Wild Edibles
Connecting to Nature Through
Paul Steury showing edible parts of cattails.
Sassafras leaves—note the often lobed leaves of different shapes on the same tree.
OUTDOOR LIVING In June, the Middlebury Community Public Library hosted a wild edible hike at Bonneyville Mill. Paul Steury, a local environmental educator, guided the hike. He is known as “the nibbler,” learning about wild edibles from his dad who fed him in nature on the Goshen College campus. He took this oath as a child, “I promise I will not eat nothing I don’t know.” As wild edible participants, we took the same oath, with the hope to learn more on our hike. Learn (and taste!) we did. After a short talk on a variety of books (many available at our local library), foraging basics, and safety cautions, we found our first edible—white clover. While foraging, be aware of what might be around the plant, like goose poop or other contaminants. We tasted the soft tendrils of wild grape. The leaves can be used as a wrap/green and the berries can be made into a jam. All parts of the cattail are edible, being prepared in different ways, from fresh eating to flours or cooked tubers.
Paul Steury demonstrates garlic mustard, a tasty invasive plant that is great for pesto sauce.
Other wild edibles to investigate include day lilies, stinging nettle, sassafras, spice bush, black raspberries, blackberries, wood sorrel, sweet cicely, garlic mustard, white oak acorns, hickory nuts, wild gooseberries, and autumn olive berries. He also makes maple syrup from the sap of sugar maple trees in late winter. We learned about a few plants that have healing powers, such as making a poultice out of a common backyard plantain plant. Jewelweed is a good for poison ivy or stinging nettle. The seeds taste like black walnut. With wild edibles, Steury suggested to be careful and ration what you eat. Some plants may have more nutrients than what our bodies may be used to. He said not to take chances with unknown plants as a small number can make you seriously sick. Ninety percent of plants are edible, though only 10 percent taste good. Only try something if you can identify it and know how and when to prepare it. He only recommends 3 easy to identify mushrooms as there are no mimics. Morels are often available in April. Puffballs are bright white and ready in August—you want it white all the way through and not brown. Chicken of the woods makes a bright orange floret. Sarah Rich, the adult services librarian, said they have been trying to do programs outside with COVID. She knew Steury’s hikes were successful and people would come. Additionally, she has personal interests in wild edibles as did many of us on the hike. What wild edible will you try next? Dr. Carla Gull blogs at www.insideoutsidemichiana. com and hosts the podcast Loose Parts Nature Play. She is often seen with four tag-along explorers in the greater Michiana area.

Perhaps you have some great ones to warm the belly in the fall? Send them to Delightfullyhere@gmail.com with InMiddlebury Recipe as the subject.
Chickpea Brownie Cookies These vegan gluten free cookies are to die for and the bonus is you can eat them (fairly) guilt free. Ingredients • 1 can chickpeas rinsed (be sure to use moist canned and not dry bagged ones) • 1/2 cup peanut butter • 1/3 cup maple syrup • 1/4 cup cocoa powder • 1 tsp vanilla • Chocolate chips to top Instructions 1. Rinse chickpeas 2. Add all ingredients except for
chocolate chips to food processor and mix until fully blended. (I like to grind the chickpeas first before adding the rest of the ingredients for a smoother texture) 3. Spoon 2 tbls and place two inches appart on cookie sheet 4. Sprinkle tops with chocolate chips 5. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes
Vegan Raspberry Bars Only 5 ingredients and made in 1 bowl, these Raspberry Bars are simple to make yet quite fancy and crowd pleasing! They have a coconut oil shortbread crust + topping, and are filled with raspberry preserves. • 2½ cups all purpose flour • 3/4 cup granulated sugar • 1/2 teaspoon salt • 1 cup coconut oil, softened (but not melted) • 13 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) raspberry preserves OPTIONAL GLAZE • 1/2 cup powdered sugar • 2 tablespoons almond milk Instructions Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line the bottom and sides of a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides for easy removal. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt. Now add the softened coconut oil, and stir until everything is well combined. The mixture should be rather crumbly. Use your hands if you need to. Set aside 1 cup of the shortbread dough, in a smaller bowl. This is your
crumble topping. Press the mixture evenly into the baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven up to 350 degrees F. Spread the raspberry preserves over the warm crust. Sprinkle on the topping. Place in the oven and bake for 40 minutes. The filling should be bubbling on the edges. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 20 minutes, and then move them to the refrigerator to cool for at least 2 hours. Lift the bars out using the parchment paper, cut into squares and drizzle with optional glaze. OPTIONAL GLAZE In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and almond milk until a glaze is formed.
