Pastor eases grip on pulpit after 53 years Support for injured teen tops $40,000
By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
Ben Keckler Jr. can’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 he’s sure of what he wants people to remember when he’s no longer around to help his son in the pulpit. That time will come “sooner than we think,” says the 85-year-old father of three. And when it does, he hopes his congregation will continue to bond with the community. “Well I just trust that they can be filled with the spirit and give guidance to all people,” he said as the church opened its doors for a public dinner on a recent Wednesday evening. “This is the thing. When we separate ourselves we lose out on the fellowship, the church and the public as well,” he said. “There’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
Online auction to help Noah Barbnecht By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcnews.net
Since early January, copastor Jim Keckler has taken primary responsibility for the Sunday service. “The voice is weak,” the elder Keckler said. “I help as much as I can.” Jim Keckler said he has received good, hands-on advice from his pastor father. “I’ve had years of watching him in action,” he said. “There are things that I’d like to change, but there are also some things
Businesses have donated $40,000 in merchandise for a fundraiser for an injured Fort Wayne freshman. Ticket sales have closed, but bidders can access the online registry for a silent auction until the night of the Feb. 9 benefit. “You don’t have to be at Courtesy photo the benefit to help,” said Noah Barbnecht Stephanie McCullough, who spearheaded the benefit that brought the outpouring of support. She said businesses in many corners of Fort Wayne contributed. After 15-year-old Noah Barbnecht was injured in a Christmas Eve skiing accident, McCullough and the Northrop Bruin Backers stepped forward to help the football player and his family. Plans for the benefit continued as Noah’s family moved him to Shepherd Center, an Atlanta hospital that specializes in treatment of spinal cord injuries. Noah continued his treatment at that Georgia facility last week. Barbnecht was injured at Mount Snow, near West Dover, in southern Vermont. According to fundraiser organizers, he suffered a spinal injury that has left him paralyzed from the breastbone down. He also had a broken neck, broken ribs, facial fractures and other injuries. McCullough said boosters immediately recognized the need to support the family financially and to support Barbnecht’s spirits. “We’ve been scrambling like crazy since a couple days after Christmas,” said McCullough, who is the event chairperson. “I thought this family needs

The elder Keckler scaled back his time in the pulpit beginning in January. they minister to others.” Keckler took the Parkwood pulpit each Sunday for more than half a century. Sons Jim and Ben III sometimes took part. “He wasn’t always here,” Jim Keckler said. “But when he wasn’t here I would fill the pulpit or my brother would fill the pulpit.” Just once, 45-year member Butch Kinnison delivered the message. “I can only remember two times there wasn’t a Keckler in the pulpit
here,” Kinnison said. The elder pastor said Kinnison contributes weekly. “He does the call to worship and the opening prayer,” the pastor said. Many people share that ministry, said Kinnison. “I do it whenever I get volunteered,” he added. “I’ve never seen anything come out of that pulpit that was not biblical,” Kinnison said. “Never has that been used for advancing another agenda.”

Chris Murphy will direct a Concordia Lutheran High School cast of 60 in “Fiddler on the Roof.” The artistic director of drama at the Fort Wayne school said the theme of family is central to the play. “I love the show — I love the message and the family element. I love the ‘Traditions,’ ” Murphy wrote in an email. “This is the second time I have directed ‘Fiddler.’ The first time was 10 years ago,” Murphy wrote. “I first saw it as a child, but saw it again at Lincoln

Murphy teaches eighth grade at Emmanuel-St. Michael Lutheran School in Fort Wayne. Outside of school hours, he directs two or three shows at Concordia each school year. “I spend the better part of two months at the high school for each show I direct,” he wrote. Murphy is in his 28th year of teaching, his 12th year as director of drama at Concordia. He graduated from Concordia High School and earned his bachelor’s degree from Concordia College in River Forest, Ill. Murphy earned his master’s from Indiana University. In addition to being in plays in high school and college, he has appeared in productions at First Presbyterian Theater in Fort Wayne.

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

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 See CLOTHING, Page A4

Community band set to entertain Feb. 26 By Rod King Contributor
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,” Courtesy photo “Rough Riders March,” a compilaHumphries tion 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.

