Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney Colleen Willian1s has said she's not personally handling this proceeding because she doesn't want any conflict of interest and wants to maintain a good working relationship with local law enforcement, so that in the end ''everyone feels there was a fair and objective look at the case." There have been no charges filed against the 43 years later: The Silver Bridge disaster Bv DELYSSA HUFFMAN POINT PLEASANT - It was a day much like today 43 years ago. The hustle and bustle of holiday shoppers and business commuters filled the streets in downtown Point Pleasant. The weather was chilly and snow flurries were on the way. Along Sixth Street. lines of vehicles were stopped at the traffic light to cross the Silver Bridge leading into Kanauga. Ohio. Around 5 p.m., the rush-hour traffic was backed up on the bridge built just 39 years earlier. The new eye-bar suspension design had, up untij this point, maintained the strain put on it. But on Dec. 15. 1967, the bridge fell. Into the icy and dark Ohio River below. the Silver Bridge took with it 46 victims. A total of nine people were injured. However, the bodies of two people lost on that tragic day were never recovered. In the days, weeks and months following. citizens from across the region and nation rallied around the local community to mourn those lost in the disaster. President Lyndon B. Johnson declared the tragedy a national disa5ter. lt was later determined by the National Transportation Safety Board that the c.ollapse was caused by a cleavage fracture in the lower limb of eye-bar 330 at joint C13N of the north eye-bar suspension chain on the Ohio side of bridge. A minor flaw may have led to the accident. but a major movement by Congre"" "oon followed in 1968. The inspection and maintenance of all bridges in the United States (some I million) is now required by federal law. Today. as we remember those affected by the collapse of the Silver Bridge, we reflect with families. friends, neighbors, co-workers and loved ones, share in their grief and remember those who were lost. Although they are gone, they are tmly not forgotten. Meeting rescheduled POMEROY Pomeroy Village Council's regular meeting scheduled for Monday, Dec. 13 was rescheduled to 7 p.m.. Thursday.

Becker BY AMBER GILLENWATER MDTNEWS@MYDAILYTRIBUNE.COM WEATIIER I High: 28 GALLIPOLIS Officials with Gallia County Sheriff's Office have recently received several reports of attempted phone scams that have occurred throughout the county and sheriff's office officials are now wruning residents to be wary of any suspicious phone calls. According to Gallia County Sheriff Joe Browning. the calls have been mainly directed toward elderly indi\ iduals and involve the caller posing as a relative and ·asking for personal information. Frequently, the caller poses as a relative in distress who is in an emergency situation and needs money to remedy the situation. The latest rep01ted inci- dent. which occurred Tuesday morning, involved a male caller advising an elderly Gallia County woman that he was her grandson and needed her bank account number due to a recent car accident he had been involved in. The woman did not recognize the voice as that of her grandson, hung up the phone and reported the information to the sheriff's office. Browning reported that his agency receives reports of similar schemes regularly and he advises all residents to be cautious of suspicious phone· calls and to never give out personal information to individuals they do not recognize over the phone. The most recent warning about statewide phone-related scams was issued by the office of Ohio Attorney General Richard Cordray on Aug. 30. This scam involved the use of tele~hone relay systems by scammers contacting small businesses. Telephone relay systems are used widely by deaf individuals and, reportedly. the scamrners would feign to be deaf~ contact small businesses communicating through written typed messages.

The honorees were employee Janet Ambrose, and retirees. Robert Burton. Allen Downie. Harold Roush, James Fry. and Roger Leifheit. The grants come through the AEP Connects program which recognizes the commitment of AEP employees, retirees and family members to their communities and supports causes that are important to them. according to Michael G. Morris, chairman. president and chief executive ofticer. More than 940 grants were made companywide last year represent- ing more than 124,000 volunteer hours donated by AEP employees and retirees. "Although no monetary grant can compare to the value of the time our employees and retirees give to worthwhile causes, the $150 grants made by this program in the names of AEP volunteers will help schools and nonprofit organizations meet the challenges of fulfilling important human needs," Morris said. The honored AEP volunteers provide a large amount of general maintenance, upkeep to the building, and assistance to the Food Pantry by pruticipating in preparations for the food give-aways as well as sorting and storing items which come to the Meigs Coopcratiw Parish. These volunteer hours of service save the organization money that is now heing used to provide services to the needy residents of Meigs County. "Thank you American Electric Power for the generosity and appreciation of your employees and retired workers for taking part in volunteer \vork here." said Alva Clark. director of the Meigs Cooperative Parish. "Volunteers are the backbone to the services provided through the Parish progran1s.'" he concluded. �The Daily Sentinel • Page White WASHINGTON The White insisted Tuesday that implementation President Obama's landmark care law will not be ed by a negative court ruling. and Justice Department would appeal.