Sicillian Lemon Pudding In these days of stifling heat, the SICILIAN LEMON FROST, a light and refreshing dessert made with water, lemon juice, sugar, and starch, to thicken, could not be missing from the kitchen.

pot, mixing it with the sifted starch. 3. Add the sugar to the mixture, place the pan on the stove over medium heat, and mix. 4. When the lemon frost reaches its boiling point and has a sticky consistency, remove it from the heat and let it cool in the molds. 5. Once it becomes lukewarm, transfer the lemon frost into the refrigerator for as long as it takes more or less the consistency of a pudding. 6. Serve cold 7. Top with fruit or mint as desired

40 YEARS of Riverbend Park and Trails by Elma Chapman
One of Middlebury’s venerable green spaces is celebrating 40 years of community service as a park this year. Beloved as the site of the annual Riverfest, home of Summer Fun, and location for many volleyball games, family picnics, and fishing expeditions, Riverbend started out in a very different line of service: it was the town dump! Here’s a brief look at its history. Dump Redemption: As was the case at the time throughout the country, many saw a wetland as “useless wasted space” instead of the ecological bonus area that it is, filtering rainwater run-off, preventing flooding, and providing habitat for flora and fauna. But in 1978 the eight-acre property on the east side of the Little Elkhart River, land that had been used as the town dump, came up for sale and was purchased by individuals with a different opinion of wetlands, who donated it to the town. In 1979 and 1980 clearing was begun to transition the old dump into a town park. In October of 1981 an essay contest was held through the elementary school to name the new park. Joey Eash’s essay was the winning entry: Riverbend Park. In November of that year the park was announced to the public, and in June the following year there was an official grand opening of the park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and memorial tree planting. Improvements: In 1990 basketball courts and electric lighting with outlets were added. Shortly after that in 1992 a sand volleyball court and horseshoe pits were added. 1998 saw the addition of playground equipment and in 2003 a fountain was added to the pond.
will be held on Saturday, August 28. (See page __ for the schedule.) Also that year a vegetative swale between the pond and river was created and with the continued popularity of volleyball, a second volleyball court was added. Constant Improvement: In the most recent decade, 2011-2020, improvements have come at a rapid pace. The concrete floor of the pavilion was replaced, a second bank stabilization project was completed, a new nature-themed playground replaced the older playground equipment, and a concrete patio and picnic tables adjacent to the playground were added. An Eagle Scout, Bryce Miller, working with Dana and Nelda Snyder, created the Learning Tree Exhibit, to replace the previous Learning Log that was swiftly returning to nature. A new eastern entrance to the park from the Villas of River Park featured a concrete stairway and bike ramp leading to a boardwalk to the river and connecting to the other trails in the park. Another Eagle Scout, Ryan Briskie, Riverbend Park – October 9, 1981 On October 7, we went down to the new park when we got back our teacher told us to name the new park so I suggested Riverbend Park because the river bends right by the park. When we were there I saw some ducks, in the pond that people skate in the winter. I saw some weeping willows, maple trees, and sycamore trees at the new park.
