<description><![CDATA[ (May 18, 2012) The Vermont Air National Guard is proposing to start training flights over the Adirondacks and Watertown area with F-35 jets. The big, loud planes would replace the smaller, quieter F-16s the National Guard is using now —but not until at least 2015. The Guard is accepting public comments on the plan until June 1. It&apos;s held public hearings on the proposal in the Burlington area, and last night in Watertown. Joanna Richards reports.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15898/20100630/encouraging-words-for-saranac-lake-veterans-apos-center</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jun 30, 2010) The Department of Defense is focusing more attention on post traumatic stress disorder, estimating that over 300,000 veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan suffer from PTSD. Thousands of them are &quot;civilian soldiers&quot; — members of the Army Reserves and National Guard.The Department of Veterans Affairs says combat vets are more likely to commit crimes or suffer effects of psychological trauma. Military officials are actively looking for new ways to help them heal and rejoin civilian life.A group in Saranac Lake hopes Patriot Hills, a new vets&apos; center proposed for the village, will be a good fit. This week, they got some encouraging words from the Army national Guard&apos;s medical commander. Martha Foley has more.

<title>Maj. Gen. Taluto from Washington County drops bid to lead Army National Guard</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/15155/20100129/maj-gen-taluto-from-washington-county-drops-bid-to-lead-army-national-guard</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 29, 2010) A North Country officer chosen by the White House to head the Army National Guard has withdrawn his name from consideration.  Major General Joseph Taluto, who lives in Fort Ann, in Washington County, was chosen by President Obama to lead the Guard nationwide back in May of 2009.  But his nomination was held up by the controversy surrounding the murder of two of his officers during a deployment to Iraq in 2005. In a statement issued yesterday, Taluto said that the confirmation process had become a “distraction.”  He also announced that he will retire as head of New York state’s national guard, ending a 44-year career.  Brian Mann’s report on Taluto’s nomination first aired last May.
