Beans with corn??
OK, I've got a couple people trying to convince me to plant green beans along with my corn - they say the runners will run up the corn stalk, and I will be able to pick beans standing up.
Anybody got any experience with that?

Re: Beans with corn??
Man that is old timey. It was partly to give the beans something to climb on and to fix nitrogen to fertilize the corn. That is real pioneer way of doing it. I am 76 and that is before my time.

Actually, it was native Americans who developed that technique.

Re: Beans with corn??
Whoa guys, this way is not that prehistoric ! ! ! We have done this ever since I can remember and I am already set to do it this year with the old time field corn planted already for the beans to run on. As soon as the corn comes up, then I will go back and plant the beans, with a sharp pointed hoe, right next to the corn. Today's hybrid corn stalks are not substantial enough to hold a prolific producer such as the Rattlesnake Pole Beans up, thus the need for the old time field corn. I do not care for the old time field corn to eat, at least not as much as silver queen, but that is what is needed to support the beans. Not only does it work well, but is a time saver in having to stake the beans and run twine to a center wire to support the runners. Just another way of producing more veggies from a smaller area and eliminating a lot of work. Pete
Re: Beans with corn??
I do bush beans.I think the beans would strangle the corn?Hope to plant this weekend,looks like rain though. Today[tues] looks to be the last day day for a while.Kevin

Re: Beans with corn??
Works well. The bean vines do kind of tangle in the corn. Still a common method here in the hills.
Use Kentucky wonder or McCaslin (sp) beans.

Re: Beans with corn??
I don't worry about them strangling the corn, just the fact that they have something to run on. Last year I had two rows of beans and had to stake one wire down each row, then run a center wire between the two rows attached to an eight foot post at each end, and then tie twine at each bean plant for the runners to grab on and climb upward. This took about a half day to do what beans I had, and this was only on two rows about 120 feet long each. I would sacrifice the corn, just to have the stalks. Pete
Re: Beans with corn??
That is the way they used to do it here before the bush variety of beans. As Pete said, saves having to run twine or build trellises of sorts for them to climb on. By using the corn stalks as trellis, when everything is gathered, you just plow it under and don't have to take up the twine to save for next year. Used to plant peas in the corn too, especially the old Whipporwill peas.
Re: Beans with corn??
To be more specific, the corn is silver queen, not field corn. Planted 10 days ago, it is just now peeking through the soil. While I'd like to have a row each of purple hull, butterbean, butterpea, and green beans, in my opinion they are not worth sacrificing one stalk of that delicious silver queen. I don't even know if they make runner varieties for all of those; would have to check.
I swore off planting any kind of bean after last year's back-breaking pickings, but if this method does work at no expense to the corn, I'll go play in the dirt again.
Pete, an inch or two away from the corn?
Thanks for all the advice - still interested in hearing more.

Re: Beans with corn??
Craig, you are right on the distance. That will be excellent, however, I can tell you from experience that the beans will break down the Silver Queen stalks as the beans just get to heavy. That is why I use the old timey field corn, it makes a large, heavy stalk and will support the beans with no problems. Pete
Re: Beans with corn??
On picking purple hull, cream peas, etc. I haven't figured out a way to pick them and not be stooping over all the time. However, on the butter beans and pintos, we do it a little different. On the pintos, we will gather some when they are small for snaps, then wait till the others left have filled out all they are going to, then we go in and pull up the whole plant and pick the beans, throwing the plant down to be turned under. On the butter beans, we wait until they have put on and filled out all they are going to, then we do the same thing, pull up vine and all and pick. The very first butter beans that come on will be dry but they are thrown in a seperate 5 gal. bucket for next years seed, and the good ones are put in another 5 gal. bucket to shell. There is some waste doing it this way, but it saves on the back. Plus, it is a lot of shelling on both the pinto and butter beans at one time, but we go back to the house, wash the beans, and sit on the back porch and shell.
Re: Beans with corn??
I reckon I just have to try it. Talked with my 70+ year old aunt - she says she always does it that way. Only she plants her beans on the outside of the outside corn row, otherwise she says the beans will eventually clog up the path between rows and I won't be able to get to the corn. So, two rows of beans per corn patch.
Throughout the board, many posts advise to ask the local ag folks. I emailed them. Here is his response:
You can plant the beans with the
corn, but the corn should be at least waist high before you plant the
beans. If the corn isn't big enough, the beans can
easily pull the stalks to the ground. I would prefer to grow the beans
on a separate trellis to make picking easier. The beans will jump from
row to row and soon you will have a corn/bean jungle and will have
trouble harvesting anything.
So, I figure if I fail, I'm only out of some bean seed and 4 rows of corn.
Also did some googling on this subject. Apparently, as Don said, the natives started this. In English, it's called "Three Sisters" - using corn, beans, and squash, all planted together.
I'll let ya know how it turns out!
Thanks again.

