ELLWOOD CITY Five members of Boy Scout Troop 806 recently experienced a week of high adventure sailing on the open sea.
The group with three adult leaders circumnavigated St. Thomas on a 40-foot sailing vessel while studying the plants, animals and habitats of the Caribbean Sea.
In June, the eight-day exploration began when they flew to St. Thomas in the U.S. Virgin Islands, where they went hiking in the U.S. Virgin Islands National Park and snorkeling in the Caribbean in conjunction with the University of the Virgin Islands to collect data to help preserve the coral reefs and endangered sea turtles while learning how to protect marine ecosystems.
Two African-American churches that have served their urban Texas community for decades are fighting for survival as the city of Houston has made plans to bulldoze one of the church buildings and condemn the other church's properties in order to clear space for a new urban renewal project.
