Cutter Morning Star High School
Cutter Morning Star Elementary School
Garland County's First Consolidated Rural School
When a high school student travels about, for what ever reason, conversations usually arise concerning school activities and school. The question always imposed is "What school are you from?" This, when answered by Cutter Morning Star usually leads to the statement "Cutter what?" It is true that our name is rather unusual. Unusual yes, but nonetheless interesting in its origin.
Cutter-Morning Star was consolidated from three schools in 1922. Cutter School, located in the vicinity of Mill Creek Road; Morning Star School, located near the present Morning Star Methodist Church; and High Point School, located near the Missouri Pacific Railroad line ten miles east of the city.
CUTTER SCHOOL, District 21
The school was named for Charles Cutter, a man noted as a prospector, investor, guide, and organizer-leader. Mr. Cutter and his brother, John Cutter, published the world famous "Cutter Guide". Having heard of the amazing therapeutic hot springs, he ventured to Hot Springs, Arkansas from Missouri. Cutter came to the area in the late 1800's, fell in love with the area and homesteaded in the Mill Creek Valley area. Not only did he bring his family, but he also encouraged others to follow.
It was in the Mill Creek area that Charles Cutter began to organize and encourage a group of citizens to form a school. Under his leadership the group succeeded in forming a school. He donated the land for the school and his grateful neighbors placed his name upon the school. Hence, the birth of Cutter School District No. 21.
MORNING STAR SCHOOL, District 47
Morning Star School, a one-room school, was located five miles east of Hot Springs, just south of the Morning Star Methodist Church on land donated to the school by John Echols. While Morning Star was normally a one-room school, one year a partition was placed inside the building and two teachers taught students.
High Point School in District 47 was located two miles west of the High Point Railroad Station on the Missouri Pacific Iron Mountain Rail Line approximately 10 miles east of Hot Springs on Highway 88 East. The school was a one-room structure that was never painted, had no well and no "out-houses". Around one-half dozen families in the East and Northeast section of the district were served by High Point School
With Hot Springs High being the only high school in Garland County, until 1925-26, to get a high school education the children living in the rural areas surrounding Hot Springs had to either walk, ride horses, bicycles, or ride in wagons several miles to school. There were no buses or public transportation. Besides having to get there, special arrangements had to be made for them to attend.
Fred E. Johnson decided he would try to get this school dilemma changed. He canvassed both the Cutter district and the Morning Star District with a petition for consolidation of the two schools so that education through the twelfth grade could be offered to the children of the two districts. He secured a total of 35 names on his petition.
Upon receiving this petition the Garland County School Board decided to authorize an election to determine whether a new Rural Special District would be formed from the two school districts. The election was held on Tuesday, October 31, 1922 at the store of T.W. Hughes on the old Benton Road, now Highway 88 East. Consolidation was approved by a vote of 32 for and 10 against. This gave birth to the FIRST RURAL CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL SYSTEM in Garland County, born October 31, 1922. The district was given the number "21" and the name CUTTER-MORNING STAR.
The three original schools continue to be operated by the newly formed district until the erection of the new school. The Board of Directors purchased ten acres on February 9, 1924 to begin building the new school. The 1925-26 school year was the first year the new Cutter-Morning Star School building was used. The first school buses in Garland County were purchased by Cutter-Morning Star September 28,1925.

Have I mentioned that my daughter figure skates? Here is her dress for this season's competitions. We had it custom made. I just love it.
They're hard to see, but there are hundreds of sparkly crystals throughout the front and back of the dress, and on the straps. The flowers are all hand painted.
The meeting went really well. Phil and Laura are about as opposite of Carly and Ben as can be. They listen more than they talk, they're quiet, formal and reserved. Don't get me wrong, they're not stuffy or boring. They seem really loving and warm. Just quiet. I really liked them. Allen did too.
We had a great brunch in the hotel dining room. We met at 11am and went our seperate ways around 2pm. We decided at the end of brunch that we were a good match. We shook hands when we met, we hugged by the time we left. I think that pretty much sums it up.


The DPA d:dicate 4015A is wide cardioid pick-up condenser mic that delivers the same clear, neutral and honest sound as the DPA 4011A, but is designed to combine the features of both an omni-directional and cardioid mic.
When close miking certain dynamic instruments that produce varying tones from different positions, a cardioid mic can sometimes be too focused to pick up every element. A wide cardioid (hemispheric) mic expands the capsules field of view to encompass a wider pick up angle, but retains the rear rejection and sound separation that omni capsules lack.

Prominent High Street location in the heart of Riverstown.
: Conerney Riverstown estate agents listing the best property for sale and to rent in or around Riverstown. Talk to us now about selling and letting your home or search for properties with Conerney Riverstown Estate Agents.
This may seem an obvious location to start, but ask friends, relative and colleagues who have actually just recently moved which estate agents they utilized and exactly what they thought of them.
Likewise search in your area at the "for sale" and "sold" signs; it's an useful indicator of the agents that work well in your area.
Visit your shortlisted estate agents as a possible buyer searching for a property like your home. Focus on how they behave and ask yourself 2 concerns:.
When your house is valued it's important not to be too amazed by the agent that values your home the greatest– this might be a tactic to win your service.
Preferably, you need an agent who is going to be honest and reasonable, not one who is going to miscalculate your property and after that fail to get a purchaser at that rate.
What does it cost? does the agent charge for sole agency and exactly what is the tie-in period? Sole agency is where one agent has the special right to offer your home or business for a set duration. If your home or business is offered by another agent in this time you will still need to pay the sole agent their fee, along with the agent who actually offered it. As a rule, fees for sole agency can range in between 1% and 2% of the sale price, with a tie-in period of approximately 8 weeks.
How much does the agent charge for multi-agency? A multi-agency plan suggests numerous agents will have your home or business on their books, with the successful agency being given the cost. Typically speaking, this fee will be in the area of 1.5% to 2.5% of the list price.
How will your property be advertised? Will it appear in the local paper? On a residential or commercial property site such as Rightmove? Is the agency able to reveal examples of how they market properties?
Who will take care of watchings? Will the estate agent be present at all watchings? Examine as to whether they will be readily available during evenings and weekends.
Sole agency is more affordable, but the net isn't cast as broad and there may be less chance of a fast sale. Multi-agency expenses more, but implies that your house will get more direct exposure, which increases the prospect of a quick sale.
You might decide to start with a sole agency, relocating to multi-agency at the end of the tie-in period. Or you might choose to jump straight in with multi-agency.
Make certain you're happy with all the small print prior to signing anything. Do not be afraid to question things you don't understand or do not concur with.
Likewise request feedback from the agent. If you've not had watchings, or have actually had watchings however no offers, the agent can provide insight. It could be you're priced too high, or that there's a location of the residential or commercial property that might be beautified to encourage a sale.

