| Roy St. Jacques
Continues To Collect Pop Cans In Support Of Special Olympics Bowling
League |
|
 If you live in the community of Val Therese, or if you
happen to shop at the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre, you have seen a man
carrying garbage bags full of empty pop cans and beer bottles. You may not
have paid much attention to this man. I know I never gave him much thought
until last fall when I found out that his name is Roy St. Jacques, and what
he is doing with those garbage bags is truly remarkable and he should be
an inspiration to all of us.
Roy
is a Special Olympics 5 Pin Bowler from the Bonaventure Lanes Challenge
League in Val Caron. This is a Tuesday Night League that helps
developmentally challenged individuals enjoy the sport of bowling. The
collection of aluminum pop and beer cans is the major fund-raiser for the
league and is put towards the expenses of the members.
Roy
has going door to door collecting over 25 bags of cans for over a year in
the area near the shopping center and around Val Therese. He is very
appreciative of the support he has received from residents as he walks his
route up and down the streets collecting the cans. The mall has also
provided him with the loan of a shopping cart to help with the
project.
All year long the bowlers collect pop cans and refundable bottles. The
proceeds are used by the league to help pay for the banquet. Roy, who is
know in these circles as the "Pop Can Man" was responsible for
collecting the largest number of cans. In all, over 400,000 cans, weighing
in at over 7 tons were collected.
Despite his busy schedule,
Roy
is never in too much of a hurry to say hello or to stop and talk for a few
minutes. He is never too busy to give you a smile or ask you how your day
is going.
Roy
may not be the president of a large multi-national company. He may not
drive around in an expensive car or ever run for election. But what he is
doing is certainly adding to the character of this fine community and he
is definitely making a difference.
Every Tuesday the group gathers at Bonaventure Lanes at
6:30 p.m. The bowl one game and then have a fifteen minute break for
snacks and refreshments before bowling the second game. Everything is over
by about 8:30 p.m. This year each of the participants were presented with their own
Special Olympics Jacket thanks to the money raised by the pop can
collection. Roy is shown on the right proudly wearing his jacket this
summer.
The head coach for the Valley East
Ontario Special Olympics Team is Claude Poitras.
Anyone interested in registering for the League for the
2006-2007 season can just call Claude for more information at 969-5981.
The League starts the first Tuesday after the September long weekend and
finishes at the end of April, a total of about 33 weeks. |

| 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.

Local Churches

 George
Stock, on the left, a long-time member of the Valley East Lions Club,
took a shift at the ticket table at the Hanmer Valley Shopping Centre
as the Lions enter the final week of selling tickets on a brand new 2006 Pontiac Wave
automobile.
The draw is being held in conjunction with the
Valley East Charity Days Event which will take place on
Saturday, September 9, 2006 at the Centennial Arena.
The Lions will be available all week long leading up to
the weekend as they make
the last of the 1200 tickets available to the general public.
The proceeds from the sale of the tickets will be donated to
several local parishes in Valley East.
Tickets are selling for $20 each. There will only be 1200
sold in the contest, so the chances of winning are excellent.
This will be a "Reverse Draw" event, which means
that at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, September 9, 2006, they will
begin drawing tickets from the big drum. Every 100th ticket
will win the lucky owner a price of $50 in cash. The last
ticket in the drum will contain the name of the winner of the
Pontiac Wave.

 Be
sure to look for Rolly Albert, on the left, and Roger Brideau in the mall
during the final week as the Lions attempt to sell all of the tickets
prior to draw time on Saturday, September 9 at 4 p.m.
The Valley East Lions Appreciate Your
Support!
