BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO OCT. 12-18, 1934 • In a presentation to the Monett Ad Club, Pearl Lewis from the Frisco Employees Club reported that the railroad has 500 employees with their families in Monett, comprising more than 1,260 people, and a monthly payroll of $62,000. The small army is made up of three yardmasters, 35 switchmen, 225 men on train crews and 12 clerks to handle an average of 1,500 cars a day through the Monett terminal, where 25 freight trains and 20 passenger trains are assembled for four divisions. • Speaking at the Kiwanis Club, Logan McKee, Noel Kirby and Harry Siebenthaler reported the leading cause of a crippled condition of children in the United States is not paralysis and kindred things, but the motor car. Speeders and careless drivers who have no regard for the lives of children playing in the street, or at crossings, schools and such places. SEVENTY YEARS AGO OCT. 12-18, 1944 • With 62 workers enrolled, and a prompt and enthusiastic start on Oct. 17, outlook for a quick and successful conclusion to the Monett War Chest campaign is considered excellent. County chairman V.B. Hall was enthusiastic over the prospect of reaching the goal of $12,500 in record time. One of the workers in the business district said, “All we have to do is to see the people, but it takes time.” • With the prospect of the tomato crop around Exeter going to waste, and manpower not available, women of that commu-

nity pitched in and have saved the crop. Practically all work at the Cain Canning Company there this season has been done by women. Herb Cagle, manager of the plant, expressed high appreciation of the fine work the women have done, adding, “The plant couldn’t have operated this season without them.” SIXTY YEARS AGO OCT. 12-18, 1954 • Rev. Charles Werbin, pastor of the First Christian Church in Monett for nearly seven years, resigned on Oct. 14, effective at the end of the year, to take the pastorate at the Oakland Christian Church in north Joplin. • Several hundred pairs of miniature shoes, owned by Betty Delage of Chicago, Ill., were on display for the week at the Vaisey-Bristol Shoe Company cafeteria in Monett. The display was on hand for the company’s second annual sales conference. FIFTY YEARS AGO OCT. 12-18, 1964 • The Monett Church of Christ at 1107 Ninth St. held an open house on Oct. 18 in observance of the completion of its new building, which has an auditorium, 12 classrooms, an office, nursery and restrooms. • Cubs captain Mike Knight crowned homecoming queen Esther Auffert before the Oct. 16 game against Webb City, which Monett lost 14-13. FORTY YEARS AGO OCT. 12-18, 1974 • The Monett Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors voted on Oct. 14 to endorse the proposed 10-township ambulance

On Oct. 15, 1954, Charles “Bitts” Brown, captain of the Pierce City Eagles football team, crowned Wanda Witt as queen of the PCHS homecoming during the halftime ceremonies against Sarcoxie, a game the Eagles won 40-0. After the crowning, Miss Witt received the traditional kiss from the team captain and sat on her throne during the second half of the game with her attendants. Others pictured are, from left, attendants Betty Frey, Marjorie Strick and Pat Honsinger, along with team co-captain Terry Larkin at right. File photo/The Monett Times district going before voters on Nov. 5. • Students in the Monett Special Education Class enjoyed a tour of the Monett Post Office on Oct. 15 conducted by Postmaster John W. Hunt, in commemoration of the first day issuance of a “Retarded Children Can Be Helped” postage stamp in Monett.

Department will also offer immunizations for senior citizens. • Sisters from southwest Missouri joined with the Sisters of St. Vincent’s Hospital on Oct. 14 for a celebration and dinner, the concluding activity in the yearlong observance of the 40th anniversary of St. Vincent’s Hospital.

THIRTY YEARS AGO OCT. 12-18, 1984 • The second annual Health Fair, co-sponsored by the City of Monett and St. Vincent’s Hospital, was scheduled for Oct. 30 at the Monett City Park Casino. Several free screenings will be offered at the event. Barry County Public Health

TWENTY YEARS AGO OCT. 12-18, 1994 • The City of Monett was among those holding stock in Jumping-Jacks/ Little Capezio Shoes, who stock has been purchased by Munro and Company, as the shoe manufacturer became a privately owned company. The city received 12.5

cents per share, having been given 13,892 shares to cover an outstanding utility bill in 1989 and 1990. The city was still owed $27,196. • Jack Henry and Associates announced formation of a new division to develop, market, install and support check imaging systems for banks and other financial institutions. TEN YEARS AGO OCT. 12-18, 2004 • On Oct. 12 the badly deteriorated steps at

the front entrance of the Hobbs-Anderson American Legion Home were torn out. Past Commander Dayton Mackey said the steps will be replaced and include a ramp for the handicapped. • The new Cox Health Systems Caremobile came to Monett for the first time this week. Staff on board the rolling medical facility were impressed with its expanded capabilities, and expected to be more effective in serving rural communities because of it.