This included food they had around the house, like popcorn, baked goods, fruits, vegetables, and then they t.ook the food off the e and ate it. ickles were good to use as ~ tree decorations. according to Romine, because they were shiny and easy to hang. everyone had some on hand and they did not spoil very fast. Many families placed orre pickle on the tree hiding it well for a pickle search game where the finder received a prize. Pickle ornaments made of glass or plastic are avatlable now and many families continue the tradition. · At the conclusion of her program, Romine presented each member with a pickle ornament.

Dear Dr. Brothers: I recently retired from a large state univer!;ity where I enjoyed a long and fruitfuJ career and had many friend~. I decided to move to a different neighborhood from· the on-campus one I had been living in for some time. It is as though a whole new world is opening up to me. and I am finding it a bit hard to adjust. While I am used to scientists, most of the people in my new area are artistic, free souls that I find a bit undisciplined. Maybe I am too old to do this.-C.M. .Dear CM.: You must be feeling a bit disoriented because of the change of venue and the culture shock associated with exploring a new side of yourself - a~ well as a new side of the university. But it should be an interesting ride if you don't get discouraged and go back to your comfort zone, which will feel a bit restricting after you have made the decision to keep growing in your personal life. As a scientist, perhaps you can look at this as a grand experiment - but one in which you actually can influence the outcome. Whether your retirement is all you want it to be is largely in your hands, and that should make you feel a little more comfortable. There's no reason you can't keep some of your old friends in the scientific and academic community as you move to explore another side of your brain. People tend to like others who are positive, flexible and interested in what they are doing and what they have to offer. So you may want to concentrate on just a few individuals you have met and see what you can learn about them. Chances are, after a few rounds of coffee or concerts. or peeking into their workspac~s and private spaces, you·u be ready to be a bit more creative with your own work or hobbies. In any case, I think you should give it a try. Dear Dr. Brothers: Don't laugh. but I am writ- Dr. Joyce Brothers ing about my brother's. • duck.

Now they are having a lot of fun taking care of it and letting it swim in the bathtub. etc. I don't know if it is a boy or a girl, but it is gening·sort of loud. and they are worried that the landlord will find out · and make them get rid of it. I say it is a dumb idea to have it anyway. and they are being selfish. Who is right? - J. Y. Dear J.Y.: I think this is less a question of .who is ''right" than it is of why these people let their need for immediate gratification get the best of them. Baby ducks and chicks, and most other babies. are designed to be irresistible - literally. It is so they will be cared for by their parents. or by surrogates. like young couples who want to bring them home and play with them. This urge is vel)' hard to resist.

Our hearing is scheduled Dec. 27. PA did not even share the preliminary findings of the Jacob Study with our three Commissioners which in some ways would have· negatively impacted their toll proposal. They did not on Nov. 4, 2010. provide them with the final completed Jacobs Report. A private citizen obtained a copy and presented it to them at their Nov. 5, 2010, meeting. It was the revelations in that study that caused the Commission, within 24 hours of the study's release. to set a special meeting on Nov. 10, 20 I 0, to rescind their approval vote. Had there been full disclosure back on Sept. 30, 20 10, the PA would never have gotten the first vote of approval. Based on a questionable technicality ruling by the WVSC of Appeals, the DOH and PA are forcing a toll proposal onto the people of Mason County. It is the intention of the Legislature in SB 427 to give the people of our county the right to deny a tolling proposal in Mason County or else the approval vote of the County Commission would never have been required. WelL Legislators, here's where Mason County stands on this issue. Our Mason County Commission, having received fuller disclosure of findings, as of Nov. 10,2010. by a 2-1 vote opposed the toll proposal. Two of our Commissioners have been quoted in the media several times recently stating that their research shows 90 percent of Mason County residents are opposed to tolling US 35. The Jacob Study finding was that 6065 percent of local residents would not pay the tolls and opposed it. The Mason County Area Chamber of Commerce published a letter in our local paper opposing the tolling. The City of Pt. Pleasant and the town of Henderson have signed resolutions stating they are in opposition. At a meeting of t Virginia Parkways.

