Happy New Year everyone! News Director Terry Frank this week hosts Community Spotlight's annal "Year in Review" program... which highlights the Top 10 to 12 stories of the past 12 months. He begins with the 100th anniversary of Glenora Radio Network station WJTN-AM... which first went on the air on New Year's Eve of 1924 at the Grand Opening of the new Hotel Jamestown building. Archie Newton was the original owner, but, sold the station a few years later. Also highlight was the NYS Department of Corrections and Community Service -- or DOCCS strike -- by thousands of state corrections officers... which was resolved in mid-March. However... a couple of thousand did not return, or we fired. We also highlight crime stories -- including the death of Jamestown man shot and killed with a crossbow. Earlier in the year... there was the local trial of Hadi Matar... who tried to kill Author Salman Rushdie at Chautauqua Institution. Rushdie himself took the stand. We also highlight the officer-involved death of a Mina man during a confrontation with police... the reopening of Fredonia's historic White Inn. Our top story is issues surrounding Chautauqua Lake due to new state wetland regulations, a big problem with weeds during the boating season, and a change at the top of the Chautauqua Lake Association.
