Marcus Manny Memorial Garden to be dedicated
August 25, 2010
Categories: Football News, General News, Athletics News
As a permanent reminder and a loving tribute, the Marcus Manny memorial garden will be dedicated on Saturday, Sept. 25. Manny, 23, was a Tabor College senior and football player when he was tragically killed in an automobile accident on Feb. 22, 2009 near Tonkawa, Okla. He was the son of Roland and Patricia Miranda.
The memorial garden, located on the west side of the Campus Recreation Center, leads toward the football stadium. It is a path taken regularly by many Tabor athletes, staff members, supporters and students.
Like Manny, the garden will touch the lives of many Tabor students for years to come. President Jules Glanzer reflected on the young athlete’s life and his impact on campus. “Marcus was a likable student who had a wide range of friendships on campus,” Glanzer added. “His fun-loving and inspirational personality impacted so many of our students.”
During his college football career he played in 27 games for the Bluejays, made 62 of 82 extra-point attempts, and 16 of 34 field goal attempts, with a career-long field goal of 41 yards. He earned Honorable Mention All-KCAC honors in the 2009 season.
The memorial garden includes a number of benches, trees and a few of his favorite scriptures incorporated into the landscape of the garden.
The dedication will be held at 6:15 on Saturday, Sept. 25 prior to the Friends University football game. In case of rain will be held inside the CRC gym
History Made Kendrick Drafted by the Detroit Tigers
June 16, 2010
Categories: General News, Athletics News
History was made Wednesday afternoon as Tabor College senior catcher Tyson Kendrick (Arkansas City, Kan.) was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 49th round of the 2010 Major League Baseball draft.
Kendrick, who is the first Bluejay baseball player to be drafted in school history, was one of 39 NAIA players, and two KCAC players to be taken in this year’s draft.
“This is an opportunity that every kid growing up dreams about” said Kendrick. “I am truly blessed to have the opportunity to play professional baseball. Coach Standiford has been a great coach who has helped me become the player I am today, and I would like to thank him, my teammates, and my family and friends for all their support they have given me throughout my career.”
Kendrick who was named Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference Baseball Player of the Year, as well as Tabor College Male Athlete of the Year recorded one of the most impressive single season performances in school history.
“There is not a more deserving player than Tyson,” said Head Baseball Coach Mark Standiford. “His work ethic, leadership qualities, and athletic ability will allow him to succeed at the next level. He is the first player at Tabor to be drafted and hopefully the first of many.”
This past season Kendrick, a First Team All-KCAC performer, led the KCAC and the Bluejays in batting average at .441, on base percentage at .521, hits with 71, and doubles with 19. He also led the Bluejays in slugging percentage at .634, ranking him third in the KCAC, and RBI’s with 52, ranking him second in the KCAC.
“Tyson was our leader both on and off the field,” said Standiford. “The numbers he put up this year and the honors that he has received have never been done here at Tabor. We will all be following Tyson closely this year. He is the kind of player who will represent Tabor well both on and off the field.”
“We could not be more excited for Tyson,” said Vice-President for Athletics Rusty Allen. “In many ways, Tyson’s accomplishments mirror a baseball program that has become something we are very proud of. We will follow Tyson closely and believe that not only will Tyson be successful on the field, but that God will be using him to have a positive influence on all whom he comes into contact with.”
Kendrick will leave this week for Orlando, Fla. where he will take part in a rookie training camp before being sent to Short Season A, or Rookie Ball.

Tabor College utility infielder and relief pitcher Paul Bridenbaugh (Peoria, Ariz.) has signed a contract to continue his playing career with the Sioux City Explorers of the Independent Professional Baseball Federation.
Bridenbaugh is the second Bluejay this season to earn a professional contract along with fellow teammate Tyson Kendrick.
“I am really excited and blessed to get the opportunity to continue my playing career,” said Bridenbaugh. “I would like to thank my coaches, teammates, friends, and family for all their support and help in getting me to where I am today.”
This past season Bridenbaugh earned First Team All-KCAC honors, as both a utility player and relief pitcher. At the plate Bridenbaugh tied Kendrick during the regular season in batting average at .441, while finishing second on the team and in the KCAC for total hits with 67. He also finished third on the team in home runs with five, and was fourth on the team in RBI’s with 38, ranking him 10th in the KCAC in both categories.
As a relief pitcher and the Bluejays closer, Bridenbaugh recorded a 4-1 record with four saves and a .377 ERA in 18 appearances this season. In 31 innings pitched, he allowed 13 earned runs on 27 hits with 10 strikeouts, while holding opposing batters to a .235 batting average. His four saves were also tied for first in the KCAC this season.
