Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre Comes Out As One Of Most Courteous Areas Of The City In Sudbury Star Research

Two reporters from the Sudbury Star set out on a special project to find out where we would rank against other major cities of the world in the area of courtesy and politeness. Their motivation was a study released by the Readers' Digest in July  which compared 36 cities around the globe. Toronto came third behind New York City and Zurich, Switzerland.

The Star Reporters used the same scoring criteria that was used by Readers' Digest. They went into five of the busiest locations around the City of Greater Sudbury, including: Downtown Sudbury; the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre; the New Sudbury Centre; Place Bonaventure Mall in Chelmsford; and the Rio Can's Power Centre. At each site the following situations were enacted and the reporters observed the actions of nearby shoppers:

1. They walked into the building behind people to see if they would hold the door open for them.

2. The bought small items from different stores and recorded whether the sales assistants said thank you.

3. They dropped a folder full of papers in different locations to see if anyone would help pick them up.

At each location, each of the above was performed four times. Each act of politeness was given a score of 1 with a 0 recorded if there was no act of courtesy shown. A perfect score was 12.

THE RESULTS

Downtown Sudbury came out in first place with a score of 11 out of 12.  The Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre was a close second.

Overall, the City of Greater Sudbury came in with a combined rate of 75% which would have placed us ahead of Toronto in 3rd place when ranked with the 36 other cities in the world.

Chad Salemink of Desjardins' Food Basics Is One Of The Reasons Why People Are Impressed With Politeness Level Of The People of Valley East

Chad Salemink, 24, is an employee of Desjardins' Food Basics. Chad's job is to collect and return shopping carts from the large parking lot outside and bring them back into the store for use by the close to 20,000 customers who come through the doors of the popular grocery store every week.

In his role, Chad comes into contact with hundreds of visitors to the mall every shift. If you follow Chad around you will see that he never hesitates to hold open doors, say excuse me, or demonstrate courtesy to people of all ages. In addition, Chad is quick to acknowledge others with a smile and a wave. Doing these "little things" comes naturally for Chad, as it does with so many of the store clerks and merchants of the mall. And in the hectic world in which we now live, it is definitely the little things that count.

Chad was recently featured in a special article in The Sudbury Star on July 10, 2006 for his success in the Building Bridges Program which is offered by Cambrian College to help students with developmental disabilities learn to find their way on their own. 

When he was young, doctors told his mother Colette that his developmental disabilities would prevent him from ever learning to read, write or ride a bike. Chad's determination proved the doctors wrong and he can now read at the Grade 5 level in French, the Grade 6 level in English and can definitely ride a bike. He also used the internet and communicates via email just like the rest of us.

After high school, Chad qualified for the Bridges Program at Cambrian and with a lot of hard work and continued determination finished with a 4.0 grade point average. The one-year program brought out a sense of confidence and independence in Chad that is shown in everything he does.

"I really want to thank Ken and Sandra Desjardins' for giving me a chance to work at their store," Chad stated. "I love what I do and enjoy meeting so many nice shoppers. They have been really good to me and everyone is so nice around here."

Well, Chad, on behalf of everyone in the community of Valley East, thank you for being one of the reasons why we are now known as one of the most courtesy areas of the region.

Valley East Ladies' Slo-Pitch League Features Skill & Fun For The Girls of Summer

The Valley East Ladies' Slo-Pitch League features a total of ten (10) teams for the 2006 season, thanks in large part to the efforts of the young ladies on the Executive who are committed to seeing the League continue and thrive into the future.   

Three of the Executive members met at the beginning of June with Robert Kirwan, Publisher of Valley East Today to discuss plans for marketing and promotion of the league. Shown with Robert are, from the left, Robin Trottier, Secretary; Mandy Hnatiuk, President, and Natalie Raymond-Marois, Vice-President. Two other executive members were unable to attend the meeting. They are Nicki Trottier, Treasurer, and Paula Martel-Lavallee, Statistician.

A year ago the Valley East Ladies' Slo-Pitch League was facing a serious enrolment problem. With only six teams registered just prior to the start of the season, the women who enjoyed playing this sport were worried. The season began with seven teams, but it was obvious that changes had to be made. 

One of the biggest changes was the decision to allow teams and players from other municipalities to join the league, and it appears as if that made all the difference in the world. Two teams have joined with players who live in Rayside Balfour or Sudbury. Another positive change was the decision to allow girls who are 16 years of age and over. There are only a few younger players in the league, but at least they now have a place where they can enjoy this sport while in their late teens.

