“Roadside Adventures” gets local screening SARANAC LAKE — The Adirondack Carousel will host a screening of the Mountain Lake PBS “Roadside Adventures” episode highlighting the New York State Carousels on Thursday, Aug. 21 at 5 p.m in Saranac Lake.

This free event invites the public in to experience the carousel, learn more about it through the episode, and meet and greet with Derek Muirden, Senior Producer of the program that has received numerous accolades, including the New York State Broadcasters Association Award for Best Travel Series, for its unique and whimsical look at regional attractions.

Operations Manager of the Adirondack Carousel, Jennifer Hunt states, “this is a wonderful way to see these beautiful works of art, carved and donated by crafts people from across the country and to hear more about the Carousel, how it came to be built in Saranac Lake and what it means to the community.”

This free screening is scheduled to take place in conjunction with Saranac Lake’s Third Thursday Art Walks. These self-guided art and music tours through downtown Saranac Lake take place on the third Thursday of every month, all summer.

The Adirondack Carousel recently celebrated their second anniversary of opening to the public. Season 6 of “Roadside Adventures” will begin its second run on Aug. 28. Episodes will also become available online as they air each week.

‘Turtles’ bring economic boost to Tupper TUPPER LAKE — The filming of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” in Tupper Lake last March resulted in an approximately $1 million local economic impact.

This included businesses and vendors, including restaurants, hardware stores, lumber yards, hotels, fuel supply, catering and real estate rental.

The latest film in the resurrected franchise also hired a number of local residents as extras.

“The production had a great impact on the area when the community needed it most, giving it a $1 million local economic boost during the most challenging time of the year. They embraced the community who was sad to see them go when the filming ended,” says Jim LaValley, owner of LaValley Real Estate and chairman of ARISE, the local economic development organization.

Mark Lemieux, owner of Lemieux Contracting, said, “This is typically a very slow time for us, so it was a real bonus

ELIZABETHTOWN — As the race for New York’s 21st Congressional District enters the 90-day stretch before voters head to the polls in November, Democratic candidate Aaron Woolf said he perceives what he refers to as a “perceptible ramping up of momentum.”

Woolf, speaking to the Valley News after receiving an endorsement from the Central Trades and Labor Council last Thursday in Gouverneur, said his campaign has been focused on traversing the district and speaking with voters and small business owners.

The candidate said he felt moved by the spirit of bipartisanship, something is says is a quintessential North Country characteristic.

Office openings in Potsdam, Glens Falls and Watertown have added to his buoyancy.

“Each appearance seems to have more people than the last,” he said. “Rooms full of twenty-something energy.”

On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the candidate, who lives in Elizabethtown, released his first television advertisement, a gauzy, half-minute ode to bipartisanship entitled “Walk Across the Aisle.”

ADIRONDACK ISSUES

The new movie “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” was filmed almost entirely last March in Tupper Lake.

In a half-hour phone interview, Woolf cited several issues that his Republican opponent in the race, Elise Stefanik, also discussed at a meeting of the Adirondack Park Local Government Review Board last month. They include con CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Quilt raffle to benefit BRI’s Adirondack Center for loons RAY BROOK — Biodiversity Research Institute’s (BRI’s) Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation is pleased to announce its 2014 Loon Quilt Raffle.

For the second year, Dr. Nina Schoch, Coordinator of the Loon Center, is creating a unique queen-sized quilt for the raffle to benefit the Loon Center. This year’s fabulous hand-made quilt depicts a stretching Common Loon, based on the logo of BRI’s Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation, which was designed

by Jason Smith (www.jwsmithdesigns.com).

“The loon quilt raffle helps support our loon research and conservation initiatives in the Adirondack Park, enabling us to address numerous threats to Adirondack loons and their breeding lakes,” explained Dr. Nina Schoch. “I greatly enjoy quilting and seeing the pattern evolve into a fun and extraordinary quilt. I look forward to drawing the winning ticket – last year’s winner was extremely excited when I called her to tell her she had won the quilt!”

Biodiversity Research Institute and its collaborators have conducted research on the Adirondack loon population since 1998 to evaluate the impact of mercury pollution on aquatic ecosystems, and to learn more about the natural history and health of Adirondack loons. Additionally, BRI’s Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation conducts a variety of innovative outreach programs, such as the fishing line recycling program, to increase

public understanding about conservation concerns affecting the Adirondack loon population.

