Mother believes TPS administration failed to support coach

To the Editor,I read the article in the Tecumseh Herald regarding skin infections among the wrestling team. As the mother of a Tecumseh varsity wrestler, I was surprised that such an article would appear in the paper two months after the end of wrestling season.Knowing the recent controversy with the repeated attempted firing of coach Greathouse, I was hoping for a balanced and informative article. Unfortunately, it became clear quickly that this was another attempt to discredit and malign coach Greathouse. One has to question the motive behind such an article.

Parent of THS wrestler disputes number of players infected

To the Editor,I am a parent to one of the wrestlers affected by a skin disease last season. I find it very irresponsible that you would print such an unfactual article. The person who gave you the non-factual article is nothing more than a disappointed father. His son couldn't make the line up after transferring here and he can't come to terms with it. There were five kids affected by skin disease for the season (not half the team or 22 kids). There were two cases of herpes. The skin disease came after wrestling a tournament at Gibralter.

TDL ‘irresponsible’ for failing to show how millage was needed

To the Editor, Please cue the violins and bring in the cheese and crackers. The TDL board’s response to Mr. Abraham notes a fund decrease in 2010 and 2011 like it was something terrible. The negative change in 2010/11 was a direct impact of the “planned” $800,000 TDL remodeling. Please note that the majority of the $800,000 came from our tax dollars not from endowments as stated in the editorial response. The TDL is managing our tax dollars and I would expect them to be a lot more transparent in reporting what they do, and plan to do, with our tax dollars.

Orchestra, chorus members help make city a ‘wonderful place’

To the Editor,Sunday was a gorgeous spring day, and it was made even better by the Spring concert of the Tecumseh Pops Orchestra and Community Chorus. Dr. James Ball has been conducting the orchestra for many years, but as the orchestra has grown, in no small part because of the Tecumseh Schools’ string instrument program, they are able to tackle more difficult music, and do it very well. Their “Billy the Kid” suite was very challenging, but they were certainly up to the challenge.
