Back in the Good Old Days EIGHTY YEARS AGO May 1-7, 1936 • The Monett Red Birds were defeated 7-1 by the classy Kansas City Monarchs at an exhibition game held in Monett. The Monarchs, of the National Colored League, thrilled the large crowd with many beautiful running catches. Edward P. Smith, 18, the lanky Monett pitcher from Springfield, allowed nine hits in seven and two-thirds innings. • Outstanding in girlish beauty, winsome Bernice Wormington was selected from a bevy of 22 beautiful girls in Pierce City’s Ozark Smile Girl contest on May 4 at the Strand Theatre. SEVENTY YEARS AGO May 1-7, 1946 • The Missouri Farmers Association is launching a financial campaign in Monett and southwestern Missouri to raise funds to build its new milk plant here. It will take $1,216,000 to build the plant, buy equipment and furnish working capital. • Brigadier General William A. Raupp, 77, died at his home in Pierce City on May 4. General Raupp was well known throughout the state and once served as adjutant general of Missouri. He was also commanding general of the Missouri National Guard from 1921 to 1932. He started his career as a drummer boy in the old Second Missouri Infantry. SIXTY YEARS AGO May 1-7, 1956 • With the new gymnasium now under construction at Monett High School, Principal Wayne Wright detailed plans for a larger physical education program next year,

the best in the history of the school. Plans call for five sections of girls physical education during the week and four for the boys. • Kansas City-based Safeway Stores, which purchased 50,000 square feet of property between Eighth and Ninth streets on Broadway in 1955, announced plans to build a store in Monett, facing south.

FIFTY YEARS AGO May 1-7, 1966 • Forty decorative redwood tubs with pyramidal arbor vitae evergreen shrubs were placed on both sides of Monett’s Broadway from Second to Sixth Street on May 2 as part of the community beautification project of the Monett Community Betterment Committee, co-sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce and Junior Chamber of Commerce. • The quit-claim deed and abstract of title to the property known as the old Central School, located at Second and Bond streets, was presented to the City of Monett by officials of the Vaisey-Bristol Shoe Company on May 4. Included in the property is a quarter of a block, which the city plans to convert into a downtown parking lot. FORTY YEARS AGO May 1-7, 1976 • All the babies born at St. Vincent’s Hospital during the past four years and their mothers were invited to attend a Baby Reunion on May 16 as a special observance of annual National Hospital Week, held May 9-16. • Gillioz Bank and Trust Company has offi-

Bob, at left, was a private in the 87th Mountain Infantry in the U.S. Army amphibious forces. George, at center, the last to return home, served a year in the Navy on the Breton, an aircraft carrier on the Tokyo and Hawaii run. Gale, at right, served as supply sergeant with the 16th armored engineers of the First Armored Division, fighting in five major campaigns and participating in the Salerno and Anzio beachheads.

THIRTY YEARS AGO May 1-7, 1986 • Monett city ordinances prohibiting burning of any kind within the corporate city limits during specific hours became effective on May 1, in effect through September. Fire Chief Jim Nolan said the purpose is to keep air, pulled into the homes by air conditioners and attic fans, free from smoke and odors. • Jerany Jackson, a 1982 Monett High School graduate and the daughter of Kimmie Jackson of Monett and the late

TWENTY YEARS AGO May 1-7, 1996 • The Monett City Council annexed a tract of land west of the southernmost standpipe, near The Lane Station, that will be zoned for single family housing. It is the first annexation of land into the city in 18 months, located on Farm Road 2022. • The first meeting of what is likely to be the Monett Historical Society was attended by 16 people.

Organizer Jenny Solomon called the response “wonderful.” Solomon received assurance from Utilities Superintendent Pete Rauch that the city council and employees were fully behind the effort to establish a local historical society. TEN YEARS AGO May 1-7, 2006 • Players coming to the Windmill Ridge municipal golf course in Monett will see new stone markers by each hole, adding a more sophisticated look to the facility from the old wood signs. Each marker shows the hole num-

ber, the yardage distance involved, and par number. • No one was injured in an airplane crash on May 4 at the Monett Municipal Airport, after a two-seat single engine plant with a pilot and a young boy passenger attempted a landing after discovering both wheels of their plane would not drop for a landing. After burning off fuel, the pilot cut off the fuel and attempted to glide in, but never made it to the runway, hitting the ground and spinning like a top.

Local artists on display at Lacoba

Students of Geri Carey offer their best works for show By Melonie Roberts reporter@monett-times.com

A group of adult art students has been gathering at the home of Geri Carey since 2008 to hone their skills, learn new techniques and fellowship through painting on canvas. “It’s the joy of fellowship, communing with friends and then giving your paintings away to family and friends,” said Marty Frost, one of Carey’s students. “That’s the reason we keep meeting and painting.” Now, area residents have the opportunity to view some of the incredible talent these local artists have to offer in a miniature exhibition at Lacoba Homes in Monett, which runs through May 12. Kathy Kennedy, a Lacoba resident and a former student of Carey’s, has an oil painting of a moonlit camping scene in the exhibit, with exquisitely detailed elements, including an illuminated tent near a stream, smoke rising from the campfire, and moonbeam-kissed ripples in a nearby stream. “I miss painting more than anything in the world,” Kennedy said. “I love to do it. I started painting when I was a little girl.” Kennedy had to finally give her favorite hobby up last year. “I still have my favorite paintings in my room here at Lacoba,” Kennedy said. “I also have some photos in my room that I had planned to paint, but didn’t get to them.” Carey’s students have been with her for a number of years. “We have been painting together for years,” Carey said. “Monett has some really good artists. They might not really learn anything new, but friendship is such a part of painting with our group.” Ronnie Boucher, a resident at Lacoba, toured the mini exhibition, which brought back fond memories of his own painting hobby. “This makes me want to pick up a brush again,” he said. “I used to work at Jumping Jacks and I painted still life and desert scenes in my spare time. “My painting buddy, Jim Richardson, was an art teacher here before he went to southwest Missouri State University,

