Ward walks boost health activity in P’burgh

This Week Murder-suicide in Ellenburgh

By Teah Dowling teah@denpubs.com PLATTSBURGH Ñ The Plattsburgh Renewal Project, in partnership with the Plattsburgh City SchoolÕ s Health Education Advisory Committee, is hosting a sixweek health program to boost healthy activity and city beautification through a walking tour of all six city wards. Ò I had the idea based on my knowledge that I needed a walking partner,Ó said Anita Bodrogi, project organizer for the ward walks and member of the Plattsburgh Renewal Project. Ò I love to exercise, walk or jog, but I do a lot better when I have a partner that IÕ m obligated to.Ó Ò So, I thought maybe something like a group walk would

Co-op theatre East bringing talent to the north Country By Teah Dowling teah@denpubs.com CHAZY Ñ Co-Op Theatre East (COTE), the New York-based theatre ensemble, will begin a series of theater activities in the North Country in August. They will be establishing their North Country Theatre Initiative, hoping to expand it in the near future. Ò With our North Country Theatre Initiative, weÕ re essentially starting from the same place as when we started the company on 2008,Ó said Robert Gonyo, co-founder of COTE. Ò WeÕ ve got artists excited to make and share work but little by way of resources. Ò Any proceeds, after costs, are going back into the project to make more and better theatre in the North Country.Ó

Ô NEW PLAYÕ The new play, Ò Season to Taste,Ó corroboratively created by Robert Gonyo and COTE Ensemble Members Laura Iris Hill and Anna Savant, will start off the North Country Theatre Initiative that will be presented at three differ-

ent venues. The new play will be performed at Amazing Grace Vineyard in Chazy July 31 at 7 p.m, Opera House at Enosburg Falls Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. and BluSeed Studios in Saranac Lake Aug. 2 at 7 p.m. Tickets will be available at the door, and cost is $10. At a local grocery store, Evie, a 15-year-old teenager played by Savant, works to avoid being home all summer. At this time, Evie begins to navigate how things are going to be different in her life, at home and at school, when her older brother goes off to college. Single mother Sam, played by Hill, works at the grocery store because itÕ s a place where she was able to get a job to support her daughter, whom she had very young. Ò ItÕ s a story about real people with real concerns that builds a friendship that is unlikely based upon age difference and situations,Ó Savant said. Ò However, these people are able to help each other and give each other hope for their futures.Ó Through coffee, crises and home-cooked recipes, this drama wrapped in comedy explores CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

ELLENBURGH Ñ On July 26, at about 8 p.m., the New York State Police received a request from a woman asking them to check on the welfare of her sister, who lived in Ellenburgh. A Trooper responded and located the two residents of 1568 Bradley Pond Road, Ellenburgh, deceased inside the residence. The scene was secured and processed by the State Police Forensic Investigation Unit. The deceased have been identified as Pamela A. Williamson, 44, and Larry C. Williamson, 58. They both resided at that Bradley Pond Road farmhouse. According to State Police, the evidence collected is consistent with an apparent murder-suicide. The incident remains under investigation, and State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations are piecing together a time line leading up to the two deaths, according to BCI Captain Robert LaFountain. Autopsies were performed July 28 at CVPH Medical Center under the direction of Clinton County Coroner David Donah. The autopsy results of Mrs. Williamson showed that she was killed by gunshot wound to the head. Donah ruled her death to be a homicide. The results of Mr. WilliamsonÕ s autopsy showed that he was killed by a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Both wounds were caused by a shotgun that Mr. Williamson had recently purchased, which was located next to his body. Troopers say that Mr. Williamson murdered his wife, then took his own life. They say the couple had recently been experiencing marital trouble.

