American Legion
Veteran Spotlight
by Guy Thompson
Beginning this month, inMiddlebury Magazine is pleased to spotlight area veterans and their service to our county and our community. Each veteran has a different story to share, and we look forward to sharing their stories with the community. Thank you to the Middlebury American Legion Post 210 for partnering with us on this project, as well as area businesses who are sponsoring these pages.
Doug Weaver
Service after the Army:
Doug is married to Sherry Weaver. He served in the US Army from March 1969-1971 during the Vietnam War with an E-4 rank. He received the Silver Star, Bronze Star, Purple Heart, Army Commendation, Vietnam Service Medal, and others. He arrived in Vietnam in mid-July, 1969.
Following his recovery from his injuries, Weaver farmed and worked on heavy trucks. He retired last year. He has been the Post Commander for the Middlebury American Legion Post 210 for the past two years, and has held other offices for the post, including 2nd Vice Commander.
These are his memories of his time in the service: “We were sent out into the jungle for two months at a time. We never all got back,” Weaver said. He was sent out in groups of five in a squad, armed only with small arms – two M16s, a M79 grenade launcher, a M60 machine gun and either a 12 gauge or another M16. Weaver carried the machine gun. “We were within walking distance of three or four other squads, but in the jungle, we couldn’t see each other,” he said. “Our mission was to do recon and try not to get ambushed.” The squad would get resupplied through the jungle, usually every four days. The squad’s only communication was by radio. “We got mail every two months and clean clothes and a shower at the same time at the headquarters fire base,” Weaver recalled. “We never saw a town.” Weaver was wounded on February 9, 1970. “When it was over, only a few survived out of all four squads,” Weaver said. Weaver was picked up by a small chopper that was there to call in artillery, he added. “They saw me crawling out to a landing zone, a swamp, out of the tree line. They held me on a runner because it was only a two man chopper,” Weaver said. The medivac choppers had already left as they didn’t know that anyone was left alive. “I don’t remember anything until I woke up in a hospital in Japan six weeks later,” Weaver said. He spent the next several months in the hospital in Japan and then at Ft. Knox, Kentucky. While he was in the hospital in Japan, he pointed out, the only communication with his family was by telegram sent by the Army to the Sheriff’s Department, who would then deliver it to his family. 6 inMiddlebury Magazine | November 2015
Last summer, Doug Weaver attended the Rotors and Ribs event at the Goshen Airport, where he rode in a Huey helicopter, right, the first time he had been in one since he was flown out of the jungles of Vietnam after being seriously wounded.
Below, Weaver receives the Bronze Star in 1970, which is awarded for “heroic or meritorious service.”
Bobbie Yoder
Service after Marine Corps:
Bobbie is married to Doris Yoder. He served in the US Marine Corps from January 1952 to January 1955 with the rank of Corporal. Places he served: 1952 – San Diego, Calif., Recruit Depot 11; Oceanside, Calif.; Camp Pendleton, 1952-1953; Korea for 15 months, 19531954; San Diego, Calif., 1954 until discharged.
Upon his return home, Yoder worked in a flour mill and “I met a beautiful young lady,” he said. He married Doris three and a half months later on September 30, 1955, and just celebrated their 60th Anniversary. They have three children, five grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren.
He received the Good conduct medal, Korea Battle Medal, Battle of East Berlin in 1953, and completed land mine marshal school with honors. He served in the 9th Marines 3rd Marine Division, Anti-tank Company; 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division Anti-Tank Company; 75mm recoilless rifle antitank weapon crew – Korea.
Yoder has been a member of the American Legion for 32 years, as well as a member of the DAV – Life Member. He is also a member of the American Legion Riders of Indiana – Post 210. He was the 3rd District Sergeant of Arms, 1995-1996.
Memories of time in service: “We boarded a troop ship in San Diego and spent 21 days on the way to Korea,” Yoder said. They stopped at Sasbo, Japan, before going on to Inchon, Korea. “Fifteen months later, we boarded the ship at Inchon and spent sixteen days on the way home. We went under the Golden Gate Bridge at San Francisco,” Yoder recalled. He had a 30 day leave at home before finishing up his last three months on his tour of duty. He spent that time as an M.P. at the Marine Corps Recruiting Depot at San Diego. Yoder was also once in one of the trenches during testing of an atomic bomb.
“I have been to many military funerals and parade details,” Yoder said. “I still like to ride my Harley-Davidson on fund raisers and stand the flag line to honor our former veterans. I am honored to have served this great nation. God bless America.”
Above, Bobbie Yoder during his time in Korea as part of a 75mm recoilless rifle anti-tank crew. Right, Marine Cpl. Bobbie Yoder in his dress uniform. Yoder served in the Marines from January 1952 to January 1955.
“Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But the Marines don’t –President Ronald Reagan, 1985 have that problem.”

