Bethel UMC helps church hit by fire

The menu was pancakes, and the agenda was fellowship.

Bethel United Methodist Church served a breakfast fundraiser to benefit Taylor Chapel United Methodist Church, which is recovering from a December fire. Visitors from each church shared their associations with the other.

Bethel Pastor the Rev. Brian Campbell was greeting visitors when Taylor Associate Pastor the Rev. Keith Shreffler stopped by. “Thank you for putting this on for us,” Shreffler said.

“My dad’s picture is down there on the wall,” Shreffler said. “He was one of the previous pastors here.”

Campbell replied that the discussion of the Taylor Chapel fire quickly led to the decision to sponsor the fundraiser.

“My wife and I were at a district United Methodist Churches Christmas party, and we just happened to have it at Taylor Chapel this year,” Campbell said, “and it was just a week or so later when the fire happened.”

“As the associate pastor of Taylor Chapel, I just thought I should be here today,” Shreffler said.

He said the church will rebuild the sanctuary, but is weighing its options carefully. “We’re just waiting to see

how God leads us in that,” Shreffler said. “We want to make sure that we are obedient to him and move in the direction that is best for the church.”

Taylor Chapel has a long history in the community, he said. “Years ago we were on the opposite side of Stellhorn Road in an old wooden structure. So we’ve got a lot of See BETHEL, Page A16

Carroll High School science teacher Andy Deatrick has been named the Northwest Allen County Schools Corporation’s 2012 Teacher of the Year. Superintendent Chris Himsel announced the award at a School Board meeting.

Deatrick accepted the honor by saying, “I sincerely want to thank my administrators, and Superintendent Chris Himsel, for allowing me to be creative in the classroom, and for not being afraid to let me experiment and learn along the way.”

Deatrick has been with NACS since 2008 and teaches Biology I Honors, and Project Lead The Way: Medical Interventions. He employs an instructional technique called “Flipped Classroom.”

This strategy flips how traditional classrooms operate by allowing students to learn via videos and technology outside of the classroom, and then get teacher assistance with their coursework within the structured school day.

Deatrick assesses student learning by offering various projects for students to choose from in order for them to demonstrate their understanding. “I don’t spend

William Mallers presented a 10-page budget analysis to the Northwest Allen County School Board, then outlined the story behind the numbers.

Mallers, the school district’s business manager, listed total spending in all categories for 2010 through 2012. He also listed his concerns about future spending.

Overall, according to Mallers’ breakdown, spending from the 2012 general fund remained below the 2010 level.

SHOW from Page A2 mixed show choir, Minstrel Magic, has developed a competition performance that is similar in style to “Les Miserables.” Set in the time period of 1929 and into the 1940s, the show starts with the announcement of the crash of the stock market followed by the 1932 presidential election between Hoover and Roosevelt, then the declaration of the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Songs and dance sequences set the mood, and the performance takes the audience on a journey of emotions.

Set to music that is consistent with the concept, and choreography that honors the lives of the “Greatest Generation” in an artful and theatrical way, the Minstrel Magic performers each play an individual character, from mechanics to steelworkers to homemakers to policemen. As the show was being developed, the underlying theme for Jill Jeran, Carroll’s choral director, was that each student should have a specific identity from that time in history.

“We’re telling a story and making each one of the people who lived through that era become a part of that story,” Jeran said. “We want our performers to take ownership of their character and be able to bring those characters’ emotions to the stage.”

Minstrel Magic won grand champion at Northrop High School’s Invitational on Feb. 2 and Northridge High School’s Invitational on Feb. 9.

School clothing bank now in central location

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net

Athletes from two high schools turned out to help move the Fort Wayne Community Schools Clothing Bank to its new home.

Clothing bank manager Nikki Burns said the bank witnessed a dramatic increase in service during the first few months of the school year. According to a news release, the clothing bank served more than 800 students through mid-January.

“We’re just kind of bustin’ at the seams here,” Burns said as she packed up boxes at Memorial Baptist Church, 2900 N. Anthony Blvd. “They’ve been good to us,” Burns said of the church. “We’re thankful. They’ve housed us for 15 years now.”

By day’s end, two box trucks delivered the remaining inventory to the school complex on Catalpa Street, just south of Jefferson Boulevard.

“We’re here on behalf of North Side High School, just contributing where we can, moving the boxes,” said basketball coach Shabaz Khaliz. “We saw an opportunity to help out, so we’re here.” Assistant coach Greg Raher and 18 players helped to load and unload the cargo.

