This annual affair has proven its worth as it helps prepare children to enter school in a better state of health, and thus shield the entire school group from all illness. Facts show children of any given age have approximately the same number of physical defects today as did children examined 10 or 20 years ago.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO APRIL 26-MAY 2, 1945 • With a total quota of $250,000 in war bond purchases for the seventh War Loan Drive in the city of Monett, representatives of Monett’s women’s organizations started a house to house solicitation on May 1 to help the city reach its goal by the date of the official opening of the drive on May 14.

• Open house was held on May 1 for the new $68,000 R-6 grade school building at Pierce City, climaxing dedication services for the building completed at the first of this year. The building cost $6.50 per square foot to build, most costing $10 a square foot and up.

FIFTY YEARS AGO APRIL 26,MAY 2, 1965 • Monett High School sophomore Pete Rauch heaved the discus a record 146 feet, 6 inches, bettering the Big 10 mark of 42 feet, 7 inches set by Monett’s Gaylen McCubbin in 1961.

Rauch helped the Cubs to place sixth at the Big 10 Conference track meet, held at Southwest Missouri State College.

• A new archery range, completed this spring by the Monett Lost Arrow Archers Club, was the site of an invitational tournament on May 2, attended by 80 archers from throughout the district.

The range in located one and a half miles south of the Pleasant Dale School.

More than 50 library trustees from across the state visited Monett as part of a southwest tour on April 26, 1955.

Of particular interest was an exhibit of book covers by Monett authors and sisters Ida Mills Wilhelm and Nellie Mills. Shown in the library’s display area, from left, are: Harold Schuchman, president of the Monett Chamber of Commerce; Mrs. P.N. Cook, president of the Monett Library Board, holding Mrs. Wilhelm’s novel “Not Without Honor;” Paxton Price, state librarian; Mrs. Ervin Floreth of Monett, the Lawrence-Barry counties librarian; Mayor L.G.

Four large truckloads had been gathered by the end of the week.

• The Monett Jaycees presented awards for the year at the club’s annual installation banquet. Gary Henson was named Key Man of the Year. Outgoing president George Patton was named Jaycee of the Year. Mrs. Barbara Henson was Jaycee Wife of the Year and Steve Wise received the Brownfield

Award, giving by the president to the outstanding first year member.

THIRTY YEARS AGO APRIL 26-MAY 2, 1985 • Monett physician Dr. W.R. Rooney has been selected to serve on the state Committee of Aging next year. The Missouri Chapter of the Academy of Family Practice Committee of Aging, part of a nationwide committee, was created to review and make recommendations for family practice physicians addressing problems of aging and care of the aged. Dr. Rooney began practicing here last August.

• Dedication services were scheduled for May 5 at the Fundamental Methodist Church in Monett in recognition of the completion of an expansion project. The addition to the church at 13th and Park doubled

cer killed in the line of duty in 1892.

TEN YEARS AGO APRIL 26-MAY 2, 2005 • Monett’s skate park is coming back. Closed earlier this year in a state of disrepair, the facility at North Park had fallen through the cracks of management. Jim Morris, a parent and employee at Miracle Recreation Equipment, has stepped forward to help.

Healthy Kids Day kicks off a summer o’ fun at YMCA Sign-ups still being accepted for summer youth programs

t is a parent’s most frequently heard refrain, “I’m bored — there’s nothing to do.”

But, the Monett Area YMCA has the answer for that complaint with a variety of programs and activities sure to keep children of all ages busy and occupied during the long, hot days of summer.

Healthy Kids Day, set for 6-9 p.m.

Friday, kicks off a season of youth pro-

grams at the Monett Area YMCA. The event will feature swimming, inflatables, rock wall climbing and give-aways at the facility, located on Highway 37 just south of Highway 60 in Monett.

“We will also offer roller skating at a cost of $3 for members and $6 for non-members, and that includes skate rental,” said Gordon Brown, director.

“The event is free and open to the public.”

Sign-ups for Summer Day Camps are also underway for students in kindergarten through sixth grades.

The Rangers, designed for youth in kindergarten through third grades, will provide age-appropriate activities, including field trips to area attractions.

Challengers, for youth in grades four

through six, offers more challenging adventures, including weekly activities such as a canoe trip, go karts or horseback riding.

Day camps begin May 26 and continue through Aug. 7.

“Parents can sign their kids up for the entire summer or for a week at a time,” Brown said. “Children are supervised through the activities in a safe, secure environment.”

Drop-off for day campers is between 7-8:30 a.m., and children may be picked up between 5-5:45 p.m.

“Financial assistance is available for all our programs,” Brown said.

Swim lessons start June 15 at the YMCA. Participants can be enrolled in one of four two-week sessions, and the CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

What do you get when you drop Mentos into a bottle of root beer, a soda fountain, of course. Youth at Camp Wakonda enthusiastically tried the experiment for themselves to see how high the carbonated beverage would soar once the chemical reaction between the mints and soda reacted.

Resentment is the thanks mom gets for helping son’s family D EAR ABBY: My son, “Rick,” and daughter-in-law, “Amy,” seem to really dislike me. I try to be kind and not pry, but they live with me and it can make for a full house. They have had job difficulties and work injuries that brought them back to my home.

Her parents don’t care for my son, so living there was not an option.

Amy does not help at all with the housework. Rick does most of it. They also have a wonderful 21-month-old boy. A second baby is on the way. They have lived with me for four years now.

Abby, Amy shows no respect for my home or for me. I mostly keep quiet so as to not push away my only son. I want to be part of my grandson’s life.

Please advise me on handling this matter.— UNDERVALUED OUT WEST

DEAR UNDERVALUED: By allowing your son and daughter-in-law to live with you for such an extended period of time, you have fostered their dependence on you. That may be why your daughter-in-law is resentful rather than grateful for

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY your generosity in giving them a roof over their heads.

That they would conceive a second child under these circumstances—without jobs and no place of their own—tells me they are immature and irresponsible. Give them a date to be out—say one month—and stick to it. If they want to know why, tell them the truth. You should not have to live in a house with a daughterin-law who treats you like the enemy because it is not healthy for any of you.

If you are afraid the only way to have a relationship with your grandchildren is to tolerate being used, I think you are mistaken. As long as you can provide material assistance to these two, they’ll keep you around.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married for almost 31

years. We have had a good marriage, but for the last couple of years, my husband has told me that I snore when we go to sleep at night.

He is a very light sleeper, and understandably, it wakes him and then he wakes me to make me stop. This goes on all night long.

Needless to say, neither of us is happy in the morning. We have now started sleeping in separate rooms.

The issue I am having now is, my husband will be retiring in a few months and he wants us to do a lot of traveling, mainly cruising. I’m not sure how this will work with our new sleeping arrangement.—SLEEPY IN ALABAMA DEAR SLEEPY: Have you discussed your snoring with your physician? Snoring can be a symptom of a medical

problem that’s fixable.

When your husband first told you about it, you should have mentioned it to your doctor. Ear plugs might help your husband, but if there is a medical solution for your snoring, it would make your problem moot.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
