Preservation group hopes to save structure

The Bishop of the Diocese of Eastern Newfoundland and Labrador Rev. Geoff Peddle is supporting the removal of the 1894 church in St. Philips.

In a four-page letter given out in the new Anglican church at Sundays service, Peddle writes hes been considering the old churchs fate for longer than just the nine months he has been dealing with the issue as bishop.

The fate of the church has been a point of debate and even contention in the community since the last service was held there in 2003 following the construction of a new building on the same piece of property.

In March 2010, the community awoke to find that somebody had pulled the steeple off the church and left it on the ground.

Stephen Sharpe with the Church by the Sea says this newest development doesnt change the fact that his group is going to continue to rally for the preservation of the structure.

We are still interested in saving that church and putting the steeple back up, he said.

Sharpe said the letter wasnt something his group was expecting.

Were kind of disappointed in the letter. We had discussed partnerships and this sort of thing and we thought that before a letter came out like that ... Id thought that we may of had some kind of a stronger heads-up on it.

In the letter, Peddle identified with Sharpes group and what its trying to do.

WORCESTER, Mass. Church officials and preservationists are trying to figure out what happened to several 1.5-ton gargoyles from a Massachusetts church.

The church in Worcester (WUS'-tur) is a one-fifth scale replica of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. It was built in the 1890s and was formerly known as the Chestnut Street Congregational Church. It now is owned by an Assembly of God congregation and is on the market for $2.5 million.

The crumbling building was slated for demolition a decade ago but was saved with the help of Preservation Worcester.

The group's director tells The Telegram & Gazette (http://bit.ly/1CS7mbb ) the 3,000-pound gargoyles were removed for safety reasons by a construction company that went out of business. The company's assets were sold at auction, and the fear is the gargoyles were sold.

ROCKFORD, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A West Michigan church is issuing a call for the ultimate athletes.

They're creating their own spinoff of a popular television show in hopes of bringing their community and congregation together.

In just a matter of days, teh construction site will be transformed into an obstacle course, with the Bridgeway Community Church hoping that the physical challenge can raise some money for a great cause.

The show is a household name for many families--American Ninja Warrior--and it's the ultimate challenge for athletes.

Now, Bridgeway Community Church, in Rockford, is issuing a call to its community athletes.

"We like to go big," Elder Chair Brian Pankratz said. "The popularity is huge."

The athletes will test their strength, agility, balance, and more, to support the church's youth community center.

"Developing healthy kids was initiated to open lines of communication and de-stigmatize mental illness," said Kirsten Myers, the Executive Director of Special Services, for Rockford Public Schools.

For the last four months, Bridgeway Community Church has been hard at work transforming the property into a course for new ninja warriors.

"We have duplicated a lot of obstacles from the show, and have 9 finalists coming out," said Youth Pastor Cameron Versluis. "We designed the course in 3D before we built it."

COEUR d'ALENE - A proposed parking ordinance which addresses concerns about the McEuen Park parking garage was reviewed Tuesday by Coeur d'Alene parking commission members.

City Attorney Wes Somerton presented the draft ordinance and told the commission that the changes were originally brought to the city council due to observations from law enforcement officers about behavior in the parking garage.

"There was a lot of concern raised about people mingling around in the garage," Somerton said. "Since the garage is out of view, this creates a public safety concern."

People lingering in the garage, Somerton said, have caused several issues including vandalism which has cost the city $700 since the garage opened in March, and numerous instances of people breaking into vehicles.

Amy Evans, who sits on the city council and is a parking commission member, said the proposed changes to the ordinances would give the Coeur d'Alene Police Department tools for situations where people are "mingling" in the structure. Without the changes, law enforcement wouldn't be able to handle those types of situations, she said.

Law enforcement officers have also encountered people sleeping in the garage, using it as a restroom, and dumping their trash.

"We want to be careful not to point a finger at any one segment of the community," Somerton said.

Somerton added that the ordinance would create several new infractions and misdemeanors for the police department to enforce in the garage.

The ordinance was first brought to the council months ago. However, according to interim City Administrator Troy Tymesen, city officials decided to attach the new rules for the parking garage to a revamped parking ordinance.

Tymesen encouraged the commission to look at the proposed revisions and additions to the ordinance and provide their input during the approval process.

University officials said they want to add more businesses to the area.

by Lian Parsons 07 October 2014

The number of businesses has recently increased in the Temple area, with the additions of a Chipotle Mexican Grill at the base of The View at Montgomery, Tropical Smoothie Cafe at Avenue North and a Pizza Hut at 15th Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue.

Adding businesses to the Main Campus area is one small part of Visualize Temple, a university-wide initiative which outlines the master plan for Temples campuses. This long-term plan is a comprehensive overview for the university to build a framework for future growth and renovations.

Theyre services that havent been there before, Rich Rumer, associate vice president for Business Services, said of the new businesses. We work closely with City Council and the community to try and do anything that enhances the campus and, at the same time, enhances the community in which we live.

Senior Vice President for Construction, Facilities and Operations Jim Creedon said Visualize Temple is slowly filling all [Temples] spaces on campus.

New businesses like Chipotle create a certain dynamic at street level, Creedon said.

[They help] with safety and [make] campus more vibrant, he added.

Creedon said Cosi in Pearson-McGonigle Halls is a product of Visualize Temple.

There are also two retail spaces in Montgomery Avenue Garage on 11th Street. One of the two is leased to a private company and will become a Sage Cafe. Creedon said there are plans to add a sportswear store to the second retail space.
