From the end of a hydraulic lift, Dustin Villers helps guide the cross topping First Presbyterian Church up from its steeple Tuesday morning. Surviving the fire which destroyed the original church building in 1930, the more than 130-year-old cross was equipped with neon lighting in order to act as a beacon for ships at sea. Now in a state beyond repair, the old cross will be replaced with a new one when repairs to the church roof are completed this fall.
