On Saturday, a crew of volunteers removed the old bridge deck at Montpelier’s Opdyke Park. Beau Rupp and members of troop 1125 in Montpelier installed a new, stronger Oak deck. Beau chose to do this as his Eagle Scout project and arranged with the help of county engineer Todd Roth to design a stronger, safer bridge that would once again allow safety crews to reach the barn in the park that if often used for concerts, weddings, and family get togethers. Donations from the Williams County FOP, Ladds Logging, Hallett Aviation, and the Hillside Aeromodelers, the Eagles and the Moose were used to help fund the project. Assisting Saturday were Jim Rupp and Scoutmaster Russell Luke, Volkan Alemdar, Noah Conklin, Jared Rediger, and Tyler Rupp of troop 1125.
