Back in the Good Old Days EIGHTY YEARS AGO June 14-20, 1935 • Fields are too wet for the upcoming hay harvest. Barley ripens about 10 days ahead of wheat and is ready now. Frank Wightman attempted a barley harvest last week with the team hitched to the binder mired in mud and one of the horse got down. Raymond Phariss finished cutting his barley with an old fashioned cradle. He had about eight acres of grain. Younger farmers have never used a cradle and don’t know how. • There has been so much rain lately that James Huffman Jr. and Jack Spratley have been catching bluegill in Kelley Creek right in the heart of the business district of Monett. The fish are not large but they are fish. Old timers say when Kelly Creek was a typical country stream, flowing along the foot of Marshal Hill, there were some fairly good fishing holes down below town a short distance. SEVENTY YEARS AGO June 14-20, 1945 • Fire Chief Henry Planchon rescued a kitten trapped in a tree on Lincoln and Dunn for two days. Planchon climbed the ladder and walked along on one the highest limbs to complete the rescue. He took the kitten home to spare the neighbors any more distress. • Monett has gone over the top in the Seventh War Loan drive, topping its $250,000 quota by $10,000. Monett issuing agencies sold $21,094.509 in bonds credited to rural districts, bringing the total

Monett amount to more than $282,000. SIXTY YEARS AGO June 14-20, 1955 • Highly impressed and delighted with the appearance of the newly remodeled First National Bank building at Fourth and Broadway were the estimated 500 persons who toured the second and third floor offices. The upper level had been an open hall for the Eastern Star and Masonic Lodge. Present tenants include attorney Almon Maus, Jarvis Tax Service, Dr. Robert Donley, Randall Insurance Agency and Tip Top Beauty Shop. • On June 14, Safeway Stores Inc. purchased eight lots in the 800 block of Monett’s East Broadway for a new Safeway supermarket and sparking area. Five dwellings were included in the purchase. Safeway has been located at Fifth and Bond. FIFTY YEARS AGO June 14-20, 1965 • The 35th annual Monett Junior Chamber of Commerce Carnival opened on June 16 in the Safeway parking lot on Broadway. Carnival chairman Jerry Sebastian said Jaycees have rented a large merry-go-round and Ferris wheel. With the increased size of the carnival this year, part of Eighth Street between Broadway and Bond was used for several rides and stands. • In the same week, the Monett Fire Department put its new 1965 fire truck into service and the Police Department got a 1965 squad car. The Howe Fire Apparatus Company of Indiana

put the truck on a Mix Davis Chevrolet chassis. The police car came from Pryor Motors of Monett. FORTY YEARS AGO June 14-20, 1975 • Nearing completion is the new sanctuary for the First Presbyterian Church in Monett, constructed adjacent to and connected with the present sanctuary, built in 1967, at 700 Sycamore. Groundbreaking was held on Jan. 19. • Rev. Merwin Desens of Milwaukee, Wisc., who is now serving as pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church at St. Louis, has accepted the call to pastor St. John’s Lutheran Church in Monett. He succeeds Rev. John Kessler, who will become a missionary educator in India. THIRTY YEARS AGO June 14-20, 1985 • A ribbon cutting ceremony was held on June 17 for the inauguration of a second shift at the Tyson Foods plant in Monett. A total of 175 employees were added at the plant. • Monett Police Chief Wesley Thomas encouraged citizen involvement, citing the success of the Neighborhood Watch program as a means of crime prevention. Monett has eight Neighborhood Watch areas in operation. TWENTY YEARS AGTO June 14-20, 1995 • Mark Blackwell will take over as a new city street and park superintendent, combining the duties of the street and sanitation superintendent and the parks and cemetery superintendent. Blackwell has worked for the city of

On June 14, 1955, 12 of the 15 accordian students of Mrs. H.D. Phillips of Monett performed in a piano and accordian recital at the Monett City Park Casino.

Springfield for the past two-and-a-half years. • Gene Rice will leave the Pierce City R-6 School District’s superintendent job to take the same job for the Fair Grove School District. J.D. Smith resigned from the school board to take the district’s top job. Smith retired as superintendent after 15 years in 1980. TEN YEARS AGO June 14-20, 2005 • The family of Richard Schacht, the late greenskeeper at the Windmill Ridge municipal golf course in Monett, dedicated at stone bench in his memory, to sit at the 12th hole. Schacht was killed in a vehicle crash in 2004.

• The City Council in Pierce City voted to endorse the proclamation issued by Mayor Mark Peters on June 3 apologizing for the racial violence of 1901, in response to a request by the family of African American James Cobb, who had moved his remains from the city cemetery.

