<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 6, 2010) An effort by North Country lawmakers to limit the enforcement power of the Adirondack Park Agency failed to pass the state Assembly last week. The bill which passed in the Senate would have placed a ten-year statute of limitations on environmental and zoning violations.  As Brian Mann reports, supporters of the change say they’ll bring it back next session.

<title>New APA regs:  Good government or power grab?</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15016/20100105/new-apa-regs-good-government-or-power-grab</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 5, 2010) Today in Ray Brook the Adirondack Park Agency begins a series of public hearings on new regulations for boathouses in the Park.  This latest round of rulemaking comes at a time when the APA has issued a series of new regulations affecting private land and development.  The rules govern everything from shoreline homes to hunting camps. Supporters say the APA is doing its job, fleshing out the guidelines that protect water quality and conserve open space.  But critics say state officials are steadily expanding their power over privately-owned land without authority from the legislature. Brian Mann has our story.

<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 15, 2006) A new education program will teach communities how to protect themselves from sex offenders. The St. Lawrence County Sex Offender Management Program is spearheading the effort, along with other county agencies. County Probation Director Francine Peretta says there’s no program so comprehensive in New York State. The “No More Victims” campaign will feature radio ads and billboards. Next month they’ll schedule community education meetings around the county. As Peretta told Gregory Warner, the goal is to root out some of the deep myths and fears around the subject.

<title>Shoreline Development Boom Within the Adirondack Park Prompts Zoning Debates</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/1747/20011129/shoreline-development-boom-within-the-adirondack-park-prompts-zoning-debates</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 29, 2001) One of the great myths of the Adirondack Park is that state zoning regulations restrict or at least shape most development on private land. In fact, much of the real estate boom of the last decade has taken place on shorelines. Thousands of homes have been built in lakefront areas that are largely exempt from Park Agency control. As Brian Mann reports, critics of the zoning plan say the result has been a disaster for lakes and ponds in the Adirondacks.
