Amy Wertenberger, M.A., L.L.P.C. started The Stable Way as part of her therapy practice, but working in equine therapy has been her dream since high school.

To the Editor,It has been said of small and nostalgic towns like Tecumseh that they are similar to living in a large family. “Sometimes it’s fun, and sometimes it’s perfectly awful, but it’s always good for you.”I experienced this firsthand during the rather unfortunate event of last week’s auto accident on W. Chicago Blvd. As my family and I walked by the accident, staring at the police directing traffic, we noticed someone yelling at us from the back of the wrecked car.
To the Editor,Here we go again!The city government is on a mission to destroy the historical significance of Tecumseh. We need to preserve our heritage and encourage preservation of 100 year old treasures.Two items worth mentioning: The depository, a landmark of the Brookside Cemetery; and closing an alley serving us for over 100 years without a single incident. Just assuming an accident could happen is like saying, “I am not driving my car anymore because I could get into an accident.” How absurd is this reasoning.Alleys serve a purpose, delivering and unloading supplies.
To the Editor,I am renewing our subscription, but I want to express how disappointed I was in Mickey Alvarado’s July 5th front page picture of the young girl and her brother. It’s all about cleavage or it wouldn’t have had to be so close! It appears that he exploited her. For what? Why was it necessary?I’ve admired his work, with sports pictures but please keep poses like that of young girls off the front page — or any page of the Herald. Stop! And have respect for them!Sad for her!Jeanette FeightTecumseh
