BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO NOV. 9-15, 1934 • On Saturday, Nov. 10, about 8 o’clock, a black pig trotted down Central Avenue. It seemed to be going some place in particular. It grunted its dissatisfaction at all the both caused by automobiles. That pig looked terribly out of place on Central Avenue, but no more out of place than a red pig that showed up from nowhere and entered the front door of the fire station one day. And on another day a goose came in the side door of the fire station and honked a gay salutation, looking up at the domino player slantwise. • On Nov. 12, Chief of Police Artie Ebright and Night Chief Nixon went through that hazardous task of crowding a car occupied by armed men to the curb and making them get out and identify themselves. Officers found a .38 police positive special gun fully loaded and another gun in the back seat with all numbers erased. Police held Jim Stewart, who is believed to be Floyd Melvin Hosman, wanted for jail breaking, vehicle theft and robbing a destitute old woman and her daughter near Halltown. SEVENTY YEARS AGO NOV. 9-15, 1944 • Clarence Stone of Van Buren, Ark. has purchased the H&H Cafe from H.H. Hatcher and took possession on the property on Nov. 13. Negotiations were completed between the Railways Ice Company of Chicago and G.O. Cooper of Mt. Vernon for the purchase of the Mt. Vernon Ice and Cole Storage Company. • The little community of Freistatt is working with a cheerful and energetic spirit to keep the home fires

burning and to support the government in this turbulent and oppressive time of war. Freistatt has sent 53 of its young men to serve our beloved country. SIXTY YEARS AGO NOV. 9-15, 1954 • Speaking to the Monett Kiwanis and Lions clubs during American Education Week, Monett High School principal Wayne Wright reported tests given students prove conclusively they are better prepared after 12 years of schooling than a few years ago. In the face of charges about a lack of discipline, Wright reminded audiences of the acute shortage of teachers over the nation. • Monett Street Department crews are spreading asphalt to raise the gutter levels on curbing from Second to Sixth streets to make the curbing low enough that car bumpers won’t scrape in parking and to level gutters so that during heavy rains the steams of water against the curbing won’t be so deep and easier for pedestrians to cross. FIFTY YEARS AGO NOV. 9-15, 1964 • A total of 125 members and their families attended the third annual Veterans Day program on Nov. 11 at the Monett Park, sponsored by Barry County Barracks No. 1072, of World War 1 Veterans and Ladies Auxiliary of Monett. Persons from as far away as Kansas City attended. Homer Lee of Monett played taps. • Construction continues on the $40,000, 60-foot addition to the E.F. Marsh Engineering factory, due for completion by the end of November. At the same time, excavation work has begun on the new 80,000

About 550 bags of popcorn popped by the new machine, pictured above, sold on Nov. 12, 1954 during the MonettLamar football game at the Monett stadium. The $1,005 machine, purchased by the local Future Farmers of America chapter, performed nicely, according to Curtis Weston, left, chapter advisor. FFA’ers hope to sell enough popcorn during athletic events to pay for the machine and put some money into their activity fund. Pictured admiring their 35-bushel capacity machine are FFA’ers, from left, Georald Doennig, Raymond Mayer and James Fritz. File

square foot warehouse for the Vaisey-Bristol Shoe Company on 14th Street, across from the company’s factory. The warehouse is expected to be finished by April 19, 1965. FORTY YEARS AGO NOV. 9-15, 1974 • On the first anniversary of Loaves and Fishes operating out of the First United Methodist Church’s kitchen, the organization announced a need for additional donations to continue the hot meal home delivery service, which took meals to 122 people in the past year. • Dad’s Night was observed on Nov. 8 at the Monett Cubs-Webb City Cardinals final home game of the 1974 football season. Fathers of all team members wore white football jerseys of their sons for the ceremony. Doug and

Danny Fowler represented their father, coach Burl Fowler, who is a patient at Sale Memorial Hospital in Neosho. THIRTY YEARS AGO NOV. 9-15, 1984 • Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on Nov. 11 for a new addition to the First Presbyterian Church in Monett. The addition will house Sunday school classrooms, a second nursery and offices for the pastor and secretary. • Navy Lieutenant Randy Burke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dale Burke of Monett, has been recognized in a special feature by the Navy Office of Information, focusing on the 1977 Monett High School graduate’s service as a reactor controls officer aboard the nuclear-powered fast attack submarine Hawkbill.

