Taylor Chapel looks to the future By Garth Snow gsnow@kpcmedia.com
Amid a sea of symbols, one symbol brought applause. As the wrecking ball waited near the fire-torn sanctuary of Taylor Chapel United Methodist Church, blackened hymnals rested behind scored pews. A dozen church members waited beside the brick foundation, peering through the openings that once were guarded by doors and windows. And then the applause. The cross that had held the most prominent place in the building was released intact from the wall. Volunteers carried the wooden emblem through a window opening and loaded it onto a pickup. The cross will have a new location when the congregation has a new building. Fire hit the church in the early hours of Dec. 31, 2012. After months of evaluation and planning, the church board directed demolition to begin on Oct. 2. Leaders hope to break ground in the spring, on approximately the 50th anniversary of groundbreaking on the north side of Maysville Road. As the cross was loosened from the wall, Trustees Chairwoman Nancy Harsch and church member Margaret Prichard reacted from outside that same window. “The last service we had was just so beautiful and it was

hard to believe that just a few days after that it was all burnt up,” Prichard said. Church administrative assistant Susie Powley said she joined the applause. “Absolutely,” she said. Powley said she wasn’t sure when the cross had been set in place to witness weddings and baptisms. It has been an important part of the church for a long time, she said, adding that its service has only been interrupted, not ended. “We have some really neat plans for it,” she said, declining to elaborate. “That is the symbol of why we’re here.” Church members toting cameras outnumbered the demolition workers
and media. The crowd grew as workers lifted tires and wooden pallets into place to protect the hallways separating the fragile sanctuary from the family life center, which has housed services since the first Sunday in January. Inside the darkened hulk, senior pastor the Rev. Steven Conner took a last look at the cross. A few objects might be salvaged and reconditioned, he said. The organ and piano could not be saved. The pews might have been saved and refinished if they had been built from solid wood instead of covered in veneer, he said.

animals. That’s not the case at all. We’re actually getting some traditional clubs around Fort Wayne, and we’re very excited about that. If someone likes to take pictures, we have a photography project. We have health See 4-H, Page A5

Allen County 4-H is adding clubs in neighborhoods inside the city, and is looking for more adult volunteers. The annual 4-H information night for youths and adults will be held from 7-8:30 p.m. Monday, Oct. 21, at the Allen County Extension Office, 4001 Crescent Ave., Fort Wayne. The program serves about 1,000 youths in 25 traditional clubs and afterschool programs. About 350 adult volunteers lead clubs or serve on committees or in other ways. “4-H offers about 60 projects, ranging from aerospace and rocketry to woodworking, with lots in between,” said Samm Johnson, of the Allen County extension staff. Johnson and Barb Thouma serve as extension educators. Jean Kendall
Georgetown expects about 1,800 children for treats and prizes
See TAYLOR, Page A6
Georgetown Square is bracing for about 1,800 children to tour the plaza for Trick-or-Treat at Georgetown, from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 31. Adults who accompany the children also will receive coupons and treats. There is no charge to participate in the Halloween celebration at 6400 E. State Blvd. A costume contest for ages infant through adult will be held throughout the evening, with prizes awarded near the Georgetown Branch Library at 7 p.m. The New Haven Alumni Band will perform from 5:45-6:45 p.m. in front of Jeff’s Coney and Ziffle’s Rib Bar. Children’s games also will be available. Plaza coordinator Maureen Partee said her
father, the late Tom Jehl, started the tradition four decades ago. “This has been going on since 1972,” Partee said, “and so the neighborhoods are used to it. Many of the children have never trick-or-treated anywhere else.” It has become a neighborhood tradition, said Partee, who recalled participating in 1975. The event is open to everyone, regardless of residence. Jehl launched the event as a safe trick-or-treat alternative, Partee said. The lighted parking lot still serves that most important concern, she said. Partee said Georgetown’s is the longest-running of any shopping center trick-ortreat. Last year, Georgetown merchants handed out candy to 1,800 children. “That’s a lot of candy. See TREATS, Page A2

