Nature Play Days Near You! OUTDOOR LIVING

Use a frame to make natural artwork.

Nature Play is coming our way in June! Indiana Children and Nature Network (ICAN) encourages kids to get outside through a designated kick off time to welcome summer nature play. The dates for 2022 are June 4th-12th. Check out the interactive map on indianachildrenandnature.org to find nature play days across the state. Locally, check out a few offerings listed below, though more may be added. Each ICAN Nature Play Day will have a different feel due to location, hosting organizations, and focus of the event. Check out as many as you can!

While the organized Nature Play Days can be a great way to connect to a new space and new faces, you can also hold your own nature play day any time of the year! Meet up with another family at the park. Invite children from school over for nature time. Get ideas from the 52 Things to Do Outside Before You Grow Up website or brochure. Host a water playdate in your backyard. Set up a mud kitchen in the backyard for time together. Take a hike on one of many trails in Middlebury or Elkhart county.

Friday, June 3rd, 5-9 pm, Courthouse Yard, Goshen June 4th, National Trails Day find a trail and take a hike! Saturday, June 4th, 7 am-5 pm, Elkhart Family Fish Fest, Downtown Elkhart June 4th and 5th, Indiana Free Fishing Weekend Monday, June 6th, 5:30-7:30 pm, Mill Street Park, Goshen Thursday, June 9th, 1-4 pm, Merry Lea Environmental Center, Albion Friday, June 10, 1-3 pm, Riverbend Park, Middlebury

ICAN is also launching an ambassador program. With a mission “to foster the connection of children, families and communities to the natural environment so they can receive the physical, emotional and intellectual benefits of spending time outdoors, while building a lifelong love of nature,” ICAN Ambassadors share regular nature minded posts on social media tagging ICAN, host at least a quarterly nature play date, add to local guides for nature play throughout the state, and fill out a monthly form. For those enthusiastic about nature play, this is a great way to help spread the word and inspire others to get outside. Find information on their website, indianachildrenandnature.org.

Dr. Carla Gull blogs at www.insideoutsidemichiana.com and hosts the podcast Loose Parts Nature Play. She is often seen with her four adventurers in the greater Michiana area. 6 inMiddlebury Magazine | JUNE 2022

VOLUNTEERS HELPING MAKE STEM ACTIVITIES COME TO LIFE Walk into the learning center at the Middlebury Clubhouse on a Wednesday afternoon and you’ll see a dozen young members engaged in activities that look fun, but also stimulate their reasoning skills. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Elkhart County is utilizing STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) mentoring grant to offer unique activities for members. The Clubs are working with ETHOS Innovation Center in Elkhart to put together the materials. Volunteers then help lead the activities. “The fulfillment for me is getting them to think. I want to stimulate their minds to think outside the box,” said Mike Groff, a volunteer at the Middlebury Club. He volunteers each week with his wife, Rose, who is also a Middlebury Club board member. “Kids are our future. I think it’s important that we make special time for that. They have lots of great ideas and they can learn a lot -- WE can learn a lot. It works both ways,” Rose Groff said. The grant program is providing access to materials that might not be readily available at the Club. Middlebury Area Director Erin McNeal says the program is offering “cool experiences” to the young members. Members recently practiced problem-solving skills and learned about buoyancy while building boats out of clay. Their goal was to get the boats to float. They then tested how much weight they could hold before sinking by adding paper clips. Another session involved programming a robot to perform tasks. Members paired up with one person acting as the robot and the other giving commands. After some practice, the “robot” was blindfolded and had to pick up items and place them on a table. McNeal says in addition to these problem-solving activities, the members are getting to practice

interaction with the adult volunteers. “It’s also great that volunteers are the mentors for this. The members benefit from seeing people beyond the staff come in and spend time with them on a regular basis,” she said. The volunteers say they enjoy watching the kids learn how to solve problems through the activities. “If you don’t let them try and err, they don’t learn anything. You have to let them fail to learn. You want to be there to give them guidance so they can figure out the right direction to go the next time,” Mike Groff said.

