Church Construction | Comments Off on New Granville construction, tax incentive agreements among top stories of 2019 – The Newark Advocate
Walking into the green campus of the All Saints Church on 1, Hosur Road, Richmond town, Bangalore, which lies at one of the busiest intersections in town, is like stepping into a time machine. Traffic noises fade away, muffled by the leaves and trailing branches of the over 100 trees some over 150 years old that fill the space. A lawn glows green under the sun-dappled shade. The quaint, steeply-gabled, tiled church with rubble stone masonry walls rising just seven feet to meet the roof, the typical arched windows transport you into an earlier century. As you step into the carpeted interiors, the roof, resting on artistically-wrought iron trusses, attracts the eye upwards, the carved teak pews, woodwork, the pipe organ all take us to a time when the world was a calmer, more serene place. The air is filled with birdcalls of dozens of the species, some rare, which live in the precincts. Church records say that the land was gifted by the Maharaja of Mysore, Chamaraja Wodeyar, and later expanded to include space for an orphanage.
It was completed in 1870 by Rev. Samuel Pettigrew who was an important institution builder in Bangalore those days. He was the chaplain at St. Marks Cathedral at the time, and also warden of the Bishop Cotton Boys School. Estimated to cost Rs 10,000, its original design was rejected by the Church Building Society of Madras, as being unsuitable for a church and too small. The present building was then designed by well-known government architect Robert Chisholm, who is famous for pioneering the Indo-Saracenic style of architecture, which incorporates Indo-Islamic decorative and design elements with western styles. But All Saints Church has none of those elements in its design. Two earlier ones submitted by Chisholm were rejected and only the third was accepted. Rev. Pettigrew for his part struggled to collect the funds for its construction. The foundation stone was finally laid down in 1869.

LESS WHITE, LESS MODERN ON LISPENARDCityLand reports that the new building proposed for the corner of Church and Lispenard has been approved by the Landmarks Commission originally for being too white and too modern: At the November 12 public hearing, David Gross of GF55 Architects presented the modified design for the building. In the modified design, the front faades color was toned down and changed from white to limestone. The horizontal bands were replaced with horizontal reveals carved into the building. Gross stated that the framing of the building was changed to have more symmetry and the height of the buildings base was increased to make the building appear wider at the base.
VINOLY BUILDING ON GREENWICH NEARLY COMPLETEWork is almost entirely complete on the reflective curtain wall of 125 Greenwich Street, number 14 in [New York Yimbys] countdown of the tallest projects under construction in New York City. The only sections awaiting faade work are the podium and the portion where the exterior hoist is still mounted.

MOTHER CABRINI COMING TO BPCBecause I cant resist quoting The Tablet, the Brooklyn and Queens Roman Catholic Dioceses newspaper that has been around since 1908: St. Frances Xavier Cabrinis statue will be built in Battery Park City on a spot facing the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, a fitting place for the Italian-American saint, known as the patroness of immigrants. The Dec. 13 announcement from Gov. Andrew Cuomo came months after campaigning by local Catholics for a public monument for Mother Cabrini. The funding and construction of the $750,000 project is being overseen by the Mother Cabrini Memorial Commission, a 19-member committee that includes Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio, John Heyer of the Diocese of Brooklyns Italian apostolate and Joseph Sciame, president of the Sons of Italy Foundation.

