Gainesville Historic Downtown Square Saturday, August 15th, 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. CELEBRIS REPORT This photo shows part of a boat that is being retrofitted to replicate the boat from the movie “Jaws.” A group of ocean lovers and movie buffs is building a replica of the boat, the Orca, for use as a conservation tool. David Bigelow via Associated Press ‘Jaws’ boat clone enacts mission to save sharks The Orca is headed back to the waters of New England, but this time, its mission isn’t to hunt sharks. It’s to help save them. A group of ocean advocates and movie buffs is turning an old lobster fishing vessel into a replica of the Orca, the boat captained by the grizzled shark hunter Quint in “Jaws.” The work is taking place on Martha’s Vine yard, where Steven Spielberg shot the block buster movie in the 1970s. The occasion doesn’t call for a bigger boat so much as one with a different purpose, said Vineyard native David Bigelow, who acquired the craft and is heading up the proj ect. When finished, he said, Orca III will be used as an educational tool to help the public understand sharks and as a research vessel for scientists. The project is dear to the heart of Big elow, who appeared as an extra in “Jaws.” His drama teacher Lee Fierro, who died in April, also played the mother of a shark attack victim in the film. Reports of shark sightings on some New England beaches in recent years moved Bigelow to take on the project. “The need to educate people about the new ecosystem we’re living in, because of climate change and the seal population, is probably our only defense,” Bigelow said, sighting two possible drivers of increased shark sightings. “We have basically taken on this role where the boat is going to be used for education.” Bigelow said that he believes the retro fitting work can be completed by this fall and that the boat can start helping people study sharks by next spring. The boat will be called Orca III because there were actually two vessels in “Jaws” — Orca and Orca II. Orca is seen in much of the film, and Orca II was a prop vessel. Others working on the mission to bring back the Orca have a connection to “Jaws,” too. Joe Alves, production designer on the movie, is on board, as is Chris Crawford, who retrofitted a boat called Warlock into the original Orca in 1974. The conservation group Beneath The Waves has signed on to use the new Orca on expeditions. The group’s board of directors includes Wendy Benchley, widow of Peter Benchley, who wrote the 1974 novel on which the movie is based. “The return of the Orca is a celebration for the fans of ‘Jaws,’ as well as an excit ing new resource in the pursuit of a greater understanding about our oceans and the life teeming in it,” she said. Associated Press ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES The public has a right to know, and The Times is dedicated to that principle and the “continued enlightenment and freedom of the people of North Georgia,” as engraved outside our building. The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

I’ve always wanted kids, so we made the gut- wrenching decision to break up. During this time, I cried and told him I probably would never find anyone to love me and have children with me. My fiance compassionately agreed to help me get pregnant, provided we would not be a couple and he would give up his parental rights once the baby was born. We stayed together another few months until I got pregnant, then dealt with the fallout of breaking up again. I’m now pregnant, lonely and seeing my former partner on social media with his new love, which is stabbing me in the heart. I know this is what I wanted, but I can’t help but feel he didn’t love me enough to stay around. Please help me. I feel so lost and alone. — Pregnant and Lonely Oh my. OK. There are some fallacies here, big ones, so let’s dispense with them upfront. “[H]e didn’t love me enough to stay around.” False — he just didn’t want kids enough. But if that’s not persuasive: YOU didn’t love HIM enough to stay around — because you had that option, too. His was to stay with you and have kids he didn’t want; yours was to stay with him and not have kids you wanted. You’re even. OK? OK. Next: “I cried and told him I probably would never find anyone.” I can’t prove that’s false, but it was certainly post- breakup-sobspeak. You have no idea what life will bring so “never” is a fallacy just waiting to become official. Next: “My fiance compassionately agreed to help me get pregnant.” I’m sure he felt compassion, but whether the deci sion was compassionate is... complicated. Not that your child won’t be loved and valued — it’s just that solving the one problem created an acute other problem. Next: “seeing my former part ner on social media with his new love is stabbing me in the heart”? The fallacy here is that seeing him (anyone) on social media is necessary. You don’t have to! Self-torture is optional. Block, cancel, quit. Once you clear all of these falsehoods out, you might be instantly un-lost. Con sider that this “compassionate” act of his introduced complexities you didn’t foresee and would be wise now to sort out with a therapist and an attorney (rights issues aren’t quite so easy). Replace all of these with the following truths as your beacon: The breakup will hurt less over time, and you’re going to be a mom. Everything you do from now on can be streamlined to these two things: what will help you recover, and what will help you be a good mom. Call in whatever reinforcements you have at the ready, be they friends, family, sought-out or on- hand, and focus on whatever helps you get well and get ready.

Moral questions come up this evening, but nothing that needs to be solved immedi ately. Think it over. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Your fantasy of a relation ship doesn’t quite match the reality of it, and this is caus ing some tension. It’s easy enough to resolve, if you’re willing to adjust your expecta tions. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you place too much sig nificance and value in the wrong things, this is a human mistake. You’ll learn quickly. Experience is the only way to really understand what’s im portant and what’s not. CANCER (June 22-July 22). The philosopher Friedrich Ni etzsche lived by the concept of amor fati, Latin for “a love of one’s fate.” You’ll take a similar approach to the day, deciding to love destiny’s delivery in whatever form it comes. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re wanting a result, and you’ll get it, but the timeframe is the matter in question. It is very difficult to predict how long things will take. Be patient and willing to adjust. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve been a leader, and you’ve been a follower. When you’re acting to the best of your ability, the roles are equally demanding. You’ll be at the top of your game this afternoon. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Don’t lean on things that worked before. The same thing that caused a triumph yesterday could be ineffective tomorrow. The importance of context cannot be underesti mated. Stay awake and alert. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You don’t need to control a situation to work it to your advantage. You need only be ready to take your turn and hop on the opportunities that open up. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You don’t have to com ment on every statement or have a judgment of every thing going on around you. It’s enough to be a witness. Save your energy. You’ll need it later. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) People find you attractive, and they will want your atten tion and time. Both of these commodities are precious, and today they will be best given in the spirit of invest ment instead of charity. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A sense of calm will alight on your decision-making process. There is no need to overanalyze — if you even need to analyze at all. You simply know what to do. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to anticipate every outcome. Get a general idea and then act. There is an opportunity that can only present itself when things aren’t exactly going as planned.
