Quick Read
Did Monday seriously feature a front-page story about some opinionated idiot’s license plates? Misti Crane’s heart wrenching story on Ohio State’s ongoing dementia study, perfectly humanized a painful disease… Debbi Gobelys peace, on parents and children, not willing to relinquish their college dreams, despite these economic crisis was outstanding.
Jeb Phillips’ metro lead “Faces of A War” was a brilliant concept, which read like a list… Thankfully, Sherri Williams covered him with an excellent piece of the impact of women’s clinics closing in the city.
Life and Arts featured outstanding Grammy coverage… Margaret Harding typed an intriguing feature on the increase (yes, I said increase) of technology funding in this city… And Mike Pramik continued his great work… spotlighting River South, one of the few venues I have heard about that will benefit (yes, I said benefit) from City Center’s impending exodus…

You Have Questions... I Have Answers
Since Gossip Cbus began, I’ve been swamped with e-mail (thanks for the love)… While I’ve tried to give individual responses to several, I also know that some of the questions are questions others may have and thus, answering them publicly would be better… Therefore, from time to time, I will answer questions where everyone can see them…
Q: Will Gossip CBUS have Valentine’s Day coverage?
A: We will have announcements on Wednesday and Friday about events that are taking place… As for twitter coverage or wraps, that is also tentatively scheduled, but remains subject to change…
Q: I saw on your site that Juicy Campus shut down. Does this help or hurt Gossip CBUS?
A: Obviously, any readers who read that site that now read us as a result of that shut down, helps Gossip CBUS. With that said, Juicy Campus and Gossip CBUS service two entirely different tastes… Juicy Campus was unchecked, unverified filth, which occasionally bordered on slander… Gossip CBUS is so much more… Again, we expect some readers from their shut down… But, if anyone is here looking for the same type of material, you wont find it…

Quick Read
Sunday’s front page featured a pair of excellent pieces… The first on Ohio Mayor’s stimulus package dreams and the second spotlighting the economic demand of rich school districts versus poor school districts…. Joe Hallet (metro section), also had a front page or at minimum first section story on the Curious Non-Committal of John Kasich.
Sports led with outstanding coverage of the basketball Buckeyes 64-58 victory over Minnesota and Tim May typed a solid piece on freshman linebacker recruit Storm Klein… Unfortunately, May ruined his own feature with an insipid lead about Kelin’s potential nicknames (Storm Warning etcetera)…
Steve Wartenberg’s feature (Business section) on Ohioans conned out of money was potentially the edition’s best and without question the edition’s most interesting…

CYP, Charities Host Spectacular Evening
Theoretically, young professional organizations are power enclaves. A city’s influential post-college generation unites. And through lavish events, they ascend their profile, while raising charitable donations…
On Saturday, Columbus Young Professionals hosted “A Date 2 Remember.” The marquee fundraiser coupled an impressive date package auction with charity, fashion, food, liquor, and networking. From the balcony to the Vault’s entrance, Columbus’ working princes and princesses showcased altruistic hearts and exquisite fashion senses (trust me when I say there were more than a few cocktail bunnies present)…
While the event served as another reminder that Columbus Young Professionals is the sub-forty year old organization in the city, the real stars of the evening were A Kid Again and Junior Achievers of Central Ohio… Both of which are wonderful organizations that we were thrilled we could support…
As of this typing, no official totals have been released, however, sources tell me that almost $20,000 was raised this evening. That unofficial total would trump the collection from the first annual “Date 2 Remember.” Despite the staggering economy, this evening spoke to the true depth of our city’s generosity…
“A Date 2 Remember,” while a magnificent evening for two charities, was certainly far from flawless; making the fact that so much was raised even more impressive. The fashion part of the evening was ultimately non-existent… Why have the people wearing the donated clothes? Why not have a separate show so the clothes don’t get lost, which the unfortunately did under this format… Also, why not spotlight local designers, which there are an abundance of in this city… I counted three different people wearing clothes from Macy’s… If I want to see people wearing clothes from Macy’s I will turn on my television…
In addition to the fashion, the overall presentation of the date package auction was questionable… The masters of ceremonies were awful… Their comments and jokes were insipid and their almost constant begging for dollars after the bidding had clearly died was ridiculous… $800 on one package, in this economy, is good money… Stop asking people for money incessantly like you are trying to get them to watch your dog while you’re on vacation… The music was also tacky… At times, I thought someone was just throwing in what ever CD they found lying around backstage… And playing the music over the bidding? Seriously?
The worst aspect of the evening was the separation of dates from packages… Apparently, under the rules of the evening, you could bid on the package and ditch the person or accept the person with the package… Why even have people attached to the packages? The format essentially reduced them to needless props, so why were they there? Why not, and this would be much more sensible, merely auction off date packages for two people… You would raise the same amount of money, possibly even more money from people who may not have bid, because they were confused as to the concept…
Now, I know what you are thinking… I just spent the last three paragraphs dissecting the event, how could I possibly be of the opinion that this was a great evening… Allow me to say two things about that… This was a great evening. Columbus Young Professionals intermixed a lot of great people and they raised a bucket full of money for two amazing charities…. I applaud them…
I also deeply respect and admire Derek Grosso and Kristin Mele, the first couple of Columbus Young Professionals… I have spoken with both of them… They are amazing people and their organization is outstanding… However, this website has a responsibility… We cannot sacrifice our the fundamental premise of journalism, to report that which we see, because of personal relationships… If someone chooses to terminate a personal relationship based on a website post, I will feel that loss… With that said, I hope that professionalism is universal… I sincerely respect everyone who has made Gossip CBUS a success in the first two months… I hope they continue reading and they realize that reality is our only objective…

