As we honor our servicemen and women who gave their lives in battle for our freedom, meet a World War II veteran who had revenge in his heart for the more than 2,400 Americans killed at Pearl Harbor.

And now, almost eight decades later, Lundy Cavender has also survived something else.

«I can’t tell you how I got there, but I was down there,» Lundy says, pointing to the floor next to his bed, where he wound up when a massive tornado slammed Ruston in the middle of the night one month ago.

«Sounded like a freight train hit this house,» Lunday described.

His home of 58 years was right in the path. He’s got bad roof damage. That also means mold hsa formed inside. The home needs heavy repairs upstairs. But Lundy just took it in stride.

«This wasn’t very scary here. You want me to tell you something scary?»

Lundy went into a tale about rough seas he encountered while in the Navy.

He also described his role on the target of a gun crew on a battleship in World War II. The USS Louisville was part of an armada of 800 ships that first set out for Saipan on June 6, 1944. They would attack the Japanese on a series of Pacific islands.

Lundy was a radioman, relaying messages from men on the beach calling in the location needed for fire from his ship’s big guns.

«That was my job. I directed the gunfire,» Lundy says. «We didn’t hesitate. We didn’t hesitate about killing them. We killed them by the hundreds.

«‘That’s for the Americans you killed at Pearl Harbor,’ Lundy remembers he and the crew feeling. «We had a grudge against them.»

Lundy endured 69 straight days and nights of shelling of the enemy, as U.S. forces took island after island, and Lundy racked up ten battle stars.

Now pushing age 99, Lundy’s handled being a tornado survivor just like he did that chaotic war duty — no fear.

«It didn’t worry me. It didn’t worry you. You did your job,» he says.

Lundy was called back into action during the Korean War. Then he had a career with chambers of commerce in Helena, Arkansas, Shreveport, and finally Ruston.

A Lacombe family is homeless after a mold contamination in their rental house has robbed them of their home and the majority of their possessions.

The Poelzers — Lili, Mike, four-year-old Clifford, two-year-old Stockton and seven-month Theodor (Teddy) — moved to Lacombe in May 2018 in order to save money for a new home — a goal which was difficult in their previous Lower Mainland home.

In January 2019, the Poelzers began to notice several health issues, particularly with Teddy who was diagnosed at the time with pneumonia, which ended up lasting for months. Teddy was also tested for cystic fibrosis, asthma allergies and other conditions.

Concurrently, the family also noticed a mold smell coming from their bathroom on the main floor. Lili requested a mold test from their landlord who, according to Lili, indicated that (they) would reimburse them for the test which can be ordered online.

Due to Teddy’s health problems, Lili didn’t order the test in January, but by March, Mike noticed that his bedroom closet upstairs was covered in mold.

“We sent the landlord pictures and told (them) we will have to find a new place to live,” Lili said. “(They) wanted to remediate it without testing it.”

Eventually, the landlord came to do an air test on May 2 according to Lili, and at the same time requested that rent be paid until the end of June since one month’s notice would have had to come on May 1.

“(They) didn’t say sorry this is happening to your son — (they) just wanted to know when we are paying rent,” Lili said. “(They) told us that if we don’t pay up until the end of June, we would be breaking the law because we are supposed to give one month’s notice.

“I bit my tongue, paid the rent and had the public health inspector come in.”

A letter to the Poelzers from Bob More, the AHS public health inspector who came in, indicated in his report that:

1. There is no smoke alarm in the upper level.
2. There is water damage and mould growth on the north and east walls and ceiling in the closet in the upper level northeast bedroom.
3. Outside light is visible through the north wall of the foundation in the basement.
4. There are bricks falling away from the south wall of the foundation in the basement and a support beam is sloping down from the front of the premise to the rear.
5. The outside frame of the dining area window (north side) is rotting due to water damage.
6. Fungal air testing indicates that there are above acceptable levels of Aspergillus/Penicillium spores in the main floor bathroom, upper floor closet (northeast bedroom), upper floor hall and the basement. There are above acceptable levels of Cladosporium spores in the basement.

