The policy has come under much scrutiny as to how it will affect customers of internet service providers. “It’s a regulatory principle that says all information on the internet is treated the same,” said Bill Maynard, information technology technician with the Gallia County Courthouse. “Time Warner (and other ISPs) will essentially be able to charge extra for using YouTube if they want to.” According to Maynard, the repeal of Net Neutrality will enable different ISP’s to be able to charge according to what kind of information is being accessed. Net Neutrality was instituted by the FCC in 2015 as a rule, and upheld the idea of an open internet service. “The main aim was to make it so that different internet companies couldn’t piece it out,” said Maynard. “Comcast was starting to charge more for Netﬂix because it used so much bandwidth.” While the FCC made a decision to repeal the policy, it will remain in court and is still subject to congressional oversight, if those com- mittees choose to act in favor of Net Neutrality. “I don’t think this is going to be the apocalypse that everyone thinks it will be,” said Maynard. “This is going to be tied up in courts for a while. I know that Congress has to go throw some voting stuff before (it takes place).” Maynard explained that this was not the ﬁrst time the FCC has attempted to repeal Net Neutrality, that legislators overturned the decision last time a repeal was attempted. “Ajit Pai (director of the FCC) believes that the big thing is ISP’s are now completely open to make their technology better,” said Maynard. “They believe that Net Neutrality is holding them back. That’s why you can’t get decent internet out in the middle of nowhere.” Maynard expects that any effects of the FCC decision will be down the road as the federal government is slow to move and the social backlash to this decision. Currently internet access is available free through Bossard Memorial Library, which provides wiﬁ hotspots to go as well as access through computers. The future of internet availability through public resources like libraries could also be affected by the repeal of Net Neutrality. Reach Morgan McKinniss at 740446-2342.

The ﬁnancial report and See MEIGS | 8A Time for winter car preparation By Morgan McKinniss mmckinniss@aimmediamidwest. com OHIO VALLEY — Winter weather came in full swing this week covering the roads in ice and snow. While this creates new hazards for motorists, many of those hazards can be mitigated with proper vehicle maintenance in preparation for the colder months. Brandon Potter is the Automotive Service Instructor at Buckeye Hills Career Center and has 10 precautions vehicle owners should take for winter driving. “Check your tires for good tread and proper inﬂation,” said Potter. “You may consider switching to a snow tire.” As the only point of contact with the road surface, tires play a critical part in vehicle safety and stability in slippery conditions. Potter also recommends checking the ﬂuids in your vehicle: engine oil, coolant, power steering ﬂuid, and brake ﬂuid. “Test the strength of the coolant for freezing temps. It should have freeze protection down to negative 30 to negative 40 degrees,” stated Potter. A special tool is needed to do this, and is commonly available at autoparts stores. Another common item on vehicles that owners should replace is their wiper blades, which are critical for maintaining visibility in heavy precipitation. The electrical system also suffers added strain in the cold season, as car batteries lose their ability to provide enough voltage for the starter to work. Potter recommends having your battery tested for cold cranking amps and cleaning the battery terminals for an efﬁcient connection. A faulty connection at the battery terminals can cause several problems, including starting the engine. If your vehicle is equipped with four wheel drive, testing those components for proper operation is a good idea according to Potter. Test them before the bad weather occurs so that See TIME | 8A Morgan McKinniss | OVP The internet is commonly accessed through programs and devices at the Bossard Memorial Library.

The ﬁrst resolution authorized Mayor Scott Hill to apply for funding through the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) for development of new and existing sidewalks in the village. As the village must have plans in place prior to applying for the grant funding, council approved the hiring of Pickering Associates to complete the plans. The second resolution approved Christmas bonuses for employees of the village, with $15 for fulltime employees and $75 for parttime employees. State Rep. Jay Edwards (R-Nelsonville) attended the council meeting, discussing the needs of the village and the area. Edwards advised that he would work with and for the village on capital improvement funding. Hill reported that the mower with the various attachments purchased with excess funds from the water project has been delivered and that the dump truck should be delivered by the end of the year. It was explained to the newly elected council members in attendance — Kevin Dugan and Ashli Peterman — that the mower and the truck were purchased with the grant money from the project. The village is obligated to pay a certain amount on the loan even though bids on the project were under estimate, allowing the items to be purchased without any additional expense. Since the water line and meter project has been completed, Hill reported to council that every water hook-up in the village is now metered. Village administrator John Holman as calculated the amount of water pumped and treated and how many gallons were sold. Water loss has been reduced from 5 percent to 1.7 percent, which is a tremendous savings to the village. This also reduces the electricity used and the cost of chemicals for treatment. Fines collected in November included $30 to the state and $283 to the village. Attending the meeting were council members Robert Beegle, Ron Clark, Chad Hubbard, Jeff Morris and Ian Wise; Mayor Hill and Fiscal Ofﬁcer Janet Krider. The next council meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 2.

