<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21475/20130220/with-recurring-floods-what-apos-s-next-in-malone</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 20, 2013) Leaders with town of Malone hope to meet with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the next week, to talk about the flooding along Lower Park Street. The on-again, off-again cold weather this winter has meant a series of emergency declarations in Malone. When the mercury has dipped below zero, the Salmon River jams with ice. That means the water jumps its banks, flooding homes. Public officials are figuring out why the river jams have gotten so bad, and what to do next.

<title>From despair to repair: Wells library reopens Saturday</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19205/20120127/from-despair-to-repair-wells-library-reopens-saturday</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 27, 2012) An Adirondack community welcomes the return of its library this weekend, after months of repair work. The doors of the Wells Memorial Library in Upper Jay will reopen on Saturday as part of a day-long celebration. Five months ago, heavy flooding damaged the library after Hurricane Irene. The library&apos;s board president, Marie-Anne Azar Ward, says flood waters ruined a majority of the library&apos;s books, and nearly all the children&apos;s collection was destroyed.  Azar Ward says the community rolled-up its collective sleeves and went to work repairing the 106-year old building. The re-opening celebration, with music and food, starts at 1 o&apos;clock Saturday afternoon.

County officials aren’t confident there’s been $336,000 in public infrastructure damage—that’s the amount required to qualify for the aid.Colton has been the most heavily affected community in the county, but most of that damage—about $800,000 in all—was to private homes.
