The show must go on: Back-to-School Bash changes to drive-through event By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer Families lined up early for the 14th Annual Back to School Bash, hosted by Branson’s First Baptist Church. Held at Branson’s Rec Plex, this year’s bash on August 16 was a drive-thru event.
“Under normal circumstances, the entire Rec Plex campus is taken over by kids,” said First Baptist Church Lead Pastor Jeremy Thomas. “There are usually kids swimming in the pool, there is face painting, tons of
big bounce houses. There’s just a lot that goes into it. This year with Covid-19, we’re under a lot of restrictions. We decided, if we were going to do it, we were going to have to modify it.” SEE BASH, PAGE 7

By Rance Burger, Christian County Headliner Alderman Jason Shaffer’s refusal to vote means Ozark residents will not be required to wear masks in public places. After more than an hour and a half of debate, Shaffer abstained from voting on a bill that would have required face mask use in certain public settings. Aldermen Nathan Posten, Heather Alder, and Bruce Galloway voted for the bill. The vote came up on Aug. 17, as the Ozark Board of Aldermen met in a mixed format at the Ozark Community Center and on the Zoom teleconferencing platform. The vote also followed a four-hour public hearing conducted on Aug. 10. R.J. Flores and Ted Smith voted, “No,” and Shaffer abstained. “I think that’s a shame to put so much attention on masks when there are other things that we should be paying attention to, and we don’t care about that now. All we care about is masks,” Flores said. Had Shaffer voted in opposition, which appeared to be his intent up until the vote, it would have created a 3-3 tie and put a tying vote into the hands of Mayor Rick Gardner. “If this had been a tie, I would have voted against it, because I agree with R.J. that the bill is flawed,” Gardner said. “There is too much inconsistent studies of SEE OZARK, PAGE 12

C of O business students finish in the top ten in national competitions POINT LOOKOUT, MO. — College of the Ozarks business students participated in both state and national Phi Beta Lambda (PBL) competitions recently, via virtual formats. These competitions test the students’ aptitude in many business categories, such as economics, hospitality management, job interview, and small business management plan. PBL faculty advisor Emily Emery is proud of the students’ knowledge, competitive edge, and ability to adapt in a new, virtual environment.
“Our students competed with students across the entire United States for the national competition, placing in the Top 10 for all events,” Emery said. “We are so excited for their accomplishments!” Results from national competition: • Lindsay Hemann, junior marketing major from Osage, Iowa, took eighth place in Information Management and Business Communication.

By K.D. Michaels, Staff Writer A fun new design studio recently opened in Branson. Creation Station, located in the Falls Shopping Center, opened in early summer, but celebrated their grand opening and ribbon cutting this week. Owned and operated by partners Ken Moss and Tony Crum, Creation Station Design Studio is a custom t-shirt shop, unlike any other shop in the area. “What we do, opposed to other shops, is we are basically a ‘you design it yourself’ shop.” Moss explained. “We have work stations where you can create your own design, then we put it on a t-shirt and you can walk out the door with it. We can print photos on t-shirts, as well. We use a process called Direct to Garment. It’s like a great big ink jet printer, but it prints with water-based screen printing. So, it’s just like a screen printed shirt.” Creation Station features several computer-based workstations, loaded with templates. A customer can select a basic template, customize it with words and clip art, and have that custom-made t-shirt in a short time. High quality t-shirts, in all colors, are available in toddler through adult sizes, up to 5XL. But, the shop carries more than just apparel. “You can do custom souvenirs,” Moss explained. “We’ve got everything
from cups to mouse pads to printed photo items.” Another fun feature at the Creation Station is commonly referred to as Tie Dye Saturdays. Each week, the staff sets up chemicals and creates beautiful and unique tie-dye shirts from noon to about 5 pm. “We use professional grade chemicals, so the products don’t fade,” Moss noted. Creation Station also offers custom face masks, a very popular item in 2020. As part of their grand opening celebration, the studio generously printed a number of masks to be given away to Branson, Hollister, and Reeds Spring schools, as well as a school in Springfield. Located at 3265 Falls Parkway,

