<title>Assemblywoman Sayward: conservative Republican, unlikely gay rights activist</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/14836/20091204/assemblywoman-sayward-conservative-republican-unlikely-gay-rights-activist</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Dec 4, 2009) This week, New York’s state Senate rejected a bill legalizing same-sex marriage.  The North Country’s three Senators, Darrel Aubertine, Betty Little and Joe Griffo all voted against the bill.  The vote was a blow to gay rights activists.  One of the most unlikely advocates for same-sex marriage is Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward.  Sayward is a former dairy farmer who lives in Willsboro.  She describes herself as a Roman Catholic and a conservative Republican.  But after wrestling with homosexuality in her own family, Sayward has become a national spokeswoman for what she views as marriage equality.  She has traveled to Florida and New Jersey to campaign for gay rights. Sayward spoke in depth with Brian Mann about her personal and political journey – and about this week’s vote.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 4, 2009) This summer, researchers are fanning out across the Northeast trying to get a clearer picture of what is happening to the region&apos;s bats.  Scientists say many bat colonies have been wiped out by a fungal disease, called white-nose syndrome, first detected in 2006. One of the big questions still unanswered is how white-nose syndrome is transmitted.  Brian Mann joined a team of biologists studying bats in an old church in Willsboro in the Champlain Valley.
