| How Many Minutes Would You Like To Spend Calling Long
Distance In A Month? |
|
 Edgar
Lajambe, is a 30-year old life-long resident of Hanmer. His passion for
computers and information technology goes back to a high school co-op
placement he had in 1994 with a company called the AMS Group. When he
graduated from
St. Charles
College
he discovered that there were a lot of people who kept coming to him for
computer repairs and consulting, so he formed his own company, Valley
Computers & Consulting.
When
VoIP (Voice over Internet Technology) was first introduced to
Sudbury
, Edgar saw this as the future of communication and immediately jumped on
board; studying everything there is to know about the technology. As a
result, he formed another division of his company, called VCCNet.ca
Internet Solutions, which deals with long-distance discount calling and
the use of the internet for communication purposes.
Edgar
has joined forces with another locally owned firm, Infocom Canada Business
Consultants Inc. which operates Valley East Today, a marketing &
public relations company which publishes a community web site and weekly
online news magazine.
“The
cost of long distance calling has always been a detriment to people living
in the north,” Edgar explained when asked why he feels so strongly about
the communication services he now provides to the community. “I know so
many of my friends and acquaintances who have children or parents living
in other parts of
Ontario
. They would love the chance to talk to them more often by phone, but long
distance charges really cut into the budget; especially for seniors who
would love to talk to grandchildren, or parents who have children away at
university or college.”
“Once
people find out how easy it is to switch over to my plan, and they realize
that there is absolutely no risk or long-term commitment – that all they
get is the freedom to talk on the phone to anyone in Ontario for as long
as they want for one low price of $15.95 a month, they are sold,” Edgar
went on.
“So
in order to demonstrate just how good this system actually is, I am going
to give everyone in
Valley East
and Capreol a chance to try it out for a WHOLE MONTH, absolutely free of
charge. If you use it, you can continue in the plan by paying a monthly
fee of $15.95. If you don’t want it, you can just stop using it and it
won’t cost you a thing! All I want you to do is try it and see how easy
it is to talk as much as you want. There is absolutely no catch. This
isn’t a trick. You won’t get any surprise bills later on. And you are
not obligated to stay with the plan once your free month is over. This is
just something I believe in so much, that I am willing to let you try it
out for a whole month. I know you are going to like it, so I know a lot of
you will stay with the plan,” Edgar declared.
To
get your free month of unlimited long distance calling in
Ontario
, give Edgar a call at 670-4039 or you can go to his web site at www.vccnet.ca

Studio Graduation Portraits Create A Lasting Memory Of One of The
Most Significant Events In Your Life...Ron Gladu |
 Ron Gladu has been doing graduation portraits for over 20
years and is currently the photographer for Confederation Secondary
School, Ecole Secondaire L'Horizon, and Ecole Secondaire Hanmer, as well
as many of the local elementary schools.
Ron and Lise thoroughly enjoy working with young students
in the secondary and post-secondary schools. Graduation is such an
accomplishment and it provides Ron and Lise with so much satisfaction to
be able to help make the event last a lifetime with a quality portrait.
"A person's high school graduation is a
once-in-a-lifetime event," Ron explained. "In fact, when you
speak to most people, they will tell you that their high school graduation
was the second most important event in their life, with their wedding
coming first. That is why we like to take our time and do anywhere from 8
to 12 different poses in order to make sure that we get the best photo
possible."
Ron will take photos of graduates at the school in order to
make it convenient for all students and staff, or he will take individuals
in his studio. The cost is the same whether the photo is taken at the
school or in the studio, however, Ron prefers to do the work in his studio
where all of the conditions are perfect and he can give each person a much
higher degree of personalized service. For

