People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered.
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies.
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous.
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough.
Give the best you’ve got anyway.
You see,
In the final analysis it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

Lyon County Historical Facts
Provided by Lyon County Historical Society
Other diagonal roads in old Lyon County include a road that branched off
of the Santa Fe Trail at old Allen and ran diagonally southwest to Americus,
crossing Allen Creek at Foster Springs. From Americus, the road continued
southwesterly, crossing the Neosho River where the old Hutch Bridge used to
stand and going on to Plymouth and continuing out of the county toward El
Dorado. Another diagonal on the 1878 Atlas shows a road running from the
Ruggles Bridge south of Americus in a southwesterly direction to an area east
of Plymouth. Still another road angled from Road E between Roads 140 and
Road 150 southwesterly out of the county.
In Elmendaro Township, a diagonal road used to run from the southwest
corner of Hartford in a southwesterly direction toward Eagle Creek, probably
toward where the long extinct town of Elmendaro may have been located. Another diagonal road in southeast Lyon County originated from the old Neosho
Rapids Katy train station southwest of Neosho Rapids across the river near Old
Blue. It then stretched south southwesterly down toward Eagle Creek. These
old diagonal roads may have been trails originally, even Indian trails adapted
by the early settlers.

30+ Local Volunteers Will Brave the Shave
to Support Childhood Cancer Research
St. Baldrick’s Foundation
event to raise money for
lifesaving research
The St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a volunteer-driven
organization dedicated to
raising money for children’s cancer research, will
host one of its signature
head-shaving events at
Mulready’s Pub 717 Commercial St. on Mar. 14
2015, where more than 30
men, women, and children
will brave the shave in
solidarity with kids with
cancer and raise money
to Conquer Childhood
Cancers!
Why all the shaved
heads? Worldwide a child
is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes,
and one in five children
diagnosed in the U.S. will
not survive. With only
4 percent of all federal
cancer research funding
dedicated to pediatric cancer research, St. Baldrick’s
Foundation volunteers,
supporters and donors are
needed to continue the
battle against this devastating disease.
This is our 5th year
organizing this event here
in Emporia. Through the
efforts of volunteers and
shaves, and the generous
support of community
members, to date we have
raised over $35,000 to
directly fund research
to fund pediatric cancer
research.
We will again have a
float in the annual St. Patrick’s day parade, with our
Head shaving event starting immediately following
the parades completion.
Individuals interested in participating as
a shave or a volunteer,
can go to https://www.

About St. Baldrick’s
Foundation
The St. Baldrick’s
Foundation is a volunteerdriven charity committed to funding the most
promising research to
find cures for childhood
cancers and give survivors
long and healthy lives. St.
Baldrick’s coordinates its
signature head-shaving
events worldwide where
participants collect pledges
to shave their heads in
solidarity with kids with
cancer, raising money to
fund research. Since 2005,
St. Baldrick’s has awarded
more than $154 million to
support lifesaving research,
making the Foundation
the largest private funder
of childhood cancer research grants. St. Baldrick’s
funds are granted to
some of the most brilliant
childhood cancer research
experts in the world and
to younger professionals
who will be the experts of
tomorrow. Funds awarded
also enable hundreds
of local institutions to
participate in national
pediatric cancer clinical
trials, and the new International Scholar grants train
researchers to work in
developing countries. For

