You name it, we got it, he said. One of the primary objectives on the agenda of
things to do is to inventory and catalogue every item. We are not even sure what all we
have yet.
He pointed to the west wall of the museum where a large bookcase stuffed with
old photo albums stands. For example, we need to sift through those. People have
entrusted us with family albums with pictures that even they cant identify. Some have
written information, some
dont. What we are especially
looking for is material
that tells the story of the
community, its manufacturing
history, its notable people
and objects of interest.
Brown and TAHS also
hope to expand the months
that the museum is open.
Currently visitors may view
the exhibits from April
through December. From
January through March the
museum is closed. We put
the closed time to good
use, he said. During that
time we will be cleaning
the building and the items
and doing inventory. The
building is not off limits
during that time, however.
Anyone wishing to see the
progress being made on
exhibits may schedule an
appointment by calling
423.2374. Regular hours
are Saturdays 10:30 a.m.
to 3:30 p.m. Admission at
anytime is free.
TAHS President Burdick,
who has a masters degree
in historic preservation from Eastern Michigan University,
emphasized the importance of the work done during the winter
Its our goal
shutdown. Every single item on both levels (main floor and
to make this a
basement) needs to be reviewed and inventoried. Its our goal to
make this a professional-grade archive.
professionalIt is interesting to note that neither preservationist is a
grade archive. native
of Tecumseh. Brown is from Ohio, while the Burdicks are
Michiganders, formerly of Jackson, but all three have taken a
keen interest in Tecumsehs history. The rest of the board is
equally devoted to the museum itself and to its mission. Besides
Burdick as president, the board includes: First Vice President
Chuck Harpst, Second Vice President Ryan Schumaker, Secretary Jay Russell, Historian
Dian Rentschler, and Assistant Treasurer Cynthia Given.
The TAHS meets monthly on the second Wednesday at 7 p.m. at the museum.
The public is invited and encouraged to participate. The museum building itself is
a charming artifact that anyone passing through town cannot help but notice. The
stone church, which serves as the museum, was the first St. Elizabeth Catholic Church,
constructed by parishioners in 1913. The building was eventually outgrown, and a new
St. Elizabeth was erected at 506 N. Union St., directly across the street from Brookside
Cemetery.
In his Notes from the President column in the quarterly TAHS newsletter sent to
all members Burdick summarized part of his philosophy on preservation. One of the
most difficult aspects of working with history is the concept of interpretation. This
means making an object tell its story to a museum guest. The difficulty lies in telling the
good AND the bad the pretty and the ugly, he wrote.

When the air is cold and the snow blows its only
natural to dream about warming hands and heart in
the tropics or desert heat. Those dreams can come
true for minutes or hours in the Conservatory at Hidden Lake
Gardens in Tipton. Were all decorated for Christmas, said
Conservatory Manager Diane Faust. Its always nice to come in
where its warm.
A visit to the Conservatory is time spent in three different
weather zones arid, tropical and temperate in the same
building. The Arid Dome, Tropical Dome and Temperate House all
offer different treats for the senses.
The Arid Dome features textures and forms found among
plant life in desert regions around the world. Faust said the dome
is kept cool throughout the winter to encourage blooming of the
plants, although the arid dome is certainly warmer than the winter
air of Michigan. We have a lot of aloe plants that will be blooming
in early spring, Faust said of one highlight in the Arid Dome.
For even more warmth, visit the Tropical Dome. Its around
68 degrees in the winter time, moist with lots of leafy plants,
said Faust.
Visitors wandering through the Tropical Dome take in the
beautiful date palm. This plant is close to 50-years-old, according
to Faust. Large banana trees are currently blooming and will
continue flowering through the winter. The cocoa tree blooms for quite a
while, Faust said. Repeat visits to the Tropical Dome can track the pods,
which appear after the cocoa tree flowers. The pods grow all winter to a
softball size.
Although winter is not the most colorful time in the conservatory, there
are pops of color in the Temperate House, which features many plants
common to this area of the country. Poinsettias and a hydrangea Christmas
tree are holiday highlights. We have quite a large selection of crown of
thorns, said Faust. We also have Christmas cactus blooming.
On Friday, Dec. 6 through Sunday, Dec. 8, Hidden Lake Gardens hosts
its annual Holiday Festival and Festival of Lights. Over 2,000 candle-lit
11
luminaries decorate the grounds for three evenings. On Saturday, Dec. 7, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m.
the Holiday Festival gets into full swing with music, crafts, Santa, and refreshments. We really look
forward to our holiday festival, said Faust.
After the holidays, color pops in the conservatory as the amaryllis blooms in the Temperate
Dome. We have a spectacular amaryllis collection, Faust said. We have all kinds of varieties.
Begonias are another bright draw in the Temperate Dome. We feature a lot of begonias,
said Faust. A lot of them bloom around Valentines Day.
The second weekend in March, the annual bulb show brings a breathtaking burst of color in
the Temperate House. The warmth of the building causes a variety of bulb flowers to bloom early.