More added the house, “Cannot be occupied by new tenants until such time as the above noted conditions have been rectified.”

A similiar letter stating the above guidelines was also sent to the homeowner, according to AHS communications. At this time, there has been no Executive Officer’s Order from AHS to condemn the home.

Lili said they did not recieve the results of the air test until May 9. By then, the Poelzers had already moved into a hotel — a fact the landlord was not aware of.

Lili said she was upset that the landlord had thought they were living in the house knowing that some of the mold levels were above the safe level.

“(They) knew we were having problems,” she said. “(They) didn’t know we were living in a hotel and (they) allowed us to live in the house while knowing the numbers. I find that disgusting that another human being would do that.

“If (they) hadn’t withheld the results, I would have let it go.”

The Poelzers have since moved into a friend’s home until they can move into a new rental, which will be considerably more expensive, although Lili said their health is worth the extra cost.

The new place will be without most of their possessions due to the fact insurance does not cover “gross neglect”, according to Lili.

“The remediator said most homes contents are around the $110,000 mark to replace everything,” Lili said. “To clean it all is $45,000, and that doesn’t guarantee it will clean everything. Our beds and couches are gone, the hotel costs are on us and all of the other additional costs are on us. We have depleted our savings and the money my stepfather gave us for a down-payment is gone. Our rent is going up exorbitantly in our new place, but it is worth it because we will be safe.

“We have to find a lawyer who will work on contingency because our only recourse is to sue (them).”

Beyond the monetary costs of the ordeal, Lili said the physical, emotional and mental costs of the situation have been high for her family.

Physically, Teddy’s breathing problems have led to nights in the emergency room and two-year-old Stockton has dealt with behavioural issues that Lili and Mike thought was autism symptoms, but have mostly corrected since they moved out of the house.

The mold test to connect Teddy’s heath issues is invasive, according to Lili, and was deemed unethical by a doctor to do once his symptoms improved.

“The doctor team said they can’t conclude it was mold, but given the levels of the house, the testing and the fact he improved once out of the environment — it was likely to assume it was mold,” she said.

Lili’s home business as a seamstress has also been affected negatively.

“It is the busiest time of the year for us with grad season,” she said. “I was only able to complete a couple dresses before all of this happened. All of my supplies are gone.

“I start at the Lacombe Wednesday Market, but I have nothing to sell. I am liable for anyone’s stuff I have.”

Lili added their oldest son Clifford is crying himself to sleep.

“He doesn’t have a house to go to, he has to lose all of his toys and he doesn’t understand why. There is something in the house that makes us sick and he doesn’t understand why,” Lili said.

The Poelzers are grateful they have managed to stay together through it all.

“This could have broken up a lot of people and we really thankful that hasn’t happened,” Lili said.

Lili and Mike hope that by going public, this won’t happen to someone else.

“Since telling this story, we have heard from people living in moldy homes. They get out and they are better. It isn’t on record because no one thinks it is a problem,” she said. “People have died from this — being exposed to the type of mold that we have been exposed to.”

Mike added, “We want people to know to take it seriously and if you have a mold problem — get it remediated professionally. Don’t do it yourself because that is obviously what has happened in this house.”

There is currently a gofundme page for the Poelzers which has so far raised $2,725 towards a goal of $75,000 to help the family continue to deal with ongoing issue.

The family is thankful for the community support.

“It has been our saving grace. If we didn’t have that, we would be bankrupt with nothing,” he said.

Going forward, it is unclear what the long-term results will be.

“The doctors say we should be alright, but some of the molds in the house are carcinogenic. We could develop cancer in 10 year — who knows,” Poelzer said.

The Lacombe Express is working to track down the owner of the residence for comment. The name of the owner and address of the home will not be released before that contact is made.

