Valley East Today Weekly Online News Magazine is published and
distributed every Tuesday to thousands of people, most of whom
reside in Valley East, Capreol, and the Greater Sudbury Area.
While many of the articles focus on the accomplishments
and achievements of residents of Valley East, there are
many general features which will be of interest to
people regardless of where they reside. Thank you for

Dear Mr.
Kirwan:
Re: Your article, "Every
Decision You Make..."
I made a decision in January 2006 to put up a
puppy barrier within our home and like your
article stated, I did meet some great people as a
result...an orthopedic surgeon; some wonderful
nurses; three ambulance workers, and; a nice
physiotherapist. And to top it all off, I now have
a nice new stainless steel shoulder.
Sandy Kelly
P.S. All puppy barriers should be at least
waist-high!! Not trip-high! |

There
are many reasons for my decision to run for Council at this stage of my

in this community, there is no one else who is in
a better position to represent the people of Ward
6 - Hanmer & Val Therese. For

2006 ELECTION ISSUES |
|
A special section of Valley East Today has been developed to highlight
the major issues which are of concern to local residents as we
head into the 2006 Municipal Elections. A new issue or two will
be added every week until the election is upon us. This will
help residents search for answers and determine who to vote for on
November 13, 2006.
|
FEATURE
ELECTION ISSUE OF THE WEEK |
Councillors Must Remember That They
Represent & Speak On Behalf Of The Constituents of their
Individual Ward.
Each City Councillor is elected to represent a single
ward. If I am elected to serve Ward 6 - Hanmer & Val
Therese, I clearly understand that I am to be the voice of my
constituents at City Council. The only person on City Council
who can say that he represents all of the people in the city is
the Mayor, who is elected at large.
