Summit encourages women to ‘Propel Her Forward’

Speakers for the day participated in a panel sharing an event that “propelled” them forward in their faith journey. (Photo courtesy Dr. Marla Ministries)

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Local women and out-of-town guests packed the Pointe Royale Clubhouse on Sunday afternoon, May 2, for the “Propel Her Forward” Women’s Summit hosted by local minister and TV host Dr. Marla Woodmansee.

As women greeted friends or made new ones while enjoying an hors d’oeuvres buffet, Dr. Marla opened the conference by sharing briefly from her personal testimony. Using the acronym, DANCE, she encouraged women to consider their Destiny, check their Attitude, Never give up, be Confident, and remember that God is Enough.

Actress Peggy Lee Brennan followed with the theme of “Dream a new dream—or live out an old one.” After entering pageants as a young girl and not winning, Brennan went on to a successful acting career, and then won the Ms. Senior America title in 2016.

Local businesswoman Danna Junck of Danna’s BBQ spoke from the scriptural admonition to take every thought captive.

Comparing damage done by rampant negative thoughts to an “unsupervised 2-year-old with a Sharpie running through your house,” she reminded attendees that while we can’t control circumstances, we can, with God’s

help, control how we react to them.

Several presentations combined spiritual encouragement with practical wisdom about physical issues faced by women.

Pharmacist Sonja O’Bryan, after a hilarious opener about the effects of aging, gave tips about managing migraine headaches, hormone issues and the effects of stress. Physical therapist Tracey Douthard reminded women that learning to know God as healer is a process of trust, using practical techniques and tools as he guides. Her talk, “Don’t Worry, Pee Happy,” addressed alternatives to the pills and pads that dominate TV commercials.

Author Harriet Ford rounded out the speaker panel with “I Need A Faith Lift,” using

scriptures and stories to remind women not to let the enemy steal their joy. To wrap up the afternoon, attendees enjoyed worship music with singer/guitarist Jacquie DeShetler.

The staff and board of Dr. Marla Ministries prayed about the summit for several years before it became a reality, and now they plan to make this time of fellowship an annual event. Mark your calendar now for May 1, 2022, and check in regularly on Facebook and at www.drmarla.org for updates about the summit and other special events, as well as links to encouraging messages by Dr. Marla.

Harlem Globetrotters return to Pets of the Week Silver Dollar City for summer season Tri-Lakes Humane Society, Reeds Spring

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer The Harlem Globetrotters, worldwide icons in the sports and entertainment arena, are returning to Silver Dollar City for the summer season.

Silver Dollar City and the Harlem Globetrotters are teaming up to present The Harlem Globetrotters Skills Showcase, a fast-paced, exciting new show created exclusively for Silver Dollar City. The Globetrotters will be a highlight of Silver Dollar City’s summer festival June 12 through August 8, 2021.

Founded in 1926, the Harlem Globetrotters are an American Exhibition basketball team that is known for their athleticism, artistry and comedy antics. Each game the Globetrotters play features amazing ball-handling skills, slam dunks and unmatched audience interaction. The Harlem Globetrotters have been fan favorites for more than 90 years. The team plays an average of 450 live events worldwide each year, and they have entertained presidents, popes, kings and queens throughout the world.

The Skills Showcase, The Globetrotters’ Silver Dollar City production, will provide a combination of showmanship, laughs and love of basketball that continue to make the Harlem Globetrotters popular with young and old alike.

In 2002, the Harlem Globetrotters were inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, the sport’s highest honor. To date, more than 750 athletes, both men and women, have played for the legendary team In 2013, the Harlem Globetrotters were purchased by Herschend Family Entertainment, parent company for Silver Dollar City, which has expanded the Globetrotters to even more markets and audiences.

Silver Dollar City is also home to a new restaurant, the Rivertown Smokehouse, located near the Mystic River ride, which opened last year, as well as a new bakery which is already well-known for serving up delicious cinnamon bread.

Now in its first full season, Mystic River Falls is quickly becoming

a favorite of SDC visitors.

“Our new one-of-a-kind Mystic River Falls offers four experiences in one ride – a nearly half-mile river ride, an eight-story lift tower, an elevated channel and the grand finale, a four-and-a-half story waterfall drop – making it the tallest river raft drop in the Western Hemisphere,” said Brad Thomas, President of Silver Dollar City Attractions.

Speaking of the park’s newest additions, Thomas added, “All that for families in summer of 2021, plus 40 rides and attractions and now the legendary skills of the world famous Harlem Globetrotters.”

