BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO JUNE 15-22, 1934 • A number of Monett people motoring in the vicinity of Billings were surprised to find that a small tornado and cloudburst had struck about a mile north of that place. The chapel in the cemetery was picked up and carried 60 or 70 feet, where it struck a large pine tree.

• Max Arend of the Monett Drug Company is wondering if he saw Pretty Boy Floyd and one of his accomplices when two men in a Ford V-8 sedan drove up in front of the drug store Monday evening and honked for service. They asked Arend for a package of cigarettes.

Arend noticed a machine gun and several other guns in the back of the car and on the back seat. The car bore an Oklahoma license.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO JUNE 15-21, 1944 • Captain P.J. Heyburn, son of Mrs. P.J. Heyburn, formerly of Monett, designed a plastic “cage” used to cure men with broken necks. Capt. Heyburn used the specially processed glass of a crashed bomber for the “cage,” which has been put in operation in the first American hospital unit to be established in Britain.

• Monett’s housing situation is past the critical stage and has reached a crisis. Houses and apartments, furnished or unfurnished, are not to be had and our city is losing prospective new residents by the lack of living quarters.

SIXTY YEARS AGO JUNE 15-21, 1954 • Initial work has started building a drainage canal to carry water from the Monett swimming pool to the fishing lake at the city park. The

ditch, when completed, will be lined with small rocks to filter out the chlorine before the water reaches the fish-stocked lake, was constructed by the Monett Sportsmen’s League.

• Kenneth McShane, owner of the McShane Drug Store and for many years a Monett druggist, was elected president of the Missouri Pharmaceutical Association at its convention in St. Louis.

FIFTY YEARS AGO JUNE 15-21, 1964 • Ground has been broken for the new Church of Christ building at 1107 N. Ninth St. Fred Webb, pastor of the church, turned the first shovelful. The new building will cost $45,000 and the exterior is expected to be completed by Oct. 1.

• The 34th annual Monett Junior Chamber of Commerce Carnival opened on June 17 on the Safeway Store parking lot at Eighth and Broadway. One of the most popular attractions this year is the huge Ferris wheel, 40 feet high, that is being leased by the Jaycees.

FORTY YEARS AGO JUNE 15-21, 1974 • A crowd of 150 former teammates in high school and junior college as well as friends attended a reception of Kenley Richardson, former Monett High School coach who retired this year. The reception was held at the Monett City Park Casino and included a testimonial banquet.

• Coleman and Jane Johnson of Verona, and their son, Jim, have two exotic females in the cattle herd on the Red Mill Ranch. The two heifers are seven-eighths purebred Simmentals, the result of a seven-year breeding program. Simmental is an Austrian breed first intro-

“Here’s your ticket, Mister,” says Miss Pamela Hankins, 2 1/2 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.E. Hankins,as she hands over her fare to Gene Mulvaney at the kiddies car ride at the Jaycee Carnival on June 18, 1954. Curtis Wendler, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Wendler, at front right, seems bored at the delay and he waited impatiently for things to start moving with chin in hands. File Photo/The Monett Times duced into North America in 1965.

THIRTY YEARS AGO JUNE 15-21, 1984 • Seven rotating biological contactors (RBCs), which have been at a standstill for several weeks at the Monett Wastewater Treatment Plant, have been replaced by five new units. The breakdown left the plant operating at twothirds capacity, though the other 13 RBCs continued functioning properly. The breakdown led to an abatement order for odor by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources.

• Rev. David Samuels has assumed the pastorate

at Christ United Methodist Church and the Liberty United Methodist Church, both in the Monett area. A 1976 graduate of Cassville High School, Samuel has served at two churches in Oklahoma.

TWENTY YEARS AGO JUNE 15-21, 1994 • One year after the Monett City Council adopted an ordinance on second=hand sales in Monett, the originally-dubbed “pawnbrokers ordinance” has been deemed a success by dealers in town handling second-hand merchandise. Police Chief Larry Zimmerman introduced the ordinance in March 1993

after seeing what appeared to be more trafficking in stolen goods into the city.

