So we now have 40.” Saunders said the initial hotspots circulated 44 times in March. The board approved the placement of the 20 additional hotspots in the April board meeting. “Currently, we’ve got about a 137 people on hold (waiting to use a hotspot),” said Saunders. “We have a little bit larger than a three-to-one ratio on holds. The wait right now is probably sitting at about four to six weeks to get a unit. Then they would have unlimited data on the hotspot for a period of 14 days when they checkout. So, it’s been very popular.” “We’ve had responses from patrons who use the hotspots while traveling,” continued Saunders.

This contract is similar to one utilized by Meigs County EMS, according to Commissioners Randy Smith, Mike Bartrum and Tim Ihle. It will allow the AG’s office, which has a staff dedicated to this purpose, to attempt to collect these fees, described as filing fees, estimated to be in excess of $2 million owed to the county. Meigs County Prosecuting Attorney James Stanley had approved the contract prior to the commissioners voting upon it.

Edwin Leo Elliot began life’s journey on January 29, 1925. He was born at home, to Oscar Eugene and Osa Wickline Elliott near the small community of Bethesda, in Walnut Township, Gallia County. He was welcomed into the family by brothers Morris, Max, Carl, and his sister Jennie. His oldest sister Ada had already died in infancy. Later, his brother Lester completed this large rural family. Edwin grew up during the Great Depression, which had a tremendous influence on his life. During this time in Gallia County, families helped their neighbors and never turned strangers in need away. Edwin was true to his teaching throughout his life, always willing to help those in need. His career spanned many years, using his knowledge and skills to serve others. In 1944, Edwin married Dorothy Louise Steger in Greenup, Ky. She preceded him in death, in 2008, after 63 years of marriage. They had three children, Diana (Bob) Drummond, Michael, and Steve (Cathy Twyman). Much of Edwin’s life, he was selfemployed and specialized in heating and cooling systems. He worked at the Gallipolis State Institute during the 1960s. Edwin finished his career working for Buckeye Rural Electric as a member service director. Fitting, since his father Oscar helped to organize Buckeye Rural Electric to rural Southeastern Ohio during the 1930s. He was a member of the Centenary United Methodist Church where he was baptized in 1958. It was this church family that kept Edwin and Louise’s spirits up as health issues developed in their later years. During his lifetime, he and Louise were privileged to travel to many distant lands, Turkey, Yugoslavia, Nassau, Canada, and Jamaica as well as Hawaii, the western states, the U.S. capital and others. Edwin was preceded in death by both his parents and brothers, Morris (Pearl), and their sons Richard and Jim Elliott VIRGINIA ANNE ‘SUSIE’ MARTIN GALLIPOLIS — Virginia Anne “Susie” Martin, 75, passed at her residence Wednesday May 3, 2017.

Engineer’s office receives new excavator Staff Report GALLIPOLIS — Gallia County Engineer Brett Boothe recently purchased a new Gradall wheeled excavator from Southeastern Equipment using the state of Ohio purchasing contract for $369,964.80 and financed through U.S. Bank of Gallipolis. Wheeled excavators are used for roadside ditching, culvert replacements, bridge replacements and more. The are the most used construction equipment by the Gallia County Highway Department. The County Highway Department were down from four wheeled excavators several years ago to essentially one reliable wheeled excavator before this purchase and were unable to put off the expense of a new wheeled excavator purchase any longer. The new Gradall is the same size as the last Gradall purchased by the Gallia County Engineer in 2008 for nearly $270,000. Cost has risen significantly due the continued increased in federal emission standards. A Gradall costs nearly three times that of a backhoe, but would outwork three backhoes in ditching operations, according to Boothe. “We are very fortunate to have both a local business like Southeastern Equipment to provide the best price on the new Gradall in the state and getting the best financing rate from a local bank in U.S. Bank of Gallipolis,” said Boothe.

