Branson Mayoral Candidate Profile: Edd Akers
For the past few weeks, the Branson Globe has profiled each of the candidates for Branson mayor. Today’s article is the last in that series. See the rest of the articles at www.bransonglobe.com By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Branson Mayor Edd Akers is running for reelection in a highly contested race that will be decided in April. A native of Missouri, Akers was born in Stone County and moved to Branson at the age of four. “My first job was at McComma’s Economy Markets (later known
as Piggly Wiggly) and A&W Root Beer, both in downtown Branson,” said Akers. “At about the age of 14, I started working at Marvel Cave Park and even helped with the construction of some of the original Silver Dollar City buildings on Main Street.” After graduating from Branson High School, Akers earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Business Administration, and went on to attain a master’s degree from the University of Missouri in Columbia. While home from college on summer breaks, Akers had the opportu-
nity to become one of the original cast members at the Shepherd of the Hills Outdoor Drama, where he also served as theater manager. “After graduate school, I went to work with Mary Herschend as co-administrator of the National Crafts Foundation for several years, so you can certainly say my roots are deep in the history of these Ozark hills,” Akers noted. “In 1970, I became president of the Akers Arney Insurance Agency. I retired from my business career and beSEE PROFILE: AKERS, PAGE 5

Emergency vote repeals Branson’s mandatory face covering ordinance PAGE 3: Seitz to present keynote at public forum
WEATHER...page 21 Beautiful weather in our future!
By Gary J. Groman, Independent Writer At its March 23, 2021, meeting, the Branson Board of Aldermen (Board) approved Bill No. 5973, an ordinance amending Chapter 58, Article X, of the Branson Municipal Code. The amendment repeals Sections 58.386 through 58.390 of the Code relating to mandatory face-coverings, required signage, and penalties.
The initial staff report and proposed ordinance, published late last week, was changed and republished less than 21 hours before the meeting. Instead of repealing the masking provisions immediately, as initially proposed, the final ordinance, passed on an emergency “double read” basis, delays the actual appeal until effective May 24, 2021, at 12:01 a.m.

Immediately after its passage, Melody Pettit, Communications Manager for the City of Branson, said that “Branson Mayor, Edd Akers, sponsored this ordinance because of the following: The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shown a significant decrease in weekly COVID-19 cases since late 2020 for Missouri and is forecasting a continued decline as of March 17, 2021.
As of March 17, 2021, 20.0% of Missouri, 13.8% of Taney County, and 17.5% of Stone County residents have initiated COVID-19 vaccination.

Missouri Governor Mike Parson has announced moving to Phase 3, which will open vaccine eligibility to all Missouri adults, citing significant increases in vaccines coming to the state.” Dr. Shawn Usery, MD, FHM, the Chief Medical Officer, Administration, for Cox Medical Center in Branson, recommended against
the ordinance at this time. He pointed out that Branson has been recognized nationally for being a Covid safe destination and that masking helps stop the spread of the COVID-19 virus. He said that although things are moving in the right direction, it would be counterproductive to remove the masking ordinance at this time.

Then last year, the pandemic pushed back the nuptials once again. “We wanted to have a wedding and invite people to our home, but the timing was just wrong for that to happen,” Annette says. “We had each other and our love so an actual ceremony didn’t seem like a priority.” Those priorities shifted this past summer when Jim, a longtime fishing guide at Big Cedar Lodge, felt a lump near his groin. His health declined rapidly and, by January, he was battling an aggressive and advanced stage of testicular cancer. “We were just shocked,” Annette says. “He lost so much weight and became so weak so

He said that she had made a suggestion, based on the availability of vaccine and the Governor’s Tier Schedule for vaccinations. The amendment passed by a four to two vote with Alderman Julia King and Larry Milton and voting “No” for opposite reasons. Alderman King voted against the amendment, saying that she does not believe the masking man-

