PLATTSBURGH Ñ On Sunday night at 7:43 p.m, Plattsburgh City Police responded the backyard of 1 Pine Street for a reported stabbing.

Police and emergency medical personnel responded and found Richard Ò DickeyÓ Bombard, 49, of Plattsburgh with a single stab wound to his chest. He was transported to the Champlain Valley PhysicianÕ s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The person who stabbed Bombard had fled the scene heading west on Broad Street.

Police closed down Broad Street from Durkee Street to Margaret Street while they investigated the stabbing. The three-story apartment building at 1 Pine Street sits at the intersection of Pine and Broad Streets, along the edge of the cityÕ s downtown business district.

During their investigation, police learned that Otis Grenton Jr., 49, from 9 Broad Street had been in the back yard with Bombard when the two got into an argument. Grenton left, but returned a short time later. The argument continued, turning into a physical altercation, at which time police allege Grenton stabbed Bombard in the chest with a steak knife before fleeing.

Shriners’ Circus coming to Plattsburgh Sept. 12

By Teah Dowling

ners of Troy, NY, an organization created to help children, whether it be making them smile or helping them heal.

teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ Come one and come all, family and friends, children and elders, to the Shrine Circus. Ò We have been using this particular circus for about four years,Ó said Barry Trasacco, circus chairman. Ò ItÕ s a good family circus.Ó Ô SHRINE CIRCUSÕ The Shrine Circus will be coming to Plattsburgh Sept. 12 with two showings at 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. at the Cumberland 12 Cinemas Field.

At the circus, there will be a trapeze, juggling and other acts. There will also be clowns and an array of animals such as dogs, ponies, llamas, camels and horses.

The cost for adults is $12 per ticket, and children 12 and under are free. Ò Shriners are known for their circuses for the children,Ó Trasacco said. Ò Everything is about the children.Ó The circus will be put on by the Oriental Shri-

Ô SHRINER HOSPITALSÕ There are 22 Shriners children hospitals around the country, including 19 orthopedic hospitals and three burn units that help children in specific areas of care such as orthopedics, cleft lip and palate, burn care and spinal cord injury. Ò ItÕ s for the children,Ó Trasacco said. Ò ThatÕ s what it boils down to.Ó The organization has treated orthopedic conditions since the founding of their first hospital in 1922. With a large full-time staff of pediatric orthopedic surgeons in the United States, as well as a comprehensive team of physical, occupational, speech and other therapists, they are able to provide customized care to each child.

In the 1960s, the Shriners started to treat burn survivors and have pioneered some of the most significant advances in burn care, providing advanced care for burn injuries, scarring, physical

rehabilitation and emotional support.

They were the first health care system in the country to develop spinal cord injury rehabilitation centers designed for children. As for their cleft lip and palate reconstruction program, each treatment plan is crafted uniquely for the child by a team of experts working together to improve a childÕ s eating, breathing, communication, self-esteem and appearance.

into different establishments in different areas. Ò There are other temples from different jurisdictions throughout the country,Ó Trasacco said. Ò Our jurisdiction runs from Troy, NY, as for north as Champlain as far west as Amsterdam.Ó

Ô SHRINER HISTORYÕ Before the circus, hospitals and Oriental Shriners came to be, a group formed known as the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine (A.A.O.N.M.S.), also known as Shriners, in 1870.

During this time, a group of Masons gathered frequently for lunch at the Knickerbocker cottage on Sixth Avenue in New York City. At a special table on the second floor, a group of men met regularly, including Walter Fleming and William Ò BillyÓ Florence.

Eventually, A.A.O.N.M.S. became known as Shriners International and began breaking off

Ô SHRINERS BROTHERHOODÕ Shriners are a brotherhood of men committed to family, engaged in ongoing personal growth and dedicated to providing care for children and in families in need.

Although Shriners International is a brotherhood, it is also an organization focused on bringing families together, helping children, promoting shared values and helping develop the next generation of community and business leaders. Ò This group formed basically to help children,Ó Trasacco said. Ò ThatÕ s what itÕ s all about.Ó To learn more about the circus, the Oriental Shriners or Shriners International, go to their website orientalshriners.org ororientalshrinecircus.com.

city hierarchy, and would like to play a more active role as far as liaisoning with the city for downtown events.

“We have to figure out a way to be the lead agency for Downtown. I feel that we donÕ t have that kind of relationship just yet,Ó Read said. Ò IÕ d like to have more of a coordinating function. WeÕ ve got to get that legitimacy.

He added that he would like to see PlattsburghÕ s mayor at association meetings, and that he has been invited to every meeting.

Aaron Benner suggested the possibility of melding the alphabet soup of numerous civic groups like the Downtown Association, First Weekends, Plattsburgh Renewal Project and Vi-

sion 2 Action into one group, and having each former group acting as a sub-committee. These groups, he said, seem to have numerous overlapping functions. The idea was debated sporadically, but seemed to garner little traction.

