Mayor of Blacks Harbour Terry James will be holding her first riding rally to be held at the Eastern Charlotte Lion’s Club in Pennfield today between 2 and 5.
James tells Tide News she's up for the challenge and she's up against our current MLA Rick Doucet and Mayor of St. George Sharon Tucker.
Tide news asked James how she felt running against them as she has built a different relationship with them in the past as the Mayor of Blacks Harbour.
She says she has the utmost respect for both of them and she's hoping they have equal respect for her.
PANB Leader Kris Austin will be on hand today to show his support for James. The People’s Alliance of New Brunswick is the newest official political party in New Brunswick.

New Flavour Doing Well
Something that certainly goes well with a sunny long weekend is a cold beer.
Joel Levesque is Vice President of Communications with Moosehead Breweries and tells us since launching their newest summer flavour -Moose Light Blackberry- at the end of June, sales have been great.
He says they've achieved their sales objectives and they're getting great feedback about it.
Levesque says the Moose Light Blackberry might be back next summer, or they might have a new flavour because consumers seem to be really interested in experimenting and product innovation.

Bay Of Fundy At Risk

A St. Andrews marine biologist says the Bay of Fundy remains a resource at risk.
Jamie Steele tells us the bay's fragile ecosystem is linked to influences around it.
Steele says even though we strive for a balance between uses such as shipping or tourism -- we usually go too far the other way and have to backtrack to repair any damage to the ecosystem.
But -- Steele says talk of tidal power generators in the bay is miles ahead of past suggestions of large damns to harness the tides which would have a significant impact on the bay's marine life.
He says we have to become more aware of our own backyard and how we influence what happens in it.
Nature Trust Cleans Beaches
The Nature Trust of New Brunswick is making an effort to clean up the beaches in Bocabec Bay near St. Andrews today.
The stretch of shoreline was chosen for this year's Charlotte Isles clean-up and Executive Director Renata Woodward tells us they normally collect just over one ton of garbage.
Woodward says they see a lot of commercial bins, plastic containers and oil containers that get washed in from the ocean.
She says the goal is to get people involved in land conservation and land stewardship.
