BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO MAY 15-21, 1936 • A complaint has been filed against Monett attorney Horace Gardner before the Missouri Bar Committee. Gardner was charged in eight counts of having solicited lawsuits through a “paid agent and runner,” with having interfered with the processes of the probate and circuit courts in Greene County and having broken a promise to the bar committee of the 23rd Judicial Circuit to “refrain from unprofessional conduct.” • Logan McKee has announced the Ad Club’s annual entertainment for men has been expanded to two days at the Monett City Hall Auditorium. Activities will include music by the Old Folks Orchestra and the Massey Brothers, among others, plus the skits “The Snake Hunters,” “A Hot Sunday Evening at Kate’s Place,” “Ladies Aid Sewing Circle: A School for Scandal” and “They Walked Back from the Buggy Ride.” SEVENTY YEARS AGO MAY 15-21, 1946 • Nearly every feed store in Monett on May 15 was completely out of chicken feed, even the two hatcheries. The situation is bad enough to create a panic, but all heads agreed that farmers would be foolish at this stage to liquidate their flocks. In view of the pending egg shortage, many experts believe eggs will go to 75 cents a dozen this fall. • The 23rd carload of strawberries rolled out of Monett on May 20 as the market continued to hold firm at $11 to $12 a crate. The Monett Fruit and Truck Growers Association reported sales of $12 a crate on May 16, the high-

est price ever reported for strawberries shipped out of Monett. Too much rain and cold weather has decreased the harvest. SIXTY YEARS AGO MAY 15-21, 1956 • A total of 5.48 inches of rain, the heaviest downpour in the region in five years, fell in Monett during the 36-hour period from May 13 to early May 15. The Spring River Trout Farm reported losing a large number of fish due to the high water. Damage at Roaring River State Park was estimated at near $60,000. Temperatures nosedived following the showers, from a high near 90 on May 13 to the mid 50s on May 14. • After fears that the North Barry County Chapter of the American Red Cross would be closed, fundraising boosted annual giving to $3,797 of the needed $3,997 quota, prompting the Red Cross to keep the program. As a result, both St. Vincent’s Hospital in Monett and the Wheaton Hospital will participate in the Red Cross blood program throughout the next year. FIFTY YEARS AGO MAY 15-21, 1966 • Missouri Governor Warren E. Hearnes received a warm reception at the Friend Airpark, west of Monett, when he flew in on a Highway Patrol airplane on May 15 on his way to dedicate the new grass greens golf course in Cassville. City Commissioner Albert McIntire led a delegation that included Congressional candidate Arch Skelton of Springfield and Meredith Garten, chairman of the Lawrence County Republican Central Committee.

• Jerry James, a service man with the Gas Service Company in Monett, was elected president of the Monett Junior Chamber of Commerce for the coming year on May 19. James served as second vice president of the club for the past year. FORTY YEARS AGO MAY 15-21, 1976 • Monett High School creative writing teacher Mildred Tinklepaugh and Willella Shanks will be retiring at the end of the school year. Tinklepaugh received a scrapbook and a charm bracelet from her students, while Shanks received a silver serving tray from the Future Homemakers of America, which she sponsored. • Howard Randall, who has served as president of Friend Tire Service Inc. since 1962, and Edward Huwaldt, vice president of the board of of United Missouri Bancshares Inc., were named to the board of directors of the Gillioz Bank and Trust Company of Monett. They replaced long-time directors Blanche Gillioz and Alma Kinser of Monett. Also serving on the board are Walt Reynaud, O.E. Parscale, Ed Sweeney, Jerry Sebastian and Jack Fox, bank president. THIRTY YEARS AGO MAY 15-21, 1986 • The rear wall of the building constructed in the early 1900s by F.M. Hall on the southwest corner of Third and Broadway, collapsed with a loud explosive sound on May 16. Crosslines moved out of the building in 1985 because of “unsafe conditions.” The building later housed an appliance store and later Worm Electric and Appliance for about