Every decade or so, a new technology hits the market with such a fundamental impact that it challenges existing assumptions and turns the status quo upside down. Cloud was such a technology, and 10 years in it has fundamentally changed the way IT functions are delivered to enterprises and small businesses. Container technology is one of the most recent innovations that is making a splash in the IT sector. With the advent of containers and the rapid adoption of Docker, the virtualization space is once again an exciting segment for innovation, exploration, and reinvention.
Mass-scale adoption of containers is still in its infancy and there remains many unanswered questions. But many of us in the security field, including the entire Twistlock team, believe that containers bring unprecedented opportunities for security. Not threats, but opportunities.
We see a future where containers foster security innovations, and security in turn accelerates container adoption. We are confident that through our work and the work of many others in the industry, we can help organizations improve their overall security postures via the systematic re-engineering of security delivery into the IT stack.
Getting this right, however, requires engagement with the broad industry. That is why Twistlock, together with Google and Intel, is organizing a container security summit, providing a forum for different entities to come together and debate/discuss the most pressing container security challenges and research priorities.
Today, January 26th, we welcome 70 of our industry colleagues, including practitioners, solution providers, and researchers to Burlingame, CA where we will hold this discussion-oriented, vendor-neutral summit.
Our speakers' roster includes many industry heavy hitters. Our opening keynote of the day is Bo Boghosian, Sr. Software Engineer & Kubernetes Lead from Niantic Labs. Bo will discuss how a tiny team at Niantic leveraged containers and successfully scaled to meet the demands of the smash hit game.
Throughout the day, we will hear from Alex Mohr, Staff Engineer for Kubernetes from Google, Nathan McCauley, Security lead at Docker, and David Strauss, CTO at Pantheon, whose talk last time earned high remarks from the audience. We will also be hearing from DevOps innovators like Mason Jones from Credit Karma, Loris Degioanni, Founder & CEO at Sysdig, and Mrunal Patel, Principal Software Engineer from Red Hat.
Twistlock CTO, John Morello, will deliver a talk at the container security summit. John will focus on intent-based security, a runtime security innovation from Twistlock and how that can help users improve runtime security without the overhead of managing burdensome security policies.
Our close keynote of the day is Bryan Pane from Netflix. Bryan is the engineering manager, Product & Application security at Netflix. He will discuss how security has been a first design principle at Netflix as they created their internal container service. What they learned in creating that service and how they handled container security from threat modeling to isolation and identity.
To learn more about the discussions at the summit, follow the Twistlock Twitter handle @twistlockteam. We'll be live-tweeting the event throughout the day. We will also be publishing a recap of the event, summarizing the top discussion points and research challenges put forth by the speakers and the participants.


With every case you will get personal attention to your matter by a prompt, efficient, and courteous professional.
Our mission is to offer the best in customer service, to help our clients achieve their goals. We believe in building close working relationships with each and every client, focusing on the singular needs of each case.
City Process Servers has been around since 2011, so we really mean it when we say we're here to help you.

Aaron Ramsey has been ruled out of Wales' friendly against Trinidad and Tobago on Wednesday with a thigh injury.
The Arsenal midfielder was not in training on Tuesday, but will recover in time for Sunday's European Qualifier against Slovakia in Cardiff.
Tom Lawrence, Sam Vokes and Ethan Ampadu were other notable absentees from Tuesday's training session at Manchester United's Carrington complex.
Wales manager Ryan Giggs revealed they had not met up with the squad due to injury and will not be available for the friendly against Trinidad and Tobago, or the opening European qualifier against Slovakia.
He told a news conference on Tuesday: "Aaron's just got a slight knock to his thigh and we are monitoring that this week, but he should be OK for the weekend.
"Tom Lawrence, Sam Vokes and Ethan Ampadu all haven't met up with the squad. They've all got different injuries.
"Ethan's got a slight back strain. Tom Lawrence, I was at [Derby vs Stoke], he took a blow to his other ankle. He had been struggling with one ankle and then got a knock on the other ankle.
"Vokesy has been struggling with a groin problem. He played 70 minutes and then just felt it again. The three of them are all unavailable."

Last Saturday, a destructive earthquake struck China's Sichuan province, near the epicenter of the devastating 2008 earthquake, damaging thousands of structures and triggering landslides in the mountainous region. As of yesterday, the death toll stood at more than 200, with nearly 12,000 injured, 23 still missing, and tens of thousands made homeless. The quake was measured at magnitude 7.0 by China's earthquake administration and magnitude of 6.6 by the U.S. Geological Survey. Rescue teams and government aid personnel have struggled to reach the affected area, as many roads were damaged.


