Dave Beachy 4 Quartet

The Beachy family has lived in Meade, Kansas for the past 11 years, owning and operating the Budget Host Moon Mist Motel. The family consists of Dave, Maggie, and the four children; Reddie 20, Eddie 17, D.J. 6 and Susie 3. When we first started going to the Philippines the main purpose was to visit Maggie's relatives, of which there are many. Each year we visited we would make friends with more of the families in the area, especially the children. My favorite thing to do was sitting on a stump with my guitar singing old time Sunday School songs and the kids would come from everywhere to join. We then invited several to go with us to a local Baptist church and discovered that the children were eager to attend Sunday School and learn about Jesus. Click here to read Dave's web site.

Jessi Beachey Scored 35 Points

MOUNT PLEASANT -- JESSI BEACHEY scored 35 points for the Iowa Wesleyan College women's basketball team Saturday, but the Tigers' Midwest Collegiate Conference semifinal game against St. Ambrose came down to four shots at the free-throw line in the game's waning moments.
"It came down to those free throws. Finally got those all down," said BEACHEY, who was one point away from tying the school's single-game record. "We worked on them the last couple days in practice pretty hard so I'm glad they finally paid off."

Family Friend, Carol Beachy's Letter About Nate's Passing

Many people, in some way or form, have had their lives affected by cancer, themselves directly, or though a loved one or friend. We just don’t expect the individual to be so young as 7-year-old Nate Elfrink. Nate was in a battle with a brain tumor that could no longer be fought and his fight ended early Friday morning. Family friend CAROL BEACHY sent out an e-mail to let people know of Nate’s passing and it read:
Continue to pray for our dear friends, the Elfrinks and the extended family. Nate passed on from this life to his eternal home with Jesus Christ. God has used Nate to touch so many people in this world. I pray that I can be as positive as he was.
Everyone who cared and prayed for Nate, can take solace in the fact that his days of suffering are at least over now. CAROL BEACHY summed up this tragedy best when contacted this morning about young Nate. “These things happen in life and we need to keep the faith to have the strength to keep on going,” said Carol.

Titus Peachey Backyard Peacebuilding

Harrisonburg: EMU hosts peacebuilding conference When 60 students were asked to name problems they want solved, answers included environmental, immigration and criminal justice reform and eliminating genocide, human trafficking and racism. “Backyard Peacebuilding: Cultivating Peace In Our Neighborhoods” was the 2010 theme for the conference - an annual gathering organized by students from Mennonite schools for more than 60 years.
The conference ended with some hands-on work: students assisted TITUS PEACHEY and Luke Schrock-Hurst, of Mennonite Central Committee, in folding towels for kits containing supplies for shipment to Haiti.

Roger Beachy Different Upbringing Than Most of His Scientific Colleagues

There are some camps who saw the appointment of BEACHY as a “win for Big Ag”, because of his research and background in biotechnology. After all, he pioneered plant transgenics and, in 1987, developed the first transgenic food crop, a tomato resistant to virus infection. One columnist even called BEACHY “the public face of Monsanto’s research efforts.”

They couldn’t be further from the truth.

BEACHY was raised in rural Ohio and Indiana in the Amish and Mennonite faiths (his father, who was raised Amish and left school in eighth grade, actually went back to school and then college after having his four children). And BEACHY received his bachelor’s degree at the liberal arts, Mennonite-based Goshen College in Indiana, and has served on the Mennonite Central Committee.
“It was a different kind of upbringing than what most of my scientific colleagues have had,” BEACHY said. Click here for the article by Susan Crowell Wednesday, February 24, 2010 in Farm and Dairy and listen to interviews with Roger Beachy

Ben Beachy, Witness for Peace

Ben Beachy, an independent educator working for Witness for Peace, was working in Nicaragua when these programs were enacted.
Haiti's debt to western organizations impedes rebuilding efforts.
"Just after pledging $201 million of debt relief for Nicaragua, the IMF has also promised to reactivate its stalled economic program with the country, meaning a new IMF loan package of about $100 million," BEACHY said in an interview with commondreams.org.
This is common, neoliberal double-speak. They first allow for the cancellation of a debt that was clearly never going to be diminished any time soon, and replaced it with another loan that the country cannot afford. Click for more information.

Autumn Beachy Baron Senior Guard

Northrop refused to go away, though. Midway through the third quarter, Sherrill took a dish from Paige Wright (three points, four rebounds, two assists, two steals) to pull Northrop to within 30-29. But BEACHY (nine points, three assists) made one of her two steals on the night and hit a lay-in to maintain the DeKalb advantage
“This is the first time that we've won a sectional game since I've been here,” Baron senior guard AUTUMN BEACHY said. “We're so excited to be in the championship game.” “We know how to be confident and poised with the ball,” BEACHY said of how her team won. “We're experienced; we're veterans so we know what to do.” Click for more By Tom Davis of The News-Sentinel Fortwayne.com

Christopher Beachy Biology Professor

MINOT STATE UNIVERSITY BIOLOGY PROFESSOR CHRISTOPHER BEACHY didn't want the second annual DarwinDay to be a boring science lecture attended only by "science dorks" because even science dorks won't go to those
BEACHY said that biology department professors intend to make DarwinDay a signature event for the campus and see it as a good way to get high school students to the campus. The university invited high school science teachers from across the region to DarwinDay. On Friday morning there were high school students from Minot High School-Central Campus and Stanley High School in the audience and there was a seminar planned in the afternoon for high school science teachers on how to teach the theory of evolution in the classroom. This year's events were bigger than last year's, when there was only a birthday cake for DarwinDay. BEACHY hopes to keep making it a big day.

45 Days and Still Fresh

Image shows three sets of tomatoes. The ordinary control tomatoes (extreme left) soften and shrivel up, while texture of gene-silenced tomatoes remains intact for up to 45 days. Photo credit: Asis Datta, Subhra Chakraborty, national Institue of plant Genome Researc, New Delhi Plant biologists in India have discovered two previously unknown genes that are involved in fruit ripening and shut them down to create what might be the world’s longest-lasting tomatoes. The tomatoes developed at the National Institute of Plant Genome Research (NIPGR), New Delhi, can retain their firmness and texture for up to 45 days without refrigeration, compared with ordinary tomatoes that shrink and lose texture in about 15 days.
Scientists who were not associated with the research say it appears promising. “The work is somewhat unique ... the team led by Datta attacked a different ripening pathway,” said ROGER BEACHY, a leading plant biotechnologist and the director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture in the US. “I hope this work is followed up with studies to determine if the technology will help reduce post-harvest losses to other valuable crops and enhance food supply that will help feed a growing population,” BEACHY told The Telegraph.