Rahab had hidden the two men, but she replied, ‘Yes, the men were here earlier, but I didn’t know where they were from. They left the town at dusk, as the gates were about to close. I don’t know where they went. If you hurry, you can probably catch up with them’” (V. 1-5 NLT). I know it seems strange that the hero of this story is a prostitute. But here’s the truth: God will work through you if you allow Him. Nonetheless, she lies to her government in order to protect God’s people. You see, the woman has a great opportunity to worry. But instead, she worships. How? Because she doesn’t allow an earthly commitment to trump a commitment to God. Here’s what I’m trying to say: Rahab, like Martha, had a responsibility. For Martha, she was hosting Jesus in her home. For Rahab, she was supposed to obey her king. Rahab reveals that although God desires us to be committed to our jobs, He is the only one who should control our lives. And as a result, Rahab worships God. True worship requires the right priorities. Be committed to your responsibilities, but only be controlled by God. Then, your worries can shift to worship.

I am more to provide salvation for wowed by the wisdom of anyone. But, the Virgin Conit. He worked a plan that ception worked by the Man cannot copy. The will of God cut the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ effectively blocks connection to humanman’s religious philoso- ity’s sinful progression. When Jesus Christ was phies from having any bases for having a claim born, therefore, He had no sinful nature, and, of personally providing throughout His earthly salvation. People who deny or declaim the real- life, He committed no sin. God requires a perity of the Virgin Birth fect salvation to get us actually prove a subtle chagrin at God for doing into His Heaven. The moral necessity of the expectations of God is rigorous in terms of the provision of it all. Could Man be so wise to ﬁgure that out? Could we have been so good to cover all the details? I do not think so. But, God did. He was smart enough, and divinely good enough. Once again, God did something for us we could not do for ourselves when it comes to eternal salvation. No wonder the Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ is so impressive. This point goes handin-glove with another impressive point about the Lord’s Virgin Birth. It is found in the truth that the Virgin conception and birth kept the divinity of Jesus Christ in tact. When Jesus Christ left Heaven to accomplish the salvation of Man, He was perfectly divine. He was God the Son. The effective parameter of His sacriﬁce was that even though born of a woman, He remained—-perfect and divine—-God the Son. The divinity of Jesus Christ meant that it was God who died on that Cross. God gave Himself sacriﬁcially in the perfect Person of His Son. I do not think I would be impressed with salvation if you had died on the Cross, because it would not have effectively counted. But, I am so blessed to know that God in the ﬂesh did it. I just think that God is pretty good about this salvation matter, especially since He worked it in which Man cannot assume any credit for it. So, what is your favorite part? The Rev.

Your question becomes even New Moons and your more difﬁcult when it appointed feasts My comes to God, who, soul hates; they are a being self-sufﬁcient, literally needs nothing we can give Him, and, being the Creator, most certainly needs none of our material goods or possessions. These are both points God Himself makes to us about Himself (cf. Acts 17:24-25; Psalm 50:9-11) Despite this, there are a considerable number of people who think of God as a beggarly sort of individual, satisﬁed with their meager crumbs. If they remember God occasionally, perhaps once or twice a year during celebrations, they calculate that God must be pleased. If they stop their sinning long enough to give lipservice to high-ideals like love, peace, and joy; they think to themselves they have done something grand, and God must be satisﬁed. What do you give the Creator who has everything? You give Him what He asks for; which is your life as a living sacriﬁce, holy and acceptable. (cf. Romans 12:1-2) If you have sin in your life, God wants you to repent and ﬁnd forgiveness for that sins. What does God want from you during the Holidays? Feasts, sacriﬁces, gifts, celebrations? No. Quite simply, He wants what He has always wanted. He wants you to actually listen and obey Him. �Daily Sentinel Friday, December 15, 2017 5A Meigs County Church Directory Fellowship Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ Apostolic Van Zandt and Ward Road.