One person's rights end where another person's rights begin. Nobody's rights trump anyone else's. The clear understanding · of our fundamental rights has eroded over the decades. The property right has suffered the greatest damage. Under the influence of progressive/ socialist ideas, the traditional American negative right to not have somebody take one's property has been conupted and inverted into a positive premise. Now. people often claim a ''right" to have certain things. One of the most famous examples of this inverted concept of rights was President Frankl in Roosevelt ·s so-called "Economic Bill of Rights." In 1944, FOR asserted that Americans had a ''right to a useful and remunerative job,'' "a decent home,'' "adequate medical care, ·• "a "' good education." etc. porting. • Nobody objects to But don't we decent jobs, homes. responsibility health care, and educa- those who are i tion. but these good things can't be "rights."

Retail sales are rising. boosted by the best month for department stores in two years. Inflation remains tame. Businesses are restocking their shelves in anticipation of more consumer demand. And a survey of CEOs at America's biggest companies suggests hiring will pick up in the next six months. High unemployment remains a concern. The Federal Reserve singled out the nation's 9.8 percent jobless rate Tuesday when it said it plans to maintain the pace of its $600 billion Treasury bond-buying program. But the latest government data, combined with an emerging package of tax cuts and longterm unemployment benefits, are prompting economists to ramp up their forecasts for growth in the months ahead. "We could be on the verge of a period of economic activity that will surprise everybody by how strong it is," said Jonathan Basile, a vice president for economics at Credit Suisse Securities. "That tends to happen in recoveries when everything starts to ignite at the same time." Retail sales jumped 0.8 percent in November, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. It was the fifth straight monthly gain. Department stores led the way with a 2.8 percent gain, the biggest for this category since a 3 percent increase in November 2008. Retailers have been particularly aggressive in their holiday sales promotions this year, putting many consumers 111 the mood to spend despite high unemployment and weak job gains. The holiday shopping season accounts for as much as 40 percent of annual revenue and profits for retailers. "It seems there were Black Friday sales, preBlack Friday sales and post-Black Friday sales," said Joel Naroff. chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisers. Best Buy Co., which decided against discounting as deeply as retailers such as Wai-Mart Stores Inc., ended up paying for it. The largest U.S. electronics chain sa1d its quarterly net income, covering a three-month period ending Nov. 27, fell more than expected as that it lost sales ofTVs and laptops to competitors. The Minneapolisbased chain also reduced its full-year outlook. Best Buy's shares fell nearly 16 percent in mid-afternoon trading. Other retailers got a boost not only from holiday sales but from the weather. A cold November, following two months of unseasonably warm weather, helped boost sales of coats and other winter gear in much of the country. Consumer spending is closely watched because it accounts for 70 percent of total economic activity. A drop in retail sales in May and June had raised fears that the economy could be in danger of slipping back into recession. November's betterthan-expected sales fig- · ures are prompting many economists to revise their forecasts for consumer spending growth in the October-December quarter. Basile has upgraded his forecast by a full percentage point, to 3.2 percent from 2.2 percent, because of the retail data and last week's report that the trade deficit narrowed in October. The signs of growth were not enough to persuade the Fed to pull back on its bond purchases, which are intended to lower long-term interest rates, lift stock prices and encourage higher spending. Investors had wanted the Fed to increase its bond buying to stop interest rates from rising as result of anticipated federal tax cuts. After the Fed announced that it would maintain the pace of its purchases, Treasury prices sank. pushing their yields to their highest level since May. The yield on the 10year note helps set interest rates on many of loans including m gages. Bond yields ha been rismg over the past two months as investors have raised their expectations for growth and inflation. Higher interest rates could threaten the gains the economy has made. Many economists caution that the economy won't take a leap forward without more hiring and higher pay. That may not bet. too far away, according to a new survey of executives of America's largest companies. The Business Roundtable survey found that 45 percent plan to hire within six months. k.i·q · Fed cites unemployment in sticking with bond plan WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Reserve said Tuesday it will maintain the pace of its $600 billion Treasury bondbuying program because a slowly improving economy is still too weak to bring down high unemployment. The Fed's bond purchases are intended to lower long-term interest rates, lift stock prices and encourage spending. But its decision not to increase its purchases rattled bond investors. who fear a tax-c,ut plan in Congress could fuel enough growth to drive up interest rates. Chris Rupkey, an economist at Bank of TokyoMitsubishi UFJ. said jnvestors worry the Fed's bond-buying program won't achieve its goal of reducing long-term rates. Those rates have been rising in recent weeks as investors have raised their expectations for growth and inflation. ''Maybe bond buyers wanted to hear the Fed say it's not working, so we will buy more," Rupkey said. Fed policymakers said they'll continue to monitor the program. They left open the option of buying more bonds if the economy weakens, or less if it strengthens more than expected. But after the Fed issued its statement, Treasury prices sank, pushing their yields higher. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note jumped to 3.46 percent, its highest level since May and well above the 3.28 percent it traded at late Monday. The yield on the 10-year note helps set rates on many kinds of loans including mortgages. Higher rates could slow the economy. They could also weigh on the stock market. Stock prices lost some of their gains after the Fed issued its statement. The Dow Jones industrial average rose about 44 points. Broader market averages posted slighter gains. Critics contend that the Fed's bond-purchase program would do little to help the economy and could hurt it by unleashing inflation and specula- tive buying. in assets like continuing, thought at a stocks. rate that has been insuffiBut the Fed, in its state- cient to bring down ment, said it saw no threat unemployment." of inflation.

