Rathbuns set for jewerly store retirement

By Keith Lobdell keith@denpubs.com

TICONDEROGA Ñ The backed up Ticonderoga municipal water project has been unclogged with developments over the past week, according to Supervisor Bill Grinnell. The Ticonderoga administrator said the town and contractor signed to drill the Streetroad well, The Layne Christensen Co., have resolved issues over a February malfunction and work will resume soon. The settlement also allows the town to continue to use the services of the AES engineering firm, who had stopped work on the project over concerns they could not validate numbers for state reports. In a third piece of good news, the New York State Department of Health had also granted an extension for the project to be completed. Ò We have settled the issues between us and the contractor will likely begin working at the site again this week,Ó Grinnell said. Ò It will also be at the contracted price that the town and contractor initially agreed to so it will not cost the town any more money.Ó Trouble at the well site began in February when a casing for the well sheered off.

at the age of nine, when she started to perform in the Ticonderoga Idol competition along with the Essex County Fair Idol. Ò I was used to singing in front of people and being judged,Ó Rodriguez said. After receiving word she had advanced to perform for the producers of Ò Idol,Ó Rodriguez traveled to Uniondale, on Long Island, for the audition. Ò It was a lot different then what you see on television,Ó she said. Ò There were a lot less people than I expected maybe 200 or 300. We went in

to register and then there was an area where chairs and mirrors were set up so we could get prepared, so we sat there and practiced together. It was pretty cool.Ó Then the moment of truth came, when Rodriguez was brought before a panel of five producers to show what she could do, being asked to stand on an x, or her mark, on the floor. For the audition, Rodriguez, who said she enjoys singing hip-hop and R&B music, opted to go for a more traditional selection, singing,

Ò At Last,Ó by Etta James. Ò It was really quick,Ó she said. Ò The producers said that I had a strong voice, but it was a no for that day.Ó Rodriguez said she enjoyed the chance to audition for the producers and that she hopes to find herself there again - this time getting the chance to advance to an audition in front of the celebrity panel of judges. Ò I think I might go back and audition again and sing something more modern,Ó she said.

Rathbuns close up shop on 74-year Ti jewelry store staple By Keith Lobdell

30th, we are done.Ó

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ Howard and Susan Rathbun find the moment to be bittersweet, but 45 years after taking over the family jewelry business, the couple will turn the sign from Ò openÓ to “closed” for a final time this Saturday. RathbunÕ s Jewelry, which has been holding a Ò retirement saleÓ for the past several weeks, will close Saturday, Aug. 30. Ò It is kind of bittersweet,Ó Nancy Rathbun said. Ò I feel we bring a lot of people into the downtown area and that is why we would like to see a retail store back here.Ó Ò We appreciate all of the loyal customers over the years and all of the friends we have made,Ó Howard Rathbun said. Ò It has been such a great time getting to know our customers and we thank them for their support and trust in us over the past 45 years and since my father opened the business on May 1, 1940.”

Generations of customers

Howard and Susan Rathbun tend to customers at Rathbun’s Jewelry in Ticonderoga. The couple will close the store for the final time Saturday, Aug. 30, as they retire from the business. Photo by Keith Lobdell

The beginning

Howard Rathbun, Sr., first rented the space where Rathbun’s Jewelry is housed in 1940 before buying the property in 1943. Howard, Jr., grew up in Ticonderoga playing little league baseball and going to school, where he met his future wife, Susan. Ò We met out on the lake water skiing,Ó Susan said, while Howard countered, Ò I noticed her walking across the cafeteria at school.Ó After high school, young Howard Rathbun became a banker, working in the Albany area. Ò My father got ill and he was trying to sell the business, but nobody wanted to buy it,Ó Howard said. Ò I had been working for a bank in Albany and enjoyed the work, but we decided letÕ s go back to Ti.Ó The RathbunÕ s transferred ownership of the business Jan. 28, 1949. Ò The insurance policy got transferred on the same day and the next morning, there was a fire,” Rathbun said. Ò The insurance agency next door had renovated their space (which is not part of the jewelry store) along with putting in a new circuit breaker, and you could see right where the fire started and expanded in the new box.Ó Rathbun said the fire, which, “made a mess of everything,Ó was actually a blessing in disguise for