TREATS from Page A1 It really is,� Partee said. Like last year, she expects some merchants to run to the Georgetown Kroger for more candy at mid-evening. The New Haven Alumni Band has been playing at Georgetown for years, Partee said. “They’re awesome,� she said. “A lot of them dress in costumes.� Carol Whitner, who said she is often referred to as “the band mother,� said the band has been playing at the Georgetown Halloween since 1992. The band is very active in that community, she said, including a performance each December at nearby Georgetown Place, an independent living and assisted living facility at 1717 Maplecrest Road. The band plays about two dozen concerts each year, Whitner said. Despite its name,

the band is no longer composed exclusively of New Haven High School alumni. “It started out that way,â€? she said. “When we ďŹ rst got together we were playing for a nostalgia basketball game, and we liked it so much we decided to stay together.â€? That was 22 years ago. “At ďŹ rst it was just alumni,â€? she said. But then band members’ spouses wanted to share in the music, as did other
community members. Now, the band is open to anyone. Anyone who would like to participate, or who wants to book a concert, may call Whitner at (260) 749-1550. Jack Schmidt, a New Haven alumnus, directs the band. Bob Bruce, also a New Haven graduate, assists, and directs some of the shows. Whitner said she got the “band mother� nickname because of the way she tends to the band.
“I’m the last one out, to make sure they didn’t leave anything,â€? she said. “I’ll make sure everybody’s got their music.â€? She said the band owes a thank you to New Haven Middle School band director Mark Best, who served as director when the alumni band was founded. “We use his band room to practice in, and we consider him a member,â€? she said. The band practices from 7 to 8:30 p.m. every Monday night. “It’s a big commitment,â€? Whitner said. The band’s approximately 30 members represent a variety of ages. Whitner, of the Class of 1956, said she was still working when the band began. The oldest band member is 79. Whitner said she is one of seven original members. Other members still on board from that ďŹ rst year are Bruce Bone, Bob Bruce, Dorothy Bruick, Martha Hoeppner,

that tragedy. “But I do think that I’m here for a reason,” he said. “I think that my perspective of ministry, my experience, adds to helping to navigate all these things that we’re dealing with, and the decisions that we need to make, and the process that we need to go through.” Some of the answers still wait to be found, he said, adding, “But I count it a privilege to be here.” In those first days of uncertainty after the fire, the church worked “on the fly” to organize the next worship. Volunteers came from other churches to help with music and to offer other support. “That first service, that was one of the most amazing worship experiences I’ve ever had in my ministry,” he said. “The place was packed, and it was a grace-filled moment. The service lasted two hours. And there are moments that happened within that worship that were indications that God stood up to say ‘You guys are going to be fine, and
I’ll walk with you every step of the way, and you are surrounded by the great cloud of witnesses.’ ” The loss of the structure itself is of no small moment, he said, adding that church members have held the most solemn of ceremonies within those walls. He said grief is appropriate. But he explained that the building was lost in December, “And we’ve been living with that casket next-door for all these months,” he said. Taylor Chapel Church traces its origin to 1865, at the location now known as Bower’s Cemetery. The church moved to the Chapel Ridge area in 1892, and to its present location in 1964. The church serves about 300 members. Plans call for a spring groundbreaking, and for construction to begin a few months later. If all goes well, the church will worship in the new sanctuary on Christmas of 2014, on the eve of the year that celebrates the church’s 150th anniversary.
Chronology A fire hit Taylor Chapel United Methodist Church on Dec. 31. Church trustees approved demolition of the sanctuary, preliminary to a new building program. A committee led by Ed Pierson is expected to hire a contractor in October, and to have designs for a new sanctuary in place by late winter. The target for groundbreaking is spring 2014. There is a chance the church will be able to worship in the new sanctuary for Christmas of 2014.

