I
n the last issue of inMiddlebury Magazine, I discussed our town government and mentioned that in each of the upcoming issues I would be highlighting the different parts. For this first issue, I’d like to begin by shining the spotlight on our Town Council. The Town Council is responsible for hiring all town employees and, if necessary, terminating their employment. The Council approves the payment of compensation to those employees and of the town’s monthly bills as well. In addition, the Council adopts ordinances and resolutions for the performance of functions within the town. It may issue bonds to help pay for town debt and may buy and sell property for town use. The five members of our Town Council are elected to four-year terms of office, and meet on the first and third Monday of each month at 6 pm at the Middlebury Town Hall on North Main Street. Each Council member is appointed by the Council President, Gary O’Dell, to be a department commissioner. In addition to being President of the Town Council, O’Dell is also the PubThis article is sponsored by:

This Month’s Featured Photographer:
Russ Draper
By Tammy Tilley
How can a color-blind photographer capture so much beauty and color in a photo? That’s the challenge for Russ Draper, and he loves when a challenge fuels the more perfectionistic side of his personality. “Photography can be a technical thing – the lighting, the feel of the photo, dialing everything in,” Draper explains. “The mechanics of the process is a big part of why I take photos, as well as feeling the satisfaction of a job well done.”
show it in such a way that it captures the emotion. “The biggest thrill I can get from photography is when I can look at some of my pictures and say, ‘That mom is going to love that picture,’ or ‘That parent is going to treasure the look on the face of his or her child.’ It brings me a lot of joy in knowing I’ve captured something that someone can enjoy forever.”
Erin Haarer, Aubree Draper

Sports Photography
Draper has always had a passion for sports. He participated in sports up through his college years, and then he coached a number of different sports. Interestingly, Draper and friend Dennis Sienicki co-founded the Middlebury Youth Football League years ago. Today, sports photography is the way he stays connected with that which was such a big part of his own growing up years. “The training I undergo in trying to perform photography well reminds me of the way I used to train myself in athletics,” he said.
Philip Keller
“
Photography is a way still to be a part of that environment: the action of sports, the sights and sounds, the smells. I especially like capturing the intensity in the face and eyes of an athlete. I love being a part of it all.

Winter Day Run
Benefits Middlebury Food Pantry By Tammy Tilley
Left to right: Barb Holaway, Middlebury Food Pantry director Pam Bingaman, & Amy Checkley
“I love winter runs,” commented Barb Holaway to her running partner, Amy Checkley, as they were training for a half marathon in the cold weather. That small comment has evolved into an entirely new adventure for the friends: a Middlebury-based non-profit business, Epiphany Promotions, with a mission to “increase donations for local charities by creating events that promote healthy living and wellness.”
ing families, single parents, or the elderly who can’t make ends meet. After the holidays, there’s a huge need for food, and we want to help meet that need.” Holaway noted that the pantry is also stocking gluten-free foods for family members with Celiac Disease. Holaway and Checkley both know what it’s like to struggle with their health. Holaway managed fibromyalgia for eight years and, before that, suffered a back injury. Checkley recently suffered a torn ACL. Nevertheless, both find ways to stay healthy on their own. “We love physical fitness and we love our community,” said Holaway. “We want to bring people together during the colder season. People tend to hibernate in the winter, but I love running in the winter. It’s awesome!”
Their inaugural event is the upcoming “Resolution Run” on New Year’s Day in Middlebury. The run is designed to encourage people who want to pursue a healthy lifestyle in 2014 and for seasoned and beginning runners who are looking for a new winter run. This 5k run/walk and 1-mile fun run will take place in the great outdoors beginning and ending at the Middlebury First Mennonite Church.
Checkley adds, “We wanted the community to have something to look forward to on a yearly basis as well as help a great cause.” What: Resolution Run, 5k run/walk; 1 mile fun walk When: January 1, 2014
Where: First Mennonite Church, 203 E. Lawrence St. Cost: $25 until December 1, then $30

