    Woman dies after driving through fence onto I-15 in Beaver – KSL.com

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    BEAVER Officials say a woman died Friday after she drove her car through a fence, up a hill and into traffic on I-15 in Beaver.

    Two men in a different vehicle were also injured, according to the Utah Department of Public Safety.

    About 5:22 p.m., a California woman was driving a white Honda car west on 300 North at a high speed, officials wrote. She kept going when she came to a T-intersection east of the highway, busting through a security fence and climbing up a hill and into the northbound lanes.

    She was struck by a northbound Ford van, causing fatal injuries.

    The woman was identified as Falon Henriquez, 28, of Temple City.

    Two Utah County men in their early 20s were in the van; they were transported to Beaver Valley Hospital with injuries that are not considered life-threatening.

    Everyone involved was wearing a seat belt, officials said.

    The wreck closed one lane of traffic for a time Friday. It is under investigation.

    The Conversation

    A historic first: the Confederate battle flag inside the U.S. Capitol. Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty ImagesConfederate soldiers never reached the Capitol during the Civil War. But the Confederate battle flag was flown by rioters in the U.S. Capitol building for the first time ever on Jan. 6. The flags prominence in the Capitol riot comes as no surprise to those who, like me, know its history: Since its debut during the Civil War, the Confederate battle flag has been flown regularly by white insurrectionists and reactionaries fighting against rising tides of newly won Black political power. An 1897 lithograph shows changes in Confederate flag design. The Southern Cross design, chosen to visually distinguish Confederates from Union soldiers in battle, became a symbol of white insurrection. Library of Congress via National Geographic The infamous diagonal blue cross with white stars on a red background was never the Confederacys official symbol. The Confederacys original stars and bars design was too similar to the U.S. flag, which led to confusion on the battlefields, where troop positions were marked by flags. The official flag went through a series of changes in attempts to distinguish Confederate from Union troops. The Confederacy would ultimately adopt the Southern Cross as its battle flag cementing it as a symbol of white insurrection. While it is technically the battle flag, it has been used the most, and therefore has become known more generally as the Confederate flag. The Confederate battle flag figures prominently in this depiction of the 1864 battle of Franklin, Tennessee. Kurz and Allison, restoration by Adam Cuerden, via Wikimedia Commons The original emblem Six decades before the Nazi swastika became an instantly recognizable symbol of white supremacists, the Confederate battle flag flew over the forces of the insurgent Confederate States of America military troops organized in revolt against the idea that the federal government could outlaw slavery. The founding documents of the Confederacy make its goals of white supremacy and preservation of slavery explicitly clear. In March 1861, Confederate Vice President Alexander Stephens declared of the Confederacy, its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. The documents drafted by seceding states make this same point. Mississippis declaration, for instance, was very specific: Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery the greatest material interest of the world.

Bettman via Getty Images Backlash against racial integration After the Civil War, Confederate veterans groups used the flag at their meetings to commemorate fallen soldiers, but otherwise the flag mostly disappeared from public life. After World War II, though, the flag surfaced as part of a backlash against racial integration. Black soldiers who fought discrimination abroad experienced discrimination when they came home. Racist violence against Black veterans who had returned from battle prompted President Harry Truman to issue an executive order desegregating the military and banning discrimination in federal hiring. Truman also asked Congress to pass a federal ban on lynching, one of nearly 200 unsuccessful attempts to do so. In 1948, the retaliation for Trumans integration efforts came, and the Confederate battle flag resurfaced as a symbol of white supremacist public intimidation. That year, U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond, a South Carolina Democrat, ran for president as the leader of a new political party of segregationist Southern Democrats, nicknamed the Dixiecrats. At their rallies and riots, they opposed Trumans integration under the banner of the Confederate battle flag. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, white Southerners flew the Confederate battle flag at riots including violent ones to oppose racial integration, especially in schools. For example, in 1962, white students at the University of Mississippi hoisted it at a riot defying James Merediths enrollment as the universitys first Black student. It took the deployment of 30,000 U.S. troops, federal marshals and National Guardsmen to get Meredith to class after the violent race riot left two dead. Historian William Doyle called the riot which featured the Confederate battle flag at its center an American insurrection. Charleston, Charlottesville and the Capitol More recently, the Black Lives Matter era has seen an increase in violent incidents involving the Confederate battle flag. It has now featured prominently in at least three recent major violent events carried out by people on the far right. In 2015, a white supremacist who had posed with the Confederate battle flag online killed nine Black parishioners during a prayer meeting at their church. In 2017, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists carried the battle flag when they marched in Charlottesville, Virginia, seeking to prevent the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. One white supremacist drove his car through a crowd of anti-racist counterprotestors, killing Heather Heyer. [Deep knowledge, daily.

