Albion Falls parking lot to be paved
By Gord Bowes, News staff
The city plans to pave a gravel parking lot near a piece of paradise. The 890-square-metre lot across from Albion Falls at Arbour Road is being paved later this year. East Mountain councillor Tom Jackson said hes been advocating for the work to deal with problems that occur each year. Theyve constantly had to fill in potholes and sunken areas, said Jackson. The Albion Falls work is part of a three-park project that is out for tender this month. Pathways at Bayview Park and a portion of the driveway at Heritage Greene Sports Park from the entrance gates to the road are also being paved. The parks department has asked for $200,000 in this years budget to pay for the work, a city spokeswoman said.

Construction of the 54-room Cobblestone Hotel on North First Street on Connellsville's West Side is one step closer following conditional approval Tuesday by the city's zoning hearing board.
The board approved six variances for the hotel and conditionally approved a seventh. That seventh variance has to do with a parking area Connellsville council and the developer must settle. Issues such as paving a parking lot in a triangular area across from the hotel site bounded by North First Street, North Third Street and an unnamed alley must be worked out.
Architect Jim McMullan of JMAC Architects of Bridgeville, designer of the hotel; Alex Pounds and Vincent Earnesty from Widmer Engineering; Tom Rosselot of Hotel d2; and Chris Rosselot, project spokesperson with Grant Forbes, answered questions from the board.
Carl Ritenour, acting as board chairman in the absence of Shawn Pilla, asked if the board could grant approval without waiting for the parking issue with city council to be worked out.
Tom Currey said the board could approve the project, since the issue with city council does not affect the issues before the board.
Board member Cecilia Driscoll asked whether the project would still allow public access to the Youghiogheny River.
Absolutely, McMullan replied. In fact, we encourage it. The project site was chosen because of its access to the riverbank.
Six other variances the board approved are:
Changing the need for a landscaping buffer zone between the hotel and a residence to the south. Pounds said a wide buffer will be replaced with a 6-foot high decorative fence, combined with a strip of vegetation.
Allowing the building and walkways to take up 53 percent of the lot as opposed to 45 percent. Pounds said this will allow the structure to be built on the property and reflects the driveway and sidewalks in addition to the building.

The Website is Down #4 Sales Demolition - Video
Workers have begun tearing down a closed steam heat plant on North Washington Avenue in Scranton that leaked fuel oil into the Lackawanna River in July.
Late last week, demolition started on the northeast wall of the facility owned by Dunmore businessmen Louis and Dominick DeNaples. They plan to tear down the entire complex, including the tank where the leak originated.
The plant once piped steam heat to most buildings in downtown Scranton. In 2006, the state Public Utility Commission allowed then-operator Community Central Energy Corp. to stop service and shut down after financial difficulties.
No one is sure how much No. 6 fuel oil leaked from the aboveground storage tank, puddled on-site, flowed into the sewers and eventually reached the Lackawanna River through its combined sewer overflow below the Poplar Street bridge.
About 71,000 gallons remained in the 508,000-gallon tank when a contractor drained it. State environmental regulators blamed a missing brass valve for the leak.
In November, the state Department of Environmental Protection announced it would fine the DeNaples brothers a civil penalty for using an improperly certified contractor to handle the tank and for storing contaminated soil in a partially uncovered pile.
DEP has not yet set the penalty amount because it let the owners extend the due date for a report on the sites environmental status from mid-January to the end of April, spokeswoman Colleen Connolly said.
The new deadline was necessary after a delay in obtaining equipment to remove the fuel tank, she said. The owners still must remove it and clean the contaminated soil.
Because it is more practical to remove the tank and complete the soil cleanup as part of the characterization process, the extension request was reasonable and approved, she said in an email.
The report will include an ecological receptor evaluation that will address the spills influence on the river, she said.

LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
The elevator shaft of the Clarion Hotel and Casino that defiantly remained standing after an overnight implosion came down Tuesday afternoon.
A spokesperson for the Controlled Demolition Inc., which was contracted for the project, said there was a chance the stout elevator shaft might "stall" during the implosion.
The company said the shaft moved downward along with the rest of the structure during the implosion, but came to rest after "failing" the initial four stories. The shaft leaned against the debris.
A crane with cables attached to the shaft assisted in safely pulling down the remaining piece, CDI said.
About 1,100 pounds of explosives were used for the initial implosion. It took about 10 seconds to bring down most of the 12-story, 200-room hotel that has stood at 305 Convention Center Dr. for 45 years.
Originally slated for 2:30 a.m., the big bang was delayed for about a half-hour as police were called in to clear out five people who found themselves inside the blast zone. Eventually, a series of explosions leveled much of the building as onlookers packed nearby parking garages to witness the spectacle.
When the dust cleared, a tower of the building was left standing.
Crews will spend about a month cleaning up the rubble.

Crane attempting to complete Clarion demolition
The demolition of a redundant 1950s silo at Shrewsbury's Flax Mill has been completed.
The south silo at the site in Ditherington has been razed to the ground. Work has now begun on the old office and stables buildings which are set to become a visitor centre run by the Friends of the Flaxmill Maltings.
Councillor Alan Mosley, chairman of the Friends said: We and the local community are delighted to see great progress on the site with the creation our own visitor centre, within the office and stables.
"There will be spaces for interpretation, learning, meetings and study alongside the enhanced public domain open space.
"Everyone has worked very hard to achieve this major step forward and we look to this phase one project serving as a catalyst for the regeneration of the wider site.
It was once the site of a busy working silo but today there is almost no evidence of the now fully demolished building.
English Heritage awarded the contract to demolish the south silo at the former Shrewsbury Flax Mill Maltings to Erith Contractors Ltd in September 2014 and work has been completed on schedule.
Prior to demolition the silo was shrouded with scaffolding and a protective sheeting to prevent debris from hitting the adjacent historic buildings.
Erith Contractors Ltd said they deconstructed the silo in small pieces, so that the historic main mill was not endangered. Specialist vibration monitoring equipment was installed on site to ensure the historic buildings were secure throughout.
Tim Johnston, project director, said: Wed like to thank everyone local to the mill for their patience as the silo was demolished.
