sharing the history behind our National Anthem. A presentation of the flag followed, and the afternoon event was opened in prayer.

Theater owner and entertainer Dan Britton offered a warm welcome and vocal group Pierce Arrow sang the National Anthem.

Master of Ceremonies, Clay Cooper, introduced Governor Mike Parson, who thanked Britton and Pierce Arrow for making the event possible.

“It is great to be in Branson, where common sense prevails,” said Governor Parson.

“I truly respect our country,

and I still want the American dream to stay alive. The only way it’s going to stay alive is with me and you.”

Those in attendance, many decked in red, white and blue, and waving flags, also heard moving messages from U.S. Congressman Billy Long, Missouri Senator Mike Moon, and State Representative Brian Seitz, all of whom shared their thoughts on the values of God and country that Branson continues to uphold.

Longtime Branson entertainer Doug Gabriel performed a stirring version of “God Bless the USA,” followed by Clay Cooper who shared his rendition of the Merle Haggard classic, “Fightin’ Side of Me.”

Mayor Larry Milton addressed the audience, stating, “I have the honor of being the mayor of the best city in our nation. Branson celebrates our veterans all year long, and I couldn’t be more proud of this city.”

The crowd moved outside for the highlight of the afternoon – the long awaited unveiling of a touching piece of artwork, adorning a 100-foot wall and stating, “We stand for the flag.

We kneel for the cross.”

Following the unveiling, those in attendance were given the opportunity to sign the mural, signifying our community’s commitment to honor God and our veterans and our country.

July 9, 2021, at the Veterans Memorial Gardens located at 102 Crosby Street, West Highway 76 and Roark Valley Road in Branson.

This ceremony started out as a way for the Veterans and Military Coalition of the Ozarks to salute Ben, a former Marine. “It has snowballed into something wonderful; everyone wants to be a part of it,” Dub White, president of the organization said. “VMCO

is proud to be a part of this meaningful event.”

To show appreciation, the following keynote speakers will be in attendance for this ceremony: Mike Moon, Missouri State Senator 29th District; the City of Branson; Jack Herschend, Silver Dollar City; Dub White, President of VMCO; Lisa Saylor, director Constituent Services for Congressman Billy Long; and Craig Buck, emcee, Compassus Hospice and volunteer chaplain for VMCO. Additional speakers have not been confirmed at this time.

Over the past few years, under the guidance of master gardener Ben Kinel, the Veterans Memorial Gardens, has become the perfect location to welcome Branson visitors every day. The once weedy hillside has grown into a beautiful landscaped terrace with a profusion of flowering trees, shrubs and plants of all kinds. The Veterans Memorial Garden is dedicated to veterans of all branches of service. It was established and is maintained by citizens who enjoy gardening and appreciate the sacrifices that legions of Americans have made while serving in the

Branson hospital staff foil attempted parental kidnapping Submitted to Branson Globe On June 28, 2021, Branson police officers responded to the Labor and Delivery floor at Cox Medical Center Branson for a report of a male attempting to kidnap an infant. Officers quickly arrived and were able to arrest the suspect, who is also the baby’s father.

The initial investigation revealed that the new infant was a ward of the state and that the father attempted to leave the floor with the child in a duffel bag. An alert nurse felt something was wrong and challenged the male, who attempted to flee the area.

Due to security measures, the male was unable to leave the monitored obstetrical unit and was contacted by hospital se-

curity. The security officer was able to detain the male until officers arrived and arrested him.

“We are proud of the way Cox Medical Center Branson handled this situation and the partnership that the police department has with them. This is why it is so important for all organizations to have a plan in place

and to regularly train for those “what if” scenarios,” said Branson Police Chief Jeff Matthews.

The suspect was charged with felony endangering the welfare of a child by the Taney County Prosecuting Attorney’s office.

This is a continuing investigation and no further information is available at this time.

“Everyone is invited to be a part of this event for someone very special in our community,” Ed Wilson, VP and Director of Veteran Services of VMCO said. For more information, go to www.vmco1.org or https:// www.facebook.com/VMCO1.

