Grief and Healing Bereaved father launches support group for families who have lost a child Stephanie M. Filson Managing Editor sfilson@civitasmedia.com OHIO VALLEY — There’s a bittersweetness about love. When you have fully experienced it — and then it is lost — the pain of that loss can be overwhelming, even devastating. It is difficult to imag- ine a scenario that more fully tests the limits of the resulting depth of grief than that of a parent losing a child. It’s such a heartbreaking and sobering thought, that many try to avoid broaching the subject altogether, while grieving parents are left to sort out the pieces left of their lives quietly and often inwardly. James Vinson knows all about this. He wishes he didn’t. Approximately 12 years ago, after a year of struggling to have a baby, Vinson and his then-wife, who were living near Dayton, disSee GRIEF ‌| A2 OHIO VALLEY — Unemployment rates in both Meigs and Gallia counties declined in February after sharp increased in January.

Gallia County was ranked 19th out of the 88 counties in January, and is now tied for 28th with Columbiana and Erie counties. When it comes to unemployment rates — in terms of rankings, it’s a good thing when a county’s number rises with the higher the ranking, the lower the unemployment. Mercer County remains ranked 88th with an unemployment rate of 4.8 percent, down from 5.3 percent in January. Delaware County has the second lowest rate at 5.2 percent.

Two arrested following traffic stop in Racine Staff Report TDSnews@civitasmedia.com RACINE — Two men have been arrested following a traffic stop for a busted headlight on Thursday night. Racine Officer Curtis Jones said he stopped a vehicle driven by Trenton Roseberry near the Racine Library for a busted headlight. During that traffic stop Roseberry was found to be in possession of suspected black tar heroin. Trenton Roseberry, 22, of Portland, the driver of the vehicle, was arrested for possession of heroin, driving under suspension and a busted headlight. According to Officer Jones, Roseberry was found in possession of two grams of suspected black tar heroin. The substance has been sent to the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCI) for identification and weight. He was released due to lack of facility for holding. James Fitchpatrick, 28, of Middleport, a passenger in the vehicle, was arrested on a warrant from Meigs County Common Pleas Court and turned over the Meigs County Sheriff’s Office. �Sunday, April 7, 2013 Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page A2 Awards Grief From Page A1 From Page A1 Last week a local Tech Prep Showcase was held in the Meigs High School cafeteria with about 50 students participating. Five of the seven tech prep programs offered at the school were represented in the showcase competition.The winners of that showcase participated at the Friday event at the Community College. “Meigs Tech Prep educational programs give students the opportunity to give direction to their futures,” said Suzanne Bentz, Tech Prep instructor. She noted that after graduation some of the Tech Prep students not only can immediately enter the workforce with valuable skills, but also can enroll in a two or four year college program. She said the Meigs Tech Prep program, which consists of rigorous hands-on learning activities woven with high level academics, as offering students the opportunity to receive several hours of college credit to Washington State Community College free of charge. Under the direction of the Ohio Department of Education, all career and technical programs in Ohio, will be converted over to the Tech Prep format, according to Bentz. covered they were expecting their first child, and they were delighted. However, the pregnancy took an unexpected turn when on August 25, 2001, at just five-and-a-half months, Matthew Hunter Vinson was born. “I knew this wasn’t good,” said Vinson. “I already knew his survival rate at this point was next to none. I was so scared for my child I hadn’t even got to truly meet yet.” But Matthew was a fighter, and after months of battling complications common to premature babies, he was home and growing stronger and healthier every day. The Vinsons treasured every milestone, from coming off of assisted oxygen to stacking his first blocks and saying his first words. The Vinsons were happy and whole — until tragedy struck on September 15, 2003. Matthew had fallen from his crib sometime in the night, and his mother found him unresponsive first thing the next morning. “She started screaming, ‘Matthew, Matthew, no, no, no!’,” said Vinson. “She came into the living room carrying him. I could see he was limp in her arms.” Vinson said the time following this horrific discovery is a painful blur of attempting CPR, calling 9-1-1 and praying. “I have remembered bits and pieces of that day, but one thing I’ve always remembered was praying, ‘God, please no. Don’t take my son’,” said Vinson. “And that went from praying to outright yelling at God to do what I demanded. ‘No, God. You are supposed to take me, remember?’” Matthew did not make it. Vinson said he and his wife were overcome with grief as they muddled through the police investigation that is protocol in cases of toddler death. He said that he was taught suicide was a ticket to hell, and he wanted so badly to see Matthew in heaven. “So, I never pondered the idea,” said Vinson, “but that didn’t keep me from thinking, hoping and wishing that every time I went to sleep, I would never wake up again. I didn’t want to face reality, the reality that my child was gone.” Soon after the funeral, Matthew’s death was ruled accidental. After all the struggle, it was a simple accident that claimed his life. Vinson said it took everything in his power to function day to day. He said he stayed medicated just to try to remain numb. He said this went on for several months. Finally, he said, he received help when some friends began referring him to local grief support groups, namely the Compassionate Friends and Help Endure A Loss (HEAL). “The overwhelming support was almost too much, and I came very close to not going anymore,” said Vinson. “It was hard to talk about what had happened, and bringing it up was like pouring salt into an opened wound. When the meeting was over, and I got home, I just felt completely exhausted — mentally, physically and spiritually. I would say I didn’t want to go back, but after four weeks had gone by and it was meeting time again, I felt like I couldn’t go any longer without going. I wanted to be in the presence of others who truly understood my pain, my grief and darkness.” Vinson said the healing came slowly and not without depression and rage. He said that his best friend, David, helped him tremendously with one of the simpler messages he received during that time. “Out of everybody, family and friends included, he was the only one who didn’t ask all of the dumb questions I’m sure we’ve all heard, ‘What can I do?’ ‘What do you need?’ … Well, heck, I had no idea. I had just lost a child. I didn’t know what I needed except that I wanted my child back. “When David found out what had happened that day, he came as soon as he Angel Green who is the Health Tech I Nursing Program present information on diabetes in the MHS showcase.

