Flight Rally at Greater Sudbury Airport.
This rally is part of the E.A.A. Aviation Foundation’s
Young Eagles Program created to get more young people
interested in aviation. This organization has flown more than
one million young people to date.
"Free airplane rides are just part of the flight
rally", said Saul Cartman, spokesman for the event.
"We hope to build one-on-one relationships between pilots
and young people, giving the new generation a chance to learn
more about the possibilities that exist in the world of
aviation."
At the event, pilots will explain more about their
airplanes, allowing young people to discover how airplanes
work and how pilots ensure safety is the prime concern before
every flight.
Following the flight, each young person will receive a
personalized Certificate, making them an official "Young
Eagle". Their name will be entered into the "WORLD’S
LARGEST LOG BOOK" which is on permanent display at
the EAA Air Adventure Museum in Oshkosh, WI. The log book is
also accessible for viewing on the internet at .

| 2006 Valley East
Sports Hall of Fame Inductions Held During Valley East Lions Charity
Days |
|
 |
| The 8th Annual Valley East Sports Hall of Fame Inductions
were held on Saturday, September 9 during the Valley East Lions Charity
Days at the Centennial Arena in Hanmer. The Master of Ceremonies was Ron
Dupuis, standing at the far right of the photo above. Ron is also the
Chairman of the Selection Committee. Others in the photo, from the left,
include: Andre Rivest, who, along with Shelley Martel (3rd from the left)
assisted Ron in making the presentations.
The remainder of the people in the photo include the 2006 inductees.
Ken and Bonnie Davidson were inducted in the Sponsor Category as owners of
the Tim Horton's Franchise in Val Caron. Eric Larochelle, 3rd from the
right, was inducted in the Amateur Athlete Category, and Gabby Laberge,
2nd from the right, was the 2006 Volunteer Inductee. |
 Gabby
is shown at the left receiving her plaque and gifts from Shelley Martel,
MPP for Nickel Belt. In the background is Gabby's long time friend, Hilda
Kingsley, who was the first Volunteer Hall of Famer every inducted into
the Hall of Fame in 1998.
Hilda pointed out how devoted Gabby has been over the years, especially
in her fund-raising role with the Valley East Cobra 'AAA' Midget Hockey
Club.
"Gabby is most deserving of this award," Hilda explained.
"She works full time and still volunteers at the Elizabeth Centre. On
top of that she spends countless hours with me as we try to raise money
for the hockey team. She goes to all of the hockey games to watch her
grandchildren and never misses a midget game, helping me collect tickets
and 50/50 tickets. Many people who know Gabby will recall how she handles
the stress of hockey games by knitting. She has developed a skill for
keeping her eyes on the flow of the game and never missing a stitch.
|
 Bonnie
and Ken Davidson have been in the Tim Horton's business for over 20 years.
They were commended for the wonderful work they are doing with the Tim
Bits Programs in both hockey and soccer. Tim Horton's also sponsors
numerous special activities in the community, including the free skating
at Christmas, free family swims, and community initiatives that help clean
up the environment. On top of that, the Davidson's were shown as examples
of sponsors who work and play in their home community. Ken stated that he
considered this to be "a great honour that has been bestowed upon
Bonnie and I today. We truly appreciate this award and thank everyone for
making this possible." Before the ceremonies, Ken joked that when he
was first called, he thought that he might be getting the induction into
the Hall of Fame for his "golfing skills". |
 Eric
Larochelle was induced into the Valley East Sports Hall of Fame for his
amateur hockey career which started in the Valley East Minor Hockey
system.
Ron Dupuis called Eric, "A true Valley East boy. When you have
talent you will get noticed."
He explained that Eric was a star player with the Valley East Cobras
before moving over to play with the Rayside Balfour Sabrecats. After being
drafted by the Oshawa Generals in the spring of 2000 he ended up going to
Guelph where he made it to the Memorial Cup finals. He was traded to the
Sudbury Wolves, but an ankle injury three games into the schedule ended
his hopes for a long-term hockey career.
Today, Eric is attending Cambrian College in the Millright program and
will be graduating in the spring of 2007. He expects to continue to be
involved in hockey in some capacity in the future.

| Suzanne McCarthy Wins Over $1500 In
Gift Certificates As Grand Prize Winner For August |
|
 Robert
Kirwan, Director of Marketing and Public Relations for the Hanmer Valley
Shopping Centre, presents Suzanne McCarthy with her prize package of more
than $1500 in gift certificates and merchandise discounts as the grand
prize winner of the August Customer Appreciation Draw sponsored by mall
merchants.
Suzanne has lived in Hanmer for the past three years
and is the past president and Artistic Director of the Valley Community
Theatre.
"I really loved my involvement with the Theatre,
but with three children at home all under the age of three, it is just too
much, so I had to resign my positions. I am spending all of my time being
a "mom" and "wife" now and I'm loving it. Perhaps I
will return to the Theatre at a later date."
Suzanne's winning entry was a purchase she had made
at Desjardins' Food Basics. It was drawn from thousands of entries that
were placed in the two big drums that are located in the mall. The
September contest is now under way and the next winner will be
chosen on September 30, 2006.

| The Sudbury Branch of the Red Cross is looking for youth
from the ages of 15 to 25 to be part of their Youth Group. The vision of
this international program is to have active and sustainable youth groups
producing quality projects and activities benefiting the branch, community

commitment, experience and the satisfaction of being genuinely involved in
the humanitarian mission of the Red Cross. The Red Cross offers training
in some of their programs, workshops on Humanitarian issues, guest
speakers, plus lots of FUN.
And FUN it was for the girls who participated in the Valley East Lions
Charity Days at the Centennial Arena on September 9. We used two photos in
this article to identify "Buckles", the Red Cross Mascot.
"Buckles" just happened to be the lovely Janet Evans, a Hanmer
girl who attends Laurentian University as an English Major with
aspirations of one day becoming a teacher. Others, standing, from the
left: Hilary Duff, a Grade 11 student from Lockerby who lives in Sudbury;
Chantal Audet, a Sudbury resident who attends Grade 12 at Sacre-Cour;