“Paul has made the most improvement of any player at Tabor, and is well deserving of the chance to play for Sioux Falls,” said Head Baseball Coach Mark Standiford. “He is truly a double threat both on the mound and as a position player.
“To have two players get a chance to play professional baseball off of our team is truly special. We will all be following Paul closely this year, and I know he is the kind of player that will represent Tabor well both on and off the field.”
“Paul’s hard work and competitive spirit continue to pay off,” said Vice-President for Athletics Rusty Allen. “The success of our baseball program is clear and now our players are beginning to be recognized by those outside our organization. We are excited for Paul and proud of his accomplishments. We are confident he will compete well and have a positive influence on all the people he will interact with.”

U.S. Economy May Fall in Global Ranking, Visiting Prof. Says
January 25, 2010
Categories: General News, Men's Basketball News
As the global economic meltdown continues, Dr. Jayakar Dalavai, a business professor and management expert from India, warns that the struggling U.S. economy could fall from first place to third or fourth place behind rising industrial powers China, India, Brazil, or perhaps even Russia.
‘We live in a world in which we, speaking as Americans, thought we had control for a long time,” Dalavai said. “But during the last 30 years, somehow that has changed.”
The first lecturer in Tabor College’s new Scholar in Residence Program, Dalavai presented his thoughtful and sobering perspective January 20 in a public lecture titled, “The Causes and Consequences of the Global Meltdown and Outsourcing, an Ominous Sign for the Future of America.”
A native of India, Dalavai has lived, worked, and been educated in both the U.S. and India, and as an international business expert, he brings a unique bi-national perspective on critical issues such as globalization and out-sourcing.
Standing before a slide show backdrop of some of the world’s most expensive personal residences and luxury hotels built recently in the Dubai and India, Dalavai told his audience the structures symbolize the greed that has reshaped the global economy in recent decades, signaling a sad departure from the Christian ideals of the free enterprise system and the Protestant Work Ethic.
Dr. Jayakar Dalavai, a business professor and management expert from India and the first lecturer in Tabor College’s new Scholar in Residence Program, delivers a public lecture on January 20 on the main campus in Hillsboro. (Tabor College photo by Grant Overstake).
“You may wonder why I am talking about these monumental structures when my topic is about the global meltdown,” Dalavai said. “Simple arithmetic will tell us that it costs between $7 and a half to $8 billion dollars for these three monumental structures. Most of them were to fulfill the egos of those billionaires…. We can see how people who have riches get so ambitious, get so carried away by their wealth, and use it for fulfilling their personal egos. We can see this… even in a country like India, where even now, 50 to 60 percent [of the population] lives under the poverty level.”
Dalavai’s public lecture was attended by local public officials, business professionals, and retired professors, as well as alumni, current faculty, and staff. Students enrolled in Dr. Dalavai’s business class received extra credit for attending. While at Tabor, Dalavai has been teaching management skills and mentoring business students about the changing global business environment during the Interterm session, from January 5 to 28.
“I was overwhelmed to see such an enthusiastic group of people had come to hear about the current day issues that have been impacting the people of the United States,” Dalavai said. “The questions were very thoughtful and to the point and I was glad I was able to answer them.”
The lecture followed a more scholarly lecture Dalavai delivered to faculty and staff on January 15 titled, “Corporate Social Responsibility,” in which he outlined his theory on the negative impact of greed in the corporate world.
Because of its overwhelming debt to other nations and its own weakened industrial capacity due in part to decades of outsourcing, and the subsequent rise of industrial capacities of other nations, the U.S. economy could fall to third or fourth place in the world in the coming years, behind China, India, and perhaps even Russia.
The U.S. has little control over its financial future, Dalavai added.
“The reason why we don’t have control over the global meltdown is because we don’t have control over our own destiny,” he said. “Because we are unable to make decisions that would place us on a path to recovery, the economic decisions that are being made in countries overseas do not make any sense to us. Too much money is finding its way into the hands of people who have control over but do not contribute to the economic activity of the world.”
Offering some suggestions for resolving the issues facing the U.S., Dalavai said the U.S. must focus its attention on providing educational opportunities for students that stress the hard sciences, engineering and physics, which are essential to the future of the future U.S. economy.
Reversing the trend of outsourcing jobs overseas by restoring higher-paying jobs to a rebuilt manufacturing sector, where U.S. workers could be productive and contribute to greater economic growth and stability would also help re-grow America, he said.