him as a new owner. Ò It was a great chance to learn the different items and the different vendors because I needed to work with them as we were getting everything repaired and polished,Ó he said. Ò We were open the day after the fire and we never closed the shop.” Throughout, Susan has been working alongside her husband, along with taking different jobs throughout the community, including as the first director of PRIDE from 1984-1994. Ò Having Susan with me most of the time has been a plus,Ó he said. Ò For the past 20 years, this has been a pure Mom-and-Pop business,Ó Susan said.

Changes

The couple has seen a lot change along the main drag of downtown over the past 45 years. ÒT he mill was still downtown when we began and when the whistle blew for lunch, there would be 500 people on the street,Ó Howard said. ÒW e were always changing out the window displays once a week. Now we change them once a month, maybe.Ó ÒT here were a lot of retail stores downtown,Ó Susan said. ÒY ou had two ladies stores, two mens stores, a department store and more.Ó

The couple said the relationships they have created and grown during the past 45 years will be something they miss. Ò They trust us,Ó Susan said. Ò Some of these customers come from people who did business with HowardÕ s dad, and now we see their children and grandchildren coming here. We have always strived to keep the quality merchandise that we have and the services that no one else was providing in our region.Ó Ò There are a lot of summer residents who save their repairs and bring them up here instead of having it done down in the city,Ó Howard said, moments before a pair of customers from Brooklyn came in to the shop to make a purchase. The couple plans to take a short vacation after closing up shop, but returning to close up any loose ends. Ò We will be back to wrap up the rest,Ó Howard said. Ò In case there is something that was left here after the final day that needs to be picked up.” Susan said even though they were retiring from the business scene, there were not retiring from their community. Ò Our home is here and we intend to remain active in our community,Ó she said. RathbunÕ s Jewelry will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 29, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on their final day, Saturday, Aug. 30.

While some stores went away after the mill moved, Howard said his biggest concern came when the big box store moved into town. ÒW e were concerned about Walmart coming in,Ó he said. ÒI t happened that year we went to a town that was a lot like Ticonderoga, built around a mill and recently had a large store come in, and the only store that had survived there was a jewelry shop. That gave us the thought that we could make it.Ó Howard said they are still hoping to sell the building to a buyer who would bring a retail business to town. ÒW e would like a retailer of some type to come in here,Ó he said. ÒW e are looking to sell the building in the A picture from Rathbun’s Jewelry when it was owned by Howard’s father, Howard future, but as of the Rathbun, Sr.

Ticonderoga hit by regional con artist, forgerer By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A Vermont woman arrested by Glens Falls Police for allegedly seeking funds for a fake charity and forging checks has also been connected to a pair of similar crimes here. According to Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns, 34-year old Sarah M. Wilbur of Sudbury, Vt., was in Ticonderoga around Aug. 12, soliciting funds for St. JudeÕ s ChildrenÕ s Hospital. The problem: police claim she was not sending the donations to St. JudeÕ s, instead pocketing the money herself and in one case changing the amount given. Ò We have found two victims so far who donated money and had checks forged to indicate higher amounts,Ó Johns said. Ò We are asking others who may have made a donation around this time to a lady who was going door-to-door to contact the police department.Ó Johns said charges are still pending against Wilbur and the investigation remains open as the police seek to find if there are any other victims. In Glens Falls, Wilbur had been charged with a felony count of criminal possession of a forged instrument and misdemeanors for criminal impersonation and petit larceny. Wilbur also faces similar charges in Manchester, Vt., along with being investigated for other crimes in New Hampshire. Police alleged Wilbur used the cover story of collecting funds for a trike-a-thon event to benefit St. Jude’s when there was no such event scheduled. Johns said while charity solicitation does not fall under a local peddlers permit, there are ways to avoid being scammed. Ò If you have any suspicions, you are encouraged to call the police,Ó Johns said. Ò People should also make sure to make checks payable to the name of the charity and not the person who is soliciting the funds.Ó

