Connection notices will be mailed on Tuesday, February 26 to all property owners south of the road-side rest on Ohio 7 North, except for residents of Myrtle Avenue and Georges Creek Road, according to Gallia County Administrator Karen Sprague. Property owners will have 90 days from the date of the letter to connect to the sewer system, and, once the 90 days has expired, will begin receiving bills whether they are actually connected to the sewer or not. A sample letter provided by Sprague states that property owners may begin the connection process immediately and may either perform the construction work themselves, if they are an approved sewer contractor through the Gallia County Health Department, receiving a license and permit for the work, or utilize the services of a sewer contractor licensed through the health department. A list of these healthdepartment approved contractors will be attached to the connection letter and provided to the property owners, according to the information provided by Sprague, and it is recommended that homeowners obtain at least two estimates before deciding on what contractor will make their connection into the sewer system. Licensed contractors must obtain a permit to perform any installations, and, all connections must be inspected and pass all health department tests. The property owner will be responsible for the correctness of their connections into the county’s system, according to the See SEWER ‌| A2 Bond set at $200k for substitute teacher Beth Sergent Nathan Jeffers PPRnews@civitasmedia.com Photo courtesy Ohio Department of Transportation ODOT snowplows are loaded with salt and ready to go in advance of a forecasted snow storm earlier this season. ODOT snow and ice operation — a science and an art Staff Report GDTnews@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — Sodium chloride, better known as salt, is not only great for bringing out the flavor of a delicious roast, but for the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) it is the best tool for melting snow and ice to keep highways safe during winter. Each year, the Gallia County ODOT Garage, with a fleet of 12 snowplows, uses about 2,200 tons of road salt during the months of October to March. In Meigs County, with 10 snowplows, the average for that time frame is 2,300 tons. Each snowplow is equipped with a calibrated salt spreader that, depending upon the road conditions, can be adjusted by the driver to ensure the right amount of salt is used at the right time. “Although salt is not the only See ODOT ‌| A2 Stephanie Filson l Daily Tribune When snowy weather hits the Ohio Valley area, ODOT crews load salt onto the snow plows using a front end loader.

Middleport awarded funding for sewage lagoon study Charlene Hoeflich choeflich@civitasmedia.com MIDDLEPORT — A grant of $100,000 has been awarded by the Ohio Department of Energy to Middleport to conduct a study on the feasibility of constructing a bio-diesel reactor and other energysaving improvements at the village’s sewage lagoons. The grant money can be used only for hiring a firm to do the engineering for the project geared toward determining whether or not it will work in the two 17-acre lagoons which have already been equipped with four Solar-Bee units which mix sewage flowing through the lagoons as it is chemically treated before going into the Ohio River. The proposed bio-diesel reactor would further cleanse the sewage, killing the bad algae, saving the good algae, so that when the fluid is dumped into the river, it is almost pure, devoid of all contaminates, MASON COUNTY — A substitute teacher hired by the Mason County Board of Education has been charged with two counts of sexual abuse by a parent, guardian or person in a position of trust to a child. James P. Hadinger, 43, Gallipolis Ferry, was arrested and charged Thursday after an investigation by the Mason County Sheriff’s Department. Hadinger appeared before Mason County Magistrate Gail Roush, also on Thursday, who set his bond at $200,000 — $100,000 for each count. He was then transported to the Western Regional Jail where, as of press time Friday, he remained. The criminal complaint filed in Mason County Magistrate Court alleges Hadinger, who has been a substitute teacher at Hannan Junior/Senior High School over the last several weeks, became involved with a female student. On Feb. 12, the complaint states Hadinger and the minor met at a local grocery store where the minor got into his truck, and the two traveled to Hannan Junior/Senior High School to watch a basketball game. Hadinger and the minor then reportedly left the game early with Hadinger driving to an abandoned house on Ball Chapel Rd. in Ashton where Hadinger engaged in sexual contact with the minor, according to the complaint. Deputy R. D. Spencer, who is also the Prevention Resource Officer at Hannan Junior/Senior High School, is investigating the case and filed the criminal complaint. A written confession was reportedly obtained from Hadinger, according to the complaint, though it should be noted he has not yet had a preliminary hearing at this point and has not entered a formal p l e a to the c h a rg es. A c cording to previous agendas and James P. Hadinger meeting minutes on the Mason County Board of Education’s website, Hadinger’s employment as a substitute teacher for the 201213 school year was approved on July 24, 2012. Hadinger was also approved on Nov. 13, 2012, as the seventh grade girls’ basketball coach, at Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School for the 201213 school year. Mason County Schools Superintendent Suzanne Dickens spoke with the Point Pleasant Register on Friday and released no further information on the board’s position or any action that will be taking place regarding Hadinger’s employment. Dickens noted when such information becomes available, it would first be released to the Point Pleasant Register. Following Thursday’s board meeting, Dickens released the following statement on the incident: “Confidentiality requirements prevent me from commenting upon or discussing any allegations of employee misconduct. In the event disciplinary action is taken against an employee by the Board, further information will be disclosed. However, I can say that anytime the district is confronted with allegations relating to the safety and welfare of students, the allegations are taken seriously, thoroughly investigated and that measures are taken to ensure that students are safe and not exposed to any continuing risk of harm.” The Mason County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office is also working on this case.