Australia, Tasmania tour to see former local pastor By Grace Housholder ghousholder@kpcmedia.com
KENDALLVILLE — At the request of Kendallville area residents, Edgerton’s Travel has created a special trip to Australia and Tasmania, a highlight of which will be time with the Rev. Paul Griebel, and his wife Cindy, in Tasmania. The Griebels served St. John Lutheran Church in Kendallville for many years. “Life is full of surprises,” the Rev. Griebel said. “And Hobart is one of them. It has a rich history, amazing scenery and lots of friendly, hospitable people. Join us for a worship service

on Sunday, and stay for morning tea, where you can mingle and chat with ‘fair dinkum’ Tasmanians and enjoy the view out of our church windows.” Their entire ministry in the U.S. was at St. John in Kendallville. Prior to coming to Kendallville, the Griebels served in Australia. “We enjoyed it there,” Cindy Griebel said about their years (September 1973 to early 1982) in Adelaide, South Australia, and then Frankston, Victoria, a suburb of Melbourne. In 1982, because their parents were having some health challenges, they felt they needed to move back to the U.S. Time with the Griebels will be the initial highlight of the Australia trip that begins Wednesday, April 2, with flights from Chicago to Hobart, Tasmania, where the Griebels are serving St. Peter’s Lutheran Church for two years. Guests will stay at the Grand Chancellor Hobart
Hotel. Activities in Hobart will include Sullivan’s Cove, the birthplace of Hobart, Parliament House, Salamanca Palace, Princes Park, Battery Point, and much more. Sunday will provide an opportunity to attend services at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church. On April 7 the group will fly to Melbourne, a favorite tourist destination, known for its botanic gardens, sporting arenas and waterfront shopping. On April 9, the group will fly to Sydney and then on April 11 the group will fly north to Cairns and experience the Great Barrier Reef. On the Quicksilver Wavepiercer catamaran travelers will visit the outer edge of the reef with several options to view the coral and colorful fish. On April 14 travelers can return to the U.S. or fly from Cairns to Auckland, New Zealand. Travelers who choose the New Zealand extension will return to the U.S. on April 20. Edgerton’s, one of the nation’s oldest and highly-rated travel agencies, is well known for excellent escorts and all the “extras” (such as excellent insurance) the tours provide.

Trail Blazer hopes for 500 Continuing the momentum to build a world-class trail network is the goal of an upcoming Fort Wayne Trails fundraiser. The second Trail Blazer 5K/10K takes place at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20, at Summit Middle School and will include a kids’ 1-mile fun run. Registration is $35 per person, although children can participate in the Fun Run for just $5. Details and registration information are available online at fwtrails.org. Last year’s Trail Blazer saw almost 500 runners and walkers take part, and event planners are looking to double that number this time around. “We were very happy with the turnout at our first Trail Blazer and are excited at the prospect of hundreds of more area residents taking part in October,” said Lori Rose, Fort Wayne Trails’ executive director. “The more people that support this fundraiser, the faster we can build more trail connections that help characterize Fort Wayne and Allen County as a healthy, vibrant place to live.” The event’s title sponsor is Lutheran Health Network Lutheran Hospital. Monies raised from the event will benefit the entire trail system by helping to unlock millions of dollars in matching grants as offi-

cials hope to add six more miles of trails throughout every quadrant of the community to the 70 miles that exist now within the next few years. “In southwest Fort Wayne, where the event will be held, we’re working to fill in gaps in the trails along Covington, Engle and Liberty Mills roads, which will greatly enhance the safety and viability of these corridors and connect that side of town with the rest of the trails system,” Rose said. “To the north, the projects will link people to the Fort Wayne Children’s Zoo, Glenbrook Square, Shoaff Park, several schools, and many more retail and residential areas that are
currently isolated. And in the southeast, we’re working to connect Southtown Centre to Anthony Blvd., with future plans to provide a loop to New Haven and a direct link to downtown Fort Wayne.” Connecting more of the existing trails will make for a more complete system, and local residents are taking advantage of the opportunities to safely travel by heel or by wheel to area destinations. The trails were used almost 500,000 times in 2012. Rose said Fort Wayne’s efforts are truly grass-roots in that citizens and volunteers have worked with the public sector all along as the driving force behind the trails.