A board of legislators: We deserve a study

year ago Denton Publications ran a handful of articles shining a light on the pros and cons of a county board of supervisors versus a board of legislators. We then took a stand in this column, advocating for the latter. Since no discussion or study has transpired on the subject, we feel it is again time to encourage the Essex County Board of Supervisors to disband in favor of a board of legislators. And here is why: It will save taxpayers thousands. By our estimate, the move would easily save county and town taxpayers a minimum of $500,000 annually. It would also provide residents representation at the county who have no other interest other than county business. The board also would no longer be ruled by the weighted voting power of the Ò big threeÓ Ñ the towns of Ticonderoga, Moriah and North Elba Ñ no legislator would have more voting power than any other. That would effectively erase the current squabbling over whatÕ s in the best interest of one town, replacing it with what is in the best interest of the people in a particular district and the county as a whole. Legislators could focus on county business, time would not be lost on bringing people up to speed on county issues and time management would certainly improve. Seven people sitting around a boardroom table with an equal vote and no outside agenda would most certainly get more accomplished than 18 with a foot in more than one camp. Perhaps that is why more than 70 percent of the counties in New York have already gone the way of a board of legislators. A board of legislators is a more efficient, more accountable form of county government. All you have to do is compare Essex County with nearby Franklin County Ñ which switched to a seven-member board of legislators in 1970 Ñ to quickly see the tremendous cost savings, both on the town and county level. On the town level, the average annual salary for a part-time supervisor in Franklin County last year was $10,735. Only one supervisor, in Harrietstown, was offered health insurance. In Essex County, on the other hand, the average annual salary last year for a town supervisor was $28,666, while 14 of 18 were offered health insurance. That means Essex County’s 18 supervisors

made $312,000 more in 2013 than Franklin CountyÕ s 19 part-time supervisors. Then, at the county level, the seven members of the Franklin County Board of Legislators made $108,000 last year compared to $319,137 in Essex County Ñ a difference of $211,137. Combine those two numbers and Essex County’s 18 supervisors cost more than half a million dollars more last year than Franklin CountyÕ s 19 supervisors and 7 legislators, with 12,000 less residents. Franklin County has 51,579 residents compared to Essex CountyÕ s 39,302. Add to that the cost of benefits both at the town and county for 18 people and the final tally no doubt pushes that number closer to $1 million annually. WeÕ ve heard the arguments in favor of a board of supervisors. Some believe the constituent service is better with a full-time, accessible town supervisor and officials argue that the county interaction with towns is better under the current governing body. But as a taxpayer, you have to ask yourself: Is it worth a million dollars more out of pocket each year? Under a board of legislators, each town would still be represented locally by a part-time supervisor, as well as a town board. Residents would still be represented by a legislator at the county level. Better representation for less money, if you ask us. But don’t take our word for it — ask the 44 counties in New York that are already under a legislative form of government. Ask them if they miss the cost and bickering associated with a board of supervisors and a weighted vote. Making both the legislator and supervisor positions part-time also would open them to a different slate of candidates like people who might like to serve but are unable to do so in a full-time capacity. Local government truly began to go awry when elected positions evolved into an occupation instead of an opportunity to serve a community. Our supervisors should keep that in mind, and be open-minded enough to publicly discuss the subject of a board of legislators, and then commission a study to determine if that method of government would come with the kind of tax savings we feel it will. We, as taxpayers, deserve to know once and for all. Ñ