WEDNESDAY 54° 34° Cloudy, a couple of showers possible could prove to be vital to surviving an emergency situation. Pack it with a ﬂashlight, ﬂares, jumper cables, phone charger, and a blanket, are all suggested by Potter. Also useful in case of an emergency is a bag of kitty litter. If your vehicle becomes stuck on a slick surface, sprinkling the litter under the tires can add traction and remedy the situation. “Keep your gas tank half full at all times in case you slide of the road and need to stay warm until help arrives,” stated Potter. Lastly, he also recommends having an ice scraper and a snow brush in the vehicle to clear windows of snow and ice.

Often times, door locks will freeze up when the temperature drops. “Spray a small amount of lock lube, something like WD-40 into the keyhole of your licks,” stated Potter. “This will prevent them from freezing.” Potter also suggests several items to keep in the vehicle in case of an emergency. While we live in an age of cell phones and immediate contact, cell phones are not always perfectly reliable or help may not be able to respond right away.

The Ohio Valley Christian girls basketball team suffered a 59-11 setback at the hands of non-conference guest Wellston on Tuesday evening in the Old French City. The Lady Rockets (2-3) took the lead on a three-pointer eight seconds into play and never relinquished it. The Lady Defenders (0-5) cut the deﬁcit to one-point with 5:50 left in the opening stanza, but Wellston closed the period with a 7-3 run and a 10-5 run. Ohio Valley Christian was held off the board entirely in the second quarter, as WHS stretched its lead to 30-5 by halftime. The Lady Rockets went on a 21-to-1 run in the third quarter, extending their advantage to 51-6 headed into the ﬁnale. After Wellston hit a three-pointer to open the fourth quarter, OVCS scored ﬁve straight points, including a trifecta that ended a 22:43 ﬁeld goal drought. WHS ended the game with ﬁve unanswered points, putting the ﬁnal touches on the 59-11 victory. For the game, the Lady Defenders shot 3-for-30 (10 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 1-of-8 (12.5 percent) from three-point territory. Wellston, on the other hand, was 25-of-79 (31.6 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 7-of-31 (22.6 percent) from beyond the arc. From the charity stripe, OVCS was 4-of-15 (26.7 percent) and WHS was 2-of-8 (25 percent). The Lady Rockets held a 50-to-25 rebounding advantage, including 27-to-5 on the offensive glass. Ohio Valley Christian claimed a 4-to-2 edge in blocked shots, while Wellston earned advantages of 12-to-2 in assists and 30-to-4 in steals. WHS won the turnover battle by a 34-to-10 margin.