Re: Beans with corn??
My grandfather did the corn and beans thing far back as I can remember. He planted silver queen with pole beans of some sort. I suspect is was an old variety that was not a prolific producer. Any likely suspects?

An inmate at Dubuque County Jail says he lied in a hearing to help a man convicted of kidnapping.
The inmate testified in a hearing related to the kidnapping sentencing for Scott Robinson. During that hearing the inmate claimed the victim in Robinson's kidnapping trial had told him she lied about what happened.

Debra Winger
Academy Award-nominated Actor
Author of Undiscovered
Humanitarian & Activist
By her own definition, Debra Winger is first, a mother, second, a human rights advocate and environmental activist, and thirdly, an actor. These three facets are all carried off with intensity, fierceness, grace, and good humor. As an actor, her credits include more than twenty films and three Academy Award nominations (An Officer and a Gentleman, Terms of Endearment, and Shadowlands). While Winger has been acknowledged as one of the finest actors of stage and screen, her talents for the articulation of her craft are outmatched only by her elegance of character as mother and emissary. Winger appeared on television as a regular in the 2010 HBO series In Treatment. She played one of Doctor Paul Weston's (Gabriel Byrne) patients, for the show's third season. In 2012 she made her Broadway debut in David Mamet's "Anarchist."
NY Times Sunday Magazine Article
In 2008 she published her debut book Undiscovered (Simon & Schuster), a collection of deeply personal vignettes reflecting on her life. Jim Harrison writes of this book: "Debra Winger's Undiscovered is terse, lucid, raw, and occasionally explosive. As a memoir it resembles absolutely nothing an actress ever wrote. Undiscovered reminded me of that old Zen notion of 'cooking down your life' so you can see what you're eating. This is a tough and rewarding book, beautifully written."
In addition to speaking about her life in film, Winger is also involved with several non-profit humanitarian and social justice organizations, and speaks to the issues they present. Tahirih Justice Center works to protect immigrant women and girls from gender-based violence, such as forced marriage, female genital mutilation, domestic and intimate partner violence, trafficking, torture, and rape. Tahirih works primarily through providing legal services, advocacy, and public education programs. Hand in Hand Center for Jewish-Arab Education in Israel was founded to build peace between Jews and Arabs in Israel through development of bilingual and multi-cultural schools. Students at the schools are taught in both Hebrew and Arabic, learning to treasure their own culture and language while understanding the difference of others around them. Through education for tolerance and socializing in groups with diverse attitudes, Hand in Hand will have a critical effect on the future of Israel. Winger is also an ambassador for Sightsavers International, a non-profit organization that works to combat blindness in developing countries, by providing specialist treatment and eye care. Sightsavers works to cure people who have reversible eye conditions and prevent people from becoming needlessly blind, and to provide people who are irreversibly blind with the skills to live a more independent life through education, counselling, and training.
Winger was the creative consultant for the film GASLAND, which won the Special Jury Prize at Sundance, about the Natural Gas drilling boom in the United States and its terrifying influence on the environment and the health of humans and animals. An activist for other environmental causes, Winger has also attended the EPA hearings in DC.
View the GASLAND trailer
Winger's arrival to acting was the culmination of a route greatly different than those of her contemporaries. As a teenager she spent some time in Israel. Upon returning to the United States, she was involved in a serious accident that left her in a coma and temporarily blind. During her recovery, Winger thought long and hard about where her life was going, and decided that, upon recuperating, she would become an actress. With this deliberate action, Winger travelled from commercials to the television series, "Wonder Woman," to an acclaimed career in film, (Urban Cowboys, The Sheltering Sky, Legal Eagles, Black Widow, and more). She has consequently become one of the beloved actors of our time.
Gradually though, Winger came to understand her values—that superficiality is corrosive, that self-worth doesn't come with a number, and that freedom will always be an essential component of human happiness—and appreciate them as parallel to the principles of countless generations but directly opposite the priorities of the modern, western world. In 1995, at another deliberate crux in her life and career, Winger left acting and—holding to her commitment of walking her talk—did not look back. She later told the UK's Guardian newspaper that "nothing quite compares with the sense of liberation I felt. It stays with me: I am happy and I am free."
Such was the impact of Winger's absence from Hollywood that when Rosanna Arquette directed her documentary about the pressures faced by aging actresses in an industry which seems to provide fewer and fewer roles for women beyond their twenties, she entitled it Searching For Debra Winger.
Fortunately, Winger is not entirely finished with film as medium. Married now to director Arliss Howard, and in the midst of raising three sons, she manages to find the time for the screen again; and she approaches it with more radiance, zeal, and "plucky intelligence" than ever before. While filming Big Bad Love, her first movie in ten years (produced by Winger and directed by Howard who also co-stars), Winger said, "I'm in tune with something now, doing this [movie] and exploring the possibility of playing women over 40 without facial surgery! I don't know if there's a market for it—but I'm interested in it." In 2008, she returned to the screen, to great acclaim, in Johnathon Demme's film, Rachel Getting Married. Looking ahead, Winger hopes Hollywood as a whole will strive to tell more stories about older women. "I don't know what the aversion is—I'm so proud of the fact that I've lived through most of what I've lived through!" Winger appeared on television as a regular in the 2010 HBO series In Treatment. She played one of Doctor Paul Weston's (Gabriel Byrne) patients, for the show's third season.
AUTHOR OF UNDISCOVERED (Memoir, 2008)
In this lyrical, deeply personal book, the beloved, three-time Oscar-nominated actress Debra Winger reveals how she has drawn on her creative talents to transform a successful career into a fulfilling life. Known for her indelible, Oscar-caliber performances in such films as Terms of Endearment, An Officer and a Gentleman, and Urban Cowboy, Winger demonstrates that her creative range extends from screen to page, giving us an intimate glimpse of an artist wide-ranging in her gifts. Undiscovered is a book about transformations—personal, artistic, spiritual. Here, Winger passionately makes her case for forging a life beyond acting, lived among the people who inspire her—and shows how she has done just that. This is her first book.