Pandemic leads entertainer to Branson theater with new show

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer A new-to-Branson entertainer is headlining his own show at one of Branson’s busiest theaters.

Brian Clarke is the star of the Out of the Basement Show at the Branson Star Theater, home of multiple shows, including Nashville Roadhouse Live.

“It is basically an acoustic show, like ‘MTV Unplugged,’ “ said Clarke of his show. “Taking a bunch of iconic songs and stripping them down and kind of going back to the roots of the music. Where I grew up, we didn’t have garage bands, we had basement bands, so when I was trying to come up with a name for this show, considering it’s a stripped down acoustic show, and I came from playing in basement bands, the name just seemed to fit.”

Like many entertainers, Clarke developed a love for music at an early age.

“My mom took me to see my uncle’s band playing in a festival when I was 10, and after seeing that, I kind of became obsessed with music and decided way back then that this is what I wanted to do. I’ve been in the music business a little over 30 years now.”

Clarke explained that a wide range of music has influenced his own style of performing.

Said Clarke, “My musical influences are so broad, it’s really hard to list them, but I listen to anything from ‘50s and ‘60s country all the way up to today’s heavy metal and

everything in between.”

While he’s new to the Branson area, Clarke has already enjoyed a fascinating career in the field of music. “I’ve had two record deals and two really good albums and tons of recordings and session work,” Clarke noted. “Plus, just your basic career of performing for 30 years.”

It was a world-wide pandemic that led Clarke to Branson, Missouri.

“I was living in Georgia, and like everywhere else, Covid shut everything down,” explained Clarke. “I got a phone call about a theater that was opening in Branson, and they were looking for performers. One thing led to another, and here I am!”

The pandemic led Brian Clarke to Branson. (Special to Branson Globe)

When not performing or perfecting his own show, Brian serves as the lighting director for Stevie Lee Woods of the Nashville Roadhouse Live Show, also at the Branson Star Theater.

“I am also usually writing songs or in recording sessions,” said Clarke. “And, I have a wonderful family. I have a beautiful wife that’s basically my partner in this. I have four kids and three granddaughters, so keeping busy has never been a problem.”

Brian Clarke’s Out of the Basement show is held each Wednesday at 2 p.m. at the Branson Star Theater, located at 3750 West 76 Country Boulevard. For tickets or more information, contact the theater at 417-320-3418.

Added Clarke, “It’s a really unique show that I know people will enjoy. From what I’ve been told, it’s definitely something different as far as theater shows in Branson go, and I am honored to be able to do my show at the Branson Star Theater.”

By Gary J. Groman, a.k.a. The Ole Seagull How important are mothers?

Without mothers, natural life, as we know it, could not even begin.

After that beginning, the course of most people’s lives is dramatically influenced by their mother. There are some, including an Ole Seagull, who believe that the mold of a per-

son’s future has been cast at a very early age. Mothers play the primary role in shaping that mold.

Abraham Lincoln perhaps summed up the way many people feel about their mothers when he said, “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.”

In designing his great universe and his plan for his human children, God had many ways to bring new human life into the world. One of them could have been to have one of his heavenly angels bring each new baby into the world. Instead, he made a choice to use his “earthly angels” to bring His children into the world, mothers.

In implementing his plan for our

salvation, God could have had his Son, Jesus, brought down to earth on the shoulders of ten thousand angels. He chose, however, to have his Son brought into this world through the womb of his mother, Mary.

What a message God sent! He thought so much of mothers that he trusted his plan for salvation and the Savior of the World, “that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life,” to motherhood.

God is love and the very word “mother” inspires a special type of love. It does give a perspective as to why Rudyard Kipling might have written the words “God could not be everywhere and therefore he

made mothers.”

In earthly terms, perhaps Washington Irving said it best. He wrote, “A mother is the truest friend we have when trials heavy and sudden fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”

As we celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend, an Ole Seagull and the staff of the Branson Globe wish all mothers a “Happy Mother’s Day” and say, “Thank you!”

Breakfast at Tiffany’s: Don’t cut the tree down

By Tiffany Brown, Staff Writer Ever awe-inspiring to me is a tree in spring. As the temperature outside slowly rises, triggering it to awaken from its slumber, the beautiful growing colors awaken something inside all of us as well.