Despite the cutthroat economic competition today, the relationship between the United States and India has its roots in a shared belief in the democratic system, and should remain cooperative and strong, he added.
“In a global sense what is good for one country may not be good for another country,” he said. “It’s the same with India and the U.S.A., however, there is a common bond between the U.S. and India. We are both strong democratic countries. Our values about the economic system are the same….”
Following the lecture Dalavai fielded a variety of questions from local government officials and professors, ranging from the wisdom of allowing Tabor College students to “outsource” their education by taking Online courses, to the pros and cons of outsourcing hundreds of parts for Boeing new commercial jetliner to other countries.
Whether or not Americans should consider the welfare of the U.S. economy first before providing outsourced jobs to needy workers in third world countries was also discussed.
In conclusion, Dalavai said, “We may never find all of the right answers for our questions, but we still continue our journey. My purpose is to make sure that I share my Christian business values, as well as ethical business values in the global marketplace with everyone, anywhere I can.”
After earning his bachelor’s degree in mathematics from Osmania University, in India, in 1963, Dalavai came to the U.S. and went to work for what is now Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railways. He obtained his U.S. Citizenship in 1981.
He continued his education in the U.S. while working as a full time employee, gaining valuable management experience for over 30 years. He worked with Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway Company for 17 years and was an IT and Management Consultant for more than 10 years.
Dalavai earned his bachelor’s in Computer Information Systems from Washburn University, in Topeka, Kan., in 1979, and an M.B.A. from Emporia State University, in 1981. He earned his Certified Project Manager diploma in Advance Project Management in 2000 from Stanford University, along with his Project Management Professional (PMP) Certification. He earned his Ph. D. in Business Management in 2009 from Osmania University in Hyderabad, India.
Dalavai’s scholarly publications include, “Protestant Ethic, its impact on U. S. Economy,” and “Managing the Multinational Corporations,” both in the Journal of Business Management, Osmania University; and “Christian Business Ethic,” in the Christian Business Men’s Council Annual Publication, 2009. His current article on “Corporate Social Responsibility, a Myth or Reality?’ is under review.
His wife, Julia, a longtime staffer for Campus Crusade for Christ and CBN India, has joined her husband on the Tabor campus for the Interterm session. The couple resides in Bedford, Texas, where he works in semi-retirement as executive vice president of Enterprises without Borders, a small business specializing in global communications and management studies.
Ressler thanked Dr. Dalavai for his “stimulating lecture,” adding, “It has been a delight to have Dr. Dalavai serve as our first Scholar in Residence.
“These are perplexing and very difficult questions we are asking,” Ressler added, “particularly if you’ve been in third world countries where we realize the economics are so different.”

Addressing the Rural Teacher Shortage: USD 398 Peabody-Burns and Tabor College to Collaborate On New Teacher Prep Pathways Program
June 14, 2009
Categories: General News, Football News
The USD 398 Peabody-Burns School District and Tabor College have announced the creation of a new cooperative Teacher Prep Pathways Program, to encourage Peabody-Burns students to pursue teaching as an early career path. Students choosing to attend Tabor College after completing the program will be granted a waiver, reducing the amount of field experience required to receive an education degree.
The new vocational education program, created by Cathy Silvers, Family and Consumer Sciences Instructor at Peabody-Burns Jr.-Sr. High School, recently was approved for state funding by the Kansas State Board of Education. Students will be eligible to enter the program this fall.
“The Teacher Prep Pathway Program will give our students an early opportunity to learn what it is going to take to be a teacher, and to learn some of the basic skills before they enter college,” Silvers said. “Students who know they want to become teachers tomorrow can start making plans for the future now, and that makes their classes more real and relevant to them.”
Representing the USD 398 Peabody-Burns School District at the signing ceremony to create the new Teacher Prep Pathways Program held June 10 at Tabor College were: (standing at left) Rex Watson, Superintendent of USD 398, and (seated at left) Cathy Silvers, Instructor of Family and Consumer Sciences. Representing Tabor College were (standing at right) Provost Dr. Lawrence Ressler; (standing center) Dr. Linda Cantwell, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Marketing; and (seated at right) Dr. Donna Bagley, Chair of the Education Department.

Under the terms of a broadly-written articulation agreement signed June 10 the school district will provide course work and supervised mentoring and tutoring experiences for interested students. Tabor will collaborate with the school district in the program delivery and with the internship experiences. Students who successfully complete both the course work and the internship will have one of their early field experiences waived if they enroll in Tabor College’s teacher education programs.