Eventually, as months turned to years, the Vinsons had another child, Kaden, but even that joy was at times overshadowed by the grief they felt over the loss of Matthew. It took time, friendship and faith to slowly come out of the depression that plagued Vinson’s life, and it took grace and love to set him on a path to help others who are dealing with this kind of loss. Vinson now lives in the Vinton area and has recently launched a grief support group for families called the Healing After Losing One’s Child Support Group. Vinson said it is a slow process to get the word out to other parents who are grieving, but if he can help just one person, his efforts will not have been in vain. Vinson said the group meets at 7 p.m. on the third Thursday of each month at the Community Christian Fellowship, located at 290 Trails End, Thurman, Ohio 45685. The group meeting is for families that have lost children and is not affiliated with any particular faith. Vinson emphasizes that the meetings aren’t only for parents, but also welcomes grandparents, siblings, aunts and uncles … and anyone else who feels inclined to join. “The situations or reasons for our loss may all be different, but if there is one thing I have learned along the way, our pain is the same — the pain of losing them and living without them,” said Vinson. The next scheduled meeting is Thursday, April 18. Vinson is also planning to host special guest Alan Pedersen May 14, at 7 p.m. when the Angels Across the USA Tour 2013 makes a stop at Community Christian Fellowship. Pedersen is a bereaved father, nationally recognized inspirational speaker on grief and loss, award winning singer/songwriter and successful recording artist. These meetings and events are free of charge. “What I can do for you,” explained Vinson in what he claims as a personal motto, “is lend an ear to listen to your story and offer you my hand to hold tight while you struggle to tell it. I can give you a shoulder to lean on when you feel like you can’t go on and hold yourself up. I’ll share with you my strength and my tears for when you don’t think you have any left to give, and I’ll show you compassion from my heart to help yours heal everyday that yours breaks all over again.” For more information about the Healing After Losing One’s Child support group, contact Vinson via email at Fishersofmen2004@yahoo.com; via Facebook at www.facebook.com/JamesPaulVinson; via the Facebook group page, Healing After Losing One’s Child; or via phone at (740) 645-2776.

The robotic ship would capture the 500-ton 25-foot asteroid in 2019. Then using an Orion space capsule, now being developed, a crew of about four astronauts would nuzzle up next to the rock in 2021 for spacewalking exploration, according to a government document obtained by The Associated Press. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said the plan would speed up by four years the existing mission to land astronauts on an asteroid by bringing the space rock closer to Earth. Nelson, who is chairman of the Senate science and space subcommittee, said Friday that President Barack Obama is putting $100 million in planning money for the accelerated asteroid mission in the 2014 budget that comes out next week. The money would be used to find the right small asteroid.

MEIGS COUNTY — Ohio EPA will accept public comments about a Meigs County mine discharge diversion project until April 9, 2013. This is an extension from the original April 2 deadline. Comments can be emailed to dswcomments@epa.state.oh.us or sent to Ohio EPADivision of Surface Water, Attention: Permits Processing Unit, P.O. Box 1049, Columbus, OH 43216-1049. Comments will be considered before Ohio EPA issues or denies the permits being sought by Southern Ohio Coal Company to construct a pipeline to divert discharges from Meigs Mine No. 31 near Langsville (around 30012 Ohio 124) to the Ohio River (mile 257.5). The permit applications and related materials are available for review at Ohio EPA’s Southeast District Office, 2195 Front St., Logan, Ohio 43138, by first calling (740) 385-8501. Interested parties may request to be placed on a mailing list for information by writing to the same address. Ohio EPA held an information session and public hearing on March 26, 2013, to discuss the water quality impacts of the proposed pipeline. Ohio EPA is reviewing applications for the company’s wastewater discharge permit renewal and a permit-to-install to construct the diversion pipeline from the mining operations. Facility owner, Consol Energy Inc., is proposing to install a pipeline to divert treated discharge from Parker Run (which joins Leading Creek before discharging into the Ohio River) to the Ohio River. The 14-mile project would go through Salem, Rutland and Salisbury townships. The Agency’s review of the applications is to ensure that discharges would comply with Ohio’s water quality standards that protect aquatic life and human health. Ohio EPA also is considering other alternatives that may have lesser or no impacts to water quality, for example, treatment to reduce the total dissolved solids.