Decadent Hot Chocolate. It's a cold and frigid winter day here in Virginia. And a perfect day to make a mug of my Decadent Hot Chocolate! Earlier this week brought a few inches of snow, and today has brought temperatures in the single digits. It was five degrees when I woke up this morning with a chill factor of -2 degrees. So, let's get started on that hot chocolate!
History shows that hot chocolate was originally developed by the Mayans. The Europeans took the Mayans' "drinking chocolate" and turned it into a hot chocolate beverage that is common today. I was first exposed to "European" hot chocolate when my father was stationed in Germany when I was a teenager. I was a junior high school student in an American school on a joint forces base in Ramstein, Germany. Obviously, it was to my benefit to take German language class in school. My German teacher was Frau Suffel. She was a stout German woman who had a wonderful sense of humor.
A local private German secondary school, called a Realschule had a program to "swap" German and American students for a two-week period. I was selected as one of the American kids to attend the Realschule event. At the time, I really didn't know anyone in the American school because I was new to the area. After those two weeks, I not only had a number of new American friends, but also some new German friends as well! During the two-week Realschule visit, we took a few day trips. We hiked around the gorgeous countryside, stopping to eat lunch at German restaurants, shop in quaint German boutiques, and, of course, practice our German language skills.
Each morning, I looked forward to their breakfasts before we went to class or headed out on hikes. Because this school was private, the students were boarded in a dorm-like situation with three meals provided each day. The school's kitchen served European hot chocolate which is very chocolatey and not overly sweet unlike the overly sugared American version. One taste and I was hooked. Also, the fresh bread called "Brotchen" was served with sweet butter and apricot preserves.
To this day, hot chocolate and fresh bread topped with butter and apricot jam is likely my favorite breakfast besides the Duck Confit Eggs Benedict at Le Cochon Dingue in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada. Quebec restaurants serve European style hot chocolate. Duck confit Eggs Benedict along with a cup of European hot chocolate is just plain heaven.
I've finally been able to replicate the taste of that hot chocolate at the Realschule from years ago. In keeping with our Eating Healthier plans, I don't drink hot chocolate very often at home. When I do, it's this one. Chocolate is made from cacao beans from the cacao tree!
My favorite chocolate to use in my decadent hot chocolate is made by Cote d'Or. It's a dark chocolate bar with 70% cacao or cocoa beans. This chocolate bar is tasty on its own yet makes outstanding hot chocolate.
Just heat some milk and cream in a sauce pan over low heat. Add some of the chopped chocolate bar and some vanilla extract and whisk until the chocolate is melted.
Sweeten to taste with sugar. Pour into a mug, garnish with some optional whipped cream and chocolate shavings, and enjoy!
Warm the milk and cream in a small saucepan over low heat, being careful not to boil the mixture. Whisk in the chopped chocolate, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the chocolate is melted and the sugar has dissolved and the hot chocolate is hot and frothy. Serve in a mug with an optional dollop of whipped cream and some chocolate shavings or sprinkles.
Makes one cup of chocolate goodness.
Variations: Add a dash of peppermint extract instead of using the vanilla extract. Use your favorite chocolate. The sweeter the chocolate, the less sugar you need to add, depending on your taste. You can use whole milk, or 2% or 1% milk. Whatever you prefer. And you can omit the whipping cream and just add more milk or add some half-and-half for richness. Use almond milk for a different flavor. Try a Mexican chocolate for a spicier version.
You can make and serve your hot chocolate in this hot chocolate pot and frother!

How on earth could three distinctly different people possibly, not only share the same birth certificate, but also sign ONE ONLY affidavit with ONE SINGLE SIGNATURE ?
How on earth could three (3) distinctly different persons ALL claiming to be the one and the same person and allegedly having the same exact name of "Kenneth George Shadie" - as well as ALL claiming that all three (3) distinctly different persons allegedly reside at the same residential address ? Do they share the same wife and family as well ?
Funny how people always want to associate themselves with "Crocodile Dundee" and not with other films or TV series in the writing of which they were involved in the past.
Why not pose with a poster of the vintage "Mavis Bramston Show" or with a poster of "Number 96" instead ? Isn't it more than evident that the style of humour portrayed in "Crocodile Dundee" is totally different from the style of humour portrayed collectively in the vintage "Mavis Bramston Show" & in ALL vintage Paul Hogan Show skits, including : "Luigi the Unbelievable" and "Leo Wanker" ?
Isn't it more than evident that the style of humour portrayed in "Crocodile Dundee in L.A." is more consistent with the style of humour portrayed in the vintage episodes of the "Paul Hogan Show" ?
Why is it that the people who claim to have added "improvements" (in a bid to supposedly enhance the artistic quality already in existence in the original story already in original screenplay form for the film "Crocodile Dundee" - and which original screenplay had been devised by the same person who had created the original story for the said film, DID NOT (and still won't) add "similar improvements" to their own original work and convert their vintage material into instant commercial successes similar to "Crocodile Dundee" ?
Assuming that the artistic talents of these people are "hypothetically superior" to that of the veritable author of the original story in original screenplay form for the film "Crocodile Dundee" ... common sense would suggest (if this were the case) that "similar improvements" added to their own original vintage material would render these finished products "proportionately superior" in terms of commercial successes as compared to "Crocodile Dundee".
When the author had selected a prospective singer from Canada to perform his compositions, he also created the prospective singer's stage name by combining the title of this song "CELINE" by Hugues Aufray and the first name of DIONNE Warwick, who the author thought at the time had a great voice and heaps of talent.

Let's go fly a PB&J!
This is a cute idea that my 4 yr old had using 1 slice of bread, pb&j, 1 banana, 1 strawberry, 1 raisin, pretzel sticks, and vanilla yogurt.
We cut the bread in a shape of a kite. We rotated peanut butter and jelly for the stripes. We sliced 1 piece off the end of the banana to make a face. We sliced the rest of the banana long ways to make the string for the kite. We cut 3 pieces off of a strawberry for the bows. We put the banana face connecting to pretzel sticks for the body. We cut the raisin for the eyes and face. We also used a piece of the banana peel for the hair. The clouds are the yogurt. You could really use anything for this one!

Rapper Badshah has been quite occupied these days with his work. The Kala Chashma rapper is currently busy with judging the show Dil Hai Hindustani along with Shekhar Ravjiani, Shalmali Kholgade and Karan Johar. Now as per the latest whispers in the industry, the rapper is all set to appear on Karan Johar's talk show Koffee With Karan.
A source close to Badshah says, "Badshah and Karan have worked together on many films. Also now, they spend a lot of time together on the sets of the singing reality show Dil Hai Hindustani (DHH).
Karan and Badshah have spoken about Badshah being on Koffeee With Karan on the sets of DHH, and the rapper has (gladly) accepted the invitation in principle."
The source further added that as of now the talk is that he might appear for a solo interview on the show. However if required, Badshah wouldn't mind anybody else partnering him.
This would be the first time that a rapper would appear on Koffee With Karan. The show's last episode featured Farah Khan and the tennis ace Sania Mirza.
Recently, the rapper took some time off from his busy schedule and decided to let his hair down. Badshah attended rapper Drake's concert at The O2 in London. He also teamed up with Swagger composer Tanishk Bagchi to remake the Thanedaar hit number Tamma Tamma Loge for Karan Johar's Badrinath Ki Dulhania directed by Shashank Khaitan, which stars Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan in lead roles.

