<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 22, 2012) What did you want to be when you grew up? Imagine sitting down with your four-year-old self today and telling him or her about your future. Would that child be surprised? Excited? Disappointed?Last week the pre-kindergarten class at Lawrence Avenue Elementary School in Potsdam graduated. For the graduation ceremony, their teacher Jen Herrick had them record what they wanted to be when they grow up. These recordings played as each child walked across the stage to receive his or her diploma. Tasha Haverty turned some of them into today&apos;s Heard Up North.

<title>Vanishing Youth:  Why do some young people stay?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19717/20120424/vanishing-youth-why-do-some-young-people-stay</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 24, 2012) This week, we&apos;re beginning an on-going series looking at the future of the North Country from the perspective of young people. New research from Cornell University shows counties in our region continuing to age, with fewer young families, fewer young professionals and fewer kids.  In the weeks ahead, we&apos;ll be looking at this problem from a lot of different angles. Today, Brian Mann talks with Tim Morse, a North Country native who made a different choice, returning and making a career in the region.  Tim, who is 26 years old, arrived back home earlier this month, leaving Chicago to take a job at SUNY Potsdam. He spoke with Brian right after getting off the road.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18038/20110720/kids-help-as-dec-tracks-quot-resident-quot-geese</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 20, 2011) New York state bands hundreds of geese throughout the region this time of year. Scientists want to know if their populations are growing, and where they’re growing to.It’s a catch and release operation, and the public is often recruited to lend a hand. The geese, many still in the gosling stage, are herded into pens, then singled out for banding.Ring-sized metal bracelets are gently clinched around a leg of each goose. Many already have bands from previous trappings. They provide data that help biologists track their numbers, range, and breeding habits. George Earl was on hand for a round-up in Saranac Lake.