Ward Walks From page 1

get people to get out and exercise,Ó she said. Even though the walks started July 21, the two-mile walks will occur daily Monday through Friday starting at 6 a.m. at different parks in each ward rain or shine for five weeks. Both Bodrogi and her sister, Cynthya Spencer, will take part in each walk, showing the community what Plattsburgh has to offer when being looked at on foot. Ò My sister and I walk around Plattsburgh, and itÕ s so beautiful,Ó Bodrogi said. Ò When you drive through it, you can miss it, but if youÕ re walking the streets, the architecture is really quite lovely, and thereÕ s a lot unique structures, unique homes, and we would always appreciate them.Ó Ò Because IÕ m part of the Plattsburgh Renewal Project, and one of our goals is trying to improve the quality of life for the people in Plattsburgh, this idea of getting out and appreciating what we have was very important to me,Ó she said. Another thing that inspired Bodrogi to pitch the idea of a town-wide walk to the Plattsburgh Renewal Project was when two friends made the goal of walking every street in Plattsburgh. Bodrogi said she wasnÕ t sure if they did accomplish their mission but thought that it was a very clever idea. When the time came for the group to discuss the matter, Spencer came up with the idea to call the walking-series the Ò ward walks,Ó walking through all six wards in Plattsburgh and meeting at six of the 17 designated parks in each ward in Plattsburgh to create a new healthy environment. Ò People should walk because many studies have been done on exercise to show that walking gives the same benefit as jogging,” Bodrogi said. “This kind of exercise is perfect.” Bodrogi said that walking is not only the cheapest type of exercise a person can do, but gives a person great psychological benefits and creates a way of getting to know neighbors, establishing an overall better and healthier community and potentially adding a new system to the town. Ò One of the things weÕ re hoping to develop out of this walk is a construction of a walking school bus, which is an idea thatÕ s been tried a lot in cities to encourage kids to get more exercise,Ó Bodrogi said. Ò If we can see how convenient it would be to where these bus stops could be, we could create a walking school bus.Ó A walking school bus consists of a group of children walking to school with one or more adults. It can be as informal as two families taking turns walking their children to school to as structured as a route with meeting points, a timetable and a regularly rotated schedule of trained volunteers. By the research that the group has done so far, theyÕ ve discovered that the longest point to the nearest school in Plattsburgh is 1.7 miles away, which is a 15 or 20 minute walk. Ò We live in an incredibly walkable city,Ó Bodrogi said. Ò What the ward walk is trying to do is reignite that feeling in our community of being a walking city versus a driving city.Ó A map of each walk and starting point can be found on the Plattsburgh Renewal ProjectÕ s Facebook page as well as the City of Plattsburgh Recreation DepartmentÕ s website. To find out certain streets located in each ward, visit the City of Plattsburgh’s website at http:// www.cityofplattsburgh-ny.gov/Departments/VoterDistricts. For more information, contact Bodrogi at 917-699-5607 or visit the Plattsburgh Renewal ProjectÕ s Facebook page or the City of Plattsburgh Recreation DepartmentÕ s website. Ò WeÕ re keeping it simple to get going,Ó Bodrogi said. Ò Hopefully, it will grow into something thatÕ s more inspiring to get people on their own two feet.Ó

