Interceptions, fumbles and sacks highlighted this years clash between Tecumseh and Adrian’s varsity football teams where both the Maples and Indians were victorious in at least one half of the tense rivalry contest. Fortunately for Tecumseh, the Indians made a huge comeback in the second half and won the game 29-26.“It was the kind of game I thought it would be,” said Tecumseh coach Al Romano. “It came right down to the wire.

To the Editor,The Ambassador Bridge must earn a pile of money. Otherwise, why would the family that owns the bridge spend millions of dollars, first, to collect names to put Proposal 6 on the ballot, and second, to run TV ads pretending that the bridge would take money from police, fire and education spending?Canada is our largest trading partner. Canadian transportation authorities are so eager to improve the movement of goods across the border that they have agreed to pay for all costs of a new bridge.

To the Editor,With Mr. Romney and the GOP pushing for the expansion of the Keystone oil pipeline we need to remember the million gallons of oil that ended up in the Kalamazoo River in July of 2010. Enbridge Inc., a Canadian Oil Co., was aware of the cracks and corrosion of their 30-inch pipeline five years earlier and did nothing to correct those conditions.

To the Editor,Today, as I drove home from a weekend trip to my parents, I did a lot of thinking. I thought about four years ago when this country was on the verge of economic collapse. When President Obama was sworn in, I vividly remember turning to my husband and saying — just wait, they’ll blame this on him.He reassured me that there was no way the previous administration would escape blame. I wish he were right.

To the Editor,About 4 p.m. Friday, as I drove out Maumee Street from the library, a young guy about 15 years old, I’d say, saw me coming and deliberately strolled across the street in front of me. The other kids smaller than he, waited on the east side of the street. You would think kids in middle and high school knew enough to wait for traffic. I honked my horn, he just gave a smirk smile and waved.If they don’t know to wait, maybe you should get a crossing guard to help these “smart Alecs” across the street. When something happens, they blame the driver.