Fire destroys storage building on Lake George Ave Classic cars, boats lost in blaze By John Gereau

johng@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A fast moving fire destroyed a storage building on Lake George Avenue early Friday morning, Aug. 22. The contents of the building included two automobiles. Two boats owned by Snug Harbor Marina located adjacent to the building were also destroyed in the fire. According to Ticonderoga Fire Chief Jeff Burns, the fire was called in at 3:46 a.m. Friday morning. By the time firefighters arrived on scene minutes later, the building was fully involved. Ò We had mutual aid from the Putnam Fire Department, the Crown Point Fire Department, the Hague Fire Department and the Ticonderoga Ladies Auxiliary,Ó Burns said. Burns said the building was unoccu-

pied, although residents were evacuated from an apartment building next door as a precaution. The siding on that building was damaged, but firefighters were able to keep the blaze from spreading next door. The fire was contained by the four fire departments on scene within 45 minutes, Burns said. The structure, which is owned by a New Jersey woman, was considered a total loss. The building was not insured. Ticonderoga Police Chief Mark Johns said the fire remains under investigation by Essex County Fire Investigators. “We work closely with the fire investigators to determine if a police investigation is warranted,Ó Johns said. Investigators were on scene Friday morning combing through the rubble to determine the cause of the blaze. They will return later today for further investigation, Burns said.

Property owner gets extension from town board By Keith Lobdell

keith@denpubs.com TICONDEROGA Ñ A property that has received numerous citations was given one more chance by the Ticonderoga Town Board, but the clock may run out Aug. 28. Members of the board voted to table the issue of complaints received against a property on Lord Howe Street at its Aug. 14 meeting, giving the property owner time to meet with their attorney before making a final decision. Ò We will table this for a chance for the owner to meet with council,Ó Supervisor Bill Grinnell said. Ò It would be our strongest recommendation that the owner take care of these issues before that (Aug. 28) meeting. This has gone on way too long.Ó The board was prepared to make a determination on the property that night, part of a deal struck with the owner, but decided to wait until the owner was able to meet with council. The town recorded evidence of seven dog complaints since April with a ticket issued in June for a loose dog citation; a May 1 order to remedy a garbage complaint and two appearance tickets for burying garbage on property, among others. To help the owner, the town made an agreement to allow them to use the town transfer site for free for 90 days to dispose of the garbage that was there. Ò In the amount of time the owner has had to deal with this situation and the deliberate actions that have been taken, they have not attempted to adhere to the law,Ó Grinnell said. Ò Despite the deal given to use the transfer station at no charge, the code officer has still found incidents of the owner trying to bury trash on the property. There was an attempt to bury the garbage on site the morning of this meeting.Ó The action is part of the townÕ s attempt to clean up buildings and properties around the town that have been allowed to go into various states of disrepair. The board also moved on a local law that would require all multiple dwellings and all non-owner occupied single and double resident dwellings to have the same fire and safety inspections done as other rental and commercial properties at least once every 36 months.

Warren County Soil and Water will be doing the design and will be working with us on the project.Ó Marnell said the current drainage system for the runoff is old and very deteriorated. He added large pieces of debris are not the only items the beds will collect. Ò Any oil or gas that spills on the road and would be going into the lake now, this drainage system will catch,Ó Marnell said. Ò Water will go directly into the filter beds and dry walls to be filtered before going into the lake.Ó Construction on the project will begin shortly after Labor Day, with the first phase of the project being completed in the fall. Ò There will be no impact on people being able to use the facility,Ó Marnell said. Ò You will still be able to get boats in and out of the water, but the parking lot will be roped off.

Pottersville-Schroon road to get repaved

Last Saturday, supporters of the Save the Strand fundraising effort met outside the Strand Theater in Schroon Lake for a group photo wearing their, “I Helped Save the Strand,” shirts. Attendees of the photo shoot represent the various ways the community gave to save the Strand, either through direct donation or at the various fundraising events held throughout the past year. Included in this group are Schroon Lake business, organization and religious leaders and Save the Strand Committee members Emily Rossi-Snook, Elena Rossi-Snook and Tessie Rossi Visceglie (front center with red blanket), whose family purchased the Strand in 1937. Samantha Tyrrell of Paradox Crafts generously donated the printing of the shirts. “We all are proud to live in a supportive, creative community and look forward to the movies running once again on Main Street,” Snook said. “The appreciation of owners Liz and Larry McNamara is clearly stated in the banner they hung in honor of the community effort. Many donors could not make the photo shoot, but sent their happiness and good wishes. The Save the Strand Committee is now done with their task. It was a rewarding, year-long effort. We made many friends and are all so proud to live in a community that is defined by its generosity. Thank you friends!” Photo provided/ Nancy Harste