without affecting the other, LoMonaco said. I can tell when muscles are too tight.
Sometimes you need to address them.
When thats the case, LoMonaco calls on one of two certified massage therapists
located in the office. I tell the patient they would benefit from a massage. I see a big
difference after people have been worked on.
One of the massage therapists is Charlotte Rozich, a graduate of the Ann Arbor
Institute of Massage Therapy. (Dr. LoMonaco) will tell me the area I need to work on.
Sometimes I can feel other areas that need work.
Using both myofascial and neuromuscular massage techniques, Rozich uses different
pressure based on the patient and the muscle tightness. This is not a fluff and buff. Youre
going to feel it the next day, but its a good hurt. LoMonaco said. You can come in for a
fluff, but we concentrate on making the adjustment in the muscle so that it reacts better
with the chiropractic adjustment. I see a big difference after people have the work done.
The bones stay in place after a massage.
One of the biggest fears people have about massage is the thought of disrobing in
front of other people. Its a stigma that keeps many people away. The therapist does find
it easier to manipulate muscles if no clothing covers them. But have no fearpatients are
left alone to disrobe leaving on undergarments and then generally lay face down on the
table covering themselves with a sheet and blanket before the therapist returns. I reassure
them that the only thing thats uncovered is what Im working on. said Rozich. When you
are in a profession like this, it doesnt matter. Youre concentrating on helping them. If
you are tired of Western medicine and are looking for help or prevention, this is the perfect
way of taking care of that, Rozich said. It is a way to keep in front of staying healthy.
While some insurance covers chiropractic care, the massage component is separate.
LoMonaco Healthcare Family Chiropractic is located at 10 Cairns St., Tecumseh. You can call
them at 517.423.2079.

TRAVEL
BROOKLYN BRIDGE, NY
on the
ROAD
By Cristina Trapani-Scott

again
Ken and Ollie Koons retirement has been one adventure after another,
literally. Thats because the two own and operate Ollies Group, a bus tour
company that takes groups on trips all over the United States. On April 17, 2014, the
couple will celebrate 19 years of organizing cross-country tours.
Every year I say I am going to stop, said Ollie, but what would we do?
Ollie started the business after working one season for H&R Block in Tecumseh, prior
to that shed worked for the American Red Cross. Ollie said it was a tradition at H&R Block
for the owner to take his employees on a trip each year. That years destination was the
casino in Mt. Pleasant. Ollie was allowed to take some guests. She was urged by those
guests to plan another casino trip, so she did and then she continued to plan more trips.
Back then, Ken was working full-time for General Motors and the tours were Ollies
project. At the time it was costing a lot because I was making so many long distance
phone calls, and we paid for the long distance calls then, she said.
Ken urged her to put flyers out instead of making all those calls. He loaned her $5,000
to get the tour company off the ground and Ollies Group was born. It took me about five
years to pay him back, but I did pay him back, said Ollie.
In 1999, Ken retired from General Motors and joined Ollie full-time on her tours. I tell
everybody hes my legs, and I have all the brains, she said.
Journeys that began primarily as casino trips have now blossomed to include
destination trips that tour all kinds of national landmarks. The group coordinates with
Getaway Tours, a bus company in Milan, and has traveled to such destinations as
Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, Mount Rushmore National Memorial in South Dakota
and the Grand Canyon in Arizona. Other tours for the group include Cape Cod, Vermont,
New Hampshire, Marthas Vineyard, Washington, D.C., as well as Colorado. For 2014, Ollie
is working on a first-time destination trip to Maine.
Most recently, the couple took three buses to New York City for two days. This was
their second trip in a year to New York City. The couple planned a July trip there as well.
Ollie didnt think the first trip would be well attended, but when I put the flyer out it just
mushroomed, she said.

TECUMSEH COUPLE REINVENT THEMSELVES
something lacking in the work he did, and they were talking one night.
She asked him a question: If you could do anything you wanted to do,
what would it be? He said he would go to law school, but added, I
cant because of you and the kids. It would be a burden, Ann said.
While I had enjoyed my work, as a claims adjuster I did a lot of things
with attorneys and got to the point that I really enjoyed that, said
David. There are attorneys in my family, so its something Id always
wanted to do that I thought had passed me by.
David asked Ann the same question and she said shed always
wanted to become a special education teacher, but thought it was an
impossible dream. Almost immediately, they began to research what it
would take to fulfill their dreams. My heart sank at first when I found
out that Ann wanted to go back to school, too, said David. I was
afraid if only one of us went back then, the other one might never do
it. But he and Ann had seen so many friends in their late 30s and 40s
who werent happy with what they were doing but not doing anything
about it. Unless you do something, youre actually just making
excuses, David added.
After their discussion, Ann was determined and said, Lets
figure it out.
In 2002, they both headed back to school David commuting
to Michigan State Universitys Law School in East Lansing, and Ann
beginning to take courses at Eastern Michigan University. There were
financial sacrifices, said Ann. We didnt take family vacations, and we
had to do without some extracurricular things for the kids. But in the
end it was well worth it.
For a time, the family living room in the home they had purchased
on Ottawa Street, next door to the Tecumseh District Library, was
converted into a study room, with tables and desks furnishing the
space. Looking back, the couple believes modeling good study habits
transferred to their kids, something Victoria has actually said helps her
at MSU now.
David said there were times he had to come home from work early
to pass youngsters in Anns Day Care off to their parents so she
could go to school or be home for his kids. He recalls car swaps
at the Park and Ride lot in Chelsea. The Lacasses also developed a

Excerpt from
the past...
It is related that one bright morning the stage left
Clinton for the west loaded with passengers. The road
was exceptionally muddy so that the heavy vehicles
succeeded in reaching a point only about a mile from
the village. The passengers walked back to the inn and
early next morning returned to the partly submerged
stagecoach. During the second day it reached a point
three miles from the village and again the passengers walked back to
Clinton to spend the night. The next day the stagecoach must have reached
another tavern for the passengers did not return.
At the inn, supper was served up to midnight and breakfast was served
as early as three in the morning. Rooms were filled to capacity every night.
Travelers sometimes sleeping on the floor in the office and under wagons
in the yard. Even the long ballroom upstairs was filled with beds when the
inn was crowded. If a register had been kept in the prosperous days of
the inn, on it would have been written names of some of the best known
leaders of the period. President James Polk, Daniel Webster, and James
Fenimore Cooper are reported to have visited the inn.
