Dear editor,As the organiser and host of Rossland Radio Co-Op's games and trivia fundraiser "The Price Is Jeopardy Or No Deal Of Fortune" I'd like to publicly thank the local businesses who, once again, donated prizes.

Hey Rossland,By now I imagine most of you have heard… I love how quickly rumors can circulate around this little town of ours! But in case you haven’t, I have some incredibly disheartening news.  It pains me to tell you that it looks unlikely that I will be competing in the 2010 Paralympics in March.  Just one month prior to...
