By KD Michaels, Staff Writer The City of Branson teamed up with a local collegiate program to make a young man’s 21st birthday unforgettable.

Paul Ferguson is a student at Barnabas Prep. Barnabas Prep is a two-year collegiate program that is designed to help special needs adults reach their full potential.

Based in Branson, Barnabas Prep is an extension of Camp Barnabas, a summer camp for those with special needs. Barnabas Prep is also specifically designed for special needs students, providing them with a faith-based independent learning and living experience.

Recently a staff member from Barnabas Prep contacted the City of Branson to assist in a special

Hollister Presbyterian Church makes $2,000 gift to CAM Submitted to Branson Globe Hollister Presbyterian Church recently presented a check for $2,000 to Christian Action Ministries (CAM) to assist with CAM’s

response to increased need during the COVID-19 crisis. The funds came from PC USA, John Calvin Presbytery’s Administrative Commission Committee, through a

grant applied for by Hollister Presbyterian Church. The check was presented in December to be used to help families in need during the holidays.

CoxHealth social workers give families a more peaceful place for goodbyes

Peggy Seidl and Janine Johns-Shaffer (Special to Branson Globe)

It’s a room no one wants to visit, but for those who do, it’s now a more calming, peaceful place.

Following a very tough conversation with a grieving family last year, Cox Medical Center Branson, Emergency Room Social Worker Peggy Seidl decided it was time to make improvements to the bereavement room.

“This area provides a place for families to say their final goodbye in a private, quiet place,” Seidl explained.

But, at the time, the room, which is located just off the emergency department waiting area, wasn’t calming and peaceful.

Seidl spoke to Social Work Manager Janine Johns-Shaffer, and they decided to apply to Skaggs Foundation’s Employee Funding Request program. The Foundation’s Employee Funding Request program is a small grant making program open to Cox Medical Center Branson employees for projects benefitting Cox Medical Center Branson patients and employees. The funds are made possible by CoxHealth employees who support Skaggs Foundation through payroll giving.

Seidl’s project was approved and soon after improvements began.

The carpet was removed and replaced with beautiful hardwood and

the walls painted a warmer, more inviting color. The team replaced some of the furniture with more cozy and functional pieces. The final items on their list to do includes adding art to the walls and incorporating activities for children.

“There’s a lot of difficult conversations that happen in here,” Seidl said. “We are grateful to have a space to have those conversations that is now peaceful and calming.

We now have a beautiful space.”

Shaffer said they dedicate the room to all of the families it will serve.

“This is our small way of making a difference,” she added.

Local agent makes real estate in the Ozarks a family business

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Patty Silliman is one of Branson’s leading real estate agents.

Born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky, Patty moved to the Branson area in 1993.

“My dad was the manager of the Sheraton Hotel in Louisville,” explained Silliman.

“He trained me in all the departments. Right after I got out of school, I started managing properties. So, I’ve pretty much been in real estate since the early 1970s.”

From Kentucky, Silliman relocated to Palm Springs, California, where she resided for 20 years, and was active in the

Realtor Patty Silliman (Special to Branson Globe)

West Coast real estate scene before making the move to the Ozarks.

“When I moved to Branson, I got into marketing for some of

the companies here, then I got my real estate license in 2003,” Silliman noted.

In 2018, Silliman and husband Tom Buster opened their own real estate agency, Silliman Realty and Associates. Located in Branson’s Midtowne Plaza, Silliman Realty and Associates is a small family operation consisting of Patty, Tom who is the broker, and grandson Daylen, as well as one additional agent. Soon, the office will be home to three generations of the Silliman family, as Patty’s daughter Kristi, will have her real estate license, too.

“I can hardly wait,” said Patty.

“Kristi has great people skills,

and she’ll be able to take some of the workload off of me. I hope at some point, I can retire, and leave my company to my daughter and grandson.”

Patty and the staff at Silliman Realty and Associates handle primarily residential real estate and investment properties consisting of houses and condos, as well as some parcels of land. Occasionally Patty will list a commercial property, but generally refers those sellers to a commercial realtor.