Pat Lamb (FILE)

By Pat Lamb Many of us are familiar with the commercial that was so popular a few years ago where a little old lady demanded to know “Where’s the beef?” She was referring to hamburgers in the commercial. I am reminded of this commercial many times when I view some of the children’s programs and books that are available now. I keep wondering, “Where’s the meat?” It seems that much of what is being done with children now tends to be more entertaining than contain real value for children. That is not to say that chil-

dren should not be entertained and have fun while learning. Of course, most children like fun, but the real objective should be the teaching of values and information with the fun part as a by-product or side issue.

There are times in life when we have to do things that are not fun, and children need to learn that principle.

Our present-day society provides so much entertainment for children that often we feel that we must compete to keep the attention of a child.

This leads to shallowness when dealing with serious topics. It is difficult to hold the attention of children very long, so we find ourselves doing whatever it takes to keep their attention. Some of this is fine, but there are times when a child needs to simply learn to sit still and listen.

We sometimes tend to glide over some things simply to get through the lesson.

There was a time, when I taught kindergarten, that parents brought children to me and said, “You have

CAPITOL REPORT by Rep. Brian Seitz SB 1 - SB 1 which reauthorizes the FRA (Federal Reimbursement Allowance) was a critical need to ensure Missouri’s budget is financially solvent. The Missouri House passed it twice during the regular session, and again on June 30 during the extraordinary session.

HB 2 - We passed HB 2 to reaffirm our sacred belief in human dignity and protecting the right to life. We are proud to lead this fight in Missouri to protect those who

cannot protect themselves, from passing the heartbeat bill two years ago until today to make Missouri a national leader in the pro-life movement. These two priorities were not mutually exclusive. We must never diminish the value of the unborn, while we must also be fiscally-responsible and conservative stewards of the budget so that we do not pass debts onto our future generations.

Missourians send us to Jefferson City to do both, and today the House

my permission to spank him!” Can you see that happening now? Teachers walk a thin line trying to get children to learn without upsetting them. Children know teachers are not allowed to spank and many take advantage of this fact. In many cases, if students thought they could be spanked, the spanking would not be necessary. As teachers walk this thin line, they know they cannot demand children perform past a certain point, or the child and the parents will get upset. This forces the teacher to let the child get by with things that prevent the depth of learning they need.

In church situations, teachers and leaders must deal with the fact that a child may not return to church if made to behave appropriately. Many parents do not require their children to attend church and leave it up to the child to decide. This fact forces church workers to have to be very careful not to upset a child by providing discipline for proper behavior. At the same time, we need to

remember that the whole purpose of getting a child to church is to teach that child ways of behavior pleasing to Jesus. When we fail to do that, we are teaching a child by default that it is all right to misbehave.

Children now have colorful books that talk or even smell when you scratch them. Some books have foldouts with hidden things beneath. Much of this is great. It would be even better if values for living were incorporated in the text, but often they are flat when it comes to a story plot. Since teachers and leaders of children are so restricted, we really need to choose the materials carefully that contain “meat” for children. Those working with children need to choose movies, games and activities that do not only fill up time, but teach what children need to know.

They also need to require behavior acceptable to Christ, but it must be required in a loving way.

Let’s remember that children have real problems, and they need real solutions to those problems.

delivered on both fronts.

I had a great time traveling the state with my fellow freshman legislators recently. We traveled to many locations throughout the state: from the Taum Sauk Energy Center to Elephant Rock State Park to Chillicothe, learning about our state and building relationships with other legislators along the way. Hopefully this experience and the relationships built will help me pass critical legislation that will

benefit the whole state.