Remember when
Middlebury Middies
Were Mad about Their Hoops By Tammy Tilley
M
ost people are familiar with Hoosiers, a movie set in 1954 about a small town Indiana high school team winning the state championship against a Goliath-sized school. What many of us may not realize as we prepare for a new season of hoops is that Middlebury has its own Cinderella story that unfolded in the 1950s. A state berth wasn’t on the line, but a “birth” sixteen years prior to 1956 gave cause for celebration.
On the same day in 1940, two different sets of twin boys were born into two different Middlebury families. Sixteen years later, both sets of twin boys would play basketball for the Middlebury Middies. Those twins were Rex and Ross Krider and Warren and Wayne Lambright. In 1956, they would be part of a formidable basketball team that would go on to have
Middlebury High Scho birthdays o f twins and ol coach Bob Biddle ce athletes W and Rex an ayne and W lebrates in 1956 the 1 d Ross Krid 6th arren Lam er, standin bright, sitt g. ing,
three straight winning seasons, with 1956 and 1958 being banner seasons. Those years, the Middies won two county championships.
“The whole town of Middlebury shut down and came over to that game,” adds Ross. “We led Elkhart most of the game but lost in the last few minutes.”
“Basketball was a community event,” said Wayne Lambright. “The whole town was there on Friday nights to watch the high school basketball games, and there was a lot of support from the community. I remember that very vividly,” he said, adding that the current Middlebury Elementary was the town school and the location of the games.
Those years together created an unbreakable bond between the sets of twins and their coach, Bob Biddle. Their story goes to show a sport can be more than just a game. A sport can be a life-changer.
Rex recalls the 1956 County Championship game: “The only two points I got all night were two free throws [near the end of the game], and we won 4039 against Millersburg.” While the entire community was thrilled to win yet a second county championship in 1958, the most memorable event among these sets of twins was in 1956 when the Middies came within two points of beating state finalist Elkhart in the Sectional Tournament.

featured STORY
For the
Love of Salt The s.a.l.t. sisters are a success
By Shelby Oyer
By Shelby Oyer
One vacation to Savannah, Georgia, changed Charmane Skillen’s life forever—luckily, for the better. Charmane Skillen grew up in Middlebury and moved back to the area in 2006. She began doing cooking shows at American Countryside Farmers Market in Elkhart shortly thereafter. Charmane first developed a love of cooking when she married her husband Jim. Jim has Crohn’s Disease so in order to keep her husband—and later, her kids—happy and healthy, she began experimenting with cooking.
The idea behind the name is due to more than just the fact that her company began as a salt specialty. s.a.l.t. actually stands for her four daughters’ names: Sydney, Alexis, Lauren and Taylor. After all, it was her desire to keep these daughters healthy, along with her husband, that sparked her fascination with unrefined products.
Today, s.a.l.t. sisters is much more than just salt. It was on that vacation in Savannah, inside a little spice store, that Charmane began learning all about salt. She learned that salts look and taste different depending on where they’re harvested and what trace minerals are in them. In 2007, Charmane decided to become one of the first people in the Midwest to specialize in salt. Six years later, her plan to sell unrefined salts has turned into a booming business known as s.a.l.t. sisters.
12 InMiddlebury Magazine | NOVEMBER 2013
Charmane has five product lines available: s.a.l.t, b.e.a.n, h.e.r.b, c.a.n.e, and r.u.b.s. In fact, the h.e.r.b. and r.u.b.s. lines are actually her best-selling lines, with the Tuscan Farmhouse Seasoning in the h.e.r.b. line being her best-selling product overall. To learn about all the wholesome products each line offers, visit s.a.l.t. sisters online at www.saltsistersonline.com. s.a.l.t. sisters is currently featured in around 300 stores across the country including all 21 Martin’s Supermarkets. Most of her retailers consist of smaller mom-and-pop stores, though. Charmane provides education classes and cooking classes to many of these retailers, teaching them the facts about salt that most people may not realize.

Here are some interesting, yet widely unknown, facts about salt:
Advice from
C h a rm
ane
1.
Processed vs. unrefined. First things first, Charmane teaches about the difference between processed and unrefined salt. Processed salt is what people typically think of when they hear “salt.” It’s the salt we find in our cupboards and on our tables. Processed salt has all of its trace minerals extracted and is bleached, leaving behind sodium chloride.
2.
All salt is sea salt. Many people think that
something is healthier because it says “sea salt” on the label. However, according to Charmane, all salt is sea salt. Sea salt is still processed and shouldn’t necessarily be considered “healthy.”
3.
Unrefined salt is healthy. Unrefined salt
simply means natural, non-processed salt. Unrefined salt is essential to maintaining optimal health.
4.
Salt is not a condiment. Charmane
teaches that salt should only be used to season as you cook; it should never be on the table. According to her, “The purpose of salt is to marry all the ingredients together.”