Mini-Golf
at the Library A mini-golf course will once again wind its way around the bookshelves and computer desks, past the reading area and back through the children’s section as the Middlebury Community Library is once again transformed into a mini-golf course. Saturday, Nov. 14 marks the 5th anniversary of Mini Golf @ the Library. This has become a featured annual family event in the Middlebury community where kids of all ages can play a round of golf amid stacks of books in the library. The public can play the course from 9 am to 4 pm on the 14th. On Friday night, Nov. 13 from 7-9 pm, adults can enjoy the fun at Friday Night Tee Time which offers a round of Mini-Golf and 19th hole reception with wine tasting. This is Middlebury Community Enrichment Council’s (MCEC) 5th year hosting the popular Mini Golf @ the Library. MCEC is comprised of the Friends of Middlebury Parks, the Friends of the Middlebury Community Public Library and the Middlebury Community Historical Museum. The MCEC earnings are divided equally among these organizations and used to fund programs such as the Library’s Yak, Snack & Read, the Historical Museum’s latest exhibit and the Park’s Trails of Middlebury projects.
John Shoup, center, founder of Cardinal Bus in Middlebury, has championed Mini-Golf at the Library since it started five years ago. Shoup is joined by Richard Smith, left, and Dick Cook, right, members of the Middlebury Community Enrichment Council. They are preparing for this year’s event, scheduled for November 14, 9 am to 4 pm.

around TOWN | Boys & Girls Club
Thankfully Giving by Christina Klotz, Program Director at the Boys and Girls Club
Thanks and giving are words often heard in November. Our heads are quickly filled with visions of cornucopias, family food, opportunities to help others and, of course, holiday shopping. At the Boys & Girls Club, November presents a number of unique opportunities for our members and our community to be thankful and give back.
Instilling a Sense of Service While all members are encouraged daily to give back to the club in small ways, such as putting games away, washing windows, sweeping floors, the teen members are pushed to do more. It is through the Torch and Keystone clubs that middle and high school students, respectively, are able to take volunteering to a different level. Both groups help the staff throughout the building by assisting with programs for the younger members. Members of both service groups also volunteer throughout the community. The Taeler and Cris harvesting potatoes. groups have helped the Elkhart Club with their Teen Kickoff Event; have volunteered at the Food Pantry, with Seed to Feed, and at many other agencies. They are always looking for new avenues to use their talents. The Keystone Club is especially excited about the opportunity to travel again next summer and participate in a summer service project. When asked about the highlights of service trips the answer is often surprising – the teens tend to find the most joy in meeting new people and helping others.
Community Support November is also the month that the club hosts our signature event – the Annual Holiday Dinner Auction. This year the dinner auction is set to occur the evening of November 21. The club gym will be transformed into a hall fit for a gala. The evening gives the community the opportunity to support the mission of the Boys & Girls Club by attending the event, and through donating or purchasing one of the many auction items. Those who have never attended should speak to one who has. Furthermore, if so inclined, ask how to get involved with the dinner auction or one of the other events that supports the Boys & Girls Club.
Jacob and Haley volunteering at the Middlebury food pantry.
It is only through the generosity of our members and community that the club can exist. Through the time, talent and treasure that many are willing to share, the Boys & Girls Club continues to grow to serve the children. This combined effort of many means that the club members continue to receive outstanding opportunities to experience new things, to serve others, to make new friends. As we enter a time of thanks and giving, please consider how you can give back to the community and the children.