A man carries the Confederate battle flag in the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, between portraits of senators who both opposed and supported slavery. Saul Loeb/AFP via Getty Images The flag has always represented white resistance to increasing Black power. It may be a coincidence of exact timing, but certainly not of context, that the riot happened the day after Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff won U.S. Senate seats representing Georgia. Respectively, they are the first Black and first Jewish senators from the former Confederate state. Warnock will be only the second Black senator from below the Mason-Dixon Line since Reconstruction. Their historic victories and President-elect Joe Bidens in Georgia happened through large-scale organizing and turnout of people of color, especially Black people. Since 2014, nearly 2 million voters have been added to the rolls in Georgia, signaling a new bloc of Black voting power. It should come as no surprise, then, that todays white insurrectionists opposed to the shifting tides of power identify with the Confederate battle flag.This article is republished from The Conversation, a nonprofit news site dedicated to sharing ideas from academic experts.

    What to look for in kitchen cabinets – Daily Monitor

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    By Promise Twinamukye

    You have probably seen homes with attractive kitchen cabinets and only years after they have been installed, they start crumbling. You cannot help but wonder, what happened? Did the homeowner get a raw deal?

    A plan is needed when one considers installing or remodeling any type of cabinet. Whether it is a temporary installation or you are a long time benefit, it will entirely depend on the kind of house you are in.

    This could be a rental or your residential house.

    One thing you may need to ask yourself especially when you want longterm cabinets is, will you still like them ten years down the road? Will they stand the test of time? This will help you not to settle for less.

    The material, according to Edrine Kimera, a 3D studio interior designer at Jomera Homes and Gardens, should also play an important role in planning for your cabinetry.

    This, he says, is easier in custom made cabinets since you decide on almost every detail.

    If you are on a budget, MDF would do a good job since they also come in different shades, you are spoilt for choice.

    Kimera says having various options would include an open kitchen which would leave you with a provision of space to install an island, which will give you more storage spaces.

    Plan for it

    Do not just dive in getting cabinets before you clearly understand where you are going to place them. There are places in the kitchen that will scream bad idea to your face when you try to alter the way they are.

    For example, by the window. Creating a cabinet by your window may not be so good an idea since it could cut off the light entering the kitchen thus creating uneven distribution of light in the kitchen.

    The types

    There are mainly three types of cabinetry and the others may fall under these three, that is, stock, semi-custom and custom cabinets. Knowing what they are and their associated benefits and prices can help you in decision making regarding your kitchen remodel.

    Stock cabinets are the type made in an order that cannot be altered or adjusted. Therefore, you will need to have a well-shaped kitchen space for them to fit well. Otherwise, if you have an oddly shaped space and you need a cabinet to fill, a stock cabinet may not be the best for you. This type of cabinets is often more affordable than the rest of the types.

    Semi-custom cabinets are also already made but can be adjusted for size and other customizations. They tend to be better quality than stock cabinets, meaning you will likely get more use out of them. They are slightly more costly than stock cabinets.

    Custom cabinets are the ones your service provider will make on your order. While they will cost you the most, they are flexible since they are made according to your tastes and preference. This option gives you a chance to utilise the best materials for the greatest durability.

    Cost

    Installing a cabinet can be a reasonable affair or a pricey one, depending on the size of the kitchen, style and materials or types of cabinets that you choose.

    According to Kimera, a full installation of a 13x11 feet of a kitchen will cost between Shs8m and Shs13m, depending on the material you are using.