There is no epidemic. There is a "casedemic". it is a Plandemic, we are now counting "positive tests" as "cases" even though the person is not ill, doesn't get ill and may even have recovered months ago. Put simply, the "second wave" is made up almost exclusively of positive tests of healthy people, whereas the first wave was made up mostly of positive tests of very ill people. The difference is obvious when you plot both the death rate per million and the positive test per million on the same timescale[1]. In other analyses[2], it is obvious that viral spread is completely unaffected by social distancing and masks.

In Stunning Reversal, CDC Says It Published New Guidance On Risks Of 'Airborne' COVID-19 "In Error"
After publishing guidance warning about the serious risks of "airborne" infection associated with SARS-CoV-2, the CDC just seriously harmed its own credibility by acknowledging Monday that it had posted the new guidance "in error", following a pressure campaign from the WHO.
Scientists have been gathering evidence that the novel coronavirus plaguing the world spreads via aerosol particles practically since it first emerged, and back in July, a group of 200 scientists sent a letter to the WHO urging the international public health agency to change its guidance on the spread of the disease. The problem scientists argued is that the WHO hasn't updated its views to incorporate new research showing that aerosol spread is a much greater threat than touching contaminated surfaces, or via large droplets spread by close contact between individuals.
Yet, the WHO has refused these overtures, and this week it successfully convinced the CDC to do the same.
After the WHO announced earlier that it had reached out to the CDC over the guidance change, the agency informed American media outlets that a "draft version" of the guidance had been "posted in error".
"A draft version of proposed changes to these recommendations was posted in error to the agency's official website," the CDC said. "CDC is currently updating its recommendations regarding airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Once this process has been completed, the update language will be posted."
Even so, the American media has grown increasingly convinced that aerosols significantly contribute to overall spread of the virus, with ABC News suggesting yesterday that expensive UV-light powered surface cleaners were merely examples of "hygiene theater". For months, the CDC has insisted that these large droplets are the primary mode of transmission, which is why – it argued – people must wear masks in public, because masks are effective at blocking large particles.
However, masks – at least, homemade clothe masks with imperfect seals – aren't as effective at filtering all aerosol particles. Furthermore, research suggests aerosol particles released when a person sneezes can reach up to 26 feet.

Hear from our alumni as they share how Westminster impacted them and why they are contributing to help our students in need.
Kent Kehr '78
"I gave to Wildcat We CARE because God transformed my life for Him through my relationships with the faculty at Westminster both as a student and a staff member. My prayer is that many others will know and see His wonderful hand upon their lives while at Westminster, and experience the life-changing path He has mapped for them. I don't want anyone to have to leave because of the crisis."
Hollie Anderson-Schlueter '92 & Brian Schlueter '93
"I am a result of praying parents and grandparents. I know Westminster Christian Academy was an answer to their prayers. It was at Westminster that my faith and roots in Jesus grew deep. That's why I count it a joy to be able to sow seed into the next generation of students and teachers at Westminster. To give what God leads me to give and watch it grow, nurture, and flourish this generation of young men and women for whatever Jesus calls them to do. It's so exciting!" —Hollie
Thomas Porter '10
"As a black male, my experience at Westminster set me apart. It is my hope and prayer, that every Westminster student of color is afforded the same opportunities that have played such an integral role in my success. We must invest in our future."
Kelly Gilbert '96
"Each and every student who sits in my classroom becomes mine…forever! They are all so precious to me, so how could I turn down a chance to make sure that each student can continue his or her Westminster education, no matter the family's current circumstances? This is such an easy way to bless those who have suffered during these uncertain times."
Sang Hyuk Park '15
"When I came to Westminster as an international student, I had a hard time communicating with other students because I was never good at speaking English. However, the Westminster community and sports helped me a lot to learn the language and the American culture. Now I want to join the Westminster community and help other students."
The Cunningham Family
Holly '91, Evie '20, & Isabel '20
"Even though our graduation years are almost 30 years apart, my girls and I all experienced incredibly impactful relationships with our teachers and the staff at WCA. They validated us, challenged us educationally and spiritually, were some of our first "adult" friends who showed us respect and love, and most importantly taught us to find our source in the Author and Finisher of our Faith, Jesus Christ. We have decided to give to Wildcat We CARE because we don't want other students to miss out on this incredible gift—the extremely unique and beautiful relationship that is freely offered by the staff at Westminster Christian Academy." —Holly
Jocelyn Sheffield '12
"Westminster's superb education and focus on faith-based learning equipped me with the tools needed to thrive as a Christian leader in business and in society as a whole. Please join me in helping other students, so that we can continue to empower the next generation of leaders."
The Bailey Family
Scott '88, Janna '88, Emma '14, & Betsy '18
"Westminster was the setting for the foundation of our family's story, and we will be forever grateful for the life-changing opportunities we've had here. As a family, we have come together in support of the Wildcat We CARE effort because it is our desire that others will also have the Westminster experience of superior education and extracurricular activities that are rooted in a biblical worldview. Our hopes and prayers are for students to be blessed through Westminster for more generations to come." —Janna
Tommy Briner '20
"Westminster has been the best place for me during the four most formative years of my life. It's given me opportunities to build myself as a person, a student, and a journalist. I've gained real-world experience towards my hopeful future profession in ways that other schools simply don't offer. On top of that, the relationships have been wonderful both with friends and teachers. I wouldn't wish it on anyone to be pulled away from their friends and the whole Westminster experience due to financial strain."
Claire Kopsky '14
"The opportunity to attend Westminster was such a privilege that I continue to value today. For me, it was the place my worldview was fine-tuned. It was a place where my teachers and coaches were invested in more than the subject or the game; they cared about the person I was becoming. The truths that were nourished in my high school years help keep me grounded when my ethics are challenged each day. We were taught to help those in need and love as Christ did. His example motivates me to do my part to ensure students continue to have the wonderful Christian education Westminster provides so they will be ready to go out and change our fallen world for Jesus Christ. This has never been more important than today."
Carson Burke '15
"I learned lessons at Westminster in the classroom and through the arts and sports that prepared me for college and my career at Edward Jones. I would hate to think a student had to leave Westminster because of the current crisis. I want to do my part to help them out in their time of need."
Kelly Johnston '97
"Though there is no dollar amount that could begin to repay the debt of gratitude and because there are no words that could adequately describe the life-changing impact of my time at WCA, it is an honor to participate in the Wildcat We CARE campaign. Westminster's excellent education, rooted in the powerful, transforming truth of the gospel, was significantly foundational for so much of the growth and success I've experienced personally, professionally, and spiritually over the last 20+ years. In a time when our world is, perhaps more than ever, desperately in need of Christ-followers who lead as humble, educated, justice-seeking, mercy loving servants…I'm delighted that the Wildcat We CARE fund is being established to ensure future leaders continue to be educated and equipped to tangibly impact our world for both immediate and eternal good."
David Alexander '10
"I would like to share my Wildcat We CARE story with you because now more than ever we must stand together. I am investing in the Wildcat We CARE Campaign because I've seen the 10x impact Westminster has played in my life. I invite you to join me for a conversation on our podcast Social Origin with Jim Marsh as he shares leadership insights on building relationships, empathy, and strength. Enter into this story with me because together we can make a difference."
Hannah Wallace Murray '93
"To be able to help fill a need is one of the fundamental values I walked away with from my time at Westminster. Whether it's volunteering time or in this case, providing financial assistance to a current student, this is an opportunity for us as alumni to be the work gloves on God's hands. I am so proud of our community and of what we can accomplish together!"
Kelley Carey '06
Westminster played a significant role in my life as both a student and later as a teacher. The Westminster community is at its best when it shares in the burdens and needs of one another. I'm grateful to be able to play a small role in helping those affected by this crisis.
John Pottebaum '16
The people at Westminster are special. The faculty's passion towards the students rises from a unique combination of professional skill and love for the Lord. It prepares them to develop the next generation of leaders in our communities, businesses, and households. The rarity of this reality has become more apparent to me as I've graduated from college. I couldn't imagine life without my friends from WCA. I'm moving in with two of them next month. My friends and teachers fortified a foundation of values that shapes my present actions and will inspire any success I may have down the road. The We CARE campaign gave me the opportunity to play a small part in catalyzing the next generation of Christ-centered community. I'm honored to be a member of the Westminster community and I look forward to remaining involved in the future.
Clint Gulick '07
Embrace the gift of giving back to those who invested in you. In some way, shape, or form, WCA has developed each of its students to who they are today.

