Editor’s Note Do you like good stories? We do, too. We added a couple of features last year that, we think, are helping to share some of those good stories – our Veterans’ Spotlight and Someone You Should Know inMiddlebury. For our January issue, both of those provide us with some wonderful stories that I hope you really enjoy. I certainly did. We area also sharing a story by one of our regular contributors, Gloria Salavarria, this month. Along with being a wonderful photographer, Gloria loves to travel to meet new people and see the world. We are sharing a story she sent to us about a trip to a volcanic island near New Zealand for a couple of reasons. One is that it is fascinating and fun to read. And, it serves to encourage us all to look around for adventure and perhaps write our own stories about them. As the movie “UP” reminds us, “Adventure is out there!”

New Year Each new year brings a new set of resolutions and goals for the 12 months ahead. It is the one time of year that we all stop to reflect and plan for strengthening ourselves, our communities, our faith, the list goes on…While some may alter their resolution with each new year, at the Boys & Girls Club our New Year’s resolution is always the same – to serve youth and families better than the year before, to touch more lives, and to enrich our community in a meaningful way. It’s resolutions like these that fuel programs like our teen leadership group, Keystone Club. Like the organization as a whole, Keystone Club seeks to serve the community and impact those around them in a positive way. The teens who participate in Keystone Club take part in brainstorming, planning, and executing projects related to academic success, character development and service to the community. This winter, the Middlebury Keystone Club took their leadership to the next level and hosted the first-ever teen-led dialogue with local law enforcement. This dialogue allowed teens and local law enforcement to come together, ask questions of one another, and most importantly, build trust.
Middlebury Schools Police Officer Jeremy Shotts was one of four law enforcement officers to visit the Boys & Girls Club and answer questions posed by the teens.
Middlebury Police officers Doug Edlund, left, and Gary Smith, right, joined teens at the Boys & Girls Club to discuss how law enforcement and teens interact.
“It’s so important to us that the youth we serve have positive interactions and relationships with law enforcement,” says Rhonda Eicher, teen services coordinator for the club. “And it’s important to our teens that they have the opportunity to talk with officers and break down walls that might exist because of misperceptions or fear.” Though the dialogue was a first for the Boys and Girls Club, Keystone Club hopes to host more opportunities for youth and law enforcement to come together and build relationships. “There doesn’t need to be any prejudice against law enforcement and there definitely doesn’t need to be prejudice against any groups of teens,” stated Keystone member Julia Mumford, reflecting on her thoughts about the dialogue. And it’s meaningful events like these that will help ensure that reality.

Outdoor LIVING
Winter is for Reading by Carla Gull
While I love sledding, looking for tracks in the snow, and building snow forts, I also relish curling up inside with a good book on a chilly day. With a focus on children and families outside, I compiled a list of good reads for the winter months. Here are my top picks: •
The Last Child in the Woods. Richard Louv started the movement and sets the foundation for getting children back to nature. So many have called this a life-changing book, bringing them back to their childhood spent outdoors and helping them dream of this possibility for our next generation.
•
Balanced and Barefoot. Angela Hanscom, a pediatric occupational therapist, has a unique look on how natural free play supports all developmental domains of the child. With the recent rise in sensory issues, children are often missing sensory input from nature play. Hanscom makes the case for including nature.
•
15 Minutes Outside. Rebecca Cohen shares a plethora of outside activities to explain the importance of getting in nature on a daily basis. She lists activity ideas by day and season, meaning there is a great idea to get outside today!
“Time in nature is not leisure time; it’s an essential investment in our children’s health (and also, by the way, in our own).” – Richard Louv •
How to Raise a Wild Child. Dr. Scott Sampson from Dinosaur Train explains the importance of kids spending time in nature. This book gives parents, educators and caregivers the rationale and tools to get children outside.
Many of these titles are available from the Middlebury Public Library. Check out a book today! Use down time in the winter to gain inspiration for getting outside. Understand the rationale while getting practical ideas for activities in the wild. As adults in various roles as parents, educators, grandparents, and community members, we are often the gatekeepers to allowing nature-based free play. Find out how you can help get children outside one book and one activity at a time this winter. “The woods were my Ritalin. Nature calmed me, focused me, and yet excited my senses.” – Richard Louv 8 inMiddlebury Magazine | January 2017

