Kansas City firefighters rescued two workers overcome by fumes at a church under construction on Tuesday.

Six firefighting units were called to 201 Westport Road at 9:45 a.m. for what was called a "confined space" rescue.

Authorities said that two construction workers were overcome by fumes while they were waterproofing a basement area at Westport Presbyterian Church.

James Garrett of the Kansas City Fire Department said the rescue took a while. He said it was difficult figuring out exactly what the situation was before they could go down and rescue the men.

We had to get our meters down there and check the atmosphere to see exactly what we had and get guys down there with air packs to recover the individuals, Garrett said.

Firefighters lowered equipment down to the two men. They said one of them was up and moving, but the other man was unconscious. Crews were able to lift both men out and got them to a hospital for treatment of respiratory stress. Both men are expected to be OK.

Crews said the workers were using chemicals that contain acetone. They said the men should have been wearing masks, but they were not.

BAY VILLAGE, Ohio - New construction continues on schedule and without issue at St. Raphael Catholic Churchon Dover Center Road. Roofers could be seen applying shingles to the new buildings during warmer temperaturesFriday.

The Phase 2 Expansion Projectreceived Bay Village Planning Commission approval in July 2013 and included plans to build a much larger, fan-shaped worship space to allow for 1,100 pew seats and up to 100 choir members. In addition, large gatherings and funeral luncheons will take place in a new community room.

A capital campaign continues to accumulate pledges toward a nearly attained $7 million goal. Ground was broken last summer, and construction was expected to last up to 15 months. The original altar, stained glass windows and crucifix will be reused in the new sanctuary.

Parishioner and project manager Kris McGivney recently expressed her happiness with the way the project is proceeding.

"Things are going extremely well, and we're very excited about it," McGivney said. "I think one of the highlights was a couple of weeks ago when we let people take a walk through the construction to see where we are. They were all very excited about it, to get a feel for what the new church will look like."

Those March 14 and 15 after-Mass visits enabled parishioners to place decorated stones under the location of the future altar,providing a personal and poignant foundation. People also wrote messages and prayers on the unfinished cement floor.

The Rev. Tim Gareausaid Monday he can't wait for the congregation to become permanently settled in its new home. Before then, he added with a laugh, he will need a new pair of shoes to replace his dust-covered ones due to repeatedly walking daily to and from the construction site.

"There is such living faith here," Gareau said about his parishioners. "People are really on board and excited and enthused. We have such a nice team ... here at St. Raphael. It's the hands and hearts of our people. From the smallest among us to the oldest, we're just all working together as a family to make this happen."

Even priests, he explained, have moments of "fear and trepidation" when faced with a task of this magnitude.

St. Raphael church construction proceeds smoothly in anticipation of August dedication

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) Good Friday was anything but good for a Bronx church involved in an ongoing rent dispute with its landlord.

The Osborne Association, a nonprofit group that helps men and women coming out of jail to reform their lives, owns the building located at 813 Westchester Ave. in the Morrisania section of the borough.

They lease a portion of the bottom floor to the Word of Life Church, which operates a food pantry that feeds hundreds in the community every week.

The organization claims the church is behind on its rent and started the eviction process last week.

We worked for more than a year to resolve ongoing issues of non-payment with our tenant, but ultimately began eviction proceedings, the group said in a statement.

Marshals went to execute the warrant last Wednesday, but the church got an emergency stay order until April 7.

Osobrne said it hadnt received the papers when they noticed the church back in the building on Good Friday, which is when a representative from the group along with the NYPD came to see what was going on.

Rev. John Udo-Okon told 1010 WINS he was conducting Good Friday service when the property manager tried to break down the door with a sledgehammer.

We were having service and we heard this heavy banging on the door and people began running, Udo-Okon said. Children were running and my wife and I ran from the pulpit.

Udo-Okon said the two police officers had their guns drawn.

OTTUMWA, IOWA -- Rain is already causing some delays to another major reconstruction project on Ottumwas south side before it even started.

Church St. was scheduled to be closed from five corners to Ransom St. starting Monday, but the threat of rain caused crews to push the closure back to possibly Monday night.

Once Church St. closes, it will not reopen until full completion in an estimated 10 weeks.

The city will be taking out all of the street and sidewalk to install new water and sewer lines, as well and installing new sidewalks and streetscape designs.

All of this is starting while city is in the middle of another major project on Richmond Ave., just a few blocks away.

There's also a big project going on through the Richmond Ave. corridor, so really that portion of the Southside is very difficult to travel, said Tom Rodgers, Ottumwa Public Information Officer. Drivers do need to be aware of the detours and plan ahead when traveling to avoid delays.

Businesses on Church St. will remain open during the project and access for cars will be available behind the stores.

Anyone with questions about the construction projects is encouraged to contact the Ottumwa City Engineering Department.