While the gentle fall of quiet white snowflakes in winter brings a sense of excitement to the drawn out, hum-drum months of bitter cold, the lack of color and life can become depressing. Everything looks as if it has died. But anyone who knows anything about trees would never cut one down in the winter simply because it looks dead. There may be little to no sign of life on the outside

and no evidence of growth, but there is still life deep down inside. Its roots continue to drink up water and nutrients from the soil. The tree is certainly not dead, it’s simply resting.

Much like trees in winter, many of us experience cold and bitter seasons of the soul. Circumstances consume us. Hope seems to fade. Times like these can make us feel like the life is literally being drained out of us. There are no words to pray and tears are a familiar friend.

Often called “dark nights of the soul,” we all experience seasons of heartbreak, loneliness, illness and death.

Charles Spurgeon, one of the most influential preachers of

the 19th century, spoke often of these dark seasons.

“Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.”

Let me encourage you, friend, that all is not lost. For it is during seasons of cold that the spirit strengthens itself for the days ahead. Spurgeon also said, “The bow cannot be always bent without fear of breaking.

Repose is as needful to the mind as sleep to the body...Rest time is not waste time. It is economy

to gather fresh strength.”

From Pharoah to presidents, leadership is hard

Cindy Thomas (FILE)

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Leadership is hard. Harry Truman famously said of the Presidency, “The buck stops here,” and that principle applies to leaders everywhere.

School superintendents absorb fallout for every district disaster, from unpopular personnel decisions to losing football teams. Pastors catch it if the worship music is too contemporary or not contemporary enough or the sermon hits a little too hard. The office manager has to match duties to skills and smooth out personality conflicts.

In the military, the higher the rank, the more responsibility for making

all you can do is take another breath and walk another step.

But as long as you have breath inside of you, there is hope inside of you as well! Don’t cut down the tree in winter simply because it looks dead. This season is not the end. Spring is coming, my friend! With a new season comes new growth.

The sunshine will warm your face again. Don’t lose faith, no matter how small it may seem.

Faith as a mustard seed can move mountains.

decisions that affect the lives of the troops and the success of the operation. You get the idea.

Studying the book of Exodus along with the First 5 app from Proverbs 31 Ministries, I recently felt a little sorry for Pharaoh. Yes, Pharaoh, the one brilliantly portrayed by Yul Brynner in “The Ten Commandments,” the one who threw Hebrew babies into the river, refused to let the Israelites depart and was eventually responsible for death across the land and the complete destruction of his army.

He definitely found out leadership wasn’t all it was cracked up to be.

Check out the story. The first three plagues affected everybody, but with number four, God began to differentiate between Egyptians and Israelites. By chapter 9, some of Pharaoh’s servants had figured it out and were trying to please the God of Israel. The pressure was on in chapter 11, as Pharaoh’s servants urged him to do as Moses requested. There was just one problem: the Israelites were doing all the heavy labor. In chapter 14, after the horrific final plague convinced Pharaoh to cooperate, those same servants asked, “Why did you let them go? Who’s going to do the work around here?” That leads to disaster for the Egyptian army trying to chase the Israelites down.

“Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” Isaiah 40:30-31 “Behold, I make all things new.” Revelation 21:5

Ultimately, of course, it was Pharaoh’s decision; after all, he was Pharaoh. But he was obviously surrounded by servants who vacillated in their position.

Sound familiar? Every President of the United States has advisors for decisions and policies, but when a decision goes south, they don’t always own that decision.

More than one church board was initially supportive of a building program or adding staff, but found it hard to hang in there when attendance and giving dropped with the

challenges of 2020. City councils and school board members found out it was pretty hard to please everybody with decisions about masks and activities.

I don’t want to feel too sorry for Pharaoh, because he missed the one thing he should have paid attention to: a clear message from God. God enabled Moses and Aaron to do miraculous signs that should have been convincing regardless of what the servants thought. Examples currently abound in our nation and

communities of leaders who have abandoned what is right in favor of what is popular. Keeping it closer to home, parents often fail to lead their children well because of cultural or financial pressures.

Let Pharaoh be a reminder to listen to God and lead well in our personal sphere of influence, and to pray for leaders as the Apostle Paul reminds us. Let our input to those leaders be scripturally sound, and if a leader commits to the right thing, let them hear our thanks and encouragement.

CAPITOL REPORT by Rep. Brian Seitz The last few weeks of session will be a flurry of activity.

Two of my bills were voted out of committee earlier this week: House Bill 952 and House Bill 1249. I’m hopeful that we will hear HB 1249 on the floor soon.

