<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 7, 2013) The spring musical season kicks off this weekend at a number of high schools in the North Country.  It&apos;s a busy time back stage and on stage with final rehearsals amid wet paint.In one school district the students are having — literally — a sweet time.  The musical, Willy Wonka, opens Friday night at St. Lawrence Central High School in Brasher Falls.  Special effects include airborne actors and chocolate-scented fog. Even though most schools are struggling with being able to afford extracurricular activities, like music and theater, that hasn&apos;t dampened the enthusiasm among students, staff and parents.  Todd Moe stopped by the final dress rehearsal for Willy Wonka Wednesday afternoon in Brasher Falls and found lots of school spirit.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20920/20121120/cranberries-bumper-crop-in-brasher-falls</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 20, 2012) Looking for that local touch for your Thanksgiving table?  Try cranberries, fresh from a bog in northern St. Lawrence County.  Peter Paquin owns Deer River Cranberries in Brasher Falls.He says local sales of his cranberries have grown fivefold.  He sells to North Country apple orchards and stores in Potsdam and Lake Placid.  Paquin says people even drive up to the farm to load up coolers full of berries.  &quot;Yeah, they basically come in with coolers and we fill &apos;em up, basically 50 pounds in a cooler,&quot; says Paquin.  &quot;We&apos;ve probably sold to 20 different people in the area, a hundred pounds each.  We&apos;re moving a lot of berries locally.&quot;Paquin says the hot, dry summer and the recent freezing nights have meant a late harvest.  But he says cranberries remain as lucrative a crop as ever.  David Sommerstein visited Paquin&apos;s cranberry bogs in 2008.
