(02/09/10) Doing good deeds is nothing new to SUNY Potsdam student Tyler Kellogg. He grew up in Adams Center, near Watertown, where his generosity earned him the nickname Tyler "Dogood." Last summer, as part of a project at school, Kellogg took to the road -- travelling south to Florida. He spent 55 days living out of his car and helping strangers along the way. He recorded his experiences in a blog and journal. This winter, he's sharing his story with high school students and college classmates. Todd Moe spoke with Tyler Kellogg about his summer road trip adventures and generosity.

(04/22/09) Jim Juczak and his family are proud of their Jefferson County home. And they don't mind if people say it's trashy. Most of it is made of junk. Juczak lives near Adams Center and runs Woodhenge, an off-grid community and sustainability school. He's one of the featured speakers at the Sustainable Energy Fair in Canton this weekend. Juczak is a lecturer, tinkerer, gardener, alternative energy do-it-yourself expert, and green builder. He spoke with Todd Moe about his 18-sided home made of wood and papercrete - a paper sludge from a local mill. He says 80 % of his home is made of salvaged materials.
