Anderson works on the tech team at his local church. Recently, a 17-year-old girl joined the church staff as an intern. While Anderson has never met or spoken with her, the fact that they volunteer on separate teams at the church is a violation of his probation, according to officials who issued a warrant for his arrest last week.
To whom it may concern:
My name is Pete Tarwacki and I am the Creative Arts Director of Granger Community Church Elkhart. For the last two years I have had the privilege of serving our Church together with Zach Anderson. He serves on my team almost every Sunday and does so with Excellence and Integrity.
It has come to my attention that Zach has been sited with talking to a minor inside our church walls and I want to make sure we are all on the same page about this.
We are aware of Zach’s past at GCC, so we have taken every measure to make sure that he is following his court orders to the fullest. I have experienced Zach asking me many times how old someone is and if ever hearing they were a minor, he would tell me right away “I’m not allowed to talk to them”. I have witnessed him ignore a hello from a minor and even go upstairs if a kid would get near him on the main floor. Zach has shown nothing but integrity when it comes to these situations to make sure he is not violating any of the policies put in place for him. When he attends evening rehearsal he will say “I need to leave to get home in time for my curfew”. He had told me before that I can’t email him because he is not allowed to be on the internet. My entire experience with Zach has been him trying to never violate any of the restrictions placed on him.
As a church we believe in erring on the side of caution and as a church we have policies in place for our own staff that to some, may look unnecessary. An example would be that a male and female not be alone in a building together or that a married man or women not ever ride in a car alone with a person of the opposite sex who is not their spouse. As a church we never want anyone to assume the worst in us, but instead we always take extra steps to have the highest integrity in all we do.
The minor in question is a member of the Granger Community Church Staff as an intern in the Creative Arts department and is 17 years old. She completed High School last year and decided to serve the Church for a year until she attends college in the fall of 2018. She does not serve directly with Zach and I have never seen the two of them talk, ever.
I just got off the phone with her and asked her if she knew Zach Anderson and she replied, “I don’t think I do, maybe if I saw a picture of him.” I asked her if she has ever spoken with him and she replied, “NO”. I asked her to email me a statement of that and she sent the following:
I have never interacted with Zach Anderson and have never met him.
I am so proud of Zach and how much integrity he has shown in front of me in every instance at our church. Our church is better because of Zach and I count it an honor to serve with him at GCC.

It sounds sort of like a mass of crickets. But not quite. A high-pitched whine, but from what? It seems to undulate, even writhe. Listen closely: Some hear multiple, distinct tones colliding in a nails-on-the-chalkboard effect.
The company does not outright mention President Donald Trump’s immigration policy in the costume description, but the getup has led many social media users to comment that it’s a reference to his border wall proposal.
The University of British Columbia (UBC) is disavowing a scientific paper that links aluminum in vaccines to autism in mice. One of the researchers and co-authors of the report now says the data was purposely distorted to reach the document’s conclusion, CBC News reports.

President Trump — frustrated over Congress’ failure to repeal and replace ObamaCare — signed an executive order Thursday to make it easier for people to buy cheaper, bare-bones health insurance.
In an op-ed penned for Breitbart, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) explained that President Donald Trump’s upcoming executive order–which would legalize the sale of health insurance across state lines–would come at zero cost for the taxpayer and would enable 28 million people “left behind” by Obamacare to purchase insurance cheaply.
Soda drinkers won’t have to pay the much-reviled tax come Dec. 1, which is also the day after the County Board’s deadline to come up with a new budget. That task is now more difficult without the $200 million Preckwinkle was counting on from the pop tax next year.
Any software company in the world that is found to be spying on its customers deserves to be exposed for such a heinous act. The consequences to the company would be fatal, and therefore the standard of proof needs to be high. Kaspersky Lab has suffered more slander from more supposedly reputable news outlets than any company in recent memory, and the only thing that they’re guilty of is being able to detect some of the world’s most sophisticated malware when its running on your laptop.
So, gone are terms like “chief caretaker” or “chief superintendent” out of fears of offending people that often refer to their own leaders as “chief.” The current head of the largest aboriginal, indigenous or Indian group in Canada – please choose your language carefully – is a man named Perry Bellegarde who holds the title of “National Chief.”

“The U.S. attorney has made it clear if anyone is caught mishandling FEMA supplies, they will be prosecuted and could end up facing anywhere from five to 20 years in prison,” Osorio said.
Delinda Jensen, the owner of the Mother Nature vegan food truck, responded to the Las Vegas shooting with a Facebook post that has led to the (very, very) swift downfall of her business. “Yes I am jaded,” she wrote last Monday afternoon. “Fifty nine meat eaters dead. How many animals will live because of this?” She then responded to herself, writing, “I don’t give a fuck about carnists anymore.”
The Associated Students of Madison (ASM) requested a plaque to be installed near the statue that would recognize Lincoln’s “brutality towards indigenous peoples” for his role in the executions of dozens of Sioux prisoners in December 1862. As The Washington Free Beacon explains, over 260 men were charged in military tribunals for murder and rape of white settlers in Minnesota. However, Lincoln commuted the death sentences down to just 38, though some believe innocent Indians were among those hanged. And there in lies the problem, according to ASM Chair Katrina Morrison.
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan said Wednesday that the fastest way to curtail the sale of the kind of bump stock add-on that made last week’s Las Vegas shooting so lethal would be for the administration to act.
A personal injury law firm is now suing the producer of bump stocks — devices that can be fitted to a semi-automatic weapon to simulate fully-automatic fire — over its reported role in the Las Vegas shooting.
The proposed ban on bump stocks not only applies to a wide, vague range of firearm accessories, as Christian Britschgi noted this morning. It also criminalizes mere possession of those accessories, making owners subject to fines and up to five years in prison, even if they acquired the newly prohibited items before the ban was enacted.
The Boy Scouts of America announced on Wednesday that girls will soon be allowed to become Cub Scouts and to earn the coveted rank of Eagle Scout, the organization’s highest honor.
