BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO APRIL 13-19, 1934 n An intensive drive by members of the Christian Church in Monett this week to raise $1,500, the amount of indebtedness on the church, resulted in raising $1,502 in pledges and cash. To celebrate the paying of the church debt in full, a church homecoming will be held on Aug. 26. Ground for the church was broken in April 1924. n Miss Elizabeth Logan, 500 Euclid, heard a noise on her latticed porch and discovered a man hastily emptying the ice box of its contents. Miss Logan ordered him to leave, and the man started to take hold of her. She calmly grabbed an empty milk bottle and struck him on the head. The man left in a hurry, in the midst of shattering glass, with blood streaming down his face. SEVENTY YEARS AGO APRIL 13-19, 1944 n There was standing room only at Monett High School auditorium for the senior class play “The Cat and the Canary,” a Broadway mystery drama with an ample dash of comedy. Floyd Stewart, the man with 1,001 ideas, engineered the entire play and is in large measure responsible for its outstanding success. n Kenley Richardson, coach of Strafford High School, was named on April 17 as coach of Monett High School. A former Monettan with nine years of coaching experience, Richardson led a Strafford basketball team that won 90 percent of its games over two
This week In 1954, 10 Monett High School girls prepared to compete the next week’s pancake race, in which they would patter along on foot while flipping a pancake in a skillet.

Racers, from left, are: Shirlene Garoutte, Ella Gibson, Patsy Cox, Janice Hall, Carol Ann Lacky, Maxine Long, Marijean Murphy, Lois Klingsporn, Barbara McShane and Joan Wellman.

Rebuilt after the 1923 fire with 15 stalls, down from the original 21, the roundhouse continued to be of top importance to the Monett Frisco operations. Part of the old building will be hauled to Springfleld. n Crewmen of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company installed the first dial telephone in Monett in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kirby, 809 Ninth St. Officials said the dial will be useless until the full dial equipment has been installed, probably in the spring of 1955. FIFTY YEARS AGO APRIL 13-19, 1964 n Some 500 prospective buyers from 21 states
attended the auction on April 16 of large and small equipment formerly used by the Gillioz Construction Company of Monett, as part of liquidation of the company. Many bulldozers, cranes, rock crushers, graders and other mammoth machines were scheduled for sale. n Ribbon cutting ceremonies were held for the grand opening of the new Mode O’Day store at 413 E. Broadway, one of more than 750 Mode O’Day stores through the country featuring a full line of ladies ready-to-wear apparel. Mrs Elsie Jaques Stivers is the owner. FORTY YEARS AGO APRIL 13-19, 1974 n The annual Barry County Heart Fund Drive raised $4,490.97, a record amount, collected to date. The total represents an increase of nearly $900 over last year’s record drive. n The Monett High
School students present the Broadway musical “You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown” at the new Monett High School Auditorium, with different casts for each of the two acts. It will be the first musical presented in years at the school. THIRTY YEARS AGO APRIL 13-19, 1984 n Friends of Jolly Mill Park, organized to support and guide the development and operation of the Jolly Mill Park, has been formed, with a membership drive underway. Any person interested in participating in the restoration of the mill, built in 1848 with slave labor, is invited to become a member of the organization. n Nine Thermobroke windows with solar bronze tinted glass, supplied by EFCO Corporation of Monett, have replaced former pane windows on the First
National Mercantile Bank in Monett. The remaining windows will be closed and covered with the pressed stone material in a rose beige tone on the entire exterior. TWENTY YEARS AGO APRIL 13, 19, 1994 n Dr. M. Merrill Stevens, new commander of Company C, 203rd Engineering Battalion of the Missouri National Guard in Monett and Pierce City, stressed the importance of community support for keeping the local armory open. Stevens is the first female commander for the company. n Production is underway at Tyson Foods’ new hatchery in Monett. Carrol Snyder, complex
manager, said the hatchery is presently running at about 35 percent capacity. Full production is expected by December. TEN YEARS AGO APRIL 13-19, 2004 n The Monett High School Band, under director Craig Smith, left on April 14 to play in the Walt Disney World Magic Music Days Festival. The symphonic band received a I rating at the recent state music contest for large bands. n To make improvements at Verona High School, members of the Tillers ‘n’ Toilers Garden Club and the Verona Lions Club jointly financed a new marquee for the school, completed during the winter.