Quick Read
Saturday’s story on Ohio State tightening their amount of endowment money due to the recession was excellent… Unfortunately, a pair of blunders offset that story’s brilliance… One story on the workplace gender disparity, which actually suggested that the gender disparity doesn’t actually exist… And a second story on Girl Scout cookie sales slumping with the faltering economy… Cute story, but it belongs on page C8…
Martin Rozenman’s story (Metro section) on the four police chief candidates was solid, but where was the reporting? It was simply background and salary information… Why not ask what they would do as police chief? Why not ask how they plan to keep morale high amidst constant employment cuts?
Tracy Turner’s story “Love Will Conquer Bad Economy” (Business) was outstanding and provides males an excuse if they forget to do their shopping… Kevin Joy’s feature (Life and Arts front) on musician’s house shows (yes, that’s shows that actually take place in another person’s house) was this edition’s best…

BREAKING: Sugar Safe
Despite recent rumors, Sugar Bar remains economically secure. According to a source familiar with the situation, salaries have not been reduced. And while amenity alterations have been made, they were anticipatory. They were not revenue related.
The 7,500 square foot Sugar Bar, which is located next to Park Street Patio, was developed by Chris Corso and Mike Gallicchio. Sugar Bar opened on March 2, 2006.

Mirrors & Musicians
Walking Lodge Bar’s center aisle is like walking a Hall of Mirrors. Every customer’s intent, like every mirror’s intent, is the same. Every customer consumes alcohol. Every mirror reflects images. The attraction and intrigue of both is the various manners through which their intent is accomplished.
As previewed, Friday’s premise was basketball. From megaphones and streamers to NBA trivia (which you could have won, if you were following us on twitter) to the marquee event of the evening, the NBA Jam tournament, hoops was omnipresent… Given this (and the act that the prize was Cavs tickets), I made myself a contestant in the tournament… We’ll return to that mistake in a moment…
The tournament itself was well played… Like the annual right of spring, March Madness, there were several games that would have hurt small children if they watched…. However, there were also several classics, one of which involved a twelve point fourth quarter comeback and an eventual double overtime loss… Full results of every game were available and remain available on our twitter…
Ultimately, the final was an engaging contest…. Neither team ever enjoyed more than a six-point lead and the deciding margin was one… Do I sound to into a video game? Allow me the following opinion… Watching a well played video game is like watching a well-played sporting event (see the fourth of quarter last Sunday)… Drama, emotion, intensity, they are ever present in both… And just as Kurt Warner to Larry Fitzgerald had me out my seat five days ago, the final shot with less than three seconds ago, had me out of my seat tonight…
I know what you’re wondering… I obviously, the way I am talking, was not in the final, so where did I finish? I was eliminated in the first round… Actually, I was crushed in the first round… I had a three point fourth quarter lead, but the other guy, an eventual semi-finalist as it would turn out, was better… (And I look at it this way, alcohol or sitting around waiting for the next game… You decide…)
Amidst the NBA Jam tournament, which consumed almost seven hours and had to be relocated because it took longer than anyone imagined, the menagerie of patrons was immaculate… From the several Steelers jerseys I saw (including one Iron City heifer, who had a Steelers themed purse) to the multiple clusters enjoying Molson towers to the bunnies and the boys hoping to score a bunny… The evening’s ensemble underscored what I typed two weeks ago… Lodge Bar is this city’s most unique venue…
That uniqueness was epitomized perfectly in the evening’s entertainment, Ryan and Joe, a pair of guitarists, who billed themselves as “Mission 19.” Their set list was nothing unexpected… It was laced with familiar opening rifts, which included “Ants Marching” and “Hey Jealousy…” The set presentation was completely unexpected… Whether inserting “Crazy Bitch” into one song or pairing Dave Matthews and Jay-Z… The duo induced enough double takes to require glasses….
Still, their set was outstanding… They were not perfect and some of their choices made me wince… However, their personalities and stage manners, buying shots for the crowd, discussing Guitar Hero, and their willingness to take a risk, made them an act worthy of applause and a second appraisal…
Mission 19 also produced the evening’s greatest energy…. Throughout the evening and the tournament, there were rushes…. Yet, as Ryan and Joe played the final song of their first set, one could observe a packed and pulsating dance floor… Again, Lodge Bar was consistently busy the entire night… The level of energy was consistent… Yet, as Mission 19 finished their first set, the energy finally was contagious…
The energy finally screamed (as it did two weeks ago)… Crack a bottle… Let your body waddle… It’s on till the break of dawn and we’re starting this party from dusk… (Yes, those are song lyrics and a free drink at the Snowed Inn\Snowed Bunny event to the first person to e-mail me with the artist who sings them)…

