Hopefully everyone has been surviving these hot days we’ve been experiencing. Year round the thing I am most thankful for is clean running water, but on days like these A/C runs a close second. I’m looking forward to our summer festivals and seeing downtown come alive with the community. As always if you have any Shouts, words of praise or encouragement please submit them for next month. Till then take care and stay cool.

Getting Outside through Bird Banding OUTDOOR LIVING Lois Oyer,1st grade teacher at York Elementary School, volunteers with bird banding, a research process where a metal band is put on the leg of a bird and recording basic information on the bird. When the bird is spotted, updated information can be added to the research database. I recently asked Lois about her experiences.
How did you get involved in bird banding?
Lois: In 2017, I completed my Indiana Master Naturalist certification. At that point, I needed to find volunteer opportunities to get the necessary 30 volunteer hours (annually) to maintain that certification. I started bird banding at Merry Lea in 2018. Bird banding happens in the summer, which worked for my schedule as a teacher.
The bird banding crew!
What do you enjoy about banding birds?
I love seeing the birds up close! And being in the woods at the break of dawn to hear the chorus of birds singing. In addition, I’ve seen birds that I had not heard of or seen before. When I’m able to listen as the data on each bird is recorded (determining the age and sex of the bird, looking at the wear of the feathers, weight and more), there are always things to learn. We also check off the birds that we have heard that day during our time of banding (something I have not learned well yet).
How does bird banding impact your work as a teacher in Middlebury Community Schools?
I share my interest in birds with my students. We watch webcams as the kids come into the classroom in the morning. We start with a feeder webcam at Cornell University. Then, late January, there are webcams with nesting and egg laying. We watched a barred owl in Indianapolis, red-tailed hawks in Ithaca, NY, greathorned owl in Savannah, GA, peregrine falcons in Ft. Wayne, IN and bald eagles in South Bend, IN. With all of these we were able to see what foods were brought to the nest for the babies and watched the babies being fed and grow up! We do a study of birds in the spring in first grade, so the kids are aware of birds by the time they choose one they want to research.
Lois with an indigo bunting Dr. Carla Gull blogs at www. insideoutside michiana.com and hosts the podcast Loose Parts Nature Play. She is often seen with her four adventurers in the greater Michiana area.
Anything else?
I discovered Northern cardinals can bite with their beaks and it hurts!

Garden with a Cause
Diabetes Awareness
The Middlebury Lions Club is sponsoring this summer’s Garden with a Cause to bring awareness to Diabetes. The ribbon is planted with 270 white-flowering green leaf begonias and 270 Dusty Miller. There are an additional 15 red-flowering bronze leaf begonias to symbolize a drop of blood. Diabetes colors are traditionally blue and gray, but because this garden is heavily shaded, we are limited in what we can plant. 738,000 people in Indiana suffer from diabetes. For more information about this disease, go to www.diabetes .org To sponsor next year’s Garden with a Cause, contact the Middlebury Park Department.

MEMBERS HELPING DECIDE DIRECTION OF MIDDLEBURY CLUB PROGRAMS When it comes to deciding how programs are run at the Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County’s Middlebury Clubhouse, input comes from a source that may surprise some. Members of various age groups are selected by their peers to take part in a Youth Advisory Council. The council meets once a month and is made up of about a dozen members. “It’s good to hear the kid voices and get their perspective on things around the Club,” said Middlebury Area Director Erin McNeal. The representatives share what they’re hearing from other members and help determine the staff decisions on what programs the kids would like to see expanded or added. The council members also have the responsibility of running the Club Bucks store on Monday and Fridays. That involves making decisions on how to spend $50 every month for supplies and planning fundraisers. “It’s a nice way for them to develop their leadership skills. They asked for new denominations to use in the Club Bucks store at one meeting. Because of their input, there is now a $20 and a $50 denomination for the store. They also conducted two fundraisers so far and that
INTRODUCING TAP & PAY
has provided some new items for them to sell in the store,” McNeal said. Some of the council’s ideas have proven to be very popular. “They helped us create and develop a cadet and junior (elementary age) late night program earlier this year. They had Nerf battles and it was a lot of fun. It was so popular we had to cap it at 60 kids,” McNeal said. At a recent meeting, the council members discussed ideas for the “School’s Out Party”. Members were excited to learn the staff was willing to bring the “pie for the staff” fundraiser back. That’s where members can throw a cream pie in the face of their favorite staff member. Council Member Landyn said he enjoys taking part to have some control in the decisions. “We get to decide what gonna happen at the Club,” he said. Council Member Zoey agreed, and said they can offer the staff unique perspectives. “We’re kids so we’re good at knowing what other kids will like,” she said.

