Brody Shelby at St. Jude Children’s Hospital. (Special to Branson Globe)
Benefit to help Forsyth child and family scheduled for February 13 By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer The residents of Forsyth are rallying around a local child with an upcoming benefit. A chili supper and silent auction are slated for February 13 to raise money to help the family of Brody Shelby. Nine-year-old Brody, the son of Chad and Bobbie Shelby, was diagnosed in 2015 with an anaplastic ependymoma brain tumor. Brody battled hard and beat the cancer. He remained cancer-free until December of 2020, when he was diagnosed with a different type of brain tumor, a glioblastoma, stage 4, which is also affecting his spinal fluid. Erin Wyman, a first-grade teacher in the Forsyth School District and a friend of the family, is heading up the fundraising event. “Brody and his family are currently in Memphis, Tennessee, fighting this battle, and need our support more than ever,” noted Wyman. “They are in St
Jude’s, in the middle of doing 25 radiation treatments. Bobbie, Brody’s mom, will not be able to return to work after they return from Memphis, so this will be a real financial strain for the family. Brody also has three siblings—Bryce, Baylie and Berklee.” The benefit will be held on Saturday, February 13, at the Taney Center, located between Forsyth and Taneyville. The chili supper and silent auction will begin at 4 p.m., with a live auction set for 6 p.m. “We also have a bank account set up at Branson Bank, if anyone would like to make a donation that way,” Wyman explained. “The account is titled ‘Donations for Shelby Family’. We also have been selling ‘Team Brody’ shirts and bracelets to raise money for the family.” For more information on the benefit or to make a donation contact Erin Wyman at 417-251-2046.
By Gary J. Groman, Independent Writer Lisa Marshall, Director of Taney County Health Department (TCHD), said they are grateful for community partners that understand the importance of vaccinating Taney County residents with the COVID-19 vaccine. The Taney County Health Department (TCHD), the Branson School District, and Cox Medical Center Branson are working in partnership to expand the access to and the number of COVID-19 vaccinations given to Taney County residents. She adds that everyone is working together to “bring vaccines to our community as quickly as possible.” The partnership announcement points out that those currently eligible for vaccines include the Phase 1A group (healthcare workers), Phase 1B Tier 1 and 2 groups (first responders and high-risk individuals including those 65 and
older). It also points out that both the TCHD and Cox Medical Center are requesting vaccine weekly and scheduling clinics as quickly as it becomes available. The first steps in getting the vaccine should be to register with either the Taney County Health Department on the Taney County COVID-19 Vaccine Waiting List through www.TaneyCountyHealth.org or Cox Medical through https://www.coxhealth. com/covid/vaccine/. When vaccine becomes available, those who have registered and are eligible will receive an individual notification to set up a specific appointment by date and time along with instructions on what to bring. A separate registration is necessary for each different person, i.e., husband and wife should register separately. My wife and I have had our first shot and will receive our second shot on February 19. For us, the
process started with registering on the Taney County COVID-19 Vaccine Waiting List through www.TaneyCountyHealth.com. A few days later, we received an email with a link to set up an appointment and telling us what to bring. In our case, there was a two-day time window. As requested, we arrived at the vaccination site about five minutes before our appointment with our masks on, insurance and Medicare cards, and picture IDs. We didn’t have the signed consent form, which was attached to the bottom of the email notification, so we had to fill it out on site. About 30 minutes later, including a 15-minute observation period after receiving the shot, we were in the car heading home. There have been no adverse reactions. For more information on receiving a COVID-19 vaccination, please contact the Taney County Health Department at 417-334-4544 or through their website, at www.taneycohealth.org.
2021 Branson Home Show rescheduled The 25th Annual Branson TriLakes Building and Home Show has been postponed from the original dates of February 12-14 until May 14-16, 2021. According to President/CEO Scott Earls, owner of The Vacation Channel and producer of the Branson Home Show, “We have a responsibility to our vendors, our visitors, and our team
to produce a show that is safe for all to exhibit and to attend.” Earls went on to say, “We have listened to the ongoing reports of the expansion of COVID-19, and the hybrids of this same disease, and feel that even though we would have many safeguards in place, the risk is still too great until comprehensive vaccinations have been ad-
ministered to the general public.” Earls further stated, “Many of our exhibitors attain 50 percent to 80 percent of their annual sales from leads and contacts generated at the Branson Home Show; they depend upon our show and marketing efforts to generate the SEE HOME SHOW, PAGE 9

