Here are the top four stories today in Roswell:

1. “Beyond My Stone” is an event that The Roswell Historical Society will hold in October. There will be performances that will acquaint viewers with life and times in Roswell. The cast will share stories about their ancestors. The Historical Society is currently selling tickets to the show. Proceeds from ticket sales will help purchase markers for unmarked burial sites. There are currently 87 unmarked grave sites that have been identified by the Historical Society. These sites have been located by research and by using ground-penetrating radar. “Beyond My Stone” will be held on October 22 at The Pleasant Hill Historical Cemetery in Roswell. (appenmedia.com)
2. Sunshine on a Ranney Day is a local charity that's based in Roswell. Sunshine on a Ranney Day creates personalized rooms for children with special needs. It operates and provides services throughout the greater Atlanta area. Since 2012, the charity has built 160 rooms for children and has plans to build 60 more rooms this year. Such rooms can include wheelchair-accessible bathrooms and in-home therapy rooms.

3. The rivalry between Blessed Trinity High School and Marist High School will continue at Hughes-Spalding Stadium on September 16. This will be the seventh time that Marist and Blessed Trinity will compete and the Blessed Trinity Titans have a 4-2 advantage in the series. As of September 8, Blessed Trinity HS was ranked sixth in the state in AAAAAA. Speaking of the Titans, Marist coach Alan Chadwick stated, "they play hard. It has become a very significant rivalry for us, along with the other traditional rivalries that we have – Westminster, St. Pius, all the private schools that we have very good competitive balance with, and Blessed Trinity is the same."

4. Rasoi Fusion Indian Cuisine off Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell was recently highlighted in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. The restaurant showcases cuisine of Southern and Western India. The establishment serves various classic Indian gravies and also offers dishes with different spice levels. There is something for everyone.
