From Mike Cluett:

As a few residents of the area found out last week, its not a good idea to leave the cars running to warm up in the morning.  Here’s the story from the Milton Canadian Champion about what happened at several homes in Hawthorne Village.

If you must warm your car up in the morning, make sure the doors are locked or have an automatic car starter.  These thefts were really close to home for me and we have to make sure we are aware of what is going on around us. If you park your car in the driveway, make sure you lock your vehicle.  These crooks are fast and smart.  One will drive around the neighbourhood looking for cars that are running.  Another will get out and quickly check the vehicle to see if it’s unlocked.

If they can’t steal the car, they’ll try to get credit cards, cash, wallets, purses etc.

Local blogs nominated for Best in Canada

November 27th, 2008

MiltonSearch.com would like to draw your attention to two local bloggers who have been nominated for Best Local Blog on the Canadian Blog Awards website.

The first Milton blog nominated was Mike Cluett’s Milton Blog is a must-read for all Miltonians and Mike’s columns and opinions are a regular feature here on MiltonSearch.com.

Since then, another local blogger has been nominated: Jennifer Smith whose blog is called Sprawlville: the quest for sustainability in Canada’s fastest growing town. Smith describes herself as a “left-leaning opinionated writer, singer, woodworker, genealogist, runologist and entrepreneur.” Sprawlville, although not updated all that regularly, is another must-read, and offers a slightly different, although no less passionate outlook on the goings on in Milton.

To cast your vote, simply click here and make your selection.

Mr. Cluett has been “tooting his own horn” so to speak — not to worry Mike — we’d be doing the same (note the comment from Smith below that post). We wish both Mike and Jennifer the best of luck in this competition and I’m sure they’ll do Milton proud.

We can all agree that with the current issues affecting life in Milton and Halton Region for the foreseeable future, there should be plenty of good material which will enable them to keep up their good work.

Thanks guys, and good luck!
