Back in the Good Old Days EIGHTY YEARS AGO Aug. 23-28, 1935 • Old-age pension applications under the new federal Social Security Act are expected to reach Monett next week. People must answer several hundred questions, filling six pages. Because of the filibuster by Senator Huey Long, federal funds to aid the aged, the blind, crippled children and others who were to get help under the act will not be available before January 1936.

• Dr. Curtis Marbut, perhaps the world’s greatest authority on soils who retired a year ago to build a new home six miles east of Purdy, was going to Peking, China on a scientific mission at the request of the University of Missouri. He died in Manchuria due to pneumonia. He was 72. Thus passes an outstanding son of Barry County, a man whom every civilized nation interested in soil and in agricultural progress has used.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO Aug. 23-29, 1945 • Prices of green tomatoes have dropped to the bottom and the growers from over the county are selling few, if any, at this time. The prices dropped to 2 1/2 cents and one cent per pound. The high mark reached this season was 12 cents per pound.

• Roe Bartle, national director of the American War Dads, speaking to a crowd on Aug. 23 at the Jaycee Athletic Field, asked, “Are we ready to see the G.I. Joe get that to which he is entitled?

We’re going to roll up our sleeves and fight like we’ve never fought before.

The first thing that we’re

going to ask for is adequate hospitalization for our 1 million mentally and physically incapacitated returning veterans. The Veterans Administration must provide adequate hospitalization. Men of World War I died in county hospitals all over the country.”

SIXTY YEARS AGO Aug. 23-28, 1955 • After more than 50 years, the Davis grocery store at 413 E. Broadway in Monett is quitting business. The original Davis store opened in 1900 by E.M. Davis, grandfather of the present owners, who operated the store at the present location of the Katy Downs Transfer and Storage firm at the corner of Second and Broadway.

• One of the largest manhunts in Barry County history ended successfully when Gaylen Taylor, 2, was found after 15 hours after wandering away from the family home 15 miles east of Cassville. More than 800 persons combed the area.

A mother dog seeking her two puppies that went with the boy helped lead searchers to him, crying in a heavily weeded strawberry patch.

FIFTY YEARS AGO Aug. 23-29, 1965 • Sister Mary Angeline has been named as the new administrator at St. Vincent’s Hospital, succeeding Sister Mary Clement, who will continue here as an anesthetist and operating room supervisor. Sister Mary Angeline served as hospital bookkeeper here from 1948 to 1950 and returned in 1963 from Montgomery, Ala. • Well over 20,000 paid admissions to

the Monett Municipal Swimming Pool were reported through Aug. 26.

The pool closes on Labor Day, Sept. 6.

FORTY YEARS AGO Aug. 23-29, 1975 • Moving to its new home at the Monett City Park on Aug. 28 was a 1938 Frisco caboose which will be displayed as a monument and a reminder of the important role the Frisco played in the history of Monett.

A concrete base with rails has been constructed as a foundation for the 24-ton caboose just south of the Kiwanis Kiddies Playground.

• Pierce City’s Bicentennial Crafts Show and Fair got underway on Aug. 28, continuing to Aug. 31, highlighted by patriotic addresses by Missouri Assistant Attorney General John Ashcroft and State Senator William Cason.

THIRTY YEARS AGO Aug. 23-29, 1985 • A test well at the southwest corner of the Tyson Foods parking lot has apparently produced a “gusher” with a flow of excess of 1,000 gallons per minute. “I feel like dancing down Broadway,” Monett Mayor Floyd Stewart said.

“Nothing could be more significant to Monett’s continued growth and development.”

• Destruction of the remaining dioxin-laced waste at the James Denney farm, located southeast of Monett, could be completed as early as next week by the Blue Goose incinerator, according to Environmental Protection Agency. Approximately 100 drums of solid material remain to be incinerated.