There are 238 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 7, 1942, U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright went on a Manila radio station to announce the Allies’ surrender of the Philippines to Japanese forces during World War II. On this date: In 1789, America’s first inaugural ball was held in New York in honor of President George Washington, who’d taken the oath of office a week earlier. In 1824, Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 in D minor, Op. 125, had its premiere in Vienna. In 1915, a German U-boat torpedoed and sank the British liner RMS Lusitania off the southern coast of Ireland, killing 1,198 people, including 128 Americans, out of the nearly 2,000 on board. In 1939, Germany and Italy announced a military and political alliance known as the RomeBerlin Axis. In 1941, Glenn Miller and His Orchestra recorded “Chattanooga Choo Choo” for RCA Victor. In 1945, Germany signed an unconditional surrender at Allied headquarters in Rheims (rams), France, ending its role in World War II. In 1954, the 55-day Battle of Dien Bien Phu in Vietnam ended with Vietnamese insurgents overrunning French forces. In 1963, the United States launched the Telstar 2 communications satellite. In 1975, President Gerald R. Ford formally declared an end to the “Vietnam era.” In Ho Chi Minh City — formerly Saigon — the Viet Cong celebrated its takeover. In 1977, Seattle Slew won the Kentucky Derby, the first of his Triple Crown victories. In 1984, a $180 million out-of-court settlement was announced in the Agent Orange class-action suit brought by Vietnam veterans who charged they’d suffered injury from exposure to the defoliant. In 1992, the latest addition to America’s space shuttle fleet, Endeavour, went on its first flight. A 203-year-old proposed constitutional amendment barring Congress from giving itself a midterm pay raise received enough votes for ratification as Michigan became the 38th state to approve it. Ten years ago: President George W. Bush welcomed Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II to the White House, drawing laughter when he mistakenly started to say that the queen had previously helped the U.S. celebrate its bicentennial in “17…,” then quickly corrected himself to say “1976.” Six Muslim immigrants from the former Yugoslavia and the Middle East were arrested and accused of plotting to massacre U.S. soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey. (Five were later convicted in federal court of conspiring to kill military personnel; the sixth was charged only with gun offenses, and pleaded guilty.) Yahweh Ben Yahweh, a former cult leader in Miami linked to nearly two dozen gruesome killings in the 1980s, died at age 71. Five years ago: Education Secretary Arne Duncan broke ranks with the White House, stating his unequivocal support for same-sex marriage a day after Vice President Joe Biden said on NBC that he was “absolutely comfortable” with gay couples marrying. (Two days later, President Barack Obama declared his support for same-sex marriage, a position he had previously stopped short of embracing.) Vladimir Putin took the oath of office as Russia’s president for the next six years in a brief but regal Kremlin ceremony. One year ago: A Tesla Model S sedan that was in self-driving mode crashed into the side of a tractor-trailer in Williston, Florida, killing its occupant, Joshua D. Brown. Convicted drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who twice pulled off brazen jailbreaks, was transferred to a prison in northern Mexico near the Texas border. President Barack Obama told the graduating class at Howard University in Washington, D.C. that the country was “a better place today” than when he left college more than 30 years earlier, but acknowledged that gaps persisted, citing racism and inequality.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY “There is only one thing more painful than learning from experience, and that is not learning from experience.” — Archibald MacLeish, American poet and writer (born this date in 1892, died 1982) THEIR VIEW Waving goodbye, starting anew At first blush, commencement seems an odd term for the ceremony where diplomas are handed out to graduates of universities and colleges. It signifies the close of four or five years in study and work in higher education to obtain the needed skills for a career in a chosen field. But given a closer look, commencement means an end and a new beginning for graduates, a means of saying congratulations on achieving their goals, and then preparing to enter the world and make the most of what they’ve learned. Granted this sounds like the core message of every college and high school graduation address you’ve ever heard, but it is a common theme as the season for commencement gets under way. It’s a thought to be considered once the exhiliration of completing school and first and second celebrating that years at Ohio Unifact have their day, versity taught me and the reality something about sinks in of venturthe restaurant busiing forth into the ness, interacting everyday routine with my fellow of making a living workers and gainalong with all of its Kevin ing an appreciation attendant responKelly (along with some sibilities.