When asked what skills are necessary to become a successful real estate agent, Patty, who was named Branson’s Real Estate Agent of the Year in both

2019 and 2020, answered, “Good people skills, good organizational skills, great communication skills, negotiating skills, tolerance, patience and a good sense of humor. Also, to be able to relate to all generations of people.

Each demographic has a different objective.”

For Patty, the highlight of being a real estate agent is watching people’s dreams come true. “It makes such a difference in their lives, seeing the dream of owning their home come true,” explained Silliman. “The most expensive thing we purchase in our lives is our home, so handling that for SEE SILLIMAN, PAGE 10

Through September 30, the expenses for food distributed to our neighbors in need exceeded $1.1 million, more than a 93 percent increase over the same period in 2019.

Huddleston adds, “We at CAM are currently bracing for a bleak winter period as families have not had an income that prepares them to face an off-season of unemployment, and businesses along with many churches are seeing a significant reduction in revenue that provides the basis for contributions to Christian Action Ministries.”

By Pat Lamb What!? Doing too much for my kids? Never! I can’t do enough for my children! I want to do all I can for them!

This might be the response to the above question by many parents, and it certainly is true that we can’t love a child too much.

However, when it comes to jumping in and making things easy for a child by doing the things that child should be learning, we can certainly do too much for a child.

From the time a child is born, one of the main duties of a parent is to help that child become independent so that when the day comes that Mom and Dad are no longer around, the child, who is probably now an adult, can take care of his/herself. We often

Pat Lamb (FILE)

mistakenly define love as giving things to a child and shielding that child from discomfort. In addition, some parents seem to think that their job is to entertain their children. Too much of this is smothering, not mothering or fathering.

I fail to see the logic in thinking that parents or society can shower

one pleasing thing after another on a child, go to great lengths to see that the child is having fun, expect the child to do little in return to show his/her appreciation, and then one day expect that child to say, “Oh, now I’m old enough to take care of myself!” Why would anyone want to start doing without all of the attention and comfort found at home, especially when the realization hits that it may take years to earn enough to get back to the same level of comfort that is being left at home.

We need to use wisdom not only in what we give to the child, but the amount we give and do.

Children can learn to care for themselves in many ways if we take the time to teach them. Some children fix their own lunches

for school as early as kindergarten. Children can learn to set an alarm and get up on time. If they don’t do these things, they can go without lunch or suffer the consequences of being late for school. Depending on safety and distance, older children can even walk to school if they miss the bus. There are many convenience foods now that children can fix for themselves using a microwave.

They can learn to clean up their own messes. After doing so, they will be more careful not to make those messes. They can take care of their own homework and endure the consequence if they lose it. Children can do dishes, clean the kitchen, sweep the floors, earn SEE TRAIN UP A CHILD, PAGE 7

Reflections: In the chaos surrounding us, God is exalted

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer In recent weeks, Tom Brady has received considerable acclaim for his accomplishments on the football field, now including yet another Super Bowl win. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, although on the wrong side of this year’s outcome, nonetheless gets plenty of praise also, since his achievements at 25 may have him on pace to outdo even the legendary Brady.

Both men credit teammates, coaches, family and others with helping them succeed, as do many

Cindy Thomas (FILE)

athletes; even those in individual sports cite hard work but also give credit where it’s due. Most of us would turn off the TV rather

quickly if it featured a monologue of Brady or any other athlete bragging on himself. A favorite part of music and movie award shows is hearing what presenters have to say about the recipients, not what the winners think of themselves.

(Actually, some do need to learn this, but most know.)

In politics, many key figures take obvious pride when their opinions and photos dominate news and social media, touting their expertise on whatever controversy. (Anyone else wish Twitter had just never happened?) Ever

notice, though, how the few who don’t do that, but simply insert common sense in a humble way, seem much more likeable? At a party, one person hogging the limelight is not much fun for anyone else. In general, while hard work does lead to accomplishments, Proverbs 27:2 is good advice: “Let another praise you, and not your own mouth.” (NKJV) The exception, and the only exception, is found in Psalm 33:10. “‘Now I will rise,’ says the Lord.