Court ReporterBISHOP Tudor Bismarks New Life Covenant Churchs bid to construct a state-of-the-art building on a wetland in Newlands has been thwarted after a civil society organisation, Harare Wetlands Trust (HWT), successfully contested its legality.
The church intended to build the structure along Boundary Road, but residents and environmental rights campaigners objected.
Newlands Residents Association and the HWT opposed the move and sought the intervention of the High Court.
They argued that the structures were being built on a wetland and that the church had not complied with environment regulations.
Justice Webster Chinamora heard the dispute in which New Life Covenant Church, the Harare City Council, the Minister of Local Government and Public Works, the Environmental Management Agency, the Minister of Environment, Climate Tourism and Hospitality and the Upper Manyame Catchment Council were listed as respondents.
He found that the church had not complied with the law after it failed to apply for a permit from Upper Manyame Catchment Council
Justice Chinamora declared the construction of a church by New Life Covenant Church on the wetland as unlawful and ordered the church to stop all developments.
The first respondents ongoing development on Stand 1892 Boundary Road, Harare . . . be and is hereby declared unlawful, said Justice Chinamora.
The first respondent shall immediately cease all developments and remove all machinery on Stand 1892 Boundary Road, Harare.
The church resisted the application insisting it had the necessary permit to proceed with the development.
It also produced a letter written by the local authoritys director of works as the authority upon which it acted.
But after examining the letter, Justice Chinamora formed the view that it was not a permit within the contemplation of Section 24 (1)(d) of the Regional, Town and Country Planning Act.
In their application, the HWT and residents wanted the High Court to issue an order stopping the work and directing the removal of all the construction machinery on site.
Advocate Fadzayi Mahere, who acted for the applicants argued that the church did not obtain the requisite permits for the development of the property in terms of the Regional, Town and Country Planning Act and Section 46(2) of the Water Act.
Government in 2016 partially allowed the church to construct the structures on the site on condition that the structures only covered land of up to 0,8 hectares.
However, the residents argued that the church exceeded the 0,8ha limit in violation of the ministerial directive and they wanted the church to stop the construction.
It was further argued that the stand fell under an area declared to be a wetland and the church should comply with the stipulated pre-conditions to lawfully erect structures.
It was also feared that constructing the church on the wetland would result in irreparable harm to the environment.

February 1, 1936 November 21, 2019
Reverend Kenneth W. Weygandt passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Thursday, November 21, 2019, at Samaritan Evergreen Hospice House in Albany. He slipped into eternity and into the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, eagerly anticipating embracing his son Viktor, grandson Jesse and great granddaughter, Aspen, and all his friends and loved ones who went before.
Ken was born February 1, 1936, in Portland, Oregon, to Henry Pierce and Maude Edith Weygandt. He was the youngest in his family, joining his brother, Glen and sisters, Edna and Thelma (Red). He spent his early years in Aloha and later, in Newport, where he resided until his junior year. The family relocated to White Salmon, Washington, where he graduated from Columbia High School in 1954.
He married the love of his life, Jean Lillian Blake, on June 4, 1955. They pledged their love in a double wedding ceremony with Jeans twin sister, Carol, who married his brother, Glen. Ken and Jean were happily married for 64 years. With God as their guide, they exemplified what a healthy, loving, lifetime commitment should be. Ken loved Jean steadfastly and faithfully all the years of their life together. He was a loving and devoted father and his children never once doubted his love for them. He always said his greatest goals in life were to help ensure the spiritual salvation of his family and to give his wife a happy and comfortable life. He leaves a legacy of loyalty, service, faithfulness, generosity and love of God.
Ken was an avid sportsman throughout his life. He played football in high school as a defensive tackle and offensive guard. Later he played church league softball for several years and he always enjoyed watching baseball, basketball, and football in particular, rooting for both the Ducks and the Beavers. He loved to fish, especially with his sons, and made an art of smoking his catch. He enjoyed the game of golf and played it most of his life. His favorite pastimes included playing cards, board, and dice games with friends and family and as an ardent reader; he always relished a good book. He was very sociable, had a witty sense of humor, and enjoyed engaging in conversation and good-natured debate. In addition, he and Jean loved to travel and were blessed to be able to tour the Holy Land of Israel together. They realized a lifetime dream on their 50th anniversary with a trip to Europe.
Ken worked a variety of jobs in his lifetime. As a young man he worked as a soda jerk," door-to-door salesman, lube mechanic, and in construction, helping to build the Dales Dam. Eventually he settled into the grocery business working for Safeway Stores Inc. for 23 years, finishing that career as the Albany store Produce Manager.
At the age of 46 God called him into full time ministry. He became a licensed, ordained minister in the Assemblies of God. He served as an Associate Pastor at New Life Center, Albany, Oregon, for 10 years. He was blessed to be a part of the team that helped to bring to fruition the dream of starting Teen Challenge of Oregon with the mission of assisting those seeking help to overcome life controlling addictions. Ken and Jean spent a year itinerating all over the state for Teen Challenge of Oregon. Their son, Viktor, joined the team becoming the Mens Director of the Teen Challenge center in Lebanon until his death in 1984.
Eventually, Ken went back to his roots at New Life Center and served as the Senior Ministries Pastor there. He then became the Pastor at the Alsea Assembly of God for several years and then served for five years as the Pastor of the Brownsville, Oregon, Assembly of God church. After his retirement, he was called on to Pastor the historic Brownsville Presbyterian Church until it eventually closed. Following that, Ken and Jean hosted a small church gathering in their home. In addition, Ken served as a mentor, discipleship leader and counselor to many in his retirement years. He especially enjoyed working with the men at Teen Challenge.
We'll send breaking news and news alerts to you as as they happen!
He and Jean served side by side, tirelessly pursuing their love of Jesus Christ in whatever capacity they could, their lives always demonstrating the love of the Lord. Their home was always open to anyone who needed a place to stay and everyone was always welcome at their table. They were never rich, but what they had, they gave away with unmatched generosity. Kens greatest desire was to see people come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Savior and worked toward that goal until his death.
He is survived by his wife, Jean Weygandt of Brownsville; son, Larry (Charlene) Weygandt of Albany; daughter, Deanne Gray (Robert) of Salem; son, Steve (Dateria) Weygandt of Albany; and son, Ken (Christina) Weygandt of Lebanon. Also, his grandchildren: Melissa Stauble, Kelli (Jeff) Millikan, Anthony (Andrea) Gray, Becky (Eric) Nicolarsen, Jade (Andrew) Buckle, Jacob DeLoe, Colton Weygandt and Athena Miller. He was fortunate to see the birth of his great-grandchildren, Adrian and Kaitlyn Gray, Piper Fishell, Evelyn, Isaac and Elijah Gray, Jensina Buckle, and Alana Nicolarsen. He was preceded in death by son, Viktor Weygandt, grandson, Jesse Gray and great granddaughter, Aspen Buckle.
The family wishes to express their deep appreciation to the staff at Samaritan Evergreen Hospice House in Albany for their compassion and kindness during the last days of Kens life.
All are welcome to a memorial service, celebrating the life of this remarkable man at Teen Challenge of Oregon, 31700 Fayetteville Drive, Shedd, Oregon, at 2 p.m. Saturday, December 14. The family requests any contributions in Kens name be to Teen Challenge or The Gideons International.

