BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO SEPT. 7-13, 1934 • Sunday was a day of rejoicing and worship at the First Christian Church of Monett. A homecoming and note-burning marked the lifting of the church building debt, which the little band of church workers so gravely shouldered 12 years ago. It is estimated that, in that time, the church has raised $25,000 for the building and lot. • After 60 torrid, rainless days, three important farm crops are standing out as heroes of the drought. They are Korean lespedeza, alfalfa and cowpeas. In many fields, which just a short time ago appeared as dry as tinder and lifeless, there is a good 80 percent stand of alfalfa. It is like a miracle and will help to keep many milk cows on the farms and giving milk. SEVENTY YEARS AGO SEPT. 7-13, 1944 • The O.K. Tire Shop, operated by George Reser, has opened in the former Ethridge Cream and Produce building in Monett. A complete tire recapping service is offered. All new electric rubber welding equipment has been installed. • The boys of the 203rd Anti-Aircraft group headquarters and other service men will return home on furlough. The Monett War Moms’ club will hold a gala homecoming dinner for them at the Park Casino. Nothing will be left undone to make the occasion a happy one for these boys. SIXTY YEARS AGO SEPT. 7-13, 1954 • The two-day sixth

annual Lawrence and Barry County Dairy Show opened on Sept. 9 at the Jaycees Athletic Practice Field, one of the outstanding dairy events in southwest Missouri, and was attended by 2,000 people. • A citizen’s committee has been named to study Monett’s water situation after criticism by the Department of Health. Mayor L.G. Jones said plans to cover the reservoir at Seventh and Benton were made in 1941 but never advanced. Covering that and stopping use of the well at city hall, which has a cracked casing, will be as expensive as building new facilities, requiring a bond issue. FIFTY YEARS AGO SEPT. 7-13, 1964 • Footings for structural steel for the new 100-by-300-foot factory-type building for Wells Aluminum company have been formed and plans call for concrete to be poured next week, along with the base for the huge press used in the extrusion process of aluminum. • More than 800 persons attended services marking the 90th anniversary of Trinity Lutheran Church in Freistatt, reported Pastor Rev. W.J. Stelling. FORTY YEARS AGO SEPT. 7-13, 1974 • Monett’s Cubs outlasted the Bolivar Liberators 13-7 in their 1974 football season opener at MHS Stadium, marking the seventh consecutive year they have launched the campaign with a victory. • The capabilities of the new 17-rank Moller pipe

Monett Jaycees participated in the 1964 “Run for the Money,” a cross-country relay set up to raise money for the United States Olympic team on Sept. 11, 1964 between Carthage and Joplin. Among the Monettans making the run, pictured from left, were: Joe Bass, Charles J. Rowell, Roger Young, Dayton Mackey and Louis Schulz. Others running for the Jaycees were Paul Camp, Rex Kay, Gale Huffmaster, Jerry Hilton, Jerry Sebastian, Charles Kimbro, Jack Fox, Bill Thurston, Charles Ramsey, Richard Heim, Ed Croddy, Gary Bass, Larry Neff, Jerry James, Jerry Dierker, Ron Wiseley and Dr. Jerry Weber. File photo/The Monett Times organ, a centennial project at Trinity Lutheran Church in Freistatt, was shown in a “Centennial of Music” service held on Sept. 11. Professor Jerome Schwab, chairman of the music department of St. Paul’s College at Concordia, performed. THIRTY YEARS AGO SEPT. 7-13, 1984 • The first of four special services observing Heritage Month at First United Methodist Church was held on Sept. 9 at the First United Methodist Church in Monett to honor all those with 50 years or more membership in the church. • The Missouri Department of Highways and Transportation

has proposed rerouting Business Highway 60 by going directly west from 14th Street on Cleveland to Central, where it would intersect with Highway 37, bypassing the downtown area of Monett. The business route currently turns south at 13th Street to Broadway. TWENTY YEARS AGO SEPT. 7-13, 1994 • The work of three postmasters in Monett toward making the Monett Post Office accessible to the handicapped culminated on Sept 9 in the dedication of a ramp at the front of the Fourth Street facility. “We’re proud that Monett is barrier free,” said postmaster Mike Williams.