Elevate Branson adds a new canine staffer By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer A new face greets those who visit the campus of Elevate Branson. The nonprofit organization that strives to raise up the community in a multitude of ways now has a resident therapy dog. Theo, a Labrador/Red Heeler mix, brings smiles to the faces of adults and children alike as he works alongside Elevate Branson Kids’ Director Cathy Brown. “We had wanted a therapy dog for quite some time, but the cost was high,” explained Brown. “We had even applied for a grant to get one. Theo is a rescue dog. Frank Hirahara, an acquaintance of Elevate Branson Executive Director Bryan Stallings, is a retired Branson police officer. He works with Off the Leash Canine Training and trains dogs, along with his friend, Casey. Frank and Casey discovered Theo through Rescue One of Springfield and thought he would be a good match.” Theo, who will complete his training in March to be a full-fledged therapy dog, is already on the job. “He lives with Bryan and Amy and comes in to work every day with them,” Brown noted. “He even comes in on Sundays for Gateway Church. We really wanted him for the kids and all the neighbors we serve. Someone comes in very stressed out, and a few minutes with Theo really calms them down.” Brown explained that much of Theo’s work is with the children of
the community, many of whom are unable to have a pet at home. “On Monday and Wednesday, we have ‘Elevate Kids,’ as part of our ‘Elevate Work’ program,” said Brown. “Right now, there are four or five kids, and they hang out with Theo. On Tuesdays, we have our after-school program called ‘Light Your Spark,’ from 4:00 to 6:30, and Theo is with them the whole time. All of the kids love him. Every week, he spends more and more time with the kids.” A large amount of Theo’s time is spent in the sensory room, a room with a variety of activities designed to center and calm youngsters, including those with autism or other
special needs. Brown spoke of a young girl who got upset recently while playing with her brothers in the sensory room. The child crawled under a table to lie down. Theo noticed and crawled under the table, next to the child. After a few minutes with Theo, the child was calm and ready to play once more. According to Brown, Theo, who is estimated to be about three to four years old, is the perfect addition to Elevate Branson. “We call him our Gentle Giant. He provides a sense of calmness for everybody. Our goal is just for him to be here, to love on anyone who walks through our doors.”

Why Should You Have Tire Purchase and Tire Installation Services Performed at Lakeside Tire and Wheel? If your tires are worn or unsatisfactory, consider purchasing and installing new ones through us. When tires are worn, they won’t perform correctly. Worn tires heat up more quickly, puncture more easily, and take on roads less effectively. They may also emerge as a potential danger to their driver and other motorists. However, worn tires aren’t the only reason to install new tires. Depending on your environment and needs, it may be wise
to purchase and install new tires even if your current set is okay. This is because using tires that are unfit for your needs can quickly deteriorate them. If you need assistance finding the right tire, our expert staff can help. When you’re ready to make a purchase or install a new set of tires, let us know. We proudly service the tire purchase and tire installation needs of customers in Branson, Mo; Hollister, MO; Kirbyville, MO; and surrounding areas.

