<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 26, 2011) There’s not much more known today about the death of a 12 year-old boy in Potsdam Monday. Police in Potsdam say Garrett Phillips was alone in his mother&apos;s apartment early Monday evening when neighbors reported hearing a loud noise and the sound of someone moaning for help.When police officers and the manager of the apartment building entered the residence, they found the boy lying unconscious on the floor. He was taken to Canton-Potsdam Hospital, where he died around 7:20 p.m. Monday. Rumors that his death was the result of an assault have circulated, but this morning, a spokesman at the Potsdam Police Department could neither confirm nor deny those reports. The department plans a press conference at 10. Nora Flaherty reports.

<title>Swimming a mile for hospice</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18142/20110804/swimming-a-mile-for-hospice</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 4, 2011) Dozens of swimmers will gather in Hannawa Falls for the annual &quot;Swim a Mile for Hospice&quot; event on Saturday.  It&apos;s a non-competitive mile long swim to benefit the work hospice does in the St. Lawrence Valley.  Last summer, 67 swimmers young and old took to the water at Postwood Park Beach.  Todd Moe caught up with members of Team Cobb — a father-daughter swim team — just before a recent practice swim in the pool at St. Lawrence University.  They swam last year and will be back in the water on Saturday.

<title>Greening the Afterlife, Part IV</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/16495/20101019/greening-the-afterlife-part-iv</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 19, 2010) Over the past few months we’ve been bringing you stories about Vermonters who are “greening the afterlife.”  Home burial and other do-it-yourself methods are legal in Vermont.  It’s different in New York State.  Today, we hear from a man who dealt with death on both sides of Lake Champlain – and found that different laws made for a very different experience.  Angela Evancie has more in this, Part IV of the series.(Angela Evancie is working with NCPR this year as part of a Compton Mentor Fellowship.)

<title>The Hospice Path, Part Two:  Nearing the end, celebrating a life lived in full</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 6, 2010) Last week, we began a new on-going series called the Hospice Path.  North Country Public Radio is looking in-depth at the way hospice programs across the region are changing people’s lives at a time when they’re forced to confront the certainty of death.  We’re telling that story in part by spending time with the Gallagher family in Saranac Lake.  Bill Gallagher is 87 years old and his lungs are slowly failing.  But with the help of High Peaks Hospice, he’s been able to stay at home with his wife Tomi.In order to better describe their experience, our reporter Brian Mann decided to first spend some time asking about Bill&apos;s long life before he got sick.