A 1621 Harvest Feast
Do you have a favorite Thanksgiving food? Turkey, ham, cranberry sauce? I know I always look forward to ham, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie.
Story and Photos by Dr. Carla Gull
A wigwam and drying food at Gathering of Five Medals.
None of these were part of the traditional harvest feast, though. Step back in time to 1621 near Cape Cod. Colonists from England were in an impoverished state after a hard winter. Squanto, of the Pawtuxet tribe, taught the Plymouth settlers how to live in this new land, including growing corn, tapping maple trees for syrup, catching local animals, and understanding plants. He helped the group build a relationship with the local Wampanoags. The Wampanoag Indians and Plymouth settlers partook in an autumn feast in Massachusetts Bay, most likely in October. Many foods on the menu during this threeday meeting would most likely have been foraged, although some foods were cultivated, like corn, cabbage, onions, and squash. The only written account includes wildfowl and venison as part of the celebration. Typical harvest foods of the time included food from the sea. While cranberries might have been foraged, they were not made into a cranberry sauce. Sugar supplies were low. Few if any sweets were served, although maple sugar or syrup might have been used for flavoring. To learn more about eating wild today, find the Eat Wild Facebook group.

Prepping acorns with modern equipment.
During the 1621 Harvest Feast, hunting, games, and feasts were part of the festivities. The groups sang, danced, and played ball games. Today, we often celebrate with football games, turkey trots, and family gatherings. As we gather to give thanks, perhaps we might also give thanks for the bountiful land that provided then and provides today. We can show that gratitude by being responsible stewards and using resources wisely.

All About that Mandolin 20 inMiddlebury Magazine | November 2015
By Stephanie J. Salisbury
Local young man Ethan Setiawan calls himself an “autodidact,” which simply means a “self-taught person.” He began playing the cello at age eight but, around age twelve or thirteen, got bored with it and began to branch out. This fall, he started school at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts, majoring in Mandolin Performance. A contemporary music school instead of a classical conservatory, Berklee is quite prestigious and has turned out such alumni as Megan Trainor, John Mayer, and Esperanza Spalding, to name a few. “A friend of my family’s is a professional musician who’s a great multi-instrumentalist, and he was able to loan me a succession of instruments to try,” Ethan says. Before settling on the mandolin, he dipped his toe in the waters of the ukulele, mountain dulcimer, fiddle, guitar, and banjo. Eventually, the mandolin became his instrument of choice and he was good – very, very good. Ethan won the National Mandolin Championship in 2014 and was awarded a full ride scholarship to Berklee College of Music. He was also selected to attend the Acoustic Music Seminar this year. “The Acoustic Music Seminar is a week-long program produced by the Savannah Music Festival,” Ethan explained. Some of Ethan’s other musical activities include being part of the bands Mutual Kumquat and Theory Expats. Both of these groups have released CDs this year. Theory Expats’ CD is called What A Way to Start Your Day, and Mutual Kumquat’s album is titled Let It Be Revealed. He recently performed in late August at Goshen College’s Umble Hall with Theory Expats.

What’s next for Ethan? “I aspire to be a full time touring musician,” he says. “After college, I hope to have a band and be able to spend most of my time on the road.” Best of luck to you, Ethan, in college and beyond!

Gordy Nusbaum Reflections on Nusbaum’s service to the community Story by Guy Thompson Photos by Kris Mueller & Sally Nusbaum
22 inMiddlebury Magazine | November 2015
Gordon K. Nusbaum passed away on October 6 at the age of 78. Nusbaum lived in and served the Middlebury community for all of his life, most recently as the Township Trustee from 1987 until his passing. He began when the office was also the Township Assessor, before it split and he became the Township Trustee. As a Township Trustee, Nusbaum was instrumental in making the Middlebury Fire Department what it is today. He was at the front of the effort to get the fire department built, as well as working for eight years to have full-time paramedics on staff in Middlebury. Prior to that, medic runs required an ambulance to come from Goshen or Bristol. Nusbaum lobbied for the Middlebury Fire Department to become an advanced life support service, working with state legislators to get the funding for it, pointing to the population growth and the large numbers of workers that flooded into Middlebury every day. “The department grew from completely volunteer to part-time day and volunteers and then went full-time with part-time and volunteer. Once the EMS came over from the township and being able to combine that, he wanted to utilize what we had to the best of our ability,” said Kris Mueller, Deputy Trustee, who worked with Nusbaum for 13 years in the Trustee’s office. Nusbaum worked to make sure that the fire department was prepared to tackle even the biggest fires at any of the large industries around Middlebury, industries that the town relies on. “If one goes down due to fire, that’s a huge impact on other businesses and the town itself,” Mueller said. “He wanted to make sure people were taken care of.”
Still, in 2010, Nusbaum and his wife of nearly 50 years, Sally, were the Summer Festival Parade Marshals. He also supported other areas around the town, and took pride in Middlebury when a team or group from the school would do well, saying that would bring people to town. Nusbaum was also on the Middlebury Historical Museum Board for several years. Nusbaum was a veteran of the U.S. Army, and served with the Elkhart Police Department for 19 years. He was a member of the Mason Lodge since 1968 and the Elkhart Fraternal Order of Police. He was also the owner of The Raider Drive-in for years. “He was a gentle giant type,” Mueller said. “He always made sure his guys were taken care of.” And that extended far beyond the walls of the fire station to embrace the town and township of Middlebury.
Nusbaum worked behind the scenes, avoiding the spotlight, and preferred for others to get recognition for what they did.