• The Monett School Board has purchased one modular classroom and leased a second for use at Monett Elementary School for the next two years. Superintendent Dr. Charles Cudney said the trailers will only be used for up to a half day regularly.

TEN YEARS AGO JUNE 15-21, 2004 • Monett historian Leon Fredrick recalled the ice cream wars in Monett

during his youth in the 1930s, when the Jerome Creamery and the Corner Pharmacy battled with the Double-Dip ice cream store for the hearts and loyalty of Monett’s youth.

• Missouri Governor Bob Holden has signed House Bill 1071 for the conveyance of the former National Guard armory at Pierce City to the city’s ownership and for it to be named the Ray A. Carver Building.

State Representative Jack Goodman sponsored the measure.

Nearly 400 youth participate in local league

Monett baseball, softball league introduces youngsters to the sport

BY MELONIE ROBERTS reporter@monett-times.com

The Monett Youth Baseball and Softball League (MYBSL) does more than provide sports for area youth.

Members also work to give back to the city and companies that work hard to promote the youth sports program.

“We use proceeds to purchase catcher’s gear, equipment, helmets and more,” said Ken Gaspar, league treasurer. “We’re replaced 10 dugouts in five fields and are saving now to replace the backstops and do paving.

“The biggest thing, we received a grant from Baseball Tomorrow Fund, a Major League Baseball grant, that paid for half of the new lighting system. The city paid a portion, we paid a portion and the school district paid a portion.

Between four entities, we have the new lighting system and it is guaranteed for 25 years.”

The program offers youngsters ages 4-15 the opportunity to play softball, baseball and T-ball (4-to 6-year-olds) for a minimum of 10 games in an eightweek program.

“The city maintains the park and keeps the grounds done nicely,” Gaspar said. “It really showcases the city. It’s a good reflection on us.”

The program encourages participation in the sports for both boys and girls, although Gaspar said there is a notable difference in playing styles.

“You can’t pay a girl to slide for anything,” he said. “Boys are fearless.”

Anyone who wants to play can sign up for the league.

“The program is for everyone,” Gaspar said. “Any player registered will play. We have no benchwarmers, no exclusions.

We never want a kid unable to play because of economics, so we have scholarships available. This year, we offered about 20 scholarships to families that couldn’t afford the fees.”

Sign-ups begin in February each year.

“It’s odd to talk about baseball when the snow is flying,” Gaspar said, “but the logistics of organizing 375 kids, just from the Monett area, are huge. Each league president meets with other presidents to figure out the game schedule. It takes a lot of time, dedication, experimenting and patience.”

One of the largest challenges faced by league organizers is scheduling.

“If not all the team rosters are filled, then we have teams playing each other more often, and it gets lopsided,” Gaspar said.

Nick Pinkleton of Monett takes a swing against Sarcoxie. Teams play a minimum of 10 games per season and every members plays. “There are no benchwarmers,” said Ken Gaspar, league treasurer.

Brayden Seitz gave it his all in a recent game. “The younger players learn the basics of the game and how to take direction from someone other than mom or dad,” said Ken Gaspar, league treasurer. LaDonna McVay/Special to The Monett Times

League: Gaspar gives credit to city of Monett for quality of the ballfields

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 3

“They provide the shirts and hats for the boys’ teams and the shirts and socks for the girls’ teams,” Gaspar said. “We even have multiteam discounts for those that want to sponsor more than one team.”

The shirts include the corporate logo and typically matches the business colors.

“We never have a shortage of business support for our program,” Gaspar said. “The city park does not charge for use of this facility and that is a benefit other programs don’t have.”

One enemy of ball play is Mother Nature.

that if they volunteer for something, it is going to take up a lot of time. But if you have a lot of volunteers, the work is spread out and they do have time to watch their kids play.”

Most volunteer positions are short-term; from February, when sign-ups begin, through June when the season ends.

“This program is bigger than one person,” Gaspar said. “But is great to see the park full and hear the stories of these kids as they grow up. It’s neat being a part of that.”

The concession stand is part of what drives the

program and contains the only paid positions for the league.

“We hire high school kids to run it,” Gaspar said.