o Halloween celebration would be complete without a ghostly moon, black cats and pumpkins. While owners of the Pickin’ Patch in Marionville can’t guarantee cats or moons, they do have pumpkins. About 15 acres of them. “My husband, Richard, has had the farm for 23 years,” said Colette Witt. “We married three years ago and I started working here.” The couple has over 30 varieties in the field, along with a corn patch which has been turned into a broomstick maze, and a small patch of asparagus. “All of our varieties of pumpkins and squash are edible,” Witt said. “Amazingly, the big orange pumpkins CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Guests at the Pickin’ Patch in Marionville have the opportunity to take a hay ride through the 15-acre property, which includes hay mazes, a graveyard, pumpkin patches, sunflowers, scarecrows and, this year, characters from The Wizard of Oz, in tribute to the movie’s 75th anniversary. Also featured this year are plenty of American Flags in honor of the 200th anniversary of the Star Spangled Banner. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

Pumpkins: Chose to honor 75th anniversary of Wizard of Oz with theme

that people associate with pumpkin pies are not the ones that are commercially canned. Those are the Cushaw variety, and some of them aren’t even orange. Some are green and white striped and others are orange and white striped.” While that may dismay pumpkin pie purists who have always imagined their pie filling coming from Charlie Brown’s Great Pumpkin variety, there are plenty of Autumn Golds and Sugar Pie pumpkins to fill the gap. “The Sugar Pie pumpkins are just the right size for school kids that come tour the Pickin’ Patch,” Witt said. “We make sure each child is able to take home a pumpkin in their

backpack after their visit.” Pumpkins range from the golf ball to small boulder sizes and are priced accordingly. “The Jack Be Little variety starts at 75 cents and prices go up from there,” said Witt. “A lot of people like the small pumpkins for Halloween or Thanksgiving decorations.” Others are of a good size to carve or paint Jack-o-Lanterns for porch displays and more. Of course, the Autumn Gold and Cushaw varieties are always good for pie-making and other pumpkin-flavored treats for the holidays. In addition to pumpkins, the Pickin’ Patch offers a variety of fallthemed activities, includ-

ing hay rides, mazes and plenty of room for picnics. “This year, we decorated in the theme of Wizard of Oz in honor of its’ 75th anniversary,” Witt said. “Guests will find Dorothy, the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man and the Scarecrow out on the farm. There is also a graveyard, an animal sanctuary and a Black Widow spider that is lurking near the woods.” Guests may also have surprise encounters with Glinda the Good Witch and the Wicked Witch of the West in the broomstick maze. There is a special “Kid Patch” at the Pickin’ Patch, where youngsters can either harvest their own pumpkin or

choose from many of the pre-harvested gourds that are strategically left under the leaves of the plant or gathered in a bunch near a fence entering into the field where hay rides originate. “I wouldn’t be able to do this without my two lifesavers,” Witt said. “Pat White and Barb Stobbe are the creative genius behind the displays and decorations at the Pickin’ Patch. “I tell them my ideas and come back an hour later to find they have done it better than I ever imagined.” Both women have their area of expertise, with Stobbe proud of the many witches flying about the property, and White designing rag curtains and displays of

‘Real Housewives’ couple get prison for fraud BY DAVID PORTER Associated Press

NEWARK, N.J. — The married stars of the “Real Housewives of New Jersey” are trading the drama of reality TV for prison. Teresa Giudice was sentenced Thursday in federal court in Newark to 15 months in prison on conspiracy and bankruptcy charges while her husband, Giuseppe “Joe” Giudice, was sentenced to 41 months. Together they must pay $414,000 in restitution. The judge said Teresa will serve her sentence first so Joe can stay home with the couple’s four children. Teresa Giudice, 42, cried as she apologized in court before her sentencing. “I fully take responsibility for my actions. I need to learn to take responsibility for myself,” she said. “I can’t even explain the pain that I have gone through. I am more sorry than anybody will ever know or understand.” Joe Giudice also apologized and said he had disgraced many people. The couple walked into court holding hands, but once inside the

courtroom, U.S. District Court Judge Esther Salas slammed them for not disclosing all their assets in a presentencing report. She said they didn’t include all the recreational vehicles they own. The judge gave Joe Guidice credit for helping people rebuild after Superstorm Sandy and other storms. The couple had pleaded guilty in March, admitting they hid assets from bankruptcy creditors and submitted phony loan applications to get some $5 million in mortgages and construction loans. Under federal sentencing guidelines, Joe Giudice faced a potential sentence of 37 to 46 months and Teresa Giudice could have gotten 21 to 27 months. Joe Giudice, an Italian citizen, could be deported after his prison term is completed. His attorney has said Giudice came to the U.S. as an infant and didn’t know he wasn’t an American citizen. Both Giudices pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and three types of bankruptcy fraud. Joe Giudice, 43, also pleaded guilty to failing to file a tax return for 2004.

