People who live in a public housing hi-rise have filed multiple complaints about mold, claiming the building is making them sick. The 14-story Wilkinson Plaza on West Fifth Street in downtown Dayton has had problems with mold ever since a major water pipe burst on the 6th floor in 2011. At the time the agency that owns the building, Greater Dayton Premier Management, spent nearly $1 million to repair the plumbing and deal with the mold problem.

Still, three years after the original incident, resident Brenda Osborn has claimed the mold continues to cause her multiple health problems.

"I have sinusitis continually, blisters in my mouth and I have lost 99 pounds," Osborn said.

Fellow Wilkinson Plaza resident Stephanie Wallace said she too has had health problems that she traced to mold in her apartment.

"It put me in the hospital for a month," Wallace said. The situation recently drew the attention of Montgomery County Commissioner Dan Foley.

Foley toured the facility at the request of a pastor who has worked on behalf of the residents there. Among the first problems Foley noticed is that residents were using their stoves to heat their apartments. They believe the apartment heaters have mold growing in them and stir up bad air.

"I am not a biologist, but I did not like what I saw," Foley said.

In an effort to obtain verification of the mold problem, the I-Team enlisted the help of an independent testing and remediation company, The Environmental Doctor. Company owner Brenden Gitzinger shipped samples taken from the building to a lab in Virginia. One of the samples obtained from a Wilkinson Plaza apartment tested positive for mold.

"This was identified to be what we call stacci botrus, which is a marker type spore or marker type mold," Gitzinger said.

He added that the concentration level was relatively low, but still enough of a concern that it should be investigated further. After months of complaints from residents, GDPM's Executive Director, Danyelle S.T. Wright, said the agency initiated its own mold testing and expects the results soon.

An architects rendering of what the new Ada First United Methodist Church will look like. Construction on the project is expected to begin on March 17 and continue until February, 2015. Enlarge Published: Tuesday, 2/25/2014 - Updated: 18 hours ago

ADA, Ohio A new Ada First United Methodist Church soon will rise from the ashes where the congregations 113-year-old church burned in 2012.

Two years after a March, 2012, fire destroyed the church at the corner of North Main Street and Highland Avenue, construction will begin on its replacement, a two-story, brick-and-stone building designed with nods to both the past and future.

Weather permitting, work is scheduled to begin March 17 on the new church. A groundbreaking ceremony is planned for noon March 30, and both church and community members are invited. Construction is scheduled to end in February, 2015.

Robert McCurdy, chairman of the churchs building committee, said specific details remain to be worked out, but parishioners would like to worship in the new building by the fires third anniversary.

The decision to rebuild on the same site as the old church, located at one end of the Hardin County villages downtown area, was welcomed by those outside the 300-member congregation as well.

We hear that all the time from townspeople, Oh, Im so happy that the church is going back there, Mr. McCurdy said.

The congregation still needs to raise $300,000 to $400,000 for the $6 million building project, to be paid for with contributions from church members, donations from other churches and supporters, and insurance proceeds.

The 25,000-square-foot building features a second-floor sanctuary that will seat 240 people and a commercial kitchen and fellowship hall on the first floor. Theres also room for childrens ministry and Christian education programs.

OAKDALE (CBS13) A church volunteers death on a nature trail in Oakdale has fellow churchgoers yearning for answers in a suspected homicide.

Juan Calvillos body was found on a trail in a nature area in what deputies are calling a homicide, though they have no motive for the killing.

Construction crews were busy working to transform a church basement into a Sunday school room. But the man who volunteered to lead the project wasnt there.

They realized there was a problem when Calvillo didnt show up for the first day of construction. The last time anyone at the church saw the father of five was during a potluck.

A trio of fishermen made the gruesome discovery days later when they came across his body on a nature trail.

Deputies say Calvillo had been shot to death in a possible murder.

With no motive and no arrest in sight, church leaders are trying to make sense of the loss, and are hopeful closure comes soon.

The church plans on helping with Calvillos funeral.