GOSHEN RECYCLED METAL SCULPTURE ARTIST
12 inMiddlebury Magazine | JULY 2022
"The Gathering Place” sculpture gathers attention in Krider Worlds’ Fair Garden. Every five years Middlebury Parks and Recreation Department creates an updated masterplan to serve as a road map for improvements to the park and trails system. The most important component of the future planning of Middlebury’s seven public parks and miles of multi-use trails is information gathered from community surveys and public input meetings. Many of the community’s ideas and priorities translate into outcomes such as interconnecting trails like the Ridge Run Trail and improvements like the popular Krider Rest Area along the Pumpkinvine Nature Trail. Another objective coming from public input was to begin adding art pieces throughout Middlebury’s parks and trails over the span of coming years. This led the Park Department’s Landscape Committee to search for appropriate, approachable, locally designed and created art. After considering several options the committee chose “The Gathering Place” as the inaugural piece. This custom sculpture brings height and interest into this highly shaded part of lower Krider Garden and fits in lock-step with the Elkhart County Convention and Visitors’ Bureau’s plans to increase tourism and serve the public through showcasing locally crafted art county-wide. The project was
funded through the cooperation of the Friends of Middlebury Parks, the Elkhart County Convention and Visitors’ Bureau and Middlebury Parks and Recreation’s Flower and Fixture Fund. The committee identified space for installation where a tree had been lost in lovely lower Krider Garden. The desire was for the piece to integrate with its surroundings but attract attention, be durable, weather proof, safe and affordable. It needed to reflect nature and the playful feeling of Krider Garden, a space known for its miniature Dutch Wind Mill and Giant Toadstools. Additionally, the committee wanted a piece that knit well with a “home, family and friends” theme since Krider Garden began as display garden for Krider Nursey, a family-owned business that attracted commerce and visitors to the Middlebury area until its closure and donation to the town as a public park in the 1990s. Krider World’s Fair Garden has seen many expansions and improvements as a public space. The park, which features history, nature and recreation, draws vast numbers of visitors while continuing to be a local gem used for family gatherings for everything from weddings to first-day of school pictures under those Giant Toadstools. The committee ultimately chose the idea of a “snag” and the many forms of life a snag attracts, supports and nourishes. A “snag” is a term used for a tree that is in decline to human eyes, but often offers more food, shelter and nesting sites for critters large and small than its more robust neighbors. In essence, a tree’s “second act” can serve as an important destination and attractant in an ecosystem. Krider Garden’s second act is just such an attraction to our community for residents and visitors alike. The artist chosen to design and create the piece is Goshen sculptor Sunday Mahaja. Sunday is a metal artist who studied with and was mentored by another renowned Goshen artist, John Mishler. Sunday is known for his intuitive use of recycled and found metal objects and his creative, organic designs such as the well-known “Dogs of Nappanee” series. Here is Sunday and his perspective on art in his own words: “I am a creator who breathes life into discarded metal by expressing beauty, humor, functionality as well as telling a story. I love bringing imaginations into reality. As an artist, I enjoy exploring every aspect of art. I sometimes capture historic inMiddlebury Magazine | JULY 2022 13
moments or events and depict it in my own way to give my viewers a different way to see and interact with the moment.” Sunday brought the committee’s imagination to life and captured the story of Krider Garden as a gathering place. Sunday listened, felt and absorbed the tale of Krider Garden and the building of the Middlebury area. He used humor, whimsy and history to create a destination for artlovers, gardeners and critter obsessed kids of all ages. The “bark” details were inspired by Native American totem poles while creatures adorning the top take their inspiration from local fauna. His use of reclaimed materials gives nod to the display garden created for the 1934 World’s Fair by Krider Nurseries transforming into a treasured local botanical garden and gem of the Middlebury Park system. Named “The Gathering Place” by its creator, the sculpture represents Krider Worlds’ Fair Garden; a vibrant attraction bringing friends, families, neighbors and visitors to our community. The sculpture is currently part of the season-long countywide, open air art gallery tour, the Epic Art Adventure (www.visitelkhartcounty.com), but will remain in its permanent location in lower Krider Garden along with two other small pieces also created by Sunday Mahaja. “The Heron” and “The Dragonfly” will be installed later this season and tucked amongst the plants near the koi pond and waterfall. Come and gather for a look. 14 inMiddlebury Magazine | JULY 2022

