Back in the Good Old Days EIGHTY YEARS AGO Nov. 1-7, 1935 • Old Jack, Charles Russell’s black and white foxhound, stolen from the farm fence where he was tied three years ago, turned up in a fox hunt in Carthage. The owner claimed to have bought him from a Kansas man, but gave him back to Russell after the man who raised the dog from a pup described him in detail. Jack recognized his old owner and fawned over him. The man who sold the dog failed questions and is likely to face arrest. Jack is glad to be back home with his “own folks.”

• On Nov. 4, Mrs. George Erickson of the Monett Bakery had a visitor who asked if he could have 10 cents of bakery goods and he would pay when he reached Fayetteville.

SIXTY YEARS AGO Nov. 1-7, 1955 • Monett contractor M.E. Gillioz, 78, is looking forward to 1956 as the greatest year of operations since he started 42 years ago, with well over $5 million worth of projects “in the fire.” One of his most recent accomplishments was building the 4,000-acre Fellows Lake, northwest of Springfield, costing $2 million and taking 12 months to finish. Dedication is set for Nov. 11.

• Missouri Attorney General John Dalton was in Cassville on Nov. 6 for the dedication of the historical marker highlighting the Civil War history of Cassville at the north edge of town. The marker site was donated by Mrs. John McFarlin.

The parade marched down Broadway from Second to Fifth Street and back to the judging stand on Fourth between Broadway and Front.

• Southwestern Bell Telephone Company will take over the Freistatt

Mutual Telephone Company as a result of a petition signed by 117 members of the Freistatt Mutual, a patron-owned operation. The tentative switchover has been set for September of 1966.

There are approximately 175 patrons in the Freistatt exchange area.

FORTY YEARS AGO Nov. 1-7, 1975 • Only minor work remains before the attractive brick building on the corner of Sixth and Bond streets in Monett will be ready for occupancy by the Monett Branch of the Barry-Lawrence Regional Library. Shelving for books has now arrived, said David Doennig, regional librarian, and installation in underway before moving some 20,000 books and other publications.

• Bids for building a new Monett sewage treatment plant came in $467,000 higher than the engineer’s estimates. The low bidder on the plant quoted nearly $5 million.

The pumping station contract low bid was was $458,138.70.

• An organizational meeting for a new chapter of the Disabled American Veterans to serve the Monett area was held on Nov. 6. The new chapter is being organized by Crossroads Chapter No. 41 of Carthage and will be the first chapter of the

Two electronic posting machines were in service by November 1965 at the Gillioz Bank and Trust Company in Monett. The postronic posting machines were manufactured and installed by the National Cash Register Company. The new machines used a ledger card with a magnetic strip on the back which encoded the individual customer’s account number and recorded the current balance. When checks and deposits were posted, the machine automatically picked up the old balance from the magnetic tape, thus saving time and reducing errors. It also prevented posting checks and deposits to the wrong account. Joyce Phillips, seated, operated the new posting machine while Lorenna Wormngton, assistant cashier, held one of the new ledger cards with the magnetic tape on the back.

TEN YEARS AGO Nov. 1-7, 2005 • Ending a fine 2005 football campaign with a 7-3 record, the Monett Cubs defeated the Aurora Houn’ Dawgs 37-0. The Cubs took advantage of three fumble recoveries

The new machines cost $121,000.

Essential oils: Not just room-fresheners Pierce City woman has many uses for oils

By Melonie Roberts reporter@monett-times.com

W

hen people think of the term “essential oils,” they often associate it with air fresheners and aromatherapy, but there is more to the science, according to Shelly Cox, of Pierce City, also a dōTERRA advocate.

“It’s said the wise men took frankincense and myrrh to Jesus,” Cox said.

“It was the most valuable thing they had. It was also one of the most difficult things to harvest.”

Christian and Islamic Abrahamic faiths traditionally use frankincense, known as the “King of All Oils,” mixed with additional oils to anoint newborn infants, initiates and members entering new phases of their spiritual lives.

For hundreds of years, it has been used for treating arthritis, healing wounds, strengthening the female hormone system and purifying the air.

Cox said infusing the oil into the air could be beneficial in many ways, especially to those suffering from memory issues.

“I don’t diagnose, treat or cure,” Cox said. “I do know [essential oils] help the body stay well and function at an optimal level.”

Cox said her experience with essential oils has pretty much reinvented her medicine cabinet.

“I don’t want to use a chemical compound when a natural one will work,” Cox said. “For instance, with insect spray, I won’t use a product continent DEET when I can use something natural. I worry about what goes into our bodies through the air, on our skin or by what we eat.”