By Pat Lamb We’ve come a long way in education from the days when Abraham Lincoln used charcoal to write and studied in the light from the fire in his cabin. There was no talk of how to motivate children to learn at that time. Rather, the concern was for how to give children the opportunity to satisfy their longing to learn. Understanding the reason those of the past wanted to learn so badly helps us understand why children have the problem being motivated to learn now. Was it not that those individuals of the past wanted to better their often miserable lives? They had hope that an education would help them gain things that would make life easier. Contrast that motivating factor to today’s children who already have things pretty easy in most

cases and have no hope to make life any better. In the film “The Student,” Rodney Dangerfield had one word of advice to those who were graduating and getting ready to face the world on their own. That word was “don’t.” He said, “Stay at home with your mom and dad.” That pretty much sums up how the younger generation feels about their future. The children are
feeling pretty comfortable where they are. In addition, if they are not comfortable, they are pretty sure someone will jump in and rescue them, so why worry about their future? Knowing the reasons for lack of motivation forms the basis for choosing what to do to correct today’s problem. First of all, children must understand a need for learning. They must also develop an appreciation for the opportunity to learn. Both of these needs require straight talk giving information that many of our children have not been given. In a well-meaning effort to shield our children of worry and to ensure they have a happy childhood, we have robbed them of a facet of education they sorely need. They need to know that there is a good chance that they may not always have life
so comfortable unless they prepare themselves well. They need to be informed of enough current events and the situation of our country to understand that the future is not all that bright for them. They need to be a little frightened. Small children do not need the “full dose” of our country’s situation, but they need to know enough to sense the importance of being prepared for their future. As they grow older, they need to obtain added information. The development of appreciation for their opportunity to learn can be difficult. Most appreciation, however, comes from the home. Parents need to make efforts to be friendly and appreciative to a child’s teacher to set a good example. It doesn’t hurt

Reflections: God is more powerful than we think
By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer The frail, limited human mind simply doesn’t comprehend God. We struggle with the concept of a Creator who created, well, everything. We try to explain it in ways finite minds can understand, talking of numbers and big bangs and all kinds of things, but it’s clear we don’t know exactly how God did it; only that the Bible says he did. And when trying to understand how God works in our lives and our world today, we don’t come close to comprehending his eternal purposes and his power to accomplish them.
Cindy Thomas (FILE)
For years I’ve heard Ephesians 3:20 quoted, “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works within us. . .” The verse is often applied to everyday concerns, such as receiving an unexpected financial blessing when we only dared hope just to be able to pay the monthly bills. I’ve had one of those, and I’m thankful. Recently I met someone who prayed for a successful surgery outcome and instead received miraculous healing that eliminated the need for surgery at all. Occasionally I hear testimonies from missionary friends whose evangelism success was even bigger than they dared to dream.
As amazing as those things are, though, perhaps the verse encompasses much more in that little phrase “the power that works in us.” Throughout the Ephesian letter, power is mentioned in some amazing contexts. Chapter 1 reminds believers of Christ’s power of redemption and the wisdom and knowledge available through his power. The same power raised Christ from the dead—that’s a lot of power! Chapters 2 and 3 talk of God’s grace in revealing his word SEE REFLECTIONS, PAGE 7

for the child to know how schools were in the past and what people went through to get an education. It is a good thing for them to contrast the past with the present. It is human nature to want the things we can’t have and to not want the things that are forced on us. A “what if” scenario is helpful to enlighten children about what the future holds. “What if you couldn’t go to school and learn?” is a good question to ask to help children appreciate what