Two Monett couples, pictured from left, Mr. and Mrs. Bill Gunn and Mr. and Mrs. Jack McCaffrey, were special guests of Mr. and Mrs. Otto Graham in Chicago, Ill. for the 1965 College All Star football game. Gunn and McCaffrey won the trip in a sales contest sponsored by Mohawk Rubber Company. Graham, head coach of the All Stars and former professional star of the Cleveland Browns, hosted the winning couples in a weekend of expense-paid activities that included introductions to Bob Feller, former Cleveland Indians pitcher; Early Wynn, former pitcher for Cleveland and the Chicago White Sox; Frank Ryan, quarterback for the Cleveland Browns; and Pete Ward, third baseman for the White Sox. File photo/The Monett Times TWENTY YEARS AGO Aug. 23-29, 1995 • For Christopher Ford, taking over as Monett High School band director offers the kind of opportunity he has wanted since his own high school days.

Ford, a 1993 graduate of Southwest Missouri State University, was assistant director at Republic High School last year and director at Walnut Grove the previous year.

• Taking over as commander of Company C, 203rd Engineering Battalion of the Missouri National Guard on Sept.

1 will be Christopher Osborn. He worked in this year’s field exercise under Captain M. Merrill Stevens, who is completing her two-year tour

as commander for the Monettt and Pierce City Guard units.

TEN YEARS AGO Aug. 23-29, 2005 • After a week of relaxation, the Paul and Cyndy Teas family returned to their home at Camp Barnabas, southwest of Monett on Aug. 24, only to be blindfolded at the front entrance and transported to the site of their newly finished home. Family members appeared overwhelmed at the cheers and applause that greeted their

arrival as the “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” show completed renovations and construction at the camp.

• Framing has begun on the 3,000 square foot basement for the new building that will house the Berean Christian Academy east of Monett.

The school will open the 2005-2006 school year with twice as many students as the previous year, rising from 15 to 38.

Completion is expected in September.

ON THE COVER: One pest area farmers and gardeners have been dealing with this year is the Japanese beetle.

Tamra Saaf, with Wickman’s Garden in Monett, said there are a variety of insecticides, including spray and powder applications, that can take care of the pesky insect. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

Now is the time for fall gardening Cold frame system allows for later fall harvest

By Melonie Roberts

A

reporter@monett-times.com

popular method of gardening in the northern United States and Canada is making its way to Missouri, where weather conditions are just right for cold frame houses.

“Cold frames can be as simple or as elaborate as you want,” said Tamra Saaf, who works in the garden center at Wickman’s Garden in Monett.

“They’re used a lot in the northern United States and in Canada, but they are well-suited to Missouri’s climate as well.”

Missouri, designated as Zone 6, is accommodating to both warm- and cold-weather plants. In Zone 6, it is not uncommon for vegetable gardens and flower beds to be home to seasonal plants that can thrive regardless of the outside temperatures, resulting in a nearly year-long growing period.

Wind, soil type, soil moisture, humidity, pollution, snow, and winter sunshine are all factors used in determining a region’s particular zone factor.

“Cold frames should be situated on a slope facing the south,” Saaf said.

“People can buy kits, which can be fairly expensive, or recycle materials to make one inexpensively. Start by building a frame, or stacking straw bales in a square, approximately 18 inches at the back and 12 inches at the front. Top them with old windows or a frame covered with plastic. The windows can be opened on nice days to allow for ventilation or removed completely after the danger of frost has passed so rain can water the plants naturally. Plants in a cold frame need only be watered once a week during the dry season due to the constant condensation on the windows, much like a terrarium.

“The next step is to dig down into the soil about 18 inches and fill it with about 6 inches of a compost and fresh manure mixture. Stir that for

The mum field at Wickman’s Garden in Monett is set and being watered, waiting for the first blossoms to burst forth, heralding the fall season. Tamra Saaf, with Wickman’s Garden in Monett, said some of the plants had been a bit stunted due to some hungry bunnies, but all should be healthy and ready to go in the next couple of months. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com the first week, until it settles, and then top it with a good garden or planting soil. There is no need to fertilize. The manure and compost mix generates its own heat during the cold season, so not only do you have a cold frame, but a hot box to start seedlings.”

