DEAR EDITOR: Todd Franko’s recent editorial, “Closing a Legacy,” published Aug. 18 in The Vindicator shared some of the details about the final milepost edition of the Vindicator, to be printed on Aug. 31, marking the end of a long legacy. The Vindicator all along has been both a ...

DEAR EDITOR: This is a very difficult problem for the neighbors who live near the decaying former St. Joseph Riverside Hospital. This issue will be duplicated for other neighborhoods across America as more and more hospitals close in small cities and rural areas. Let’s hope the officials who ...

DEAR EDITOR: Statements made by Liberty Township Trustee Jodi Stoyak published in the Tribune Chronicle regarding the lawsuit against Liberty Township were blatantly inappropriate and not accurate. (The lawsuit stemmed from the investigation into an unsolved death in the township. Jodi ...

DEAR EDITOR: Only an ignorance of world history allows people to believe socialism is the path to take, along with continuing indoctrination of socialism in our public education system. Decades ago a professor gave a talk at the library in Salem. It was titled, “Americanism versus ...

DEAR EDITOR: When I watched the Democratic debates, I came away thinking, “Are you kidding me?” When you have 10 candidates in one session, there was no time for anyone to get his or her message across. You know and I know that most of these people don’t have a chance to win the ...

DEAR EDITOR: They were bad, perhaps not to the bone. In all their lawless ways, they had a taint of goodness. The early 1930s crime in Chicago was at a high. Kingpin gangster Al Capone made his livelihood with bootleg whiskey and beer. The Saint Valentine’s Day Massacre was not one of ...

Here we go again in northwest Warren. Imperial another St. Joseph Riverside Hospital? St. Joe’s turned into a rat hole as nothing was allowed to occupy it. Christ Our King church — same. Let’s now add to the list of prohibited occupations of buildings that turn into criminal havens and ...

DEAR EDITOR: This falls under the category of “You can’t make this stuff up.” Who in their right mind would negotiate a contract that states that the water department doesn’t work weekends? The city let a water main break run for more than 24 hours because it’s against the ...

DEAR EDITOR: While Putin sits back and laughs as Americans go about shooting one another, he cannot be blamed for the epidemic of gun violence in America. That honor falls to Republicans, who refuse to control guns even though almost all Americans are demanding some kind of anti-gun ...

DEAR EDITOR: The Judiciary Committee brings as a first witness to testify, at taxpayers’ expense, to impeach President Trump, 80-year-old John Dean, the master manipulator of the Watergate scandal. He served four months in jail, is a felon, disbarred lawyer, did not even read the Mueller ...

DEAR EDITOR: Contrary to popular religious belief, money is not the root of all evil. Read your Bible. It is the “love” of money that is the root of all evil. The sun also does not rise. The sun is not what’s moving. It is the earth that is turning. What I just stated is fact. So think ...

Fifty-five years ago on Aug. 1, Operation Sea Orbit started. The first nuke-powered surface ships — Bainbridge, Long Beach and Enterprise, Nuclear Task Force One — steamed through the Straits of Gibraltar. On Aug. 6, 4,299 members of the Enterprise crew, including myself, became members of ...

DEAR EDITOR: On June 10 state Senators Michael Rulli and Sean O’Brien introduced SB 160. If passed, this bill will make it much easier to expunge records for those once incarcerated for mostly nonviolent offenses. While some see this bill as controversial, it will provide Ohioians with ...

DEAR EDITOR: Once again Warren and Trumbull County are in the spotlight in a negative way. Our congressman decided not to honor our flag or national anthem. This is a person that wants to govern all of America. We should have known better when he decided to protect an illegal person in ...

DEAR EDITOR: At first, mankind killed for food to survive, by using rocks and sticks, since killing something big enough to fight back was extremely difficult. Sadly, killing moved to fellow human beings for all sorts of reasons — jealousy, greed, lust as well as war between groups of ...

DEAR EDITOR: Can this really be happening in this country? Two mass shootings in one week — one in El Paso that left 20 dead, and one in Dayton that left nine dead. How can we protect ourselves from this? Stricter gun laws and taking certain guns off the market is not the answer. We ...

DEAR EDITOR: I’m tired of local Republicans standing up for this man in the White House. Remember in his tax bill of November 2017, General Motors got tax breaks to move the Cruze to Mexico. GM’s cut was $240 million. President Obama bailed out Chrysler and GM and took trouble from the ...

DEAR EDITOR: I feel a response is in order to some writers supporting this president of the United States, or POTUS, espousing they hate haters of him. There are four women in Congress elected by folks they represent — not by the haters or by POTUS. Folks like these haters are the very ...

It was funny to see Ohio Sen. Sean O’Brien posing for photos in Workhorse’s corporate office the same week that the company posted $6,000 in sales during the second quarter. This does not seem to be an indicator that this company will actually be successful in buying the Lordstown plant. ...

DEAR EDITOR: I feel sorry the “Squad” has let everyone down. They had a chance like everyone else who works hard and wins the vote of people to join in lawmaking. Just getting there is an honor, and many women have had an up-hill climb to be part of the elected. The problem shows up ...
