Demolition of the former Clarion Hotel eyesore in South Toledo, which has been delayed for weeks, was pushed back again with work now expected to start Thursday, a top official for the city of Toledo said.

Bill Burkett, commissioner of economic and business development, last month said demolition of the 11-story building at 2340 S. Reynolds Rd. would not begin until the contractor had finished removing contaminants, including asbestos insulation, mercury in thermostats, and batteries in the exit signs. Toledo taxpayers were put on the hook for another $38,000 to remove chemicals and hazardous materials. That was in addition to a $434,000 bid by Homrich Inc. of Carleton, Mich., to tear the building down.

Last week, Homrich was saying Wednesday and now they are saying Thursday of this week, Mr. Burkett said. During these delays, the fence keeps getting cut open, the plywood keeps getting taken off, and the building is broken into, so this is a lot more oversight on a daily basis than I had expected.

A representative from Homrich could not be reached for comment.

Mr. Burkett said the contractor is sending a specialized excavator to the site from another work site, but it was having trouble getting permits to transport the machinery through Indiana.

Once the work starts, it wont take long but I wish we would have been able to meet our 12-week deadline, he said.

Mayor D. Michael Collins said he also is frustrated with the delays and wants the eyesore razed as a catalyst for redeveloping that area where Southwyck Shopping Center once stood.

The mayor announced the beginning of demolition on July 7 and said the building would be gone in a month. When that deadline passed, city councilmen pressed for answers and an update.

Clarion Hotel demolition pushed back

Demolition of the old Princeton hospital started Monday morning, the first step in an estimated six-month-long project to clear the site for a residential development.

The town has said that it would keep a close eye on the demolition to safeguard the public health. Municipal engineer Robert V. Kiser said Monday that air and noise monitors are in place. Also, misting is being used to control the spread of dust.

Work began on taking down a one-story building around 9:30 a.m., he said. Six buildings are on site.

Developer AvalonBay is having its demolition subcontractor, Yanuzzi Wrecking & Recycling Corp., clear the property so that Avalon can build a 280-unit residential development. Avalon bought the land from Princeton HealthCare System, which had operated a hospital there for decades.

Anyone with a noise or other complaint about the demolition can call the engineering department at 921-7077.

Bremont Homes (http://www.BremontHomes.com), the Greater Toronto Areas finest home building company, is excited to announce that it has broken ground in Innisfil and Brampton with its Forest Edge and Noblewood projects, which will include the construction of new luxury homes.

The beginning of new housing development projects are always exciting times, says Gary Breda, president of Bremont Homes. Building new homes in Innisfil and new luxury homes in Noblewood will be great for the residents of each community and further cement Bremont Homes as one of the premier home builders in Ontario.

Breda explains that the development project in Noblewood will feature new luxury homes constructed within a private court off of Queen Street in Brampton. The designs will feature English Manor- and French Chateaux-style architecture, laid on 40 and 50 lots surrounded by sheltered forest.

Were building very dramatic houses with this new home development in Brampton, Breda adds. The construction of new luxury homes in Noblewood is meant to really reflect a successful lifestyle in a peaceful environment that will make homeowners feel as if they are nowhere close to the city.

Breda notes that Bremont Homes is just as excited about the Forest Edge development and building new homes in Innisfil. Thats because Innisfil is one of those areas that has a lot to offer and will continue to grow as more and more people recognize how wonderful of a town it truly is. Building new homes in Innisfil with this Forest Edge project is meant to accommodate the demand for what is sure will become a popular destination for homeowners looking for a unique area outside of the GTA.

The detached homes in the Forest Edge project will be along the Leslie and Adullam intersection, which is in close proximity to the lake and walking distance to amenities, Breda concludes. We at Bremont Homes invite all interested buyers to drop by the sales centre anytime before 8:00 p.m. from Monday to Thursday or call for an appointment.

Recognized as one of the Greater Toronto Areas finest home building companies, Bremont Homes is founded on a vision of quality design and workmanship, innovative style, and exceptional customer service. Over the years, Bremont Homes has developed a number of new communities and thousands of homes in Aurora, Burlington, Courtice, Georgetown, Maple, Pickering, Mississauga, Richmond Hill, and other prime locations in the Greater Toronto Area.

Spectra undulates based on NASA data recorded from May 2006 to May 2014. Field

At first glance, Spectra might seem like your average levitating kinetic sculpture. But dig a little deeper, and you'll discover a levitating kinetic sculpture driven by space.

The piece hovers as if to mimic the moon's lack of atmosphere. And its movements -- sometimes smooth and wavelike, other times more jarring -- are synchronized to reflect the effect of meteor impacts on the lunar surface.

Circuit boards and motors control the sculpture's triangular components. Laurence Symonds engineered the installation. Field

The creators of the steel installation, now on display at a space called 43M3 as part of the London Design Festival, based Spectra on NASA data recorded from May 2006 to May of this year.

Each of 12 recorded meteor impacts, varying in intensity, size, duration and origin, triggers movements in the undulating piece over the course of 3 hours, as well as sound shifts in a dynamically generated soundtrack. Viewers can follow the impacts on a data display.

"The mass of data that drives the installation contrasts with its very minimal design, creating an abstract sculptural expression of cosmic events that took place thousands of miles away," the creators, a London-based digital-art duo with a studio called Field, told Crave.

Though the artists have until now dealt solely with pixels, this piece has a definite real-world engineering component. It hangs from the ceiling, and circuit boards and motors control the custom-designed triangular pieces that make up Spectra like so many craters.

"The idea for Spectra is that it is a half-digital, half-physical landscape," Field tells Accept & Proceed, a London design studio and Field's creative partner in the endeavor.

"In a virtual environment you can defy the laws of physics, simulate hyper-real conditions, achieve the most vibrant colors, materials, reflections. We want to fuse these characteristics from our digital work into the physical piece."
