Greg Beachey Ice Carving Coordinator

Goshen Ind.With the mild weather this weekend, it's the perfect time to get everyone together and enjoy some outdoor winter fun. From master ice carvers to steaming chili and snowman building, Elkhart County is filled with activities for the whole family to enjoy. Goshen is holding the city's 5th annual Fire and Ice Festival on Friday and Saturday. The Michiana Ice Carvers Association will be carving on Friday night from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. in front of downtown Goshen businesses. Saturday those carvers will put their skills to the test with a carving competition starting at 10:00 a.m. This year's mild temperatures have brought an added challenge for the sculptors. “It’s going to be tough to keep the ice sculptures looking nice,” Ice carving coordinator Greg Beachey said. “We’re having a little bit of trouble with the weather, sunshine and the wind. But we’re adapting the way we sculpt the pieces to make them last.” The annual Chili Fire Competition takes place on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Awards will be presented at 2:00 p.m. at the Goshen Theatre.

Fire damages NM service house ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Everyone is safe.
All of the participants were at work when the fire ignited, sometime between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. A neighbor called the fire department upon seeing the flames. “Everything will need to be pitched or cleaned up,” said Carolyn Snyder, the Service Adventure support committee chair and a member at Albuquerque Mennonite Church. On the cold, rainy day after the fire, the participants stayed away from work, waiting to get into the house to retrieve what they could. Sitting in the same clothes from the day before, they ate sandwiches, salad and Oreo cookies donated by church members.

Service Adventure gives young adults ages 17-20 the opportunity to live and serve in community with other young adults and a mentor or mentor couple. Albuquerque participants are Melanie Pilz, 19, from Rangsdorf, Germany; Erin Regier, 18, from Newton, Kan.; Hannah Martin, 18, from Greencastle, Pa.; and Michelle Peachey, 18, from Lancaster, Pa.

Lincoln Beachey

Amory shook up history in Tampa
Thousands of people pass by the Fort Homer Hesterly Armory every day. However, few have any idea of the history that resides within the walls of the building that sits unoccupied and largely unnoticed along Howard Avenue in West Tampa. The Armory sits atop a site that is historic in and of itself. During the summer of 1898, Theodore Roosevelt's Rough Riders used the open land as their campsite in the days leading up to the Spanish-American War.

The space later came to be known as Benjamin Field, named for George Benjamin, one of the founders of West Tampa. Benjamin donated the land to the city of West Tampa in 1896 for use as a park. In the early 1910s, Benjamin Field became an airfield. Aviation was still in its infancy, and pioneering pilots like LINCOLN BEACHEY participated in several air meets at the field — and accomplished one of the first night flights in aviation history at that site.

Call to develop, promote high nutrient crops
Dr Roger N Beachy talked about a 'better planet with better food'.
He stressed the need to reduce the trend of increasing fertilisers in the country.
He called for conserving water as global warming has started playing havoc and water is shrinking
Most of the food and crop strategies over the past years focused on yield and protection of crops but very little has been really done on breeds for high nutrition crops across the globe having two billion nutrition-deficient children. Keeping this in view, we have to develop and promote high nutrient crops breeds to cope with food crises. Click for article in Business Recorder December 09, 2011.

Brandon Beachy Atlanta Braves

ATLANTA -- Brandon Beachy seems genuinely appreciative of the many individuals who have aided him during a journey that became more improbable as he spent this year enjoying a record-setting rookie season with the Braves. Two years ago, Beachy was a relatively unknown Minor League pitcher who had just completed his first full professional season. One summer earlier, he had seen his life's path significantly altered when the Braves signed him out of a relatively obscure collegiate summer league staged in rural Virginia. And it's been just four years since Beachy was attempting to celebrate Thanksgiving while dealing with the fact that he was still just a few months removed from that horrific day when his ill-fated attempt to prank his siblings led to a fire that destroyed his parents' home. "To be where I'm sitting now, I have a lot to give thanks for," Beachy said. "There is a lot of good that has come out of that experience. It's just one more experience in my life that shows how blessed I've truly been. "It reminds me to not take anything for granted because it can be taken away so quickly."

