BACK IN THE GOOD OLD DAYS EIGHTY YEARS AGO NOV. 22-28, 1935 • The Missouri State Highway Department has agreed that what is known here as the Ninth Street road will connect to the road coming south from Freistatt. The Highway Department wanted to bring it down from Freistatt to a point north of town where it would turn southwest and intersect the Malang Highway just north of the IOOF cemetery. Monett sought to have it brought on down the Ninth Street road to Monett, and the efforts were successful.

• The Southwest School Administrators Club met at the City Park Casino on Nov. 23 to hear a panel discussion on “Conceptions of the Qualifications of a Modern School Teacher.”

A panel discussion is an organized and somewhat orderly “disputation,” as Ben Franklin used to call it. But if the persons taking part had been in blackface, it might have looked like a minstrel show with the central figure the interlocutor or “middleman.”

The discussion went on in a dizzy whirl. The final conclusion seemed to be that a good teacher should be well trained, of good character, interesting as to personality, and sincere.

SEVENTY YEARS AGO NOV. 22-28, 1945 • Monett’s Cubs tried nearly every trick in their bag of plays and nearly every one of them clicked as the Cubs rolled up a 38-12 victory over Aurora’s Houn’ Dawgs in their annual Thanksgiving Day classic. Playing inspired football, the Cubs hammered away to a seemingly safe 18-0 lead at halftime, but the Houn’ Dawgs carefully disengaged the tin cans tied to

their tails and slammed back with a potent passing attack to close the gap to 24-12 at the start of the final quarter.

• Monett housewives, with no more worries over stretching red points for the family’s meals due to rationing, will find all the meat they want at local stores, providing it’s beef.

Following the end of meat rationing on Nov. 23, a survey was made of local grocery and meat markets.

Lard and pork are on the “very scarce” list. The end of rationing caused quite a stir among the buying public.

SIXTY YEARS AGO NOV. 22-28, 1955 • Dr. Thomas McClure, formerly of Taylorville, Ill., has become associated with Dr. George Peak in dentistry practice in Monett. Dr. McClure was recently discharged from the Navy after two years service as a dentist and is a graduate of St. Louis University.

• Scoring twice within lightning-like swiftness, the Monett alumni gridders, sparked by an array of MHS stars of the past decade, defeated the Aurora alumni on Nov. 24 in a bruising but well-played game, 13-0.

Nearly 2,000 witnessed the Legion Bowl game at Aurora on a chilly but ideal football day. The ex-Cubs relied on an ironclad defense to make the TDs stand up throughout the second half of the game.

FIFTY YEARS AGO NOV. 22-28, 1965 • Plans for new classrooms and vocational education buildings at Tenth and Cleveland were approved by the Monett R-1 Board of Education on Nov. 23, the same night as the kick-off drive to sell

$200,000 in bonds for construction of the new Lawrence County Baptist Association’s 52-bed nursing home. Bond sales by the next morning had already exceeded $40,000.

• Grass greens for the Monett golf course moved a step closer toward reality on Nov. 26 as the Monett Golf Association reported that $4,185 had been collected thus far toward a goal of $6,000.

Mayor V. B. Hall told the Monett Park Board that if $6,000 could be raised, the city would use $4,000 received from land deeded to the state for Highway 37 to install greens at a cost of around $11,000.

FORTY YEARS AGO NOV. 22-28, 1975 • An Award of Merit for rendering noteworthy service to Boy Scouts was presented to Don Hobbs, assistant Monett scoutmaster, from the Indian Trails Boy Scout District at a recognition banquet held Nov. 22 in Aurora.

Hobbs has served as committeeman in Cub Scouts for three years and as assistant scoutmaster for two years.

• More than four inches of snow fell by noon on Nov. 26, resulting in the mixed blessing of breathtaking beauty and hazardous road conditions for the many planning to travel for the Thanksgiving holiday.

Thanksgiving vacation for many area school children began a day early as school officials announced school was closed on Nov. 26.

