Rep. William L. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, is supporting a long-term reauthorization of the Northern Border Regional Commission that provides federal support for economically distressed communities in the Northeast.
Without congressional action, the NBRCs authorization will expire at the end of fiscal year 2013.
Mr. Owens is co-sponsoring legislation that would extend the authorization for the NBRC for an additional five years.
The reauthorization would include $30 million annually. That would be a continuation of the funding authorization the NBRC has had since its creation in 2008.
The NBRC has supported various projects across the north country, including $125,500 to the Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena to construct a rail spur on the CSX St. Lawrence Subdivision and $158,120 to the Wild Center in Tupper Lake.
The northern Border Regional Commission supports New York communities and it is important that we continue this momentum moving forward, Mr. Owens said in a press release.

Three men were taken into custody after a brief search and some attempt at 'slight of hand' with their getaway vehicle. The incident started late in the afternoon with a theft from the Sears store in Boone Mall. Boone Police were given a description
of the suspects and the black Toyota they fled in, but at their next stop, they were seen pulling their South Carolina tag off of the Toyota and replacing it with another. Then they fled toward Blowing Rock, but with Watauga Sheriff's deputies on their trail, they doubled back into Boone, only to be caught on College Place in town. Warrants were checked for the trio, and some outstanding warrants were found on at least one of the suspects. The suspects grabbed two chainsaws and ran from the store to a waiting vehicle. The vehicle was located a short time later in the Leola Drive area and stopped by Boone officers.
As a result of this incident, the following subjects were charged with various offenses.
Luis Alberto Rodriguez, 27 years old
2564 Shadowbrook Dr, Lot 50
Lenoir, North Carolina 28645
Charges: Misdemeanor Larceny and a stop sign violation
Bond Amount: $1,000
Johnny Mack Arnette, Jr, 46 years old
2150 Triplett Rd
Granite Falls, North Carolina 28630
Charges: Misdemeanor Larceny and nine outstanding warrants from other agencies were served
Bond Amount: $3,500
William Dennis Robertson, 57 years old
311 10th Street
North Wilkesboro, North Carolina 28659
Charge: Misdemeanor Larceny
Bond Amount: $1,000
All three subjects have an October 16, 2012, court date in Watauga County District Court.
The SC tag was recovered at the Blowing Rock Road fast food restaurant.

CANTON Dennis C. Barr is preserving Cantons history one image at a time.
The lifelong resident has spent hours creating high-quality, detailed photographs from hundreds of glass plates that were taken a century ago.
The glass plates were just sitting in file cabinet drawers, Canton Historian Linda A. Casserly said. Why should we have glass plates in drawers? My purpose is to let people know what an active, industrious place Canton was.
Taken between 1880 and 1930, the photographs depict houses, businesses, government buildings and other images that reflect daily life in the village and surrounding communities.
The glass plates were the precursor to plastic film negatives and show intricate detail. Its believed they were taken in the late 1800s and early 1900s by Benjamin M. Kip, a well-known Canton photographer.
The detail thats stored on there is awesome, Mr. Barr said. Restoring these old photos has really become my passion. He also has processed dozens of old negatives taken by Canton photographer Dwight P. Church in the 1950s.
A project that was funded jointly by the village and town boards has allowed Mrs. Casserly to enlarge, mat and frame the images. A dozen of them now hang in the boardroom at the municipal building. They will be rotated 12 photographs at a time about every two months. The collection is open for viewing during business hours and Tuesdays and Thursdays until 5:30 p.m.
Besides black and white, Mr. Barr, 57, has used Photoshop to add color to some of the old photographs, including the historic Canton town hall that burned in 1962. He also has improved old photos by covering up white spots and other markings.
The process involves placing the glass plates on top of a light board and photographing them with a digital camera. Next, he uses Photoshop to invert the image.
Hoping to create the best photograph possible, Mr. Barr said he may spend eight or more hours working on enhancements.
Mr. Barr is trying to expand his part-time business, Two Guys and a Camera, which he operates from his Pierrepont home. He works full time in the refrigeration and heating repair business but spends many hours with his photography equipment.
Mrs. Casserly said she would like to make other historians and municipalities aware of Mr. Barrs work so they will consider restoring old images of their communities.
Mr. Barrs work includes weddings, athletic teams, family portraits, natural landscapes, aerial views and interesting scenes from around the country.
Photographs, even old ones, can be reprinted in color, sepia or black and white. His website is http://twoguysandacamera.photoreflect.com.
Mrs. Casserly can be reached at email@example.com or by calling 386-1633.

