Other Anabaptist groups include the Amish, Mennonites, Brethren, and Hutterites. Anabaptists are neither Catholic nor Protestant, though they are often categorized as a Protestant group by writers unfamiliar with Anabaptist history and doctrine.

Tammy Beachy comments on gas prices.


Fuel analysts think oil prices may have peaked, but AAA says you'll likely have wait more than month to see gas prices drop significantly.
"I know as soon as they go up, it's on the pump, but when it goes down it takes like four or five days to even go down a few cents," driver Tammy Beachy said. And AAA says you'll have to wait longer...."It seems to be a scam you know," Beachy said.

Brenda Beachy and her husband Ed display one of the numerous quilts that will be auctioned off Saturday July 12, at the sixth annual Mission Valley Auction in St. Ignatius MT. Proceeds from the sale will benefit the Amish School in St. Ignatius.
Saturday's auction, which will take place just off Foothills Road just outside St. Ignatius, will also feature a host of other Amish-made products. There'll be Leroy Miller's handcrafted timberframe home, Ed Beachy's garden shed and a gazebo.
You can also bid at live auction for two log-cabin kits, lawn furniture, log beds and furniture, as well as some high-end hardwood furniture.
“Most everything other than the quilts was made right here in the valley,” Ed Beachy said.
The Amish came to the Mission Valley in 1997, led by a handful of families who left another Amish community in Rexford.

Iowa River: The flood may be over, but for those homes and businesses that were touched by the floodwaters, the real work has only begun. Residents, business owners, volunteers and contractors have been working to clean out buildings inundated during the flooding.
Independent organizations, such as the Haven Mennonite Church based in Kalona, also have organized cleanup efforts. TIMOTHY BEACHY, 26, said he has volunteered four days, helping tear out wet carpet, drywall and insulation from the homes of elderly Normandy Drive residents. "They can't get done thanking us, they really appreciate it," Beachy said his church has been helping the area for two weeks and will continue until the work is done. "For a lot of people, if they had to do it themselves, they just couldn't foot it," Click to read the complete article by Tyler O'Neil • Iowa City Press-Citizen • July 8, 2008

Christopher Beachy's "College for Kids"


Picture credit Andrea Johnson/MDN --
Hyla Beachy, 8, tries to find her chorus frog in its habitat. The chorus frog is so small that it disappears easily amid the rocks.
Youngsters had a chance to “own” their very own frogs or salamanders for a few days last week in Christopher Beachy’s “College for Kids” class at Minot State University.
Beachy said he’s having a lot of fun with much younger students than he’s accustomed to teaching. He owes a lot of his animated teaching style to being a dad and his observation of his kids’ elementary teachers. The secret of being successful as a teacher of younger elementary kids is to know how to talk to them and how to tell them to form a line, he said. When he first started coaching his son’s soccer team, he wasn’t as sure of how to teach kids. Click to read complete article by ANDREA JOHNSON, Staff Writer, Minot Daily News, June 21, 2008

LARISA BEACHY


Amanda Maurer, Magaly Estrella, LARISA BEACHY and Beth Zambrano will promote Oscar Mayer for a year by driving a Wienermobile or Lil' Link across the country. The Wienermobile has marketed Oscar Mayer since 1936. The vehicle is a massive model of a hot dog on a bun. It is 27 feet long, 11 feet tall, eight feet wide and weighs about seven tons. Zambrano said each Hot Dogger completes a two-week training program called "Hot Dog High" in Madison, Wis., home to the headquarters of Oscar Mayer. The Hot Doggers learn the history of Oscar Mayer and the Wienermobile and endure more than 40 hours of driver training.
Beachy opened the Wienermobile and showed that the vehicle has seating for six and a faux mustard-splattered walkway. She said the red and yellow theme is "ketchup and mustard inspired." "We're actually going to be traveling to Oregon and northern California," Click for complete article, DesMoinesRegister.com - Des Moines,IA,USA