Reflections: Perspectives on fear

Cindy Thomas (FILE)

Guest post by Tom Center Veteran Tom Center of Branson served in the Navy during the Vietnam War, for which he received numerous awards and citations including the Purple

Heart and the Navy Achievement Award. He later served in the Army. He is active in veterans’ organizations and says in spite of the many challenges, the military changed his life in positive ways. He also spent several years in law enforcement, holds degrees in sociology and secondary education, and has taught in a variety of settings including high school, college, the military and occupational safety. Tom and his wife, Sandy, are active in their church, teaching Sunday school and leading a life group.

Tom’s book, “The CrossRoads Diaries,” based on his Vietnam experience and reflecting on personal decisions and eternity, has been helpful to many veterans dealing with PTSD. Tom and Sandy served as mentors with the recent graduating class from the Elevate Work program. You will enjoy this

post, based on a devotional Tom shared with the student he mentored. – Cindy Thomas Fear . . . of the unknown or the known, whether past, present, or future, grabs us as nothing else can. Fear—we run from it, we look for it, we don’t want it, and we accept it, all the while knowing fear describes an emotion, a state of mind, or an exhilarating experience. Fear—some crumble, some take a stance, some run away, some charge, only to feel fear again! Fear can be a blessing, because of Who created it!

Growing up in a family that attended church regularly because my dad was the music minister, I heard many Bible studies or sermons about Gideon. Throughout life, now into my 70s, I had always thought Gideon started off as a timid coward, fearful of everything. But after reading Judges 6:11 through 8:33 carefully, I

no longer believe that.

In the Bible we are introduced to Gideon as he is secretly being productive, providing wheat for his family clan. His chosen place for productivity is in a winepress, so the marauding enemy does not see him or the food he is producing. That is evidence of being wisely fearful. While working, he is visited by the Angel of the Lord (maybe Christ pre-incarnate) who calls him a “Mighty Warrior” (verse 12). While Gideon does acknowledge that he is not a leader of men, he puts his fears aside and is brave enough to confront God’s messenger. He does it several times, to a point that we have the saying, “putting out a fleece.”

Gideon is told to gather up an army. It would not make sense that he was timid and a coward, because 30,000-plus warriors respond. He had so many that God had him reduce them to approxi-

mately 1% of the original number so that God, not Gideon, would get the credit for the victory. He finally accepts God’s plan and becomes the leader God intended.

We should follow Gideon’s example of allowing God to lovingly plan and place us where he wants us. Consider what Jesus says in Matthew 10:26-27, “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.”

Knowledge of God leads to obedience. Obedience reduces fear. Do not fear whom you are battling. The least can be the strongest, when you know God. How is God reassuring you in your life or giving you the strength to face your fear? How is God showing you to have godly fear?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: ‘I would rather be selfish over self-righteous’

I have never written an opinion to a newspaper, much less a rebuttal to someone else’s opinion. I simply needed to respond to your remarks concerning COVID-19 and the vaccine.

Article named: “Will our selfishness enable the continued spread of Covid?” Printed in the Branson Globe, dated June 25, 2021.

You stated in your opinion article, people that don’t get the vaccine are selfish.

You called people that will not, or have not taken the Covid vaccine, selfish. You reiterated that belief with absolute certainty.

You used the Merriam-Webster Dictionary to define selfishness.

So, I used a dictionary to define fear.

The dictionary defines fear as, “the emotion of being afraid, of feeling danger, or that evil is

near.” It’s an “uneasy or anxious thought.” Synonyms are “dread” or “alarm.” Dread is defined as “a great fear.” The Greek word for fear in the New Testament is “delios.” It means “to dread; timid” (by implication). It means “faithless” or “fearful.” Since Scripture links fear to faithlessness, then fear must be a form of sin. This is probably a new thought to most of us.

I submit to you, sir, they are not selfish! The WORLD, from where I sit, does everything through or from FEAR. Please read Rev: 21-8.

Fear is linked with some very serious and damaging sins in this verse. The penalty, too, is very serious. He lists fear as sin, right next to murder, sorcery, idolatry and lying.

The fear of flying to some folks is debilitating and scary.

