POTSDAM -- Marie Regan, Town of Potsdam Supervisor, is this week’s guest on North Country Matters, the local public affairs video magazine produced by WCKN.

She and NCM host Donna Seymour discusses the town budget, road and bridge repair, a Community Block Grant to rehabilitate sub-standard housing, and the status of the town-village recreation program.

That show airs at 7:30 pm on Monday, Nov. 10 and Tuesday, Nov. 11.

The second show airing at 8 p.m. on both nights features Heather Sullivan-Catlin who was the lead researcher and author of St. Lawrence County Community Food Security Assessment done in partnership with GardenShare.

The report looks into the extent of hunger in our county, barriers to food access, and the resources available to residents in need. The YouTube link for this show is www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkJSAzXiuQI.

The NCM civic partners working to educate North Country residents about critical public policy issues facing our region include AAUW-St. Lawrence County, the League of Women Voters of St. Lawrence County, and Clarkson Media and Mass Communication students, who provide the technical expertise for the productions. The shows are filmed at the WCKN studio on the Clarkson campus.