Thomas Hoenig, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, dissented on Tuesday for an eight straight meeting. ~~!aT~~~~?own: H~~~or~l~ren~nt~?te on th~h~~~s~~~hegt~ypr~~~m, - In a new showdown, the House this week will take up a bill that would overturn the military's "don 't ask, don't tell'' policy on gays, Democratic leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday. The move would put pressure on the Senate to delay its holiday adjournment plans and take up a standalone repeal bill sponsored last week by Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine and Connecticut's independent senator, Joseph Lieberman. That bill's fate has been in doubt because of other pressing issues facing the Senate with only days to go before it planned to conelude its lame-duck ses- Repeal advocates see this week as their last best shot at overturning "don't ask, don't tell," which bars gay troops from acknowledging their sexual orientation. Next year, Republicans take back control of the House and additional Senate seats, severely undercutting the chances that any Democratic priority will advance come January. "This discriminatory and harmful policy has weakened America's security by depriving us of the work of tens of thousands of gay and lesbian troops who have served their country honorably," Hoyer said in a statement. ''And it has severely compromised value of integrity." The congressional debate comes as the head of the Marine Corps told reporters that lifting the ban during wartime could cost lives. "I don't want to lose any Marines to the distraction," said Marine Commandant Gen. James Amos. "I don't want to have any Marines that I'm visiting at Bethesda (Naval Medical Center) with no legs be the result of any type of distraction." Other senior military officials have countered that changing the law during wartime is preferable because troops are more focused on survival than a colleague's sexual Hoyer on Tuesday said he would introduce the bill with Pennsylvania Democratic Rep. Patrick Murphy as his co-sponsor. A vote was expected as early as Wednesday. Last May, the House voted 234-194 in favor of repeal legislation as part of a broader defense policy bill. But that bill has stalled in the Senate where Republicans have blocked it on procedural grounds and questioned unrelated provisions, including one that would allow abortions at overseas military facilities. A stand-alone bill to overturn the military ban on openly gay troops has been introduced by Collins and Lieberman in slimmed-down version would attract fewer objections. But that bill had been considered a long-shot because any Senate action would require House approval with just days before Congress was to adjourn. The last-minute House vote would eliminate that concern and put pressure on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, DNev., to keep the Senate in session past this weekend to wrap up any unfinished business. Jim Manley, a spokesman for Reid, said the majority leader is planning a vote on the bill at some point before adjournment, although remained unclear. Sixty senators are believed to support the bill, giving it a filibusterproof majority. if enough debate time is allowed. It has some 40 co-sponsors with Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia being the only known Democratic opponent. At least four RepublicansCollins. and Sens. John Ensign of Nevada, Scott Brown of Massachusetts and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska- have said they back repeal. ''We'll soon tind out if promises made will be promises kept,'' said Joe Solmonese, president of the Human Rights Campaign, an advocate of repealing the law. --~----------------------------------------------~· Earmarkers feast on pork one last time before diet WASHINGTON lAP) - The spending barons on Capitol Hill, long used to muscling past opponents of bills larded with pet projects, are seeking one last victory before tea party-backed GOP insurgents storm Congress intent on ending the good old days of pork-barrel politics. You might call it the last runrung of the old bulls in Congress. In the waning days of the lame duck congressional session, Democrats controlling the Senate in collaboration with a handful of old school Republicans - are pushing to wrap more than $1.2 trillion wo11h of unfinished budget work into a single "omnibus" appropriations bill. Their 1,900-plus-page bill comes to the floor this week stuffed with provisions sought by lawmakers. It contains thousands of pet projects, known as earmarks, pushed by Democratic and GOP senators alike - despite a pledge by Repu~Jicans to give up such proJects next year. "That omnibus bill will be loaded down with earmarks and pork barrel spending, which is a direct - a direct - betrayal of the majority of voters on Nov. 2 who said 'Stop the earmarking, stop the spending, stop the pork barrel projects,"' protested Sen. John McCain, RAriz. The catchall bill is designed to bankroll the of every operations Cabinet agency for the budget year that started Oct. 1, as well as$ I58 billion to pay for wars in Afghanistan and Jraq. It also challenges President Barack Obama. administrationOne opposed provision would block the Pentagon from transferring Guantanamo Bay prisoners to the United States. Another would provide $450 million for a program to develop a second engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter despite a veto threat by the administration, which says it's a waste of money. The architect of the measure, Senate Apt:iropriations Committee Chairman Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, has been working with senior Republicans on the panel Thad Cochran of Mississippi. Robert Bennett of Utah and Christopher Bond of Missouri - to line up the 60 votes needed to repel a filibuster promised by GOP Sen. Jim DeMint o{ South Carolina and other conservatives. "We remain cautiously optimistic," said Inouye spokesman Rob Blumenthal. Inouye's measure would replace a slightly less expensive bill that the House passed last week. The House bill doesn't contain earmarks like road and agricultural research projects, water treatment plants and grants for local anti-drug campaigns. House Democrats. hu'hever. would gladly accept the fatter Senate version. Its many earmarks include $80 million in grants to states and Indian tribes to preserve Pacific salmon and $13 million in clean water grants for rural and Alaska native viJiages.