MURRAY’S TOP PICKS FOR THE WEEK
1
Major symphony orchestras in Missouri and Oklahoma all perform this weekend. The closest concert to Monett will be the Springfield Symphony, playing at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts. Works include Eastern European masterpieces, with Dvorak’s Cello Concerto with Hellam competition winner Matthew Allen as soloist, Shostakovich’s Symphony #1 and Glinka’s “Russlan and Ludmilla” overture.

For information and out of this world commentary, there’s nothing like the 27th annual UFO Conference at the Best Western Inn of the Ozarks Convention Center in Eureka Springs. Speakers include founder Haktan Akdogan with news on the latest sightings, investigator Dolores Cannon, ancient structures expert Linda Moulton Howe, Nick Pope on real X-files and more. Speakers begin at 11:30 a.m. Friday, 9:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday.
2
The “Piano Man,” Billy Joel, performs at 8 p.m. on Friday at the Scottrade Center, 1401 Clark Ave. Comparable to an arena show for its size, the Scottrade Center may be a huge facility without much chance of contact, but it’s a rare chance to see Joel outside of the New York City area. Joel runs through his hits from the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s in a floor-stomping sing-along atmosphere.
Murray Bishoff is a veteran theatergoer, traveling weekends to many of the venues within driving distance, from Tulsa to St. Louis. From dance recitals to operas, he’s been there and shares his recommendations.

the kids clothing. This will remain The Trunk. We’ll carry custom baby wear and personalized items.” The business started as a “gift that kept on giving,” according to Crim. “I got my husband skydiving tickets for our first Christmas,” she said. “He said there were no good skydiving shirts to be found. So we got this machine and he started making skydiving shirts.” That business, like many other endeavors, started in the about four years ago in the couple’s garage. “We moved to a building in Aurora, and then to another one when we outgrew it,” Crim said. “We then expanded to Monett. “I’m from Monett. I’ve been wanting to move here for a while. This is my hometown.” Last year, Crim’s husband, Greg,

designed and printed three-dimensional shirts for June Jam, a nighttime softball tournament. “We’re pumped about it. We’re anxious to see how it goes over.” “Last year, he’s designed a glow-inthe-dark shirt,” she said. “People over it. We sold a ton.” The couple specializes in making event shirts onsite, often designing them on the fly. “Kids want something they can wear to school the next day,” Crim said. “They don’t want to have it shipped.” With the machinery they have available, Crim said it’s typical to produce 100 shirts in about an hour. “We take samples of shirts with us to tournaments,” she said. “It gets crazy busy when we go to these events.”
The couple enjoys summertime events and the hustle and bustle of back-to-school. “People come from all over and have never seen on-site, immediate service,” Crim said. “We did a swim meet at the YMCA earlier this year and a lot of teams did not have team shirts. They were able to have them designed, printed and take them home the same day. They were really excited.” The store will continue its line of children’s clothing and accessories as well. “You should see the look on grandmas’ faces when they come in and get onesies custom made,” Crim said. A new service the business will offer is a Kids Photo Day, featuring Easter, July 4th, Superheroes and Back to
School package specials. “We have capes made in black and gold for Batman, red and blue for Spiderman, and pink and black for girls,” Crim said. “We’ll go to the alley in back of the store for the photos. It will be a lot of fun.” The store carries all shirts, jackets and sweatpants with local school spirit colors in stock, along with tumblers, hats, hair accessories, lanyards and bags. The Trunk and Adrenaline Apparel and Design is open from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.

LINES MATTER TO EVERYONE.
ESPECIALLY TRANSMISSION LINES.
Reliable power is more than just a convenience - it’s important to the safety and well-being of our families and communities. The independent Ozark Transmission Study determined that overloaded power lines could result in problems and that a strong new electric transmission line is needed to serve Northwest Arkansas and Southwest Missouri. American Electric Power and its subsidiary Southwestern Electric Power Company were directed to strengthen the electric grid. These upgrades will benefit the region by improving reliability and efficiencies and thereby reducing energy costs.
To learn more about this transmission project, visit our website at AEPtransmission.com/Ozarks.
We’re committed to building this reliability project by carefully balancing the energy needs of residents and businesses with protecting the environment and natural beauty of the area.