RICHARD SMITH
Sparking Historic Imagination Written by: Chris Wheeler Anybody who meets Middlebury’s resident historian, Richard Smith, knows that the man is a veritable well of information regarding the town, and that he never makes much of this fact. “I have a degree in political science with a minor in history, so it’s been an interest,” he said, noting that “we’ve enjoyed living here a lot, so I’ve got to know people.” Since moving to Middlebury in 1978, he has put down deep roots and acquired a significant understanding of the town, its history, and its people. The exhibits that he and a small but hardy group of volunteers put together at the Middlebury Historical Museum provide glimpses into that understanding. Richard was born in Kansas, grew up in Oklahoma and New Mexico, graduated from college in New Mexico, and worked in Texas, California, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, and Oregon before he moved to Indiana. “I was ready to enjoy life when I got out of college. I used to move in my car, because I didn’t own any furniture or anything like that. I traveled light.” While living in Cimarron, NM, Richard said, he got used to small-town life. “It had signs that said it had a 1000-person population, but I never saw them.” He got started in purchasing, a career path he would follow until retirement, at a small metal fabrication company in California. “I had a knack for it and I enjoyed it.” He eventually transitioned to purchasing management
at Hooker Header in CA. There he met his wife Sheila (“a California girl, born and raised!”) who was working as an administrative assistant in marketing. They dated long-distance when he moved up to Canada for other jobs, marrying in British Columbia in 1977. “We didn’t honeymoon at all, but we did take a company car and went on a business trip together to northern British Columbia. All the while we were visiting dealers, but oh, it was gorgeous! We call that our honeymoon. We enjoyed it, just the two of us, so it worked the same as honeymoons do.” Eventually, Richard was snagged by Coachmen from a company in Oregon, and over the course of his career transitioned to Carriage in Millersburg, then Gulf Stream in Nappanee. Sheila worked as an accountant for Stoutco, Inc. for 26 years, then with Elkhart Brass for another 13 years. When they first arrived in Middlebury, married only a year, it was exactly what they were looking for. Richard said, “You got the flavor right away: small town, wholesome values, all the things we attach to what small-town America was, particularly early 19th century into the 20th century. Sheila and I both said, this is a place to raise kids.” And raise kids they did. Their two daughters now live in Indiana and Maryland, respectively, and Richard and Sheila enjoy spending time with their three grandchildren, the youngest of whom is, like many five-year-olds, a budding artist. Her work can be seen on the walls of Richard’s office at the Middlebury Historical Museum, not far from works by inMiddlebury Magazine | JULY 2022 17
Middlebury’s local artists. Richard enjoys the pace of life in Middlebury, of course, but more so the people themselves, many of whom he knows personally and relies on. He points to the time his car broke down ten minutes before he needed to leave to catch a flight to Texas for his father’s funeral. He went down to Jerry’s Service, where Jerry said, “I can’t fix it in ten minutes, so here’s the key to my car.” Richard recalls, “I had to be gone a week or more, and he said, no problem. That’s the flavor I’m talking about: people are that involved with each other.” In the 20 years since the Middlebury Historical Society was born over a cup of coffee at Smucker’s Drug Store, Richard has been at the heart of it. Starting out as assistant director to Don Smucker, he later transitioned into the directorial role when Don retired from it. “We didn’t know what we were doing. We didn’t know how to store stuff or how to display things. We were making it up as we went along. We did have the advantage of [connecting with] John Harris from the Indiana Historical Society, to teach us what we needed to know.” The Museum itself was officially opened in 2004. Richard said, “We’ve done well over that period of time, 18 years in existence,” adding with a chuckle, “People said they didn’t think it would last five years, but it has.” Richard attributes this to the museum’s local emphasis, which covers the Middlebury, Jefferson, and York Townships just like the library and school system do. This local appeal, however, does not stop visitors from around the world from dropping in (including from as far away as China, Japan, 18 inMiddlebury Magazine | JULY 2022
Germany, and Switzerland, among others). “We don’t have high traffic, but we do have high focus. We are regional, and we try not to be anything other than what we are.” In an era when museums in general are facing challenges across the board, this local emphasis has served the Middlebury Historical Society well. Even so, Richard is always looking for volunteers to help out with everything from record-keeping to supporting events, from sorting out donations to lawn-mowing. The building and property for the museum were donated by Roger and Sandra Nielsen. The property was originally part of Krider Nursery, and the building was Roger’s “toy garage,” housing old cars and his RV before it housed historical artifacts and documents. The museum is open three days a week (Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday) from 10am-2pm, but welcoming guests and offering information is only part of Richard’s work, besides developing exhibits, managing the collection, and accepting possible artifacts from residents. That last part of his job – accepting artifacts – can be a tricky business, both logistically and personally. “One of the first pieces of advice we were given by the Indiana Historical Society was: don’t become your community’s attic. It’s hard not to!” Many donations carry significant personal history with them, but less significant civic history. Richard always confirms with the owners that, if the museum cannot use what is given, it is okay to dispose of it. Other offerings are difficult or costly to preserve. “Newspaper clippings are very acidic, so they deteriorate quickly. You preserve them the same way they preserve the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence: in an envelope of argon gas in a sealed cavity. It’s the only thing you can do, and I really didn’t want to get into that…” Richard does keep copies from certain pivotal events, such as newspapers covering the Palm Sunday tornadoes or those from World War 2. He keeps all items that might be damaged by atmospheric conditions carefully climatecontrolled; any variation of five degrees in either direction can encourage mold. Since its inception, the museum has focused on thematic rather than continual exhibits (barring several special offerings, like an exhibit on Krider Nurseries and Garden). Exhibits run from spring through December, when Richard closes the museum for care of the collection, returning artifacts to their owners, and preparation for the next year’s exhibit. The first exhibit they put together at the museum was on agriculture, which was core to the beginning of the town. “We learned so much from that, what not to do, mainly.” Subsequent exhibits covered everything from personal collections of historic glassware to Middlebury sports. One of Richard’s highlights was the highly-attended model railroad exhibit, in which a resident created an 8-foot scale model of the Middlebury Railyard based on a map from 1904. Richard’s current favorite exhibit was that of the Museum’s second year, which occurred the same year as
the 60th anniversary of D-Day. They decided on a “World War 2 and Middlebury” focus, opening on V.E. Day by inviting WW2 veterans in the area for a presentation at Memorial Park. After the Legion played taps and Richard shared Harry Truman’s proclamation, a bus brought everyone over to the museum for the grand opening of the new exhibit. “That one was very poignant,” Richard said. “For me, the greatest thing about the museum is people connecting with their memories. They come in, they see something, and they remember. Everybody that lived in that time period (World War 2) had distinct memories of that time, some good, some bad.” Many of the WW2-era items from that second-year exhibit are currently on display now, alongside the 1904 railway map and art from local artists. Richard is considering doing a future exhibit on one-room school houses in Middlebury. Richard is quick to note that very little of what they do would be possible without the generous support of people like the Nielsen’s, as well as town fixtures like Norval Poyser and Vernon Miller. Vernon, as Richard says, was the start of everything museum-oriented in Middlebury, because, “he was the museum!” Vernon began the tradition of the annual Old-Timer’s Meeting, which the Middlebury Historical Museum helps to coordinate. Norval, who owned a big farm out on CR 14, lived in Middlebury for his entire life.
“He told me he never slept anywhere except for under the roof of that house.” In the evenings, he would entertain himself with woodworking while his wife did needlework. They gave much of what they made away, including an exquisite grandfather clock that now resides at the museum. “We benefited in his will, as did so many other organizations, and we are so grateful for that. He was important to this town, and this town was important to him.” Richard has long been convinced of the essential nature and ongoing relevance of history in society. He noted that a passion for history must be caught, not taught. “We need people teaching it that can pass on that passion. David McCulloch once wrote, regarding history education: “Indifference to history is not just ignorant, it’s rude. Ingratitude is such a shabby failing.” His whole point was: we all are products of those who went before. If we don’t care about that, we are ignoring what they have given us, some good, some bad. We are standing on the shoulders of other people. There is no such thing as a self-made man.” As the years have gone by and Richard has studied and shared the contents of them with the town, he has acquired a keen grasp of what makes Middlebury tick. “I get asked sometimes what Middlebury has going for it. I think it is ubiquitously unique, which I realize sounds like a contradiction. We are unique in remaining what middle American small towns used to be. But there just aren’t that many of those towns left, which makes us unique. I hope we can keep it that way.” The Middlebury Historical Museum is part of what Richard refers to as “quality of life” elements in Middlebury, like the library system and the parks that the town boasts. “We’re here, come see us. You’ll probably find something that catches your eye and sparks your imagination.”

