Demolition works starts on 'death-trap' mill

6:00am Sunday 6th July 2014 in News

Howe Bridge Number Three Mill

DEMOLITION work is under way on a mill that has been labelled an eyesore, landmark and potential death-trap.

Howe Bridge Number Three Mill has stood in the centre of Atherton for 124 years but has been empty and derelict for a year-and-a-half.

Work has now started to demolish the building and the adjoining Number Six Mill added in 1919 as part of a plan to redevelop the site into a housing estate.

Shahram Sakhdari, head of development at Realty Estates, which owns the site, said: The demolition was originally approved as part of a supermarkets plan to build a store there but that fell through and now there is a plan to build up to 135 houses on the site.

That may change though as another planning application will need to be submitted by the housing company.

The demolition was believed to have been delayed due to fears that there was asbestos in the building.

But Mr Sakhdari said: The delay was not a delay from our point of view. One of the planning conditions was that the building needed to be documented because of its heritage. Because of that demolition did not start as early as expected but it was not a delay.

WILTON Demolition has begun at the towns elementary school as part of an $8.2 million project to combine the elementary schools in Lyndeborough and Wilton.

Demolition of part of Florence Rideout Elementary School began Monday. Hutter Construction crews are contracted to remove the building between the gym and what is known as the 1895 Building, which was once Wilton High School.

Although its old, inspectors have found the 1895 Building to be well built and worth saving; however, heating and ventilation systems will be replaced.

The space created by the demolition will be filled by a new three-level building, which is scheduled to be occupied during February vacation in 2015.

After students have moved into that building, the 1950s portion of the complex will be torn down.

All reconstruction and renovations of Florence Rideout are to be completed and ready for occupancy for grades 1-5 by August 2015.

Lyndeborough Central School will be turned into offices for the superintendent and administrators of the two-town school district.

Elementary populations in Wilton and Lyndeborough have fallen in the last decade, as they have in most of Greater Nashua. The two towns combined their school districts last year as part of consolidation efforts.

MERIDEN The citys Engineering Department is working on a plan to ensure building and hazardous materials do not fall into Harbor Brook during demolition of multiple South Colony Street buildings. The need for a plan and other issues that have come up in recent months have significantly delayed demolition.

Two weeks ago, Public Works Director Robert Bass told the Record-Journal that the state Department of Energy and Environmental Protection had an issue with the demolition project and the city was trying to figure out what theyre looking for. DEEP initially did not have a firm response on the issue, but has since clarified, noting that the city needed to address environmental concerns.

Specifically, we are asking how they plan to dispose of the waste and asbestos and PCBs and ensure when they demolish the buildings they are not going to get into the brook, DEEP spokesman Dwayne Gardner said Wednesday. They have done that, we are just waiting for (the city) to provide more info about how they will dispose of their PCBs. Once they do that, both parties can continue.

The demolition project involves razing 33 S. Colony St., which is the former Church & Morse hardware building, and the buildings at 51-53 S. Colony St. Demolishing the buildings would allow for a simpler construction process for a nearby railroad bridge. For more than a century, the bridge has contributed to downtown flooding, causing Harbor Brook to back up during major rainstorms.

More than 100 years old, the buildings are in poor shape and 51-53 S. Colony St. had been condemned. As part of the demolition process, environmental remediation took place at 33 S. Colony St. and partially at 51-53 S. Colony St. Because the remediation was not complete, the contaminated materials will need to be disposed of properly.

Harbor Brook runs underneath 33 S. Colony St., which heightened DEEPs concern, while 51-53 S. Colony St. runs alongside the brook.

The Town and its contractors had made no provisions for preventing asbestos (or for that matter any other demolition debris) from falling into the [brook]... Gardner wrote in an email in June. So, we have been working with them to ensure that the building materials were properly characterized and that the buildings would be torn down in a manner that would prevent releases to the brook and ensure proper disposal of the debris.