came the full-time mayor of Branson in 2019.” Akers and his wife, Karen, have three grown children—David, John and Kari—as well as seven grandchildren and one great-grandchild, all of whom live nearby. When not busy serving the citizens of Branson, Akers enjoys spending time with his family and can frequently be seen attending sporting events and other activities, cheering on his grandchildren. Akers explained his basic beliefs and values, “I seek always to grow my relationship with Jesus Christ, my Lord and Savior. I cherish integrity and honesty. I believe we are called to serve others.” It was a love of Branson and a desire to make our city better that prompted Akers to run for mayor, and now to seek reelection. Said Akers, “We have faced a couple of very challenging years, but we’re on the path to a better future. I want to apply what I’ve learned, continue to serve this town I love and all her citizens, and move Branson forward with a united vision for our future. I believe my history, education and background in community service can help our city prosper.” Akers believes his conservative values and work ethics are some of the biggest strengths he brings to the office of mayor. “I believe I am called to serve my hometown and help it to be the best it can be,” Akers noted. “I’m
a good listener and always seek to find common ground that creates forward progress.” When asked what he feels are the three biggest issues currently facing the city and how he would address those issues, Mayor Akers explained, “First, Physical—The risk of flooding at the Compton Drive Wastewater Treatment Plant. First approval of engineering plans is underway, and the final round of funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development is in the works. This is a two-year infrastructure project that is critical to our community. Second, Mental—Pandemic stress is real in our city. I believe common sense and a steadfast approach to be safe, keep business open and protect our economy is the right solution. Fear and anger are nonproductive. We need to be positive, encourage each other, and show love. Third, Social—We have poverty, housing and addiction issues that must be addressed. By working with local agencies, charities and nonprofits, we can improve the conditions, increase the options, and help those who are struggling
build a better future for themselves, their families and our community.” If reelected, Mayor Akers stated that his first priority would be to work closely with the board of aldermen toward full mental and physical recovery from COVID-19, while focusing on important city business such as streets, sewers, water safety and the future of Branson. “If it’s true you learn the most during the tough times, I’ve gotten quite an education during my first term as mayor,” said Akers. “I want to take all that good learning and put it to work on behalf of our city for the next two years.” Despite challenges, Akers has a long list of accomplishments during his two years in office. According to Akers, that list includes working to secure necessary funding for the Compton Wastewater Plant flood prevention project, paying down significant debt with a refinancing initiative, and keeping the city open during the COVID-19 pandemic. Akers continued, “I brought emphasis on fiscal responsibility, order, and proper decorum while
carrying out city business. I encouraged highly qualified and dedicated public servants in my appointments and the screening and selection to fill a vacant alderman position. I assisted with the full annexation of the 76 CID to facilitate funding for the important and necessary revitalization of our tourism corridor.” Akers also listed working with health officials to improve living conditions or close unsafe or unsightly motel-style residential facilities, and adding and staffing an assistant city administrator position to improve communications and serve as a business liaison
March 26, 2021 • 5 among his accomplishments over the past two years. “I believe in the goodness of the citizens of Branson. Too often ‘squeaky wheels’ get lots of attention but do not represent the less vocal majority,” said Akers. “It is disappointing to me, the political games being played and the dishonesty and fiction being spread during this campaign. Our citizens deserve the truth, integrity and transparency in local government. I will not participate in disruptive politics, and I encourage every voter to do your research, ask people who know and trust, and vote your conscience on April 6.”

dation in the Staff Study is to say that it “relax[es) the use of face coverings and physical distancing for those individuals that are fully vaccinated.” The study does not mention that that relaxation applies primarily to vaccinated people when dealing with other vaccinated people or unvaccinated people from a single household who are at low risk for severe COVID-19 disease. Too, it fails to mention that the same CDC recommendations say that fully vaccinated people “Wear masks, maintain physical distance, and practice other prevention measures when visiting unvaccinated people from multiple households, and avoid medium and large-sized groups.” It goes on to say, “As of March 17, 2021, the Taney County Health Department has availability for SEE OLE SEAGULL, PAGE 12

City of Branson’s leadership staff helped gather information for the mayor’s staff report. The “Staff recommendation” is a reflection of the City of Branson’s leadership staff.” In the opinion of an Ole Seagull, the mayor’s original Staff Report and that of his “Branson’s leadership staff” is pathetically deficient in its slanted approach to reach a predetermined objective. The original Staff Report published by the city of Branson last
week, under the direction of the mayor, said that “as of March 17, 2021, 20.0% of Missouri, 13.8% of Taney County, and 17.5% of Stone County residents have initiated COVID-19 vaccination.” However, it did not state the obvious, that 80.0% of Missouri, 87.2% of Taney County, and 82.5% of Stone County residents have not “initiated COVID-19 vaccination.” Based on the Staff Study in Missouri, the simple math works out that for every person who has “initiated COVID-19 vaccination,” there are four who have not. A Branson theatre containing 500 people will have 100 who have “initiated COVID-10 vaccination” and 400 who have not. The report cites the CDC Recommendation entitled “Interim Public Health Recommendations for Fully Vaccinated People.” The only reference to that recommen-

