Columbus is feeling the impacts of climate change — extreme weather, power outages, rising temperatures, and more. So what can we do about it?

Join the Ohio Environmental Council’s Emerging Leaders Council to learn more about the Columbus Climate Action Plan and how you can get involved in local climate work on Tuesday, September 27, 6-8:30pm., at Antiques on High at 714 S. High St.

Composer Gaetano Donizetti may have been born in the 18th century and his 1835 opera Lucia di Lammermoor may be based on Sir Walter Scott’s The Bride of Lammermoor, which was published 1819. But the updated version of Lammermoor that LA Opera is rather gloriously kicking off its 2022/23 season with is a startlingly spectacular state of the art production that is arguably the most cutting edge operatic live show that this longtime reviewer has ever had the good luck to behold. As directed by Switzerland’s Simon Stone, this rendition of an early 19th century work is a role model in how to successfully update classics for 21st century audiences, just as Leonard Bernstein and company brilliantly reset the tragic saga of Verona’s teen age sweethearts in Romeo and Juliet to Manhattan’s mean streets in West Side Story for 20th century viewers.

Saturday, September 24, 8-10:30pm, somewhere in Gahanna [the exact location will be sent to guests 36 hours before the event via the e-mail address that had been used during the ticket purchase]

This event will be a secret, PopUp, live show, creating an immersive experience that brings guests and artists closer together. Each Sofar typically features three diverse acts, from a wide range of genres, with no headliner.

This show will be an outdoor, BYOB, accessible performance at a coffee shop/art Gallery [in Gahanna] that will feature three amazing musicians.

Ticket cost: $18.00.

The time for niceties is over.

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Nan Whaley’s campaign has gone nowhere since the primary more than four months ago.

She was 15% behind in a reputable poll immediately after the primary and she has remained 15% behind in other recent reputable polls.

Nan must fire her campaign manager and advisers immediately and find a new set who can put her on the right path. I am not convinced that Nan’s own campaign judgment is all that stellar either, but she can’t fire herself.

Her opponent Gov. Mike DeWine has outfoxed her at every turn

First, he stayed quiet and tried to rebuild the Republican coalition, 52% of which abandoned him in the primary. Republicans are better at forgiving and forgetting after disputes. DeWine offered them some extremist anti-abortion red meat to smooth the process. His latest coup was getting the endorsement from former President Trump that makes it more likely that the Trumpers who passed on DeWine in the primary will come home.