Northridge High School Upcoming Events Nov. 10 Nov. 14 Nov. 18 Nov. 21-22 Nov. 25-27
Fall Sports Awards SwingFry Parent Teacher Conferences Fall Drama Thanksgiving Vacation
Northridge Drama Ushers in Christmas Season In conjunction with the Middlebury Community Christmas Season Kick Off on the weekend before Thanksgiving, Northridge High School will present “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever” as the fall theater production. Based on a well-known children’s book, this year’s performance will feature members of the Middlebury community, the high school, middle school, intermediate school, and even the elementary schools as they present the humorous, yet inspiring, story of Christmas. Performances are Saturday, November 21 at 7 pm and Sunday, November 22 at 2:30 pm at the high school auditorium. Tickets will go on sale November 1 in the high school front office for $7.00 each. Join the cast as they bring you this humorous take on the holiday season. NHS Graduates Presented IB Certificates Many wonderful things are happening in the International Baccalaureate program at Northridge High School. On September 22, 2015 several of the IB Certificate earners were presented to the school board. Mary Devore, Jessica Brewer, and Nikki Willey (pictured left to right) were presented with their certificates in Math Studies SL. In addition Northridge High School also had 105 exams taken by 36 other students. Congratulations goes to the Biology HL, Math Studies SL, and Visual Arts students who scored above the world averages on their exams.
Raider Motor Sports Students at Northridge in a class referred to as Raider Motorsports are well into the process of designing three high mileage vehicles for the 2016 Shell Eco-Marathon. The three vehicles are the gasoline prototype, diesel prototype, and a urban concept vehicle. This month we are going to focus on the prototype gasoline vehicle. A prototype vehicle is one of the two classes that compete in the competition, with the other being an urban concept. Prototype vehicles are meant to represent the future of vehicles while obtaining fuel mileages of up to 3,500 miles per gallon. Right now the gas prototype team is in the design stage and are also trying to obtain the funds to support the building of the vehicle and travel to the competition. The team has until the beginning of November to have their vehicle designed and submitted for entry into the Eco-Marathon. With the team approaching the first major deadline they are busy trying to design their vehicle in the 3D modeling software and find the parts necessary to build it. To be eligible for the Shell Eco-Marathon the team will need to hit and pass three upcoming deadlines and design inspections. The main goal of the team this year is to focus on creating a better vehicle with weight reduction and better acceleration. The lighter the car is, the less the engine has to work to move the vehicle. Also with better acceleration, the driver will be able to get the vehicle up to speed quicker and then turn it off to coast, keeping the engine on the least amount of time as possible. All three vehicles are completely funded by sponsors. If you are interested in donating money, services, or spare parts for us to use please contact Mr. Hembree at hembreek@ mcsin-k12.org or at 574-822-5353. Follow us on our road to the Shell Eco-Marathon on Twitter and Instagram @NHSsmTeam.
This article is brought to you by: Proud to be a part of our community’s past, present, and future since 1929. We encourage students to submit an application and ask us about our 4-year scholarship program for college or trade school.

We fix knees. The knee is one of the hardest working joints in the body. So when something serious goes wrong, a fix often calls for help from an orthopedic physician who really knows knees. And OSMC joint specialists really know knees. In fact, about a third of the patients who come to us with muscle and joint pain are coming because of knee problems. Many of these patients are suffering from knee pain caused by osteoarthritis. Some are experiencing trauma caused by a sports injury. And others are dealing with the general wear and tear of aging. Many of these conditions can be treated with non-surgical procedures and therapies. But for others, more involved procedures including surgery are called for. OSMC orthopedic surgeons are among the most talented in the Midwest, experienced in an extensive range of surgical techniques from minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures to the most advanced approaches to total joint replacement. So if you’re experiencing a knee condition that’s just not getting better, OSMC is here to help.