In the brief period when I taught remedial courses in writing and reading comprehension, I sensed a lot of impatience on the part of students who balked at these and other seemingly unrelated requirements for their major or what they wanted to accomplish in life. I imagine some of those folks clung to that belief all the way See KELLY | 6A THEIR VIEW Investments made to combat drug epidemic The Ohio House is committed to fighting our state’s drug epidemic. We recently passed our plan to face this issue with bold reforms in the state’s operating budget. Our plan is not a piecemeal approach, but rather one that identifies and prioritizes areas of greatest need. This problem requires a holistic response, ranging from prevention to helping addicts re-enter the workforce free from substance abuse. This problem won’t be solved by leaders in Columbus or Washington D.C. alone. Therefore, the House’s plan equips local communities with the tools necessary to heal themselves. Counties will designate a lead hub agency to coordinate community activities aimed at tackling their area’s drug problem. This group will bring together churches, businesses, schools and anyone committed to overcoming drug-related issues. There can no longer be isolated silos when it comes to addiction, which is why ing child protecour plan encourtive services have ages neighbors, skyrocketed.

This package takes a significant step toward freeing people from addiction. Ohio is in tight fiscal times, but this robust $170-million investment demonstrates how serious the House is about combating this scourge. These appropriations are coupled with policies designed to empower families, community leaders, faith groups and treatment providers, who hold the key to eradicating drug abuse. These and other unsung heroes give hope to people struggling with addiction. Currently, many feel disconnected and without options, but I hope they know we support them, want them to succeed and are devoting substantial resources to their futures. Without your help, this plan will be unsuccessful, but I believe we have the right tools and people to make meaningful progress in this battle.

I took mandated courses as part of my major that tried both my intellect (or what passed for same) and patience, caused some sleepless nights and left me in near-panic as finals approached, but I still took something away from them that later aided me in my career. So no education, like experience, goes for naught. Although that conclusion still wouldn’t have helped as I struggled through Logic, one of the required electives yours truly, like a dope, put off until the end of his student days. Outside of academics, one of the things you take away from college are friendships, memories of good times at school events, talking nonsense well past midnight or the occasional road trip just to see another part of the world, even if it was in a White Castle on High Street in Columbus, Ohio, around a rainy 2 a.m. during finals week, to speak from my personal recollection. Those good times, along with the notso-great and downright awful things that happen to you as a college student, will stay with you forever. But life after higher ed offers its own opportunities for fulfillment, so be sure to take advantage of them. And how soon commencement arrives! I’m still amazed that OU’s was April 29, followed by the University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College, Marshall University and other institutions on Saturday of this weekend. But I came from that happy period where semesters had been replaced by three 10-week quarters, which for OU students meant spring instruction didn’t end until early June, not to mention that marvelously lengthy break between fall and winter classes, from Thanksgiving to New Year’s. The return of 15-week semesters in most institutions wins points for practicality, but lacks the frequency of change and adherence to the traditional school year afforded by the quarter system. So yes, graduates, you will be waving goodbye to what was a big part of your life, but through a rite of passage called commencement into an entirely new phase of existence. And that should be a pretty exciting experience. Good luck to all of you. 3 (WSAZ) 4 (WTAP) 6 (WSYX) 7 (WOUB) 8 (WCHS) 10 (WBNS) 11 (WVAH) 12 (WVPB) 13 (WOWK) CABLE 27 (LIFE) 29 (FREE) 30 (SPIKE) 31 (NICK) 34 (USA) 35 (TBS) 37 (CNN) 38 (TNT) 39 (AMC) 40 (DISC) 42 (A&E) 52 (ANPL) 57 (OXY) 58 60 61 (WE) (E!)

