an end to the Vietnam War May 4 marks the 55th anniversary of the 1970 Kent State shootings which saw the Ohio National Guard open fire on students what led to the shootings and some of the national reaction at the time What happened at Kent State University on May 4, 1970?Kent State student protest leaders called for a May 4 rally at noon at the Commons on campus to further protest America's involvement in the Vietnam War as well as the presence of National Guardsmen on campus there was reported to be at least 3,000 people on the Commons with 500 or so core protesters around the Victory Bell and another 2,500 spectators standing around the perimeter Across the Commons stood about 100 National Guardsmen carrying M-1 military rifles the highest ranking Ohio National Guardsmen it's reported that guardsmen fired tear gas canisters into the crowd and began to march toward protesters at the Victory Bell Protesters began to move back from the guardsmen and up a steep hill known as Blanket Hill coming down onto a parking lot and a practice football field on the other side Guardsmen followed the students onto the field and endured shouting and rock throwing for about 10 minutes reportedly feeling trapped by the field's fencing The guardsmen subsequently retraced their steps back up Blanket Hill and once they got to the top 28 guardsmen turned and fired towards the crowd Many of the guardsmen pointed their guns toward the ground or fired in the air but it was reported that a few fired 60 to 67 shots into the crowd during a period of 13 seconds Four Kent State students standing as far as 390 feet away from the National Guardsmen were killed These are the nine students who were wounded as well as where they were shot: Why was the National Guard sent to Kent State?The decision to bring the Ohio National Guard to Kent State can be traced back to President Richard Nixon's April 30 public address announcing America's recent invasion of Cambodia he was elected in part because of his campaign promise to end American involvement in Vietnam While the war seemed to be coming to an end this April 1970 announcement began nation-wide protests the next day protests began on Kent State's campus as well as in downtown Kent A violent confrontation between local police and protesters led Kent Mayor LeRoy Satrom to seek assistance from Ohio Gov Satrom made the decision to ask Rhodes for help from the state's National Guard as he feared local police were no match for any further protests The National Guard eventually arrived in Kent later that evening finding the ROTC building at Kent State engulfed in flames More than 1,000 guardsmen occupied the campus on Sunday rock throwing and arrests occurring that evening Why did the National Guard shoot at Kent State students?The eight guardsmen indicted in a 1974 federal criminal trial all testified that they shot because they feared for their lives They believed the demonstrators were advancing on them in a way that caused them to believe their immediate safety was jeopardized A 1975 federal civil trial also found that none of the eight guardsmen were legally responsible for the shootings The wounded students and the parents of the students who were killed were ultimately rewarded $675,000 in a financial settlement 'Utter turmoil': Former National Guardsman reflects on Kent State tragedy of May 4, 1970 pleaded with the protesters to not risk their lives confronting the guardsmen who had just killed and wounded 13 students The university was closed for six weeks after the shootings; students had to meet with faculty members off campus to complete the semester The shootings influenced further anti-Vietnam War protests across college campuses President Nixon created the President's Commission on Campus Unrest in June 1970 to take a look at the Kent State shootings. The report On-campus memorials dedicated to the May 4 events have since been installed including a plaque at the

leaders gave remarks about the day prevents faculty from striking and prohibits universities from weighing in on controversial topics But now is the time to break that silence.” the bravery of the protestors left a lasting impression he hopes to instill in others “My biggest takeaway is even in the adversity and in the face of sudden death students still had the drive to fight for what they believe in knowing that the National Guard is right there I'm still not going to stop doing what I believe in “And I feel like a lot of people that are younger or even in this generation are being met with the fate of things like SB1and need to realize it's time to take risks.”  chair of the May 4 Presidential Advisory and May 4 Commemoration Committee reflected on the efforts being made by the university to continue to remember the events of that day “Kent State continues to model for the world the role of a university still healing from its wounds,” Canfora said “and nowhere is that more evident than in the leadership and conflict management training happening here and across the region as our School of Peace and Conflict studies engages actively with college and high school students in reflecting on activism civic responsibility and social justice in very real and practical ways President Todd Diacon spoke to the struggles of the political landscape and the challenges that has brought to the university while reflecting on what the May 4 events represent “Even though I am anxious about what is happening today I am driven to influence what I can influence because of our core values via this commemoration and via our policies and procedures,” Diacon said in his remarks “We will continue to promote kindness and respect and the value not only of learning but also the value