Activity Type: Exploration Activity
- Print out the attached glasses template on some cardstock and follow the instructions to make frames. Alternatively, you can pop out the lenses of some old sunglasses and use those frames instead.
- Cut out new lenses from colored cellophane or colored light filters. The glasses will work better if you use at least three layers of colored cellophane to make each new lens. Blue, red, or green lenses will have the most dramatic impact on your perception.
- Tape your new lenses into your makeshift frames, being careful not to cover the lenses with tape.
- Put on your glasses and explore!
- Put on your new color-filtering glasses.
- Scroll down the page and record the number of circles you see in each image.
- Take off your glasses. How many circles can you see now? Which ones were difficult to see, and what do they have in common? How did background color influence your ability to see the circles?

title: Dissecting Stephen King
author: Heidi Strengell
format: PDF
language: english
University of Wisconsin Press
In a thoughtful, well-informed study exploring fiction from throughout Stephen King's immense oeuvre, Heidi Strengell shows how this popular writer enriches his unique brand of horror by building on the traditions of his literary heritage. Tapping into the wellsprings of the gothic to reveal contemporary phobias, King invokes the abnormal and repressed sexuality of the vampire, the hubris of Frankenstein, the split identity of the werewolf, the domestic melodrama of the ghost tale. Drawing on myths and fairy tales, he creates characters who, like the heroic Roland the Gunslinger and the villainous Randall Flagg, may either reinforce or subvert the reader's childlike faith in society. And in the manner of the naturalist tradition, he reinforces a tension between the free will of the individual and the daunting hand of fate. Ultimately, Strengell shows how King shatters our illusions of safety and control: "King places his decent and basically good characters at the mercy of indifferent forces, survival depending on their moral strength and the responsibility they may take for their fellow men."