Seven full time teachers along with five teacher’s aids, 22 volunteers, the school secretary and principal Jennie Bensen are ready to welcome 94 students to the school. This is a 47 percent increase from last year. Ò I am tremendously excited and this is a bigger jump than I had imagined this quickly,Ó Bensen said. Ò I thought we would get to this point in maybe two or three years, but not one.Ó Some of the new changes include adding more volunteers and aids. In addition, Paul Mieras will join the staff as the part-time athletic director for the school and also play a key role in helping to further the schoolÕ s donations and gifts. Updated facility items were necessary to allow for bigger class sizes such as a big classroom location move to better accommodate each learning center. The school has also purchased and had donated new computers for classroom use allowing them to reintroduce keyboarding and computer classes for grades 7-9. Some added highlights include electives like Art, Digital Photography, Home Ec. and Small Ensemble. Plans to incorporate hands-on service projects in the community for the high school students is underway and important in helping them be active members of their community. An exciting addition to the school this year is the welcoming of an international exchange student from China, as well as five children adopted from Peru and China. One of the staff members, who has

a masters degree in ESL instruction, along with another experienced volunteer, will be working with these students to integrate them as easily as possible into the student body. Ò There is so much to be excited about for this upcoming school year,Ó Bensen said. Ò But the thing I am most thrilled about is watching God do His work in our studentsÕ lives. I love the freedom to speak truth into the lives of young people, as they are learning about GodÕ s world, His laws and His story.Ó For more information about Mountainside Christian Academy, contact the school secretary at 532-7129.

Grant monies set to stabilize beach and provide new recreational opportunities By Mauranda Stahl-Sorensen mauranda@denpubs.com

50692

MORIAH Ñ MoriahÕ s town beach, pickle and basketball courts and the new viking ship playground will all be getting facelifts and structural renovations in the near future, thanks in part to grant monies secured by the town. The town beach, known locally as Sandy Beach, has received a state grant in the amount of $300,000 to fix a long standing erosion issue and prevent future loss of lakefront acreage. Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava explained the issues and plans for correcting the problem. Ò In just the past year, we lost another 30 feet of shoreline at the beach,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò It is a loss in revenue stream for the town and local businesses that benefit from the tourism. In the 90Õ s we put in a seawall at the north end of the beach and then the problem just seemed to be pushed further south.Ó In an effort to remedy the problem, the town put the project out to bid. The lowest bidder was Kubricky Construction who came in with a $364,300 price tag. The plan will allow for finger-type barriers to be placed systematically throughout the shoreline in the campground area. This design, Scozzafava explained, is the best way the town can circumvent future issues by stopping wave action from hitting the shore. Ò The plan will get us back to 175 camp sites, some of which we have lost in the past,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò This should take care of the erosion issue permanently with some yearly maintenance.Ó Construction teams are expected to break ground beginning in September and the project is expected to last six weeks. The town will be providing in-kind materials for the project in the form of sand and top soil.