Austin-Based Theatre Collective Rude Mechs' Stop Hitting Yourself Premieres Off-Broadway at LCT3
By Andrew Gans
The LCT3/Lincoln Center Theater world-premiere presentation of Stop Hitting Yourself, which was created by Rude Mechs, the Austin, TX-based theatre collective, begins previews Jan. 15 at the Claire Tow Theater.
Commissioned by LCT3, the play is written by Kirk Lynn and directed by Shawn Sides. Opening night is scheduled for Jan. 27; performances will continue through Feb. 23.
The cast features Thomas Graves, Heather Hanna, Joey Hood, Hannah Kenah, Lana Lesley, E. Jason Liebrecht and Paul Soileau.
Here's how the 90-minute production is billed: "Part Pygmalion, part Busby Berkeley, part self-help lexicon, Stop Hitting Yourself borrows from the plots of 1930's musicals to dig deep into the contemporary conservative dilemma: how to honor steely individualism without disavowing the virtue of charity -- all the while tap-dancing around a queso fountain.
"Once a year, at the Charity Ball, a single worthy cause is chosen to benefit from the Queen's Annual Good Deed. Prominent families compete to find citizens deserving of assistance. This year, a Socialite has discovered a Wildman in the forest and tries to improve him. The Wildman's desire to save the natural world and usher in an era of love and harmony is a sure-winner. Now the Socialite must teach him how to eat, dance and behave in society so that his cause can be victorious."
Rude Mechs productions seen previously Off- Broadway include Method Gun and Dionysus in 69.
The production has sets by Mimi Lien, costumes by Emily Rebholz, lighting by Brian H Scott and original music and sound by Graham Reynolds.
Show times are Monday at 7 PM, Wednesday-Sunday at 7 PM with matinees Saturday and Sunday at 2 PM.
Tickets, priced at $20, are available at the Lincoln Center Theater box office, telecharge.com or by visiting lct3.org.

