Local Church goes Digital for Good Cause

A local benefit is going digital.

The Seaview Full Gospel Assembly in Back Bay is hosting a benefit concert this Friday, that will be broadcast live on seaviewfullgospel.com.

Donations can be placed over the internet, with proceeds going to Walk Cause We Care.

The music kicks off at 7pm.

SSMS hits the Streets for Food Bank

If there's a kid on your doorstep begging for food, he's not reciting lines from Oliver Twist.

The St. Stephen Middle School is hauling in their annual food drive for our local food bank in St. Stephen, with students going door to door, asking for donations.

Thanksgiving is around the corner, and many people in our community depend on the Bank each month, just to make ends meet.

The Food Drive ends October 4th.

Public Warning


The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is warning the public not to consume Compliments brand Sensations Old-Style Smoked Ham because the product may be contaminated with listeria.
The affected product is sold in 175 gram packages with a best before date of Nov. 13, 2011.
The product was distributed in New Brunswick.

Watch Your Speed


St Stephen Citizen's On Patrol members are going to be again conducting speed monitoring in St Stephen and surrounding area.

The RCMP will be providing the volunteer group use of the RCMP portable roadside system which displays the speed of approaching vehicles along with messages.

This unit will be used as a prevention tool, as opposed to enforcement, which will be first placed near our local St Stephen and area schools zones. It will be a friendly reminder to tell drivers to pay closer attention to what speed they are driving. As seen last year, we should see an increase in voluntary compliance near school areas where youth may be present and the first location will be the St Stephen High School.

The unit will later rotate around various areas where speeding is an issue. This would be another example of the value of the Citizens on Patrol Program and the citizens who have committed themselves to it.
