<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20433/20120907/rt-11-construction-gets-high-grades-in-canton-so-far</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 7, 2012) Workers are three months into what they call &quot;a total reconstruction&quot; of the village of Canton&apos;s Main Street.  One of the North Country&apos;s main east-west corridors, Route 11, is being detoured onto side streets.Downtown is hot, dusty, and congested.  And there&apos;s no shade because all the historic maple trees had to be torn down.Yet despite the inconvenience, the mess, and past run-ins with state transportation officials, residents and business owners are taking the disruption in stride.

<title>Taking the backyard garden to new heights</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17721/20110526/taking-the-backyard-garden-to-new-heights</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 26, 2011) A Potsdam couple is growing flowers and vegetables in a garden on the roof of a storage building on their property.  The thin-shelled concrete roof includes a thick layer of mulch that supports an ornamental and vegetable garden.  The funky Asian-style structure with its turf top looks like something from Hobbiton or Hogwarts.  The owners could have installed a garden plot in the nearby hayfield, but found the &quot;green&quot; roof an easier option.Deborah Massell and Jackson Francisco are offering tours, by reservation, of their rooftop garden on Saturday.   Todd Moe followed the couple up metal steps to the roof for a stroll through their garden-with-a-view.You can reserve a spot on the roof garden tour by calling 315-347-4223, or email: SustLivingProject@gmail.com [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17721/20110526/taking-the-backyard-garden-to-new-heights">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 16, 2005) A four-lane highway between Watertown and Plattsburgh is a part of a grand plan in Congress to connect northern New York with northern Maine.