The Akdamar Church of the Holy Cross Photo Exhibition, organized by the Turkish Presidency Communications Office, met art lovers Monday at the Noho Showrooms in London at 7 p.m. for its next stop following shows in Istanbul Hagia Irene Church and New York.
As an important part and witness of the Anatolian lands that hosted the Phrygian, Hittite, Lydian, Urartu, Armenian, Assyrian, Byzantine, Seljuk and Ottoman civilizations, the eastern Van province is a bridge to ancient ages with its historical and archaeological riches. The Church of the Holy Cross on Akhtamar (Akdamar) Island in Lake Van is among the most brilliant and unique works of medieval Christian art. The church, which was built between 915 and 921, is one of the most important centers of Armenian history and continues to exist today thanks to detailed renovation and restoration works carried out by the Culture and Tourism Ministry.
Research and promotional activities have been carried out to increase awareness regarding the Akdamar Church and to make it known worldwide. In addition to a book containing all the detailed information about the church, architectural drawings and photographs, the most detailed digital work on the church has been compiled on the website of the church at www. akdamarchurch.gov.tr. On the website, available in Turkish, English and German, high-resolution VR videos were shot and 360-degree photographs taken from 14 various points were published for the first time utilizing the most recent technology.
The interior and exterior facades, reliefs and frescoes of the construction were, again for the first time, photographed from eye level and presented online on the website. Also, the magnificent natural view of Akdamar is presented to the website's visitors through zzet Kehribar's camera. The introductory film on the Akdamar Church of the Holy Cross, which was another phase of the introductory project, accurately reflects the magnificent grandeur and unique atmosphere of the church.
The glorious monument of Anatolia has now come to light with the photo exhibit in London. Among the participants of the show are Nikitas Eminence, the archbishop of Great Britain, Orthodox Armenians spiritual leader Degabah Sahak Bishop Masalyan, Turkish Armenian Foundations Union President Bedros irinolu, Polycarpus Augin Aydn, Syriac Ancient Beyolu Church Board Chairman Kenan Grdal, Lolita Asili zzet Kehribar and Terry Katalan.