Bell tried to grind it out. Emphasis on tried. By the middle of the second quarter he was on the sideline for good, a chilly bystander as the New England Patriots ran away with a 36-17 victory on their way to yet another Super Bowl title. “It sucked for me,” Bell said. The rest of the short-handed Steelers too. Eleven months later a rematch looms at Heinz Field when the Patriots (10-3) visit the AFC North champions on Sunday, a showdown that will ﬁnd Pittsburgh’s “Killer B’s” on the ﬁeld together against New England for the ﬁrst time. Martavis Bryant missed both games last season while serving a yearlong suspension. Ben Roethlisberger sat out a 27-16 regular-season home loss to the Patriots last fall while recovering from a knee injury. Neither Bell nor Bryant played in the 2015 season opener in New England after running afoul of league policy. This time around Pittsburgh has no health issues, no discipline issues and no excuses. The unit that spent a large portion of September and October searching for a rhythm has found it over the past month. The Steelers are averaging 33.25 points over their past four games, including 39 last Sunday night against Baltimore that clinched Pittsburgh’s third division title in four years and seemed to answer any lingering questions about Roethlisberger’s commitment level. The 35-year-old who looked every bit his age while throwing ﬁve picks in a loss to Jacksonville that no longer looks as surprising as it did at the time became the ﬁrst player in NFL history to See STEELERS | 3B OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Friday, Dec. 15 Boys Basketball Hannan at WVSU Hoops Classic, noon Meigs at River Valley, 7:30 Ironton at Gallia Academy, 7:30 Miller at Wahama, 7:30 Parkersburg Christian at Ohio Valley Christian, 7:30 Eastern at Waterford, 7:30 Southern at Federal Hocking, 7:30 Girls Basketball Parkersburg Christian at Ohio Valley Christian, 6 p.m. Rio Grande Athletics Women’s Basketball at Ohio Christian, 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 16 Boys Basketball South Gallia at River Valley, 8 p.m. Girls Basketball South Gallia at River Valley, 6 p.m. Southern at Federal Hocking, 7:30 Eastern at Belpre, 7:30 Wahama at Miller, 7:30 Wrestling Gallia Academy, Meigs, South Gallia at Vinton County VFW Post 5299 Invitational, 9 a.m. Wahama at Jackson County Invitational at Millwood, 10 a.m. Alex Hawley photos | OVP Sports Ohio Valley Christian sophomore Arden Peck (right) runs off of a screen set by classmate Levi Anderson (34), during the Defenders’ 65-19 loss on Tuesday in Gallipolis, Ohio. Defenders dropped by Wellston, 65-19 By Alex Hawley ahawley@aimmediamidwest.com GALLIPOLIS, Ohio — From the word go, the Golden Rockets were a forced to be reckoned with. The Wellston boys basketball team scored the ﬁrst 19 points of Tuesday night’s nonconference bout in the Old French City, and the visiting Blue and Gold rolled to a 65-19 over Ohio Valley Christian. The Golden Rockets (2-2) nearly held the Defenders (1-6) off the board in the opening quarter, but OVCS junior Justin Beaver hit a buzzer-beating three-pointer from well behind the line, making the WHS lead 19-3 at the end of the stanza. Ohio Valley Christian had its best offensive quarter in the second, scoring 11 points on a trio of ﬁeld goals and a quartet of free throws. However, Wellston poured in 20 points in the second, making its lead 39-14 at the halftime break. The Defenders scored three of the ﬁrst ﬁve points in the second half, but Wellston ended the third quarter with a 11-0 run and a 52-17 lead. In the ﬁnal stanza, the Golden Rockets outscored OVCS by a 13-2 clip, sealing the 65-19 win. In total, Ohio Valley Christian shot 6-of-43 (14 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 2-of-11 (18.2 percent) from three-point range. Meanwhile, Wellston was 25-of-75 (33.3 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 6-of-28 (21.4 percent) from beyond the arc. From the free throw line, OVCS was 5-of11 (45.5 percent) and WHS was 9-of-17 (52.9 percent). The Golden Rockets outrebounded the Defenders by a 54-to25 count, including 24-to-4 on the offensive end.

His players had no problem picking out the adjectives. “This was pretty bad,” defensive end Carlos Dunlap said. “It was embarrassing to put that up there and come out like that. It’s not what I expected.” A 33-7 drubbing by the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium ended the Bengals’ franchise-record streak of 22 straight games without giving up 30 points. It also was the longest active streak in the NFL. A defense missing six starters, including both cornerbacks and linebacker Vontaze Burﬁct, simply fell apart against the league’s last-ranked offense. The young ﬁll-ins and veterans alike made mistakes throughout and appeared to lack the determination to get things ﬁxed. The defense will be limited again Sunday when the Bengals (5-8) face the Vikings (10-3) and former coordinator Mike Zimmer in Minnesota. The Vikings can clinch the NFC North with a win. What will Zimmer’s former defense muster in a game with such little signiﬁcance for Cincinnati? “I just told them, the veteran guys in this room, there’ll be a lot said over the next three weeks on how you lead the team,” defensive coordinator Paul Guenther said. “At the end of the day, it’s my job to get you guys ready to play, but on Sunday the pressure is on you guys. You guys have to do this.” Cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones will miss the rest of the season with a groin injury. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick is recovering from a concussion, as is Burﬁct — both were held out of practice again Farmers Bank and Your School Wednesday. Linebacker Nick Vigil has an ankle injury. Defensive tackle Geno Smith was limited to a dozen plays against the Bears because of a toe injury. A priority this week is getting the energy level up among whoever is on the ﬁeld. “There’s no magic drink,” safety George Iloka said. “On Sunday, every individual has to ﬁnd it within themselves. There’s nothing anybody can do or say.” How the Bengals play in December will be a reﬂection on Lewis, who is ﬁnishing the ﬁnal year of his contract. Backto-back home losses against the Steelers and Bears doomed Cincinnati to a second straight season without a winning record.