Growth: In 2003 Spring Valley Corporation donated 16.4 acres of land adjacent to the Villas of Riverbend and Riverbend Park to Middlebury Parks and Recreation. This enabled several more improvements: In 2005 the first riverbank stabilization project was begun, and in 2007 the Eagle Scouts helped to improve the trail system in the park. Summer Fun, which began downtown in the 1960s, moved to Riverbend in 2008. The Birth of Riverfest: 2010 saw the first Riverfest, “the celebration of fresh water in the Middlebury community.” Riverfest has become an annual event attracting visitors from the surrounding towns and beyond. This year’s Riverfest

built a bird blind/viewing area off the new boardwalk. Since 2015 the 8th graders from Heritage Middle School have done water quality testing annually at the river to learn about the creatures that live in the river and their tolerance of pollutants. The first graders from Middlebury Elementary do a “Sensory Hike” to learn about the changing seasons. The GaGa Ball pit built by Carter Gull was another Eagle Scout project. The students at York Elementary School donated a “Little Library” to Riverbend. Through a partnership between the Middlebury Community Public Library, Middlebury Parks and Recreation, and the Middlebury Then and Now, Trail Tales was dedicated in 2019. It is now possible to read a story, changed monthly, while walking the trails. And lastly, toward the end of the decade, the Boy Scouts built and continue to maintain a permanent scout camp near the river. What’s next for Riverbend? The park is now officially Riverbend Parks and Trails. As we celebrate its 40th anniversary at this year’s Riverfest, a memorial stone will be dedicated to K. Marion Miller and others who were instrumental in transforming the town dump into a town showcase. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered time at Riverbend Park through the years, from the 8th grade civics class to the Trail Stewards, to the local industries that sponsored workdays with their employees. As Margaret Mead stated: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Throughout its history, a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens has definitely changed Middlebury for the better!

NORTHRIDGE HIGH SCHOOL
SCHOLAR ATHLETE OF THE MONTH HARSH SINGH My name is Harsh Singh, son of Onkar Singh and Gurpaljit Kaur. I am a graduating senior here at Northridge. I participated in football for one year and threw in track and field for four years. I was also part of the Raider Freshman Mentors, where we helped incoming freshmen navigate around the school. I was also part of the Middlebury Youth Council. The one thing I enjoyed the most about being in sports is all the friends I made, and all of the great memories I made being in Track. I also think that by being part of Track for four years I was able to develop leadership skills. I often help out at the Sikh temple in Mishawaka every Sunday. I will be attending IUPUI and majoring in Finance, with a potential minor in Business Economics

2021 SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9 We are so excited to be able to host our freefamily events again this year! One of our favorite, unique, entertaining and much-anticipated events is the Middlebury Pumpkin Race which will be held on Saturday, October 9. We hope you'll consider being part of this community event by racing, volunteering, or sponsoring. Something new and exciting is that the 1st place race winner will be able to select the Elkhart County nonprofit organization (that serves families & children: from a list determined by the Community Foundation of Elkhart County) that will receive the donation of the race net proceeds. Obviously, the more sponsorships & donations we receive, the larger amount of a donation will be made to the selected organization! We are also continuing to grow our Corporate racing category. Elkhart Plastics has been the Corporate race winner the past 2 races and we are encouraging you to form a team to beat them this year! Of course we also have our Noncorporate category where individuals, families & friends can race for several prizes, including the coveted 1st place honor. Included is the sponsorship form and race rules. Checks can be mailed to Middlebury Then and Now, PO Box 207, Middlebury, IN 46540. We hope to be able to list you as a sponsor (if we've already received your sponsorship, THANK YOU!) and also see you on RACE DAY! Continue to follow us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/MiddleburyThenand16 inMiddlebury Magazine | AUGUST 2021
Now) and our website (middleburythenandnow.org) for updates. We are thankful for so many supporters of our family-friendly community events; we could not be successful at what we do without your support (financial & volunteer).
