BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO OCT. 19-28, 1934 • Four heavily armed men robbed Mr. and Mrs. Ed Salzer and Philamena Bauman, in holding up the Brown Gables in Monett on Oct. 18. In a week that included “Pretty Boy” Floyd being shot to death in Ohio, the robbers were pursued by Sheriff Shore and escaped into the Roaring River hills. For the first time, Headquarters Battery, Missouri National Guard mobilized at the request of the sheriff to join the hunt if called by Governor Park. • “There is something of a blow-up in the Big 8 over the introduction of gridirons illuminated with flood lights and night games. Monett and Neosho have the flood lights. They say flatly they won’t play in the afternoon. The receipts at the Monett games, when played in the afternoon, ran from $50 to $70. At one of their night games, they took in $450. This explains why these two schools are so obdurate in sticking out for night games,” reported the Lamar Democrat. SEVENTY YEARS AGO OCT. 19-25, 1944 • The cigarette and cigar situation is becoming more and more acute, with distributors reporting the available support for domestic consumption of 30 to 40 percent on cigarettes and 40 to 50 percent in cigars. The War Production Board also reported continued shortages of hides and leathers. Military requirements are making steep inroads into the national shoe supply. The output of leather soled civilian

shoes was over 40 million pairs lower than it was in the same period of 1943. • On Oct. 25, Mr. and Mrs. Efton Henson of Aurora signed a five-year lease on the Broadway Hotel, announcing plans for complete redecorating, completing the dining and banquet rooms in 30 days. SIXTY YEARS AGO OCT. 19-25, 1954 • Seven years ago on Oct. 20, the Vaisey-Bristol Shoe Company manufactured its first pair of Jumping-Jack shoes at its modern, expansive plant in Monett. Each year since then production and shipments have increased until now the factory is going “full blast.” • At the homecoming parade, the Monett High School science club float won first place with a telescope and flying saucer, under the banner, “Let Us ‘Atom;’ We’ll Knock Em to Mars.” Queen Carol Ann Lackey watched the Cubs beat Nevada 25-6. FIFTY YEARS AGO OCT. 19-25, 1964 • A heavy walnut harvest has resulted in a virtual overloading of machinery and storage space at area receiving stations, and a drop of $1 per hundredweight in the market price since last week. Cars and trucks are lined up from Third and Front Street to Central Avenue every morning, waiting to unload at the Farmers Exchange. • Rapid progress is being made on the erection of the four tons of rigid frame steel beams for the Wells Aluminum building, which began on Oct. 21. The 30,000-squarefoot factory building on the MIDC tract is expect-

ed to be completed in early November. FORTY YEARS AGO OCT. 19-25, 1974 • Starting time of Monett schools, beginning on Oct. 28, will be 20 minutes earlier than at the present time due to the return of standard time across the nation. High school will convene at 8:15 a.m., junior high at 8:18 and elementary school at 8:20. Closing time will be 20 minutes earlier. • Renovation of the rustic Jolly Mill on beautiful Capps Creek began this week. Hydraulic jacks were used to make the structure completely level, resting the mill on huge steel beams while awaiting the pouring of concrete to provide a new foundation to replace the slab rock on which it was originally built. THIRTY YEARS AGO OCT. 19-25, 1984 • Lawrence County Clerk Bob Bartelsmeyer has announced the polling place for the Forest Park precinct in Lawrence County will change from St. John’s Lutheran Church, Eight and Park, to the First Presbyterian Church, 700 Sycamore. The one-level Presbyterian Church has better accessibility, Bartelsmeyer said. • With Pierce City voters scheduled to vote on Nov. 6 on permanently contracting with the county for police service, continuing the agreement begun in April, a petition bearing the names of 337 Pierce City citizens was presented on Oct. 24 to the Lawrence County Court, calling for the immediate termination of the contract.

Hubert Friend, pictured above, advertised in October 1954 that his Friend Tire Company had received a railroad car full of Seiberling Safe-Aire nylon tires and he was ready to do business. At that time Friend Tire was located at 515 E. Broadway and the company’s advertised phone number was 32. Frank Seiberling invented grooved tires in 1908. File photo/The Monett Times TWENTY YEARS AGO OCT. 19-25, 1994 • The Ozark Festival Orchestra presented Mendelssohn’s oratorio “Elijah” on Oct. 22 at the First Baptist Church in Monett. Former music director David Goza returned to conduct the performance, which was dedicated to the memory of Harrell Hall, longtime orchestra board member who died in July. • The Monett City Council has scheduled a hearing over a request to annex around 115 acres from six different landowners on the south side of town. The

proposal from H and M Development includes a plan to build nearly 100 homes in a subdivision off Highway 37. TEN YEARS AGO OCT. 19-25. 2004 • The Monett City Council annexed in Highway 60 east of Monett for the length of Bryce Oaks Golf Club on Oct. 20. The annexation was part of plans for a

second tax increment financing district, which includes the golf course. • Ground was broken on Oct. 23 near Monett for the Berean Christian Academy, the new Christian school that opened this fall, holding classes presently at the Easyville Fundamental Methodist Church. The school now has 17 students.

