INTERVIEW: Moore good music playing in the garden this week

Story pole raised in traditional way at Christina Living Arts Centre
Every community has a story. For Christina Lake the story dates back to the times before even the First Nations story began, back to the time that only exists in the legends of the S’nixit people who lived in the area.

REVIEW: Rossland gets shredded
Ah yes, the good old banjo: that brilliant half guitar-half drum instrument. For generations its god-given talent for getting toes tapping and people dancing has been a staple in country music, hoedowns, and lazy days spent sitting on a back porch picking the world's cares away.

Is the grass really greener?
With all the grad stuff going on right now, I often get nostalgic at this time of year for good old 1992, the year of my own grad. Like a lot of my classmates, I could not wait to blow this joint called Rossland so I could munch on the greener, tastier grasses of places like Vancouver, Kelowna, Victoria and other cities that...
APRIL FOOL! There’s no place like Dome – Rossland takes back the right to swim
Rosslanders will soon regain the right to swim--affordably and year round--right here in the Golden City. The recent rejection of Rossland’s latest attempt to restart negotiations around a new recreation cost sharing agreement by the City of Trail seems to have prompted a drastic rethink on the part of council.

Spirit of the West are as close to Canadian music legends as it gets after a quarter century rocking the country. You`re coming through Rossland as a solo act this time though.