A new attraction at the Kiwanis Kiddies Playground at the Monett City Park in mid-May of 1976, was a King Kong slide, purchased by the club to expand the playground facilities. The new attraction had an overall height of 11 and a half feet, and a platform height of six feet. It featured two ladders, a circular climbing area, slide and platform. Pictured helping with the assembly, from left, were: Dick Brady, Ron Wormington, Roy Howerton, David Doenig, Bab Baum and Mark Cooper. Purchase of the King Kong Slide was a project of the Kiwanians’ Boys and Girls Committee, with funding through a donation by the late Helen McKee Sagar Nutting. File photo/The Monett Times 25 years. • A bill authorizing the transfer of the local National Guard Armory to the City of Monett in return for a site for the construction of a new $1.4 million armory here was signed into law by Governor John Ashcroft on May 19. The new armory will be constructed on a 10-acre site on the Monett Industrial Development Corporation tract, part of the 72 acres purchased three years ago south of the railroad tracks and west of Chapell Drive. TWENTY YEARS AGO MAY 15-21, 1996 • Monett City Council candidate Deborah K. Schoen has requested a new election for the council seat she sought against incumbent Rex Lane, which Lane won by seven votes. Schoen cited numerous alleged irregularities. The Missouri Supreme Court has assigned the

case to Lawrence County Associate Circuit Judge Samuel Jones. • In one of the strangest city council meetings in recent years, James W. Popplewell, owner of a lawn care service, was drafted out of the audience to take the Ward 1 alderman’s seat in Purdy. Swearing in Popplewell prompted applause from the audience of around 20 people and established a quorum that allowed the meeting to continue for another two hours. TEN YEARS AGO MAY 15-21, 2006 • On May 19, Monett’s 11th annual Relay for Life, the community team fundraiser for the American

Cancer Society, proved to be a big success. With one of the warmest evenings the event has had, supporters raised $92,157.74 to continue the fight against cancer. • Lawrence countians with developmental disabilities now have a recreational center in Aurora designed for their special needs and interests. The center, located behind the office space for the Lawrence County Tax Board for the Developmentally Disabled, 319 W Madison, has a 52-inch TV, games, crafts and exercise equipment for clients to use. The center in open Mondays and Tuesdays.

New massage business relaxes stress away

Soft lights, Swedish massage some of many offerings at Just B Massage & Bodyworks BY MELONIE ROBERTS reporter@monett-times.com

hen the daily grind of job, mortgage and car payments, unending phone calls, overactive children and undercooked dinners get to be overwhelming, area residents can take a break, unplug and unwind at Just B Massage & Bodyworks, located inside Chapman Medical Clinic in Pierce City. Bambi Hill, licensed massage therapist, opened for business earlier this year and already has a devoted customer base and a client list that grows daily. “In my job as a systems analyst, there is a lot of high stress and tension and hours of sitting at a desk,” said Ashley Linebarger, who works at Jack Henry and Associates in Monett. “I do a lot of traveling, as well. I was undergoing physical therapy for back problems I suffered doing gymnastics as a student. After starting regular massage therapy with Bambi, I’ve been able to quit taking physical therapy. I come here at least once a month, and more if I need it.” “I love being able to see the difference I’m making and being able to help people,” Hill said. “I have one client with a tendon issue in his foot. It looked like he would have to undergo surgery, but after nine weeks of massage therapy once a week, the tendon is already lengthening, the muscles in his foot are getting stronger and surgery may no longer be indicated.” Hill attended a 900-hour professional massage therapist course in Springfield, learning several types of massage, including Swedish and Thai, deep tissue and hot stone therapy. Courses also focused on neuromuscular therapies, in which practitioners isolate specific muscles and treat specific symptoms in targeted areas of the body. “Massage therapy is able to decrease

anxiety, provide stress relief, give clients flexibility and extended range of motion, pain relief, and improves rehabilitation following an injury or surgery,” Hill said. “It can also provide overall health and wellness of mind, body and spirit.” Hill, a former administrative assistant to the general manager of internet solutions at Jack Henry and Associates, found herself at a crossroads in life when he retired and she transitioned to another position in the company. “I wasn’t happy, and I realized it