• United Missouri Bank of Monett has applied to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for authorization to establish a full service branch at 300 S. Kyler in Monett. TEN YEARS AGO SEPT. 7-13, 2004 • EFCO Corporation held a welcome home reception for seven soldiers returning to the company from active duty in Iraq and Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom. State

Representative Larry Gene Taylor was on hand to present each soldier with a signed resolution from the Missouri House of Representatives. • Jimmy Chastain, a graduate of the Monett High School Class of 2004, won first place in the Learning Disabilities Association of Missouri’s Art Competition Contest. Chastain’s winning entry was a book he authored for children entitled “The Fish Who Cried, ‘Hook!’”

Cubs fans enjoy the fine art of tailgating

It’s not all about the hot dogs BY MELONIE ROBERTS

reporter@monett-times.com

ailgate parties, or parking lot picnics, are a growing trend at many of today’s sporting events and concerts, providing fans the opportunity to engage in the social aspect of gathering for a common cause. The trend started in the United States, and the concept quickly spread from football parking lots to include non-sporting events events such as concerts, weddings and barbecues. Tailgating brings those of similar minds, at least about football, music and fun, into a micro-community for a short time to enjoy feasting on everything from traditional picnic fare to exotic dishes fit for a restaurant. CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Hunter Williams, Blake Spain, Isaac Long, Jason Kurima, Garrett Linahan, Zach Turner and Colton Randles started tailgating last fall, taking their pickup truck picnics to the parking lot at various home football, volleyball and soccer games at Monett High School. “We play games and enjoy ourselves,” Spain said.

The Monett Booster Club hosted a field-warming party to celebrate the first home game played on the Burl Fowler Stadium’s new turf field last Friday. Booster Club members cooked over 500 hamburgers and hot dogs, distributed along with chips, water and soft drinks, for free to those attending the inaugural game against the Seneca Indians on the newly-installed turf.

The Cubs football team was ready to take the field against the Seneca Indians last Friday night during the inaugural game on the newly-installed turf at Burl Fowler Stadium in Monett. Players, fans and family members had the opportunity to participate in the tailgate party, hosted by the Monett High School Booster Club, held from 5:30 p.m. to game time Friday evening. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

“We started tailgating last fall,” said Blake Spain, Monett senior. “We just started doing it out of the pickup bed at home games.” His game-day set-up now includes a small tent, a table, a grill on which to roast hot dogs, coolers filled with soft drinks and ice, as well as a host of condiments, chips and snacks. From the pickup

truck and tent, streamers of caution tape carve out a small patch of grass. “We play games, play music, and just enjoy ourselves,” Spain said. The regular crew consists of Isaac Long, Jason Kurima, Garrett Linahan, Zach Turner, Colton Randles, Hunter Williams and Spain. “It fun and good times and raises school spirit,”

Turner said. The MHS Booster Club generally hosts two tailgating events per year. “We started about seven years ago,” said Brian Wiseman, a booster club member. “We started setting up about 3:30 p.m. and we’ve been cooking ever since.” The booster club cooked 500 hamburgers and hot dogs to give away

invest time and effort into tailgating parties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Football and tailgating just go together,â&#x20AC;? Wiseman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The track was closed all summer,â&#x20AC;? said Brad Hansen, superintendent of Monett Schools. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The field and track have been under construction all summer and patrons have not been able to use them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We hope they are happy with the results, and this is our way, the school boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s way, of expressing its appreciation.â&#x20AC;? Tailgating at the collegiate level is another party animal altogether.

Some games played at collegiate level tailgate parties include ladder ball, sholf, washer pitching, and the drinking games, beer pong and flip cup. Ladderball is a game that involves throwing two balls connected by a string onto a ladder, usually constructed out of PVC pipe. Each ladder has three rungs, each rung scoring a different point value. The balls, suspended on the ladder score the points for that rung, often with the goal of getting at least 21 points to win.