    On Gayaza Road, cabinets can be installed per square metre starting from Shs400, 000.

    Here are the most stunning stats from Alabama’s demolition of Ohio State – CBS Sports

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    *Sigh* ... college football season is officially over and, yep, it came to a close with yet another blowout. Alabama is once again on top of the college football world, continuing the dynasty with authority last night. I've got you covered with plenty of items from Monday's title game, but we've also got some more big news to talk about -- including a semi-surprising NFL coaching change and a suspenseful development in the NBA.

    Bring it on.

    I was desperately hoping for a close, dramatic title CFP title game last night ... and for a little while it looked like we might get one. But Alabama's explosive offense was relentless and pulled away, keeping their foot on the gas until they cruised to a 52-24 win over Ohio State. That's yet another title victory for Bama and Nick Saban, who made history as the only coach to win seven national championships. (Saban has six at Alabama and one at LSU.)

    Like what you're reading? Click right here to get the CBS HQ AM newsletter in your email inbox every weekday morning

    You want a fun fact that'll blow your mind? Saban now has more national championships to his name than the other 129 active FBS coaches combined. Just an absolutely preposterous stat.

    Here are a few more stunning stats from Monday's game:

    How about one more stat for the road? Alabama finished out the season averaging 48.5 points per game, which is the most in SEC history.

    The amount of insanely talented skill position players that have come through Tuscaloosa over the past couple of years is just patently absurd, and Bama's gamebreakers were virtually unstoppable on Monday night. In the words of Saban himself, "good defense doesn't beat good offense anymore." And, as a Texas fan, it was beautiful to read Dennis Dodd's summation of Saban's greatness and how it's rubbed off on Steve Sarkisian:

    So a big congratulations to Bama for being so damn good that last night's game was disappointingly one-sided. In a college football season that was incredibly unpredictable and chaotic, the Tide's dominance was a constant ... and they left no doubt who the best team in the country was last night.

    After Week 17's embarrassing Eagles debacle, I wondered whether Doug Pederson's standing and job security within the organization might take a hit. Ultimately, Pederson and the Eagles decided to part ways yesterday, ending the coach's tenure in Philadelphia just three years after he coached the birds to a Super Bowl title. He's the first coach to be fired within three years of winning a Super Bowl since the Colts axed Don McCafferty in 1973.

    All things considered, I'd have to imagine that the decision to tank in Week 17 came from upstairs, which sucks for Pederson because he took a ton of heat for that mess and didn't even get to keep his job for the trouble. But it seems safe to assume the coach will have an opportunity to bounce back and lead another organization soon, perhaps one that will give him more control.

    As for what's next for the Eagles, our Jeff Kerr has put together a list of candidates that could replace Pederson... and it likely won't come as much of a surprise that Eric Bieniemy is leading the pack.

    The NBA still finds itself in a bit of a mess as it attempts to navigate COVID-19 early in this new year. The league has been hit hard by outbreaks within different organizations over the past week -- several teams have struggled to put the required eight players on the floor because of the virus. Postponements are starting to pile up and the league now has to decide the appropriate next steps.

    The league recently said it has no plans to press pause on the season, though there's always the chance that they reconsider that stance based on how messy things have gotten in recent weeks. That being said, there was an expectation that things would get worse after the holidays, so maybe the league will try to endure this spike while making some significant changes to protocols.

    Whatever the league decides, it sounds like the next few days could bring some big news, so stay tuned for that.

    I probably don't need to tell you that this year's NCAA Tournament is going to look a little different than it would in a normal year. We already know that the entire tournament will be held in the state of Indiana and have a condensed schedule, but COVID-19 will undoubtedly impact the tournament in other ways as well.

    In order to get an idea of what this year's March Madness may look like, we had our Matt Norlander gaze into the future and give predictions for multiple aspects of the tournament -- including key dates and overall schedule. Here's how he thinks the schedule will look:

    It's important that I clarify that these aren't solidified dates, it's just the schedule that Norlander envisions when he sees the tournament play out in his mind. It's also worth noting that the off-days included in this schedule could also be used to play postponed games, if necessary. If you want to get more into the finer details, Norlander also put together a full potential schedule using Jerry Palm's most recent bracket projection.

