Hypothesis: Free trade works (even if some people don’t)
Opinion: An excellent book by Tom Friedman, “The World is Flat,” reasons extremely well that free trade has no better com- petitor, even for those who may at some time lose their jobs to imports. Not only does he make arguments for (near- ly) every situation, but there is the fact that, in recent years, every U.S. presi- dent and every U.S. Nobel laureate in economics chimes in with support of free trade under any and every way you look at it (so far).
Where is East’s personality?
Opinion: I recently went to an Ursuline-East basketball game. The metal street sign and practice field welcoming me to the new East campus in place of the old high school was a sad sight. The gymnasium is a nice canvas, but it is blank. Aside from an American flag and a clock with a cage on it, the walls are white and it looks prisonesque. Even the floor has no symbol, nothing but black and blue lines.
Workers earned pensions
Opinion: The Vindicator recently published articles questioning the sustainability of Ohio’s public pension systems and a very emotional, yet incorrect, column by Bertram de Souza.

A writer’s daughter writes
Opinion: For almost two decades, my father,Tom Maskell, wrote letters to The Vindicator. I truly appreciate how many of them were published in these pages. Over the years, he would write a letter and, upon seeing it published, would compare the final version to his original to learn from the changes. My father was an engineer and never formally trained as a writer, yet he was always writing and working toward being a better writer. Even before publishing his book, he saw himself as a writer, and he was proud of each letter printed in your paper.
City needs a muzzle law
Opinion: My wife and I were hiking through the trails of Mill Creek Park last week when we encountered a man walking his large rottweiler on a leash heading toward us.

Youngstown, Warren schools can’t afford to skip the ‘race’
Editorial: President Barack Obama’s intention to seek $1.3 billion in this year’s federal budget to con- tinue the “Race to the Top,” a program designed to improve academic achievement in schools throughout the country, prompts this question: Will the Youngstown and Warren school dis- tricts, which are in academic emergency and ac- ademic watch, respectively, make a concerted bid for the grant money?
Excuses don't make the grade
