<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/18354/20110906/remembering-the-september-11-attack-through-art</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Sep 6, 2011) Many communities will take some time on Sunday to pause and remember the September 11th, 2001 terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington DC and rural Pennsylvania.  A sculpture that uses twisted metal beams from the World Trade Center will be unveiled Sunday in the Saratoga county hamlet of Gansevoort. It&apos;s titled, Tempered by Memory, and artists Noah Savett and John Van Alstine are disappointed that plans to place the sculpture permanently in Saratoga Springs are on hold.  But they&apos;re optimistic.  A toned-down unveiling of their sculpture will be held at the NS Associates steel yard on Pettis Road in Gansevoort at noon on Sunday, the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks.Todd Moe spoke with artist John Van Alstine, who lives in the southern Adirondacks.   He says using the resurrected steel for art, and trying to please everyone, were challenges.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/3494/20031002/quot-high-steel-quot-prowess-at-ironworker-festival</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 2, 2003) For generations, Mohawks and other Native Americans have built the world&apos;s most famous buildings and bridges, including the Empire State Building and the World Trade Center.  They work the &quot;high steel,&quot; a dangerous profession practiced hundreds of feet above the ground.  The skill and craft of ironworking took center stage last month near Syracuse in a sort of ironworker olympics.  Ironworkers competed in events like knot-tying, wrench throwing, and the 30-foot column climb.  David Sommerstein reports.