Series: Fracking
Hydrofracked? One Man's Mystery Leads to a Backlash Against Natural Gas Drilling
When the well water on Louis Meeks' ranch turned brown and oily, he suspected that the thousands of natural gas wells dotting the once-empty Wyoming landscape were somehow to blame. The hard part was proving it. Meeks' struggle to get the energy companies to take responsibility, meticulously documented through three years of investigative reporting by ProPublica's Abrahm Lustgarten, coincides with a national uproar over the oil and gas drilling process called hydraulic fracturing. The technology, which is explored in the Oscar-nominated film "Gasland," promises to open large new energy supplies, perhaps at the expense of the nation's water.

Gas Drilling's Environmental Threat
This story was published as part of Amazon's Kindle Singles program, and is available for reading on that device. ProPublica's first Kindle Single,"Pakistan and the Mumbai Attacks: The Untold Story," is also available.
There are few things a family needs to survive more than fresh drinking water. And Louis Meeks, a burly, jowled Vietnam War hero who had long ago planted his roots on these sparse eastern Wyoming grasslands, was drilling a new well in search of it.
The drill bit spun, whining against the alluvial mud and rock that folds beneath the Wind River Range foothills. It ploughed to 160 feet, but the water that spurted to the surface smelled foul, like a parking lot puddle drenched in motor oil. It was no better — yet — than the water Meeks needed to replace.
Meeks used to have abundant water on his small alfalfa ranch, a 40-acre plot speckled with apple and plum trees northeast of the Wind River Mountains and about five miles outside the town of Pavillion. For 35 years he drew it clear and sweet from a well just steps from the front door of the plain, eight-room ranch house that he owns with his wife, Donna. Neighbors would stop off the rural dirt road on their way to or from work in the gas fields to fill plastic jugs; the water was better than at their own homes.
But in the spring of 2005, Meeks' water had turned fetid. His tap ran cloudy, and the water shimmered with rainbow swirls across a filmy top. The scent was sharp, like gasoline. And after 20 minutes — scarcely longer than you'd need to fill a bathtub — the pipes shuttered and popped and ran dry.
Meeks suspected that environmental factors were to blame. He focused on the fact that Pavillion, home of a single four-way stop sign and 174 people, lies smack in the middle of Wyoming's gas patch. Since the mid 1990's, more than 1,000 gas wells had been drilled in the region — some 200 of them right around Pavillion — thousands of feet through layers of drinking water and into rock that yields tiny rivulets of trapped gas. The drilling has left abandoned toxic waste pits scattered across the landscape.It has also disturbed the earth itself. One step in the drilling cracks and explodes the earth in a physical assault that breaks up the crust and shakes the gas loose. In that process, called hydraulic fracturing, a brew of chemicals is injected deep into the earth to lubricate the fracturing and work its way into the rock. How far it goes and where it ends up, no one really knows. Meeks wondered if that wasn't what ruined his well.
Meeks couldn't have foreseen it when he began raising questions about his water, but hydraulic fracturing was about to revolutionize the global energy industry and herald one of the biggest expansions in U.S. energy exploration in a century. Although the basic technique was developed decades ago, technological advances had made it possible to frack deeply buried rock formations long thought to be inaccessible. That meant a vast stockpile of domestic energy was suddenly available to help loosen the grip of foreign oil on the U.S. economy. It also meant that gas — which burns cleaner than coal — would become a pillar of the government's campaign to address climate change.
As a result, drilling was about to happen in states not typically known for oil and gas exploration, including Michigan, New York and even Maryland. It would go from rural, sparsely populated outposts like Pavillion to urban areas outside Dallas, Denver and Pittsburgh. Along the way, a string of calamitous accidents and suspicious environmental problems would eventually make hydraulic fracturing so controversial that it would monopolize congressional hearings, draw hundreds in protests and inspire an Academy-Award-nominated documentary produced for Hollywood.
Louis Meeks, unintentionally, would be a part of that fight from the very beginning. His personal fight began with something simple: the energy industry's insistence that fracturing couldn't contaminate water.
If the earth were an apple, the argument goes, Meeks' drinking water was drawn from the thin skin, while the gas drilling happened far deeper, close to the seeded core. The environment is also protected by the meticulous construction of the gas well itself, with layers of cement poured around redundant layers of steel to contain whatever happens inside the pipe and shield the fresh water around it from contamination.
"You've got about a mile of rock between the areas you are fracturing and the drinking water," says Doug Hock, a spokesperson for the U.S. Division of EnCana, which owns several hundred gas wells around Pavillion. With its Canadian division, EnCana is the fifth largest oil company in North America.
Still, the circumstances near Meeks' property in Pavillion all pointed to drilling.
Three months before his water went bad, EnCana had laid pipe down into a gas well about 500 feet from Meeks' front door. The well, called Tribal Pavillion 24-2, had "circulation" problems during its construction — meaning that the cement may not have filled all the space between the well and the earth, and that its walls had to be strengthened. EnCana says the problems were minor and had nothing to do with the deterioration of Meeks' water. "There is no evidence to suggest the well bore integrity was in any way or at any time compromised," Hock said. But over time Meeks' water had become undrinkable. His neighbors stopped filling up their bottles with it. Soon they were afraid to touch it.
Meeks started calling state environmental officials, but he got little help. They said his water met national standards, so it was still safe to drink. The taste, they said, was probably from rare iron bacteria that can't easily be removed.
EnCana vehemently denied responsibility. The company's engineers explained to Meeks that the layer of natural gas EnCana was mining was some 3,200 feet — more than half a mile — below the bottom of Meeks' water well. It would be like a drop of poison seeping its way through the granite massif of El Capitan for drilling fluids to wind up in his water. "Activity in the natural gas well did not contaminate the surrounding soil or groundwater," Hock stated.
In the spring of 2005, however, EnCana began bringing Meeks a tanker full of fresh water each month as a "good neighbor" gesture. A 5,000-gallon cistern full of fresh water was connected via a long black plastic pipe to the plumbing in his home and refilled every month. But EnCana made it clear that the tank was temporary, and Meeks decided he had to drill a new hole from scratch. This one, he decided, would need to be deeper than his old well and a football field's length further from the gas wells. He paid a contractor $13,000 to drill it, taking the money from his retirement savings. He felt he had no choice. He'd settled on the land intending to spend the rest of his life there.
