JEFFERSON -- This summer and fall, community businesses rallied to construct a basketball court for Jefferson's NFI, North Country Shelter (NCS). The shelter is a treatment program  for youth who have been placed by the court for getting into trouble or because of family issues and they need a safe place to live.

Keeping them active helps kids to cope more appropriately with the issues they are facing.