By Tiffany Brown, Staff Writer There are times when I can boldly come before the throne of God with intentional fervency, certain of things hoped for through faith in the unseen. But then are other times when life is heavy, I’m pulled in a million different directions, pain cuts deep into my soul, and all I can do is weep in His presence like the woman who washed his feet with her tears. I used to think that my faith was weak in those times and that God was less likely to answer my desperate cries because of it. Recently during such a time I was
thinking, “Stop being such a baby, Tiffany!” Immediately, God brought back memories of my own children when they were babies. “Did your heart not ache for the cries of your children when they were in need? Did you ever deny them though they were unable to communicate with words? Tears were the way they verbalized their need, knowing you’d hear and answer. I am your Father and you are my child. Would I not care for you in the same way? When you don’t have words, I hear the groaning of your spirit. When you cry, I bottle each tear. Weakness
does not denote a lack of faith when you bring your struggles before Me. It means you know that I hear you and will come to your rescue.” My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise. Psalm 51:17 You keep track of all my sorrows; You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book. Psalm 56:8 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words. Romans 8:26

Reflections: Do I ever abandon Jesus? By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer After a long winter, particularly with the past year’s challenges, who isn’t looking forward to enjoying spring, including the celebration of Jesus’ resurrection?

formed and celebrated when he entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, but when he didn’t meet their expectations about the Messiah, some from those same crowds were likely in the mob calling for his death just a few days later. It’s easy to be annoyed with Judas, who questioned Jesus’ motives and methods to the point of agreeing to betray him, or Peter, who promised to
stick with Jesus no matter what and then denied knowing him. During an online group study this week, though, someone voiced this thought about Jesus’ closest friends: “Only Judas accepted money, but they all ran.” Uh-oh. Has that ever been me? Have I had the opportunity to speak up for Christ and not done so? While it’s important to be wise and not get caught up in foolish

conversation, do I boldly speak up when I could add Christ-like perspective? What about standing up for the defenseless, such as the unborn? Jesus said what we do for “the least of these,” we are doing as unto him. So, conversely, if I don’t speak up when the Holy Spirit prompts me or help others when I have the means to do so, am I denying Christ? I recently interviewed a young man named Jaylen who suffered bullying as a child because of “tics” associated with Tourette syndrome. Talking with him brought back memories of my childhood days, when a girl on my school bus endured unkind remarks about her clothing, her family’s rundown house, and her dad’s well-known alcoholism. I knew the teasing wasn’t right, but I never quite got the nerve to speak up. The best I could manage was an occasional smile on the playground, usually if my friends weren’t around. Although Jaylen’s parents were able to transfer him to a more favorable school environment, he asked his mother to take him back to speak to his former classmates. The event was covered by a local paper and eventually led to an award-winning foundation, Jaylen’s Challenge, which addresses bullying in schools

We can follow Jaylen’s example in finding ways to help the suffering. With the Holy Spirit’s guidance, we can speak up for the right thing. The same disciples who turned and ran became the core team for the spread of the gospel, many dying a martyr’s death for the cause of Christ. As we celebrate the atonement and the resurrection, let’s pray for renewed fervor in standing up for the cause of Christ.

knew he didn’t,” she says. “I wanted us to officially become two people fighting as one.” Lynne Yaggy, the Chief Nursing Officer and VP of Clinical Services at Cox Branson, has known the couple for years. In addition to her duties at the hospital, Yaggy is also an ordained minister—perfect for hatching a plan to host a hospital wedding. “Jimmy is the kind of guy who would literally give you the shirt
off his back without you even asking,” Yaggy says. “So, when I found out he wanted to get married, I knew that’s exactly what needed to happen.” Yaggy pulled together a small ceremony at Jim’s bedside this week at Cox Branson. She bought a beautiful bouquet for the bride, and nurses created a custom bridal veil made from nursing goggles and tissue paper. The couple even exchanged rings; Annette received the ring that belonged to Jim’s mother. “Jimmy really wanted to stand
up for the ceremony, but he was so weak,” Annette explains. “But, he’s feisty and found the strength to stand there and marry me. Those vows ‘For better or for worse’ keep us going right now.” Annette admits it’s difficult watching her husband struggle but finds strength in sharing stories about his glory days at Big Cedar—a job he loved and kept until he became ill. “Did you know he even taught Miss America to fish?” she says with a big smile. “When celebrities like Dierks Bentley or Barbara
Mandrell came to town, they’d go on a guided fishing tour with Jimmy. Those are such good memories for him! He was happiest on the water with his friends and family.” Annette, who says she’s not much of an angler but still had fun tagging along, had a recent realization about the meaning of true love—a realization that sparked a hard conversation with her new groom. “I begged him not to give up this fight,” she says while standing over his bedside with tears in her

