There was no discussion necessary Thursday as the Hancock County commissioners called the roll on an agreement with the Ohio Historical Preservation Office that will allow for demolition of several dilapidated buildings along Findlay's North Main Street.

In a 3-0 vote, the commissioners approved the agreement and handed it back to Steve Wilson. Wilson, a former Hancock County engineer and now a project manager for the engineer's office, plans to hand-deliver the document to the preservation office in Columbus today. The Hancock County Prosecutor's Office already has the specifications for seeking demolition bids, Wilson said.

City officials signed the agreement with the preservation office on Wednesday.

The flood-prone buildings, located just north of the Blanchard River at 115, 117, 119, 120, 121, 123, 125 and 131 N. Main St., were bought by the Northwest Ohio Flood Mitigation Partnership following the August 2007 flood. The partnership had intended to quickly demolish them. However, the buildings are located within Findlay's Downtown Historic District and the state preservation office would not allow it, Wilson said.

He said the main concern was that historic artifacts could become buried beneath a permanent structure such a levee or flood wall. Now that it is apparent that levees and flood walls will not be part of flood-control efforts in Findlay, the preservation office has agreed to the demolition, under certain terms.

The agreement requires the preservation office to be consulted before future demolition of publicly-owned properties within the historic district.

The office is also asking to be consulted on any proposed rehabilitation or redevelopment of publicly- or privately-owned properties, vacant since August 2007, in the district. Wilson said the state office will then determine if the work meets the requirements of federal standards for the treatment of historic properties.

Wilson was instrumental in negotiating the agreement.

DEMOLITION work on Rhyls former Honey Club is progressing well.

It is expected work to create a 60-bed hotel on the site will start in September with Denbighshire Council and Chesham Estates working on a development agreement.

Cllr Hugh Evans, Denbighshires Leader and Cabinet Lead Member for Economic Development, said: This is really welcome news for Rhyl. The building was in a terrible condition and was an eyesore in a premium location on the Rhyl promenade.

The work will now make way for a brand new 60 bed hotel subject to planning permission which will improve the look of the area immensely and provide an improved tourist offer for the town as well.

A spokesman for the council said: The anticipated start date for construction is September/October, subject to planning consent.

Back in January 2012, the decision was taken to close sections of Water Street and Crescent Road, surrounding the building, over fears it was becoming structurally unsafe and an increased risk of falling debris and potential building collapse into the public highway. As the building is in a Conservation Area, permission needed to be given from the Welsh Government for demolition.

*A SECOND survey at properties due to be demolished on Gronant Street, Rhyl, has found no evidence of bats.

A number of properties on Gronant Street, Aquarium Street and John Street, Rhyl, are to be demolished as part of the West Rhyl Housing Improvement Project after the need for a new green space was identified during a public consultation.

Demolition is to take place in stages, the first of which is the north side of Gronant Street, numbers 2 to 30. Tenders for the demolition contract have been received by Denbighshire Council and work is due to commence on site from July 1.

A spokesman for Denbighshire Council said: Following the recent concern regarding bats in the properties, a further survey has been carried out and confirmed that no bats will be affected by the demolition.

A member of the demolition team suddenly grabbed Maybellin Fronda, 2 years old, resulting in a spinal injury even if her mother was already about to leave their house to give way to the demolition.

By JANESS ANN J. ELLAO Bulatlat.com

MANILA While a nurse was preparing to put dextrose on 2-year-old Maybellin Fronda, she only stared at her. One of the nurses whispered that she is a rare patient. Children, she said, normally cry whenever they insert needles on them. Maybellin then let out a small cry and continued to stare as the nurses securely taped her dextrose.

Shes been a good fighter ever since we arrived here, Frelin Fronda, her 28-year-old mother, told Bulatlat.com.

Maybellin was hurt during a demolition of an urban poor community in Bignay, Princeville in Hulo Dulo, Valenzuela City. The demolition team arrived early morning of May 31, 2013. No court order to demolish the homes was served to the residents. Instead, a representative from the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWS) talked to the residents and advised them to leave their homes. Frelin said they were told that financial assistance would be given to the families.

According to urban poor group Kadamay, the community, where about 213 families reside, is considered by the government as a danger zone because it is right beneath the transmission lines of the National Power Corporation. The said demolition, however, occurred just two days after urban poor groups and the Department of Interior and Local Government signed an agreement that there would be no demolition along the so called danger areas in the National Capital Region until they meet again to discuss a possible solution for informal settlers.

The said pact was not only reported by media but was also posted at the DILGs website.

Frelin said before the election, they heard rumors that their houses would be demolished but not until after the election. The notice of eviction lapsed last May 21. Kadamay said, no less than 500 men in red shirts, who comprised the demolition team, implemented the demolition (on May 31) escorted by several trucks of policemen and a fire truck.

Frelin, not wanting to bring trouble to her children, agreed to go with the DSWD. But upon returning to her home to fetch her four children and their things, she saw members of Bantay Bayan, security forces from the city government, in their house.

GENEVA Plans to remediate the grounds at Memorial Field began Thursday with the partial demolition of the home grandstand, despite a small group of vocal residents determined to keep the field just as it has always been.

The City of Geneva issued a demolition permit for both the home grandstands and the tall, metal guest bleachers, Geneva Councilman Mike Schupska confirmed, and the Geneva Board of Education wasted no time in the removal of debris and materials from the property on Eastwood Street.

In February, the board of education announced the intention to demolish the grandstands, visitors bleachers and pressbox at Memorial Field. The board also announced the intention to gather bids for the demolition and plans to keep the old scoreboard as a landmark, BOE president David Foote said.

A small group of residents, led by Geneva High School graduate Lisa Pucci-Delgado, initially asked the board to retain ownership of the field or give the field to the city for any public use. That demand evolved, though, as the board agreed to use the property to benefit Geneva citizens, but made plans to change the topography of the field through demolition of structures and the remediation of the marshiest parts of the field.

Delgado, who started on online petition to save the field, said she is fed up with not being heard by her school representatives.

They should listen to their community and do what is right, she said.

Foote said the board of educations goal is still to return the field to public use.

Unfortunately for our community, access to Memorial Field has not been afforded for too long, he said. Sadly, as we all know, the home stands at Memorial Field fell victim to vandalism creating several safety issues for community use. Hearing the public outcry the board has been fervently working to see public use of Memorial Field realized once again.

No matter the reasons, at least one anonymous but clearly upset resident has started the Facebook page Recall the Geneva Board of Education.

The page had 44 likes as of Thursday afternoon.
