EDITORIAL OF THE
WEEK by Robert Kirwan
There
Is No Such Thing As Failure As Long As You Have The Courage To Try…
On
January 24 I wrote about a marvelous lady named Gail Leroux. If you
recall, she is the person who has lived her life in pain since a dreadful
car accident when she was only 16 years old. Gail and her 80-year old
friend, Gerty Burnett, were spending time at the Hanmer Valley Shopping
Centre every afternoon, trying to sell tickets to a Valentine’s Day
Dance to raise money for the March of Dimes.

Job
Creation In Valley East & Capreol Remains A Top Priority
It is all very well and fine to help people prepare resumes and learn
how to use the computer and other resources to search out job postings,
but when over 85% of all job vacancies are never formally posted, even the
most skilled job hunting person will have difficulty finding out about
them. An aggressive economic development plan for the
communities of Valley East and Capreol are needed in order for us to keep
our residents employed. For

Growing
Popularity of Scrap Booking Is Indicative Of A Move Towards A More
Sentimental Society
Parents and grandparents love making scrap books for their children
and grand children. As one grandparent stated, “You can buy anything
you want from the store. But when you take photos and other little items
that mean a lot to you and then put them into a scrap book, you are
giving a piece of yourself." See what Sue Mydonyk has observed
through The Dollar Klub. For

smaller portions among health-conscious consumers today. “Many people