THIRTY YEARS AGO NOV. 22-28, 1985 • Despite delays due to inclement weather, construction of the new facilities for V.B. Hall Wholesale Company in Monett are progressing. The foundation has

Decorations co-chairmen for the Monett Chamber of Commerce, who were in charge of erecting the Christmas boxes, reindeer, spruce roping and tinsel throughout the city’s business district on Nov. 28, 1955, are shown as they measured tinsel and prepared the traditional reindeer for erection. A total of 55 volunteer workers turned out to help complete the task despite the 22-degree weather. Pictured, from left, are: Glennon Bass, Gordon Knight and Floyd Stewart. File photo/The Monett Times been completed and steel beam erection has started. Started in September, the 12,800 square foot one-story building will house freezers, coolers and office space.

• The Lawrence County Commission opened seven bids on Nov. 26 to replace the current 111-year-old county jail.

Groundbreaking may be held by the first of the year. The present jail is one of the oldest in the state and has been determined as inadequate.

TWENTY YEARS AGO NOV. 22-28, 1995 • A joint Christmas concert of the Ozark Festival Orchestra and the combined Concert Choir and Girls Glee Choir of Monett High School has been scheduled for Dec. 3 in Monett and Dec. 4 in Shell Knob. This will be the first time in many years the

two music groups have combined for a concert.

Dr. Amy Muchnick, OFO music director, expects to present an outstanding musical experience for the community.

• Dero, Monett’s drug detection dog, has been off-duty since the beginning of October and is eager to find a new home. His last handler left the Monett Police Department, and the dog is waiting at Monett Veterinary Hospital for someone else to take up the mantle as his guardian and trainer.

TEN YEARS AGO NOV. 22-28, 2005 • Around 300 members of the Hmong communi-

ty from across southwest Missouri gathered at the Monett’s South Park for the first formal New Year’s celebration in the area.

The celebration was an allday affair. The City Park Casino was booked until midnight and was the central focus of the gathering.

• The Monett School Board approved architects plans for the new Southwest Area Career Center and renovation plans for a new fifth and sixth grade center where the Career Center presently operates. School Superintendent Dr. Charles Cudney said, “There’s definitely a general sense of excitement in the possibilities.”

Fighting the good fight against obesity Extension specialist targets children to promote healthy eating habits

BY MELONIE ROBERTS reporter@monett-times.com

Childhood obesity is on the rise, an unsurprising statistic since one in three adults are considered obese, according to National Institute of Health.

“Overweight pre-school children are five times as likely to be overweight as young adults,” said Lindsey Stevenson, a University of Missouri Extension nutrition and health education specialist.

“Children learn eating habits at a very young age, and poor eating habits can lead to excess weight gain and other health problems.”

Stevenson highlighted the six nutrient categories necessary for healthy bodies, both in children and adults: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water.

“Protein builds body tissue such as

muscle, organs and bones,” she said. It is needed for growth, brain development and healing.”

Protein should comprise about 10-35 percent of the diet. The best sources of protein include meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, legumes, nuts and seeds. For adults, that equals 5-6 ounces a day, and for children, 2-4 ounces per day.

Fats should comprise between 20-35 percent of the daily nutrition intake. Fats and oils are found in nuts, fish, cooking oil and salad dressings, among other items. Daily allowances for adults range between 5-7 teaspoons per day, and for children, 3-4 teaspoons.

Fruit, whether canned, frozen, fresh or dried, should be limited to 1.5-2 cups per day for adults and 1-1.5 cups for young children.

Dairy products, including milk, yogurt and cheese, should be limited to about 3 cups for adults and 2-2.5 cups for children, which is important for bone and muscle development.

Food from the vegetable category should comprise about one to 1-1/2 cups

The MyPlate graphic, provided courtesy of the United States Department of Agriculture, illustrates the five food groups that are the building blocks for a healthy diet using a familiar image — a place setting for a meal. More information is available at www.choosemyplate.gov. Contributed photo

per cay for children and 2-1/2 to three cups per day for adults.

“Color is important,” Stevenson said.

“Vegetables are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin C and fiber. They may protect from diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease and some cancers.”