My family and I have decided to respond to the horrific shootings in Newtown, Connecticut this past Friday in the following three ways:
First, we are going to pray for the people of Newtown. Psalm 34;18 says that "The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and He rescues those who are crushed in spirit." So we will be asking the Lord to bring hope and healing to the grieving families in Newtown this Christmas. We will also be praying for the first responders, students and teachers who witnessed things they should never have seen. We are asking God to give them strength and peace.
Secondly, because of this tragedy we are determined to reach out to our neighbors more, not less, this holiday season. In light of such evil it would be tempting for us to lock our doors and stay away from everyone except family and our closest friends. Yet, it is precisely at times like this that we need to remind each other that we are not alone and that we need each other. Who knows what impact a friendly greeting or word of encouragement can have on someone else's life?
Finally, in our house we are going to be more intentional about giving each other hugs and saying "I love you" every chance we get. Tragedies such as this remind us how precious life is and that we dare not take tomorrow for granted.
These are just three simple ideas, but we're hoping that by sharing them with you, together we can make a big difference.

Although Connecticut Huskies coach Jim Calhoun took an indefinite leave of absence on February 3 after being diagnosed with spinal stenosis, he is already planning to return as soon as possible.
According to Andy Katz of ESPN, Calhoun -- who has beaten cancer and overcome stomach conditions as well -- views this medical issue as just another minor setback to overcome. Calhoun indicated that his pain has abated somewhat thanks to medication.
Calhoun said that he has appointments in Boston and New York to get further MRI testing on his back. Those results will decide what the correct course of treatment should be before any decisions are made on how long he will be gone from the team and program.
"It's something I've got to get through," Calhoun said. "I don't think it changes my mind one way or another about next year or the next two years. I just want to get the pain gone from down my leg so I can walk right. Getting onto planes and coaching -- I can't do that right now."
If there's one thing that no one can dispute, it's Calhoun's proven toughness and determination over the years. He is adamant that he is not in danger of needing to retire and plans to be back sooner, rather than later.

CATEGORIES MoviesMoviefone's New Release of the Week "John Dies at the End" What's It About? The cult comic horror novel -- about twenty-something slackers who discover an inter-dimensional invasion occurring through the use of a psychoactive drug -- gets a film adaptation that's just as trippy as the story on the page. See It Because: If you're looking for a midnight movie then you'll be hard pressed to do better than the pedigree attached to this one (Paul Giamatti co-stars and the film is directed by Don "Phantasm" Coscarelli)