It’s What We Call the News
NBC 4: Police said a man robbed a north side pharmacy at gunpoint Thursday night. The man walked into the CVS Pharmacy, located at 7470 Sawmill Road, near Hard Road, at about 10:25 p.m. and went to the pharmacy, police said. He jumped over the counter, pulled out a gun and demanded specific drugs from the pharmacist… The pharmacist complied and the man fled through the store's drive-through window. Police described the man as white, 20 to 25 years old and 5 feet 7 inches tall. He has a thin build and was wearing an orange hooded sweatshirt.
And the count goes on (number thirty-five)…
10 TV: The city announced the next round of layoffs on Friday... Six employees, including one part-time and five full-time employees, were expected to be let go… Two of the impacted employees are supervisors and four are assistants.
Mayor Coleman’s list… Cut Police – Check. Cut City Workers – Check. Build worthless park with other people’s money – Double check.
NBC 4: In an effort to balance the city’s 2009 budget, officials released Friday the final list of recreation centers that would be closed, effective Feb. 14. Barack, Feddersen, Glenwood, Holton, Indian Mound, Krumm, Martin Janis, Sawyer, Sullivant Gardens, Tuttle, Performing Arts Center…
The good news? In two years, children will have a crime invested downtown park to replace these rec centers…
10 TV: A warm front will move across the Ohio Valley on Saturday, kicking up the winds and bringing more cloud cover. We may have to dodge a few sprinkles, but temperatures will be near 60 degrees near the Ohio River, and in the 50s for the rest of us. On Sunday, we will see very light rain showers and the winds will turn north, cooling us a bit. It will remain mild, with highs reaching 43 degrees. Monday looks nice and warm, but rain will be on the way Tuesday and Wednesday.
For fifty degrees, we can live with rain…

Quick Read
Kevin Joy’s “Facebook Fad Gets Personal” was well written…. And it should have been buried inside Life and Arts… Social Networking as a front-page story? John Futty’s story (metro front) on how Columbus wont actually own Columbus Commons and how the city doesn’t see crime as an impediment to the structure… that was a front page story…
Speaking of the Metro section, the Dispatch’s outstanding State of the State coverage continued, including an excellent piece on charter school impact… Joe Hallet’s column on Ohio Supreme Court Chief Justice maneuvering was also solid…
Tim May’s profile of Duron Carter, son of former OSU Wide Receiver Cris Carter, was exquisite…. Equally exquisite, Tom Reed’s story on the Blue Jackets bludgeoning of Eastern Conference opponents… The article was informative and structurally sound…. Although, I had to laugh when Reed noted that the Blue Jackets are thought of as irrelevant franchise, who plays in a college football town… Why would opponents have that impression?

BREAKING: Strickland, Fisher Discuss Separation
Governor Ted Strickland and Lieutenant Governor Lee Fisher have discussed Fisher’s potential exit from the 2010 gubernatorial re-election campaign. According to a source with knowledge of the conversation, Fisher did not ask to leave the ticket. However, he made clear his interest in a 2010 Senate campaign.
If Fisher exits, Strickland would be the eighth Democratic Governor to have multiple Lieutenant Governors. Fisher’s possible replacements include Ohio Board of Regents Chancellor Eric Fingerhut, Ohio 9th District Congresswoman Marcia Kaptur, and Ohio Democratic Party Chairman and former State Representative Chris Redfern.
After commencing his career as a State Representative, Fisher served as a State Senator from 1982-1990. From 1991-1995, he served as Ohio’s 44th Attorney General. Since 2007, he has served as Ohio’s 65th Lieutenant Governor.
