Quick Read

Saturday’s front page proves (like it needed more proving) that one rotten apple can spoil the entire bunch…. Alan Johnson (Ohio pay cuts will affect everyone), Rita Price (Homeless Housing), and Jack Torry (Mayor Coleman vowing to fight for the stimulus money) type excellent pieces… Unfortunately, their stellar work is offset by Barbara Carmen’s “Property Profiles,” a story that uses four-year-old data, which will be recalculated in two years… The atrocious column should have never been written…

Elizabeth Gibson starts metro with an outstanding story on the Columbus School Board candidates, who now cannot run due to invalid signatures… Suzanne Hoholik’s story concerning Mount Carmel cutting programs is solid… However, Dean Narcisco’s piece on Ohio Libraries, should have been buried on D8… No way it’s a metro front story…

Michael Arasace’s column on Tyler Wright, a name most Columbus hockey fans know, but might have forgotten is exquisite … Not as exquisite, Tim May’s piece of on the lack of name identification in this year’s college basketball freshman class… The piece has a great angle… but, like its subject matter, is unmemorable…

Life and Arts feature on the just concluded New York Fashion Weeks is the edition’s most informative… Apparently, black is the new green…