MASSENA - While economic development officials would like input from all community members interested in revitalizing downtown Massena, theyre also hoping to see involvement from a more select group of skilled, motivated individuals who want to spearhead certain aspects of the revitalization effort.
The Business Development Corporation for a Greater Massena has set a third meeting for next week, at 3 p.m. Tuesday in the Massena Town Hall for individuals who may be interested in taking a lead role in one of six committees that will be a part of the Main Street revitalization project.
This is a broad effort to draw in people from a wide spectrum of the community, said Rick Hauser of InSite: Architecture, a consultant to the BDC. Its not a business group, not a owners group. Its really for everybody with an interest in revitalizing downtown.
The BDC has set two public meetings on utilizing $250,000 in grant funds, awarded by the New York State Main Street Grant Program, to improve the villages downtown corridor.
BDC Executive Director Michael Almasian urged any downtown business owners interested in applying for grant funding to revitalize their buildings to attend the meetings at 7 p.m. next Tuesday and Wednesday in the Massena Town Hall.
Were going to want to see as many people as possible. I hope everyone who will be there is willing to work to improve downtown Massena, Mr. Almasian said
The meeting Tuesday night has been described as more of an information-sharing session, and the Wednesday night meeting will focus primarily on forming the various committees required to identify how to use the funding. These committees are open to anyone in the community and will include a parking committee, a historic preservation committee, a code revision committee, a downtown theatre committee, a committee on forming a Main Street LLC and a committee for recruiting community members to take part in the revitalization effort.
In an ideal situation, BDC officials would like to see one or two individuals take a leadership role in each committee, and have the support of several committee volunteers who would contribute whatever they could to the committees purpose. The BDC would like to see these committee leaders at the Tuesday afternoon meeting.
That meeting is for individuals who would be really involved and motivated and who would want to take a leadership role, Mr. Almasian said. Its a higher level of involvement.
Mr. Almasian hopes the committee leaders have particular sets of skills or knowledge of the committee he or she is leading. For example, a person with background in construction, rental properties or code enforcement may be most qualified to lead the code revision committee, Mr. Almasian said.
He said the members of these committees will form a permanent group called the Massena Downtown Coalition. The coalition is the biggest umbrella group for anyone who has any interest in revitalizing downtown. Its the biggest of all the groups, Mr. Almasian said.
At a special meeting Thursday, BDC officials also discussed the possibility of hiring a consultant to help ensure projects are following the guidelines administered by the states Main Street Grant program. Mr. Almasian said the BDC should have already hired a consultant by this point, and he said the BDC is considering which individual to choose for the project.
They are valuable people to use. Thats why we had one for the last grant and thats why well have one for this gramt, Mr. Almasian said.
Mr. Almasian said the grant includes funding for a consultant, so the BDC would not have to hire one out of pocket. The grant has certain requirements that have to be met, such as the location of businesses that use grant funding, and a timeline for when grant-funded work can be done.
The program also requires all owners to match the funds the grant provides them. If all $250,000 of the funds were used, the Main Street grant would create a minimum of $500,000 in public-private investment.
But downtown Massena owners have pledged an additional $1,923,500 on top of the $250,000 grant, totaling $2,173,5000 in pledged investments, according to Massenas former economic development specialist, Jason A. Clark.
Mr. Almasian believes that money could help transform downtown Massena into a stronger and more attractive business district.
If 32 storefronts downtown get improved, thats going to go a long way toward improving Massena, Mr. Almasian said.
He expects most of the work related to the grant funding will take place in late summer or early autumn.

Horizon Mine is likely to contest some of the 34 citations for safety violations recently issued by the Mine Safety and Health Administration, a company spokeswoman said Wednesday.
Dodi Handy, speaking for mine owner America West Resources Inc., said that the hearings will be next year. Meanwhile, she added, the mine has gone 712 days as of Wednesday without a lost-time accident.
The citations arose from "blitz" inspections nationwide by MSHA in September. MSHA has conducted these sweeps as it has intensified its oversight since the disaster at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch Mine in April. An explosion at the West Virginia mine killed 29 miners.
Of the 34 violations cited, 14 of them were listed on MSHA's Impact Inspection List as "significant and substantial," meaning MSHA considers them capable of causing sickness or serious injury to miners. That is 41.2 percent of the total violations. Nationally, the average S&S rate among 15 mines cited was 44.5 percent.
The Horizon Mine is off Consumers Road about seven miles from the junction at US 6 in west Carbon County.
Horizon markets its coal for electric generation. It employees about 100 workers underground and on the surface. The mine uses the room and pillar method, where columns of coal - pillars - are left in place to support the mine roof.

Clipperblog is in Atlanta this weekend, to rejoin the Clippers at MSG in New York on Tuesday night, but has seen only a blip of the Clips-C's game from Boston on SportsCenter. John & Jeff will be bringing you recaps of last night and Sunday morning's game at T Dot.
Ric Bucher tackles the ultra-sensitive Shaun Livingston situation for ESPN The Magazine. Bucher takes a tack that most Naçion citizens can understand, namely that everyone loves the kid, believes that Shaun takes his preparation seriously, that he conducts himself the right way, and is almost uniquely coachable. And despite all that, he still isn't there. Here's one theory that Bucher puts forward:
Livingston's fear is that everyone will see him racking up stats and think it's all about the extension and the adulation. Or that even a hint of selfishness will prompt cold shoulders from his teammates. Or that he'll walk into the locker room one day and it'll be Richwoods High all over again, with sideways glances and newspaper stories about a hotshot who's all about himself.
The article offers some nice anecdotal morsels from Shaun's growing up -- which wasn't all that long ago --- and, at times, gets caught in some of that psychobabble that sports features tend to fall victim to when they're trying to sound heady. All in all, it's a good read.