Here are some other bills that came to the House this week: HB 381 requires all non-charter counties, by the first Monday in March, to prepare and publish in a qualified newspaper a financial statement for the previous year.

HB 1061 provides that store front consumer-based retail trade establishments located in any county of the third or fourth classification may qualify for benefits under the Missouri Works Program.

HB 242 - Members of the Missouri House took action this week to protect vulnerable Missourians from predatory callers who hide their identities. The bill passed by the House would establish the “Caller ID Anti-Spoofing Act.” Earlier this week my bill, HB 1249, was voted out of the Rules - Legislative Oversight Committee. This is the final vote before it can head to the floor for consideration by the full House. This bill is nonpartisan and enjoys broad support on both sides of the aisle. HB

1249 recognizes PTSD as an occupational disease in police, firefighters and other first responders. I’m hopeful that we can pass this bill out of the House in an expeditious manner, so we can help those that sacrifice so much for us on a daily basis.

In addition to HB 1249 passing out of Rules Committee, HB 952 passed out of General Laws Committee during executive session on Monday. HB 952 would prevent the 1619 Project curriculum from being taught in Missouri schools. A committee substitute was created to expand the scope of my bill to include critical race theory as a whole. The 1619 Project is currently the most visible aspect of critical race theory, but we needed to expand the scope of this bill to ensure that other curricula relating to critical race theory cannot be taught in Missouri public schools. This is dangerous, Marxist theology designed to teach our students to hate themselves and America and it must be stopped.

I also attached an amendment to HB 37 that was passed on the House Floor in a voice vote.

This amendment addresses the issue of vaccine passports. This has been an important topic since the vaccine rollout be-

It is time for Missouri to take a stand against federal overreach, and I am proud to be a part of the resistance. I will continue fighting for you every day I serve in Jefferson City.

As the Representative of Missouri’s 156th District, my goal is to make all of my decisions with integrity and God’s guidance. As always, feel free to reach out if you need my assistance or have any questions.

For truth, justice and the American Way! I am here to serve.

What parents need to know

Residential & Commercial

By Silence Dogood, Guest Writer Does your child have an IEP or 504 plan? What does this mean to you and the child? I hear many times that parents think that the school has the best intentions for their child. In respect I would say that they sure try. However, the schools are bound by laws that they may or may not even understand and that parents most assuredly do not. In addition, the schools are shooting in the dark to figure out how to best serve students that they have limited knowledge of. They are not the experts on your children; YOU ARE. What you need is an understanding of the laws that guide their decisions. Let me give you a

Thank you for reading the quick o n malaws prostudents:

lesson three j o r that t e c t the In-

dividuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), Section 504, and the American Disability Act (ADA).

Each of these laws/acts have their own rules and regulations for children. One thing they have in common is the protection of rights for those who are disabled.

IDEA is education law requiring public schools to meet the unique needs of eligible K–12 students with disabilities. Schools do this by providing services. Section 504 is a civil rights law prohibits disability discrimination at schools that get federal funding.

Schools meet these requirements by removing barriers to learning.

The American Disability Act is a civil rights law which prohibits disability discrimination by schools, employers, and anyone who offers goods and services to the public.

In our next series I will discuss what all these mean to you as a parent and what you can do to advocate for your child. Have questions about special needs and schools? Feel free to email with any questions. 20USC1400@ gmail.com

Taproom offers unique experience in Hollister

By K. D. Michaels, Staff Writer One of the area’s newest and most unique gathering spots opened in historic downtown Hollister this April. Owned by Thomas and Heather Sattazahn, the Seven Arrows Taproom is also located in a historic building.

Explained Heather, “We purchased the building in November of 2020 and did a complete remodel. The building was built in 1904, and it is the oldest building in Hollister. We had to completely gut the building down to the studs. We replaced the flooring and walls, took out the apartment that was above the main room, put in new plumbing and electrical, and added central heat and air. We opened Seven Arrows Taproom with the goal to bring community and fellowship to those who love craft beer.

We have 24 taps. Twenty-two of them are dedicated to local craft beer from Missouri and Arkansas and two taps are sweet wine from Lindwedel Winery.”

Originally from Philadelphia, Tom moved to Branson in 1993.

He joined the Air Force, where he served from 1996 to 2000 and later graduated from Evangel College of Springfield. Tom owns his own construction company, Master Handyman, specializing in decks, fencing and remodels. Heather is native to

the Branson area. A graduate of College of the Ozarks, Heather has worked for Marriott’s Willow Ridge Lodge for more than 15 years.