Should the engineering warrant moving forward on the proposed reactor project which would not only provide power for operating the system and reduce the cost of chemical treatment, but provide good algae to be sold by the village to fertilizer and other companies, then the village will move forward on seeking funding for the installation. “Hopefully the engineering (which is under way already) will prove the project is feasible,” said Mayor Mike Gerlach. He added that since environmental issues and new ways of addressing them are at the forefront for both federal and state government grant money Middleport’s project has a good chance of being funded if it is determined See LAGOON| A2 MEIGS COUNTY — One person has been arrested following the breaking and entering of the Meigs County Highway Garage on Monday. On Friday, a news release from the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office stated that Jason Peckham, 26, of Pomeroy, was taken into custody by Deputy Adam Smith. On Monday, the Meigs County Highway Department reported a Bobcat loader was stolen from inside the fenced area at the county garage facility. Smith conducted a preliminary investigation and was able to obtain video surveillance of the break-in and theft. A search of the area for the loader was unsuccessful. On Thursday, employees for the garage contacted the sheriff’s office and reported that someone had spotted the stolen Bobcat loader on Bunker Hill in Meigs County. Deputies Smith and Andy Myers responded and located the stolen Bobcat. At the residence, the loaders was recovered and information obtained which lead to the arrest of Peckham. Peckham is being held in the Meigs County Jail pending an appearance in Meigs County Court. �Sunday, February 24, 2013 deicing material we use, it is by far the most costeffective solution for controlling snow and ice,” says ODOT District 10 Deputy Director Steve Williams. Since the 1940s, all highway departments have used some form of sodium chloride to rid roadways of snow and stop the formation of ice. How does this natural resource actually melt snow and ice? We all know that as the temperature of water reaches 32 degrees Fahrenheit or zero degrees Celsius, ice forms. However, unlike other substances, ice is less dense than water and therefore freezes on the surface, which is why lakes and ponds freeze at the top first. The magic of salt is that it makes water more dense, and therefore the temperature at which ice forms in a salt-water solution needs to be colder than water’s natural freezing point. In fact, salt melts ice down to negative six degrees Fahrenheit. As most snowstorms occur between the temperatures of 32 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit, salt is by far the most effective means for melting snow and ice. However, when the pavement temperature gets too Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A2 W.Va. House panel Oks hiking pipeline safety fines ODOT From Page A1 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis cold, ODOT uses other deicing material such as calcium chloride which has a lower freezing temperature than salt. Although science can easily explain how salt keeps water from freezing, plowing snow is just as much an art as it is a science. For example, one area which requires an artful approach is that of predicting the weather. Or at the very least, being able to adapt to changing weather conditions, which in Ohio seem to change every minute. “From pretreating the roads to determining which deicing material to use, the weather determines everything we do,” says Williams. Williams also says that snowplowing itself requires years of experience and a “feel” for the roadway. Especially in heavy snowstorms with decreased visibility, drivers must rely not only on visual and physical queues, but an intimate knowledge of the roadway that they’ve gained from decades of plowing. With trucks road ready, salt barns stocked and drivers well trained, ODOT’s continued success of its snow and ice operation rests on the interplay between science and art. CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin’s quest for steeper pipeline safety fines following a December gas explosion near Charleston cleared its first hurdle on Friday, but only after lawmakers learned its impact may be limited. The House Judiciary Committee amended and advanced the governor’s bill after being told it would apply to just 10 percent of the pipelines that gather natural gas from well sites. Tomblin has proposed hiking fines per violation from $1,000 to $200,000, while the maximum civil penalty from a specific incident would increase from $200,000 to $2 million. The Public Service Commission would impose the fines as it inspects these non-rural gathering lines. Commissioner Ryan Palmer told the committee that the sort of incidents that would prompt maximum penalties have been rare over the last decade. Palmer said the Department of Environmental Protection oversees the remaining gathering lines, which are in rural areas. A federal agency, meanwhile, regulates interstate transmission lines. The fiery rupture of a transmission line in Sissonville late last year prompted Tomblin’s measure. No one was killed, but the resulting inferno destroyed four homes and a section of Interstate 77. It’s also spurred a federal inquiry by the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee, chaired by Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va. Lagoon From Page A1 feasible by the engineering firm. Gerlach emphasized that this could be of real financial help for Middleport because it would, “drastically reduce the cost of operation to the village.” The engineering study has to be completed by the end of September, according to the grant specifications. The Solar-Bee system, used in the village lagoons to stir the sewage which has to be treated with costly chemicals before being dumped into the Ohio River, was built with $181,400 in stimulus money three years ago. With a bio-diesel reactor, not only would treatment costs be reduced, but the fluid going into the river would Geese by the dozen swim around one of the Solar-Bees in the sewage lagoon. be practically devoid of contaminating material, and the good algae could be sold. As explained by Gerlach and Roberts, sewage going into the lagoons settles as it moves from one pond to the other, and it takes 120 days before it finishes settling out. The chlorine chemicals used to kill the bad algae and the required electricity to run the system come at a high cost to the village. With the proposed reactor system, enough electricity would be generated to run the whole system, Gerlach said. K-A Sewer Project during a Gallia County Commissioner’s meeting in late November. The bid, in the amount of $1,985,363, represents total completion of the project, according to information previously provided by the commission, and, depending upon a number of factors, completion is expected later this year. The county commission was given responsibility for the completion of the project after they received a $3.5 million check from the Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland, the former contractor’s bonding company, on October 5 of last year. Negotiations with the bonding company began shortly after the original contract for the construction of the sewer was terminated with the former contractor, Trimat Construction, just over a year ago. Following the termination of the original contract, the bonding company hired an outside contractor to “camera” and clear the entire gravity collection system in order to discover the areas in the project that need repaired/ replaced. The entire system that stretches through the Kanauga-Addison area of Gallia County consists of 60,000 linear feet of sewer line, and, as of December, approximately 13,000 feet of that line needed to be reconstructed. Construction on the system will be completed in phases, with property owners living in the most southern region affected by the sewer receiving connection notices first — as exemplified by the connection letters that will be mailed to residents this week. Additionally, the letter further outlines this systematic completion stat- ing that “overall completion” of the project is not complete and “operational acceptance from the contractor was given so that you could safety use the sanitary sewers immediately,” the letter reads. “A ‘Final Acceptance’ will occur later. At that time, we will accept all additional aspects of the contractor’s work including ditch re-grading, reclamation, re-seeding, pavement replacement and repairs, etc.” The Gallia County Commissioners office can be reached at (740) 446-4374 for questions regarding billing. The commissioners should also be contacted if residents observe septic haulers dumping septage into the county sewer system as this illegal practice can cause operational problems that may result in higher costs to the residents of the project.

We go for our daily walk, so I know he’s getting enough exercise, but when a retired guy in his 70s does nothing but watch TV, is that good for him?

It’s possible that he may resent your criticizing his shows — which he may truly enjoy — and trying to tell him what to do, when he thinks he and his brain are doing just fine. Your key to changing his behavior might be challenging him to a game of Scrabble or asking for help with the crossword puzzle. Don’t just drop him off at the door — see if you can spend a little time in his home and slowly introduce these activities, which can be an alternative to the TV screen. If you think he’d listen, you can tell him about a new study from the Rush University Memory and Aging Project, which is aimed at identifying risk factors for dementia. The findings reflected the trend that sees value in writing, reading and problem-solving games for older people. If he doesn’t like to be told what to do, get him a giant fail.