Copeland said much of the food consumed by Americans today is made with products that have been sprayed with chemical insect repellants or the chemicals have been introduced into the seeds of the plants. “When you eat that, you’re eating Roundup,” she said. “GMOs destroy the brain and cause all kinds of health issues.” Melonie Roberts/reporter@

oni Copeland got interested in natural foods and health supplements when her two children began suffering medical issues the doctors just could not figure out. “We found an herbalist in the area and started doing that type of treatment in 1986,” Copeland said. “We started seeing results with them and their healing.” Copeland, who was living in southern California at the time, started buying books on the subject and started self-educating on natural remedies, becoming informed on a variety of subjects surrounding the health concerns of her children. “My parents weren’t big doctor people,” she said. “As a parent, you have to be an advocate and healer for your children. So, we found an herbalist in the area and I started going back to school and got a degree as a naturopathic doctor. I’ve been doing this 19 years now.” Once her family moved to Pierce City, Copeland opened a small store, Herb Depot, on Commercial Street. “It was a small test market,” she said. “The kids were in school there and I needed be available in case they needed me at school. I was also involved with several different organizations as well.” Copeland and her family moved to Monett in 1980 and opened Herb Depot in 1998, serving not only the local population, but several customers from Colorado, Oregon and other out-of-staters who had sought her out for her expertise. In 2006, the couple bought some property across from Walmart and built their own store. “There weren’t a whole lot of holistic providers back then,” Copeland said. “I used to do a lot of reflexology, but I don’t really have time. I’d like to get back into that.” Copeland said people started to sit up and take notice of their lifestyle

Anne Collier and her daughter, Faith, recently stopped by Herb Depot in Monett to pick up a few items, including fluoride-free bottled water. Many municipalities have added fluoride to their water distribution systems, despite public concerns about it and other chemical additives. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-time.com choices when they started experiencing so many health issues, including gluten and other food intolerances. “It’s been going on for a long time on the west coast,” Copeland said. “This part of the country is further behind as far as hearing stuff, unfortunately. You can’t initiate these subjects with people until they hear about it through the media. They don’t believe it.” Copeland said the gluten-free movement really opened up the market for her. “When I was in Pierce City, I just had supplements and teas,” she said. “The area wasn’t really ready for the organic grocery industry. When we opened this store in 2006, we were losing some of our customers who

were going to Joplin or Springfield for the foods. Grocery stores around here didn’t carry anything organic.” While some people say the cost of organic is too high, Copeland has other thoughts on the subject. “If you look at the nutrients in whole foods that have no chemicals, your body is getting a nutrient-dense food source,” she said. “It doesn’t ask you to eat these huge amounts to find the nutrients. When you’re eating processed, chemical-laden foods, there’s no nutrients in that food. They have been destroyed by the chemicals. So the body is going to signal a person to eat more because it did not find the nutrients it needed. “The corn syrup in foods is also very addictive. The MSG and GMO’s,

it’s a big deal. So, when someone says it’s more expensive to eat organically, I kind of take it personally. If you look at the people in Europe, they are skinnier and healthier. Yeah, because they walk everywhere and they eat very small portions more often. They don’t eat super-sized, all-you-can-eat buffets and 10 pieces of pizza at a sitting. Americans are a gluttonized society. It’s really sad. Buying organics, you’re going to eat less, buy less and have less waste.” Copeland said other factors contribute to obesity and health issues in this country as well. “More and more, people are developing an intolerance to the fast food industry,” Copeland said. “The Asian Continued on Page 6

food industry uses MSG as a flavor enhancer. It’s also a chemical that kills brain cells. It’s one of the worst food additives known, as well as high fructose corn syrup,which is list second on the hazardous food chemical list. Aspartame is number one. “Those are chemicals that the body was not designed to live on. The body is made in an organic, natural state, a pure, simple, homeostasis live being. Then, you take it and start poisoning it as life goes on, destroying cells and causing disease and using drugs.” Some cells are able to regenerate. “Through detoxification, the body will try to right itself,” Copeland said. “It wants to do the right thing. It wants to survive. But, over a lifespan of poisoning it and killing off cells, it’s going to be diseased.” Food additives cause cravings in many people, drawing them back to the same restaurants and grocery aisles and to the same foods that are poisoning their systems. “High fructose corn syrup makes you eat more,” Copeland said. “It’s an addictive type of ingredient that’s in everything. They put it in pizza crust. That’s why people eat 10 slices of pizza. High fructose corn syrup can extend the shelf life of some foods for up to five years. You can set a package of cookies or cake mix on the shelf for five years and it won’t spoil. People are paying for junk, and chemicals.” As the owner of an organic food store, Copeland said she knows about food waste.