    The more you look at this projected template, the more you realize it's going to be a chaotic, nearly non-stop event for a couple of weeks. Norlander says he thinks it's "going to be fascinating" and "the best viewing experience in tournament history."

    The tournament is always a crazy and chaotic adrenaline rush, but condensing the entire thing is like shifting up and hitting the NOS button, so prepare yourself for that ride. Speaking personally, not having a tournament in 2020 has only made me hungrier for a crazy experience this year.

    Five reasons Michigan cruised to a 77-54 demolition of Wisconsin – Badgers Wire

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    In the game preview leading up to this top ten tilt, I wrote about Michigan freshman Hunter Dickinson going up against the best frontcourt he has faced in college. Wisconsins Micah Potter was perfectly suited to both slow the Wolverine star down, and thats exactly what he did throughout the first 8 minutes.

    While stopping Dickinson with his size and strength near the rim, Potter also scored five quick points before being pulled out before the first half under 12 timeout. With Nate Reuvers struggling mightily on both ends, Gard could not afford to leave Potter on the pine for long and went back to him with just over 11 minutes left in the first half.

    Then, within the span of just over 40 seconds, the Badger big picked up a pair of fouls. The second came on a moving screen call with 8:18 left in the half, and Gard quickly inserted Reuvers back in.

    It was a nightmarish first half on both ends for Reuvers, who finished 2-7 in the period and gave up numerous easy looks on the defensive end. He looked a step slow from the start of the night, allowing Isaiah Livers to prance to the rim for an easy layup on Michigans second possession.

    With Potter on the bench, Wisconsins offense fell apart and the Badgers found themselves down 17 at halftime. The game was over by the time he came back in. Like this entire performance was, Potter sitting after an incredible start cant be blamed on a coach or a player, but instead shared between the two.

    A cheap moving screen just isnt a foul that Potter can afford to pick up, knowing he already has one to his name. At the same time, with the game clearly slipping away at the under four timeout in the first half, there is no reason for Gard to leave his second best player on the night sitting. Its a steadfast rule of Gards (and many other college coaches), at least it has been for nearly every situation like this, that a player with two fouls sits in the first half. This wasnt the situation to stick to that rigid rule, but instead one where an analysis of the circumstances would show that Potter had to be out there. He wasnt, and Wisconsin paid the price.

    Lorain demolition reaches top floor of St. Joe Center – The Morning Journal

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    The continuing demolition of the St. Joseph Community Center worked into the tallest part of the sprawling complex on Jan. 12.

    West 21st Street was blocked from Broadway to Reid Avenue for safety as an excavator with a cutting claw, called a shear, began taking apart the five-story former hospital.

    Its address is 205 W. 20th St., but the sprawling Lorain complex takes up much of the block between West 21st and West 20th streets.

    Due to the height of the building, the operator drove the excavator up onto a mound of rubble to gain a longer reach to the fifth floor.

    Youve got to do it systematically because you dont want anything to fall out or fall in, on him, said Dennis Dannenfelser Jr., owner and CEO of All Star Demolition Services LLC.

    An excavator from All Star Demolition Services LLC, prepares to move scrap metal inside the demolition site of the former St. Joseph Community Center on Jan. 12, 2021. The demolition, already lasting about two months, has reached the five-story tallest part of the former hospital. The continuing demolition on that section of the former hospital caused closure of West 21st Street, from Broadway to Reid Avenue, on Jan. 12 and 13, for safety reasons.

    The Union, N.J.-based company is tearing down the community center for owners A7 Development Group LLC.

    The street was closed, although it appeared little, if any, of the building material would fall into the roadway.

    Better off safe, than sorry, Dannenfelser said.

    The daytime road closure was scheduled again for 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Jan. 13.

    Dannenfelser predicted the street could reopen once the crews had taken apart the building closest to the roadway and sidewalk.

    Then, the rest of it, he said.