By Pat Lamb Have you every wondered why all the fuss about the importance of breakfast for children? Well, what they say is true. Children really do need a good breakfast to start the day and a good breakfast really does help a child in school. The very word “breakfast” means to break the fast of the long night hours with no food. When children get up in the morning, their stomachs are empty and need to have something put in them. The “juices” of the stomach are ready to work, but there is nothing there for them to work on unless something is added. If children don’t get breakfast, they become weak and listless and cannot function well. Also, without breakfast, children may have a tendency to eat more at later times and this can be a contributing factor to obesity. With so many parents working, it is often difficult to provide an adequate breakfast, but with a little planning it can be easily done. Some children can use a peeler to peel apples. Add water and a handful of red hots cinnamon candy and delicious applesauce is produced. It can be done ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. In addition, there are many things on the market now that make breakfast much easier to fix. Such items as instant oatmeal and frozen waffles or pancakes that can be popped

in the toaster are things that children can do for themselves. There are good ready-to-eat cereals and bad ready-to-eat cereals. Cereals high in sugar should be avoided. One can easily check the label to determine the amount of sugar in the cereal knowing that 4 grams of sugar equals one teaspoon of sugar. Since vitamin C cannot be stored in the body, children need juice or fruit every day. There are many drinks advertised for children that are loaded with sugar and are not 100% juice. Giving those “juices” to children is somewhat like giving them flavored, sugared water. Real juice or fruit is best. When children continually get too much sugar, the pancreas simply wears out and eventually the child can get diabetes. There are two types of diabetes. One
type can usually be avoided with proper diet. When children get up in the morning and eat a pop-tart or heavily sugared cereal, they get energetic for a period of time; then, the brain signals the body to take care of the sugar and the body goes to work to take care of it. This may then result in a “low”. Repeating this process over and over strains the work of the pancreas that secretes the substance to work on the excess sugar. The diabetes most often doesn’t occur until late adulthood, but the excess sugar in the diet is a contributing cause. Ideally, a family should sit at the breakfast table together to eat
a nice meal, but realistically, we know that usually doesn’t happen in today’s world. Some families make sure that the family is together for a nice breakfast on Saturday mornings when the children don’t have to hurry to school, or the parents do not have to hurry to work. This is a good idea. If it is a pancake breakfast, extra pancakes can be made and frozen to be popped in the toaster the next week. (Freezing extra homemade pancakes costs much less than buying them frozen.) The children can help do the cooking and cleaning. This can become a custom to be pleasantly remembered for years to come.

Continued from page 1 The modification meant two double rows of cars lined up in the Rec Plex parking lot, each hoping to pick up backpacks and school supplies for their children. “Years ago the church said ‘Hey, we want to love on our community,’ “ said Thomas. “One of our parishioners had the dream to give away backpacks and school supplies to kids, so that’s really what this event is about.” Thomas and volunteers from First Baptist Church were prepared with approximately 1,400 backpacks and related school supplies on site, with a contingency plan if more people arrived.. Volunteers also handed out bottles of water, popsicles and other snacks to those waiting on the warm, sunny day. Those in attendance were also treated to performances from Real Encounter Outreach, a ministry made up of professional athletes and ministers. As seen on America’s Got Talent, Real Encounter, under the direction of President and Founder Brad Bennett, performs a variety of moto stunts, street bike stunts, and BMX bike stunts. The outreach partners with churches and other organizations to bring in the athletes as a way of sharing the life-changing message of Jesus to fans of all ages. Those attending the bash were very appreciative of what the Back to School Bash was offering. “We come every year,” stated one parent “I am a single mom and this really helps to get my ids the school supplies they need.” Another parent echoed that thought, stating, “This is our third year attending. We have one biological child at home, six foster children, and one foreign exchange student. So, this really helps us. It assists us in getting some back to school
supplies and at least getting them off to a good start with some things. We can augment it later

if we need to, but we can do it in increments, not all at one time, so that really helps a lot.”

Although the Back to School Bash is presented by Branson’s First Baptist Church, Thomas is quick to say that it’s not about him or the church. “We are one small church, part of God’s church,” Thomas explained. “There are lots of
churches all over this community that we love, and we’re just a small part of the big thing that God is doing. This is just a fun way to love on our community. That’s really the heartbeat behind the whole event!”

Missouri Route 76/Table Rock Lake bridge project to begin following Labor Day Missouri Dept. of Transportation Drivers can expect one-lane traffic during daytime hours and overnight bridge closings when a project to replace the bridge deck of the Missouri Route 76 bridge over Table Rock Lake in Cape Fair begins the week of September 7, the Missouri Department of Transportation said. Traffic impacts will begin following the Labor Day holiday weekend on Tuesday, September 8. During daytime hours, drivers can expect one-lane traffic across the bridge with temporary traffic signals regulating traffic flow. During nighttime hours, the bridge will be CLOSED to all traffic. The work hours are 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. Monday through Friday.
During the bridge closings, a signed detour is in place using Missouri Route 173, Missouri Route 248 and Missouri Route 413. The signed detour is approximately 21 miles. Contractor crews will use a process to saw the bridge deck in sections and prep it for removal during daytime hours and at night the sections will be removed and then replaced with new concrete sections. The work is being conducted during fall/winter months outside of the tourist season to help lessen impacts to the community. MoDOT has also worked with the school districts in the area to attempt to limit impacts to school buses by doing the work as much as possible outside of school hours. The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2020.