By Stephanie Barney, Owner, Lightspeed Electric “The breaker is tripping again,” she said. “I can’t use the microwave and the Keurig at the same time,” she said. Ahhh…one of the common frustrations that accompanies this amazing thing we call electricity. Breakers that trip (or shut off) are a huge annoyance but often a problem that is easily solved. Many times a breaker trips simply because too many things are plugged into the same circuit at once. When this happens, you are usually able to reset it and then limit which appliances run at the same time. If you don’t enjoy the inconvenience of monitoring which appliances are in use, have your electrician install a dedicated circuit. A circuit that only powers the refrigerator or microwave will most often

resolve that issue quickly and safely. A breaker that continues to trip or will not reset is a sign of an underlying problem. This means that simply resetting or replacing the breaker WILL NOT solve the problem. Breakers trip due to overload, age, internal problems with appliances, incompatibility with the wire size, and several other reasons. Unless you abso-

Missouri’s annual No MOre Trash! Bash returns April 1
Submitted to Branson Globe The month of April marks Missouri’s annual No MOre Trash! Bash coordinated by the Missouri Department of Transportation. During the annual statewide anti-litter event, volunteers are encouraged to clean up litter adjacent to highways to help beautify Missouri.
The No MOre Trash! Bash is an annual outreach of MoDOT’s year-round litter control efforts. COVID-19 forced the cancellation of the event in 2020 out of safety concerns. Additional COVID-19 restrictions limited the use of nearly 240 work release prisoners and required social distancing for field operations
engaged in litter control performed by MoDOT staff. These factors have contributed to a marked increase in trash along Missouri’s highways. “Keeping Missouri’s highways clean is a shared responsibility between MoDOT, those who use our roadways and many of the volunteers who help every year to make
a difference in how this great state looks to the traveling public,” said Becky Allmeroth, chief safety and operations officer. “The Trash Bash is a great opportunity for students, civic groups and those looking to receive community service credit while they beautify their community. Over the years, our volunteers have made this program a success.” Last year, MoDOT spent $6.4 million to remove litter from more than 385,000 acres of roadsides along 34,000 state highway miles. The annual volunteer efforts to pick up litter along Missouri highway— including the Adopt-A-Highway program—have been valued at more than $1 million. “Every effort by the public to eliminate or clean up litter helps offset trash removal costs and allows
the department to put more money back into maintaining Missouri’s roads and bridges,” Allmeroth said. “We encourage our Adopt-A-Highway volunteers to do their section pickups in April, but we also invite anyone from the community who wants to help to join in for a onetime pickup.” This year’s No MOre Trash! Bash kickoff will include virtual events with Adopt-A-Highway volunteers, students and community groups. Trash bags and safety vests will be provided to groups engaged in litter pickup. Groups are encouraged to exercise special COVID-19 safety precautions. To learn more about how you can safely participate, visit www.modot.org/adopt-highway or call 1-888-ASK-MODOT.
Help beautiful Missouri and put litter in its proper place. (Special to Branson Globe)

anyone that wishes to be scheduled for a COVID-19 vaccine.” That statement seemed strange to an Ole Seagull because he is aware of people not eligible for vaccination under the current Phase of Missouri’s Vaccination Plan. On the morning of March 22, 2021, an email question was sent to Pettit asking for, “The basis for the reports conclusionary statement ‘As of March 17, 2021, the Taney County Health Department has availability for anyone that wishes to be scheduled for a COVID-19 vaccine…’ contained within that report.” Pettit’s reply contained no response to this question. The original Staff Study also provided for a Second Reading of the ordinance on March 23 to immediately make the repeal effective. Usually, Second
bransonglobe.com Readings the same night are reserved for emergency situations. The ordinance becomes final after its Second Reading as part of the Consent Agenda of the Board’s next meeting. At a Mayoral Candidates Forum, during closing remarks on March 20, Larry Milton, who favors the immediate repeal of the masking ordinance, challenged Mayor Akers saying, “Outside, of the election on April 6 what is the emergency that can’t wait until the Boards April 13, 2021 meeting for a Second Reading. During his closing remarks, Mayor Akers said that he would take the high road and not respond to any attacks. “Seagull, why do you think the Mayor and Branson’s leadership staff sponsored this ordinance at this time and in this manner?” “The Ole Seagull is going to take the ‘high road here’ but he just has to believe that’s a rhetorical question.”