The Teacher Prep Pathway Program is exactly the kind of teacher preparation program needed to help alleviate the severe shortage of teachers in rural Kansas, according to Dr. Donna M. Bagley, Chair of the Education Department at Tabor College.
“I am extremely excited about this opportunity to encourage high school students to consider teaching as a profession,” Bagley said. “There’s such a critical shortage of teachers in rural Kansas. This is really a way to grow your own rural teacher. Because these students come from a rural community, they should be especially effective in rural communities where the teacher shortage is the greatest.
“Cathy is a very capable teacher and this is a really well thought out program,” Bagley added. “I think it’s a feather in the cap of the Peabody-Burns school district, to create a new program at a time when schools everywhere are facing budget cuts, I think speaks highly of their commitment.”
According to Rex Watson, Superintendent of USD 398, programs such as Teacher Prep Pathways represent an emerging trend in high school curricula in which students are encouraged to choose a four-year “Career Pathway Plan of Study” containing rigorous academic coursework and electives based on their desired careers. Teacher Prep Pathways electives at Peabody-Burns will include courses such as Human Growth and Development, Parenting, and Exploring Teaching as a Career.
“I think the program represents a huge advantage, not only for our kids, but for our programs and for the teaching profession as a whole,” Watson said. “And it opens new doors for potential students to come to Tabor College, to fill up an outstanding education program. It allows us to dovetail what we do into a seamless transition to the education program there. ”
The Tabor College Education Department has enjoyed a good working relationship with the faculty and administrators of the Peabody-Burns School District for many years. This past school year, the district hosted two student teachers from Tabor and more than 15 students were assigned to the district for pre-student teaching field experiences.
“We’re very pleased with our relationship with Tabor College and the students they send us to student teach,” said Watson, who spoke as a guest lecturer to the college’s Introduction to Education class in January.
Attracting new students to Tabor College who’ve already demonstrated a desire to serve in tomorrow’s classrooms excites Linda Cantwell, Vice President for Enrollment Management and Marketing.
“Research would tell us that this generation of students is interested in giving back to the world; they want to be of service to the world, so this is exciting to me,” Cantwell said. “This program will attract a certain kind of student to Tabor that I think fits well with our mission statement, to prepare people for a life of learning, work and service, for Christ and his kingdom. And, to have a program like this be so close to home is incredible.”
According to Provost Dr. Lawrence Ressler, programs such as the Teacher Prep Pathways Program could help solve the teacher shortage plaguing rural America.
“Education is critical for the future of Marion County, the state and the nation,” Ressler said. “This is one of those efforts to have a seamless connection between the high school and the college which is going to be critical for the future.”
Tabor’s Jonathan Denning’s Passion for Computer Programming Leads to Dartmouth College
April 30, 2009
Categories: General News, Baseball News
Like most children of the Digital Age, Tabor College senior Jonathan Denning grew up playing all sorts of way-cool video games. But cooler still is the fact that, since he was a boy, Denning has always been more excited about programming and creating his own video games than playing them.
“When I was growing up in Herington, Kansas, I used to stay up late with a friend of mine, writing all sorts of programming code,” Denning said. “I can’t count how many video games we wrote throughout the years.”
Today Denning is a 28 year-old, married, non-traditional student with two young children and third on the way. He will graduate from Tabor in May with a Bachelor’s Degree in Computer Science and in Mathematics. Next fall, he will join the prestigious graduate Computer Science program at Dartmouth College, to pursue a masters’ degree.

Denning says Dartmouth, an Ivy League school in Hanover, N.H., is the perfect place for him to pursue a passion that was programmed into him at an early age.
“When I was eight my cousin, who is five years older, introduced me to programming,” Denning said. “It was simple programming back then, mostly involving copying code directly from programming books from the library, changing this variable or that loop, and then running it to see what changed.
“Ever since then, I’ve always been fascinated with making a ‘dumb’ computer do amazing things.”
Denning chose Dartmouth’s Computer Science department because it has a global reputation as a pioneer in digital image forensics (image forgery detection).
“Dartmouth has some amazing world-renowned professors that are working on cutting-edge, innovative projects,” he said. “One professor is the leading expert in digital image forensics. He is developing a set of tools that can be used to detect image forgeries [think: finding fake pictures in tabloid papers or news stories]. Another professor is using machine learning algorithms to describe human locomotion; and a third professor has worked in the research division at Pixar Animation Studio on algorithms used in several of their award-winning films.
