<title>Historic Indian Lake Theater reopens</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/11500/20080530/historic-indian-lake-theater-reopens</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 30, 2008) Earlier this year, Indian Lake residents banded together to save their historic theater in the middle of town.  It’s re-opening this weekend.  It could have been just another casualty of the North Country’s declining population and struggling economy. But a summer schedule of movies is planned, and it’s hoped the theater will once again be the center of Indian Lake’s artistic, cultural and community life.  Todd Moe spoke with Colleen Doyle,  the new director of the theater, as she took a break from some touch-up work on the theater’s stage.

<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/10294/20071113/preview-for-the-bible-tells-me-so</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 13, 2007) Filmmaker Daniel Karslake will be at St. Lawrence University today and tomorrow, for discussions and screenings of his award-winning documentary, For The Bible Tells Me So, which explores the rift between religion and homosexuality.   The film will be shown tonight and Wednesday night (7 pm) in the auditorium of Hepburn Hall, Room 218.  It’s free and open to the public.  Through the experiences of five families, including those of former House Majority Leader Dick Gephardt and Episcopalian Bishop Gene Robinson, the film portrays how some people of faith handle the realization of having a gay child.  Todd Moe talks with Karslake, who is gay, about making the film and whether he worries that some will see it as a form of activism.
