<title>Hearing historic voices of freedom, again, through song</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21966/20130510/hearing-historic-voices-of-freedom-again-through-song</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 10, 2013) New music will be performed tonight and tomorrow in Saranac Lake and North Elba as part of the John Brown Day events.    Voices of Timbuctoo is a new work based on the Adirondack settlement of Black farmers in the mid-1800&apos;s designed to secure voting rights.  Abolitionist Gerrit Smith gave away 120,000 acres of his land, beginning in 1846, hoping the Adirondack wilderness would offer refuge to black families. Voices of Timbuctoo, is an oratorio written by western New York composer Glenn McClure.   It&apos;s part of what he calls a Musical Freedom Trail. Some of his other works written to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation have been performed in Alabama, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and later this month in Rochester.  McClure says his research for the oratorio included reading through diaries, letters and documents featuring the words of Gerrit Smith, John Brown, and the individuals who worked on the land that Smith had provided.  McClure told Todd Moe that these texts illustrate hope and promise.

<title>How old photos inspired new Adirondack art</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21637/20130319/how-old-photos-inspired-new-adirondack-art</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 19, 2013) More than two-dozen glass plate negatives from a century ago have been re-imagined by a group of Adirondack artists in a new exhibit at the Lake Placid Center for the Arts.   The show, The Past Through The Eyes Of The Present, is a collaboration with The Lake Placid-North Elba Historical Society.   The two organizations asked thirty modern artists to search through the images, choose one and recreate it.   More than 8,000 glass plate negatives were rescued by Dr. George Hart from destruction in the 1970s.  Now known as the Barry Collection, the glass plates depict life in the Adirondacks:  sports, families and wildlife.   The collection was gifted to the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, where it has remained until this show. Now the LPCA is passing it along for safe keeping to the Historical Society.Todd Moe toured the exhibit with James Lemons, executive director of the Lake Placid Center for the Arts, and Parmelee Tolkan, one of the artists in the show who is also vice president of the Lake Placid-North Elba Historical Society.  Tolkan says part of the goal of the exhibit is to introduce the antique images to the public.

<title>Lake Placid house demolition caught in continuing dispute</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17808/20110609/lake-placid-house-demolition-caught-in-continuing-dispute</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 9, 2011) The Adirondack Park Agency is looking for closure 10 months after a judge ordered a half-built, 10,000-square foot mansion in Lake Placid demolished. The boarded-up structure, owned by Arthur and Margaret Spiegel, still stands.  Now the APA has filed a motion to find the Spiegels in contempt of court for failing to tear the building down but the Spiegels said they can&apos;t get the necessary demolition permits from the town. As Chris Knight reports, this is just the latest chapter in what&apos;s been a six-year legal battle.