Some vegetables easily started in a cold frame include kale, endive, cabbage, leeks, collards, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, Oriental vegetables, green onions, carrots, radishes and Brussels sprouts.

“People don’t necessarily have to transplant the seedlings from the cold frame if they don’t want to,” Saaf said.

“They just remove the windows after the plants are healthy and acclimated to the outdoors, and let them grow.”

Acclimation is one step most people forget when starting seedlings in a hot box or indoors.

“When people buy live Christmas trees, they can’t take them straight out and plant them in frozen ground,” Saaf Continued on Page 7

Cold frame gardens can be as simple or as elaborate as a homeowner needs, according to Tamra Saaf, with Wickman’s Garden in Monett. This simply constructed frame utilizes baled straw and recycled windows for the main structure, which needs to be situated on a southern-facing slope. Many hearty vegetables, including kale, endive, cabbage, leeks, collards, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, Oriental vegetables, and Brussels sprouts do well in a Zone 6 cold frame, allowing gardeners the opportunity to harvest well into the fall up to the first frost.

A truck bed of flowers graces the front lawn at Wickman’s Garden in Monett, an ingenious solution for a large non-moving yard ornament. The flatbed was framed with 2-by-4s and then filled with dirt and plants. Additional framing material was used toward the front of the bed, where deeper-rooted plants were placed. Tamra Saaf, with Wickman’s Garden, is pictured pulling some stray weeds from the unusual display. Workers at the garden center have created a variety of displays for indoor and outdoor use. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

“Plants can be fickle,” said Tamra Saaf, with Wickman’s Garden in Monett. “They need soil with specific nutrients for their needs.” Saaf said plants like tomatoes don’t do well in containers unless the planting medium includes calcium enriched material. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

Planning a cold frame garden for late fall and early winter harvest takes a little planning and ingenuity, but can be successfully utilized in Missouri. the cold frame garden, popular in northern states and in Canada, can also be used in early spring to start seedlings, which can then be transplanted or left in the cold frame through growth and harvest.

To bee, or not to bee: This is no bumbling insect audit

By PATRICK WHITTLE Associated Press

APPLETON, Maine — Mad as a hornet, a bumblebee buzzes her wings in vain against the walls of the vial holding her captive. She alights briefly on the paper tab indicating her number, and then resumes scuttling around her plastic prison.

Her warden is Shaina Helsel, one soldier in a citizen army that is taking a census

of Maine’s bumblebees in an effort to secure the future of the state’s blueberries, cranberries and tomatoes amid concern about the population of pollinators.

“Time, location, elevation play a factor in what species are where,” says Helsel, a biology student at University of Maine at Augusta. “It’s an interesting thing, going out and finding a bunch of different bumblebees.

I’ve so far collected 105.”

The project is among a growing number of “citizen science” efforts around the country that are designed to motivate the public to gather data about pollinators. The Great Pollinator Project of New York City tallied nearly 1,500 observations of the city’s more than 200 bee species from 2007 to 2010. Across the continent, scientists and students at Washington State University also have tried to

galvanize the public to collect data about bees, and more efforts are abuzz elsewhere.

Maine’s counting effort is called the Maine Bumblebee Atlas, and it has a budget of about $50,000. The state has been using its website, press releases, newspaper announcements and social media to recruit volunteers — and it’s been wildly successful.

The state has signed up 106 volunteers, has another 150 in

the queue and even had to turn people away from two bookedup training sessions, says Beth Swartz, biologist for the state Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.