COIN SHOW Fourteen Dealers featuring MTS Coins of Gallipolis Sunday, April 7 10:00 am-3:00 pm Quality Inn (formerly Holiday Inn) Free Admission Door prizes Buying and Selling US Coins & Currency 60404687 �Opinion Sunday Times-Sentinel Page A4 Sunday, April 7, 2013 Letters to the Editor: Reader fed up with local drug scene Dear Editor, I read the article in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune last week of a drug bust in Mason County, W.Va. I whole-heartedly applaud the hard work and dedication shown by law enforcement personnel in this insane battle with an out-of-control sector of our society who thrive on an illicit drug manufacturing and trafficking trade. I totally abhor the drug scene. It is the main reason our crime statistics are so horrid with no end in sight. Our dedicated law enforcement personnel fight this perverse sector of society daily and always display a target on their backs. Some — no too many of them — have and will continue to pay the ultimate sacrifice. With that being said, the following excerpt from the Tribune is what upsets me and drives home the point that we care more about the perpetrator(s) of the illicit drug trade than we do about the personal safety and well being of our gladiators who daily face these criminal elements: “Bush was charged with fleeing on foot with Roush setting her bond at $1,500. Johnson was charged with obstructing an officer with Roush setting her bond at $1,000. Deal was charged with obstructing an officer, fleeing on foot, possession of a controlled substance less than 15 grams, with Roush setting his bond at $1,000 for obstructing, $5,000 for fleeing, $1,000 for possession. Hughes was charged with possession of a controlled substance with Roush setting his bond at $50,000. McFann was charged with fleeing on foot with Roush setting his bond at $1,500. Chapman was charged with battery on a police officer, assault on a police officer, obstructing an officer, with Roush setting his bond at $5,000 for battery, $5,000 for assault, $1,000 for obstructing.” Is this the kind of support these brave gladiators really deserve from the very society they endeavor to protect? The scales of justice are clearly tilted! Something needs to be done to put our heroes on pedestals and slime balls behind bars! Legislators, these brave souls can’t do it alone! Steve Chapman Cheshire, Ohio Reader thankful for anonymous kind deed Dear Editor, My husband and I were at Walmart last week, and when he unloaded the groceries, he left $50 worth of bags in the cart. When we got home, this was discovered. Evidently, a lady saw the buggy with the items in it and watched to see if anyone came after it. No one did, so she took it to service counter. I would like to thank this lady and to say it is nice to know there are still nice people in the world. Thank you again! Karen Filson, Gallipolis, Ohio Meigs Cooperative Parish is in need of community support Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Each year, the Mulberry Community Center in Pomeroy assists several thousands of Meigs County residents through our ministries. As chairperson of the organization — and a lifelong resident of Meigs County — I would like to take this opportunity to share with you our various ministries and provide you with information on how you can get involved. As you can see, our ministries are as diverse as the people we help. Sunday Times-Sentinel Reader Services Correction Policy Our main concern in all stories is to be accurate.

Presently, our two largest ministries are our food pantry and our parish shop, Remnants of Faith.” Our food pantry provides food to low-income families who meet 130 of the poverty guideline. Last year, we were able to distribute 2,161 bags of food to 1,027 families. The recent economy has led to higher demand from our food pantry, and so we are running low on supplies. Remnants of Faith, our parish shop, provides gently-used clothing and household items to individuals at low prices. We also donate these items from the store to individuals who are suffering from loss to due fire or are homeless. The store’s inventory is comprised of donations, and the revenues are re-Invested back Into our ministries. I invite you to visit the store sometime, as shopping here helps us to continue generating income for this ministry. For the store to continue, we are also in need of donations of clothing, furniture or other items. In addition, our office provides several other services to the people of Meigs County. The faith-based community nursing program meets the health needs of Individuals throughout our county, and It is made available through grant monies. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., we host a soup kitchen which Is open to the public. We have found that this ministry is popular not only with those who cannot afford a warm meal, but also with local residents who are looking for a great lunch. This is a donation-based ministry, and by participating, you are helping to offset the cost for those who otherwise cannot afford a warm meal. For those who are interested in fitness, the community center hosts Shape Up, an exercise program for women. Held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9-11 a.m., the cost to participate in this program is only $12 per month. For a food donation, you can also participate in a Zumba class at the center on Tuesdays at 6:30 p.m. A group of retirees, our Tuesday volunteers, assist with various ministries and perform maintenance on our building. In addition, we have meeting rooms and a gymnasium that are available for rent (at a nominal fee) for events. Any revenues are placed back into our ministries so that we can continue to enhance the lives of people who live in Meigs County. In this economic downturn, we realize that many individuals and organizations are experiencing financial difficulties. Yet we also hope that we can continue to be a light for individuals In our surrounding communities who are in need and are feeling helpless or vulnerable. To accomplish this, we must rely on the support of others. Our basic utilities, loan payment, fire and safety needs, trash pick-up, insurance and pest control costs are approximately $5,000 per month. We are asking that you will support our ministries through a tax-deductible donation, through participating in our ministries, or by volunteering your time. Please assist us as we continue to share the resources God has given to us. In God’s Service, Don Shaffer Parish Director Pomeroy Lifeline of Ohio celebrates Donate Life Month Dear Editor, Spring showers in blue and green this April for National Donate Life Month! The monthlong annual observance honors those everyday heroes who say yes to organ, eye and tissue donation. Support the power of donation by getting creative with blue and green. Join me in drawing attention to the need for organ and tissue donors by wearing the blue and green colors of Donate Life for National Blue and Green Day on Friday, April 19. The initiative offers hope to the more than 117,500 Americans waiting for a life-saving transplant; honors the heroes of organ, eye and tissue donation; remembers those that died waiting for their second chance at life; and celebrates the recipients who received the gift of life through transplantation. Heroes aren’t just the people who save lives by running into burning buildings. In April, we’re honoring the quiet heroes of donation. We celebrate all registered donors this month who selflessly say yes to sharing the Gift of Life at the end of life. Have you said yes? Make the choice to register as an organ, eye and tissue donor today. Just one donor has the potential to save eight lives through organ donation and enhance 50 more through tissue and cornea donation. You can register or learn more about Blue and Green Day by visiting www.lifelineofohio.org. The more than 117,500 Americans — including 3,400 Ohioans — waiting for an organ transplant thank YOU this spring for spreading the message!