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 type 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.”

that I’d like to keep the same. It’s just a pleasure working with someone who’s so dedicated.” The elder pastor’s wife, Letha, died in 1996. Jim Keckler serves as co-pastor, operates a landscaping service and keeps a farm in eastern Allen County. Brother Ben III is director of pastoral care at Hendricks Regional Medical Center, in Danville, Ind. But on Wednesday nights, the congregation and the dinner guests from the community talk about the younger Kecklers’ sister, Cindy James. James coordinates the dinner that draws more visitors than church members. There is no charge, and no expectation that anyone will come for the 6 p.m. dinner and stay for the 7 p.m. Bible study. “I’ve come to help Cindy,” said Vera Wenger. “It’s just to give to the community around us that maybe they don’t have food. We have some come here that don’t have sufficient food, and sometimes you wonder if maybe that’s the only real meal that they have all week.” Wenger has watched the church since its earliest days. She now lives at Crooked Lake near Angola, but in 1959 she lived on one of the nearby streets that were just
more money than a bake sale can raise, and they need more support than that, so I started thinking of ways to make it bigger.” And bigger, it is. Businesses have donated catering, dinners, flight lessons and more to Bruin Benefit for Noah Barbnecht. “The Fort Wayne Komets are on board a hundred percent,” McCullough said. “They donated tickets and one of those really nice road jerseys.” Baltimore Ravens safety Bernard Pollard, a former South Side and Purdue standout, has donated an autographed football for the online auction. “It’s ranging from Jefferson Pointe all the way up to the north end,” she said of the business support. The offerings include getaways that include dinner for two, an overnight stay, and a bottle of wine, or DeBrand chocolates. “And these are going to be hot packages for Valentine’s Day,” she said, and those packages will be up for auction only from 7 to 9 p.m. the night of the event. Anyone who did not snag a ticket for the event at Ceruti’s Summit Park still can take part in the auction. “So you don’t have to be at the benefit to help,” McCullough said.
beginning to sprout homes. “Trier Road was a dirt road,” said Kinnison, who also has watched Parkwood since its early days. 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. “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 wasn’t interested. And they called me again, and I said I still wasn’t interested. And really, I don’t know how I got here. I kept saying no, but I’m still here.” Nevertheless, Keckler said he is glad he made the move and became part of “a wonderful bunch of people.” “We’re just one big family,” he said. Over the ensuing decades, he helped to raise a family. He drove the trailers for The Associated Churches food banks. He also served as Parkview Hospital chaplain for 23 years. “I married almost all the nurses,” he said. And so Keckler has no regrets about that decision to help turn the first shovel of dirt in an

Jim Keckler and Cindy James discuss the Wednesday night dinners that they support at Parkwood Church of God. Their father, Ben Keckler Jr., has been pastor of the Trier Road church since 1959.

“If you let the Holy Spirit guide and direct you, there’s always work for you to do,” Keckler said.

The support from the community and businesses has been way more than we expected.” McCullough said about eight volunteers from her group are involved in the planning. She said Noah’s father, Jason, and others from the Indiana Air National Guard 122nd Fighter Wing have helped to gather items for the auction. McCullough said Noah’s parents, Sandi and Jason, plan to attend the benefit. “Mom and Dad will both be there, because they want to see everybody and thank everybody,” she said. To provide emotional support for Noah, McCullough’s group reached out to Northrop football coach Tim Martone. “Noah wore No. 73 his freshman year,” McCullough said, “and generally when you pass freshman football into JV, the numbers roll over again. The coach called Noah’s dad and asked him what number Noah would have liked to have this year. So this year when they take the field, they’ll each be wearing No. 55 decals on their helmets on behalf of Noah.”
BAND from Page A3 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 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 is composed of primarily amateur musicians, some IPFW students and a few music teachers who gather Tuesday evenings at IPFW to rehearse. Auditions are not required and any musician who is out of high school is welcome. For information, contact personnel manager Susan Nash at 432-0698.

Kelty’s Kafé opens at Ivy Tech The Culinary program at Ivy Tech Community College–Northeast has opened its weekly, studentmanaged 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 ever-changing selection of student creations will be available. The menu for the first Wednesday, Feb. 6, 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.

A Fort Wayne man is leading the Mizpah Shrine through 2013. Michael Hardiek, 45, of Aboite Township, became the youngest potentate in the history of the local Shrine, founded in 1910, which serves 22 Indiana counties. Hardiek said his January 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. 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

Mike Hardiek kneels to take the oath as potentate of the Mizpah Shrine. The Jan. 4 installation is to be the last at the downtown headquarters of the Shrine, which is moving to a new Shrine Center near the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum. —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. Hardiek said Chapel was the last person whom he and his wife consulted before committing to the path toward potentate, four years ago. “He was the last phone call I made,” Hardiek said. “He could have talked me out of it.” Hardiek pledged to support the 2013 team, including the Divan, whose members form the line of succession to potentate. “Any barrier you need taken down, anything you need,” he promised. Besides Hardiek, the Divan comprises: Steven Cowan, chief rabban; Gary Soblotne, assistant
rabban; Jerry Freewalt, high priest and prophet, and; Hal Harting, oriental guide. 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. Chapel said the horse show is moving from the fall, to the summer. He said local Shriners are major supporters of a Lake Michigan salmon fishing derby sponsored by the Great Lakes Shrine Association, and that event also supports the hospitals. Finally, Chapel said, the local Shrine has added a sportsman’s raffle, beginning this fall.