Raffle tickets ($5 each or 6 tickets for $25) can be downloaded

at www.briloon.org/adkloon to keep the “loon lover” in your life warm this winter! A photo of the quilt in progress is also available at www.briloon.org/adkloon.

The public is invited to attend the raffle drawing on Sunday, Oct. 12, at the Saranac Lake Town Hall, as part of the 2014 Adirondack Loon Celebration. This free event will be held from 9a.m.-5pm, and will include a variety of loon-related activities for the entire family.

The mission of Biodiversity Research Institute is to assess emerging threats to wildlife and ecosystems through collaborative research, and to use scientific findings to advance environmental awareness and inform decision makers. BRI’s Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation is dedicated to improving the overall health of the environment, especially air and water quality, through collaborative research and outreach focusing on the natural history of the Common Loon and conservation issues affecting loon populations and their aquatic habitats.

To learn more, contact BRI’s Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation at adkloon@briloon.org or (888) 749-5666 x 145, or visit www.briloon.org and www.briloon.org/adkloon, and like BRI‘s Adirondack Center for Loon Conservation at www.facebook. com/adkloon to stay updated about BRI’s Adirondack loon research and outreach efforts.

SARANAC LAKE — Sixty artists are now registered to participate in the 6th Annual Adirondack Plein Air Festival from Aug. 21-24.

Organized by Saranac Lake ArtWorks, 75 artists from all over the northeast are expected to attend.

Watch their artists “Paint the Town” on Thursday, Aug. 21. All participating artists are asked to create and donate a 5x7 painting done in the village of Saranac Lake.

They can set up and paint anywhere in town. Any business or home owner who would like to see their place painted, should contact Sandy at 891-1388.

Provide the name and address and ArtWorks will provide a list of requested painting subjects to the artists. There’s no guarantee they will choose to paint them and there is no obligation on your part to purchase the paintings, but organizers hope you will at least come and look at them.

Inter-Lakes terminates local bus service

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com ELIZABETHTOWN — Twenty-two Essex County residents have been left scrambling to adjust their transportation schedules after the Ticonderoga-based health consortium Inter-Lakes Health (ILH) cancelled the bus service that ferried elderly passengers from the southern part of the county to medical appointments across the region, including Middlebury and Burlington.

Essex County officials remain in the dark two weeks after the decision was made on July 28.

“It’s been hard to get information,” Essex County Transportation Coordinator Nancy Dougal told the Board of Supervisors on Monday, Aug. 11.

Dougal said one resident has already called the county requesting transport.

“I have 22 people that we need to decide how to move,” said Dougal. “Many are in wheelchairs.”

ILH spokesperson Jane Hooper said residents will still be served. Patrons of the former service were notified in a letter sent on Aug. 1 that the Essex County Bus and Ticonderoga Senior Bus would be available as replacements.

Dougal didn’t receive the letter. “The patients started calling and that’s how we got involved,” said Dougal.

JOINT EFFORT The program, a joint effort between ILH and Hudson Headwaters, ran out of gas due to the prohibitive costs of repairing the bus, which was five-years-old and had 120,000 miles.

Hudson Headwaters got state grant funding for the vehicle, explained Hooper. While they owned it, ILH agreed to provide a

driver, gas and insurance and ensure its operation.

ILH said they weren’t in a position to make repairs.

Hudson Headwaters rep Howard Nelson said on Monday they opted to discontinue the program entirely because they didn’t have grant funding to purchase a replacement.

This wasn’t the first bus in the program — repairs to a prior vehicle were made in the past — but nonetheless marks the elimination of the service.

Hooper said the termination was unrelated to the storms swirling around ILH this year, including mass layoffs and personnel changes that have called the facility’s long-term sustainability into doubt.

“The repairs that were needed were extensive,” said Hooper.

“The potential repair was evaluated based on several factors, including the age of the bus and nature of repairs required, much like anyone would evaluate a potential repair bill.”

‘NOT VERY FORWARD’ The Essex County Bus can absorb some of those affected, but some outstanding questions are stuck in neutral.

The county-run bus cannot go beyond Essex County borders, eliminating medical destinations in places like Queensbury, Glens Falls and Vermont.

It is on fixed route that does not make door-to-door stops (but will go three-quarters of a mile off-route to pick up patrons).