See The Tent Raising Between 9:30 & 10:00 am

Sholf, a combination of shuffleboard and golf, has players taking turns putting golf balls into scoring zones printed on a putting green. Players take turns putting golf balls, trying to score points, bump opposing golf balls off the green, and protect their own golf ball from bump-offs. Washer pitching is similar to horseshoes but uses washers and a box with a hole as a target. Games are typically played to 21 points. Local tailgaters typically play frisbee or other lawn games for their pregame celebrations. Food options can include typical picnic fare, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips and drinks, or slightly more upscale offerings and fall favorites such as chili, cowboy nachos, which features marinated beef brisket, artichoke and spinach dip and chips, roasted jalapeĂąos, buffa-

lo chicken wings, shrimp and pineapple poâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;boys, meat pies or empanadas, and southern favorites of mini muffulettas, kabobs, bacon wrapped filet mignon, gumbo dip, chili cheese dip, breakfast rolls for early kickoffs, and cookies, cakes and other portable desserts to finish off the perfect meal. Tailgating fare is typically prepared ahead of time and refrigerated until game time. At any level, tailgating brings a community of people together in one place for food, fun and, for a short time, a fanbased family, sharing in the excitement and celebration of the game. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not about the hot dogs, but camaraderie and friendship. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We go to most of the home games,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not just football. We go to soccer and volleyball games as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We just get out there and get it done.â&#x20AC;?

Plans to share a room hit a snag over mom’s snoring

EAR ABBY: My son’s out-of-town wedding is coming up. My mother will attend and be traveling with me. I am single, and my mom is also single. She’s planning on sharing a room with me. Abby, my mom has a severe snoring problem, and I’m a very light sleeper. I cannot sleep with a snorer! I don’t want to ruin my time at my son’s wedding, and she’s upset about the added expense of another room, which neither of us can really afford, but I don’t know what else to do.— MOTHER OF THE GROOM DEAR MOTHER OF THE GROOM: The separate room may be a luxury you can’t “really afford,” but incurring the expense may be worth it so you won’t sleepwalk through your son’s wedding. I’m not recommending earplugs because, while they may dull the racket, they won’t completely eliminate the sound of severe snoring. P.S. If your mother’s physician doesn’t know about her snoring, it should be discussed so the doctor can make sure it isn’t a symptom of a serious health problem. DEAR ABBY: My

jealous that she wasn’t the person in the pool, which is why she didn’t speak up during the party and you had to hear it weeks later secondhand.

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY son has two children who are in temporary foster care, and has visitation with the ex’s stepsister, who got the right to grant visitation. Recently we had a birthday party for them. All the grandparents, aunts and uncles were invited. It was a kiddie party, of course, and I jumped into the pool and played with the children. We had a ball! A few weeks later, I heard the stepsister’s mother had said I had “no business” playing in the pool with the kids. I was taken aback. Isn’t that what grandmas are for? I love playing with the little ones. Was I wrong for not “acting my age”? Did I make a fool of myself? The custody fight is ongoing and I don’t want to do anything that would jeopardize my son winning custody.—WORRIED IN NEW YORK DEAR WORRIED: I don’t think you did anything inappropriate. I suspect the stepsister’s mother was

DEAR ABBY: On July 31 you printed my question about throwing a 25th anniversary party for my parents. I want to let you know that instead of taking on an expensive dinner that I can’t afford right now, I’m collaborating with a cousin to have a chef come into their home to prepare a nice meal for them and the people who participated in their wedding. I felt it was a much more personal and cost-effective way to give them the nice anniversary they deserve. Thank you for your advice!— SON OF SILVERS

DEAR S.O.S.: I’m delighted you wrote to share your solution. The idea is terrific. I am sure your parents will be thrilled and other readers will appreciate your ingenuity. Thank you!

“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.