Stevenson said parents can be creative in the manner they serve vegetables, including the red/orange groups, dark leafy greens, beans, peas and starches. Varying textures and tastes to make mealtimes more interesting.

Grains, especially whole grain foods, are another important dietary element adults and children should be incorporating into their meals.

“Adults should consume 3-5 ounces of whole grain foods per day,” Stevenson said. “Children should consume 2-3 ounces per day.”

Some examples of whole grain foods now offered to consumers include breads, pastas, rice, crackers and cereals.

“If the first ingredient on the list isn’t ‘whole grain’ something, it isn’t,” Stevenson said. “Many labels are mis-

leading.”

Whole grains can assist in reducing the occurrence of coronary heart disease, diabetes and obesity.

Stevenson said the most important element of a healthy diet is water.

“Water is needed in every cell of the body in order to function properly,” she said. “Water helps lubricate our joints and helps maintain proper bowel function. It’s important to stay hydrated for the body to work as it should.”

Stevenson said parents who model healthy eating choices for their children will find they make better choices later in life.

“There are some smart things we can do now to make important changes,” Stevenson said. “Fewer sugary drinks, low fat or skim milk dairy options, dark green leafy vegetables served at least twice weekly, and limit processed foods such as lunch meats, fast food and high fat items.”

More information on the MyPlate guidelines may be found at www.choosemyplate.gov.

Feelings hurt in high school linger long after graduation

D

EAR ABBY: I loved the letter from “Ready for the Reunion” (July 31), who wondered why some people in her high school graduating class didn’t respond to the notice of the reunion. Some of us would like to completely forget high school and everything associated with it.

I missed my 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th year reunions. I did consider going to the last one, but then I started reading my former classmates’ posts on the reunion website. It seems everyone is retired, wealthy, has numerous grandchildren, at least one retirement home in an exotic locale and spends their time relaxing and jetting around (or so they say). I’m still working, not wealthy, not particularly successful and have moved from my home state to the backwoods of middle America.

Basically, I have a boring life, so I have nothing to brag about. I didn’t go.

I’m still in contact with the important people in my life from high school and just don’t need the aggravation of attending a reunion. — STAYING HOME DEAR STAYING: Thank you for your input.

I received a large number of responses to that letter, many of which were emotionally charged: DEAR ABBY: My class just had its 45th

JEANNE PHILLIPS DEAR ABBY

reunion. I live 20 miles away, but have never attended one and I never will.

My best friend and I were bullied, insulted and excluded by our high school peers. After 45 years, we are still close friends. Neither of us has any desire to see any of those people ever again.

High school was a miserable experience for us, and we couldn’t wait to graduate and go off to college. Why would we want to socialize with them now? We forgave them long ago, but have no desire to relive those days. People need to realize that sometimes we move on and don’t need to revisit the past. — CAROL IN GEORGIA DEAR ABBY: My high school experience was traumatic to the point that it put me in therapy. People who look forward to these things look back on their high school days with fondness. I’m guessing that’s because they weren’t picked on for being fat, not coming from a rich family or being a minority.

I would rather walk

barefoot across broken glass than spend another minute with my high school class. I ignore the invitations because my mother taught me if I can’t say anything nice, I should say nothing at all. — RAY IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. DEAR ABBY: Successful turnouts often occur as a result of personal outreach from the committee. A personalized note, phone call or other kind of targeted communication (“Dear Susie, we’d love to see you again. Please come.”) will make a difference to an alum. — FORMER REUNION PLANNER IN WASHINGTON DEAR ABBY: Of the 280 missing students, for a quarter of them to be deceased would be par for the course. “Ready” should create a Facebook

Groups page for her high school graduating class.

Ours is very popular — 35 percent of our former classmates are already part of it. — PETER IN NAPLES, FLA. DEAR ABBY: It is possible that many of the graduates never received the invitation. Email contact information, phone numbers and addresses change often. I didn’t receive anything about my 10-year reunion, but a few of my friends said they did. I can’t respond to an invitation I didn’t receive. — ROD IN OMAHA 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.

“Because the People Must Know.”
