Nelson, Lindsey Reitz, Addie VanMeter and Jessica Kun make up the Kickin’ It Tumbling Nelson and Coach Shannon Heffernan.
& Cheer Dance Team! As members of the dance team, they earned the titles of Division
Champions and Grand National Champions of the dance division! In attaining this ac-
complishment, they earned a full-paid bid to the Xtreme Spirit National competition,
which will take place in Orlando or Chicago.

These Keystone girls make up the entire 7-member team, which is led by KHS Teacher
Shannon Heffernan. This is Heffernan’s seventh year of coaching a competitive All-Star
dance team, and this is her ?rst year coaching these seven outstanding girls.

Of their exceptional performance, Heffernan states, “They performed the routine with
so much energy and their hard work at practice truly stuck out. This is my seventh year
coaching competitive dance, and I have never had a competitive team that performed
a routine as well as these girls did at the ?rst competition. The girls left me completely
speechless after their performance.”

Be sure to support and wish the team luck as they perform in their next competition at
Ashland High School on February 19.

Congratulations KHS Dancers!

State University wished to showcase all 24 types of sandstone
in production in the State of Ohio at the time of the building’s
construction. They would do so by building 24 sandstone pillars
in the building’s lobby. Each pillar would come from a differ-
ent quarry in Ohio. Colors range from blue buff, grey, yellow,
red, brown and white streaked. Grafton and Carlisle Township
produced grey and blue buff, however, the blue goes away after
several years of exposure to air. Grafton area sandstone is also
called Berea sandstone. Pillar number 19 has a prominent spot in
the lobby, located adjacent to a large plaque discussing the life
of Dr. Orton. Pillar number 19 is the pillar made out of sand-
stone from Grafton/Carlisle Township. You can visit this quarry
by going to marker number 8 on the Windfall Quarry Trail of the
Indian Hollow Reservation. This trail was dedicated in 2011 by
the Lorain County Metro Parks. Walk into the trees behind mark-
er #8 and you will ?nd the quarry very quickly. Do not wade in
since the water depth goes from a few inches to a 14 to 18 foot
immediate drop off. Entering the quarries is also prohibited by
The Lorain County Metro Parks.

A librarian at the geological library in Orton Hall discovered
a 1916 publication by the State of Ohio that says the quarries of
The Grafton Stone Company supplied the building stone for the
old county courthouse located in downtown Elyria. That build-
ing is currently under renovation. This was also con?rmed by the
diary of the daughter of the quarry foreman on Indian Hollow
Road, who says that he personally double checked the measure-
ments of almost every stone used to construct the Lorain Coun-
ty Courthouse. Other people say the stone was supplied by The
Cleveland Stone Company (now know as Cleveland Quarries).
This is simply wrong. Cleveland Stone claims to have supplied
the stone but that is only because it later purchased The Grafton
Stone Company and moved their records to Amherst. They “sup-
plied” the stone via acquisition after the fact.

Large photographs of The Grafton Stone Company foreman
and his family dating from the 1890’s will be on display at the
Grafton-Midview Public Library during the month of April,
2017. Finally, The Carlisle Township Historical Society will
have its quarterly meeting over dinner at the Unicorn restaurant
