<title>Keeping a movie theater quaint, and open</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20257/20120808/keeping-a-movie-theater-quaint-and-open</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Aug 8, 2012) A South Glens Falls man opened a small movie theater earlier this summer and says he’s not worried about the film industry’s decision to switch distributing first run features from film to digital.   Jerry Aratare says his single-screen Cinematheque shows foreign and first-run movies, though usually a couple of weeks later than the larger movie theaters.   The 82-year-old Aratare got his first movie theater job as a projectionist in 1951 in Vermont.  He’s opened about a dozen small theaters in the region over the years.  He told Todd Moe that his newest theater has 66 seats, a decades-old projector he’s dubbed “the old workhorse”, and a “hometown” atmosphere.

<title>Heard up North: Drowned Cities</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/8072/20061002/heard-up-north-drowned-cities</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Oct 2, 2006) The St Lawrence River Power Project forever changed the landscape of the North Country. The hydro power dams erected almost 50 years ago expanded the Seaway, flooding 100 square miles of land on both sides of the river. St Lawrence County leaders who now argue for cheap power to stay here in the North Country say the state should remember that sacrifice.Most of the flooding was on the Canadian side; we’ll hear about the ’10 lost villages’ in a moment. On the American side, parts of Waddington and Massena were flooded, and hundreds of farmhouses along the old Route 37 were moved. Dale Hobson was an eyewitness. He spoke with Gregory Warner.
