Tonight, Drew Hanson posted the following on his facebook page…
I have spent years thinking about it, fearing it, desiring it, and losing sleep over it. When is the day I say goodbye? Mind you during that whole cancer thing it took on a whole new life or death kinda meaning... but never the less it brings me to today.
I moved to Columbus when I was 18 years old to work 5 hours a week on WNCI. It was pathetic actually but I was so hungry to make myself a giant among giants with what little air time I had and would do & sacrifice anything to do it. I wanted to be funny, I wanted to be controversial... but most of all I just wanted you to know who I was.
I accomplished everything I ever wanted to accomplish in the city I fell in love with... but like many relationships through time things have become strained and bitter. When I look at the city now I don't feel that hunger to be something great anymore. I don't feel that old feeling at 6:57pm on a Sunday before I crack the mic. I feel pain... I feel anxiety... I feel tired and broken.
I see burned bridges... I see failed relationships... I see backstabbing of friends I trusted... I see failure after failure after failure to balance every success I could ever imagine having on the scorecard of life. Sadly though the biggest and most frightening thing of all I see..... routine.
Branching outside Cbus to spin the past several months has been eye opening for me. Its given me a confidence in my abilities not only as a DJ not defined by his reputation as an "asshole" or "man whore"... but by my actual ability to do the job and do it well.
I have confidence that through the lessons I have learned through an extreme balance of success and failure I have developed a formula. My mentors have taught me if you want to make an impact on your city you must have a statewide vision. To make an impact on a state you must have a country vision... and so on. I can no longer spend my life having a vision of just one city.
On September 1st I'm leaving Columbus. I can't confirm any other fact at this point other than that. More details soon...

Mayoral Hyperbolism: Special Election is Everything
10 TV: It didn't take long Wednesday for Mayor Michael Coleman to express how important he feels next week's election to decide an income tax rate increase will be. Just minutes into an one-on-one interview with 10TV's Andy Hirsch, Coleman was clear about what impact he thinks Issue One will have on the city's future. "This election is the most important day in the history of our city," Coleman said. "What it will do is define this city for a generation."
Next Tuesday, voters will decide whether the city's income tax will be raised by half of a percent. City leaders say the increase is needed to help fill a budget gap and save the jobs of an estimated 500 police officers and firefighters. While supporters of the increase are quick to warn of cuts to police and fire, retaining those positions would cost less than half the money a tax increase would generate. 10TV asked Coleman about accusations that his campaign was trying to scare people into voting in support of the increase.
Coleman said police and fire were not the only departments that would see cuts if the issue fails. "That's what you pick up," Coleman said. "We've been talking about this directly, for all city services, not just police and fire. The media has picked up on police and fire because we've never cut it."
Coleman insisted that city agencies across the board will be impacted if the increase proposal fails, including trash collection and recreation and parks. "We may very well have to eliminate them," Coleman said. "That's what's at stake. This is such a huge deficit."
10TV asked Coleman if the city had a plan in place in the event the increase is shot down. "We don't have a plan B," Coleman said. "We've talked about what we're going to do. It's pretty clear; black and white at that point."
Coleman said passage of the increase would ensure that no firefighters or police officers would be laid off. "We won't lay off a single police officer," Coleman said. "We won't lay off a single firefighter because we won't need to."
Coleman also said the increase would allow the city to reopen some of the city's recreation centers that were previously closed.

NBC 4: A man fatally shot an armed intruder while protecting his 5-year-old relative late Wednesday, authorities said. CPD said the incident started with a home invasion but it was the suspect who was fatally shot. CPD was called to a home on the 1500 block of Autumn Village Drive on reports of a shooting at about 11 p.m. Wednesday. Officers found a man on a front porch with a gunshot wound to his neck. The armed suspect broke into home shortly before he was fatally shot, CPD said. As the armed suspect entered the home, a man picked up his 5-year-old relative to protect child as well as a firearm and fired shots, according to authorities. The suspect attempted to flee the home after being wounded but collapsed on the porch. He died a short time later. Anyone with additional information on the city’s 49th homicide of 2009 was asked to call the CPD homicide squad at 614-645-4730.
NBC 4: Columbus police are investigating two incidents where suspects have impersonated police officers. According to police, the first incident involved a business on the city’s east side. An employee said she received a phone call from a man who identified himself as a police officer. The suspect allegedly said he would be in the neighborhood to collect money in an effort to patrol the area due to recent burglaries involving area business. The suspect appeared at the business and asked for a large amount of money, but when the employee informed him she did not have that much, he negotiated a price, left a receipt and Fraternal Order of Police sticker. The suspect left the scene in a light gray or olive green sport utility vehicle, which was driven by another unidentified man. About one month later, another incident involved an elderly man who was watering his lawn. He was approached by a male and female suspect, police said. The suspects held up badges as they approached the victim, showed him a picture of a man in a wanted poster, and coerced the victim into allowing them in his house. The victim became suspicious after a few minutes and stated he was calling 911. The suspects left the home, but not before taking cash and jewelry. In both incidents the suspects were well dressed. The male suspect was described as a black male, 30 years old, 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing 160 to 170 pounds. He was clean cut with a mustache and was wearing a gray suit and cream-colored tie. The female suspect was described as a black female, 35 years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall and weighing 165 pounds. The second male suspect was described as black male, 50 years old, weighing 210 pounds with gray or partially gray hair described as being processed with waves.

