<title>A Cold War relic with a new mission</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 28, 2011) Australian architectural designer Alexander Michael opens an exhibit of his sculptures this Saturday at his part time Adirondack hidden home that once housed an anti-ballistic missile (ABM). Michael will also give tours of his former Atlas Missile Silo in Lewis, in the Champlain Valley.  Twelve ABM sites were built near the Plattsburgh Air Force base in the early 1960’s, hidden in the mountains. Each deep underground silo held a missile, and quarters where the crews lived and worked. Many of these silos were taken off alert and fully decommissioned within a few years.  Following their closure, most of them were sold off to local towns, salvage companies or left to decay. But Michael’s Lewis Missile Base, also known as Boquet 556-5, is one of the more impressively restored missile silos.He lives there for about eight weeks each year, and for more than ten years, he’s pumped out water, hauled out or recycled scrap metal, restored the former Launch Control Center into an underground retreat. Todd Moe stopped by for a tour. [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18487/20110928/a-cold-war-relic-with-a-new-mission">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<title>Massena proposes going nuclear</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17004/20110118/massena-proposes-going-nuclear</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 18, 2011) Massena town supervisor Joe Gray’s been busy lately.  He’s been fielding calls from people reacting to his proposal last week to bring a nuclear power plant to the shores of the St. Lawrence River.  Nuclear power has evoked deep divisions in communities across the country.  A reactor would bring hundreds of good-paying jobs and a big boost to the tax rolls.  But it also raises concerns about radioactive waste and impacts on the health of local residents and the St. Lawrence River.Joe Gray says he knew the proposal would be controversial.  A majority of the feedback he’s received he says has been positive.  Details are still very sketchy.  Gray told David Sommerstein Massena has the resources to go nuclear.