Snider head football coach Kurt Tippman found volunteers during the off-season. “Some personnel from downtown said they needed help just loading boxes from one place and unloading them at another,” Tippman said.

“We always look for community service opportunities and we just asked who wants to go and 15 of them volunteered and here we are.”

Burns said her branch of Student Services was relocated to be more centrally located.

“We have passed what we did last year,” Burns said.

“Just so far this first few months of school, I’ve given out just at the clothing bank about 450 pairs of shoes and 300 coats. And that’s along with other programs in the community that give out shoes and coats.”

Although clothing will be distributed from the Catalpa Street location, contributors are asked to deliver their donations to the Grile Administrative Center, 1200 S. Clinton St., from 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. weekdays.

Despite the seasonal need for coats, Burns said the clothing bank accepts all types of clothing. “Head to toe we dress the kids,” Burns said. “Coats, hats, gloves, shoes.”

“Underwear and socks are a big one, because those have to be brand new,” she said. “Pants for elementary school kids are especially needed just because they wear out knees and don’t really wear them out. So that’s one of the things that we’re low on.”

The clothing bank serves preschool age to size 4X. “So I take any sizes,” Burns said. “So long as you would put it on a child of yours, I’ll take it.”

The clothing bank also accepts shampoo, hair conditioner, soap, deodorant, toothpaste and all personal hygiene items.

“It’s hard for a kid to sit through a class taking a test and they haven’t used deodorant for a week and they’re very self-conscious, or to have cold feet because they just walked to school in the snow and their shoes have holes in them,” Burns said. “It’s hard to learn when you’re focused on something that’s not school-involved, so we try to take that barrier away. It’s one of the little things we can do is take that barrier away so they can focus on school.”

If the clothing bank cannot use the donated items, Burns will get them to someone who needs them. “Soup kitchen, homeless shelters, Baby’s Closet, something like that,” she said. “Somewhere someone can get it for free.”

The Culinary program at Ivy Tech Community College–Northeast has opened its weekly, student-managed deli for the spring. Once again, the name of the deli is Kelty’s Kafé in memory of Chef Bob Kelty, who died in 2011.

The Bakery Merchandising course creates and manages a deli each semester on the Coliseum Campus, 3800 N. Anthony Blvd., in the Anthony Commons.

Each student is assigned a week as head chef, and will create a themed menu. The students also plan the production schedule, prepare requisitions for purchases, and calculate costs.

“Kelty’s Kafé” is open every Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. through April. Depending on availability, the weekly menu will be posted on the Ivy Tech Northeast calendar the Friday prior to deli offerings. Prices are described as reasonable, and an everchanging selection of student creations will be available.

The menu for the first Wednesday featured a grilled ham and cheese panini with the choice of soup or salad. The assorted bakery and pastry items included a signature cookie to celebrate Ivy Tech’s 50th Anniversary.

The 70-member Fort Wayne Area Community Band will perform at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 26 at the Rhinehart Music Center at IPFW campus. and has taken its brand of concert music to surrounding communities, too. It performs twice during Three Rivers Festival, three times at Foellinger Theater each

summer and four concerts at the IPFW Music Center.

The group also provides music for graduation ceremonies of Ivy Tech State College and University of St. Francis.

Fort Wayne Area Community Band will present a concert at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 26, in the John & Ruth Rhinehart Music Center on the IPFW Campus.

Conductor Scott Humphries and Assistant Conductor Susan Jehl have chosen a variety of music that includes “Suite for Tuba, “Four Scottish Dances,” “The Hounds of Spring,” “An American Hymn,” “Rough Riders March,” a compilation of music from the Broadway play “Les Miserables,” and more.

Thirty-three years ago a teaser article in a local paper announced formation of a community band and invited interested parties to dig out their horns and bring them to Neff Hall auditorium at IPFW. Thirty-five musicians, many who had not touched their instruments since high school or college, showed up at the first rehearsal in midNovember 1979. That was the nucleus of what is now the 70-member Fort Wayne Area Community Band. Nine of those who answered the invitation are still members.

Just eight conductors have led the group during the past 33 years.

Humphries is assistant professor and director of instrumental studies and music education at Manchester University in North Manchester. Of the ensemble, he says “they enjoy playing their instruments, work hard in rehearsals, like putting on the best possible performances and have a determination and drive to grow and improve. My two years with the band have been incredible. We presented a number of really professional concerts and I’m confident that people who attend the February performance will find it has something for everyone.”

