Respecting Nature, and the nature of teaching on Mountain Lake Journal


The Wildlife Refuge and Rehabilitation Center is expanding its care for the animals, and its outreach to the public.  Guest host Paul Larson will take us on a tour of the Wilmington, New York center in on Mountain Lake Journal.

Viewers will see many animals who serve as education ambassadors, and the people who care for them.

The episode also features poet Garret Keizer, discussing the year he recently spent as a high school English teacher in rural Vermont, a period documented in his book Getting Schooled.  Keizer will also read from his book of poetry The World Pushes Back.   


Finally in the program, you can take a challenging but rewarding excursion to Israel, through the art on display at the Plattsburgh State Art Museum.  See the country through the eyes of some of its most prominent and provocative artists.

The “Visions of Place” exhibit will run through December 3rd at the Plattsburgh State Art Museum on the campus of SUNY Plattsburgh. Galleries in the John Myers Building are open daily from noon to 4pm.  

Mountain Lake Journal airs tonight at 7, and Sunday at 5:30am and 10aam.