to Paul and encourage the church to make that grace known to others— strengthened with God’s power even while experiencing persecution. Intertwined in the verses is the concept of unity, also possible by God’s power. Just thinking about God’s power encourages me to ask for things that don’t seem practical, visible or possible in human strength. Many of us have struggled with the isolation forced on us by the COVID-19 pandemic—but we can, through God’s power, keep isolation from becoming discouragement. Some of us genuinely want to find truth among the differing news stories, topics ranging from vaccine side effects to what really happened at the Capitol. Dare we trust God’s power to reveal truth? I believe we can. Can God encourage and equip
they have. Actually, the COVID virus fear has caused some children to experience not being able to go to school. However, I’m not sure if many actually miss the learning or if most simply want to be back with friends. At least, it is causing some to have to consider what life would be like without school. Children need to know what their education costs. Putting a price tag on each item in a classroom is an eye-opener for most. Simply being told the amount of money it costs per student per year also enlightens. Having a real person tell what believers currently enduring persecution? He can and he is—sometimes through miraculous intervention, sometimes through dreams, sometimes through the prayers of other believers. Can I find unity with a friend or relative who is a believer but feels differently than I do about current events? I don’t think so sometimes, but then I remember—God is able to do more than I dare think, including helping us find common ground for conversation. So, I ask God. As I read chapters 4 and 5, Paul’s instructions for Christian conduct including tough things like forgiveness and mutual submission, I know God can equip me to do those things even if I think I can’t. Like the Ephesian believers, we face spiritual warfare, but chapter 6 reminds us to be strong in the Lord’s mighty power. Whatever we can think of to ask him, his power is greater.
OPINION was paid from his/her income for the school in taxes the previous year is helpful. Children need to know these things. Teachers could give each child “play money” and require them to “pay” for the items being used in class. Most teachers, parents, and church workers like to use what are actually bribes in some cases to try to motivate. These are temporary stop-gap measures at best. Candy, pizza, field trips and prizes are a few of the bribes or rewards frequently used. There is a place for some of these to help make learning more
pleasant. We must realize, however, that if these kinds of rewards are done extensively, by the time a child gets to upper grades, they no longer are special. In an effort to have more and more excitement, the student may turn to drugs or other things in order to get self-pleasure. They become bored with the “same old things.” Children are not motivated by things that are easily obtained because they are not special. They keep looking for more and more. Unfortunately, children are often given the prize, bribe or reward without really deserving it. That
Feb. 5, 2021 • 7 can only add to the feeling of “Why should I do the work since I will be rewarded anyway? I’m comfortable the way I am!” Each child is unique and motivation must be chosen according to that child’s background and present circumstances. However, “Necessity is the mother of invention” and unless a child understands the necessity of an education, that child will not be motivated to make the effort to learn. We practice what we truly believe. Unless a child truly believes that an education is important, that child will not be motivated to learn no matter what we do.
The Seitz Report: News from Jefferson City Welcome to my first Capitol Report! Suffice it to say, the first few weeks as your Representative have been exciting, engaging, thought provoking and humbling. The honor bestowed upon me by the hard-working folks of the 156th District lends me to put every ounce of blood, sweat and tears (ok, not tears) into working for YOU, every single one of you. To date, I have sponsored three pieces of legislation, and one is being researched. HB 857 prohibits the government limiting the freedom of religion and right to assemble (even during a health crisis). HJR 39 proposes an amendment to the Constitution of Missouri allowing for property tax exemptions for certain seniors.
HR 187 is a resolution requesting that federal law be changed to allow religious organizations and leaders to engage in political speech without fear of losing their 501(c)(3) status (it’s called freedom). I also have a bill currently in drafting that would stop the 1619 Project (revisionist history) from being taught in public schools. Along with these, I have co-sponsored 39 freedom loving pieces of legislation. Recently, I both co-sponsored and voted into law, House Bills 429 and 430, authorizing income tax deductions for the provision of child foster care services and modified provisions relating to tax credits for the adoption of children. ‘Adoption is the Loving Option’ is a creed that I’ve always espoused, and now I am able to help this be-
come a reality for Missourians. The Speaker of the House, Representative Rob Vescovo, has placed me on three important committees.

