Tiffin Building Work Nears Completion

    Upgrades have been ongoing for the last 10 months in an attempt to provide more security around the Tiffin Building. Electrical fixtures and the wood siding has been damaged over and over again despite our attempts to thwart the vandalism. We've asked for help from both CK parks and CK police with little result.
    The vandals even crawled under the building and damaged the electrical feed to the building, tried to burn the place down, break electrical fixtures, break and deface the natural wood siding. Picnic tables and park benches had to be chained down to keep them from being fixtures of the building.
   The key players for all the work being completed are: John Highgate, Paul Weese, Dave Weston, the Ontario Work Program and the Duke Energy Foundation (I hope I haven't forgot anyone). Thanks to John Veenema as well. John V. has been keeping an eye on this building and park for years and has discouraged many vandals.
   Outstanding are a ceiling light, cage and the inspection.


New Blue and Yellow Puck-board covers damaged and unavailable wood siding. Purchased by Rotary Club. This should help with graffiti and siding damage.


High output lighting on a 6:00 pm to midnight timer. Perimeter low voltage lighting( 6:00 pm to 6:00 am). All protected by Lexan or steel cage NASCAR would be proud of. Purchased by Rotary Club and Duke Energy Foundation.


New ceiling purchased by Duke Energy Foundation. New lamp fixture and steel cage coming for ceiling that will be on when the main lighting turns off at midnight. Old metal ceiling removed as it was damaged by kids throwing rocks to break the light fixture.


New ground fault electrical, timers. Also, timer controlled receptacles under eves for Christmas lighting. Switch turns on light, bypassing timers, but the light cannot be turned off. Cabinets are key locked. Large high output light at right.  The lower receptacle is powered all the time where the receptacle to the left of the switch is the same main lighting timer. Purchased by Duke Energy Foundation and Rotary Club.


Receptacles (GFI) housed in protective locked cabinet for concert series and maintenance. Two receptacles in different circuits. Provided by Duke Energy Foundation and Rotary Club.