"It's a nice little place," Meeks said. "We raise our own lamb, raise our own beef, eggs, we put a garden in. It's pretty hard to just start over."
Meeks was born in Riverton, a ranching and drilling town 26 miles from Pavillion, in 1950. In the spring of 1969, he was stationed with the 34th Engineer Battalion in Vietnam when his base was attacked in the middle of the night. Rockets rained down on the barracks, and a piece of shrapnel sliced through his buttocks and into his gut. He received medals for his service, including the Purple Heart, but he also spent the next two years in hospitals — in Tokyo and then Germany and finally at Fitzsimmons Veterans facility in Denver, where a colostomy reconstructed his intestinal tract. After the Army he came home to Wyoming, where he found day work tying wool for a sheep shearing crew, and then on the drill rigs. He was part of a cementing crew and a workover crew — the team that goes back to an old well and re-stimulates it to get it to produce more oil or gas. But when he complained of stomach pain his VA doctor said he shouldn't lift more than 25 pounds. "In the oil field you've got to lift more than that," he says, "so they got rid of me."
Before Meeks retired he learned a thing or two about drilling. He knew that cementing a well was crucial to holding in the gas and contaminants and that sometimes — more often than people liked to say — it failed. After all, there was no way to know for sure that every little crevice and cavern in the earth surrounding a well bore had been completely sealed. The best measure of the strength of that barrier was the circulation process, which works on the assumption that when excess cement comes back up the sides after being pumped down the middle, it has filled everything in between. And that was the very process that EnCana had trouble with on 24-2.
So, there Meeks was on Dec. 19, 2005, watching his contractor drilling deeper, puncturing one layer after another of clay, shale and sandstone bedrock interspersed with overlapping aquifers that trapped fresh water beneath the ground like a giant natural filter. The drill bit hit 340 feet, but the water was still bad. At 440 feet, it wasn't any better. Geologists say that 30 rock formations containing fresh water may lie beneath Pavillion — layers that supply drinking, irrigation and cattle water for almost all the rural residents in that part of the state. How many of those layers were no longer clean?
At 540 feet the new well still wasn't drawing water suitable for the cattle trough, and Meeks' contractor, Louis Dickinson, shut down the engines and brought the drill bit to a rest. But before Dickinson could finish the job, a distant rumbling began echoing from below. It grew steadily louder, like some paranormal force winding its way through the earth. "Then, holy mackerel," says Meeks, "it just came on us."
An explosion of white foam and water, chased by a powerful stream of natural gas, shot out of the ground where Meeks had drilled his well. It sprayed 200 feet through the air, nearly blowing the 70-foot-tall drilling derrick off its foundation, crystallizing in the frigid winter air and precipitating into a giant tower of ice.
A Suspicious Correlation
The blowout, roaring like a jet engine, continued for 72 hours, until a judge ordered EnCana engineers to use their equipment to control it. In that time, according to one estimate a gasfield worker gave Meeks, 6 million cubic feet of natural gas shot out of his 540-foot-deep water well, more than many gas wells in that part of Wyoming produced in an entire month.
Meeks suspected the 24-2 well was to blame, so he hired an environmental engineer to examine the gas production records of surrounding wells. The engineer found a curious correlation — but it was with well 14-2, which was 1,000 feet away from 24-2 and had been drilled in 1980, more than 23 years before EnCana bought the operations in that area. On the week Meeks' water well was being drilled, gas production in 14-2 fell off by about 25 percent. But on the day Meeks' rogue water well was plugged, gas production at 14-2 more than tripled.
Meeks is no scientist. He has an eighth-grade education. But based on circumstantial evidence — the proximity of the gas wells to his water and the timing of when his water turned bad — he was convinced that the energy industry was to blame. EnCana's Hock said that the company was working on 24-2 to optimize its gas flow, but that no one had done much at all on 14-2 since it was drilled. He called the apparent correlation "merely coincidental." The sharp variation in the 14-2 well, Hock said, was part of the normal variation of the well's production over time.
Hock hypothesized that Meeks struck a natural pocket of gas with his water well. Hock also said that Meeks' well was illegal, because he had a permit to drill it only to 300 feet. But Dickinson, who drilled the water well for Meeks — and has also drilled a water well for EnCana — said that while the allegation is technically accurate, permit depth is considered more of a guideline and is not normally enforced. "It is your best guess," confirmed Lisa Lindemann, administrator of the groundwater division that issues permits for the Wyoming state engineer's office. Lindemann said the state would have allowed Meeks to drill deeper than his permit and had no reason for concern.
Convinced he now had tangible evidence tying EnCana's wells to his water problems, Meeks set out to build a case and get the company to help him. He wanted clean water restored to his property or enough money to buy another ranch. He hired and fired lawyers and sent missives to the press. He spent almost all of his savings — more than $100,000 — and armed himself with data culled from thousands of hours of painstaking technical research. In his living room, where two buffalo hides cover couches that sit beneath the mounted bust of a large bull, file boxes full of well records and scientific reports gradually rose in a teetering tower against the wall.
Meeks began developing a theory. The contamination could have come from leaky old waste pits or from a crack in a well pipe. But the more he learned, the more he suspected it had something to do with hydraulic fracturing.
Thousands of pounds of pressure from fracking, he believed, could exploit tiny cracks or flaws in a well's cement casing. What else could possibly force contaminants through long distances underground, through layers of solid rock? The 14-2 gas well drew gas from more than 1,200 feet lower than his water well. Given the apparent correlation in the gas production and the distance between the wells, he thought something had to be connecting them underground. Since fracturing is designed to crack open the rock, and since no one knows for sure how far those cracks go, such a connection seemed logical.
"If this well is producing at 1,700 feet and that gas is coming up to 500 feet, there is a void in there or something that's making it come all that way," he says. "How else would it come up? Fracking is a problem out here because they don't know where it's going."
Dickinson, who drilled the well, said he had never experienced anything like it. "I've had a few blow outs," he said. "It was definitely coming from that lower formation."
