•As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.•As yet, Bernard Shaw hasn't become prominent enough to have any enemies, but none of hisfriends like him.•Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.•Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.•Experience is simply the name we give our mistakes.•I am not young enough to know everything. •All bad poetry springs from genuine feeling.•Illusion is the first of all pleasures. •There is no sin except stupidity•Whenever people agree with me I always feel I must be wrong•It is better to be beautiful than to be good. But... it is better to be good than to be ugly.•Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.•Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.•Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance.•Now that the House of Commons is trying to become useful, it does a great deal of harm.•She wore far too much rouge last night and not quite enough clothes. That is always a sign ofdespair in a woman.•The difference between literature & journalism is that journalism is unreadable & literature is not read.•America had often been discovered before Columbus, but it had always been hushed up.There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.

Walk of Starswalks away
Earlier this summer, the Walk of Starsapproached Rhonda & Chris McDonald,owners of Urban Cabin in the oldArmstrong Building, about leasing theirnewly renovated heritage building for amuseum & the Country Music Hall of Honour. Word is that it was ‘an offerthey couldn’t refuse’.But after musicfest organizersannounced that they couldn’t pay theirsuppliers & workers, and they wouldn’t be holding another festival without apartner or major sponsor, the Walk of Stars walked away from their offer toRhonda & Chris.The McDonalds already had theirlawyer working on the lease, and hadmade the decision to liquidate stock &close Urban Cabin. Now things are look-ing quite a bit different…WoS had been humming & hawingabout the Armstrong Building for a fewyears, even before Rhonda & Chris bought & renovated it. They’dapproached former owner several timesabout buying the building, but never ina serious way. And thank goodness —it’s hard to imagine a more tasteful &generous renovation to a major down-town heritage building than what theMcDonalds did.Then, seemed to me, WoS had thegood sense to see the benefits of the beautiful building & perfect locationwith its proximity to the new square.Too bad they’ve walked… Aside fromthe bad karma of influencing a businessto close its doors, the WoS museumcould be an extraordinary asset to thistown in such a place.If country music is part of our ‘her-itage’ then it’s fitting that it’s housed ina heritage building. If downtown is to bethe heart of a thriving community thenit’s fitting that a major draw such as theHall of Honour be at the heart of things.And with the back door literally givingonto the new Legacy Square, nobodywith such a tourist draw could dream of a better location.

Freedom Route 3
Monday, the Western CommandMilitary Vehicle Historical Society’sconvoy of former Canadian militaryvehicles stopped along QuilchenaAve. in front of the Legion. Thevehicles ranged from motorcyclesand jeeps to large cargo trucks andhalftracks, dating from the 1940s(World War 2) through to the 1980s.All the vehicles are privately ownedand maintained.The convoy left Abbotsford,overnighted in Merritt, then carried on the rest of their tour to Kamloops, Chase,Salmon Arm, Enderby, Vernon, Kelowna, Peachland, Summerland, Penticton, Oliver,Osoyoos, Keremeos and Princeton. The idea is to raise both youth and public aware-ness of Canada’s Veterans and the roles they played in the country’s Military history.