(a) In general

Computer science is concerned with the study of computers and the science of computing
and algorithms. The disciplinary stamp of computer science at the University of Dallas
is that of the 2,500 year old discipline of mathematics, both theoretical and applied.
At UD, we believe that mathematics bears in its soul the imprint of all the human
disciplines. The University of Dallas is a place where the great ideas of western
civilization are studied and where subjects such as biology, art, and philosophy find
intellectual residence. Computer science as mathematics fits the mission and purpose
of the university.
In computer science, we study algorithms, programs and programming, and computational systems. The main goal of the discipline at UD is to build a systematic body of knowledge, theories and models that explains the properties of computational systems and to demonstrate how this body of knowledge can be used to produce solutions to real world problems. Computer science is the intellectual discipline widely accepted as the ascendant field of this century. Truly, computer science is a fitting discipline of study for a "Catholic university for independent thinkers."

BGA: The Expendables – Rookie Special
Bent , TheJetsBlog.com
Every year, teams have to let some players go. Even though the Jets brought back Sione Po'uha, Bryan Thomas and Nick Folk, they chose not to bring everyone back. Since preseason, I've been keeping track of the progress on the guys who left so we could at least start to form some views on whether letting any of these guys loose was a mistake or a smart move. If you missed any of these updates, go here, here, here and here.
By popular request, I'm now going to turn my attention to some of the players that the Jets could have had. Rather than being former Jets that were considered surplus to requirements, these are guys that the Jets could have signed or drafted during the offseason, but chose to go in another direction.
After the jump, all of the details from the 2012 season for each of the potential Jets draft picks contributing elsewhere. There will be another update next week, featuring players who were targeted in free agency but not signed.
Before we start, we must make the obvious disclaimer that one season is far too early to assess the value of a player selected in the NFL draft. For example, who would have guessed 12 months ago that the Bilal Powell would look much, much better than the John Conner pick when 2013 rolled around? However, it does give us some idea of their short term contributions and overall potential.
I have based the selection of these players on who TJB readers were calling for at the time the picks were made…
Bruce Irvin, DE, Seattle
The Jets would have had to trade ahead of Seattle if they wanted to get him with their first pick. Irvin came out of the blocks fast, with 4.5 sacks and 12 pressures in the first five games, but his production slowed over the second half of the season. He still finished up with 8.0 sacks, 12 QB hits and one forced fumble, but struggled all season against the run with just nine solo tackles and two missed tackles and was used mostly as a pass rusher (74% of the time) as a result. It seemed like he hit a wall after the bye week, with just one sack in six games, although he did have a sack in the wildcard game. His performance against the Falcons this week was his lowest graded of the year by some margin though. Still, he is already an effective situational player and shows signs of being a great pick if he can improve against the run.
Melvin Ingram, OLB, San Diego
On the face of it, Ingram had a much less productive season than Quinton Coples, who was selected just ahead of him. He ended up with just 1.0 sacks and one forced fumble. However, he was pretty effective at generating constant pressure from the outside linebacker position, as he backed up veterans Jarrett Johnson and Shaun Phillips. Ingram had at least two pressures in 11 of the 16 games, despite the fact he played less than 50% of the time in all but two. Unlike Irvin, he wasn't just used situationally, rushing the passer less than 60% of the time. As a result, he graded out okay against the run (25 tackles), although he did also miss seven tackles. It's early, but Ingram is a more complete player than Irvin at this stage of their respective careers. However, Irvin's speciality far outweighs any strengths Ingram has.
Chandler Jones, DE, New England
Jones, who went three picks after Ingram, was looking like a shoo-in for defensive rookie of the year after the first half of the season, but started to struggle with the rigors of NFL life following the bye week. Jones had six sacks and eight QB hits over the first half of the season, but no sacks and just one QB hit in the second half. He also had no pressures in the first playoff game this week. He did miss some time with injuries, but still played over 280 snaps after the bye, 48 more than Coples (who had four sacks and six QB hits over the same timespan). Jones did a good job against the run, with 34 tackles and only three missed tackles, although he did play over 200 more snaps than both Irvin and Ingram. It will be interesting to see whether the league has Jones figured out or if he can put together a full season like his first half of this year by remaining healthy.
David DeCastro, OL, Pittsburgh
Had the Jets decided to go in another direction with their first pick, David DeCastro was considered by many to be the safest pick in the draft and was also reportedly someone in whom the Jets had interest. Unfortunately, he got injured in preseason and didn't play until week 15 as a result, so it's a bit difficult to assess his performance. In his first game, he graded out well against Dallas, but did get beaten for a sack. In his second game, he graded out poorly in the running game and also gave up two sacks and three pressures against the Bengals. He only played 11 snaps in the season finale. It's going to be tricky to judge how good DeCastro is anyway because the Steelers linemen perhaps grade out worse than they would on another team by virtue of the fact that Ben Roethlisberger is more likely to make a throw under pressure than get rid of the ball early to avoid it. His first step will be to remain healthy.
Whitney Mercilus, OLB, Houston
One other option available to the Jets was perhaps to trade down several spots and still get a pass rusher like Whitney Mercilus, who went 26th. On the face of it, Mercilus was a much better pick than Ingram because he had six sacks. However, Ingram actually generated pressure at a much better rate and had more of an impact against the run. Mercilus had a tendency to grade out poorly in those games where he got significant playing time, so he might be better suited to a situational or rotational role at this stage of his career. His pressures had a tendency to come in bunches too – he had zero pressures in eight of the 16 games. Six sacks is nothing to be sniffed at though, especially for a Jets team that struggled to get any pass rushing production from their outside linebackers in 2012.
