Tuesday, January 20, 2015 FLINT HILLS SHOPPER Page 5 Chase County Museum Messenger By Derrick Doty, director Chase County Historical Museum of Let’s start the New Year off with a little vexillology. Vexillology is the study of flags. Some time back we learned about a World War I era Liberty Bond flag in our collection. Just to refresh your memory, the Liberty Bond flag was presented to Peoples Exchange Bank of Elmdale by the United States Treasury Department for selling their quota of bonds during WWI. There are a few other interesting American flags in our collection that are worthy of notice. The largest flag, measuring 100 inches long, is possibly the oldest flag in the collection. It is a 38 star flag given to the museum by Blanch Schwilling. Seen here is the photograph of Blanche Schwilling with the flag that was printed in the Emporia Gazette on Flag Day 1969. Our 38th star was added for Colorado and served from July 4, 1877 through July 4, 1890. Congress always declared the official flag on July 4. The flag is quite fragile, showing faded colours and wear. Some holes have been patched, and even the patches appear to be quite old. The flag has a rope sewn into the hoist for reinforcement and button holes stitched for the flag to be tied to a pole. The next flag of interest is a printed 42 star flag for Washington state. It’s time was short lived as we only had 42 states for a period of less than eight months from November 11, 1889 to July 3, 1890. In fact it was never declared an official flag. And you’ll notice this was the only time Congress deviated from its traditional July 4 date for declaring an official flag. Makers often began producing flags before they were officially declared in order to get ahead of their competition. The final flag I would like to mention is a 45 star flag. Utah was added to the Union on January 4, 1896, and so this printed example represented that state until 1908.

Gordon Parks-where had I heard that before? From a patron, searching for a book of photographs taken by Gordon Parks’ son while in Vietnam. She’d been visibly shocked that I didn’t know the name of the world-famous photographer, nor any of his works, which it turned out were on the shelves, DVD rack, and in the Kansas room (the photographs from Vietnam we inter-library loaned). In order to honor the Kansas man who photographed Martin Luther King, and to make amends, here is what I’ve gleaned: In his documentary, Half Past Autumn, Gordon Parks, born in 1912, the youngest of fifteen in Fort Scott, Kansas, raised on a tenant farm, attended a segregated elementary school, remembered a class advisor saying black students didn’t need to go to college, since they’d be working as maids and porters anyway. Mr. Parks left Kansas as a teenager, and in multiple memoirs in poetry and prose, as well as his film based on his Kansas boyhood, The Learning Tree, he depicts the land he loved, and the harsh life he knew as a black boy growing up in a segre- gated town. Working for LIFE magazine, he used his lens to show the country the great needs of the world as well as their own neighborhoods. The show, Gordon Parks: Back to Fort Scott, opened on January 17, and focuses on the trip he made in 1950, returning to Fort Scott for the first time since leaving in 1927. The town was still segregated. Along the way, he looked up eleven former middle school classmates across the midwest--now working, or eking out a living--to photograph in their current lives. From notes in the Gor- don Parks Foundation archives, it seemed part of his plan to write a racially-charged retrospective. LIFE never ran the piece, and the photographs remained mostly unknown behind his various pursuits in music, art, and film. Until Karen Haas, the show’s curator, brought them to light for the first time. Fortunately, people are still bringing Gordon Parks to light. Whether you’re familiar with this famous Kansan, or surprised to find another monumental figure in the Midwest, your curiosity will be well paid by looking for him. My thanks to this patron, for introducing him to me.

