Out & About: NAACP mixes hats and attitude for ‘Hattitude’ event
About a minute ago Combine a hat with some attitude and what do you get? Hattitude. That was the name given to a July 20 luncheon hosted by the Greensburg-Jeannette NAACP Religious Affairs Committee at Greater Parkview Church in Greensburg. The serious aspect of the event dealt with attitude, via sermonettes provided by three guest speakers. The Rev. Christine Reed, pastor of Payne Chapel A.M.E. Church in Duquesne, spoke on “Salvation.” Bishop Carl E. Jones Sr., pastor of the host church, delved into “True Worship.” The topic of “Holiness” was tackled by Evangelist Earnestine Moore, first lady and Johnstown district missionary of First Unity Church of God in Jeannette.

Salmon trapped in Canada landslide to be airlifted to safety
Thousands of Canadian salmon are going to be airlifted to safety after getting trapped by a landslide.In June, officials found the rocks had blocked off a section of Fraser River in British Columbia, stopping the salmon from swimming upstream to spawn.Rescuers have spent weeks devising a plan to fly the fish by helicopter to a spot on the other side of the rockfall.Conservationists warn the fish need to be able to lay their eggs, or the local salmon population will be at risk.It is not known exactly how many fish are stuck, but it is believed that only 700 have managed to pass through the area affected by the rock slide without help. Many of Canada's First Nations indigenous peoples rely on the salmon for food and ceremonial purposes.Jonathan Wilkinson, minister for Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard, said the government had been "working around the clock" to help the fish.Officials have not said when the airlifting will begin.How will the rescue work?Crews are now … [Read more...] about Salmon trapped in Canada landslide to be airlifted to safety
