    Great Meadow closure, Plattsburgh investigation vote, "Miracle" screening, Potsdam fiddler
    Nov 7 2024
    (Nov 7, 2024) Local business owners and union leaders are worried about how the closure of Great Meadow Correctional Facility in Washington County will impact the economy and the prison's former employees; the City of Plattsburgh Common Council is set to vote tonight on whether to launch an investigation into claims of wrongdoing by city police and the mayor's office; we preview a screening of the film "Miracle," a Disney movie about the 1980 Olympic hockey team who defeated the Soviet Union and went on to win gold, at the Lake Placid Film Festival; and we listen back to a story on Gretchen Koehler, a Potsdam-based traditional fiddler who composed a series of fiddle tunes inspired by folk artists in the region. The album release party for her and pianist Daniel Kelly's "Fiddling with Traditions" will take place tonight at the Remington Museum in Ogdensburg.