Flower Fund Donations
The Middlebury Parks Department purchases, plants and maintains the flowers in the downtown light pole hanging baskets every year. We rely on community donations to the “Town Flower Fund” to pay for these flowers and other annual plantings in Krider Gardens. A Flower Fund donation flyer Photo: ee came with your December John McK water bill. Donations may also be taken at the Middlebury Town Hall any time of the year. A donation of $40 pays for one light pole with two baskets, but any amount you feel you can give will be appreciated. The generous support from the community has allowed us to beautify the town of Middlebury with flowers for many years. Please help us continue to make Middlebury beautiful for both residents and visitors.
The Giving Tree
You’ve probably walked past the Giving Tree in the Middlebury Town Hall many times, but have you ever stopped to admire the workmanship or see what it’s all about? It was created in 2010 as an Eagle Scout project by Tom Nowak and it is a permanent record of major donations to the Middlebury parks. Each leaf on the tree has the name of the donor, the date, and the purpose of the donation. The tree is made of five kinds of wood: maple, oak, hickory, walnut, and poplar. The wood was donated by Dana Photo: Elm a Chapman Snider and ARC Awards contributed to the cost of the leaves. There are still a lot of blank leaves, ready to record future donations!

Distinguished in many ways by Guy Thompson
Alyssa Hochstetler has a very busy winter ahead. The Northridge High School senior first heads for Washington, D.C., in mid-January, followed by a trip to Kokomo, Ind., for a week in mid-February. For a student who has only missed two days of school aside of a few sick days, it’s a lot of time away from school. But it’s for a couple of incredible opportunities for her. In December, Hochstetler was preparing for her first big trip of 2017. She will attend the Presidential Inauguration
Leadership Summit January 18-20 in Washington, D.C. According to their website, the summit is “a once-in-alifetime opportunity to witness history and play a role in your future. As a Summit Delegate, you will attend the historic 58th Presidential Inauguration on the National Mall, be inspired by world-renowned speakers, participate in events that will solidify your path to becoming a future leader, and connect with like-minded, high-aspiring students.” It begins with a reception to meet the others from around the country attending the summit. Along with getting to witness the inauguration, they will hear from an array of worldrenowned leaders, influencers and celebrities, including former Secretary of State General Colin L. Powell, director/ writer Spike Lee, Olympic Soccer Gold Medalist Abby Wambach, and more.
Right now, though, Hochstetler is focused on a presentation for the summit. She has applied to present on the topic of “Pathways to Power: Women and Global Leadership.” “I have a lot of reading over Christmas break,” she said. The summit s as the 201 Among her dutie will break the scholars chstetler part Ho Young Woman, t the commu ou gh ou thr s tie into small-group breakout ivi act delegations to tackle important topics such as the role of women in leadership, something that is close to Hochstetler’s heart. Top presentations will be selected for scholarships. “I really hope I get that topic,” she said. “I’m involved in a lot of leadership roles and I want to expand on that role in the future.” Hochstetler then heads a little closer to home in February, competing in the state’s 60th Annual Distinguished Young Women program in Kokomo the week of Valentine’s Day. Hochstetler won the Middlebury program at the end of July, earning $2,200 in scholarships. She took top spot in the interview, scholastic, talent and Be Your Best Self categories. “I’m prepping a lot for it right now,” she stated. Most of that is working on the fitness and interviews. “I’m exercising every day.” Family and friends are helping her with the interview by asking various questions as she works on how to present who she is. She is also practicing her piano piece for the talent portion. She admitted that the fitness portion will be one of her bigger challenges at the competition.

