<title>Sharing a garden in Long Lake</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20971/20121128/sharing-a-garden-in-long-lake</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 28, 2012) Long Lake Central School&apos;s community garden has been growing fresh food for the cafeteria for eight years.   It&apos;s been such a success that surplus produce from the garden this year has gone to the local food pantry.    As part of the project, students and staff are composting waste from meals, and veggies are incorporated into school lunches as much as possible. Teacher Becky Pelton works with local farmers, like Chris Thompson, to manage the school&apos;s community garden. She says the students and Long Lake gardeners grow a variety of veggies in the schoolyard garden, which has become a learning experience for the school.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18937/20111214/christmas-bird-watching-with-a-benefit</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 14, 2011) For the 112th year, volunteer birders are fanning out across the country for the annual birding census this winter. The Christmas Bird Count continues through January 5th.The all-volunteer effort takes a snapshot of bird populations to monitor their status and distribution across the Western Hemisphere. Data collected during the Christmas Bird Count helps researchers monitor bird behavior and bird conservation. You could call it bird watching with a benefit.Todd Moe spoke with Long Lake birder Joan Collins, who says the Audubon Society started the Christmas Bird Count in 1900 as an alternative to a Victorian-era holiday hunting tradition of shooting the greatest number of birds.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18146/20110805/more-thoughts-about-19th-century-life-on-raquette-lake</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 5, 2011) Physician, scholar, humanist, writer and artist are some of the monikers of a colorful visitor to the Adirondacks in the late 19th century.  Dr. Arpad Gerster vacationed on Raquette Lake in the 1890’s, and left behind pages of journal entries, musings and sketches of those summers in the Adirondacks.  Todd Moe spoke with Sidney Whalen, researcher and editor of Notes Collected in the Adirondacks 1897 &amp; 1898.  The book is the second in a series of publications of Dr. Gerster&apos;s work – his observations, adventures and gifted drawings from the late 1890’s. Sidney Whalen will give a lecture and slideshow on Gerster tonight at 7 o&apos;clock at the Long Lake Town Hall.

<title>Preview: Martin Sexton In Long Lake</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18066/20110722/preview-martin-sexton-in-long-lake</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 22, 2011) Originally from Syracuse, singer-songwriter Martin Sexton taught himself to play guitar and learned the craft of capturing his audience&apos;s attention by busking on the streets of Harvard Square in Boston.   Sexton will be performing at Mt. Sabattis Pavilion in Long Lake Saturday night (6pm).  Martin Sexton’s songs are intricate and spirited covering the American musical landscape distilling soul, gospel, R&amp;B and country. Sexton has built a large, loyal following.   And he’s doing well enough to have bought a little house in the country – in this case the Adirondacks. A couple of years ago, Sexton spoke with NPR’s Michele Norris about life and some of the music from his cd, Seeds.
