ABWA TO MEET The Emporia Charter Chapter of the American Business Women’s Association will meet on Tues- Lyon County Historical Facts Provided by Lyon County Historical Society The College Building in Hartford was originally founded as the Hartford Collegiate Institute in 1861. The Neosho Valley Educational Association elected a board for the purpose of locating and founding an institution of learning to prepare students for Baker University. The school was sponsored by the Methodist Church, and classes were first offered in October of 1863. When a schism developed between the Methodist North and Methodist South churches, it became difficult to maintain a school. Local classes met on the lower floor for a time. Once Hartford established a four-year high school, those classes met in the old college building. Over the years the building has also been used for church meetings, senior citizen dinners, Boy Scouts, and other activities. James Lusk of the Ruggles neighborhood south of the Neosho River Bridge south of Americus had to blow out candles on four cakes when he celebrated his 86th birthday in 1940. The cakes were presented by Mrs. Ross Disney, Mrs. Vol Peak of Americus, Mrs. V.W. Goodyear of Topeka, and Mrs. Frank Sloan of Newton. Lusk and his wife were married in 1876 in Iowa before coming to Kansas in 1881. Their prairie schooner was ferried across the Missouri River at Kansas City. While living in Clark County in a sod house, they experienced the last big Indian scare in Kansas and the historymaking blizzard of 1885-1886. They moved to the Ruggles neighborhood in 1897. Mrs. Lusk died just days after her husband’s birthday party. Tuesday, November 11, 2014 day, November 18, at 6:00 p.m. The meeting will be held following dinner at 1217 Presby.

Open Enrollment for Medicare Part D runs from October 15th to December 7th each year, for coverage that begins January 1st and runs the whole year. Everyone should shop their Part D plan every year. If you don’t want to make changes that is fine, but make an informed decision. There are changes to the plans every year and you don’t want any surprises come January 1st of 2015. Medicare offers prescription drug coverage to everyone with Medicare. Even if you don’t take many or any prescriptions now, you should consider joining a Medicare drug plan. If you decided not to join a Medicare drug plan when you are first eligible and you don’t have other creditable prescription drug coverage, or you don’t get Extra Help, you will pay a late enrollment penalty if you join a plan later. What does creditable coverage mean? Creditable coverage means you have other sources of drug coverage. You have coverage with a current or former employer or union, you might have coverage with the Tricare or the Veteran Affairs. If your current coverage is at least as good as the Medicare Part D plan you choose then you are considered to have creditable coverage. To get Medicare prescription drug coverage, you must join a plan run by an insurance company or other private company approved by Medicare. Each plan can vary in cost and specific drugs covered. For the 2015 Part D plans there are currently 28 plans in our area. If you currently have employer or union coverage check with your benefits administrator before you make any changes, or before you sign up for other coverage. If you drop your employer or union coverage you might not be able to get it back. Also, you may not be able to drop prescription drug coverage without dropping your health insurance (doctor and hospital coverage). Make sure you check before you make changes with your benefits administrator. You are eligible for special enrollment periods for a Medicare Part D plan if you move out of your plans service area. Generally speaking this means a permanent move to another state. If you winter in another state you want to make sure you pick a plan that has national coverage. Not all plans offer national coverage, so if you do a lot of traveling or you winter in another state keep these things in mind. Another special enrollment period would be if you lose creditable coverage like you retire mid-year of 2015. You would need to pick up coverage before the end of your creditable coverage. If you or a person you care for are a resident of a long term care facility, you are eligible to change your cover every month as your prescriptions change. If you have Medicaid or qualify for Extra Help then you also are eligible for special enrollment periods. You should shop your Medicare Part D plan every year October 15th to December 7th. If you decide to make a switch, it is easy. Your old Medicare drug plan coverage will end when your new drug plan begins which is on January 1st of the new calendar year. You will get a letter from your new Medicare Part D plan stating when your coverage starts.

They were recovered at Osage City Monday. - Thomas McLinden, an unfortunate lad with a broken arm, was soliciting aid in our town last Saturday to enable him to get to his home at Clay Center. - This point would be an excellent vocation for an elevator and feed mill. Such an institution would not only pay the proprietor but would greatly help all other branches of trade in our city. Let us take steps to secure one immediately. - Perhaps the most important event that has occurred in this city for some time was the occasion of the 21st birthday of our friend Mr. George Grimsley which occurred last Saturday. The event was celebrated in an appropriate manner with his friends from near and far. George is a jolly good fellow, aspires to be somebody, and is certainly more of a man today than he was 21 years ago.

Josh, who is the store manager of Shoe Sensation said, “I decided to volunteer because I wanted to learn how to be a good male figure in someone’s life.” Josh will be expecting a son soon and said he wanted to learn firsthand how to be a good Big Brother because he thinks it directly applies to being a good father. Josh and Tyce’s favorite memory of their match so far is when they were able to go see the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie this summer. When asked, Josh said, “I would describe my little as energetic, funny and kind.” Tyce, a 2nd grader in Emporia said his favorite things to do with his Big Brother is playing arcade games, like air hockey, and playing tetherball. Tyce described Josh as awesome, nice and funny. His favorite part about being involved in BBBSFH is getting to do fun activities with Josh.