the difficult choices people make and the people who try to help make it better, something people do today in real life. Ò We all carry our concerns around with us, and we think weÕ re the only ones who are suffering,Ó Savant said. Ò I think a story like this is one that you can say Ô yes, I felt like that.Õ Ó Ô MORE PERFORMANCESÕ The Strand Center for the Arts will host a class taught by Gonyo on Forum Theatre techniques for students ages 12 to 18. This theater-making experience focuses on bodily expression and movement, while encouraging class participants to think creatively and collaboratively to problem-solve and develop their own piece of theater. Ò What I particularly love about the kind of class that IÕ ll be teaching is it encourages practitioners to tell their own stories and explore issues that they find important in their lives,” Gonyo said. Ò Shakespeare, Chekhov [and] all the great playwrights wrote plays with characters and stories that audiences still find fascinating to watch and can identify with, [but] there’s a difference between hearing someone elseÕ s words and saying your own.Ó Classes will be held Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays Aug. 4 to 27 from 10 a.m. to noon. The cost of registration is $120, and need-based scholarships are available. There will be a final performance by the kids in the Forum Theatre class in the Strand Theatre, featuring pieces that they themselves have written. The exact date is currently unknown, as it depends on the venueÕ s schedule. William ShakespeareÕ s Ò A Midsummer NightÕ s DreamÓ will be performed at the Amazing Grace Vineyard in Chazy Aug. 22 at 6:30 p.m, Aug. 24 at 3 p.m, Aug. 29 at 6:30 p.m. and Aug. 31 at 3 p.m. for $20 per ticket. Ô COMPANY HISTORYÕ COTE was co-founded by Clinton County Native Gonyo along with Ashley Marinaccio and Casey Cleverly in 2008 who all met in a graduate program in Performance Studies in NYU. “[There was] lots of thinking, lots of talking and fascinating ideas flying around but not many outlets to put those ideas into practice while we studied for a year,Ó Gonyo said. Ò So, right after the program ended, we decided, as people interested in making theatre, to form a theatre company that grew from the ideas we studied. Ò Starting a theatre company in New York City is both remarkably simple and incredibly difficult.” Immediately, the company put out a call for plays, thinking they might find a few people they liked to produce a short play festival, in which they had received around 150 submissions of actors willing and eager to make new work. Even though they didnÕ t have a lack for people and plays, Gonyo said they had no money. They snagged rehearsal space at NYU, raided their closets for costumes, wrote press releases and promoted the companyÕ s performances themselves. Ò We just made it work because we really wanted it to happen,Ó Gonyo said. From the company came the COTE Ensemble, which is a group of resident artists who meet regularly for workshops rehearsals and performances. COTE has created and performed a number of murder-mystery dinner performances at places like the Butcher Block, Elks Lodge and elsewhere around Plattsburgh, Altona and Champlain over the past few years in collaboration with Woodmen of the World. Ò We donÕ t have large name recognition or a local group of artists in the area yet,Ó Gonyo said Ò However, if...when, these classes and performances are successful, we hope to grow a group of theatre artists and audiences excited to make more work in the future, so, next year, we can expand the program [with] more performances, more artists involved, more classes [and] just more theatre.Ó For more information on the performances or the class, contact Gonyo at 518-578-2506 or robby@cooptheatreeast.org.

Opinion North Countryman Editorial

Overtime costs, shift changes A and a missing person

eading up to 4th of July weekend the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department led an investigation of a missing boater off the shores of the town of Hague. Most of the readers in our southern circulation are familiar with the story of William Scott. For those that may not be, here is the history in brief; Scott, of Westerlo, New York, went missing July 1 when the boat he was riding in with two other men capsized. The initial call for emergency response came in to Warren County Emergency services at approximately 10 a.m. The Warren County SheriffÕ s Department arrived on scene within 30 minutes of the initial call and spearheaded the search for the missing man. Rescue efforts included a state police helicopter, Lake George Park Commission boats and staff including scuba units from Warren and Saratoga counties. The search went on for four days, and on Friday, July 4 divers recovered ScottÕ s body. Denton Publications enlisted a staff reporter to cover the search efforts, and, as a result, many questions stemmed from the handling of the initial critical hours of the rescue. By 6 p.m. July 1, the Warren County SheriffÕ s boat patrol left the scene and the search did not resume until 9 a.m. the following morning. Why? With three hours left of daylight in the first 12 hours of a search, would efforts be called off so early? And sunrise the following day was at 5:17 a.m. so why did search efforts not resume until 9 a.m.? Is it staffing issues? Overtime costs? Were efforts made to ask other departments to assist? These are the questions we have been asking ourselves since. In late June, Warren County SheriffÕ s Department announced changes to their boat patrol program. Sheriff Bud York hired seven retired police officers to work part-time for the Sheriff’s office manning boat patrols on the lake and other area smaller tributaries. In an interview with the Glens Falls Post Star, York stated that “this will allow the full-time officers, who served on the boat patrol, to stay on the road cutting overtime costs for the department.Ó In the same interview, York also said Òt his should allow for more complete coverage of the busy lake because the boat patrol officers won’t be juggling road shifts as well. We will have coverage on the lake for all of the firework shows.” During the same time period, the town of Ticonderoga Police Department was stripped