Promoting
Healthy Lifestyles
at the Boys & Girls Club
A
By Lara Wheeler, Middlebury Director
long with offering a positive place for kids to be every day after school, The Boys & Girls Club of Middlebury is also a great resource for healthy lifestyle education for youth of all ages. From teaching kindergarteners about the food plate and reading food labels to offering a year-round teen traveling sports league, the Club strives to be a positive, healthy constant in the lives of Elkhart County youth.
it is important to think about the whole being of the child, the Club designs programs to meet a specific wellness need that is also age-appropriate. Recently, the Boys & Girls Club concluded a three-month educational initiative promoting anti-tobacco and healthy lifestyles. The goal was to promote good lifestyle choices both in and out of the Club by demonstrating alternative free-time fun and providing education on the social norms of substance use in youth according to the most recent findings of the Food & Drug Administration. The Club was proud to host a photo booth at the Middlebury Summer Festival and invited members of the community to participate in an anti-drug photo opp. Club kids also made a statement by being walking billboards throughout the Club and sharing some of their positive, fun activities. Grades K-6 participated in a community-wide poster-coloring contest in late fall touting fun they can have without the use of illegal substances.
As a part of the overall wellness program, the Club offers small groups focusing on healthy relationships both for boys and girls, physical fitness challenges, and self-esteem programs. Because
The Club will always be dedicated to educating our children on how to respond to life’s difficult situations, especially peer pressures such as alcohol and tobacco use. We feel it is one of the many ways we can help guide our children through the challenges of adolescence.

IB Student Spotlight
Ana Chapman – Purdue University
Northridge Class of 2013
Ana is attending Purdue University and, as a freshman, was placed in an advanced biology/anatomy class because of her experience in IB Biology taught by National Board Certified Teacher Nancy Hannah. She said that the IB course was extremely helpful in not only learning biology but appreciating it as well. She had a discussion with her professor about some of her experiences and he was “extremely excited to learn that IB Biology students are getting this kind of learning experience.” Ana is also looking into doing an internship through Purdue at the University of North Carolina. If you know of a former Northridge IB graduate you would like to see highlighted or if you would like more information about the IB Diploma Program at NHS, please contact Shelly Wilfong at wilfongr@mcsin-k12.org.
Thanks to student and public support, Northridge was able to win the $25,000 grant. We used the money to buy thirty-five Specialized Work 1 bikes and two recumbent bikes, along with thirty-five trainers which are used to turn the bikes into stationary bikes for use inside during the winter. The next part of the process is to build a storage shed for the bikes. The PE Department is teaming up with the Industrial Technology/Engineering Department for this task. Currently, Mr. Highley’s Civil Engineering & Architecture class has been split into groups, each group coming up with their own designs for the shed and the storage system for the bikes. Groups will then come up with a blueprint for the shed along with an estimated cost for the shed and the storage system. These prints will be given to the PE Department, which will then decide which shed is the best fit for them along with any improvements or other requests. Mr. Highley’s class will work together to come up with a final print. The PE Department will acquire the needed materials for the shed and Mr. Hembree and Mr. Highley’s manufacturing classes will work to build the shed. Northridge
High School and the PE Department are grateful for this new program and are really looking forward to the neat things it will bring to the students of NHS.

Northridge to Feature Play On If you’ve ever wondered what happens before the curtain
goes up, this is the play to see. Play On is a hilarious show about a community theatre group trying its hardest to rehearse a play for performance despite the author’s changing of lines, plot, and characters. Right up to opening night, the cast struggles to learn new lines and blocking, while the director is ready to walk out the back door to avoid the impending disaster.
Left to right: Hanna Zook, Erin Weber, Brady Corns, Gabby Arnold. Back row: Heather Otto, Dylan Floor, Audrey Grewe, Sydney Fogle, and Whitney Yoder. Not pictured: Ben Helmuth.
The audience experiences what might really happen during a rehearsal: the blunders of missed lines, misspoken lines, and even lines that aren’t in the play. Add to this a set that’s not complete and an author who thinks she knows everything about the theatre (and knows nothing) and the laughter never stops. Performance dates are Friday, November 15 and Saturday, November 16 at 7:30 pm. Tickets will go on sale in the Northridge front office on October 21st for $5 each. Photo by Russ Draper