INDIANAPOLIS, IN. (October 23, 2012) – While the IndyCar Series season has come to its conclusion, Panther Racing's efforts with Hiring Our Heroes continues at a 230 mph pace. After a year in which Panther hosted local employers at each domestic IndyCar event for a program on how to combat Veteran unemployment, the team now focuses on reaching parts of the country where IndyCar doesn't host races. These non-race events, called BOSS LIFTS – where employers fly in on military aircraft from other states to experience the employment program – started in May as a supplement to Panther's at-track effort and is now set to expand during the offseason.
"People thank us all the time for everything Panther has done for these Soldiers, but I respond the same way every time: We haven't done enough," Panther Managing Partner and CEO John Barnes said. "There are still an unbelievable number of National Guard Soldiers unemployed, and we've got to work even harder to do what we can to fight that."
Last Friday, a group of 50 employers and leaders from New York flew into Indianapolis to participate in the program. Upon arrival in Indy, the employers arrived at Panther's headquarters to find an entourage of military vehicles and displays set up to help demonstrate the level of equipment the Soldiers are dealing with when they are deployed and have to be away from their civilian jobs. They also sat through Panther's emotional hour-long program to help continue the education of why hiring Guardsmen isn't just the right thing to do, it's the smart thing to do for their businesses.
"Why is this important? It's about jobs," Brigadier General Kevin Bradley, Assistant Adjutant General for the New York National Guard, said. "Flat out, we know we have great Soldiers. And as they come back from deployment many times they find that they are under-employed or because of the economy they've experienced a job loss. We've got to find the connective tissue between great civilian partnerships and the Veterans. We really appreciate the partnership with Panther Racing, in collaboration with ESGR, for the opportunity for New York to come out here and experience this great facility."
Panther's mission is clear: educate employers as to why hiring Veterans makes good business sense and make the connection between the local business community and local National Guard leadership. But one thing has been very clear amongst the employers who have participated in Panther's program that have already hired Soldiers: The investment is worth its weight in gold.
"This is the lowest risk investment you can make in your workforce," Aeon Nexus executive partner Omar Usmani declared when asked about hiring Veterans. "Imagine the investment our government puts into each of these individuals to make them into the best fighting force the world has ever seen. These (Soldiers) are trained to make the best out of the best. That's not an investment I take lightly, it's something I take advantage of. We're not just helping them; we're helping ourselves."
Usmani sentiments were echoed throughout the season as Panther and representatives from Hiring Our Heroes engaged with employers about their experiences with Veterans in their workforce. The same has been heard throughout the country as the US Chamber of Commerce hosts hiring fairs throughout the year, with a goal of hosting 400 in 2012 alone. To date, Hiring Our Heroes has helped secure more than 10,400 jobs for Veterans and their spouses.
A heavy rain during Friday's event cancelled the two-seater IndyCar rides that were scheduled at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, but that didn't keep some of New York's top employers off the racetrack. A fleet of pace cars were rolled out, and while the guests may have missed on a 200 mph two-seater ride, a run around Indy's historic 2.5-mile oval at 140 mph – in a driving rain – provided the type of thrill you can only experience around the world's greatest racecourse.
Panther driver JR Hildebrand, the 2011 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year, made a trip back from California to speak with the employers as well. Hildebrand, preparing to enter his third year as the National Guard driver, has experienced what the Soldiers go through on a daily basis, both at home and when deployed. He's visited both Army and Air Guard bases, been on multiple VA Hospital visits and heard first-hand about the highs and lows the Soldiers experience.
"I always compare it to the NFL Draft when you hear all the people on ESPN talk about all the intangible qualities that some of the players bring – stuff like leadership, work ethic and a lot of what all employers want – that's the foundation of what makes Soldiers in the National Guard great at what they do," Hildebrand said. "
And throughout the country, employers have no problem answering the all-important question: When you hire a National Guard Soldier, what are you getting?
"It's what you want an employee to be," Michael Keegan, Senior VP of M&T Bank, said. "It's all the things you would assume; great leadership, they know how to get the job done, disciplined, focused, respectful. (Today) I walked into Panther Racing and was hit with a presentation that is, frankly, overwhelming. When you think about the statistics of Veterans – homelessness, unemployment – it's an embarrassment. This was an enlightening presentation that was well put together. It shows that the private sector and the military can and should really work together."
The military leadership who train these Soldiers know their attributes, and the message is starting to make its way to employers.
"You know what you're getting when you hire a Guardsmen," GEN Bradley continued. "First and foremost, they have a proven track record of excellence. They show up to work every day, they've been under stress and performed very well. (Soldiers have) a sense of service, and have put the service of their Nation above other things that maybe they could have gone off and done. You've got somebody that's got integrity … selflessness, and teamwork and somebody that's committed to excellence. What more could you ask for?"
Usmani was even more direct in his appraisal.
"It's like buying gold," he said of employing Veterans.

Welcome to Earth! It's a planet having an iron core, with two-thirds of its surface covered by water.
Earth orbits a local star called the Sun, the light of which generates the food supply for all the millions of species of life on earth.
The dominant species on Earth is the human being, and you're one of the six billion of them! Humans have iron in their blood, and their bodies are composed of two-thirds water, just like the planet they live on.
The physical composition of the Earth, its people and everything on it contains an electro-magnetic field which is not yet fully understood.
Theories and legends about the origin of Earth, people and life itself abound, however they are not commonly discussed. The bulk of earth's people spend their time immersed in daily activities, leaving the big questions for later.
"Who are we? Where did we come from? Where are we going? How will we get there?"
Many religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions over the years, but so far none has given an answer that everyone on the planet can accept.
In contrast to all the disagreement, the similarities among people on earth are far, far greater than any differences.
Welcome again to Earth! Enjoy your stay, and try to stay calm.