The Middlebury Literary Carousel returns! Contributed by Elma Chapman It’s time for the Literary Carousel once again. No, it’s not literally a merry-go-round, but rather a literary variety of programs spread over a 6-day period. Come to the Middlebury Public Library to hear from some of your favorite authors—or some who could become your favorite authors after you hear them speak. Come to celebrate children’s programming, too. From June 13 – 18 there are programs to interest all ages. Most days there are two programs, one for children in the earlier hours and one for adults in the evening. Here’s the schedule: Monday, June 13. At 10:30 a.m. Dr. Carla Gull will present a children’s program on Loose Parts play. Children are natural collectors of bits and pieces in the world around them. Create, problem solve, and discover the possibilities of ordinary objects. At 6:30 p.m. author Chris White, who is an Indiana author, dramatic writer, filmmaker, and professor, will read from her critically-acclaimed debut novel The Life List of Adrian Mandrick. Tuesday, June 14. At 1 p.m. Mark Crilley will present the Comic Making Workshop, aimed at teens. Learn straight from a published professional about drawing and creating comics with graphic novelist Mark Crilley, author, illustrator, and YouTube video creator. Later that same day, at 6:30 p.m. enjoy the “Evening with Kristy Cambron.” This will be a gathering of vintage-inspired storytelling from bestselling Hoosier author Kristy Cambron as she discusses her new novel, The Italian Ballerina. Wednesday, June 15. At 10:30 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. the Potawatomi Zoo will bring their Mini Zoo to the library. Come join the Potawatomi Zoo and their animal friends at the library! Read a book and make a craft with our Library staff. At 5:30 p.m. there is a writers workshop for adults led by Alicia Rasley. Do you have a story in you? Here’s your chance to get started with the guidance of a veteran writer and affirmative editor, Alicia Rasley. 10 inMiddlebury Magazine | JUNE 2022

Thursday, June 16. Children’s programming scores another success with two programs presented by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. At 10:30 a.m. is “Creating a Classroom Quilt.” Touch quilt samples from FWMoA’s Amish quilt collection, read Tar Beach by Faith Ringgold, and create your story quilt square to form a classroom quilt. At 2:30 p.m. become an “Artistic Detective.” Explore how visual art can tell a story. Become detectives looking for the clues to understand the narrative depicted. Create illustrations as part of the selected story. And in the evening at 6:30 p.m. adults can view Vital Passage: A Holocaust Rescue Story. This is a documentary screening about a local family’s story of rescue, sacrifice, and courage to relocate 28 Jewish refugees to immigrate to the United States in the late 1930’s. Friday, June 17. There’s only one event today, a familyfriendly movie in Riverbend Park. (Due to licensing restrictions, the name of the movie can only be found on the library’s website, but not in other advertising.) Bring a blanket or chair and enjoy the movie. The movie will be shown at 7 p.m.—this is a change from last year’s movies’ time in response to participants requests. Saturday, June 18. For a grand finale, the library presents Elephant and Piggie Storytime at 10 a.m. Meet Elephant and Piggie, from Mo Willems’ imagination! Join us for a story and a craft. After a short break, that will be immediately followed at 11 a.m. with Jim Gill and Friend. Read and sing-along to Jim Gill’s awardwinning book, A Soup Opera. Join us for singalongs, dance-alongs, finger plays, and tongue twisters for the whole family! All events are free, as always. The Literary Carousel is brought to you by the Middlebury Public Library and Middlebury Then and Now, through funding in 2022 from the American Rescue Plan: Humanities Grants for Libraries.

NORTHRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL

SCHOLAR ATHLETE OF THE MONTH

KATIE WALTHER

My name is Katie Walther and I am a senior at Northridge High School. I am the daughter of Janelle and Ike Walther. I have been dancing for fourteen years and for five of those years, I have been a member of the Northridge Raider Dance Team. Throughout the years I have taken many different styles including ballet, tap, jazz, hiphop, and pom. Since being on NRDT, we have won five regional championships along with two hiphop state championship titles. It’s been such an incredible journey being a part of such an amazing program. Some of my favorite memories include all the van rides to competitions along with performing for our school at basketball, football, and now softball games.

Aside from dance, I am also an active member of National Honor’s Society and a ten year member for the Elkhart County 4-H program. What I enjoy most about NHS sports is the environment that is created and giving back to the community for all their support. Everybody lifts each other up and is willing to do whatever it takes to have a good season! I have also attended the Elkhart Area Career center the past two years studying cosmetology and now I have officially obtained my cosmetology license! At the career center I am also a member of the National Technical Honor Society. After high school I plan on attending Trine University to study business administration while being a member of their competitive dance team.

We asked our school board to start the steps required to complete specific projects including a new roof at the middle school, repairs to roads and parking lots around the district, and the construction of an activities center for MCS. These projects should start during the spring of 2023 and be completed during the fall of 2024. Due to current interest rates, the timely elimination of old debt, and a history of sound fiscally conservative decision making, we can complete these projects using tax-exempt bonds and pay off the debt over eight years without raising the tax rate. U tilization of these bonds will also have no impact on the education fund that determines employees’ compensation. We are very excited to complete these projects and provide students, staff, and community members with needed improvements as well as an activity center that is long overdue. We believe these projects will positively impact our community for years to come.