passenger and seriously injuring the truck's driver and himself A jury of six women and six men found Albert Carmen DiTomaso guilty of second- and third-degree felony aggravated vehicular homicide third-degree felony aggravated vehicular assault and first-degree misdemeanor charges of operating a vehicle under the influence of a prohibited concentration of alcohol in blood and OVI of a prohibited concentration of alcohol in urine. according to a media release from the Portage County Prosecutor's Office “Justice has once again prevailed," Portage County Prosecutor Connie Lewandowski said in the release "Driving with a blood alcohol content nearly three times the legal limit the defendant made a choice to get behind the wheel His decision cost his passenger his life and left another with life-altering injuries This verdict is a clear message: impaired driving is not just a traffic offense − it’s a violent and deadly crime Our thoughts are with the victims and their families as they continue to heal and we remain committed to holding accountable those who endanger others on our roads.” The verdict came after 28 minutes of deliberation Sentencing is pending completion of a presentencing investigation by the court's adult probation office The verdict followed a trial that began with opening statements Tuesday afternoon and ended with closing arguments Thursday morning but had an attorney assigned to advise him Kent police say DiTomaso was driving a car eastbound on Lake Street when it crashed into the rear of a Spectrum truck parked on the south side of the road was thrown off the back of the truck during the collision Kent EMS took the truck's driver to Summa Health System's Akron Campus and DiTomaso to Cleveland Clinic Akron General Hospital with serious Prosecutor Mitchell Rozaieski told the jury that one bit of testimony made during the trial that stayed with him was when a Kent police officer described DiTomaso's car as resembling "a crumpled-up pop can." Rozaieski said that Lake Street in the area of the crash is straight and level and the truck driver had his vehicle's strobe lights activated the crash investigation turned up "no evidence of evasive maneuvers," including braking or swerving He added that there was no ice on the road and Rozaieski said DiTomaso's blood-alcohol content measured at 0.289% and his urine-alcohol content level measured at 0.356% Rozaieski also said both levels put DiTomaso significantly higher than state law defines as "very impaired." that man would have seen that vehicle," said Rozaieski it is reckless to get behind the wheel of a car and drive with those blood alcohol levels." He said Williams died instantly from blunt force trauma to his skeleton and internal organs landed on pavement on his back and suffered fractures to three vertebrae and a herniated disc restore Internet access to individuals who needed it work his shift and go home to his kids," Rozaieski said DiTomaso has said he does not dispute much of what the prosecution says including that he was the driver during the crash that Williams was his passenger and he died or even the results of the blood and urine alcohol tests "What I'm asking is did the state prove every element of the crime; not just the reckless mental state DiTomaso said there were no photos or video showing the crash itself but rather one well lit by emergency vehicles He said it was also estimated he was traveling at 40 mph which he said was "not excessive or reckless" in a 35 mph zone Reporter Jeff Saunders can be reached at jsaunders@recordpub.com 14-year-old Natalie Gulizia felt like things were finally turning around She and her then 12-year-old brother had moved in several months earlier with their father who was granted their full custody following an acrimonious divorce with Natalie’s mother Natalie — then a high school junior — could pay more attention to her dreams especially of applying to Stanford University and becoming a doctor “I am scared but optimistic for the future,” she wrote in a diary entry in February Natalie was killed ten months later and a week before Christmas who showed up unannounced to her ex-husband’s Renton home with a stun gun At a sentencing hearing in King County Superior Court on Friday Natalie’s father Michael Gulizia held up his daughter’s diary a spray of pink flowers adorning its cover including one in which Natalie said she and her brother never felt safe under their mother’s care Laurel was someone Gulizia said he was sure would kill again “The day she gets out is the day I have to go into hiding asking King County Superior Court Judge Jason Poydras to keep his ex-wife behind bars “for as long as (he) can.” King County prosecutors requested Laurel be sentenced to about 39 years in prison — the high end of the standard sentencing guidelines — after she pleaded guilty to second-degree murder first-degree attempted murder and unlawful imprisonment in January Laurel had devised an “elaborate and meticulous” plan to kill her ex-husband and could not be trusted to live in public safely Laurel’s defense attorneys requested an “exceptional sentence” of about 20 years arguing she was “markedly impaired” by a year of emotional stressors that were compounded by post-traumatic stress disorder depression and a childhood traumatic brain injury Laurel had lost her job of 20 years as a supervisor at Boeing lost custody