Cancer Journey: Helping you keep track of the ducks
By Cindy Thomas and Karen Halfpop “Sometimes in our lives, we all have pain, we all have sorrow . . .” Maybe you didn’t grow up in the ‘70s or watch the choir-themed show “Glee,” but chances are still good you’ve heard or sung along, “We all need somebody to lean on!” Cancer patients know this to be indisputable fact. When you have cancer, even if you have a supportive partner, family, friends, or church, there are times you just need to talk with somebody who understands. This is particularly true if you are usu-
ally the strong person, the family member or friend with all their ducks in a row that everyone else counts on. (Ducks? I have ducks? Where’d they go?) In a normal environment, cancer centers usually offer support groups or there may be a group connected with a church. That’s been tough in 2020, though, as the precautions given to cancer patients have escalated, along with shutdowns or group size restrictions. That’s one reason Globe staffer Karen and writer Cindy decided to share their stories. We hope to take it a step further and form an online community, likely a
Facebook group, where others going through the cancer journey can share their own experiences and suggestions and find encouragement for the tough days. We’re in the planning stages and gathering input from the patient care team at Cox Cancer Center, but hope to have this rolling in the next couple of weeks. Please email Karen or Cindy if you have ideas for the group format, and we’ll keep you posted. And for this week’s update—Karen now understands the hair loss situation much better. She found cute head coverings at www.headcovers.com. It would make for some deserved self-care or a great gift for a friend who needs a lift!

Dr. Cecil Todd to hold Super Sunday Service at Lakewood Church, Feb. 7 Submitted to Branson Globe It will be Super Bowl Sunday at Branson West’s Lakewood Church … for an “S.S.S.” … a “Super Sunday” Service, starting at 10 a.m. The weather may be cold — but the church will be warm and friendly inside! You will hear the anointed special singing of Michael Morrow and the passionate preaching of Dr. Cecil Todd! Dr. Todd, now our Interim Pastor, will tell about his personal interview with Ronald Reagan for a “one-hour” Revival Fires TV Special and what Reagan said during that interview, that launched him
to become the 40th President of the United States. It is exciting! Dr. Todd will also tell of his historic trip to the U.S. Supreme Court – when he delivered 30,000 petitions (prayers) from the American people. Todd called on our High Court to stop the killing of the innocent unborn! He was almost arrested when he prayed on the steps of the Supreme Court! Dr. Todd’s gospel message theme this Sunday will be “Dear Lord, Heal Our Land!” Lakewood Church is located at 19585 State Highway 413 in Branson West, Mo. Visitors are welcome!

Pro-liberty lecture series to debut Saturday at Hughes Brothers Theatre By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Saturday, February 6, will be the kickoff for a unique series of seminars in Branson. Known as Liberty Lectures, a new initiative spearheaded by Branson entertainer Cindy Hughes will feature a variety of knowledgeable guest speakers. “Last year I got hit with a strong impression to do a series of seminars. My idea at first, was holding an event once a month, bringing in speakers that were pro-liberty,” explained Hughes. “In addition, I thought that there is a need that extends beyond the lectures. So, now we’re planning on some town hall discussions and maybe even debates that discuss local issues.” The lectures, according to Hughes, are geared towards educating people about the liberties we enjoy and how our government was designed to preserve those liberties.
Said Hughes, “One of the things I love about the topic of liberty is that it has a depth and breadth to it that demands our understanding of a wide range of other sub-topics. Our system of government was able to come about in the first place because the founders had a sound understanding of a wide range of topics—geography, education, religion, science, government and political philosophy. The lectures and future panel discussions will reflect that. We might cover government exclusively, but we might also discuss religion, business, gardening or health—all in an effort to better understand what role the government should have in our society.” Hughes has aligned herself and Liberty Lectures with a local group known as Branson U, a group that has a powerful online presence. However, Branson U focuses on local issues, while Hughes hopes
to take her movement nationally. “The natural extension of the lectures was to raise awareness of how citizens could more actively participate in the decisions that should affect them the most, and that means getting involved at a local level,” Hughes explained. “Branson U was already set up to do that online. BransonU.org is a website designed to inform Branson residents about what is going on here locally, how our local government functions, and opportunities for all Bransonites to be involved in those processes. An important part of that is getting unbiased exposure to our local candidates, not just reading a Facebook post about them.” Hughes continued, “Both Liberty Lectures and Branson U believe that it’s beneficial for the community to regularly come together and learn about and discuss things in an actual, physical location, to
get to know each other as people, and not just online profiles. Right now, we are working with Branson U to organize a series of moderated panel discussions with our candidates for city office, to be held in March, so voters can be better informed for the elections in April. We hope to have other meetings where we can openly and rationally discuss issues that have major implications for Branson residents.” Saturday’s guest speaker is Dan Ford with the topic, “The Legacy of Liberty in American History.” Ford is a researcher, author and speaker on the subjects of liberty and constitutional government. The debut lecture is slated for Saturday, February 6, at the Hughes Brothers Theatre, from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. A short break will be taken for attendees to have lunch, but no meal will be provided. While the lectures will be hosted
by The Hughes Brothers Theatre, owned and operated by the Hughes Family, Cindy noted that this is not a Hughes Brothers’ production. “I just had the desire to do the lectures, and I happen to have access to the theatre, to a place to hold the seminars,” said Hughes. Admission to Saturday’s seminar is free to the public. Seating is limited due to the local mandates. Reservations are recommended. The Hughes Brothers Theatre is located at 3425 West 76 Country Boulevard in Branson. For more information, call 417-334-0076. Noted Hughes, “James Madison said ‘A diffusion of knowledge is the only true guardian of liberty.’ Dan and future presenters are a treasure trove of this knowledge, and I hope that my neighbors here in Branson and surrounding areas will take advantage of these amazing opportunities to learn from them.”