Mayor’s Moment: A Branson city update from Mayor Edd Akers Dear Branson Community, We have a lot going on at our Parks & Recreation Department’s RecPlex to keep you warm. I encourage you to check out their website to see what activities might interest you to help stay in good physical and mental shape through the winter. I doubt I am up for the Youth Trampoline Dodgeball Tournament, but the Virtual Esports Tournament looks interesting with an upcoming tournament on February 15.

February 2 held a special meaning for my buddy Jack. Thirty-three years ago, with not the best odds, he underwent open heart surgery. Today he continues to cast his shadow as a blessing to this community. So glad you are still with us.

To continue our 2020 “Year in Review” as we look at some city accomplishments from the past year, I wanted to update you on Branson Fire Rescue. It responded to 4,260 calls for service in 2020.

This included 83 working fires causing an estimated $598,188 in property damage and almost $377

money and many other things.

It is important that parents know their children well enough to know how much to expect of them. Responsibilities should be given a bit at a time and not just poured on them. Time needs to be taken to teach the proper way of doing something; then, expect the child to follow through.

Children who have learned to do things for themselves are the ones who become happy and responsible adults. We do our children a big favor by not doing too much for them.

‘Now I will be exalted. Now I will lift myself up.’” (NKJV) Only God can do that. At first glance that verse might seem a bit arrogant, but as mentioned in previous reflections, none of us is God. The context of Psalm 33 is God’s wrath toward those who treat others unjustly. Those who do rightly will escape that wrath, but in the middle of it all, God is exalted. Verse 10 simply asserts his power to do what he will. He is in all, above all, Creator of all (Colossians 1:16–17). The Psalms exhort us to worship; God inhabits the praise of his people, but

million in property saved. This value can be directly attributed to the training of our firefighters as they averaged 284 hours per person or 10,864 hours for the whole department. Additionally, our personnel completed 1,900 fire and life safety inspections and presented educational programs to reduce risk in our community. The annual performance report will be published on its website in February and will be presented to the board of aldermen at the March 18 study session which will be streamed live at www.bransonmo.gov/livestream. I am proud of our first responders.

Interesting Factoid of the Week: There are 3,165 City of Branson issued business licenses. “Buy he is exalted even when people and nations do not acknowledge him.

That’s a comforting thought in the chaos surrounding us. As so many leaders and influencers ignore God’s moral law, challenge time-honored principles of right and wrong, deceive others or suppress God-given rights, remember that every cruel dictator, every person who has ever claimed superiority is dead, or will be.

They will face God’s wrath, on his timetable. They will have their day only as long as he allows it. God desires our worship, thanks and praise, but he can and does exalt himself above all else.

Local” is not only a motto but a goal here in Branson. Buying local helps keep our money where we live, work and play and is crucial for not only our economy but also for our friends who own, manage and work in our local businesses.

Buying local helps provide not only an economic tie of our personal actions to the city but also an emotional connection. As we buy locally, we become more aware of what makes our local businesses flourish and the realization that

we as individuals are helping to grow our local economy and help our neighbors and fellow Branson community.

For those who pray, thank you; 2020 proved change can occur quickly. A positive attitude and working together can get us through anything. Thank you for supporting the best hometown in America.

Thank you for letting me serve you, Mayor Edd Akers

New restaurant offers unique dining experience

By KD Michaels, Staff Writer A unique new restaurant is now open in Branson. Mad Hatterz Eatz and Treatz opened on February 5.

Located on Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, Mad Hatterz Eatz and Treats is a whimsical eatery, designed to provide an out-of-the-box experience, according to owner Michelle Fares.

“I first opened Mad Hatterz in 2018 in Ozark,” explained Fares. “I have 25 years in the hotel business and did some restaurant work, as well. I wanted people to come in and enjoy a unique experience.”

Fares, who hails from the East, explained that food, especially sandwiches, is very different in other geographic

locations than what is typically found in the Ozarks. Fares designed her menu with a bit of a Philadelphia flair.