of her children and learned both of her parents had died she had gone to her therapist’s office to seek counseling fearing she was experiencing a “truly psychotic” episode Poydras decided on a “midpoint,” sentencing Laurel to about 33 years in prison and six years of community custody and to pay a restitution of an undetermined amount “There is little I can do in this hearing that can remotely come close to giving back or making whole what you have lost,” Poydras said before announcing his sentence “It is my hope that Natalie’s tremendous courage will inspire you to move forward when it is not always easy to do Laurel wept and blew her nose as she described to Poydras feeling overwhelmed by a full-time job contentious divorce proceedings and symptoms of depression and fibromyalgia “I don’t even know how to apologize to Mike,” she told Poydras Gulizia declined to comment after the sentencing His testimony before Laurel’s sentencing described nearly seven years tormented by the events of Dec It has been with me like a black cloud,” he said Gulizia and Natalie left home for an event in Seattle around 5:30 p.m bearing what she said were Christmas presents according to a probable cause affidavit written by a Renton police detective The boy let his mother inside and opened one of the gifts which he pointed out were some of his old clothes She told him the gifts were all she could afford after losing her job she used zip ties to bind the 12-year-old’s wrists and ankles gagged him with a sock and duct tape and threatened to use a stun gun When Gulizia and Natalie walked into the home around 8 p.m. zip-tied him to a chair and pulled out a handgun Now I’m going to make yours miserable,” she told her ex-husband Natalie ran upstairs to her bedroom and called 911 When she heard her mother ascending the stairs After realizing her daughter had called police Laurel threatened to “blow (her) head off.” Natalie’s brother and father then both heard a single gunshot pointed a handgun at Gulizia and pulled the trigger Gulizia — who had loosened his restraints — slammed her into a wall and took the gun Natalie’s brother hopped into his sister’s room to find the 14-year-old dead Gulizia and his son escaped through the front door Officers found Laurel’s stun gun and her handgun Laurel would claim she shot Natalie by mistake and park far enough away from the house to not be seen by Gulizia showed she had gone to the home that night with the intent to kill and avoid detection by police An autopsy of Natalie’s body also showed the muzzle of Laurel’s gun was an inch or less away from the teen’s head when Laurel fired said King County Senior Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Don Raz Before Poydras announced Laurel’s sentence Laurel and Gulizia’s now-18-year-old son spoke to the judge via Zoom his face appearing on a television screen inside the courtroom He described years of survivor’s guilt and experiencing flashbacks of finding his sister dead he said he lost not only Natalie — his best friend — but also a mother whom he could never trust or love again “Her potential was robbed from us — robbed from the world.” Stay secure and make sure you have the best

State University's history.  The Ohio National Guard shot and killed four students and injured nine more during an anti-Vietnam war protest on campus in 1970 Kent State University held a commemoration on the 55th anniversary of the shooting on Sunday.  Chic Canfora is a professional-in-residence and assistant professor of journalism at Kent State University she was a student that was protesting the escalation of the Vietnam War on campus.  "I think for all of us who survived the shootings at Kent State we all have those memories," Canfora said.  was one of nine students wounded in the shooting The day changed Chic’s life and led her toward a life of activism.  "There are a lot of us who turned that anger and confusion into activism and it altered my life in that way," Canfora said "I’m proud to have devoted my life as an educator and a journalist The two things that I think are hallmarks of our democracy.”  Hundreds of people gathered at the Kent State Commons for the 55th commemoration of the May 4th shootings The event remembered the four students who were killed Kent State University President Todd Diacon stressed the importance of remembering the event each year.  “I think the single most important thing that I do is welcoming back the relatives of the students that were killed and welcoming back our wounded students," Diacon said it’s the equivalent of a sacred honor to do that.”  The 2025 remembrance takes extra meaning for Canfora since it marks 50 years since the end of the Vietnam War.  “Even though we gather here every year on May 4th this year is a milestone year in so many ways because it happens to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the fall of Saigon the more than 4 million students across America that helped bring that war to its knees celebrated We were able to celebrate that again in its 50th year."  One of the most powerful moments of Sunday’s remembrance happened when John Cleary “It’s a healing process for me to come back and be able to spend time with the other wounded students," Cleary said "It was a big honor this year to ring the victory bell While the commemoration is meant to honor those impacted by the shootings and share the history it’s also meant to make sure the lessons from the event are still remembered today.  “The lesson of Kent State is we need to practice kindness and respect and learn to get along with people we don’t agree with," Diacon said.  “I’m so grateful today’s students are making meaning of May 4th for themselves today," said Canfora I’m just so grateful to see so many people here joining in this.” To put it simply, Scott Girolmo‘s heart beats for high school football The former Prince George coach from 2021-23, Girolmo spent 2024 as an assistant at Manchester. With the Lancers and coach Jason Harrell he had a great experience being a fly on the wall and watching how Manchester operated — Girolmo said he could’ve spent 20 years there But then popped up the opportunity he couldn’t turn down Girolmo is the next head football coach at New Kent but the opportunity was just so good,” Girolmo said “It was such a ‘dare to be great’ type of situation that it would have been really and I want that opportunity to have some influence and I could never complain about not getting the job again if I was going to turn down that one.” Girolmo will be New Kent’s 16th coach in program history He’s taking over a Trojans program that went 4-7 in 2024 ultimately falling to Colonial Heights 35-34 four of New Kent’s seven losses were by a combined eight points It’s there that Girolmo sees so much potential and how different last season might have gone if the tide had turned the Trojans’ way New Kent quarterback Stephen Stazenski looks to pass against Colonial Heights in November “That’s a dramatic difference,” Girolmo said “You’d be silly if you didn’t watch a couple of their games and think “Just a chance to bring some success to a place that’s been on the verge of having a really breakout season This will be Girolmo’s fourth head coaching job Girolmo is familiar with coaching in one-high school counties and embraces the communities that come with them Although Girolmo has been a head coach before he said being an assistant at Manchester was a good change because he was able to step back and look at what a program is like that is in a county with several schools He liked seeing how Harrell grew the program in his first season at the helm for the Lancers and Girolmo is bringing those observations to New Kent “I think what one-high school counties provide is an opportunity for you to really expand the bounds of your impact,” Girolmo said “To do things your own way and not really be bound by the protocols that are in place that create fairness for six or seven high schools within a locality.” Girolmo’s Trojans will use unity as they compete to get to the highest level Girolmo wants to make football a vehicle into life and teach his kids those skills they’re going to use after high school although the goals are a multi-year process his staff isn’t going to sacrifice what’s there now life-changing experience for our young people,” Girolmo said Returning to the Trojans next season is senior Chase Wiles Wiles almost never came off the field and was an All-Metro honorable mention Andrew Fallon and Ben Christian and sophomores Micah Mason and Jaron Collins also are All-Metro honorable mentions returning for the Trojans New Kent quarterback Stephen Stazenski celebrates with Nathaniel Christian (3) during a game against Colonial Heights in November Sophomore Braylon Simpson returns after playing some quarterback and defensive back last year with Luke Anderson and Aiden Grimes coming back as up-and-coming receivers Damein Foley and Carl Young are all returning to the coaching staff as well “I’m really pumped about those guys,” Girolmo said “I know our keys to success are going to be player turnout and commitment in this offseason and commitment to our leadership development program Girolmo is excited and ready for his next chapter New Kent is getting a new turf field in the offseason and player turnout is looking up New Kent football kicks off at Gloucester on Aug I really can’t tell you how grateful I am,” Girolmo said “I’m really excited about just getting back into a role where I can feel like I have an opportunity to put a broader-stroke-paint-brush-type of influence on just the culture in general and hopefully make a really positive impact.” Colonial Heights quarterback Najarn Bostic (1)

there is now a three-way tie at the top of the standings in the Mid-American Conference with Kent State and Miami (OH) all sitting at 18-6 in conference play The Cardinals jumped on Kent State starter

their first run on the scoreboard in the top of the third thanks to a Micah Rienstra-Kiracofe sacrifice fly out to right field Another run would come across for the Flashes in the top of the third

didn't make any splash picks that got draft pundits overly excited What the Steelers did was find value in positions of need and improve the roster on offense and defense CBS Sports named their most questionable pick for every team in the draft and even they admitted it wasn't easy finding an option for the Steelers They settled on cornerback Deonte Kent based primarily on a lack of information about the seventh-round pick There was not much room to poke holes in Pittsburgh's draft class Kent just happens to be the one I know least about Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon felt like a Steelers pick and there was an intentionality to bring more physicality to the roster with this seven-player draft class It's hard to fault any team's seventh-round pick but we get why this is the direction CBS Sports took I probably would have doubled down on quarterbacks and taken former Texas quarterback Quinn Ewers with that pick and let him and Will Howard duke it out in training camp
