A ceremony featuring guest speaker David Perry included a tribute by VFW Post 4464 Honor Guard. Following the ceremony, Post 4464 Auxiliary provided refreshments. But the day was not over for Post 4464 — Zack and Scotty’s Restaurant had organized a raffle to benefit the post’s honor guard. Amy DiSantis, a staunch supporter of the Honor Guard, led the project. DiSantas said she had been involved in supporting Veterans projects and going to Memorial Day services as long as she could remember. “These are my heroes,” DiSantis said. “We wouldn’t be here enjoying everything we have without them. They are an official Honor Guard for the State of Ohio, that is a huge honor for them and for our community, and they need our support.” The veteran’s group supply uniforms for new recruits and maintains a vehicle and purchases fuel used to transport them to locations throughout Ohio, West Virginia, and Kentucky, all of which are expensive. The group is actively providing flag raising ceremonies during various student activities including ball games and track meets and special events at local business. They are also involved with programs to insure no child in Gallia and surrounding counties goes without Christmas, as well as efforts to aid veterans. “They are here for our community, they give so much to us, I thought we should do something for them,” DiSantis said. So, she came up with the idea of a raffle, with the drawings to coincide with Memorial Day. Through her efforts at promoting the event, along with the support of the community and local business, over $90,000 worth of items were donated to the project. “People just kept bringing all sorts of wonderful things to raffle, and ticket purchases were amazing,” DiSantis continued. In total, the raffle brought in Meigs BOE OKs people, finances Courtesy photos by Amy Disantis Post 4464 Auxiliary members Thelma Skidmore, Sheila McGuire, Rhonda Myers, and Rita Taylor served refreshments following the Memorial Day ceremonies before the raffle began.

Bill Mangus, Post 4464 Honor Guard Commander, said the outpouring of support from the community was wonderful, and he could not thank DiSantas enough for her efforts, AIM Media Midwest Operating, LLC (USPS 145-966) Telephone: 740-992-2155 Publishes every Tuesday through Saturday.

She was born February 18, 1940, in Gallipolis, to the late H. Claude Evans and Beatrice (Fowler) Evans. She had one sister, Marlene Houck, who preceded her in death. Surviving are two daughters Mandy Goble (Robert), Bellefontaine, and Jane Dailey, Parkersburg, W.Va.; and her brother, Dean Evans, Gallipolis. Also surviving are two grandchildren Eric (Alexis) Goble, Sterling, Va., and Michelle Goble (Steve Dowdell, fiancé), Vincentia, Australia; and two great grandchildren, Amelia and Clara Goble. Juanita graduated from Gallia Academy High School in 1958. She was a longtime professor at University of Rio Grande/Rio Grande Community College where she was a 32-year member of the URG/ RGCC Faculty. She was Professor of Speech Communication and Journalism and earned accreditation in Public Relations (APR). She had received tenure in 1975, retired from URG in 2008, and was awarded Faculty Emeritus status at that time. Juanita began teaching full time at Rio Grande in 1974 and upgraded the Speech Department to become the Communication Department. Shortly after, the department of Journalism was incorporated into the Communication Department. Prior to that, she taught part time at Rio Grande in the late 1960s while she concurrently earned a Masters’ Degree from Ohio University in Speech in 1974. At that time, Juanita was hired full time at Rio Grande and went on to earn an additional Master’s degree in Journalism from Marshall University. Later, she went back to school where she earned a Ph.D. from Ohio University in 1994. Additionally, Juanita wrote a book that documented The Bevo Francis story. That story was later produced by ESPN. To her colleagues, friends and students, she was known as Nita, a valued mentor and friend. Her students saw her as intuitive, supportive of their achievements, and someone who opened their eyes to the world. To her family, she was Mom and Grammy, someone who loved unconditionally and could always be counted on to help. She will be missed. A private funeral service will be held for family and close friends at 1 p.m., Saturday, June 11, 2022, at Waugh-Halley-Wood Funeral Home with Pastor Marc Sarrett officiating. Burial will follow in Mound Hill Cemetery. Friends may call at the funeral home on Saturday from 11 – noon. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made in Memory of Dr. Juanita Dailey to The Homestead at Logan Acres Community Foundation, 2739 County Road 91, Bellefontaine, OH 43311 or The Rio Grande University Memorial Fund, PO Box 500 Rio Grande, OH. 45674.

