Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz is warning residents of an asphalt scam by two men named Bill Boswell and Teddy Lee. Lutz says the two are suspected of running fake businesses called "Asphalt Construction" and "A-1 Paving." Lutz says the two men have been traveling across the nation, making stops in Ohio and right here in Muskingum County going door-to-door askingresidentsif they needtheir driveway re-paved.

"They try to basically convince them to let them put it down without quoting a price," Lutz explained. "They get so far and people see what they're doing and kind of stop them and say , 'hey how much is this going to cost?' and then they over charge them for it."

On top of cheating people out of money, Lutz says the suspects don't finish the job. The two men are known to target the elderly, and have addresses in multiple states.

"Spring and summer will be coming hopefully pretty soon and we want to make sure before that happens, that if these people are seen or these names are used in the community to contact Detective Wilson."

If you have been scammed by Asphalt Construction or A-1 Paving, you are urged to contact Detective Wilson at 740-452-3637 EXT 6019.

Demolition crews from A-Core prepare to bring down an old LDS chapel at 400 East and 100 South Monday, March 3, 2014. The building was donated to the American Cancer Society and is scheduled for demolition to make way for Hope Lodge.

Scott G Winterton, Deseret News

SALT LAKE CITY Patients battling cancer either far from home or without family will have the option to be housed in the city and nearer to medical facilities sooner rather than later.

The American Cancer Society this week is beginning demolition to prepare for its local Hope Lodge site, hoping to help up to 800 patients each year with a sterile healing environment that intends to be their home away from home.

"Cancer patients shouldn't have to worry about lodging arrangements or burdensome travel costs," said Pam Higginson, vice president and Hope Lodge campaign director for the American Cancer Society's Great West Division. "We are committed to bringing them this remarkable house of healing to let them concentrate on what's most important getting well."

Demolition is another step in making the Salt Lake City Hope Lodge a reality, Higginson said.

It has also helped to bring together other nonprofit organizations throughout Utah. The local Habitat for Humanity group has harvested materials from the old church building on the property to use in building homes for needy families or for the organization's retail store. The donation of materials is the largest Habitat for Humanity has received in Utah.

Five 30-foot pine trees that once towered over the church have been dug up and transported to the Navajo Tribe near Mexican Hat in San Juan County.

Labor and materials used for each effort also were donated, keeping several tons of building material out of Utah landfills. As the final demolition takes place, the remaining materials will be properly separated and sorted for additional reuse and recycling.

The new facility which will stand at the northwest corner of 100 South and 400 East, where the old 13th Ward LDS Church meetinghouse is located will offer 42 private suites, each equipped with two beds, study/office space and a private bathroom. The 43,000-square-foot building will also have several common areas for patients to mingle.

The permit process required before demolition is allowed in an industrial district could get a lot more detailed.

At its meeting Monday, the Brainerd City Council held the first reading of an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance that would lay out a more thorough process in obtaining a permit for demolition or decommission in industrial or mixed use districts.

Ultimately, it would give the city council more say and oversight in what happens during the demolition or decommission process.

The vote comes at the tail end of a four-month moratorium, which was placed at the councils Dec. 3 meeting, halting demolition in industrial districts. It ends April 3.

The move was in response to the city receiving inquiries from contractors in regard to potential demolition of portions of the former Wausau Paper site.

Staff was concerned because the structures underground will limit the future of the site in building and extending utilities. Other concerns with demolition included: potential noise, vibrations, truck traffic, heavy dust and disposal of hazardous waste.

Since then the topic was sent to the planning commission to hash out a better process to approve demolitions. The current process is an over-the-counter demolition permit.

That leaves no room for the city to provide input or have a say in what happens in a decommissioning or demolition process.

Its inadequate to protect public health, safety and welfare concerning all of the potential negative impacts such demolitions could cause, said City Planner Mark Ostgarden.

Should the proposed amendments be passed, anyone wanting to decommission or demolition property in an industrial or mixed use district must first apply for an interim use permit. Then, they must appear before the planning commission for a public hearing to explain how the decommissioning will happen and answer any questions.

Brainerd City Council: First reading held in advanced industrial demolition permit process

Workers have started demolition work at the Port of Longviews Berth 4, clearing out wooden decks to kick off redevelopment of one of the ports oldest properties.

Operators of the ports 560-ton Liebherr mobile harbor crane were tearing up the surface Monday in front of the ports old grain terminal, which has gone unused for three decades. A second crane handled some of the smaller work.

Port officials said this phase of the $1.4 million dock demolition project should be finished by the end of the month and has supported seven jobs on the dock. Workers will finish the demolition of the pilings in October when state regulations permit work in the water to resume.

Port officials have identified the $12 million redevelopment of Berth 4 as a top priority to attract new industries and jobs to the area. In recent months, port officials have said they need to spend more than $70 million to upgrade aging equipment and facilities, and a divided port commission doubled the ports tax collections in December to generate money for some of these projects.

The dilapidated Berth 4 was once operated by Continental Grain Company until it was shuttered in the 1980s. Attempts to restart the terminal date back to the 1990s, but port officials abandoned those plans when they started pursuing the EGT grain terminal for the new Berth 9 site downriver.

Norm Krehbiel, the ports deputy director, said the old grain terminal dates back to Longviews beginnings in the early 1920s. Two expansions were completed by 1951, bringing the total number of of silos to 38.

Once the site is demolished, port officials say they envision bringing another bulk facility to the area, but they revealed no solid plans.

Krehbiel said port officials would need to do further testing on the silos themselves for demolition, and they have not lined up the financing. Nevertheless, he said they were excited to get started.

Its been on our radar for a long time as the number one redevelopment area in the port, Krehbiel said.
