<title>Heard Up North: Pumping gas for flight</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18069/20110725/heard-up-north-pumping-gas-for-flight</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 25, 2011) Whether it’s from a float plane, a little two-seater, or even one of those little commercial jets, the aerial  view of the North Country is unforgettable.  You can see the whole topography of the Adirondack range, topped by the high peaks. There are vast skeins of wetlands, rivers, lakes and ponds, and villages stitched together with ribbons of roadways.The network of airstrips across northern New York is less obvious, but there are just enough to host a community of private planes and their pilots.  The airfield in Boonville is typical of the smallest  private airfields. It&apos;s really just that: a flat, well-mowed grassy field.  But it does have its own gas pump.  Here’s today’s Heard Up North. [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18069/20110725/heard-up-north-pumping-gas-for-flight">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<title>Final push on to save Tug Hill Commission</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17331/20110318/final-push-on-to-save-tug-hill-commission</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 18, 2011) Leaders across Lewis, Jefferson, and Oneida counties are making a full court press to save the Tug Hill Commission.  The 38 year-old agency provides planning, development, and natural resource management assistance to the isolated towns and villages of the Tug Hill Plateau.The State Senate has included $1.1 million for the Commission in its spending plan.  That’s a 10% budget cut, on par with what other agencies are dealing with.  But the Assembly is so far following Governor Cuomo’s recommendation to dissolve the Commission.  That’s left Tug Hill leaders fighting for the agency&apos;s survival.  David Sommerstein reports.

<title>College class comes to Boonville</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16954/20110107/college-class-comes-to-boonville</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 7, 2011) In Boonville, in northern Oneida County, it’s not easy to get a college education.  The closest community colleges are miles away.  And in the snowy Tug Hill winter, it’s often hard to get anywhere.So it’s not surprising that college graduation rates are low in the community.  That drew the attention of Mother Linda Logan, rector of Trinity Episcopal church.  She and a parishioner, retired professor and researcher Maureen Casamayou, have worked to bring Boonville its first college class.Casamayou will teach a three-credit course in American government.  It’ll be credentialed by Mohawk Valley Community College.  The class begins on January 18th.David Sommerstein spoke with Mother Linda Logan about why she and Casamayou started the class.For more information and to register, call the college at 315-792-5354.
