BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO OCT. 26-NOV. 1, 1934 • The Monett Park Casino was converted into a perfect haven for Halloween revelers for the annual frolic on Oct. 31. A profusion of black and orange crepe paper in festoons and drapes, intermingled with black cats, skeletons and other emblems of the gala season. The frolic was one of the gayest and most enjoyable dances held recently.

• The Halloween celebration was more quiet than usual on Oct. 31 and little property damages was reported.

A few cars were soaped, some windows on the side streets carried this decoration and a few car owners found the air let out of tires. Street lights were off most of the evening due to a short in the line. This may have been an advantage to property owners as the pranksters could not readily locate birdbaths and loose articles around the homes.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO OCT. 26-NOV. 1, 1944 • Monett’s cavortin’ Cubs continued their victory march to make it five straight as they needled Neosho’s Wildcats nicely to send them home as “Mildcats” on the short end of a 25 to 12 final score. The Monett charges proved once more that they have the stuff that champs are made of when they came growling back in the second half to come from behind in a rip-roaring rally, scoring two touchdowns in each of the two final frames.

• School Superintendent E.E. Camp made a report to the school board

regarding spiritual training in Monett schools following a questionnaire turned in by teachers. The report revealed that there are many books and stories of a spiritual nature on all the grade levels.

Also it was disclosed that in the elementary schools nearly every teacher opens each day’s session with a short prayer or the Lord’s Prayer.

SIXTY YEARS AGO OCT. 26-NOV. 1, 1954 • Thirty-six students at Monett High School are leading double lives.

They’re spending half a day in classrooms just like the other students and the other half on the job, learning a trade through the school’s Cooperative occupational Educational program.

The Monett school and local business firms have cooperated in this program since it began in 1939. This was only four years after the very first COE in the nation was attempted in Florida.

• Viga Hall made his network television debut on Oct. 31 during the closing moments of Art Linkletter’s “People Are Funny” TV show. Hall, son of Mr. and Mrs. V.B. Hall of Monett, was shown preparing for his coast-to-coast hitchhike journey selling “My Sin” perfume from a bucket.

FIFTY YEARS AGO OCT. 26-NOV. 1, 1964 • Bill Willis, car merchandising manager of Ford Motor’s Kansas City district, told Monett Kiwanis members that car sales, including imports, for calendar year 1964 have passed 6 million and should surpass 8 million for the first

time in the history of the industry.

• One hundred years ago, on Oct. 28, the last battle of the Civil War west of the Mississippi River was fought near Monett in the Newton County community of Newtonia.

FORTY YEARS AGO OCT. 26-NOV. 1, 1974 • Miss Betsy Garrett, a student at the University of Missouri in Columbia and daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Garrett of Monett, has been named 1974 National Outstanding Youth Volunteer, college division, by the National Foundation of the March of Dimes.

• Father Val Reker has been appointed pastor of St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Monett and will assume his duties on Nov. 8. Father Reker, who presently serves in Dexter, will fill the vacancy left by Father Joseph Brophy, who has been appointed chaplain at St. Vincent’s Hospital.

THIRTY YEARS AGO OCT. 26-NOV. 1, 1984 • Installation of an automatic teller machine was being completed this week at United Missouri Bank of Monett. The Diebold Company of Springfield’s new Diebold 9000 ATM will enable customers to withdraw, deposit and check balances of their checking and savings accounts.

• Monett’s Advanced Warning System was activated on Nov. 1 following the reported touchdown of a tornado in the Corsicana area.

A series of sirens sent hundreds of people seeking shelter in designated areas. Monett High

Kindergarten children at Monett’s Central park School weren’t easily identified by teacher Mrs. Floyd Stewart on Oct. 29, 1954 as the entire class reported for school decked out in traditional Halloween fashion. The youngsters visited other classes in the school. Pictured, front row from left, are: Jon Aber, David Nelson, Jerry Allred and Larry Buenning. Second row: Max Etter, Bill Richardson, David Spencer and Eddie Gray. Back row: Johnny Caine, Lynda Jo Hensley, Terry Dean Wormington and Susie Magerstaedt. File photo/The Monett Times School principal David Sippy said this was only the second time since he has been with the school system that emergency procedures have been activated with students in class.

