🦸 Heroes betrayed

​

Good morning, Powell. In a stark reminder that trust can be betrayed anywhere, a former veterans charity leader has pleaded guilty to stealing $35,000 meant for those who served our country. Todd Reveron's check-writing scheme diverted funds from VFW charitable accounts between 2017 and 2019, resulting in three years of community control and a $1,000 fineβ€”a relatively small price for betraying heroes in need.

On a brighter note, hometown talent Emily Clausing recently showcased her vocal abilities at Ohio Wesleyan's Spring Student Symposium, performing choral music inspired by Central Italy and the Vatican. Meanwhile, wing enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Shakers Public House returns to its west side roots with a permanent food truck location. This homecoming for the popular Columbus eatery brings its renowned wings back to the neighborhood where it all began.