TWENTY YEARS AGO NOV. 9-15, 1994 • Wells Aluminum workers on Nov. 9 from the Monett and Cassville factories voted to accept a new company contract by a 168-110 vote. It was the largest number of votes cast since employees voted to be represented by the Teamsters union in April. • Seven weeks before the retirement of 39th Circuit Court Judge William H. Pinnell of Monett, around 200 friends, family and associates in the judicial system paid homage at a special retirement dinner at the Monett City Park Casino. Pinnell has served on the bench since

December 18, 1967. TEN YEARS AGO NOV. 9-15, 2004 • Monett’s newest utility is up and running, looking for new customers, and still growing as a network. That utility is fiber optics. About 24 miles of fiber have been string through the city, providing high speed Ethernet connectivity and data transfer capability equal to any commercial provider. • Pierce City postmaster Sharon Clark has received one of the most prestigious awards in the U.S. for National Achievement in Diversity. The award was presented at the Ararat Shrine in Kansas City.

Community Kitchen serves 1,200 meals per month

Monett kitchen, food bank a staple for those with food insecurity BY MELONIE ROBERTS

reporter@monett-times.com

n its fourth year, the Community Kitchen operated out of First United Methodist Church in Monett is going strong, providing meals to those who struggling with food insecurity. “We started the Community Kitchen in 2010, to fulfill a vision of several community members,” said coordinator Melissa Priest. “That first night, we served seven people. “We didn’t know what to expect. Now, we serve between 75 to 100 people each night. On Saturdays, we don’t have as many.” Volunteers with the Community Kitchen prepare and serve an average of 1,200 meals a month. “If we have extra food, we prepare to-go boxes so people will have a meal the following day,” Priest said. “The meals are totally free of charge, no questions asked.” CONTINUED ON PAGE 6

We have been very fortunate.” Priest said until this past summer, meat for the kitchen had been donated by area farmers. “They would take a

The effort is a boon to area residents who are struggling to make ends meet. “A lot of the people we serve have had their nutrition benefits cut back, and that creates greater need,” Priest said. “Others come for the social aspect.

started to attend.” The Community Kitchen is run totally on donations and volunteer labor, which come in all shapes and sizes. “We have members of the Monett High School FFA, Catholic and Lutheran ladies, church organizations, area businesses, friends and family members who want to volunteer to cook and serve meals,” Priest said. “Even though we are based out of a church, all walks of the community offer to serve and donate to the kitchen.” Nutritious meals are planned and organized by Priest. “I generally have a salad, vegetable and meat,” she said. “Nothing is fried. Sometimes, we will have an unexpected donation and the meal

plan changes. We have learned to adjust.” There are also fun nights. “Little Caesar’s Pizza, in Monett, contacted us and they provide a pizza meal one night a month,” Priest said. “That goes over very well. People love pizza.” With no government funding, there are times the kitchen’s food pantry shelves get pretty bare. “We were down to nothing,” Priest said. “EFCO had a food drive and filled it up for us. We need the basics, like canned and powdered milk for mac and cheese or other items that require milk for preparation, cereal, dishes that include meat and canned tuna.” Priest remains convinced the food insecu-

rity issue in Monett is greater than it appears. “None of us realize the need that’s there until you see it first hand,” she said. “I think there is an even greater need that we are not reaching. I know there are more people out there we can serve, especially with the rising cost of groceries. I don’t know how some families do it.” There is also an underserved population in Monett that really gets noticed: the homeless. “There are a lot of homeless teens,” Priest said. “I don’t know if they are embarrassed to be seen here or if they just don’t know we are here. “I wish there was a way we could reach out to more people and let them know we are here.” Priest urges everyone she knows to pass the word about the Community Kitchen to someone who might benefit from the service. “I know some people can’t get here,” she said. “I would be happy to drop to-go boxes off at a centrally-located location so people could pick them up. “I feel there is a greater need we could fulfill if we could just get people in the door. We are here to serve the needs of the community.” For more information on the Community Kitchen, people may call Priest at 417-236-3050.