To others, not being able to fly

to see their grandchildren is scary or not being able to go on a cruise, if they’re NOT fully vaccinated. How about the fear of losing your job or not being able to go to college because you don’t want or refuse the vaccine?

All of these things can cause great fear especially when you are coerced, through fear, into making decisions that you would not ordinarily make.

Franklin D. Roosevelt said it this way: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

The First Amendment to the Constitution gives you the right and freedom to write your article.

However, you want to take away the right of all those who choose not to take the experimental vaccine by suggesting that we are selfish. If we don’t agree with you and take an unproven vaccine, then we must be wrong. (If you can call it a vaccine?)

I loved how you threw us under the bus with your conspiracy theorist remark. Really? So the ones who disagree with your opinion are labeled as a conspiracy theorist?

You also said: “An Old Seagull has to believe that most reasonable persons know that most of the continuing spread of Covid and its variants are caused by those who have not been vaccinated.” You need to get better resources. Would it surprise you to learn, a lot of people now getting Covid have been fully vaccinated? I know, I know, you would say, “If the unvaccinated were vaccinated, this wouldn’t be an issue.” I might say, “Maybe your vaccine doesn’t work if it needs others to be injected so yours can work?”

Would it surprise you that the first cruise ship to sail in North America this year, the Celebrity

Millennium, with all fully vaccinated passengers, had many test positive for Covid. WHAT! How did that happen?

Your opinion is trying to take away others’ freedoms. Freedom of choice, by shaming, belittling and coercing others, and name calling is un-American and undeserved.

Let me finish up by saying, “If I don’t like guns, I don’t buy one. If you don’t like guns, you don’t want anyone to buy one.

If I don’t want a vaccine, I don’t get one. If you like vaccines, you label everyone that doesn’t get one as selfish.”

Ole Seagull, please prune your own feathers and leave mine alone!

Given a choice, I think I would rather be selfish over self-righteous.

audience questions selected from four topics: Principles of Liberty, Behind the Bill of Rights, U.S. Constitution, and Stories from the Miracle of America. Norton’s extensive research has enabled him to incorporate into his presentations many writings reflecting the intent of America’s founders.

One big takeaway for some attendees was understanding the difference between freedom, defined as the ability to do as one pleases without any obstruction, and liberty, which means freedom with boundaries—established by representatives of the people—to pre-

vent one individual’s freedom from encroaching on that of another. Pointing out that absolute power in one person or branch results in dictatorship, while completely unobstructed freedom results in chaos, Norton called attention to several examples of Constitutional checks and balances to ensure liberty.

Another enlightening discussion ensued when many attendees answered, “For life,” when asked the length of appointments to the Supreme Court.

Norton pointed out a little-noticed phrase in the Constitution which says the continuance of the appointments is contingent on “good behavior.” That raised the obvious question of who determines “good behavior,” the answer being that Congress can impeach. However, individuals must communicate with representatives in Congress, let them know the will of their constituents, and keep them accountable.

Branson U. exists to encourage citizens to learn more about the workings of government, starting at the local level, and Liberty Lectures sponsors educational presentations to help equip people to get involved.

The second event in the Liberty Lectures series, “ShowMe MO,” will take place on Saturday, August 7 at 10 a.m. in the Hughes Brothers Theatre. “Show-Me MO” is a look at the Missouri Constitution and why it matters, featuring Tom Martz from the Locke and Smith Foundation, a Missouri organization committed to helping citizens understand their Constitution and hold legislators accountable to it. General admission is $18 per adult, ages 12 and under are free, and discounts are available for veterans, locals and families. Call 417-334-0076 for details and reservations.

Program residents and thrift store staff, Sandy Sellman and Tonya Trivitt, and Simmering Center PR director, Kim Phillips (Photo by Phil Thomas)

By Cindy Thomas, Staff Writer The Simmering Center, 360 Rinehart Rd., Branson, held a grand opening event on Friday,

July 2, for the Second Chance Thrift Store, located at 180 Claremont Dr., near the Center.

