After a year living in Marion County, new Peabody-Burns third-grade teacher Cindy Ziesemer feels like she has found her hometown, 2,000 miles from where she grew up. A native of Dallas, Oregon, Ziesemer enjoys the feeling of a small school district, and a county with Mennonite heritage. “Dozens of the family names are the same, and people have relatives here and there,” she said. “It’s fascinating. I felt like I was coming home.”