Ruben Randle, WR, NY Giants
Randle is a guy the Jets could have taken at wide receiver instead of Stephen Hill, perhaps removing the need to trade up. He went late in the 2nd round, with the 63rd pick. Randle's final numbers were 298 yards and three touchdowns on 19 catches. However, entering the ultimately meaningless last game of the year against the Eagles, he had just one TD catch and a catch rate of just 54%. Still, he showed promise against the disappointing Eagles, by catching all four targets for 58 yards and two scores. Randle's 15.7 yards per catch average is impressive and boosted by him making four catches of over 35 yards, as he had an impressive five catches on seven attempts on balls thrown over 20 yards down the field. He also had only one drop. Randle had six catches for 82 yards against the Browns in week five, but other than that didn't catch more than two passes in a game until the final week. He ended up being more productive than Hill on both a per-snap and a per-target basis, although it's pretty obvious that was influenced by who was throwing each of them the ball.
Bobby Massie, OT, Arizona
Another guy Jets fans were crying out for in the third round was Bobby Massie. Massie got off to a horrendous start, giving up an unbelievable 13 sacks in the first half of the season, despite the fact that the Cardinals were giving him plenty of help. However, in the blink of an eye, he managed to turn things around and put together an extremely solid second half of the season. He didn't give up another sack and was only penalized once in the second half of the year. He's not yet an impact run blocker, but if he can play like he did after the bye, he'll solidify himself as a good NFL starter. You have to wonder whether he would have been given the chance to turn things around by Jets fans though had the same situation arisen with him starting here and getting off to a slow start.
Lamar Miller, RB, Miami
Another position some Jets fans wanted addressed with the third round pick which ultimately netted the Jets Demario Davis was running back, with Lamar Miller high on many people's wish lists. In limited action, Miller ran for 250 yards on 51 carries, an average of just under five per carry, not bad for a change of pace back. He broke runs of 19, 22 and 28 yards. Miller also caught six passes for 45 yards but had one drop. If he could pass protect a little better, Miami might have given him a bit more playing time, but they clearly didn't trust him in that role, as he did it less than once per game until the last game of the season. He did only give up one pressure in pass protection though.
James Hanna, TE, Dallas
Hanna was a guy who was considered pretty good value in the 6th round, but actually went one pick ahead of the Jets fourth pick, DB Josh Bush. If they wanted to move up, they'd likely have had to surrender a 2013 pick to do so. Hanna didn't play much for the Cowboys, but caught eight passes for 86 yards on 11 targets.
Ryan Lindley, QB, Arizona
Lindley was considered by many to be the best quarterback on the board at the time. He actually went one pick before Hanna, so again the Jets would have had to move up to get him. As Jets fans will recall from the 7-6 win late in the season, Lindley was totally out of his depth as a rookie, but maybe he has some potential that will be realized in the years to come.
Alfonzo Dennard, CB, New England
Dennard was a good value pick that the Jets could perhaps have taken with one of their sixth round compensatory picks. Instead they went with the Baylor duo of Terrance Ganaway and Robert T. Griffin, neither of whom made the team. Dennard has managed to win a starting job in New England with Devin McCourty moving to safety. He started seven games during the regular season and allowed a completion percentage of just 52.5% when targeted and just 2.6 yards after the catch per reception. However, he did get beaten for five touchdowns. The Jets actually have pretty good depth at cornerback, so it's not certain that he'd have helped them much this year, even with the injury to Darelle Revis.
Cam Johnson, OLB, San Francisco
The former Virginia DE was another value pick in the seventh round. The Jets didn't have a seventh rounder until right at the end of the round where they had two compensatory picks (which, remember, cannot be traded). With the 49ers' defensive depth, it's hardly surprising that Johnson didn't play much this year. He saw action on just 11 defensive snaps.
Trevin Wade, CB, Cleveland
Wade is another guy that could have been good value at the end of the seventh round. The Jets could have taken him instead of Antonio Allen or Jordan White. Wade played 201 snaps as a slot corner, but 172 of these were concentrated within four games. He was targeted 10 times, giving up six catches for 115 yards, but was beaten for touchdowns of 28 and 50 yards.
Vontaze Burfict, LB, Cincinnati
Burfict is a guy many Jets fans were calling for late in the draft. Once considered a good prospect, Burfict went undrafted mainly due to character concerns. He exceeded everyone's expectations by starting 14 games and racking up over 100 tackles. He wasn't very productive as a blitzer and did miss seven tackles and commit five penalties, but played almost 1,000 snaps on a defense that was good enough to reach the postseason. Often players that drop off everyone's board in this fashion don't tend to pan out, but on this occasion, Burfict has been good value. It will be interesting to see how high his ceiling is, though.
James Brown, OL, Chicago
Brown, another undrafted free agent, finally got to see some action on the Bears' struggling line late in the season. He made three starts, including one game where he gave up two sacks, struggled in the running game and committed a penalty, but did much better over his last two games and will look to build on that next year.
Lucas Nix, OL, Pittsburgh
Nix was also seen as good potential value at the back end of the draft but went undrafted. He did not play on offense until the final week, when he played 27 snaps against the Chargers and actually graded out well. He's another player who we'll get a much better idea about next year.
Chris Polk, RB, Philadelphia
Another undrafted player thought to have good value was Chris Polk. He didn't get to play on offense at all, but did appear in a few games on special teams.
I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions about whether the guys highlighted above would have been better choices than the players the Jets took. See you in a few days with an update on players the Jets were linked with in free agency but did not sign…