TWENTY YEARS AGO OCT. 26-NOV. 1, 1994 • In a major management change at Jack Henry and Associates, the board of directors elected Michael E. Henry, who joined the company in 1979, to serve as chairman and chief executive officer Michael Wallace, who has been with the company since 1981, was elected to serve as president and chief operations officer. Jack Henry and Jerry Hall, company founders, will continue

to serve as senior vice president and executive vice president.

• In a vote on Oct. 30, Wells Aluminum employees rejected the company’s final contract offer. Union officials have declared their intention to go on strike by the end of the week if the company’s position does not change.

TEN YEARS AGO OCT. 26-NOV. 1, 2004 • A land dedication ceremony was held on Oct. 31 by the First Baptist Church in Monett for property

recently acquired for the church’s new location on the south edge of the city off Highway 37. The church has been location at Fourth and Dunn for more than 80 years.

• “With a little help from friends,” the Southwest Area Career enter at Monett took a big step toward bringing a new building within reach. On Oct. 27, U.S. Senator Christopher “Kit” Bond announced he had secured passage of another $1.2 million in funding for the $9 million project.

Wining and dining in southwest Missouri

Ozark Mountain Wine Trail features numerous local vintners

all is in the air and harvest time is nearly over.

For Missouri vintners, it’s time to crush the grapes and let them begin their fermentation process, which will then develop into some of the nation’s best wines. In turn, that allows wine enthusiasts to enjoy a weekend touring the Ozark Mountain Wine Trail, sampling various home-grown and bottled vintages in southwest Missouri.

“Most wines in the United States, Europe and France have their roots in Missouri,” said Dwight Crevelt, owner of 7C’s Winery in Walnut Grove. “A nematode, phylloxera, killed nearly all the grapes in vineyards in Europe and three men, Hermann Jaeger, George Hussman and Thomas Munson, shipped boxcars of native American rootstock, which is resistant to the disease, to Europe and saved their vineyards. The same disease hit California

in the 1990s, and they had to replant all of their vineyards there, too.

“So, all of California wines are grown on Missouri rootstock. It’s everywhere in the world. Grafted to other varieties, these sturdy plants are now growing grapes for winemaking.”

Crevelt, who has opened 7C’s Winery in 2009 with his wife, Jean, their children and his mother-in-law, has five acres of wine grapes maturing on his property.

“We’re about three years out from harvesting our own grapes for production,” said Jean Crevelt. “In the meantime, we buy grapes and fruit from local suppliers.”

The varieties maturing on their property include Chambourcin, Catawba, Traminette, Vignoles, Vidal, Golden Muscat and Missouri’s native Norton grapes.

Until their own grapes are ready for use, the couple buys juice from other vineyards to make their signature wines.

“All Missouri wines must have at least 85 percent Missouri-grown products in the processing,” Dwight said.

“We get grapes from other vineyards, CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

Jim and Jan O’Horo, owners of White Rose Winery and Bed and Breakfast in Carthage have four acres of wine grapes they use in their winemaking process. They age their wines in French oak barrels rather than the preferred stainless method of most modern vintners. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

At competition, awards are given to groups of wines in various categories on the basis of a blind tasting. The awards are frequently bronze, silver, gold, and double gold medals. Many Missouri vintners have competed in prestigious events nationally, taking home top honors for their submissions. Missouri wines rank in top categories alongside their peers from Sonoma Valley and Napa Valley, in California, as well as other other regions in the United States. Amanda Solak/Connection Magazine

as well as apples from Marionville, red plums from Springfield, and pear, blackberries and pumpkins grown in the Walnut Grove area. The only fruit used in their process not locally grown are the Bing cherries, shipped in from Washington.

“We make reds, whites and everywhere in between,” Dwight said.

“We stop the fermentation process at a stage where we like the flavor.

That way, we don’t add sugar or juice back into the vat like other wineries.”

The rootstock, and the soil in which it is grown, are the most important elements of winemaking.

“It takes several years to build up the rootstock,” Dwight said. “The first year, we picked the flowers off so the energy went back into building the root system. By the fourth year, we’ll pick only half of the blossoms. By the fifth year, we might harvest a small crop.”