| Ron Masciangelo
Runs His Company The Way He Has Lived His Life... Having Fun And
Making Long-Lasting Friends |
|
 One
visit to Masciangelo Motors on Falconbridge Road is all you need to be
convinced that Ron Masciangelo runs his business the way he has always
lived his life. He loves people and he wants to make friends. That is all
you need to know to realize that this is one gentleman who will treat you
right.
Ron also loves to collect classic cars. One of his favourites is a 1987 Buick Grand National is one of the
last 12 that General Motors ever made. It has only 26,000
kilometers and is considered the last Muscle Car that General
Motors produced which could be driven right from the showroom
directly to the track. It is what Ron calls "A Rare
Breed". One of Ron's favourite adventures was in the
Buick Grand National. He recalls that one evening he couldn't
sleep, so he got up quietly, without waking his wife, Bonnie,
and went for a drive in the Buick while still in his pyjamas.
He drove into Sudbury, and since it was a Friday night, some
young "punks" in a Mustang drove beside him and
challenged him to a "drag" down the street. The
light turned green and Ron resisted as the Mustang took off
like a shot to the next set of lights. When Ron pulled up
beside the Mustang, the young kids once again challenged him
and sent a few derogatory comments his way. This time Ron was
mad, and when the light turned green, he floored it. At the
next lights, when the Mustang finally pulled up beside him,
the kids showed a lot of humble respect for this "old guy
in his pyjamas".

| Now Is The
Perfect Time Install New Flooring In Your Camp or Camper - See Ron
At Fantastic Floors |
|
 When it comes to vinyl flooring, Fantastic Floors has just
about everything you can imagine.
Now that summer is here, Ron has also assembled some inexpensive vinyl which is an
excellent choice for people who are looking for flooring for their
cottages or trailers.
This is right in the store and can be taken out on a
cash-and-carry basis. In fact, some of his rolls cost almost the same as
peel-n-stick products you can pick up at the hardware stores. Putting down
the floor as a role is so much easier and is naturally a better product.
The 'Builder's Choice' vinyl below is an
example of one of the four different patterns that Ron has in
stock for use in camps, trailers and anywhere else where all you
want to do is cover up a floor to make it look nice for seasonal
use. Besides being inexpensive, the flooring can be 'loose laid'
so you do not need any adhesive and it is extremely easy to
install. This 'cash 'n carry' product sells for only 79 cents a
square foot, so it can fit every budget.

Floors web site for more information on all of their products >>>>> |
| Sole Mates Family Footwear Expands
With Opening Of Second Location At The Rainbow Centre |
|
 Rob
Cousins, owner of Sole Mates Family Footwear is pleased to announce that
he has opened up a new 3600 square foot store at the Rainbow Centre in
Downtown Sudbury.
Sole Mates Family Footwear now has two locations in the City of
Greater Sudbury
. The first store opened in the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre in the
spring of 2003. The
decision to expand to Downtown Sudbury was based on several factors.
“Our philosophy at Sole Mates Family Footwear is
based on the fact that we want to establish a long-term relationship with
each of our customers. We are not interested in a ‘one-time’ sale. We
want our customers to come back to us on a continuous basis, so we give
them personalized service and pay particular attention to their individual
footwear needs,” explained Cousins. “During the first couple of years
we noticed that a growing number of our regular customers were coming from
Sudbury
. Therefore, I began to look for available sites in
Sudbury
in order to provide a more convenient location for customers who lived
outside of the communities of
Valley East
and Capreol.”
According to Cousins, the Rainbow Centre offered
everything he was looking for in a second location. “The Rainbow Centre
has become one of the most popular shopping centers in the City of
Greater Sudbury
. The management is committed to improving the shopping experience for
customers of all ages and it’s overall image has been revitalized as a
result of the opening of the Hart Department Store. This is an ideal
location for the kind of service we provide to our own customers. The
Rainbow Centre is right beside the Public Transit Terminal; it is in the
middle of a high density downtown residential area; it is within walking
distance of several hotels and motels; and it is in the heart of the
downtown business district which contains thousands of office workers from
the entire City of
Greater Sudbury
. On top of that, there is free parking for our customers and I was able
to secure one of the prime locations within the Rainbow Centre.”
The initial response from the public since the
opening of Sole Mates Family Footwear in the Rainbow Centre has been
overwhelming. “Even I didn’t expect the immediate results we are
receiving. Everybody we have spoken to is extremely impressed with the
layout, the selection, the quality and most of all, the personal service.
We will continue to go out of our way to completely satisfy the needs of
every one of our customers. Whether you are visiting from out of town, or
you are a life-long resident of the Greater Sudbury Area, you can rest
assured that you will be given the special treatment you deserve at Sole
Mates Family Footwear. That is our guarantee and it is something you can
count on.”
For more information please contact Rob Cousins at
(705) 969-7549 or (705) 675-7613. You can also visit our web site at www.solematesfamilyfootwear.ca.