By Paul Boggs :,911=Ľ-3@3>+=7/.3+L-97 Paul Boggs | OVP Sports CENTENARY, Ohio — They say that two out of three isn’t bad. So given Kaleb Crisenbery’s accomplishments of the past four years, committing to compete in college in two out of three sports is pretty darn good. That’s because Crisenbery, a senior at Gallia Academy High School, officially announced on Wednesday that he will continue his athletic career at Shawnee State University — where he will run both track and field and cross country for veteran head coach Eric Putnam. Crisenbery’s signing ceremony took place in the Gallia Academy High School Media Center, as he was flanked by his father and stepmother Bobby and Leann Crisenbery; Gallia Academy boys track and field head coach Paul Close; Gallia Academy cross country coach Todd May; and Gallia Academy Athletic Director Adam Clark.

On Thursday night at Dreams Field, the Meigs softball team — which will be a no. 2 seed when the Division II tournament begins next week — scored nine runs in the first inning en route to a 13-6 victory over visiting Jackson, which will be a no. 1 seed in its branch of the sectionals. The Ironladies scored the game’s first three runs after a failed-fielder’s choice with two outs in the top of the first inning. However, Meigs (17-3) took the lead before even recording an out in the bottom of the inning. Alliyah Pullins tripled home Devyn Oliver and Taylor Swartz to start the inning, and then Danielle Morris singled home Pullins to tie the game. The Lady Marauders took the lead, as Morgan Lodwick singled home Danielle Morris, then MHS went ahead 5-3, as Breanna Zirkle drove in Peyton Rowe. Next, Lodwick scored on a sac-fly by Oliver, and then Swartz doubled home Zirkle and Shalynn Mitchell. Meigs scored its final run of the first inning with two outs, when Pullins singled home Swartz. The Maroon and Gold scored their 10th run of the game in the bottom of the second inning, as Lodwick doubled home Bre Colburn. Jackson got a run back in the top of the third, but Lodwick doubled home Colburn in the bottom of the fourth for the Lady Marauders. The Ironladies cut the MHS lead to 11-5 in the top of the fifth, but Pullins blasted a home run in the bottom of the frame to put Meigs’ lead back at seven runs. JHS scored on an error in the top of the sixth, and Rowe scored for Meigs in the bottom of the frame, capping off the 13-6 MHS victory. Pullins earned the win in a complete game for Meigs, striking out two batters and allowing six runs, three earned, on nine hits and four walks.

Meigs scored the final run of the game with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, as Mattox singled home Brentten Young. Payton Speakman earned the win for the Red and White, striking out five batters in five innings, and allowing one run on eight walks and two hits. Tyler Williams suffered the loss for Meigs, pitching 1.1 innings and allow- ing eight runs, on three hits and six walks. Smith pitched 3.2 innings, striking out one batter and allowing one run, on two walks and two hits.