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - Midtown business owners launched a holiday party at the Living Stones Church parking lot to support local merchants in the middle of so many orange cones.
Owners in the Midtown area, like Jessica Schneider, said they are not letting the construction bring them down.
"I am in survival mode, construction is brutal, its hard, but I will not go under, I will not fail," said Schneider.
The Regional Transportation Commission and Sierra Nevada Construction are working to provide easier access in midtown, enhance safety, and support economic development.
Owner of Junkee Clothing Exchange Jessica Schneider said after 12 years of having her location open, larger sidewalks, bike racks, and more plants are all necessary.
"I knew this was coming, and it had to come. I mean really my grandma in a wheelchair, you cant fit two people on a sidewalk. Yes, its tough, but it had to happen," said Schneider.
While work is being done on the roads, Midtown has been expanding with many new businesses like The Emerson Bar. Owner Tyler Colton said for many new business owners like himself, they are starting to see the long term impact on the project.
"Happening now for a lot of businesses here Im calling it mid-Midtown by Craft and Junkee is that we are becoming landlocked and the only way to access us will be all through back streets, Haskell, Plumas, so we are all a little concerned," said Colton.
Co-owner of Sup Christian Christensen said he wishes project leaders would listen and actually implement more of the ideas of those directly impacted, but he knows the end result is growth for us all.
"Its been long overdue and so we can not wait to see the final product with the big sidewalks, with trees, art, benches everything, its going to be really good for everyone," said Christensen.
Construction crews are sticking to the timelines for each phase. Business owners said while it's not over they want to make sure the support lasts as long as the work continues.

Businesses react to Midtown construction - KOLO
Early last Thursday afternoon, Joan Graciale walked from her nearby home to St. George's Church on Washington Street to ask a demolition crew for one or two bricks from the 127-year-old building.
She said she was married at the church in 1980 and that all her children were baptized there.
"Im sad, very sad," she said. "To see it come down ... it was sad even when they closed the doors. It was like, Well I dont have a church now.'"
Graciale, like other people who once attended St. George's Church in the city's Mount Washington neighborhood, will soon witness the construction of low-income housing where their church stood for more than a century.
St. George's closed its doors 21 years ago. Since then, except for an occasional neighborhood use, the building has sat vacant and fallen into disrepair.
The church closed in 1998 when four Catholic churches in the city consolidated into what is now All Saints Church. Mayor James Fiorentini said he originally hoped to see St. George's the church his own grandparents attended preserved, but "after years of it sitting there inactive ... I became all for this (housing) project."
A local organization stepped forward with a proposal to build low-income housing on the church property. The city approved the project and the church was being demolished last week.
Bread & Roses Housing, a nonprofit based in Lawrence, received a special permit last year to proceed with the project, gaining unanimous approval from the Haverhill City Council.
Yesenia Gil, executive director of Bread & Roses Housing, said that due to funding, logistical concerns, management and other considerations, her organization revised its plan and is building three duplexes and one single-family home on the church property, rather than two larger buildings.
She said the changes reduced construction costs from nearly $3 million to about $1.5 million, will make the properties easier to build and manage, reduce density, boost quality of life for the homeowners, and increase open space on the site. The units will still feature off-street parking and fenced-in yard space, she said.
The project earned enthusiastic support from city councilors, the mayor, the planning director and community groups, including the Mount Washington Alliance and Urban Kindness. Everyone who endorsed the project was happy with its two-birds-with-one-stone approach of both removing the abandoned church, which has become a neighborhood blight, and bringing home ownership to the area, which has struggled with absentee landlords and crime in recent years.
Gil said foundations for the project are expected to be poured following demolition of the church, with construction of the first two duplexes taking place over the winter, followed by construction of a third duplex and the single-family home in the spring.
"I hope it sets a standard and serves as a catalyst for additional housing opportunities for the residents of Mount Washington," City Councilor Joseph Bevilacqua said.
The nonprofitBread & Rosesaims to get low-income families into home-ownership by providing newly-renovated or newly-built homes to very low-income, first-time home-buyers at a reduced rate. The goal is to offer those families the benefits that come with being a homeowner and to help them become financially stable.
Bread & Roses maintains ownership of the land through a community land trust, so that more low-income families can move in if the residents who settle there first decide to move. It's also stipulated that the homes must remain owner-occupied and cannot be rented.
Gil said the first homeowners are expected to move into the buildings next summer.
"We've developed units in North Andover and Lawrence,'' she said, "and we're now expanding into Haverhill.''
