BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO JULY 20-26, 1934 • The Safeway store in Monett, which moved from 418 E. Broadway to the Mansfield building at 314 E. Broadway, held its formal reopening on July 21. The store is very attractive and is spic and span in every detail.

A large force of salesmen will be employed for the opening.

• Grant Mendell, who has been with the Railways Ice Company for 18 years, offered tips from his experience. If you have damp matches, put them in the refrigerator. If you want to get cool, wring out a blanket and hang it up in a room. It will reduce the temperature 10 degrees.

If salt won’t pour, put it in the refrigerator. Low humidity of 14 has made it possible for people to stand the present extreme heat.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO JULY 20-26, 1944 • In recognition of “Get A War Job Week,” July 23-29, The Times ran a special supplement from area employers, declaring “Food is Ammunition,” “Working here gives you the opportunity to do your full share in hastening victory,” promotions for the Women’s Army Corps as “good soldiers,” and an ad showing men and women leaving a factory with a headline: “You can help fight the war in this plant.”

• A capacity crow was expected on July 21 at the Junior Chamber of Commerce Athletic Field for the benefit for St. Vincent’s Hospital, featuring Jack Baker and

his KWTO Show, three performers from Camp Crowder and bands from Monett, Mt. Vernon, Marionville and Verona.

SIXTY YEARS AGO JULY 20-26, 1954 • After 15 years as chief pilot for Shell Pipe Line Corporation, J.E. Wagner, of Tulsa, Okla., former Monettan, retired this month. From 1919 to 1929, Wagner and his brother Harry operated an airplane factory in Monett until it was destroyed by fire. He was one of two men first hired in June 1939 by Shell for pipeline air patrol.

• The new stone and brick Frisco depot at Pierce City opened. The structure replaced the frame structure that burned in September 1953. The new flooring is concrete painted red and the building has fluorescent lighting.

FIFTY YEARS AGO JULY 2-26, 1964 • Some 500 people reportedly enjoyed Monett’s new $122,500 on opening morning on July 22. Mayor V.B. Hall cut the blue ribbon marking the official opening.

Over the first two days, 1,600 attended the pool.

• Paving operations began on July 23 on the $3.2 million project to build a modern 24-foot wide Portland cement roadway from Monett to Cassville. The 18.2mile route will follow old Highway 37 for the most part, going west of Purdy, Butterfield and Cassville.

FORTY YEARS AGO JULY 20-26, 1974 • Longtime Monett educator Miss Mary Helen Willhoite gave

In 1954, boosters of Pierce city’s second annual rodeo, organized by True Owen, held a promotional tour to Monett, Granby, Neosho, Joplin and Webb City, among other towns. The lead vehicle carried a public address system for announcing the rodeo was held July 29-31 at the Pierce City rodeo grounds. Nearly 100 cowboys were expected to compete in bronc riding, calf roping, bull dogging and Brahma bull riding. Shown at left are Jimmy Flaherty, Robert Renkoski, Kenny Wrobleski, Sam Wellon, Leon Moore and Roger Jones; at right, Mrs. Jack Jones, Mrs. True Owen, Charles Ridpath, Mary Lou Ridpath, David Jones, Joyce Klein, Gary Moore, Rosalee Young, Maura Larkin, Diane Wilks, Michele Jones, Judy Crawford, Sandra Daniels and Sara Jane Wilks, with Jimmy Larkin above.

the introduction during the 50th anniversary of Monett Assembly No. 2 of the Order of the Rainbow for Girls. Willhoite served as the sixth grand worthy advisor of the Grand Assembly in 1931.

• Petitions calling for the organization of an ambulance district in a 10-township area began circulating. Proponents seek 750 signatures by July 29 to secure a public vote in the November election.

THIRTY YEARS AGO JULY 20-26, 1984 • Dr. William Rooney, family practice specialist, has announced he will open an office in the clinic under construction at 815 Lincoln, northwest of

St. Vincent’s Hospital. Dr. Rooney just completed a three-year residency in Kansas City.