Earl Scruggs
Michael Buckner/Getty Images
Earl Scruggs, 1924-2012
Earl Scruggs, the bluegrass banjo player whose hard-driving picking style influenced a generation of players and helped shape the sound of 20th-century country music, died on March 28, 2012 in Nashville. He was 88.
His son Gary said his father died at a hospital of natural causes.
Mr. Scruggs was probably best known for performing alongside the guitar-playing Lester Flatt with the Foggy Mountain Boys. Among their signature songs were "Foggy Mountain Breakdown," which was used as the getaway music in the 1967 film "Bonnie and Clyde," and "The Ballad of Jed Clampett," the theme song of the 1960s television sitcom "The Beverly Hillbillies."
Mr. Scruggs began developing his picking style at an early age. Born on a North Carolina farm to a large family of musicians, he took up the banjo at age 4, about the time his father, who also played the banjo, died. He also learned to play guitar, modeling his style after Mother Maybelle Carter of the Carter Family.
With little else to do but chores on a Depression-era farm, he became obsessed with the banjo. He depended mainly on a two-fingered picking style until he was about 10. Then one day, alone in his bedroom and brooding about an argument he had just had with an older brother, he found himself picking a song called "Lonesome Reuben" (or "Reuben's Train") using three fingers instead of two — the thumb, index and middle finger. It was a style, indigenous to North Carolina, that he had been trying to learn.
By tuning his banjo in different keys, he found he could play any tune, but the notes sounded undifferentiated at first. "I can't hear the melody," his mother would tell him, he said. So he learned to emphasize melody by plucking it with his strong thumb in syncopation with harmonic notes picked with his first two fingers. The sound was like thumbtacks plinking rhythmically on a tin roof.
The technique lent a harder edge to the bluegrass sound — named after Bill Monroe's band, the Blue Grass Boys — which Jon Pareles, writing in The New York Times, characterized as "a fusion of American music: gospel harmony and Celtic fiddling, blues and folk songs, Tin Pan Alley pop and jazz-tinged improvisations."
Earl Eugene Scruggs was born on Jan. 6, 1924, in Flint Hill, near Shelby, N.C., to George Elam Scruggs, a farmer and bookkeeper, and the former Georgia Lula Ruppe, who played the pump organ in church. He attended high school in Boiling Springs, N.C.

