Manila, Philippines The Liberal Party (LP) yesterday brushed off the attempts to link party stalwarts President Benigno S. Aquino III and Senate President Franklin Drilon to suspected pork barrel scam mastermind Janet Lim Napoles as an obvious demolition job.
LP Secretary-General Mel Senen Sarmiento said that linking Aquino and Drilon to the supposed multi-billion pork scam mastermind defies logic and is an act of desperation to undermine the governments effort in resolving the mind-boggling corruption issue.
They should not forget that it is this administration which is now moving heaven and earth to get into the bottom of these shocking stories of corruption involving the abuse and misuse of pork barrel funds, Sarmiento said.
The Samar congressman likewise reminded their critics it was the current administration that finally decided to abolish the pork barrel once and for all, although the operational word abolish would be subjected to debate for Minority members.
The objective is to turn this P10-billion Napoles pork barrel scam from being a corruption issue to a political case by diverting the attention of the public from the real culprits who misused the pork barrel system and pocketed millions and millions of public funds. What they dont realize is that this issue is now above and beyond politics, said Sarmiento.
This investigation into the PDAF (Priority Development Assistance Fund) scam would have not become possible without the Presidents support, he added.
Demolition Job
The solon called the moves to associate Aquino and Drilon two of the three most powerful officials of the country in the pork barrel mess based on pictures that went viral over the Internet as nothing but a demolition job.
Sarmiento said that photographs merely showing President Aquino and Drilon in the company of members of the Napoles family does not mean anything especially at this day and age when almost everyone has mobile phones that are also equipped with cameras.

LP sees demolition job in Napoles links

The demolition of the Glenside-Weldon School has been a frequent topic of discussion at several of the board meetings in the last year, and the Aug. 27 meeting was no exception.
The board approved the future demolition of the building in June, transferring $2 million from the general fund balance to the capital projects fund to cover the costs of the project, which was factored into the 2013-14 budget.
At previous meetings, the board explained they will keep and maintain the site until the construction of a new school building is needed.
We have grown by 300 students in the last three years, at the rate of about 100 students a year, so there is a significant possibility that we will need to build an additional elementary school in the future, said board President Raymond McGarry June 11. I think we are doing the prudent thing and whats in the best interest for the community.
Facilities Supervisor Stephen Saile presented a timeline for the demolition of the building.
According to Saile, the board began advertising the closure of the school Sept. 3 and will hold a public hearing regarding the pending closure Sept. 18. From the end of the year until January 2014, plans and specifications for the demolition and site design will be made and reviewed by the Montgomery County Planning Conservation District and Abington Township Planning and Code Enforcement.
The board is scheduled to take action regarding the closure of the school Jan. 14, and the demolition will be advertised and go to bid late January into February. Contractual awards are scheduled for allocation in March, and the demolition is scheduled to begin in April. Project completion and project closeout is scheduled for September and October 2014.
The demolition of the building will occur in four phases, Saile explained. Phase one will occur between April and May and entail the preliminary demolition of the building and asbestos abatement in the power house. Between May and June asbestos abatement will occur within the building and site demolition and clearing will commence. The demolition of the school building will take place in phase three from July to August, and the final phase of the project will occur in September and entail the construction of the new athletic field and site restoration.
Saile also explained that it is more cost effective for the district to demolish the building than to renovate it. Projections for 2014 show it will cost the district an estimated $29.4 million to renovate Glenside-Weldon and $26.2 million to demolish the building and create a new one. Continued...