Alyssa Hochstetler took the top spot in the talent portion of the Middlebury Distinguished Young Women program this past summer with a wonderful piano performance. She will take that talent to the state final in February.
Young women who are seniors this year can compete. “You only have one chance to do it and give it your all,” Hochstetler noted. The goal, naturally, is to make it to the tinguished 17 Middlebury Dis and other es rad pa in nationals. ted ipa tic

There will be around 20 at the state competition, with the winner traveling to the national level, held in Alabama in June. “I’m really excited by everything we get to do,” she said. During the week-long program, she will join the others for tours of businesses around Kokomo, receptions and a service project. “It’s part of the Be Your Best program,” she said of the service project. She listed off the program’s goals: “It encourages young girls to be healthy and ambitious and involved and responsible and studious.” Hochstetler will be assigned an age group to work with on a service project. Locally, she has worked with the Middlebury Boys and Girls Club, focusing on girls and ways to help empower them to set and achieve their goals. “One thing we do is to have them write down what they want to improve on,” she said.
diploma program that is known for the time it takes up in a student’s schedule. Even with that, Hochstetler is involved in numerous clubs, service organizations and activities. One she singled out was her continuing volunteer efforts at the Middlebury Food Pantry, something she began in 8th grade as part of the middle school’s Civics in Action program. “It’s important to be involved in whatever environment you’re in,” she noted. As Hochstetler works hard over Christmas break, preparing for the opportunities and challenges coming her way in 2017, young ladies around Middlebury can look to her for what the idea of “empowered” means – “to be stronger and more confident, especially in controlling their life and claiming their rights.”