POTSDAM A former Potsdam resident who was jogginglast week in Hannawa Falls died as a result of an undiagnosed heart ailment.
Kathryn A. Sloan McCourt, 42, Massachusetts, was found on the side of the road Wednesday evening by a passer-by after she collapsed while jogging along Postwood Road, according to state police who responded to the call.
Mrs. McCourt and her family were in the area to visit her parents, William N. and Armande C. Sloan.
St. Lawrence County Coroner June H. Wood, Potsdam, who assisted in the autopsy of Mrs. McCourt, said she died of natural causes. The athletic mother of three had a heart disease that was undetected prior to her death, Ms. Wood said.
That probably caused an arrhythmia, Ms. Wood said, referring to a problem with the rate or rhythm of Mrs. McCourts heartbeat. Its very, very sad. She had three small children.
Mrs. McCourt was taken to Canton-Potsdam Hospital and pronounced dead at 8:07 p.m. Wednesday.
Mrs. McCourt graduated in 1989 from Potsdam Central School, where she was heavily involved in sports. She was goalie for the state champion midget girls hockey team and was named Top Stoners Athlete of the Year in 1989.
Continuing her athletic achievements at Providence College in Rhode Island, Mrs. McCourt excelled as an all-star goalie and helped lead Providence to a national championship in NCAA womens hockey in 1993, the year she graduated.
She was a manager of talent acquisition and deployment in Rockland, Mass., at EMD Serono, a biopharmaceutical subsidiary of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany.
Besides her parents, she is survived by her husband, Sean P. McCourt, children Jack W., 5, Claire S., 2, and Will J., 3 months, and five siblings.