The mold setup procedure is an unavoidable part of injection molding. During this process, the molding machine is shut down for a period of time while the mold is changed. Sometimes, however, setups are mismanaged and, as a result, machines sit idle for far longer than they have to.

What’s more, an inferior setup can lead to sluggish cycles, high scrap rates, tool damage, flawed parts, rework, an unsteady process, and delayed product delivery. Shops could even erase their entire profit margin on the job as a result of a flubbed mold change procedure.

So how do you avoid all these potential fiascos? According to an article published in Plastics Technology, the answer lies in focusing on refining the mold setup procedure, instead of doing it perfunctorily.  Ready to take the next steps? Use this checklist to help you steer clear of common mold setup mistakes while also perfecting the injection molding setup procedure.

Reduce idling during the pre-stages of the injection mold change procedure

Instead of waiting for the molding machine to finish its current run, let the changeover crew perform some of its duties while the press is still in production. Specifically, the crew should be setting up the next mold while the press is still working on the previous mold.  

A mold change cart is especially handy for this purpose. It should hold all of the tools that the team is going to need for removing the previous mold and setting up the new one, including torque wrenches, impact wrenches, mold clamps and bolts, nozzles, cleaners, etc. A crew member should have a mental injection molding machine startup checklist memorized to help ensure all the necessary tools are in the cart.

The crew should also schedule and stage injection molding materials before the molding machine completes its last cycle. Neglecting to do this could cause a press to stay inactive for a much longer period than all the steps in the mold change procedure combined. For example, many materials need to be pre-dried for two to six hours before processing. Prepping materials alone can help cut changeover time dramatically.

Fast track the injection molding machine startup procedure by clearly labeling and organizing mold inventory

Molders can avoid wasting time on locating and retrieving molds by organizing storage. First, they should store and inventory molds so that they are easy to find. Second, they should make sure that they position the storage close to the press for quick and easy retrieval.

Injection molding manufacturers should utilize a mold storage rack that stands adjacent to the press. On the rack’s shelves, clearly numbered molds should be assigned specific spots on specific racks. Organize the molds strategically; for example, place the most frequently used molds in the most accessible areas.

Create a standard injection molding setup procedure.

Without an established process for changing molds, manufacturers may prolong the setup process as well as introduce other inefficiencies into their operations. In order to eliminate the possibility of missteps, it can be helpful to create a set of guidelines that detail the proper tools and techniques for the injection molding setup procedure.

These guidelines can help production supervisors ensure that each scheduled mold setup is performed on time. In addition, they can allow personnel to evaluate and analyze every changeover and pinpoint areas for improvement.

Train more people to handle the mold setup procedure

Mold setups can also take longer simply because not enough people in the shop know how to conduct a mold changeover. Even small molding shops sometimes have several machines simultaneously requiring a changeover, yet many molders continue to have only one or two changeover specialists.

To prevent situations in which presses are staying idle because specialists are too busy to get to them, shops should train press operators to perform mold changeovers. By increasing the number of employees who can handle this process, it allows mold setup procedures to be performed more regularly and with greater speed, as press operators will be able to assist in all steps of the process.

In some cases, creating teams of two operators can be particularly effective, regardless of the size of the press. With a two-person team, each team member can have predetermined duties and work on each side of the molding machine.

Consistent communication is crucial, especially with injection mold setup procedures

Production schedules can be unpredictable, and can leave molders rushing to figure out last minute details right before the press has to be set up. To avoid a stressful or chaotic situation, molders should hold production meetings every day.

Cross-functional teams can convene daily to review the schedule, talk about concerns, and evaluate priorities and resources. These constant discussions help to pre-empt and reduce unexpected problems throughout the operation, including mold setup procedures. Moreover, these meetings allow for the exchange of ideas, which paves the way for process improvements.

Maintain equipment to prevent injection molding machine downtime

Some molders make the mistake of neglecting equipment maintenance, an oversight which can lead to a wide range of equipment problems, including busted ejector pins, damaged bolt holes on platens, or threadbare check rings. All of these issues in particular could protract the mold setup procedure, and ultimately depreciate your bottom line.

Lessons Learned

It’s time to take the checklist to the shop floor, and put these tips to good use. By sticking to this injection mold setup checklist, companies will be more able to execute many changeovers for both larger and smaller presses.

Nearly overnight, dozens of handmade “asparagus” signs have appeared outside farm stands along Franklin County streets, a sure sign the growing season is upon us. However, this year, the growing season, which begins with asparagus, took its time to arrive due to an unseasonably wet, cold spring.

The slow start is not an anomaly, but the result of increasingly erratic weather caused by global warming. As the climate becomes less predictable, with heavier rainstorms and periods of drought, growing seasons and weather patterns that farmers have come to rely on remain up in the air.

Helena Farrell, land use and natural resources planner at the Franklin Regional Council of Governments, said that an increasingly unpredictable climate can have a negative impact on farmers. The region’s “shoulder seasons” of spring and fall are becoming less distinct, with the climate jumping from “extreme cold to extreme heat,” she said, making it more difficult to grow crops.

“The more unpredictable the season is, the harder it is to have a successful harvest,” Farrell said. “Not knowing makes it really difficult.”

Excessive precipitation can harm crops in a number of ways, Farrell said. For example, heavy rain can drown plants, depriving them of oxygen. Extreme weather can also damage soil and cause mold, fungus or disease to grow, she said.

At Upinngil Farm (located up in Gill, not by coincidence), Clifford Hatch said asparagus, a popular crop in Franklin County, arrived about a week late this year due to a colder, wetter spring season.

The late start to the season simply meant “the customers had to wait” to buy asparagus, he said, which Upinngil offers at its farm stand. The farm stand sells out asparagus “every day,” he said. The asparagus season is fairly short, ending in about a week.

“Asparagus is really popular in this area. We never seem to grow enough,” Hatch said.

Hatch said asparagus can be especially susceptible to weeds and disease because it is a perennial.

“It craves the water, but it can’t be sitting in it,” Hatch said.

The cold, wet start to the growing season did not only affect asparagus, Hatch said, but all his crops this year, including potatoes, melons and more.

“The cold, wet spring? It stinks,” Hatch said. “It’s just been too wet to be able to plant. You can’t go on your land when it’s nothing but mud. It ruins the soil.”

As a result of the delay, Hatch said right now he and his half-dozen workers “have to hustle.”

“We don’t have so long, so we have a lot of chores to get done,” Hatch said.

Over in Charlemont, Wilder Brook Farm’s asparagus patch also arrived a week late this year, co-owner John Hoffman said.

Hoffman said he has seen first-hand how climate change has impacted his farm. For example, he is noticing that the frost is coming several weeks later in the fall. And this spring, Hoffman used an extra half-tank of fuel to heat the greenhouse.

To mitigate the effects of global warming, Hoffman and co-owner Kate Stevens have already made some adjustments to their practices. For instance, they have improved their field’s drainage systems, and intend to “do more around irrigation” to mitigate heavy rains and ward off weeds and mold.

“Where it’s going to be problematic, I think potentially is around rain,” Hoffman said. “What we want, what we need, is interspersed rain. To get four inches of rain one week that doesn’t mean that – OK, now I’m good for the next four weeks. No, you have to get it the next week.”

The warmer weather has also led to the introduction of new insects. Hoffman said he has seen a new fly that lays eggs in blueberries and can ruin the crop.

To combat unpredictable weather, some farmers are using shelters like green or hoop houses to shield their crops. Daniel Botkin, the owner of Laughing Dog Farm in Gill, says he is a proponent of “hoop houses,” which consists of a tarp sheltering his gardens and enabling plants to grow for longer periods.

Farrell said erecting shelters like hoop houses is a solution some farmers may consider if they haven’t already, to protect plants from heavy rain or unpredictable cold and warm spells. However, Farrell noted that shelters present their own list of environmental issues, requiring manmade watering and increasing storm-water runoff.