It’s time for Walk Kansas
Many of you have
asked so here it is…. The
colors for Walk Kansas
have been announced.
The colors this year are
coral, purple and grey.
Walk Kansas celebrates
14 years this year! Walk
Kansas is a great eight
week fitness challenge to
get us back outside in the
spring to enjoy the fresh
air and sunshine. What
better time to reaffirm
our New Year resolutions and get in shape for
summer. I invite each of
you to join a team for this
eight week fitness challenge. Walk Kansas starts
March 15 and ends on
May 9. Get your family,
co-workers and friends
together and join in the
fun.
Walk Kansas became
a state wide program in
2001. Our county contin-
ues to grow in the number of participants. Last
year we had 129 teams
of six in our county and
I would like to have at
least a 100 teams in Lyon
County again this year.
Crawford County (Pittsburg) has 140 teams on
average each year. If they
can do it so can we. Let’s
get going Lyon County!
On the state level 22,000
people participate in this
eight week fitness chal-
lenge.
How does Walk Kansas work?
Walk Kansas is a
program that motivates
people of all ages to get
started making small
changes in our lifestyle
to improve our health.
The program is simple,
inexpensive and safe, and
all you need is a team of
six people and a desire to
get moving.
Teams don’t really need to walk or ride
together, although they
may if they want to.
You simply pool your
minutes each week to
work towards the goal
of 423 miles across the
state of Kansas, if each
team member gets the
150 minutes a week this
challenge is for you.
Challenge two this year is
846 miles across Kansas and back each team
member needs 5 hours
of physical activity each
week to achieve this goal.
Or, your team can also
choose to walk around
Kansas which is 1200
miles; each team member
needs 6 hours of physical
activity each week to go
1200 miles.
The physical goal for
each team member is 2
½ hours (150 minutes) a
week of activity, Walking isn’t the only activity
that counts. Any moderate to vigorous physical
activity done for at least
10 minutes at a time
counts toward your goal.
Biking, hiking, swimming, Pilates, yoga, and
Zumba are all activities
that would count for your
time. Strength training is
also a great activity. Walk
Kansas goals are based on
Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and
MyPlate.gov.
Participants will also
record daily fruit and
vegetable consumption.
We strive to get our 5
servings of fruits and
vegetables a day. Team
members will report
progress to their team
captain on a weekly basis.
Team captains then make
a weekly report to the
Extension Office or on
the website.
Why is a healthy
lifestyle important? Only
52% of the people living in Kansas reach the
minimum weekly goal
for physical activity. Only
19 percent of Kansans eat
enough fruits and vegetables each day. Chronic
disease is responsible for
more than 70 percent
of health care expenditures in our state. Many
chronic conditions can
be prevented and controlled by healthy lifestyle
behaviors.
Kansas ranks as the
19th most obese state in
the nation, findings that
were released in a report
from the Trust for American’s Health and the
Robert Wood Johnson
Foundation. The prevalence of obesity among
children (ages 6-11) has
more than tripled since
1980.
Increased activity
and better nutrition can
postpone or reverse
type 2 diabetes, and
reduce risk factors for
cardiovascular disease,
some cancers, and other
diseases stemming from
obesity. Other benefits of
a healthy lifestyle include
more energy, better sleep,
improved coordination, increased muscle
strength and flexibility,
a more positive attitude,
and a boost in brain
power.
There will be a $12.00
registration fee per participant in Lyon County
for Walk Kansas 2014.
This includes a t-shirt,
Kick-off Party, Fat Bucks
Buffet, Walk Abouts
and all three classes. We
would like to have teams
registered by February
26th, if you would like
your shirts by kick-off.
We will register teams up
to March 13th.
So, gather your teammates, dust off your exercise shoes and prepare
to join us in the 8 week
journey across Kansas!
Team Captain Packets are
available on line at www.
lyon.ksu.edu. Individual
packets are also posted
on-line. You may also
pick up packets at Flint
Hills Mall, Emporia Rec
Center, Genesis, and Emporia Fitness, or the Lyon
County Extension Office.
If you have questions
please call me at the Extension Office 341-3220.
I will be glad to visit with
you. I look forward to
hearing from all of you
soon. Help me reach my
goal of 100 teams.

