Pastor Tom Beachy

Beachy to celebrate final service at Pigeon church
The Huron Daily Tribune, MichigansThumb.com 11/17/06

PIGEON — After serving the congregation of Pigeon River Mennonite Church for 16 years, Pastor Tom Beachy will embark on a new mission. He recently accepted the position of director of communications of the Rosedale Mennonite Missions in Rosedale, Ohio. The mission and Pigeon River Mennonite Church are both members of the Conservative Mennonite Conference.

“It’s been a great 16 years,” Beachy said. “We love the community, the Thumb and the lake. This is a great congregation and they have made our work a joy. “Pastoring has been really rewarding,” Beachy said. “It’s really an honor to work with a group of people like this.”

In his new position, Beachy and his wife will spend about 75 percent of their time traveling and visiting the 140 conference churches, he said. He may spend some time traveling internationally to mission fields as well, he added. “I will be speaking in churches every Sunday, but not as a pastor, as an encourager,” Beachy said. “I will tell stories of the missions and inspire people to give to a great cause.”

Udate, more about Lincoln Beachey

Lincoln Beachey website.
Thanks to John Lienhard, at the University of Houston, where we're interested in the way inventive minds work.
Beachey perfected every kind of stunt: flying down into the mists of Niagara Falls, flying to an altitude record of over two miles, nose-diving from 3000 feet with his engine off while onlookers screamed, fainted, and vomited. He did one of the first loops in the air and he did it hair-raisingly close to the ground. Prize money amply repaid his costs to the Curtiss flying school.

Gordon Beachy Promise made, Promise kept.


(World War II German Pill Box)
"A promise made is a debt unpaid" (R.S.) Gordon made a promise which he kept, so his debt has been paid. Gordon said, and I quote "I was a combat soldier in the second world war. I was an assistant on a flame thrower going across the Czaar River bristling with German pill boxes. I promised the Lord I would do anything for Him if I survived. The battle never went through and I spent another hitch in Germany and Japan. I got out and went to Bible college in 1950, where I met my wife, Carole. We went to Haiti in the Caribbean and spent 30 years there." (Missionaries) In my telephone conversation with Gordon, he told how he was jailed for 5 days when he first arrived in Haiti, no fault of his own. This is just one of the many stories Gordon has to tell. He is writing a book, hopefully we will be able to read about his experiences before long. Gordon and Carole are retired and living in Pensacola Florida. They have five children, two were born in Haiti. Gordon Jr. is serving in the military in Iraq at this time, expects to be home in November, 2006. Thanks Gordon and Carole, God Bless you and yours.

Roger Beachy PhD


This tiny transgenic tobacco plantlet can be grown in a small water dish as shown here, but still can be used to produce large quantities of recombinant protein, illustrating that plant bioreactors are extremely economical. (Source: Chenming Zhang, PhD)
“Some of the earliest ideas of using plants to produce novel proteins came from plant virologists,” says Roger Beachy, PhD, president of The Donald Danforth Plant Center, St. Louis. Those earlier scientists looked at the possibility of using plant viruses to carry new genetic information into a host plant, the result of which was temporary production of novel proteins. This type of transient expression of a foreign protein represented the beginning of plant biotechnology. Complete story click.

"The Race Across the Sky"
Picture from previous ride,

By: John Butters
09/07/2006

Landon Beachy has ridden as much as 280 miles in 16 hours, and 750 miles in 89 hours. But the toughest 12 hours of his racing career may have occurred on the Leadville Trail 100 Mile Mountain Bike Race in Colorado.
Billed as "The Race Across the Sky," the Leadville 100 is a grueling ride that takes mountain bikers on one of the world's most demanding courses. The elevation of the race is the biggest hurdle for many cyclists, but it's only one of several. The rough terrain, punishing winds and cold rains test the best-conditioned athletes.

The Bible Our Switzerland Ancestors Used.


The Bible our Anabaptist ancestors used in Switzerland was known as the Froschauer Bible. Christoph Froschauer was a printer in Zurich, Switzerland, in the 16th century. His earliest publications were dated 1521, and he began printing the New Testament in 1524. Froschauer based his New Testament primarily on the translation of the New Testament into German by Martin Luther, editing word order and dialect to match the vernacular German spoken by the Swiss people of that region.
A few years later, in 1529, Froschauer finished his printing of the complete Bible, using the Old Testament translations by Anabaptist scholars Ludwig Haetzer and Hans Denk, since Luther had not completed his translation of the Old Testament. This Bible was very popular and much loved among Anabaptists because of its dialect; it was easier for the common Swiss citizen to understand than, for example, the High German of Luther’s translation. Because so many Froschauer Bibles were confiscated and destroyed by Swiss Authorities, there became a shortage of this very popular translation. In 1744, the publisher Simon Kurssner, Cantzley-Buchdrucker, of Strasbourg, reprinted the complete 1536 edition of the Bible originally printed in Zurich by Froschauer.
The old Froschauer Bible, published at Zurich in the time of Luther, is still widely used by the Amish, as it is by the Mennonites.

Loren Beachy prime instigator


Loren Beachy, of rural Mt. Pleasant, the prime instigator in getting Henry County to join the worldwide hunger fight, was in one of two combines harvesting the crop.
Surrounding the Goodyear plant, which donated the use of the land for the food plot, the ground yielded an average of 103 bushels per acre. Young noted, "It's pretty good considering how dry it has been." It took just 150 minutes for the two combines to cover the 25 acres.
A total of 17 Henry County commercial and non-profit organizations participated in the Foods Resource Bank project in 2005. Local organizers are hoping to have a bigger plot next year with more people involved.