Try the nominations. They only last a few minutes, but it’s generally a sleepy academy suit and a sleepy starlet droning a list of names at 5:30 in the morning. Except last time. Some baby-faced guy took the stage, advised people who don’t know him to pretend he’s Donny Osmond, then stood beside sleepy starlet Emma Stone and cut loose with this line about best-picture nominee “Amour”: “I read ‘Amour’ was co-produced in Austria and Germany, right? The last time Austria and Germany got together and coproduced something, it was Hitler.” For good or bad, Oscar host Seth MacFarlane already has enlivened the awards scene. As emcee of a broadcast notorious for its predictability and geezer audience, MacFarlane may bring a cheekiness that prods younger viewers to check out the Oscars just to see what he might pull. But given his Hitler wisecrack, just how far will MacFarlane push it? “It’s a balance between not being completely dismissive of the ceremony, but at the same time, injecting a little bit of a lighter sensibility than maybe we’ve seen in the past,” said MacFarlane, the impudent creator of “Family Guy” and last summer’s potty-mouthed blockbuster “Ted.” ”The Oscars does have a history of taking itself so deadly seriously. And while it obviously is a ceremony that’s important to the people involved, you know we’re not curing cancer here. So if there’s any subtle reminder that I’ll try to inject into the show tonally, it would be that.” The most-beloved Oscar hosts — Billy Crystal, Johnny Carson, Bob Hope — are those who play it safe while managing to poke gentle fun at Hollywood, the awards and the nominees. With TV ratings generally declining over the last few decades, Oscar overseers have tried shaking things up, trying out new hosts and different ways of handing out prizes. The results have been mixed. Jon Stewart and Ellen DeGeneres earned polite praise as Oscar hosts. Chris Rock ruffled feathers with a few tart jabs but was mostly respectful. Hugh Jackman was charming and energetic, while Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were an able team as dual hosts. Another duo, Anne Hathaway and James Franco, were brought in two years ago to court young viewers. Hathaway was cute and perky, but Franco seemed to sleepwalk through the show. So last year, Oscar organizers lured back old stand-by Crystal, the most-popular among hosts of recent years. The show’s audience has inched up from its all-time low five years ago, when 32 million people watched the Oscars. But ratings remain well below the Oscar hey- day of decades ago, and no matter who’s the host, the show has never been able to shed its image as a marathon broadcast where rich and famous people hand out trophies to other rich and famous people. Enter MacFarlane, who’s not just a funny guy but a gifted singer, with a Frank Sinatra-style album of standards to his credit. “What I’m hoping for — like everybody else, the other billion people watching — is just that it’s the best show of all time and he’s the greatest host ever to have lived,” said former emcee Jackman, a bestactor nominee for “Les Miserables.” ”He’s going to nail it. I think he’s very funny.” Not everyone’s looking forward to a Seth-fest Oscars. “I’m not that big a fan of his,” said Alan Arkin, a supporting-actor winner for “Little Miss Sunshine” who’s nominated in the same category this time for “Argo.” ”I find him a little crude, more crude than necessary.” MacFarlane gave a taste of things to come Jan. 10, when he became just the second Oscar host to join the nominations announcement (Charlton Heston was the first, for the 1972 show). His early-morning shtick lasted just 10 minutes — a fraction of the often interminable Oscar show itself — but it brought a backlash from people wondering what sort of show might be expected from a guy whose chubby cartoon hero on “Family Guy” once was forced to strip off his shirt and moo like a cow while a woman pretended to milk his man-breasts. The Hitler joke aside, critics said MacFarlane disparaged women with a comment that supporting-actress nominees no longer had to pretend they’re attracted to Oscar kingpin Harvey Weinstein; belittled writers by saying adapted-screenplay contenders just cut-and-pasted from their source material; and slammed the directing picks as the “five people who are the very best at sitting in a chair watching other people make a movie.” Edgy or insulting? Some feel it’s just the jolt the stodgy Oscars need to get younger, hipper fans — the key audience for Hollywood films — to tune in. “The Oscars still remain the pinnacle of artistic achievement in film, and I think it will always be that,” said Jim Gianopulos, studio chairman at 20th Century Fox, whose Fox network airs “Family Guy” and MacFarlane’s other animated series, “American Dad” and “The Cleveland Show.” ”At the same time, I think it needs to be able to have a certain level of irreverence to be culturally relatable at this point, and I think Seth is the absolute perfect host to bring that.” Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said there’s no leash on MacFarlane — they’ll allow him to get as edgy as he wants.

Letter to the Editor: Out-of-town visitor disappointed in Mound Hill experience Dear Editor, Having been born and growing up in Gallia County, one of the most fond and beautiful memories I have is visiting Mound Hill Cemetery, with my parents, and looking out over the Ohio River. On a recent visit to Gallipolis, and going to Mound Hill (parents, et. al. are buried there), it definitely is only a memory. I find it impossible to understand how anyone could even think of destroying all of the beauty, to say nothing of the danger of driving up and down that un- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances. sightly hill. It is totally lacking any landscaping personality. How could anyone expect family members to even consider a burial site at what used to be one of the most beautiful spots in the entire Gallipolis area. I regret what I saw, but certainly do treasure the memories. I can only hope the revenue from those beautiful trees is being invested in a worthy cause. Sincerely, Neva J.