“We try to do our best, but we really have to work within the parameters of the fixed route,” said Dougal. “We’re not going to drop them off at Wal-Mart, we’ll take them to Racetrack Road.”

Dougal pointed out other holes: It will be difficult to get residents from New Russia to ECH, for instance, because service isn’t offered to New Russia.

The Essex County Office of the Aging has a list of volunteer

drivers to help with clients aged 60 and older. But those are private vehicles which, like the Ticonderoga Senior Bus, are not wheelchair accessible.

“We’ll be picking up some additional transportation requests that hopefully won’t outspend our budget,” said Office of the Aging Director Patty Bashaw.

Bashaw said her office continually needs volunteers throughout the county to ensure folks get to medical appointments to keep them healthier and safer in the community.

These routine appointments keep people healthy and limit unnecessary ER visits that drive up costs, said Bashaw. Volunteer drivers will receive gas mileage reimbursement and insurance benefits. Interested parties are encouraged to call 873-3695 to get involved.

Dougal said she is in touch with town supervisors throughout the county to ascertain the needs for their constituents.

Ticonderoga Supervisor Bill Grinnell said ILH shouldn’t be faulted and the important thing is to focus on a solution: “Town, county, state, federal — we’re going to find an answer,” he said.

Moriah Supervisor Tom Scozzafava asked if the county could enter into a contractual relationship with Hudson Headwaters to keep the service running.

Dougal said she was unsure of how the contract has historically worked.

“ILH is not very forthcoming,” she said.

“It would make sense to have a dialogue with Hudson Headwaters,” said Human Services Committee Chairman David Blades. “We need to find out what’s going on.”

“We’re trying to stay ahead of it,” said Dougal.

Yet another roadblock to the ACRP project

I

nvasive species, like the spread of deadly algal blooms, has dominated headlines this summer.

The issue received a boost last month when Kirsten Gillibrand, New York’s junior Senator, visited Lake Placid to champion the Invasive Fish and Wildlife Prevention Act, one of the three proposed Great Lakes Bills that would accelerate the federal government’s review process when it considers whether to ban the importation of animals and plants, among other measures.

Combating invasives is a bipartisan issue that has sweeping ramifications across the region.

Their pervasive spread costs the federal government damages of $120 billion per year and their presence in the Adirondack Park — including blue algae, milfoil, zebra mussels and the spiny water flea — has the opportunity to derail the chief economic driver of the region — tourism, an industry that generated $144 million in local taxes last year and is the keystone to the North Country’s future, one that complements emerging developments in the biomass energy industry, agriculture and international trade sectors.

Excessive amounts of algae, alongside manmade contaminants, chokes off oxygen and leads to dead zones within bodies of water, places where life cannot exist.

Readers may be familiar with the problems facing Lake George.

There, dead zones have been reported, little storms of stagnation — pockets of slimy algal ooze paired with synthetic pollutants that have posed as a mortal threat to aquatic survival. Exhaustive efforts are under way to keep these combatants in check, including a proposed study in September that will enlist volunteers to scope the shores for the Asian Clam.

Another example of a dead zone is Tupper Lake. Beneath the austere gunpowder-gray sheen of Big Tupper belies a sense of unnatural gloom.

While the lake itself is just fine, a recent peek into the human habitat shows a disproportionate percentage of those fortunate enough to be working are employed in the public sector, a number expected to shrink as restruction at Sunmount Developmental Disabilities kicks a wider swath into a struggling private sector that often, has no place for them.

The invasives threatening Tupper Lake are the two radical environmental organizations who threw up another roadblock to the Adirondack Club and Resort Project earlier this month with another legal challenge.

The motion, filed by the two groups made in the Appellate Division, Third Department, is just another ruinous attempt to flush people out of the Adirondack Park, a coordinated action attempting to destabilize the economic stability of the region to pursue their fanatical environmen-

talist agenda.

Earlier this summer, a state appellate court voted 5-0 that the Adirondack Park Agency (APA) did not err in awarding Preserve Associates the permits to undertake the largest construction project approved by the APA, the construction of 600 vacation homes near the Big Tupper Ski Area.

The announcement follows the 10-1 ruling in 2012 that the APA conducted a thorough review and the project would not have an adverse environmental impact on the 6,000 acres in question, 90 percent of which were to remain undevelopment after years of negotiations with various stakeholders.