    Dennis Dannenfelser Jr., owner and CEO of All Star Demolition Services LLC, right, speaks withSister Carole Ann Griswold, H.M., a retired Mercy Health vice president, during a ceremony to open two time capsules at the former St. Joseph Community Center on Nov. 10, 2020. Dannenfelser is overseeing the continuing demolition of the former hospital and it reached the highest point of the building on Jan. 12, 2021.

    "Weve got plenty of room,Dannenfelser said.

    The metal I-beams that hold up the building remained sturdy and would not collapse.

    Because of that, the demolition of that section was more a procedure of taking the building apart, instead of smashing it down.

    So, hes actually cutting the building down, Dannenfelser said.

    The brick there will be crushed and used for fill and the metal beams will be cut and sold for scrap, he said.

    The heating and air conditioning units atop the building appeared to be the highest section.

    They could collapse into the building, but likely are not as heavy as they were when new because inner pipes have been removed, Dannenfelser said.

    An excavator fitted with a shear, or cutting implement, by All Star Demolition Services LLC, cuts apart the five-story tallest part of the former St. Joseph Community Center on Jan. 12, 2021. The continuing demolition on that section of the former hospital caused closure of West 21st Street, from Broadway to Reid Avenue, on Jan. 12 and 13, for safety reasons.

    With that section down, he said he hopes to begin demolition at the easternmost section of the building by the weekend.

    After that, the three-story section, visible from West 21st Street, is made of reinforced concrete, so the crews will use another attachment to tear into it next week, Dannenfelser said.

    All Start Demolition Services LLC has posted additional photos, including some aerial views, on allstardemolitionservices.com.

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WRIC) External demolition of the portion of Virginia Center Commons planned for the new Henrico Indoor Sports and Convocation Center is underway as of Monday, according to county officials.

    Demolition inside the part of the mall that is owned by Henrico County began in November by the construction company Rebkee, the company that also owns the land that the mall sits on.

    A portion of the mall will remain standing with active tenants such as Bath & Body Works, JC Penney, Foot Locker and more.

    Rebkee is handling the construction of the new building, which is expected to be 200,000 sq. ft. and will cost around $50 million to complete.

    As of Tuesday, the demolition of the mall on the Henrico-owned land is now visible to passersby.

    Construction is expected to be completed by August 2022.

    Arlington Gateway: Demolition expected to start Feb. 18 for Upper Arlington project – ThisWeek Community News

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Nate Ellis|ThisWeek group

    After several delays, demolition work in advance of the construction of the 11-story Arlington Gateway on Lane Avenue is expected to begin next month.

    Fencing is around the properties at 1325-97 W. Lane Ave. and 2376 North Star Road in preparation of cleaning inside those buildings that Continental Real Estate Cos. CEO Frank Kass said was scheduled to begin Jan. 18.

    That work, Kass said, would ensure the buildings dont present environmental dangers when demolition starts Feb. 18. He said deep foundation work is scheduled to begin March 18.

    We closed on the properties in December, and we have to clean up any interior environmental issues before we tear down the buildings, Kass said. These are minor issues, and theyre being remediated."

    Kass heads a development group planning to build Arlington Gateway on the site of several former businesses, including Darron's Contemporary Furniture, Easy Living Deli, Learning Express Toys, Angel's Touch Asian Massage and Dibela Hair & Nails.

    The project, which Kass and Upper Arlington officials have hailed as a landmark development for the city, will yield 225 luxury apartments, 139,000 square feet of office space and 27,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space. It also includes plans for a seven-story, 866-space parking garage.

    The project was approved byCity Council in August 2018.

    Initially, Kass planned to begin construction in 2019 and complete the project in 2021. However, the projectwas delayed while traffic-access issues were addressed in addition tothe COVID-19 pandemic.

    Kass said Jan. 8 he hopes construction on the parking garage can begin in May.

    By the fourth quarter of this year, construction on the office buildings above would start, he said. The project should be completed by the fourth quarter of 2023.

    Steve Schoeny,Upper Arlington city manager, said hes eager for construction to start.