As a result, there are over 200 women of all ages playing slo-pitch two nights a week during the 15 week season. They play at Centennial Ball Park every Monday and Wednesday evening, with games at 6:30, 8:00, and 9:30 p.m. Valley East Today is pleased to introduce the First Annual Valley East Ladies' Slo-Pitch Photo Album with this issue. Below is one of the teams, sponsored by Rocky's and Beautiful Balance. We will be posting the rest of the team pictures as they are provided to us by long-time Slo-Pitch member, Monique Grenon.

Buying A New House This Year? Check Out Your Options At FANTASTIC FLOORS Before You Move In 
   Ron Pedneault, owner of Fantastic Floors, located in the Valley Bingo Plaza in Val Caron, prepares to discuss some new flooring options with one of his customers who have just purchased a new home in Valley East . The young couple is looking forward to moving into their home at the beginning of August and wanted to make some changes to the existing floors. Here they were going over some of the samples of ceramics and porcelain which are becoming ever popular throughout the entire house, not just in the kitchen and bathrooms.

   According to Ron, “Just about everybody I know who has purchased an existing house makes some changes to the flooring in at least one of the rooms. New home owners want to personalize the house in some way to make sure that the floors and walls are in line with their own personalities, or they just find the old flooring in need of replacement. Whatever the reason, it is always a good idea to change the flooring “before” you begin moving in with the furniture.”

   Ron advises that if you are preparing to move into a new house this summer or fall, it would be a good idea to meet with him to go over the options and plan your renovations to coincide with your moving date. Even if you are still “looking” for that perfect house, stop by and talk about the different kinds of flooring that you can order and get an idea of approximate cost so that you can include floor replacement in your cost calculations at the time of purchase. It doesn’t hurt to talk, and Ron will always find time to give you free advice.

   “You wouldn’t believe the number of people I’ve seen who are moving into homes in the Valley. We knew this community was going to grow, which is one of the main reasons we wanted to open FANTASTIC FLOORS,” stated Ron, who after spending over 30 years working in the flooring business on everything from installing to sales and management, has found that the transition to owning and operating his own store has been extremely satisfying.

   “We will do anything we can to help the Valley grow and prosper. That is why we are participating in the Valley East Lions Charity Days Treasure Hunt,” he explained.

   FANTASTIC FLOORS will have one of the twelve (12) combination locks on site from July 20 to July 26 and again from August 10 to 16. Anyone who has a combination is invited to stop by and see if you can open the lock and qualify for a trip to Cuba .

FANTASTIC FLOORS, is open Monday to Wednesday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ; open late until 9 p.m. on Thursdays and Fridays, and; open until 5 p.m. on Saturdays.

Masciangelo Motors Brings In Greater Number of On-Site Vehicles With Expansion of Lot Space
Masciangelo Motors has recently expanded the the amount of space it has on site for vehicles and the result has been a huge increase in the number of cars and trucks on the lot for customers to browse through. 

Ron & Jeff continue to search out the auctions, both in person and on-line to bring in the best deals possible. This means that many vehicles are on and off the lot before you know it, so many people in the market for pre-owned vehicles have developed the habit of dropping in for a look on a regular basis.

You can still discuss the type of car or truck you would like to purchase and have Ron & Jeff search out the continent for exactly what you are looking for. The "Pick of the Month" section on their web site also gives you an excellent overview of the kinds of vehicles you can find on the lot.

If you want a close up look at the latest on the lot, just drop in and see Ron, Jeff, Tim or Jennifer. Better yet, go the link below and take a tour right from your computer.

You can find out much more by visiting the Masciangelo Motors web site at www.masciangelomotors.com

Teens Invited To Work With Valley East Youth Centre To Make This Something That The Entire Community Can Be Proud Of 

The Valley East Youth Centre, located beside the Centennial Arena in Hanmer, is open every Friday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. 

Susan Johnston, shown on the right, has been working with the Valley East Youth Centre for over 23 years. While this is likely one of the most challenging times she has seen in the history of the Centre, she is still optimistic that the organization will see better times, "We are down to only one night a week right now, but if we can get some energetic and ambitious teenagers involved, we may be able to raise the funds necessary to begin opening more often and get back to the interest level that we once had at the Valley East Youth Centre."

One of her main goals over the next couple of months is to speak to as many of the youth as possible to determine what they would like to see from the Youth Centre, "Just about all of the teenage boys and girls I talk to wants to keep the Youth Centre open. So, I want to find out what it will take to have them participate in our activities and to bring their friends over."

The ball is now in the hands of the young people of the community. If teenage boys and girls want to see the Valley East Youth Centre continue to exist, it will be up to them to show their support and get involved in activities. If you would like to contact Susan Johnston for more information, call her at 969-5188.
