Recent media attention on letter bombs in other jurisdictions has apparently heightened the con- cern people have when they receive unexpected packages, police report. In July, Police issued a media release regarding a Geocache container that a Burlington resident thought may have been an explosive device. The man fearing for safety of others chose to bring the suspected bomb to the police station. On August 27, a Burlington man brought a letter that had a bulge in it into the Burlington police station. Explosives offi cers examined it and determined it was a reed for a musical instru- ment a friend had sent him.

The McGuinty Liberals are making tremendous progress. Hospital wait times are finally improv- ing. Children are no longer locked out by constant strikes. And for the first time in more than a decade, the provincial government is taking the environment seriously, Bentley said. But we cant stop there. There is more work to be done and I believe that the Liberals are the only party that can make sure Welling- ton Halton-Hills continues to grow and prosper. Margaret Bentley cares greatly for this commu- nity and her commitment is evident when looking at her track record in education, says Riding president Mur- ray Gold. Under the Conserva- tives we saw chaos in our schools, cuts to healthcare and neglect of environment. No one wants to turn back the clock to those days. I will work hard to continue the progress made by the McGuinty Liberals and en- sure everyone in Wellington Halton-Hills can continue to grow and prosper, Bentley says. A key priority for newly nominated Liberal candi- date Margaret Bentley will be to preserve the public education system. A Georgetown resident, Bentley is a former teacher and administrator and an active volunteer in church and school activities.
