MOBILE. Ala. (WALA) - Fred Steiner said his 85-year-old mother-in-law was scammed out of $140 dollars after two men went to her house, saying her driveway needed repairing.

Last week the elderly woman who asked not to be named saidshe told the men to go away, but the men returned Thursday, January 9 and starting paving her driveway then demanded $1,700 in payment.

I couldn't believe it was $1,700 dollars I said you've got to be kidding. I said I told you I didn't have the money for this where am I supposed to get it from? You don't just walk up and hand a senior citizen a bill for $1,700 dollars when I told you I didn't have the money, the woman said.

Steiner said the men cussed and harassed her until she gave them money and threatened to sue her if she didnt pay.

His mother in-law gave the men $140 and left. She then called 911 and reported the fact she believed she was scammed.

When she and Steiner later went to check on the driveway, they discovered puddles of liquid and right underneath the newly paved driveway was dirt.

It reminds me of some kind of used motor oil or a hydraulic fluid. It doesn't smell like what you would put on a driveway, Steiner said. It seems like theres a lot of water in it.

The grandmother claims there was no name on the truck driven by the two men and they never told her who they were.

Shortly after the story aired on Fox10 News, another man reported two men approached him earlier in the day but he turned them away.

If it will save anybody else from going through this they better think twice before the let anybody pave their driveway because I don't think he put anything worth while on that driveway, the 85 year old said.

Demolition crews began tearing down the Deseret Chemical Depot, which was responsible for destroying almost half of the nation's chemical stockpile. The first building to go down was the Office of International Treaty Inspectors Thursday, Jan. 9, 2014 in Tooele.

U.S. Army

TOOELE A demolition crew has begun tearing down the U.S. Army's chemical weapons incinerator complex in Utah.

The plant has finished the job it was built for two decades ago: destroying almost half the nation's stockpile of chemical weapons, mostly rockets and artillery shells loaded with deadly mustard and nerve agents.

In Tooele County, there are mixed feelings regret that more than 1,000 jobs have disappeared at the Deseret Chemical Depot and relief that the nasty chemicals are gone for good.

The first building to bite the dust Thursday was the office used by treaty inspectors from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons. The inspectors came to Utah over the years to keep an eye on the Army's huge incinerator complex.

"(They) had remote monitors to view the operations that took place and verified that we destroyed the weapons that were stored here, said Gary McCloskey, general manager of URS, the company contracted by the Army to operate the incinerator complex.

Between 1996 and 2013, the incinerator burned more than 1 million bombs, rockets and other munitions, loaded with 13,000 tons of deadly blister and nerve agents. Under an international treaty, civilized nations agreed to get rid of it all.

"Chemical weapons were something the world could have easily done without, McCloskey said.

According to the Army, the site has now been cleaned of all dangerous chemicals. Some civilian businesses may be allowed to use a few remaining structures, but the Army itself will likely use the infamous igloos that stored the chemical weapons. Many of the munitions developed dangerous leaks as they aged into the 21st century.

SINGAPORE: Starting January this year, only certified renovation workers are allowed to carry out demolition works in HDB flats.

To be certified, contractors will have to send their workers for a safety course organised by the Housing and Development Board (HDB) and the Building and Construction Authority (BCA).

HDB said the course was introduced in June 2013 to train workers to avoid renovation pitfalls which could damage flats.

It said the number of illegal demolition cases has remained low over the years. However, a single incident could affect the stability of an entire building.

So those who want to give their flats a festive makeover, for instance, will now have to check if the proposed demolition works are allowed under government regulations.

For example, structures such as those bolded in black in a floor plan, typically cannot be demolished.

But to the layman, it can be a challenge to tell which structures can be removed.

Wong Kok Hwa, deputy director (maintenance management) at HDB, said: "Most of the flat owners may not be able to recognise which walls are structural walls and cannot be tampered with. So our advice to flat owners is that they have to seek HDB's approval before they carry out any demolition works."

HDB said such walls and columns support the building, and removing them may affect the stability of the entire block.

Contractors caught doing so may have their registrations suspended or cancelled, and disqualified for a maximum period of five years.

Residents of five communities in Olorunda Local Council Development Area, Badagry Lagos State, on Friday protested the demolition of numerous houses in their area, which left them displaced.

They took their protest to the Lagos State House of Assembly in Ikeja, where they urged the lawmakers to come to their rescue.

Mr Charles Adu, the Spokesman of the residents, said that the state government should urgently come to their aid because of the hardship the demolition had brought on them.

He also said that though the state government had written them a notification letter on the impending demolition of houses at Agemuwo and Agalato communities, the exercise was extended beyond the areas.

Adu said that the residents were surprised at the extension of the demolition to Muwo Phase Two, Araromi-Ale, and Atiporomeh communities.

He said that they believed that an unknown personality, who had been using the police to intimidate the residents, had engineered the demolition.

Adu said that 250 policemen invaded the communities on Dec. 14, 2013 to effect the demolition of their houses.

The spokesman said that the displaced residents now lived in churches and mosques under terrible conditions.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the protesters also threatened to go on hunger strike at the Assembly premises, until their demands were met.

Addressing them, the Speaker, Mr Adeyemi Ikuforiji, who was represented by Mr Segun Olulade, Chairman House Committee on Information, Strategy, Publicity and Security, commended the protesters for their peaceful conduct.