Roethlisberger connected with seven players during Pittsburgh’s eighth straight victory. And while Antonio Brown put up his weekly eye-popping numbers (11 receptions for 213 yards), tight end Jesse James caught a careerhigh 10 passes. Even fullback Rosie Nix got in on it , pulling down the ﬁrst touchdown of his career in the fourth quarter when he made a grab in the end zone over Baltimore safety Tony Jefferson. “I was like, ‘Everybody OH-70004516 www.markporterauto.com is eating, where’s my plate?’” Smith-Schuster said. Ben is on ﬁre right now. He’s hot. For him to throw 66 balls in a single game like that, 500 yards, and everybody gets their touches, I mean, it makes it even tougher just to watch the game.

Patriots coach Bill Belichick has built a Hall of Fame career by ﬁnding one option on the other team and doing what it takes to neutralize him. Even he’s aware that Pittsburgh has as many options as any team in the league. He called Bell, the league’s leading rusher, “almost impossible to stop.” When asked if he considers Brown a legitimate Most Valuable Player contender, Belichick isn’t sure Brown is the only MVP candidate in Pittsburgh’s huddle. “He’s a great player,” Belichick said. “Give it to Bell too. Give it to Roethlisberger too if you want too. They’re all really good.” And primed to take a step that’s been elusive for the better part of a decade. “Guys like JuJu and Martavis and the tight ends, myself, got to make plays,” Bell said. “Can’t just be 84 all the time in the passing game. Got to be other guys too. I feel like we’ve got the playmakers to do it.

On Dec. 15, 1967, the Silver Bridge, connecting downtown Point Pleasant with Kanagua, Ohio, collapsed into the Ohio River during rush hour trafﬁc at Christmas, taking the lives of 46 souls. In a matter of minutes, the area suffered losses and casualty numbers similar to those seen in mass shootings in more recent memory, and at a time when communications and emergency response preparedness were nowhere near where they are today. As with any tragedy, it had far-reaching effects on residents and the area. Everyone had a story about where they were when the bridge fell, including some who were on it, like Buddy Fowler. Fowler and several of his relatives worked at Mason Furniture in the TNT area during the 1960’s, and were on their way home after work that day. Fowler is from the Mercerville area in Gallia County, while two of his passengers lived further down into Scottown, Ohio in Lawrence County, Ohio. Fowler’s car, ﬁlled with six passengers, was crossing into Ohio when the bridge collapsed, his being the last car on the Ohio side when it collapsed. “We started across it that day,” he said “It went to shimmying and shaking, and I said ‘this bridge is gonna fall’ right about the time we hit ground.” Later, Fowler said: “I went around seeing who I could help getting out of the cars. It’s all I could’ve done is try and help somebody.” He explained that one aspect of that day that has stuck with him is the people in the water, and his inability to help them. “The boys in the river, it didn’t make a difference for them,” said Fowler. “It made people nervous for a long time, they were scared to go over a bridge after that.” Hobart Wilson, Jr., was the Gallipolis Daily Tribune managing editor at the time of the bridge collapse. He was about to attend the annual Bob Evans Christmas Party at Washington Elementary before a staff member named Dick Thomas contacted him to tell him about what had just happened. Thomas told Wilson he needed the camera pronto and that the bridge collapsed. At that time, the paper only had one graphite camera named “Ol’ Betsy.” Wilson asked “What Bridge?” before Thomas said “the Silver Bridge” and uttered a quick swear word. Thomas came to acquire the camera and went to photograph the event before Wilson followed. “Dick got the camera and went on up and I went back to the ofﬁce and got some more folders (to take more pictures)…I got up there and it was really cold and I took the back ﬂood escape road because I ﬁgured there would be a trafﬁc jam,” said Wilson. “I got maybe a 100 yards from the area and walked up there…I looked up and I just couldn’t believe it. It was all gone and just a big pile of twisted vehicles.” Wilson said the paper received obituaries into April of the following year detailing the lives of those who had died in the bridge disaster. Denny Bellamy, the tourism director of Mason County, has lived in Point Pleasant, W.Va. the majority of his life. Bellamy was in the third grade approaching age 10 when the Silver Bridge collapsed. “The thing I remember is my father and I were supposed to go to the grocery store,” Bellamy said. “My mother was working on Main Street at the time. I didn’t want to go to the store, so I climbed a tree. I saw my mother heading home and she was crying and I thought she was mad. When the bridge fell my mother was on Main Street and she thought my father and I were on bridge. She came to me and started hugging and kissing me.” Bellamy also said: “What affected me most at that time was I loved to ride the ferry. I was playing little league for Kyger Creek and we got to ride the ferry. Also, a little girl from OVP A look at the collapse site following the Silver Bridge disaster. “We started across it that day. It went to shimmying and shaking, and I said ‘this bridge is gonna fall’ right about the time we hit ground.” Buddy Fowler my class was on the bridge and there was an empty desk in my classroom. I remember it didn’t affect Christmas, it still came. Little kids can absorb anything and go on. I grew up with this.” Bob Fisher is a current resident of Ravenswood, W.Va. but lived in Middleport, Ohio for the majority of his life. He worked in Point Pleasant and was on his way home from work the night the Silver Bridge collapsed. “I crossed that bridge every other night,” said Fisher. “The secretary from my work was the car ahead of me that night and we were the only two cars on the bridge. When I got to Cheshire, a squad passed me. I thought it was strange, but I went home to eat my dinner. That’s when I heard the Silver Bridge fell and I couldn’t believe it.” Todd Mayes of Henderson, W.Va. is a retired school teacher with Gallia Local Schools. That fateful day in 1967, he was headed home from work, leaving the Kyger Creek area and headed to Point Pleasant. He recalls it was nearing dusk and it was a cold, winter day with some light snow on the ground. He also recalled before he left work, noticing a dent on the driver’s side door on his Fiat. Veering from his normal routine of heading straight home, he stopped at the Fiat dealership to get some touch-up paint. When he left the dealership, which was near where the old Kanauga Drive-In used to sit, he said he saw the bridge was still there. With his windows up as well as the heater and radio on, he then headed towards the bridge when he heard what he thought was thunder. He said he felt lucky he could just squeeze through the trafﬁc light in Kanauga to get up on the bridge’s ramp when he got halfway up and noticed, there was no bridge. He said it took a few moments for the reality to sink in that the bridge was gone and he backed his OVP The grim work of recovering bodies from the Ohio River. “I got maybe a 100 yards from the area and walked up there…I looked up and I just couldn’t believe it.

