Wildfire Smoke seen from Rossland today coming up from Washington State
Driving back from Castelgar today you could see the plume of smoke coming up in the distance somewhere behind Rossland. Here's a shot from the Washington State fire service showing the currently active fires and smoke plumes trailing up into BC and towards Rossland. I've highlighted Rossland on the map....
location of the cross from the old hospital
Of course the cross should be placed in a public location such as Pioneer Park. Although the hospital was run by the Catholic nuns, it was a health care facility for the entire community and should be remembered and respected as such. This was a first class hospital and was open to all who needed health care regardless of...
Another farmer's market in Castlegar
I thought this would be useful information for any members of the Rossland market looking to expand their audience. Ideally, we should have a Kootenay circuit of markets that don't occur on the same days...that way the sellers can make a better living and the shoppers can have a better selection!CASTLEGAR FARMERS MARKET SEEKS...
Noisy Neighbourhood!
I just HAVE to vent about the Emcon lot, since I live across the street from it. Let me preface this rant by saying 1) yes, I am aware that the highway resurfacing project is necessary and I am not saying we don't need it and 2) I realize that - SO FAR - no noise bylaws are being violated, YET, but... MAN, it's fracking loud...

I came across this great slide show of classic style ski photos by Dave Heath and the jones for snow got even worse. If you need a fix, here's Heath's...

Farmer's Market on Thursday
I'm REALLY enjoying the Farmer's Market downtown on Queen St. on Thursday afternoons. Bought some greens there last week from (sheesh, I hope I have remembered her name correctly!) Rachel, who is gardening on a borrowed plot in Happy Valley--they were SUBLIME. The bunch of carrots and Swiss chard I got today were equally tasty...
Nice job!
This is great! I'm really looking forward to seeing what happens here! Thanks for making it happen, Telegraph Dudes!...
