<title>&quot;The People&apos;s voice&quot; CJHR celebrates Ottawa Valley Heritage</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (May 9, 2012) All sorts of radio stations these days are busy blending old content with modern technology. Staying relevant, while reaching out to new listeners. Take CJHR, a non-profit station in Renfrew, Ontario. “Valley Heritage Radio” serves up an eclectic mix for a mostly-rural audience. The format is at least half Canadian content, and about 20% of that is local. The station saves space for something called Ottawa Valley music, a country style influenced by Celtic and French roots, refined in lumber camps that once spanned the region. Lucy Martin dropped by the CJHR booth at the Ottawa Valley Farm Show in March to hear how they&apos;re making community radio happen.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 18, 2010) The duties of the head gardener at Upper Canada Village, a living history museum in Morrisburg, Ontario,  are many…and varied. Brian Henderson  “lives” gardening as it was in the mid-1800s. It’s a full time commitment, from seedlings, through summer, and the harvest.  Brian Henderson uses “period” tools and methods…and wardrobe, as well. He&apos;s today&apos;s Heard Up North.Henderson told his story to Jill Breit, of Traditional Arts in Upstate New York. TAUNY is our partner in the Garden Plot, and you can find more about Jill’s trip to the Upper Canada Village gardens at the Garden Plot blog.

<title>Heritage shutdown sheds light on Amish economy</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/12116/20080922/heritage-shutdown-sheds-light-on-amish-economy</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 22, 2008) One of St. Lawrence County’s best known cheese brands is about to disappear. Heritage cheeses and cheese curds are big sellers at local stores and quick-marts. But they didn’t sell well enough to keep Heritage out of the red. The plant in Heuvelton was losing $3,000 a week. It owes almost $200,000 in public loans. Heritage Cheese House will stop accepting milk Friday night. Fifteen people will lose their jobs. All the milk comes from Amish farms. Amish dairy farmers can’t join regular milk co-ops because they don’t use on-site refrigeration. The number of farms selling milk to Heritage dwindled in recent years, from more than a hundred to 65. Lowell McAllister is chairman of the Heuvelton Community Irrevocable Trust, which manages the plant for the Amish. The plant was founded in 1994. It closed briefly in 2006. He told Martha Foley Friday that this time, the shutdown is final.

<title>Historic Wawbeek buildings to be torn down</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/11436/20080519/historic-wawbeek-buildings-to-be-torn-down</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 19, 2008) Two historic buildings from the former Wawbeek Resort on Upper Saranac Lake will be coming down.  An attorney representing the owners has confirmed that the new owners of the property turned down two proposals to move the buildings. Preservationists have argued that the buildings constitute a unique piece of 19th century architectural history. The former resort was operated as an inn and restaurant until last fall when it was sold to the Southern California couple for $6.25 million.  Martha Foley talks with reporter Jacob Resneck, who’s been following this story.