Pickled eats, kitchen coaches, artisan foods and stronger flavors By Judy Hevrdejs Chicago Tribune Food forecasters and culinary prognosticators have spoken. Bored by too-sweet eats? Sour foods _ pickled and fermented _ are moving onto the plate to save our taste buds in 2015, says J. Walter Thompson, the marketing communication folks. Bitter is big, too, with darker coffees, deeper chocolates and cruciferous veggies joining the mix, Technomic's food industry researchers say. Speaking of veggies, you may soon put more hybrid versions on your shopping list, such as Kalettes (kale plus Brussels sprouts) or broccoflower, a marriage of _ if you have to ask, you don't know your vegetables. If you're grumbling, "That doesn't sound like real food," get this: Expect more foods that look and taste like the real thing but aren't, i.e. eggless Just Mayo from Hampton Creek Foods and tomato sushi from San Francisco chef James Corwell, say the JWT folks. And you may want to make room next to the food processor and juicer in your kitchen: 3-D food printers geared to the home cook are on the horizon, reports online news service Food Navigator-USA. Here's what savvy food folks say we'll be cooking and eating in 2015: Hybrid veggies: You'll hear a lot about them, "but they're going to have a very small presence in our lives," says Brian Wansink, director of Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab and author of "Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life." "They can't be produced on the scale that will make them affordable to most of us, and their health benefits are marginal compared to just taking broccoli or kale or broccoli and kale separately. ... (But) anything that makes vegetables more exciting is good." Fermented food: "We're seeing it go more mainstream, from sauerkraut to using kombucha or kimchee. These products are used not just as a condiment but rather as the main course," says SupermarketGuru's Phil Lempert, a food marketing expert. "While they've been out there, there will be an increased focus where people are going to understand that it can aid digestion." Kitchen mentors: Cooking schools have evolved. "It's more about having people who can empower you, saying, 'Here's why you use the shallot,' and not somebody just saying, 'Use a shallot, chop it up and whatever else,'" Lempert says. "It's a much more holistic approach to cooking foods." Spice it up: New spices and sauces turn common eats exotic. Expect companies to develop Shake 'N Baketype bag mixes for, say, green beans or cauliflower, Wansink says. "It's also what we can do as cooks" _ such as he does, shaking veggies in a bag with seasonings before roasting them. Sriracha, the new ketchup? Expect more flavors, fruits and vegetables unique to Latin America, but expect Asian flavors (to go with our ramen appetite?) in the home mix as well, says Darren Seifer, a food and beverage industry analyst with NPD Group, a market research company. Their "kitchen audit" found Sriracha in 9 percent of homes. "However, when you look at homes where the head of household is younger than 35, about 16 percent have Sriracha. ... It's now a household staple." Call it combo cooking: Convenience foods once meant a frozen dinner or entree, trimmed prep, almostzero cleanup. Evidence shows that meaning is shifting to include an element of freshness, Seifer says. "Now it's 'How can I achieve freshness while still getting out of the kitchen in a short amount of time?'" Millennials using fresh items doesn't mean "they want to be or are even becoming home chefs by any stretch of the imagination." It does mean they may reach for liquid eggs (cuts cracking time), then add their own flavorings. Think craft foods: Craft beer helped some big brewers, "whether they made it up, bought it, acquired it, whatever," says Lempert _ for example, AnheuserBusch's purchase of Goose Island Beer Co. "We're starting to see the same thing happen in food. ... We're going to see a lot more locally produced, limited disPlease see Cooking, Page 13 Page 10 FLINT HILLS SHOPPER Tuesday, January 20, 2015 Flint Hills Shoot Out Basketball Tournament W. L.