St. David’s Society
Continuing a Welsh
tradition for the 127th
year, the St. David’s
Society of the State of
Kansas will host the St.
David’s Concert on Sunday, March 1, 2:30 p.m.,
at the Emporia Presbyterian Church West
Campus, 1702 W. 15th
Ave., Emporia. March 1
is St. David’s Day which
is the anniversary of the
patron saint’s death.
Returning for her second year, Eluned Jones
of Brookings, South Dakota will be conductor
and soloist for the concert. Eluned was born
in Wales, “The Land of
Song,” to be a musical
family. Summers were
spent playing, dancing, and singing their
way around Western
Europe at folk festivals
and folk camps. Their
family-based Black Velvet Band resulted from
these activities. Eluned
moved to the U.S. in
1977 pursuing graduate studies at NC State
and later a PhD from
TAMU. Reconnecting
with her musical abilities, she performed with
Tan y Ddraig (Fire of the
Dragon) throughout the
U.S. Presently, Eluned is
Professor and Head of
the Economics Department at South Dakota
State University.
Diane McCarty, accompanist, will present
an organ prelude. The
heart of the concert,
the St. David’s Chorus,
will sing the traditional
“Welcome Song.” As a
snowstorm affected last
year’s concert, favorite selections will be
repeated including the
jubilant “Sanctus,” the
spirited “Builth,” and
the reverent “Rhys.” The
expressive “Penpark”
will be performed by a
quartet.
President Deb
Childears will give
opening remarks and
make introductions. The
invocation and benediction will be given by the
Rev. Gary Gooszen. St.
David’s Society officers
for 2015-2016 are: President Evora Wheeler,
Vice President Jann
Briggs, Secretary Marilyn Hoy and Treasurer
Tom Fowler.
Following the concert, the Presbyterian
Women will serve a
reception of tea and bara
brith. CDs and DVDs
of the 125th concert
will be available at the
membership table. There
will be a display concerning the restoration
of the schoolhouse and
church in the Welsh
community of Arvonia,
KS, four miles north of
Lebo. Both are listed on
the Kansas and National
Registry of Historic
Places. Kansas NRCS Announces
National Initiatives for 2015
Eric B. Banks, State
Conservationist with
U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)
announces five national
initiatives being offered
in Kansas through the
Environmental Quality Incentives Program
(EQIP): Lesser PrairieChicken Initiative,
National Water Quality
Initiative, On-Farm Energy Initiative, Organic
Initiative, and Seasonal
High Tunnel Initiative.
While NRCS accepts
applications for EQIP
on a continuous basis,
NRCS has set a deadline
of March 20, to apply for
2015 initiatives funding.
Initiatives Overview
Lesser Prairie-Chicken Initiative: NRCS will
assist producers in 36
counties to implement
conservation practices
specifically targeted to
improve the lesser prairie-chicken (LPC) habitat while promoting the
overall health of grazing
lands and the long-term
sustainability of Kansas
ranching. Expired or
expiring Conservation
Reserve Program fields
in permanent cover that
may benefit LPC habitat
may also be eligible for
funding. This initiative
will be offered in
Barber, Clark, Comanche, Edwards, Ellis,
Finney, Ford, Gove,
Graham, Grant, Gray,
Greeley, Hamilton,
Haskell, Hodgeman,
Kearny, Kiowa, Lane,
Logan, Meade, Morton,
Ness, Pawnee, Pratt,
Rush, Scott, Seward,
Sheridan, Sherman,
Stafford, Stanton, Stevens, Thomas, Trego,
Wallace, and Wichita
counties.
National Water Quality Initiative: NRCS will
assist producers with
addressing high-priority
water resource concerns
in three watersheds.
These include: Big
Creek Watershed in Ellis
county; Emma Creek
Watershed in Harvey,
Marion, and McPherson
counties; and Grasshopper Creek Watershed in
Atchison, Brown, and
Jackson counties.
On-Farm Energy Initiative: Producers work
with an NRCS-approved
Technical Service Provider (TSP) to develop
Agricultural Energy
Management Plans or
farm energy audits that
assess energy consump-
tion on an agricultural
operation. NRCS may
also provide assistance
to implement various
recommended improvements identified in the
energy audit through
the use of conservation practices offered
through this initiative.
Organic Initiative:
NRCS will assist producers with installation
of conservation practices on agricultural operations related to organic
production. Producers
currently certified as
organic, transitioning
to organic, or producers
who are exempt based
on the National Organic
Program will have access to a broad set of
conservation practices
to assist in treating their
resource concerns while
fulfilling many of the
requirements in an organic system plan.
Seasonal High Tunnel
Initiative: NRCS helps
producers implement
high tunnels that extend
growing seasons for
high value crops in an
environmentally safe
manner. High tunnel
benefits include better
plant and soil quality
and fewer nutrients and
pesticides in the environment.
Eligibility
EQIP offers financial
and technical assistance
to eligible participants
to install or implement
structural and management practices on eligible agricultural land.
Conservation practices
must be implemented
to NRCS standards and
specifications. In Kansas, socially disadvan-
taged, limited resource,
and beginning farmers
and ranchers will receive a higher payment
rate for eligible conservation practices applied.