Environmental organizations are an integral component to the Adirondack ecosystem. They act as indispensable counterweights to commercial interests and their advocacy is often overlooked by natives who are often frustrated at navigating the cumbersome bureaucracy that is an unfortunate counterpart to our unparalleled natural beauty.

The Adirondack Council led the charge on forcing Adirondack Club developers to implement greener energy standards and to reduce potential light pollution. They also pushed for clustering that would have reduced the amount of development across the acreage and more intensive wildlife studies to be conducted by the APA. Despite their efforts, they failed on the last two accounts and the project continued forward. But the Adirondack Council opted to chalk the defeat up to what they perceived as internal flaws within the organization and have opted to pivot their strategy to influence the discussion in other areas.

They should be commended for that. We agree with them that the APA should be compelled to scrutinize those issues when addressing development projects while politely disagreeing to the exact scope.

This long-term plan to ensure the discussion amongst various stakeholders in the Adirondack Park remains civil is in contrast to the scorched earth approach favored by the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, spiteful and vituperative legal maneuvering designed to antagonize Tupper Lake residents and stick the people trying to improve the local economy with the court fees in the process.

These actions are causing direct economic consequences to good people.

Like the fight against the invasives, ensuring the sustainability of the human ecosystem should be an issue that transcends partisan and ideological squabbling. This includes good schools, competitive jobs and a sustainable year-round economy centered around infrastructure development for our small communities.

Anything less is unconscionable. Ñ D enton Publications Editorial Board

ELIZABETHTOWN — The use of food stamps in Essex County increased during the recession, assisting families in stretching their food dollars, contributing to local spending and helping spark a national debate about the future of the federal nutrition program.

The proportion of Essex County residents receiving food stamps hit 9.4 percent in 2011, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Food and Nutrition Services. That’s an increase of 3.9 percentage points since 2007, the year the recession started.

Essex County’s food-stamp usage rate is lower than the state rate. Across New York, 15.7 percent of residents in 2011 received support from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), as the food stamp program is officially known. Nationally, 14.8 percent of the population receives SNAP benefits.

Places like Essex County, which are located outside metropolitan areas, tend to have a higher percentage of the population receiving SNAP benefits. That’s because incomes are generally

The inflation-adjusted median household income in Essex County in 2011 was $47,299, compared to the New York median of $57,116. Nationally, median household income was $52,306 in 2011.

In 2011, residents of Essex County received a combined $6,363,422 in SNAP benefits. The USDA reports that each $5 in SNAP benefits generates $9.20 in spending.

SNAP benefits start to circulate in the economy quickly. Participants spend nearly all their food stamps within one month of receipt, according to a study by the University of New Hampshire Carsey Institute.

Grocers say they feel the impact of SNAP and other USDA nutrition programs like Women, Infants and Children (WIC).

“Without SNAP and WIC, we wouldn’t be able to make it,” wrote the owner of the Mill City Market in the small town of Mill City, Ore., in a survey of rural grocers conducted by the Oregon Food Bank and Kansas State University Rural Grocery Initiative.

Owners know they have to stock the shelves to prepare for more business when SNAP benefits hit the streets, said David Procter with the Rural Grocery Initiative It’s not just the mom-and-pop stores that see a bump from food-stamp spending in small towns and rural areas. Walmart reported in a recent Securities and Exchange Commission filing that a decrease in SNAP benefits last year could affect the retail giant’s bottom line.

Average SNAP benefits nationally fell about $30 a month per family in November after a temporary increase that was part of the 2009 economic stimulus package. More funding decreases are on the way.

New Northwood chair of board elected LAKE PLACID — Thomas L. Woodman was recently elected to a three year term as Chair of the Board of Trustees of Northwood School, succeeding Dr. Vanderlyn Pine who served as Board Chair for 18 years.

Mr. Woodman, a 1973 graduate of Northwood School, received his Bachelor’s Degree from Yale University in 1977. He has worked as a career journalist and is currently publisher of the Adirondack Explorer, a non-profit bimonthly news magazine devoted to coverage of the Adirondack Park. Before moving into that position, he worked in daily newspapers, mostly for the Daily Gazette in Schenectady, where he was managing editor for 14 years. He also worked as a reporter, editorial writer and Sunday editor.