Dragons rally past River Valley, 11-4 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com PROCTORVILLE, Ohio — It’s not how you start something, but rather how you finish it. Host Fairland scored 11 unanswered runs Friday night during an 11-4 victory over the River Valley baseball team in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup in Lawrence County. The winless Raiders (0-5, 0-2 OVC) got out of the gates strong, as the guests plated a run in the first and three more in the second to secure a comfortable 4-0 cushion after an inning-and-a-half of play. The Dragons (3-2, 2-1), however, answered with three runs in their half of the second to pull within 4-3 through two complete. FHS followed with three runs in the third for the first lead of the night at 5-4, then sent 11 batters to the plate in the bottom of the fourth — resulting in six runs on four hits and four walks for a comfortable seven-run advantage. RVHS — who managed nine baserunners through two frames — had only two players reach base the rest of the evening, allowing Fairland to secure the 11-4 triumph.

The Rebels (2-3, 0-3), however, refused to go down without a fight — which appeared to be more than the guests had bargained for.

The Lady Marauders (3-2, 1-0 TVC Ohio) mustered their first two-game winning streak of the year in style, as the guests pounded out 15 total hits while plating 10 runs in their final two plate appearances — which helped MHS turn a slim 4-2 cushion into a sizable 12-run advantage headed into the bottom of the seventh. The Lady Bulldogs (1-1, 0-1) managed a run and three hits in their final at-bat, but ultimately came up well short in their rally bid. AHS had 10 hits in the setback, but also committed all three errors in the contest. Athens claimed an early 1-0 edge in the bottom of the second, but Meigs countered with four runs in the top of the third for a 4-1 advantage — a lead it would never relinquish. Those four runs came on a walk, two errors and a pair of doubles by Liddy Fish and Harley Fox. The Lady Bulldogs retaliated with a run in their half of the third following a solo home run by Mikala Perry, which cut their deficit in half at 4-2 through three complete. The score remained that way until the top of the sixth, as the guests sent 11 batters to the plate. The end result was seven runs on seven hits and an error, giving MHS an 11-2 cushion after six complete. The Lady Marauders used a walk and three hits to plate their final three runs of the night, then surrendered just one score in the bottom of the seventh to wrap up the 11-run triumph. Haley English was the winning pitcher of record, allowing two runs and six hits over three innings of work. Destinee Blackwell worked the final four innings in the circle, allowing one run and four hits while striking out two. Vanessa Carey took the loss for AHS after surrendering 14 runs, 15 hits and two walks over seven innings while striking out three. Harley Fox and Allyson Davis each led Meigs with three hits, followed by Liddy Fish and Kim Casci with two safeties apiece. Brook Andrus, Tess Phelps, Sadie Fox, Destinee Blackwell and Ariel Ellis wrapped things up with one hit each for the victors. Fox drove in a team-best three RBIs, followed by two RBIs apiece from Fish, Phelps and Casci. Fish scored a team-high three runs, while Andrus, Fox and Ellis each crossed home plate twice. Brooke Tripito led AHS with three hits, followed by Olivia Harris, Mikala Perry, Vanessa Carey, Allie Mattey, Miranda Tinkham, Dubbs and Rodgers with a safety apiece. Perry, Mattey and Dubbs each scored once in the setback. Meigs dropped a 12-5 decision to host Warren on Monday. The Lady Marauders never led and were outhit by a 13-8 overall margin.