Ò We will be bringing in beach sand and also installing some new pieces of playground equipment,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò The project should be completed by the fall and trees and shrubbery will be planted with a root system to help stabilize everything.Ó Adding to the renovations the town has also secured a contract with Bevins Systems to provide wireless internet access to the campers at the beach. Ò Wireless access at the campground has been in demand for awhile,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò We had a hard time finding a company that would provide the access. In this age you have to have a way for people to connect.Ó Bevins, a Ferrisburgh, Vermont-based company, will be providing the access and the town will be responsible for the outlets and ports, Scozzafava stated. The campers who choose to have internet access will pay on a fee-for-use basis directly with Bevins. Ò We are really excited that these projects and opportunities are finally going to take place,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò The beach, aside from property taxes, is our biggest revenue stream and provides also for local businesses.Ó Two other recreational projects are also on the agenda for the town currently. The viking ship playground that was recently placed in Grover Hills will be expanded, adding a swing set to the mix. This came as a result of a Healthy Places grant the town secured, Scozzafava explained. In addition, the basketball and pickle ball courts located on the South Moriah Road will be resurfaced to provide a safer and better equipped outdoor space. This property is owned by the Moriah Fire District and is currently leased by the town of Moriah. Ò These things are all ways to get people out, keep them busy and doing things in the community,Ó Scozzafava said. Ò All of that is a good thing.Ó

CROWN POINT Ñ Town leadership is looking to make sure potential property issues like unsafe structures or nuisance properties can be addressed with more severely. Ò We need to clean up and make these areas safe,Ó Supervisor Charles Harrington said. Ò We have already come to terms with a property owner under our unsafe structures local law and we are also exploring a nuisance property local law that has come in front of the board twice. We have also discussed it with our town attorney and it will come up for a public hearing after the board makes its final review in September.Ó Harrington said the town wants to make sure it gets the nuisance local law as close to perfect as possible. Ò We have not been in a hurry because we want to

get this right,Ó he said. Ò We have been diligent in exploring all of the issues as well as the issues that we may create through the implementation of the law.Ó Harrington said under the unsafe structure local law, the town can use highway department equipment to clean a property if an owner refuses to take care of the conditions after being notified of a violation several times. The expense from the highway department services would then be charged back to the property owner on their tax rolls. Ò With some cases we have been very successful and with others we have run into a brick wall,Ó Harrington said. Unlike neighboring towns Ticonderoga and Port Henry, Harrington believes the problem with property issues does not come from owners

who do not live locally. Ò We really donÕ t have any absentee landlords,Ó he said. Ò What we have are some owners that are not exercising their responsibilities as a landlord. We have unsafe structures both inside the hamlet and outside and we take care of them whenever they are presented to us.Ó Harrington said there has been improvement throughout the summer with some properties, but called the season Ò very trying.Ó The Crown Point Supervisor agreed with Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava that more regular inspections could help code enforcement officers become more aware of violations earlier while adding the landlord also has to take the lead. Ò I think the landlords have to evaluate and scrutinize all of their tenant applicants,Ó he said.

There was an amazing number of donated goods for sale and many smiling faces on our visitors who found interesting treasures and unique creations. All proceeds went to help our furry friends at the North Country SCPA while they wait for their forever homes. We would like to thank everyone who volunteered their time or donated items for this event: without your efforts, fundraisers like these would not exist. We are also thrilled to report that tuxedo kitten Jackson, who was recently featured, has gone to his forever home! Our featured pet this week is Bella, a Labrador Retriever-Hound mix who came in with her six puppies in terrible shape. Both she and the pups were infested with fleas and intestinal parasites and were extremely underweight. We now have this beautiful lady well on the road to recovery. Bella has gained weight and her chocolate coat has regained a healthy sheen. Sweet BellaÕ s pups are on their way to new homes, and she

Bella is now ready to find a special place for herself where she will be loved and appreciated. Bella has a gentle, quiet temperament and is just barely out of “puppyhood” herself; she is just a little over a year old. We believe that this girl will make someone a terrific, loyal companion for many years to come. Please stop by and check out Bella.

Host families are needed for the fall semester and full school year. Host families (traditional families, singles, empty nesters, etc.) serve as mentors and a home base for their student. Visiting students participate as active members of the family and integrate into their hostÕ s daily routines and traditions just like any other family member. Hosting an international student is a great way to explore a new culture and promote a sense of lifelong learning and adventure. Ò Every year New York plays host to many talented, top-oftheir-class students with the lifelong dream of studying in America,Ó reports Emily Rolin, iE-USAÕ s Area Director. Emily ads, Ò New YorkÕ s spirit of hospitality and focus on academic enrichment makes it an ideal environment to develop cultural exchange and promote international diplomacy on a local level.Ó To learn more about how to make the dream come true for an international high school exchange student, contact New York representative, Joe Bissell at j.bissell@international-experience. net, 517-388-8948. Host families may review prospective student profiles online at iE-USA.org. Families interested in hosting this year must apply by Aug. 15.