Some popular oils that repel insects include citronella, clove, lemongrass, rosemary, tea tree, eucalyptus, lavender and mint.

“There is a lot of research being done on essential oils today,” Cox said.

“I would recommend anyone interested in using them educate themselves about the best ways to use them and their benefits. I can point people to some good resources, as well. I’m con-

The company not only offers essential oils, but nutritional supplements and products promoting weight loss, personal hygiene, and health. Cox has her own story of how she benefitted from using dōTERRA products.

“Everybody is suffering from something,” she said. “About six or eight weeks before I was introduced to essential oils, my foot started hurting badly. I suffered several weeks, got special shoes, took cortisone shots and was taking lots of pain killers. Nothing was working. After using dōTERRA Continued on Page 7

doTERRA offers a wide variety of essential oils, from the “basic 10” to the Diamond Kit, which features over 39 wellness and personal care products, as well as over 50 bottles of essential oils for home, health and beauty. Melonie Roberts/reporter@monett-times.com

PICK

THREE

Murray’s top picks for the week

1

Halloween weekend offers a chance for classical music orchestras to trot out the spooky music. One of the nearest shows is in Tulsa, with the Tulsa Symphony under former Springfield Symphony music director Ron Spigelman at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Chapman Music Hall at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center, 110 S. Second St. Selections include two pieces from Disney’s “Fantasia”: the J.S. Bach Toccata and Fugue in D major in the Stokowski orchestration and Dukas’s “Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” plus music from “Pscyho,” the “Addams Family” musical, the 1935 “Bride of Frankenstein,” “The Wizard of Oz,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “Batman,” “Star Wars,” “Flight of the Bumblebee” and John Williams’ “Adventures in Cinema.”

2

If you’d like an early warmup to your Christmas season, try the stage version of “A Christmas Story: the Musical,” opening at 7:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday at the Hammons Hall for the Performing Arts in Springfield.

Jean Shephard’s story of Ralphie and his quirky family debuted as a stage production in Kansas City in 2009, made it to Broadway in 2012 and is now on the road in a touring production that is well timed, sharply produced, with music and lyrics by Scott Davenport Richards added. Critics say the film translates well into a nostalgic theater show.

3

If more traditional hauntings sound more appealing, try the Missouri State University’s Folklore Club’s offering of 50-minute tours through the MSU campus every 20 minutes, beginning at 7 p.m. on Thursday and Friday from Plaster Student Union in Springfield, sharing well-known ghost stories in and around Springfield.

Tales have been gathered over the past 15 years, and include the Fountain Ghost, the Hag of Wells Hall, the haunted rooms of Freddy, the Dorm Mom and more. Tickets are $4 per person or $10 for a group of three at the Plaster Student Union.

Murray Bishoff is a veteran theatergoer, traveling weekends to many of the venues within driving distance, from Tulsa to St. Louis. From dance recitals to operas, he’s been there and shares his recommendations.

doTERRA contracts with small growers in nearly 260 countries to obtain the best natively-grown plants for its products. A number of factors go into determining the quality of the plant, including the soil, growing conditions, and the peak harvest time. doTERRA has worked to form cooperatives with local growers in many communities around the world, offering higher pay, fair prices and long-term partnerships for the raw ingredients that go into the company’s essential oils.

Oils: Believes there is place for natural solutions alongside traditional care

supplements for a couple of weeks, I was doing dishes and noticed my foot was no longer hurting.

“These have changed everything: my mood, motivation and improved relationships. When you feel good, it affects every area of your life. Now I feel called. This is a way

for me to help other people feel better.”

The oils are a primary focus of the company, which suggests novices begin their experience with the top 10: lavender, lemon, peppermint, melaeluca, frankincense, oregano, and the compounds that make up On Guard, for immune

support; Breathe, for healthy respiratory support; Deep Blue, for sore muscles and joints; and DigestZen, which helps restore normal balance in the digestive system.

“People have used these for centuries, and we’re just now getting back to using natural oils to take control of

their bodies and support a healthy lifestyle,” Cox said. “I certainly don’t discount traditional medicine, but as a first line defense, I’m for trying something more natural.”

Plants used in the making of dōTERRA products are naturally sourced from their country of origin.

“The quality of the plants are dependent upon their growing environment, farming and harvesting practices

and region,” Cox said. “dōTERRA is forming partnerships with small growers in about 260 countries. By making our lives better, we’re also helping make their lives better. This company helps create cooperatives and empowers growers and their families in these countries.”