I love CrunchBang Linux. In my opinion, it's one of the best distributions of Linux for older computers (heck, any computer) that is actively developed. I pieced together a Gateway M250 laptop a year or so ago (3 bad ones parted out into 1 good one) and loaded it up with max RAM (2GB). It's now a handy little 14 inch laptop with a 1.73Ghz single core Centrino processor. Not bad…but when playing videos or streaming them, it can really … Continue Reading →

Winchester 10k race could be wettest yet
Updated 1:58pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in Sport By Peter Howard, Sports Reporter
THIS year's Winchester 10k race is set to be the wettest in history, after the organisers gave the event go ahead.
Horrendous weather that has battered Hampshire in the past few weeks has seen countless sports events postponed.
But somehow this one has defied all odds.
The relatively good drainage at North Walls Recreation Ground, where the run starts on Sunday, has meant that Fiona Hoggarth, the operations manager at Concept Sport, could give the green light.
She said: "It will certainly be the wettest ever run but it will go ahead and I'm impressed how well the park has coped with the downpour.
"We had numerous site visits and a course assessment will take place on Saturday and and alternative course may be in place taking into account the current flood closures."
A different route could be established to avoid a flood on Springvale Road but a decision is still yet to be made about that, with the local council due to be contacted regarding the issue. Five hundred competitors have already entered and it is expected there will be 150 more that turn up on the day – still down on the 800 that ran last year.
The course travels around Winchester City's ground on Hillier Way before continuing along Worthy Road, Well House Road – and then a long straight along Andover Road. Last year Alex Dunbar from Norwich claimed top prize with a 31 minutes 56 seconds run. Local runners Owen Hind (33.19) and Tom Stevens (33.53) of Eastleigh Running Club finished third and fifth respectively with Winchester & District's Phillip Bernsten (34.47) in sixth.
Winchester's Natalie Cain was the top ranked female athlete in fourth after her 40 minutes 51 seconds run in freezing conditions. Up to date information will be accessible on conceptsport.co.uk and entries will be accepted on the day at River Park Leisure Centre from 8.30am to 10.20am.

Police say a mother left her baby girl of less than a year old inside a hot car for nearly 45 minutes. Tonight, that mother is being questioned at police Special Victims Unit. Meanwhile, we're happy to report that the baby girl is doing fine.
On a day when temperatures hit the mid-80's, a frantic discovery for some stunned Wal-Mart customers on the 9700 block of Roosevelt Boulevard: a crying baby girl was locked in a hot car, alone.
"The baby was screaming and the doors were closed and the windows were closed," says Ekremah Yaghnam.
Ekremah Yaghnam took a video as fellow customers surrounded the car to help. He says one man pounded on the windows to free the girl and another good Samaritan called 911.
"The guy started trying to break into the windows and the doors to pick up the girl. And the fire truck came to try to open the door," recalls Ekremah Yaghnam of Northeast Philadelphia.
Police and fire crews descended on the parking lot as the child's parents emerged. Witnesses say the father went shopping first and left the daughter and her mother in the car. But the mother decided to shop as well.
When the mother came out of the store, she was greeted by police.
"That's sad. I was crying for the baby," says Nimeh Yaghnam.
Shoppers, many of them parents themselves, say they can't believe what they saw.
"I said, 'oh my God. Thank you God.' I never leave my kids in the car. I always protect my kids. I would never let this happen to my kid," says Nimeh Yaghnam, a mother.
Paramedics checked out the little girl at the scene. Police say she is fine.
Jasmin Ingram, the mother of the girl, has been charged on Wednesday with endangering the welfare of her child.
Mayor Michael Nutter says the city is already planning a celebration to honor the Dragons in the near future.