programs offered by
NRCS, please contact

Spring Break Camp Answers the Dilemma of
what to do with the Kids
Spring Break is coming
up, and Camp White has
a new option to keep your
children entertained and
active over this holiday. White Memorial
Camp, located on 164
acres at Council Grove
Lake, has introduced a
Spring Break residential
camp for youth in grades
4-8 to provide an alternative for kids to celebrate
their week off school.
Parents can rest easy
knowing their children are
having fun – think hiking,
archery, campfires, video
gaming, crafts and lots of
educational entertainment
for youth.
“We kept hearing
from parents that they
didn’t know what to do
with their children over
Spring Break. Many of
them couldn’t take time
off work. So, we designed
this camp week to be a
change from normal daily
activities so kids can go
back to school refreshed
and ready to learn,” Camp
Director, Jancy Pettit said.
Program Director Justin Whittaker has planned
a memorable week. “We’ve
packed this week with all
kinds of things kids like to
do,” he said. “Camp White
is a wonderful place to be
outdoors and enjoy the
beginnings of spring. Even
if the weather doesn’t
cooperate, we have lots of
indoor options too.”
The camp runs from
Sunday, March 15,
through Friday evening,
March 20. More information can be found on the
camp’s website: www.
WhiteMemorialCamp.
com, emailing director@
whitememorialcamp.com
or by calling 620-7675165.

Put A Little Library In Your Life: Kansas State
Online Libraries and MasterFILE Premier
The word “database”
isn’t the first choice for
the Kansas State Library
when talking about their
online resources. That’s
because the resources
offered through the
EBSCO-Host interface of
online databases covers
many of the subjects and
just as many full-text
titles as you would find
in Barnes & Noble. The
online database MasterFILE Premier offers you
a vast source of information, containing three
educational databases for
elementary, middle, and
high school, as well as
other resources. Through
our subscription to the
Kansas State Library, you
can access online libraries, or databases under
the Reference drop tab of
the Emporia Public Library home page (www.
emporialibrary.org). From the Kansas State
Library page, under
the General Research
heading,
click on
the MasterFILE
Premier
link. This
database
has been
shaped
and
stocked with public libraries in mind,
containing full-text for
nearly 1,700 periodicals
and over 164,000 titles,
(64,000 more titles than
the Emporia Public
Library collection), not
including 500 reference
books. Librarians like
using this database for
its safety factor--all images have been scanned
and checked, so there
are no surprises--as well
as its ability to filter and
sort a vast
amount of
information
based on
limiters--the
parameters that
can be set
through the
Advanced
Search mode. Limiters are listed on the
left-hand side of the
Advanced Search page.
You can select full-text
articles, and limit your
search by publication
date, source type (magazine, journal, newspaper,
etc.), and subject at any
time during your search.
Students like this database because when they
choose an article, there
are built-in citations for
their bibliography pages,
and the Listen mode for
articles has the Australian and British accents,
as well as American
accent.
Once you’ve narrowed
your search and found
articles to read, you can
choose to print, email, or
save them in a file folder,
which librarians compare to an online filing
cabinet for the articles
you want to keep. These
general databases cast a
wide net for topics of research and general interest, gathering information on subjects across
the library spectrum.

Kansas history, assess
a natural environment,
camp under the stars,
explore nature, learn to
swim, play on a team,
follow a trail, catch fish
and harvest game, participate in the shooting
sports and play in a safe
environment.”

Dear Helaine and Joe:
I have an old wicker

in good condition, with
minor wear. I am downsizing and would like
to sell it. Any idea of its
current value?

If you want the best, buy International Stock and Chicken Food – the kind
that Dan Patch eats. Dan Patch (1896-1916) was a race horse that broke
world records at least 14 times in the early 1900’s. Harness racing was the
top sport in America at the time, and pacer Dan Patch set the world record
for the mile. He eventually lowered the mark by four seconds, an unheardof achievement that would not be surpassed for decades. His speed was
such that other owners sometimes refused to race their horses against him,
leaving him to compete against the clock. America loved Dan Patch, who,
though kind and gentle, seemed to understand that he was a superstar: he
acknowledged applause from the grandstands with a nod or two of his
majestic head and stopped as if to pose when he saw a camera. He became
the first celebrity sports endorser; his name appeared on breakfast cereals,
washing machines, cigars, razors, and sleds and many homes had a picture
of him on the wall. At a time when the highest-paid baseball player, Ty
Cobb, was making $12,000 a year, Dan Patch was earning over a million
dollars annually.

