<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 7, 2012) In the year he turned 65 and was treated for prostrate cancer, Vermont writer Howard Frank Mosher took a summer to travel around the country for a book tour, driving his twenty-year-old Chevy Celebrity.  In 65 very short chapters, Mosher reflects on that trip and looks back to 1964, the first year he lived in Vermont&apos;s Northeast Kingdom.

<title>&quot;The People&apos;s voice&quot; CJHR celebrates Ottawa Valley Heritage</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19745/20120509/quot-the-people-apos-s-voice-quot-cjhr-celebrates-ottawa-valley-heritage</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 9, 2012) All sorts of radio stations these days are busy blending old content with modern technology. Staying relevant, while reaching out to new listeners. Take CJHR, a non-profit station in Renfrew, Ontario. “Valley Heritage Radio” serves up an eclectic mix for a mostly-rural audience. The format is at least half Canadian content, and about 20% of that is local. The station saves space for something called Ottawa Valley music, a country style influenced by Celtic and French roots, refined in lumber camps that once spanned the region. Lucy Martin dropped by the CJHR booth at the Ottawa Valley Farm Show in March to hear how they&apos;re making community radio happen.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/19531/20120322/1919-film-quot-treasures-of-the-far-fur-country-quot</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 22, 2012) In 1919, two intrepid cameramen left New York City to trek across the Canadian North. Traveling by foot, canoe, dog sled and icebreaker they filmed scenes from Hudson&apos;s Bay Company communities for that sponsor&apos;s upcoming 250th anniversary.  The finished two-hour movie was seen in Canada the following year. But once “talkies” took hold, interest in silent film faded. The original footage ended up tucked away in England, largely forgotten.A collaborative project has been working to recover the film&apos;s source material for Canadians and the world. Some of the best segments will be shown April 3rd in a screening booked at the Canadian Museum of Civilization. To learn more, Lucy Martin reached filmmaker and event organizer Kevin Nikkel in Winnipeg.

<title>Moving the World: Sharing a love of music in Cuba</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17081/20110202/moving-the-world-sharing-a-love-of-music-in-cuba</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 2, 2011) Although it’s just 90 miles from Florida, Cuba maintains closer diplomatic relations with Canada than the United States. Today, about half of Cuba&apos;s tourists are sun-starved Canadians.  Tomorrow, a group of Ontario musicians heads to the Caribbean. Members of the Manotick Brass Ensemble, in partnership with a local Cuban church, will visit Cuba for a series of free concerts. The Canadians are also donating musical instruments to a group of students in Cuba.Lucy Martin spoke with one of the group&apos;s founders about the trip. Kazimier Samujlo says Cubans don&apos;t need any help when it comes to making music. But, he says, between the U.S. trade embargo and Cuba&apos;s own economic woes, it’s tough to find decent band instruments.