Soil quality has a direct impact upon wine quality in three ways. The physical properties of the soil

Most modern vintners ferment wine in stainless steel vats. These vats are easily sterilized and readied for reusing while the more traditional oak casks can only be used up to four times before being replaced. French oak tends to add more aggressive tannins, a slight perfumed aroma and sharp aftertaste. American oak is usually characterized as adding vanilla, spicy, creamy, or even lemony flavors.

impact water-holding and rooting capacity, and the chemical composition of the soil influences plant growth and development.

The biological status of the ground impacts pest and disease pressure on vines. The physical, chemical and biological composition of a soil in which vineyards are grown is dramatically linked with wine quality.

“Vintners have been hybridizing forever,” Dwayne said. “Through grafting or pollination, they try to come up with a variety that consistently provides quality fruit.

For instance, when they crossed the v. labrusca and v. vinifera in North America and Europe, they combined the wine quality of vinifera with the superior disease and cold resistance of labrusca.”

The couple makes 11 varieties of wine: Stagecoach, a crisp, dry white; Branding Iron Red, a dry, medium body vintage with a hint of pepper; Norton, a full bodied, spicy vintage made from native Missouri grapes; Round Up Red, a semi-dry, mul-

common. Honey, blended with fruits, flowers and other essences combines to make mead.

“We are the largest mead producers in the state,” Dwight said. “All of our honey is purchased locally, except for the poplar. There are over 180 identifiable, distinctive flavors of honey, which in turn makes uniquely-flavored meads. It all depends on what plants the bees are pollenating.”

7C’s is one of 150 mead producers in the nation.

“In addition to environmental factors, the way vines are trellised has an impact on their flavor,” Woody said. “The more foliage exposed to the sun manufactures more sugar, which equals more grapes.

Woody developed an interest in winemaking when he lived in California in 1990 to 1992.

Their specialty wine, Spiced Apple, is a tribute to Apple Butter Makin’ Days. Spiced Apple, made with a proprietary spice blend, pairs well with ice cream, fruits, cheeses and other light appetizers.

Woody creates over a dozen varieties in his small distillery, where fermentation is completed in stainless vats and aging in plastic barrels.

While many traditional vintners age their products in oak barrels to marry their vanilla essence with the liquid elixir, the concept can carry over to plastic barrel aging with oak chips added for flavor.

Plastic aging is a growing trend in the industry today. While plastic barrels aren’t expected to take over the industry completely, they allow for smaller batches and blending, and are easier to store that their traditional oak peers. Additionally, plastic barrels are easily cleaned and can be reused indefinitely, compared to CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

wooden barrels,which are harder to clean, subject to mold and can only be used three or four times before becoming flower planters.

Williams Creek Winery features varieties in both red and white, with and without the oak essence from added chips.

Grapes are grown locally in the Williams Creek Vinyard or purchased from vineyards in Cassville, Mt. Vernon and Greenfield.

“We bottle based on the taste,” Woody said.

“We press our own grapes, ferment, age and bottle right here. The wine ages in a tempera-

ture-controlled setting.”

Varieties include Seyval Blanc, Vidal Blanc, Chambourcin, Norton, Creekside ERd, Creekside Sunset, Creekside Picnic, Vignoles, Apple Wine and Spiced Apple Wine.

In Carthage, a bit o’ the Irish be with the owners and proprietors of White Rose Winery and

Bed and Breakfast.

Himself Jim O’Horo and Herself Jan O’Horo bought the property in 1998 and planted four acres of wine grapes, including Chambourcin, St. Vincent, Cayuga, Villard Noir, Maréchal Foch, Cabernet Franc and Norton. They are more traditional in their

winemaking approach, aging their products in French oak barrels.

“It’s an extra step that has to be taken,” Jim said.

“It makes better wine.

“The length of time it ages varies. A new barrel gives up its flavors faster.”

Their specialty wine, Lady in White, takes two

years to make.

“We sweeten with sugar, pears and honey,” Jim said. “There are no added sulfites, so there are no headaches or allergies with this wine.”

The Sweet Lady in White, a vintage Jim calls “liquid candy,” has a variety of dessert uses.

“Pour it over your

The Monett Times Midweek buttered pancakes at breakfast, or over ice cream after dinner,” he said.