Mad Hatterz Eatz and Treatz has a large menu, including a variety of sandwiches, salads and sides. They also offer stuffed spuds and a variety of delectable desserts.

“Our rolls are shipped in

twice a week from Philadelphia,” said Fares. “Our meat and cheese are sliced here in house. I also use a lot of my grandma’s recipes, like our potato salad, baked beans and 7-layer salad. Our salad dressings are homemade. The Italian is the most popular and is also featured on two of our sandwiches. Our desserts are home-

made, too—pies, warm bread pudding and cobbler.”

Based on an ‘Alice in Wonderland’ theme, Mad Hatterz is already enjoying some repeat business. Some of Fares’ more popular items include such sandwiches as ‘Rabbit’s Reuben,’ ‘Dormous Italian,’ SEE MAD HATTERZ, PAGE 11

Bread pudding is also very popular. “We’re already selling a pan of bread pudding a day,” Fares noted.

Fares has many plans for the upcoming season.

“We are teaming up with entertainer Cookie Lee to do Mad Hatterz karaoke,” said Fares. “We will also be doing Mother-Daughter teas, a Father-Daughter tea, and a Mother-Daughter Look-Alike pageant.

The characters—Alice and The Mad Hatter, will also be in the restaurant at times, as well.”

For Fares, the goal in opening Mad Hatterz is simply to provide something unique for Branson’s locals and visitors.

Said Fares, “It’s all about involving the community and having a different experience

for them. I also want them to feel like, when they leave, they got what they paid for.”

Located at 3044 Shepherd of the Hills Expressway, Suite 101, in Branson’s Victorian Village shopping complex, Mad Hatterz , is currently open Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. In March, Fares plans to be open seven days a week, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., with hopes of enticing some late-evening, after-show diners.

For more information on Mad Hatterz Eatz and Treatz, visit their Facebook page where they offer specials, contests and drawings.

“I love what I do. It doesn’t even feel like I come to a job,” Fares noted. “For me, the reason I relate so well to ‘Alice in Wonderland,’ is because the story is all about imagination and dreams. This is my dream!”

Galena High School hosts invitational chess tournament

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Pierce City High School’s chess club took team honors at the annual Galena Invitational Chess Tournament, hosted

by Galena High School chess club on Saturday, Feb. 6.

Individual medals were also awarded, with first place in the high school division going to Faith Collins, a homeschool student from Willow Springs, Missouri. Second place went to John Richardson, Pierce City; third place, Levi Cooper, Pierce City; fourth place, Jared Lynn, Pierce City; and fifth place, Nick Shipley, West Plains.

Host Galena made a strong showing in the middle school division with medals going to Rilee Plante, Galena, first place; Aden Baldwin, Galena,

second place; and Conner Wilkinson, Galena, third place.

Galena chess coach and sponsor Philip Thomas served as tournament coordinator. Thomas, an avid chess player who teaches band and music, started the Galena club in 2009. He noted at that time the club had to travel quite a distance to competitions, even into southeast Kansas, but scholastic chess is gaining popularity in southwest Missouri. Pierce City is coached by social studies teacher Andrew Ward, who started the club three years ago. Ward said the club has been growing steadily each year. The popular Netflix show “Queen’s Gambit” may have contributed to recent increased popularity of chess among young peo-

ple. Interestingly, producers tried for several years to market the show amid concerns that chess was “not cool,” but once released, it soared to top ratings.

Both Ward and Thomas said research shows many benefits of playing chess, including improved concentration and the ability to evaluate outcomes of a given action, due to the need to think through possible moves by an opponent in response to each chess move,

all with an eye on the game clock. The Galena club is currently in a rebuilding mode with mostly younger players, but graduates in recent years have medaled at the state tournament. A Galena team took fourth place in the ninth-grade division at state one year.

Thomas said the tournament was much smaller than usual due to concerns about COVID-19, but he hopes to see more competitions happening

soon. The Galena tournament was held in accordance with school masking recommendations and other safety protocols. One parent in attendance observed, “Sitting across a table, wearing a mask, with frequent handwashing before handling game pieces in each new round, seems like one of the safest activities students could do. My son is a senior, so I’m glad they had this event because it has been a fun day.”