was because I was no longer making a difference or truly helping any one part of the business,” Hill said. “I took time off to re-evaluate and realized I missed the face-to-face human interaction, helping someone and knowing I had made a difference at the end of the work day. I did some soul searching and realized I am happiest when I am helping people in some way. I began to search for a new path. “After I left the corporate world, I traveled for a month, off and on, in an effort to center myself and search for a new direction. During that time, I

decided to treat myself to a relaxation massage. I asked the therapist dozens of questions and by the time I left, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.” Upon completion of the intensive course, Hill decided to open her own business, Just B Massage & Bodywork, where she could focus strictly on her clients’ needs and overall wellness. Hill only schedules six appointments per day, so she can ensure each person receives the best treatment for their needs. “My goal is for each client to leave CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

A touring production of “Ragtime: the Musical” is presented at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday at the Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts in Springfield. This sprawling retelling of the E.L.

A wonderful concert of American music is offered by the Tulsa Symphony on Saturday. Music includes Copland’s Symphony No. 3, considered “the Great American Symphony,” and his “Fanfare for the Common Man,” Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” and Aaron Jay Kernis’s “Musica Celestis” at 7:30 p.m. on May 14 in the Chapman Music Hall of the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, 110 S.

Opening the door in a closed adoption invites hard decisions D EAR ABBY: We have a child who was adopted through a closed adoption. We met the birth parents briefly at the hospital, but they wanted no further contact. Both birth parents had issues with drug abuse, and our daughter was born with drug issues, too. A few years later we were contacted via the adoption agency by the paternal birth grandparents. They requested some photos because the birth father was getting out of jail and they thought the photos would help keep him out of trouble. We sent a nice collection of photos and an update on our child. The next year, the birth grandparents sent a letter saying they would like more contact, including visits. They provided us with their names and contact info. The birth father, who now is back in jail, never contacted us and, as far as we know, does not want any contact. The adoption agency says they will pass on information between us, but doesn’t have any advice on what we should do. Our daughter is 6 and has expressed interest in her birth family. My husband wants no contact with the birth grandparents since neither of the birth parents consented to contact and it was a closed adoption. He is also concerned that our other adopted children

locate her birth family when she is an adult, tell her you will help her then. But prepare her in advance so she will know what she’s in for.

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY may be hurt and jealous since they can’t have contact with their birth parents for various reasons. I am worried our daughter will be upset when she grows up that we never established a relationship with her birth family, but I really don’t want to be involved with a family with such complex drug and legal issues. We have a large extended family, and our daughter sees her grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins all the time. Should we start a relationship with her birth grandparents? — UNCERTAIN DOWN SOUTH DEAR UNCERTAIN: I agree with your husband, for all of the reasons you mentioned. Your daughter’s birth parents made their wishes clear from the outset. You wouldn’t be in this bind if you had respected them. Because your daughter’s birth parents are addicts, it is very important for her to understand that she may have a genetic tendency toward addiction herself. If she would like to

DEAR ABBY: I’ve never seen this question in your column. A female co-worker of mine wears a wig, and it’s getting pretty scruffy. No one acknowledges her hairpiece, yet we all know she wears one. If it were me, I would want someone to tell me it’s time for a shampoo (or replacement?). When it was new, it was lovely. She’s a wonderful person, and we don’t want to embarrass her. Should we say something, or is it none of our business? Your thoughts? — WORKING WOMAN DEAR WORKING WOMAN: There is no way to diplomatically tell a person wearing a

hairpiece that she (or he) is fooling no one or that it’s looking ratty. If you do, it will cause embarrassment, or worse, hurt feelings. So resist the urge unless the woman asks for your opinion. 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. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069. Good advice for everyone — teens to seniors — is in “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It.” To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Anger Booklet, P.O.
