Back in the Good Old Days EIGHTY YEARS AGO May 31-June 6, 1935 • Farmers Night at the Railway Ice Company’s plant was one of hospitality and enjoyment. F.A. Wightman, secretary of the Commercial Club, found that guests consumed 20 1/2 pounds of bologna, 28 1/4 pounds of boiled ham, 360 boiled eggs, 70 pounds of cheese, 95 pounds of frankfurters, 85 pounds of potato salad, 1,000 radishes, 500 green onions, thee dozen cakes, 500 cups of ice cream and 400 cigars. • High water in the Midwest, with serious flooding in Topeka, Lawrence and Kansas City, has made farmers unable to harvest their alfalfa or tend to their fields. Wet weather seems to have helped the local strawberry harvest, extending the season by at least a week as prices rise, though many producers cannot clean their fields due to the water. Berries from other markets have been in higher demand for getting more sunlight and having a more appealing color, though the quality of local berries is high. SEVENTY YEARS AGO May 31-June 6, 1945 • Monett may be in line for a municipal airport. The Civil Aeronautics Administration has approved a site plant for an airport in Monett, but the entire matter hinges upon a $2 billion Congressional appropriations measure that would provide for thousands of airports over the country. The local planning committee feels sure $100,000 would purchase a site and make improvements. Half of the cost would be sustained by the government under the
proposed Airport Bill. • Monett is going to be free of mosquitoes this summer if Commissioner Francis Wallner has his way about it. All streams, ponds and still water in Monett and in a radius of one mile will be sprayed with fuel oil, which has been recommended by the State Board of Health as the most effective means of curbing the annual visitors. SIXTY YEARS AGO May 31-June 6, 1955 • With Eugene “Possum” Jackson and Bob Wilson leading the way with under par totals, the Monett golf team captured first place in the Southwest Missouri Sand Greens Tournament at the Monett Municipal Golf Course on June 5. Jackson, athletic director at Pierce City High School, blazed to a two-under-par 33 on the first nine and duplicated the feat on his last nine to win the tournament medal. Visiting golfers were high in their praise of the fine shape of the local course. • For the first time, perhaps in the history of the Monett Fire Department, no fire runs were made during a full calendar month as May went into the record books as an unblemished month. Fire Chief Henry Planchon could track the record at least as far back as when he started on Jan. 1, 1929. FIFTY YEARS AGO May 31-June 6, 1965 • On June 1, Mohawk Tire and Rubber company of Akron, Ohio purchased all the stock of Friend Tire Service from Hubert Friend, Harold Friend and Howard Randall. Harold Friend and Randall entered into contracts with Mohawk to manage the
Friend Tire Services for the next 10 years. • Lloyd Grieb, vocational agriculture instructor at Monett High School, was presented a golf charm in recognition of 25 years of service at the Missouri Vocational Agriculture Teachers Association at the University of Missouri in Columbia. Kenneth Garrison of Pierce City and Charles Rupp of Diamond were cited for 10 years of service. FORTY YEARS AGO May 31-June 6, 1975 • An engraved memorial plaque honoring Monett servicemen who lost their lives in the service of their country in the Korean and Vietnam wars will be dedicated at the American Legion Home on June 17. The plaque pays tribute to Richard Coker and John Higgins, killed in the Korean war, and James Ballay, Howard Threet and Thomas Wolfe, killed in action in the Vietnam war. • A severe windstorm hit Pierce City at 5:20 a.m. on June 5, lifting the roof and breaking windows at the Central School and totally destroying the school bus building. Most streets running north and south were blocked by fallen trees and downed electrical wires. THIRTY YEARS AGO May 31-June 6, 1985 • The planned addition of a second shift at the Tyson Foods plant in Monett will provide an immediate 200 additional jobs. Plant manager Wilburn Riddell said the new night shift will begin operation on June 17. Expanded operation is due to increased demand for the product. Total employment at the plant will rise from about 400 to around 800 eventually.
The 1955 season at the Monett Municipal Swimming Pool opened with facility improvements. The bath house was repainted, screens added, plumbing fixtures installed and the pool repaired and painted where needed. About 50 people attended on a cool opening day on May 30. The four pool employees are pictured from left: Ronnie Wolfe, concessioner; Jane Shanks and Felipe Betancourt, instructors for the water safety program, and Mildred Cox, pool supervisor. File photo/The Monett Times • Kristen Kern, a senior next year at Purdy High School and current Future Homemakers of America Missouri president, is serving as the conductor of the 1985 State Leadership Conference of the FHA at the University of Missouri in Columbia. TWENTY YEARS AGO May 31-June 6, 1995 • Monett Parks and Cemetery Superintendent Jim Riddle announced his plans to retire on June 16 after 19 years as a city employee. Riddle indicated it is hard to grasp without first hand experience how much effort goes into keeping up about 200 acres of parks and cemeteries. • The Cassville Democrat, Missouri’s oldest family-owned newspa-
per, has been sold to Mike and Lisa Schlichtman from Bob and Sue Mitchell. The Schlichtmans took over on June 1. TEN YEARS AGO May 31-June 6, 2005 • Persons interested in seeing a 911 system working for all of Barry County gathered on May 31 at the Purdy Community Center for another exchange of ideas on the ballot initiative, going before voters on June 7. “We’re not voting for 911. We’re voting for central dispatch,” said Presiding Commissioner Cherry Warren. “If the working don’t suit you,
blame the state legislature, not the county commissioners.” • On June 2, for the first time to anyone’s knowledge, an effort was made to move a century-old grave from the Pierce City Cemetery. James and Charles Brown of St. Louis moved the remains of their great-grandfather, James Cobb. The proceedings were filmed by Two Tone Productions for a documentary film about African Americans expulsions 104 years after the lynching that prompted the Cobb family to leave Pierce City.