Volunteers include bankers, teachers, students and retired paper mill workers, she says — everyone from tree-loving conservationists to “people whose professional lives are not anywhere near focused on the outdoors.”

said. “They have to acclimate them to the cold by placing them in a garage or on a screened porch for some time. When the ground thaws, it is safe to plant them. The same

holds true for flowers and vegetable seedlings. If they’re started indoors or in a hotbox, it takes a few days to acclimate them to the outdoors so when they are transplanted,

they can thrive.”

Cold frames allow for harvesting of vegetables right up to the first frost.

Gardens should be harvested before a severe freeze. Plants can then be

overwintered in the cold frame and gardeners will be rewarded with early spring greens.

“Insects aren’t as problematic with cold frames,” Saaf said. “There is one, though, that gardeners will have to watch for — slugs. They like warm, moist conditions, and will have to be con-

trolled.”

For areas that get below 20 degrees, gardeners will want to protect the cold frame and their plants by wrapping the frame in burlap, old blankets of other insulating material for added protection. When the weather has improved, the insulating material

Cold frames can be used for non-vegetative plant propagation as well.

Popular plants include rhododendrons, camellias, azaleas and other broadleaf plants. Cuttings can be taken from September to February.

“Now is an excellent time for gardeners to build cold frames,” Saaf said. “Even now, they will be able to harvest before winter.”

Saaf said there is a wealth of information on the Internet about cold frame gardening, and the professionals at Wickman’s Garden are also available to assist gardeners with their questions.

“If we don’t know the answer, we will find out,” Saaf said. “Our goal is to help people grow the best plants possible.”

Wickman’s is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday.

Teenage boys need reliable advice about contraception

D

EAR ABBY: In my family alone, three young women have — by their own admission — gotten pregnant on purpose to get their boyfriends to marry and support them.

None of these marriages worked out. The horrible relationships were and still are hurtful and damaging, not only to the children, but also to the rest of the family.

I’m aware of several other women who have admitted to entrapping their baby daddy by “forgetting to take their pills,” so I know this isn’t just happening in my family.

Contraceptive measures for boys are limited and fallible, and I am concerned. My nephews’ mother entrapped their now-absent father, so I doubt she’ll mention this to them. How and when does a relative talk to soon-to-be teen boys about entrapment?

— ANONYMOUS RELATIVE DEAR RELATIVE: The subject of contraception should be part of an ongoing, age-appropriate conversation about sex and reproduction. Boys and girls mature physically earlier than they did decades ago, and because of the Internet they are often exposed to a wide variety of information.

I do think a warning is in order because of your regrettable family situation. However, you

offering to make reservations for your mother-inlaw and her gentleman friend at a nearby hotel or motel. And if she asks you why, explain it to her as you explained it to me.

Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby should be aware that no law dictates that a man “has” to marry a woman (or girl) he has gotten pregnant. If a paternity test proves he is the father of the baby, he IS required to support his child until the child is no longer a minor.

DEAR ABBY: My widowed mother-in-law began dating a man a few months ago. My husband and I are happy for her because he seems to be a good person. She really seems to enjoy spending time with him.

We live in Michigan and she lives in South Carolina. She told me she has asked him to come with her the next time she visits us. I have no problem with this, but I do not want them to share a room in my home because they’re not married. I have boys who are 10 and 13, and I think it would send the wrong message.

Yes, I know I’m old-fashioned. Talk about role reversal! How do I handle this? — STICKING TO IT DEAR STICKING TO IT: Handle it by

DEAR ABBY: I have neighbors whose house I go to in order to see pay-per-view fights. I split the cost of the fights and food with them. The problem is, if anyone else comes over, they don’t pitch in. Also, they eat the food I just paid half of. Another issue is I eat for one and they eat for five, yet we split the cost down the middle. How do I resolve this? — SHORT END OF THE DEAL IN CALIFORNIA DEAR SHORT END: You could try duking it out, but the most effective way would

be for you to discuss it with your neighbors, because I agree what’s happening doesn’t seem fair to you.

Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
