Ice carver Greg Beachey, will create the angel in front of Yoder's Shopping Center,

"The festival started on Friday, but then because of the ice (icy road conditions) we couldn't carve ice ... how much sense does that make?" said King, who owns Jo Jo's Pretzels."We carved on Friday, but they melted by Saturday morning and then on Saturday morning we had competition carving. But then by Saturday night, those were gone." Today one team, led by chef and ice carver Alfredo Arroyo, will carve the horses and carriage in front of the Blue Gate Restaurant and Bakery, 195 N. Van Buren St. Another team, led by chef and ice carver GREG BEACHEY, will create the angel in front of Yoder's Shopping Center,Shipshewana Indiana.

Greg Beachey Ice Artist

Photos by Laura J. Gardner | The Journal Gazette. GREG BEACHEY from New Paris cuts into his big chunk of ice to create a Bighorn Sheep for the ice competition Saturday in downtown Shipshewana. Beachey has competed in ice sculpting for 10 years. The two 350-pound blocks of ice that each of the eight artists was given started to melt even before the carvers were able to attack them with their waterproof electric chain saws, stencils and chisels. Most of the carvers were from the South Bend area. But as hard as they worked, they seemed to be fighting against the unseasonably warm weather more than each other. You have to make bigger, bulkier and less detailed pieces,” Beachey said. Click to read the complete article by Michael Zennie Fort Wayne Journal Gazette - Fort Wayne, IN

Wayne Beachy Displays his two Lighted Reindeer.

Today at Carlton's Christmas open house, Nick brought the first two models of our lighted reindeer car. As with the rest of our cars, I do the decorating and Nick does the electronics and mechanical. With this car, he out did himself. The car is a old Gilbert depressed center flatcar decorated for the North Pole Power and Light Co. It has a generator which appears to power the two lighted reindeer, thought they are actually powered by track power. I have attached a photo of the car on Carlton's layout, powered up. By the way, the train is pulled by my North Pole Express Atlantic that I just finished this week. Like the other cars, this engine uses decals I have produced.

Trent Beachy >Update< Dec. 27, 08.

The latest news on Trent:
"Had a conference with Trent's doctors today and here is the plan.
They want to keep him in the hospital until January 9th (two more weeks) then do out patient therapy until January 16th (another week). He will then be released to come home to Goshen. He will need to continue therapy from here to some facility nearby. We are not sure where yet. His doctor went over his X-rays, MRI and Cat-Scan. Main thing to note is that the swelling has begun to decrease around his spinal chord. His doctors feel that he is doing very well and making a speedy recovery. We are still unclear whether or not his hands will ever come back. It may require months or years until we know for sure but the doctor feels that three weeks is just too soon to start getting discouraged."

Harry Peachy gets face time.

Picture TOM DODGE | Dispatch Assistant curator Harry Peachey gets face time with Phoebe, 21, at the Columbus Zoo. He doesn't think zoo elephants typically die at age 16. "Middle-aged" would best describe most of the 13 elephants at four Ohio zoos. They range in age from 20 to 41 if you don't count two youngsters. Like many other zoos, Columbus also is trying to improve elephant life by having them live in matriarchic groups of grandmothers, mothers, daughters and aunts, as they do in the wild. "In the long run, that may be one of the more significant changes for elephants," said Harry Peachey, assistant curator for the Columbus Zoo. The oldest captive elephant on record lived to be 86, but the norm seems to be in the 40s and 50s, said Peachey, Click here to read more about elephants By Kathy Lynn Gray THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH OHIO USA

Dr. Roger Beachy and Scientist Dr Washington Carver on back to the future.

Linda Young looks over the many plants that George Washington Carver did research on that made him one of our nation’s most innovative scientists. The exhibit at the Missouri History Museum will be on display until March 1st. Photo by Wiley Price

Born in Missouri, Carver could not have known that the state’s largest region would emerge as a critical leader in the plant sciences. Roger Beachy, founding president of the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center in St. Louis, said the researchers at his center are following paths blazed by Carver.
“What Carver did then is actually what we do now, what has come to be known as the greening of the future,” Beachy said. “Carver recognized that we needed to get beyond biofeuls into vital industrial uses of plants and novel industrial products like plastics, fine lubricants, oils, synthetic fibers. There are many ways to go, if you will, back to the future, back to what Dr. Carver taught us then.” Click to read an interesting article By Chris King Of the St. Louis American, St Louis MO.

