INTEGRITY means that a person is the same
on the inside as he or she is on the outside.
There is no discrepancy between what he says
and what he does, between his walk and his
talk. A person of integrity can be trusted, and
he is the same person alone a thousand miles
from home as he is in church, or in his
community, or in his home.
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
today, and forever.

Lyon County 4-H Council
by
Karlee Wigton,
Lyon County 4-H Council
Reporter
The monthly 4-H
Council meeting was
called to order by
President Sarah Moyer
at 7:00 p.m. on May
4, 2015 at the Extension Meeting Room.
The Flag Salute and
4-H Pledge were led by
Katherine McGregor,
Jessica Klumpe and Karlee Wigton. Twenty-four
members representing
nine clubs answered
roll call. Sarah read the
Treasurer’s report and
the group accepted the
report as given and
moved to pay the bills.
Reporter Karlee Wigton reported that her
April report had been
published in both the
Emporia Gazette and
The Shopper.
Agent Corinne Patterson talked to the
members about the upcoming Petting Zoo on
May 6th. She reminded
everyone that camp
registrations are due on
May 8th. She also talked
about 4-H Day Camp
in June and reminded
everyone that you don’t
have to belong to 4-H
to attend camps but you
generally have to be recommended by a 4-H’er
so spread the word and
bring a friend.
After the group approved to pay a scholarship to assist a 4-H’er
in attending Discovery
Days, Vice President
Kyle Pederson went over
the announcements and
upcoming dates of interest. Kaman Simmons
moved for adjournment
and it was approved by
the members. The next
meeting will be Monday, June 1st at 7:00 at

Lyon County 4-H BB
Team to Go to Daisy
Nationals
Submitted by Garland Hanlin
The Lyon County
4-H BB Gun Shooting
Sports program was
successful Saturday, May
2, in qualifying for the
Daisy National BB gun
competition at Rogers,
Arkansas.
The Lyon County
team accomplished
receiving an invitation by placing third at
the Derby VFW State
Match. Team members
were Jarrett Botkin,
Dayne Witherspoon,
Deryk Witherspoon,
Garland Hanlin, and
Kaitlyn Karjala. In the
prone shooting position,
Garland Hanlin came
in 8th out of 46 competitors. Jarrett Botkin
placed 9th and Garland
Hanlin placed 12th in
the sitting position.
Jarrett Botkin received
an individual medal
for 2nd place in the
kneeling position while
Kaitlyn placed 9th and
Garland placed 11th.
Along with shooting
positions, competitors
had to take a written
test. Dayne Witherspoon received the highest individual score for
the team with a 90-percent. The team coaches
were Mark Witherspoon
and Trenna Hanlin.
(Editor’s Note: According to the website, www.daisy.com,
Qualifying for the Daisy
National BB Gun Championship Match (June
3-5) takes practice, hard
work, dedication and
resourcefulness. Coaches begin with weekly
classes of boys and
girls, ages 8 to 15. Only
when the classes have
completed lessons on
gun safety and proper
handling will they
progress to the airgun
range. They form their
five-member teams,
along with two alternate
athletes, then compete
at the state level for the
right to attend the Daisy
Nationals. Teams are responsible for their own
travel costs and often secure sponsors who share
in the pride of having
a local team go to this
prestigious match.)

NORTHERN LYON COUNTY JOURNAL, MAY 11, 1917
Royal wardrobes from American dress patterns? Ridiculous! Nevertheless
it is a fact that for years the nobility of England, France, Germany and other
European powers have been fashioning the garments of their womenfolk from
identically the same tissue paper patterns that are on sale in practically every
nook and corner of the United States.
While the world recognizes that Paris originates style, few people
realize that the adaptation and distribution of Paris creations are entirely in the
hands of Americans. There is one 16-story building in New York City entirely
devoted to the business of making dress patterns and publishing magazines
which go to the four corners of the earth regularly, with style information
gathered from the fashion centers of the world, particularly Paris. These
magazines are distributed here and abroad, in editions prepared in languages
appropriate to each country. Furthermore, the paper patterns for the fashions in
the magazine also go to these countries, where they outsell all similar magazines and patterns indigenous to those lands.

A new National Park
Service (NPS) report
shows that 17,776 visitors to Tallgrass Prairie
National Preserve in 2014
spent $997,000 in communities near the park.
That spending supported
16 jobs in the local
area and had a cumulative benefit to the local
economy of $1,262,000. Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve welcomes
visitors from across the
country and around the
world.
National park tourism
is a significant driver in
the national economy, returning $10 for every $1
invested in the National
Park Service, and it’s a big
factor in the local economy as well.
The peer-reviewed
visitor spending analysis
was conducted by U.S.
Geological Survey economists
Catherine Cullinane
Thomas and Christopher
Huber and National Park
Service economist Lynne
Koontz.
The report shows $15.7
billion of direct spending by 292.8 million park
visitors in communities
within 60 miles of a national park. This spending supported 277,000
jobs nationally; 235,600
of those jobs are found in
these gateway communi-
ties. The cumulative benefit to the U.S. economy
was $29.7 billion.
According to the 2014
report, most park visitor
spending was for lodging
(30.6 percent) followed
by food and beverages (20.3 percent), gas
and oil (11.9 percent),
admissions and fees (10.2
percent) and souvenirs
and other expenses (9.9
percent).

