On February 22nd, 1813, hundreds of British-Canadian soldiers crossed the frozen St. Lawrence River and attacked Ogdensburg.  Historical re-enactors with the group, Forsyth&apos;s Rifles, will battle the British on Ford and State Streets to commemorate the skirmish. Both sides will fire period muskets and firearms in recreating the battle.It was a Canadian victory during the War of 1812, and an end to the American threat to trade in Upper Canada.  Depending on what side of the border you lived on, the battle had its share of heroes and legends.

<title>A heart as big as Santa&apos;s, and a real beard, too</title>

<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 19, 2012) For more than 45 years, an Ogdensburg man has donned his Santa suit and played a Christmas role that has brought much joy to himself and others. Duane Adams first played Santa when he was a soldier stationed near Saigon during the Vietnam War. Every season since, Adams has visited schools, hospitals, nursing homes and parades dressed as the jolly old elf. His Santa work begins in November and, like the real deal, he&apos;s busiest right before Christmas. He&apos;s always the guest of honor at Ogdensburg&apos;s annual Santa Claus parade. For Adams, most of the pleasure comes from giving back — he donates all his Santa earnings to local charities.Todd Moe paid him a visit during a day off, and found the beard, belly and generosity are all genuine.

<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 5, 2012) Artist Frederic Remington&apos;s bronze sculptures of cowboys, native Americans, and cavalry are considered prized collector&apos;s items.  The Remington Museum in Ogdensburg is using the latest digital technology to reproduce one of Remington&apos;s first and most popular sculptures, The Bronco Buster.   Original sculptures, cast in multiples, were made and sold during Remington&apos;s lifetime.  The museum is using an original casting in its collection as a model for a series of 3-D laser-scanned copies.  Todd Moe visited the Remington Museum for a chat with curator Laura Foster and executive director Ed Lavarnway about using computers and high tech cameras to create hyper-accurate reproductions of Remington&apos;s art.

The annual commemoration of the French and Indian War featured battle re-enactments on land and water, a bateau race and a colonial trade fair. That’s where Todd found two Ontario women hunched over a loom and serious about an 18th century technique known as “whole cloth quilting,” where the quilting itself is the decoration. They are today’s “Heard Up North.&quot; [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20185/20120727/heard-up-north-sisters-of-perpetual-needling">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>