FDA officially approves new targeted breast cancer drug WASHINGTON (AP) — The Food and Drug Administration has approved a first-of-a-kind breast cancer medication that targets tumor cells while sparing healthy ones. The drug Kadcyla from Roche combines the established drug Herceptin with a powerful chemotherapy drug and a third chemical linking the medicines together. The chemical keeps the cocktail intact until it binds to a cancer cell, delivering a potent dose of anti-tumor poison. Cancer researchers say the drug is an important step forward because it delivers more medication while reducing the unpleasant side effects of chemotherapy. “This antibody goes seeking out the tumor cells, gets internalized and then explodes them from within. So it’s very kind and gentle on the patients — there’s no hair loss, no nausea, no vomiting,” said Dr. Melody Cobleigh of Rush University Medical Center. “It’s a revolutionary way of treating cancer.” Cobleigh helped conduct the key studies of the drug at the Chicago facility. The FDA approved the new treatment for about 20 percent of breast cancer patients with a form of the disease that is typically more aggressive and less responsive to hormone therapy. These patients have tumors that overproduce a protein known as HER-2. Breast cancer is the second most deadly form of cancer in U.S. women, and is expected to kill more than 39,000 Americans this year, according to the National Cancer Institute. The approval will help Roche’s Genentech unit build on the blockbuster success of Herceptin, which has long dominated the breast cancer marketplace. The drug had sales of roughly $6 billion last year. Genentech said Friday that Kadcyla will cost $9,800 per month, compared to $4,500 per month for regular Herceptin. The company estimates a full course of Kadcyla, about nine months of medicine, will cost $94,000. FDA scientists said they approved the drug based on company studies showing Kadcyla delayed the progression of breast cancer by several months. Researchers reported last year that patients treated with the drug lived 9.6 months before death or the spread of their disease, compared with a little more than six months for patients treated with two other standard drugs, Tykerb and Xeloda. Overall, patients taking Kadcyla lived about 2.6 years, compared with 2 years for patients taking the other drugs. FDA specifically approved the drug for patients with advanced breast cancer who have already been treated with Herceptin and taxane, a widely used chemotherapy drug. Doctors are not required to follow FDA prescribing guidelines, and cancer researchers say the drug could have great potential in patients with earlier forms of breast cancer Kadcyla will carry a boxed warning, the most severe type, alerting doctors and patients that the drug can cause liver toxicity, heart problems and potentially death. The drug can also cause severe birth defects and should not be used by pregnant women.

The Athens boys basketball team out rebounded Gallia Academy 41-to-18 Friday night en route to a 53-35 sectional final victory at Logan High School. The Bulldogs (19-4) took the early lead after out scoring GAHS (7-16) 19-to-7 in the opening canto. The Blue Devils answered back with a 17-to-6 run in the second period but trailed 25-24 at halftime. Gallia Academy was held to just three points in the third pe- riod, as Athens expanded its lead to 13 points with one quarter remaining. AHS closed the door on the Blue Devils with a 13-to8 over the final eight minutes, giving the Bulldogs the 53-35 victory and the sectional championship. The Blue Devils were led by seniors Justin Bailey and Cody Call with 10 points apiece. Reid Eastman chipped in with six points, Wade Jarrell finished with five, while Wes Jarrell added three. Jimmy Clagg rounded out the GAHS scoring with one point in the game. The Blue Devils rebounding attack was led by Bailey with seven boards, while Eastman finished with a team-high four assists. Eastman also led the Gallia Academy defense with four steals on the night.

Lady Eagles soar past Manchester, 64-27 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com JACKSON, Ohio — Defense wins championships … or at least it helps you get there. The Eastern girls basketball team limited Manchester to six made field goals while advancing to its third straight district championship game following a 6427 victory in a Division IV southeast district semifinal contest at Jackson High School. The top-seeded Lady Eagles (20-4) showed some jitters early on, as the fifth-seeded Lady Greyhounds (8-13) battled through three ties and six lead changes before coming away with an 11-10 advantage after eight minutes of play. Eastern allowed just one field goal in each of the next three periods of play, as the hosts went on a 24-4 surge in the second canto and never looked back in the 37-point triumph. EHS led by as many as 39 points in the contest. The Lady Eagles — which finished the season No. 10 in the final D-4 Associated Press Poll — will face third-seeded South Gallia in the Division IV district final at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 3, at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio. Eastern — the two-time reigning district champions with five straight district wins overall — defeated the Lady Rebels (195) in their two Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchups by scores of 63-25 and 73-44 during the regular season. Following the game, EHS coach John Burdette spoke about getting out of Jackson with a win while punching another ticket for Ohio University. “It’s exciting for us, for sure. Anytime you get to play a game at the Convo, it’s a big deal,” Burdette said. “We’ve played there a few times now, and we are looking forward to another one. “Everyone’s still chipper and still getting after it. We want to keep this thing going as long as we can.” Manchester led 2-0 and 4-3 three minutes into regulation, but EHS countered with a 7-2 spurt to claim its biggest lead of the opening canto at 10-6 with 3:08 remaining. MHS responded with a 4-0 run to pull even at 10-all with 2:01 left, then Haylee Adams sank a free throw with 48 seconds remaining to give the Lady Greyhounds their final lead of the night at 11-10. Eastern junior Jenna Burdette netted a trifecta 28 seconds into the second canto, giving the Lady Eagles a lead it would never relinquish. That threepointer also sparked a 6-0 run for a 16-11 cushion at the 5:53 mark. Haylee Adams nailed a three-pointer at the 5:39 mark to get the guests back to within a possession at 16-14, but EHS retaliated with an 18-0 charge for a 34-14 edge with 13 seconds left — its biggest cushion of the first half. Tess Burns hit a free throw with four seconds See EAGLES ‌| B2 Lady Rebels outlast Ironton St. Joe, 33-29 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com JACKSON, Ohio — Not necessarily pretty, but incredibly rewarding nonetheless. The South Gallia girls basketball team held off a late rally by Ironton Saint Joseph while earning just its second district championship appearance in school history Thursday night during a 33-29 victory in a Division IV district semifinal contest at Jackson High School. The third-seeded Lady Rebels (19-5) and the second-seeded Lady Flyers (19-4) battled through two ties and five lead changes in the opening half, but SGHS took a permanent lead with 4:10 left in the second canto after a Sara Bailey trifecta gave the guests an 8-5 cushion. Ironton St. Joe — which trailed 15-8 at the intermission — shot just 15 percent from the field (6-of-43) through three quarters and seven minutes of play, and the hosts trailed by as much as 29-18 with 57 seconds left in regulation. Then, the Lady Flyers caught fire — making their final four shots of the contest while trimming their deficit down to 31-29 with 10 seconds remaining. ISJHS, however, committed an intentional foul on the ensuing inbounds pass to Ellie Bostic, and the SGHS senior netted both free throws with 4.2 seconds left — allowing South Gallia to wrap up the four-point decision and the program’s first district championship game since the 1997-98 campaign. The Lady Rebels, with the win, will face top-seeded Eastern in the Division IV district final at 6 p.m. Sunday, March 3, at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio. South Gallia — which lost to North Adams in its only other district championship contest — lost to the Lady Eagles (20-4) in their two Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchups by scores of 63-25 and 7344 during the regular season. Following the game, SGHS coach Brett Bostic was excited that his troops found a way to win when the South Gallia freshman Mikayla Poling (00) dribbles past Ironton St. Joe defender Lynsey Booker (34) during the first half of Thursday night’s Division IV district semifinal contest at Jackson High School.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. — After two days of competition at the 66th annual WVSSAC state wrestling meet, Point Pleasant is ready to start spelling frustration with three A’s. The Big Blacks — who are making their first trip through the Class AAA circuit after winning three straight Class AA-A championships before this season — had only one grappler advance to a state final while placing seventh overall through Thursday and Friday matches at the Big Sandy Superstore in Cabell County. Point Pleasant started the three-day weekend with a dozen wrestlers, eight of whom won their opening contests on Thursday evening. By the time Friday night rolled around, PPHS was down to five grapplers in championship semifinals — but only one earned a spot in Saturday night’s grand finale. Senior Trevor Hill went 3-0 in the 170-pound weight class and will face Ripley senior Nick Starkey in the championship match Saturday night. Hill will be aiming for his first state title in wrestling, and he will also be aiming to extend Point’s state-champion streak to nine consecutive years. Hill picked up a default win over Keeten Asbury of Shady Spring in the opening round, then earned a 9-3 decision over Kyle Rogers of Lewis County to advance to Friday night’s semifinal. Hill competed against a Greenbrier East opponent who was eventually disqualified in the match, securing Hill’s spot Point Pleasant junior Guy Fisher, right, locks up with Shady Spring’s Johnny Forren during Friday night’s Class AAA 120-pound championship semifinal at the WVSSAC Wrestling Meet in Huntington, W.Va. in Saturday night’s main event.