Queen of Soul says new covers album feels fresh BY MESFIN FEKADU AP Music Writer

NEW YORK — Aretha Franklin says her new album brings out an excitement she hasn’t felt since 1982 and the music feels as good as Marvin Gaye’s seminal “What’s Going On?” album. “Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics” includes covers of songs including “Midnight Train to Georgia” and “Rolling in the Deep.” It was released Tuesday on vinyl but will be available digitally and in stores on Oct. 21. Franklin said there’s “a lot of electricity” around her latest CD. “I haven’t felt so up on a CD since ‘Jump to It’ (was released in 1982) or the first time one of my records was played on the radio,” she said in an

interview on Wednesday. “I don’t think I have ever been as excited as I am now.” The Queen of Soul, who sat next to longtime collaborator and album producer Clive Davis, held a listening for the album at the 92nd Street Y, a nonprofit cultural and community center. The album also includes Franklin’s interpretations of classics such as “At Last,” ‘’I Will Survive” and Barbra Streisand’s “People.” “I like all of it. I like the whole CD, from cut to cut to cut. It kind of reminds me of, I said, ‘You know, this is kind of similar to Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On?’’’” she said before the event. “You know the kind of records from cut to cut; I don’t care what comes up (but) you like it. You

like it! I think it may be that kind of album.” Davis came up with the concept and songs, which Franklin said she immediately took to. Franklin performed the Adele hit on “Late Night with David Letterman” on Monday. Franklin’s version, which infuses some of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” has more than 1.4 million views on its official YouTube post. “It’s very exciting even for those (of us) who have been in the business just a few years,” Davis said. Producers on the 10-track album include Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, Harvey Mason Jr. and Andre 3000. Franklin covers Alicia Keys’ “No One,” which is meshed with a Caribbean vibe. “I love that flavor!”

Franklin exclaimed. Davis said it was Keys who suggested that flavor from the beginning. “Because I have lunch with Alicia every several months and I discussed the prospect of it, and she did say, ‘If you do know what, I just hear a Caribbean, reggae flavor,’” he said. “And she was right on the money,” Franklin added. Davis and Franklin were excited and chatting away like old friends Wednesday — their outfits even matched. The album reunites them after a decade-long break, and they say the passion they have for music and the new project is stronger than ever. “This is no hype,” Davis said. “Right, this is no hype,” Franklin echoed.

Dad who took on fatherhood finds his title taken away

EAR ABBY: About two years ago, a close female friend, “Carla,” had her first child. The biological father is from another country. When she told him she was pregnant, he refused to have anything to do with the child, so I decided to take over the role as a father. I have been with Carla and my son since she found out about the pregnancy. When she was in her last trimester, we decided to give a shot to the relationship and become a couple. Everything was great. She had our child. When he was born, I really became a father. But after two years, everything didn’t go as we planned and we broke up. Now Carla says I’m not the father, and she won’t give my son my last name. I don’t know what to do. I really want him to be known as my son, but without my last name, everyone sees me only as the guy who is raising another guy’s son. The breakup took a huge toll on me. During our last fight, she said I should forget about being the father and accept that I’m only the godfather. Please tell me what I can do.—SAD DAD IN EL SALVADOR DEAR SAD DAD: There’s a saying, “No good deed goes unpunished,” and I think it

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY applies to you. You appear to be a wonderful, loving person, and I can see how emotionally wrenching this has been for you. However, the legal father of that little boy is the person whose name is on the birth certificate. While you have loved Carla’s child and have assumed the role of father, legally you may not be. A lawyer can explain this to you, and tell you if you have any options other than being a positive, stable, masculine presence in the child’s life. But I suspect the mother’s wishes will prevail. DEAR ABBY: Recently a friend of mine went to a ritzy gala. When dinner was served, she closed her eyes and said a brief and quiet prayer. When she opened them, the people at her table were appalled. One guest admonished her, telling her she shouldn’t pray out of respect for others. Was she wrong? What’s the proper etiquette? Should she stop saying her grace?— GRACE BEFORE DINNER

DEAR GRACE: As long as your friend said her prayer quietly and didn’t impose it upon the other attendees, she did nothing wrong. Actually, the rule of etiquette is to refrain from criticizing the table manners of other guests—and the person who admonished your friend was rude. DEAR ABBY: I met this beautiful woman online. We have been dating for a few months, and I really don’t care for her natural hairstyle and the scarves/ headgear she wears when we’re together. I have tiptoed around the issue. What should I do?—BACHELOR IN GEORGIA DEAR BACHELOR: Hair can be a sensitive issue with women. A natural hairdo is a lot healthier than coloring, perming

or straightening, all of which involve products that can damage hair. Hats and scarves are a quick solution when a woman feels she’s having a bad hair day. My advice to you is to accept her just the way she is— unless you want to risk losing her. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Contact Dear Abby at www.DearAbby. com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

“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.