Courtesy of MO Secretary of State’s Office Jefferson City, Mo. — According to a release from the National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS), St. Louis-based brewer Anheuser-Busch is producing and donating more than eight million ounces of hand sanitizer to polling locations across the United States for November’s General Election. “Missouri’s local election authorities have benefited from partnerships with a wide variety of companies and organizations, and this type of support from one of America’s most long-standing companies is another example of the cooperation and generosity that makes America truly unique,” said Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft. “I am proud that one of the economic anchors of St. Louis is showing the U.S. what it means to do business in the ‘Show-Me State.’” After consultation with Missouri’s local election officials, Ashcroft requested 1,050 gallons and 5,600 (8-oz.) bottles of hand sanitizer for use in polling places across the state in November. Prior to the June election, which was postponed from April 7 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, McCormick Distilling Company in Weston, Mo. donated 1,000 bottles of hand sanitizer that was later personally delivered to local election authorities by Ashcroft in May.
Ashcroft drove more than 5,000 miles and visited all 116 election jurisdictions. He delivered 17,000 face masks, 17,000 face shields, more than 500 gallons of sanitizer, 40,000 floor strips for physical distancing and 16,000 posters that encouraged 6 feet of distance between voters. At the same time, his office began distributing $4.5 million to local election authorities allowing funding for them to meet their jurisdiction’s individual needs. More recently, the office shipped 4,900 more face masks at the request of some election officials. In coordination with NASS, the National Association of State Election Directors (NASED) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Anheuser-Busch will distribute the hand sanitizer to state election offices that have requested it to help ensure the safety of voters and poll workers throughout the election process. Ashcroft recently served on the Executive Committee of NASS and his co-directors of elections are members of NASED.

That was one death too many in Posten’s mind. “I am not in a position where I’m going to throw up my hands and say, ‘I’m done, come and take me,’ I’m
going to fight for this community and I’ve going to push back against this disease any way I can,” Posten said. Shaffer has opposed local government orders making masks a requirement from the onset. “With great power comes great responsibility. We have to look at this and take it carefully,” Shaffer said. “If someone can come to me and show me that masks will save a lot of lives, yeah, I’m on it. If there is a demonstration of evidence that (COVID-19) a great threat to our community, that also comes into play.” However, Shaffer said that the experts failed to provide sufficient evidence that masks were helpful in fighting in the spread of COVID-19. “To me, that seems to cause more trouble by getting people overconfident that these masks are going to protect them from the disease,” Shaffer said.

p.m. at Atlanta Conservation Area, north of Macon. This will provide a free opportunity for disabled hunters, and/or youth ages 11 –17 years old, to experience Missouri’s hunting heritage and hopefully harvest some birds. “Dove hunting kicks off the fall hunting seasons,” said MD Conservation Educator Rob Garver. “For many waterfowl and upland bird hunters, it is a great way to get back in the groove mentally and physically. It is also a fun way to enjoy the outdoors with friends and fellow outdoorsmen and women.” The clinic will cover habitat and biology, as well as wing-shooting, rules and regulations. After the morning clinic, participants and experienced mentors will head into the field to try to harvest some birds. MDS will provide lunch for
all participants and firearms and ammunition will be provided to those who need them. MDC and MDS will also provide experienced mentors and track chairs to assist mobility-impaired hunters during the hunt. MDC’s track chairs are electric wheelchairs outfitted with treaded tracks that allow for safe control and stability, providing access to the outdoors in all types of terrain. “MDS and MDC make a great team,” said Garver. “Together, we help ensure that everyone gets an opportunity to enjoy nature.” Everyone handling a firearm must be able to handle it safely and under their own control. Participants age 16–65 years old must purchase a valid Missouri Small Game Hunting Permit prior to the event, available at missouriconservation.org/

