<title>Olympic athletes lobby for ORDA Funding</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15437/20100329/olympic-athletes-lobby-for-orda-funding</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 29, 2010) The only firm plan on today&apos;s agenda at the state Legislature is for the Senate to give final approval of Gov. David Paterson&apos;s emergency bare-bones budget plan. The budget is supposed to be in place by April 1, but lawmakers plan to take their Passover-Easter break this week. They’re wrangling over a spending plan that includes some of the deepest cuts ever in school aid and other areas to contend with the state&apos;s fiscal crisis. The latest competing proposals are $1 billion apart. The state&apos;s fiscal health is in the balance. So are facilities and services considered vital to communities across the North Country: from parks to prisons, to ski hills.Friday, local athletes just back from competing in the Vancouver Olympics were in Albany fighting for Lake Placid&apos;s Olympic venues. Chris Knight reports. [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15437/20100329/olympic-athletes-lobby-for-orda-funding">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 22, 2010) Many of the nation&apos;s top alpine skiers, including more than a dozen Olympians, are in the North Country to compete in the 2010 U.S. Alpine Championships at Whiteface Mountain, which got underway Saturday and continue today. The roster of athletes includes Julia Mancuso, who won two silver medals at the Vancouver Winter Games, and 2006 Olympic gold medalist Ted Ligety. But before they took to the slopes of Whiteface, a half-dozen members of the U.S. Alpine Ski Team visited Mount Pisgah, a small ski hill run by the Village of Saranac Lake, to ski with area kids and help raise funds for a new lift at the ski center. Chris Knight reports. [<strong><a href="http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15405/20100322/olympians-rally-for-local-ski-hill">full story</a></strong>]]]></description>

<title>A look back at the Olympics</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15344/20100309/a-look-back-at-the-olympics</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 9, 2010) Lake Placid-based photographer Nancie Battaglia was NCPR’s eyes, and ears, during the Vancouver Olympic games. Battaglia came to Lake Placid to document the 1980 Winter Olympics, and she’s is now an experienced Olympic “regular.” Vancouver was her eighth games, seventh winter games.  She shoots for a number of publications, including Sport Illustrated. This year she not only sent us great shots of local athletes at the games, she found their families and fans, too, and checked in on-air during breaks in the action. Martha Foley called her for a final conversation this week. She’s been back for about a week, catching up, catching her breath. She left early on the final Sunday – missing the climactic US Canada hockey game, but also ahead of the crowds that jammed the region’s airports that night and the next day.

<description><![CDATA[ (Mar 8, 2010) A huge crowd turned out Friday afternoon in Saranac Lake for a parade through the village&apos;s downtown to honor the North Country athletes who competed at the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. Organized by the Olympic Regional Development Authority, the Women&apos;s Civic Chamber and the Saranac Lake Area Chamber of Commerce, the event brought together eight local Olympians, led by nordic combined gold and silver medalist Bill Demong of Vermontville. As Chris Knight reports, the parade was just as important to the athletes as it was to the local residents who cheered them on in Vancouver.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 26, 2010) While North Country athletes competing at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver have been grabbing the headlines, and rightfully so, another group of local residents has been making a quieter contribution to the games. People from the Saranac Lake and Lake Placid area have been working at the Olympics, helping to run bobsled, luge and skeleton races, setting up interviews and photo shoots for athletes, organizing events for sponsors, and playing a host of other behind-the-scenes roles.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 19, 2010) The Winter Olympics in Vancouver are just about halfway done. There are just four medal events on the schedule today, and they&apos;re all being held at Whistler. First up is the men&apos;s Super G. Bode Miller will be looking for his second medal of these games. In cross-country skiing, the women compete in the 15 kilometer pursuit. Finally, at the Whistler Sliding Center, both the women and the men will complete the skeleton. Weather forecasts look good, if a tad warm. After a cold night, skies should be clear with highs in the low 40s.Overall, the US team is leading the medal count. Last night,  figure skater Evan Lysacek added to the gold medal count, the first American to win gold since Brian Boitano in 1988. We&apos;ve been following the dozen-plus North Country athletes in Vancouver, and they&apos;ve had their disappointments this week. Martha Foley has more.

Bailey, from Lake Placid, and Burke, from Paul Smiths, have been friends and training partners since they were little boys.  They raced together at the Torino Winter Games in 2006. Both men sat down with their former coach, Kris Cheney Seymour from Saranac Lake, to talk about their lives and their careers.  Their conversation, recorded in 2008 as part of the national StoryCorps project, offered an intimate and personal look at what it means to spend decades chasing an Olympic dream.

<title>Weekend weather side-swipes NC Olympians</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15233/20100215/weekend-weather-side-swipes-nc-olympians</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 15, 2010) In Olympic competition over the weekend, biathlon skiers Tim Burke from Paul Smiths and Lowell Bailey from Lake Placid were side-swiped by Vancouver’s nasty weather. On Sunday, race conditions for the ski-and-shoot-competition changed rapidly over the course of the 10k sprint, with rain and sleet turning to heavy snow. That gave athletes who raced earlier in the day a clear advantage, Burke said. He told the Philadelphia Inquirer, &quot;That was, by far, the most unfair race I&apos;ve ever been a part of.&quot; Burke finished 47th overall, with Bailey winding up in 36th place.  Meanwhile, Vermontville’s Bill Demong finished in sixth place over the weekend in the first Nordic combined competition of the Games.  Demong struggled in the jumping portion of the event, but was one of the top cross-country ski racers.  American Johnny Spillane finished second yesterday, giving the American team its first-ever Nordic combined medal. Bailey, Burke, Frenette, and Demong will have more chances to medal later in the Vancouver games. In Olympic jumping, meanwhile, Saranac Lake’s Peter Frenette finished in 41st place on the short hill.  Chris Mazdzer of Saranac Lake was 13th in men’s luge singles.

It will be the first time the ceremonies for a Winter Games will be held indoors.Outdoors, organizers are contending with un-winterlike weather. Fog forced the cancellation of downhill training in Whistler yesterday. Weeks of around-the-clock work and a small army of staff bringing in snow meant the courses were ready. But fog brought visibility down to about 100 yards. Lake Placid-based photographer Nancie Battaglia is in Vancouver for the Games.She came to Lake Placid to document the 1980 winter Olympics, and has been shooting Olympic pictures ever since.For the next two weeks, she’ll be checking in with North Country Public Radio about the games and the many athletes this region has sent to the 2010 games.Martha Foley caught up with Battaglia yesterday afternoon. She’d just come down from watching practice at the luge and bobsled track.

<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 5, 2010) Photographer Nancie Battaglia is familiar to most of us as a talented all-around photographer, with an eye for both people and landscape. Her photographs regularly appear in Adirondack Life and other publications – including NCPR’s book, Food, Stories, Life.

Battaglia will be checking in with North Country Public Radio from the Vancouver Games. Martha Foley spoke with her this morning.