“When my husband and I got together a few years ago, our date nights would include visiting Springfield and surrounding breweries, seeking out new beer to try, and finding live music to listen to, while still being able to carry on a conversation and get to know each other without distractions of a TV or the typical bar,” explained Heather, of the decision to open the Taproom. “The Branson/Hollister area doesn’t have a space like that so our goal was to create this concept with Seven Arrows Taproom.”

In addition to a wide variety of craft beer, the Seven Arrows Taproom offers live music on Friday and Saturday evenings.

“There are local bands from the surrounding area – Springfield, Branson, northwest Arkansas. Weather allowing, we host the music in the courtyard.

If it rains, we move the music inside,” explained Heather. “We are starting Beer Yoga, called Poses and Pints. It will be Saturdays at 11 a.m. We are partnering with another small business – Kom Hot Yoga.”

Since opening in early April, the Sattazahns and Seven Arrows Taproom have received tremen-

dous feedback. “The response has been great,” Heather noted.

“Everyone seems to be excited for the concept and to come check it out.”

When asked about the unique name of the new venue, Heather offered, “The name Seven Arrows comes from our family background. We are a blended family of seven kids. The verse Psalm 127: 4-5 says ‘Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one’s youth.

Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them.’”

Located at 260 Birdcage Walk in Hollister, the Seven Arrows Taproom is open seven days a week. Hours are 2 p.m. until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 12 p.m. until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and 12 p.m. until 7 p.m. on Sundays. For more information on the Seven Arrows Taproom, visit their Facebook page, www.facebook.com/sevenarrowstaproom. You can also find the beer menu for the Taproom on untappd.com.

“One of our goals is also to give back to the community,” Heather added. “A percentage of profit each month will go to a local nonprofit.”

Vintage Vault and Mercantile opens in downwtown Branson

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer A new Branson store offers much to visitors. Owned by Bill Bamsch and wife Susan Halfacre

Bamsch, the Vintage Vault and Mercantile is a unique new shopping experience located in a historic Branson building.

“Vintage Vault is three-fold,” Susan explained. “It is a place to visit frequently for unique home and lifestyle decor items. We are, daily, searching throughout a multi-state region for unique items to save, improve upon or repurpose from their original use. In short, we like to say ‘Reclaim. Restore. Repurpose.’

We also like to have a mix of new items to complement the vintage or antiques. Lastly, we wanted a local presence where our talented artist friends could showcase their unique approach to art, whether it be luxurious painted furniture or incredible woodworking furniture and decor. We also have artists who create art through woodburning and metal works. Unique pieces and pieces we find new purposes for is our goal.”

Susan and Bill completely restored the building housing Vintage Vault, located in a historic building in downtown Branson.

Situated on Veterans Boulevard at the intersection of Atlantic, the building, constructed in 1937, was “a piece of Branson history that needed rebuilding,” according to

Susan.

Susan and Bill both graduated from College of the Ozarks before moving away to pursue careers.

The couple moved back to the Ozarks six years ago, where Bill opened the History of Fishing Museum, and Susan sought a career as a realtor.

“Living on Table Rock Lake in Branson was always the retirement plan. We just jumped the gun a little bit,” Susan explained.

The couple plans to continue in their respective careers – Bill as museum curator and Susan in real estate, while simultaneously operating the Vintage Vault. Susan will maintain a real estate office adjacent to the Vintage Vault and Mercantile. One side of the building is being renovated as office space for Susan while the other side serves as the home to the Vintage Vault.

Bill and Susan have also partnered with another couple to help in this endeavor.

“We are excited to have business partners, Brian and Tammy Johnson, join our team to widen our ability to search for unique

treasures,” Susan noted. “Tammy and Brian are from Harrison, Arkansas. Brian and his company, Semper Fi, served as our general contractor. Tammy and I are responsible for the treasure hunting to ensure every visit is new and exciting.”

Additionally, the Vintage Vault and Mercantile has a talented and hard-working manager. Explained Susan, “After purchasing the building in October 2020, we immediately began searching for our first employee. While the very visible transformation was in full swing, behind the scenes work was just as important. The first employee is such an integral part of the organization. After conducting an employment search in Missouri and Oklahoma, we found an employee that had the bandwidth to conquer a very aggressive job description.

Valerie Olds, originally from Carthage, Missouri, and living in Sparta, Missouri, was recruited for the job. Valerie will serve as the store manager, in charge of day-to-day operations. We are currently interviewing other candidates to join as sales associates.”