Plans underway for 2021 veterans events By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Anyone who spends time in or around Branson knows that Veterans Week, Nov. 5–11, is a big deal, an important week of honoring local veterans as well as the many visiting veterans and friends who gather for the special events held each year. While the approach of spring weather is foremost in many people’s minds right now, it’s not too early to begin planning for a successful and special time next fall. A list of dates and special events is already in place at https://veteransshow.com and is updated regularly as new performances, celebrations and memorial services are added. Now is also the time to consider volunteering or sponsoring an event; information for doing so is on the site as well. For POW/MIA families, the pain and wondering never goes away regardless of the time of year. P.O.W. Network, which works year-round to

Stone County Library engages the community through activities By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Stone County Library is pleased to announce that several popular programs and activities for families, children and students will resume meeting in
person in April. Following nearly a year of adaptations due to COVID-19, the library will offer a full selection of programs at the Galena location, said library director Re-

becca Payne. Monthly programs include bingo (first Saturday), movie night (second Tuesday), and guided painting (third Thursday). Weekly programs include Monday “story times with Ms. Kelli,” and a Wednesday loom class; a baby story time (birth to 2 years) will start soon. A glance at the map shows that Stone County covers a lot of territory north to south, so in addition to Galena, the library has locations in Crane and Blue Eye. All three locations offered take-and-make crafts during the pandemic but are looking forward to gathering again. Craft programs include “Crochet at Crane,” an informal group meeting to chat and work on projects. Check the Facebook SEE LIBRARY, PAGE 15

The Facebook page also contains information for various reading groups meeting online. Be sure to sign up for The Stacks, the monthly library newsletter. Along with programming announcements, the newsletter reviews new book selections. The March newsletter recommended “The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek,” a historical fiction work highlighting the importance of reading in rural mountain areas during the Great Depression, perhaps made very relatable during the challenges of 2020 and 2021. The newsletter also offers tips for getting the most out of your library card, such
as resources for improving job skills and practicing for the GED and other standardized tests. Visit the website or email info@scl.lib.mo.us for info and to request a library card, free to county residents with proper identification. Students can enjoy core educational activities in a fun setting with STEAM Ahead, which meets on Mondays as both Galena and Crane have a four-day school week. Since internet service can be a challenge in mostly-rural Stone County, students taking online classes can reserve a computer or meeting room to use for classwork. Call the Galena branch at 417-357-6410, Crane at 417-723-8261, or Blue Eye at 417-778-3500 to reserve a time. Exam proctoring is also available by appointment. For Stone County residents unable to visit the library in person, Library Outreach Services offers “Books to Go,” which makes books, large-print titles,
audiobooks, magazines, DVDs, and digital resources available for delivery. Deliveries/pickups average every three to four weeks, arranged at a mutually convenient time, and can be special requests or staff recommendations based on the person’s interests.

Branson West ministry provides daily meals for students
By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer A new program is helping make sure kids in the Reeds Spring school district don’t go hungry between school lunch and returning to school the next day. Life360 Community Services, a ministry of Life360 Church network, is partnering with the school district to provide each student with a healthy snack at the end of the school day. Life360, based in Springfield
with locations in rural communities throughout southwest Missouri, isn’t about just adding churches and building numbers of adherents. Lead pastor Ted Cederblom’s vision for the church is to get acquainted with community leaders, ask what the needs are, and find ways to help meet those needs. Most often, the need is food, with an estimated one in six Missouri students being in a food-insecure situation at home and many not
having regular meals other than those provided at school. The situation was made even worse by job losses related to COVID-19. Life360 Community Services, based at the former Fairbanks Elementary School in Springfield, leverages grant funding through the U.S. Department of Agriculture as well as donations to provide food for the programs. The Reeds Spring program is coordinated through a new Bran-
son West location by Terry and Martha Witt, who relocated from California to join the Life360 team. The Witts are no strangers to meeting needs of children; they served as foster parents to over 100 youth through the California foster care system. Their three youngest children were adopted from foster care and now attend Reeds Spring schools. The Life360 community provides both financial and emotion-