The White Island crater steams in the South Pacific.
One of the larger, noisier vents degassing into the atmosphere.
A Visit to a Volcano
By Gloria Salavarria
The alarm went off at 4 a.m. and I got up—unsure whether or not I’d get the “go ahead” to visit White Island, the world’s only volcano with an easily accessible mouth. Live volcanoes are temperamental beasts and I was told one can never be too sure. Those who would transport me by boat across 31 miles of South Pacific Ocean to this smoking land just off the coast of New Zealand’s North Island told me I could get my money back if we got a “no go.” Somewhere in New Zealand, scientists are monitoring this and other volcanic islands lined up along this eastern-most edge of the Indo-Australian tectonic plate for seismic activity, and then they flip a coin as to whether the danger of the day would be “go” or “don’t even think about it!” It would take a good part of a day to get to White Island and back again—hence the early morning reveille. I dialed the tour office and the word was “It’s a go—be ready to depart at 6 a.m. sharp.” Unlike other volcanoes that require a helicopter or 4-wheeldrive vehicle, White Island has a mouth into which one can arrive by boat and walk from the shore right into the crater without having to climb over a rim. White Island sits in the Bay of Plenty just off the north coast of New Zealand’s North Island—right on the ridge where the Pacific tectonic plate slips underneath the Indo-Australian tectonic plate. 14 inMiddlebury Magazine | january 2017
This is part of the famous “Ring of Fire” that extends up through California, Alaska, the Japanese Islands, etc.—essentially the rim of the Pacific Ocean. When I bought my ticket, I was advised to wear sturdy shoes, warm clothing and bring extra water as this would be more than the usual “drive-you-to-the-spot-and-out-of-the-bus-to-take-thesnapshot-of-a-lifetime” tourist venue. Volcanic hotspots attract me like a shopping mall attracts normal women. I just have to see Nature’s cauldron boil and bubble so it was a “given” that I’d want to see White Island before leaving New Zealand. The crew on board the Peejay V issued each of us a hard hat and gas mask—and safety instructions included not only the usual ones about life jackets, but what to do in case of an eruption or a sudden venting of noxious (and dangerous) gases. The boat ride itself takes an hour with an extra half-hour allowed in the event we spotted dolphins or other sea life along the way. We indeed saw dolphins—both on the way to s low-grad The island’s sulfur wa ironwork and from the island. The ship’s guide the w, No . zer tili fer a as in the islan informed us that these were “common” rapidly deteriorating dolphins—the variety most often spotted in the world’s oceans, but they were an uncommon sight to most of us who were on board—as could be heard from the clicking of cellphone cameras and other
digital instruments. When Captain James Cook first saw this island in 1769 he named it “White” Island—because, after a while, one does get sick and tired of coming up with new and interesting names for places. At the time, it was said that Cook didn’t realize this was a volcanic island. Unfortunately in 1914, ten men and a cat found that out the hard way when the southeastern rim of the crater collapsed and killed all but the cat. The cat, whose name was Peter, went on to fame and glory on mainland New Zealand and became “Peter the Great”—sire of numerous feline offspring—a definite case of survival of the smartest. Our landing site wasn’t far from the factory—our dock was the remains of the factory’s jetty which now serves as the landing ramp for the Peejay White Island Tour’s zodiac. White Island’s regular residents now are only gannets, mutton birds, seagulls and what is believed to be a very small population of Polynesian rats. New Zealand’s Department of Conservation isn’t concerned about the rats—normally regarded as a pest on the mainland. Neither are they concerned about the gannets, mutton birds and seagulls, which aren’t endangered. As it is, the odds are pretty good the volcano itself will dispatch all life on this island in the near future. We were told before we disembarked that we would be standing on a volcano that was at alert level 1 on a scale that ranges from 0 to 5 (0 being a “no go”)—and the only other volcano in New Zealand at this moment that rated as high was Mount Ruapehu. That meant mild steam venting and rumbling but nothing more earth-shaking—literally. Instead, we stood on top of soil so warm we could feel it up through our shoes and it wasn’t just solar warmth that we were feeling. There was only two miles between us and magma. After picking our way through a field of boulders, we assembled in front of our guide who again told us the safety rules and pointed out the ridge behind which we were to hide in the event of an eruption. What surprised me was “run like hell to the beach and start swimming toward the boat” weren’t part of the instructions. Instead, the rule was that we should lay flat behind a ridge with our backpack covering and protecting our head and neck— and wear our gas mask—a rule I ricultural use ag thought was more suitable to WWI for te ua eq ad t de bu the factory are in France than an unpredictable ks and concrete of osphere. nd’s sulfur-laden atm volcano a-hissing and a-rumbling out in the middle of the South Pacific. We were also issued small hard candies—lollies—and we were told to pop them in our mouth and suck on them as we

walked through our tour of the crater. This was a useful ruse to get us to keep our mouths shut and breathe more through our nose, thus keeping our throats moist and less irritated by the vapors coming from the volcano. We quickly learned that the volcano is fairly saturated with fresh water from rains, and that the water level in the crater lake had risen—and that there is a danger, particularly with the unstable ash soil that makes up the island—that there will be a breech and all that water will come flooding down the floor on which we were standing. But for now, there was just a stream trickling by and we stopped to put our hands in the water. The water felt warm to the touch—as warm as you’d like your bathwater to be—but then I felt the tingle. The water is very acidic—not suitable for bathing. The water in the stream was a pH factor of 1 on an acidity scale that runs up to 7 being neutral and higher than 10 being basic. We were soon to learn that the lake itself is a pH factor of 0 and has registered into the negative numbers—a fact they didn’t mention as being possible in the chemistry classes I took back in high school. Definitely not a place for a swim but a good place to dispose of a body—which is what they think happened to a sulfur mining foreman who one night “went missing” and all that was found of him were a pair of boots placed next to a crater. The authorities never found out what really happened to the guy so the case was ruled a suicide though foul play was suspected. We weren’t told when to put our gas masks on but it wasn’t long before sucking on lollies just wasn’t good enough to stop us from coughing. Actually, we were there on a very good day—clear and with enough of a breeze to keep the vapors from becoming too irritating. Damp, overcast days are not good days to visit a volcano because these conditions just intensify the irritation that the volcano’s gases will cause. We were also told that we should not only keep to the trail but stay away from areas where the soil is white because that indicates a hot spot and the possibility of thin crust through