The Official Pumpkin Race Rules have been established to promote fair play and inspire good old-fashioned American ingenuity. Pumpkin Race Kits You can purchase the official Middlebury Pumpkin Race Kit for $25 (plus IN sales tax) from Varns & Hoover located at 101 S. Main St, Middlebury. A limited supply will be available beginning in September. General Rules and Regulations All participants must design and race their Pumpkin Racers according to these few important rules to ensure the event is fun and fair for everyone: 1. Craft your Pumpkin Racer using a single pumpkin (up to 15” wide). Have fun making your Pumpkin Racer; pick a theme and be creative by using paints, stickers, and other “decorations”. The crowd favorites will most likely be the fun and creative Pumpkin Racers. If you can’t win, then lose with style! 2. Pumpkin Racers must have two independent axles through the body of the pumpkin and all 4 wheels must be attached to the axles. 3. Only official Middlebury Pumpkin Race Kit equipment is allowed on Pumpkin Racers. 4. You may not attach your pumpkin onto a prefabricated chassis of any kind (skateboard, stroller, Tonka Truck, etc.). 5. No sharp objects, explosives, or pyrotechnics are allowed (not even for cheaters). This is due to everyone’s safety and event insurance coverage. 6. No cheating! Feel great about being honest and fair. Use the honor system and obey the spirit of the rules. Our Race Officials have a keen eye and have the Mallet-O-Justice ready to bring any Cheater Pumpkin down! If you want to make a Cheater Pumpkin on purpose because you want to see the Mallet-O-Justice come down on your creation, please see the section below for Cheater Pumpkins. 7. No pushing or “helping” your Pump-
kin Racer on the starting line. Set it up in a positon behind the starting line and then when the official gives the “go” signal…..hands up and off the Pumpkin Racer! 8. All races are single elimination. However, if your Pumpkin Racer has been eliminated and is still in racing condition, additional heats will be run (at an additional donation of $10 for each pumpkin racing) after the winners of the main race are determined. 9. Pumpkin Racer wins when their wheels cross the finish line. 10. The Referees’ decision is final. If there is any controversy, the head referee may have a race-off between the Pumpkin Racers in question or all racers in the round. Cheater Pumpkins Any pumpkin that is caught cheating on purpose (wink, wink….a watermelon or other squash/fruit painted to look like a pumpkin) will be smashed by the Mallet-O-Justice! However, before any cheater pumpkin is smashed, the head referee will check with mom/dad/head racer to make sure that pumpkin is okay to be smashed. We know how hard you worked on it. Or if you really want to race your cheater before it is smashed, we will have a special heat for the cheaters. Tips 1. A bigger or heavier Pumpkin Racer is not necessarily a faster Pumpkin Racer. 2. If you need help drilling holes in your pumpkin (for the axles), Pit Row will open at 1:00 on Race Day and will be equipped with a drill.
3. Make sure the axles are parallel so the Pumpkin Racer will roll straight down the track and not veer/crash into a side wall instead of crossing the finish line. 4. Make sure all of the wheels spin freely. 5. Make sure the Pumpkin Racer has enough ground clearance. The race takes place on a track with bumps; make sure your Pumpkin Racer is high enough to clear them. 6. If you are a winner of your heat/ round, pay attention for when you need to line up for your next race. 7. Have fun! How to Build a Pumpkin Racer 1. Insert axle directly into a cordless drill and drill each axle into the side of your pumpkin; for best performance, axles must be parallel to each other. 2. Twist two inner wing nuts onto the end of each axle (reverse position) at least 1.5 inches onto the axle. 3. Slide wheels onto the axles. 4. Twist an outer wing nut on to each axle, leaving a slight gap so wheel can spin. 5. Decorate your Pumpkin Racer. Test to see if it goes straight. If not, adjust axles & wheels as needed.