Second Chance Thrift Store

offers a great selection of clothing, household décor, kitchen items, and more, styled in room groupings for easy and fun browsing. Ladies from the women’s program assisted with the store’s styling and setup, and other residents built the outside donation box near the store.

Residents also participated in a naming contest. The winning name was chosen for its play on words, since the store gives secondhand goods continued usefulness just as the Simmering Center gives a second chance in life through its residential recovery and counseling programs. Simmering Center public relations direc-

tor, Kim Phillips, said the store will help provide retail training as a resume builder for future employment, as well as a possible option for meeting a com-

munity service requirement.

Store hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

Submitted to the Branson Globe Thank you to Taneyhills Library volunteer Joyce Coogan for this wonderful compilation of reading ideas!

The summer heat settling in means only one thing – it’s time to read! Taneyhills Library has new selections from favorite authors including Elin Hilderbrand and David Baldacci. Listed below are several intriguing possibilities for your summer reading journey.

“A Summer to Remember,”

by Erika Montgomery For 30-year-old Frankie Si-

mon, selling movie memorabilia in the shop she opened with her late mother on Hollywood Boulevard is more than just her livelihood: it’s an enduring connection to the only family she has ever known. But when a mysterious package arrives containing a photograph of her mother and famous movie stars at a film festival the year before Frankie’s birth, her life begins to unravel in ways unimaginable.

“Jewel of the Nile,” by Tessa Ashar Orphaned Chariline knows little of her parents’ tragic love story. While visiting her grandfather, she learns her Cushite father is alive and becomes obsessed with discovering his identity. So when clues lead to Rome, Chariline sneaks aboard a merchant ship on a forbidden quest.

But is somebody willing to kill for the truth she seeks?

“The Unforgiven,” by Heather Graham Twelve years after the grisly murder of her parents, a shadow creeps in from Kaitlyn Delaney’s past, reminding her that she will never completely escape

its terrifying grip. When a private detective investigates a gruesome crime in New Orleans, he makes connections to the murder of Katie’s parents. The otherworldly roots of this evil in the Big Easy in 1919 run deep, and lives are at stake.

“Eternal,” by Lisa Scottoline Elisabetta, Marco, and Sandro grew up together, but as the three become closer, a love triangle is created that will affect their lives forever. As World War II erupts in 1937, the Rome of their childhood turns into something they are terrified to witness.

Unfolding over decades, “Eternal” is a tale of loyalty and loss, family and food, love and war, set in one of the world’s most beautiful cities at its darkest moment.

Your Sunshine Company – Hemp-based wellness at its best

ADVERTISEMENT – Your Sunshine Company (YSC) is dedicated to natural wellness through hempbased products with terpenes. Cannabinoids and terpenes are prominent in the world today because they can activate the Endocannabinoid System in the body naturally with minimal to no side effects.

Those seeking a more natural way to be healthy have grown in number

over the years. YSC has been doing this since 2012 with compassion, knowledge and experience.

Our founder (Ginney Johnson) here at YSC started out with a booth in a flea market as a vapor vendor when she saw the need of her community to get off of cigarettes. One need led to another; once our stores opened up, the need for natural hemp-based well-

ness grew larger and here we are today. With her extensive background of understanding hemp capabilities through her raising with her grandparents, she along with her team rose to another challenge.

We brought in our now famous cannabinoid and terpene blends for better overall results of the hemp-based wellness products, taking full advantage of the en-

tourage effect. Have you thought about using CBD or other hempbased wellness products and just don’t know where to start? And for you out-of-state folks who don’t qualify for Missouri Medical, we have Delta 8 THC products. Look no further than YSC to start your journey into natural hemp-based wellness. We would love to help you!

Local foster program benefits dogs...and their humans

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Animal shelters across the United States have begun fostering programs for their pets, and the Shepherd of the Hills Humane Society is no exception.

Fostering brings with it many benefits. Foster families can see how a new pet would fit into their family routine and get an idea of which breed they would like to adopt. Fostering a pet can reduce

which offers three different options.

