Mayor Greg Granstrom and a gift to Surnadal—a moose antler carved with the City of Rossland coat of arms

Following on the (free) heels of an enormously successful 116th Winter Carnival in which the new bronze statue of Olaus Jeldness in downtown Rossland was feted by hundreds of merrymakers—including Olaus lookalikes, visiting Norwegian dignitaries, and descendants of Olaus himself—the City of Rossland and the municipality of Surnadal, Norway, have decided to tie the knot.

TALES AND LEGENDS OF THE MOUNTAIN KINGDOM: Some Women of Rossland’s boom years

It’s time to tip the scales a bit - as much as I can given the resources that are available. I have done countless (it seems) profiles of men in Rossland’s boom years, except for the article on the red light district, because there is a lot of information out there about these men. Well-known women of Rossland are a different story.

Food for thought: GDS-free shish kabobs like honey-mustard chicken

I'm so sorry I'm late getting this to you – believe it or not, I was trying to get a stuffed turkey in the oven early enough that we won't be eating at 8 or 9 p.m. Do I know how to celebrate Mother's Day, or WHAT?

The shish kabobs would've been my first choice for tonight, but they needed to be cooked and photographed early enough for you to make them your Sunday dinner, if the spirit moves you (or, if you're a mom like me, maybe it will move that angelic soul who's giving you a breather and doing the cooking for you).

Can fun and laughter be combined with mourning? We'll find out next week when RSS presents its final high school drama production before the trustees of School District 2o bus our enthusiastic young students down to Trail for reasons that make no...sorry, forgot this was the Arts and Culture section.

This final production is a production of Alladin starring an array of giant, 'muppet'-like puppets. The puppets, needless to say, are operated and voiced by our talented young students.

Trail market filling up fast

The City of Trail and the Trail & District Chamber of Commerce say vendor space is filling up in the Trail Market on the Esplanade for the summer of 2013, with over 50 per cent of the spaces already allocated for the full year.

Because the event achieved such tremendous success in 2012 with over 6,000 visitors and 125 different vendors, the Trail Market on the Esplanade is anticipated to be an even busier.

HE SAID SHE SAID: Public outcry pushes for sustainability, but council digs in its core service heels

Following council’s five hour debate on the entire budget on May 1, council was forced to pause the financial plan blitz for twenty minutes on May 6 to hear nine members of the public oppose the only major cut: approximately $20,000 axed from the Sustainability Commission (SC), terminating their paid coordinator with no transition plan in place.

The May 1 meeting was open to the public but was not publicized, so only the Telegraph and the library manager were there to witness the debate, recorded in six articles:
