View Comments
OPELOUSAS St. Landry Parish teenagers are learning about biofuels, electrolysis and other energy solutions in a way they re likely to remember, building solar panels and conducting electricity through water. And that was just Tuesday.
Middle and high school students are doing experiments like these at Shell Energy Venture Camp this week at Northwest High School. The summer program is the product of a partnership between the local school district, Shell and Central Creativity education center. It s covered through federal COVID-19 relief funding.
On the first day the group made water distillation systems and motorized handheld fans, and they mixed their own energy drink. Some were not fans of the taste.

Georgia Man Catches 6 People Jumping Out of Burning 3-Story Apartment Building
A Georgia man is being hailed as a hero after breaking the fall of at least six people who were jumping from the top floor of a burning apartment complex, catching them with his bare arms. Among those he rescued were a newborn baby and a pregnant woman.
William Cox had just dropped off his son when he noticed smoke billowing out of Fairington Village Apartments in Stonecrest. He realized the building was on fire but didn’t see anyone fleeing the scene.
“I walked down and I don’t see anyone running out of the building,” he told KHOU11 on Dec. 12. “So, I’m screaming, ‘Please, the building is on fire. If you’re in there, get out.’”