which you could break through and suffer a nasty burn—or worse. When we reached the lake, we were told to go no closer than 5 meters (15 feet) but any closer wasn’t necessary. The waters were an eerie milky light blue with dark ghost patches running across the surface—the shadows of the vapors rising up from the waters. After Europeans arrived and began divvying up New Zealand, the Māoris claimed they owned White Island, but this claim wasn’t taken too seriously. There was no evidence that they ever lived on the island so the island became “Crown” land—eventually sold to a long succession of men who tried to make a commercial go of it. White Island’s crater eventually proved to be a financial “hole in the ground” as rumor of its high-grade sulfur deposits proved to be unfounded. Efforts to mine what sulfur was there for agricultural purposes proved to be both dangerous and unprofitable so mining activities ceased in 1933. The island was then purchased by a guy who said he rather liked the idea of owning a volcano (I can understand that). It’s still privately owned but maintained as a marine reserve and as a place for scientific study and eco-tourism. The last time there was an eruption here was March 2000. Three small vents on the north wall of the crater began emitting ash. Over the next three days, the vents merged into one. The volcano continued emitting ash until September—barring visits by all but the most dedicated of volcanologists. This is what White Island does—it doesn’t spew out lava, it blows ash and rocks—and because of that, it erodes more rapidly than a lava volcano. This erosion into the sea, over time, builds up an undersea plateau that at some point will be lifted up to form dry land—more land to be added to New Zealand’s North Island—by the activity of the Pacific tectonic plate sliding underneath the Indo-Australian plate. This is how New Zealand itself was formed by the combined activities of lava and ash-spewing volcanoes and by undersea plateaus being lifted up by tectonic action. One of the people in my group mentioned that iron in the black volcanic sands on the West Coast makes it impossible for people to use metal detectors to find items along the beach. Indeed, New Zealand is rich in iron ore which has made this
archipelago a good place for humans to settle—first the Moriori natives, then the Māori and now the Pakeha (Europeans). After a lunch on board the Peejay V, we headed back to Whakatane by sailing around the island for one last look. The north side of the island has some trees taking root to form a forest but the bare remains of a previous attempt by trees to reforest this island shows that such efforts take time and patience. The Bay of Plenty in which White Island sits is itself the remains of a volcano—a super-volcano. Later that afternoon, after I got back to shore, I was amazed at how salty my skin tasted—more so than what I had experienced before when venturing out to the sea on other occasions. When I looked into the mirror, I discovered my clothing had been mildly bleached. This condition was temporary, as the lighter color “came out in the wash” later, when I did my laundry. It is a good thing that I don’t have clothes that I care about on this trip. Four days later, an island just north of White Island erupted and made me realize just how dangerous it was to visit White Island. They still haven’t found one of New Zealand’s Department of Conservation workers who was taking temperature readings along that island’s crater lake just before the eruption. New Zealand may not have to worry much about cyclones but they’ve got other things such as earthquakes and active volcanoes to take up the slack.
One of the island’s hydrothermal vents emitting a mixture of steam, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide—the latter of which precipitates out as sulfur crystals.
Rocks and boulders along the shoreline were an obstacle after climbing the ladder and crossing a narrow bridge over the part where the jetty had cracked open.
New Life Bookstore closes Tucked away just around the corner from Main Street, the New Life Bookstore has offered an array of religious books and items since 1973, originally named the Gospel Bookstore. However, the store is set to close as the building owner plans to expand their business into that space after the first of the year.
New Life Book
Lamar Mishler has owned the bookstore since July 1982, when he moved back to Middlebury from Virginia. “It looked like a good thing to do,” Mishler said of the opportunity. At the time, the store also had a Radio Shack section and utilized the entire building on the corner of Main and Wayne streets in Middlebury. In 1995, another business moved into the front section of the building and the bookstore took up the back portion. With the advent of online shopping and large, corporate

