<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 14, 2012) Many Adirondack artists will tell you that our region offers nearly all the elements a landscape painter looks for - mountains, trees, waterways and ever-changing hues of green, gray and blue. You&apos;ll find dozens of artists outdoors this week in the Adirondacks painting &quot;plein air&quot; during Saranac Lake&apos;s Fourth Annual Plein Air Festival, part of the &quot;Great Adirondack Days&quot; celebration.It&apos;s a time-honored tradition, particularly by artists who want to convey a sense of immediacy. They&apos;ll find a spot with a great view of a mountain or along a stream, prop up an easel and paint just as they see it. Most works are completed within hours on the spot. Spontaneity is key. Bugs, rain and fleeting sunlight are challenges.Last summer, Todd Moe tagged along when Lake Placid artist Jackie Altman returned to a favorite spot with views of some of the High Peaks.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 19, 2012) A Federal agency has given a Chicago-based company the green light to revive a 30-mile industrial railroad that stretches from North Creek to Newcomb.
