1. Company of Wichita to
maintain the computerized
equipment.
The new program will
also each room to be con-
trolled by a computer in
Wichita. The drawback is
that there will be very little
on-site ability to control
room temperatures.
The system will allow
technicians in Wichita to
log in, remotely, to make
necessary adjustments and
fix potential problems with
the heating and cooling
system.
Pittsburg Police Chief
Mendy Hulvey said that
her office has reached 55
degrees — in the winter
— because of the lack of
control.
“This is complicated and
complex,” said Hulvey.
“But, without that software,
it will not run correctly.”
And, Pittsburg City
Commissioners are upset
that it was not done right
the first time, considering
they spent $6.5 million to
build the new facility.
“It does upset me that we
didn’t get what we needed
and, now we have to spend
a lot of money to fix it,”
said Commissioner Marty
Beezley.
The contract with Kansas
Trane calls for the city to
pay $583 per month for the
maintenance agreement.
Both Hulvey and Pittsburg
Fire Chief Scott Crain said
that it would have likely that
the city would have entered
into a similar maintenance
agreement had the proper
equipment been installed
in the first place.
Money to pay for the
maintenance agreement
will come from the building
fund for the law enforce-
ment center.
“This is something we
should’ve had when this
building was built,” said
Pittsburg interim City
Manager John Van Gorden.
“I just don’t like it,” said
Beezley.

Boys Choir at Fort Scott
Community College.
The choir, which only per-
forms 80 concerts a year in
North America, will perform
at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Danny

tone and universal popular

the most talented boys are
selected to join the choir and
enter the choir’s grammar
school. All boys are assigned
to one of the touring choirs.
Academic lessons are taught
in small groups.
The school has a band, and
offers extracurricular activi-
ties ranging from sports to
attending concerts, operas,
plays, musicals and movies.
Thechoristersareencouraged
to create their own projects;
many write, act or direct skits
or films. All choir boys live in
the choir’s boarding school,
with 2-3 boys to a room. Many
of the school’s alumni go on
to become professional musi-
cians, conductors, singers or
instrumentalists in Vienna
and abroad.
The Fort Scott concert will
include Ave Maria by Anton
Heiller; At Sunset by Franz
Schubert;WearetheWorldby

5 THINGS TO DO THIS WEEKEND — BY MATTHEW CLARK — THE MORNING SUN
How to mark the Academy Award weekend
1 2 3
Movie night, Part 1
You can start your movie weekend by
heading to the theater to see something new.
The big movies this week are “Drive Angry,”
an R-rated Nicolas Cage thriller; and “Hall
Pass,” an R-rated comedy starring Owen
Wilson, Jason Sudeikis.
Movie night, Part 2
If the theater movies don’t appeal to you, hold a movie
night with your family and/or friends. You could watch
some of this year’s Best Picture nominees, or check out past
winners. This year’s nominees include one family-friendly
film, too: “Toy Story 3.” The others are “127 Hours,” “Black
Swan,” “The Fighter,” “Inception,” “The Kids Are All Right,”
“The King’s Speech,” “The Social Network,” “True Grit” and
“Winter’s Bone.”
The 83rd annual Academy Awards will take
place Sunday, beginning at 7 p.m. on ABC.
James Franco and Anne Hathaway will be
hosts for the broadcast. COURTESY PHOTO
Hold a contest
You can arrange several
guess-the-winners contests if
you’re really into the Oscars:
Put together one at work, one
with your family and one with
your friends, perhaps through
Facebook. The prizes can be
something simple, such as a
DVD, movie theater pass,
Netflix gift certificate or even an
Oscar-shaped cookie.
4 Oscar parties are in vogue these days, and there are plenty of ways to hold them. You can have it
be a costume party where people dress as their favorite movie characters, have movie-themed food
and drink, and more. Celebrations.com has a good list of ideas if you need further suggestions: www.
celebrations.com/oscarparty.
Organize your party
5 Finally, don’t forget to watch the show! The broadcast is Sunday on ABC and begins at 7 p.m. CST. If
you want to watch pre-show coverage, just flip through the channels — more than a few will be cover-
ing the event. For more information on the nominees and more, go to the official website of the 83rd
Academy Awards, www.oscars.org.
And the winner is ...
