Contractors discovered recently that the Stearns gym basketball floor was not original. Pictured is the original flooring uncovered during replacement. On this floor, the lines defining the area called the “key” underneath the basket on the basketball court are actually shaped like a key, unlike on today’s courts. Stearns gym is thought to have been originally constructed in the 1930s. The county is completing renovations at the gym now. Over the last couple of years, the gym roof and gutters have been replaced, new doors and windows have been installed and painting and structural repairs have been done. The installation of the new floor is the last of the renovations planned. (photo submitted by Patty Aldred)