The band presents about a dozen concerts a year

‘Fiddler on the Roof’ at Concordia teams veteran director with cast of 60

We definitely had the right students available to do this show, which is a large reason why I picked

it to do again this year.� “We have a cast of 60, including adults and grade school children. We also have a live orchestra and a crew of about 10 students,� Murphy wrote. “I absolutely love working with all the people involved in this show!�

In a news release, Concordia described the play as rich in historical and ethnic detail. The release said the play has

touched audiences worldwide with its humor, warmth and honesty. “The universal theme of tradition cuts across barriers of race, class, nationality and religion, leaving audiences crying tears of laughter, joy and sadness,� the school’s news release said.

FamilyWize pact creates health-care savings Every dollar patients spend on prescription drugs to treat heart disease and diabetes saves them $3 to $10 on other medical services, according to an Allen County partnership.

The findings are based on a 2011 Health Affairs study cited by FamilyWize, the Allen County Board of Commissioners and United Way of Allen County.

As of Dec. 31, 2012, the Allen County FamilyWize partnership with local pharmacies has saved people living or working in this area more than $1,043,769 on everyday prescription costs for conditions such as asthma, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and many others, plus an additional $2,887,284 savings on other medical services specifically related to diabetes and heart disease such as doctor’s office visits, hospitalizations and surgeries.

“Lowering the cost of prescription drugs allows more people to get the medicine they need when they need it,” said Todd Stephenson of United Way of Allen County. “The amounts patients save on the cost of complications, disease progression and additional health related expenses are far greater than just the savings on

the medicine.”

“This program impacts health and also financial stability, two building blocks of advancing the common good,” said Commissioner Therese Brown. “That’s why we’ve partnered with United Way and FamilyWize to distribute free prescription discount cards to everyone in our

area. It’s wonderful that almost every local pharmacy participates in this program that helps our community so much.”

The cards can be used by everyone in the community, not just by people without insurance.

The cards can be used by people who have insurance but who have high deductibles, or who take

medicine that is not covered by their plan, or by people who have Medicaid or Medicare when a specific prescription is not covered.

“The FamilyWize card provides immediate savings on prescription medicines and can make a difference in staying healthy,” said FamilyWize Community Outreach Vice

President Ellen Imber.

People can contact United Way of Allen County or the Board of Commissioners office to get a card; text “family” to 700700 for a text version of the card. Or, people can visit www.FamilyWize.org to print a card and compare discounted drug prices at the different participating pharmacies.

His selection by the Fort Wayne church followed a nationwide search conducted through the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America.

Erdos was born and raised in Butler, Pa. At his previous parish in Yorktown, Va., Erdos led the church council through a 36-week reflection process to discern “where they believe God is calling them to journey.” Three

years ago, he organized and led 15 teenagers to walk 75 miles over five days along the ancient pilgrimage road to Santiago, Spain. His ministry has been featured in Diana Butler Bass’s book, “Christianity for the Rest of Us,” and in USA Today.

Deatrick explained his flipped classroom by saying; “In traditional classrooms, the teacher is usually the star who is in charge of giving information to the students. In a flipped classroom, the students are the stars. They are in charge of discovering the information, and I am there as their guide.”

Deatrick’s YouTube videos have caught the attention of Cornell University

Professor George Hudler, who has been asking Deatrick for advice on how he could implement a flipped classroom strategy at Cornell. Deatrick has also shared his experiences with other educators at Carroll High School and will present at the University of St. Francis on Feb. 23 at their Best Practices Showcase.

Fort Wayne man becomes potentate of Mizpah Shrine

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net

An Aboite Township resident recently assumed leadership of Mizpah Shrine. Michael Hardiek, 45, became the youngest potentate in the history of the local Shrine, founded in 1910, which serves 22 Indiana counties.

Hardiek said his installation would be the last at

the Shrine’s longtime home at 407 W. Berry St. in downtown Fort Wayne.

He pledged that by year’s end the Shrine will complete its move to the new Shrine Center, at 1015 Memorial Way. After thanking Shrine nobles for their help and example in the past, Hardiek shifted the focus to the future.

“My grandfather walked

the halls of this building,” he said. “This building doesn’t fit us anymore.”

He said the success of the new Shrine Center will confirm a greater success.

“If we leave this building as a legacy to our children, then that means our hospitals survive,” he said.

