Qualicum Beach town council was expected to vote on a motion last night directing staff to proceed with the demolition of the Heritage Forest stable buildings.

Despite an eviction notice in May of last year, and then notification in early November that the building would be demolished, the caretaker is still living in the residence, Coun. Dave Willie said Monday. The motion in front of council last night to demolish the building included the words "when vacant."

"He's still in there," said Willie. "He's had his hearing and he has to be out by the 15th (of February). I think it's over."

Willie said the resident, who has been living at the town-owned facility rent-free for more than seven years, appealed the demolition ruling. The appeal was held with town staff, said Willie.

When council first brought a motion to demolish the facility in November, there was some discussion about saving the stables portion and razing only the residence. The town did an assessment on the facility but Willie said the consensus was it wasn't a good idea to leave any portion of the building still intact.

"To leave a shell (of a building) in the forest is just asking for trouble," Willie said Monday.

The motion in front of council last night also called for the town to refer to Heritage Forest Commission Council "to provide a recommendation describing what the Commission envisions for post-demolition restoration of the site, e.g. natural vegetation, etc."

(See Thursday's edition of The NEWS for a report on Monday's night's decision.)

The NEWS has received a number of e-mails from the same e-mail address from a man who says he is the resident/caretaker of the building. The NEWS has been unable to confirm the man, who says his name is Bert Nowak, is actually the resident but that name has arisen in this story in the past.

The NEWS received this e-mail Thursday (it is being published here in its entirety and unedited):

Demolition date nears for residence in Qualicum Beach Heritage Forest

OSAGE | Whether you wanted the demolition of the Mitchell County Courthouse, there was one thing everyone could agree on Tuesday: It was the biggest show in town.

Streets bordering the 1858 structure the center of lots of debate in the county for the past year were lined with onlookers with cameras and memories. Two television stations appeared to film the progress.

They should have kept it, said Dennis Fischer of Mitchell, who sat in his truck with his mom, Bonnie, to watch Dore and Associates Contracting, Inc., of Bay City, Wis., begin the demolition.

A digger began tearing away at the southwest and west side of the structure before moving to the south side.

Its a straight building, Fischer added, watching the progress. They should have fixed it.

Over 150 years of bricks, wood, insulation and lots of light brown dust mushroomed from the building as the machinery continued to claw at the building. Parts of old vaults could be seen laying nearby; some bricks were being salvaged and placed on pallets. The building was among the oldest courthouses in Iowa and on the National Register of Historic Places.

Demolition is expected to take two days, according to one unidentified worker. The front of the building and cupola being the last to be brought down, he said.

Im like one of those grumpy Muppets, telling everyone what theyre doing wrong, admitted another bystander, who declined to give his name. But yeah, its historic. Its sad. I think a lot of people hate to see it go. But its like someone died and the spirit is gone. This is just a site now. Its no longer a courthouse.

Here is how I feel: Whether you keep the old one or build a new one, I am more worried about the money spent in the meantime. Many nearby agreed it would cost too much to preserve the structure.

The courthouse will be replaced with a new structure that is estimated to cost about $7.2 million. Approval by voters of a new building failed in a recent election, but the Board of Supervisors pledged to go ahead with construction anyway.

Atlanta, Ga (PRWEB) February 04, 2014

It's that time of year again! The Kudzu users in the Atlanta Metro area have spoken and have chosen their "Best of 2013" local businesses. CitrusFresh Carpet Cleaning of The Atlanta Metro Area has been voted by Kudzu's users as one of their local favorites, making CitrusFresh a recipient of the award, which is based on high scores they received through customer reviews. Several of the customer reviews spoke very highly of the local carpet cleaning company, mentioning the top-notch level of customer service they received, the more natural citrus-based solution that they use, and the high quality of work performed.

Please see what these happy CitrusFresh Carpet Cleaning customers had to say:

"I wanted to go with a carpet cleaner that used natural products and that was considered to be safe, but to be honest, I was unsure about the ability of a natural carpet cleaner to take care of my very stained carpets. After reading the reviews and talking to the owner on the phone, I decided to give them a try, and I am so glad that I did. The products is natural and safe but took every stain right out of the carpet! Also, as promised, the carpets only took a couple hours to dry."

"The carpets were pretty bad, thanks to the wonderful job our kids had done destroying it! I was shocked with all of the stains that came out and really enjoyed the customer service provided by not only the lady that I spoke to when scheduling the job, but also the young man that came to the house to actually clean the carpets. All in all, we were very happy and will be using again in the future."

"After all of the rain that we have had this year in Atlanta, our carpets were looking pretty miserable. Recently, our dog became ill, which caused our carpets to look even worse. My husband and I thought that at this point we would have to suck it up and pay to have the carpets replaced. After receiving several quotes, all of which were 1k, we decided to try having them cleaned instead. We used this company and are so glad we didn't pay to have the carpets replaced. The natural carpet cleaner they use was an added benefit as well, we hate using any chemicals if we don't have to. Our carpets are completely stain free and look the way they did when we moved in! They have to be one of the best carpet cleaning services in Atlanta!"
