Going, going, gone! It took less than 30 minutes for workers to pull down the dilapidated structure on the corner of Queen Street and Mechanics Avenue in Kincardine on Feb. 26. The building sat on the north side of the property owned by Kristin McClory, owner of the adjacent Kincardine Massage Therapy building. There are no plans to rebuild on the site.

Back to school ….. Rain didn’t dampen the spirits of students returning to school after a six-month absence, with many calling out the names of friends and teachers as they entered the playground. At St. Anthony’s School, the first wave of students, with surnames A – L, arrived at school on Tuesday, Sept. 8. The students were instructed to physically distance outside and report to the balloon colour representing their class. Once the class gathered, students were escorted inside. The process was repeated on Sept. 10 for students with surnames M-Z. (Tammy Schneider photo)
