For years, Cryston Swink feared getting a phone call from a police officer saying that her father had been killed.

Since Swink was a child, her father, Terry Bowers, had battled cocaine addiction and would periodically disappear on "drug binges" so his children wouldn't have to seem him high.

But with five years clean under her father's belt, Swink, who lives in Michigan, thought he had overcome the addiction.

"When he was clean, he was around and loved spending time with us," Swink said.

But two months ago Bowers disappeared again. Then last week Swink finally got the call she had been dreading for years.

Just before 10 a.m. Sept. 12, Orange County deputies found Bowers' electrocuted body along State Road 408. That was the first bit of news anyone in his family had heard about 57-year-old Bowers since he disappeared.

"My grandfather was here in Michigan and was on his way to come look for him when we got the phone call that he had died," Swink said.

Deputies say Bowers was attempting to steal valuable copper wiring from a utility pole between exits 1 and 2 on the toll road when he was killed by the electricity.

Deputies confirmed his identity Tuesday, and by Wednesday, his body had been cremated and sent to his father. Since his death, deputies have linked Bowers to about $100,000 in copper thefts from dozens of light poles along S.R. 429 from July 31 to Sept. 8.

In less than two months, Bowers managed to pull more than 25,000 feet of wiring from the utility poles, officials said.

DRUG raids have been carried out at two disused night clubs in Bolton town centre.

Officers found a 'large-scale, mature' cannabis farm in the building which formerly housed Club Ice and The Late Club in Bank Street after raiding it at 8.40am today.

The value of the drugs found has not yet been confirmed but is understood to be worth thousands.

Scenes of Crime Officers (SOCO) are due at the scene soon to investigate before the drugs are removed.

Sgt Kev Lister, of Bolton Central neighbourhood policing team, said: "We are quite happy with how things have gone this morning.

"We executed a search warrant following information that we have received from the general public.

"We have conducted a methodical search of the building and are confident no one is inside.

"It is a large-scale, mature and very organised cannabis farm.

"The scene has been made safe by an electrician."

The building externally houses two clubs but it is believed it is just one facility inside as an internal wall has been knocked through.

ABC Demolition begins at Giralang shops in Canberra's north.

After 10 years of slow decay, demolition has begun at the old Giralang shops site in Canberra's north.

The demolition has some locals relieved, as the neglected building has remained vacant since 2004.

Giralang Residents Action Group Ross Calvert said there had been safety concerns around the abandoned structure.

"It's been eyesore the centre for a number of years now. There's been vandalism, it's been a danger for children wondering in potentially, it's been of concern to the school for quite some time," he said.

"It really is something you don't want in your neighbourhood."

Mr Calvert said a new centre would be good for the surrounding community.

"We would welcome any development that provides a supermarket and accompanying shops," he said.

Meanwhile, a High Court challenge looms over the development of a Woolworths on the site.

A series of proposals for the redevelopment site have been rejected over the past decade.

GIBSON CITY Two downtown eyesores are coming down in Gibson City.

Lee Farms Excavating this week started demolishing buildings at 103 and 105 S. Sangamon Ave., commonly referred to as the Michaels buildings.

Im really glad we are getting this cleaned up, said Randy Arends, who bought the properties for back taxes. Arends, owner of Gibson City Meats and Deli, rents the building next door to the condemned properties.

Crews began removing portions of 103 S. Sangamon by hand on Monday morning; by Wednesday afternoon, they were able to begin working with an excavator.

"We are bringing it down gently," said Ken Lee, co-owner of Lee Farms Excavating, to protect the neighboring building The Main Attraction that remains open during the work.

"There is a lot of hand work involved," said Lee, whose firm is from Onarga.

A crowd gathered Thursday morning to watch as the final portions of 103 S. Sangamon were removed.

Again, the crew worked slowly, taking the remaining wall down piece by piece and making sure the building did not collapse into D.G. Sullivan's, a short distance to the west.

One of those watching was Mayor Dan Dickey.

"It sure looks different," Dickey said of the vacant lots that remained. "Downtown will never be the same, but it needed to be done."