Man is patient as independent woman struggles with intimacy DEAR ABBY: I’m a 27-year-old woman who has never had a boyfriend or been kissed. I was never interested in romance or having a significant other. I felt strong being independent and taking care of myself. Now that I have a degree, a career and a house, I feel ready to try to let a man into my life. I met a really nice guy a month ago. “Brian” and I have gone out several times and have a lot in common. He’s a gentleman, and he says he’s willing to wait for me. I have been having a difficult time letting myself be physical with him. Even hugging is uncomfortable for me. I know it’s because I have been a shy loner my whole life and I’m unaccustomed to being close to people. Even though Brian says he’ll be patient, I can sense his frustration. Physical closeness should come easily if you like and are attracted to someone. I feel abnormal. I don’t know if I’ll be this way forever or get more comfortable the more I know him. I’m afraid Brian— and most men—won’t be willing to wait that long. I’m afraid if I don’t move faster I’ll lose a great guy and never get another chance. What do you think?—BLOCKED IN BOISE
JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY DEAR BLOCKED: Being intimate with someone because you’re afraid you’ll lose him or it will be your last chance is the wrong reason. I think that the sooner you talk with a licensed therapist about your lifelong shyness and discomfort, the quicker you can understand the reasons for it and overcome it. Your doctor should be able to refer you to someone. If Brian is the right man for you, he will stand by you. But if he doesn’t, you’ll be able to more easily relate to someone else. DEAR ABBY: I am planning my wedding in the fall. My fiance and I are paying for the wedding and reception. I have worked at my job for a year, and I haven’t always been treated well by a few co-workers. I am reluctant to invite these people because I’m worried about the repercussions if I do. I know they will judge every aspect because they did it to another co-worker. I like a few of the
people I work with, but I don’t know if I can invite only them. What do I do?—WEDDING PLANNER IN OMAHA

DEAR WEDDING PLANNER: What you do is invite only those people you truly want to attend your wedding. It’s not necessary to apologize for it or to explain why. If you are put on the spot and feel you must give a reason, say that your guest list is limited because of financial constraints. It’s far more tactful than saying they are being excluded because they are rude, awful people, and you don’t want them anywhere near you on such an important occasion.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Amazon is making a bid to enter living rooms with Amazon Fire TV, a new streaming device that delivers online video, music and other content to televisions. The company says the $99 device has better speed, performance and
search functions than other streaming boxes such as Apple TV and Google Chromecast. But Amazon is coming late to the streaming device game, and it remains to be seen whether the company is offering enough new and better services to lure customers away from their current
streaming methods. Amazon created buzz about the device last week when it sent an invitation to the media hinting about an update to its video service. It debuted the box at Milk Studios in New York to about 200 media members, offering movie snacks like popcorn and Milk Duds.

