Nowhere is the relationship between mental and physical health more evident than in the area of chronic conditions. The associations between mental and physical health include:

·    Poor mental health is a risk factor for chronic physical conditions.

This year’s Kayak Races took place on Saturday, July 11, at the Riverside School boat launch. The six teams participating were the Alma Pumpers, the Broadleaf Broncos, BroadView Powersports, the Forest Dale Flyers, the River Drivers and the RCS Rowers. The event was sponsored by Crooked Creek Convenience, who did the organizing and provided the kayaks and equipment.

Each team paddled to raise money for various charities and organizations, including Forest Dale home activities, the Shepody Food Bank, the Fundy Curling Club, the Alma Fire Department, RCS playground equipment and Tele-Drive Albert County.

The winners of the race were the Broadleaf Broncos, with cash winnings of $240. In second place were the River Drivers with winnings of $144 and in third place were the Forest Dale flyers with winnings of $98.

The Best Dressed team was the River Drivers, with matching red and white shirts. They also were voted ‘Most Sportsmanlike,’ and gave some of their prizes to other teams.

The consolation race saw the Alma Pumpers, the RCS Rowers and BroadView Powersports compete, with BroadView taking the lead and winning tickets to the Curling Club’s steak dinner, donated by Crooked Creek Adventures.

The 50/50 draw raised $104.70, which was divided equally and given to each team. Prizes were also donated by Cape Enrage, Fundy National Park, the Hopewell Rocks and the Chipoudy Communities Revitalization Committee.

The fourth annual Kayak Races were a great success with excellent weather and awesome participants and donors – thanks to everyone who came out!

What a fantastic day for the Atlantic Nationals to come to Hillsborough, NB.!

On July 9, Gary Steeves Insurance was packed due to the Atlantic Nationals. People from all over came to show off their cars or just came to look..

Not only was there the fantastic cars for entertainment but Eddie Chase and the Graffiti Four made an appearance to play some rocking music making the event that much more fun!

The Hillsborough Kiwanis Club catered the barbecue right behind the Gary Steeves Ins. building where all the hungry car fanatics came to eat, burger after burger we all rushed to get the people their food and by the end of the day we were fresh out of hot dogs, hamburgers and buns! We had to get a little creative and we started cutting the hamburgers in half to use up the last of our hot dog buns! All around great day with sweet looking cars, good music and lots of food !!

The Literacy Express (and The Little Library That Can)

Some of the children who come call this ‘train school’, but nobody here knows how to operate a locomotive – even if there are a few of them around. And it’s not a ‘school’ in the proper sense of the word, but there is a lot of learning going on.

No, what the kids are referring to is actually the “Literacy Express” program for preschoolers which is held Tuesday and Wednesday mornings in the second floor rooms of the train station building adjacent to the Hillsborough Public Library. It is a free program for children ages 3 and 4 years old, sponsored by the Hillsborough Public Library Board.