“The first is Foster to Adopt,” said Mason. “It is basically for the animals that are too young to be fixed yet. They can go into a “foster to adopt” home. That way, the pet doesn’t have to stay at the shelter, but gets to go into a home that wants to adopt them. They are able to start bonding with their family and be socialized. They are brought back to the shelter to be spayed or

stress and can teach children the responsibility of pet ownership before a commitment is made. While the benefits to the foster family are many, those to the pets who are fostered can be even greater.

“Fostering is becoming the future of animal welfare,” explained Alicia Bingham Mason, Operations Coordinator for the Shepherd of the Hills Humane Society Adoption Center and Thrift Shop. “Dogs do so much better, emotionally and behaviorally, in a home environment with family and routines. Fostering allows the people to get a better idea about the personality of the dog, so we can better market them to the public. We can find out what their likes and dislikes are and how they interact with other animals. We can get photos of the animal in a family environment so it helps people see them in their homes.”

The Shepherd of the Hills Humane Society recently began promoting their own foster program,

neutered. After the surgery, they are adopted by their foster family.”

Another type of fostering that the Shepherd of the Hills Humane Society instituted is the weekend/ sleepover foster program.

“This is great to help the animal get away and unwind for the weekend,” Mason noted. “Once again, it is great for us to get an idea what kind of family would be a good fit for the animals. The fosters help us by getting great photos of the foster pet with their family. And, we get better descriptions of the animals. A lot of times, they are getting better exposure being in a foster home.

Plus, there is research that shows getting the dog out of the shelter for just 48 hours helps reduce stress hormones in the pet.”

A third foster program that the Shepherd of the Hills Humane Society offers is geared towards animals with special medical or behavioral needs.

Said Mason, “Like a dog with

heartworms, it takes three months to treat. It’s hard on a dog to have to sit in a kennel the whole three months. So, we started placing them in quiet foster homes for that time.”

The Humane Society has received favorable response to the

foster programs.

“We have found that people want to help and enjoy fostering, but they don’t want to make a huge commitment,” Mason explained. “So the weekend foster program has become really popular. They can “check out” the dog

Friday afternoon or Saturday and return them Monday.”

Mason continued, “We would love to have more foster homes.

Anyone who is interested in fostering can reach out to me on our Facebook page, or send us an email at sohhs417@gmail.com.”

Tuesday Talks are back at the Branson Centennial Museum Submitted to Branson Globe The public is invited back to enjoy Tuesday Talks, the popular monthly series hosted by the Branson Centennial Museum and presented by area experts and aficionados of local history. On July 20 at 12:30 p.m., Terry Wayne Sanders

will provide his living history account “42 Years and Counting” as Branson’s premiere funny man, accomplished impersonator, and frequent front man for various venues and even the city as a whole. The free presentation will take place at the Branson Centennial Museum,

120 S. Commercial Street, in historic downtown Branson.

“I have been called the “face of Branson” because many people know my face but not my real name, explains Sanders, who appears as Homer Lee, Joan Rivers, Grandma Beulah, the Grinch and

many more comic characters. “Attendees in July can expect an hour filled with love, laughter and life.”

Terry Wayne Sanders is the busiest comedian in town, with seven different jobs in the entertainment industry this season. He’s clearly still going strong in his 42nd year as a comic headliner entertaining literally millions of people at Silver Dollar City with a wide range of characters appropriate for the 1880s theme park. Sanders has received the Comedian of the Year Award seven times, as well as the prestigious Pioneer Award at the annual Terry Awards in Branson, which are of no relation to the entertainer, despite the shared name.

In addition to his regular performances at Silver Dollar City and in The Shepherd of the Hills outdoor drama, Sanders was the comedian at the Braschler Music Show for 17 years. His comedy antics there earned him a regular spot on television’s Hee Haw variety show.

