GTA IV: Demolition Derby Tournament (Round 2 of 5)
This was an idea we had a couple months back. Many of the cops robbers players enjoy demolition derbies. We got together and held grueling 5 round tournament to decide once and for all, who the best demo derby driver in the cops robbers group was. The results may or may not surprise you. It depends on how well you know the group. The second round was short and sweet. Vader ended up winning. THANKS TO ALL DRIVERS WHO ATTENDED!!! DRIVERS: Vader (Sabre GT driver) RPG Starmix (Sabre GT driver) MACJ0KER (Dukes driver) VOLBEAT (Dukes driver) Myself (Dukes driver)

A blast demolition wasn't the original plan for the Dick Henderson Memorial Bridge.

"We were slowly cutting away the bridge, and were going to cut it in chunks until we reached the banks," said Carrie Bly, a spokesperson for the West Virginia Department of Transportation.

WVDOT set out to close and reconstruct the bridge that once connected Saint Albans to Nitro. But the contractor started noticing problems about the landmark.

"They measured the weight of that steel by the original plans that were 70 plus years ago," Bly said. That's when contractors and WVDOT decided to demolish the bridge instead.

Crews willblowthe Saint Albans-sector of the bridge on Friday at 10 a.m. This is the second part of the bridge to come down. The bridge closed officially on January 7.

13NEWS checked to see if the plan is causing concern for those who make their living on the river. The bridge site neighbors a marine on the Kanawha River.

"The bridge was old and needed to be replaced," said John Pile, who works for Lou Wendell Marine Shop. "Progress takes a setback in your daily lifestyle sometimes."

Lou Wendell, the owner of the marine shop, said he's not worried about his business. Approximately 100 customers dock their boats at his marine. The bulk of construction will take place before boating season starts on April 1.

"I think we'll get all our customers back," Wendell said. "Maybe we'll lose one or two. But if we do, they'll be back the following year because most people are willing to travel a few miles here to the marina to use their boat."

Wendell said the demolition will shut down boat traffic for only part of the day during constructiononFriday.

The proposed demolition delay bylaw, which will go before town meeting this April for a vote, would allow the town to impose an up to 12 month delay for any building demolition. In the past when this bylaw was proposed, there were concerns about which buildings the bylaw would protect. This year, the Belmont Historic District Commission (HDC) is proposing that the bylaw apply to 215 Belmont properties that are listed on the Massachusetts Cultural Resources Inventory, according to HDC chairman Mike Smith.

The recent demolition of the historic church in Waverly Square was discussed. Selectman Andy Rojas had tried to get that demolition delayed, but the developer was not interested and Rojas said he had no leverage. A demolition delay bylaw would have given the town that one year period to try and work with the developer, said Rojas. Without the bylaw, the developer was reluctant to delay demolition because of the uncertainty.

The HDC will invite the 215 property owners and the public to hearings on the proposed list. There are two properties, one a showroom on Pleasant Street and the SS Pierce building in Cushing Square that will likely be removed from the list.

The proposed bylaw is a targeted approach that puts the town in the right direction, said Rojas.

The unexpected demolition of a historical house in Des Moines has produced some backlash, and moved the city council to look into changes, so it never happens again.

On February 14th, construction crews arrived at the property at 4111 Tonawanda drive. Less than 24 hours later. The home was destroyed. The reason so many are upset, is because it was a Lustron House. Its made out of prefabricated enamel steel, and was developed post-World War II, to help fill the need for housing for returning soldiers. Only 2,000 are left in the entire country, and about 150 are left in Iowa. The one in Des Moines was considered unique because of its large size, material it was made of, and the fact it had an indoor pool.

There was never any mention of demolition. It was always assumed that it would stay there. Unfortunately thats not the case but because planning and zoning did not make that a condition of the approval, legally the property owners had every right to demolish it, explained Christine Hensley with the Des Moines City Council.

Sarah Oltrogge with the Des Moines Historical Society said they just wanted more time- at the very least to be able to study and document it further. So, to make sure something like this doesnt happen to another historical building in Des Moines, Oltrogge has taken her concerns to the council.

The City of Cedar Rapids has some wording in its municipal code about a moratorium of 10 business days, so thats really what I would like this council to look at, said Oltrogge.

The council voted to not only look into this option, but research other options by creating a task force made up of the mayor, a few council members, members of the public, and historical society members.

The attorney representing the new owners of the property in question said that failure to communicate was the problem. He said no one contacted them to see if they had changed their mind about demolishing the house.

DEMOLITION DISASTER: Council Hears Concerns

PRINCETON, W.Va. (AP) - Princeton's demolition of a pre-Civil War house is on hold for 30 days.

Mercer County Circuit Court Judge William Sadler issued an order Wednesday staying the demolition of the Judge Johnston House.

The Bluefield Daily Telegraph (http://bit.ly/13oSrXhv ) reports that Sadler's order will give the Mercer County Historical Society time to negotiate with the house's owner, Betty Cutlip.

Cutlip had agreed to let the city demolish the house after it was condemned.

The historical society's attorney, William H. Sanders, says the group hopes to raise money to buy the house, and then have it evaluated to determine whether it can be saved.

The historical society says the house was built in the 1830s. It's 1 of only three surviving pre-Civil War homes in Princeton.

Silo Demolition
They had already taken a wedge of block work and pulled it out with a chain on the dozer, resulting in the silo squatting, queue the rather precarious attempt at pushing the silo over. Despite this attempt at picking up a Darwin Award, the driver walked away shaken up only.