Meigs returns to action on Wednesday, when the Lady Marauders host Chillicothe in the sectional semifinal. Crisenberry and will continue to run his specialties 800m and 4x800m relay in track. He also aims to run the 1,500m run — down an even 100 meters from the 1,600m run in high school. In fact, collegiate races range up to 10,000 meters, but Crisenbery excels in shorter distances and the high jump. “I’ll have to run more mileage. Right now, I’ve been running short mileage. I’m probably the lowest mileage guy on the entire Shawnee State team,” he said. “I usually run about 30 miles a week, and they are up around 50 or 60 miles. That’s their edge on me, but I’m usually a speed guy. That’s why I’m so good at the 800m. Just been going short distance.” When asked about running relays for the Bears, Crisenbery said he expects to do so. “Right now, I’m pretty sure I am the secondfastest 800m runner they have on the team. He’s (fastest) graduating this year as well,” he said. Following Tuesday’s Coal Grove Invitational, and prior to the Ohio Valley Conference meet on Saturday (May 13), May said Crisenbery has competed in 32 events this year. And, as May said, he is just warming up prior to the postseason. “He’s picking and choosing how bad he beats people. He doesn’t worry about time. He’s been playing with people, so we don’t know yet just how fast he can go,” said the coach, with a laugh. “But it’s nice to know you have a kid on your team that can possibly go to state. I think that’s what we have in Kaleb this year.” Crisenbery has qualified for the track and field regional as a sophomore and junior, and indeed intends to reach the state meet as a senior. He said he chose Shawnee State — located in Portsmouth — over some higher-level programs, allowing him “to be close to home and to see friends and family on the weekends”. He also said he likes what Putnam can do for his career. “I’ve gotten a lot of letters from schools wanting me to come for a visit. Many Division II or III schools. But I really like Shawnee and have gotten to know Coach (Eric) Putnam really well. And he seems like he can get me to the best I can be,” said Crisenbery.

Oh, and he happened to qualify for the regional in all four years of wrestling as well. But, being able to run is what Crisenbery wants — and plans — to do. “I’m very excited about the opportunity ahead of me. I’ve got big goals, and a lot of good stuff to do,” said Crisenbery. And, that is on top of the good stuff he has already done. “Less than two months ago, you, I and Kaleb were all having a conversation in the media room at the state wrestling championship. Now we’re sitting here talking about a collegiate signing in two other sports. The neat thing that Kaleb and I got to do today was fill out his paperwork for the (Gallia Academy High School) athletic key. Once you sit down and really look at what he has done here, it’s remarkable,” said May. May is also the head wrestling coach at GAHS, but coached Crisenbery in cross country as well. His personal-record time is 16 minutes and 45 seconds, as he placed 42nd (2015 as a junior) and 40th (2016 as a senior) in the Division II regional meets —separated by a razor-thin five seconds in time (17:41 in 2015 and 17:36 in 2016).

Gallia Academy’s Wilt to play soccer at Tiffin By Paul Boggs four years here. It’s really meant a lot.” It also means a lot that Wilt will play the sport he loves, while also majoring in the field he wants. pboggs@civitasmedia.com CENTENARY, Ohio — Who knew that choosing where to play collegiate soccer was a matter of national security? Well, for Gallia Academy’s Caden Wilt, it is. That’s because Wilt, on Wednesday, officially announced his intention to play college soccer at Tiffin University —joining the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Dragons of veteran head coach Rudy Brownell. Wilt’s signing ceremony took place in the Gallia Academy High School Media Center, as he was flanked by his parents Brett and Tabitha Wilt; Gallia Academy assistant soccer coach Josh Simmons and Gallia Academy High School Athletic Director Adam Clark. Wilt was a four-year goalkeeper for the Blue Devils, earning all-Ohio Valley Conference honors in the conference’s first season as a soccer conference. Before that, as a sophomore and junior, he earned all-Southeastern Ohio Athletic League Honorable Mention — when the Blue Devils were members of the lameduck SEOAL. But Wilt said he choose Tiffin because the school combined both soccer and his major. The Dragons are an NCAA Division II program, competing in the GLIAC and located in Tiffin. “From the start, I was always learning towards Tiffin. My major is very rare. I’m doing Government and National Security, so it was really hard to find my major and soccer together in one school. Usually, it was my major and not soccer, or vice versa. It was a good pick because Tiffin has both my major AND soccer,” said Wilt. On the soccer side, Wilt went to Tiffin to attend an academy camp, and received a telephone call Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 “We definitely talked about catching, as well as playing me where ever I needed to be. We’ll see how the team turns out to be and where on the field I’m needed. That’s where I’ll play and I’ll fit in,” she said. Little said she plans to major in Criminology, and possibly pick up a double major with Forensic Psychology. She said once she turns 21, “I’ll probably add on to that the Police Academy”. She wished to thank all of her family, friends, teammates and coaches at River Valley, and is excited about saying hello to Hamilton while bidding good-bye to Gallipolis. “I’m really excited for what playing at MiamiHamilton is going to bring. I love Gallipolis, but I want to get away from Gallipolis and get to meet new people and be around different people. Hamilton is kind of an uptick city, it’s really uppace. It will be different from knowing everybody in Gallipolis,” said Little. Paul Boggs can be reached at 740446-2342, ext. 2106 Christopher E.