Woodman grew up in Lake Placid and now lives in Keene with his wife, Jeannie Cross Woodman.

Located in Lake Placid, Northwood School is an independent, co-educational college preparatory school serving a boarding and day population of 175 students in grades 9 to 12.

This summer, Congress agreed to trim about $8 billion from SNAP over the next decade. Backers of the cuts said the program had expanded too much in recent years and was creating too much reliance on government assistance. SNAP expenditures increased 135 percent between 2007 and 2011.

Former U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor (Va.-R) backed a measure that would have removed SNAP from the farm bill entirely.

“While [SNAP] is an important part of our safety net, our overriding goal should be to help our citizens with the education and skills they need to get back on their feet so that they can provide for themselves and their families,” Rep. Cantor said during congressional debate.

Food stamps have been part of the farm bill for the past 50 years. The legislation’s combination of farming and nutrition programs has helped ensure the bill receives broad backing from farm-country representatives and more urban-based members who support anti-poverty programs.

That alliance was tested but held with the passage of the 2014 farm bill.

Data for this article came from USDA Food and Nutrition Services, the Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Census. The data was compiled and analyzed by Roberto Gallardo, Ph.D., associate Extension professor with the Mississippi State University Extension Service.

Funding for this report came from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation and the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. The Daily Yonder (www. dailyyonder.com) is an independent rural news site published by the nonprofit, nonpartisan Center for Rural Strategies.

Editorial gets it right To the Valley News: Finally!! Someone gets it right. Your editorial in the July 19 Times of Ti, regarding the defensive use of guns, is to be applauded. When so much of the liberal news media is constantly on the attack regarding gun ownership, you have written a piece that will make all the gun control advocates shake their heads with disgust. You can’t reason with them, but thanks for your valiant effort.

Over the last 30 or so years, our country has systematically shut down thousands of institutions for the mentally ill and placed them in mainstream society. The results are and have been predictable. Most of the atrocities committed by people with guns should never have happened because they shouldn’t have had access to the guns in the first place. It is time to place the blame squarely where it belongs…on the person behind the weapon that is used illegally. To cite two cases, the Newtown, CT shooting was committed by a clearly mentally disturbed young man whose own mother allowed him access to weapons he should have never been near. The response was, and still is, to blame the so-called assault rifle. Recently, near the University of California in Santa Barbara another disturbed young man stabbed three people to death before going on a shooting rampage that killed three more. Most of the focus from the media was on the shooting deaths and very little was mentioned about the three stabbings.

As a long time member of the NRA, I receive a monthly publication called American Rifleman, which contains a column called Armed Citizen which highlights several episodes of people who were not victims of a crime because they were armed. Virtually none of these stories make national news. Your editorial gives hope to those who believe in our second amendment.

From page 1 trolling the spread of invasive species, examining the emerging biomass energy industry and developing tourism infrastructure, including roads, broadband and financial boosts for bicycle tourism, that will help bump the economy.

“We need to invest in research that will make renewable increasingly viable,” Woolf said.

“We can and should be a model for the rest of the state and country.”

The candidate said biofuels demonstrate perhaps the most promising growth potential in the region.

Invasive species, he said, threaten the district’s tourism, one of its chief economic drivers. Citing past work on a variety of boards — including the Adirondack Council, where he served before resigning to run for office — he stressed the merits of conservation and preservation.

“I’m proud of bills sponsored by (State Sen.) Betty Little in terms of fighting invasives,” he said. “It’s an issue that can bring us together in a bipartisan way.”

Woolf cited the Adirondack Regional Assessment Project, the report released earlier this year that painted a grim portrait of the demographics within the Adirondack Park. Reversing the district’s ailing trends — young people are leaving, schools are closing and the population is rapidly transitioning from gray to green — are crucial to ensure a vital future, he said.

“Our stakes are palpably high,” he said. “The 2010 census was visceral. People are leaving and not coming back. My goal is not only to arrest the departure of young people, but bring them back. The lifestyle here is awesome: clean air, recreation and delicious food. This place has enviable communities. This place is going to thrive, but let’s give businesses the tools to do so right now.”

LOCAL FLAVOR Woolf’s interviews and local appearances are peppered with local references — service on boards, mutual friends, places, local wildlife sightings, bluegrass jam sessions, new arrivals in the neighborhood — that flow appear to flow organically.