Trinity Lutheran principal retiring after 36 years Carole Kleiboeker started career as a pre-k teacher, ended as principal By Melonie Roberts

reporter@monett-times.com
fter 36 years working at Trinity Lutheran School in Fresitatt, Carole Kleiboeker, principal, has announced her plans for retirement. Kleiboeker, who started the pre-k program in 1979, moved into teaching kindergarten, in 1983, and then taught fifth- and sixth-grade students. She was named the first woman principal at the parochial school in 1996, and has seen many changes in the educational process over those 36 years. “When I started, we had flannel boards and letters that stuck to the flannel,” she said. “Then, we moved to the blackboard with white chalk, and then the green board with yellow chalk, because it was easier on students’ eyes. In recent years, we have transitioned to the dry erase and smartboards. “The biggest change, for us, was the introduction of computers. I remember how excited we were when we got our first computer. Now we have a Continued on Page 7

In addition to the ABCs and 1-2-3s, Carole Kleiboeker, principal, said instructors at Trinity Lutheran School incorporate Christian teachings into the daily curriculum. The red balloons were used in a lesson about the ascension of Jesus into the heavens. Kleiboeker is pictured with students reviewing the lesson on the ascension. Melonie Roberts/ reporter@monett-times.com
Carole Kleiboeker reviewed paperwork in her office at Trinity Lutheran School in Freistatt. Kleiboeker started working at Trinity as a pre-k teacher in 1979 and was promoted to principal in 1996. In between, she taught fifth and sixth grades and still teaches communication arts to older students. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.

computer lab and about 50 computers in the school.” With advances in technology came a change in the way material is presented and graded. “In the accelerated reading program, we used to grade many book reports,” Kleiboeker said.
“Now, when the student is finished with the book, there is a computer generated test that measures comprehension.” Things were simpler in 1979, and the world was not as complex as it is today. “When I started teaching, we left the doors

and windows open. Sometimes in August and September, we’d let school out at 1 p.m. because of the heat. Now, we are on lock-down 24/7, under air conditioning. Now, we only let out because of icy days.” Children in the early childhood program still have the opportunity to get plenty of exercise and fresh air in a fenced area behind the school, but older students are confined pretty much to the school building.

“It’s a matter of student safety,” Kleiboeker said. “The world is a different place than it used to be. A lot changed for the Lutheran schools after the Amish girls were killed in Pennsylvania.” Kleiboeker was referring to the incident in 2006 in which gunman Charles Carl Roberts IV took hostages and shot 10 girls, ages 6 through 13, killing five, before committing suicide in the schoolhouse. “Since then, visitors

Mom seeks detour to safety around in-laws’ driving habits D EAR ABBY: My in-laws are fabulous. They love me and think the world of our 2-year-old daughter, “Hayley.” They do anything to support us. Recently, they asked to take Hayley overnight and drive a number of places with her. My concern is the driving part. My father-in-law doesn’t believe in car seats. On a few occasions he has asked me to just hop in the car with Hayley without a car seat. I refused. Another time, they had a circa-1980 car seat and asked to take Hayley with them to church. When I went to put her in the seat, the buckles wouldn’t work. When I reached over to the other side, the seat fell over. It wasn’t even strapped in! Now for my biggest fear: My mother-in-law is a notorious distracted driver — she applies makeup, eats food, talks on the phone and texts. I am not comfortable with her taking Hayley in the car with her. How do I approach this with them? I don’t want to harm our relationship, and I’d like them to spend time with their grandchild independently. But I can’t put my daughter in a dangerous situation. Any thoughts would be appreciated. — FEARFUL MOM IN SAN ANTONIO DEAR FEARFUL MOM: Your fears appear to be well found-
Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby ed. Your “fabulous” in-laws cannot be trusted to transport your little girl. My first thought was that you and your husband could buy them a car seat and have it installed. But if you can’t trust your father-in-law to use it, or your motherin-law to devote her full attention to her driving when her grandchild is in the car, then the child’s safety must come first. As a mother, your job is to be conscientious, even if it makes you less popular. And your husband should back you up 100 percent. DEAR ABBY: My husband is very affectionate. He loves to cuddle, snuggle and sweettalk morning, noon and night. However, he doesn’t do it with me — he does it with our cats. Don’t get me wrong — he’s a good husband, and I get a quick hug and kiss goodbye when I leave for work in the mornings and he holds my hand when we walk. But when we go to bed at night, he turns his back to me, reaches behind him, pats me on the
arm and says goodnight. There is no cuddling and no sweet-talk with me. Sometimes I would like a little scratch behind MY ears. We married late in life, so maybe the sex is out, but my late husband used to hold me and make me feel special. I’m only 62 and I can’t imagine living this way for the rest of my life, but I love this man, so divorce is out. Any advice? — “MEOW” IN OGDEN, UTAH
DEAR “MEOW”: Was your husband like this before you married him? If so, did you accept his proposal thinking you could change him? If not, then it appears you have a serious communication problem. If you haven’t already, you need to tell him what you need in order
to feel as loved and cherished as the cats. And if that doesn’t work, you both need marriage counseling because I can’t imagine you living the rest of your life starved for affection. As you said, you’re only 62. 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.

“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.