Memories: Part of my “A” school training was learning how to properly pack emergency parachutes used in various types of Naval aircraft. To test our skills we were given the opportunity to jump out of an aircraft to “test” a parachute we had personally packed. Since emergency parachutes don’t have static lines we were instructed to jump out and “count to three,” then pull the rip cord. When I jumped out I was so scared I forgot to count! As soon as I came to my senses I pulled the rip cord. I was upside down when the parachute came out between my legs and when it opened I got whiplashed around. After seeing the nice full canopy, I settled down and got to enjoy a wonderful view and the quiet solitude that only a parachute jump can give you! This was to be my one and only parachute jump to date. As a parachute rigger in Naval

Aviation I spent eight years at different duty stations. It just so happened that none of that time was spent on a ship. My sea duty consisted of overseas land-based squadrons. As I look back I wished I had spent some time on a ship and gotten my sea legs. My first duty station was VP-17 based at Barbers Point, Hawaii. I spent a lot of time at the beaches swimming and body surfing. I still remember the time I went out to the USS Arizona memorial. It is a very solemn reminder of the men that lost their lives on December 7, 1941. My next duty station was with VC-5 Det. Cubi Point in the Philippines. I enjoyed the three years I was stationed in the Philippines. The town outside the Subic Bay Naval Base had a lot of people just looking to try to separate a young sailor from his money. They were quite good at this and were taking advantage of the guys from the ships that pulled liberty at Subic Bay. Those of us who were stationed there quickly learned how to avoid them. Upon seeing the locals (for some strange reason we called them “Joes”) approaching us we would call out “STATIONED” and they would quickly move on to easier pickings, knowing we wouldn’t fall for their tricks. The Filipino people who lived in the countryside were the opposite. They were very giving and I got thanked numerous times for something my fellow older WW2 service members did years before me. The older Filipinos never forgot that it was the Americans who drove out the Japanese during WW2. Many opened their homes and hearts to me during my three years there. I re-enlisted during my tour in the Philippines. When my tour was up I was sent to the Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in Washington State for four years. During my time there, my family (I was now married with two children) and the families of the sailors I worked with would go camping on the weekends. We would go up in the Cascade Mountains, following the logging roads in the national forest and camp. It was cheap and a lot of fun. After my active duty I joined the Naval Reserves and attended college at Skagit Valley Community College in Mount Vernon, Wash., where I got an ATA in electronics. I returned to Middlebury and worked as an electronics technician, electrician, and machine maintenance technician. I’m presently employed at Atlas Die LLC as an electro-mechanical technician. I travel to six different plants for various machine and facility repairs. My wife of 17 years is Patricia Berry. My daughter is Mary Jane Woods and she has given me two grandchildren. My son Glenn passed away in May 2004. My wife and I enjoy camping, hiking, biking and motorcycle riding. I’m a past commander of Middlebury American Legion Post 210. I’m also a charter member of and was the first director of Post 210’s American Legion Riders. I’m presently the scholarship chairman and executive committee member of Middlebury American Legion Post 210.
Middlebury Lions Club donates to food pantry With Christmas around the corner, the Middlebury Food Pantry receives a lot of food donations but lacks other items of necessity that are needed this time of year. The Middlebury Lions Club contacted Pam Bingaman, who runs the local pantry, and asked what it was the pantry truly needed or what they were currently short of. As a club, they collected items and monetary donations and fulfilled some of the needs for baby products, personal hygiene, and kid’s packs that contained seven or eight items ranging from fruit snacks to fruit cups, juice packs, cans of ravioli, and more. In total, the Lions ended up with 50 kid’s packs, hundreds of sanitary napkins, over 50 deodorant sticks, and an abundance of baby products ranging from diapers to wipes and powder and lotion. Overall, it was a huge success and the Lions plan to continue their strong support of the local food pantry. Middlebury Lions Club members recently donated needed supplies to the Middlebury Food Pantry. Helping out were (left to right): Front - Heather Mauck, Janice Wilchewski, Sopheap Long, Amy Miller, and Jessica Lawrence. Back - Ben Miller, Kelly Schlabach, Nathaniel Bontrager, and Clinten Lawrence.
Gary O’Dell Family: Wife Janell, sons Scot and Cory, late daughter Erin. Position: Middlebury Town Council President Hometown: Union, Mich. Family moved to Elkhart County. Graduated from Bristol High School. Moved to Middlebury in 1970. Past Work: U.S. Marine Corps veteran. “Keith Corson and I were Marine Corps buddies. He asked me to come here and join them at Coachmen,” O’Dell said. After working there for a couple of years, he moved his family to Middlebury. “I started off doing everything there. I ended up as vice president of service and did public relations work,” O’Dell said. He retired from Coachmen, but then worked at First State Bank for 19 years.
Town Council: O’Dell joined the Middlebury Town Council in 1996, replacing Lowell Miller who had taken the town manager position. “Sam Hoover and the others decided that since I had replaced Lowell at the bank, I should take over his job here,” O’Dell stated. O’Dell had served on the Elkhart County Council in the late 1970s and early 1980s. “It was kind of the same,” he noted. He became council president “about 15 years ago.” What does he enjoy about the position? “I like keeping in touch. You get to know what’s going on and get to see the people,” he said. One of the good things about being on the council is being able to help find solutions for people who come to the town with their issues, he added. “We’ve come to the conclusion that we are a conservative community. We live within our means,” O’Dell said about the council’s work. “Subsequently, by living within our means, we have the funds to accomplish other things.”