Hollister Middle School teachers empower young writers Submitted to Branson Globe Hollister Middle School teachers, Paula Adams and Elisabeth Pipkin, are empowering young writers with the help of a Texas writing teacher, Kylene Reed.

Adams and Pipkin first met

Reed when she conducted an “Empowering Writers” professional development as they were beginning their journey with the “Empowering Writers” curriculum. Reed has served as their mentor for the past two years.

“Empowering Writers” takes a unique approach to writing, emphasizing the connection between good writing skills and literacy achievement as a whole.

Adams and Pipkin both say that they have seen an improvement in

their students’ writing skills and have seen students who might not otherwise, develop a passion for writing.

Recently, students had the unique opportunity to be taught

by Kylene Reed herself. Virtually that is. Reed was able to remotely teach a lesson on how to turn re-

search notes into paragraphs via Zoom.

And the students were not the only ones to benefit from this lesson. Adams and Pipkin were able to take notes themselves on how to teach the lesson. Students and teachers alike say this was a positive learning experience.

HMS 6th grade students learn virtually from Texas writing teacher Kylene Reed. (Special to Branson Globe)

Lady Bobcats net Coach Mullis 200th win in exciting fashion Submitted to Branson Globe With three seconds on the clock, Lady Bobcat Jordan Wersinger. lands the layup and the Lady Cats escape with a thrilling finish and two-point win over the Lady Eagles, 71-69.

The game did not start as exciting for the Lady Bobcats as Danae Goodwin came out on fire for the Eagles. Hitting shots from inside and out, Goodwin propelled her team to a 13-4 run to start the game and it appeared that a long night was underway for the Lady Cats. A pair of free throws by Kayley Frank at the 5:09 mark broke through for the Lady Cats. A basket by Katie Mayes, a three and two free throws by Madi Braden, and baskets by Jordan Wersinger and Grace Steiger, and the Lady Bobcats had put together a 13-4 run of their own to end the opening frame.

All knotted up at 17 to start the second quarter, and the stage had been set for more back and forth action the rest of the game. Jordan Wersinger put the Lady Cats on top to start the quarter but OKWU answered with a couple of baskets of their own. The Eagles would hold a slim lead until the 3:27 mark when a basket by Annie Noah evened the score at 26 apiece. The two teams traded baskets the rest of the way, and the score was tied at 32 to end the half.

Both teams came out in the second half determined not to flinch.

Trading baskets became the norm over the next ten minutes. Neither team would lead by more than two points until a Kyra Hardesty three put the Lady Cats ahead 43-38 with 4:17 remaining in the third. The Eagles, however, would answer with a 9-2 run and lead 47-45. The last 1:54 of the quarter would see much of the same and the score was tied 52-52 after three.

The fourth quarter featured both teams jockeying for position and trying to pull away. A Madi Braden three with 5:42 left in the game lifted the Lady Cats to a sev-

three days, against a team playing in their 20th game is a tall task. Our ladies gutted out the victory in dramatic fashion. We still have a lot of work ahead of us, and this team is willing to do the work in order to uphold the standards of being Ozarks.”

The win, gives Coach Becky Mullis her 200th as the head coach of the Lady Bobcats. In seven years and two games, Coach Mullis has

en-point advantage and the momentum to pull away. The Eagles however, were not quite ready to give in. With another 9-0 run, the momentum had shifted and so had the lead, 63-61 Eagles, with 3:42 to play. A Jordan Wersinger three would put the Lady Cats on top 64-63, followed by another stretch of trading baskets. The Lady Cats held a slim three-point lead, 69-66, with 17 seconds left in regulation.

With the clock running down, the Eagles’ Antonia Porter hit a three from the right side to tie the score at 69, with three seconds left for the Lady Cats to work with. Enter Jordan Wersinger, the screen, the drive, and the layup off the glass as time runs out, and that’s a Lady Cat win, 71-69!

