<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 22, 2012) In the final hours of the session yesterday, lawmakers in Albany pushed through two bills that would amend the state constitution for the Adirondack forest preserve. The bills will allow land swaps in Raquette Lake and Willsboro. As Brian Mann reports, green groups are supporting the Raquette Lake amendment.  However, they hope to derail a plan to expand a mining operation onto state Park land in Willsboro.

<title>Can Albany settle the century-old Raquette Lake land dispute?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19915/20120601/can-albany-settle-the-century-old-raquette-lake-land-dispute</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 1, 2012) This weekend in the Hamilton County community of Raquette Lake, landowners will gather to hear a proposal that could change New York state’s constitution.For generations, their community has been in conflict with the state over land claims affecting more than 200 parcels.  Locals and seasonal residents say the property is privately owned.  But state officials, and some environmental groups, have argued that much of the land is actually part of the state forest preserve and should be kept “forever wild.”As Brian Mann reports, this is the latest effort to sort out one of the Adirondack Park’s oldest and thorniest disputes.

<title>More thoughts about 19th century life on Raquette Lake</title>
<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.