Philly Naked Bike Ride called off because of the coronavirus PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The coronavirus pandemic has slammed the brakes on this year’s Philly Naked Bike Ride. The annual event, which usually
draws thousands of nude cyclists for a trip around Philadelphia and its tourist sites, had been set for later this month. But organizers who had been gearing up for
it said the city’s COVID-19 cases made them halt their planning. “After much debate, we feel that cancelling this year’s event is the most responsible thing to do,” they
said on their website. But they had a message for would-be naked riders eager to break free of their home lockdowns: They hope to be back riding in 2021. “We hope to see you next year, hopefully under better and healthier circumstances,” they said. “Keep up your (socially distant) riding and be safe.”
Ride organizer Maria Serrahima said canceling this year was “the safest bet” because of the highly contagious and deadly virus. Still, she said on Friday she hopes people are “taking advantage of the emptier streets and riding — masks up.” The naked ride is to promote positive body image, advocate for SEE BIKE RIDE, PAGE 17

the safety of cyclists and protest dependence on fossil fuels. Riders pedal a 10-mile (16-kilometer) course while taking in sights including Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell and the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s steps, featured in the “Rocky” movies. The 12th Philly Naked Bike Ride had been scheduled for Aug. 29. The ride used to be held in September, often in temperatures around 70 degrees, but enough of the naked riders mentioned feeling chilly that, last year, it was moved up to August.

PHOENIX (AP) — An Arizona city official making $107,000 a year resigned after an investigation found he used city workers for an outside job involving an attempt to secure irrigation water for farmers who paid him with a goat. The investigation found that the possibility of cash down the road also was discussed by Frank Stevens, the now-former former water resource portfolio manager for the city of Surprise, the Arizona Republic reported. According to a report obtained by the newspaper through a public records request, a private investigator hired by Surprise found that Stevens had city workers prepare some of the organic farmers’ eight acres of leased land for use as a demonstration site for a drip irrigation system that Stevens tried to get a company to provide as part of a proposed partnership with him. The farmers hired Stevens as a consultant to help them get irrigation water from an property association, paying him with a goat for his work and agreeing to provide additional compensation if he was successful, according
to the investigation. One of the farmers told the investigator that they gave Stevens the goat because “he liked the animal and it would keep his kids happy when they came home from school,” Stevens said. The investigation concluded that Stevens violated city policy in several ways, including by having water workers do non-city work by having other employment that could compromise his judgment, actions or job performance. Asked whether it was appropriate to use city workers in connection with his consultant work, Stevens told the investigator that he knew “the lines are gray or muddy.” Stevens resigned his city job in February, according to the Republic, and another city official who supervised Stevens also resigned. The Republic said Stevens declined comment. The Associated Press was not able to obtain a working phone number for Stevens.
Oldest person in US is now 115...or is it 116?
CHARLOTTE (AP) – The oldest living person in the US celebrated her birthday Saturday. Hester Ford is now 115 - or, 116. According to her family, one set of U.S. Census Bureau documents indicate she was born in 1905, but another set indicate 1904 as her birth year. Either way, based on data from the Gerontology Research Group, Ford is the oldest person on record alive in the country. Friends and relatives helped Ford celebrate by driving by her home and leaving presents on the driveway. “It’s not every day you get the pleasure of attending a celebration for someon turing 116 years of age,” CarePatrol of Charlotte, senior living services provider, wrote on Twitter. “Many had the honor of seeing Mother #HesterFord celebrate her special day.” “I just live right, all I know,” Ford told her granddaughter.
• VOTE
Continued from page 1 vote, cast at the bidding of his mother. Harry T. Burn’s surprise move set the stage for decades of slow but steady advances for American women in electoral politics. Burn, from the small town of Niota in eastern Tennessee, joined the Legislature in 1918 as its youngest member. The following year, Congress approved the 19th Amendment, touching off the battle to win ratification by the legislatures of 36 of the 48 states. The process moved quickly at first: By March 1920, 35 states had ratified, while eight states, mostly Southern, had rejected the amendment. Of the states yet to vote, Tennessee was the only one where ratification was considered possible under prevailing political conditions. At that time, women in more than half the states could vote in presidential elections. But they had no statewide voting rights throughout the South and several other states. The amendment was ap-
proved 25-4 in the state Senate and sent to the House, where sentiment was divided as its turn to vote came on Aug. 18, 1920. Anti-suffragists believed they had the votes needed to table the amendment, but that failed in a 48-48 tie. Burn was among those supporting the motion to table. Next came the decisive vote on whether to ratify. Onlookers expected another tie, which would have doomed the measure. But when Burn’s turn came, he switched sides. His “aye” was so unexpected that many onlookers were unsure what they’d heard, according to various historical accounts. The amendment passed 49-47. Some wondered if Burn had been bribed. But the next day, addressing the House, he offered an explanation. He had received a letter from his mother, urging him to buck the anti-suffragist sentiments of many of his constituents and instead support the amendment.
