Teacher Sarah Beachy


School Lets Students Pick Courses, Make Rules
DALE ENTERPRISE - At a new private school in Rockingham County, students are creating their own curriculum. "The philosophy is based on the idea that everyone has a drive to learn within themselves without someone saying, ‘You have to learn this,'" Beachy said. "All day they're thinking, ‘What do I want to do and how do I make it happen?'" Click to read the article and comments.

Titus Peachey



To ban the (cluster) bomb Lancaster resident Titus Peachey has worked for years to try to stop the carnage. Now, says Peachey, who returned earlier this month from a cluster bomb conference in Austria, the world might be getting somewhere. Today, said Peachey, the MCC director of peace education, stockpiles of mines are falling. Even nations that did not sign the treaty, such as the United States, have largely refrained from deploying new mines. The British-based organization estimated that the bombs have killed or injured more than 100,000 people worldwide. Click to read the article By JON RUTTER, Staff writer. LancasterOnline.com

Jeff Peachey


Jeffrey S Peachey, owner of a New York City-based studio for book conservation, spoke about the common structural points in failure of conserving books from late 15th and early 16th Bibles at the L. Tom Perry Special Collections. It is a nightmare for conservators to see a book such as a Victorian Bible with brutal papers and taped all over, Peachey said. The oldest book that Peachey has worked on is a Gutenberg Bible, the first printed book in 1453. Click to read the article by Stella Chu. BYU NewsNet

Roger Beachy


A couple of weeks ago, I heard Roger Beachy, the president of the nonprofit Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis, speak about genetically engineered crops.
Beachy is a big name in science, and I was excited to be there, especially during the question and answer hullabaloo after his lecture. For example, Beachy and others want to develop more nutritious subsistence crops for the Third World. Do the poor and hungry have a right to use these technologies? Should the developed world create barriers to their access, legislatively or otherwise? Click to read the complete article by Megan McKenzie in the Corvallis Gazette Times.

Clint Beachy, lost pup found.


A fuzzy black-and-brown puppy named Triton has been reunited with his family after spending almost two weeks lost in the wilderness outside Port Clements. (BC Canada)
Port resident Debbie Delves found Triton on Friday (Nov. 16), 13 days after the little rottweiler/border collie/lab cross had gone missing while out driving with owner Clint Beachy on the logging roads.
Volunteers spent hours scouring the forest for the pup, who was only 10 weeks old when he disappeared. Searchers were almost ready to give up when Nov.14 Clint received a phone call from someone who had spotted Triton. That sighting revived the search, Ms Ryland and others spent hours looking for the puppy the next day, with no success.
On Friday, Ms Delves decided to head out with her two-year-old grandson, Kao. She brought puppy chow with her, thinking she would at least leave a dish of food in the area where Triton had last been seen, the Flo logging road. "It was snowing like crazy," she said. "Then, I saw this little black head pop out of the ditch." At first, she thought it was a raccoon and was about to move on, but then she heard the jingling of Triton's choke chain. She quietly crept towards the ditch, shaking the food dish - and the very hungry puppy leapt towards her, knocking the dish out of her hand in his excitement. "He was definitely skinny, but he was fine," she said. "I was just in the right place at the right time."
Ms Delves, an experienced dog owner, said she has no idea how the puppy managed to survive in the woods for so long.

Alton Beachy, (on left) A panel of speakers talked and answered questions at Friday’s Conklin AgroVantage Field Day in Fredericktown.
In his comments to the farmers, Beachy emphasized the importance of taking care of the soil and feeding all the microbes living in it. “Respect the soil and feed it,” Beachy said. “I’ve always said that I’m a livestock farmer. I feed millions of head of livestock, but I never see them.”
The Plain City corn farmer said that since he started taking care of his soil by balancing the nutrients in it, his worm population has increased, which keeps the soil aerated and ideal for plants taking root. That, combined with the right balance of major and minor nutrients, has improved both the yield and the quality of his crops. “You just have to pay attention to details,” Beachy said."

Captain Phillip L. Beachy


Asbury Park, NJ, USA. LAKEHURST — For the Navy community here, Friday marked the continuation of an old service tradition, and a bittersweet welcome and sendoff for two of its commanding officers. His successor, Capt. Phillip L. Beachy, strode into a traditional change-of-commander ceremony, to the sound of a bell and bosun's pipe from the age of sail, flanked by sailors in the multicolored work shirts of a nuclear aircraft carrier. And when he spoke, Beachy spoke of what many in the base gymnasium were thinking. "As many of you know, there's someone missing today," said Beachy, whose wife, Angela, died Feb. 16 at the age of 44 after a battle with cancer. The Beachy family is very active in the First Presbyterian Church of Toms River. "I can't tell you how important my faith has been, especially these last couple of years," Beachy said as his daughter, Amanda, looked on. In the close world of families on a naval base, spouses are an important part of the community. Phillip and Angela Beachy had been together for 20 years, from his early days as a helicopter pilot. "I used to tell her she was much more suited to be a C.O.'s (commanding officer's) wife than I was qualified to be a C.O.," Beachy told the audience. "She would have done so well."