Same-day delivery: Joining Peapod and Amazon Fresh, "Google Express is putting every food retailer in the same-day delivery business," Lempert says. That, in turn, changes how we buy food. "We're not going into a supermarket 2.2 times a week." Smoked foods: Restaurants and bars are already doing it. "Smoked flavor makes foods more complex," Lempert says. Smoked cocktails, butters, vegetables and even products that have been on the shelf for a while (fire-roasted tomatoes) "are going to rise dramatically in the next year," he says. Clear the counters: "People are going to start understanding that how they set up their kitchen, how they serve food and where they place food is the biggest determinant of how healthy they eat," Wansink says. "Small adjustments _ getting all food off the counter and only having a fruit bowl on _ will do more to influence how people eat in 2015 than any other thing." Lyon County Historical Facts Provided by Lyon County Historical Society Santa Fe train crews made their last crew changes in Emporia on June 18, 1990. From then on, trainmen began working out of Kansas City. Emporia lost population as many long-time residents made the move. Others elected to remain living here although it meant long drives to work and long drives home from work out of Kansas City. Prior to this business decision, railroaders had gone to work in Emporia for 120 years. At one time a large roundhouse located east of Las Casitas Park had employed many men whose responsibility was turning engines to go the opposite direction after being hitched onto a different set of cars. Emporia’s Harvey House, which served meals to Santa Fe patrons for 29 years, closed its doors in 1937, and the building was razed in 1940. For years a favorite eating place in town, the Harvey House was lost in a decision made by general manager of the Santa Fe, H.B. Lautz. The building had been constructed by S.N. Parker, Emporia contractor, in the summer of 1908. A three-story brick building, the Harvey House contained nine rooms for guests as well as its famous restaurant. The restaurant was heavily patronized by Santa Fe passengers, but it was also a popular place for private parties with its reputation for fine service and excellent food. USDA SELECTS FIRST PROJECTS OF NEW, INNOVATIVE PROGRAM Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced that 100 highimpact projects across all 50 states, including Kansas, will receive more than $370 million as part of the new Regional Conservation Partnership Program (RCPP). RCPP focuses on public-private partnership and enables private companies, local communities, and other non-government partners a way to invest in efforts to keep our land resilient and water clean, and promote tremendous economic growth in agriculture, construction, tourism, and outdoor recreation. This year’s projects in Kansas will accomplish a wide diversity of agricultural goals to improve soil health, water quality and water use efficiency, wildlife habitat, and other related natural resources on private lands. “Partners are seeing the value of conservation and investing in their future,” Vilsack said. “These partnerships are forging a new path for getting conservation on the ground and are providing opportunities for communities to have a voice and ownership in protecting and improving our natural resources. The Regional Conservation Partnership Program ushers in a new era of conser- vation, and we’re excited about the down-the-road benefits from this new Farm Bill program.” This year’s projects will engage hundreds of partners with wide-ranging interests, including communities, conservation districts, agribusiness, non-government organizations, for- and non-profit organizations, state and federal agencies, and Tribal governments. In addition to U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) funds, partners will contribute an estimated $400 million, more than doubling USDA’s investment. “RCPP puts our partners in the driver’s seat,” said Eric B. Banks, USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) State Conservationist in Kansas. “Projects are locally led, and demonstrate the value of strong publicprivate partnerships that deliver solutions to tough natural resource challenges.” In Kansas, there is one multi-state project ap proved through a national ranking pool.

Dear Helaine and Joe: I am trying to find out about this painting which I have inherited. I hope you may have some answers. Thank you, A. D. L. Dear A. D. L.: Yes, we do have some answers about this charming painting of three sheep in a barn with a chicken pecking at their feet and what appears to be a cow munching on the same hay from another side. Unfortunately, A. D. L. failed to tell us the size of this work, which is one of the important factors in determining a painting’s value. We had another serious problem, which finally resolved itself by our resorting to trial and error. All we had was the artist’s name on a brass plaque, and that was so washed out in the photo that all we could make out was “C. Van L_pu_ll_.” Eventually, we converted the two Ls to two Ts (we really thought this was unlikely) and came up with C. Van Leemputten. Bingo! The artist’s name was Cornelius van Leemputten, a Belgian painter who was born in Please see Treasures, Page 15 Land AUCTION Thursday, Feb. 12, 2015 – 6:00PM Senior Center, Eskridge, KS 2 Tracts Wabaunsee Co., KS Grassland Tract 1 – 40 Acres M/L - 23 Acres CRP, Brome, So.

His hometown was the village of Werchter, Belgium which is known (as far as we can determine) for two things _ a huge rock music festival (the country’s largest) and van Leemputten. Van Leemputten is known for his landscapes featuring sheep and for his barnyard scenes featuring chickens and roosters with maybe a few pieces featuring the images of cows. Now and then a human figure such as a shepherdess will appear, but this is somewhat uncommon. Van Leemputten was essentially an untrained artist even thought he was a pupil at the Antwerp Academy for a short time. But despite his lack of formal training, he won gold medals at a number of international expositions including Ghent, Belgium, in 1886, Edinburgh, Scotland, in 1887, and Berlin in 1896. In addition, van Leemputten was honored with FLINT HILLS SHOPPER Belgium’s highest honor, the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Leopold, in 1895. When it comes to art, we hesitate to make an attribution on a brass tag applied to a frame because these can be very misleading and even incorrect. But in this case, the painting is indeed in the style of van Leemputten, and the frame appears to be original and very much like the frames we found on other van Leempteen images. Now, what about the value? Van Leemputten tended to paint rather small images. We found examples as small as 6 { by 9 { inches. But we also found examples as large as 29 by 40 inches. Also, his detailed outdoor scenes seem to be more valuable than his interior barn scenes. At worst, this painting should be valued in the $1,500 to $2,000 range, but it may be worth more in the $2,500 to $3,500 range if it is larger than we suppose.