We excavated a mug from a historic site in Mississippi and are having trouble identifying and dating it. We believe it to be ironstone with a black transfer print with what we believe to be the image of Abraham Lincoln and an unidentified man on one side and a strange game being played on the other. The phrase "We be loggerheads three" is across the top. The alphabet is molded along the rim. We are stumped! Can you tell me anything about this artifact? Thank you, K. W. Dear K. W.: This is one of the more curious requests we have received in our long career and it certainly intrigued and challenged us. Perhaps we should begin by saying this is a child's alphabet mug, or an ABC mug as it is more commonly called. These started being made in the 1820s, and production continued through the 1860s. That is not to say these alphabet wares were not made later, because they were popular once again in the late 19th century and early 20th centuries. The earliest of these were made from creamware (a whitish or cream-colored earthen- ware sometimes called "Queensware"), which was introduced in the 1740s and continued to be made well into the 19th century with production revived by Wedgwood. Most ABC plates and mugs _ the plates are far more commonly found than the mugs _ were made from ironstone, which was introduced by Mason's and was patented In July 1813 as Mason's Patent Ironstone China. Many subsequent potters tried to copy this tough and durable ware and named it such things as "Stone China," "Opaque China," and "Granite China." This ware was most popular from the 1830s through the 1890s, and we believe this mug is from the earlier portion of this time spread. But does it have anything whatsoever to do with Abraham Lincoln? We doubt it, and it would have helped us to know why K. W. thought so. The figure does indeed resemble the 16th president of the United States, but this cup is English in origin and was intended for use by a child, and we doubt a political contest would have interested most children of the day. "We be loggerheads three" probably does not refer to the election of 1860, in which there were actually four U.S. presidential contenders _ Abraham Lincoln, John Breckinridge, John Bell and Stephen Douglas (the 1864 presidential election only had two candidates, Lincoln and George McClellan). Other than turtles and tools, the term "loggerheads" refers to a blockhead or stupid person and comes from the English word "logger," a block of wood. It also means to be in a state of quarrelsome disagreement. In addition, Loggerheads is the name of a village in Denbighshire, Wales and one in Staffordshire, England. We are not sure what the actual game being played on this mug is (the contestants seem to be wielding large brushes _ so a mug fight?), but we think the caption may be (at least in part) "contest of honor." But too much is missing to be positive. In summation, this is a really nice and rare child's ironstone ABC mug from the 185060s, but we doubt that the image on the front is that of Abraham Lincoln. The value, of course, is historic rather than monetary. ___ Helaine Fendelman and Joe Rosson have written a number of books on antiques. Do you have an item you'd like to know more about?

F • Emporia Page 16 FLINT HILLS SHOPPER ENROLLMENT From PAGE 9 The Medicare Part D plan premium varies depending on which plan you choose. You need to compare the Part D plans by which plan will cover all of your prescription drugs for the year and total cost to you for the year. It is hard to compare the plans just based on the monthly premium, you really need to plug all your prescription drugs into the plan finder and see which plan is best for you based on the total cost for the year. Medicare Part D plans change their formularies each year, so just because the plan worked for you last year doesn’t mean that is will be best plan for you next year. It is so important for people to shop their plan every year. The people I have seen so far this year about half had made a change to save themselves money. The biggest savings I have seen so far this year is just over $5,000 dollars for the year, and the smallest is about $30.00. A savings is a savings, it doesn’t cost anything to shop your Medicare Part D plan. There are a couple of places you can get help is shopping your plans The Department of Aging, Doug Steuve and his crew are taking appointments call them to make an appointment. I am also taking appointments out at the Extension Office. Call me at 341-3220 to schedule your appointment between now and December 7th. We are also having a two day event at the Courthouse Annex on November 21 and 22nd. You can call the department of Aging to make an appointment for this event as well. We are taking reservations for appointments, walk ins are welcome but it is Tuesday, November 11, 2014 suggested to have an appointment. If you have questions about your Medicare Part D plan please give me a call at the Extension Office 341-3220.

Chase County Museum Messenger By Derrick Doty, Chase County Historical Museum Director The Burnley Memorial Library in Cottonwood Falls recently gifted us with some models that have been housed at the library for about as long as anyone can remember. Two of the items, a log cabin and covered wagon, are identified as having been made by the Works Progress Administration shop in Emporia. The Works Progress Administration was part of the New Deal legislation enacted by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1935. The WPA was responsible for building many pub- lic structures such as libraries, bridges and courthouses. The WPA also had projects for the arts. Murals were painted and models, such as the ones we now have on display, were made by crafters and sent to museums and libraries all over the state. The project provided employment for people and enhanced communities by preserving and promoting art, history and culture. At its peak, the WPA employed over 50,000 Kansans. In 1943 the program was brought to a close due to the war which not only took men away to fill the ranks, but also created employment for workers. Beside the cabin and wagon we also have a loom, spinning wheel and what we think is a water pump. A tag on the bottom of the loom reads ‘Loom completed/Date 12/13 No__’. So it appears the loom was made in 1913 long before the WPA and therefore has no connection with that project. The Chase County Historical Society & Museum is pleased to announce that much needed work on our electrical will soon be done thanks to a grant from the Chase County Community Fund and money from the County Building Fund. The money from the CCC Fund will complete phase one of the work which will be installation of lights and outlets in the first floor work and store room. Once complete, this will allow staff and researchers better work area for viewing, handling, photographing and processing artifacts and will ensure the safety and preservation of artifacts as well. UV filters will also be purchased to minimize damage caused by florescent lighting. Money from the County Building Fund will complete phase two which will add lighting and outlets to the second floor where it is planned in the future to have more display area. Our sincerest gratitude and thanks to both the Chase County Community Fund and the Commissioners for their assistance in making these improvements possible.