Dinner-table bully may be victim of low blood sugar

EAR ABBY: In reference to “It’s All Good, Until ...” (Aug. 1), the woman whose otherwise easygoing husband turns hypercritical every evening at dinner, he may have hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or be pre-diabetic as my husband is. My story is the same as hers. My husband is even-tempered and a great partner—until his sugar gets low. Then he turns from Dr. Jekyll into Mr. Hyde. My advice to her is to have a doctor check her husband for those issues. In the meantime, he might start having an afternoon protein snack so his sugar doesn’t drop by dinner if that is, in fact, the problem. Peanut butter crackers are excellent.—SOMEONE WHO KNOWS IN KNOXVILLE, TENN.

DEAR SOMEONE: Thank you for the heads-up. Dozens of readers offered similar opinions about the husband’s behavior, including a registered nurse who wrote: “What’s happening may be that his blood sugar or glucose is getting too low at that time and causing personality changes. ... This time of day is crucial for people with

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY either diabetes or other insulin problems. Please suggest her husband see a doctor to have this checked.” DEAR ABBY: “Ingrid” and I have been dating for a couple of months. We’re in our early 50s and both of us have been married before. We get along fine and our relationship is proceeding slowly, but appropriately. My problem is, when we talk on the phone we don’t really have a conversation. Ingrid will talk without interruption, sometimes for five minutes at a time. I can’t get a word in. I can put the phone down and come back and she’ll still be talking. It’s not quite that bad in person, although she’s still quite a talker. Often, she’ll ask me a question, then interrupt me when I try to answer. It really bugs me. It has reached a point that I don’t want to talk to her on the phone. The calls can last 30 minutes or more, and I get bored

and irritated. How do I address this with her without hurting her feelings or affecting our relationship? She’s starting to feel my reluctance to call her back.—GETTING AN EARFUL IN ARIZONA

she will want to know if she’s doing something that’s making you back away. Being honest with her is the only way to get this fixed, if the problem IS fixable. At your ages, lifelong habits may not be easy to break.

DEAR GETTING AN EARFUL: If Ingrid is starting to feel your reluctance to return her calls, I’m guessing she has found a way to let you know. This is your opening for a truth session with your lady friend in which you explain how those phone monologues—notice I didn’t say “conversations”— make you feel. What she’s doing is rude. The cause may be nervousness, thoughtlessness, or that she’s a compulsive talker. If she cares about you,

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.

ConTEsT RulEs 1. Football Pick’Em contest is open to readers of The Monett Times, The Cassville Democrat and the Midweek. 2. Employees of Rust Communications are not eligible to participate. 3. The contest will run Aug. 20 through Dec. 31. 4. Entry forms will be published in the Wednesday publications. Each week’s picks can be turned into the Monett or Cassville offices by 5 p.m. on Fridays. Only one entry per person is permitted. Each week a weekly winner will be chosen as follows: 1. Each participant picks a winner for local high school, college or professional games for that week. 2. A participant will receive a point for each winning team chosen and no points for losing teams or if a team is not chosen. The points for all of the games will then be added for a weekly total. The one with the highest weekly total wins the weekly contest. If there is a tie, the tiebreaker will be decided by a combined score of the designated tiebreaker game or a coin flip. 3. If a game is cancelled, forfeited or indefinitely suspended for any reason, or if a game results in a tie, that game will not count in the total. There will be one overall grand prizewinner. The highest total for the 18 weeks will be the winner. In the event of a tie, the tiebreaker system outlined above will be used. • Each weekly prizewinner will receive a $20 gift certificate to a local business. There is no limit to the number of times a participant can win. Weekly winners will be announced in the Wednesday editions of the above publications following each contest week. Winners will also be notified by phone following the contest week. If methods of notification fail after seven days an alternate winner will be selected. • We reserve the right to use any and all information related to the contest, including information on entrants obtained through the contest, for marketing purposes, unless prohibited by law.
