driving was also seized and was taken to the sta- tion. Two attempts were made to get a search warrant and both were denied. Police then opened the trunk and discovered close to $4,000 in merchan- dise from more than six area stores. Store owners were called and more than $1,100 worth of items were returned. Police are still searching for Shoplifters nabbed in Port the owners of the remaining merchan- ise. Close to $650 worth of merchandise was returned to Brock's including slips, jeans and bras; $200 worth of lingerie was returned to Kotya Peekin', and more than $250 worth of t-shirts and men's pants were taken back to Peer Pressure. Other local stores to recover stolen goods included Color Your World, Canadian Tire and Home Hardware. The three suspects also match the description of a trio of shoplifters who stole two fur coats valued at close to $9,000 from Lishman's last month, say police. As a result of the tip from anh employ- ee at Kotya Peekin' Durham Regional Police have laid charges against the three. A 33-year-old Ottawa man has been charged with one count of attempted theft. A 33-year-old Ottawa woman has been charged with one count of attempted theft. And a 30-year-old Toronto woman has been charged with one count of attempted theft. She has also been charged with four counts of breach of probation and there is currently an outstanding arrest warrant out for her in Quebec, say police. While being searched at the Port Perry station each of the suspects were found to have "booster bags" under their clothing, say police. Story ideas?

And that has Mr.Curtis anxious. "The way we under- stand this bill to read , if . we don't get this contract signed and sealed before the bill passes we could find we've wasted our time." Bill 136 is the Harris government's sweeping new labor relations legis- lation, designed deal with major labor negotiations until the implementation of government and service amalgamations around the Greater Toronto Area can be put into place. Some areas of the bill are designed to be temporary, some to be permanent. One of the permanent items which has labor leaders across the province -- including the Durham Police Association President -- worried is a proposed 'Dispute Resolution Commission'. The DRC would settle contract matters that could not be negotiated by normal means. It would replace the current system of arbitration for public employees, and its deci- sions would not be subject to appeal, according to Mr. Curtis.

"Well, the police can't strike anyway, so we don't understand why we are included in it (Bill 136). All it does it make our negotiations more diffi- cult. We have asked all the MPPs we can to explain it to us, but we have yet to get a definitive answer." It appears the local force could be caught up in the bill's measures, said Tony Maxwell, of the Ministry of Labor. "Any group that has not begun the arbitration process, that is, they have not actually sat down at the table, will fall under the DRC which will then rule on the matter," he said. And he confirmed that rulings made by the new board cannot be appealed without going to court: "There is no appeal under the legislation but any one can appeal a decision through the courts if they feel it is wrong in law or blatantly unfair." Mr. Curtis says the leg- islation designates police as just another labor group. "We are not just anoth- er group of public employ- ees," he said. "When labor disputes reach a strike situation, it's the police who keep order between the strikers and the employers. "If we are just another sector of public service then when provincial labor leaders call for demonstrations by the public sector what hap- pens? If the entire public sector marches who's there to lock the doors?" Among the police con- tracts currently up for negotiation are the OPP, North Bay, Metro Toronto and Lindsay forces. Hungry thieves leave dishes at Caesarea Owners of a Caesarea residence came home last Tuesday and found them- selves a stack of dirty dishes and missing a dia- mond ring, police say. According to Durham Regional Police, thieves entered a Cedar Grove Drive residence through a washroom window sometime between 2 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. on July 29. Once inside the home, the thieves enjoyed a can of beefaroni and a bowl of "home after break-in Frosted Flakes before making off with a dia- mond ring valued at $700, Weedeater missing Durham Police received a call last Sunday after a weedeater was stolen from a Clark St. residence.
