Photo: Ed Goodfellow Welcome to Tecumseh Life Stories by Anna Cabrera Cristofaro Special to The Star I n its own little corner of the country, nestled against Lake St. Clair, lies the town of Tecumseh, a charming hub of quaint shops, recreational centres, fantastic restaurants and picturesque homes large and small. Its allure is in its own leisurely clock; it’s at once a bucolic and urban space where attractions are plenty. In 2014, the Town of Tecumseh was recognized by Festivals and Events Ontario as the province’s “Best Festival City” for a town with a population of fewer than 200,000, thanks to the enthusiasm and dedication of a throng of volunteers who are excited to share their town with visitors and residents alike. This year, eager to maintain its reputation as a festival mecca, the town of Tecumseh will be hosting the Victoria Day Weekend Fireworks, the Parking Lot (3 on 3 road hockey tournament) Battle, the Fishing Derby at Lakewood Park, a Taste of Tecumseh Food and Wine Festival, Go Skateboarding Day, the Tecumseh Terry Fox Run, the Hospice Triathlon, the 2nd Annual Skateboarding Competition, the 2nd Annual Disc Golf Tournament, the 40th Annual Tecumseh Corn Festival and the International Dragon Boat Festival. Much of the town’s population is active, and the numerous sports fields, tennis courts, skate park and pickleball courts are often used. Its acclaimed dog park features a unique dog water fountain, many benches and accessible asphalt trails that curve throughout 2.5 acres of land. Those who love music too are endeared to the town, which proudly hosts a series of free community concerts that draw in crowds from around the region. From Sunday, June 7 to Saturday, September 5, music enthusiasts can enjoy a variety of sounds from local and visiting musicians, including flautist Jeff Kearns, acoustic guitarist Dale Butler, rockers Justin Zuccato and Band and Elvis tribute artists Norm Sr., Norm Jr. and Jax of the Ackland family. 6 Tecumseh Life • Spring 2015 Cinema with community heart O n any given night – and especially on Tuesday evenings – throngs of avid moviegoers pour into Imagine Cinemas in Lakeshore, eager to take in the sights and sounds of Hollywood. For general manager Gina Facca, the theatre is a sort of second home, a space which welcomes corporations, families and visitors who are not only fans of the silver screen, but those looking for an alternative to traditional banquet halls. “We’ve set ourselves apart, because not only are we independently and locally owned and operated, our customers will tell you we’re different,” she says confidently. “If you ask our customers, they would tell you it’s our service and the cleanliness of our cinemas, not to mention the entire atmosphere. “There’s a reason we’ve branded across the area – we have Lakeshore, Leamington, Kitchener and Timmins, all operating under the Imagine brand. And there are three more (theatres) planned into 2016.” With approximately 1,850 seats, Lakeshore serves as Imagine’s headquarters. Facca says they’ve cornered the market in terms of field trips and school functions, and have extended their reach into corporate territory. Businesses often book Lakeshore for town halls and training sessions, or will book a theatre for an Tecumseh Life • Spring 2015 Theatre of diversity: A recent Ontario PC leadership debate was held at Lakeshore Cinemas.

You’re not stuck in voicemail jail, and you’re not having to call Toronto or another out-of-town corporate office. We are very hands-on.” Families in particular benefit from Lakeshore’s kid-friendly atmosphere and competitive concession prices. Throughout March and summer breaks, the theatre often offers $3 children’s movies during matinee show times. “We try to bring kids’ movies back when there aren’t a lot of new children’s releases out,” explains Facca, “and it’s very successful. “We’re sold out almost every day, every movie.” Lakeshore Cinemas also promotes independent movies from local and national filmmakers; Gavin Booth’s The Scarehouse premiered here, and The Birder found great success with audiences here. “There’s something to be said about independent filmmakers being given opportunity for exposure at a locally owned operation,” says Facca. “We’re very supportive of (independent filmmakers) whenever we can be.” The paint has a very mat chalky finish and is velvety smooth to the touch.