Seated with Wilt are, mother Tabitha Wilt (left) and father Brett Wilt (right). Standing are Gallia Academy High School Athletic Director Adam Clark (left) and Gallia Academy High School assistant soccer coach Josh Simmons (right). from Brownell. Brownell has coached the Dragons for the past 17 years, as Tiffin is the three-time defending GLIAC champion. “The coach really liked me, so he gave me a call to say he was interested in me. I’m really looking forward to it and excited about playing soccer there. The soccer team, when I was up there, looked really good. They’ve won their league championship the last three years and they are a very respected team. Looking forward to playing goalkeeper for them,” said Wilt. You heard him right. Wilt plans to play goalkeeper — usually the most noticeable position on the pitch. “The coach said anything is possible and freshmen can start over seniors. It’s about who has the most will, desire and effort. I hope to put all of them together,” he said. Simmons, who has coached in the Gallia Academy program for the past nine seasons — including as an assistant under Richard Isberner for the past two — said Wilt will do well at Tiffin. “Caden has always had a passion to play goalkeeper. His sophomore and junior years, he really excelled and put in the time and effort in the offseason with camps, training semi- nars, whatever he could to better himself. I saw a lot of potential his sophomore and junior years. With that development and his abilities and his skills, he was able to fine-tune them his senior year,” said Simmons. “He’s done a lot of wonderful things for this program and as long as I’ve coached, he’s one of the better goalies that we’ve had go through this program. He’s passionate, he’s very mature, he’s a team player and is willing to do anything for anyone. I have no doubt that he will do good things on the college level.” Wilt was a key cog in the Blue Devils’ turnaround, as Gallia Academy captured a share of last season’s OVC championship — as the Blue Devils won their first two sectional titles in program history. He said he looks forward to Tiffin, but admitted he will miss donning the Blue and White. “Winning the OVC championship last year and the two sectionals are my favorite part of my soccer career here. A lot of people say they can’t wait to leave high school, but I’m going to miss this place and Gallia Academy soccer,” said Wilt. “A big part of it has been my coaches and my friends and family.

(AP) — Joey Logano defended Team Penske as the “most professional” team in auto racing Friday, one day after he was virtually stripped of his win at Richmond. “I think we push as hard as we can because we’re looking for hundredths of a second, every race team is,” he said. “We’re going to have to push as hard as we can to be successful, and sometimes you go over that line. Apparently, every now and again, you may, but you have to find that edge and get right to it, and it’s a fine line. If you go a little bit over, we’re sitting with what we’re talking about today.” Logano’s winning car at Richmond last weekend failed post-race inspection at NASCAR’s North Carolina headquarters and the sanctioning body on Thursday all but stripped him of his victory . Logano keeps his tro- phy, but the win will not count toward playoff eligibility and Logano will not receive the five bonus playoff points. NASCAR also fined crew chief Todd Gordon $50,000 and docked both Logano and Team Penske 25 points each. “What we got in trouble for was something that really didn’t make our car any faster,” Logano said. “I still look at it as a win. Obviously, from the outside we’ve lost all the benefits of the win. We’ve lost the playoff points. We’ve lost a lot of regular points. We’ve lost our crew chief for a couple of weeks. We’ve lost some cash. The penalty is pretty severe. It wasn’t like it was a big thing, but the rule is written and it’s black and white. We pushed a little bit too far and we’ll pay that penalty and move on and attack again.” Meanwhile, Logano teammate Brad Keselowski is embroiled in a lengthy appeal over a March failed inspection . His crew chief, Paul Wolfe, was initially suspended three races and fined $65,000 because the No. 2 team failed the laser inspection station after a fifth-place finish at Phoenix on March 19. The team was also docked 35 points. Wolfe already sat out one race, at California, but Team Penske later appealed. Wolfe is permitted to work during the appeal process. The National Motorsports Appeals Panel heard the Penske appeal on April 12 and upheld the penalties. Team Penske has gone to the last step, final appeals officer Bryan Moss. A hearing is scheduled for May 9. Wolfe is sitting out this week’s race, too.