Huntington leads the Class AAA field headed into the final day with 152.50 points, with Parkersburg (136.5), Ripley (115.5), Parkersburg South (102) and Washington (88.5) rounding out the top five spots. Senior Noah Searls and juniors John Raike, Guy Fisher and Brycen Reymond all had their championship hopes thwarted on Friday night with losses in their respective championship semifinal contests. Searls (138), Raike (113), Fisher (120) and Reymond (182) all own 3-1 marks headed into Saturday matches that could lead to as high a finish as third for each individual. That quintet, however, is all that is left for Point Pleasant headed into Saturday’s finale. Junior Josh Hudson (145) and sophomores Jacob Starcher (195) and Jacob Duncan (220) all ended their respective weekends with 2-2 overall records, while senior Micah Powell (126) and junior Caleb Leslie (106) had their two days come to an end with matching 1-2 marks. Senior Steven Porter and sophomore Austin Rutter both went winless in two matches in the 132and 152-pound divisions, respectively. PPHS grapplers own a collective 1918 overall record through two days of competition.

Wahama — which had a schoolrecord five grapplers qualify for this weekend’s Class AA-A state tournament — has already shattered the old marks for wins and points scored at a state tournament, as the White Falcons currently sit 10th overall in the team standings with 49 points. Wahama — which owns a collective overall record of 13-6 after two days of individual competition — has more than doubled the program’s pre- vious-best total of 23 points, as was set by third-place finisher Perry Ellis during the 2005 campaign. WHS will also have four grapplers competing in Saturday matches, although none of them will be competing for state titles.

Colton Neal — a first-time state qualifier — ultimately lost a 6-0 decision to Garrett Onderko of East Fairmont in that semifinal, eliminating any hopes of a state championship for the White Falcons. Neal currently sits 2-1 on the weekend and can fin- ish as high as third in the 182 division. Robie, Roush and Crandale Neal are also still eligible for third-place finishes, as the trio each sits 3-1 overall headed into Saturday competition. Robie (126) and Roush (160) are both state returnees from a year ago, while Crandale Neal is making his first state appearance in the 170-pound category.

For students at South Gallia High School, South Gallia Middle School and River Valley Middle School, that means spending a good deal of time with new art teacher, Kari Polcyn-LaBello. Angie Petrie is Polcyn-LaBello’s counterpart at River Valley High School. Polcyn-LaBello was hired in June of 2012 and started work for Gallia County Local Schools in the fall. She is no stranger to Gallia County, however. Polcyn-LaBello was born in Chicago but was raised in Gallia County. She went to Kyger Creek High School and earned a bachelor of science degree in 2-D Visual Art from the University of Rio Grande. She has been a steady presence in art exhibits all over the Ohio Valley region — a body of work that includes sculpture, ceramics, photography, mixed media and a host of other mediums. After deciding to teach, she gained an Alternate Resident Licensure in k-12 Visual Art. Polcyn-LaBello currently teaches five seventh grade classes, seven eighth grade classes and three high school classes with graduated levels 1-3, all in a staggered schedule throughout the week. Photos by Kari Polcyn LaBello The middle school classes are comprehensive and designed to introduce students to basic artistic skill, while South Gallia High School students play with lighting and costume during a recent Digital Design photo shoot. the high school classes are focused to provide more of a challenge in areas specifically of interest to students. Currently, SGHS students can choose from Digital Design, Ceramics and Mixed Media — or may take two of the three. “In Digital Design, we have a photo shoot every two weeks. Then I do the backdrop and makeup, and students design the project in terms of effects and the digitization of photos in [Adobe] PhotoShop,” said Polcyn-LaBello. “Then they owe me a project a week later.” In Polcyn-LaBello’s mixed media class, students are only limited by their own imaginations. The class has completed projects featuring books, boxes, chairs and paper castings. She said these paper molds have gone over exceptionally well with students. “They got so excited when we pulled the first mold yesterday,” said Polcyn-Labello on Friday. “They were so excited to see the result of their work. That’s what I like about teaching — watching students experience that This image is an example of a finished Digital Design student artwork. ‘aha’ moment.” Ceramics students have been busy with everything from tea pots to sculpture to cultural art re-creation. Polcyn-LaBello has been active in pooling resources to benefit Gallia County students. A pottery wheel was discovered in storage after Vinton Elementary’s art program, along with all K-6 art programs in the Gallia County Local School District, ended at the end of last year due to budget cuts. The school loaned the wheel to Polcyn-LaBello to support the county schools’ ceramics program. In addition, Resco, a clay foundry in Oak Hill, has repeatedly donated clay to the program completely free of charge. Polcyn-LaBello is enjoying applying her long-time art experience in her home county — where she began her love affair with art by doodling during church — and in the same school district where she further developed her artistic roots. She said she wants to push her students to be their best. Seventh graders at South Gallia created pieces of art that ex“I give them a lot of college level assignments, things I amine negative space. This lesson was taught at River Valley never got to touch until college,” said Polcyn-LaBello. “I Middle School, as well. want to give them a little more than just the high school experience.” Polcyn-LaBello said the countywide art show at the French Art Colony is on the horizon and will exhibit the best of 6-12 grade student work from March 8-March 31, with a public reception from 5-7 p.m. on opening night March 1. The best student work in a variety of mediums from grades 6-12 will be displayed in the show. In the meantime, Polcyn-LaBello will continue to juggle a very busy schedule filled with students eager to benefit from her experience. “I never wanted to do anything but art, but I had to find a way to make a living at it,” said Polcyn-LaBello. “Teaching allows me to continue to do what I love while hopefully encouraging the same love for art in my students.” Students stand in front of a white screen during Digital Design class so that they can more easily manipulate the back- Eighth graders at River Valley Middle School worked on a projground in Adobe PhotoShop. ect that required clay heads. Some were quite funny. Snowflake patters were pressed into clay to serve as a mold for beautiful glass snowflake Christmas ornaments.