Judith Mantyla
By Danielle Miller
Eighth grade Language Arts teacher Judith Mantyla has been actively involved in the civics program at NMS. She told me about the exciting ways she gets her students involved in the community. “Civics started six years ago and has grown each year. When we started off, we had to beg people to take on eighth graders. Now, when people need volunteers, they call us. We have kids at the food pantry every weekend. They also help at other schools’ family fun nights and babysit when parent meetings are going on. We are actively involved with the Middlebury Parks Department: we rake leaves, lay mulch and manure, plant bulbs, take down non-native trees, and spring clean,” she said. The eighth grade students are also involved in several community events such as volunteering to help with the Haunted Hilly race and the Middlebury Community Public Library’s mini-golf at the library event. The student council is involved with a food drive that provides Thanksgiving meals to forty families together with the food pantry as well as providing a huge donation to stock shelves at the food pantry.
“It gets them active and involved. Kim Cammenga and Tim Luken are heavily involved as well. As a middle school teacher, I feel it is something important for me to teach even if it isn’t my curriculum,” she said. The eighth grade students at NMS also raise money for Riley’s children’s hospital through participating in a dance marathon. “We are one of the only schools in Indiana that does a dance marathon. It is run through student council. Some students are impacted by Riley’s personally. We raised $7,500 the first year. We made our goal last year to top $10,000. Students ask for pledges for hours to dance. Usually, for the eighth graders, it’s part of civics. They send letters out to businesses to cover the cost of the dance itself, so every dollar they raise goes directly to Riley’s. They raise money as well as dance six straight hours,” she said.
“Around the holidays, students send letters to soldiers overseas and ring the bell for the Salvation Army at Hardings. In the community, people know if they need help our students will help,” she said. The volunteer opportunities make up 10% of the students’ Social Studies grade. “It gives us a venue to highlight and encourage what they [the students] are already doing and to encourage them to be good members of the community,” she said.

4th Graders’ Upcoming Music Program
Heritage fourth graders have been hard at work learning vocalization and instrumentation for their upcoming music program. Heritage music teachers Cinamon Short, Pat Nuyken, and Rick Loar are excited to present the program in the beautiful Northridge High School Auditorium. Performances will be held on Tuesday, November 19 at 6:15 (group A) and 7:30 (group B). Join us for a wonderful night of music!
The kids at Heritage Intermediate School raised over $850 to purchase a camel through Heifer International for a needy family in Kenya. Five teachers (including the principal) celebrated this achievement, along with the end of Spirit week, the kick-off to their No Bully Zone Program, by volunteering to kiss a camel. Shown here, 5th grade teacher Brook Friesener plants a kiss on a camel.
Red Ribbon Week
The month of October cannot go by without celebrating Red Ribbon Week! During this time, we remembered the reasons why it is important not to take drugs or to drink alcohol. Heritage staff encouraged students to take a stand against drugs and say “no” to harmful toxins. During Red Ribbon Week, Heritage students focused on keeping their bodies and minds healthy through anti-drug and anti-bullying education. They also worked to reach out to the community through their “Take a Stand, Bring a Can” campaign. The students collected canned goods to donate to the Middlebury Food Pantry. Students at Heritage have learned that they CAN make a difference in the lives of others and that they CAN have a positive impact on our community.

Middlebury Elementary School News from Mr. Miller, Principal V-Sit and Stretch Competition
As the students at Middlebury Elementary finished up their fitness testing, some of the teachers decided to try out one of the tests called the V-Sit. This fitness test measures your flexibility by having you stretch forward as far as you can in a sitting position. It has turned into a friendly competition between the whole staff to see who really is the most ‘flexible’. At the same time, it has been a wonderful opportunity to bond with one another, if just for a bit, and to have some fun!

Kindergarten Fall Field Trip
In September, Middlebury Elementary kindergarteners spent a perfect fall day at Kercher’s Sunrise Orchard and Tommy’s Kid’s Castle in Shanklin Park, Goshen. At the orchard, students complemented their classroom learning about the fall harvest and the growth of apple trees with the help and knowledge of Mrs. Kercher (AKA Mrs. Apple). They learned that Kercher’s grows twenty kinds of apples, though there are thousands of varieties. The children handpicked one Jonathan apple and two Cortland apples. They also chose a gourd from the
gourd patch, took a hayride, and navigated a corn maze. Students also ate a picnic lunch at Shanklin Park and played on the playground. It was a fun day making memories with kindergarten friends!
Have a Heart
“Have a Heart presented by the Elkhart General Hospital Foundation is a community art project fundraiser. All proceeds will benefit high-tech enhancements to what is already Indiana’s premier cardiac program. Let’s help invest in ourselves. Design a heart, so we can save a heart!” Jacob Beachey (2nd grader at Middlebury Elementary), along with his sister Nona (4th grader at Heritage Intermediate) and mother Carrie, submitted a heart design for this fundraiser that was accepted. The hearts will be on display at businesses throughout Elkhart. On Valentine’s Day, all of the hearts will be auctioned off at the Lerner Theatre. Jacob and Nona are a great representation of being involved in bettering our community. Way to go!