Ingredients • 1 ¼ cups warm water 105-110˚F • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dried yeast 1 packet • 1 tablespoon sugar • ¾ cup Greek-style yogurt (or whole milk) • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil • 1 tablespoon kosher salt • 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour • ¼ cup finely chopped flat leaf parsley Instructions 1. Combine the yeast, sugar, and water into a medium-large bowl and stir well. Allow to sit in a warm place for 5-10 minutes to activate the yeast.

Repeat rolling, oiling and cooking with remaining portions of dough 7. Sprinkle flatbreads with a bit more chopped parsley when finished, if desired. Stack flatbreads in a clean kitchen towel after cooking to steam a bit and retain softness. 8. When cool, store in a ziplock bag.

Roll dough into 11-inch circle on lightly floured counter. Loosely roll dough around rolling pin and gently unroll it onto 9-inch tart pan with removable bottom, letting excess dough hang over edge. Ease dough into pan by gently lifting edge of dough with your hand while pressing into corners and fluted sides of pan with your other hand. Run rolling pin over top of pan to remove any excess dough • Wrap dough-lined pan loosely in plastic, place on large plate, and freeze until dough is chilled and firm, about 30 minutes • Fillings • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 375ºF. Set dough-lined tart pan on baking sheet, line with double layer of aluminum foil, covering edges to prevent burning, and fill with pie weights. • Bake until crust is golden brown and set, about 30 minutes, rotating pan halfway through baking. Remove weights and foil and let crust cool.