He talked about seeing a man laying beside a truck and going to help him when a woman wearing a fur coat came in from behind and placed it on top of the man to keep him warm. Mayes walked the riverbank to see if anyone else needed help on land that he could assist but found no one. In a surreal scene out of his reach, he said he also saw a man holding onto a box, ﬂoating down the river, yelling for help. “I think people did what they could at the time…there wasn’t much hope for those who went in…it was a tragic time for the City of Point Pleasant. The days after seemed to be more traumatic because I happened to be one of the lucky ones. It didn’t really hit me until I found out who was on OVP Divers were part of the recovery effort following the tragedy. the bridge.” Mayes said he never thought something like a little dent in his door would “amount to anything” but he believes it saved his life that day. As for everything else he saw that cold afternoon and remembers vividly: “It wasn’t a pleasant memory, but it’s still a memory.” Contributing to this story were Beth Sergent, Morgan McKinniss, Dean Wright, Erin Perkins. �6B Friday, December 15, 2017 Daily Sentinel Eyewitnesses recall the tragedy Stories of surprising survival and heartbreaking loss that’s how I got this (show his right wrist had been cut).

The bridge was ofﬁcially named the Gallipolis-Point Pleasant Bridge. It was unofﬁcially named the Silver Bridge due to its aluminum paint which made it unique at the time. It was the ﬁrst bridge in the world to be coated with aluminum. Dr. Charles Holzer has been recognized as being one of the people who helped push the project that was completed in one year and opened to trafﬁc in 1928. At the grand opening of the bridge, there were an estimated 10,000 people at the event that was talked about not only in the immediate area, but across the Midwest. The bridge was a twolane, 1760-foot-long eyebar suspension bridge with a 700-foot main span 102 feet above the bottom of the Ohio River channel and two 380-foot anchor spans. The bridge was sold to West Virginia in 1941 and in 1951, was made “toll free.” The bridge was not designed to hold the weight of increasing trafﬁc and heavier vehicles over ensuing years. It had a “one-eighth of an inch crack” in one of the structure’s eyebars that caused the disaster. VICTIMS OF THE SILVER BRIDGE DISASTER Adler, E. Albert “Bert”, Jr. Bennett, Julius Oliver “J.
