GARDINER – There were no mail deliveries on Veterans Day, except for the 8,000 homes and businesses in and around Gardiner.

Carriers delivered letters and packages Monday, making up for service that was canceled Saturday after a suspicious-looking powder was found on an envelope in the sorting area of the Gardiner Post Office. Employees were ordered to evacuate the building.

An analysis of the brown powder later determined that it was not anthrax and that it posed no health hazard.

Postmaster Michael Meier said he could not recall another occasion when postal workers delivered mail on a holiday.
