Lorain eyes 19.5 acre land sale to diversify economy
Editorial argues the 19.5 acre iron ore pellet piles at the Black River mouth should be redeveloped rather than merely removed. It notes the piles symbolize Lorain's steel history, warn of the decline of local mills, and call for a mixed use project to replace jobs and tax revenue while Cleveland gains from the arrangement.

A letter alleges secrecy at Firelands School District after a superintendent removed a widely approved library book to appease two parents. Separate notes praise sheriff surveillance, recount burglary of air conditioners and lawn angels, and urge accountability. A rebuttal supports avoiding permanent bans on Lake Erie drilling while advocating flexible future options and new energy ideas.

Farm subsidies grow into a permanent entitlement
Joseph Perkins argues that what began as temporary wartime subsidies under the 1930s Agriculture Adjustment Act evolved into a costly, unfocused farm welfare system. He notes the 1996 Freedom to Farm law aimed at market reversion, but subsequent 1998 emergency payments and an $190 billion projection over a decade expand subsidies. He highlights who benefits, including large farms, corporations, and even universities and Congress members, while three-fifths of farmers rely on none.

Mrs Bush shapes role as first lady in Europe tour
Bonnie Erbe argues that this Mrs. Bush could redefine the first lady role by tying her visit to Afghan women's rights, identity cards, and global links, while noting gaps between rhetoric and action. She cites UNIFEM chief Heyzer and historical influence of Hillary Rodham Clinton.
