BY DAVID PATCH BLADE STAFF WRITER

When a state contractor made one of the last concrete pours needed to finish a new retaining wall on I-75 near Detroit and Delaware avenues last week, it marked the move toward completion of the last task essential to keeping the freeways reconstruction through downtown Toledo on schedule through the winter.

The projects first phase, which includes rebuilding the two left lanes in each direction, the median wall, and associated drainage, was just 30 percent complete as of Thursday. But the retaining wall on the curve between Detroit and Delaware was the only critical path item remaining on this months schedule, said Theresa Pollick, an Ohio Department of Transportation spokesman in Bowling Green. It is expected that all of the concrete pours will be done by the end of the month.

Its moving along real well, said Mike Gramza, ODOTs district planning and engineering administrator. Shortly into the spring, we will switch [traffic] over to the inside lanes.

Rebuilding I-75 between Dorr Street and I-475 is among several ODOT projects set to continue in the winter.

Along with the Anthony Wayne Bridge rehabilitation, its among the more disruptive to traffic. Reducing I-75 to two lanes each way through has caused chronic backups since work began in July.

So far we are pleased with the work progress on this and all of the projects on the Interstate system, said Todd Audet, ODOTs district deputy director in Bowling Green. We hope the traveling public will remain vigilant and patient traversing the area as some of the project will continue through the winter.

Work planned for the winter includes demolishing the Oakwood Avenue overpass, which will be replaced; pouring concrete footers for overhead signs; hand pours for median-wall concrete at catch basins, and back-fill for the retaining wall. Ms. Pollick said the latter item could be finished yet this week, but most of the work schedule is weather-dependent.

Completing the downtown I-75 projects current phase on time in the spring, Ms. Pollick said, is vital because it affects the traffic pattern for ODOTs next I-75 project: freeway reconstruction and widening between I-475 and I-280.

"Shorty" the camel and handler Morgan Strickland add to the realism Sunday at CrossRoads Baptist Church as hundreds wait to "Walk through Bethlehem."

DAYTONA BEACH The little town of Bethlehem came to life at one Daytona Beach Church that does far more than present a living Nativity.

Some 250 members of the CrossRoads Baptist church including Senior Pastor the Rev. Dan Proctor and his family dress in costume to recreate Bethlehem the night that Jesus was born during the weekend presentation. The Nativity continues again next weekend.

Our purpose is to cause people to remember what Christmas is all about, Proctor said Sunday. It's our gift to the community.

The church started its Walk through Bethlehem in 2003, but changes and expands the production every year, said Shannon Dann, the singles and outreach pastor. Nearly 10,000 people take the walk each year.

Port Orange resident Eileen Kubat returns year after year.

They really do a great job, she said. There are a lot of younger ones (who perform) and it's wonderful to see that they are interested in doing this.

The time travel to the marketplace of Bethlehem covers the Ten Commandments in addition to the birth of Jesus, as the tour guide, John, tries to find a place for visitors from the Beach of Daytona to stay.

Dianna Mellinger and John Horn, snowbirds from Ohio, enjoyed homemade cookies at the end of the tour Sunday.

This is so nice, Mellinger said. This really tells the story about why Jesus was born and why he died.

BEND, Ore. -

About 21 months after an arson spree left part of a downtown Bend church heavily damaged, the congregation held their first Mass Sunday in the renovated building.

Trinity Episcopal Church dates back to 1918 and sits at the south end of downtown. It's recognized by its bright red doors, and for much of the last two years the sounds of construction.

But on Sunday morning, an old familiar sound echoed from the halls of the church. First a bell, then voices in prayer. For the first time since March of 2013, Mass was in session.

"It's the second Sunday of Advent, and we're supposed to be slowing down and waiting," said Colleen McCracken, an eight-year member of Trinity Episcopal. "But I think everyone will be hurrying into the church this morning."

The morning service was one of reflection -- a community still trying to understand why suspected arsonists burned 3,500 square feet of their 96-year old church. No suspects have been identified.

"We're still frustrated about what happened," Senior Warden Peter Lovering said. "But now we're left with an even better church."

Lovering estimates that repairs and renovations cost close to $4 million -- repairs that are still ongoing.

"A few wires hanging around here and there, but we're ready to open our doors," Lovering said. "To have it open again, and to have people worshiping is just a wonderful thing."

The service was led by the Rev. Jed Holdorph, who took over that role at Trinity Episcopal two months ago. He says the renovated church will go hand in hand with new leadership.
