Valley East Today
Continues to Grow In Popularity With Local Residents!
Now Top Site on Google Search Engine |
|
 The
Valley East Today Community Web Site was created some three years ago to
commemorate our Centennial Year. It was originally intended to become a web
site where we could accumulate stories and information showcasing the
accomplishments and achievements of local residents who were making a
difference in the community.
On November 29, 2005, we launched the Valley East Today Online Weekly
News Magazine, which is published every Tuesday and emailed out to a list of
subscribers that has grown to over 2500 as of this week's issue. In
addition, we estimate that anywhere from 10,000 to 20,000 different people
actually receive some or all of the Weekly News Magazine as articles and
links are forwarded to addresses around the world.
 To
give you some idea of just how massive this web site has become, when you
type in the search words, VALLEY EAST, on Google, Valley East Today comes up
as the first entry out of 98,000,000 others. This has tremendous
implications for the future of this great community. When people are
considering where to settle in the City of Greater Sudbury, they now have a
web site that captures most of the positive elements of Valley East, and
more importantly, provides a comprehensive insight into the PEOPLE who form
this community. And we all know that regardless of where you live, it is the
PEOPLE WHO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
|
|
|
Ever since the "Keep The Spirit Alive
Contest" was introduced in June the number of people
registering to receive the Valley East Today Weekly Online
News Magazine has skyrocketed.
This
growth has been realized thanks in part to the three
community-minded local businessmen in the photo above, namely, Mike
Lemieux, owner of Hanmer Home Hardware,
Robert Kirwan, Publisher of the Valley East Today Community Web Site and
Online Weekly News Magazine, and
Ken Desjardins of Desjardins’ Food Basics. The three men teamed up to begin a “Keep The
Spirit Alive Campaign” and are absolutely thrilled with the response
of all residents who are helping them to spread the message that
Valley East
is a great place in which to live!
In
explaining the purpose of the initiative, Kirwan explained, “We want to
let everyone know that
Valley East
is a town where you can still find that “old style community spirit”
mixed with a modern lifestyle that fits right in with the 21st
Century. There are a lot of good things happening in
Valley East
and it is about time that the rest of the people in the City of
Greater Sudbury
knew about it too! Furthermore, it is also time to let the rest of the
province know that if anyone is looking for a place to live and raise a
family, or a place to retire within the City of
Greater Sudbury, they need look no further than
Valley East
.”
In order to help get
this message out to the rest of the “world” the people of
Valley East
are being asked to take part in a massive communication strategy using the
power of the internet.
Everyone participating in this campaign
will have a chance to win a “Grand Prize” consisting of 100 Lotto 649
tickets for the New Year’s Eve Draw on
December 31, 2006
. What a way to celebrate the New Year by winning the big prize with one
of those tickets!
Runners
up will receive other valuable prizes, including “two” mountain bikes
donated by Hanmer Home Hardware, $300 in groceries from Desjardins’ Food
Basics.
In
order to qualify for these prizes, all you have to do is register to
receive the Valley East Today Weekly Online News Magazine. Every month
from July until the end of December, ten names will be drawn at random
from all of the people registered to receive the publication. Those ten
people will qualify for our final draw which will be held on Christmas
Eve. The winners will be announced in the December 26 issue of Valley East
Today!
Once
you register, the Valley East Today Online Weekly News Magazine will be sent directly to
your email address every Tuesday. Not
only will you qualify to win the 100 Lotto 649 tickets or other runner up
prizes, but more importantly, you can help us “Keep
the Spirit Alive” by forwarding Valley East Today to everyone on your
own personal mailing list.
By using the power of the internet, we can let
tens of thousands of people know about
Valley East
every week. Register below right now...

Confederation Secondary School Chargers Are The Team To Beat This
Year In Varsity Football Team |
|
|
The Confederation Secondary School Football Chargers went
head-to-head with LoEllen Park Knights last week in the battle for first
place. After building up a 21 to 6 lead in the first quarter, the Chargers
coasted to a convincing 44 to 25 victory and now find themselves as the
team to beat this year in search of their 2nd City Championship title in
only six years.
The Chargers have unleashed an amazing offensive attack
and have outscored their opponents by a total of 149 to 58 in only four
games.
This Friday, October 13 at 3:30 p.m. at Confederation
field in Val Caron, the Chargers take on Notre Dame in game five. The players would love to
see as many people from the community at the field to cheer them on. Football is not something that we get much of a chance to see in
Valley East, but it would be extremely nice if we gave our boys the kind
of boost that they get in small towns in the United States.
The complete schedule for the 2006 season for Confederation is as
follows:
|
REGULAR SEASON |
| Friday, September 15 |
Confederation 34
- Sudbury Secondary 0 |
| Friday, September 22 |
Confederation
35 - Lasalle 12 |
| Friday, September 29 |
Confederation
36 - St.
Charles 21 |
| Wednesday, October 4 |
Confederation
44 - LoEllen 25 |
| Friday, October 13 |
3:30 p.m. at Confederation against Notre Dame |
| Wednesday, October 18 |
3:30 p.m. at Confederation against Lockerby |
|
PLAYOFFS |
Semi-Finals
October 25 to 28 |
The teams will be divided into two divisions for the
playoffs with the top four in one division and the bottom four in
another. Semi-Finals will be played between October 25 and 28 with
the winners advancing to the finals of their respective divisions. |
Finals
Friday, November 3 |
The two final games will be played at Queen's Athletic
Field with the bottom four division meeting at 4:00 p.m. and the
City Championship Game at 7:00 p.m. |

Violet Mazzuca, on the
left, and her sister, Lenore D'Appalonia, will once again be in the Hanmer
Valley Shopping Centre selling tickets on a chance to win beautiful gift
baskets which will be drawn during the Annual Christmas Tea & Bazaar
at Our Lady of Peace Catholic Church in Capreol.
The winners of the
baskets in 2005 were Ray Laferierre, Joey Frawley and Daniel Courtemanche.
The funds raised will be
put to good use in the Parish.