O’Horo learned about winemaking in Italy, visiting the home of a college friend.

“Everyone in the family taught me how to make

wine,” he said. “I learned the science of it and started making small batches.”

The couple opted to open the Bed and Breakfast in 1999, offering guests traditional Irish fare for lunch and dinner, and serving high

Search for husband stumbles over scars on woman’s legs

D

EAR ABBY: I am a 21-year-old woman from the Philippines. I have been insecure all my life. I know I have a pretty face, but I have a lot of scars on my legs from childhood. Because of this I am depressed, unhappy and insecure. I never wear shorts, skirts or dresses that show my legs.

Do you think there is some guy somewhere who will love me despite my scars? I’m well aware that guys like sexy ladies with flawless skin. I hate the way my legs look, and I doubt I will ever find a husband. Please help me.—INSECURE LADY

DEAR INSECURE: Please quit putting yourself down.

Sometimes we women can be our most severe critics. If you stop looking for reasons men won’t like you and start concentrating on why they WILL, you may have better luck.

Men like women who are fun to be around, who are kind, intelligent, honest and who don’t play games. A man who would reject you because of scars on your legs isn’t a person you need for a lasting, meaningful relationship.

DEAR ABBY: My dog got my neighbor’s dog pregnant, and my neighbor kept it secret so she can sell the pups

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY and keep all the money.

I know this because her son told me so.

My dog died this week and I really want one of the puppies.

I can’t afford to buy one at $300. Does the family of the father of the pups have any rights?—MISSING MY DOGGIE DEAR MISSING YOUR DOGGIE: Pets are supposed to be spayed or neutered to prevent this sort of thing from happening.

I’m sorry for the loss of your beloved dog.

If the pregnancy was unplanned, the owner of the female is not obligated to provide a puppy or compensation to the owner of the male. Perhaps out of compassion your neighbor will relent and give one to you.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for more than 15 years to a man who refuses to kiss me. We kissed briefly on our wedding day (long enough to take a photo) and have not done so since then.

This past New Year’s Eve instead of the tra-

ditional kiss on the lips, he gave me a kiss on the head and a peck, akin to what you’d see between close friends.

He says the human mouth has many germs in it.

Abby, I dream of being kissed. I know the possibility of it happening during my marriage is close to nil. What can I do? I am wellgroomed and practice good oral hygiene.— DOING WITHOUT SOMETHING NICE IN WASHINGTON DEAR DOING WITHOUT: It has been 15 years since you have been kissed and you’re writing me about it only NOW? Was your courtship this way, too?

Relationships wither without affection. Your husband appears to either be germ phobic or passive aggressive.

Unless he is willing

to talk to a counselor about it, nothing will change. I hope he’ll do it before you meet someone else under the mistletoe or at the stroke of midnight.

Dogs welcome at museum about, well, dogs

BY BETH J. HARPAZ AP Travel Editor

ST. LOUIS — Exhibits include dog paintings, dog sculptures and displays about famous dogs. But what really makes this St. Louis museum unique is the visitors: Dogs are welcome, and curators aren’t worried about the canines knocking things over or making a mess.

“We do it and have been doing it for many years, and to my knowledge it’s never caused a problem,” said Stephen George, executive director of the American Kennel Club Museum of the Dog. “The dogs are trained and socialized well. Little dogs, big dogs, in-between dogs. ... We have dogs here virtually every day,” he said, adding with a laugh that people are more likely to cause

problems in museums.

The museum, housed in an 1853 historic home in Queeny Park, is affiliated with the American Kennel Club. Its exhibits include a Hall of Fame that honors champion dogs from various competitions, along with dogs from pop culture, such as Rin Tin Tin, and service dogs of distinction, like those that have done search-and-rescue work.

The museum also hosts guest dogs so visitors can learn about various breeds, and offers space for dog club meetings and dog trainings. A lecture series includes an upcoming program Nov. 2 on Jim the Wonder Dog, who lived in Marshall, Missouri, and gained a reputation in the 1930s for supposedly being able to predict competition winners and the gender of unborn babies.

The museum was founded in 1982 in New York City, but moved to St. Louis a few years later. George, who took over the museum about a year ago, says the museum still relatively unknown. It attracts about 10,000 visitors annually, but he hopes to broaden the outreach.