F Tecumseh Historical Archives or those with a curiosity in this town’s illustrious history, there is now an extensive archival system that unveils hundreds of handwritten deeds, artifacts and photographs that go back to the mid-19th century. The new Tecumseh Historical Archives was a labour of love by a team of local researchers who spent nearly a year exploring Tecumseh’s history. Led by project manager Stephen Young, artifacts, newspapers, photographs and documents were compiled and archived in an effort to preserve the stories of the town. Included in the archives is 40 years of documents and images from the Tecumseh Corn Festival, as well as every issue of the Tecumseh Tribune, which was distributed throughout the town from 1959 until 2012. A myriad of artifacts, including household goods, military, police and fire items from throughout Tecumseh, Maidstone, St. Clair Beach and Sandwich South, have also been catalogued. In total, over 1,500 artifacts have been collected, researched and photographed. A joint project of the town of Tecumseh, the Tecumseh Area Historical Society and Employment Ontario, with assistance from the University of Windsor’s Leddy Library, the development of the online archive was a job creation partnership, which offered invaluable training opportunities for those who participated. Tecumseh CAO Tony Hadded told The Windsor Star that the project enhanced “the quality of historic data and material that is available to residents and businesses and researchers… wanting to learn more about the town and activities related to events that have taken place in town.” The Tecumseh Historical Archives can be accessed through the University of Windsor’s Leddy Library website, through the County of Essex or online at: www.tecumseharchives.ca. building centre Proudly Serving Tecumseh since 1988 Store Hours: M-F - 7:00 am - 8:00 pm Sat - 7:00 am - 6:00 pm Sun - 9:00 am - 5:00 pm 10 Tecumseh Life • Spring 2015 Here be Dragon Boats The quintessential Tecumseh event turns13 Dragon Boaters boarding their boats in preparation for competition. - Photos: Ed Goodfellow Let Us “Rock”Your World Take 5%OFF Your Order • Decorative Stone • Rockery with this ad • Stone Engraving • Concrete Statuary 2084 Manning Tecumseh. 519.979.3030 https://www.facebook.com/cedarhurstlandscaping.com Bag & Bulk Delivery & pick up available Tecumseh Life • Spring 2015 N ow in its 13th year, the International Dragon Boats Race for the Cure has raised nearly $3 million dollars for its benefactors, which include Windsor Regional Hospital, Windsor Regional Breast Health Care, Karmanos Cancer Institute, Hotel Dieu Grace Hospital Foundation, Leamington District Memorial Hospital and Windsor and Essex County Cancer Care Foundation. 11 Your Style Journey Begins Here! When Gerry Orum and Beth Noakes founded this fundraising event nearly a decade and a half ago, they had hopes it would receive significant support from the community, but never dreamed it would have this kind of monumental success. Noakes, who owned Top Drawer Casuals, “wanted to give back to her clientele,” explains Orum, “(who) were mostly women. French Dressing Jeans, one of 352 Manning Rd.