• Over 60 young netters from Missouri and Arkansas participated in the first Monett Junior Tennis Tournament on July 20 and 21, playing 66 matches at the two Monett city parks. Mike Dollar and Mark Cruz took first place in the boys 15 and under doubles division.

TWENTY YEARS AGO JULY 20-26, 1994 • Monett School Superintendent Dr. Charles Cudney described plans for the new Monett High School as having its entrances on the north, with the south side fac-

ing Business Highway 60.

Connecting the two wings of the campus would be the library, and an enclosed commons area with a stage for assemblies.

• Earthmoving began at the site of the new St. John’s Regional Health Center affiliated clinic in Monett. The architect’s drawing of the two-story structure shows the two-story building facing Cleveland at Fourth street.

TEN YEARS AGO JULY 20-26, 2004 • Around 800 people gathered in the Monett High School gym for the

formal homecoming ceremonies on July 22 for the soldiers of Charlie Company from the 203rd Engineers of the Missouri National Guard, back after 15 months of active duty, most of it in Iraq.

As the soldiers began filing in, the crowd began cheering.

• The Monett Chamber of Commerce awarded 280 ribbons, 57 more than last year, at the 57th annual Junior Livestock Show. The event had the full array of drama, testing the mettle of the organizers, complete with a 20-minute shower.

Annual Jaycees Carnival makes summer return 84th annual event opens July 16

BY MELONIE ROBERTS reporter@monett-times.com

T

hey are vintage rides built by volunteers with the Monett Jaycees and local business owners that have been providing fun for area youngsters for 84 years.

“They were originally made with old Model T and Model

A car parts,” said Amanda Harbaugh, Jaycees carnival project manager. “The boats and rockets were built in 1930; the train and Ferris wheel in 1953; and the bus in 1955.”

The carnival is the major fundraiser of the year for the organization, allowing the Jaycees to provide for the annual Easter Egg Hunt and Thanksgiving basket events, as well as provide for campers at the annual Barry County Youth Camp.

“Every single year we refurbish and update the rides,” CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

The 84th annual Jaycees Carnival is coming to town. Activities start nightly at 6 p.m. Wednesday, July 16 through Saturday, July 19, and will continue to 10 p.m. with rides, games and concessions.

Built in 1930, the Jaycees Carnival boat ride is a favorite of youngsters at the annual event. Many of the rides were built with Model T and Model A car parts. Each ride is inspected by state officials for safety prior to the annual carnival.

All of the rides featured in the Jaycees Carnival were made by various Jaycee members between 1930 and 1955. The Ferris wheel, pictured above, was added in 1953.

Carnival: Volunteers who help set up will get a free wristband for child

painted, repaired, and set up to test each ride, and we would not have been able to do this if not for his efforts.”

Harbaugh also said the cars, which were broken last year, will make a return at this year’s carnival.

“Russ repaired it and made sure it was working,” she said. “The problems are fixed and we are very excited to bring it back. It was our most requested ride last year.”

Each year, Roderick Arm and Tool, in Monett, also takes one ride to refurbish it, and, if necessary, manufacture its

replacement parts, on a rotating schedule.

Jaycees volunteers start working at setting up the rides on Sunday before the carnival opens on Wednesday evening.

“It takes 20 hours or more to set up,” Harbaugh said. “Anyone who volunteers to help set up rides will receive a free wristband for their child, even if they are not a Jaycees member.”

The Junior Jaycees, comprised of youth ages 7 to 17, will also man a booth this year, with the proceeds dedicated to obtaining their Junior Jaycee Charter.

Harbaugh said. “They are also inspected by the state every year to ensure they are safe.”

Only once in its 84-year history, did the carnival not take place.

“That was in 1987,” Harbaugh said. “I believe there wasn’t enough manpower to run the carnival.”

