AROUND THE ISLAND Prowlers strike unlocked vehicles A string of car prowls and thefts occurred in the Winslow residential area on the weekend of Nov. 19-20. Over Saturday night and Sunday morning, items were stolen out of six vehicles, all of which were unlocked, according to Bainbridge Police Cmdr. Sue Shultz. She added that some of the unlocked cars were left in unlocked garages attached to homes. The incidents all occurred in the residential area west of downtown Winslow, north and south of Wyatt Way, between Weaver Road and Madison Avenue. Thieves took valuables

ranging from cash, laptops, electronics, credit and bank cards, and anything containing information on victims’ accounts at financial institutions. One vehicle that was parked inside an apartment complex garage was also vandalized with black spray paint. “During the holiday season it is really important not to leave gifts or valuables in cars,” Shultz said. “Prowlers are looking for opportunities.” The car thefts are currently under investigation.

Five tons of food for Helpline House In the annual Bainbridge High School Key Club canned food drive to support Helpline House,

students donated 10,500 pounds of food, surpassing last year’s first-period class competition by 500 pounds. In the first-period competition between 10th grade students, Kim Koooistra’s English class was the big winner by donating 2,055 cans of food. The largest gift, however, included some 2,673 cans of salmon donated by Ocean Beauty Canned Seafood and transported by Hill Moving Company. Bainbridge High School student Ben Harmon organized and coordinated the donation. About 40 students worked the food drive by getting boxes, decorating the conference room

as an inspirational turkey, collecting cans from teachers’ classrooms,. Then came the fun part – loading, delivering and unloading the food from a U-Haul (donated by Bainbridge Storage) at Helpline House.

Still time to give to One Call One Call for All’s annual Red Envelope campaign continues to seek donations. One Call helps fund over 85 local non-profits. Donations can be made online or by mail. Go to www.onecallforall.org to download the donation form or for more information.