Orum says he anticipates 70 to 80 groups will participate. Some Dragon Boaters in festive costumes and the fabulous dragon sculpture at Lakewood Park where the annual races are held. “It’s been very rewarding,” says Orum. “Beth and I recognize we’ve been the captains of the ship, but it’s the people and the companies and the sponsors who are the real heroes of what this event is. Beth and I are so pleased we can say that and love that we have met our commitment that money stays here. You can call the hospital and find out what we’re about. We’ve done that because we want people to understand what this event is about and where your dollars are going.” PARKER VINCE REBECCA TAYLOR NICOLE MILLER PEACE, LOVE, WORLD ELLA MOSS SPLENDID 25 Amy Croft Dr. Lakeshore 519.735.9643 The Dragon Boat Legend Tecumseh Life • Spring 2015 The Dragon Boat Races are the most popular early summer activity in the Orient, whereever Chinese cultural influences prevails. It is the most important part of the Twan-Wu Festival, the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar. According to legend, during the Warring States period, 475-222 B.C., the state of Chu had a high-ranking minister of great talent and genius named Chu Yuan. To the west, the state of Chin was determined to seize the state of Chu. For this reason, feigning a desire for friendly diplomatic ties, the state of Chin invited King Huai to Wukuan, to draw up a treaty. King Huai did not heed Chu Yuan’s cautionary advice and consequently was kidnapped by Chin soldiers and died in the state of Chin. King Huai’s eldest son, King Hsiang, not only failed to consider avenging his father but also acted obsequiously toward the state of Chin. In addition, he believed a slan- der advanced against Chu Yuan and banished him. On the 5th day of the 5th month of the lunar calendar, Chu Yuan reached the bank of the Mi Luo River. There, the wise, sad hero committed suicide and threw himself in the river. When the people heard this, they feared the fish in the river would eat Chu Yuan’s body. Thronging into boats, they rowed out to the middle of the river and threw great quantities of rice into the water to feed the fish, thus hoping that Chu Yuan’s body would be left alone. The search for his body was evolved into present day dragon boat races and the ritual of eating “Tsung Tze”, sticky rice cakes wrapped in bamboo leaves. The TwanWu Festival also signals the change from spring to summer and can be traced back to the Chou Dynasty as a folk festival. In the distant past, farmers depended solely on the rain to water their crops. 13 On this festival day, farmers prayed for the “Dragons on the Clouds” to send him rain. They also prayed for the “Dragon of the Seas” to calm the oceans and rivers as floods were common when the mountain snow began to melt. Above the doors of the houses, they hung up long, sword like leaves of the water willow and mallow to disperse evil spirits. Siung-Huan Powder, arsenic sulphide, was used as a pesticide around the house. The red powder was also used to touch the foreheads of boys and give them protective powers. In Japan, Twan-Wu became boy’s day, which appears to be connected to this ancient ritual. Through the ages, many stories and fairy tales have evolved about this special day, but none surpasses the excitement and fun of the dragon boat races.

Players try to complete each hole with the fewest amount of throws, starting at the first of nine or 18 holes; the player with the lowest total cumulative score wins. For Scott White, president and co-founder of Windsor Essex Disc Golf, there is no better game. Tecumseh Life • Spring 2015 “It’s been a lifelong sport for me; I’ve been playing since I was about 16 and now I’m 35,” says White, who grew up in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where the game has been popular since the late 80s. “Even though I’ve been playing for a long time, I can still get better at it. It’s one of those sports that there’s no ceiling – there are always things you can work on.” White says that at first for many, the game seems like an afterthought, or one that’s not taken very seriously. “People think, ‘Oh yeah, that sounds like fun – golf with a Frisbee,’” he says. “But it has a long lasting effect on you, and when you have that first good shot, it’s addictive, and it makes you want to play more and more.” White explains that it’s a slow-paced game, one that’s placed with a group of four or six. Currently, the members of Windsor Essex Disc Golf play at Lakewood Park, with the hope of having their own official course someday. “There are probably 400 courses (throughout the state of Michigan) and there isn’t a single course in our area,” explains White. “We Summer Concerts in the Park Kelly Steele throws her second shot during a round of disk golf at Lakewood Park . Tyler Brownbridge/The Windsor Star want to change that.” For now, the game is growing. It’s a volunteer-driven sport, and the costs to join are minimal. It’s free to play, but for $30, new members will receive membership, a towel and a disc. “For those who don’t have five or six hours to play a round of golf but who still want to be outdoors, relax and have a great time walking from hole to hole, this is a great idea,” says White. “It’s no less challenging. It really gets you hooked. There’s nothing quite like it.” MAKE A STATEMENT! The Town of Tecumseh is proud to host a series of free community concerts.
