What:         America’s Trail Networks—An Exploration of the Scope and Impact of the Nation’s Developing Trail Networks

When:        Dec. 12, 1 p.m. Eastern

Where:       WOSU’s Ross Community Studio, 1800 N. Pearl St., Columbus, Ohio (See it on a map.)

Who:          Ryan Chao, President, Rails-to-Trails Conservancy  

This is dedicated to “Senator” J.D. Vance who now ignorantly assaults his alma mater on the basis of an ignorant, ideologically-driven Wall Street Journal Opinion Essay. Despite his OSU BA and Yale law degrees, Vance writes to OSU’s incoming, not yet in office president Top Gun Carter, not to the acting president in office. Of course, all this is only for show…. Never for tell….

The contradictions are  incalculable. The right-wing—not conversative—National Association of Scholars joins forces with their ideological partners in the shameless Opinion pages of the Wall Street Journal to attack The Ohio State University baselessly. While this will thrill Sen. Jerry Cirino when he finds a literate person to read it to him, and amuse the Board of Trustees, it will rattle the ghost of Salmon P. Chase whose memory is deeply insulted by its association with OSU’s new anti-diversity center.

Alexander Payne's "The Holdovers" is exactly why we love movies. It takes us on a journey, immersing us in the warm and cozy, unique setting of a 1970 New England prep school, the fictional Barton Academy, and stirs our emotions along the way. This unlikely Christmas movie, starring Paul Giamatti, Dominic Sessa, and Da'Vine Joy Randolph, is the perfect blend of humor, grief, and redemption, far removed from your typical holiday movie.

As a teenager, spending Christmas break with a professor, let alone a prickly one would be haunting. I'd feel trapped, hopeless, and abandoned, as if the world had forgotten me. This is supposed to be a time with family.

Today’s announcement by Environmental Court Judge Stephanie Mingo that she would recuse herself from hearing the City of Columbus v. Wilson 845 LLC (Greyhound/Baron’s) case should be of no surprise. And the residents of the Hilltop neighborhood who have been trying to do everything in their power to shut down the Greyhound/Barons bus terminal on North Wilson Road since July can thank their newly re-elected Mayor Andrew Ginther for breaking the law.

As Mayor, Andy Ginther is a party to City of Columbus v Wilson 845 LLC et al 2023 EVH 060592. As disclosed by Judge Stephanie Mingo on December 8, Ginther called the personal cell phone of Judge Mingo with specific needs on the case.

Suspicion 

Sara was on her way to Annie’s house. She was listening to DJ Kurt Bishop on her pink transistor radio, holding it to her ear to hear it better as the cars and buses roared past her on Long Street. Sara hated that it was pink, she asked for a blue one, but knew better than to say something negative about it to Shelia. Better to be pink then to have it taken back for being an “ungrateful brat.”

Sara and Annie had made plans to walk to Franklin Park and hang out. It was Saturday and the day was sunny and bright, so it would be packed with people. Annie liked to sit and people watch, as she called it. They would point out a person and then make up stories about who they were and what their lives were like. Annie always made up nice stories. The people were always successful, loved by many and beautiful. Sara’s stories were, what she felt, more realistic. The people had problems, they suffered great tragedies and harm and sometimes, to make it really interesting, they knocked people off, you know, murder.