information for visitor
spending at individual
parks and by state. To

In celebration of the

2016 Centennial, Tallgrass Prairie National
Preserve invites you to

national parks and how
your park inspires you both in personal connections and memorable
experiences. Tallgrass
Prairie National Preserve

McCLINTICK TO JOIN HEALTH CENTER STAFF
Long-time physician, Greenwood County resident to
provide medical services in Eureka
EUREKA, Kan. –
Flint Hills Community
Health Center is proud
to announce that Dr.
Michael D. McClintick,
a Eureka native and
long-time physician,
will join its staff this
summer.
“We are very excited
to have Dr. McClintick
join us in August to
provide quality healthcare here in Eureka,”
said CEO Phillip Davis.
“We look forward to
helping him re-establish
his practice here and
having him provide
high-quality medical
services for this community for many years
to come.”
McClintick said he
is eager to return home
and continue the family
practice he enjoyed for
many years.
“This is my hometown, and this community means a lot to
me,” McClintick said. “I
am very excited to see
patients at Flint Hills
Community Health
Center and someday
finish out my career
here.”
Davis said the health
center’s administration
is laying the groundwork for McClintick to
be able to see patients
as soon as possible in
August.
“We offer benefits
like the sliding-fee
scale, which allows
patients to be seen at a
discounted fee – as low
as $10 for a medical
visit – based on their
household size and
income,” Davis said.
“Patients who see Dr.
McClintick will be able
to utilize those same
benefits.”
Staff members have
stayed busy seeing
patients at the Eureka
location, Davis said.
“Patient care has
been our No. 1 priority
during this transition,
so we made sure patients could get in for
appointments without
a long wait,” Davis said.
“We have even had
medical providers commuting from Emporia
to see patients with
more acute illnesses so
that regular care and
prescription refills for
chronic conditions
wouldn’t be interrupted.”
McClintick graduated from Eureka High
School in 1969, and
then he attended the
University of Kansas
School of Pharmacy,
graduating in 1975. He
went on to complete
his medical education at the Kansas City
University of Medicine
and Bioscience College of Osteopathic
Medicine in 1979. After
practicing medicine
for 33 years in Eureka, McClintick then
worked for 19 months
at St. Francis Health in
Topeka. There, he was
named the lead physician at the new Brewster Place Family Practice Clinic and director
of the ReadyCare urgent
clinic, supervising two
nurse practitioners and
two physician assistants.
McClintick and his
wife, Linda, raised four
children in Eureka, all
graduating from Eureka
High School.
“My work in Topeka
was very rewarding, and
I appreciated the professionalism I experienced
working for St. Francis
Health,” he said.
In other news, Davis
said Julie Weakley, a
nurse practitioner, will
join the Eureka staff
this fall. He also said
the health center’s dental addition in Eureka
is still moving forward
ahead of schedule, and
he anticipates the health
center will offer dental
services by July as originally stated.
Flint Hills Community Health Center offers medical, dental and
behavioral health on
a sliding-fee scale and
serves residents with
and without insurance.
The health center works
to promote the health
and well-being of the
entire community.
Flint Hills Community Health Center providers Joshua Reed (far left) and Erin Carlile (second from left) will
welcome Dr. Michael D. McClintick (far right), a Eureka native and long-time physician, to its staff this summer.
Julie Weakley (second from right) will join the staff this fall.

SOS “Kydzone” is for Chase County Youth
For the fourth year,
SOS, Inc. is providing an
interactive and educational
“Kydzone” summer camp
for Chase County youth
ages 8 to 12. SOS believes bullying,
healthy relationships, internet and personal safety and

Put A Little Library in Your Life:
Robin Clark’s Welcome
Reception, April 29, 2015
Dear Reader—
The date was Wednesday April 29, and like any
other day, the Emporia
Public Library had its
pockets of frenzied activity
and vigilant calm. Hosting the afternoon welcome
reception for our new
director, Robin Clark, as
she met people from the
community in the large
meeting room were Lynette
Olson and Jeanne Cranz,
and the focus on the next
chapter of the library felt
preeminent. In the weeks
since she’d moved three
hours down the highway
from her Nebraska home,
Robin has taken measure
of the Emporia Public
Library during her transition, building usage and
employee development
topped her list. Utilizing
the space in the library is a
priority, as well as dusting
off professional development. And this new leader,
who has the word “YES!”
in large wooden letters in
her office, is starting a new
chapter. The library has
entered a new season, and
the feeling is a little like the
Chase County Bulldogs
when Coach Slay came to
town.
But there is another aspect to the date of April 29,
that only library patrons
with the vintage blue-andwhite hard plastic library
cards might recall. Jeanne
Cranz, who started working at the Emporia Public
Library in 1977 when was
housed in the Carnegie
building, was there on
April 29, 1979, when the
Emporia Public Library
opened its new building after a three-year multi-million dollar project that took
two tries to pass in public
vote. The building project
was under way when she
was hired. “What I remember,” she said from her
administrative office, “was
that we wished it had been
a week later. We’d spent the
week moving books and
rearranging the shelves,
working long hours. Then
we held the grand opening
and opened that very day.
We did it all at the same
time.” Jeanne remembers
there being fewer than two
dozen employees thirty
years ago. In the midst
of settling the books and
sections in the stacks, the
library celebrated the new
building with the Friends
leading tours and serving
refreshments. A quartet
played in the reading area,
and The Gazette published
a spread of the new building’s layout.
the summer too.
“Kydzone” is 8:30 a.m.
to 4 p.m., June 22 – 26 at
the Community Building, Cottonwood Falls.
Each day of the week has
a theme and lessons are
based on those themes.
Lunch and snacks are
provided.
Some camp activities
include tie-dyed camp
T-shirts, water balloon
activities and multiple
team building exercises
teaching them teamwork
skills. These types of skills
are important for youth
to be successful in school
settings and their lives.
Therefore, it is important

