<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/21911/20130503/can-the-north-country-make-nursing-homes-work</link>

That&apos;s sparked a dialogue in the last few months among the region&apos;s long-term care leaders about ways they can partner, share services or even consolidate under one organization. Leaders of at least eight to 10 of the region&apos;s nursing homes have been involved in these talks. Some long-term care advocates believe North Country nursing homes are at a tipping point.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20587/20121002/adirondack-attic-remembering-ton-da-lay</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 2, 2012) Andy Flynn visited the Adirondack Museum to look at architectural drawings for Ton-Da-Lay, a development in the town of Altamont, now Tupper Lake, that was proposed in the 1970s. It called for creating 4,000 lots on 18,500 acres of property in the northern part of the town, with a goal of attracting 20,000 people. That&apos;s four times the population of the villages of Tupper Lake or Saranac Lake. The proposal was approved by the town, but rejected by the state.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 25, 2011) Tupper Lake village mayor Mickey Desmarais says he won&apos;t seek another term and is bowing out of the mayor&apos;s race. In an interview with the Tupper Lake Free Press, Desmarais said the criticism that he has received over his handling of the Adirondack Club and Resort project has put strain on his family. &quot;It doesn&apos;t bother me, but it hurts them,&quot; Desmarais told the newspaper.Desmarais has continued to raise questions about the proposed resort, its impact on the local economy and plans for the Big Tupper Ski resort. The mayor had faced growing criticism from his opponent in the race, Republican Paul Maroun, who argued that village leaders should strongly back the project.Speaking with WNBZ radio, Maroun said the community&apos;s mayor should be &quot;110% behind the resort.&quot;  According to Maroun, environmental groups are &quot;still out there right now lobbying in Albany to kill this project.&quot;The Adirondack Club and Resort project is expected to face a vote by the Adirondack Park Agency in January.