Kevin Beachy Coach of the Year

MILLERSBURG OH -- Like any good coach does, West Holmes cross country coach Kevin Beachy deflected all the credit for the girls team's success this season back toward his runners. In all four years that Beachy has been at the helm, though, the Knights have made it to regionals -- it's hard to believe this is just a coincidence. Beachy, who is this year's Daily Record Girls Cross Country Coach of the Year, engineered yet another fine season in Millersburg, leading the Knights to a fourth-place finish in the Ohio Cardinal Conference, a second-place finish at the Wayne-Holmes Invitational and a third-place finish at the Cambridge District to earn their fourth straight trip to regionals.

Tiffany Beachy Citizen Scientist Coordinator

Great Smoky Mountains Institute at Tremont. Located approximately 130 miles from Chattanooga in the historic Walker Valley section of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, just outside of Townsend, Tenn.
“Our citizen science projects allow volunteers and students to become scientists for a day,” says TIFFANY BEACHY, citizen scientist coordinator at Tremont. “Many people feel like science is unapproachable, but these programs make it more tangible and help them feel like they are taking part in something bigger than themselves.”
Beachy says Monarch butterfly tagging, birding banding, and pond breeding amphibian monitoring programs are most conducive for groups. The terrestrial and aquatic salamander monitoring programs are reserved for school groups in order to prevent too much disturbance to ecosystems.

Kathy Beachy State Park Ranger

Sleeper State (MI) Park Ranger Kathy Beachy checks the age of the buck shot on Tuesday Nov. 15,
Beachy said 32 deer filtered their way through the check station on Tuesday, the opening day of regular firearm season, and about a dozen on Wednesday morning. She said checking heads at the station is voluntary for hunters. Most of the time, Beachy said, the age of the deer is recorded and a collectible patch is given out. The agents check a deer’s age by slicing open a side of the animal’s cheek, necessary after rigor mortis. They search for any telltale teeth — like tricuspids, which set in after a year and a half — and teeth wear. Click for article by Michael Mayday Bay City Times Thursday, November 17, 2011.

Dr. Roger N. Beachy, founder of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in Creve Coeur and the first director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) came to MICDS last week on a distinctive mission.

Laban Peachey College President 1968-1980

Former Hesston College President Laban Peachey (1968-80) and President Howard Keim pose with the Hesston College airplane named in honor of President Peachey during Homecoming Weekend 2011. Peachey was President when the aviation program was launched in 1970 and was a major advocate of the program from its inception. But the plan for aviation seemed unprecedented. How could a small Christian college support an Aviation program? “We had no planes and no facilities; just a lot of interest and enthusiastic students,” said Peachey. During its first year of existence, the program leased an airplane from the Moundridge (Kan.) Flying Club, used the McPherson (Kan.) airport as its base and offered two courses – one ground training course and one flight training course. Director of Aviation Dan Miller, a 1978 graduate of Hesston’s program and Director since 1999, said fall 2011 enrollment boasts 45 students in the aviation program, including 12 studying Air Traffic Control, which was introduced at Hesston in 2009 and in 2010 became one of 36 colleges across the country and the only Kansas college to gain FAA approval.

Laura Beachy grew up in Somerset, Pa., seven miles from Shanksville, where United Airlines Flight 93 crashed. When her sixth-grade teacher turned on the television, Beachy, then 11, couldn’t believe the images were real. Her teacher broke down, evidence that they were. She remembers the early days, when people in Somerset County opened their homes, cooked dinners and held candles for the families of Flight 93. She remembers later years, when community leaders and politicians debated how to memorialize the site and the memories. “You will do anything for your neighbor,” said Beachy, 21, when asked what she remembers as an 11-year-old kid. “Even if you don’t know your neighbor.” Click for article By Teri Weaver / The Post Standard September 10, 2011,