[now Missouri State University]. We used to take photos or postcards when we traveled and then paint those.” Marian Hamm, also a resident at Lacoba and a former Carey student, discussed her days of painting on china. “Virginia Myers, of Monett, was our teacher,” Hamm said. “China painting is only for display. “I used to like painting birds and flowers on china. I painted on canvas,

too. My son has an entire wall dedicated to my oil paintings.” “Everyone has their own interest and talent, and they should pursue whatever brings them joy,” she said. “There really isn’t anyplace for artists to display their works in Monett,” Carey said. “It’s wonderful that Lacoba Homes has allowed us to use this space for the event.” While painting may not be everyone’s cup of tea, Frost urges her friends

and acquaintances to find a hobby or develop God-given talents outside of their daily routines. Artists with works on display at Lacoba include: Betty Henderson, Carolyn Grainger, Kathy Kennedy, Mamie Lane, Elner Medlin, Loretta Hurlbut, Kay Stephens, Harriett Cremeen, Marty Frost and Geri Carey. Visitors and art enthusiasts are welcome to enjoy the exhibit at Lacoba Homes from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.

PICK

THREE

Murray’s top picks for the week

For the annual President’s Concert at Missouri State University in Springfield, the MSU Grand Chorus and Symphony Orchestra perform Mozart’s “Requiem” and Poulenc’s “Gloria” at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Hammons Hall. The Mozart is a meditative, spiritual piece, matched with a buoyant life affirmation in the Poulenc, from 170 years later. With big choirs and orchestra, this will be a moving experience.

Fans of classic rock music will not want to miss what may be their final chance to see the 1960s’ rock band The Who in action, at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at the Sprint Center in downtown Kansas City. The Slydigs will also play. Be prepared to walk some distance as parking can be a nightmare in downtown KC.

For readers and lovers of books, this is one of the big weeks of the year. In Springfield, the semi-annual Greene County Friends of the Library Book Sale runs through Sunday at the Ozark Empire Fairgrounds E*Plex, a new location. Books old and recent, music recordings and other specialty items are available. For the truly hardcore, the Greater St. Louis Book Fair runs Friday through Sunday at the West County Center Mall, off Manchester at I-270, in the Macy’s parking lot, lower level, in suburban St. Louis, the biggest book sale in the state. 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.

Sister struggles to reconcile love for brother and her faith

EAR ABBY: I am very excited to be proposing soon to the man I want to spend my life with. My family is excited for me -- with one exception. My younger sister, whom I want to be my best woman, says she doesn’t know if she will be able to participate in our wedding because she’s having trouble reconciling that her faith tells her same-sex marriage is a sin. I have explained that it will be a civil ceremony with a judge instead of a religious figure and she says that this “helps,” but she still doesn’t know if she can be part of it. I love my sister and I know that if she didn’t love me in return, she wouldn’t be struggling with this; she just wouldn’t participate. She’s racking her brain and her Bible trying to find a way to square her faith with her love for me and my soon-to-be fiance. Despite this, I can’t help feeling hurt that she views my relationship as a sin she can’t be part of. If she decides she can’t

and that you will allow no one to blemish it.

Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby stand with me in my wedding, I don’t know what to do. If she can’t support my marriage, should I ask her to not come to the ceremony? -- WEDDING WOES DEAR WEDDING WOES: I don’t think you should be retaliatory and tell your sister to stay away if she feels her faith doesn’t permit her to be a member of your wedding party. If that’s the case, she may decide on her own not to attend. What you should do -- right now -- is decide whom else you would like to stand up with you on this important occasion. Choose someone who has no question about whether you are doing the right thing. I hope your special day will be a happy one

DEAR ABBY: I’ve been on and off again with this boy for about a year now, and he is socially awkward whereas I am not. He is extremely funny and loyal. I’m 13 and I think he wants to move to the next level of our relationship, and I’m not ready for that. He talks a lot of crap about my friends, too. I feel like I need a break from him. How do I let him know how I feel without sounding rude? -- TEEN IN ALBERTA, CANADA DEAR TEEN: Be clear in your messages to him. Tell him you don’t like the way he talks about your friends, and you don’t want to hear him do it again. If he pushes you to do ANYthing that makes you uncomfort-

able, tell him NO and that he should stop immediately. It is not rude to create boundaries for yourself; in fact, it is healthy. It is more important to be forthright than to be polite.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www. DearAbby.com or P.O.

“Because the People Must Know.” Public Notice advertising plays a unique role both in American history and in the process by which this country’s democracy is preserved. Its one premise is that people must be informed if they are to govern themselves competently. Public Notice advertising first came into being with the Congress of 1792. That body, recognizing its responsibility to the people, required the Postmaster General to advertise for bids for the construction of new post offices. From that inauspicious beginning to the publication requirements in federal, state and local laws today, government officials have come more and more to understand their obligations to inform the public through Public Notice advertising. Newspapers over the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled. They will continue to be as long as the public demands that it be informed frequently and by the best means possible.
