MIRI: Holy Trinity Anglican Church new building project commenced construction after an earth-breaking ceremony at the site yesterday.

The churchs Building committee chairman Pemanca Wilson Siang said the project is scheduled for completion in nine months.

The projects estimated cost is RM1.58 million and so far we have collected some RM700,000 in fund from charity and the government, he said at the ceremony attended by more than 100 peopel in Lambir.

Also present at the earth-breaking ceremony was Lambir assemblyman Ripin Lamat and Archbishop of the Anglican Province of Southeast Asia the Most Rev Datuk Bolly Lapok.

Moreover, Wilson said the new church building project needs to secure another RM700,000 in balance.

He added that initial cost of church construction was RM600,000 but due to more expensive materials, cost has increased including up-to-date facilities to be installed.

The new church capacity is around 500 congregates at one session, compared to currently 200.

Since the past two years, the church committee has been running around raising fund for the construction.

We received several grant allocations from the government through ministers and peoples representatives as well as keen individuals, he said.

Demolition to widen Interstate 95 on Jacksonvilles Southside is feeding a court battle between the state and a hard-pressed church congregation over whats not being torn down.

Glorious Bethlehem Temple, a Pentecostal church near Philips Highway, was slated to be bought and bulldozed by the Florida Department of Transportation along with nearly two dozen houses in an area where a drainage pond was planned for the states Overland Bridge replacement project to rebuild miles of I-95.

After the church balked at the states offer for its 1954-vintage building, saying it couldnt build a replacement church for the $391,070 that was on the table, the state said it would rework the pond and leave the church where it was, ringed by empty, overgrown lots where homes were bulldozed.

So the church is suing, figuring members already spent years planning, buying land and making arrangements to move somewhere with neighbors again.

Its been a long haul, said Donald Richardson, pastor of the 85-member church on Wister Street two lots from the interstate. Its been four long, sometimes grueling years. We didnt come this far to not see this thing all the way through.

The highway project leaves the church isolated, and the state should pay to make up for that, a church lawyer said.

By intention, FDOT means to take the neighborhood, but leave the church, attorney Andrew Prince Brigham wrote when he filed the lawsuit. He argued the state was using a consummate bully tactic to push the church to sell at such a low price it violated the churchs property rights.

A Jacksonville jury should decide that, a judge ruled this month, denying state requests first to dismiss the lawsuit completely, then to move the case to a court in Tallahassee.

While it does not appear often, state courts in and outside of Florida have accepted this cause of action, Circuit Judge Virginia Norton wrote in her ruling, and said the issues at stake should be decided close to home.

A DOT spokesman said his agency isnt trying to bully anyone, and tried to find a solution that would serve the state and the church.

Work to repair the damaged 117-year-old Park United Presbyterian Church in Zelienople could take six months once a construction contract is awarded, said the Rev. Paul Merrill, pastor.

What I understand is that they'll probably have to deconstruct the front wall all the way to the foundation and then build it back up, the pastor said.

Yet things are relatively normal after a runaway dump truck plowed into the church on July 14, he said.

The impact knocked down a large portion of the brick facade on the southwest corner of the building, warped stained-glass windows and scattered rocks and debris into the basement nursery, Merrill said.

Vacation Bible school went on as planned last week, said Amy Gilson, Bible school director, except for changing the location from the damaged church sanctuary to Park Hall, a rear fellowship hall.

The church's two Sunday morning worship services are being conducted in Park Hall as well. The pastor said about 110 people typically show up for the two services.

God is good in the midst of these kinds of things, Merrill said. Everything seems somewhat the same, except in a different building.

The accident forced about 15 food and craft vendors to relocate during Zelienople's Horse Trading Days community festival from July 17-19, said Zelienople-Harmony Chamber of Commerce Director Jennifer Ackerman.

An orange construction fence and chain-link fencing surround the work site, making part of the park beside the church unusable.

We had to cut out about half that area and relocated some crafters, Ackerman said. They usually go right up against the building and use that whole space.

RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) -

Church Hill residents can expect some lane closures as the installation of several traffic circles will begin next Monday.

Alexis Hoeferlin lives at the intersection of Chimborazo Boulevard and Marshall Street.

I've seen people going much over the speed limit, and I consider this a residential area...lot of people on foot. A lot of children around, she said.

That's why she's all for new traffic circles the city is set to install next week, anything to slow down the traffic.

I think it's a great idea. There are a lot of people coming down Marshall and a lot of people who using Church Hill to get to one area to another."

The traffic circles will go up at several intersections...including at Chimborazo and Marshall Street, Chimborazo and N Street, as well as M Street and 27th, 30th and 32nd.

But not everyone is on board

I think this particular intersection doesn't have much need for a traffic circle. I don't see much traffic blockage in this street at all. And one think I like about m street is that there are no stop signs. A traffic circle going in will change that, said Conor Pel-Owen, referring to the intersection of M Street and 32nd.

The city will shut down several roads during construction.

BISCOE The fire in the sanctuary of First Baptist Church in Biscoe Tuesday has been ruled undetermined electrical in nature.

Fire investigators from the State Bureau of Investigation (SBI) and Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms (ATF) made that determination, confirming the initial assessment by the Biscoe Fire Department on Tuesday. A construction project, including wiring for outside lighting, had recently been done in the corner of the sanctuary.

Biscoe Fire Chief Tripp Myrick said the next obstacle was to stabilize the brick walls that are slowly bowing out before they collapse. Biscoe Police have been closely watching the structure for any sign of collapse at night. Fire investigators have been on the scene during the day.

Church members and numerous citizens have also been by to offer condolences and to offer assistance.

Kelly Kellam had immediately offered warehouse storage space for any furniture or other items that were salvageable.

Myrick Construction Inc. crews were successful in removing most of the surviving stained glass windows on Thursday and will finish the delicate task on Friday. These were memorial windows installed when the present church on Main Street was built in 1950.

This was a blow to the town, Commissioner Jimmy Cagle said Wednesday. This church has touched everybody in town at some point in their lives.

First Baptist, under the leadership of the Rev. Larry Wilson and a strong Board of Deacons chaired by Nancy Ruppert, is known for its outreach ministries and diverse congregation.

Wilson, whose health issues have forced him to retire, preached his last sermon on June 29. The Sunday before, half the town had gathered for a retirement dinner and outpouring of love. Larry and Mary Wilson are not leaving Biscoe, just moving from the parsonage to another residence.

The church is not the building. The church is the people, and the people are strong, church members have said repeatedly.
