<title>Seaway digs out from recession</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21274/20130117/seaway-digs-out-from-recession</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 17, 2013) The St. Lawrence Seaway, and its commerce between Great Lakes ports and countries around the world, got hammered by the recession.Craig Middlebrooks, acting administrator for the U.S. side of the binational waterway, says the steep drop was between 2008 and 2009. &quot;It was almost a 25 percent drop. And I think &apos;09 tonnage was among the lowest for decades.&quot;Middlebrooks says the Seaway&apos;s been creeping back to pre-recession levels since then. Last year helped. Tonnage rose almost four percent, driven by coal and iron ore exports to China and Europe and U.S. steel imports. Industrial wind components also continue to be strong.

<description><![CDATA[ (Apr 20, 2012) The Ottawa Valley Farm Show recently marked its 85th year with a three-day run at the new CE Centre next to Ottawa&apos;s main airport. This event started as a seed fair in Pembroke and grew into the largest farm show in Eastern Ontario. As you&apos;d expect, a lot of the space is devoted to pitching shiny new machinery. Lucy Martin stopped at  the Hakmet display to ask vendor Jeff Lancaster how these big shows work from his side of the booth.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17940/20110718/top-seaway-administrator-says-ship-traffic-up-improvements-coming</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 18, 2011) The St. Lawrence Seaway is one of the biggest shipping channels in the world, stretching from the Atlantic to Lake Ontario. In recent years, the system of locks and channels has struggled to build traffic and attract companies interested in shipping cargos through to the Great Lakes.This year, the Saint Lawrence Seaway Development Corporation, which operates the US side of the channel,is requesting $34 million dollars in appropriations from Congress. The money will go to operate the locks in Massena, and it will be used to fund upgrades to the system.Brian Mann spoke with Collister Johnson, who heads the Development Corporation. He says traffic on the Seaway is rebounding.
