Everyone is asked to put their food items in the paper bag they will receive in their Wednesday (Oct. 31) edition of The Independent & Free Press, and place the bag outside their front door by 8:30 a.m. next Saturday for pick- up by scouts and guides. All food collected will go to the Georgetown Bread Basket where about 13,000 lbs. of food each month is distributed to 258 adults and 193 children in the Georgetown area. Most needed items include canned meat and stew, canned fish, jam, and cheese spreads, canned juice and juice boxes, powdered milk, canned milk, canned fruits and vegetables, nutritious snacks for children, mini fruit cups, peanut butter and personal care items such as shampoo, toothpaste and brushes, deodorant, shaving cream and razors. Last years drive brought in 42,000 lbs. of food and organizers are hoping to reach or top that total this year. Cash donations will also accepted by the youths collecting at the door, and receipts will be issued for those who donate $10 or more. Volunteers are needed at the Georgetown Alliance Church, 290 Main St. S. (Eighth Line), after 9 a.m. to help sort and box. High school students are welcome to come out and put in some of their community hours. Anyone interested is asked to just show up and sign in. Anyone who is missed during the drive can drop their food donation at the donation box at the Real Canadian Superstore, Food Basics, both A&P locations, Price Chopper or the Bread Basket at 55 Sinclair Ave. Unit 12 on Wednesday or Saturday between 9 a.m. and noon. For more information call 905-873-3368. Stock up now to aid food drive Halton Police are looking for a man who appeared to be trying to look like a childrens television show character and drove into the Pineview Public School lot yesterday (Thursday) afternoon dangling a blue teddy bear out the win- dow. Police say shortly after 2 p.m. staff and stu- dents were surprised to see an odd-looking man driving through the lot in a large greyish-brown SUV similar to a GMC Suburban. A witness saw a partial plate licence number, either 174 or 175. The man appeared to be in his 40s, may have been wearing a fake moustache, and appeared to be trying to look similar to the male hero charac- ter from a television show titled Lazy Town. As the vehicle moved slowly through the lot, the man dangled a blue 8 teddy bear out the window and had music blaring from the stereo. When a school staff member began to approach the vehicle, the man drove off. No children were harmed. Anyone who may have seen the man or the SUV in the area is asked to call police at 905-878- 5511 ext. 2415 or call Crime Stoppers at 1-800- 222-TIPS (8477). Halton Police report a shed at a Park St. E. Georgetown home was entered sometime between Friday and Monday. A lock was broken to gain entry. Stolen was $7,500 worth of items including power tools and a mountain bike. Police blotter Odd man spotted at school
