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. The man had great difficulty in trying to restrain his dog who was growling and lunging at us. The man begged for us to please move quickly through the trail.
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.
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).
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.
It feels like a tax hike
Opinion: I have never written to a newspaper before, but I think I need to share my story with others. The president has stated several times that “if you make less than $250,000 your taxes will not go up.” As I just found out, this is a lie.
They don’t take much, but they don’t give much either
Opinion: I enjoy reading How You See It and comments from other writers, like Tom Hall from Lisbon. I agree with his Love/ Hate remarks.

For Iran’s rulers, it’s all about hard cash

America suffers setback in battle against Taliban
Editorial: Pakistan, the United States’ chief ally in the war on global terrorism, has told the Obama adminis- tration that it will not conduct any new military assaults on Taliban strongholds near the Afghan border.

China may be on brink
Opinion: Why can’t the United States be more like China? The question seems to hang in the air anytime the
United States should not forget Iraq
Opinion: Haiti, the economy, health care, suicide bombs in Kabul. How tempting it must be for the Obama team