Lady Knights drop heartbreaker at Ripley, 4-3 Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com RIPLEY, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant softball team had its four-game winning streak come to an end Thursday night follow- ing a 4-3 setback to host Ripley in a non-conference matchup in Jackson County. The visiting Lady Knights (5-3) battled the Lady Vikings (8-1) to a three-all tie through five complete innings, but RHS made the most of a golden opportunity in the bottom of the sixth — as the hosts executed a suicide squeeze to perfection to plate the eventual game-winning run. PPHS had three hits during its final at-bat in the seventh, but the guests ultimately failed to get the game-tying run to the plate — allowing Ripley to secure the hard-fought one-run decision. Both teams had seven hits in the contest, but Point Pleasant committed an uncharacteristic four errors in the setback — compared to only two miscues by RHS. The Lady Knights stranded seven runners on base, compared to just three by the hosts. PPHS claimed an early 1-0 lead in the top of the second after a one-out walk to Megan Davis turned into a run following an RBI double by Josie Fisher. A Point Pleasant error and a pair of Ripley hits resulted in a pair of scores in the bottom of the third, giving the Lady Vikings their first lead of the night at 2-1. The Lady Knights rallied with two runs in the top of the fifth to reclaim the lead at 3-2. Sarah Hussell reached on a fielder’s choice, then Makinley Higginbotham doubled in Hussell to knot the game at two. Kaitlin Liptrap followed with a double that plated Higginbotham, giving PPHS its final lead of the night. Ripley managed to tie things up in its half of the fifth, as a hit and two errors allowed the hosts to make it a three-all contest. Then in the bottom of the sixth, Dusti Fisher led the inning off with a single and later advanced to third on a passed ball and a fielder’s choice. Hannah Ford executed the suicide squeeze to perfection, allowing Fisher to score the game-winning run with two outs in the frame. Madison Barker was the losing pitcher of record, allowing four runs (one earned), seven hits and zero walks while striking out eight. Darby Petersen picked up the win after surrendering three earned runs, seven hits and three walks while fanning four. Liptrap and Bekah Darst led the guests with two hits apiece, followed by Higginbotham, Fisher and Davis with a safety each. Higginbotham, Liptrap and Fisher each drove in an RBI in the setback. Ford led the hosts with two hits, followed by Petersen, Moore, Fisher, Chelsey Hager and Ashley Mellinger with one safety apiece. Moore, Petersen, Hager and Fisher each scored once in the triumph.

The students of Gallia Academy High School (GAHS) and Gallia Academy Middle School (GAMS) were also joined by community actors Robert Gordon, Kevin Jackson, Jessica Lang, Jahanni Lang, Anthony Henry and GAHS Resource Officer Chad Wallace. The musical, a Two Act Thru Sung/Operetta, focuses on the period of American history surrounding the American Civil War. According to a synopsis of the performance by Music Theatre International, “Drawing on letters, diaries, firsthand accounts, and the words of Abraham Lincoln, Frederick Douglass and Walt Whitman, The Civil War is a thrilling, gutwrenching and awe-inspiring ‘dramatic theatrical concert’ that covers the enormous emotional landscape of the most difficult test our nation has ever endured. “This epic thematic revue puts a human face on the greatest tragedy of American history. It explores the experiences of the soldiers and leaders who fought for their way of life. It also examines the lives of the lovers and families they left behind, as well as the hopes and fears of the slaves whose freedom was at stake. It passionately asks us to consider our beliefs about freedom, honor and faith.” The cast, technical theater students and orchestra, performed for the Recreation, Opportunities, Culture, Knowledge and Skills (ROCKS) and ASSET after school programs, the GAHS staff and student body and two public performances on March 22 and 23. On March 16, the cast, crew and orchestra took a field trip to Cincinnati’s National Freedom Center and Underground Railroad Museum. The trip was organized by Connie Bradbury and funded by the gen- The Civil War playbill erosity of the Educational Service Center (ESC). There, students explored the history of slavery as an international institution, with topics ranging from American slavery to modern human trafficking. In addition, on March 21, members of The Civil War production hosted Carolyn Casey, who discussed African-American culture and the historical significance of the play with the cast, crew and orchestra members.

