Model Cavy

A brown and black guinea pig named Fred enjoyed 15 minutes of fame thanks to his appearance modeling a Kaytee Comfort Harness and Stretch Leash in our October “Columbus Pets Guide” cover story. “Fred is a @columbusmonthly model! George is jealous,” tweeted Carrie Ghose, whose daughter owns Fred and his unpictured brother George. “My toddler was studying that pic today,” tweeted Irene Alvarez, following up a day later with a photo of her daughter, Kalli, bent over the pages. “Back at it this morning.”

In another tweet, Ghose, who happens to be married to our editor, Dave Ghose, warned, “Don’t get the leash. The graphic is tongue-in-cheek. Unless you have a skinny cavy.” The Ghoses report that while the harness was not a good fit for the robust Fred, no animals were harmed in the course of the photo shoot.

COVID Consequences

“Tending Bar Under COVID-19,” an essay in our September issue by Oddfellows Liquor Bar manager David Yee, was one of our most-viewed articles online last month. In it, Yee describes how the coronavirus has exposed and increased the hardships faced by service industry workers and outlines ideas for change. In a Facebook post, Brandon Moseman called it a “must read,” while Jamie Clemento wrote on Instagram, “This man speaks unequivocal truths. Fetishizing brunch over literal human life has permanently changed the industry.”

Corrections

The new Liberty Branch Library at Home and Steitz roads will not replace the Powell Branch at Library Park, as was incorrectly reported in the Powell special section in our October issue. The new branch is in addition to the existing branch.

In his capacity as a trustee for another individual, Barry H. Wolinetz purchased a home in New Albany in February for nearly $1.1 million. An August 2020 article in the Home & Style section incorrectly reported he’d personally bought the home.