“They are happy to get some extra spending mon-

ey and it helps them develop skills for the next stage in life. We often have kids come back for references for other jobs or college.”

Local businesses and industries sponsor teams.

FOR

Teams are comprised of 4-to 6-year-olds for T-ball; 7 and 8 year olds for baseball rookies; 9-10 year olds for baseball minors; 11-12 year olds for baseball majors; 13-15 year olds for Babe Ruth teams for boys.

Girls teams are 7-8 year olds for the rookie team; 8 and under for the minor league; 10 and under for the major league; 12 and under and 14 and under softball leagues.

“Although the MYBSL organized in 2007, this is our first year to be independent,” Gaspar said. “We will play other independent teams from Aurora, Mt. Vernon, Sarcoxie, Cassville and Marionville.”

In T-ball, each player gets a trophy. For other divisions, the first-place team receives a trophy and other participants receive medals.

“The kids love it,” Gaspar said. “We’re not only teaching the basics of the sport, we’re teaching teamwork, discipline, rules of the game and skills.

“They make some new friends who might not play on the same team as their best friend from school.”

Teams form an uncommon bond in these games.

“Some of these kids here today were here eight years ago when they started T-ball,” he said. “They’re here today, still playing.

This is almost a family that we’ve built.”

The program is dependent on volunteers, including board positions and coaching slots.

“We could not have been as successful as we are had it not been for our volunteers,” Gaspar said.

League members continually seek ways to improve the fields and programs benefitting area youth.

“We host four to six fundraising games per year,” Gaspar said. “We are constantly looking for ways to improve the fields.

“We constantly get compliments from other teams on our park. We really have to credit the city of Monett for that.”

Neighbor reaching out for relief should have his hands slapped

DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend and I live next to a married couple our age we have befriended.

Unfortunately, the husband has been making unwanted advances toward my girlfriend. Being friendly with them both, we have kept it to ourselves so as not to hurt the wife. She’s ill and has been in and out of the hospital.

The husband is approaching my girlfriend saying he needs “stress relief” because his wife is ill. We now feel something needs to be said to the wife, but we still have to live next door to them.

We’re at a loss.

What’s the best way to handle this?— HAD ENOUGH IN FLORIDA

DEAR HAD ENOUGH: The next time this man hits on your girlfriend, she should tell him bluntly that it’s not her job to “relieve his stress.”

That is his responsibility. She should also tell him if it happens again she’ll tell you AND his wife what he’s up to.

As to being friendly with this couple in the future, FORGET IT. That bridge was burned the first time he stepped out of line.

DEAR ABBY: I have a colleague who’s a drama queen.

Perhaps I’m a little

don’t have time to listen. If you say it often enough, Sharon will find someone else to listen. Trust me.

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY bit guilty, too, but “Sharon” talks excessively about her personal life. There’s the boyfriend who doesn’t support her and their 2-year-old child financially or emotionally, her mom who suffers from many medical conditions, and her neighbor whose daughter was murdered some months ago. Sharon’s life seems to be a magnet for drama.

My colleagues and I have lent our ears and our shoulders to cry on. I have also tried to advise her (like you do) to no avail. I have now reached my limit.

Is there a tactful way to deal with her? We work in proximity at least half the time, so total avoidance is not possible.— INUNDATED IN HAWAII DEAR INUNDATED: If Sharon asks you for advice, tell her you don’t have any more to offer. And if she starts dumping on you, handle it by saying kindly, but firmly, that you need to work and

DEAR ABBY: Do you have any advice for fathers who don’t listen to you? Or fathers who are too protective and don’t know how to let go?—STARGIRL IN MICHIGAN DEAR STARGIRL: My advice to fathers would be to form as close a relationship with their daughters as they can while the girls are little. Teenage girls whose fathers are involved in their lives tend to engage in sexual activity at later ages.

However, whether a father is “too protective” may be a question of perspective—the father’s or

the daughter’s. I have heard many adults say in retrospect how much they appreciate that their parents were strict. But I have rarely heard the contrary.

READ BOOKS • ENTER CONTESTS • WIN PRIZES 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.