Fire sprinkler checks urged 417-527-7500 143 First St. Hollister, Mo ahead of expected drop in temps Residential & Commercial Submitted to Branson Globe Branson Fire Rescue is urging all Branson area businesses to prepare now for the expected drop in temperatures by double-checking all fire sprinkler systems in buildings. If a fire sprinkler system is exposed to sub-freezing temperatures for two or three days in a row, sprinkler pipes and domestic water lines can expand and fracture. This can cause the vital sprinkler systems to malfunction or can even cause devastating water damage if the pipes burst. Not only do you have to keep an eye on the sprinkler systems when the temperatures get low, but when it warms back up as well. Sprinkler
systems are known to fracture as the temperatures rise as well when the pipe warms back up and expands. Property owners are encouraged to inspect all attic areas to ensure there are no exposed pipes. They are also encouraged to keep all buildings heated to a minimum of between 45 to 50 degrees. This is especially important for Branson businesses and attractions that are closed or reducing hours during the winter months. For more fire safety tips, go to the Branson Fire Rescue web page on the city’s website at www.bransonmo.gov or for more information about fire sprinkler systems, contact the Branson Fire Rescue at 417243-2790.

Water bottles, filling stations help keep school kids healthier By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer In 2017, Skaggs Foundation awarded a Skaggs Legacy Endowment Helping Hands grant to Galena-Abesville Elementary school to install water bottle filling stations to two existing water fountains, an idea initiated by Galena school nurse Julie Hagler. The foundation also provided the school with 300 reusable water bottles.
Within just a few months after the hydration stations were installed, Galena-Abesville school leaders noticed positive changes—students began to consume more water, fewer sugary drinks were being brought to school, and Hagler saw fewer students coming to her office reporting headaches. While some area schools were seeing increased absenteeism due
to sickness, Galena-Abesville was not. Skaggs Foundation leadership was thrilled to hear so many positive outcomes from such a simple project that could easily be replicated throughout other school districts. Over the next few years, the Foundation began working with other area schools, eventually funding the installation of hydra-
tion stations in nine school districts throughout Stone and Taney counties. Along with each installation, the foundation provided quality reusable water bottles for students and staff. The benefits of proper hydration are well documented. Sufficient water consumption aids good digestion, boosts energy levels, and facilitates quicker recovery from
illnesses such as colds and flu. It can also improve concentration and help with maintaining a healthy weight. Of course, nobody knew in 2017 that 2020 would bring a strange new virus, prompting extra sanitation measures that meant shutting off shared drinking fountains and SEE WATER BOTTLES, PAGE 17