Ebert showed willingness to adapt to new media CHICAGO (AP) — Roger Ebert started out as an old-school newspaper man, the kind that has all but vanished: a fierce competitor who spent the day trying to scoop the competition and the night bellied up to the bar swapping stories. Then newspapers fell on hard times, either laying off huge chunks of their staffs or disappearing altogether. But Ebert didn’t merely survive. He flourished, largely by embracing television and later the Internet and social networks. As the American news media and even the landscape of his beloved Chicago changed, Ebert evolved, too, gliding seamlessly from one medium to the next and helping to blaze a path forward for the beleaguered industry he loved. Ebert, who died Thursday at age 70, rose to fame at the Chicago Sun-Times, which struggled to survive after two of the city’s four dailies closed. The nation’s most influential movie critic was always willing to experiment and adapt. Every step into new technology widened his audience. “Roger was one of the great conversationalists, whether it was in bars or on the street corner, and when he could not speak, he found a way to speak,” said Rick Kogan, a longtime Chicago Tribune writer who knew Ebert for decades. “In many ways, he was generations ahead of his time.” Ebert, who quit drinking in the late 1970s, arrived in Chicago when gritty steel mills and stockyards dominated an industrial city. Slowly, they were replaced by gleaming skyscrapers. Ebert kept his newspaper job but grew into a television star, along with his crosstown rival, Gene Siskel of the Tribune. When cancer took Ebert’s voice, he did something that many in his generation would not: He embraced the digital age and kept talking. He talked to his 800,000plus Twitter followers. He talked to the 100,000 friends on his Facebook page, and he talked on his own blog. All the while, he kept talking in the pages of the Sun-Times, his employer for more than 40 years. In the process, he demonstrated to other journalists who grew up in a print world that tweets had value. “When I first went to Twitter, I thought it was stupid,” said Michele Norris, a host and special correspondent for National Public Radio and a former Tribune reporter. “But he used it to rant and to educate and to push and cajole and make people laugh and think.” Chicago’s surviving newspapers have seen their staffs slashed, but Ebert never lost his love for newsprint. It was there on his desk: the student newspaper he continued to read for decades after college. He once wrote a scathing open letter to former Sun-Times sports columnist Jay Mariotti, who on his way out the door said newspapers were “destined to die.” “Newspapers are not dead, Jay, because there are still readers who want the whole story, not a sound bite,” he wrote. In the same letter, Ebert explained his decision to stay at the paper during the time it was owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch. “I was asked, ‘How can you work for a Murdoch paper?’ My reply was: It’s not his paper. It’s my paper. He only owns it.” That helps explain why Ebert, even at the height of his television fame, kept his word not to abandon the Sun-Times. “He was a big-city newspaper man. He took pride in all the history of that,” said Barbara Scharres, director of programming at the Gene Siskel Film Center who had known Ebert since 1975 and wrote for rogerebert.com. Ebert tweeted links to his reviews, posts from bloggers he admired and old pictures from long-ago film festivals. He was willing to interact with the public and answer their tweets, emails and Facebook messages. The effort earned him an army of followers on social media in addition to his newspaper readers and TV audience. “He kept adding ways to communicate with people because he loved doing it,” filmmaker and longtime friend Anna Thomas said. “He was in an ongoing conversation with a couple hundred million people all his life.” It was that adaptability that made Ebert’s career so lasting, said Ignatiy Vishnevetsky, who wrote for rogerebert.com and was a host on “Ebert Presents At The Movies.” “In whatever direction readers went in, he would work within that medium,” Vishnevetsky said. Beckie Stocchetti, program director for the nonprofit group Chicago Filmmakers, said she was a fan of Ebert’s newspaper reviews and followed him on Facebook, where he presented a platform for dialogue about film. “It made him feel accessible, and it made the field accessible,” she said. And even if younger readers had abandoned the newspapers that he so cherished, he was able to show them, as a newspaper man, the value of the written word. “Working with him made you want to be a much clearer writer because he came from this great tradition of newspaper writing,” Vishnevetsky said. Ebert even let readers share in his health struggles as he and his wife, Chaz, dealt with the cancer that cost him parts of his jaw and the ability to eat. “He attracted legions of people to what he called his journey,” said John Barron, a former Sun-Times executive editor. “People were fascinated with that and how he was so open.” That Ebert never left Chicago meant something to others who left to pursue movie careers. Actor Joe Mantegna, who sometimes crossed paths with Ebert in the city’s Old Town neighborhood, said Ebert made it harder to dismiss Chicago as a backwater and helped open the way for the city to become a film and art center. “We as actors, they’d always remind you that you were from the Second City,” Mantegna said. “Siskel and Ebert helped us get out of that Second City thing.” Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C2 Extension Corner discussing how your proAre you interested in duce operation can comply growing asparagus?

Philadelphia gets ready to play ‘Pong’ PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Philadelphia is getting ready for a supersized game of “Pong” — on the side of a skyscraper. The classic Atari video game will be re-created later this month on the facade of the 29-story Cira Centre, where hundreds of embedded LED lights will replicate the familiar paddles and ball. Organizers expect hundreds of onlookers as gaming enthusiasts use giant, table-mounted joysticks to play from afar. The players will be standing on the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, a site that offers an unobstructed view of the office building from across the Schuylkill River. “‘Pong’ is a cultural icon, cultural milestone,” said Frank Lee, the Drexel University game-design professor behind the concept. “This is my love letter to the wonders of technology as seen through the eyes of my childhood.” Despite the buzz the idea has received since being announced Wednesday, Lee said it took five years to find people willing to make it happen. He eventually met kindred spirits at Brandywine Realty Trust, which owns the Cira Centre, and at the online news site Technically Philly. Craig, Weisz to star in ‘Betrayal’ NEW YORK (AP) — Real-life husband and wife Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are to play an adulterous stage couple in a Broadway production this fall of Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal,” the latest blast of high-beam celebrities to be lured to Times Square. Weisz will make her Broadway debut in Pinter’s 1978 study in deception, which charts an extramarital affair in reverse. Her character, Emma, is married to Craig’s Robert, but is having an affair with Jerry, played by rising star Rafe Spall. James Bond star Craig last appeared on Broadway in 2009 in “A Steady Rain,” where he received positive notices opposite Hugh Jackman even though the play itself did not. The married movie stars will join a long list of recent film celebrities to hit Broadway, including Al Pacino, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Matthew Broderick, Jessica Chastain, Robin Williams, Scarlett Johansson, Katie Holmes and Samuel L. Jackson. Others celebrities soon to make their debuts include Zooey Deschanel and Amber Tamblyn. Casting movie stars hasn’t always turned into box office gold. Hoffman’s revival of Arthur Miller’s “Death of Salesman,” Jackson’s turn as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. on “The Mountaintop” and the Pacino-led “Glengarry Glen Ross” revival all recouped their investments. But Chastain’s revival of “The Heiress,” Holmes’ “Dead Accounts” and Johansson’s version of “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” did not. Craig has reportedly signed on for at least two more Bond films follow- ing “Skyfall,” which was the first Bond film to rake in more than $1 billion in revenue. It also won two Oscars including one for Adele’s theme song. Broadway veteran Mike Nichols will direct “Betrayal,” which previews from Oct. 1 and opens Nov. 3 at New York’s Barrymore Theatre. The announcement was made Friday. Craig and Weisz, who is currently starring on screen in “Oz: The Great and Powerful,” worked together before in the horror film “Dream House,” which came out in 2011. Couples have been sharing Broadway stages recently, including Michael Shannon and Kate Arrington, who starred in “Grace,” and Boyd Gaines and Kathleen McNenny, who starred in “An Enemy of the People.” �SundayApril , april 7, 2013 Sunday, 7, 2013 BLONDIE BEETLE BAILEY FUNKY WINKERBEAN HAGAR THE HORRIBLE HI & LOIS Pomeroy • Middleport • Gallipolis Sunday Times Sentinel • Page C3 ComiCs/EntErtainmEnt 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, April 8, 2013: This year you will express yourself in an assertive and clear manner, and you’ll see excellent results.