Post Surgery >>Update<< On Trent Beachy

Dec. 11,08
Good news everyone! we called Creighton University teaching Hospital
this evening to speak with Cathy and check on Trent's progress. To
our surprise she put Trent on the phone. We had a wonderful
conversation with him. He reported that he stood up today and walked
about 20 steps, sat on a chair, and stood with his hands on the back
of a chair. What great news. The big questions now are when he will be released and what kind of therapy he will be on.
>>>>
For those of you who have been following Trent's condition since his accident here is the latest new from his dad. Dec. 10, 08. Rest of Trent's story posted below.
His surgery was 51/2 hours rather then the 31/2 hours that were planned. They fused C-2.3.4.5. The right side of his spine they could do conventional surgery removing broken pieces of bone and putting in a plate. The left side was really broken up so badly they added artificial bone and some of his own bone. Now we will have to wait for the swelling to leave and the healing to take place. The road gets long now. He will need our encouragement and caring. God Bless. Dad

Larry Beachy Summarizes His Family's Thoughts on Global Warming

Picture credit http://la.streetsblog.org/
I promised to summarize the global warming letters that I received.
Basically everyone agreed that we are having global warming. What is
causing it and how to treat it we disagreed upon. Some felt in spite
of best efforts here in North America we can't do anything about it,
because other countries, ( China and Russia and don't forget the
sheep in New Zealand) will keep pouring pollutants into the
atmosphere. So with out saying it we all agree that we need to work
on a global solution. ( The United States has failed to sign the
global agreement to stop pollutants.) Will the reduction in fossil
fuel and lower emissions make a difference? Will better and stronger
environmental laws and controls help?
Here we were divided. Some felt the present government has brought
us to the present conditions, others felt keep the government out of it.
Brad wrote and interesting letter with footnotes backing up his
opinions and a great illustration of thinking on two or three levels
not just the surface. I was going to print his letter but because of
the length of this family letter I will be glad to forward his letter
to anyone who would like to read it.
My take on the issue is that we are witnessing a more than normal
global warming - more than in the past history of the universe. We
can't place blame or give up on trying to do something about it. We
must accept responsibility for being our Brothers keeper and each of
us need to do our part. Good environmental practices are not only
good for the future they are also good for us- now. My parents
admonished me always to try to do good, if you make an error at least
you are trying to do the right thing!

MERRY CHRISTMAS

MEXICO - The University of Missouri announced the new MU Plant Science Research Center Wednesday morning. Local leaders gathered in Mexico where the research center will be built. Connie and Eddie Sydenstricker donated the land for the project. The project will include a new Mexico technology park. Researchers say the opportunity to test new plant technology in the field is why the Mexico facility is crucial.

"It's not good enough to stay in a lab. We have to find a way into the greenhouse and then into a field like the ones behind us. And as we grow those crops we need to be able to take them to a laboratory like this one to test them even further," said Dr. ROGER BEACHY from the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center.

I have finished my memoir A Tear-Stained Letter two months ahead of time. Poetically, during the week of Melinda’s birthday on October 8th. After 7 months of writing, 70,229 words, about 300 to 350 printed pages. My literary agent is excited about the possibility of a ‘sale’ to a publisher soon.
Tear-Stained Letter is one of the most personal things I have ever written and probably will ever write again. My therapist told me early on to write a letter to Melinda as a way to ease the grieving process. I decided to turn that letter into a book, that is why the title.
I have started writing another book, also a memoir. This one deals with having multiple sclerosis and my ability to walk again with the help of a new MS drug called Tysabri (that and many prayers). Click for pictures and more information about Vern on his web site.

Not so, according to HARRY PEACHEY, who has worked at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium for 28 years. He serves as curator of the Mainland Asia region, with its exhibits of flying foxes (giant fruit bats), golden-mantled bats and a variety of felines.

Danforth scientists say they are committed to stamping out global hunger through disease resistant crops that conserve resources.
"They believe in the mission that plant science can improve the human condition," said ROGER BEACHY, president of the center. "This science can help the environment, and food safety, and food abundance."

Sam Beachy, Apple Festival Director, Nappanee ID

"We're excited. It's a great city (Nappanee) to be a part of," says SAM BEACHY, Apple Festival Director.
But the highlight of the weekend for many is a world record-breaker. It's one impressive pastry. It takes 400 pounds of apples and one hundred pounds of dough to create. It's seven foot in diameter and has to cook for 17 hours in the oven before it's ready to be served up. "We have many, many people come and that's the reason they come to say 'I've had a slice of the world's largest apple pie," says Andrews. Click for the full article. Fox 28 - South Bend,IN,USA

Kathryn (Beachy) Lenz

Passed away Sept. 7, 2008, age 91.
Memorial service will be held Oct. 3, 2008 in McMinnville Oregon, at the McMinnville Senior Center, 2250 NE McDaniel Lane, 1:30 pm. Kathryn was the fifth child of William and Mary (Miller) Beachy. Kathryn was well known as a gifted speaker in the church where her father was pastor, in Sheridan Oregon. Here her God given talent really shone during the years of World War II. She spoke words of encouragement to the mothers and wives of the men who were away to war. She believed God would bring them all home safely, and said so many times. God was good and every man from that church returned home safely. Now Kathryn is home walking on streets of gold where she will never grow old. Posted by her brother Glen.

Grandson Jeremy Bags Moose

Jeremy of Smithers BC was lucky and his name was drawn for a Moose tag in northern BC. He was in the right place at the right time to bag the only Moose that was taken on the early hunt. His dad Kurt Saffarek was there backing him up all the way. The weather was warm, so the Moose was quickly hauled home and prepared to hang in the cooler. This is one more Big Game animal for Jeremy to add to his list of successful hunts. Posted by Grandpa Beachy.