Cobain remembered 20 years after his death BY CHRIS TALBOTT AP Music Writer
Kurt Cobain changed Win Butler’s world. Billie Joe Armstrong thought the Nirvana frontman was his generation’s John Lennon and Paul McCartney. And Beck thinks he owes a debt of gratitude to the singer-guitarist for opening the world’s ears to a thriving, but little-heard underground scene. It’s been two decades since Cobain took his own life on April 5, 1994, at age 27, yet he remains an important cultural touchstone for those he influenced and entertained in his short-lived career. The Associated Press spoke with a handful of musicians about their memories of Cobain as the anniversary of his suicide approached. Some knew him, some watched him from afar. All were touched in some way profound and unforgettable. Beck experienced Nirvana long before everyone else. He ran into the band three years before Nirvana’s “Nevermind” changed pop music. He had never heard of the band, the opening act on a three-band bill,
the top draws now lost to memory. “I have a memory of them coming out and he had his middle finger up, was giving his middle finger to the audience,” he said. “ ... I’d seen a lot of punk shows and I’d seen a lot of bands when I was younger where the shows were pretty aggressive or confrontational, but there was something completely different about this. I remember he had a smile on his face, there was a kind of playfulness, but it was also a little menacing, and I remember the minute they started playing, the entire audience erupted in a way I hadn’t seen before.” Everything that would make the band popular when “Smells Like Teen Spirit” ripped the fabric of pop music was already there. “And I can tell you, any situation I’ve been in and many of my peers I’ve seen coming up, playing for audiences who’ve never heard of you, you don’t get people’s attention at all,” he said. “Usually they’re talking or going to the bathroom in those kinds of situations, but they had the audience from the first note. Even
if they had never become successful, I would still remember that. It made a big impression. I remember at the time thinking, ‘What is this? Something’s going on here,’ and I was a fan after that.” Billie Joe Armstrong remembers being out on Green Day’s first tour in 1990 and encountering the band’s graffiti in a string of tiny clubs out West. He’d heard of Nirvana through its Sub Pop releases, including its debut album, “Bleach,” but thought little of it at the time. A year later, Nirvana was known throughout the world. Cobain became something of a tortured poet laureate, a figure Armstrong thinks was as important for his generation as Lennon and McCartney were to theirs. “You know, the guy just wrote beautiful songs,” Armstrong said. “When someone goes that honestly straight to the core of who they are, what they’re feeling, and was able to kind of put it out there, I don’t know, man, it’s amazing. I remember hearing it when ‘Nevermind’ came out and just thinking, we’ve finally
got our Beatles, this era finally got our Beatles, and ever since then it’s never happened again. That’s what’s interesting. I was always thinking maybe the next 10 years. OK, maybe the next 10 years, OK, maybe. ... That was truly the last rock ‘n’ roll revolution.” Like Armstrong, Win Butler was moved when he first heard “Nevermind” in 1991. So was everyone in the Arcade Fire frontman’s world growing up in Texas. “All the sudden the whole kind of social dynamic at my junior high changed where these kind of misfit kids who maybe come from a broken home and they’re smoking cigarettes in the back and they didn’t have money for nice clothes, all the sudden those kids socially were in a weird way on the same level as everyone else,” Butler said. “I was sort of like a weird kid who didn’t know where I fit in or whatever and just to have that kind of voice be that big in culture, I feel like that was a magical period of alternative music where we had Jane’s Addiction and R.E.M. and Nirvana,
it was like seeing these kind of freaks from all the different cities of North America and you’re like, oh wow.” Butler still takes cues from Cobain and Nirvana. After winning the 2010 Grammy Award for album of the year, Butler and his band delivered a completely unexpected follow-up album last year that ignored the lure of pop possibilities — much like Nirvana did when it recorded the band’s final album, the polarizing “In Utero,” in 1993. “Imagine Nirvana having the biggest record in the world and spending nine days and coming back with this super-raw album with pretty acoustic songs and crazy metal songs,” Butler said. “I don’t know, just artistically ‘In Utero’ was a constant source of inspiration. It stands the test of time so well, and ‘All Apologies’ is one of the most beautiful songs ever written, I think.” Cobain enjoyed a kind of feedback loop with those he admired, and got the attention of Neil Young — a major touchstone for the grunge movement — before his
death. Young has often chafed under the requirements of fame as well, and understands some of what Cobain was experiencing. The singer-songwriter was so moved by Cobain’s death, he recorded the album “Sleeps With Angels,” and still wonders what might have happened if he had been able to talk to Cobain before he died. “Well, you know, it’s a hard thing to deal with,” Young said. “I guess Kurt felt too much. I think it’s sad that he didn’t have anybody to talk to that could’ve talked to him and said, ‘I know what you’re going through, but it’s not too bad. It really isn’t bad. Just (expletive) blink and it will be gone. Everything will be all right. You’ve got a lot of other things to do. Why don’t you just take a break? Don’t worry about all these (expletive) who want you to do all this (expletive) you don’t want to do. Just stop doing everything. Tell them to get (expletive) and stay away.’ That’s it. That’s what I would have told him if I had the chance. And I almost got a chance, but it didn’t happen.”