Sad death for a reality star, but reality TV goes on NEW YORK (AP) — For a fleeting moment, Shain Gandee was part of the 1 percent. Not the economic 1 percent, of course. Not when a fundraiser was announced to help cover his funeral costs. No, Gandee gained entry into another kind of 1 percent, the 1 percent who can claim to be famous. To be recognized, however marginally, as a media celebrity, never mind why. To be saluted for posing as some version of oneself, however distorted that version may be. Thanks to his brief run on the MTV reality show “Buckwild” (whose first season began in January and concluded a month later), Gandee was lifted from obscurity in smalltown West Virginia for a dozen episodes of prominence before his death earlier this week. Gandee became a star doted on by the 99 percent. Or enough of that public to please MTV (which was soon back filming “Buckwild” for a second season), and surely enough to have thrilled Gandee. “Buckwild” trades on the devil-may-care antics of a group of 20-something guys and gals with more time on their hands than good sense. The bed of a dump truck becomes their swimming hole. A backhoe propels them across broad swaths of plastic like a giant Slip ‘N Slide, for a sport they call “redneck water skiing.” And “muddin’ it” finds them barreling off-road, helterskelter, in any vehicle at hand. But there was more to 21-year-old Gandee’s act than reckless high jinks. With the cheek of arrested adolescence, he portrayed himself on “Buckwild” as a ladies’ man, as the “Gandee candy” who can satisfy any girl’s sweet tooth. Was this who he really was, or was he playing a role? Did he realize that viewers — some of them, at least — were sneering and Ohio Virtual Academy.

(“Buckwild” has been called “The ‘Jersey Shore’ of Appalachia.”) Did he ever suspect that MTV might be exploiting him? Was there a grander strategy for Gandee being on the show than having fun for all the world to see? Was Gandee, who (in his words) “tossed garbage” as a sanitation worker, bucking for a Pauly D-style payday as a reality star? Was “Buckwild” meant to be his ticket out, or up? Maybe he would be pleased to know that the First Law of Celebrity applies to him now: His fame is even greater in death than it was in life. A large measure of the 99 percent — much larger than the average 3 million viewers who watched “Buckwild” — discovered him this week, learned that his body and two others were discovered Monday in a mud pit near his Sissonville home, with Gandee at the wheel of his family’s Ford Bronco. As with most deaths, there is a temptation to draw some larger truth in Gandee’s untimely demise. There is the temptation to find a link between this preventable accident — wee-hours “muddin’ it” after leaving a bar — and the show that glorified that part of Gandee to the watching world. And there’s a temptation to point fingers at MTV (though the network says it wasn’t filming Gandee the night of his death). Of course, MTV isn’t alone in its lucrative policy of spotlighting people for their bad or ill-advised behavior. Examples, however varied in extremity, abound. Consider Bravo’s “Real Housewives” franchise, TLC’s “Jon & Kate Plus 8” and current hit “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo,” and MTV’s “Buckwild” predecessor, “Jersey Shore.” But for the moment all eyes are on “Buckwild” and its network. What will MTV do now? “Our main concern is for the Gandee family and their friends,” said the network in a predictable statement. But monetary concerns will soon take precedent again. Can “Buckwild” be salvaged for another season? Can it even be stoked by exploiting Gandee’s death before resuming its funand-games? MTV says production has been suspended, and no decision on the show’s future will be made for at least a couple of weeks. But in any case, this brand of programming will persist on MTV. Why not? There will always be people eager to step in front of the camera with dreams of deliverance, however delusional, to the realm of the 1 percent. People ready and willing to serve as the freaks in the network’s latest freak show. And all the better when they’re putting themselves in harm’s way. After all, their recklessness is no skin off the nose of the viewer watching them — nor should it be, as MTV dutifully reminds us in its “Buckwild” disclaimer, which cautions against “wild and crazy behavior that could result in serious personal injury or property damage.” No kidding! “MTV and the producers insist that no one attempt to recreate or re-enact any activity performed on this show,” says the disclaimer. Note that word: “insist.” MTV is looking out for us viewers insistently. It is we who MTV is worried about. Meanwhile, the world’s Shain Gandees are expendable heroes.