In addition to the need for an environmental contamination removal plan, utility complications, clearing out items from the buildings, remediation, weather and other issues have stalled the demolition. A ceremony was held in October 2013 to mark the start of demolition and officials expected it would only take a few weeks. It remains unclear when demolition will resume.

THE residents of Sitio San Miguel, Barangay Apas, Cebu City want the court to stop the demolition of houses in two lots in the area and declare null and void the title issued to the propertys owner.

The residents are referring to lots 942 and 947, which are 9,753 square meters and 7,411 square meters, respectively, and owned by Aletha Suico-Magat.

The two lots have at least 150 structures, more than 50 of which have been torn down since last March 4.

The request of the residents to stop the demolition and nullify the title of Magat over the two properties are contained in a motion they filed, through their legal counsel Escolastico Daitol, to the Regional Trial Court Branch 17 last July 1.

In their motion, the residents also asked the court to prevent Magat from introducing developments in the lots and conducting earth-moving activities there.

Magat is clearing lots 942 and 947 of structures because her family plans to construct a modern hospital in the area.

The residents are also asking the court to remove the fence that Magat built in the area.

Owner

In a copy of their motion obtained by Sun.Star Cebu, the residents said the demolition should be stopped because Magat is not the real owner of the two lots.

As in their previous statements, the residents said the two lots are among the properties acquired by the National Government from their original owners by virtue of the Friar Lands Act of 1904.

Stop demolition: residents to court

BAKERSFIELD, CA - What better way to celebrate our independence than to welcome a local hero home. Lance Corporal Jeremiah Thein is in his new custom built, Bakersfield house made possible by the Wounded Heroes Fund and countless community donations.

The house has been over two years in the making. That's when Jeremiah lost his legs in an IED explosion in Afghanistan. Friday, he walked into his new home for the first time.

"This is crazy. This is amazing," said Thein as he entered his new home.

In May 2012, the Marine Lance Corporal, a double amputee, lie in a Walter Reed Hospital bed. He had just sacrificed himself for the rest of his unit in Afghanistan.

But, Bakersfield had his back. Through Wounded Heroes fundraisers, soon Jeremiah was helping break ground on a custom house.

On Friday morning, a proud, patriotic, packed tent came to welcome him home.

"It makes you proud to be an American and be part of Kern County, those values that we take forward," said Rep. Kevin McCarthy.

Wendy Porter, Executive Director of the Wounded Heroes Fund, handed Jeremiah the keys to his home. Once holding his family's future, Jeremiah got to see a community-wide labor of love. From the kitchen, backyard, laundry room, and swimming pool, it is a hero's home.

"The love and joy I am feeling right now, I want to give that to the next family that comes to Bakersfield, to the next amputee, or to the next veteran who decides he wants to move here," said Thein.

"There's a lot of love that goes into helping somebody. Its an honor to be there and do it, and the most rewarding deal is when he walks in and he's all smiles. I love it," said Jim Ward of Northwest Builders.

Then she held an open house.

I invited everybody in the business that I knew, all of our friends and local Realtors, said Johnston, a homebuilder of more than 20 years.

One of her business contacts liked the unique finishes and asked Johnston to build her a custom home at St. Augustine Beach. That was the beginning of Generation Homes and of Johnstons re-emergence as a homebuilder, starting over from scratch.

Johnston, a petite and personable but no-nonsense businesswoman, came into homebuilding through the sales and marketing side of the industry, rather than the construction side.

After moving with her husband in 1982 to Jacksonville, she took a job as a site agent for Summerhomes Inc.

The company president brought ideas like total quality management to his business. He also emphasized training, including cross-training.

He trained builders on how to do sales and he trained salespeople on how to build, Johnston said. While I was working at the model, along with my training, I would go out to the job sites and talk to the plumbers and electricians, and Id ask them questions.

Nine years with Summerhomes prepared Johnston for the next leg of her career a 16-year stint with Mercedes Homes, where she became division president.