Oscar animators ready to be taken seriously BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — In the animated feature film category at this year’s Oscars, there’s a film set in medieval Scotland, another that features old-school video game characters, one that relies heavily on dry British humor, while the other two take inspiration from the supernatural. It’s not exactly kid stuff — and that’s how the directors like it. “I think this year with these films — and so many more — the envelope for animation is being pushed,” said “Brave” director Mark Andrews at an Academy Awards event Thursday night honoring the animated feature film nominees. “We keep seeing more risky, deep films that we wouldn’t have seen 10 years ago coming out. I wanna be one of those guys pushing it more and more and more because it’s not only an awesome medium, but there’s so many more stories that we can tell.” The Scotland-set “Brave,” a darker fable from Pixar about a rebellious redheaded princess named Merida, will face off against four other animated films at Sunday’s 85th annual Academy Awards. The category was first introduced at the 2002 ceremony, with “Shrek” winning the inaugural trophy. Despite the less lighthearted tone of this year’s animated nominees, none cracked the best picture category for a spot alongside the likes of “Argo,” ”Lin- coln” and “Zero Dark Thirty.” (Only three animated films have ever been nominated for best picture at the Oscars: “Beauty and the Beast,” ”Up” and “Toy Story 3.”) “Edward Scissorhands” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas” mastermind Tim Burton could take home his first-ever Oscar at the Dolby Theatre ceremony for “Frankenweenie,” his black-and-white stop-motion film based on his 1984 live-action short film of the same name. “Frankenweenie” is among three of the five Oscar nominated films this year that employ stop-motion, the intricate and time consuming animation method that use miniature sculptures and sets. Despite a strong stop-motion presence at this year’s Oscars, Burton cited finances, not the omnipresence of computer animation, as the reason that more stop-motion films aren’t produced. “In the case of ‘Frankenweenie,’ it’s not like it was a studio wish-list todo: ‘Let’s make black-and-white stopmotion animation,’” said Burton. “You hope it can survive. We all love it.” The other stop-motion nominees are the English seafaring comedy “Pirates! Band of Misfits” from director Peter Lord and the undead tale “ParaNorman” from directors Sam Fell and Chris Butler. Cruise lawsuits are in, but Carnival has advantage MIAMI (AP) — Lawsuits are already filed in this month’s disastrous Triumph cruise ship voyage, but the legal deck is stacked in parent company Carnival’s favor, mainly because of the restrictive terms of vacationers’ tickets, governing who can sue and where. Cases involving the Triumph — which was disabled Feb. 10 by an engine fire that stranded thousands of passengers onboard for days in the Gulf of Mexico — and other Carnival Cruise Lines ships must be filed in South Florida federal courts, near the company’s Miami headquarters. The ship left from Galveston, Texas, for Mexico and eventually was towed to port in Mobile, Ala., after the fire. Passengers traveled from around the country for the trip. Maritime law experts said Thursday that pas- sengers could win despite the limitations if they can show that the cruise line was negligent in letting the ship sail despite past engine problems and that their mental suffering was so severe they had to seek medical or psychological care. “I think there is a good case of liability against Carnival. The issue really comes down to the damages,” said Robert Peltz, a maritime lawyer not involved in any Triumphrelated cases. Still, other attorneys cautioned it won’t be easy because of the way Carnival and others craft their cruise tickets — which are considered legally binding contracts often running several pages of fine print. “If the ship breaks down, consumers are dependent on the goodwill of the cruise lines, which drafted iron-tight terms and conditions which protect them from virtually all bad experiences,” said Jim Walker, a Miami maritime attorney and author of a blog called www. cruiselaw.com. Three passenger lawsuits were filed as of Thursday, one seeking class-action status for more than 3,000 passengers aboard the Triumph when the engine fire cut off all power and left them at sea for five days. Passengers say they endured terrible conditions on board, including food shortages, raw sewage running in corridors and tent cities for sleeping on deck. The lawsuit filed by passengers Matt and Melissa Crusan of Oklahoma says they “were fearful for their lives” aboard the 14-story ship. They said they and other passengers suffered nausea, headaches, insomnia and nightmares, made worse by Carnival’s decision to tow the Triumph to Mobile rather than to a closer port in Mexico. “This decision was motivated solely by financial gain and Carnival’s convenience,” says the lawsuit, filed by Miami attorney Michael Winkleman. The Carnival tickets for the Triumph cruise include a clause stating that class-action lawsuits cannot be filed against the company. But the Crusans’ lawsuit argues that the clause should be ignored because Carnival was negligent in letting the ship sail despite incidents in January that affected Triumph’s engines and propulsion. The other two lawsuits filed so far make similar claims but seek to represent individual passengers, both from Texas. Carnival spokeswoman Joyce Oliva said Thursday in an email that the com- pany does not comment on pending litigation. But she confirmed that Carnival did not require Triumph passengers to sign lawsuit waivers once in Mobile in exchange for refunds, a future cruise credit, reimbursement for some shipboard expenses and $500 per person. Those benefits would likely be deducted from any damages an individual passenger wins in a lawsuit. Maritime lawyers said there are three main legal hurdles passengers in a class-action case would have to clear: —A judge must decide the validity of Carnival’s class action waiver on its tickets. Courts typically uphold the terms of cruise line tickets, but not always. — Whether a class action is proper at all, given that injuries or illnesses are not the same for each person. — Whether, under maritime law, the passengers were legitimately concerned about being physically harmed and whether they had some physical signs of emotional distress. An extreme example would be a stress-related heart attack, but also could include psychological counseling. Ultimately, Carnival could simply choose to settle the Triumph lawsuits. If the cruise line fails to get the lawsuits dismissed on based on its ticket restrictions or other grounds, most attorneys say that’s the likely outcome. “It’s been my experience that the cruise lines are more concerned about the issues that affect the brand, as they call it,” Peltz said. “It could really affect their bottom line and ability to attract customers.” �SundayFebruary , February 2013 Sunday, 24, 24, 2013 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis COMICS/ENTERTAINMENT Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 Dean Young/Denis Lebrun Mort Walker Today’s Answers Tom Batiuk Chris Browne Brian and Greg Walker THE LOCKHORNS MUTTS William Hoest Patrick McDonnell Jacquelene Bigar’s HOROSCOPE ZITS THE FAMILY CIRCUS Bil Keane DENNIS THE MENACE Hank Ketchum Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman CONCEPTIS SUDOKU by Dave Green HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Feb. 25, 2013: This year you will look at life’s issues through many different lenses.