    The majority of the land upon which this project will sit was annexed into Upper Arlington in 2005 specifically for the purpose of expanding the citys commercial tax base and in the hopes that a notable mixed-use project would transpire at some point in the future, Schoeny said. The Arlington Gateway project represents a rare opportunity ... and a significant economic development accomplishment for the city.

    The project meets numerous (city) master-plan objectives, such as the enhancement of income tax revenue, the expansion of Class A office space and the attraction of new corporate citizens to the city.

    Kass declined to name tenants whove signed leases or are in discussions to be part of the Gateway.

    Schoeny said due to the projects location in a vibrant Lane Avenue commercial district that has direct access to Ohio State Universitys West Campus and state Route 315, city officials anticipate the Gateway will be filled by high-quality, mid- to -large (size) office uses.

    The developer has been in conversations with multiple potential tenants that have expressed interest in the building, he said. Current revenue projections indicate that the city will benefit by approximately $500,000 per year in income tax generated from this site, which would be expected to increase over time.

    Kass said the project is called the Arlington Gateway because it will be a grand entry to Upper Arlington and the capstone to that entire Lane Avenue entryway to the city.

    Its important to the city and its important to us, Kass said. Its been a heck of a process getting it done, but the city of Upper Arlington has been great to work with.

    Its going to be a centerpiece for Upper Arlington, he said. Its a $100-plus-million project. Theres not a lot of those going on right now.

    Demolition of former Hess and Clark building to begin this week – Ashland Source

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    ASHLAND -- Demolition of the former Hess and Clark building is expected to begin later this week, according to Mayor Matt Miller.

    The Mayor said demolition would begin Friday, Jan. 15 in his comments at the most recent Ashland City Council meeting.

    "Between Jan. 15 and 20 you should start to see some noticeable action there as they start dismantling that building," Miller said.

    Asbestos removal at the10 East 7th Street property was supposed to begin last week. It needed to be completed before demolition could begin, the mayor explained.

    In November 2020, Ashland City Council approved selling the former Hess and Clark building to Abacus Industrial Development for $100 in exchange for the removal of the decaying structure. Miller called the property a "public safety hazard."

    At that time, the mayor estimated that Abacus Industrial Development would demolish the structure within nine months and later replace it with an 85,000 square-foot data center.

    The city will not transfer ownership of the property to the developer until the demolition and cleanup are complete. The company is expected to leave only the concrete slab.

    The Ashland County Land Bank and Mayor Miller had been eyeing the Hess and Clark factory since at least August 2018. The city took ownership of the property from an out-of-town owner in late 2019.

    Demolition Progresses at 1841-1845 Broadway on Manhattan’s Upper West Side – New York YIMBY

    - January 15, 2021 by Mr HomeBuilder

    Demolition is progressing at1841and 1845 Broadway on ManhattansUpper West Side, where a 24-story mixed-use building is planned to rise.The two adjacent properties are owned byGlobal Holdings Management Group, and Ancora Engineering is listed as the applicant of record on demolition permits that were filed in 2019. The site is bound by Broadway to the east and West 60th Street to the south, and sits just north of Columbus Circle and the southwestern corner entrance to Central Park.

    Recent photos show 1841 Broadway reduced to about half its former height sinceour last update in late August. Workers are now disassembling the sixth floor behind the black netting and scaffolding covering the wide southern elevation and angled eastern profile facing Broadway. Meanwhile, 1845 Broadway now appears to be fully razed. At this pace, the entire demolition should be complete by early spring, with excavation, foundations, and the start of construction possibly commencing sometime in the second half of the year.

    The 97-year-old 1841 Broadway formerly stood 12 stories with 114,022 square feet of space, while the 111-year-old 1845 Broadway was a smaller four-story commercial building that spanned just 15,068 square feet. The two properties sit between the Time Warner Center and Trump International Hotel & Tower, directly across from the 59th Street-Columbus Circle subway station, which is serviced by A, B, C, D, and 1 trains. The new superstructure will stand roughly twice as tall as 1841 Broadways original height and provide views of Central Park, Billionaires Row, and Columbus Circle.

    No renderings, construction timelines, or completion date have been revealed for the project.