That focus on the many children’s hospitals — which Hardiek referred to as “temples of mercy” —

was central to remarks by Hardiek and others.

Hardiek’s wife, Shannon Hardiek, said the women’s project for 2013 will be a bracelet, with seven hope beads available for several projects, and all proceeds going to Shrine hospitals.

Freeman Jewelers designed the bracelet. “In 2011, over 121,000 children were treated at a Shriners’ hospital and

were given the hope of living a more normal life,” she said.

A senior member of the Shrine, 2008 potentate Larry Chapel of near Knox, said Michael Hardiek brings more than youth to the office.

“Mike brings an energy to the position that we need at times,” he said, “but still is very thoughtful, caring.”

Chapel said Hardiek has volunteered to drive the Shrine van carrying children to hospitals in Chicago and elsewhere the past couple years. “I think that has helped him to understand what it’s all about,” Chapel said.

“That’s such an important part of what we do.”

Chapel said the Shrine was founded as a social connection, and adopted the hospitals program in 1922. That mission soon became the primary mission of the Shrine, Chapel said. “Mike understands that part of our programs, that part of our being,” he said.

Hardiek pledged to support the 2013 team, including the Divan, whose members form the line of succession to potentate. Besides Hardiek, the Divan comprises: Steven Cowan, chief rabban; Gary Soblotne, assistant rabban; Jerry Freewalt, high priest

Owen Wade will serve as treasurer, and Ron Harruff as recorder.

Chapel said the Shrine Circus is a major fundraiser for the Shrine general fund. Other fundraisers include: the onion sale each spring, with profits going to the hospitals transportation fund; the horse show at the Shrine’s Columbia City horse arena, with proceeds going to the hospitals; and the fly-in breakfast each fall, with profits going to the hospitals system. He said local Shriners support a Lake Michigan salmon fishing derby sponsored by the Great Lakes Shrine Association, and that event also supports the hospitals. The Shrine has added a raffle, beginning this fall.

USF lecture examines interprofessional health-care teams The University of Saint Francis will continue its free “Future of” lecture series with “The Future of Healthcare: Interprofessional Teams” from 2-4:30 p.m. March 5, in the USF Performing Arts Center, 431 W. Berry St. The event will examine the roles interprofessional health-care teams will play in the future of health-care delivery, as reported by a recent Institute of Medicine study, “Future of Nursing,” on the challenges and benefits coming in nursing and other health-care professions. The event will expand upon the question-and-answer session included in the April 2012 event. In a news release, the university said the event will be of interest to a wide range of health-care professionals. See the Institute of Medicine study at sf.edu/sf/nursing/future-of-nursing.

An overview of interprofessional teams will be followed by panels from education and practice perspectives, as they address “Implications for Education and Practice.” Panels will consist of diverse health-care educators and professionals discussing interprofessional teams and the ethics demanded by this concept.

Serving on the education panel will be Dr. Robert Fallon, Indiana University Medical School; Dr. Rebecca Coleman, chair of the USF Department of Social Work; Dr. Mindy Yoder, DNP, FNP-BC, USF graduate nursing program director; Dr. Dawn LaBarbera, Department of Physician Assistant Studies chair; Dr. Tracy Brooks, assistant chair for the Pharmacy Practice Department in the Manchester University College of Pharmacy; and Dr.

Pastor eases grip on pulpit after half-century

By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net

Ben Keckler Jr. canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be certain about how many couples he has married during his 53 years as pastor at Parkwood Church of God. Keckler still says he never agreed to move from Pennsylvania to build a church in a Trier Road corn field.

But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sure of what he wants people to remember when heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no longer around to help his son in the pulpit.

That time will come â&#x20AC;&#x153;sooner than we think,â&#x20AC;? says the 85-year-old father of three. And when it does, he hopes his congregation will continue to bond with the community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well I just trust that they can be filled with the spirit and give guidance to all people,â&#x20AC;? he said as the church opened its doors for a public dinner on a recent Wednesday evening. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the thing.

When we separate ourselves we lose out on the fellowship, the church and the public as well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just oodles of people that will be in church on Sunday. We have 85, 90.

I feel that our job is to minister to them, and then they minister to others.â&#x20AC;?

Keckler took the Parkwood pulpit each Sunday for more than half a century. Sons Jim and Ben III sometimes took part. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always here,â&#x20AC;? Jim Keckler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t here I would fill the pulpit or my brother would fill the pulpit.â&#x20AC;?