Since then, he has worked for many shows in Branson including Pierce Arrow, The Grand Jubilee, Shoji Tabuchi and currently Classic Country’s Patsy Cline Show

with C.J. Newsom. He also appears frequently at Big Cedar Lodge, the Baker Creek Seed Company in Mansfield, Missouri, and has played Barney Fife for the annual Muscular Dystrophy Association Lock-Up fundraiser for many years.

Terry’s an avid people-watcher and uses his keen observations of day-to-day life to keep his material fresh and his audiences in stitches.

It was Minnie Pearl who said it best, “Terry’s one of the best, and honey, I’ve seen a lot!”

The Tuesday Talk series is presented free of charge by the Branson Centennial Museum and White River Valley Historical Society.

Various topics of local and historical interest are presented by knowledgeable speakers on the third Tuesday of the month from 12:30 until 1:30 p.m. The Museum is in historic downtown Branson at 120 South Commercial Street, former home of Reisch Shoes & Boots.

Commission approves Statewide Transportation Improvement Program Submitted to Branson Globe The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission today approved the FY2022-2026 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). It includes transportation projects for July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2026.

The STIP is the Missouri Department of Transportation’s list of 1,434 highway and bridge projects that are planned by state and regional agencies.

The draft STIP was released in May for public review and comment. It focuses on taking care of the state’s existing transportation system by annually investing in 704 lane miles of interstate pavements, 1,387 miles of major route pavements, 2,733 miles of minor route pavements and 228 bridges.

The STIP details an annual construction program that averages $1.1 billion per year for the five-year period. It was developed assuming a federal funding level consistent with the last year of the FAST Act and includes the federal surface transportation funding provided by the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act (CRRSAA), which was enacted on Dec. 27, 2020. Other funding assumptions include redirected CARES Act monies and bond issuances in 2023

and 2026 to be repaid with dedicated motor vehicle sales tax revenue which is deposited in the State Road Bond Fund per the Amendment 3 legislation.

“The STIP is our commitment to Missourians of the projects that will be developed and delivered over the next five years,” MoDOT Director Patrick McKenna said. “This STIP represents the investment the Commission made several years ago to focus on asset management including more funding available for minor and low volume minor roads. Over the next three years, 50% of all state minor and low volume minor roads and bridges will be worked on. Overall, the STIP includes an estimated $5.5 billion over the next five years in projects spread out across the state on interstates, major and minor roads and bridges.”

The STIP also includes detailed project information for non-highway modes of transportation and a section detailing planned operations and maintenance activities for the next three years. This additional information is provided to allow Missourians to more easily see how their transportation funding is invested.

COVID-19 cases grow in hard-hit area of Missouri

(APnews.com) The number of hospitalized COVID-19 patients jumped by nearly 27% over the Fourth of July weekend in a hard-hit area of Missouri where immunization rates are low, leading to a temporary ventilator shortfall and a public call for help from respiratory therapists.

The delta variant, first identified in India, is spreading rapidly, straining hospitals in Springfield and raising fresh fears that the situation could soon grow worse as holiday gatherings seed fresh cases.

Missouri leads the nation with

the most new cases per capita in the past 14 days.

As of Monday, CoxHealth and the city’s other hospital, Mercy Springfield, were treating 213 COVID-19 patients, up from 168 on Friday. As recently as May 24, the two hospitals had just 31 patients.

“After what we’ve seen in the last month everyone is just holding their breath, especially after a holiday weekend like this, knowing that there were large gatherings,” said Erik Frederick, the chief administrative officer of Mercy Springfield.

Mayor sends condolences to Ray family, friends Submitted to Branson Globe Branson Mayor Larry Milton sends his condolences to the family and friends of the late Annette Ray, the wife of former City of Branson Utilities Director, Mike Ray. Mike dedicated 33 years to the City of Branson before retiring in May 2021, to spend more time with Annette.

“Mike and Annette are considered family to those at the City.

Our hearts and prayers go out to everyone who knew Annette. She will be missed,” Mayor Milton said.

The Ray family is foremost in the thoughts and prayers of the City of Branson and the City of Branson Utilities Department.