Cox gives classes on essential oils and their benefits twice a month and can also make arrangements meet indi-

viduals and small groups at their homes or other locations.

“I believe there is a place for natural solutions alongside traditional healthcare,” she said. “To me, it’s been life-changing, a journey of self-discovery. I now feel I am the person I want to be.”

Perris, 80 miles southeast of Los Angeles, Taya Weiss, the jump’s lead organizer, said Tuesday. It shattered the old record set by 42 flyers in June.

Weiss said the record was verified by a panel of judges from Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the international group that keeps track of skydiving and other aviation-related records.

One judge on the ground witnessed the jumpers leap from three separate aircraft at 13,500 feet, create the formation and then break apart at 5,500 feet. Two other judges reviewed photos of the jump later and confirmed Monday it was official.

“It was an absolutely incredible experience,” said Weiss, who was also one of the jumpers. “We’re a very small community, although we’re growing, and to get everyone together from all over the world, especially to achieve such a difficult goal, is very rewarding.”

Wingsuit flyers from 12 countries — including the United States, Canada, Britain, Australia, Russia, Poland, South Africa and Israel — took part.

Weiss said the flyers actually broke the old record twice Saturday.

After 50 people went out for a first jump there was time for a second one, so 11 more joined in.

61 wingsuit skydivers set formation record over California Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Sixty-one wingsuit skydivers have flown into the record books, creating a diamond-shaped formation while soaring over California before breaking apart and floating to the ground.

The group set the record for the largest such formation Saturday at Skydive

Small investment in smoke alarms reaps big benefits

D

EAR ABBY: Printing this letter could save some lives — maybe even your own.

In the United States, eight people die every day (on average) in house fires. Tragically, about half of these deaths could have been prevented with an inexpensive device that takes just a few minutes to install and costs only a few dollars to maintain.

I’m talking about smoke alarms. Smoke alarms are the cheapest life insurance money can buy. They are one of the most successful public health innovations in history, but 71 percent of smoke alarms that failed to operate during the last year had missing, disconnected or dead batteries.

For the 28th year, the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) is proud to partner with Energizer, the manufacturer of batteries, flashlights and lanterns, in the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program. Together, we’re asking your readers to make sure they have working smoke alarms that have been installed correctly, and to test their existing batteries — or install fresh ones — in conjunction with the end of daylight saving time on Sunday, Nov. 1.

In a fire, seconds count. A working smoke

Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby alarm can literally mean the difference between life and death.

This program ensures that residents will have a WORKING smoke alarm, giving them and their families the critical early warning needed to escape a fire. That precious time also helps to protect firefighters, reducing the likelihood they’ll have to enter a burning home to rescue someone trapped inside.

Learn more about the program by visiting energizer.com/firesafety or the IAFC at iafc. org. Readers should also check with their local fire departments because many of them offer discounted or free programs to install working smoke alarms in low-income areas in their communities.

Thanks, Abby. — FIRE CHIEF RHODA MAE KERR, IAFC PRESIDENT AND CHAIR OF THE BOARD DEAR CHIEF KERR: I’m pleased to publicize your lifesaving effort. Readers, daylight saving time is also lifesaving time. Changing

and testing the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when setting the clocks back can save your lives and the lives of the people you love.

Every family should also have a fire safety evacuation plan and practice it so that everyone is prepared to evacuate should an emergency occur. A great start to establishing that safety plan is to recognize that this is the ideal time to buy and install those batteries.

DEAR ABBY: My husband was going to a meeting at the home of a fellow temple member.

Because I was baking for a cookie exchange and had plenty available, I sent a lovely plate of cookies with him. The hostess thanked him, but didn’t serve them.

I’m fine with that. But

as he was leaving, she presented him with the still-wrapped plate and said she “couldn’t possibly” accept them. Is it me, or is that odd? — COOKIE BAKER

DEAR COOKIE BAKER: Yes, I think it’s odd — unless the hostess or someone attending the meeting had a severe allergy to an ingredient that might have been in the cookies, such as nuts. While it was not unusual (or rude) to not use the gift of food in the meeting, it WAS odd to return it.

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

Men and women sacrifice in service to their country for many reasons.

Secrecy in government is not one of them.

State law requires government entities at all levels, from water districts to city councils and school boards, to place notices of many of their activities in a legal newspaper. This is a legal newspaper.

A printed notice in this newspaper can’t be hacked into like a website. It’s permanent. The date in the corner proves it was printed when required. It can be trusted without question in these times when trust in government is so low.

Would a similar notice posted somewhere on the internet provide the same measure of transparency?

The answer to that is obvious.

No, it would not.