After the game, Coach Mullis commented, “I’m very proud of our team tonight for finding a way to win over a great shooting team like Oklahoma Wesleyan. Playing on the road in just our second game of the year, second game in

averaged close to 28 wins a season to reach the milestone.

On winning number 200, Coach Mullis states, “This win is one I will cherish forever, mainly because of this group of ladies I’m fortunate to coach.

In the midst of a challenging year, they’ve remained positive, haven’t given in, and truly value one another.

They deserve this recognition more than me. I’ve been blessed to coach amazing, talented young women over the course of my eight years. They’re the reason for the success of our program. I share this milestone with them, and I thank them for wearing OZARKS across their chest and continuing our great tradition.”

The Lady Bobcats celebrate Coach Mullis’ 200th win. (Special to Branson Globe)

seven players that he coached go on to play in Major League Baseball.

“I feel blessed to end my educational career in Hollister,” Mr. Burgi shares. “While I have so many great memories of my time in Hollister, my best memory is coaching the 2018 baseball team and winning the conference championship. The parents and players made me feel so honored to be a part of that celebration.” Mr. Burgi goes on to state that he feels blessed to work with the coaches at Hollister. “They are second to none from the top to the bottom,” Burgi says.

‘Is my electrical panel dangerous?’

By Stephanie Barney, Owner, Lightspeed Electric Your electrical panel regulates the amount of electricity that is fed to the many circuits, devices, and appliances in your home. It is designed to prevent overloaded circuits, which can result in power interruption, damaged appliances or house fires. Manufacturers and agencies like the National Fire Protection Association collaborate constantly to develop the best equipment.

They also phase out and discontinue brands and models of electrical panels that have proven design flaws.

This raises a few questions: • How do I know if my home has a dangerous panel? Look for the brand name on the panel cover.

The most notorious for fires are Federal Pacific Stab Loc panels (identified by the red breaker handles). Other brands like Sylvania Zinsco, Bryant, ITE, Murray, Wadsworth and Westinghouse have been flagged as dangerous due to design or age. Many old-

Stephanice Barney, Owner (Special to Branson Globe)

er models of mainstream brands may also be outdated and dangerous.

• Will I see any warning signs? Not easily. Many of these obsolete panels offer NO WARNING. The flawed breakers do not trip; they melt and burn. Look closely at your panel for clues: Does your panel look old? Do you see rust, corrosion, mismatched brands of breakers/colors of handles? Is there heat or humming coming from your panel?

• Why don’t I see a recall on these

MarkkAldred’s

panels? Official recalls are the result of lawsuits, and lawsuits cost money. Products often need to be recalled and updated, but instead the companies that manufacture them go bankrupt, disappear, or get bought out by other companies who stop production of the unsafe products.

This educational tip is sponsored by your friends at Lightspeed Electrical Services. If you have one of the above-mentioned brands or are concerned about the age or condition of your panel, give us a call: 417-239-5050.

Wersigner named AII Player of the Week Submitted to Branson Globe The 22nd ranked College of the Ozarks’ Lady Bobcats have one week of the season under their belt, and it includes their first Association of Independent Institutions Women’s Basketball Player of the week award recipient, Jordan Wersinger.

Wersinger, a 5-foot-8-inch junior guard from Springfield, Missouri had a solid three games for the Lady Bobcats and propelled the Lady Cat offense throughout the week. Wersinger started the week off strong scoring 20 points on 9 of 19 shooting, with four assists, and four rebounds against Crowley’s Ridge College. She

followed up that performance with 14 points, four assists, two rebounds, and shooting two for two from beyond the arc—on the road against Oklahoma Wesleyan. The trip to Bartlesville was capped off when Jordan drove the lane and hit a shot at the buzzer to secure a thrilling 71-69 win over the Eagles.

Over the Lady Cats’ first three games, Wersinger scored 41 points, had 11 assists, 8 rebounds, shot 6/7 from the free throw line, hit 42.9 percent from beyond the arc, and netted a total field goal percentage of 45.7.

The Lady Bobcats are now 3-0 heading into week two of their shortened season.