The Vintage Vault and Mercantile opened on May 1, at 204 Veterans Boulevard in Branson. Store hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., and Sunday from noon until 6 p.m.

The store is currently closed on Monday and Tuesday. The Vintage Vault website is currently under construction, but they can be found on Facebook at Vintage Vault and Mercantile.

“We are especially excited to save a piece of downtown Branson history and be a part of its restoration,” Susan explained.

“These buildings were once Branson’s original grocery store, a print shop, a laundromat, and most recently a family-owned business for decades operating as Branson’s first ‘One Dollar’ store and then flea market. We hope previous business owners are proud to see their building restored.”

City of Branson government wins statewide award for changes during pandemic Submitted to Branson Globe The Missouri Municipal League (MML) has announced the City of Branson local government as the winner of the 2021 MML Innovation Award for its Parks & Recreation Department’s ability to embrace change during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Innovation Award showcases municipal governments that have successfully implemented and demonstrate new approaches for solving municipal challenges.

During the year of COVID, especially the initial phase, the Parks & Recreation Department came up with a new approach for fresh and impactful programs to serve a community during a pandemic.

Examples of this include a senior meal delivery program, new virtual programs and online pool ticketing. Many of these new programs and ideas have led to permanent positive innovation, process streamlining,

and an increase in the Department’s digital platform. To learn more about the Parks & Recreation’s facilities, parks, trails and programs, visit the Parks & Recreation’s website.

“I’m incredibly proud of the way the entire Parks & Recreation Department came together during a difficult time to find creative ways to continue to

serve our residents and community. This quality is indicative of all departments within City Hall and the City of Branson’s municipal government. We are always looking for innovative ways to improve and to work together to put our residents and community first,” said Branson Parks & Recreation Director, Cindy Shook.

The city of Branson went against seven other cities of similar size for this prestigious award that honors outstanding projects happening in communities across Missouri that enhance the quality of life for Missouri cities. Learn more about the MML Innovation Awards Program and this year’s winners on the MML’s website.

Free tree giveaway to be held at Hollister Farmers Market May 22

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer Joanna Burdorf of Hollister calls herself “an original tree-hugger.”

Since 1969, she has been committed to preserving natural resources, properly caring for the earth, and helping educate others. Burdorf, now 90, has celebrated Earth Day and spring by distributing over 30,000 free trees in the last 15 years.

On Saturday, May 22, she will be giving away 40 free trees at the Hollister Farmers Market, 108 Chad Lane.

Burdorf has built many connections over the years, networking with seed banks worldwide and studying the work of health practitioners and environmental scientists including Dr. Norm Shealy and Dr. Gladys Taylor McCarey, with whom she speaks regularly. “We’re supposed to be healthy, not miserable and sick,” she says. “Restoring and preserving the balance of miner-

als God created is a big part of that.”

“Missouri is blessed to have clean air compared to lots of places,” says Burdorf, “but so many people don’t really think about how vital trees are to keeping it that way. We need to stop the indiscriminate cutting and burning. There are other ways

Joanna Burdorf and her assistant, Addy Virtk, will be on hand to talk trees and nature on May 22.

to manage our wonderful forests.”

The free trees are provided by the Missouri Department of Conservation each year, but Burdorf realizes many people don’t take the time to order them, pick them up, and plant them properly. She has made it easier for people by or-

dering the trees in bulk so they can be picked up locally. The trees will be individually packaged in Love Dove burlap bags filled with sea minerals, seaweed, kelp and composted leaves. Since the bag itself is biodegradable, the entire thing can go right into the ground, helping to

restore valuable soil microbes.

Burdorf is looking forward to meeting and chatting with fellow nature and health enthusiasts on May 22. The Hollister Farmers Market is open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and the trees will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Two new restaurants opened their doors this week on the famous Branson strip.

Rowdy’s Cheesesteaks and Shakes is located at 1412 West 76 Country Boulevard. Housed in the former Baba’s Burgers and Gyros location and previous home of Dunkin’ Donuts, Rowdy’s offers a variety of delicious hoagie-style sandwiches and sides. Ice cream lovers will enjoy the many flavors of sundaes and shakes, and a kids’ menu makes them a favorite with families.

Rowdy’s is open 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 11 to 6 on Sunday. Current-

ly, Rowdy’s Cheesesteaks and Shakes is closed on Mondays.