Just once, 45-year member Butch Kinnison delivered the message. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can only remember two times there wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a Keckler in the pulpit here,â&#x20AC;? Kinnison said.

Since early January, co-pastor Jim Keckler has taken primary responsibility for the Sunday service. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The voice is weak,â&#x20AC;? the elder Keckler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I help as much as I can.â&#x20AC;?

On Wednesday nights, the congregation turns out to serve a dinner to the community, and then stays for Bible study.

Vera Wenger usually is among that group.

Wenger has watched the church since its earliest days. In 1959 she lived on one of the nearby streets that were just beginning to sprout homes.

That was about the time that a young pastor in Enola, near Harrisburg, Pa., was called to follow in the footsteps of his father, Ben Keckler Sr.

The church conference bought the ground for a church and a parsonage, the elder Keckler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I lived in Pennsylvania at the time. And they called me and asked if I would come out and start this church. And I said I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested.

And they called me again, and I said I still wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested. And really, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how I got here. I kept saying no, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still here.â&#x20AC;?

Nevertheless, Keckler

t

said he is glad he made the move and became part of â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wonderful bunch of people.â&#x20AC;?

And so Keckler has no regrets about that decision to help turn the first shovel of dirt in an Indiana corn field in October 1959. He has no question about who was responsible for his vocation, or his destination. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you let the Holy Spirit guide and direct you, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s always work for you to do,â&#x20AC;? Keckler said.

Jim Keckler, left, and Ben Keckler Jr. are now copastors of Parkwood Church of God. The elder Keckler has scaled back his time in the pulpit.

salaries and benefits, or 91.36 percent of the total budget.

In 2011, the district paid $31,818,108 for those categories, or 91.37 percent of the overall budget.

“Then the other thing that certainly needs to be on probably everybody’s radar throughout the country is the health insurance line,” Mallers said. The district’s 2012 total of $3,810,770 was 11.03 percent of the total budget, up from 10.55 percent in 2011. “It’s going to be even a bigger factor as we head toward the health care reform.

And we are an employer who is going to have to make that available to more and more employees,” Mallers said.

Utilities costs dropped to $801,344, or 2.32 percent of the total budget. The 2011 figures were $839,643, or 2.41 percent of the budget.

“That’s just a dollar amount,” Mallers said. “There are a lot of factors that go into utilities.” Those variables include weather, utility rates, total square footage, and other factors. “The big thing is we’re continuing with our energy management program,” he said.

The business manager said he will provide a buildingby-building report on utilities cost at a future meeting.

In other discussion, school board member Kent Somers asked whether the administration has any concerns about enrollment approaching school capacity.

Superintendent Chris Himsel said the alignment of attendance areas is producing an acceptable balance in enrollments. Maple Creek Middle School has 714 students in grades 6 through 8, while Carroll Middle School has 881 students in that age bracket. Based on the seven elementary schools enrollment flowing into the middle schools, Himsel said, the enrollment gap between middle schools will narrow in the years ahead. “But that is definitely one thing that we are keeping an eye on,” Himsel said.

“We do have room for some additional growth,” Himsel said. He described the difficulty of keeping a balance in teacher-to-student ratios in every school. It’s a question of balancing efficiency, he said, to maximize effectiveness. “If I had my magic wand, I’d put 15 (students) in every class. But we can’t afford that.”

Mallers said the district needs to monitor population growth and building capacity. “We really had two years prior to the last two years where we had no growth, and now the last two years it’s returned,” he said.

According to the business manager’s report, current enrollments are: Arcola Elementary, 171; Cedar Canyon Elementary, 444; Eel River Elementary, 505; Hickory Center Elementary, 427; Huntertown Elementary, 561;

The Fort Wayne HOME & GARDEN SHOW February 28 - March 3, 2013 Presented by

Chef Jyll Everman

Horticulturist and author Erica Glasener

A finalist in Food Network's Next Food Network Star in New York last summer, Everman also has been a guest on the Rachel Ray Morning Show and several national radio stations. She was a private chef for six years before opening Jyllicious Bites, a catering company devoted to gourmet finger foods. She is a parttime culinary specialist at Williams-Sonoma.

Erica hosted "A Gardener's Diary" on Home and Garden Television (HGTV) for fourteen years. In her role as host, she interviewed gardeners from all walks of life across the United States. Her curiosity about the impulse that drives people to garden, as well as her enthusiasm about plants, makes her a natural at facilitating the stories gardeners want to share.
