The hydro line feeding electricity to the Mulvagh Wing was taken down. Demolition could not take place with electricity still feeding into the building. The chimney on top of the roof of the Mulvagh Wing was taken down in an interesting way. A hole was cut in the roof near the chimney. As a workman loosened the chimney bricks, he threw them through the hole into the Mulvagh Wing. In this way, the demolition of the building would not cause the old chimney to fall in an unpredictable way and potentially cause damage. A partial wall of exterior bricks on the side of the main building was removed in anticipation of the construction joining the new building with the main building on that level. The pile of these bricks will be removed at the same time as the debris from the Mulvagh Wing is removed. The Construction Manager indicated that Parkwood would benefit from commercial haulage being done after May 18. The City, in its wisdom, has a "halfload" policy whereby commercial haulage vehicles such as those which will remove the debris from the Mulvagh Wing are restricted to half their normal maximum loads to prevent undue damage to roads and unpaved surfaces. Thus, before May 18 it would take two trips by a truck as opposed to one maximumload trip after May 18. (One could say there is a policy which is not a few bricks short of a full load <g>) Summer Programs Assistant Position Opening Parkwood Church, Ottawa is seeking an enthusiastic, responsible, and self-motivated young adult to serve as our Summer Programs Assistant.