Dog Murderer: The Public Fired Me
10 TV: A firefighter who was terminated earlier this month for killing his dogs before going on vacation is trying to get his job back. Former Columbus fireman David Santuomo filed a notice of appeal on Friday with the City of Columbus…
Santuomo wrote in his appeal that public opinion played a role in his termination. "I feel I was unfairly discharged due to public opinion and political pressure. Not for job performance," Santuomo wrote."
The Civil Service Commission will review the appeal. There was no timetable on when a decision would be rendered. Santuomo, 43, was fired from his on July 16 by Mitchell Brown, the city's safety director. He was terminated after pleading guilty last month to animal cruelty charges. Santuomo will begin serving a 90-day jail sentence on Sept. 16.
In December, authorities found the bodies of two dogs in a Dumpster behind Fire Station 27. Santuomo, who allegedly bragged to fellow firefighters that he shot his dogs because he was leaving for vacation, told his superiors that he killed the dogs because they accidentally consumed antifreeze.

Germain, Germain, Forget Our Name
10 TV: Germain Motor Co. announced Wednesday that it is closing its Chevrolet dealership on Friday. The dealership, located at 3101 Morse Rd., is closing in connection with General Motors' national dealership consolidation.
"Due to the current economy, GMs well publicized struggles and changes to local demographics, our location on Morse and Westerville Road has been selected by GM as one of the stores to be closed," according to a statement issued by the company. "Germain Chevrolet has been winding down business pursuant to GM's directives and will be closed at the end of this month."
According to the company, both Germain Cadillac of Easton and Germain Cadillac of Dublin will continue to operate normally and were not part of General Motors consolidation plan. The company said that it has established a hotline and froze all Chevrolet service prices, which they will offer at their Germain Cadillac dealerships in Easton in Dublin.

Federal Government Guarantees Fifty Police
10 TV: The government announced on Tuesday that the city will receive nearly $13 million in federal stimulus money to save police jobs. The money comes as the city faces a budget shortfall that could force the layoffs of nearly 300 officers…
The $12.7 million in grant money is enough to fund entry-level salaries and benefits for 50 officers for three years. On Tuesday, voters will decide whether to raise the city's income tax. The city said the hike is needed to save the jobs of hundreds of police and firefighters.
Supporters of Issue 1 said that while the grant money is great for the police department, it makes their job harder. If passed, the city income tax would increase from 2 percent to 2.5 percent. It is a tough sell for voters… "That's $150 a year that could be my kid's baseball season, his uniform, school supplies," said Kirsten Kinder, who is undecided on the issue.
Supporters of the issue said that the grant isn't enough to solve the city's budget woes, but may be enough to sway skeptical voters. "Now that I know $13 million is coming, I don't know," Kinder said.
"We appreciate the money we get from the federal government, but it doesn't solve the long-term problem," White said. "It sounds like a lot, but $4.2 million over three years is not a lot when you consider we have a large budget deficit we're trying to plug. In safety alone it's $40 million. The overall deficit is $115 million."
The city said would likely wait until voters go to the polls before deciding how to use the money, whether it will be hiring new officers or keeping officers who would otherwise be laid off.

City Wallets Ready For Wi-Fi?
10 TV: The City of Columbus is applying for tens of millions of federal dollars to create what would the largest wireless network in the state. The so-called Wi-Fi "cloud" would enable users of laptop computers and other wireless devices to connect to Internet, and to each other, throughout the city…
On Monday night, City Council agreed to seek nearly $38 million in federal stimulus dollars to fund a city-wide wireless broadband network. The city wants to use the network for things like reading water meters rather than going house to house; allowing hospitals to provide tele-medicine by talking to patients over the computer; and for police to download critical information in their onboard computers before they arrive at emergency scene.
The Wi-Fi "cloud" is also seen as a lure to attract new businesses to the city. If Columbus builds the wireless network, the service would not be free to the public. The cost to users is not yet known. The city hopes to learn by November if it qualifies for government funding.

Officers said two men got into a fight at about 12:30 a.m. on Columbus Avenue, located near Lockbourne Road on the city's east side… A man was stabbed multiple times in the chest. The victim, whose name was not immediately released, was transported to Grant Medical Center, where he died.
10 TV: Police said a group of thieves who broke into a north side business early Tuesday may be responsible for a string of other crimes. The burglars cut a hole in the back door of Smokes Plus, located in the Patio Shops on Morse Road, shortly after midnight… They stole several cases of cigarettes and an undisclosed amount of cash. Investigators believe the same people broke into several other business, including restaurants, on the city's north and west sides. In those crimes, police said they cut a hole just large enough to get their arms through.

Gaswerks Puncher Will Serve Sixty Days
10 TV: A man who pleaded guilty to throwing a punch that killed a man outside an Arena District bar was sentenced on Monday to 60 days in jail. Brent Goode also received a four-year suspended jail term, was sentenced to three years probation and will be under house arrest for 60 days… Last month, Goode pleaded guilty to felonious assault in connection with the death of Nick Foss.
Investigators said that on April 6, 2008, the two men got into an argument about a case of beer outside GasWerks bar, located at 487 Park St. According to prosecutors, the argument escalated and Goode punched Foss, causing him to fall and hit his head on the pavement… Foss, a nursing student, died from his injuries a few days later.
Judge Stephen L. McIntosh issued a challenge to Goode to make something of his life because he was responsible for taking one with so much potential. "We have a life sentence that's with us every day," said Charles Foss, the victim's father. "You don't come to terms with it."
Terri Foss, the victim's mother, said that she misses the text messages she used to get from Nick that said he loved her. The case was moved to a larger courtroom because an overflowed crowd. McIntosh said that in his 25 years on the bench that he has never seen such an outpouring of support for one individual.