educational opportunities
as a free service to Chase
County students.
SOS collaborates with
agencies to provide lessons
and activities for the youth.

at home treasures
By Helaine Fendelman and
Joe Rosson
Tribune News Service
Dear Helaine and Joe:
I have my greatgrandmother's doll.
She brought it from
Germany when I was a
child (I am now 64), and
when she passed, it came
to me. The doll's face
and hands are china and
her body is filled with
sawdust. She is 23 inches
tall. I would like to know
how much she is worth.
Thank you,
L. P.
Dear L. P.:
Since this doll came
from your great-grandmother, we imagine she
is priceless as a family
heirloom, but the collectors' view of dolls seems
to be changing.
More than 10 years
ago, the typical collector
was a man or an older
woman. Some of the
most respected experts
on the subject were men,
but now these individuals _ both male and
female _ who once ruled
the market are beginning
to die off and a younger
generation is taking over.
Sadly, many of these
younger people find
dolls scary or creepy and
are significantly uneasy
when one of these playthings is in the room.
Please see Treasures Page 12
Page 12
TREASURES
From PAGE 11
Others find dolls to be
nostalgic reminders of
their childhood, but often
they are more focused
on the commercial dolls
from the 1950s onward
_ dolls such as Mattel's
Barbie, American Character (American Character Doll Company) and
numerous examples from
the Ideal Toy Corporation.
But even Barbie and
Madame Alexander
are suffering right now
and the market on dolls
is somewhat sluggish,
except for the very best
of the best, which always
seems to do well. Please,
don't get us wrong, some
fine old examples of dolls
still bring prices above
$10,000 at auctions in
both Europe and the
United States, but these
dolls are very special
indeed.
The doll in today's
question is a bisqueheaded doll, meaning
that its head is made
from porcelain that has
been fired only once.
This leaves a texture that
is almost like skin, and
yes, some people do find
the feel of this surface to
be off-putting (to say the
very least).
The doll's body is
probably cloth-filled
with what Americans call
"wood wool" or "excel-
FLINT HILLS SHOPPER
sior," which is basically a
good grade of wood slivers that was sometimes
used in stuffed toys and a
variety of other products.
L. P. might also gently
feel around the body
to see if she discovers a
small, round box buried
in the shavings. This
would be a box that made
a "Mama" noise when
compressed or jiggled.
We have little doubt
that this doll was made
in Germany sometime
around the turn of the
20th century. The face
looks right for a German doll, as does the
painted-on eyebrows and
the slightly open mouth,
which probably reveals
some teeth.
The doll appears to
be good quality, but the
clothes are probably
not original, which is
something of a minus.
A number of German
companies made dolls
and doll parts, so without
a signature attributing
this to a specific maker,
identification as to maker
will probably be impossible.
Still, the size of this
doll is in its favor, and
its insurance replacement value is probably in
the $650 to $800 range
if there is absolutely no
damage whatsoever.

Lyon County Historical Facts
Provided by Lyon County Historical Society
How many other little known graves exist throughout the county? Perhaps Sac
and Fox Indians had a burial ground somewhere along the Marais Des Cygnes River
in the northeast part of the county. Where were the Indians buried who died in the
1836 battle between the Sacs and the Comanches southeast of Hartford in the Indian
Hill neighborhood? How many other immigrants on the trails west were buried
in lonely graves unmarked by any stones? How many disease-ravaged women and
children died of poor diet, inappropriate shelter, homesickness, or stress arising from
the many dangers of early frontier life? Where were they buried?
High on a bluff south of the Cottonwood River, half a mile east of the Rocky Ford
bridge lies the forgotten grave of Mrs. Margaret Gunkel who died in the late 1860s. In
1933, six generations of her descendants had lived in Lyon County, and by now possibly twice as many. Known long ago as the Gunkel burying ground, the native stone
markers remain, some with the letter G carved into them, others deeply embedded
in the soil with initials obliterated. Ten of the graves were members of her family, and
two were wives of Louis Cottingham. A child of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Fowler was also
laid to rest there along with several others. On February 10, 1933, Laura French, then
city editor of the Gazette, wrote of this now inaccessible burial ground.
