Twenty-eight Westminster College students attended the Engineering Society of Western Pennsylvania Leadership Conference in October.

Heather Bullers, a Westminster College elementary education and music major, will give her senior recital, Sunday, Oct. 1 at 3 p.m. in Wallace Memorial Chapel.

The Chapel Drama, "Children of Eden," is a powerful musical loosely based on the first chapters of Genesis.  Stephen Schwartz, one of the creators of "Godspell," wrote the music and lyrics.

Kiwanis and Circle K members concentrate on cutting metal out of old athletic shoes without doing damage to their own hands. Shoes minus metal are ready to be ground up and recycled by Nike, Inc. in Portland, Oregon.

Circle K members, Heather Lorigan and Suzanne McGuire cut eyelets out of shoes while Jim Cyphert, Kiwanis member, bags the shoes that are ready for Nike Grind.

Several times a year the local Kiwanis Club comes to the Nature Center at the Field Station to work! They are good workers. On November 9, nine Kiwanis and two Circle K members spent an evening scrutinizing and bagging 1,180 athletic shoes that had come from the closets of the community. Why would anyone want to "scrutinize" old, worn (sometimes smelly) athletic shoes? Here is why. They can be recycled BUT metal eyelets and decorative emblems must be cut out of the shoes before that can happen. This requires scrutiny, sharp blades and muscle.

Jason Kissel, a 1997 Westminster College graduate, will present an organ concert Tuesday, July 10, at 8 p.m. in the Mary Mother of Hope Church in New Castle. The concert is free and open to the public.