FROM THE FAMILY BOOKSHELF
End-of-Summer Reads
Maybe you’ve just turned in your reading logs at the library and need some new ideas, or you’re trying to escape into a book one last time before school starts. Maybe you’re planning a new read-aloud schedule for the fall with your kids, or you need a few good books to wile away the end of summer. These are a few of our family’s favorite summer reads (with kid’s ages as a guide), and most of them are available through the Middlebury Public Library. Digory (1) is obsessed with Eric Carle books right now (such as Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? or the interactive From Head to Toe). You probably don’t need convincing that these books are classics, what with their gentle, vibrant illustrations and rhythmic repetition. Digory has ruined at least three of these books and gotten his fingers stuck in the holes of The Very Hungry Caterpillar multiple times by now, so there must be something worth sharing here. Eric Carle is a legend, and revisiting a few of these books in his memory has reminded us of why. Digory also recommends Little Blue Truck (Schertle/McElmurry) for its animal and truck noises, and the emotions primer Emma from the Babylit Series. Louisa’s (3) favorite read recently has been the book Red Sings from Treetops: A Year in Colors. This Caldecott Honor book pairs Joyce Sidman’s beautiful poetry with Pamela Zagarenski’s eclectic collage-style illustration in a delightful walk through all four seasons. Louisa has recently discovered the delights of corn on the cob, so this line is very exciting for her: “In Summer, White clinks in drinks. / Yellow melts everything it touches… smells like butter, tastes like salt.” Every page is a feast from start to finish. Louisa also recommends Bruno Munari’s Zoo for its cool animals and the two little butterflies you can find on every page. Percy (5) received a treasury of Arnold Lobel’s Frog and Toad stories for his birthday last year, and he’s never looked back. Most of you know these stories, I’m sure. But repeated reading (like, every night) reveals more to these hilarious and endearing characters than meets the eye. Frog and Toad stories aren’t just great entertainment, they’re examples of good friendship - the sort that accepts the other as they are, with grace and a servant’s heart, and still encourages them to grow. Well worth an August re-read, and the audiobooks read by the author are a delight.

Kai (6) just started taking off with reading on his own this summer, and the Boxcar Children series (Warner) is right up his alley. The first entry-level book is full of exploration and ingenuity (two things that fuel his little-boy heart these days) as the kids make their very own home in an abandoned boxcar, and the next few add exciting mysteries and appropriately thrilling danger to the mix. These books have been one of the few things that will hold his attention for up to an hour, so we highly recommend them regardless of how many building materials we find strewn across the lawn. Nadia’s (8) favorite read this summer has been the one she and Mommy are reading together: Anne of Green Gables (Montgomery). Nadia and Linnea are both romantics, and Anne is the perfect kindred spirit whose heart shines through her hijinks. Reading it together has been sweet for them. Nadia also recommends The Little White Horse, by Elizabeth Goudge (one of J. K. Rowling’s favorites) and Nancy Drew mysteries. We love fantasy, and this summer we’ve been reading the entire Chronicles of Prydain series by Lloyd Alexander aloud with our two eldest. This five-book award-winning series populates Welsh legend with fun characters (the earnest Taran, the fiery Princess Eilonwy, the gregarious bard Flewddur Flam, etc.), and is full of heroism and high adventure. The storylines are lean and well-paced, and every chapter ends on a cliffhanger. The villains are menacing and the heroes and heroines sacrifice everything for the people they love. The kids beg to read the next chapter every night. We also recommend the beach cottage nostalgia of The Little Blue Cottage (Jordan/Tickle), the flower-scattering beauty of Miss Rumphius (Barbara Cooney), and the grace-filled epic doodling of The Book of Mistakes (Corinna Luyken). As for some light adult reads, Linnea has been loving All Creatures Great and Small (Herriot) just as much as we enjoyed the new Amazon reboot of the classic. The country veterinarian’s tales are warm, hilarious, and life-affirming - just the antidote to 2020 we all need. If you like Humans of New York, you’ll love this 1950s version. And Chris has been laughing out loud over P. G. Wodehouse’s Jeeves and Wooster stories and relishing Mary Oliver’s deceptively profound poetry collection Devotions.