Fund helps advance MS research at medical school By Linda Lipp llipp@kpcmedia.com
A bequest that came about as a result of one family’s great tragedy now stands to benefit an entire community.
The Anna Yoder MS Fund has been established at the Indiana University School of Medicine-Fort Wayne to further research and offer educational and outreach services for individuals and their families
affected by multiple sclerosis. The $500,000 to establish the fund came from the estate of Florabelle Yoder as a memorial to her granddaughter, Anna Yoder. Anna’s

mother, Peggy Yoder, was afflicted with MS that was first diagnosed when she was 32 years old and pregnant with her daughter. Florabelle and her husband, Ivan, were not wealthy, but they were frugal, said longtime friend Maureen Hillary. They had saved their money in hopes of leaving it to their granddaughter, but Anna died tragically and unexpectedly of encephalitis just a few weeks after graduating high school in 1997. Florabelle died in 2001 — her husband having preceded her in death — and left her estate to the management of Hillary with the provision that it be used to do something good. Although she was confined to a nursing home for 20 years, Peggy, ironically, outlived both her mother and daughter. She died in 2010, a full 30 years after her MS was discovered. While it was Peggy who was afflicted with MS, the fund is named after Anna because the money would have been hers had she lived, and because she was affected

by her mother’s disease in many significant ways, Hillary said. “Her mother couldn’t carry her. She was too weak to even put her arms around her,” Hillary recalled. “It had a big impact on her.” Hillary — then Maureen Zirille — first met the Yoders when she went to work full time and hired Peggy to baby-sit for her children during the summer. Anna
was just a couple months old and came along with her mother. “My kids all fell in love with her … She was like a little sister to them,” Hillary said. At one time, Hillary and her family even considered adopting Anna should her mother be unable to care for her. But when Peggy became too weak to keep Anna with her, the girl went to live with her grandparents.

Parkview rolls out heart screening coach Parkview Heart Institute has introduced the Parkview HealthFair Heart Mobile Screening Coach. The medical specialty coach is designed to provide common heart screenings from a health-care setting in convenient, public locations. A team of four staff provides services aboard the mobile coach. In less than an hour, an ultrasound technician can perform six different screenings in one of two private exam rooms. These types of screenings
are recommended for those 45 and older. Residents with risk factors such as diabetes, family history, and smoking are encouraged to consider these screenings beginning at age 40. Anyone interested in learning more can visit ParkviewHealthFair. com or may call (855) 356-8378. Of the ďŹ rst 97 individuals screened by the Parkview HealthFair Heart Mobile Screening Coach team, 60 individuals had some type of previously undetected
abnormality and one person’s results required emergent follow-up as their test indicated a serious health concern. “Heart disease is the leading cause of death, killing more than a half a million Americans every year,� said Chad Carpenter, COO, Parkview Heart Institute. “This mobile coach makes it convenient to get the appropriate screenings that can potentially prevent heart attacks and strokes, saving lives and avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations.�

‘Steel Magnolias’ and more coming to Concordia stage Concordia Lutheran High School will present two stage productions in October at the school at 1601 St. Joe River Drive. Chris Murphy will direct the comedy-drama “Steel Magnolias,” which will be staged at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, and at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 13. This play takes place in a beauty salon in a small southern town, where a group of gossipy women come to have their hair done and to catch up on all the latest news. When faced with their own mortality, they find they can draw on their underlying strength and love. “A Night of One Acts,” begins at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 20. “A Time to Go Home” is described as a unique look at dying — and living. It begins when four teenage friends are killed as their school bus is broadsided by
a drunken driver. Written as a vehicle to explore death and dying with teenagers, “A Time to Go Home” became a play about life. Abbey Stombaugh directs the play. In “Bad Auditions by Bad Actors,” directed by Sonya Eggold, a casting director has one day to find the leads for a community theater production of “Romeo and Juliet.” But what seems like a simple task proves impossible when the pool of actors includes extreme method actors, performers who just don’t know what to do with their hands, and one particular woman who might or might not think she’s a cat. Tickets are $6 for adults and $5 for students in high school and younger. For more information, program advertising forms, or ticket orders, call (260) 483-1102.
