Panic gripped Osmania General Hospital on Monday morning after an elevator carrying 16 persons including a doctor, patients and hospital staff got stuck between two floors. It was after a harrowing two hours that the occupants were rescued by Fire Department personnel.

Eyewitnesses said the lift, carrying around 15 persons, stopped between the ground floor and the first floor, reportedly due to overloading. The people inside immediately shouted for help and alerted relatives over their mobile phone.

Hospital authorities called in an electrician as well as the lift engineer, but they could not do much as they lacked proper equipment. Afzalgunj Police and Fire and Emergency Services Department personnel who arrived, broke open the iron grill of the lift and brought its occupants down with the help of a ladder.

Luckily, the lift had an iron grill otherwise we would have had to supply oxygen through a pipe inside the lift, said Gowliguda fire officer A. Srinivasa Rao.

The problem occurred as it was an old lift. Those rescued did not suffer any injuries, hospital officials said.

Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz is warning residents of an asphalt scam by two men named Bill Boswell and Teddy Lee. Lutz says the two are suspected of running fake businesses called "Asphalt Construction" and "A-1 Paving." Lutz says the two men have been traveling across the nation, making stops in Ohio and right here in Muskingum County going door-to-door askingresidentsif they needtheir driveway re-paved.

"They try to basically convince them to let them put it down without quoting a price," Lutz explained. "They get so far and people see what they're doing and kind of stop them and say , 'hey how much is this going to cost?' and then they over charge them for it."

On top of cheating people out of money, Lutz says the suspects don't finish the job. The two men are known to target the elderly, and have addresses in multiple states.

"Spring and summer will be coming hopefully pretty soon and we want to make sure before that happens, that if these people are seen or these names are used in the community to contact Detective Wilson."

If you have been scammed by Asphalt Construction or A-1 Paving, you are urged to contact Detective Wilson at 740-452-3637 EXT 6019.

Demolition crews from A-Core prepare to bring down an old LDS chapel at 400 East and 100 South Monday, March 3, 2014. The building was donated to the American Cancer Society and is scheduled for demolition to make way for Hope Lodge.

Scott G Winterton, Deseret News

SALT LAKE CITY Patients battling cancer either far from home or without family will have the option to be housed in the city and nearer to medical facilities sooner rather than later.

The American Cancer Society this week is beginning demolition to prepare for its local Hope Lodge site, hoping to help up to 800 patients each year with a sterile healing environment that intends to be their home away from home.

"Cancer patients shouldn't have to worry about lodging arrangements or burdensome travel costs," said Pam Higginson, vice president and Hope Lodge campaign director for the American Cancer Society's Great West Division. "We are committed to bringing them this remarkable house of healing to let them concentrate on what's most important getting well."

Demolition is another step in making the Salt Lake City Hope Lodge a reality, Higginson said.

It has also helped to bring together other nonprofit organizations throughout Utah. The local Habitat for Humanity group has harvested materials from the old church building on the property to use in building homes for needy families or for the organization's retail store. The donation of materials is the largest Habitat for Humanity has received in Utah.

Five 30-foot pine trees that once towered over the church have been dug up and transported to the Navajo Tribe near Mexican Hat in San Juan County.

Labor and materials used for each effort also were donated, keeping several tons of building material out of Utah landfills. As the final demolition takes place, the remaining materials will be properly separated and sorted for additional reuse and recycling.

The new facility which will stand at the northwest corner of 100 South and 400 East, where the old 13th Ward LDS Church meetinghouse is located will offer 42 private suites, each equipped with two beds, study/office space and a private bathroom. The 43,000-square-foot building will also have several common areas for patients to mingle.

The permit process required before demolition is allowed in an industrial district could get a lot more detailed.

At its meeting Monday, the Brainerd City Council held the first reading of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that would lay out a more thorough process in obtaining a permit for demolition or decommission in industrial or mixed use districts.

Ultimately, it would give the city council more say and oversight in what happens during the demolition or decommission process.

The vote comes at the tail end of a four-month moratorium, which was placed at the councils Dec. 3 meeting, halting demolition in industrial districts. It ends April 3.

The move was in response to the city receiving inquiries from contractors in regard to potential demolition of portions of the former Wausau Paper site.

Staff was concerned because the structures underground will limit the future of the site in building and extending utilities. Other concerns with demolition included: potential noise, vibrations, truck traffic, heavy dust and disposal of hazardous waste.

Since then the topic was sent to the planning commission to hash out a better process to approve demolitions. The current process is an over-the-counter demolition permit.

That leaves no room for the city to provide input or have a say in what happens in a decommissioning or demolition process.

Its inadequate to protect public health, safety and welfare concerning all of the potential negative impacts such demolitions could cause, said City Planner Mark Ostgarden.

Should the proposed amendments be passed, anyone wanting to decommission or demolition property in an industrial or mixed use district must first apply for an interim use permit. Then, they must appear before the planning commission for a public hearing to explain how the decommissioning will happen and answer any questions.