In the northern part of the county, Bernardston farmer Ervin Meluleni of Coyote Hill said his 100-foot asparagus field was similarly late to emerge.

“I usually can have a meal by May 1 and this year it was May 10,” Meluleni said. “It was very cold and wet.”

And while Meluleni grows “just about everything” and is not reliant on asparagus, he said many other plants including apple blossoms arrived late this year.

Meryl LaTronica, farm manager for Greenfield’s Just Roots farm, said her small asparagus patch sprung up a week late as well, among other crops.

“It’s mostly been it’s been tough to get into the fields,” LaTronica said. “The act of getting the farm going, whether it’s tilling the fields, getting the beds going or watching things grow really slowly.

She said the farm’s market offerings will be leaner this week due to the late start to the growing season.

“We’re not even sure what we’re going to bring, really,” LaTronica said.

LaTronica said she thinks about climate change “every day.” Farms cannot count on “normal” growing periods anymore, she said, and need to adjust – though when weather is unpredictable, it’s hard to know how.

“It’s hard to make changes on any broad level,” LaTronica said. “We don’t know how the trends are going to be. We don’t know if it’s going to be hotter or wetter.”

DRIPPING SPRINGS, Texas (KXAN) — All the rain we had earlier this month is still causing problems for many families. 

On May 3, Dripping Springs took in several inches of rain in just a few short hours. Twenty-seven units at the Springs Apartments flooded.  

One family said their home is now covered in mold, and they aren’t getting the help they need from apartment managers — and it’s taking a toll on their family’s health. 

«He’s been wheezing, he’s been coughing,» said Heather Navarro of her two-year-old son Hunter. «There’s times where he can’t catch his breath because the drainage is so bad in his throat that he just gasps for air.»

Navarro said the boy’s symptoms come from the mold in the walls. She claims apartment managers didn’t act quickly enough to keep it from setting in.

Mold exposure can cause respiratory problems like asthma attacks and sinus congestion. Symptoms can also include eye irritation, rashes or hives, headaches and memory loss.  

“You can see how high the water was and all the mold that’s growing on it. We’ve bleached it three times.» 

According to the Austin Tenants Council, a tenant is entitled to have a landlord repair anything that threatens their health or safety. That includes plumbing stoppages, a lack of hot water and leaking roofs or ceilings. 

After flooding, FEMA reports mildew and mold can develop within 24 to 48 hours. It will continue to grow unless something is done to eliminate the source.  

The Navarro family said it took over a week for management to come and cut out a foot of dry wall to inspect the mold damage. Now, management told them they will need to come back and cut out an additional four feet within the next few days. 

«We had crews on site as soon as it was safe to enter the area,” said Justin MacDonald, the president of MacDonald Companies, who owns the complex. 

MacDonald said he’s received several inspection reports which show no signs of mold in the units. The company is working with contractors, insurance carriers and city engineers to help clean up. 

«I think we’ve been doing everything humanly possible to get the damaged sheet rock and wet materials out of those units as fast as we could to stop the growth of mold.»  

Three weeks after the flood, Navarro fears for the future. 

«How much is it going to rain? Is it going to be fixed before it rains like this again?» Navarro asked. «Are they going to fix it in the future so it doesn’t flood again?»

ORLANDO, Fla. — An Orlando man claims his new car had a manufacturer’s defect that triggered mold so bad the vehicle makes him sick.

At first James Cox blamed a scratchy throat on allergies. Then a car detailer found mold blooming inside his trunk’s spare tire well. Spores spread under carpets and the back seat.

“It’s like the air was really thick to breathe,” Cox said.

---

TRENDING NOW:

---

“Was the car making you sick?” Todd Ulrich asked.

“I believe so, yeah,” Cox replied.

A dealership confirmed the third brake light had a slow water leak.

Car expert Jay Zembower told Ulrich that kind of brake light is one of several manufacturer defects that trigger slow water leaks that breed and then feed mold.