Bus link between hospitals ends ‘awkward’ transfer at city limits By Garth Snow
“At the top of the hour it will be at Parkview Randallia, and then 25 after the hour at Parkview Regional Medical Center,” Clabaugh said. The route connects with Citilink Routes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 21. Service operates hourly, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. “We have been working closely with Citilink to explore ways to improve public transportation options,” Parkview’s Sue Ehinger said in a news release announcing the new service. Ehinger is president of Parkview Hospital and affiliates. Kachmar said readers can find more Citylink information at www.fwcitilink.com.
gsnow@kpcnews.net
Signs designating links to the new Medlink route between Parkview hospitals were placed along the route last week. Bruce Rasor and Greg Rhodes of the Fort Wayne city sign department installed the Medlink 15 marker at the south end of the route Wednesday. They sank a new post into the ground, closer to the main entrance to Parkview Hospital Randallia. Citilink spokeswoman Betsy Kachmar said many motorists won’t notice the signs, but those who depend on Citilink will understand the colorcoded Medlink 15 markers. The round markers are placed beneath the bus-shaped, rectangular signs at bus stops. Service between Parkview Randallia and Parkview Regional Medical Center began Jan. 7. Though there has not been time to measure the acceptance of that route, Kachmar said Jan. 18, “We’ve had a few people who have figured it out.” “We’ll have signage up, and that will help people connect,” said Kachmar, the assistant manager of Citilink/FWPTC. The route extends service to Parkview Regional Medical Center, which is just beyond city limits on the north side of Dupont Road. Parkview Health spokesman Eric Clabaugh reported favorable response to the new link. “From what we’re hearing, there was a lot of buzz and excitement

He said as he distributed fliers at PRMC, employees reported that patients had been asking questions about the service. “So it seems it’s been a pretty big hit,” he said. Parkview Health agreed to underwrite “the little extra leg of the trip” connecting public transit to the hospital. Before the agreement, Citilink’s Flexroute 21 took passengers to a stop at a restaurant on the south side of Dupont Road. The hospital provided a shuttle. Sometimes, security guards would provide a ride. Some passengers walked to the hospital. Now, Clabaugh said, the bus makes two stops on the PRMC campus. “So we’re trying to move people from that awkward connection to a more graceful one, and that will take some time,” Citilink’s Kachmar said. “As people are calling, we’re explaining that.” The Medlink fares are
consistent with Citilink’s rate structure. According to a news release, that fare is $1.25 a ride, with discounts available. Fort Wayne’s Only

Buster Keaton film kicks off Embassy series The Embassy Theatre offers an afternoon of silent film on Sunday, Feb. 10, beginning at 2 p.m. Silver screen entertainment includes Buster Keaton’s “The General� and silent film short, “Trip to the Moon,� both accompanied by Clark Wilson on the Grande Page Organ. A silent film Q&A session led by University of Saint Francis professor Jane Martin will follow the feature film. The Embassy Theatre opened during a
time of opulence and featured a Grande Page Theatre Pipe Organ built by the Page Organ Co. in Lima, Ohio. This event is the first of three in the Embassy’s new Black & White Series, created to honor the Page’s history and introduce new audiences to the silent film era. “The General,� the 1926 full-length feature starring legendary silent film actor Keaton, is regarded as a masterpiece of its era and widely known as one
of the greatest silent film comedies of all time. “Trip to the Moon� is a 1902 film based on Jules Verne’s “From the Earth to the Moon� and H.G. Wells’ “The First Men in the Moon.� Set in the Civil War era, the General refers to the prized locomotive of Johnny Gray, Keaton’s character. When the General is stolen by Union spies, Johnny sets out to rescue it, finding out in the process that his love, Annabelle Lee, played by Marion Mack, is also on board
as a Union prisoner. One great action sequence after another unfolds on the screen, with Keaton always in the middle of masterful silent comedy. Wilson, who will accompany the movies on the Grande Page organ, is considered one of the finest practitioners of the art of silent picture scoring. General admission tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students and are available at the Embassy box office, and through Ticketmaster.

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.