Thomas E. Cronin, president of Whitman College, praised Seachris as an "enormously dedicated and hard-working coach who has touched the lives of hundreds of Whitman athletes over the past generation."
Cronin said Seachris, 62, will continue his work as athletic director on a "year-to-year basis for the near future."
"The athletic department has enjoyed one of its best years ever," Cronin noted. "The men's and women's ski teams are national champions, the men's and women's cross country teams won Northwest Conference championships, and the men's and women's basketball teams both earned playoff berths. The men's lacrosse team won its conference championship, and the men's and women's swim teams captured more individual honors at regionals and nationals than at any time in recent memory."
Seachris, a native of Touchet, Wash., began coaching youth baseball in the 1950s, prior to his graduation from Whitman. He played both basketball and baseball for four years at Whitman, and he was an all-conference pitcher his final two seasons at the college. His coaching career, which spanned 42 years, included nearly two decades as a teacher, principal and coach at Touchet and Prescott high schools. He led Prescott to a state football title in 1975 and a second-place finish the next year.
Seachris joined the Whitman faculty in the fall of 1977 as an associate professor of physical education, head baseball coach and assistant men's basketball coach. He has served as Whitman athletic director for the past 12 years. With his coaching career at an end, Seachris said he wants to focus more time as athletic director on Whitman's transition from NAIA Division II to NCAA Division III.
"Coaching young people is something I have enjoyed tremendously, but my biggest concern right now is our move to NCAA," Seachris said. "This a very important time for our athletic program. There is a great deal of work that needs to be done over the next few years as part of the transition."
Seachris coached his final baseball game when Whitman concluded its 1995 spring season against Linfield College in McMinnville, Ore. Linfield's coach, Scott Carnahan, presented Seachris with a commemorative plaque from all conference baseball coaches.
"For me it was a very emotional and sad day, and I think it was for Max, too," Carnahan said. "I've really enjoyed my association with Max. He's been one of my mentors, and he's been a leader for years in our group of coaches."
Carnahan said Seachris was known for fielding baseball teams that were both competitive and classy. "The guys who played for Max always played hard, and they always had an air of class about them. They were an extension of their coach. Max is a great competitor, but he also feels that athletics should be a positive experience, and that sportsmanship is important. His players followed his example."
"I don't think you judge the success of an athletic program by wins or losses," Carnahan added. "It has a lot to do with the value of the educational experience, and in that regard the guys who played for Max were richly rewarded."
His former players agree.
"I have nothing but positive memories of playing for Coach Seachris," said Joe Beatty, who graduated last year after earning all-conference honors as a shortstop in his final two seasons. "Granted, we didn't win any national titles, but Coach Seachris taught us lessons about life, not just about baseball. We were always learning, always having fun."
Beatty, who lives in Helena, Montana, said Seachris instilled in his players the "mentality of ballplayers. We loved the game. We played hard, and we had a great time."
Beatty, a member services counselor for Triple-A of Montana, said he and his teammates often contrasted Seachris and his low-key coaching style with the demeanor of coaches at larger schools that placed a heavier emphasis on winning. "We played against coaches who yelled and screamed constantly at their players. Those guys weren't having any fun. They weren't ballplayers. For them, it was just a job."
Chris Luttges, a two-time all-conference third baseman who graduated in 1985, said that he, too, is "really happy I played for Max. He always scheduled the tougher schools, the bigger schools, which created a challenge for us. He gave us opportunities to compete at a higher level, but he made sure we had fun doing it."
Luttges, the marketing manager of an insurance company in Denver, Colo., said players remember Seachris as a "good coach who also was a good friend and a good person. We carried our relationship outside of baseball and into the rest of our lives. He's the kind of guy you want to go back and see ten years after you've graduated. You remember Max as one of your most popular teachers."
James Anderson, an all-conference pitcher and shortstop who graduated in 1989, also appreciated Seachris's willingness to go head-to-head against larger schools. "We knew we were outmanned at times, although we never used that as an excuse," Anderson said. "We still expected to beat the Central Washingtons and the Whitworths, the schools with football programs that attracted a greater number of athletes. Max told us we had to go out there and scrap for our victories. It was the bigger schools that could rely on their talent alone."
Anderson, now an employee benefits consultant for a Seattle firm, said Seachris also paid attention to his players as people and made allowances for Whitman's academic demands, setting up a tutoring program that enabled seniors to help younger teammates.
"Max and I had a special relationship," Anderson said. "There were no special favors, but he gave me opportunities. He made me feel like I was important. Sometime you get lucky in life and find yourself surrounded by good people. For me, Max Seachris was one of those good people."

An intern getting on the job training in the pharmacy at CVS was arrested for allegedly stealing prescription drugs, according to Lee County Sheriff's Office reports.
John Arthur Blair was working at the CVS at 1350 Lee Boulevard as an intern in training when he was told he would be terminated from the store and the program because he missed several days of work, reports said.
When he went to the pharmacy to discuss his termination, he was questioned about missing prescription drugs, reports said.
Blair allegedly admitted to taking drugs from the pharmacy, reports said.
Inside a Walmart bag, deputies found codeine syrup, a bottle of alprazolam, a bottle of Intuniv, two Diazepam tablets, acetaminophen/hydrocodone tablets and Dronabinol tablets.
Blair was arrested and charged with three counts of possessing controlled substance without a prescription and trafficking opium or derivative – 4 grams to 30 kg.