Cabela’s, Bass Tracker, LL Bean: Sporting scenes in the Adirondacks

recently received a phone call from an old friend who wanted to know if I could help him arrange to get a wild turkey for use as a prop in a photo shoot that was to be produced in the area. Although IÔ ve often arranged props for a variety of fashion shoots over the years, IÕ ve never received a request for a live, wild turkey. I have however, arranged for shots of Wild Turkey; but generally it occurred in a bar room setting. The production in question was being hosted in and around Wilmington, Lake Placid and the surrounding area and it featured outdoor sporting scenes in the woods, waters and fields of the local area for an upcoming CabelaÕ s Catalog. It was not the only production shoot to visit the region in recently. In fact, there have been numerous production projects hosted in the Adirondack region over the years, as evidenced by the recent release of another in the series of Mutant Teenage Ninja Turtles motion pictures that was actually filmed in Tupper Lake. The annual LL Bean Fall and Winter catalogs have been produced in the region for the past four years, with Adirondack scenes dominating the production. The lakes and mountains, forests and streams have long provided a backdrop for a wide variety of motion pictures, television productions as well as numerous catalog and fashion shoots. In 2003, Sports Illustrated magazine used the Adirondack backstop for their annual 40th Anniversary Swimsuit Issue, which soon earned fame as the largest single selling publication in the world at the time. Although there are a number of catalog productions that prefer to utilize the region during the summer high season; the vast majority of the shoots are typically conducted during the spring and fall. In fact, the slower tourism months are ideal for many production projects, since it so easy to manipulate the season in the Adirondacks.

Most of the regional forests are dominated by spruce, pine and balsam, which allows the seasonal definition to be easily determined by the surroundings. If a carpet of fresh snow, whether artificial or actual ice shavings from the Olympic Arena, is in the foreground of a evergreen forest, the setting can be instantly transformed into a Christmas scene. Just add a sleigh, or a dog sled team and winter has arrived, even in mid-July. And since most production projects for catalogs are completed abut six months in advance of delivery of the final product, they need to have winter or autumn scenes in the late spring or early summer. Even in the heat of the summer, an autumn scene is almost always possible to construct in a region where pine needles often carpet the forest floor among the towering pines, and a thick morning fog covers the lakes. Prop managers simply sprinkle around a few colorful fall leaves, and blend them in with naturally brown leaves and pine needles on the forest floor which can make the scene appear as if it is Thanksgiving in the middle of April. During a Mercedes Benz car commercial a few years back, the production crew hired the Olympic Authority to produce snow with their snowmaking guns, which turned the scene into a blizzard to impress the public with the road handling capabilities of the new All Wheel Drive Mercedes. Of course, the fearsome winding road that was tackled in the snowstorm was actually just a service road at the Ski Jump Complex. Already this season, the region has hosted productions for Bass Tracker Boats which was filmed on the Lower Saranac Lake, while Dooney & Bourke Handbags shot their new collection on Lake Placid. Cabelas has been shooting their Fall Catalog in an around Wilmington on the Ausable River and in the local forests and fields. The next time you look at a catalog or a television commercial. take a closer look at the background or the props. YouÕ re likely to see a familiar scene, a friendÕ s old pickup or a familiar family dog in the background. Joe Hackett is a guide and sportsman residing in Ray Brook. Contact him at brookside18@adelphia.net.

This scene from a recent J Crew catalog was produced in the Adirondacks, as was the rainbow trout which served as a prop.

Victoria Secrets has produced catalogs in the Adirondack region numerous time, as evidenced in this scene from Great Camp Sagamore near Racquette Lake.
