slow news night in k-town
so it must have been considered a quiet and relatively peaceful day yesterday around eastern ontario. not much to comment on really... elections aren't for another month and a bit and the weather hasn't collapsed around us (sunny skies for the weekend!). yet i'm assuming that they could have come up with something a bit more substantial (but, considerably less cute) for the lead story on the 6 o'clock news last night. here's what they went with... sorry about the caps - that's how they post stuff on their website.

IT'S THE SEASON FOR PUMPKINS.
TIME TO HARVEST, CARVE ...AND MAYBE EAT THEM IN A PIE.
BUT A LITTLE KINGSTON GIRL FINDS HER "PROUD" PUMPKIN PATCH THE VICTIM OF AN EARLY TRICK, INSTEAD OF A TREAT.
NEWSWATCH'S LUCY LOPEZ EXPLAINS.
RIGHT OFF THE SCHOOL BUS -- 3-YEAR-OLD MARY JANE VINCENT HAS BEEN GOING TO HER GARDEN EVERY DAY AFTER SCHOOL.
....TENDING TO A PUMPKIN PATCH SHE PLANTED IN THE SPRING.
MARY JANE VINCENT:
"IT'S RIGHT HERE, LAST TIME I SAW IT.
WHERE'S YOU'RE PUMPKIN?
SOMEBODY STOLE IT."
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF HER PRIZED PUMPKIN HAS LEFT THIS 3-YEAR-OLD FEELING BLUE.
MARY JANE:
"SAD CUZ SOMEBODY TOOK IT."
JOHN VINCENT HAS A DIFFICULT TIME EXPLAINING TO HIS DAUGHTER THAT SOMEONE STOLE HER PUMPKIN EARLIER THIS WEEK.
JOHN VINCENT:
"I DON'T KNOW WHY SOMEBODY WOULD STEAL A PUMPKIN LIKE THIS, I MEAN IT WAS ABOUT 8 INCHES ROUND. IT WASN'T BIG ENOUGH TO BAKE A PIE WITH. WHY BOTHER TO TAKE IT."
MARY JANE WAS PLANNING TO MAKE A JACK O LATERN FOR HALLOWEEN.
INSTEAD, SHE'S ON THE RECEIVING END OF A PETTY TRICK.
BUT THERE IS STILL A TREAT IN THIS "GREAT PUMPKIN CAPER."
JOHN VINCENT:
"WE'RE GOING TO GO TO GRANDPA'S PUMPKIN PATCH. HE'S GOT SEVERAL OUT THERE. SO WE'LL GO TAKE ONE FROM GRANDPA I'M SURE HE WON'T MIND."
NICE TO HAVE A BACK-UP PLAN -- BUT MARY JANE HAS A MESSAGE FOR HER JACK-O-THIEF.
MARY JANE:
"I WANT MY PUMPKIN BACK."
A BORROWED PUMPKIN MAY SAVE HALLOWEEN FOR THIS 3 YEAR OLD -- THAT AND HER PLAN TO HARVEST CANDY WHEN SHE GOES OUT DRESSED AS A TURTLE.