Another new restaurant, Local Flavor, is now open in the former Buckingham’s Restau-

rant and Sadie’s Sideboard facility at 2830 West 76 Country Boulevard. Local Flavor offers a relaxed atmosphere, rustic decor and a full menu of home

Ground rules

By Stephanie Barney, Owner, Lightspeed Electric The electricity that flows through your fixtures and appliances utilizes the hot wire and the neutral wire to complete the circuit safely. These are the two prongs you see on most plugs.

The majority of modern day plugs have a third prong. The third prong connects to the ground wire, and it plays a very important role in your home’s electrical system.

What is grounding?

In a properly wired circuit, the neutral and ground wire play a crucial role in providing a safe path for the flow of unused electricity. They also ensure that a short circuit, or any other electricity traveling where it should not, has a safe path to return to the earth. Throughout your home, wiring and metal surfaces are tied into this grounding system to prevent electrocution. If you live in an older home (pre-1960s), you may not have a grounding system in place.

Stephanice Barney, Owner (Special to Branson Globe)

If your home has any two-prong outlets, they are not grounded. This is a problem because cords that have the third ground prong cannot be plugged in, and too often people remove the third prong to try and make a plug fit. Never remove the third prong on a plug. This puts you and your family at great personal risk for electrocution. It also makes your home more susceptible to fire and can cause irreparable damage to your appliances and electronics.

If your home has two-prong outlets, you cannot simply replace the two-prong ones with three-prong ones, as the outlet itself does not provide protection. If you are concerned about whether your home has a safe grounding system, call the professionals at Lightspeed Electrical Services, 417-239-5050.

Bookends from the Taneyhills Library Do you think libraries only have old books? Not at Taneyhills Library! Our library members want bestsellers and new release books.

New titles arrive weekly. Below is just a small sample of what’s recently been added to the library.

“Sooley” by John Grisham A f t e r 17-year-old Samuel “Sooley” Sooleymon receives a college scholarship to play

basketball for North Carolina Central, he moves to Durham from his native, war-torn South Sudan, enrolls in classes, joins the team, and prepares to sit out his freshman season. Sooley has a fierce determination to succeed so he can bring his family to America, working tirelessly on his game until he dominates everyone in practice. When Sooley is called off the bench, the legend begins.

“The Van Gogh Sisters” by Willem-Jan Verlinden Many people are familiar with the life and art of Vincent van

Gogh, and his extensive correspondence with his brother Theo.

But their sisters—Ana, Lies and Wil van Gogh— have gone overlooked until now. In this compelling group biography based on extensive primary resources, art historian Willem-Jan Verlinden brings Vincent’s three sisters into the spotlight. At a time when the feminist movement was beginning to take root and idealists were clamoring for revolution, the van Gogh sisters recorded their aspirations and dreams, their disappointments and grief. Based on little-known correspondence between the sisters, this fascinating account of these remarkable women captures a moment of profound social, economic and artistic change.

“When the Stars Go Dark” by Paula McLain Anna Hart is a seasoned missing persons detective in San Francisco with far too much knowledge of the darkest side of human nature. When unspeakable tragedy strikes her personal life, Anna, desperate and numb, flees to the Northern California village of Mendocino. She spent summers there as a child with her beloved grandparents, and now she believes it might be the only place left for her to heal. Yet the day she arrives, she learns a local teenage girl has gone missing. Anna is in no condition to become involved with the search--until a childhood friend, now the village sheriff, pleads for her help.

Hello again from Your Sunshine Company Submitted to Branson Globe We just wanted to let you in on another thing we do as a hempbased wellness company right here in the Branson Ozarks.

We have a broad selection of hemp-based wellness products including Delta 8, but did you know that we offer free one-on-one consultations for custom blend formulations? Should you find our already superb blends aren’t exactly what you need, our lab will create a custom formulation just for you after a consultation and research have been completed. This happens to be another one of the things that drives YSC as a company — helping people

with a natural alternative for better desired results. To schedule a consultation, call 417-335-3777, or visit one of our three locations.

Terpenes are natural plant compounds that have medicinal attributes to them and are true counterparts to cannabinoids assisting in the entourage effect for better overall desired effects. YSC understands terpenes and how important they can be to overall natural health.

Take for instance our YSC Clementine CBD Blend that is in store; it has 31 terpenes with a citrus flavor and the energizing focused sativa effects attributed to it. Available in three different

mg strength levels, two of those are full spectrum with minimal amounts of THC and one of those a broad spectrum free of THC (1,000 mg, 1,500 mg and 2,000 mg). It is a great CBD blend all by itself and can be reformulated to adjust specific terpene ratios for desired results for an individual.

