ELIZABETHTOWN Ñ A new website is promoting the trails, roads and parks in the North Country as a great place to Ò Get Out and Live.Ó The website, getoutandlivenorthcountry.org, was created by a partnership of organizations working to get more people walking and biking in the North Country. The group includes Creating Healthy Places, the North Country Healthy Heart Network, the St. Lawrence County Health Initiative and the Essex County Department of Public Health. Ò We are looking for people to go online and enter a story and a picture of themselves talking about why you like
throughout the Adirondacks is something that can be a solo adventure or a family affair. Ò This is something fun to do with the family, taking a walk in the woods, going on a hike or a family bike ride and having those family experiences locally in the North Country,Ó she said. Buehler also said the department had a new tool in helping people find recreation areas throughout the park in the form of a map created with the help of local author Sheri Amsel. Ò People really like the map and the places they are able to find with it,Ó she said. For more information, visit the website getoutandlivenorthcountry.org or co.essex.ny.us/EssexCountyPublicHealth.

Ò We are also encouraging the maintenance of infrastructure that will help people get out and walk and bike in the region.Ó Buehler said the media campaign can be found online, whether at their website, Facebook page or Twitter account. Ò We have done a lot of work on policy and this media campaign is the next step,Ó Buehler said. Ò It is a new direction for us, but we are in the final year-and-a-half of our five year contract with the Creating Healthy Places program and it is time to look more at the media aspect and getting the word out.Ó Buehler said walking and biking

Ò We want to invite local business owners, politicians and people from the community to come out and support the carousel,Ó Hameline said. Ò Everyone who participates in the Ride-A-Thon will be interviewed by Paul as they take their ride.Ó Hameline said the carousel does 10 revolutions per ride. Donors, she said, will sponsor a revolution. Participants of the Ride-A-Thon will ride for free. Ride-AThon riders can pick up a sponsor sheet, get friends, family and colleagues to sponsor them as they ride the carousel as many times as they can, while being interviewed by Varga.