When Meeks began his research in the mid-2000s, there was little factual basis for his suspicions. Outside the industry, not much was known about fracking. All he had was his own logical, but subjective, interpretation of the curious set of circumstances before him.
In fracturing, between 200,000 and 6 million gallons of water are mixed with a cocktail of solvents, surfactants and acids that make up about 1 percent by volume and are pumped into the well under enough pressure to bore a hole in a sidewalk. The fluids are mixed with sand, so they can lodge deep in the cracked earth, prop open the fissures they create and keep the gas and fluids flowing freely.
Exactly how far these man-made cracks reach, or whether they can connect with other faults and fissures to create a pathway toward the surface, is unclear. That 1,000 feet of solid rock and layers of steel pipe should be an effective barrier between the gas well and his water well sounded plausible enough to Meeks, but then someone needed to explain to him how his blowout happened.
EnCana's Hock said the company never injected enough fluid into the 24-2 well or any other well in the area to make its way all the way back to the surface. Hock insisted the industry had proved such a connection was impossible.
But Meeks couldn't find a single independent or peer-reviewed study of fracturing's effects on water resources; the reports he found were mostly drafted by or paid for by the oil and gas industry. The Environmental Protection Agency had said fracturing was safe, but it had based its conclusion in part on a review of many of the same industry materials Meeks had studied. The EPA never tested water wells itself. And scientists say that sort of testing — both before and after drilling takes place — is essential to a sound scientific analysis of the impacts of drilling.
"The critical thing that has to be done is a systematic sampling of the background prior to drilling activity, during and after drilling activity," said Geoffrey Thyne, a geologist and former professor at the Colorado School of Mines and an environmental-engineering consultant with expertise in drilling and fracturing. "Ideally we would go out, we would put monitoring wells in and surround an area that was going to be fractured as part of normal operations."
The budget for that kind of project would run to a ballpark of $10 million, which Thyne said would be a relatively small project for the U.S. Geological Survey or the EPA to undertake. But such a study had never been done.
The thing that kept bugging Meeks — a nagging lesson from his own days on the rigs — had to do with the cement and casing. To protect shallow water aquifers, the regulations say that oil and gas wells have to be encased in concrete far deeper than residents usually drill for water. But some of the records Meeks gathered showed that many of the wells had never been cemented that far. And he couldn't get any of the regulators he talked to to do anything about it.
"I was doing anything I could to get help," says Meeks. "I'd try to tell them there was a problem here but nobody would listen to me."
For one, nobody could agree that anything was actually wrong with his water. There was little debate that it looked brown, smelled like fuel and tasted awful. But by the standard commonly used to decide if water is safe to drink — the sort of test a homebuyer would require before signing a mortgage — Meeks' water was fine. It didn't contain heavy metals or arsenic or any of the handful of obvious contaminants that drinking-water specialists look for. But the tests didn't look for the vast array of obscure compounds that can come from industrial processes like drilling, many of which are unknown, even to the scientific community.
EnCana also took samples of Meeks' water, had them tested, and said that it found nothing.
Wyoming state officials, including Mark Thiesse, then the West District groundwater supervisor for the Department of Environmental Quality, told him they didn't have the inspectors or money to conduct a scientific analysis. "I don't know how many times Thiesse told me 'we don't have a smoking gun and we don't have any money, so what do you want us to do?' " Meeks said.
Thiesse, who has since moved to a different part of the DEQ, said he tested Meeks' well five times. "We have not found hydrocarbons. We have not found fracking chemicals. We have found nothing out of the ordinary. So it's pretty circumstantial."
Each agency Meeks contacted — including the Bureau of Indian Affairs, which is partially responsible for regulating drilling on the Wind River Reservation lands — treated him as if his story were the first time they had heard the suggestion that drilling fluids could wind up in drinking water.
By this time, Meeks' neighbors, loyal to an oil and gas industry that pumps billions of dollars into Wyoming's economy and is a significant employer, thought he was a hothead threatening to dismantle their livelihoods more than a victim defending the region's water. As many people saw it, there was nothing to win by complaining. At best, Meeks would be proved right, and the natural landscape around Pavillion would forever carry a stigma. At worst, he would discredit the industry, hurt their business and put everyone's jobs at risk.
One afternoon Meeks was down by the road, tearing out a section of fence. "There's a preacher works a mile down. He stopped and said, 'You are the worst neighbor I could ever have,' " Meeks said. " 'Every time I see you you've got a jar of water in your hand or you are in the newspaper. What if one of these days I want to sell my land? You're making it so I can't.' "
Nearly two years after his water first turned bad, Meeks found himself alone, an aging near-bankrupt war vet facing off against one of the more powerful corporations on the continent.
The Feds Grow Alarmed
As Meeks continued his quest, hydraulic fracturing was transforming the energy industry and unfurling a wave of drilling that rippled quickly across the country. The fracturing technology that was first used commercially by Halliburton in 1949 had been reworked until a sweet spot combination of chemicals and pressure was derived that made it possible to reach gas far deeper in the earth than energy companies had previously been able to.
In 1995 hydraulic fracturing was used in only a small fraction of gas wells, and the nation's gas reserves were around 165 trillion cubic feet. The United States was so desperate for energy that energy companies were scrambling to secure foreign oil and building $300-million ports to import liquefied natural gas from Russia, Qatar and elsewhere.
By late 2008, however, fracturing was being used in nine out of 10 of the roughly 33,000 wells drilled in the United States each year, and estimates of the nation's gas reserves had jumped by two thirds. Drilling was taking place in 31 states, and geologists claimed the United States contained enough natural gas to supply the country for a century. Russia's president (and former chairman of its state gas company, Gazprom), Dmitri Medvedev, said he would curtail his own nation's gas drilling efforts because he thought the United States might have so much gas that it wouldn't buy more from Russia.
"Hydraulic fracturing is one of the U.S. oil and gas industry's crowning achievements," said Lee Fuller, vice president of government affairs for the Independent Petroleum Association of America and an influential lobbyist who helped shape federal policy on fracturing. Fracturing, Fuller said, takes place "with surgical precision and unrivaled environmental safety records."