In the conversation, the filmmaker frequently referred to the value of walkable communities in Adirondack towns, including Elizabethtown,

where he lives with his wife, Carolyn, and their three-year-old daughter, Eloise.

“You often think about walkable communities being an urban thing, but places like Elizabethtown used to be like that,” he said. “There is kind of little a density in a lot of our communities, especially in Elizabethtown, that predate automobile ownership. The same people making downtown Plattsburgh fun again could be doing the same thing in Tupper Lake and Elizabethtown — that’s why jobs are Number One.” He frequently circled back to the 2014 Common Ground Alliance Forum in Long Lake last month.

“If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be running for this seat,” he said.

The forum was sponsored by the Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA), a group that bills itself as the longest running nonprofit rural development organization in Northern New York. According to its website, the group fosters partnerships with local governments, non-profits, small businesses and universities to facilitate economic development.

“I went before I was a candidate, I went this year, and I plan on attending next year, whether or not I win in November,” Woolf said. “My real dedication is to this place. I’m going to work to improve to build the community and be part of the economy. No matter what happens in November, I’ll be here doing the same things I’ve been doing, whether it’s the movie theater project or serving on boards, in some capacity next year.”

WORK BOOTS At a meet and greet in Wadhams, Essex County, earlier this year, Woolf relayed an anecdote about his work boots, footwear that served a duel purpose as he embarked on his first bid for elected office.

The first was to offer protection from the effluent flowing from a pipe that burst on a cold and clear night in February on the eve of his pitch to the Democratic powerbrokers in Long Lake.

The second, as a symbolic shield against the sordid muck of modern politics, he said.

“If you do this, you’re going to get a lot of manure tossed at you,” he said at the time. “It seemed very emblematic.”

Woolf shrugged off several weeks of bad press that saw him taking heat on a variety of

issues, including health violations at Urban Rustic, his Brooklyn-based grocery store, and the financial revelations that have allowed his opponents to paint him as a downstate millionaire.

“I think it’s hard to know exactly how you’re going to feel,” he said in regards to the attacks.

“But this is a contact sport. I didn’t jump into this without talking to a lot of thoughtful people. I’m totally fine with it, but I’m little wary when my family becomes involved.”

He cited a visit to the Left Bank Cafe in Saranac Lake last month as a not-so-subtle reminder that he needed to schedule a date with his wife.

“Life has become very regimented. I have to put on calendar things that would have been ordinary — even playing with daughter.”

Woolf demured on punching back at his op-

ponents, opting only to stress he would keep Medicare intact, unlike Stefanik, who Woolf said is an advocate of privatization. “‘Modernizing’ is the term she used, replacing it with a voucher system,” said Woolf.

“Those positions are well-known and cause some anxiety.”

The candidate said feedback from voters on the trail has been positive.

Asked about Green Party candidate Matt Funiciello, the Glens Falls-based baker who has repeatedly assailed Woolf as being unlikely to peel away right-leaning voters in the swing district, Woolf doubled back to Stefanik.

“I’m really focused on my Republican opponent,” he said. “And to be honest, just focused on continually going around the district and talking to voters.”

to be working around the clock with the production. The result was that we did approximately 25 percent of our yearly volume of gross sales in that six weeks. And we weren’t the only ones. Many local businesses benefited, including fuel supply and catering — and they even rented houses.”

“The experience of having ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ filming in Tupper Lake was amazing, interesting, fun, as well as extremely economically beneficial,” said Lemieux. “After working 16hour days, it was thrilling to watch them filming from a helicopter while a tractor trailer did a 360 in the parking lot and then got blown up. The pinnacle moment for us was the last shot they did in Tupper Lake when they flew a tractor trailer off a cliff to an area that we had prepped for them. We would definitely welcome more filmmakers to the area.”

Glenda Reandeau, owner of Reandeau’s Restaurant and Swiss Kitchen, said, “We were very, very busy and we experienced over a 20 percent increase in business. People from the production frequented our restaurant every day and there was a steady influx of customers at different times as they came in when their schedule would permit. The production had a great impact on the community and we were happy to have them in Tupper Lake.”

Kelly Facteau, owner of the Marketplace Restaurant, said, “The production people were great and it was nice having them in town and nice to have the extra business, especially at that time of year. I even had to hire some extra people to help out.”