al support as new pastors enter a community, enabling them to devote their time to serving and building relationships. The network also funds part-time jobs for staff to help run the program. “We’ve been blessed with a great team who really have a heart for the community,” said Martha Witt. The Witts are enjoying getting settled in Missouri, as having children in the school district provides opportunities to visit neighborhoods and meet other parents. From food secured through the USDA program for the entire network, the Witts pick up the Reeds Spring allotment and unload it at Branson West. Staff members sort it into tubs for each classroom and deliver the tubs to the school. Each meal contains a protein, grain item, vegetable, fruit and dairy product. Teachers also receive an enrichment activity such as a book SEE MEALS, PAGE 19

to share with the students. “Our percentage of students on free or reduced lunch was already high, but it got a lot worse when families lost jobs due to Covid,” said Reeds Spring Intermediate School principal Andrea Chavez. “This program is such a blessing. For some, it really comes at a good time.” The Life360 team gathers each school day to prepare food for distribution. (Photo by Cindy Thomas)

bransonglobe.com A message from Young’s Lakeside Tire & Wheel
What is a wheel alignment? A wheel alignment consists of adjusting the wheels of your vehicle so that all wheels are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the ground. Three basic angles contribute to proper wheel alignment: camber, caster and toe. Camber is the measure of the degree of perpendicular offset from the road surface. Caster is the angle of your wheel’s pivot, which is attached to the suspension, and when this angle
is out of alignment, straightline tracking is affected. Toe refers to the angle of directional difference between the tire and the centerline of the vehicle. The front and rear wheels on your vehicle should always be perpendicular to the ground and parallel to the tire beside it. Routine wheel alignments have the potential to save you money in the long run while promoting optimal vehicle performance.

King’s Chapel Branson announces Easter musical By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer King’s Chapel Branson will present the musical, “Birthday of a King,” Easter weekend at Music City Centre, 1839 West 76 Country Boulevard in Branson. Performances are Friday, April 2, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, April 3, at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, April 4, at 7:30 p.m. As a special Easter gift to the community, there is no charge to attend. Pastor Chris Davis said the full-scale, Broadway-style musical is an allegorical presentation of the entire gospel story,
styled similarly to fantasy allegories such as “Narnia.” It features a cast of over 50 singers, actors, and musicians, Nashville-produced music, and a story line that will inspire and entertain audiences of all ages. Written by Davis, the musical has been performed since 2000
at King’s Chapel locations and venues internationally, including translations into Russian and Spanish, but an entirely new segment, “Freedom in the King,” will debut with the Branson performance. New effects including theatrical flying have also been added. “The new con-

tent, plus the theatrical effects, will reach a whole new level of creativity for this performance,” said Davis. “We are so excited to bring this to King’s Chapel and to Branson in the context of the gospel message.” Although the musical performances are free to the public,
reservations are requested. Visit www.BirthdayOfaKing.com or call the box office, 417-4605200 to reserve your seat.

Your Sunshine Company offers hemp-based wellness products Submitted to Branson Globe Your Sunshine Company (also known as YSC) is the home of terpene infused hemp-based wellness products in the Branson Ozarks area since 2012. Compassion, knowledge and experience are words that describe YSC. A team very familiar with
CBD and the endocannabinoid system. One little “ditty” about us that you probably didn’t know is that we have added delta 8 THC to our line of hemp-based wellness products. What is delta 8 THC you asked? Well, delta 8 THC is a cannabinoid compound found in
hemp just like CBD. Delta 8 is a THC but is not as psychoactive as delta 9 THC—a totally legal THC encompassed in the Agriculture Hemp Act of 2018. Studies have shown it has the attributes to help combat inflammation, pain, sleeplessness, lack of appetite, nausea and a few other things.
Studies show delta 8 also binds to CB1 receptors in the endocannabinoid system just like delta 9 THC without causing the paranoia or anxiety of delta 9. Some of us in the field are calling this cannabinoid the real game changer. You can have the head and body feel without the ugly. YSC is always learning and digging into the hemp industry to help our community even more
because that is the passion that drives us in this particular field. YSC is helping those around us with all natural alternatives for an overall better way of life and rising to another need in our own community. We invite you to experience the difference with YSC and all of our hemp-based wellness products. We would love to help you!
