<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 19, 2012) &quot;Movember&quot; is an annual, month-long event where men grow a &quot;mo,&quot; or moustache, as part of a campaign to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer and men&apos;s health initiatives. It started in Australia over a decade ago and has spread throughout the world.The rules are simple: be fully shaved at the start of the month and grow a moustache throughout the month of November. There are many different moustache styles that can be used, from fully-grown to hardly noticeable. All moustaches are accepted, no matter how much someone can grow.In that time, millions of men with a desire to do good through facial hair, and the women who support them (the Movember organization calls them &quot;mo bros and mo sistas&quot;) have raised almost $300 million.Movember isn&apos;t as well known in the North Country as in some other places, but at Clarkson University in Potsdam, it&apos;s getting bigger.

<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 13, 2011) Some people collect stamps, some people collect Star Wars action figures.  One woman in St. Lawrence County collects memorabilia from the relatively old-fashioned beer, Schlitz.  David Sommerstein visited the Schlitz Museum for today’s Heard Up North.  There are still places to buy Schlitz in the area.  Michelle Whalen of Morristown knows of all of them.

<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>

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 17, 2011) Across the North Country, Amish carpenters craft fine, handmade wooden sheds.  But unless you live nearby, they&apos;re unlikely to haul it to your house on horse and buggy.That&apos;s where movers like Clarence Forbes come in.

<title>Heard Up North: Slacklining</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 1, 2011) There’s a whole subgenre of sport you see people doing at parks to while away a summer day.  Hacky sack is a classic.  Devil sticks is another.  Hula hooping is back.  A newer one uses a rubbery climbing rope strung between two trees.  It’s called slicklining.  David Sommerstein saw some St. Lawrence University students doing it on campus recently.  Here’s today’s Heard Up North.