Sony shows PlayStation 4 capabilities, but no box NEW YORK (AP) — Sony showed off what the PlayStation 4 can do, but not what it will look like. The Japanese electronics giant talked about its upcoming game console for the first time and said it will go on sale this holiday season. But Sony didn’t reveal the device itself. Presenters played games that were projected on screens in a converted opera house, but the PlayStations themselves were hidden backstage throughout Wednesday evening’s two-hour event. “I don’t know that the box is going to be something that’s going to have a dramatic impact on people’s feelings about the game. It will be a color and a size fairly comparable to previous consoles,” said Jack Tretton, CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, the U.S.-based arm of the PlayStation business. “There’s a big story to tell here, and it’s going to take between now and the holiday season to get all the details out there,” Tretton said in an interview. Tretton said the price of the PS4 hasn’t been decided yet, but hinted that it won’t be as high as the PlayStation 3 was initially. The PS3 debuted in 2006 with two models for $500 and $600. It now sells for about $300. The PS4 will be jostling for attention this holiday season with Microsoft’s successor to the Xbox. Details on that device are expected in June. Xbox 360 came out a year before PS3 and has been more popular, largely because of its robust online service, Xbox Live, which allows people to play games with others online. Having an event this early allows Sony to grab the spotlight for a few months, though the absence of an actual device was noted by many people on Twitter and elsewhere. Some analysts said the lack of details made it difficult to say whether Sony had a winner in PS4. The company’s U.S.-based stock fell 2.6 percent in midday trading Thursday. Analysts at Jefferies & Co. called the announcement “ho-hum” and said PS4 was “not a must have.” Success will depend on further details from Sony and from Microsoft on its rival Xbox, they wrote in a research note Thursday. Sony did reveal that the insides of the PS4 will essentially be a “supercharged PC,” much like an Xbox. That’s a big departure from the old and idiosyncratic PlayStation design and should make it easier for developers to create games. Sony Corp. is using processing chips made by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. “One of the big challenges we faced in the past was that we created great technology that we handed over to the development community, and they had to go through a learning curve before they could harness it. And when they did, we saw some phenomenal games,” Tretton said. “We wanted to lower that barrier of entry and really give them the ability to create tremendous gaming experiences from Day One.” The adoption of PC chips also means that the new console won’t be able to play games created for any of the three previous PlayStations, even though the PS4 will have a Bluray disc drive, just like the PS3. Instead, Sony said gamers will have to stream older games to the PS4 through the Internet. Other new features revolve around social networking and remote access. With one button, you can broadcast video of your game play so friends can “look over your shoulder virtually,” said David Perry, co-founder of the Sony-owned Internet game company Gaikai. With remote play, you can run a game on the PS4 to stream over the Internet to Sony’s mobile gaming device, the PlayStation Vita, which debuted last year. The goal is to make the PS4 so good at figuring out what games and other content you want that it can download it without being asked, so that it’s available when you realize you do want it, Sony said. “Our long-term vision is to reduce download times of digital titles to zero,” said Mark Cerny, Sony’s lead system architect on the PS4. The PS4 is arriving amid declines in video game hardware, software and accessory sales. Research firm NPD Group said game sales fell 22 percent to $13.3 billion in 2012. With the launch of the PS4, Sony is looking to attract people who may have shifted their attention to games on Facebook, tablet computers and mobile phones. Forrester analyst James McQuivey said Sony is missing the point by building what amounts to an upgraded PS3. “Sony believes the future will be like the past and has built the game console to prove it,” he said. “Tablets and smartphones now engage more people in more minutes of gaming than consoles will ever achieve.” Sony showed an updated controller that adds a touchpad and a “share” button. The controller also features a light bar, which means a new PlayStation camera can more easily track the device for motion control. Dennis Fong, CEO of the gaming-centric social networking site Raptr, thinks Sony’s focus on sharing with the PS4 will be good for both gamers and business. “The ability to capture an image, video or instantly broadcast what’s on players’ screen to their friends is transformational for the new generation of consoles,” said Fong. “Providing them with community tools to create videos and live broadcasts is a cool feature for gamers, and also great for business. User-generated content keeps players engaged with the game even while they aren’t playing it and also attracts new users from the buzz generated around this content.” The bulk of Wednesday’s event was devoted to demos of games for the PS4, including a realistic team racing simulator, “Drive Club,” super-powered action sequel “Infamous: Second Son,” artsy puzzler “The Witness” and several first-person shooter games, including “Killzone: Shadow Fall.” Beyond games, the PS4 will let people create animation in 3-D using a Move motion controller — all in real time. Last fall, Nintendo launched the next generation of gaming consoles with the Wii U, which comes with a tablet-like controller called the GamePad. The controller allows two people playing the same game to have different experiences depending on whether they use the GamePad or a traditional Wii remote, which itself was revolutionary when it came out because of its motion-control features. Judging by Wednesday’s event, Sony seeks to improve but not revolutionize game play. The games were updates to existing ones, with improved graphics. “At the end of the day, this is a device by gamers for gamers,” Tretton said. “The games that people go out and spend billions of dollars on are your traditional shooters.” The original Wii has sold more units since its launch than both its rivals, but it has lost momentum in recent years as the novelty of its motion controller faded. Nintendo said it sold 3.1 million Wii Us by the end of 2012. It was a disappointing start for the first of a new generation of gaming systems. In some ways, notably its ability to display highdefinition games, the Wii U was just catching up to the PS3 and the Xbox 360, the preferred consoles to play popular games such as “Call of Duty.” All three console makers are trying to position their devices as entertainment hubs that can deliver movies, music and social networking as they try to stay relevant in the age of smartphones and tablets. The PlayStation online network will have access to Sony’s video and music services, as well as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, with paid subscriptions to those services. People will also be able to access Facebook. Doug Blair and Kayla Wray would like to announce their engagement and upcoming wedding.