CLEVELAND -- We're mostly honest folks here in Cleveland and that's no lie.
In the first-ever National Honesty Index social experiment, Honest Tea set up more than 50 unmanned pop-up kiosks in more than 30 cities across the country -- including one at Cleveland's Public Square.
Each location featured tea for $1 per bottle with payment based on the honor system by asking customers to slide their cash into a clear box.
The outcomes from the social experiment, which took place between August 8 and August 19, were recorded and the data was collected to determine who is the most honest.
When it came to Cleveland, here's how it broke down:
- Overall, Cleveland was 93 percent honest.
- People with kids were 100 percent honest.
- Women were 98 percent honest.
- Men were 87 percent honest.
- Brunettes were not as honest as blondes or redheads.
Cincinnati, the only other Ohio city tested, was more honest than Cleveland at 95 percent overall. Also in Cincinnati, more men were honest than women, bald folks were more honest than those with gray hair, blondes were 95 percent honest and brunettes topped that at 97 percent.
Nationwide, the Honest Tea test showed Americans were 93 percent honest. Salt Lake City and Oakland were the most honest cities at 100 percent. Women were overall 95 percent honest, men 91 percent. Red Sox fans were more honest than Yankees fans.
The least-honest overall city was Los Angeles at 78 percent. In New York, the least-honest borough was Brooklyn.
Click here to see an interactive map connected to the honesty test.
Honest Tea will match the money collected and donate it to City Year, an AmeriCorps program that unites young people of all backgrounds for a year of full-time service. The goal of the nonprofit is to build community by helping to turn around high-need schools and get at-risk students back on track.

A local father can't stand the thought of children in the community not having the opportunity to celebrate Valentine's Day. He posted this message on Facebook on Tuesday, "In light of the recent developments, with the uncaring announcement by 4J and their belief that the reason for banning Valentine's Day at McCornack Elementary is that the treats are unhealthy and it may clash with someone's religious beliefs (because as we all know "loving thy neighbor" is highly contestable - we are talking about Valentine's Day people). I feel that it will be my pleasure to be there in passion red to wish those children a Happy Valentine's Day.... If you feel so inclined to support my efforts to right this wrong (and it IS a wrong) come and stand with me Thursday afternoon and deliver love. Share this with others if you wish."
Keven will be dressed as "Captain Valentine" and will be waiting for the children to get out of school at McCornack Elementary school at 2:15pm.

I'm a 2 year vegetarian & I plan on keeping it that way. I am a cannabis enthusiast, a musician, & a revolutionist. Thank you. ;)
Words of a Stranger
Hi, I'm Nina. :)
Hi I'm Danielle O'Shaunessy. I was born in California. I live in the desert. I have a brother named Anthony. I have 3 cats and 1 dog. I like soda. I've been vegetarian for 4 years. I'm a member of: WWF, PETA, ASPCA, SPCA, UAN, DVM, National Wildlife Foundation, and Humane Society. I like to play soccer. I like Gymnastics, and I loovvvvee animals! :D You can also find me on facebook!
I went Vegan when I was 9, and now i'm 13 I love animals and when I learned about how they treated about those animals i was sad, I love animals and the terrible things happening need to stop. I love tea, acting, field hockey and singing.
My whole life has revolved around my love for animals. I became vegetarian when I was 7 years old. I hope to change the world someday.
Let me just start out by saying, I'm not perfect, But sometimes I try to be. I've made mistakes. I've taken the easy way out. I've lied to my friends. I've hidden the truth so many times from so many people. I've hurt people, and I've even done it on purpose. I've left people behind. I've spread rumors. I've said things that I didn't mean. I'm no better than anyone, anywhere. I'm human. I have faults, and I'm not afraid to admit that. I want to change, but I can't. Because that's what we do. That's what we've always done. We list our faults like a grocery list, and we move on, expecting everything to somehow change itself. It never will. I will never change. I will never be perfect. I will always make mistakes. I'll, more often than not, take the easy way out. I will lie, hide the truth, hurt people, leave people behind, spread rumors, and say things I don't mean for the rest of my life. But when you come to accept the fact that you do it too, we can see past it all.