Raider MotorSports
T
he Raider MotorSports (RMS) team recently completed and submitted Phase II of the design process for the Urban Concept division of the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas competition in Detroit, Mich.
This phase included turning in plans for the propulsion system and fuel systems of the vehicle. With the completion of two deadlines, the team is now turning their focus to purchasing parts and materials to begin the construction of the vehicle. The current goal is for the vehicle to be built and driving by March 1, 2017. This will allow the team around two months of test time to find any flaws and address them. With the prototype vehicle not being selected to compete this year and last year’s unfortunate results, the team is driven and more focused to build the best possible vehicle they can as one combined team. With the combining of the two teams, it has allowed for new concepts to be tested. This year’s Urban Concept vehicle will have a completely carbon fiber frame, with some joints printed on a 3D printer. The vehicle will also have an all-LED lighting system and the Honda small engine will be modified to be fuel-injected. The team is excited to welcome Lippert Components as a partner this year. Lippert has agreed to work with the team to develop and produce the Urban Concept body.
With having to combine both teams into one, the cost for the competition has gone up. Raider MotorSports is still looking for new partners. Anyone wanting to help or sponsor can contact Crew Chief Kris Lee at 17leekh@student.mcsin-k12. org. The management team would love to meet with your or your company to present what Raider MotorSports is and what your company will get in sponsoring.
Raider MotorSports would like to thank the following partners: Platinum Level Starfleet Trucking, Inc. Patrick Industries, Inc. Lipert Components Gold Level Heartland RV, LLC. Green Level Headsight, Inc. Max Myers, Inc. Silver Level Middlebury Produce, Inc.

Giving Back
Jefferson Elementary students, staff, and parents all worked to make the Christmas season a great one for the community. The JES Canned Food Drive collected food for the Jefferson Township Food Pantry. Second graders worked together to collect food items for “Kid Packs,” which included kid-friendly food choices as well as easy-to-prepare foods. Additionally, to make the Christmas season a little warmer, the staff collected hats and gloves that were donated to the Salvation Army. Third grade students worked on projects for their annual Market Day. The students made items that could be purchased inexpensively as Christmas gifts. Third graders had to plan, market, and sell their items. They also had to buy a business license and consider things such as supply and demand, cost of materials, and market value. The whole school went to the 3rd grade classrooms to shop! Watch for upcoming events on the Jefferson Elementary Facebook page.
