<title>The Road from 9/11:  How the war on terror changed one North Country family</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19684/20120418/the-road-from-9-11-how-the-war-on-terror-changed-one-north-country-family</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 18, 2012) One of the uncomfortable truths about the terror attacks on 9/11 is that some families have carried a far greater burden during the months and years that followed. The Olsen family, from Saranac Lake, have spent much of the last decade separated; Chaplain Eric Olsen first mobilized for duty at ground zero in New York City, then for war in Iraq. In a special documentary production aired for the 10th anniversary of the terror attack, Brian Mann produced a special documentary telling the story of how 9/11 shaped the lives of Eric and Susan Olsen, and their sons Garth and Evan. This first aired Sept. 12, 2011. It recently won an Edward R. Murrrow award for best radio documentary.

<title>Remembering the September 11 attack through art</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18354/20110906/remembering-the-september-11-attack-through-art</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 6, 2011) Many communities will take some time on Sunday to pause and remember the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington DC and rural Pennsylvania.  A sculpture that uses twisted metal beams from the World Trade Center will be unveiled Sunday in the Saratoga county hamlet of Gansevoort. It&apos;s titled, Tempered by Memory, and artists Noah Savett and John Van Alstine are disappointed that plans to place the sculpture permanently in Saratoga Springs are on hold.  But they&apos;re optimistic.  A toned-down unveiling of their sculpture will be held at the NS Associates steel yard on Pettis Road in Gansevoort at noon on Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.Todd Moe spoke with artist John Van Alstine, who lives in the southern Adirondacks.   He says using the resurrected steel for art, and trying to please everyone, were challenges.