A Camping Trip with Our Grandparents
Following the sing-along, grandparents met the children in their classrooms for a quick tour. We all agree that grandparents are some of our best friends, and the day was one to remember.
Fall is upon us and it is the perfect time of year for a camping trip. Imagine sitting around a campfire, tents in the background, stars overhead. Now who would you rather have on that camping trip if you are a York student than your grandparents? On September 24, students invited their grandparents to their school for Grandparents’ Day and, since we couldn’t all fit in a tent, we at least decided to sing around a campfire. Hundreds of grandparents joined us for a sing-along and the theme was a camping trip. The afternoon started in the gym with a sing-along. Students learned a number of songs about the outdoors and then joined together as a whole student body to sing them. There were songs about beautiful days, rivers, stars and water. There was even a song about seeing a bear that the grandparents helped us with. Second grade students recited a poem called S’Mores by Gregory K.

Harvest for the Hungry Countywide Program has Middlebury Roots By Tammy Tilley Photos provided by Kris Mueller

Middlebury farmers, partnering with Burt Culver of Culver Duck, are harvesting what they’ve sown. Literally. As part of Elkhart’s Church Community Services “Seed to Feed” program, now in its second year, the idea behind this grassroots initiative is to plant, grow, harvest, and sell corn; then use the proceeds to stock food pantries with fresh foods as well as to replant the following year.
awhile, then we pick and harvest. The corn goes into Elkhart where it gets dried and sold. That money will be used to purchase more commodities for the needy,” he said.
Don Kauffman, owner of Spring Valley Farms in Middlebury, led the local initiative. “It started with the donation of 40 acres of land. Then came the donation of

Culver said it’s amazing to see how things come together. “I stand back almost in awe and watch,” Culver said. “One person says, ‘I’ll donate this,’ and then another person says, ‘I can donate this,’ and so on, until today when you stand in the middle
of a field and see something like this,” he said, pointing to the expansive rows of corn coming down under the John Deer combine. Hendricks, a farmer from Malawi in Africa, was visiting local farmer Ernie Miller and witnessed the harvest.

Booties help protect a dog’s paws from frostbite and ice-melting chemicals that could harm them.
Happiness is a
By Tammy Tilley
Warm Puppy Peanuts® Comic Strip founder Charles Schulz once wrote, “Happiness is a warm puppy.” This winter, to keep your favorite friend happy, you also want to keep him warm. Mary Kay Beer, owner of Healthy Pets Store, shares some ideas on how to keep your pet safe, warm, and happy when cold weather sets in, reminding us that, “if you are out with your pet and you begin to get cold, chances are your pet is ready to go inside, also.” 1. A visit to your vet will help ensure your pet is healthy enough to be outside during the winter. Be especially careful with elderly or arthritic pets, or if your pet recently had surgery or an injury. 2. Check your pet’s outdoor water bowl often, as freeze over can occur quickly. 3. Provide extra warmth in the doghouse with blankets, piles of straw, or perhaps a warm water bottle wrapped in a blanket. 4. When a pet is on sidewalks that have been treated with an ice-melting chemical, wash her paws to get rid of the chemicals and prevent chapping and rawness. Beer also recommends boots to protect the dog’s paw pads from the chemicals, as well as from frostbite. 5. Smaller dogs such as Chihuahuas, toy dogs, and other small breeds with short hair can benefit from weather-protecting coats or sweaters.
Finally, Beer says to watch pets for dry and itching skin. “As winter approaches, we keep our homes warmer and thus the air is drier. Use a moisturizing shampoo, and look into adding fatty acid supplements to their diet,” she explains. Both your dog and you will be happy when your furry friend is well cared for during the winter months. 28 InMiddlebury Magazine | NOVEMBER 2013
