The Russell Antique and Collectors Club Time Capsule committee is working with the Prairiesta committee to prepare the 2011 time capsule. The time capsule will be buried after the opening activities of Prairiesta. The time capsule will not be opened again until 2061. The committee is seeking Prairiesta memorabilia, photographs and documents for the capsule as well as a summary of the area’s progress during the last 10 years. The public is invited to contribute items of interest. The deadline for submissions is May 31. The time capsule tradition began in 1961 with the time capsule being buried at the close of each 10year Prairiesta celebration. This year the capsule will be buried as a part of opening ceremonies. The 2011 capsule will be constructed of stainless steel and will be vacuum sealed in hopes of better preserving the contents. Anyone wishing to contribute an item to be included in the capsule should: • Limit the size of the item to 6 inches by 20 inches. • The fee for including an item is $2. • Use acid free paper available at craft stores. (Research has shown that letters, documents and other paper items survive much longer if they are printed on acid free paper.) • Articles submitted by children and schools are free. If an item, document or picture is too large for a business-size envelope, then larger acid free containers may be needed. As a suggestion, families with a large number of family members living in the area might want to place family information,
summaries of activities and reunions and a list of family members in the capsule as a record for the next generation. Churches, clubs and organizations might want to include organizational histories, list of current activities and projects, and current member rosters. School classrooms and classes are invited to compose a message for the classrooms of 2061 to be included in the capsule. As a reminder, unless medical science makes giant strides on prolonging longevity during the next 50 years, few people beyond the present age of 40 will be around to witness the opening of the 2061 capsule. Research has shown that using acid free paper, documents written in soft lead pencils survive longer than those written in ink. Typewritten documents survive fairly well. Prairiesta headquarters is the Russell Area Chamber of Commerce, Vicki Frohling, director. The office is located in the UMB Building at 507 N. Main, Russell The address is P.O. Box 58, Russell, KS 67665. Frohling can also be contacted at 785483-6960, 800-658-.4686 or (via fax) 785483-4535, or by e-mail at vicki@russellchamber.com. The Time Capsule headquarters is D. Palma & Co. Mercantile, 626 N Main, Russell. The contact persons are Clair Fisher at 785-483-5837 or D. Palma at 785-3426553.

3 Pelton wins Russell County Bee Hometown EDGE March 2011
Now, she sets sights on state contest in Great Bend BY DALE HOGG editor@hometownedge.com
Sarah Pelton
Sarah Pelton, a sixth grader at Natoma Elementary School, is the Russell County Spelling Bee champion. She is the daughter of Chris and Susan Pelton of Paradise. By winning the bee, Pelton qualified for the statewide Great Bend Tribune’s Sunflower Spelling Bee set for Saturday, March 12, in the Barton Community College Fine Arts Auditorium. The winner of the Sunflower Bee goes on to compete in the Scripps National Bee held in Washington, D.C., in June.
Pelton was one of 28 fifth through eighth graders from the Russell and ParadiseNatoma school districts who qualified for the county contest, held Wednesday, Feb. 19 at Ruppenthal Middle School in Russell, said Nick Coady, coordinator of the county bee. However, due to illness, only 26 competed. This number, which represents four students from each grade level, is about normal, Coady said. “Spelling is my favorite subject,” a wellspoken Pelton said from her sixth-grade classroom recently. But, this was her first year to take part in the bee.
She won on the word “plaque.” Grade-level contests determined the top four in each class. Pelton said she and fellow winners went over the lists of words out in the hallway. “It was a lot of studying.” “We’re very happy for her,” said Corinne Masters, Pelton’s teacher. “We hope she does well at regionals.” As for the Great Bend contest, Pelton says she ready. However, she admitted to being a little nervous. Masters said this is the second year in a row for a student from Paradise who attends NES to qualify for the state bee. Last year, it was Breanna Eulert, an eighth grader.