No concerns about unrest in the stands. Probably not much in the way of organized "Akron Hates You" chants, either. LeBron vs. Cleveland, Round 2 awaits in Miami on Wednesday. And it won't have anywhere n~ar the cache of the first meeting. James took notice of that truth on Tuesday when the Heat finished practice and only a dozen or so reporters were in the gym, as opposed to the "300," by his own estimate, who were around the team for the buildup to Miami's trip to Cleveland back on Dec. 2 - the two-tlme MVP's return to the city he jilted by signing with the Heat. Led by James, Miami won by 28 that night, even with fans chanting that his hometown hates him and other rather colorful things for much of the evening. The Heat haven't lost since. Cleveland hasn't won since. "lt doesn't feel like just another opponent," James said. That's because, well, Cleveland isn't just another opponent. Not to James, anyway. He was criticized for talking to some Cavs' players, longtime friend Daniel Gibson in particular, and Cleveland's bench during the game two weeks ago. More heat might be coming, because James apparently has more to say to his old team. "I'll probably be talking to them ... again," said James, who insisted that there was no joking around going on during the exchanges he had in the Dec. 2 matchup. Not much is funny to Cleveland these days. Losers of eight straight - four of those by at least 20 whatever good feeling there was over a 5-5 start without James is long gone now. Cavaliers guard Mo Williams· downplayed the rematch between teams heading in opposite directions. "Our concern is not them right now, it's us,'' Williams said following practice Tuesday. "We're going through a tough time right now and we need to get a win. We need to stay positive and stay focused and this thing will turn around. Nobody likes to lose. We definitely know we can play better. We can't let anything else cloud our goal and our goal is getting better." As if the James-Cavs stuff wasn't saucy enough for a story line, there's also the matter of Miami looking for NBA history. According to STATS LLC, only three teams have won 10 consecutive games by at least 10 points apiece. Miami has won .nine straight, all of them by double figures, and could join the 200708 Houston Rockets, 2003-04 New Jersey Nets and 1946-47 Washington Capitols in that exclusive club if they beat the Cavs by 10 or more on Wednesday. "We're starting to figure out how this team is going to play all year, how we're going to be effective," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. "The Angels Dainels grabbed six rebounds, Ward and Young had four each, Lanham added three, and Halley Barnes had one. Ward and Young had five steals a piece, Samantha Barnes and Daniels each had two, and Lanham added one. Daniels had one block. The Blue Angels were 19-47 for 40 percent from the field in the game and 10-20 for 50 percent from the free throw line. Gallia Academy had a team total of 16 turnovers and nine fouls.
