sion are seeking public input on the Emporia Public Library’s future.

As the 2015 budget process begins, and with a look to the next

five years, the boards ask that area residents consider the current

services of the library and suggest services that should also be offered. The Library asks for help to explore what the library should be.

The survey includes two questions:

ü What other ser-vices should the library offer?

There are several ways to participate:

· Fill out a form on the EPL webpage www.emporialibrary.org

· Fill out a comment card printed in the Em-poria Gazette (March 3 to March 8) and in the Flint Hills Shopper (March 4) and send it or bring it to the li-brary at 110 E. 6th Ave. Emporia, KS 66801

· Use our comment cards in the library.

· Send us an email [email protected]

· Encourage your family, neighbors and friends to comment also.

Walk Kansas

Provided by Lyon County Histori-cal Society

Laundry employees noticed that Colonel Roosevelt had an abundance of silk shirts when they did his laun-dry in September of 1912. He wore a size 15 ½ collar and used small wooden buttons to secure the back of his collars. His suitcase full of soiled clothing included 60 shirts, 40 pairs

of socks, 40 handkerchiefs, and more than 100 collars which were detach-able from the shirts. There remained 22 collars, 10 shirts, 10 suits of underwear, and a few other articles to be sent on to Oklahoma City to be laundered. Politicians, always be aware of the fact that newspapermen are looking for stories anywhere – even at the laundry!

The October 3, 1912, first page of the Emporia Gazette waxes nos-talgic about pawpaws. According to the reporter, the first light frost had mellowed up the paw paws along the fringe of timber lining Kansas streams. Pawpaws, a fruit of the wilderness, links civilized man to his Neolithic ancestors when men ate pawpaws before they built fires,

before they polished their weapons of war. “Smell a pawpaw,” the writer urges. “Take a deep breath…Inhale the woods and the deep tangles and soft earth of the deep ravine; there comes back the picture of still green water, and cool sunny days, of the turtle on the log, of the water snake curling over the tree in the slough.”

Preserve Superinten-dent, Wendy Lauritzen, announced that Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve is in the process of prepar-ing a Large Event Plan and Environmental Assess-ment (EA).

The purpose of the doc-ument is to evaluate large event possibilities, such as the Symphony in the Flint Hills, and analyze poten-tial impacts to resources associated with these types of events. The process of defining the “large event” has only just begun. Cur-

rently, the planning team is developing alternatives that will evaluate objectives and goals related to large events and consider associated re-source impacts. Important components of the plan and EA will be to protect the preserve’s core natural and cultural resources.

To assist in this review, park staff has drafted a few criteria to spark ideas related to providing large events at the preserve. We are currently considering the following event param-eters: number of visitors,

event and parking areas, maximum duration, noise limits, permitting require-ments, and safety and other contingency plans. There are other parameters that may establish crite-ria within the process of completing this analysis, such as event location(s), frequency of occurrence, and staffing requirements. Your input will be greatly appreciated as we evaluate the criteria and potential impacts during this plan-ning process.

A key goal for the Na-

tional Park Service (NPS) is to meet the mandate of the Organic Act, which established the bureau in 1916. The Organic Act states that the NPS must “conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life [in national parks] and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such man-ner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations.” Consistent with this mandate, im-portant components of the plan and EA will be to protect the preserve’s core natural and cultural resources.

We invite you to

participate early in the environmental assessment process and the planning and development of this document. This project will be accessible to you at the following website, http://parkplanning.nps.gov/. Documents will be posted to the site as they become available.

An open house will be held on Wednesday, March 12, 2014 from 3 to 7 p.m. at the preserve’s new Visitor Center located at 2480B Ks. Hwy 177, two miles north of Strong City. Com-ments concerning this pro-cess and plan are welcome and can either be sent to the above address or to: tapr_superintendent@nps.

gov. Comment period ends March 31, 2014. We look forward to your attendance and input to this important planning process.

Tallgrass Prairie Nation-al Preserve is located two miles north of Strong City on Kansas State Highway 177 (the Flint Hills Na-tional Scenic Byway) and is a partnership between The Nature Conservancy and the National Park Service. For more informa-tion, visit the preserve’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/NPS.TallgrassPrairie , website at www.nps.gov/tapr, email [email protected], or call (620) 273-8494.

JOURNAL, FEBRUARY 10, 1905

- Last night was the time set for turning on

the electric lights in the town of Admire. A place of less than 300 indulg-ing in a luxury of this kind, and Americus four times as old and twice as large has not yet begun to think of such splendor and magnifi-cence. (copied from The

Americus greeting)- The electric lights in Admire have, so far, failed to make their appearance, which is no fault of the manage-ment as the intense cold weather has made it impossible to perform outside work.

- Owing to the severe cold weather and poor train service, the Journal editor has been un-able to secure the usual amount of news this week.- Dan Echols from north of Allen has a curiosity in the form of a snake

which he found in his big water tank that is fed by a spring. Dan is at a loss to know how the reptile got into the tank, as it was appar-ently dead when dis-covered. After it was taken to the house and thawed out, it was as

active as any snake in the good old summer-time. Dan has preserved the snake and will use it for illustrative purposes when lecturing someone on temperance subjects (drinking alcohol).

Dear Helaine and Joe:These candlesticks

are marked on one foot with a number in a rect-angle and a # symbol. The dangles are glass

and are attached to the candlesticks with thin wires. There are four sections to the candle-sticks connected with a long screw down the

interior, which is hol-low. They look cast and weigh about 3 pounds each. They were a mov-ing gift from a friend who liked to go antiqu-

ing. We have moved several times since; should I keep them moving with us? Mah-alo for any information you can pass my way.

Thanks,D.C., HonoluluDear D.C.:Mahalo (thank you,

hello, goodbye in Ha-waiian) right back at you, because we believe this is the first letter we have ever received from the lovely Hawaiian Islands.

Last week, we dis-cussed the art of re-searching and identi-fying an antique and suggested that the Internet can be frustrat-ing and unreliable and suggested that when all else fails, books and trained librarians may be the answer. In this case, however, no book will guide you and the Internet may be the only way to go _ not for info on when these candlesticks were made or where, but how much they might be worth today.

Our knowing about these candlesticks is based on the fact that we are “geezers” _ old folks who actu-ally remember when these were new. One of us _ Joe to be more precise _ recalls a very

They came in a variety of sizes _ many with matching centerpieces and/or fruit bowls _ and they all had this Conti-nental European rococo style with the same drop prisms.

the 1960’s or a tad later. In collecting, items from the mid-century are hot right now and items from the 1960’s are part of this collect-ing trend. Does this apply to these candlesticks? Sadly, no.

What collectors want right now is “mid-century” mod-

ern, and from the 60’s they want the characteristic “mod” and “psychedelic” pieces that are so characteristic of the time period. These candle-sticks are imitative of an 18th century French style called “rococo,” which is character-ized by depictions of rocks, shells, fruit, flowers, “C” scrolls, ribbons, acanthus leaves and curved lines.

This pair of candlesticks

has “C” scrolls, leaves and flower representations, and the candle cups are supposed to represent stylized flower buds. But because they pay tribute to the 18th century, they are not of much interest to collectors who are looking for “mid-century” modern because they are just not to their taste.

Usually, we see the place of origin for candlesticks such

as these listed as “Italy,” but we are not entirely sure of this. They may be American because they are not marked with the country of origin (of course, they could have had an easily removed paper label saying “Made In Italy.”

For insurance purposes (retail) this pair of candle-sticks should be valued in the $60 to $85 range.