Heirloom seeds making waves in hobby farms More people turn away from GMO, pesticide-treated produce BY MELONIE ROBERTS

reporter@monett-times.com

eople are wanting to eat more healthfully, and in an effort to do so, have turned away from genetically-modified seed crops and meat sources that have been enhanced with growth hormones and antibiotics for more organic food sources. Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds in Mansfield is striving to meet the growing need for heirloom seeds — not only for local farmers, but those across the nation as well. Since Baker Creek Seeds was estab-

Kenna Peters cradles one of the various hand-crafted dolls for sale at Baker Creek Seeds in Mansfield. Other crafted items offered at the store include handmade quilts, placemats and napkins, bookmarks, pillowcases and more. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

lished in 1998, the company has been dedicated to providing non-hybrid, non-GMO, non-treated and non-patented seeds and now offers over 1,600 varieties of heirloom vegetables, flowers and herbs in the nation. Many of those offered at Baker Creek are from Asian and European stock. Jere Gettle, founder of the company, believes seeds need to be treasured and preserved—not patented, genetically modified and controlled by the world’s most unethical chemical corporations. “Since the introduction of GMO crops, farmers have seen drastic

declines in the populations of honey bees, butterflies and other pollinators,” Gettle said. “Frogs, fish and other wildlife are also in decline.” “I remember the gardens we planted when I was a kid,” said Benjamin Thayer, a Springfield resident. “The food you get in stores now just doesn’t taste the same. Especially the tomatoes.” Thayer and his wife plan to grow heirloom seeds in containers on their porch next spring. They are looking for plants that can be easily grown and maintained in buckets. “We want to get good soil to plant

the seeds,” Thayer said. “We don’t want to use dirt from the yard in case it’s diseased. We’re not able to get out and do much, but, for the two of us, growing a few vegetables will be good, and I think better for us.” Kenna Peters, a Pierce City resident, also prefers the heirloom seeds to those that have been genetically modified. “If you’re using seeds they have put Roundup in, anything you get from that plant has Roundup in it too,” she said. “You’re eating Roundup, and that’s poison. Who knows what effect it CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

can have on people?” The Environmental Protection Agency has ruled that food can now contain up to 30 times more of the herbicide Roundup, a farm chemical linked to cancer and other diseases. Gettle and his family make seed collecting trip overseas, and this year discovered several new varieties. “We had incredible summer trials on varieties from far and wide, as well as trying to grow every type of seed we sell each year,” Gettle said. “We want to make sure they grow not only in our seed lab, but also in the garden.” Guests can purchase their own selection of seeds per packet or collections of seeds picked by employees and packed in an airtight can. Seeds on the collection will remain viable for 4-10 years if kept cool and dry. The Southern collection includes 50 packets of seeds that feature varieties of tomatoes, peppers, fruit, squash, herbs, flowers, peas, beans, carrots, corn, broccoli, brussels sprouts, beets, cabbage and more.

Each collection comes with Clyde’s Garden Planner which can be used to evaluate the best time to plant each of these in this area of southwest Missouri. For novice gardeners, the company has several publications, including a monthly magazine, Heirloom Gardener, and publications concerning good bugs, beneficial plants, vegan cooking, and the world’s largest seed catalog, bearing photos and descriptions of thousands of flowers and vegetables. Baker Creek is not all about seeds. They have a variety of shops that offer everything from hand-crafted soaps to loose leaf tea mixtures, quilts, dolls, home decor and more.

Woman’s first marriage is over, but thoughts of her ex linger D EAR ABBY: I have a serious problem that’s consuming my life. I know people say you never really get over your first love, but I don’t know why after six years I still think about my ex on a daily basis. Abby, I am happily married. My husband is the perfect man for me—understanding, sweet and patient. My ex, “Chad,” cheated on me with other women and recently married the one who effectively ended our relationship. I thought I had moved on, but I can’t seem to stop thinking about him. My ex and I had a strong chemistry—not just a physical one—that my husband and I don’t. Somehow I wonder if, while my husband is the man of my dreams, Chad was my true soul mate. I don’t want to jeopardize my marriage because of a lurking shadow from my past. How do I get over this and move on?—DESPERATE FOR ADVICE IN CALIFORNIA

DEAR DESPERATE: Old habits are hard to break, and sometimes memories do linger to the point of being intrusive. While it can be frustrating, this is not an indication that someone who cheated on you multiple times was your “soul mate.” If you had been meant to be together forever, you

jobs, and again when I lost my job in the recession. Am I selfish for wanting to keep my savings off limits?—MR. SAVINGS

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY would still be together. Consider yourself lucky that another woman freed you from that unhealthy relationship so you could find the man you married. What you may miss is tension, drama, uncertainty and pain, and that’s not love. The sooner you quit idealizing your ex, the more clearly you will recognize this. And if the unwanted thoughts persist, consult a therapist because your problem is not unique. DEAR ABBY: While I was growing up, my parents taught me and my siblings to always keep a year’s salary (pre-taxes) in a savings account that one never touches. The problem is my bride and I feel that we’re ready to buy a home, although we don’t have enough in our joint savings to make a down payment. She feels I should use my savings to make the down payment. I don’t feel right about it because this savings technique has saved me twice in my life. Once when I was a child and my parents lost their

DEAR MR. SAVINGS: No. I happen to agree with your fiscally conservative philosophy. You learned from experience how important an emergency fund can be. Because buying a home is not an emergency, wait until you and your wife have saved enough for the down payment. Also, because the money in that savings account was yours before marriage, it may not be a joint asset, and it could save you a third time if you don’t spend it. DEAR ABBY: My stepdaughter, age 18, has recently begun to send her father text messages while we are in the same

room, rather than speak to him. It’s as if she doesn’t want me in on the conversation. I find her behavior rude. If they need to speak privately, so be it—she can wait until I’m out of the room or request to speak to him elsewhere. But I find it impolite of her to send him texts. They are nothing confidential in nature, just general conversation. What are your thoughts on this?— BYSTANDER IN NEW YORK

DEAR BYSTANDER: What your stepdaughter is doing is as rude as when two people whisper to each other in front of a third person. My thought is that your husband, out of consideration for your feelings, should either tell her—or text her—to cut it out.