Neatta Helene Mullins and Brenton Lee Morgan In fact-based films, how much fiction is OK? NEW YORK (AP) — The scene: Tehran’s Mehrabad airport, January 1980. Six U.S. diplomats, disguised as a fake sci-fi film crew, are about to fly to freedom with their CIA escorts. But suddenly there’s a moment of panic in what had been a smooth trip through the airport. The plane has mechanical difficulties and will be delayed. Will the Americans be discovered, arrested, even killed? CIA officer Tony Mendez, also in disguise, tries to calm them. Luckily, the flight leaves about an hour later. If you saw the film “Argo,” no, you didn’t miss this development, which is recounted in Mendez’s book about the real-life operation. It wasn’t there because director Ben Affleck and screenwriter Chris Terrio replaced it with an even more dramatic scenario, involving canceled flight reservations, suspicious Iranian officials who call the Hollywood office of the fake film crew (a call answered just in time), and finally a heart-pounding chase on the tarmac just as the plane’s wheels lift off, seconds from catastrophe. Crackling filmmaking — except that it never happened. Affleck and Terrio, whose film is an Oscar frontrunner, never claimed their film was a documentary, of course. But still, they’ve caught some flak for the liberties they took in the name of entertainment. And they aren’t alone — two other highprofile best-picture nominees this year, Kathryn Bigelow’s “Zero Dark Thirty” and Steven Spielberg’s “Lincoln,” have also been criticized for different sorts of factual issues. Filmmakers have been making movies based on real events forever, and similar charges have been made. But because these three major films are in contention, the issue has come to the forefront of this year’s Oscar race, and with it a thorny cultural question: Does the audience deserve the truth, the whole truth and nothing but? Surely not, but just how much fiction is OK? The latest episode involved “Lincoln,” and the revelation that Spielberg and his screenwriter, the Pulitzer-winning playwright Tony Kushner, took liberties depicting the 1865 vote on the 13th amendment outlawing slavery. In response to a complaint by a Connecticut congressman, Kushner acknowledged he’d changed the details for dramatic effect, having two Connecticut congressmen vote against the amendment when, in fact, all four voted for it. (The names of those congressmen were changed, to avoid changing the vote of specific individuals.) In a statement, Kushner said he had “adhered to time-honored and completely legitimate standards for the creation of historical drama, which is what ‘Lincoln’ is. I hope nobody is shocked to learn that I also made up dialogue and imagined encounters and invented characters.” His answer wasn’t satisfying to everyone. New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd called on Spielberg this weekend to adjust the DVD version before it’s released — lest the film leave “students everywhere thinking the Nutmeg State is nutty.” One prominent screenwriting professor finds the “Lincoln” episode “a little troubling” — but only a little. “Maybe changing the vote went too far,” says Richard Walter, chairman of screenwriting at the University of California, Los Angeles. “Maybe there was another way to do it. But really, it’s not terribly important. People accept that liberties will be taken. A movie is a movie. People going for a history lesson are going to the wrong place.” Walter says he always tells his students: “Go for the feelings. Because the only thing that’s truly real in the movies are the feelings that people feel when they watch.” Carson Reeves, who runs a screenwriting website called Scriptshadow, says writers basing scripts on real events face a constant problem: No subject or individual’s life is compelling and dramatic enough by itself, he says, that it neatly fits into a script with three acts, subplots, plot twists and a powerful villain. “You just have to get rid of things that maybe would have made the story more truthful,” says Reeves, who actually gave the “Lincoln” script a negative review because he thought it was too heavy on conversation and lacking action. He adds, though, that when the subject is as famous as Lincoln, one has a responsibility to be more faithful to the facts. Screenwriter and actor Dan Futterman, nominated for an Oscar in 2006 for the “Capote” screenplay, has empathy for any writer trying to pen an effective script based on real events, as he did. “This is fraught territory,” he says. “You’re always going to have to change something, and you’re always going to get in some sort of trouble, with somebody,” he says. Futterman recalls seeing “Lincoln” and wondering briefly why Connecticut would have voted the way the movie depicted it. On the other hand, he says, he has so much admiration for Kushner’s achievement in writing an exciting movie about 19th-century legislative history that he’s inclined to overlook the alteration. Futterman also doesn’t begrudge the “Argo” filmmakers, because he feels they use a directorial style that implies some fun is being had with the story. “All the inside joking about Hollywood — tonally, you get a sense that something is being played with,” he says. He recalls his own object lesson in the difficulty of writing about real people and events: In “Capote,” he combined three of Truman Capote’s editors into one, for the sake of the narrative. He ended up hearing from the son of New Yorker editor William Shawn, actor Wallace Shawn, who wasn’t totally pleased with the portrayal of his father. Futterman says he was sympathetic to those concerns and would certainly have addressed them in the script, had he anticipated them. Of the three Oscar-nominated films in question, “Zero Dark Thirty” has inspired the most fervent debate. The most intense criticism, despite acclaim for the filmmaking craft involved, has been about its depictions of interrogations, with some, including a group of senators, saying the film misleads viewers for suggesting that torture provided information that helped the CIA find Osama bin Laden. There also have been questions about the accuracy of the depiction of the main character, a CIA officer played by Jessica Chastain; the real person — or even combination of people, according to some theories — that she plays remains anonymous. Mark Boal, the movie’s screenwriter, said in a recent interview that screenwriters have a double responsibility: to the material and to the audience. “There’s a responsibility, I believe, to the audience, because they’re paying money, and to tell a good story,” he said. “And there’s a responsibility to be respectful of the material.” In a later interview with the Wall Street Journal, he added: “I think it’s my right, by the way, if I firmly believe that bin Laden was killed by aliens, to depict that. … In this country, isn’t that legit?” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
