Join Our Bicycle Co-op Meeting!
Dear Collinwood friends, and Ohio City Bike Co-op Trustees:
We will meet at noon at the Ohio City Bike Co-op on Friday Feb. 29th to discuss preliminary plans for creating a Bike Co-op on Waterloo in co-operation with Northeast Shores. This will probably be housed in the "Blue Arrow Building" a ~6000 sq ft storefront, a couple of blocks east of the Beachland Ballroom.
Mike Sherman, who has kept his LCI registration current since our LCI seminar in 2004, will attend, and I have invited John Kelly, a bike mechanic who has expressed interest.
We need to resolve issues of finance, ownership, liability, staffing, and even programing, so we are looking for volunteers to help guide and work on this project.
We will make some vegan food, and have the heat on!
If you are interested in making a bicycle co-op in our neighborhood, please consider joining this early planning meeting. The Ohio City Bike Co-op is located at 1823 Columbus Road. RSVPs are appreciated! Please contact John Boksansky at jboksansky@northeastshores.org and let him know you plan to attend.

Obama Campaign Office locates on Waterloo Road
Yesterday, Northeast Shores entered into a short-term lease with the Presidential Campaign for Barack Obama. The northeast Cuyahoga County offices for the campaign is now located at our Blue Arrow Building, located at 16001 Waterloo Road. They will be occupying this space until just after the primary election on March 4, 2008.
We understand that this site will be a location for voters to pick up materials about Barack Obama, such as brochures and yard signs. We also believe that campaign volunteers will use this location as a staging area to call potential voters.
This lease arrangement is not an endorsement of any candidate and is strictly a business transaction. We control vacant space in our commercial district and they need temporary space. We are willing to make similar arrangements with any other candidate for our remaining vacant space on Waterloo Road.
Also, please note that any board member or staff member of Northeast Shores working on any presidential campaign is doing so in their personal free time. The witnessing of anybody associated with Northeast Shores working on a political campaign during non-business hours is not an endorsement by Northeast Shores of the candidate and is a personal decision of that employee or board member.

Rare Film Footage of the Collinwood School Fire of 1908 to be shown at Exhibit Opening
A major exhibit commemorating the centennial of the Collinwood School Fire of 1908 will open at a public reception at Cleveland Public Library’s Memorial-Nottingham Branch on Monday, February 25, 2008, at 6:00 p.m.
The Collinwood School Fire remains the worst school building fire in United States history. On March 4, 1908, 172 children, two teachers and one neighborhood resident were killed as they attempted to flee Lake View School (Collinwood, Ohio) after a fire started in a closet below the front stairs. In the days following the fire, school buildings across the country were inspected. In the years following the fire, stricter building codes and fire laws were put into place to prevent such a tragedy from occurring again.
The story of the fire is told through spectacular period photographs, newspaper front pages, postcards, articles, period documents and a rare motion picture --to be shown publicly for the first time in a century-- of the fire scene and public funeral. (A short film of the Cleveland Fire Department in 1900 will also be shown. Cleveland Fire Department provided backup assistance to the Collinwood Fire Department during the 1908 fire.) A selection of fire safety brochures, produced by the National Fire Protection Association, will be available for library patrons to take home free of charge.
The exhibit also gives a glimpse into the history of Collinwood from its birth as the Collinsville railroad station in 1874 to its development as a leading railroad repair center, freight transfer point and manufacturing powerhouse. Its role as a place for lakeside recreation is told through a series of images of Euclid Beach Park.
The exhibit will remain on display at the Memorial-Nottingham Branch (17109 Lake Shore Boulevard) through March 31. Hours: Mon, Tues, Thurs (9:30-8:00), Wed, Fri, Sat (9:30-6:00). The exhibit will then travel to the following locations: Collinwood Branch Library (April-May), Main Library (June-September), West Park Branch (October) and South Brooklyn Branch (November).
Background information on the films
The Collinwood School Fire film was shot as the fire smoldered by twenty-three-year-old William H. Bullock*, a moving picture operator at the American Amusement Company (716 Superior Avenue, N.E.), who had rushed to the scene of the fire on a streetcar with his motion picture equipment. A week later he was showing the film in the American Theatre until Cleveland Police Chief Fred Kohler, responding to public indignation, “invited” him to cease and desist. The film was discovered in the archives of the Motion Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound division of the Library of Congress. It is believed that recently discovered footage represents only a portion of what was originally filmed.
The short film of the Cleveland Fire Department displaying its fire equipment was filmed in 1900 at Fire Department Headquarters (located on St. Clair Avenue on the current site of the Justice Center) by pioneering American cameraman G.W. “Billy” Bitzer (1872-1944). Best known as D. W. Griffith’s cameraman, Bitzer worked for the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company from its founding in the 1890s and later filmed Griffith’s Birth of a Nation, one of the most influential and controversial films in the history of American cinema. This film was also discovered in the archives of the Library of Congress.
*William Hubern Bullock was born September 13, 1885, in Patterson, New Jersey, the son of Edith Ayers Bullock and Sam Bullock, both immigrants from England. He died June 23, 1949, at his home at 15610 Pythias Avenue, in the Collinwood neighborhood of Cleveland. He was married to Josephine Bullock (Ca. 1892 - 2 May 1974). They had no children. Bullock was involved in the motion picture business his entire life. He was a projectionist at the Palace Theatre in Cleveland at the time of his death. He was buried at Lake View Cemetery.

Neighborhood Home Wins Historic Preservation Award
On July 25th, at the Cleveland Restoration Society’s annual meeting and preservation awards, held at the Hanna Theater, neighborhood residents Kurt and Sarah Gyorki received a 2007 Cleveland Restoration Society Preservation Project Award for the work they have done on their Canterbury Road home.
Their home, originally built by The Realty Trust Co. around 1910, was part of the Beachland development, primarily composed of summer homes, which was accessible from the Shore Line Electric Trolley. Beachland was originally advertised as an idyllic garden community, free of smoke and other nuisances created by the manufacturing districts of the city, and an ideal place to raise children. The development consisted of what are now Canterbury Road, Cornwall Road, Landseer Road, Windward Road, Abby Avenue, and part of East 185th Street. Today, the Gyorkis still find the neighborhood an ideal one to live, work, and to raise their children.
The award winning project consisted of removing the aluminum siding, which uncovered shingle siding, original window casings, and trim details. The windows were rehabilitated instead of being replaced and many exhibit their near century old float glass, known for its wavy appearance. The older three-tab brown asphalt shingle roof was then replaced with a 40-year dimensional shingle that approximates the look of cedar. An addition with matching shingle siding was constructed, giving the home a spacious family room, laundry room, full bath, and a basement. A kitchen remodeling made the project complete.
To make their project happen, the Gyorkis utilized one of the Cleveland Restoration Society’s Heritage Home Program loans that are made available throughout Ward 11 with the support of Councilman Michael Polensek. The Heritage Home Program loan is a 3.5% APR, 10-year mortgage loan for home repair and restoration projects. To be eligible for the loan, a house must have been built prior to 1958 and retain character-defining elements such as the original cladding and wood or steel windows. To find out if your home is eligible, or to take advantage of the Cleveland Restoration Society’s free technical assistance, call them at 216-426-3116, or visit www.clevelandrestoration.org
