HARRIMAN, Tenn. (WVLT) - On Devonia Street, everyone is selling something. Today, they're able to, because of what firefighters did last week.

"The biggest thing I couldn't emphasize more is that the wind was going in the right direction," says Karen Sella who owns a massage therapy business right behind the the old Miller & Brewer Building.

On Thursday, a fire at the old Miller & Brewer Building threatened to wipe Karen Sella out. But, she says her shop survived because of the firefighters who fought for it.

"I really believe they saved this block," she says.

The work has been tireless and the job is still far from over.

"In the last two or three days, we've probably put 100,000 gallons of water on this fire," says Harriman City Fire Chief, Brad Gross.

But, the remaining hot spots are so deep, they are having a hard time getting to them. That's where ACE Inc., a demolition company, comes in.

"We're shoveling up the material to allow the firemen to get down to the fire," says Sam Russell, the VP of Operations at ACE Inc.

"That's the purpose of getting the material moved around and getting what debris is left moved around so we can get those hot spots again," says Goss.

Chief Goss says he hopes to get rid of all the hot spots by Wednesday night. But, his team has already finished one job: Keeping Karen Sella's business up and running.

COUNCIL chiefs are pushing for the demolition of the former Greenock Academy to take place as soon as possible as costs spiral to 230,000.

The Madeira Street building has been lying empty since last May when the Waterloo Road drama was axed by BBC bosses and filming stopped on the site.

The cost of securing the building and the significant amount of asbestos inside it have both been blamed for pushing the bill up.

Now council chief executive John Mundell has used emergency powers to speed up the demolition process.

Originally the council set aside 164,000 to cover the cost of demolition.

But a total of 71,000 from that pot of cash has been spent on securing the site since the departure of the Waterloo Road production team.

This has resulted in a shortfall in the budget to cover the demolition, which will now cost 230,000.

Council bosses will have to identify money from other budgets to fund the demolition, which will be carried out by Reigart Contracts.

Workers have begun to demolish the portion of the Mall at Fairfield Commons that previously held an Elder-Beerman store to pave the way for five new restaurants.

The demolition began Monday morning and will take about 30 days, mall manager Bruce Goldsberry said this morning, Jan. 13. After demolition is complete, workers will build a new entrance to the mall and do some of the site work for the restaurant sites.

Two restaurant chains Chuys, an Austin, Texas-based Tex-Mex chain, and Huntington Beach, California-based BJs Restaurant & Brewhouse have filed plans with the city of Beavercreek to open free-standing locations in the newly created space. The Beavercreek locations will be the second Dayton-area restaurants for both chains, which chose Austin Landing for their first in the region.

BJs opened an 8,300-square-foot stand-alone facility at Austin Landing in Miami Twp. in September 2013. Chuys is building a 7,460 square foot restaurant with a 2,150 square foot patio at the corner of Austin Landing Boulevard and Innovation Drive. Its scheduled to open in the late spring of 2015, according to Ann Cleator, director of development for Chuys Restaurants, said Monday.

Three other restaurants, not yet identified, will be attached to the mall after the demolition and renovation are complete.

Elder-Beerman had operated stores on both ends of the Mall at Fairfield Commons for several years but consolidated into its store on the north side of the mall. The consolidation left vacant the portion of the mall that once housed a Parisian department store.

THE demolition of Blackburns iconic Waves Water Fun Centre is expected to be confirmed by councillors this week.

The 25-year-old baths, in Nab Lane, will close this spring and Blackburn with Darwen Council is expected to sell the site.

Work on a modern 13.5 million leisure centre, backed by Blackburn College, is already under way in nearby Feilden Street.

MORE TOP STORIES:

A report before the councils executive board, which meets on Thursday, recommends that councillors approve the demolition and give regeneration bosses the go-ahead to tender the demolition contract.

The report reads: The new leisure centre being developed in partnership with Blackburn College is nearing completion. It is anticipated that the current Waves Centre will cease operations in spring 2015 and become vacant.

The costs of holding empty property, its vulnerability, lack of alternative use for the building and the potential for a new development point to a requirement for early demolition.

Waves currently costs 32,000 per month to run, and even after demolition the holding costs of the site are expected to be around 17,000 per month costs which will be met by the councils leisure department.

Councillor Maureen Bateson, executive member for regeneration, said: The opening of the leisure centre in the spring and the demolition of Waves will create a new site for redevelopment and regeneration in the town centre.

Regeneration bosses will look to use the same contractor to demolish The Exchange Offices once home to the councils childrens services department the report added.

The Daily Briefing Buckeye Forum Podcast

The Dispatchpublic affairs team talks politics and tackles state and federal government issues in the Buckeye Forum podcast.

While some in Columbus were just waking up this morning, a piece of the citys history was coming down.

Crews began the first public stage of demolition at Franklin County Veterans Memorial today, starting work that should leave the site bare by the end of March.

A 100-ton excavator began tearing into the northern-most end of the building just before 9 a.m.

Crews from S.G. Loewendick & Sons excavation contractors, of Grove City, began even earlier, cutting steel beams with torches to make the machines job easier.

Resembling something like the jaws of a steel dinosaur, the excavators hydraulic shear bit into the wall of the building, easily separating concrete and steel as it began to munch away at the north exhibition hall of Veterans.

The demolition is expected to cost just under $900,000 and be wrapped up by March 31. The county will then turn the site over to the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation, which plans to build a $55 million Ohio Veterans Memorial and Museum in its place.

James Goodenow, director of the countys public facilities management agency, said this morning that the demolition of Veterans is bittersweet.

Goodenow, who used to be general manager there, said the site holds many great memories for Columbus residents.