Middlebury Portraits

Brad Zook

Written by Chris Wheeler Photos by ? Middlebury has always had some sort of band program, dating back at least to the 1940s; a picture of the band of that time hangs in Old Hoosier Meats. However, no band director in Middlebury’s history has invested as many years as Brad Zook, who will be retiring at the end of the 2021-22 school year after 20 years leading the high school band program. With so many years of service under his belt (or baton, if you will), Brad has not only left a legacy of musical and educational excellence at Northridge, but has made an incredible impact on his students, colleagues, and the community of Middlebury in the process. Brad attended Northridge High School, particularly enjoying playing trumpet, French horn, and mellophone under the baton of then-conductor Richard Lindsey. According to him, he never got into any

mischief while at Northridge: “I was angelic!” he said, chuckling. “Generally, I tried to follow the rules the best I could.” However, he did admit that several teachers he had while at Northridge (Mrs. Augustine and Mr. Powell) are still available for questioning regarding this claim. “You probably shouldn’t talk to them, they could probably tell you stories…” Following his totally mischief-free high school years, Brad graduated in 1989 with a clear goal: to go into some form of teaching, ideally music education. Why music? “It was a combination of the fact that I really enjoyed teaching and working with young people and the fact that I enjoyed music. The two things went together perfectly.” Following graduation, Brad went on to study music education at Ball State University, with trumpet as his main focus. He spent his first six years as a teacher south of Fort Wayne at Norwell High School, then two years at Columbus North in southern inMiddlebury Magazine | JUNE 2022 17

Indiana. He couldn’t stay away for long, however. “I was always looking at Northridge, because I knew there was tremendous potential here,” he said. As soon as a band position teaching grades 6-12 opened up, he applied and got the job. In the eight years he had been teaching elsewhere, much had already changed in Middlebury. Brad remembers a picture of the band from his high school days that features a backdrop of nothing but an open soybean field south of US 20. “When I came back it had just grown up so much!” Even with the rapid growth, the aspects of Middlebury that Brad loved – its small town nature, rural backbone, and interesting history and heritage – were all still intact. “It’s also great to have just one central high school for the whole community that can be a central thing that everyone can gather around.” One of Brad’s initial challenges when he took on the band program at Northridge was to build up the student’s skills and discipline, both of which were at a pretty low level when he arrived. “My first year here, I told them: we’re not going to be the best band in the state this year, but we’re going to be the most improved band, and they really latched on to that. I have such tremendous respect for that first year that I was here, because it was like there was a bus going down the street at 100 mph in one direction, and I just hopped in the driver’s seat and yanked the wheel. The kids were just wonderful, and the parents too.”

One of the events Brad enjoys most is the five-day introductory summer program they hold for every student coming out of 5th grade. Because few things are as worlds apart as learning trumpet and learning clarinet, he and his colleagues split the students out into individual classes for each instrument and give everyone a crash course. “The poor clarinets, they don’t even get to play the first day, it’s so complicated just to put the instrument together!” However, Brad says the most meaningful part of this week comes at the very beginning, when he calls their names and literally hands their instrument to them. “And then seven years later I get to see many of those kids graduate still in the program,” he says. “I get to teach them every day for seven years. That is the most fantastic part of the job, along with the great people I get to work with – Josh Flynn [percussion 6th-12th grade] and Bryce Cone [middle school band and assistant high school band].” Over the years, Brad and his colleagues have set up a mutually beneficial schedule. Brad spends his mornings at the middle school supporting Bryce (including working specifically with 6th grade brass), then Bryce assists him for Symphonic band and Concert band in the afternoons. Depending on the season, Brad spends after-school hours working with the high school musical or the marching band. One of his former students, Derek Varner, now runs the Northern Lights band. “He does a great job with them. That band is always fantastic. Our top kids join that band, and they work so hard at making it great.” The Northern Lights band is not the only fantastic group at Northridge. During Brad’s 20 years with the program, the marching band has gone to state finals 11 times. The concert band has consistently received gold ratings almost every single year, and the middle school band has received multiple gold ratings as well. “Our

bands have gone into group 1, which is the most difficult level of music you can play, and they’ve received gold ratings in that as well.” The highest placement the marching band has received was 4th place at the 2016 state finals, which was also one of Brad’s favorite memories. “It was a lot of fun because we had no idea which place we were going to get. We would have been happy with 9th or 10th place, but they just kept naming one band after another, and we got all the way up to 4th! That was certainly exciting, to watch the looks on the kids’ faces as we kept climbing higher.” And of course, it is rewarding for him to see multiple students of his going into music education, including one former student at Norwell who is now the band director there.

going to be here. The band program was never me, it was always all the kids and the other staff members.” Brad is not entirely sure what all he will do during retirement, but it may include musical participation in local groups such as the Elkhart Municipal Band or Truth in Jazz. “We’ll have to see what’s next. I have no doubt that I’ll find something to keep myself occupied but I’m not sure what that will be yet.”