carcinoma breast cancer. Her treatment plan includes four-hour chemotherapy sessions every three weeks at CoxHealth Cancer Center Branson—an area at Cox Medical Center Branson she knows well. Halfpop worked in the medical center’s community relations and communications department when the cancer center opened. “All of the years I worked there, I really had no opportunity to use the services,” she said. “I felt confident in all my co-workers then, but now I am just amazed at all
of them. They are the best at what they do, and they do it as if they are caring for a loved one. They really are amazing.” In addition to the excellent cancer care Halfpop is receiving, she’s also benefitting from another patient program—Skaggs Foundation’s cancer center meal program. Any patient receiving infusion therapy through lunchtime at CoxHealth Cancer Center Branson is provided a free meal. “It’s really nice…one less thing I need to worry about, and it keeps me from eating things

that might not be that good for me or spending money we really don’t have on fast food,” she said, adding her favorite is the chicken salad sandwich. And, during a long day at the cancer center, lunch is a bright spot. “I’ve not heard one patient turn it down,” she said. “In fact, everyone brightens up a bit when the lunch cart comes around. Sometimes, especially as a first-timer, you’re a bit nervous and don’t feel like eating in the morning. By lunchtime, your tummy is growling. The lunchboxes are a welcome site.” In 2020, thanks to the support of generous donors, Skaggs Foundation was able to fund 2,604 meals for cancer patients—that was 673 more meals than in 2019. While the need for meals has increased, the reason the meals are needed continues to be just as important. “Many of the side effects of cancer treatment disrupt a patient’s diet and appetite,” said Jamille
JUKEBOX LIVE
Twedt, BSN, RN, ONC, ambulatory infusion services assistant nurse manager. “Some patients battling cancer can experience a loss of appetite, sore mouth, changes in taste, and even nausea, vomiting and depression. When good nutrition is at its utmost importance, many times patients don’t want to eat.” Combine those issues with treatment that lasts through lunchtime and the financial burden a diagnosis like cancer can have on a
bransonglobe.com patient, Twedt said patients would often skip lunch. Echoing what Halfpop said, when the lunch cart comes around though, patients tend to perk up, get excited and even more social. “We see it as good nutrition, but it’s also good for their spirits,” Twedt said. If you would like to help support Skaggs Foundation’s cancer center meal program, visit SkaggsFoundation.org or call 417-348-8998.

even a year old, and I was 14 years old. Catherine is now 29. Our first season here, we were on the gazebo at Silver Dollar City. We stayed at Silver Dollar City through 2001 and moved the show to the strip in 2002. We have now sold over 6,000,000 tickets and performed more than 7,000 shows in Branson!” Dominic Haygood noted, “It kind of blows our minds that we are still together after all these years. Honestly, though, we are still very young, and we feel like we have a lot of years left to have fun. It’s been a crazy journey, but there’s no one else I would rather work with than my brothers and my sister.” Despite the pandemic that enveloped our country through much of 2020, The Haygoods continued to perform to a packed house last season. “We sold out just about every show last year, even with the capacity restrictions, and this year advance bookings are extremely strong. Some shows in the fall are already sold out,” Timothy explained. “We think that 2021, particularly once we get to the summer, is going to be the biggest year in Branson’s history.” While the entire town was shut down for a time last spring due to the virus, Timothy and the family used the extra time off to their advantage. “Last year during the shutdown, we added over 45 minutes of new material to the show,” Timothy noted. “We added 12 new songs, three new laser systems, LED walls, a guitar-playing robot that flies, a whole new finale, and an entirely new tap number, including upside down tapping with fire.” Those new changes will debut in February, March and April. But the Haygoods have much more planned for this season. Timothy explained, “We plan to add more songs and more new special effects in 2021. We
spent the winter in our recording studio and in our warehouse, working on new additions to the show. We have some new, wild, never-before-seen on any stage things we will be adding.” Saturday begins the Haygoods’ 29th season in Branson, and their seventh year at the state-of-theart Clay Cooper Theater.
“Clay and Tina absolutely know how to run a tight theater operation and behind the scenes they are incredible, caring, honest people,” said Timothy. “We are lucky and blessed to be working with them at such a nice theater.” The Haygoods will perform Fridays and Saturdays during the

