DON QUIXOTE VS. CITY HALL When an American gets mad, he says "where's my Gun". When a Canadian gets pissed off he says "Where is my pen, I'm going to send a letter to the EDITOR". When the EDITOR won't publish his letter he sets up his own BLOG page. When I received enough support to get a Council Seat the dogma of the establishment became : "Better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in." (Only time will tell !)

Dollars For Sporting Events
Vernon is getting some provincial funds to help put on three sporting championships this year. MLA Eric Foster (pictured) has announced funding from the Hosting BC program. Curl BC gets $5,000 to host the Canadian Direct Insurance BC Men's Curling Championship Feb 7-13 at the Vernon Curling Club. The Sovereign Lake Nordic Club gets $15,000 to host the Sparkling Hill Masters World Cup 2011 March 3-11. The BC Lacrosse Association receives $10,000 to stage the BCLA Minor Box Lacrosse Provincial Championships in July. Foster says, "Hosting events like these provide an excellent opportunity for us to show our hospitality and encourage tourism in our area. The events will also be fun for families and help to get our children interested in sports."