Outside of his busy schedule at Northridge, Brad enjoys spending time in nature on his 13acre property. During the summer, he heads up to Michigan to find remote spots for hiking, or messes around with finances and stocks (“seeing how much money I can lose!”) He also enjoys spending quality “We just have the best time with his mother students… The fact that I and his sister, who get to make music with the teaches at Meadowview Elementary. His brother kids I enjoy being around was a high school band is just fantastic, and to teacher in Oklahoma have that finished product City, so “all of us kids every time we do a concert were teachers, one way or another.” is a wonderful bonus on

Regardless, Brad is coming away with many great memories of his time at Northridge, including performing some of his favorite music at high levels with the students. At time of writing, he was looking forward to two pieces in particular. “I’m doing a couple of those pieces here in our concert in the spring: “Song top of everything else.” The decision to retire for Lindsay” and “By My Side” by this year was extremely Andrew Boysen, Jr. We’ve had difficult, but in the end wonderful performances of these in past years, Brad believes it is the right one. “I’m definitely so I get to relive those memories and make new going to miss all the students and the great ones with the students… We’re combining the people that I get to work with here. But it’s time Symphonic band and Concert band together as for somebody else to take over, and they can a grand finale on our last concert, to perform do great things with the great people that are “By My Side.” That will be a lot of fun.” After 20 years serving the band students at Northridge, Brad is most grateful for the students and colleagues he has known. “We just have the best students… The fact that I get to make music with the kids I enjoy being around is just fantastic, and to have that finished product every time we do a concert is a wonderful bonus on top of everything else.” Whatever he embarks on next, it’s clear that his impact in so many student’s lives will resonate for years to come.

Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream

Ice cream is a go-to dessert in warm weather. Creamy, cold and refreshing, ice cream makes for the perfect complement to a hot afternoon. Ice cream can be served in various ways, including in a cup, on a cone, in sundae form accompanied by a bevy of favorite toppings, or mounded on a hot waffle. This cool treat is also stupendous in shakes or as the a la mode when served alongside pies and cakes. There's just no end to the ways ice cream can be enjoyed. While it's perfectly acceptable to head to the nearest supermarket freezer section for a pint or two of the cold stuff, many people overestimate how much work goes into making ice cream at home. Anyone can whip up their own custom flavors and keep the freezer stocked with fresh desserts. Start with base ingredients for basic vanilla ice cream, courtesy of The Food Network, and then customize with creativity. Yields 1 quart 3 cups heavy cream 1 cup whole milk 3/4 cup sugar 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract Kosher salt 5 large egg yolks Whisk the cream, milk, sugar, vanilla, and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Beat the egg yolks in a medium bowl. Slowly whisk 1 cup of the hot cream mixture into the beaten yolks, then pour back into the saucepan, whisking, and return to medium heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the mixture thickens, coats the spoon and reaches 180 F on a thermometer, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain the custard through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or measuring cup; discard the solids. Stir often until the mixture cools to room temperature. Lightly press plastic wrap directly against the surface of the custard to prevent a skin from forming. Chill until cold, about 3 hours. Freeze the mixture in an ice cream machine according to the manufacturer's instructions. Place the ice cream in the freezer to set up for at least 1 hour.

Grilling season presents ample opportunities to explore new culinary horizons. Just about anything that can be cooked indoors also can be prepared outdoors over an open flame. And many foodies insist that grilling produces unique flavors that simply cannot be replicated when cooking via other means. Individuals looking to stray from grilling season staples like hot dogs and hamburgers can try this recipe for "Mojito Fish Steaks" courtesy of Andrew Schloss' "Cooking Slow: Recipes for Slowing Down and Cooking More" (Chronicle Books).

Mojito Fish Steaks

Makes 4 servings 4 firm-fleshed fish steaks, such as salmon, swordfish, kingfish,or sable, each 6 to 8 ounces, about 3/4inch thick 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper For the Mojito Mop: 3 tablespoons light rum Juice and finely grated zest of 1 large lime 1 tablespoon canola oil 1 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce 1 tablespoon sugar 4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves Light a grill for indirect low heat, about 200 F. If using a charcoal grill, build a small charcoal fire at one end of the grill. If using a gas grill, set a burner at one end of the grill to medium-low. Put the grill grate on the grill and clean the grill grate with a wire brush. Coat the fish steaks with 2 tablespoons olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Set aside for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, make the mop: In a small bowl, stir together the rum, lime juice, canola oil, hot-pepper sauce, sugar, and 3 tablespoons of the mint leaves. Brush the grill grate with olive oil. Put the fish on the grill away from the heat, spoon 1 tablespoon of the mop over each fish steak, cover the grill, and cook until the fish steaks flake to gentle pressure, about 1 hour, basting with mop about every 5 minutes. Serve each fish steak scattered with the remaining inMiddlebury Magazine | JUNE 2022 27