of nearly half its force when three officers accepted lateral transfers into the Warren County SheriffÕ s Department. Staffing for the department doesn’t appear to be an issue. That leaves overtime costs. In 2012, the department was taken to task by the Warren County Board of Supervisors over overtime costs incurred by officers working events in the region. In the report provided by then SheriffÕ s Maj. C. Shawn Lamouree, $101,000 in overtime costs were a result of officer presence at local events that did not provide reimbursement to the department. It is our understanding that a majority of the department works 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. shifts. This would explain the sheriffÕ s prompt departure from the Hague scene at 6 p.m, allowing adequate time to return their boat to its proper location, secure its equipment and clock out for the day right around 7 p.m. In a search with these parameters, the first day is normally considered to be a rescue attempt, and information provided to the SheriffÕ s Department was that Scott left the vessel with a life preserver. It would be a fair assumption to believe that after eight hours he still may have been alive, especially considering the last visual sighting of the man was of him above water. It may have been the collective decision of the SheriffÕ s Department to leave the scene vacant in order to save on overtime costs, but other options were certainly at play. In rescue attempts throughout the region, other local emergency personnel have been called in to assist when time limitations of divers, or above waters efforts, were exhausted. Groups such as the state police dive team or water rescue teams from fire departments throughout the region are utilized. Other options could have included aerial rescue efforts and local fire and rescue units that have active boats on the water including Hague, Bolton, Horicon, etc. Weeks later, there is certainly no way of knowing if the search had continued past 6 p.m. July 1 if the outcome would have been different. Nevertheless, if the possibility exists of finding a living person rather than a body, shouldnÕ t every last effort be exhausted in doing so, regardless of cost? ÑD

Letters to the Editor

Editorial got it right To the Editor: 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 canÕ 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 shouldnÕ t have had access to the guns in the first place. It is time to place the blame squarely where it belongsÉ 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.

Style & Substance: Advice on throwing a dinner party Dear style & substance: My husband and I are in our mid thirties and feel like we donÕ t even know how to throw a dinner party. We are invited about once a month to other couples houses and never reciprocateÉ it seems very intimidating. How do we get started on this? We really want to welcome and share our home with our friends. We believe that you should begin with low threat and work up to what you would consider a high threat situation! The more relaxed you are, the more fun you and your guests will have. What people enjoy most is lively conversation, a pretty setting, a nice mix of people, and your genuine joy in breaking bread. Often times, the meal is the Ò high threatÓ part of the situation. To lessen any anxiety you may be experiencing, try mixing some new foods in with dishes with which you are familiar and comfortable preparing. Summer is a great time to throw a partyÉ . Fresh food is plentiful and a summer sky sets the stage for easy conversation and a happy and relaxed energy. Once you plan the menu, you can then begin to get the house and yard set. While summer evenings in the North Country are luxurious for humans, those same summer evenings offer a feast for bugs. When planning the flow of the party, be sure to easily shift activity and the meal in a way that guests can easily transition to an indoor setting if refuge is called for. Think about a guest list - keeping the group between 8 to 10 people offers a setting for individual and group conversations. Ask a couple of Ô key peopleÕ about available dates before you send invitations to all guests. This strategy will save you from having to reschedule due to busy schedules. Be sure to send invitations 2-3 weeks in advance of your gathering. While spontaneity is fun, it can also be the fun killer of a party if no guests are able to attend due to short notice. Ô Key peopleÕ are those steadfast friends that you know well and can easily pitch in to make the night more manageable. Remember, your guests want to spend time with you, they do not want to see a tired and frazzled cook. Keep the meal manageable by preparing as many dishes as you can before the party is set to start. We encourage you to use the essential tool of summer: the grill. Peruse the farmerÕ s market the week before; so you have an idea of what is available. Simple, colorful and flavorful are your best bets! Fresh foods in summer are treats to be savored, your guests will agree. Keep preparations simple and let the food speak for itself.

Don’t forget to join us for:

body, mind & spirit Summer series

DrinksÉ kicking off the night with a special drink can really get everyone in a festive mood! Champagne with a dash of raspberry liqueur or an island rum drink can be great starters. As the party progresses, offer the opportunity for guests to switch over to an easy selection of seltzers, wine and beer. A toast and a blessing are nice additions, that regardless of spiritual beliefs, everyone has so much for which to be thankful! Interactive toasts are our personal favoritesÉ pose a quick question and let your friends add a few words.
