James Peachey -- Lancaster PA

By JACK BRUBAKER, StaffLancaster Newspapers - Lancaster,PA,USA
The Lancaster Stockyards' old calf barn — or at least the best of what remains of the building — is going to Myerstown, Lebanon County.
The rest of the deteriorating remnants of what once was the largest stockyards east of Chicago will be carted away and ground into mulch.
A group of Amish from the Myerstown area spent today tearing out rafters, sideboards and anything else of value from one of the stockyards' largest buildings.
"We'll use it to build schools, or whatever," said James Peachey, a member of the volunteer force that used Zook's Welding equipment to rip into the sprawling barn that once held thousands of calves, sheep and goats.

By Marc Strauss,
The first thing you notice about the Tremont Turks is the size of their offensive line. The Turks have two hogs, Josh Marron and TRAVIS BEACHY, who weigh over 260 pounds. And a third, in Justin Martin, whose not far behind. All that beef should put some muscle into the Tremont rushing attack. "We love to run the ball," said senior running back Austin Jenkins. " We’ve got the big line and we’ve got the big running backs. That’s what we’ve done the past three years and that’s what we stick to."But according to senior lineman Travis Beachy the Turks they also run out of necessity.

By Jeff Smith | Published Wednesday, Aug. 20, 2008 San Diego Reader - San Diego,CA,USA

He spoke at the Olympic Club in San Francisco, May 12, 1913. “Death was always my opponent,” said Lincoln Beachey at a celebration in his honor, “and I gave tremendous odds.” -- One became known as the “dip of death.” From 5000 feet, Beachey shot straight down and pulled out at the last second. Twenty-two pilots died trying to imitate the maneuver. Shortly before he spoke at the Olympic Club, newspapers called Beachey “the Pacemaker of Death” — and accused him of murder.

In my conversation with Phil we decided the Beachys may have inherited a gene that sparks the interest in airplanes and flying. It may have started back with Lincoln Beachey making history with his flying exhibitions, drawing the largest crowds in history in his day.

Autumn Beachy---Updated Sept. 4, 08

Fort Wayne Journal Gazette - Fort Wayne,IN,USA Published: August 8, 2008 6:00 a.m.
DeKalb junior AUTUMN BEACHY was 12th at the state meet, clocking in at 19:06.08. She has even loftier goals for 2008, coach Rowland Perez said.

“Autumn is going to come out of the gate real hard,” said Perez, whose team finished 13th at state. “She’s really put in a good summer. I think last year was a huge confidence booster for her to get 12th at state. She’s already talking about top 10, if not better, and breaking 18 minutes. She ran 18:30 last year in the first 5K for girls. For as small as she is, she’s one of the toughest girls I’ve ever had. She just does everything she’s supposed to and then some just to make sure she gets it done. She’s going to be our front runner.” Click here for the complete story by Stacy Clardie The Journal Gazette

Beachy Amish

Bethel College News - North Newton,KS,USA, August 8, 2008 by Melanie Zuercher

NORTH NEWTON, KAN. – Laura Camden has been fascinated by Amish and Mennonites from a young age. But it was her journalistic curiosity that finally led her into a particular kind of Mennonite world.

At about the same time as Camden was doing her master’s thesis work, so was another UT-Austin graduate student named Susan Gaetz, who had chosen to focus on the BEACHY AMISH community in Lott, Texas. Later, Gaetz and Camden got together to try and publish a book of their photos, which was eventually taken on by Texas A&M University Press, originally as part of the “Texas Photography” series but ultimately within the Sam Rayburn Series on Rural Life.