Prairiesta Parade entries wanted
Volunteers Bonnie Fisher and LuAnn Walters
A shop on a mission
The 2011 Russell Prairiesta, an event that takes place every 10 years to celebrate the community’s founding 140 years ago, is set for June 9-12. Carl Radke of Milberger won the theme contest with “Windmills to Wind Power” and Nadine Ward of Wichita was the winner of the 2011 Prairiesta Logo Contest. The four-day event includes all sorts of entertainment, games, contests and special activities, with one of the highlights being the Prairiesta Parade. And, in order to make this parade as big and successful as possible, organizers are seeking as many entries as they can get. To help facilitate this, the entry form for the parade is printed below. All the contact information is included. The chairpersons for this Prairiesta are Patty and Jerry Driscoll. The Driscolls said Prairiesta keeps the memories of A. E. Mathews, the first set-
tler of Russell County; John C. Freemont, with the Butterfield Overland Dispatch; Benjamin Pratt, president of the Ripon colony; Mother Bickerdyke, early educator in Russell County; The Lucky Seven, responsible for sparking the oil explosion in western Kansas; and Senator Bob Dole, a Russell native recognized as one of America’s political figures; in the forefront of our minds. Prairiesta is a lot of things – from memories to revelry. It is the end result of months of planning, preparation and hard work on the part of hundreds of volunteers in an effort to recreate the past. It is singing and dancing, visiting and reminiscing, demonstration and observing and just plain fun. “Most importantly, Prairiesta is the opportunity for the citizens of Russell and Russell County to pay tribute to the courageous forefathers, both living and dead, who founded and built the progressive community of Russell,” they said.
Trinity Thrift Store serves Russell, needs you STORY AND PHOTOS BY LUCY MILLER Special to the Edge
T
he Trinity Thrift Store is a community mission. Started 54 years ago by the Methodist women, and maintained by Trinity Methodist Church, it is intended to be for the entire community of Russell, and the surrounding area. The funds that are derived from sales are poured into the Russell Food Pantry, and other local community missions. Shop The place to be in Russell on Thursday morning at 9 a.m. is the Trinity Thrift Store. It is located between 13th and 14th streets on North Kansas Street. Don’t let the church-like architecture fool you. This building now houses a thriving, fun, community-oriented thrift store. Parking is on the east side and a line will be forming in anticipation of the door opening. The Thrift Store is open Thursday 9 a.m. - 5 p.m., Friday 1-5 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m., but Thursday morning is first chance to see all that the volunteers have put out during the time the store is closed. Stock is constantly being refreshed, so you won’t miss out whenever you can get there. Come any time that the store is open, and enjoy the clean, well lighted, well stocked shopping area. You will find clothes, household goods, knickknacks, bedding, toys galore, jewelry, books, and just about any item that you might think you would want – many you didn’t know you needed until you see them. Books are a special favorite. Lyndel Adams takes pride in keeping the book area in order. Books are shelved by type and author. Every week an author is featured by pricing his/her books at 15 cents. Clothes are priced so that every child can have a wardrobe to be proud of. Adults can find what they need too, and be proud to wear. Many people in Russell who have hit hard times and needed a new start will tell you about the generosity of the Thrift Store. When there is a need, there is help. Even those who don’t feel compelled to save will enjoy the treasure hunting. Prices are laughably low. The idea of this store is to bring things in, price them low, and get them out quickly to the next person. This is the ultimate recycling system. The profit is made on volume. Items that cannot be moved are often put in the entry way and marked “free.” There are always sales ... some advertised, some not. A favorite is the bag special when you can buy a bag full for $2. Come shop, and tell your friends. Regular customers look forward to seeing each other and comparing treasure finds. The staff is always ready to answer

questions and help you find what you want. Donate Look around inside and you will see the sort of items that are needed. You will be surprised by the variety. Clean out your excess, bag it up and bring it to the east side of the store. There is a 24-hour enclosure to receive things you want to donate. Please do think a bit about whether what you are donating is useable. It costs money for the store to haul away what you might have known was trash before you brought it. Just give it a quick look! There are also a few things that cannot be accepted because of legal restrictions or lack of storage space. If you are in doubt, ask. Some rules If there is an overload of some item, such as clothes, the excess will be given to Goodwill so it can reach a broader market. Very little is thrown away. Volunteer The Thrift Store is run by
a core of about twelve regular staff – all unpaid – and an ever-changing and never large enough staff of volunteers. They need YOU! There are no special skills required, although if you have them, let people know what you can do. Come to work any time you see that someone is there working – check the parking lot. Stay as long as you can, and come back often. You will find the work easy, the company interesting, your help appreciated, and perhaps best of all, volunteers are allowed to have first chance to buy what they see coming in. The price will be set, and full price paid, but sometimes first dibs is important! Cash donations are always welcome. The current top item on the wish list is to get a sidewalk installed between the donations door and the trash bin. It’s a realistic need. Did you ever try to roll a loaded grocery cart through gravel? Can you help?

Pictured is the exterior of the Bowl Plaza in Lucas. When completed, the walls will be covered in mosaics and a toilet-seat-shaped sitting area will extend from the front.
A ROYAL FLUSH
STORY AND PHOTOS BY DALE HOGG editor@hometownedge.com
L
UCAS – This may sound like a strange thing to say about a public restroom, but here it goes. “It will definitely be worth driving off of the interstate to see.� That’s how Rosslyn Schultz, director of the Grassroots Arts Center in Lucas, describes the ongoing Bowl Plaza project in this small, artsy Russell County community. When completed, it will feature mosaic-laden walls in and on a toilet tank-shaped building with a toilet-seatshaped seating area extending out in the front. “It’s eccentric,� Schultz said of the effort. “But, people (in Lucas) are starting to think that’s normal.� But, no matter how cool the plaza is, “we are coming to the end of our funding,� Schultz said. The estimated cost is $43,000. There is no deadline to complete the facilities, but they hope to have the inside ready by fall. “We’re going to auction off the first flush sometime in 2011,� Schultz said. In addition to the actual, physical flush, they will sell rights to a “virtual flush.� Why a bathroom? More importantly, why a bathroom/art installation? “We have a lot of tourists,� Schultz said. Now, these weary travelers must find bladder relief wherever they can. “We needed public restrooms.� So, with Lucas being the state epicenter for quirky, folk art, the idea flourished and evolved into something much bigger that a couple port-a-potties. “We have this (art) all over town,� she said. They applied for and got a Arts in Communities Grant through the Kansas Arts Commission. But that only went so far. They’ve applied for other grants, but they are not flush with cash and are still about $10,000 short. A host of local artists and artisans, along with an army of volunteers of all ages, are making sure the idea doesn’t swirl away down the drain. “They’re pretty amazing,� Schultz said. The Kohler Company Foundation donated the plumbing fixtures. There have also been other monetary, material and in-kind contributions. The City of Lucas has even kicked in some money. The mosaics feature

ground shards of broken glass, china, ceramic items and cologne bottles. There are also old license plates, hub caps, dishes and cups, pottery, reflectors and mirrors. These have to be sorted by color and washed,
and the sharp edges removed. These and the other bits and pieces of the project are scattered in garages, workshops and art studios all over this town of about 430 people. The men’s room will feature an automotive theme and the women’s room will have a more feminine look. In the center of the outdoor seating will be a relief sculpture with items that are accidentally flushed down a toilet – cell phones, small animals, watches, pocket knives and Super Bowl tickets.