month of February and will begin their full schedule of shows starting in March. Show time is 7:30 p.m. The entire Haygood family is very thankful and grateful for the support they continue to receive from their fans. Said Timothy, “We know the only reason we are successful is because of
the support from the community. We are Branson believers, and we look forward to an incredibly bright future right here in the heart of the Ozark Mountains. Thank you to all the locals who have supported us for the last three decades. You ain’t seen nothing yet!”

making it extra important for students to carry their hydration with them. When districts began to work on plans to return to the classroom, Skaggs Foundation provided reusable water bottles for every student attending in-person class throughout Stone and Taney counties. In all, the foundation has provided more than 11,000 water bottles. “Not every family can afford a nice water bottle for their child to take to school,” said Skaggs Foundation Director of Community Relations Mindy Honey. “Expanding our program to provide a sturdy aluminum water bottle to every student in school in Stone and Taney counties is a small investment to protect the health of our area kids.” Hagler said the Galena-Abesville program was a great success even before COVID because the
students were so excited to receive their water bottles. The bottles are kept at school and the students have all become much better water drinkers. “PostCOVID, they have helped more than ever,” said Hagler. “The hydration stations are the only way our staff and students have access to water, due to the drinking fountains being shut down for safety reasons.” “The donated bottles go beyond the obvious benefits of providing water to be accessible to students throughout the day,” said Michelle Collins, principal at Branson Cedar Ridge Elementary. “It is a reminder that we are cared for by so many. Many of our students yearn for something to call their own, and they proudly display the Skaggs Foundation water bottle attached to their backpack. As our community continues to pull together, it’s the little things that make a big difference.”

Citizens academy alumni hosts first Branson Police Department award banquet Submitted to Branson Globe The Branson Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association
(BCPAAA) hosted the Branson Police Department Awards Banquet at the Radisson Hotel, Fri-
day, January 22. The BCPAAA is the brainchild of Branson Police Chief Jeff Matthews whose vision is to enlighten the public on police activities while instilling community support of the police officers and staff. The awards banquet is Chief’s goal to recognize employees for their day in and day out dedication while linking the Branson Citizens Police Academy with the alumni association membership. To make this awards banquet become a reality, alumni members worked diligently on three fundraising events during 2019 and 2020. BCPAAA is a nonprofit corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) tax exempt status. Officer Darold Donathan, the police department liaison to the alumni association had this to say: “I am proud of the BCPAAA members that came together in 2019 after participating in our Citizens Police Academy. This
group committed to working together to do the ground work and establish the association. The BCPAAA are citizen ambassadors of the Branson Police Department and volunteer their time to promote a better understanding and improved community partnership with the Branson Police Department. I am encouraged and look forward to the great things our BCPAAA accomplish as they continue to support and assist the Branson Police Department.” The alumni association is dedicated to supporting the Branson
Police Department (BPD) and promoting public support for the department. The Branson Citizens Police Academy Alumni Association began in August of 2019 and is comprised of citizen graduates of the Branson Citizens Police Academy. Alumni members must be graduates of Citizens Police Academy. To date, four Citizens’ Police Academies have been provided; number five will begin this fall. Please call or text Officer Donathan at Branson PD to sign up for this fall’s class: 417-337-8503, ddonathan@bransonmo.gov.