Since the explosion of material on the city’s infamous Mothman, including a major motion picture dedicated to it (though that was filmed nowhere near Point Pleasant), seeing a film crew at the Mothman statue has become commonplace. The attention and tourists have become one of those things people in other small towns sometimes take for granted - like hospitality, or knowing exactly when the church bell rings on Wednesdays and Sundays. Seth Breedlove, who lives in northern Ohio, is one of those filmmakers recently seen on the streets of Point Pleasant. He is a documentary filmmaker with the production company “Small Town Monsters” who credits the “Mothman Prophecies” film with his love of paranormal subject matters. However, that curiosity is paired with his upbringing by parents who owned a bookstore dedicated to books on history. In fact, the family traveled the country going to historical book shows. He was also a journalist at one time who enjoyed writing more about people’s lives than their crimes. “The small human stories drew me to make the movies we make,” he said, adding this movie was an opportunity to tell something more than a scary story. “I didn’t get into the weird cryptid stuff until much later in life…I was always really into his- tory,” he said. “I think that’s why our movies are the way they are. For me, this story is a piece of Point Pleasant’s history whether or not they (people) want to believe (in Mothman) is totally up to them. You can’t deny it was a part of the town’s history.” Keeping this mix of cryptid mystery and history in mind, Breedlove and his friends, have made the film “The Mothman of Point Pleasant: 13 Months that Changed History.” Prior to taking on the project, Breedlove said he knew so much had already been done on the subject matter, he wasn’t sure if he could bring anything new to the table. So, he traveled to Point Pleasant and met with Jeff Wamsley, owner of the Mothman Museum and author of books on the sightings. Breedlove credits Wamsley and his daughter Ashley Watts for getting the movie made because Ashley convinced Wamsley to give Breedlove access to audio recordings of interviews with witnesses to use. He also gave Breedlove his 8mm film footage taken by a relative the day after the Silver Bridge collapsed. “It has never been seen,” Breedlove said, recalling a shot of people in the film standing along the flood wall the day after the tragedy, just looking at what had happened, perhaps waiting for news on the missing. “It is my favorite shot in the footage and the first time I saw it, I cried,” he said. Breedlove looks at the bridge collapse as obviously part of the town’s history and doesn’t try to connect it to Mothman, he simply includes it as Filming in the McClintic Wildlife Area north of Point Pleasant.

Breedlove said early on when he was considering the film as a possibility, he had traveled to the Mothman Festival and talked with a local man who remembered the bridge disaster well. “His memory of the bridge collapse was what made me want to make the movie,” he said. Breedlove stressed he felt tying in the Mothman sightings with the disaster “always struck me as very wrong. I wanted to show the Silver Bridge collapse was just a part to these crazy series of things that happened in 13 months, rather than the Mothman caused the bridge collapse.” Breedlove said the small town aspect of the story and the cultural impact of the sightings initially drew him in to the project which took only 3.5 days to shoot and two months of post production on the independently, self-funded project. There were some technical glitches along the way, like a drone getting stuck in a tree and what he describes as “serious technical problems filming interviews.” However, post production, which includes an original score and animated sequences, were relatively smooth. “It was simultaneously the hardest film to make and the easiest,” he said, adding the moved wrapped in February.