Judge reduces disgraced politician’s sentence by 5 years AKRON, Ohio (AP) — A federal judge on Wednesday reduced the sentence of a disgraced Cleveland-area politician from 28 to 23 years because of a 2016 U.S. Supreme Court decision clarifying the definition of bribery. Jimmy Dimora, 66, a former Cuyahoga County Commissioner, was found guilty in 2012 of 32 counts for arranging contracts and jobs in return for bribes. He is now scheduled to be released from prison in 2031. Defense attorneys argued that U.S. District Judge Sara Lioi should release Dimora immediately or drastically reduce his sentence because of his various medical issues. Lioi dismissed two counts against Dimora earlier this year after a federal appeals court ordered her to review his conviction based on the Supreme Court decision. The dismissed charges were related to an outdoor kitchen a contractor built at Dimora’s former home in Independence in return for Dimora pressuring school officials to hire the contractor’s daughter. Writers Guild encourages ‘something different’ POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — The Point Pleasant Writers Guild was happy to welcome back Paula Gregory and Woody Moore who have not been at the meetings for a while. Moore read a recent reply (translation: rejection notice) from a publisher to whom he had submitted a poem years ago. He also read the poem, “The Bird Cage.” Phil Heck shared “I Will Make My Own Decisions, Thank You.” “What I would do if I could do it without anyone seeing or knowing,” offered Marilyn Clarke. What would that be, one wonders. Only the Guild knows for sure. Along similar lines, Raine Fielder read “What I’ve Always Wanted to Do.” Kris Moore read her piece entitled “The Beginning of a New Year: A time for self-evaluation & 825 Third Ave., Gallipolis, OH, 45631 740-446-2342 All content © 2022 Gallipolis Daily Tribune and The Daily Sentinel edition.

Finally, drawing this theme of “doing” to a close, Patrecia Gray shared “Getting Out of My Rut.” Members discussed a list of book genres (i.e., mystery, romance, adventure), both fiction (fabricated) and non-fiction (actual) and what genres are their favorites. They elaborated on the subject by giving reasons as to why they prefer one genre over another, which genre they like to read and which they enjoy writing, and shared what they have always wanted to write. Woody Moore has written plays, Sue Underwood has written songs, Carol Newberry has written science fiction, but there is always more to write, more to say, more to share of our innermost thoughts, dreams, and aspirations as word crafters. The writing assignment for June will be Father’s Day, Flag Day, First Day of Summer, or D-Day. Try writing in a genre other than your usual one. Step out of your comfort zone. Perhaps we all need to get out of our rut and do something different, or do differently something already familiar to us. The Point Pleasant Writers Guild meets the first and third Wednesdays of the month at the Mason County Library on Viand Street, from noon until 2 p.m. All writers, and people interested in becoming writers, are welcome.

Simone Biles, other women seek $1B-plus from FBI over Nassar ing an investigation by police at Michigan State University, where he was a doctor. The Michigan attorney general’s office ultimately handled the assault charges against Nassar, while federal prosecutors in Grand Rapids, Michigan, filed a child pornography case. The FBI declined to comment Wednesday on the former gymnasts’ financial claims, referring instead to remarks last year by FBI Director Christopher Wray, who acknowledged major mistakes. “I’m especially sorry that there were people at the FBI who had their own chance to stop this monster back in 2015 and failed. And that’s inexcusable,” Wray told victims at a Senate hearing. At that same hearing, Biles, widely considered to be the greatest gymnast of all time, said an “entire system” enabled the abuse. Maroney recalled “dead silence” when she talked to FBI agents about Nassar.

Trump to face questioning in July in civil probe A lawyer for her office told a judge last month that evidence could support legal action against the former president, his company or both, though the attorney said no decision had been made.

A Manhattan judge signed off Wednesday on an agreement that calls for the Trumps to give depositions — a legal term for sworn, pretrial testimony out of court — starting July 15. Messages seeking comment were sent to the ex-president’s attorneys. State Attorney General Letitia James’ office declined to comment, as did the younger Trumps’ attorney, Alan Futerfas.