Central Recycling Services turns construction and demolition debris into money at a bustling facility along Anchorage's Ship Creek.
The company made more than $3.5 million last year selling steel and crushed asphalt, concrete and glass to Seattle and Alaska markets.
Now, short on space and chafing at $60-per-ton municipal landfill fees, Central Recycling hopes to build two of its own fills for the shredded debris it can't sell -- 8,000 tons a year and rising.
The company has proposed two, 30-year debris disposal sites in Chugiak and Palmer.
As recycling supporters hail the proposed monofills, neighbors are pushing back, worried about the possibility for fouled drinking water wells and decreased property values.
Unlike conventional landfills, the debris fills are lightly regulated by the state with no requirements for underground liners or wells to monitor water quality. The absence of clear regulations spooks nearby residents. It also breeds unpredictable permit decisions.
Central's proposed debris dumps conform to Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation standards. Anchorage planners are recommending approval for the Chugiak site. But the Matanuska-Susitna Borough rejected the company's design standards for Palmer.
Central plans to install monitoring wells, co-owner Shane Durand said. But the public doesn't see that in the paperwork because the state application didn't require it.
"So we got hit for not having a monitoring plan," Durand said.
Opponents of the dumps see it differently. They say operators like Central -- and current or future debris dumpers -- are taking advantage of Alaska's lax laws.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa- Westdale Mall demolition and renovation plans are at a standstill after J.C. Penney Co. rejected changes to the entire mall. That apparent business standoff, first reported Thursday, is also impacting other businesses outside the main mall itself.
Frew Development Group is leading the push to redevelop the mall. The city of Cedar Rapids has also committed to $5 million in upfront development costs to launch the demolition effort. According to commercial realtors familiar with the situation, J.C. Penney is the only tenant with the right to have a say about physical changes to the rest of the mall. Both Frew Development and Penneys have so far been unable to reach a deal.
The impact to other businesses is connected with the delay in demolition. Frey Development was planning to knock down the old Montgomery Ward building, which was used most recently as offices by Linn County government, this fall. But another part of the fall work was beginning preparation of a new ring road around the exterior of the mall property.
Scott Olson, a Cedar Rapids city council member and commercial realtor, said he had three clients lined up ready to start projects of their own once the redevelopment of the mall reached a certain point. One of the prospects was a tenant for whats usually called outparcels along the edge of the mall property.
Putting off work on the ring road will push back completion of other development, possibly until 2015.
However, Olson said he has hope those businesses, eager to do their own projects in connection with a revamped mall property, will be willing to wait.
I think they will still be there a year from now. However, again, it delays their plans and it delays the malls plans not to have this underway soon, Olson said.
The ring road delay wont impact everyone. One official with Hunter Companies, developers of one strip mall site on the edge of the mall, said it wont impact what they plan to do. As a stand-alone development, most of the project already exists and draws its own customers. A planned expansion is already underway.
Lisa Rowe, Westdale general manager, said while Frew Development wont start demolition work as soon as planned developers anticipate catching up with where the project was expected to be by the end of 2014.

Delay in Westdale Demolition also Delaying Plans on Edge of Mall Property
QUINCY, ILL. -- Demolition continued Friday, a week after a late-night fire ripped through the Newcomb Hotel in downtown Quincy.
The work shifted its focus toward tearing down a large, 80-footchimney at the rear of the now mostly demolished structure.
"They're taking that thing down by hand,"Director of Building InspectionMichael Seaver said. "We felt it was probably the safest approach. We looked at all sorts of scenarios and we really felt like this was the only way that it could be done safely, even though it will take more time."
Police and fire investigators still haven't discovered what sparked the Sept. 6 fire that destroyed the long-vacant historic hotel. The fire came just under a week after city officials said it had a tentative developer for the building that is now tangled up in a foreclosure lawsuit and safety citations filed by the city.
The building owner, Skokie, Ill. developer Victor Horowitz of Newcomb Realty LLC, said he doesn't wish to speak about the hotel due to the ongoing legal battle with the city.
The city has pegged the cost estimate of the demolition at up to $500,000, but Mayor Kyle Moore and other city officials have said that estimate could change.
Seaver said that the city received a copy of a 2011 EPA asbestos study that says that there was only a negligible amount of asbestos in the building.
"We can treat all of the material as the demolition proceeds." said Seaver.
As for the cleanup of the site once it's secured, Seaver said that's a decision that the city council will eventually have to make. The Department of Inspection hopes to have a request for salvage proposals sent to the city finance committee on Monday. Once that is approved, the city can begin accepting bids for site cleanup.
Seaver also said it's too early to tell whether any of the materials from the building can be salvaged for future use or sale.