Before closing the meeting, Read summed up the feeling of many downtown business owners. Ò In the last two years there has been far more energy than in the last 10 years combined. You have to a leap of faith at some point. WeÕ ve never done that in downtown, it always gets squashed before that.Ó The next meeting is scheduled for the third Monday of September.

Plattsburgh Downtown Association debates its future

By Shawn Ryan

shawn@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Plattsburgh Downtown Association held its monthly meeting this week, and ideas for the future of the organization ran the gamut from increasing their web presence to pairing with the several other civic organizations with seemingly overlapping agendas.

The association is currently operating without a president, as former president Colin Read stepped down at last monthÕ s meeting. Since nobody has stepped into that role yet, the meeting was run by Read, who is actively canvass-

ing for a new president.

Read opened the meeting with an update on the ongoing effort to open a historical trail through the city, and the erection of dozens of historical markers, saying that the city has been working with the association and should begin to put up the markers soon. Ò WeÕ re just excited to pair with the Plattsburgh Downtown Association. ItÕ s just another reason to come downtown and stay downtown,Ó said Joshua Kretser, city counselor for the downtown business district.

Read said that while the Association has a good relationship with the city, he doesnÕ t feel that they are considered and integral part of the

CFES: Six schools in region recognized PLATTSBURGH Ñ Six Adirondack schools are among 33 schools nationwide that are beginning the new school year by celebrating last yearÕ s success. College For Every Student (CFES), a global leader in helping underserved students get to and through college and ready to enter the workforce, is honoring 33 schools in nine states and Ireland as Ò Schools of DistinctionÓ for raising aspirations and creating high levels of college readiness for their students.

The award-winning schools are Crown Point Central, Keeseville Elementary, Peru Central, Plattsburgh High, Ticonderoga Central and Willsboro Central. Ò We are very proud of these six schools,Ó said CFES President and CEO Rick Dalton. Ò Being an organization based in the North Country, we have a strong commitment to our Adirondack neighborsÕ schools and we take great pride in the accomplishments of our educators and Scholars in promoting and developing college readiness and success.Ó

The Ò School of DistinctionÓ award recognizes CFES schools that have exemplary programs incorporating the three CFES core practices: Mentoring, Leadership through Service, and Pathways to College and promote college readiness for all students.

Attaining Ò School of DistinctionÓ status recognizes a successful year-long journey to build college readiness school-wide. Ò This yearÕ s award winners have developed some of the best activities weÕ ve seen in the last five years,” said Steve Boyce, who leads the Ò School of DistinctionÓ program.

Through end-of-the-year portfolios and final reports, photos, statistics, writing samples, schools document the impact and power of their work. Ò These awardwinning schools are not only helping their Scholars become college ready,

theyÕ re also lifting up schools across the country and beyond by sharing their best practices,Ó said Dalton.

Crown PointÕ s student leadership team, for instance, organized an afternoon of fun to rally their grade 7-12 peers around college. In between the chorus of 100 student voices shouting Ò College For Every Student,Ó Scholars met with a dozen college representatives who shared admissions strategies and learned about campus life.

The crowd participated in zumba and listened to a professional singer/songwriter who sang and talked about the importance of a college education: Ò So many doors will be opened for you because of the people you meet and the education you receive in college. Make it happen!Ó

Opinion North Countryman Editorial

A board of legislators: We deserve a study

A

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 CountyÕ 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 CountyÕ 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 donÕ t take our word for it Ñ 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. ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Here we go again To the Editor: Here we go again: First touting arts and crafts would attract tourists to Westport, added Champlain Trails, Rolling Hills and the Polo Grounds.

All promised by promoters that visitors would beat a path to Westport (my spin on their words), money spent, businesses thrive, many employed.

Now Historic Designation, working through SHPO, would solve the financial problems of Westport to ensure a viable community year-round.

Chasing our tail, again?

Our time and treasure would be better spent enticing new business that produced product year-round, a step up from cottage industries very much compatible with tourism and the second-home industries that bring in sales (and money) 12 months of the year. It takes thought, but it can be done if the people of our community are committed.

Style & Substance: Children of today are acting more entitled I am 26 years old, live locally and have just started my career. I am wonderingÉ do children today act more entitled than children from other generations? So often I hear teachers, parents, grandparents, just so many people complaining about Ò children today.Ó I see young children with expensive phones and other electronic games and I see teens walking with a group of friends and everybody is texting instead of talking with each other. All of this scares me as I pay close attention to the responsibility of adulthood and think about having children. What are your thoughts?

When people refer to Ò children todayÓ it usually is in negative terms! Technology and the family is an issue that parents may not consider early enough and suddenly it gets away from them without any Ò rulesÓ in place. Very often family structure is blamed for Ò children todayÓ which really means that families are so busy, parents forget to parent.