One of the most striking things about dog paintings is how hard it is to guess their age. When art depicts people or objects, there are often clues to the era from dress or decor. But a dog painted in the 19th century may not appear all that different from a dog painted in the 21st century.

The museum relies on donations and bequests, and it doesn’t claim to have a comprehensive survey of famous dog art — there are no William Wegman weima-

raners, or Cassius Marcellus Coolidge’s images of hounds playing poker. But it does have some noteworthy pieces, including Maud Earl’s “Great Dane at the Seashore,” and several 1830s works

by Edwin Landseer, who painted Queen Victoria’s dogs.

There are also unusual artifacts: century-old dog collars, a carved canine from a 19th century carousel, even antique dog toys.

As for the numerous displays of porcelain figurines, George says they are all fine art — including Royal Doulton pieces — not the “kitschy stuff” found in gift shops or grandma’s curio cabinet.

“There are a lot of works that people don’t understand that we have here, so it’s an awakening experience for a lot of people,” he said.

EPA approves new weed killer for engineered crops

BY MARY CLARE JALONICK Associated Press

WASHINGTON — The Environmental Protection Agency has approved a new version of a popular weed killer to be used on genetically modified corn and soybeans.

The EPA said Wednesday that it will allow the use of a 2,4-D weed killer called Enlist Duo, a new version of the popular herbicide used since the 1940s. It is designed to be used with genetically modified corn and soybeans approved by the Agriculture Department last month.

The seeds are engineered to resist the herbicide, so farmers can spray the fields after the plants emerge and kill the weeds while leaving crops unharmed.

The agriculture industry has anxiously awaited the approvals, as many weeds have become resistant to glyphosate, an herbicide commonly used on genetically modified corn and soybeans now. Enlist includes a combination of both the new version of 2,4-D and glyphosate.

Critics say they’re concerned the increased use of 2,4-D could endanger public health and more study on the chemical is needed. The USDA has predicted that the use of 2,4-D could increase by an estimated 200 percent to 600 percent by the year 2020.

The EPA said in a release that the agency’s decision reflects a large body of science and that officials used “highly conservative and protective assumptions to evaluate human health and ecological risks.” The EPA said the herbicide meets safety standards for the public, agricultural workers and endangered species. This is the third time EPA has reviewed the safety of the herbicide in recent years.

2,4-D is now used on other crops, including wheat, and on pastures and home lawns. It is the world’s most popular herbicide and the third most popular in the United States, behind atrazine and glyphosate.

Groups lobbying the agency to prevent its expanded use say they are concerned about 2,4-D’s toxic effects and the

potential for it to drift. Corn and soybeans are the nation’s largest crops, and the potential for expanded use is huge.

Dow AgroSciences, which manufactures Enlist, says the new version has been engineered to solve potential problems, like drift before and after the herbicide hits the plant.

To further address concerns, the EPA is requiring a 30-foot buffer zone where the herbicide can’t be sprayed. The agency is also requiring farmers to stop spraying if wind speed is over 15 miles an hour. And the approval announced Wednesday only allows the use of the weed killer in six states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, South Dakota and Wisconsin.

The agency said it is taking comments on whether to register the herbicide in 10 additional states: Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Dakota.

Critics have expressed additional concern that weeds will eventually become resistant to

the herbicide, as they have glyphosate. EPA says it is requiring better surveying and reporting of weeds to try and get ahead of that problem, and the approval will expire in six years, allowing EPA to revisit the issue of resistance.

Opponents were unmoved.

The advocacy groups Center for Food Safety and Earthjustice each indicated they were considering lawsuits.

“EPA has turned its back on those it purports to protect — the American people and our environment,” said Andrew Kimbrell, executive director for Center for Food Safety.

3 months

Farmers said the tools are needed to combat growing weed problems across the country. Weeds resistant to the glyphosate can invade fields and spread quickly, sucking up needed resources and causing lower yields.

Pushing for the new herbicide’s approval has taken “determination and patience,” said John Linder, an Ohio farmer who is a member of the National Corn Growers Association.

Dow AgroSciences said it would announce in the coming weeks when it will start marketing Enlist.
