Londons largest hospital is backing off the demolition of a former war veterans village, a plan which would uproot the citys tree-planting booster and likely doom a below-radar radar museum.

ReForest London and the Secrets of Radar Museum are both tenants in the Western Counties Pavilions near Parkwood Hospital, on London Health Sciences Centre (LHSC) lands on the edge of the Westminster Ponds.

Museum board officials were told it would have to vacate the Huron Pavilion in 90 days because its being demolished.

ReForest London, which, along with several environmental groups, rents space in the Bruce Pavilion, had expected to hear the same news last Friday but a meeting with a hospital official was cancelled.

Tuesday, after being contacted by The Free Press, LHSC president Murray Glendining issued a statement saying lease-termination notice was premature and would be revoked.

We recognize that the Westminster Ponds area is important to the community and we commit to broad consultation with all the key stakeholders before decisions are made, said Glendining in the statement.

The Secrets of Radar Museum has been a tenant since 2003. Curator Maya Hirschman said it operates on a shoestring budget and had negotiated cheap rent with David Crockett, then LHSCs vice-president of facilities management

He felt very strongly the hospital should be a good community citizen and we trusted him, said Hirschman.

But Crockett has since retired and been replaced by Dipesh Patel.

Hirschman said hospital officials told museum board members the old buildings were being demolished because they were too costly to heat and maintain.

NORTON SHORES, MI -- A long awaited demolition project that will lead to a more picturesque Norton Shores will begin later this month.

City officials announced Monday that Melching Inc. Demolition & Dismantling of Nunica will start razing the half-demolished building that once housed a Hills Department Store on March 27.

The work is a response to a court order by Muskegon County Chief Circuit Judge William C. Marietti.

The judge, in a trial opinion dated Jan. 6, said the building owner had 90 days to finish demolishing the structure located near the corner of Seaway Drive and Seminole Road.

Melching, who demolished the Sappi Paper Mill, will raze the structure on behalf of owner Talmer Bancorp, Inc., formerly known as Michigan Commerce Bank and Muskegon Commerce Bank.

The site, which also once housed an expanded Irwin's Home Furnishing location, had been part of the original, 17-acre Eastowne urban village plan.

However, former Eastowne developer, Town Centres LLC of Holland, lost the property to the bank, which lent the company money to fund the urban village project.

Scott Rogalla, general manager at Melching, said Wednesday the project will take about 2 to 3 weeks to complete. The company recently obtained a permit from Norton Shores to complete the work and is also required to give the Michigan Department of Environment Quality a 10-day notice to complete the demolition, he said.

Mayor Gary Nelund said the permit the company took out implied the work will be completed by April 20, two weeks after the court-ordered deadline, but the city is unbothered.

"If they need the two extra weeks, they're fine. We've been waiting for this to happen for six years so we can wait an extra two weeks," Nelund said.