Last year Ja’Marr Chase overcame some early concerns about drops to break the single-season franchise receiving record with 1,455 yards and set rookie records for touchdowns (13) and receptions (81) on his way to being honored as the AP Offensive Rookie of the Year. Tee Higgins grabbed 74 passes for 1,091 yards in his second season, and veteran Tyler Boyd had 67 receptions for 828 yards. Cincinnati got hot late and rode the momentum all the way to the Super Bowl, where they lost 23-20 to the Los Angeles Rams. “We were just hungry, and we still are,” Higgins said. With quarterback Joe Burrow throwing the ball, the trio of wideouts believes the Bengals can start faster and be better overall in 2022. “Now we just got to have the expectation that we are one of the best in the league, and we got to keep that expectation and roll with it,” Chase said. “I felt confident about how far we went last year. Honestly, if we’re being real honest, that’s all the confidence we need right there.” In the penultimate week of voluntary organized team activities, the Bengals got to put on the helmets this week and face off in drills pitting receivers against linebackers and defensive backs. Predictably, Chase and Boyd were favorite targets of Burrow, but Higgins continued to work on the side this week as he recovers from shoulder surgery. His absence has opened up opportunities for backups and undrafted free agents, including Kwamie Lassiter II, Jaivon Heiligh, Jack Sorenson and Kendric Pryor, to get noticed. Lassiter attracted the attention of at least one important person: “Kwamie’s looking good,” Chase noted. “He looks smooth.” Building solid depth at wide receiver is a goal. The 2021 backups still on the roster — Mike Thomas, Trent Taylor, Stanley Morgan and Trent Irwin — combined for just 11 total catches last season. “It’s important that those guys become comfortable with what we’re asking them to do, so that when they come back in training camp and we’re going for real with the pads on and against different competitions, that they feel like they can play up to their potential,” coach Zac Taylor said. “What I mean by that is there is no indecision as to where am I supposed to line up when I break the huddle, what route depth am I supposed to be at? They’ve got to get all that ironed out now, so that when they show up and they’re really competing for those roster spots, their full potential can shine through and it’s not the mental side that’s slowing them down. That’s the key as we come out of summer.” VEGAS, BABY Bengals receivers are hoping what happened in Vegas will translate into good things on the football field, at least in terms of building chemistry and camaraderie. Chase, Higgins and Boyd, along with Thomas and Morgan, took advantage of a break in team workouts for a trip to Las Vegas on Memorial Day weekend, highlighted by a Lil Wayne concert. See BENGALS | 6 CINCINNATI (AP) — Graham Ashcraft pitched six shutout innings to extend his impressive debut run, Joey Votto led an early homer barrage and the Cincinnati Reds beat the slumping Arizona Diamondbacks 14-8 Tuesday night. Votto hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and Brandon Drury and Matt Reynolds added two-run drives within the first three innings for a 9-0 lead. The advantage stayed there until the game was delayed 63 minutes by rain after seven innings. Tommy Pham contributed a solo homer and Tyler Stephenson a two-run blast in a five-run eighth for the Reds that ended with third baseman Jake Hager coming in to get the final out. Ashcraft retired his first 10 batters after rotation-mate Hunter Greene retired his final 20 in Monday’s 7-0 victory. Pavin Smith singled off Ashcraft with one out in the fourth but was thrown out trying to stretch it into a double. Ketel Marte followed with a clean single to end Arizona’s slump. “I feel great,” Ashcraft said. “There is really not much more I can ask for. I’ve got guys making great plays behind me. I have a lot of support between family and teammates. I’m very happy with the things I’ve been doing and very grateful.” Ashcraft (3-0) lowered his ERA to 1.14 over his first four major league starts while allowing three hits with four strikeouts. “I’d like to think you can expect these kind of outings every time,” Ashcraft said. “I’m really just out there, giving it all I’ve got and throwing the dickens out of it.” Ashcraft logged 11 groundball outs. “It is really fun watching Graham pitch because he really is enjoying the competition,” manager David Bell said. “He takes it very serious and knows how tough it is but finding a way to enjoy what he’s doing. Jeff Dean | AP Cincinnati Reds’ Joey Votto hits a three-run home run during the first inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday in Cincinnati. The Reds defeated the Diamondbacks 14-8. “In some ways he gets better each time he goes out. The fastball is sinking and cutting. His slider has improved. He is throwing it a little bit harder, making it tough to bat.” Reynolds added a tworun single in the eighth to finish with four RBIs in the Reds’ biggest win since a 20-5 romp over the Cubs on May 26 in Cincinnati. The Diamondbacks have lost four straight games and five of six. They hadn’t scored in 26 innings until Geraldo Perdomo’s first career home run — a grand slam — and Marte’s solo shot in the eighth. Perdomo finished with five RBIs. The Reds rocked lefthander Tyler Gilbert, recalled from the taxi squad to make the start, with five hits and seven runs, six earned. Gilbert (0-3) walked two, struck out two and hit a batter in 1 2-3 innings. “Poor command,” manager Torey Lovullo said. “His balls were just outside of the zone, and he wasn’t getting ahead.

Capitol attack’s full story: Jan. 6 panel probes US risks By Lisa Mascaro and Mary Clare Jalonick Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol played out for the world to see, but the House committee investigating the attack believes a more chilling story has yet to be told -- about the president and the people whose actions put American democracy at risk. With personal accounts and gruesome videos the 1/6 committee expects Thursday’s prime-time hearing to begin to show that America’s tradition of a peaceful transfer of presidential power came close to slipping away. It will reconstruct how the president, Donald Trump, refused to concede the 2020 election, spread false claims of voter fraud and orchestrated an unprecedented public and private campaign to overturn Joe Biden’s victory. The result of the coming weeks of public hearings may not change hearts or minds in politically polarized America. But the committee’s year-long investigation with 1,000 interviews is intended to stand as a public record for history. A final report aims to provide an accounting of the most violent attack on the Capitol since the Julio Cortez | AP Rioters shout at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. The insurrection at the Capitol played out for the world to see. The House committee investigating the attack begins prime-time hearings today to provide an accounting of the most violent attack on the Capitol since the British set it on fire in 1814. British set fire in 1814, and ensure it never happens again. “This is not a game,” said Steven Levitsky, a Harvard professor and co-author of “How Democracies Die,” who has written extensively on the world’s democratic governments. “We suffered an assault on our democracy the likes of which none of us have seen in our lifetime.” Emotions are still raw at the Capitol 17 months after Trump sent his sup- Survivor porters to Congress to “fight like hell” for his presidency. That was on a Wednesday, two months after the election, a traditionally celebratory if hohum day when Congress is tasked with certifying the November results. Security will be tight for the hearings. Law enforcement officials are reporting a spike in violent threats against members of Congress.