“You order in small amounts,” she said. “Food in general is expensive. But, if people would eat whole, nutrient-dense food, they wouldn’t need multivitamins.” Although people are migrating to the produce aisle at the grocery store, there are still con-

cerns as to how commercially grown produce is managed, fertilized and shipped. “There is a list of the dirty dozen foods you don’t want to eat,” Copeland said. “Whatever benefits the food might have had have been negated through sprayed

Spinach contains nearly twice the amount of iron of other leafy greens, and is subject to the application of pesticides, but in other countries, questionable fertilization practices, as well. Other produce that should be bought organically includes celery, peaches, nectarines, bell peppers, hot peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, beans and blueberries. “You can actually taste the difference in non-GMO foods,” Copeland said. “If you have ever been to a high-end restaurant that serves small amounts of steamed vegetables and proteins, they are either from the chef’s own farms or they’re organic. They know you are getting that flavor and you don’t need a huge plate of food. their trick to that is to use high-end foods. “We traveled to Maui and toured an organic farm that was owned by eight of the island’s chefs. We actually had

We were walking through the gardens while workers were cutting stuff down and throwing it into baskets that they were going to prepare for us. They baked the bread from wheat they had ground right there. It was unbelievable.” Commercial restaurant chains are also sitting up and taking notice. “Panera and Chipotle have announced by 2016, their restaurants will serve no GMO foods,” Copeland said. “They are eating the pace for that. “The area we live in is certainly not geared for hiking and biking and walking to work. In healthier states, people are hiking, biking and walking everywhere. There are organic restaurants and grocery stores everywhere. I keep thinking, ‘When are we going to get to do that?’” In California, a former McDonald’s chief executive officer is test marketing a restaurant called LYFE, which is serving organic, healthy fast food.” The goal of the restaurant is to serve food that

customers about what they are putting in their bodies and the positive impact that can be made by making small changes. “I’m not asking anyone to go empty out their kitchen and start over,” she said. “We’re talking baby steps. If they run out of a spice, come get one that’s organically made. When replacing flour, get gluten free.” Her ideas are simple, but accurate. “When the body is in pain or gets sick, it’s toxic,” she said. “Health is all about prevention.

it straight from their gardens to the table, but she also offers a produce box program for those wanting to start taking control over their food choices. “Customers can order 10-pound boxes of fruit, produce or a combination, and if stored correctly, will keep for two to three weeks.” There is a 20-pound box option for those with bigger families. “Everything I eat is grass-fed, hormone free and chemical free,” she said. “It takes getting up 10 minutes earlier to prepare something for lunch and making a healthier choice.” For more information, people may call Copeland at the Herb Depot at 417-235-5500, or stop by the store, located at 600 Bridle Lane, during regular business hours.

Wife of transgender husband refuses to get counseling

EAR ABBY: Two years ago, I came out as male-tofemale transgender. My wife has come around since then, and our second child will be born before I start my transition. She has decided to stay with me, but occasionally she tells me she isn’t sure if she can be married to a woman. On the other hand, she says she doesn’t want to have to share custody of our children. I have urged her to talk to a therapist, because she gets a few free sessions from her job. Because she doesn’t like people knowing about her problems, she steadfastly refuses. I’m not sure what else to do. I won’t make her stay if she can’t handle it, but I refuse to tell her I’ll give her full custody. — LIVING MY TRUTH IN THE EAST

DEAR LIVING: If your wife prefers, out of concern for her privacy, not to talk to a therapist who’s connected with her job, that is her choice. But that does not mean she shouldn’t get counseling elsewhere to help her make rational decisions about her future. A support group that could also be helpful to her is the Straight Spouse Network (straightspouse.org), which has been mentioned before in my column. As for you, my friend, you should consult a

Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby lawyer who specializes in family law and gender issues. Lambda Legal (lambdalegal.org) should be able to refer you. With help, you should be able to work out a fair and reasonable custody arrangement, should it become necessary. DEAR ABBY: I’m attending a close friend’s bachelorette party and have confirmed that having it in an adult club is “a priority” for her. I’m uncomfortable with the idea of entering such an establishment because it goes against my personal beliefs. We are all staying with friends, so I can’t just head back to my hotel room or go home. How can I excuse myself from this part of the event without causing too much trouble for anyone? — READY NOT TO PARTY DEAR READY NOT TO PARTY: Because all of the bachelorettes will be out of town and you prefer not to attend the “main event,” level with the bride about your feelings, give her your regrets, wish her well and stay home.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 73-year-old man. Over the years I have sometimes cried over sad, heartwarming stories in books or on TV, especially those involving children. I have also lost several loved ones, and although I was as sad about these losses as anyone else, I was never able to shed tears over it. Why do I cry over things that don’t pertain to me or anybody in my life, but can’t when someone I love passes away? Is something wrong with me? — TEARLESS IN WICHITA DEAR TEARLESS: Tears can be cathartic, but people react to death in different ways. Not everyone can cry on cue, even if it would be a relief to be able to. Sometimes there’s just a deep “ache,” like lead in one’s chest. In your case, it may be less

painful or threatening to cry over a sad movie than a funeral. When tears finally come (usually over something less significant), they can be more copious than one would expect because they have been bottled up.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write 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. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.)

Men and women sacrifice in service to their country for many reasons. Secrecy in government is not one of them. State law requires government entities at all levels, from water districts to city councils and school boards, to place notices of many of their activities in a legal newspaper. This is a legal newspaper. A printed notice in this newspaper can’t be hacked into like a website. It’s permanent. The date in the corner proves it was printed when required. It can be trusted without question in these times when trust in government is so low. Would a similar notice posted somewhere on the internet provide the same measure of transparency? The answer to that is obvious. No, it would not.