“There seems to be a buzz throughout the department, with consistent high recognition for remarkable achievements,” he added. “I’m honored to be accepted into this community, and look forward to contributing to this high-energy, synergistic group of talented thinkers.”
Denning’s research will focus on computer graphics and computer vision, and he plans to stay on to pursue a doctoral degree in a futuristic setting where the science fiction seen in movies, such as his favorite, The Matrix, is becoming a virtual reality.
“The Matrix has always been a favorite movie of mine, not because of its plot, actors, visual effects, or whatever, but because there was a computer program that simulated reality so well that people within the Matrix did not even know it,” Denning said. “It’s not science fiction to me; it’s motivation. I love tearing apart difficult problems into small, super simple tasks, coding these tasks, and then plugging them all back together.”
Denning is married to Cindy (Harden) Denning, an alum and former employee of Tabor. They have two children, Cora and Samuel, and are expecting a third. In the past few years, she worked in the Student Life Department as a Resident Director, and later as Director of Student Success before ending her employment in January to devote more time to her children.
Meanwhile, Jonathan has juggled parenting responsibilities, being a student in advanced-level classes, working part-time, and teaching classes at the college. He served as an adjunct instructor for Computer Literacy, administer of the Computer Competency Exam, instructor for Microsoft Excel training for faculty and staff, a student mentor, and a peer tutor and teacher’s assistant for a variety of math and computer science classes. Off-campus, he was the office manager for a local computer business, did a programming internship for a company in the area, and did freelance programming and web design.
Denning credits Tabor College’s flexibility toward non-traditional students in helping him complete his dual-major degree. Admissions officials helped him transfer his credits form Kansas State University, and, when a required class conflicted with another required class, his professors allowed him to take both classes at the same time.
“The administration was flexible with Cindy being able to work from home sometimes in order to watch the kids while I went to class,” Denning said. “And being on campus in the girls’ quad had its perks with a lot of available babysitters.”
“I probably could not have been able to finish with a degree in Math as well as Computer Science without the awesome tuition discount for spouses of full-time Tabor employees,” Denning added. “I would have to say that all of my professors here at Tabor have been awesome. We have been extremely blessed for the opportunity to finish at Tabor.”
Jonathan is the son of Dan and Cheryl Denning of Herington.
Bluejays Scare Shockers
April 29, 2009
Categories: Baseball News, General News, Athletics News
The Tabor College Bluejays baseball team gave NCAA Division I and Missouri Valley Conference foe Wichita State all it could handle and then some before falling to the Shockers 5-3, Tuesday evening at Eck Stadium, in Wichita, Kan.
It was also a homecoming for Wichita State Baseball Hall of Famer and current Tabor Head Baseball Coach Mark Standiford, as the Shockers all-time home run leader made his first trip back to Eck stadium and Tyler Field as the coach of the Bluejays.
“It was great for our kids, our program, and we played pretty well,” said Head Baseball Coach Mark Standiford. “I am really proud of the way my players performed. They went out in a tough environment and did everything I asked and more. I can’t say enough good things about them.”
If the Bluejays were suppose to be the underdogs someone forgot to tell them that as Tabor scored three runs on five straight hits in the top of the first inning to take an early 3-0 lead over the Shockers.
With two outs in the top of the first the Tabor offense caught fire as junior Tyson Kendrick (Arkansas City, Kan.) and sophomore Tanner Stevenson (Wichita, Kan.) both singled to start the Bluejays rally.
Senior Mike Chaput (Wichita, Kan.) and juniors Andrew Cook (Rockwall, Texas.) and Paul Bridenbaugh (Peoria, Ariz.) each followed with RBI singles to give the Bluejays the early lead.
The Shockers would answer back with a run in the second to cut the lead to 3-1, and then scored two runs apiece in the fourth and the fifth innings to secure the 5-3 victory.
Tabor got great pitching performances out of freshman Brad Zewe (Westminster, Colo.) and junior Tyler Fenton (Holcomb, Kan.). Zewe got the start for the Bluejays and pitched four innings allowing four runs on seven hits while striking out three.
Fenton came in for relief and pitched four innings holding the Shockers to just one run on six hits while striking out one.
“I thought our pitchers competed well and did a great job of keeping us in the game,” said Standiford. “Both Brad and Tyler pitched out of some tough situations and showed great composure on the mound.”
Tabor will play Friends University at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 29 in the first round of the KCAC Conference Tournament at Rathert Stadium in Junction City, Kan.