“They’re air tight enough to allow this mold to start growing. You wouldn’t know it’s there until the odor starts to happen, by that time it’s occurred and it’s too late,” Zembower said.

Action 9 found three main causes for vehicle mold: Manufacturer defects like brake lights, sun roofs, and convertibles. Cars salvaged from floods are an obvious mold risk and third, the unexpected, car detailing that leaves moisture behind.

“It was left to evaporate but yet was trapped within the vehicle and causes a mold bloom on virtually everything within the car,” said indoor air expert John P. Lapotaire.

Chances are your car insurance won’t cover clean-up and mold remediation.

If it’s a manufacturer’s defect, there’s some coverage.

Still under warranty, Cox said the dealership replaced all the fabric surfaces in the trunk and treated the air with ozone.

Months later he claims the air inside still smells and makes him sick.

“I requested they replace the entire interior and anything with cloth,” Cox said. That didn’t happen.

Experts say serious mold issues contaminate entire vehicles and manufacturer’s generally limit repair coverage, so owners are stuck with sick vehicles.

“You’ve got to remove the rest of the car’s material and replace it,” Lapotaire said.

“You can smell it when you drive it. It’s just not right,” Cox said.

Ulrich contacted General Motors about the brake light failure and mold damage but there was no response.

Experts say if mold is suspected make sure the cabin air filter is changed because too many times it’s missed and that can make a mold problem far worse.

Asheville Mold Abatement has announced that they offer Asheville, NC mold damage cleanup. The company recently discussed the need for these services and why it is important to hire a professional for the job.

A representative for the company says, “Mold is a problem that is found in many homes and unfortunately, it often goes undetected for quite some time. Left untreated, mold can cause a number of serious health issues for anyone in the home.”

The company says that the they offer mold testing in the area that can help to find mold in homes and remove it before it becomes a serious health consequence. They state that the company provides mold testing, mold inspections and mold removal for homes and businesses, and that they can identify the species of the mold and inform the customer of the best way to remove it.

“Mold removal is something that has to be done by a professional,” says The Company Owner. “Someone without the proper equipment could cause much more harm by attempting to remove mold on their own. Releasing mold spores into the air could be very dangerous, and a professional company with experience in mold removal will have the knowledge and the equipment needed to ensure that the mold is not released or spread.”

Mold can begin to grow in homes undetected and is often due to flooding or other issues with water. The Company says that many homes in flood prone areas experience mold growth. Mold can also be the result of water leaks within the home and a number of other instances where moisture is found. The Company says that they strongly recommend that home or business owners do not try to remove the mold themselves.

“If mold is found, it is best to contact a professional to have the home inspected and the mold removed,” says the company. “A professional is going to know how to take a sample of the mold without disturbing it or releasing it into the air.”

The owner states that the company will remove a small section of the mold without disrupting the spores. Technicians will also be able to advice home or business owners on how they can protect anyone in the structure from the mold while they await the results of the testing. The company says that in some cases, the company may recommend closing vents and ducts that lead into and out of the room that contains the mold.

The company states that if a home or business owner detects mold, they should take precautions immediately. These precautions normally consist of closing off the room in question and keeping others out of that room until a professional has arrived to survey the mold damage. The company says that if mold is found growing in more than one room or area in a home or business, they will inspect and provide the home or business owner with a detailed plan for removing all of the mold that is evident.

It is important that home and business owners realize that mold can be very dangerous, the company says, and that it can thrive in a number of places from walls to carpet, upholstery and other areas of the structure. They say that anyone who suspects that they may have mold growing in their home or business should contact the company immediately, without attempting to remove or test them mold themselves.

The company adds that anyone who detects mold should do their research before hiring a company to test or remove that mold. They add that Asheville Disaster Specialists have years of experience in mold testing and remediation and that those who are interested in learning more can visit the company on their website for a list of their services and to get a better idea of their reputation. Those in need of mold testing or removal can contact the company directly to schedule a service.