Reports of hate-crime cases, many involving "cow vigilantes," have spiked since Narendra Modi's party came to power in 2014.
Between 2010 and 2013, fewer then ten cases of hate crime were reported in India each year.
In 2014, Modi's BJP came to power. The number of hate crimes reported by news outlets has steadily increased since.
The most violent year recorded by IndiaSpend was 2017, but 2018 is on track to set a new record.
Muslims were reported to be the victims in most of the cases and Hindus the perpetrators.
When police arrived, the men scattered, but it was too late for Ansari. He lost consciousness in an ambulance and was pronounced dead on the way to a hospital. The postmortem report said Ansari died of shock as a result of multiple injuries.
Ansari's killing played out in almost real time on WhatsApp, the global messaging platform that is widely used in India, its largest market, and has increasingly become a vehicle for the spread of hate speech and incendiary fake news there and elsewhere.
His wife, Mariam Khatoon, and son watched the killing unfold on the phones of their neighbors, who had gathered in a shocked group outside the family's modest concrete dwelling in the town of Ramgarh that morning.
Harsh Mander, director of the Center for Equity Studies in New Delhi, said the perpetrators film these lynchings and post online to communicate a threatening message to the victims, who are often minorities or from lower-caste communities.
Modi's career has been shadowed by allegations of religious intolerance since 2002, when he, as the chief minister of the state of Gujarat, was accused of failing to do enough to stop Hindu-Muslim riots that killed more than 1,000. For this, he was denied a visa to visit the United States on religious-freedom grounds, making the trip only after he became prime minister in 2014.
Now, in a string of incidents, his party members have been accused of supporting or even inciting violence against Muslims, leaving many in the country's Muslim community of 172 million — the third largest in the world — fearful.
In some of the lynching cases, members of Modi's party or its right-wing affiliates incited or organized the mobs or praised the killers after the fact.
In Ansari's killing, Nityanand Mahto, spokesman for the BJP in Ramgarh district, was released in early July on bail pending appeal after being jailed for a year for his role in inciting the mob. He denies involvement, saying he was in the crowd because he was trying to stop the violence. The prosecutor said he took part in the beating. "I was framed," he said.
Eleven men and one juvenile suspected in Ansari's death were arrested and charged with murder. In March, the adults were convicted and sentenced to life in prison, prompting protests; their supporters claim Ansari died because he was beaten in police custody. All but the juvenile have since been released on appeal; one of the convicted men has died in an unrelated accident.
The high court judge who ordered the release of the first seven men noted that although they were members of the mob, there was a lack of evidence against them in the assault. Later, even those convicted of the conspiracy were released on bail.
In July, some of the accused perpetrators went to the home of Jayant Sinha, a member of Modi's council of ministers. Sinha fed them sweets and hung marigold garlands around their necks, prompting an international firestorm.
Sinha said he believes they are innocent but said he feels regret for honoring the men.
Hate crime data was compiled by IndiaSpend from incidents reported in the English language print and online news reports in India. A "religious hate crime" is defined as an incident that qualifies as a criminal act under Indian law and has religious motivation based on several bias indicators established through evidence/patterns from past crimes.

Rage fueled by gender imbalances, identity politics and economics is stirring trouble.
Right-wing extremists use Facebook to find interfaith pairs — and encourage followers to 'hunt down' the men.
