Bishop Peter Hundt of the Archdiocese of Toronto helped break the ground and bless the site of the new St. Mary Catholic Church, accompanied by Fr. Paul Hancko. Steering Committee Chair Livio Mascarin said contributions to the new church are still coming in, including $10,000 from an anonymous donor.

Sparks fly at public meeting on Northland Power applications

SO NEAR, SO FAR

KCSS Lions' wide-receiver Adrian Surdi attempts to catch what would have been the game-winning touchdown in the Huron Heights end zone Thursday, but Warriors' cornerback Ryan O'Quinn provided tight coverage to knock the ball away late in the fourth quarter at KCSS. With the game tied 7-7, Warriors' kicker Derek Pasani got the ball into the Lions' end zone for a single point and an 8-7 Huron Heights win. For more information on the KCSS junior boys' football team and others from King Township see page 19. Photo by Jon Yaneff More...

•	Follow the process when dealing with peaker plants

Last Wednesday's public information meeting before King councillors, regarding the proposals of Northland Power Inc. to put a peaker generating plant in the Holland Marsh area of the township, produced few surprises.

Some pumpkin lore for the season