Ask yourself – how many companies out there go to this kind of extent with their hempbased wellness products? We invite you to come experience the difference with YSC, where you will find compassion, knowledge and experience. YSC has been serving the Branson Ozarks since 2012.

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Big Cedar Resort, in conjunction with the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), recently hosted local students for a “First Green” program, an environmental program designed to offer hands-on, STEM learning in a nontraditional setting.

A number of eighth-grade students from nearby School of the Ozarks enjoyed an educational and fun-filled day at Ozarks National Golf Course, where they partici-

pated in environmental learning labs, which included collecting soil samples, studying wildlife environment management, and learning about the technology and tools used in the golf course maintenance. Students also learned how to apply their math skills to situations on the golf course.

“First Green” and other similar programs are part of Johnny Morris’ vision to connect people to nature through golf, according to a press release.

Branson United Methodist conducts COVID-delayed ‘Socktober’ Submitted to Branson Globe Members of the Branson United Methodist Church’s Outreach Team recently participated in their COVID-delayed “Socktober” project. This project, which collects and delivers packages of new socks and underwear to local schools, has traditionally been held in October

to coincide with start of the school year. However, with the disruption of the school year caused by the COVID-19 virus, the program was put on hold until April.

Thanks to a generous three-year grant of $15,000 from Masonic Lodge #587, facilitated by Mason Bob Huels, and over $6,000 donat-

ed by members of the church, the Outreach Team was able to purchase thousands of pairs of socks and packages of underwear that were distributed to the Branson, Hollister and Kirbyville School Districts last week

by Pastor Eric Derks, church administrative assistant Teresa Davis, and church members Larry Johnson and

Mike Nangle. Team members Mike and Marta Nangle, and Eric and Jamey Derks had earlier sorted and packed the socks and underwear for delivery.

According to Branson United Methodist Church Leadership Team chair Mike Nangle, the purpose of the project is to reach out into the

community and provide for a need that most do not realize exists. “It is our way of helping meet a need that is very basic for some of the children in our school districts,” said Nangle.

The church also has an active motel ministry program that provides hot meals every other Monday night to two local extended-stay motels.

‘From Tragedy to Triumph,’ Loretta’s story on ALG Submitted to Branson Globe Loretta Smail shares her personal story of a challenging childhood. What it was like growing up with an alcoholic parent and how her mother married an abusive man. She shares how her mother died in a murder/suicide when she was only 15 years old, holding her mother as she died. Hopelessness confined her to a bed of depression for many years, but then one day the light came on. Loretta realized she could stay in that bed of depression, or she could choose to be a voice bring healing to others. She shares practical steps how she overcame the severe depression, including the importance of forgiving and giving God 100% of her life. Her desire is to see others released, forgiven, and to step into purpose.

Loretta has been married for 30 years to a wonderful husband and has two beautiful grown daughters. She is a singer and songwriter. She is part of the

ROCKS on Saturday May 8 at 7 p.m. central; 8 p.m. eastern, produced by the Branson Gospel Singer Songwriter Association in Branson, Missouri.

BEING SAVED BY THE WHOLE PLAN OF SALVATION FOUND IN GOD’S WORD Jesus said in John 8:32, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” He’s talking about being free from sin so you can go to Heaven! We would like to show you how the doctrines and commandments of men’s books are leading people away from God in these last days on earth. Yes, folks, Jesus said in Matt. 15:9, “But in vain do they worship me teaching for doctrine the commandments of men.” So these man-made books are not the word of God found in the Bible! It’s very popular today for commandments of man-built groups to tell you to just “have faith only and pray” for Jesus to come into your heart and you will be saved by faith only! This statement is not found in the Holy Bible, the word of God! This statement is not true! Listen to the book of James that tells us we are justified by obedient works of God, and not by faith only.”

James 2:24, “You see then how that by works a man is justified and not by faith only” KJV. Do you see, by this Bible statement, that God’s word goes directly against commandments of men’s books?” Men teach “faith only” salvation. God’s word teaches, “justified not by faith only.” This is right the opposite of what God teaches in the Bible. It’s also very popular for other man-made book

JESUS CHRIST IS CALLED THE PRINCE OF PEACE. “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” - Ephesians 4:3 groups to tell you only one, two, or three things to do using Bible verses to show you they are using the Bible to teach, but they never go all the way with the full plan of salvation that’s found in the Bible, which is the rest of the story!