time. It is said that the
ancient Egyptians made
chairs and tables from
this material, and the
Romans used it to craft
sofas and baskets.
Rattan, incidentally,
is the stem or trunk of
a climbing palm that is
native to China, India,
Malaysia and other
Asian countries. When
the outer bark is removed and the interior
vine is dried, what remains is the hard inner
shell, or rattan. When
rattan is split into flat
strips, the remaining
product is called cane.
The popularity of
wicker furniture has had
its ups and downs over
the millennia, but the
late 1800s to the early
1900s is often called the
"Golden Age of Wicker."
Prior to 1850, most of
the wicker furniture
available in the United
States was made either
in England or Asia.
The Berrian family of
New York City may have
been the first to have a
factory manufacturing
wicker furniture. But
the two most famous
companies were located
in Massachusetts and
were founded by Levi
Heywood, who established a bentwood and
Windsor chair factory in
Gardner, Mass., in 1826,
and Cyrus Wakefield, a
grocer who established
a factory to make wicker
furniture in 1855.
Heywood added
wicker furniture after
the end of the Civil War
and became a fierce
business rival with the
Wakefield Rattan Company of South Redding
(later renamed Wakefield). The company was
founded after Wakefield, a Boston grocer,
noticed all the wasted
rattan lying around on
the docks. The material was used to cushion
cargo during long sea
voyages from Asia, but
after the trip was over,
the material was discarded.
Wakefield found a
use for it, and soon he
and Heywood were
competing aggressively
in the wicker furniture
business. The two firms
merged in 1897 and
became the Heywood
Brothers and Wakefield
Company. Not until
1921 did they become
known as HeywoodWakefield Company.
The chair in today's
question, with its high
back decorated with
swags and roundels, is
often called a photographer's chair, because
it was sometimes used
as a posing chair in a
photography studio.
It looked good in the
pictures and helped the
subjects set up straight
while getting their picture taken.
This circa 1891 to
1897 chair is all-natural,
unpainted wicker, and
this is to its monetary
advantage because
collectors prize wicker
furniture that has
never been painted.
One exactly like this
one _ except it had been
painted white _ sold
at Thomaston Place
Auction Company in
Thomaston, Maine on
March 29, 2014, for
$250. This one might
bring a bit more because
of its natural finish.

Flint Hills Women:
Prairie Talk at
Pioneer Bluffs
A scholar who grew
up in the Flint Hills
has studied the lives of
local women, women
who work alongside
men on cattle ranches
in the Flint Hills. Their
stories will be told at an
upcoming community
event at an historic Flint
Hills ranch.
At 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 7, Farrell
Hoy Jenab will share
what she has learned
from Flint Hills women
at a Prairie Talk at Pioneer Bluffs near Matfield Green.
“Often the women I
interview express surprise that I am interested in learning about
their ‘ordinary’ lives,”
says Jenab. “But in taking a closer look and
sharing their stories,
it becomes clear that
they’re pretty extraordinary.”
“These women’s lives
reflect a universal pat-
tern – experiences that
all women share – but
they also live somewhere that demands
a great deal of hard,
physical work,” she continues. “In addition to
the ranch work, women
generally still prepare
the food, do the shopping, and they often
manage the books, too.”
Jenab is an adjunct
professor at Johnson
County Community
College. The daughter
of Jim and Cathy Hoy,
she grew up listening to
her father’s stories.
The strong women
of the Flint Hills have
a “passionate practicality.” Jenab says “I feel
fortunate to have the
opportunity to hear and
record these women’s
stories, and I am grateful that others want to
hear them too.”
“The Flint Hills are
a wonderful place to
be. Doesn’t make any

difference what season it is, it’s beautiful
out. That’s our home,”
says one of the women
interviewed by Jenab.
“And people come out
and they would say,
‘Well where’s these Flint
Hills?’ And I thought –
you crazy people open
your eyes you will see.”
There is no charge for
this community event,
part of the Ranching
Heritage Prairie Talk
series at Pioneer Bluffs.

accepted. For information contact Executive
