Around McCormick Junior High Town Listed on the National Page 2 Register of Historic Places ---------------Milestones Church Chat Page 3 ——— Community Calendar Page 5 ——— Library & Parks & Rec Page 6 ——— The Cleveland Road West Resurfacing and Cove Bridal No. 2 Bridge Replacement Page 7 Project is underway ——— Classifieds Page 9 On June 15, 2011, McCormick Junior High School, formerly known as Huron School, was officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places. This is third property in Huron to be listed on the National Register, the other two structures being Christ Episcopal Church and the Huron Lighthouse. When McCormick School was completed in 1943, it was the first “architectural concrete” school constructed in Ohio. The school was constructed in the Art Modernestyle, an architectural style not common for public buildings. Due to McCormick School’s unique architectural attributes, it qualified for the National Register listing under Criterion C- architecture.
The National Register nomination was completed by Lisa Yako of Historical Research Partners of Huron at the request of the Huron Board of Education. Though listing on the National Register of Historic Places puts no restrictions on what can or cannot be done with the building, listing does highlight the unique attributes of the structure and its place in the history of both the Huron community and the nation. McCormick School is truly an architectural gem, and this has now been confirmed by the National Park Service. The nomination process from the preliminary questionnaire to the final listing took approximately one year.
Motorists are reminded that repairs to the Cove No. 2 Bridge, located between First Street & Jim Campbell Blvd, on Cleveland Road West will require this section of the road only to be closed for the next 65 days. From the west, Cleveland Road West will be open from Rye Beach to First Street. >From the east, Cleveland Road West will be open from Main Street to Jim Campbell Blvd. All businesses on Cleveland Road West are open and accessible. The road resurfacing aspect of this project will not require any closures as work will be restricted to one lane at a time and road crews will direct traffic.

Patch Adams Gets Help From Local Teens A group of local teenagers is planning a “fun-raiser” for charity. When Carolyn Stierhoff, a soon-to-be junior at Huron High School, saw the Robin Williams movie Patch Adams, she was inspired to help the real-life doctor’s Gesundheit Institute, where he uses alternative medical therapies to treat people for free. After writing to Dr. Adams and receiving back letters and books from him, Carolyn asked her friends to help her raise money by holding a fundraiser to “increase awareness and have some fun,” she said. A group of nine Huron teens has been planning the event, to be held on July 30, for three months. The fun-raiser will entertain kids with carnival games, the Rock Band video game, and facepainting and henna tattoos. Adults can enjoy themselves as well by attending talks given by a chiropractor, a massage therapist, or an acupuncturist, and by going on an herb garden tour. A traditional German raffle will give attendees the chance to win great prizes. Crossfire, a local band, will be giving a performance starting at noon. The fun-raiser will be held July 30, 2011, from 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. at Mulberry Creek Herb Farm, 3312 Bogart Rd. Admission is $2 per person, but kids aged five and under are free! All money raised by the event will go to Patch Adams’ Gesundheit Institute. For more information call Carolyn Stierhoff at 419-239-5835.