Truthfully, and more accurately, to define a traditional family today is nearly impossible in terms of structure; blended families, single parent families, two parent families Ð same and different genderÉ are all families making up the definition of “normal.” Whatever the structure, children need support, love, guidance, and routine in order to grow into responsible adults. They also need these same guidelines to be happy children.

Between us we have seven children, three for Sally and four for Michele, so we have spent a lot of time contemplating this idea. Parenting tends to change a bit from generation to generation due to shifts in culture, economics, and experience. However, a few basic rules of civility never go out of style.

A fundamental truth: with rights come responsibilities: this is a code by which we have raised our children and find is a code that works for all families and all situations. For us, this is the definition of discipline. We believe that children, from a very young age, can achieve reasonable expectations for their be-

havior and actions. For example, a young child has the right to a safe place to play but that same child also has the responsibility to pick up toys in this space and to share those same toys.

When parents do not hold a child to the responsible part of the equation, then the child begins to live from a point of expectation rather than thankfulness. Think of the adults who still live their lives this wayÉ ..do we need to say more?

When children are called to regular, everyday responsibilities, they expect to be accountable and share in the well being of their family, reducing “entitlement” significantly.

Holding our children accountable also helps build their self-confidence. Children want to be needed. True competence is built through successful completion of a task or chore. While this idea is quite simple, it is so often overlooked.

Failure is acceptable and is a natural part of learning. Parents who raise children with this strategy do not raise entitled children, they raise children who are contributors, inquisitive, open, and forgiving of self and others. Children can and should begin taking part in the daily

routines of family life at an early age. Three and four year olds can set the table, pick vegetables or flowers from the garden, or clean up a small area. Seeing a task from start to finish builds a sense of pride in oneÕ s work. The key is engaged parents who create routines that work for the whole family.

Start watching adults to see if they too are Ò disconnectedÓ or Ò distractedÓ from the group they are supposedly Ò withÓ É .do they constantly listen to voice mails, Ò make a quick callÓ , or read or send texts? They are the teachers/the modelers/the acceptors of this behavior in their children. We recommend a few easy rules for you to incorporate currently or for families trying to disconnect from technology and reconnect with humanity.

• No phones or computers after a certain time in the evening; we recommend 9 pm. Have kids hand them in and put yours with away too. Model what you want.

• If someone, children included, is/are using technology, donÕ t speak to them at that moment. Along with thisÉ wait until they are done

or say something as simple as, Ò IÕ d like to talk when you are not distracted.Ó • Simple policies such as; No phones at the table! Keep phones on silent! And nicely remind when necessary.

Communication, face to face, is a bridge to healthy relationships. While most of us use email, texts, twitter, and other forms of electronic media, real conversation is an ageless form of civility. People want to chat, laugh, listen, and connect. Remember, breaking a bad habit is almost always more difficult than forming a good one. If you set the stage for communication from a young age, your future children will know what your expectation is and will rise to the standard. If there are no phones at the table, always, then staring at a screen during a meal is a non-issue. Parents get to decide.

Remember that Ò children todayÓ also have great qualities; they are curious, intelligent, healthy minded, spiritual, goal oriented, carefree, caring and fearless.

He could stand to gain a few pounds and needs to learn some leash manners, but he is an all around good dog.

events for the more than two weeksÕ worth of events.

GottschallÕ s picture was chosen from about 150 submissions.

Each year, fourth grade students from around the area are asked to submit artwork, one of which will become that yearÕ s admission button.

Gottschall is a student at Momot Elementary School.

Northern Tier

Well before the commemoration makes it to Plattsburgh, events and re-enactments are scheduled from Champlain to Beekmantown, where important land battles took place that slowed the British advance 200 years ago. Ò Before Labor Day there will be quite a few goings on in Chazy. Ò If folks could get there that would be wonderful,Ó said event Co-Chair Gary VanCour.

Events kick off on Sept. 29. On Aug. 30, the March of the British will start in Champlain at 8 a.m., and re-enactors will march from Champlain to Chazy along Route 9, retracing the steps of the invading British army. Ò On the 200th we will be doing commemorations at Dewey Tavern in Champlain, Culver Hill in Beekmantown and HalseyÕ s Corners outside Plattsburgh,Ó said VanCour.

Re-enactments on both the land, including Crab Island, and on Lake Champlain will be a cornerstone of the commemoration. For the first time ever, a re-enactment will lead the parade through the streets of downtown Plattsburgh and over the Saranac River, tracing the retreat of American troops in the face of superior British forces.

Organizers are cautioning people with young children who might be susceptible to loud noise to plan appropriately.

Music Festival

Along with the numerous re-enactments, 22 music shows will take place in and around Plattsburgh.

“We figured it comes down to 68 cents per event,” said concert organizer Keith Lund. Ò We have spent the largest budget weÕ ve ever had on music this year. We also have some of the greatest venues I think possible in the North Country.Ó Lund warns that though the buttons provide admission to the music events, they do not guarantee a seat, so people should arrive early.

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

I

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.