The family was spotted by a helicopter in thick vegetation, where their airboat apparently got stuck, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said. The vegetation was too dense to spot the family at ground level, even from nearby. “We weren’t able to see them, we were only able to hear them,” Pino said. “They are in good condition.” The family was identified as 44-year-old Scott Schreck; his 42-year-old wife, Carrie; and their three young children. They launched their airboat Thursday morning at a wildlife management area in extreme western MiamiDade County but did not return by nightfall. Law enforcement, fire rescue and wildlife agencies launched a massive search, using helicopters, airplanes and at least six airboats. The area spreads over some 1,000 square miles in three South Florida counties north of Everglades National Park and is covered in tall, sharpedged sawgrass that limits visibility. It’s also home to alligators, Florida panthers, snakes, turtles, a vast array of birds and fish. Finding a missing family in such conditions is a challenge, said Miami-Dade Fire Rescue spokesman Lt. Arnold Piedrahita Jr. The boat was painted in camouflage, making it even harder to find. “It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack,” he said. Pino said the family appeared to be in good health even after spending the night in the wilderness, which was swept by strong thunderstorms Thursday and more rain Friday. It wasn’t immediately clear where the family were being taken or how they were getting out of the Everglades. Pino said Schreck was a “savvy outdoorsman” who did the right thing by making as much noise as possible. “If you get into that dense vegetation with an airboat, it’s almost next to impossible to get out,” he said. Volunteers make prom special for Alaska students SITKA, Alaska (AP) — For girls, proms are all about the dresses. Kayla Wolfe just never imagined what it would take to pick one. First, there was what felt like a million questions. “What kind of dress was I looking for? What size am I? What kind of color? Long or short?” said the 15-year-old freshman at Mount Edgecumbe High School, a state-run boarding school in Sitka, Alaska. Her answers gave her passage into a room stocked full of dresses — a bounty that Kayla, or most students, in rural Alaska have never seen. The dresses were brought to the school by the Seattle-based Prom Princess program, which brings the prom experience to Mount Edgecumbe, where many students don’t have the resources or the help from their far-off families to get party dresses, tuxedos and makeup for their big night. “All of these people are here helping them (the students) out and doing all this stuff, and suddenly they realize they’re a lot more important than they ever thought they were,” said Ivy Lanthier, project director for the school’s dorms. “That’s the big thing.” In its fifth year of helping students at the school, the program arranges for donations of the dresses, discounted tuxes, and hair and makeup artists. Mount Edgecumbe, which sits in the shadow of a dormant volcano, is the only state-run boarding school in Alaska. It has nearly 400 students, and about 80 percent this year are Alaska Native. Many, like Kayla, hail from small communities well off the state’s limited road system. Many schools in these rural villages don’t have proms, and ones that do aren’t at Mount Edgecumbe’s level. Program founder Terri Bogren said she and other volunteers, mainly her co-workers at the Seattle-based Alaska Airlines, are proud of the teenagers for leaving their families and villages to get a better education, and this is a way to show their admiration. “They don’t have the family support to help them do this. So we’re kind of like fairy godmothers here to help them make sure they can look as good as they want to go to their prom,” she said. Bogren got the idea for the program when she lived in Sitka and helped a niece, who was attending the school, get ready for the prom. That’s when she realized other girls weren’t going to the dance because they didn’t have a dress. Bogren moved to Seattle after she got a job as an account specialist with the airline, which had just celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2007. She de- cided to see if anyone would be willing to donate her party dress from the anniversary ball for the girls at Mount Edgecumbe. “I know lots of people buy expensive dresses and only wear them once,” she said. “So I figured this would be a good opportunity to ask for donations.” That first year, 30 dresses were donated. That number has increased to about 130 this year, and the girls get to keep the frocks they pick. The main booster for the program, Bogren solicits donations while talking to people on airplanes, in airports, at work. The program has a signature identifier: During the prom, all the volunteers wear tiaras, but Bogren sports one throughout the year to attract attention to her program. The number of volunteers also has grown, from Bogren and five others the first year to about 40 this year. The volunteers are Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air employees, and their family and friends from across the Pacific Northwest. The volunteers include professional hairdressers, nail artists, even a master tailor. Last Saturday, they gave the girls updos, fancy nails, took prom photos and made flower decorations. Like many students, sophomore Jessica Mute was appreciative for the help. She spent the day primping for the all-school prom, but also found time to make her boyfriend a boutonniere. Mute said it was especially nice since the boarding students “have no parents or moms” there to help them. For many, Saturday’s prom was the first time they have dressed formally for a dance, had clothes altered, had their nails and hair done, got tanning, even wore jewelry. “It’s something that many of them have seen on TV,” Lanthier said. “They know other people do it, and now they’re doing it.” Kellie Oester, a Portland, Ore.-based flight attendant who was in Sitka for the second year, said the freshman girls “touched my heart.” “I have a daughter that is 17. I think, ‘Oh, it would be hard for her to be away from home.’ So I think they kind of get the nurturing from us,” said Oester, who described her duty as “glam fairy,” spraying girls with glitter. And for the record, Kayla picked a dress that was black on the top with white frilly ruffles on the bottom. She planned to wear it when she and friends went to a pizzeria before the dance. “I’m just going to be extra careful” not to drop any food on it, she laughed. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