Last year, poor weather stifled the carnival’s attendance, leading to a tough year financially.

“That really hurt our operating fund for 201314,” Harbaugh said. “We are now looking at ways to bring back other fundraisers and looking for the best way to impact the community.”

Occasionally, other calamities have threatened the annual event.

“In January 2013, we discovered the theft of all of our electrical wiring that powers the rides,” Harbaugh said. “It had been stored in a shed, and without it, all rides were unusable.”

Thanks to the generosity of area business owners, the Jaycees were able to get the rides rewired in time for last year’s event.

“Gleidt Electric donated half the cost for that project,” Harbaugh said.

“We now have the rides set up to where the wiring can be totally disconnected and secured in a safe location in the event of another break-in.”

Russ Hagar, the ride chairman, worked hard at repairing and testing rides for this year’s event.

“He’s a rock star,” Harbaugh said. “He

“We can’t make carnival work without the other businesses in town,” Harbaugh said. “And, we’re always looking for volunteers., even those not interested in joining Jaycees.”

This year, Jack Henry and Associates has donated carnival ride tickets, and city workers are hooking up lights and electrical outlets to power the rides. Weiser Tents, in Monett, has

also donated the use of tents for this year’s event.

“We keep everything associated with carnival local,” Harbaugh said.

“These local organizations are doing for the

community and we are supporting our local economy.”

The carnival targets youth ages 12 and under.

“We recommend children be able to sit upright on their own,” Harbaugh said. “That’s the only restriction we have on rides.”

Tickets are 50 cents each and available at

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.

Reader reports happy ending to engagement ring dilemma D EAR ABBY: On July 26, 2011, you posted an answer to “Jittery Future Bride in Boston.” I am that woman. I had asked you how to get my boyfriend of five years to use my deceased grandmother’s ring as an engagement ring.

I followed your advice and told my boyfriend-at-the-time that I wanted to use a family ring. I spoke with my father about it and checked with my sister to see if she would mind if I used it.

We got engaged seven months ago, and my now-husband told me he had been hoping to take the stone from my paternal grandmother’s ring, a stone from my maternal grandmother’s ring and one from his family to make a new “joining of the families” ring. We haven’t made it yet, but we all look forward to the special meaning that it will embody. We even plan to make a new setting out of the old setting. It’s a fairy-tale ending.—BLUSHING BRIDE IN BOSTON

DEAR BLUSHING BRIDE: Actually, it’s more like a fairy-tale beginning. I love the idea. Thank you for letting me know how things turned out. Not

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY many of my readers take the time to do that. I wish you and your husband a lifetime of happiness together.

DEAR ABBY: The mother of a friend of mine died recently. I offered my condolences, and since then I haven’t been the same.

I am nine months pregnant, and even though I should be excited and celebrating the anticipated arrival of our baby, all I can think about is that my mother is going to die one day. She’s 52, healthy and happy, but I can’t get it out of my mind. I have become a different person, crying at the most trivial things and often panicking that Mom’s OK. I don’t think I could make it through if anything happened to her.

Dwelling on this is affecting my relationship with my husband and my friends. How do I stop obsessing over this?—ANXIOUS IN ALBUQUERQUE DEAR ANXIOUS: A discussion with

your OB/GYN would be helpful. By the last months of pregnancy, a woman’s body is swimming in hormones. Those increased hormone levels have been known to have a profound effect on a woman’s emotions.

The solution to your problem may be as simple as understanding that once your baby arrives and your hormones return to normal, you will be back on a more even keel.

If that doesn’t happen, you may have to talk with a mental health professional—although I doubt that will be necessary. In the meantime, your mother is healthy, happy and about to be a grandmother, so dwell on the positive.

DEAR READERS: A thought for the day: The best exercise in the world is to bend down and help someone up.

“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 Giveadvertising. the gift of NewspaPublic Notice pers over news. the years have been the vehicle by which these obligations have been fulfilled.
